The Michigan Division on Deaf and Hard of Hearing last month finally released their proposed rules and regulations for the PA 204 Act, or known as the Deaf Persons' Interpreters Act.
Unfortunately, many K-12 interpreters are opposing the proposed rules and regulations because they will be required to obtain a 4.0 (Advanced Intermediate) on the EIPA test, which I fully support. We need interpreters who sign and voice well, and I'm very disappointed with these interpreters who oppose the EIPA standard. The EIPA standard of 4.0 should stay! The Michigan Deaf Community should inform DODHH and the interpreters that the EIPA 4.0 needs to remain.
With that in mind, I have copied and pasted my public comment that I submitted to DODHH on March 8, 2013, listing my concerns with these proposed rules and regulations. There is far more to this than just the EIPA matter, and these issues deserve just as much attention as the EIPA. And these concerns are shared by many, hence the fierce backlash from many interpreters, unfortunately. (Here's my DODHH Public Comment_redacted in PDF format, if you don't want to read the copy and paste below).
Dear Director Emery:
My name is Jeannette K. Johnson and I am a Deaf Michigan citizen who's proficient in American Sign Language. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Administration from Grand Valley State University and this document is my public comment on the PA 204 2007 amendments' proposed rules and regulations, pursuant to the PA 206 Michigan Administrative Procedures Act. As a consumer of interpreters for the deaf, while I overall support the PA 204 amendments, I have numerous concerns with the rules and regulations. They are the following:
Issue One:
Under the definitions section (R 393.5003 Definitions) it states the following:
- (x) "Quality assurance certification" or "QA" means an interpreter certificate granted under the division's quality assurance certification interpreter testing system, which will phase out.
- (s) "Michigan BEI" or "MI-BEI" means the Michigan board for evaluation of interpreters test which this state leases from the state of Texas to evaluate interpreters in this state.
The definition of the Quality assurance certification, especially the portion about being phased out, seems to conflict with the PA 204 law, since it does not give any provisions for the QA certification to be phased out or even be replaced. A direct quote from the PA 204 regarding this matter:
393.508d Possession of Michigan quality assurance certification; expiration; renewal.
Sec. 8d. Any person possessing a Michigan quality assurance certification at the level of I, II, or III, on the effective date of the amendatory act that added this section, shall be considered a qualified interpreter for purposes of this act until that certification status expires.
Thus, resolution is needed. Furthermore, it should be noted that the Division has already phased out the QA prior to the promulgation of these rules, without any input from the public and stakeholders. A comprehensive investigation should be held and corrective action should be taken against these individuals whom (whether they're still employed by the State or not) are responsible for this egregious conduct, and the QA reinstated with input from stakeholders.
Issue Two:
The definition of the MI-BEI makes it explicit that it is leased from the State of Texas. However, in the PA 204 law, it does not make provisions for the State to use or recognize another State's interpreting certification as its own. The PA 204 law appears to give the Division authority to recognize Michigan and national certifications only – not other states. Therefore, all mentions of the MI-BEI should be stricken, and all mentions of the QA being phased out should be stricken as well.
Issue Three:
Under the R 393.5021, it states the following:
- (b) A certification from another state which has a reciprocal agreement with this state.
Again, the PA 204 law does not appear to give the Division authority to have a reciprocal agreement with another state. Furthermore, in my opinion, this is akin to Michigan having a reciprocal agreement with Texas for attorneys' bar exams and licensure, which does not happen for a good reason. Each state is different, thus their certification and its procedures must reflect such reality. Therefore, I believe the Division is evading its duty in this matter, and R 393.5021 (b) should be stricken.
Issue Four:
Under the R 393.5032, it discusses the matter of reciprocity and states the following:
An applicant for certification by reciprocity shall do all of the following: …
(c) Hold a current, valid license or certificate in good standing to practice interpreting in a state with which this state has a reciprocal agreement.
(d) Have no report of disciplinary action pending in another state, …
The same issue arises as in Issue Three. The PA 204 law does not appear to give the Division authority to recognize other states' certifications – only its own and national certifications. Thus the R 393.5032 in its entirety needs significant editing, (c) needs to be stricken and (d) needs to be edited.
Issue Five:
Under R 393.5022, it states the following:
- (c) Endorsements are required to interpret for a proceeding involving a deaf-blind person, medical, and legal situations. Endorsement requirements shall be required 2 years from the effective date of these rules.
Endorsements are not defined in the Definitions section. Who provides the endorsements, and how will it be provided? This needs to be defined and clarified then R 393.5022 and R 393.5028 edited to accurately reflect the endorsements definition.
Issue Six:
The matter of R 393.5054, covers the matter of the interpreter practicum experience.
I do not believe that the student interpreter practicum should be regulated by the Division. Rather, I believe that student practicums should be regulated and monitored by the Michigan Department of Education. Thus, R 393.5054 should be stricken. If not stricken, then have the supervising interpreter hold either a state or national certification, and a minimum of a Bachelor's degree along with a year of professional interpreting experience.
Issue Seven:
Under the R 393.5026, it states the following:
- (3) Interpreters meeting the certification requirements of subrule (1) of this rule may interpret for a proceeding for children and youth only in the following settings, if effective communication is achieved: ….
I believe this exceeds the Division's authority and should be instead regulated and monitored by the Michigan Department of Education. Thus, R 393.5026 (3) and its subsections should be stricken.
Issue Eight:
Under the R 393.5058, it states the following:
- (4) A written waiver shall be initiated only by a D/DB/HH person and retained by the appointing authority with a copy sent to the division. ….
- (5) All waivers must be completed on a division created waiver form.
This rule makes it clear that only a Deaf, Deaf-Blind or a Hard of Hearing person can fill out the waiver (which I'm fine with). However, is there a reason for the (5) regulation? Why cannot a D/DB/HH adult create their own waiver? These rules and regulations should only regulate interpreters, not us D/DB/HH. I believe this exceeds the Division's authority, thus R 393.5058 (5) should be stricken.
Issue Nine:
I believe that the R 393.5094 conflicts with the PA 204 law, since the PA 204 law already outlines fees and does not give provisions for the Division to impose additional fees. Therefore, I believe that R 393.5094 should be entirely stricken.
Issue Ten:
Under the R 393.5052, it states the following:
- (1) … NAD-RID "Code of Professional Conduct," effective July 1, 2005 is adopted by reference. …
I recommend changing that line to: "Interpreters shall follow the most recent official version of the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct."
Issue Eleven:
The R 393.5023, R 393.5024 and R 393.5025 discuss the minimum for each level. I have many, many concerns with these rules. I do not see how it is possible for anyone, deaf or hearing, to remember these extraordinarily nuanced restrictions for each level. This reeks of micromanagement. Furthermore, interpreters must be allowed to exercise their own independent judgment, so there should be a provision somewhere in this section regarding that. (It also should be noted that even in Texas these restrictions are only recommended, not codified). Instead, I would have the following in the respective section of the rules and regulations (phased in within 6 years of these rules and regulations taking effect):
- A Level I interpreter must hold a minimum of an Associate's degree from an accredited institution and interpret at the most, in non-complex, low risk environments. They may interpret in moderate and high risk environments only if partnering with a Level II, III or national certified interpreter, respectively.
- A Level II interpreter must hold a minimum of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and interpret, at the most, in moderately complex environments such as government; employment; or finance. They may interpret in a high risk environment if partnering with a Level III or national certified interpreter or if they have obtained legal/medical interpreting endorsements from the State or NAD-RID.
- A Level III interpreter must hold a minimum of a Master's degree from an accredited institution, may interpret in all environments, including high risk environments such as medical or legal situations.
- Nationally certified interpreters, with prudent judgment and compliance with the most recent, official version of the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct, may interpret in any environment.
I would also add definitions of low, moderate and high risk environments in the Definitions section (R 393.5003).
Issue Twelve:
I question whether R 393.5026 (3) and its subsections fall under the authority and scope of the Division. I believe that rather, these detailed regulations on what educational interpreters may and may not interpret, falls under the domain of the Michigan Department of Education.
Issue Thirteen:
In the Part 4. Procedures for Testing section, I strongly feel that there should be a regulation stating that the Division shall establish a permanent QA committee that will be composed of, at the minimum, interpreter trainers and Deaf individuals who are fluent in both ASL and English, to monitor and review the QA certification process. This will ensure that the stakeholders are included in the process on an equitable basis. In the best case scenario, a NCCA* expert should be on the QA committee as well, or at the least, be a consultant with the DODHH and its QA committee.
*National Commission for Certifying Agencies.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

I was cleaning the natural gas furnace ducts and then the cold air side... found several yards of wax paper in the cold air returns and am mystified. I know this is an old house (circa 1930 build), but have to ask... did someone use the cold air return for a trash can or is there any reason they would have put wax paper in the cold air return? The house is MUCH better with air quality now that the spider webs and dust/dirt is gone. Maybe there was some old school reason for the wax paper-to keep dust down? | |||
there is no good reason, it's a firetrap feature. it is borderline possible that somebody was trying to coax more heat from an "octopus" furnace in dire circumstances way back when, and didn't know that to get air into a room, you have to get air out of it as well. enjoy your cleaner air! sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
Firetrap? Even on the cold air return line? Ahh either way it is gone and Thanks for the reply-wax paper in the return made NO sense to me either. | ||||
Maybe someone wanted to check for airflow using wax paper, and it got sucked into the return duct. I can't see any reason for putting it in there intentionally either. | ||||
Thats an interesting find... Ann Contorno Coach/Real Estate Investor www.blighttobrightcoaching.com | ||||

I have created a PDF document that contains the necessary embedded fonts (as shown by the document properties, below). However, when I attempt to upload the document, Lulu reports that the fonts are not embedded. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
Yeah, I had the same problem. But then I uploaded a .doc version and it went through fine. I would try that if Word is your main processor anyway
In your screen capture Courier doesn't show as embedded.
If you're using MS Word try changing that font to Courier New
Thank you, all, for your replies.
I had attempted to upload a Word document (having ensured that font embedding was enabled) but without success.
However, having switched to using doPDF (rather than Nitro PDF Creator) to produce my PDF file, it uploaded without problems.
What is odd is that Nitro PDF did embed the fonts (as shown by the earlier screenshot) so it should have worked. (I appreciate that Courier wasn't embedded, but Lulu was reporting that the other fonts were missing too).
In fact, looking at the properties for the doPDF document, I'd have thought it much more likely that this would have failed (there are no font names for starters!)
I know of TWO possible sources of error.
One is that certain Fonts have restricted Embedding Permissions, depending on what the Author allows. This has forced me not to use certain Fonts, which I purchased, sadly, for that specific purpose.
But the other source is inside Adobe Distiller.
Using Lulu's Settings, available as a Download from the website usually sorts this out for the text, but if it's feeling grouchy Distiller will still try to mess you about on your Covers, and then you have to chase it down step by step through its Properties, and through its Printer's Properties.
Distiller KNOWS the Page Size/Fonts/Colour Pallet you are using, but often asks YOU what it is, or offers an incorrect default hidden deep in its Preferences. Get it wrong, and not Embedding the Fonts is its usual punishment.
It has less to do with the Fonts, than the Page Size from my experience! And just because you told it the correct Page Size in one place, don't expect Distiller to tell its Printer the correct size, YOU have to!
YOU have to ensure everything matches or Distiller will get it wrong.
The last time Distiller decided to mess me up, {Just Last Month} it refused to Embedd the Fonts no matter what I tried. I could not find the fault. Eventually I had to Export my entire cover as a single .png image, and paste that on to a Page of the correct size, and .pdf that.
I wasn't sure it would work, but it did.
If all else fails, try that, and if my memory is not at fault Lulu accepts .png files of the right size for your cover, you may not even need to .pdf it.

Deal for Bills' Fred Jackson on the horizon?
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 6 2012 2:27PM
With all the key dates for NFL off-season activity now in the rearview mirror, the Buffalo Bills and the rest of the league have some time to breathe between now and the start of training camp.
Each team has their individual hurdles to climb. For instance, New Orleans is trying to close in on signing quarterback Drew Brees, Pittsburgh is attempting to get Mike Wallace to end their present stalemate, while the same goes for Matt Forte in Chicago and Ray Rice in Baltimore.
But for the Bills, their newest top priority isn't someone who is without a contract. As outlined in the
"So what's next for the Bills?"
column I wrote on Friday, the first order of business is to extend top running back Fred Jackson for the long-term.
Buddy Nix has said in the past that he will take care of Jackson, and both the player and his agent have said publicly that they trust that Nix is a man of his word. It seems the last thing the Bills would want to do is to keep Jackson waiting and wondering, especially with OTAs and mini-camps approaching quickly.
When reached over the weekend for an answer to the question, "Has there been any progress between you and the Bills," Jackson's agent Ron Raccuia responded quickly and succinctly:
"Check back with me in a couple of days."
In my experiences with various agents, the less that is said and the less you hear is usually indicative that something strong is brewing. Raccuia's lack of comment could be perceived as a hint that a deal between the Bills and Jackson is very, very close.
Or, he could just be protecting the negotiations between the team and his client -- which is also common for sensitive manners like this one. It's certainly open for interpretation.
It's no sure thing at this point in time based on a brief exchange and a few words from Raccuia, but just from my perspective and past dealings with people around the league, I wouldn't be surprised if a new deal for Jackson is announced sooner rather than later.

REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Thursday the signings of three players — two of whom had stints with the CFL team late last season.
Non-import linebacker Aaron Crawford and import linebacker Brian Peters — both of whom spent time on the Roughriders' practice roster in 2012 — and import defensive back Terrell Skinner inked pacts with Saskatchewan. Details of the contracts weren't released.
Crawford, a former member of the PFC's Regina Thunder, is a 6-foot-4, 260-pound product of Medicine Hat who played in the CIS with the Saint Mary's Huskies.
The 26-year-old was selected by the Toronto Argonauts in the sixth round (40th overall) of the 2012 CFL draft but was released by the Argos. Crawford joined the Roughriders' expanded practice roster on Oct. 3 and was released Nov. 1.
Peters, 23, originally signed with the Roughriders on Oct. 16 and spent two weeks on their expanded practice roster before being released Nov. 1.
The 6-foot-3, 218-pound product of Pickerington, Ohio played collegiately at Northwestern. In four seasons with the Wildcats, Peters accumulated a school-record 301 tackles as well as 12 interceptions, six forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries.
Skinner, a 25-year-old from St. Petersburg, Fla., was a two-year starter in college at Maryland. The 6-foot-2, 212-pounder had 67 tackles as a senior and earned an invitation to the 2010 Senior Bowl.
He subsequently had NFL stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Indianapolis Colts.

I am making twice baked potato casserole. (A recipe I cut in half) Used all the good stuff fat free sour cream, and all that.
After I mixed it all together in the casserole dish all I could think was, "How in the heck are those potatoes gonna be soft enough to eat in 20 minutes?" I cut, cubed and threw in the casserole dish. Twenty minutes just didn't sound right. I kept going back to the recipe to read once again. Sure enough, twenty minutes.
Know what it helps if you do first?
Talk about a brain fart. Mine went missing, that is for sure.
May I say you have one pretty-disgusted-with-herself-cook here right now.
I have made them before. Looked at the recipe to make sure of the amount for each ingredient because I was cutting them in half. Probably didn't really need to look considering it is such an easy recipe and you can pretty much put in what you want. You know, like a "BAKED POTATO".
I have now turned the oven down to try to figure out what to do. The casserole has been in the oven for 30 minutes, the potatoes, tho cubed, are still kinda, well, a lot, hard. Cheese everywhere. Which is probably gonna burn.
Has anyone else made a mistake like that before? I have.
I hate it when I do something STUPID like that, Especially to comfort food.
Oh, Eric Clapton on the radio right now might make up for it a teensy bit.
The song.

Melancholia is a realistic "what-if" science fiction, set in roughly the time we live in. The whole plot is centered around the concept of this planet approaching. Being what it is, why would they choose to ignore the effects of gravity as the planet approaches?
The moon is a relatively small satellite and is quite far from the Earth, and consider how it influences the tides with the gravity. Now think of a whole big planet that gets increasingly close until it touches Earth and then the movie ends.
In truth if you stop to really consider the effect that would have, it would probably have freed up a whole lot of Earth's mass on the side it was approaching, such that the surface of our planet and much more beneath would have been ejected from the atmosphere, drawn to the approaching planet. Or in the very least, gravity would have been lightened greatly.
But why wouldn't they explore even a grand finale where the characters at least are ejected? I found it terribly unrealistic. Was it a choice of saving on special effects? Didn't the people involved in production even consider the physics of it? Are there interviews done with them surrounding this issue? Or is it a non-issue as far as entertainment is concerned (i.e. it's not relevant in this movie/genre)?

A raunchy 40-minute phone call between accused murderer Jodi Arias and her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander that was filled with references to rape, porn, and Alexander's crude fantasies showed the twisted relationship the pair had before Arias killed him.
Arias, 32, shrank on the stand, shrouding herself behind her hands and her thick hair as her voice on the recording could be heard moaning and her mother and sister listened from the front row of the court room gallery.

Heat the cream in a small saucepan until simmering, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit for one minute then whisk until smooth. If the chocolate is not completely melted, place bowl over a double boiler. Add the butter and Bailey's and stir until combined. Set aside and cool until thick enough to be piped.Meanwhile, cut out a portion from the center of each cupcake.Pipe ganache into cupcakes.FOR FROSTING: Put the stick of room-temperature butter in a large mixing bowl and beat at medium-to-high speed for a few minutes. Add a few short glugs (4-8 Tbsps) of Bailey's and and tiny bit of Jameson (to taste) and mix at a low speed. Gradually spoon the confectioner's sugar into the bowl, mixing on low speed. Frost the cupcakes as desired or use a piping bag to decorate.

Hello All,
Since we're all playing the waiting game and some other interest groups seem to have threads, I thought I'd see if there are any other JETs that share my favorite hobby: baking! I personally work on-call at a little pie bakery and also like to experiment at home. I would love to see what anyone else has to say about baking in Japan. I hear ovens can be hard to come by... Also, are there any Japanese baked goods that you want to try to make while you're there? Also, homemade baked goods (from my experience) make you pretty popular with neighbors and students alike. Are there any baked goods you would want to bring to class? Any fun ideas?
Bonus Question: What's your favorite thing to bake? Mine is either a pumpkin amaretto cheesecake or spiced pear crumble pie!

Evening folks. So i'm thinking before I ring the site warden I best have a rough estimate of numbers.
8 People have responded to this thread and I will be bringing 1 or 2 friends and pignut will be bringing 2 or 3 so that's a maximum of 13 thus far.
Any advance on that?
(Can I see a 13 at the back? Yes you sir in the blue any advance on 13?)
I've got a +1 (maybe)
cheers, steve.

I went there probs about 13-12 years ago (back in the day) I can remember doing shelter building exercises and seeing the instructor give up lighting a fire a whip out a lighter to still have no luck and I'm pretty sure I also woke up to a water logged tent.
Right folks. Sorry I havn't contacted the warden yet (Been busy and then went camping in the Peak District found out that my gortex boots are usless and my bivi needs a very libral coat of a nixwax type product). I'll call tomorrow and then we can dicusss our options.
Well I called the Sudbrook site warden and she told me that the site is purely for youth groups. So back to square one

Well if anyone has the phone numbers of other sites or knows for sure where we can find land that would be brilliant.
I remember staying here when I was in the cadets a fair few years ago. If this is ok for people I'll call tomorrow, see what they say?
cheers, steve.
Good for me

The Volvo Ocean Race entrants have left Lisbon on their way to the French city of Lorient. At 1,940 nautical miles it is one of the shorter legs of the race, but with areas of potential light winds that could hamper progress. These types of conditions are just one of many that the boats have to undertake during each leg, and for which the craft's designers and builders must account.
Some of the conditions the Azzam must be built to face
For Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing's Azzam, design team Farr Yacht Design was given the task of creating a vessel that could withstand the pummel of Southern Ocean waves and wind, to the doldrums across the Equator, and everything in between. The design team must adhere to strict guidelines issued by Volvo Ocean Race: macro considerations like boat dimensions and hull thickness, to the more detailed rules on bunk size for the crew. None of these considerations can be taken lightly – both the craft and crew must withstand harrowing and tiring conditions during the nine months of the Race. This was seen acutely when the Azzam experienced hull damage during Leg 5. This damage was mitigated by at-sea repairs – made possible by ingenuity in the boat's design.
One of the many steps in getting Azzam built
Once the design for Azzam was complete it was handed off to the ship's builders, in this case at the Persico boatyard in Nembro, Italy. Here the build team constructed the mould, focusing on any measure that could save overall weight.
The on-shore build team for Azzam
Teamwork between the designers and builders is also crucial to the success of the finished product. To that end Persico collaborated with the Farr design team on ways to modify the construction to improve performance and function of the boat. One way they achieved this was by using a Kevlar honeycomb on the foredeck, which sheds water and keeps the deck safer and without additional weight.
She's getting there… Azzam at the Persico boatyard
In the end the Farr Yacht Design team dedicated over 26,000 hours in the planning, calculating, and engineering of Azzam. That innovation combined with the exacting precision shown by the Persico build team are traits we value highly at IWC. Always searching to improve, and always ensuring we are creating the very best.
The striking colors that will be slicing through the ocean
A salute to both teams and to the crew who have stewarded Azzam around the globe and kept her going strong.

Recently in the year 2011 2 fundamental experimental results brought a revolution in physics.
The 1st experimental result was the observation by the scientist S.McGaugh that the baryonic Tully-Fisher's law was valid. This law was that the baryonic mass of a galaxy was proportional to the 4th power of the velocity of the stars of this galaxy. It is generally admitted that this contradicts General Relativity because according to those observations the velocity of stars in a galaxy is independent of the hypothetic dark mass. Those observations are presented on the website of open archives arXiv.
The second experimental result was the famous OPERA's experiment, also exposed on the website arXiv. According to those observations, the velocity of neutrinos is superior to the velocity of the light c. This contradicts special Relativity.
So those 2 experimental observations make necessary a completely new conception of physics.
We find this new conception in a modern Theory of Ether, that is an alternative theory to the Relativity Theory. According to this new theory, we can interpret the whole of experiments connected to Relativity, introducing a contraction of time and lengths. This theory of Ether appears to be confirmed by those 2 new fundamental experimental observations, and we exposed the interpretation of those experimental results in 2 articles, the 1st is title: Derivation of the Tully-Fisher's law from a theory of Ether (author : Thierry Delort), the 2nd is :title: Interpretation of the Opera's experiment by a Theory of Ether, author: Thierry Delort. Both those articles are available on the server of open archives Hal.
The basic idea in order to interpret Opera's experiment is that according to the modern Theory of Ether, there is no theoretical limit to the velocity of the transmission of an information.
The basic idea in order to interpret the Tully-Fisher's law is that dark matter is constituted of ether, that can be modeled as an ideal gas.
The complete modern Theory of Ether is exposed in English in 5 articles published in the review Physics Essays (available on the website on Physics Essays , author: Thierry Delort).But those articles need to be modified and improved, the main needed modifications being exposed in the article title: Theory of ether:Erratum author: Thierry Delort, available in the site of open archives Hal.
The modern Theory of ether is also exposed in French on the site of open archives Internet archive, (title: Théorie de l'Ether-Théorie Quantique des variables absolues, author:Thierry Delort which contains new and improved versions of the 5 articles published in Physics essays. They are also exposed with a detailed presentation, especially useful for non specialists, in the book Théories d'or (see references of the articles on the server Hal, or www.theoriesdor.com ).

Pit Bull Bills Appear Headed in Different Directions
Bills to overturn a Maryland Court of Appeals decision on dog bites will get a vote in both houses, but those bills may not have enough common ground to pass as law.
The fate of the pit bull legislation before the Maryland General Assembly remains uncertain as bills in the House and Senate appear headed in different directions.
The split is over strict liability for dog owners. The bill passed by the Senate Friday night in a 41-1 vote includes strict liability with a few carved out exceptions for things like provocation and trespassing.
Just down the street the House Judiciary Committee spent the better part of the afternoon with four different bills that would—at least in part—return owner liability to common law standards.
Sen. Joseph Getty, a Republican who represents Carroll County and northern Baltimore County, was the lone vote against the Senate bill.
"[Strict liability] sets a very high standard that is improper," said Getty, following the Friday vote, adding that the bill as passed "shifts the burden to dog owners to prove they have a defense.
"It all means insurance rates will go up under strict liability," he said.
Getty said the future of the Senate bill as well as four other pit bull related bills is less certain in the House.
"That bill is going to take a different path," said Getty, speaking of the House debate and vote scheduled for Monday.
That path was articulated by Del. Luiz Simmons, a Montgomery County Democrat, who repeatedly voiced his concern that insurance companies would jack up the rates for all dog owners if strict liability passed.
"Shouldn't owners be responsible when he or she was negligent, not when he or she is not negligent," Simmons said. "Why would you equate the negligent owner with the non-negligent owner?"
Simmons likened liability to car accidents, which also can have tragic outcomes. He said if strict liability was given to any person injured in an automobile accident "the structure would collapse."
Del. Benjamin Kramer railed against anyone who offered the strict liability laws present in more than 35 other states as an argument for why Maryland should follow suit. The Montgomery County Democrat argued that each of the 35 with strict liability implement it differently, and the compressed timeline of the special session didn't allow for a nuanced debate on the issue.
He offered two bills for consideration. One would allow for strict liability to be applied only in certain instances that resulted in severe injury or death. The other Kramer bill would simply roll the clock back to common law liability as it stood on Jan. 1, 2012.
Even with an extended timeline Kramer seemed staunchly in the no category on strict liability for owners.
"Do you think the insurance companies are just going to sit back and not respond to this kind of sea change?" Krammer asked. "Folks like me, who are sure to be on that no coverage list, are going to be in the situation where we lose our homeowners insurance or we lose our pet."
If the House Judiciary Committee votes out a bill on Monday without strict liability, the two chambers could attempt to come together in a conference committee. But Democratic Sen. Brian Frosh, who sponsored the Senate bill, said that seems unlikely.
"This is the best we could do. So, we thought OK, we will give it a shot to get it done in this truncated environment," Frosh said. "If it gets real twisted and complex, I think it will probably unravel because nobody is planning to spend next week here."
Political Reporter Bryan P. Sears contributed to this article.

The negligent vs. non-negligent argument provides a loophole for dog owners to wriggle out of responsibility for serious harm and death, especially if they can afford a good lawyer and the injured party cannot. Since owning a dog is a purely voluntary decision, except in the case of service animals, strict liability is the logical choice.
Christopher Kidwell
5:37 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
Jerry, the bottom line is that if you approach an animal, you are taking the risk that you might get bit. Also, many times when animals are 'vicious', they are picking up on cues given out by the person in question that they are frightened of the animals (fright = harm usually in the wild) or are going to be aggressive towards the animals.
It's extremely rare that it's a baby who was not born in the home who has a pitbull approach them and is savaged 'out of the blue'.
Steve J.
11:42 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
We don't have strict liability for other types of voluntary activities, such as driving. Anyone who has a case that promises to settle for enough to cover the lawyer's costs and the medical bills will have a lawyer.

Has everyone heard of the KISS rule? Lets just keep it nice and simple people. If you are the owner of any dog, regardless of breed, and that dog bites or harms someone, then you are responsible.
The only exception I think there should be is in the case of home trespassing. If someone comes onto your property and gets bitten then they made the choice therefore if anything happens to them then they are responsible for their own actions.

Removing the dog from the equation is the simplest action. No pit bull, no bite, no law suit. Of course that just leaves the Rottweilers, Dobermans, German shepherds, and all the other big biters.
Christopher Kidwell
5:35 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
Actually, Michael....... small breeds are known to have multiple times, rounded up, the number of bites.
Basically, those 'big biters' are no such thing, it's a load of bullplop.
Spring Heeled Jack
5:10 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Yeah, most dog bites are from the mid to smaller breeds. Pitt bulls being the biggest of the mid sized dogs.
If I am not mistaken I believe I saw on one of those dog shows on Animal Planet that Pit Bulls are responsible for 51% of all fatal dog attacks. Rottweilers are responsible for 23% of all fatal attacks. The rest of all other breeds of dogs accounted for 26%.

Just hold the owner of the pet liable. It seems silly to hold the property owner responsible when he/she is only charging for the use of the property. If someone gets bit they can sue the pet owner (via their renters insurance or working out payments through the court). To rent a property you need to be an adult and adults are generally held liable for members of their household, including their pets (when was the last time you heard of a landlord paying to feed a tenants pets or even children for that matter). Therefore the law should have the liability rest on the tenant because ownership and responsibility rests with the tenant not the landlord (the landlord is responsible for the building and property not for the pet that was not provided to the tenant by the landlord).
Maureen of Maryland Hypnosis
5:17 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
Yes, "Baltimore Matt" is right on track: We are responsible for anything our children --or pets--do. The judge was way out of line in creating a law. Her job was just to interpret the law. Instead, her decision caused us a lot of money as well as controversy in untangling the nuances.

Hey Sears,
I am in charge of mis spelling or as you so well put it gramattical gaffe. Can you get me on a radio ho where I can take questions. I would love to be able to anwser some of this stuff without the disbility of my gramttical and spelling dyslexia issues. I think Matt K is wrong and Maureen but I can't write well enogh to say Matt a neighborhood is a kids domain a dog is property secure it even on your own property you must secure your guns. A dog is autnomous danger so the standard of securing it is higher not lower. Maureen this case has seen no less then 17 judges and the entire court of uninformed opinion.
Baltimore Matt
11:26 am on Monday, August 13, 2012
What does this have to do with whether or not the liability for a tenant's pet falls on landlords? We are just asking that adults be liable for their own households.
These heads of households need to be liable for their children as well...many adults in Baltimore lack this idea. I have 3 households on my block full of little ghetto children that run the streets at all hours, litter everywhere, and damage other resident's property and the parents are extremely defensive of their children when the anyone brings to their attention their beloved children's behavior. I remember once they were playing on top on cars and when a neighbor complained to the parents that their children scratched her new car, the parents replies, not that they are sorry, not that it will not happen again, but replied "that is what your insurance is for"
My point is that adults need to be the responsible party, not the dog, children, or anything else. And if you own a dog and rent a place you either need to be in a position to pay for damages or have homeowners or renters insurance that pays liability (for god sakes you can get a renter's policy for less than $150 per year)
8:22 am on Monday, August 13, 2012
Pit bulls are nasty, nasty animals... Get rid of them
6:17 pm on Wednesday, August 15, 2012
Brook, they're called prostitutes. Tell your mom to stop hanging out on my street.
12:15 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
I think it will be very hard to get a renter to pay damages if a dog bites a neighbor. Most renters don't carry any insurance or have little assets to collect damages from. I think a landlord has to have some responsibility since he is renting his property to a person that has a dog. The landlord should require the renter to have renter's insurance or the landlord should take a policy out that would cover a dog biting a person. Include the costs of the renter's policy in the cost of rent.
Brook Hubbard
12:34 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
If it applies to all dogs (or even pet owners) this might be the best form of legislation. If the landlord does not want liability then they would require the renter to have insurance; if the renter cannot (or will not) purchase insurance, then the landlord can simply not rent to them.
Again, though, this needs to be broad legislation... not breed-specific. That way people are not being unfairly targeted based on misinformation, misunderstanding, and the occasional outright lies.
Baltimore Matt
12:42 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Parkville Honey, if you can sign a lease (entering into a legal contract) then you can be an adult about pet ownership. It may be hard for the tenants to pay but that doesn't mean that the landlord should be liable for the pet; that just feels like the courts are say "someone" has to pay and since the landlord has the means to pay and the tenant does not, that we will make the landlord pay for damages. Do you realize the can of worms this opens? Will landlords have to pay for the damages caused to their neighbors due to their tenant's or their tenant's children? I can see the classified ads now "we will not rent to people without $100,000 in savings or $100,000 in liability insurance." This essentially says that the tenant due to their financial situation cannot be held liable for anything and if there is any harm we should simply sue their landlords. This will make it hard for landlords to get insurance and will surely raise the landlords cost which will in-turn raise rents
It comes down to this, you don't want this liability; don't choose to have a dog in your household.
That's like if you got into a car accident and the wealthier of the driver became legally liable for all damages because of their ability to pay.
It's time for people to take personal responsibility for the actions of those in their household (human or not).

Baltimore Matt, I agree with every word you say. The problem is some people will not take responsibilty for their actions. That said, I believe a renter's insurance requirement will go a long way in solving the liability costs for a dog bite. How many people would have car insurance, if it wasn't a requirment? I don't like government intrusion, but in this case, it is needed.

So what happens if someone with no assets and no equity has a dog and it bites someone? Who do you sue then?
Baltimore Matt
4:35 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Able Baker...haven't you ever heard of the phrase that you can't bleed a turnip. When someone has no assetts, no insurance, and nothing to sue for you can't bleed them for anything. Just because you can't bleed a tenant, it does not make is right to bleed the party that is simply exchanging temporary use of their property for money. Many landlords are not rich, especially since the housing market has tanked and has made it harder to come out even when selling the home that they themselves were living in. Many small landlords are renting out a property at cost, to pay for the mortgage interest, taxes, and upkeep. All you are going to do is bankrupt the party that does not have the day-to-day control of the pet. Is that ethical?
Furthermore, if the landlord is held responible for the pet under law, it means that the company that holds the renters policy will simply sue the landlord (in effect his/her homeowners policy) to recoup losses and the landlord will still have to pay for damages, whether in the form of direct payment or higher insurance premiums.

Parkville Honey, You got it, It is the same as with the bank the bank owns the house not you. They require you to have insurance to protect the asset. Once you own it if you wish toi drop your insurance then at least their is a asset to go after if your dog almost kills a kid. Landlords are the business owner of the property and should require ot carry insurance then everybody is equally yoked. In reality a renter could sue you ( your insurer and you can't sue them) Bit the landlord who has enabled and fostered this inequity is somehow a victim if they run there realestate business different then 70 % of all Marylanders who own houses. And guess what we the taxpayer pick up the tab for injuries that a victim or the individuals who fostered the problem don't have insurance like us (resident Homeowners) Dog bites are one of many things this law would fix with absentee landlords.
Baltimore Matt
12:50 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
...yes the bank holds the mortgage...but as a homeowner, if you don't have insurance the liabilty still fall back on the homeowner (generally the head of household) who is expected to pay for damages...
1:16 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
@Tony So where does the dog owners responsibility lie? Why not go after the dog owner. Oh because they dont have money!!! This is not about anything but money. So what to you do when the landlord file Bankruptcy? Who do you go after then?
Tony Solesky

Mike, I wrote it this morning with a clear head. Yes it is all my work
12:45 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Every mortgage I had required me to have homeowner's insurance. If I didn't, the bank purchased homeowner's insurance. The cost of insurance was included in my mortgage payment. Just make a law, all renter's have to have insurance that cover's dog bites. The landlord has to see a valid paid up renter's policy or the landlord will be required to purchase such insurance. I hate to see it go this way but I don't see any other solution.
Baltimore Matt
1:01 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Who is going to make sure that the insurance doesn't lapse? I'm telling you this issue must be an issue of personal adult head of household liability. Too many people in this town just try to pass the buck for their actions.
The only time a landlord should be concerned about someones pets is whether or not their tenant's pet will cause damage to the landlords property.
Just because someone does not have the ability to pay does not mean that they get a free ride.

A basic renter's policy can cost as little as $108 annually. AND increasing the liability from $100,000 for injuries to $500,000 costs only about an additional $15 a year. We mandate the owner of a car have a lot less financial responsibility to pay for more likely injuries. WHen I rented out my home to a couple with 3 dogs, I did not care whether they were Chihuahuas (which bite more often) or Pits, they had to show me their personal liablity on a pre-paid-in-fullrenters' policy was at least $300,000. The point is that it should not be the judge's rule, it belongs to elected officials to make a decision who is responsible. Because of that court case, the personal responsibilty was shifted to the person with the "deeper pockets".

Baltimore Matt Insurance companies are un afraid to take the risk it is what they do. You are completely wrong about cost. A lease is completely different then a mortgage. As a mortgage holder/homeowner you have all rights over the house to modify as you please the bank maintians no control. The bank only steps in on a unpaid debt. In a lease the landlord maintains control and therefore cannot have it both ways let them give complete control of the house to the renter and you may have a point. They donot let them smoke change paint or modify the house, This is a lanlord lording over a property and escaping responsibility. A mortgage is a all together different thing.
Tony Solesky
4:35 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Matt to not have insurance you would have to outright own the house no mortgage on it otherwise it is required to be insured by the any and all banks. My wife Irene is a Mortgage underwriter. If the house is owned then you would have a asset to bond your dog ownership and take responsibility. In true responsibility taking it is three tiered. Like at work safe training, Safe Equipment and #3 a compensatory component to ccover that needs 1 and 2 will mean three is going to happen. By your logic I could drop my car insurance if I either am a good driver or a bad driver with a safe car. All public safety and work place safety are a three teired component.
Tony Solesky
4:39 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Parkville Honey actually it is not government intrusion. You see the Police and Fire Department and all other Public services base their structure on the fact that the vast majority will not need them because they will be privately positioned with car or homeowners insurance to not need tax dollars. The government should not allow any Policies that do not cause those not in the same protective boat to not have to enact some kind of other measures. For instance no insurance for car ride the bus. No insurance for renter muzzle your dog when in public. It is all real simple stuff
Tony Solesky
4:42 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Quite the reverse Matt if they can't pay they are getting a free ride on the Tax payer. If you ever had a public service background you would know it is three teired. Are you a responsible worker? Great tell your boss to drop your workers comp coverage.
Able Baker
4:50 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
You misunderstand the reason for no-fault workman's comp. It was a regular practice to deny coverage to employees by claiming they contributed to the injury.
Tony Solesky
4:55 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Maureen You are getting very warm almost hot. The landlord is a business and makes money off of the transaction. They have a responsibility to see that their business has no greater effect on the neighborhood then does the other mortgage holders. If they require them to have insurance you have no problem which is why you have no problem with some people who may own their home but be complete idots. The point is none of this has to do with anything other then equal access and equal responsibility. As far as the money what do you mean the Landlord has deeper pockets. It is the insurance company that gets sued that is why you have it to protect your pockets.
3:33 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
The landlord has a business with assets that are rented to a client. The client is separate and is not part of the business. The landlord is providing a service. The service is the building. The client is buying the service and is NOT an entity of the business. The business has no fault in or part in what the client does. It is a far reach to have the landlord responsible for the client (tenant) not paying his car note or controlling the behavior of a pet. If your true point is to make people more aware then there are ways to do it without causing harm to others. Having a loved one hurts but it doesnt mean that everyone and anyone has to pay because you cant make the owner of the dog pay. I question if you would even have named the landlord in the suit if the tenant was a multimillionaire and had not filed bankruptcy. I question your motives here. You can have much more credibility without a lawsuit. Ask you lawyer is that is true.
Tony Solesky
4:59 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Abe you sue no one the governement just raises our taxes the tax payer does'nt even get a fighting chance in court. What everyone misses is Why if someone doesnt have insurance or their landlord doesnt require it. why do you consider either responsible people? More important what is someone with no moiney for insurance doing even owning any dog when the average properly raised dog cost 2800. per year
Tony Solesky
5:07 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
ABE , Now you are making my point. I think everybody just resents lawyers and law suits and decided that there is no circumstance where it may be good to sue someone into responsibility taking. Either way no one here understands what it takes to have advanced the discussion as far as I have. Anyone that says they did'nt learn something or take a new or modified point of view especially on the one free bite rule is probably kidding themselves. Don't be so quick to assume that that is the only revealation you will have on this matter. It is all good what I am advancing my whole family are public servants. My son had seven blood transfusions no one really knowns how long or when the buuble will pop. Rest assured you all and many others will learn think and direct and conduct yourselves in a new manner and that my dear brothers and sisters is my mission in all of this. That is why I am out here doing what I do. Just know that my case is not affected if the law changes back. So ask yourself why do I still stay involved if my case cannot be overruled by a law change?

Pit bulls are breed for fighting and guarding... its just inherent behavior breed into the species regardless of what people say.
Of course owners are the #1 preventer and stopper to thwart this inherent behavior. 1. Great owners have great dogs!
2. Slacking owners, (the ones that say, "let 'um dogs fight it out they will learn their rank in the pack") are the owners who have sketchy pit bulls that behave fine, then one day they snap and attack another dog or person. Then of course we hear the old common saying, "he has always been a great family dog...I don't know what happened".
3. Aggressive teaching owners that want the aggressiveness in the breed; well are what they are and they are the ones who should banned from owning any dog.
Just getting a pit bull to get a pit bull is a big responsibility and task to raise a good safe dog. These great owners work hard to raise a good dog and it shows. Its just the dam slackers and people who want one to be tough and aggressive are the issue.
Reminds me of the gun issue. Guns don't kill people, people do. Its kinda the same with a pit bull. Pit bulls don't kill people, slacking and poor owners do.
Brook Hubbard
3:53 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
You are mostly on the spot, but there is one clarification:
The American Pit Bull Terrier was ~never~ bred to fight ~people~. In fact, that is the opposite of how APBTs were and are. Every breeding organization that recognizes APBTs notes that their temperament is extremely positive with people and that aggression toward humans is very uncharacteristic.
That being said, APBTs ~were~ bred for aggression toward other dogs. This is something that owners need to understand and work to train their dogs properly on. In the end, regardless of where the aggression goes, proper training and ownership is a must... with ~any~ breed.
Melissa S
3:53 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
You should do more research on the breed you are referring to instead of listening to all the media hype surrounding pit bulls. Dogs bite people everyday, the media only makes it a story when it is a pit bull. At least that is what it seems like to me.
Tony Solesky

Brian, You asked my motivation and I told you what I believe. I believe if you loan your car to someone and they get in an accident the insurance follows the car the same as if they run a light at a speed camera. I told you I think it makes sense to apply this to landlords. I chose to find a law that did that. I understand your position but that is a position of the law applied to how it is now. That is what I am trying to change in strict Liability. Because I believe it should work that way for all the reason I said. It does not mean it will or that I am correct. It means that how I see it. I think if you don;t like what comes with being a landlord get in another business. Or no pets both solve the problem Or require insurance for your tenates or get a rider. If being a renter means you can't have a dog, paint the walls a different color or smoke then buy if you can't buy you save the money from owning a pet and put it toward a town payment. I have very deep empathy for someone who loves their pet. I have no sympathy for someone that thinks the world should make exceptions for them to have it. My sister owns her home and has a Pitbull she completely supports the law and she is prepared and positioned to put her money where her mouth is. Again if you can't rent to a person in comfort without concern that their activities may make you liable then why would you wnat me to live next to someone who you aren't comfortable with. Now here is the lesson ---
Tony Solesky
5:39 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
most people here that talk about money that I want and yet their whole basis for arguement has not been the public Safety. Perhaps you should google Anthony Solesky testimony youtube and you will see what I am all about it is on the record. I love all of the feedback it tells me much. Where is your plan to keep bite victims safe? Mine was born out of a lawsuit. Why because I knew it is exactly what would make people get off of their ass and do something. So tell me before I brought suit what where any of you doing to stop the dog mauling problem? What is your plan now? Not in wiords but what government offical or agency are you working with to get a bill drafted? Perhaps you should run all of my statements through a profile all of them where I write and speak and am on the news. Perhaps you should ask a Police friend to profile me. Then ask them to look at your posts and have them profile you. What are you trying to catch me at being honest? I am sad for the many post that think my motivations are money. Not sad for me but sad for you who feel small somehow , for not doing more and then must tell yourselves noway somebody else could be do it for the right reasons. Long story short I told you all many times why I do it. It is in writing and media. Now all I will ask of you is have you ever considered that I do it for all of the reasons I say and if not why not?
