Roatan Bay Island c/o Adept Developer
Adept Developer is a Houston-based consulting and web programming firm. We are posting this design project as part of a larger development contract we have with Roatan Bay Island a division of RE/MAX International. We [Adept Developer] outsource all graphic design needs to people like yourself and are looking for a talented designer for our client.
Roatan Bay Island is a real estate brokerage firm located on the island of Roatan, Honduras. Roatan has been a haven for divers for decades and has become popular as a destination for Americans, Canadians and Europeans looking for a second home in a tropical destination.
The Design Spec (attached) has some sample URLs and more details, but you can reference:
http://www.roatan-realestate.com/ (their current site)
for pictures, homes, etc that you may want to incorporate.
You may be able to find higher resolution home photos on our other client's website: http://www.roataninterest.com.
This is our first time using 99designs.com for a project, so please be patient and additionally, ask any questions you have. I'd prefer to spend more time giving guidance than receive designs that are off target.
The main target audience is American, Canadian and European families looking for a second home or rental property in the Caribbean. There is very little financing available so generally these families have to be able to spend $300k-800k to purchase a property.
Most of the time, families have already been to Roatan if they are considering buying a home there, so they know what it's all about, but the design needs to definately convey a Caribbean or Tropical feel without being hoaky or cartoony.
I've provided an attached Design Spec document for your review, but will also go over some basics here.
Since we are programmers, we'll be handling the actual programming, html and css side of things. We're looking for a design to put together some visual comps that we can present to the client. Once the client chooses one, we may need slight modifications and upon final approval, we would like the PSD and any supporting assets (images / fonts / etc).
We are a Windows shop, so please provide everything in Windows compatible formats.
I've also provided a Site Map (only worry about the public site on the left hand side of the map).

Hi guys
Just got my Cosmosex installed into an STe (TOS2.06, valid DMA chip), having ordered it around Christmas time. I've opted for an internal fitting, with keyboard passthrough, ACSI via the external port, and using floppy ribbon/power.
It's taken me a while to get my head around everything, but I've started to get things working.
I couldn't get my cifs network share to work (it kept saying Host is Down), so I started to manually play with the mount command directly via Putty, and found the command line I needed to get it to work, which was:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.26/atarishared /mnt/shared -o vers=2.0,domain=servername,username=user,password=password
If I omitted the vers=2.0 (basically SMB2), then I got the host down error. If I also didn't specify the domain (in this case the local server name as I used a local account not domain account) I would get "Permissions error".
Is there somewhere I can modify a script that initialises the mount command for CE? I need to add these 2 extra options above.
Also, I'm finding I can't work with any long-filename files on a translated USB drive (NTFS or FAT32 formatted). I always get "read error" when trying to copy the file over to a partition on the SD card. 8.3 files copy fine, but as soon as the system has to present the name on USB with ~1 etc, I get the read error. If it's a long-filename zip file, I can double click it to show the contents inside (I do have to double click twice for some reason though), but it still fails whether it's the zip file or files inside I'm trying to copy. I haven't been able to try the same test over the shared drive yet. Is this a known issue?

text: Here are a couple things to know about the new BMWCCA.org website. Most people won't be affected. But in case you try this: BMW CCA member profile. This is your name, mailing address, and contact information. It works for most members. But some answers default to the first choice on the list, particularly the prefix to your name, title, and home state. You may have to scroll up to click on the blank for instance, so you don't wind up as 2LT or AIA or scroll down so you don't default to the home state of Alabama. Also, you have to call the club to change to your chapter affiliation; that's not a glitch. If you save the profile, don't try to edit it immediately. It's not an instantaneous update on the club membership info server.[edit add:] Some users report making changes and winding up with the defaults re-applied, so your best bet is not to update your user profile from what's already on file for the near term.If you wind up with member profile info that's wrong, call the club office to get it corrected. Member renewal online. It's not yet enabled. Please call the club, 864-250-0022. We'll have it running shortly. New member sign-up does work.[Edit add 3/10/08]: Renewal should now work for members if you're within 3 months of your expiration date. However, some members with expiration dates further out may be getting the message inadvertantly. Currently you can renew at any time over the phone, within 90 days online. Classfieds, events calendar. That's on the old website, http://old.bmwcca.org for a few more days. The calendar will transfer over to the new site. You'll have to resubmit classifieds on the new site to have them appear online. (Relax about getting your ad in Roundel: If you submitted by 2/26 on the old site, it will be in April Roundel, and if you submitted after that on the old site it will be in May Roundel.) [edit add:] Submit by March 26 for the May issue. We wish there were no issues with the new site. We think there aren't many issues. Please keep pointing out issues that crop up and appear to be glitches. It may well be the site, not the user, especially if you log off, log on a few minutes later, and the issue persists.

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I like to go online and read angry customer complaints about used car dealers. Have you ever done this? I highly recommend it. Hearing from these people is fun, and it's entertaining, and it's a good reminder of why we have to put warning labels all over everything.
I say this because these people aren't always the brightest bulbs in the drawer. In fact, I would say they're some of the dimmest. They're the kind of bulb most modern restaurants are installing above their tables these days; the kind that's so dim that sometimes you have to pull out your phone flashlight to make sure you're still sitting next to your wife.
To explain what I mean, please allow me to illustrate the most common story in nearly every one of these complaints, using three easy-to-remember steps.
1. A customer — we'll call him Kenny, because that's almost always his name — purchases a used vehicle from a used car dealership. The vehicle is something truly horrible, such as a 1997 Dodge Intrepid with 246,000 miles. It has been owned by 11 different people in the last 17 years, including a milkman, a paperboy, a T-shirt repairman, and a guy who thought he was Jesus. The dealer purchased it from an auction for $67.35 in coins. Then they ran it through a gas station car wash and put it on their front line. Before selling it to Kenny, they had it for 19 days.
2. Six months after Kenny buys the car, the transmission dies.
3. Kenny blames the used car dealership.
You might think I'm exaggerating here, but this is almost always exactly what happens: a person buys a car that has been on the road for years, driven by multiple previous owners in a wide variety of scenarios, including the famous used car scenario of: Let's see how fast we can go in reverse.
And then when this car breaks down, they don't blame the prior owner, who once drove away from the gas station with the pump dangling from the car, and they don't blame the manufacturer, whose entire testing procedure consisted of driving a pre-production model around Southfield, Michigan, for three hours on a sunny August morning. They blame the used car dealer, who had the vehicle for approximately 0.04 percent of its 15-year lifespan. The used car dealer, who picked it up at auction, with no knowledge of the prior owners. The used car dealer, who drove it 6.3 total miles out of the 219,462 miles currently showing on the odometer.
Now, you might think I'm exaggerating with these complaints, but I'm not. For proof, I've copied down a few of my favorite angry posts from one of the "ripped off consumer" websites, where people go to complain about car dealerships, and insurance firms, and computer manufacturers, and staple gun companies, and you get the feeling that, if you were to listen to every one of these complaints, you would never own anything more complicated than a tree.
Here's one especially excellent complaint:
Horrible service and they lie to you only for you to purchase a car to increase their gross profits and sale numbers. I purchased a car from the Tinley Park, IL location and I was shown the so call "Carfax report" by Jim to only to hear five months later that the car may need a new transmission. Wtf.
First, this person says that the dealer "lies" – a serious complaint that should be examined further. But when we discover why the complainer thinks the dealer is lying, it turns out that the transmission died on a car five months after the sale date – something the buyer thinks is ridiculous, considering the car had a clean Carfax. This is like saying that you're angry that your house was just demolished by an asteroid, considering that a plumber recently told you that all the pipes are OK.
Unfortunately, that particular complainer doesn't announce what vehicle had the transmission problems. But the next hilarious complaint comes to us from a woman with – surprise, surprise – a Volkswagen. It is:
I will never purchase a vehicle from [dealer] and I'll never use their service department either. $2300 for the warranty for them to refuse me for service. 63000 miles and since I did not service the trans. My valve body is not covered. This Single mom is so mad. Buyers beware.
Just to be clear, this person made two important mistakes. First, she didn't service the transmission, which is a crucial part of remaining within the terms of an aftermarket warranty. Imagine if you never did any maintenance to your engine, and you drove 45,000 miles on the same oil, and suddenly the whole thing blew up. There is no warranty on earth that would cover this. Warranty company executives would tell this story at parties. Future warranties would include a pamphlet with your photograph and a long, scary re-telling of your story, as written by Stephen King. ("The noise emanating from the transmission reminded her of a time when she was a child, and the family home collapsed during a loud storm, raging with wind, rain, and God's wrath for all those people her father murdered.")
This woman's second mistake, of course, was purchasing a Volkswagen when she wanted reliable transportation. Of the two mistakes, I would say this is probably the larger one. Searching for reliable transportation and ending up with a Volkswagen is the automotive equivalent of walking into Target right before Christmas, and your son wants a bike, and you want to get him a bike, and you walk into the bike aisle, and you see all the bikes on display, and you end up buying him a file cabinet.
And yet in spite of all this, she still blames the dealer. Not Volkswagen, for making a vehicle whose transmission only lasted 63,000 miles. Not the prior owners, who probably played several rousing rounds of "Let's see how fast we can go before it doesn't let us shift into reverse anymore" before trading it in to the dealer. No – she blames the used car dealer who sold her the vehicle that she herself picked out.
But that's not the best complaint that I found. That honor goes to this person, who bought a used "Grand Jeep Cherokee" with some tire issues:
I bought a Grand Jeep Cherokee in June 2014. Within two and half months my tires are completely bald till the wire in the tire is coming out. A tire in that condition should not have been sold at all. I was driving on the beltway and noticed my truck was sliding to and fro. I wasn't sure what the problem was until my husband took a look at it and said my tires are completely bald. Somehow they camouflaged the tires to make them look good.
Now, I admit that a bald tire is probably something that should be replaced before a vehicle is sold. But I would also argue that the dealer probably didn't camouflage the tires in order to make them look good. Used car dealers may be sneaky, ladies and gentlemen, but they're not magicians. Even if they dress up like magicians in those ads where they say they'll finance anyone, regardless of whether you're divorced, or bankrupt, or jobless, or currently serving time for eating human flesh.
OK, fine, we get it, you might be thinking. The dealer isn't at fault. So what's your point? Well, my point is this: if you're buying a used car, you can't just blame the dealer for all your problems. Instead, you need to research the car. Go on the forums. Check the Carfax. Ask your friends. Get a mechanical inspection. Because when you sign those papers to buy your used car, you're assuming all the risks that go along with it. It might need new tires. It might need new brakes. It might need a new transmission.
It might be a Volkswagen.

From "sexy" mugshots to a heavily-tattoed criminal, Crimesider presents a collection of the most outrageous mug shots.
Jacob Pauda, 31, of Lubbock, Texas, was found guilty of domestic violence and sentenced to 15 years in prison for assaulting his pregnant girlfriend back in February 2016.
He reportedly chased her with a butcher's knife and repeatedly slammed the victim into metal objects.
The victim quoted Pauda as admitting he did "two bumps" of cocaine before the violent assault.
In Pauda's mugshot from the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office, he appears to have a full face tattoo.

Lawrence Sullivan, 29, is accused of waving a gun at cars in southwest Miami-Dade, Fla. He was charged for possession of a concealed weapon.
Sullivan, whose distinctive look is reminiscent of Jared Leto's Joker in "Suicide Squad," mixes and matches his representations of various Jokers on his face.
On each of his cheeks, he has a tattoo that looks as if his mouth has been split ear to ear and then stitched back together. The tattoo is similar to the imagery in the "The Dark Knight," where the late Heath Ledger portrayed the Joker.
The word "Joker" is scrawled on the right side of Sullivan's forehead while the left side has a tattoo of The Batman logo with the words "F**K Batman" on the wings and dagger piercing the bat's heart.
The comic book Joker's signature "Ha, Ha, Ha" is tattooed below his right eye.
And if that was not enough, there's a "666" and an upside down cross tattooed just in front of his right ear.
His family said he recently put tattoos on his face as an expression of his artistic side.

Oregon man Craig Bruckner got to bring his four-year-old macaw with him for a mugshot when his court appearance ran long thanks to an understanding sheriff's office.
Buckner, 38, brought the macaw, named "Bird," to Washington County court Nov. 28, 2016 because of failure to appear on previous theft and drug charges. He put the animal in a nearby tree to wait for him, but things took longer than expected and Buckner reportedly became concerned for the well-being of his feathered friend.
Buckner was escorted out of the courthouse to retrieve "Bird" from the tree and brought him inside to the booking area, where both posed for a mugshot.
Deputies said "Bird" was very well-trained and wouldn't leave the tree for anyone other than his owner.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (UPI) -- A U.S. Senate panel Thursday approved a measure that would make illegally buying a gun for someone else a felony.
Using someone able to buy a gun to give it to someone who isn't allowed to have a gun is called a "straw purchase."
The vote was 11-7 on the Senate Judiciary Committee, with Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa being the only Republican to vote for the proposal, The New York Times reported. The panel is made up of 10 Democrats and eight Republicans.
The bill now goes to the full Senate.
The Times said several Republicans spoke out against the proposal, including Sen. John Cornyn of Texas. Cornyn said the bill would be used "to show we are doing something," but would not halt gun crimes.
The committee is expected to vote on three other gun control proposals, including an assault weapons ban from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
Feinstein said despite support for the ban from law enforcement, medical and other groups, "it's as if we have a minority insubstantial piece of legislation."
The Times said if Congress fails to pass more than a modified straw purchasing bill, it would be a victory for the National Rifle Association, which opposes each measure.

Difference between revisions of "Ukaz"
(Inital entry)
(No difference)
Revision as of 00:04, November 13, 2006
Ukaz (plural Ukazy) (Russian: указ, указы) in Imperial Russia was a proclamation, edict, or ordinance of the tsar, government, or a religious leader, such as the patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Russia, that had the force of law. Popularly, Ukaz became a term for any official decree, and is generally translated as "decree".
The term Ukaz, or Ukase, came from the word Ukazat which is a shortened form of the word ukazlivat, which has the meaning of 'to show', announce, or prescribe.
In recent history, Ukaz No. 362 of November 20, 1920 is notable as the attempt by Patr. Tikhon of Moscow to provide guidance for governance of the Church of Russia as the Bolsheviks assumed power in Russia after the October 1917 Revolution.

Sebastian Vettel claimed his fourth victory of the season under the artificial lighting of the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, after a flawless drive that confirmed the Red Bull star as championship runner-up behind Jenson Button.
Vettel was made to work hard for his victory in the opening laps of the 55-lap grand prix, hounding pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton and then taking the lead following the first round of pit stops. Hamilton had been expected to run away with the race after qualifying on pole by over six-tenths of a second, but race day saw the outgoing champion unable to pull out the gap required to ensure he retained the lead in the first round of stops.
As Hamilton pitted on lap 18, Vettel put in some blistering laps to take the lead and just three laps later Hamilton was back in the pit lane to retire his McLaren with a braking problem. Vettel went on to control the pace at the front of the field, even recording the fastest lap of the race on his penultimate lap, to finish 18 seconds clear of team-mate Mark Webber.
The final laps of the race saw Jenson Button close rapidly on second placed Webber, but despite several attempts to make the pass on the final lap, the 2009 champion was forced to settle for third position after another spirited drive in his Brawn.
Rubens Barrichello finished in fourth position in the second Brawn, losing position to his team-mate early in the race. The Brazilian veteran, soon to be confirmed as a Williams racer for next season, had an eventful opening lap as he and Webber made light contact into the first turn, but he was ultimately unable to keep pace with Hamilton, the Red Bull duo and Button at the front of the field.
Nick Heidfeld finished fifth in what was BMW Sauber's 70th and final grand prix, while team-mate Robert Kubica dropped back to finish in tenth position following a late incident trying to pass Sebastien Buemi for position. Heidfeld's four points gained with fifth position moved the team ahead of Williams and into sixth position in the championship.
Kamui Kobayashi again shone for the Toyota team in what is just his second grand prix start, claiming a sensational sixth position and making best use of a one-stop strategy. The Japanese racer ran as high as third and made a crucial pass on Button mid-race to ensure that when he made his one and only stop, he emerged from the pits ahead of team-mate Jarno Trulli. Kobayashi has certainly done enough to claim a seat with the German-based squad for next year.
Sebastien Buemi took the final point for Toro Rosso after another strong drive, finishing ahead of Nico Rosberg in the leading Williams and Kubica.

For the average American, $770 is no small sum. But that's how much they'll each shell out on average for Christmas gifts this year.
That's roughly the equivalent of three iPhone 5 smartphones, with tax.
Consumers have boosted their holiday spending each year since 2009, when the price tag on Christmas gift-giving plunged to a two-decade low of $616 per person. The $866 figure from 2008 capped a six-year rise, according to an annual poll of more than 1,000 adults by Gallup.
This time around, nearly nine in 10 shoppers will spend some amount of money on Christmas gifts, according to Gallup. Three in 10 will spend more than $1,000.
The U.S. Postal Service calls the holiday season its "Super Bowl." The throngs of shoppers that elbow, crash and occasionally pepper-spray their way into retail stores starting on Black Friday give rise to door-buster deals, holiday hiring surges and – once in a while – protests.
The 2012 season will bring "good, though not great, sales for holiday retailers," according to Gallup. Retail sales over the period will increase 3.5% to 3.7%, Gallup forecasts – a less robust pace than the 5.5% and 5.6% boosts from the last two years but on pace with the decade-long average.
In the run-up to the Black Friday surge, sales rose 3.5% in October – a dip from the 8.2% lift during the month last year and the 5.3% advance the year before. Superstorm Sandy may have tamped down sales, Gallup said.
'Twelve Days of Christmas' list priciest ever at $101,119.84

"Every year, more than a million more people in low- and middle-income countries start taking antiretroviral drugs," said Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General, WHO. "But for every person who starts treatment, another two are newly infected. Further scale-up and strategic use of the medicines could radically change this. We now have evidence that the same medicines we use to save lives and keep people healthy can also stop people from transmitting the virus and reduce the chance they will pass it to another person."
Antiretrovirals reduce transmission of HIV
In 2011, a large multi-country study by the HIV Prevention Trials Network showed that antiretrovirals (ARVs) cut transmission of HIV by 96% within couples where one partner is HIV-positive and the other is not infected. A later study in South Africa reinforced these findings.
"When people take antiretrovirals, the amount of HIV in their body is decreased, making them much less likely to pass the virus to others," says Dr Gottfried Hirnschall, Director of the HIV Department at WHO. "If we can get, and keep, more people on treatment, and reduce their virus levels, we can reduce the number of new people who are infected."
Strategic use of antiretrovirals
On the basis of this evidence, WHO advice for more strategic use of antiretrovirals includes:
- new guidelines for treating people with HIV who have uninfected partners ('serodiscordant' couples), recommending that antiretroviral therapy be offered to the HIV-positive partner, regardless of the strength of his or her immune system, to reduce the likelihood of HIV transmission to the uninfected partner. Up to 50% of HIV-positive people in on-going relationships are estimated to have HIV-negative partners. Rwanda and Zambia are already implementing this new policy. More than a dozen other countries say they plan to join them.
- a recommendation to consider modifying current practices to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT). Malawi, for example, now offers ARVs to all HIV positive pregnant women, regardless of the strength of their immune system, and has them continue taking the medicines for life. This not only treats HIV infected women and prevents transmission to their infants, it can also protect their partners.
- WHO currently recommends that people diagnosed with HIV start taking ARVs when the strength of their immune system drops to a CD4+ count of 350 cells/mm3 or lower. There is increasing evidence that HIV infection causes chronic inflammation, increasing the risk of other health problems, including certain types of cancers, heart disease and diabetes. The Organization is now reviewing recent studies that point to the potential health benefits of giving ARVs earlier, before the immune system starts to weaken.
Increased coverage and early treatment cost-effective
Providing ARVs to people living with HIV who have HIV-negative partners, pregnant women and high risk populations, regardless of their immune status, would increase the number of people eligible for treatment in low- and middle-income countries from the current figure of 15 million to 23 million. While this will increase the cost of providing treatment in the short term, studies predict that the economic benefits of early treatment will substantially offset, and likely exceed, programme costs within 10 years of investment. This economic benefit derives from the fact that the workforce is healthier and more productive and that costs of treatment and orphan care are reduced.
In addition to more targeted treatment approaches recent studies suggest ARVs can also be used to protect people who are currently HIV-negative, but are at high risk of becoming infected. WHO is working with a number of countries where epidemics are concentrated around communities at particularly high risk of being infected with HIV such as men who have sex with men and transgender people.
New WHO recommendations
Over the next 12 months, WHO will compile a new, consolidated set of recommendations related to the use of ARVs for both HIV treatment and prevention. The document will provide countries with clinical, programmatic and operational guidance so they can make the most effective and strategic use of ARVs.
"The new guidance builds on science and experience from countries. It will inform what ARVs to use and when to use them, how to best deliver them and how to make strategic choices that have maximum benefit for people, and maximum impact on the epidemic," adds Hirnschall.
In addition, at the International AIDS Conference, WHO will release new guidance on a range of issues, including guidelines on HIV services for sex workers, new recommendations on using ARVs in particular circumstances for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and the prevention of HIV and hepatitis among people who inject drugs.

No. 91,225
In the Matter of the Estate of
FRANCIS J. WOLF, JR., a/k/a FRANCIS J. WOLF, Deceased.
1. Whether the trial court has subject matter jurisdiction over a claim is a question of law over which an appellate court has unlimited review. Subject matter jurisdiction is the authority of the court to hear and decide a particular action.
2. Trial courts have subject matter jurisdiction in probate proceedings to determine the validity of claims and demands made against the estate.
3. Petitions filed in probate cases must: (1) identify the petitioner and his or her interest in applying for relief; (2) state the jurisdictional facts; (3) include the facts, in ordinary and concise language, showing that the petitioner is entitled to the relief sought; and (4) include a prayer for relief.
4. The probate code does not specifically incorporate any part of the Kansas Code of Civil Procedure. In fact, the Supreme Court has rejected assertions that probate matters are governed by the rules of civil procedure.
5. Petitions for allowance of demand against an estate should be liberally construed. However, probate procedures must be followed. An administrator's mere knowledge of a claim or potential claim is not sufficient to avoid the nonclaim statute.
6. Simply attaching a contract to a pleading does not excuse a party from asserting its claims.
7. One purpose of the demand requirement in claims against an estate is to give the executor or executrix adequate facts and circumstances to understand the exact nature of the claim and to aid in his or her determination as to whether to allow or contest the claim.
8. A timely demand under the probate code may be amended after the expiration of the nonclaim statute.
Appeal from Wyandotte District Court; JOHN E. WECKEL, judge. Opinion filed September 3, 2004. Reversed.
John M. McFarland, of Kutak Rock, LLP, of Kansas City, Missouri, and David L. Higgins, of Higgins, Lysaught, Tomasic & Lynch, Chartered, of Kansas City, Kansas, for appellant Nancy J. Wolf.
Jeffrey B. Rosen and Kevin J. Breer, of Polsinelli, Shalton & Welte, P.C., of Overland Park, for appellee Marino & Wolf, Inc.
Before MARQUARDT, P.J., MALONE, J., and ERIC S. ROSEN, District Judge, assigned.
ROSEN, J.: Nancy J. Wolf, executrix of the Estate of Francis J. Wolf, Jr., appeals the trial court's award of attorney fees to Marino & Wolf, Inc. (M&W). We reverse.
Francis (Frank) J. Wolf, Jr., died in Wyandotte County, Kansas, on September 24, 1998. Shortly thereafter, Nancy, Frank's wife, filed a petition for probate of a lost will in Wyandotte County District Court. The trial court named Nancy as the executrix of Frank's estate (Estate). Among the assets Nancy identified in the Estate's first inventory were 333 shares of M&W stock.
Nancy issued a notice to creditors. M&W filed two petitions for allowance and classification of demand within the 4-month claim period. One of those petitions asserted that M&W held a demand against the Estate "for the purchase [of] 333 shares of stock in Petitioner owned by the decedent . . . pursuant to the terms and conditions of a certain Option Agreement, as amended, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 'A' at the price of $625.00 per share." Attached to the petition was a copy of the Option Agreement and an amendment to the Option Agreement.
Nancy filed written defenses to M&W's demand, disputing the validity of the Option Agreement and asserting a right to a set off for all monies and commissions due to Wolf at his death. In the probate case, Nancy alleged that in early 1997, the principals of M&W had agreed to new terms for purchasing each other's stock. Nancy also filed a separate civil action in Wyandotte County District Court against M&W and its coowner Jasper Marino, seeking a declaratory judgment and an accounting. This action was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In September 2000, M&W filed a motion for summary judgment seeking to enforce the Option Agreement. Nancy opposed the motion, claiming that there was a genuine issue of fact.
The trial court held a hearing in January 2001, and orally granted M&W's motion. In a subsequent memorandum decision, however, the trial court reversed its decision and found that there was a sufficient factual dispute for Nancy's objections to survive summary judgment.
Nancy filed a motion to reconsider and M&W renewed its motion for summary judgment. The trial court granted M&W's motion for summary judgment and ordered Nancy to convey the M&W stock in exchange for a payment of $625 per share. Nancy appealed the trial court's grant of summary judgment to M&W and then voluntarily dismissed the appeal.
Less than a week after this order, Nancy filed a petition for declaratory relief in the probate court. She asserted that M&W had advised her it would seek attorney fees under the terms of the Option Agreement. She argued that the claim was barred by the statute of limitations set forth in K.S.A. 59-2239, the nonclaim statute.
Thereafter, M&W filed a "bill of costs and expenses of suit," asserting that under the Option Agreement, it was entitled to recover attorney fees, costs, and expenses of the lawsuit. M&W asserted that since the litigation had concluded, it was entitled to recover those costs as the prevailing party. M&W claimed $143,659.41 in attorney fees and expenses. M&W also requested that the amount be offset against the amount it owed for purchasing the Estate's M&W stock.
The trial court held a hearing and ruled that K.S.A. 59-2239 did not bar M&W's request for attorney fees. The trial court also found that M&W's original claim against the Estate, which had a copy of the Option Agreement attached, made attorney fees part of the original demand.
The Option Agreement that was attached to the petition contained the following provision:
"7.13 Attorneys' Fees. If any party to this Agreement brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in the final adjudication of any such action, at trial or on appeal shall be entitled to costs and expenses of suit, including without limitation actual attorneys' fees borne by such party, to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the Court."
Nancy objected to the amount of M&W's attorney fees and expenses. A hearing was held and the trial court found that M&W's attorney fees were reasonable; however, it reduced the amount by 1 percent. The trial court ordered that M&W be allowed $142,222.82 in attorney fees offset against its prior payment for the Estate's stock. Nancy timely appealed the trial court's ruling.
Nancy's primary argument on appeal is that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to award M&W attorney fees because M&W's claim was not made within 4 months of the notice to creditors pursuant to K.S.A. 59-2239(1). M&W contends that its original demand, which was timely under K.S.A. 59-2239, encompassed its claim for attorney fees.
Whether the trial court has subject matter jurisdiction over a claim is a question of law over which an appellate court has unlimited review. In re Marriage of Metz, 31 Kan. App. 2d 623, 625, 69 P.3d 1128 (2003).
Nancy's subject matter jurisdiction argument is misguided. Subject matter jurisdiction is the authority of the court to hear and decide a particular action. Metz, 31 Kan. App. 2d at 625. Clearly, trial courts have subject matter jurisdiction in probate proceedings to determine the validity of claims and demands made against the estate. See K.S.A. 59-2204; K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 59-2237(b).
The Kansas courts have, on occasion, referred to the nonclaim statute as jurisdictional in nature. In re Estate of Reynolds, 266 Kan. 449, 456, 970 P.2d 537 (1998). However, in Reynolds, the court recognized that untimely claims could be considered if the trial court finds fraud or other unconscionable conduct. 266 Kan. at 456. Allowing such an exception negates the "jurisdictional" label, as subject matter jurisdiction cannot be waived. See Labette Community College v. Board of Crawford County Comm'rs, 258 Kan. 622, 626, 907 P.2d 127 (1995).
Nothing in the probate code divests the court of subject matter jurisdiction over claims which may be barred under the nonclaim statute. Instead, the nonclaim statute simply limits the trial court's authority to allow certain claims to be assessed against the estate. See K.S.A. 59-2239(1). The question before us is whether the trial court exceeded its statutory authority, not whether the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction.
Nancy argues that the demands made by M&W during the statutory period did not include any claim for attorney fees. Both parties agree that this issue presents a question of statutory interpretation. The interpretation of a statute is a question of law, and the appellate court's scope of review is unlimited. In re Conservatorship of Huerta, 273 Kan. 97, 105, 41 P.3d 814 (2002).
K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 59-2237(a) provides, in relevant part, that "[a]ny person may exhibit a demand against the estate of a decedent by filing a petition for its allowance in the proper district court." K.S.A. 59-2239(1) states, in relevant part:
"(1) All demands . . . against a decedent's estate, whether due or to become due, whether absolute or contingent, . . . and including the individual demands of executors and administrators, not exhibited as required by this act within four months after the date of the first published notice to creditors, . . . shall be forever barred from payment . . . ."
Petitions filed in probate cases must: (1) identify the petitioner and his or her interest in applying for relief; (2) state the jurisdictional facts; (3) include the facts, in ordinary and concise language, showing that the petitioner is entitled to the relief sought; and (4) include a prayer for relief. K.S.A. 59-2202.
The probate code does not specifically incorporate any part of the Code of Civil Procedure. In fact, the Supreme Court has rejected assertions that probate matters are governed by the rules of civil procedure. See In re Estate of Suesz, 228 Kan. 275, 276, 613 P.2d 947 (1980). In some cases, however, the Kansas appellate courts have assumed that decisions interpreting the pleading statutes in Chapter 60 are applicable in probate cases; therefore, a petition filed in a probate court is to be liberally construed. In re Estate of Cipra, 173 Kan. 334, 337, 246 P.2d 267 (1952).
While petitions for allowance of demand against an estate should be liberally construed, probate procedures must still be followed. An administrator's mere knowledge of a claim or potential claim is not sufficient to avoid the nonclaim statute. See In re Estate of Jones, 3 Kan. App. 2d 63, 66, 588 P.2d 960 (1979).
The words "all demands" in K.S.A. 59-2239(1) are all-inclusive and include claims and demands of every type and character against a decedent's estate except for those particular cases where the statute expressly provides otherwise. Union Nat'l Bank & Trust Co. v. Estate of Werning, 233 Kan. 671, Syl. ¶ 2, 665 P.2d 192 (1983).
M&W contends that K.S.A. 60-210(c) allows written agreements to be attached to a petition and to be considered part of the petition "for all purposes." However, K.S.A. 60-210(c) does not apply in a probate case; the probate code has its own pleading statute which does not contain a similar provision. See K.S.A. 59-2202. Moreover, simply attaching a contract to a pleading does not excuse a party from asserting its claims, even in cases under Chapter 60. While the contents of such an attachment are to be considered in determining whether a petition states a claim for purposes of K.S.A. 60-212(b)(6), it does not dispense with the necessity of stating the nature of a claim. See Hoover Equipment Co. v. Smith, 198 Kan. 127, 132, 422 P.2d 914 (1967); see also In re C.H.W., 26 Kan. App. 2d 413, 417-18, 988 P.2d 276 (1999) (SRS's motion to terminate mother's parental rights, which incorporated by reference 48 pages of exhibits, failed to state specific facts relied upon for termination motion as required by statute).
There are also significant policy concerns which should be considered when addressing demands in a probate proceeding. The purpose of demand statutes and nonclaim provisions are to protect the executor or executrix from stale claims and to enable him or her to close the estate and distribute the assets without unnecessary delay. 3 Bartlett, Kansas Probate Law and Practice §1316, at 190 (rev. ed. 1953).
An additional purpose of the demand requirement is to give the executor or executrix adequate facts and circumstances to understand the exact nature of the claim and to aid in his or her determination as to whether to allow or contest the claim. For example, other courts have rejected probate demands where the claim did not state the facts or circumstances constituting the basis of the claim, and the claimed amount was substantially different from that sought later in court. See, e.g., Villegas v. McBride, 112 Wash. App. 689, 50 P.3d 678 (2002). A notice of claim complies with the statutory requirements if the information provided by the notice will enable the personal representative to investigate the claim without the expenditure of substantial sums and make an intelligent judgment whether to allow or disallow the claim. Vincent v. Estate of Simard, 801 A.2d 996, 999 (Me. 2002); In re Estate of Lingle, 822 So. 2d 320, 322-23 (Miss. App. 2002).
Here, M&W's written demand made no explicit mention of attorney fees in its timely filing, even though the right to attorney fees would be a claim against the assets of the estate contingent on M&W's being the prevailing party. M&W knew before filing its claim that the estate was balking at complying with the Option Agreement. Even if M&W was uncertain whether its claim would be contested, it clearly knew of Nancy's objections to its claim when she filed written defenses. M&W could have amended its demand to include the contingent attorney fee claim in a timely manner under the nonclaim statute.
Moreover, a timely demand may be amended after the expiration of the nonclaim statute. 3 Bartlett, Kansas Probate Law and Practice § 1304, at 163 (rev. ed. 1953); In re Estate of Shaffer, 203 Kan. 264, 270, 454 P.2d 1 (1969).
In light of the plain language of K.S.A. 59-2202 and the purposes of the claim provisions, we must conclude that M&W's demand was inadequate to meet the requirements for a contingent claim for attorney fees. Accordingly, the trial court lacked authority under K.S.A. 59-2239 to award M&W attorney fees.
MALONE, J., dissenting: I respectfully dissent. The petition for allowance and classification of demand filed by Marino & Wolf, Inc. (M&W) against the Estate of Francis J. Wolf, Jr., deceased, substantially complied with K.S.A. 59-2202 and placed the executrix, Nancy J. Wolf, on notice of the potential claim for attorney fees.
The time allowance for filing a claim against a probate estate pursuant to K.S.A. 59-2239 is strictly enforced. However, as the majority opinion acknowledges, the substance of a petition for allowance of demand against an estate should be liberally construed. In re Estate of Cipra, 173 Kan. 334, 337, 246 P.2d 267 (1952).
Significantly, M&W was not a routine creditor making an ordinary demand for the recovery of money against the Wolf estate. M&W was the corporate business partially owned by Francis J. (Frank) Wolf at the time of his death. The "claim" filed by M&W was merely the notice of an Option Agreement allowing the corporation to redeem Frank's shares of stock at an agreed price of $625 per share. The Option Agreement was M&W's claim. Accordingly, M&W filed a petition placing the executrix on notice of the "attached" agreement and requesting to exercise its option "pursuant to the terms" of the agreement.
The majority opinion states that a purpose of the demand requirement in probate cases is to give the personal representative adequate facts and circumstances to understand the exact nature of the claim and to aid in his or her determination whether to allow or contest the claim. In this case, Nancy, who was represented by legal counsel at all times, could have understood the exact nature of the claim simply by reading the contract M&W was asking the probate court to enforce. She should not be able to claim surprise over the attorney fee provision which was clearly set forth in the contract and provided to her in a timely manner.
Likewise, M&W should not be faulted for failing to make a specific request for fees and expenses earlier in the proceedings. Under the Option Agreement, M&W was not entitled to recover the costs and expenses of the suit until it became the "prevailing party in the final adjudication" of the lengthy dispute between Nancy and M&W.
Finally, had Nancy prevailed in the probate litigation, she would have no doubt made a claim against M&W under paragraph 7.13 of the Option Agreement and she would have been entitled to recover her fees and expenses on behalf of the estate. It seems inequitable to deny M&W the right to enforce the same contract provision.
For these reasons, I would affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Emergence in Complex Systems
Statistical mechanics is the framework that connects thermodynamics to the microscopic world. It hinges on the assumption of equilibration; when equilibration fails, so does much of our understanding. In isolated quantum systems, this breakdown is captured by the phenomenon known as many-body localization. This breakdown manifests in a variety of ways, as elucidated by much recent theoretical and numerical work.
In a conventional Mott insulator, magnitude of local spin moments remain fixed. They are `fixed spin Mott insulators'. We suggest that, in a multi orbital Hubbard model, when local Hund coupling is won over by inter-orbital superexchange couplings between neighboring sites, local spin moment can decrease its value in a cooperative fashion, through a first order phase transition, These are `Low spin state Mott insulators' (LSSMI).
While there is mounting numerical evidence for a gapped Z2 spin liquid in the kagome Heisenberg model, a complete characterization of this topological phase remains to be accomplished. A defining property, the projective symmetry group (PSG) which fixes how the emergent excitations of the spin liquid phase transform under symmetry, remains to be determined. Following a Chern-Simons field theory, we show how PSG determines measurable properties of a Z2 spin liquid, such as the existence of symmetry protected gapless edge states.
It is now commonly believed that the ground state entanglement spectrum (ES) exhibits universal features characteristic of a given phase. In this talk, I will present evidence to the contrary. I will show that the entanglement Hamiltonian can undergo quantum phase transitions in which its ground state and low energy spectrum exhibit singular changes, even when the physical system remains in the same phase.
States of matter with a sharp Fermi-surface but no well-defined Landau
quasiparticles are expected to arise in a number of physical systems.
Examples include i) quantum critical points associated with the onset
of order in metals, ii) the spinon Fermi-surface (U(1) spin-liquid)
state of a Mott insulator and iii) the Halperin-Lee-Read composite
fermion charge liquid state of a half-filled Landau level. In this
talk, I will use renormalization group techniques to investigate
I will discuss the mathematical framework for gauging a local unitary finite group symmetry of a 2D topological phase of matter.
I'll talk about some work in progress concerning the topic of metals which have no coherent quasiparticles. In particular, I'll compare and contrast the ubiquitous near horizon AdS2 region appearing in holographic models with a phase of matter called the spin incoherent luttinger liquid. By analyzing the structure of entanglement and correlations, we will find many similarities between these two states of matter.
I will review recent progress in describing interacting electronic topological insulators/superconductors in three dimensions. The focus will be on Symmetry Protected Topological (SPT) phases of electronic systems with charge conservation and time reversal. I will argue that the well known Z2 classification of free fermion insulators with this important symmetry generalizes to a Z2^3 classification in the presence of interactions. I will describe the experimental fingerprints and other physical properties of these states.
Topological phases in frustrated quantum spin systems have fascinated researchers for decades. One of the earliest proposals for such a phase was the chiral spin liquid put forward by Kalmeyer and Laughlin in 1987 as the bosonic analogue of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Elusive for many years, recent times have finally seen a number of models that realize this phase. However, these models are somewhat artificial and unlikely to be found in realistic materials.
Within each of nature's crystals is an exotic quantum world of electrons weaving to and fro. Each crystal has it's own unique tapestry, as varied as the crystals themselves. In some crystals, the electrons weave an orderly quilt. Within others, the electrons are seemingly entwined in an entangled web of quantum motion. In this talk, I will describe the ongoing efforts to disentangle even nature's most intricate quantum embroidery.

depicts the evolution and improvement of these structures and presents and analyses three contemporary long-span structures
Here, I'd put a comma after 'structures' to break it up because of the repetition of 'and'.
it doesnt seem to show much cohesiveness.- should you be using contractions?
the reader is pointed out - the reader is told/informed or it is pointed out
Then whats the point of the introduction?- I'm not a great fan of direct questions in such writing. Shouldn't you be telling me rather than asking me? It's OK because you have set it up with 'so far so good', and it is a rhetorical question, but could you end the paragraph without a dircet question?
Besides this minor remark- I'd use criticism
The mentioned projects- The above-mentioned projects
The mentioned projects illustrate the convergence of architecture and engineering in exiting new ways.
Not only do these projects span immense distances,
Should this be a new paragraph? I'd keep them together as the second sentence illustartes the exciting (spelling) new ways of doing things
You mention 3 projects, but don't say anything about the Hangar. Couldn't you give a third example instead of ending on an ellipsis (, ), which I wouldn't recommend.

Thank You, Seniors!
Harvard will honor the playing careers of this year's graduating seniors, Will Chambers, Chris Gibbons, Nick Madden, Michael Owen and Kyle Rehkemper, prior to Saturday's match against Saint Francis. The Class of 2014 has helped the Crimson to a 12-6 mark this season and owns a 57-37 record over the course of their careers. These five seniors have led Harvard to back-to-back appearances in the EIVA tournament and the program's first and highest AVCA national ranking, while etching each of their names in the program's record book along the way.
Scouting No. 12 Penn State
Penn State earned a sweep of Princeton and George Mason last weekend to remain atop the EIVA standings with an overall record of 17-6, 8-1 in conference. The Nittany Lions rank first in the league in kills (13.49) and hitting percentage (.304), but is near the bottom in blocks (2.14).
Aaron Russell leads the conference with 4.01 kps while Nick Goodell is second with 3.54 kps. Russell's .347 hitting percentage ranks seventh with Taylor Hammond's 11.17 aps good for first in the EIVA. The defense has been paced by Connor Curry's 2.33 dps as Matt Callaway leads the charge at the net with 0.78 bps.
Inside the Series with the Nittany Lions
Harvard and Penn State will clash for the 10th time on Friday, with the Crimson trailing the all-time series, 1-8. In the programs first meeting this season, Harvard dropped a 3-0 decision to the Nittany Lions.

MAC Attack
The Crimson has hosted 55 opponents in 113 matches under the roof of the Malkin Athletic Center and boasts an 81-32 (.717) all-time mark at home. Harvard's home-court advantage includes a record-best nine-match win streak that lasted more than a calendar year between Feb. 18, 2012 to April 5, 2013. Currently the Crimson has won seven-straight in the friendly confines of the MAC.
High Percentage
Caleb Zimmick hit an .889 clip in the team's 3-0 victory over Marymount (Va.), registering eight kills on nine attempts. The junior ranks eighth in the nation with a .439 hitting percentage and is second in the EIVA, while DJ White is ninth in the league with a .289 mark. As a team, the Crimson ranks 18th in the NCAA and fourth in the conference with a .274 percentage and has hit over .300 in a match 10 times this season.
Killing It
DJ White has scored 186 kills this season, including a career-best 26 at then-No. 13 Ball State March 16, the most for a Crimson player since Nick Madden scored 27 in a 3-0 win at Cal-Baptist March 13, 2011. The junior's team-high 3.21 kps is the fifth best in the conference and 35th in the nation. As a team, Harvard notches the NCAA's 27th-best kills per set average with 11.79.
Block Party
Harvard protected the net against Concordia, posting 21 total blocks, a season high and the most by a Crimson squad since matching that number in a 3-2 win over Princeton April 5, 2011. Currently, Harvard ranks No. 25 in the NCAA in blocks per set (2.15). On the individual list, Caleb Zimmick (1.11 bps) sits 18th, while Kyle Rehkemper (0.86 bps) is in a three-way tie at 49th.
Seeing Double
Harvard has received seven double-double efforts this season with Nick Madden DJ White each contributing three. Caleb Zimmick notched his first career double-double against Concordia Feb. 16. Madden leads the six active Crimson who have notched a double-double in their career with seven.

Career Double-Doubles
The White Brothers
Casey and DJ White have been instrumental to the Crimson on both sides of the net this season. The Hermosa Beach, Calif., natives have combined for nearly one-third of Harvard's blocks (42-132), digs (196-667) and service aces (23-65). Offensively, the brothers have notched 43.1 percent (346-802) of the Crimson's attack.
Setting it Up
Nick Bendell has served as the Crimson's primary setter in his first collegiate campaign. Bendell has dished out 9.56 aps, which lands 22nd in the NCAA and third in the EIVA.
Serving Up Aces
Senior Nick Madden has turned in a total of 16 aces this season, bringing his career total to 56, putting him in eighth place on Harvard's career list. The Crimson's 0.96 aces per set rank 28th in the NCAA. Classmate Kyle Rehkemper looks to enter the Crimson aces annals as the middle blocker has totaled 53.
And the Award Goes To
Harvard has earned six EIVA weekly awards this season with three Crimson student-athletes garnering an honor.
Nick Madden picked up three straight defensive player of the week nods March 10-23, while DJ White has been named the best defensive and offensive player of the week. Kyle Rehkmper was tabbed the best defensive player over a seven-day stretch for his performance in Harvard's EIVA opener against Sacred Heart Feb. 7.

Record Watch
Eight active players have already made a place for themselves in Harvard's record book. Chris Gibbons owns the top spot for career digs (734) while Will Chambers' .435 hitting percentage sits atop the career list. Nick Madden finds himself on five of the Crimson's career annals; third in block assists (211), kills (802) and digs (449), fifth in total blocks (231) and eighth in aces (56). DJ White and Caleb Zimmick rank in the top-10 on four lists each. DJ White holds the seventh best hitting percentage (.308), total kills (685) and kills per set (3.02), and eighth best total digs (348). Zimmick lands third in hitting percentange (.403) and fourth on each of the blocks lists with 36 solo blocks, 204 block assists and 240 total blocks. Kyle Rehkemper has etched his named on three lists as the senior sits fifth in block assists (193), sixth in total blocks (215) and ninth in hitting percentage (.295). Michael Owen's 130 block assists and 140 total blocks are good for seventh and 10th, respectively, while Nick Bendell's 602 assists land seventh.
