The Courtyard Marriott hotel will close next year to undergo a major revamp.
The five-storey, 204-room hotel will close temporarily from the end of next year’s tourist season while the expansive facelift takes place. The hotel’s online reservation system is not allowing any booking with a check-out date later than 28 June 2009.
In the meantime, the hotel remains open for business, offering residents’ and business rates.
‘We’re still open, we’re still here,’ said sales and marketing manager J. Aliya Dunstan.
The multi-million revamp of the hotel, which was sold last year with little fanfare to Atlanta-based real estate development company Thomas Enterprises, is expected to take at least a year.
Ms. Dunstan said one of the many planned changes to the hotel was the possible creation of a walkway from the hotel to the beach across the road to ensure guests could safely cross the busy West Bay Road that separates the hotel from Seven Mile Beach.
The hotel has been operating in Cayman for seven years, first as a Holiday Inn and then as a Courtyard Marriott.
The revamp is expected to push the hotel into the higher end of Cayman’s tourism market, to compete with the Ritz-Carlton and Westin Casaurina. ‘It will be something different and fresh for the island,’ Ms. Dunstan said.
Last year, Atlanta-based Thomas Enterprises Inc. bought the Courtyard Marriott from the previous owners Columbia Sussex Corporation in Kentucky, which also owns the Westin Casuarina.
‘Right now, we are more focussed on getting business for the upcoming months. Season 2009 will be fine. We’re already back on track,’ said Ms. Dunstan who admitted that booking fell in the run-up and immediately after the sale of the hotel last year.
To help attract guests and corporate functions during Cayman’s slow season, the hotel is offering a residents’ rate of $99 a night, as well as a corporate rate for business clientele of $139.
‘This past long weekend, we were full. A lot of people are realising we have a good product,’ said Ms. Dunstan.

This week we were recording live from Die Laughing, a 50 hour comedy marathon. Immediately prior to this episode, the three of us were privileged to participate in a unique improvised wedding ceremony as three of seven officiants. It was extremely silly. We were then joined by the bride, regular guest Melissa Kaercher and her new husband, Fes. We spend most of the episode talking about the wedding, which will probably make you wish you were there.
Congratulations, Melissa and Fes!

A Lovely Cup of Cofffee with Muhammed
For more than a year, the Calais authorities have made it illegal to give food to refugees in certain areas. Even as I write that sentence, it seems unfathomable that the basic human right of access to food is made illegal to people.
But Care4Calais and a few other organisations prevail, and continue to find areas where we can give out food to refugees, who are often desperately hungry.
Last week, I went with a group of volunteers into the camps where refugees sleep, to give them food tickets so they could make their way to our van and trade a ticket for a food package. It was here that I met Muhammed, a 26-year-old man from Sudan. As another volunteer and I walked into his home of tent sheets tied to branches and a makeshift outdoor kitchen (you can see it in the picture), we asked if he’d like food tickets. His answer? “Would you like to have a coffee?”
In spite of his situation, Muhammed was asking us if we would like to share a cup of coffee with him – coffee that was sacred, as it had been provided by one of the support organisations. As he prepared this coffee with care and pride, he set about organising two makeshift seats of big upturned empty tin cans. Our comfort ,and having somewhere to sit, was clearly important to him.
As we sat down, we spoke to him about his family, his interests, his situation and we learnt some Sundanese Arabic. After a while we got up to leave and thanked him from the bottom of our hearts for his kindness and hospitality. “You are very welcome,” he said. “This is my home, and you are welcome here. I would like you to come back again to have food with me”.
These words will stay with me for a long time. They were spoken by a man who has barely nothing, has been through things that are unimaginably painful and traumatic, who is living in heartbreaking conditions and who, in spite of it all, wanted to welcome us into his “home”; to make us feel comfortable and share what little he has with us.
Muhammed – and others in his situation – are not numbers. They are not just refugees; they are human beings, with feelings, passions and desires. And they deserve the basic rights of food, warmth, safety and security.
The areas where it is illegal to give food to refugees are increasing, which makes it difficult to make sure refugees can eat. It’s more important than ever that we can keep helping. You can buy a food parcel to feed a family for just £10. Go to care4calais.org

Remembering What Never Happened
On March 1st, I will toast to all things that could of been, for the things that actually happen tend to ultimately disappoint, while the things that never happen never do. They just remain there with the a sweet sullen melancholy of what could have been….
One of my favorite aspects of blogging is that I can not fully cede to the revisionist nature of human memory. As time shifts, we remember things different. We often call this “perspective” and we feel that we’ve reached some form of truth. But perspective is merely a view or vantage point on a situation – something that constantly changes. Memories, therefore, go through this mental form of telephone – getting configured and reconfigured with each new perspective until the final note is often not very similar to the original. With blogs, I see – often in explicit form – the way I was feeling about certain things at the time. This makes those times when you question why things happen, what could have been, and all the tidal movements in between make a bit more sense because you’re chronically life in the moment, rather than letting perspective pervert it.
Life, invariably, will move on. While our perspective on things change, ultimately I can always come back to these vignettes of my life and toast to these passages that stake claim into the true feelings I had at the time. The true feelings that make bittersweet dates like March 1st ring a bit emptier because all those things that you waited for and wanted, finally have reached a point to where they are graspable – except they are lost to you, forever shelved in the imaginary land of what could have been….
On March 1, I will toast to it…..and hopefully, just move on….

Title : Coherent Stereoscope.

Abstract : Use of a coherent light source in a microstereoscope offers potential advantages over incoherent illumination in viewing film imagery. Rotation of the dc term in the aperture stops of the microstereoscope not only reduces optical noise, but also results in a system modulation transfer function (MTF) greater than that obtainable with conventional illumination. To test this technique, a Richards light table was modified to accommodate a coherent (laser) light source with beam rotation. The microstereoscope used was a Wild M-5. Preliminary results show that the coherent resolution is greater than with the conventional incoherent illumination and that the coherent optical noise is eliminated. (Author)

While in the midst of my wedding planning, I found some frames from their store that would look perfect on my album and reception table. Their selections in the photo frames are mordern, and stylish, and heavily influenced by the nordic lifestyle. I was ecstatic when I received the frames in my mail.
These Umbra Prisma Photo Frame retails from $29.80 to $35.80. Classy is the right adjective for this frame.
These metal frames are well made and sturdy. They even provide a spare screw!
This frame is definitely going to be featured on my album table for the wedding reception! Other than photo frames Mason Home Decor also sells furniture, lightings and home essentials. Sometimes, buying a lamp from an online shop can be tricky as you do not know the quality of the lamp made just by viewing the photos online.
However, I am pleased with what I received! This totally matches the Prisma photo frame with the brass accents of the lamp. The lamp is called Steeltech Table Lamp on the website and retails for $99.90.
A close up of the lamp indicates that the workmanship is good. Look at the ball bearing at the joints. All in all, I feel that all the products received from Masons Home Decor are really heavy to the feel and luxurious.

Lately I had already been researching for the home decorations and style that I want for my new BTO even though it is years away from its completion.
While I was styling the “set” for the photos for my blog, I had set upon my mind on the look I want for my flat – which is part Junaglow and part Scandanivian. Junaglow is the latest interior design trend in 2017. It is really hard to define the Jungalow style, but think of it as a bohemian approach in a Parisan flat with lots of greenery. Imagine one corner with cosy lush sofa and throw / blankets. Your perfect resort in under your roof.
Here are also some of the other inspirations that I want as my aesthetics for the house:
Love the black cabinets and a modern yet bohemian look.
A contrast of baby pink with navy blue and brass/gold fittings.
Oak & black & white with hints of green from the plants. Nature inspired.
Teal, my favourite colour!
Thanks for reading ~

When do you expect that Formac will release a full HDTV resolution LCD monitor with specs comparable to those of its existing product line? Before or after Apple gives us a 19"? Later this season or sometime in 2003? How about Sony or other likely competitors? When Apple eventually modifies its LCD offerings, are the specs on the 23" likely to get even better, or will they just introduce a top quality 19" and (presumably) drop the 22" and 15"? I am eager to buy a dual 1 ghz Mac, but I need a monitor to go with it and plan to wait until Apple drops the price substantially on the 23" or someone delivers Formac specs in an affordable widescreen. Aesthetically, I like the Apple LCD screen enclosure better than Formac's, but screen specs rule. Hope I won't have to wait so long for this that then I'll feel obligated to wait on the next post-MacWorld speedbump too! This is endless.


Red Elvis: A State Supreme Court has ruled in favour of a Greenwich man in a dispute over ownership of a piece of art known as ”Red Elvis.”
Swedish heiress Kersten Lindholm of Greenwich had appealed a court ruling that declared newsprint magnate Peter Brant the rightful owner of ”Red Elvis,” a six-foot-tall painting that features 36 identical images of Elvis Presley’s face.
Brant bought the painting from Lindholm’s art dealer, who was later convicted of stealing it. The 1962 Andy Warhol silk screen is worth as much as $12 million.
The high court ruled today that Brant is the rightful owner of the painting.

Trapped air in the heater core of a 2001-’05 Honda Civic can cause an occasional gurgling that’s loudest when lightly accelerating through 1,400 rpm with the temperature control dial cranked all the way to maximum heat.
Bleeding the cooling system might cut down on the noise, but, in some vehicles, the heater core may still gurgle even after extensive bleeding. Here’s a way to bleed the system to ensure good results.
1. Make sure the temperature control dial is set to maximum heat (turned fully clockwise).
2. Remove the radiator cap and attach a Matco Tools spill-free funnel (P/N SFF2) to the radiator filler neck. If your shop doesn’t have one, you can insert a clean outer CV joint boot into the filler neck opening instead.
3. Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches normal operating temperature.
4. Fill the funnel with engine coolant. The funnel raises the engine coolant level, increasing the pressure on the air bubble.
5. Lift up the right-front corner of the vehicle. Increase the engine speed, and “burp” the heater core by massaging the hoses.
6. Turn off the engine.
7. Remove the funnel and reinstall the radiator cap.

I'm a freelance writer/photographer living in the East Village neighborhood of New York City.
Published November 2nd 2010
Around the time of the Civil War, Brooklyn's Green-wood Cemetery, a national historic landmark, attracted as many visitors a year as did Niagara Falls—some 500,000 in fact. These days, it's difficult to imagine so many people seeking out a cemetery simply for its gorgeous views (it's one of the highest elevations in Brooklyn) though given its equal mix of beauty and tranquility, Green-wood remains one of New York's most beloved natural landscapes.
Though it's a prime destination for history buffs—it's the site of the first major battle of the Revolutionary War and is a permanent home to more than 500,000 New Yorkers—those seeking a peaceful respite from the grind of urban life can also take refuge among its 478 acres of flowering trees, lush grasses, and interesting architecture and monuments. It's also no surprise that there is an increase of visitors in the months leading up to Halloween, as Green-wood historians like Jeff Richman lead treks through the hills by flashlight on Saturday nights with live accordion music and a peek inside the cemetery's underground catacombs. Richman, as well as the group of historians on staff at Green-wood, take great pleasure in delighting visitors by giving them a sense of the lives of those buried on site, including hundreds of Civil War Union soldiers. Among the books he's written is one that traces primary sources like letters to individual plots, offering a detailed glimpse of some of those lives lost.
Architecturally, Green-wood also brings a lot to the table with its Gothic-styled entrance gate designed by Richard Upjohn in 1861, as well as its ornate chapel, built about 30 years earlier. The chapel interior was designed by Grand Central Terminal's architectural firm Warren and Wetmore in 1911. Once inside, get a closer look at the receiving tomb on the left, the exact place where dead bodies were temporarily laid to rest during winter months when the grounds were too frozen for digging.
It's no secret, however, that the draw for most visitors lies in locating the cemetery's most famous—and infamous—residents, including corrupt Tammany leader William "Boss" Tweed (1823-1878), notorious characters from the epic film Gangs of New York, and many others. Pick up a map from the guard at the main entrance or inside the chapel office and create your own individual tour. Stroll along romantically named pathways and note the gravesites of newspaperman Horace Greeley (1811-1872), abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887), inventors Samuel F.B. Morse (1791-1872) and Elias Howe (1819-1867), First Lady Alice Roosevelt (1861-1884), and even the unfortunate actress who happened to be on stage the night President Lincoln was assassinated, Laura Keene (1826-1873). More recent interments include famed painter Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), war journalist Steven C. Vincent (1955-2005), and poet/musician Tuli Kupferberg (1923-2010).
If you'd prefer a guided tour, those are also available and include a popular historic tour by trolley every Wednesday at 1 PM (and the last Sunday of the month), which tells the tales of some of the site's most famous residents. That two-hour tour by historian Marge Raymond also details some lesser-known facts about the cemetery, first established in 1838. As a naturalist and birdwatcher, Raymond offers added information about the flora and fauna on the grounds, specifically its avian life, including a family of monk parakeets that have nested in the Gothic arch since the 1960s. Reservations are required for all tours and members of Green-wood's Historic Fund receive significant discounts.
Green-wood is also the site for many events throughout the year. Frequent music and dance performances take place on its grounds when weather permits, as well as book signings, sketching classes, poetry readings, military reenactments, and other related activities. Among the cemetery's most famous and well-attended events is its annual Halloween tour, "Murder, Mayhem, and Spirits," which takes place this year on October 30 and 31 at 1 PM. Reservations fill up quickly, however, so book your spot now!

It has been said that depression is the epidemic of the 21st century. Certainly the rates of diagnosis have increased over the last 10-15 years. Some claim that this is due to better recognition of the issue and that actual rates are unchanged. Others feel that we are collectively more depressed than in years gone by.
Figures from the USA show that the number of Americans prescribed an antidepressant doubled between 1996 and 2005 and that those being treated took more tablets. Yet there is nothing to show that the population is better off. In fact the suicide rate has risen.
It is interesting to note hat $1billion is spent each year on promoting anti depressants. Between 1999 and 2005 the amount spent on direct to consumer advertising nearly quadrupled.
When one looks at the definition of depression in the DSM4 (the psychiatry reference manual) there are a number of criteria, which need to meet for a diagnosis of depression. Some of these like a 5% change in weight are measurable; others like reduced concentration are subjective. There are 9 criteria 5 need to be present for at least 2 weeks and their needs to be an impact on the person’s ability to function either at work or socially.
This area is a touchy one. There are many people who feel bad, who have stress, who have issues that trouble them. These people may need some help or assistance to get through a difficult time. There seems to be a tendency to label many of this group as being depressed. The rise in prescriptions in part represents a reclassification of stress as depression. The two may overlap but are not the same.
The de-stigmatizing of mental health has been a good thing. Mental health issues are no less real than any other. However, it has also led people to feel that having a bad hair day is somehow the same as having depression. I am staggered by the number of people who feel that because they are facing challenges in their life; feel that they have got “a bit of depression”.
When “bad” things happen it is as normal to feel down, as it is to feel happy when “good” things happen. To feel down after a relationship breakdown or job loss is no more abnormal than to feel happy after winning a lottery. There is a range of human emotion and feeling-all of which are valid.
We need to be careful about medicalizing the human condition. Claims that three year olds can have depression demonstrate this tendency. Children, like adults can have emotional and behavioral problems and those problems need help. This is not the same as saying they have a medical illness requiring a drug.
It was Sigmund Freud, no less who in 1926 warned that if psychoanalysis fell into the hands of doctors that the human psyche and its nuances would be reduced to an illness to be treated. I suspect if he were alive today he would be horrified at how pharmacology now dominates the field of psychiatry.
Without the dark we could not understand light. We all have lessons to learn in our lives. It is from the hardest times that the greatest growth and learning’s come. Some people will need medication to get them through or at least started. For a reasonable number of people who are experiencing life’s “downs” the answer is more likely to lie in confronting and resolving the issues rather than in a tablet.

NICHOLASVILLE — The city of Nicholasville will celebrate its 210th birthday on Tuesday with a public event.
The Founders Day Celebration will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Tuesday in the conference room of the Jessamine Chamber of Commerce, 508 North Main Street.
Birthday cake will be served and there will be a pictorial display of more than 100 photographs showing Nicholasville through the years.
The celebration is open to the public.
Historical accounts say Nicholasville was laid out on Sept. 16, 1798 so that the main roads led to Lexington, Danville and Harrodsburg.
The Rev. John Metcalf, a Methodist preacher, named the town in honor of Gen. George Nicholas, a prominent attorney who was instrumental in drafting the Kentucky Constitution.
The city received its first charter in 1812 and it was incorporated in 1837.
The most recent figures from the U.S. Census Bureau estimate that Nicholasville's population in 2007 was 25,854, making it the 12th largest city in Kentucky.


Komodo Island Fire Extinguished; Investigation on Cause of Fire Underway
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A fire broke out at a savanna located in the Rinca Island, which is part of the Komodo National Park, on Tuesday afternoon, November 2. Komodo National Park confirmed that the fire was able to be extinguished on Wednesday noon.
“Thirty two rangers were mobilized to the location, and additional seven rangers this morning,” said the head of the Komodo National Park Lukita Awang on November 3, Antaranews reported.
The fire was first reported on Tuesday 15:00 Central Indonesia Time (WITA) by national park officials. Around 50 people consisting of rangers and locals worked hand-in-hand to put out the fire.
Awang assured that park officials have swept the entire area and made sure that no fire was left, saying that Komodo habitats in the island are currently safe. “The cause of the fire is still being investigated. The weather was extremely hot and the wind could possibly be the cause.”

"This is the most detailed cosplay I have ever created! I am most proud of this one and when I wear it to cons this cosplay garners the most reactions."
@Shawna_nanana had little experience constructing detailed cosplays from scratch prior to building this costume. It's primarily made of EVA foam and foam clay. Leather scraps, beads, and plastic were used to create details on the hand-painted body suit.
Ms. Marvel is a superheroine within Marvel comics. She was introduced as female counterpart to Captain Marvel, but has now taken on a lore of her own with a new television show coming out this June on Disney+.
"Everything from the wig to the bodysuit came together perfectly! Also, this is the most comfortable cosplay I’ve ever done!"
Storm is a mutant in Marvel comics who can control the weather. She is one of the strongest women in all of Marvel comics and a prominent member of the X-Men.
This will always be one of my favorites because this was my first successful cosplay.

Only one piece in “September 11,” which opens at MOMA PS1 on the tenth anniversary of the attacks, directly responds to them. It’s an achingly simple collage by Ellsworth Kelly, a grass-green trapezoid superimposed on an aerial photograph of Ground Zero. The curator Peter Eleey chose the other seventy-some works for their uncanny, if inadvertent resonance with 9/11, to consider the power our memories have to commandeer our perceptions. So a forlorn Manhattan streetscape, photographed in 1956 by Diane Arbus, is haunted by the future, and an airplane engine, pulverized to floor-strewn dust by Roger Hiorns in 2008, is haunted by the past. A formalist abstraction becomes a critique of jingoism: these colors may not run, but they’re unravelling in Rosemarie Trockel’s 1986 red-white-and-blue knitted wool piece. Eleey’s eloquent premise is undermined, maybe inevitably, by his conflicted approach. Shock value (Sarah Charlesworth’s stark 1980 photomural of a falling body) vies with elegy (Janet Cardiff’s sublime 2001 choral sound piece). Can a show be both calculated and heartfelt? ♦

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has decided to keep Pakistan’s economic growth forecast at 2.5%. This figure remains consistent with the IMF’s previous report and is in line with official projections, although it falls short of the official target by 1%.
Contradiction with Previous Government’s GDP Claim
The IMF, like the World Bank, has not accepted Pakistan’s claim of 0.3% GDP growth for the previous year. Instead, the new report suggests an economic contraction of 0.5% for the last fiscal year, which coincided with the government of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM). There were allegations that the previous government had pressured the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics to present a positive growth figure.
Varying Growth Forecasts
Among international financial institutions, the IMF’s 2.5% growth projection is the highest. In contrast, the World Bank has forecasted 1.7% growth, the Asian Development Bank predicts 1.9%, and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) anticipates growth around 2%. Given Pakistan’s annual population growth rate of 2.6%, maintaining economic growth below this rate could lead to increased unemployment and poverty in the country.
Long-Term Growth Projection
The IMF’s report projects that Pakistan’s economic growth may reach 5% by the year 2028, with this forecast subject to change due to rapid economic developments within the country.
Reduction in Inflation Projection
The IMF has revised its inflation projection for Pakistan downward, now forecasting an average annual inflation rate of 23.6% for the current fiscal year. This is a notable decrease from the previous projection made in July, which was 2.3% higher. In June of the next year, the IMF predicts an annual inflation rate of 17.6%, though it still remains significantly higher than the official targets set by the central bank and the federal government.
Factors Contributing to Inflation
Inflation in Pakistan has been driven by increases in the prices of energy, petroleum products, and currency devaluation. The recent stabilization of the Pakistani rupee, partly due to military-led efforts against currency smuggling, has brought some relief.
Current Account Deficit and Remittances
The IMF suggests that Pakistan’s current account deficit may remain around 1.8% of GDP for the current fiscal year, slightly exceeding the official target. Additionally, remittances to Pakistan have seen a decrease, with a decline of 11.5% in September compared to the same month the previous year.
Unemployment Rate and Global Economic Outlook
The IMF projects a decrease in the unemployment rate in Pakistan from 8.5% in the previous year to 8% in the current fiscal year. Globally, the IMF anticipates a slowdown in economic growth from 3.5% in 2022 to 3% in the current year. It further expects growth to slow to 2.9% next year, slightly down from previous projections in July.

BACKGROUND: There are two principal senescence barriers that must be overcome to successfully immortalize primary human epithelial cells in culture, stress-induced senescence, and replicative senescence. The p16INK4a/retinoblastoma protein (p16/Rb) pathway mediates stress-induced senescence, and is generally upregulated by primary epithelial cells in response to the artificial conditions from tissue culture. Replicative senescence is associated with telomere loss. Following each round of cell division, telomeres progressively shorten. Once telomeres shorten to a critical length, the DNA damage response pathway is activated, and the tumor suppressor p53 pathway triggers replicative senescence. Exogenous expression of telomerase in normal human epithelial cells extends the replicative capacity of cells, and in some cases, immortalizes cells. However reliable immortalization of epithelial cells usually requires telomerase activity coupled with inactivation of the p16/Rb pathway. METHODS: A lentiviral vector, pLOX-TERT-iresTK (Addgene #12245), containing a CMV promoter upstream of a bicistronic coding cassette that includes loxP sites flanking the catalytic subunit of human telomerase gene (TERT) and herpes simplex virus type-1 thymidine kinase gene (HSV1-tk) was used to transduce normal prostate basal epithelial cells (PrECs) initiated in cell culture from prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomies. RESULTS: Transduction of early (i.e., <7) passage PrECs with TERT led to successful immortalization. However, attempts to immortalize late (i.e., >7) passage PrECs were unsuccessful. Late passage PrECs, which acquired elevated p16, were unable to overcome the senescence barrier. Immortalized PrECs (TERT-PrECs) retained a normal male karyotype and low p16 expression. Additionally, TERT-PrECs were non-tumorigenic when inoculated into intact male immunodeficient NSG mice. CONCLUSIONS: The present studies document that early passage human PrECs have sufficiently low p16 to permit immortalization by TERT expression alone. TERT-PrECs developed using this transduction approach provides an appropriate and experimentally facile model for clarifying the molecular mechanism(s) involved in both immortalization of human PrECs, as well as identifying genetic/epigenetic “drivers” for conversion of these immortalized non-tumorigenic cells into fully lethal prostate cancers. Notably, loxP sites flank the exogenous TERT gene in the TERT-PrECs. Cre recombinase can be used to excise TERT, and resolve whether TERT expression is required for these cells to be fully transformed into lethal cancer. Prostate 77: 374–384, 2017.

It may not be as well-known as Bitcoin, but Ethereum (opens in new tab) has had a sterling start to 2021. The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market value reached a record high of $1,824.59 earlier this week, beating its previous peak of $1,761.35.
Ether, the name of the native cryptocurrency on the Ethereum blockchain, has more than doubled in value in 2021, outperforming Bitcoin, which has also reached record highs in the early months of the year. The surge in the value of cryptocurrencies is likely the result of low liquidity across crypto exchanges.
It is thought that many investors may have taken direct custody of their coins or moved them to decentralized finance protocols instead of keeping them on exchanges. If more Ether coins are being stored in hot (opens in new tab) or cold crypto wallets (opens in new tab) rather than being listed on exchanges, sell-side liquidity could have dried up, leading to price increases.

Going up and up
Another potential reason behind ether’s value increase this year is the announcement that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange would allow the trading of Ethereum futures contracts – granting further legitimacy to the cryptocurrency.
In addition, although cryptocurrencies have had a few setbacks – including a recent spate of crypto-mining malware (opens in new tab) – they are now pretty well-established within the financial market.

King's Ranch of Jonesboro Incorporated v. Jonesboro Arkansas, City of
OPINION AND ORDER granting 9 MOTON for Summary Judgment filed by King's Ranch of Jonesboro Incorporated; denying 16 MOTION for Summary Judgment filed by Jonesboro Arkansas, City of. Signed by Chief Judge J. Leon Holmes on 4/25/2011. (jct)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
KING’S RANCH OF JONESBORO, INC.
No. 3:10CV00096 JLH
CITY OF JONESBORO, ARKANSAS
OPINION & ORDER
On April 26, 2010, King’s Ranch of Jonesboro, Inc., an Arkansas nonprofit corporation, filed
a complaint in this Court against the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas, for alleged violations of the Fair
Housing Act (“FHA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 3604(f)(1)-(3) (2006). Specifically, the complaint alleges that
the City of Jonesboro denied housing to handicapped children by refusing King’s Ranch’s request
to waive the definition of “family” in its zoning resolution so that King’s Ranch could house eight
children and two house parents in a single family unit. The parties have filed cross-motions for
summary judgment. For the following reasons, the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is
granted, and the defendant’s motion for summary judgment is denied.
In February 2008, King’s Ranch purchased 10.57 acres located at 2816 Day Drive, Jonesboro,
Arkansas, to operate as a home for up to eight abused, neglected, and abandoned children as well as
two full-time houseparents. The property is located in Jonesboro’s R-1 residential zoning district
and contains a 4,900 square foot brick home. Pursuant to the City of Jonesboro’s zoning resolution,
a group of more than five unrelated persons living together in a single family home must obtain a
conditional use permit to reside in the city’s R-1 district as a “group residential.” The resolution
defines “group residential” as “[t]he use of a site for occupancy by groups of more than five (5)
persons, not defined as a family. Typical uses include fraternity or sorority houses, dormitories,
residence halls, and boarding or lodging houses.” (Pl.’s Mot. for S.J. Ex. 1 at 3.) In contrast, a
“family” is defined as “[o]ne or more persons related by blood, marriage or adoption, or a group of
not more than five (5) unrelated persons living together and subsisting in common as a single, nonprofit housekeeping unit utilizing only one kitchen.” (Id.)
In January 2008, King’s Ranch submitted an application for a conditional use permit to
operate as a group residential to house up to eight unrelated children between the ages of six and
twelve. During the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission meetings in February and March 2008,
the application was denied. King’s Ranch appealed the decision to the Jonesboro City Council. At
the City Council meeting in which the issue was considered, residents of the neighborhood in which
the proposed facility was located expressed concerns over the operation of a group home in their
neighborhood. The City Council denied King’s Ranch’s appeal.
After its request for a conditional use permit was denied, King’s Ranch filed suit in the
Circuit Court of Craighead County, Arkansas, arguing that the City Council’s denial of their
conditional use permit was arbitrary and capricious. The circuit court found that there was a rational
basis for the City Council to deny the conditional-use permit, and King’s Ranch appealed its decision
to the Arkansas Supreme Court. The supreme court determined that the circuit court had erred in
applying the rational basis standard of review instead of de novo review, and it reversed and
remanded to the circuit court, where the case is currently pending. King’s Ranch of Jonesboro, Inc.,
v. City of Jonesboro, No. 09-1311, 2011 WL 1177097 (Ark. Mar. 31, 2011).
In addition to the appeal, King’s Ranch also sent a letter dated July 13, 2009, to the City of
Jonesboro, making an official request for reasonable accommodation pursuant to the FHA.
Specifically, King’s Ranch requested that the City of Jonesboro waive its definition of “family” as
it applied to King’s Ranch’s proposed use. On August 7, 2009, King’s Ranch sent another letter to
the City requesting reasonable accommodation. On January 19, 2010, the Jonesboro City Council
acknowledged receipt of the August 7 letter, and City Attorney Phillip Crego provided a report to
the City Council in which he stated that, in his opinion, “the City code is reasonable and will allow
King’s Ranch to do what they want to do, but just not on the scale they are asking for.” (Pl.’s Mot.
for S.J. Ex. 4 at 4-5.) Based in part on his recommendation, the City Council voted to “stand on the
current City code and allow federal court to rule on the issue.” (Id.) King’s Ranch alleges that its
request is reasonable and necessary because the costs involved in maintaining a home and providing
care to children make it economically unfeasible for it to operate as a children’s home unless it can
do so with eight children. The City of Jonesboro disagrees.
A court should enter summary judgment if the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable
to the nonmoving party, demonstrates that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that the
moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c); see also Anderson v.
Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 250, 106 S. Ct. 2505, 2511, 91 L. Ed. 2d 202 (1986); Cheshewalla
v. Rand & Son Constr. Co., 415 F.3d 847, 850 (8th Cir. 2005). The party moving for summary
judgment bears the initial responsibility of demonstrating the absence of a genuine issue of material
fact. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323, 106 S. Ct. 2548, 2553, 91 L. Ed. 2d 265 (1986).
If the moving party carries its burden, the nonmoving party must “come forward with ‘specific facts
showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.’” Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio, 475
U.S. 574, 587, 106 S. Ct. 1348, 1356, 89 L. Ed. 2d 538 (1985) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e))
(emphasis in original). A genuine issue for trial exists only if there is sufficient evidence to allow
a jury to return a verdict for the nonmoving party. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 249, 106 S. Ct. at 2511.
When a nonmoving party cannot make an adequate showing on a necessary element of the case on
which that party bears the burden of proof, the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of
law. Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322, 106 S. Ct. at 2552.
The FHA’s reasonable accommodation provision prohibits “refusal[s] to make reasonable
accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services, when such accommodations may be
necessary to afford such person equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling[.]” 42 U.S.C. §
3604(f)(3)(B). As the Eleventh Circuit has explained,
the duty to make a reasonable accommodation does not simply spring from the fact
that the handicapped person wants such an accommodation made. Defendants must
instead have been given an opportunity to make a final decision with respect to the
Plaintiffs’ request, which necessarily includes the ability to conduct a meaningful
review of the requested accommodation to determine if such an accommodation is
required by law.
Schwarz v. City of Treasure Island, 544 F.3d 1201, 1219 (11th Cir. 2008) (quoting Prindable v.
Ass’n of Apartment Owners, 304 F. Supp. 2d 1245, 1258 (D. Haw. 2003) (citations, quotation marks,
alteration, and ellipsis omitted)). “[P]laintiffs themselves need not be handicapped and are permitted
to argue on behalf of the proposed residents of their home that defendants discriminated against
those residents on the basis of their handicap.” Cohen v. Township of Cheltenham, Penn., 174 F.
Supp. 2d 307, 324 n.12 (E.D. Pa. 2001).
The City of Jonesboro acknowledges that it received two letters from King’s Ranch
requesting accommodation on behalf of handicapped children that King’s Ranch alleged was
reasonable and necessary. The City denies, however, that King’s Ranch is entitled to protection
under the FHA because King’s Ranch is not an organization designed to serve handicapped children.
The City of Jonesboro also argues that there is no evidence that any of the children who would live
at the King’s Ranch facility would be handicapped.
A threshold issue for finding liability under 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(3)(B) is whether the
proposed residents of the group home would be “handicapped.” Congress has defined “handicap”
as “(1) a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person’s
major life activities, (2) a record of having such an impairment, or (3) being regarded as having such
an impairment.” 42 U.S.C. § 3602(h). A “mental impairment” includes “[a]ny mental or
psychological disorder, such as mental retardation, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental
illness, and specific learning disabilities.” 24 C.F.R. § 100.201(a)(1) (2010). “Major life activities”
include, but are not limited to, “functions such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks,
walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working.” 24 C.F.R. § 100.201(b).
King’s Ranch offers affidavit testimony that many of the children currently enrolled in its
program suffer from minor to moderate mental or behavioral disabilities, including Reactive
Attachment Disorder, and that its staff is specifically trained to deal with and has a desire to serve
children with these disabilities. King’s Ranch also provides evidence of one specific child currently
living at the residence who has been diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder, Bipolar
Disorder, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (“ADHD”). According to the affidavit of Dr.
King’s Ranch currently provides a home to a 7 year old female at King’s Ranch who
is diagnosed with [Reactive Attachment Disorder], Bipolar Disorder and ADHD.
She was removed from her biological mother at age one and placed in foster care,
moved to and from several foster homes, and finally adopted at 4 years old. For 3
years in the adoptive family she exhibited severe psychological and social
difficulties, including acting-out in school, inability to make friends, and failing to
attach to her parents. This child is illustrative of the type of youngster that will be
residing in the King’s Ranch children’s home.
(Levy Aff. ¶ 18.) The affidavit also states that these disorders substantially limit the life activities
of children at home, in school, and in other social settings. This undisputed evidence shows that
King’s Ranch will in fact house handicapped children and, thus, is entitled to protection under the
FHA. See Cohen, 174 F. Supp. 2d at 325 (“[P]laintiffs in this case must establish that individual
children who would reside in plaintiffs’ proposed group home would suffer from an impairment that
substantially limits one or more of such children’s major life activities.”) (finding that plaintiffs were
not entitled to FHA protection because they failed to produce evidence that any of their potential
residents would have a physical or mental impairment); Keys Youth Servs., Inc. v. City of Olathe,
Kan., 52 F. Supp. 2d 1284, 1299 and n.16 (D. Kan. 1999) (finding that, although the plaintiff’s home
is not for the handicapped, the plaintiff had provided evidence “that some potential residents meet
the FHA definition of handicapped,” and even though the plaintiff could not know who the specific
residents would be at the facility, “the Court [could] assume[ ] that at any given point, the residence
would include both handicapped and non-handicapped youth and that the mix would vary over
time”), rev’d in part on other grounds, 248 F.3d 1267 (10th Cir. 2001).
The City of Jonesboro next contends that, even if King’s Ranch is entitled to protection under
the FHA, the request for accommodation is neither reasonable nor necessary. Under the FHA,
disabled individuals must be provided reasonable “accommodation in rules, policies, practices, or
services when such accommodation may be necessary to afford [them] equal opportunity to use and
enjoy a dwelling.” Wisconsin Cmty. Servs., Inc. v. City of Milwaukee, 465 F.3d 737, 748 (7th Cir.
2006) (citing 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(3)(B)).
The basic elements of an FHA[ ] accommodation claim are well-settled. First, the
requested accommodation must be reasonable, which, as we have stated, is a “highly
fact-specific inquiry and requires balancing the needs of the parties. An
accommodation is reasonable if it is both efficacious and proportional to the costs to
implement it.” Oconomowoc Residential Programs [v. City of Milwaukee, 300 F.3d
775, 784 (7th Cir. 2002)] (internal citations omitted). In the zoning context, a
municipality may show that a modification to its policy is “unreasonable if it is so at
odds with the purpose behind the rule that it would be a fundamental and
unreasonable change.” Id. (internal quotation marks and citations omitted).
Second, the requested accommodation must be “necessary,” meaning that,
without the accommodation, the plaintiff will be denied an equal opportunity to
obtain the housing of her choice. See id. at 784; see also Giebeler v. M & B Assocs.,
343 F.3d 1143, 1155 (9th Cir.2003); Smith & Lee Assocs., Inc. v. City of Taylor, 102
F.3d 781, 795 (6th Cir.1996). This has been described by courts essentially as a
causation inquiry. See, e.g., Lapid-Laurel, L.L.C. v. Zoning Bd. of Adjustment of Twp.
of Scotch Plains, 284 F.3d 442, 460 (3d Cir.2002) (“This requirement has attributes
of a causation requirement. And if the proposed accommodation provides no direct
amelioration of a disability's effect, it cannot be said to be necessary.” (internal
quotation marks and citations omitted)).
Id. at 749. In the Eighth Circuit, “the plaintiff has the burden to show that the requested
accommodation is reasonable [and necessary] upon its face, i.e., ordinarily or in the run of cases.
Upon such a showing, the [defendant] is left to show special (typical case-specific) circumstances
that demonstrate [unreasonableness or] undue hardship in the particular circumstances.”
Developmental Servs. of NE v. City of Lincoln, 504 F. Supp. 2d 714, 723 (D. Neb. 2007) (quoting
Peebles v. Potter, 354 F.3d 761, 768 (8th Cir. 2004)) (internal quotations omitted)). In other words,
the plaintiff must show that the requested accommodation is necessary to afford equal opportunity
to handicapped individuals and possible to implement. Huberty v. Washington Cnty. Housing &
Redevelopment Auth., 374 F. Supp. 2d 768, 773 (D. Minn. 2005).
The Vice President of the Board of Directors for King’s Ranch says in an affidavit that the
request to house eight children at a time is necessary because
King’s Ranch relies completely upon donations. Most donors or donor families who
support our ministry sponsor an individual child living at King’s Ranch. Thus,
King’s Ranch’s financial support is based upon or directly tied to the number of
children King’s Ranch provides assistance to.
14. If King’s Ranch is not permitted to use the property in the manner intended—to
house eight children and two houseparents—King’s Ranch will be unable to maintain
the expenses related to operating the home.
(Cooper Aff. ¶¶ 13-14.); see Developmental Servs. of NE, 504 F. Supp. 2d at 724 (finding that
plaintiff had met its burden of showing the accommodation to be reasonable and necessary based in
part on evidence presented at trial that, if the accommodation is not granted, the plaintiff may be
financially unable to continue providing services). The City of Jonesboro does not rebut this
evidence with any evidence of its own to suggest that King’s Ranch feasibly could house fewer than
King’s Ranch also alleges that its request is reasonable because it will impose no additional
expense or undue burden on the City of Jonesboro, nor would it “fundamentally alter the singlefamily character of the neighborhood.” (Pl.’s Mot. for S.J. Ex. 2.) Through affidavit testimony,
King’s Ranch contends that the addition of several children to the property would not impact
parking, traffic, noise, utility uses, or any other concerns of zoning differently than an ordinary
“family” of the same size. It points out that the City already allows conditional use permits for group
residentials, which typically include fraternities and sororities, dormitories, residence halls, and
boarding or lodging houses—entities which would affect the character of the neighborhood in a
much more significant manner than a ten-person children’s home. In fact, the staff report proffered
by Otis T. Spriggs, Planning Director for the City of Jonesboro, which was provided to the
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission, states that “[s]taff does not feel that the ranch-like
environment will be a detriment to the surrounding neighborhoods if the use is operated under an
around-the-clock supervised program for the youth. . . . The . . . home to be used will remain
residential in character and use, and a [sic] extreme demand for traffic has not been demonstrated
by the applicant to cause negative impact beyond that expected of a single family residence.” (Def.’s
Mot. for S.J. Ex. C at 9.)
King’s Ranch has met its burden of proving the necessity and reasonableness of its request
with unrebutted evidence, and the burden shifts to the City of Jonesboro to prove that the request is
unreasonable. In order to “establish that the accommodation proffered by [the applicant] was not
reasonable, [the municipality] [i]s required to prove that it could not have granted the variance
without:” (1) “imposing undue financial and administrative burdens;” (2) “imposing an ‘undue
hardship’ upon the Township;” or (3) “requiring a fundamental alteration in the nature of the
[zoning] program.” Hovsons, Inc. v. Township of Brick, 89 F.3d 1096, 1104 (3d Cir. 1996) (internal
citations and quotation marks omitted); see also Developmental Servs. of NE, 504 F. Supp. 2d at
724-25. This inquiry is “highly fact-specific, requiring a case-by-case determination.” Hovsons,
Inc., 89 F.3d at 1104.
Although the City of Jonesboro argues that King’s Ranch’s waiver request is unreasonable,
it offers no evidence that granting the request would impose an undue financial or administrative
burden on the City of Jonesboro or result in any undue hardship. Nor does the City of Jonesboro
offer evidence that the request would require a fundamental change in the nature of the zoning
program. In fact, as King’s Ranch points out, the zoning program is designed with requests like that
of King’s Ranch in mind; the City of Jonesboro currently offers conditional use permits to groups
like King’s Ranch, which are comprised of more than five unrelated individuals, to live in
residentially zoned areas. The City of Jonesboro presents absolutely no evidence to suggest that
King’s Ranch’s waiver request is unreasonable. Nor does it seek to postpone the Court’s ruling on
the motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d). With trial just a few weeks away, the City
has had ample time to discover and offer evidence to support its arguments, and it has not done so.
For the reasons stated above, the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED,
and the defendant’s motion for summary judgment is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 25th day of April, 2011.
