SPECTRA COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, LLC, Plaintiff–Appellant v. CITY OF CAMERON, MISSOURI; Mark Gaugh, City Manager of Cameron, in his official capacity; Drew Bontrager, Director of Public Works of Cameron, in his official capacity, Defendants–Appellees
Spectra Communications Group, LLC, Plaintiff–Appellee v. City of Cameron, Missouri; Mark Gaugh, City Manager of Cameron, in his official capacity; Drew Bontrager, Director of Public Works of Cameron, in his official capacity, Defendants–Appellants.
Spectra Communications Group, LLC (Spectra) brought this action against the City of Cameron (the City), alleging that the City had violated federal and Missouri law by requiring Spectra to comply with a local ordinance governing public rights of way. The district court1 dismissed one of Spectra's federal claims for failure to state a claim and, in light of parallel state court proceedings, later dismissed Spectra's remaining claims on the basis of res judicata or, alternatively, abstention. The district court also denied the City's motion for attorney fees. Spectra and the City filed cross appeals. We affirm.
Spectra has provided telecommunications services in the City for several years and maintains facilities in the City's rights of way. The City has enacted a Right–of–Way and Communications Ordinance (ROW code) requiring communications providers to pay user fees and obtain use permits to place or use facilities in the City's rights of way. The ROW code also requires right of way users to enter agreements with the City in order to attach facilities to the City's poles.
In July 2012 the City and several other municipalities sued Spectra and five related entities in Missouri state court for failure to pay municipal license taxes. The City alleged in amended pleadings that Spectra also had not paid user fees or obtained a public ways use permit as required by the ROW code. After the suit was filed, Spectra sought a construction permit from the City, which refused to issue it unless Spectra would obtain a public ways use permit and pay the user fees due under the ROW code. Spectra filed this action in response.
In January 2013 Spectra sued the City in the federal district court, alleging that the City had violated § 253 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the Act) and Missouri law by requiring Spectra to comply with the ROW code before it would issue the construction permit. See 47 U.S.C. § 253; Mo.Rev.Stat. §§ 67.1830–1846. Spectra further alleged that the City was improperly attempting to force Spectra to concede contested issues in the state court litigation. Spectra sought a declaration that the City's actions and certain portions of the ROW code violated § 253 and Missouri law, an injunction requiring the City to issue Spectra a construction permit, and damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In response, the City filed a motion to dismiss Spectra's complaint. The district court granted the motion in part in June 2013, dismissing Spectra's § 1983 claim with prejudice after concluding that § 253 did not authorize a private right of action under § 1983. The City also requested attorney fees for defending Spectra's § 1983 claim, which the district court denied.
In October 2013 the City canceled a pole attachment agreement allowing General Telephone, which Spectra claims is its predecessor in interest, to attach facilities to the City's poles. The City provided Spectra with a permit agreement that would allow it to attach facilities to the City's poles. Spectra claims that the agreement is essentially identical to the public ways use permit, and it amended its complaint. Its amended complaint alleges that the City had violated § 253 and Missouri law by cancelling the pole attachment agreement and requiring Spectra to obtain a permit to attach to the City's poles. Spectra's amended complaint also restated its § 1983 claim "for purposes of preserving [its] rights on appeal."
The City and the other municipalities filed their second amended petition in state court in November 2013. Before Spectra filed its answer, the state court granted partial summary judgment for the City on its ROW code claims. The court concluded that the ROW code was valid and enforceable and that the ROW user fees were valid under Missouri law "and any other law," and it ordered Spectra to comply with all ROW code provisions and to pay delinquent user fees. Spectra later filed its answer, including counterclaims against the City that were essentially identical to its federal claims.
The City moved to dismiss Spectra's remaining federal claims, asserting that those claims were precluded by the state court's partial summary judgment order. The City had also filed a motion for attorney fees based on Spectra's reassertion of its § 1983 claim. The district court dismissed Spectra's remaining claims, concluding that the state court's order precluded them, and, alternatively, that abstention was appropriate under either Colorado River Water Conservation Dist. v. United States, 424 U.S. 800 (1976) or Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971). The court also denied the City's motion for attorney fees. Both parties appeal.2
First we address whether Spectra has properly appealed the dismissal of its § 1983 claim. The City argues that Spectra's § 1983 claim is not properly before us because Spectra's notice of appeal cites only the order dismissing its other claims. Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 3(c) requires a notice of appeal to "designate the judgment, order, or part thereof being appealed." Fed. R.App. P. 3(c)(1)(B). However, "there is a policy of liberal construction of notices of an appeal in situations where intent is apparent and there is no prejudice to the adverse party." McAninch v. Traders Nat. Bank, 779 F.2d 466, 467 n. 2 (8th Cir.1985) (internal quotation marks omitted). We believe Spectra's intent to appeal "was apparent given the procedural history of the case," particularly because its amended complaint expressly reserved its right to appeal the dismissal of its § 1983 claim, and "the parties have addressed the merits in their briefs." Id. This issue is therefore properly before us.
We review de novo the district court's dismissal of Spectra's § 1983 claim. See, e.g., Henley v. Brown, 686 F.3d 634, 639 (8th Cir.2012). Section 1983 authorizes claims against state actors to enforce rights created by federal statutes. "In order to seek redress through § 1983, however, a plaintiff must assert the violation of a federal right, not merely a violation of federal law." Blessing v. Freestone, 520 U.S. 329, 340 (1997) (emphasis in original). The Supreme Court explained in Gonzaga University v. Doe, 536 U.S. 273 (2002) that "if Congress wishes to create new rights enforceable under § 1983, it must do so in clear and unambiguous terms." 536 U.S. at 290. Here, we must determine whether § 253 authorizes a private right of action under § 1983. Section 253 provides in relevant part:
(a) In general
No State or local statute or regulation, or other State or local legal requirement, may prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the ability of any entity to provide any interstate or intrastate telecommunications service.
(b) State regulatory authority
Nothing in this section shall affect the ability of a State to impose, on a competitively neutral basis and consistent with section 254 of this title, requirements necessary to preserve and advance universal service, protect the public safety and welfare, ensure the continued quality of telecommunications services, and safeguard the rights of consumers.
(c) State and local government authority
Nothing in this section affects the authority of a State or local government to manage the public rights-of-way or to require fair and reasonable compensation from telecommunications providers, on a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory basis, for use of public rights-of-way on a nondiscriminatory basis, if the compensation required is publicly disclosed by such government.
(d) Preemption
If, after notice and an opportunity for public comment, the [Federal Communications] Commission determines that a State or local government has permitted or imposed any statute, regulation, or legal requirement that violates subsection (a) or (b) of this section, the Commission shall preempt the enforcement of such statute, regulation, or legal requirement to the extent necessary to correct such violation or inconsistency.
Our court has not yet decided whether § 253 authorizes a private right of action. See Level 3 Commc'ns, L.L.C. v. City of St. Louis, Mo., 477 F.3d 528, 534 (8th Cir.2007). The circuit courts which have addressed this issue are divided. The Sixth and Eleventh Circuits have concluded that § 253 implies a private right of action .3 See TCG Detroit v. City of Dearborn, 206 F.3d 618, 624 (6th Cir.2000); BellSouth Telecomm., Inc. v. Town of Palm Beach, 252 F.3d 1169, 1191 (11th Cir.2001). The Second, Fifth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits have reached the opposite conclusion. See NextG Networks of NY, Inc. v. City of New York, 513 F.3d 49, 52–53 (2d Cir.2008); Sw. Bell Tel., LP v. City of Houston, 529 F.3d 257, 261–62 (5th Cir.2008); Sprint Telephony PCS, L.P. v.. Cnty. of San Diego, 490 F.3d 700, 716–18 (9th Cir.2007); Qwest Corp. v. City of Santa Fe, New Mexico, 380 F.3d 1258, 1266–67 (10th Cir.2004). After examining their reasoning, we conclude that § 253 does not authorize a private right of action.
The Supreme Court has explained that "[f]or a statute to create [ ] private rights, its text must be phrased in terms of the persons benefited." Gonzaga, 536 U.S. at 284 (internal quotation marks omitted). Spectra argues that § 253 authorizes a private right of action for telecommunications providers because it refers to their ability to provide services. The language of § 253(a) is, however, phrased as a restriction on state and local governments, not as a conferral of benefits on telecommunications providers. Subsections (b) and (c) similarly address the rights retained by state and local governments, further demonstrating that those entities are the primary focus of § 253. See Qwest, 380 F.3d at 1267 n. 6. In addition, the preamble to the Act indicates that consumers are the intended beneficiaries of the statute. See Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub.L. No. 104–104, 110 Stat. 56 (1996). Telecommunications providers are therefore not within the class of individuals that § 253 protects, and even if they were, only "rights, not the broader or vaguer 'benefits' or 'interests,' [ ] may be enforced under the authority of [§ 1983]." Gonzaga, 536 U.S. at 283 (emphasis in original). We therefore conclude that the text of § 253 does not indicate that Congress intended to create a private right of action.
Spectra argues that other sections of the Act show that Congress intended to create a private right of action under § 253. Specifically, Spectra asserts that because § 255 of the Act expressly precludes private rights of action, we should infer from the absence of such language in § 253 that Congress intended to authorize them. See 47 U.S.C. § 255(f). We do not believe, however, that this inference establishes "in clear and unambiguous terms" that Congress intended to create a private right of action under § 253. Gonzaga, 536 U.S. at 290. Further, we note that where Congress has intended to create private rights of action under the Act, it did so explicitly. See, e.g., 47 U.S.C. §§ 252(e)(6), 258(b), 274(e).
Finally, the legislative history of § 253 does not indicate that Congress intended to create a private right of action. Spectra argues that discussions surrounding the legislature's decision—to limit the preemptive authority of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to violations of § 253(a) and (b)—show that Congress intended for telecommunications providers to challenge local right of way ordinances in federal court. See 47 U.S.C. § 253(d) ("If ․ the Commission determines that a State or local government has permitted or imposed any statute, regulation, or legal requirement that violates subsection (a) or (b) of this section, the Commission shall preempt the enforcement of such statute." (emphasis added)).4 The legislative history shows, however, that Congress restricted the FCC's preemptive authority to reduce the financial burden that state and local governments would face in defending their ordinances before the FCC. See. e.g., 141 Cong. Rec. 15,590 (1995). Such intent is inconsistent with a private right of action for damages by telecommunications providers like Spectra. See, e.g., Sw. Bell, 529 F.3d at 262.
We interpret the legislative history as, at most, contemplating preemptive challenges to local ordinances which may be asserted irrespective of whether the preempting statute authorizes a private right of action. See Qwest, 380 F.3d at 1266; Sprint, 490 F .3d at 708–09, 717; see also Wright Elec., Inc. v. Minn. State Bd. of Elec., 322 F.3d 1025, 1028 (8th Cir.2003). Notably, the congressional debate over § 253(d) focused on the extent of the FCC's jurisdiction to "preempt" or "enjoin" local regulatory actions. See, e.g., 141 Cong. Rec. 15,984 (1995). However, "it would obviously be incorrect to assume that a federal right of action pursuant to § 1983 exists every time a federal rule of law pre-empts state regulatory authority." Golden State Transit Corp. v. City of L.A., 493 U.S. 103, 108 (1989). We therefore conclude that § 253 does not authorize a private right of action for damages under § 1983 and that the district court did not err in dismissing Spectra's § 1983 claim.
We next address whether the district court properly abstained from deciding Spectra's remaining claims. We review a district court's decision to abstain for an abuse of discretion. See, e.g., Fru–Con Const. Corp. v. Controlled Air, Inc., 574 F.3d 527, 534 (8th Cir.2009). Here, the district court concluded that abstention was proper under both Colorado River and Younger. Because we conclude that the district court properly abstained under Colorado River, we need not discuss the potential issue of whether Younger abstention would have been appropriate.
Colorado River permits federal courts to decline to exercise jurisdiction over cases where "parallel" state court litigation is pending, meaning that there is "a substantial likelihood that the state proceeding will fully dispose of the claims presented in the federal court." Cottrell v. Duke, 737 F.3d 1238, 1245 (8th Cir.2013), quoting Fru–Con, 574 F.3d at 535. This rule is based on "considerations of wise judicial administration, giving regard to conservation of judicial resources and comprehensive disposition of litigation." Colorado River, 424 U.S. at 817 (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted). Nevertheless, federal courts have a "virtually unflagging obligation ․ to exercise the jurisdiction given them," id., which "does not evaporate simply because there is a pending state court action involving the same subject matter." Federated Rural Elec. Ins. Corp. v. Ark. Elec. Coops., Inc., 48 F.3d 294, 297 (8th Cir.1995). Rather, Colorado River abstention is appropriate only in "exceptional circumstances" where the surrender of federal jurisdiction is supported by "the clearest of justifications." Moses H. Cone Mem'l Hosp. v. Mercury Const. Corp., 460 U.S. 1, 25–26 (1983).
We examine six factors to determine whether exceptional circumstances exist warranting abstention:
(1) whether there is a res over which one court has established jurisdiction, (2) the inconvenience of the federal forum, (3) whether maintaining separate actions may result in piecemeal litigation, unless the relevant law would require piecemeal litigation and the federal court issue is easily severed, (4) which case has priority—not necessarily which case was filed first but a greater emphasis on the relative progress made in the cases, (5) whether state or federal law controls, especially favoring the exercise of jurisdiction where federal law controls, and (6) the adequacy of the state forum to protect the federal plaintiff's rights.
Federated Rural, 48 F.3d at 297. We do not apply these factors as a "mechanical checklist," but instead weigh these factors "in a pragmatic, flexible manner with a view to the realities of the case at hand." Moses H. Cone, 460 U.S. at 16, 21.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in abstaining. The first two factors are irrelevant in this case because there is no res at issue, and the state and federal fora are equally convenient. See Federated Rural, 48 F.3d at 297. The third factor, the risk of piecemeal litigation, is the "predominant factor" and is a significant concern here. Id.; Mountain Pure, LLC v. Turner Holdings, LLC, 439 F.3d 920, 926–27 (8th Cir.2006). Here, the state and federal cases involve the same issues, particularly in light of Spectra's state court counterclaims which are essentially identical to its federal claims. In this situation, the federal and state courts could reach conflicting opinions on the same issues, which could "cause unwarranted friction between state and federal courts, a result which is obviously undesirable and avoidable in this instance." Employers Ins. of Wausau v. Missouri Elec. Works, Inc., 23 F.3d 1372, 1375 (8th Cir.1994), abrogated on other grounds by Wilton v. Seven Falls Co., 515 U.S. 277 (1995).
Spectra argues that the risk of piecemeal litigation is insignificant here because its federal claims are easily severable from its state claims. Spectra's federal claims, however, seek a declaration that the ROW code is preempted by § 253, and the legality of the ROW code is a central issue in the state court litigation. Although Spectra's preemption claim provides an independent basis for invalidating the ROW code, that claim is not "easily severable from the merits of the underlying disputes." Moses H. Cone, 460 U.S. at 21. Accordingly, we do not believe that "resolution of these suits necessarily requires piecemeal litigation" and conclude that this factor is significant here. Gov't Employees Ins. Co. v. Simon, 917 F.2d 1144, 1149 (8th Cir.1990).
Spectra also argues that there is no risk of inconsistent rulings by the state and federal courts here because each court will give preclusive effect to the other's rulings. The state court action, however, includes several defendants who are not parties to the federal lawsuit, and "[o]ur cases have advanced [the policies underlying Colorado River] by favoring the most complete action." Federated Rural, 48 F.3d at 298; see also Employers Ins. of Wausau, 23 F.3d at 1375; U.S. Fid. & Guar. Co. v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc., 21 F.3d 259, 263 (8th Cir.1994). Here, the state court action is more complete because it includes all parties and claims. We therefore conclude that the third factor favors abstention.
The fourth factor similarly favors abstention because the state litigation has priority over the federal case. The state case was filed first, and the state court was thus the first to obtain jurisdiction over the parties. See Colorado River, 424 U.S. at 818. Further, the state litigation is more advanced because the state court has addressed the merits of the ROW code claims and has entered partial summary judgment on those claims. The federal court on the other hand has not yet addressed the merits of Spectra's claims. Compare Mountain Pure, 439 F.3d at 927. We therefore conclude that the fourth factor also favors abstention.
We acknowledge that the fifth factor weighs against abstention because "the presence of federal-law issues must always be a major consideration weighing against surrender [of federal jurisdiction]." Moses H. Cone, 460 U.S. at 26. Here, as Spectra notes, the federal litigation involves a question of federal preemption. Nevertheless, "[n]o one factor is necessarily determinative" in assessing whether abstention is appropriate. Colorado River, 424 U.S. at 818. We do not believe that this issue warrants reversal, particularly because, as Spectra concedes, the state court can resolve all of Spectra's federal claims.5 See Wolfson v. Mut. Ben. Life Ins. Co., 51 F.3d 141, 146 (8th Cir.1995), abrogated on other grounds by Quackenbush v. Allstate Ins. Co., 517 U.S. 706 (1996). Further, the sixth Colorado River factor also favors abstention because the state court can adequately protect Spectra's interests. See, e.g., U.S. Fid. & Guar. Co., 21 F.3d at 263. We therefore conclude, after "taking into account both the obligation to exercise jurisdiction and the combination of factors counselling against that exercise," that the district court did not abuse its discretion in abstaining. Colorado River, 424 U.S. at 818–19. Because we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in abstaining, we need not decide whether the state court's partial summary judgment order precludes Spectra's remaining claims.
We finally address the City's cross appeal of the district court's denial of its motion for attorney fees. We review an order denying attorney fees for an abuse of discretion. See Flowers v. Jefferson Hosp. Ass'n, 49 F.3d 391, 392 (8th Cir.1995). "[T]he relevant purpose of § 1988 [attorney fees] is to relieve defendants of the burdens associated with fending off frivolous litigation." Fox v. Vice, 131 S.Ct. 2205, 2215 (2011). Thus, "[a] court may award prevailing defendants attorney's fees under section 1988 only if the plaintiff's claim was frivolous, unreasonable, or groundless, or the plaintiff continued to litigate after it clearly became so." Flowers, 49 F.3d at 392 (internal quotations marks and alterations omitted).
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the City's first request for attorney fees because the question of whether § 253 creates a private right of action was unresolved in our circuit, the other circuit courts are divided on that issue, and the parties presented "reasonable arguments on both sides." Eisenrich v. Minneapolis Retail Meat Cutters & Food Handlers Pension Plan, 574 F.3d 644, 651 (8th Cir.2009). The district court also did not abuse its discretion by denying the City's renewed fee request because Spectra did not continue actively to pursue its § 1983 claim after the district court dismissed it, but simply reasserted it for the purpose of preserving its rights on appeal. The City therefore did not need to "fend off" Spectra's renewed § 1983 claim. See Fox, 131 S.Ct. at 2215.
Section 253 does not create an individual private right of action and the district court therefore did not err in dismissing Spectra's § 1983 claim. In addition, the district court did not abuse its discretion in abstaining under Colorado River or in denying the City's motion for attorney fees. The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
1. The Honorable Dean Whipple, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.
2. All pending motions by the parties to supplement the record are denied.
3. Notably, "[a] court's role in discerning whether personal rights exist in the § 1983 context should [ ] not differ from its role in discerning whether personal rights exist in the implied right of action context." Gonzaga, 536 U.S. at 285. Thus, cases addressing implied private rights of action under federal statutes are applicable here.
4. The Sixth Circuit case on which Spectra relies concluded that § 253(c) provides a private right of action for telecommunications providers, similarly noting that § 253(d) withholds FCC preemptive authority for violations of § 253(c). See TCG, 206 F.3d at 624. Our court has previously concluded, however, that § 253(c) is a safe harbor to § 253(a) violations that, "standing alone, cannot form the basis of a cause of action against a state or local government." Level 3, 477 F.3d at 532 (internal quotation marks omitted).
5. In fact the state court's partial summary judgment order appears to foreshadow the resolution of the preemption issue by its determination that the ROW code user fees are valid under "any [ ] law."
MURPHY, Circuit Judge.

I'm finding that I don't like competitive games in general, which is a problem because like, all games are competitive. There are maybe 12 cooperative games.
Guess I gotta try to figure out how to make more cooperative games.
@Alamantus competitive in nature or that they bring out competition? I have loads of coop games where people are working together. Most of those however bring out the alpha player. 😕 that is why I don't care for them too much.
@robert I'm not sure... I think competitive in nature because whether I'm winning or losing, someone's not happy about being last or not winning. Maybe it's just that my family is really competitive and I'm not, but it just doesn't feel fun to lose because they're really in your face about it and it doesn't feel good to win because they act like it's ruined their day. I dunno
@Alamantus Interesting topic; my family happens to be very encouraging whenever someone else is winning and playing well. They tend to be very positive. I can see how if it wasn't it could be seen as a drag.

The Kauai Chapter's Blue Water Task Force volunteers braved storm conditions last Saturday to collect water samples after heavy rains had saturated the island for over 24 hours on November 10th. All of the stream and rivers around the island were pouring brown water runoff into the ocean, and flooding along the northern part of the island closed roads and prevented the volunteers from reaching some of their regularly monitored sites. Brown Water Advisories (BWAs) issued by the Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) covered many beaches on Kauai warning people to stay out of the water. See all current beach advisories in Hawaii on the HDOH Clean Water Branch's website here.
Brown Water Advisories issued by HDOH warn - Rain has resulted in stormwater runoff entering into coastal waters. The public is advised to stay out of flood waters and storm water runoff due to possible overflowing cesspools, sewer, manholes, pesticides, animal fecal matter, dead animals, pathogens, chemicals, and associated flood debris. Not all coastal areas may be impacted by runoff, however, if the water is brown stay out. Continue to practice good personal hygiene and follow-up with your primary care physician if you have any health concerns.
As it turned out, the test results collected by the Surfrider volunteers showed extremely high and dangerous levels of fecal indicating bacteria at most of the sites tested during last weekend's heavy rains. Four sites, two located where streams discharge onto the beach and into the ocean and another two out in the surf zone exceeded the maximum limit that the tests can record of 24,196 enterococcus bacteria per 100 ml seawater. The State uses a bacteria limit of 130 enterococcus to issue health advisories to warn the public of high bacteria levels and potential health exposure. Last weekend, seven of the sites tested by Surfrider were 100X higher than that health standard, and only 5 of the 31 sites tested were below the health standard and considered safe to swim.
Generally, state testing is suspended while Brown Water Advisories are active, so the extremely high bacteria levels measured by the Kauai Blue Water Task Force are eye opening indeed! These alarming results made the front cover of Kauai's local newspaper - TheGardenIsland.com. Visit the Blue Water Task Force website to see a map of all sampling sites monitored and all water quality data generated by the Kauai Surfrider Chapter.
While the HDOH maintains an excellent website where the public can go to view the State's water quality results and any active Brown Water or Sewage Spill Advisories, many people are not aware of this resource or know to check it before they go to the beach. Posting a physical sign at the beach, warning people as they enter the area, is the best way to notify the public and prevent any potential exposure to polluted water that could cause them to get sick. Surfrider will continue to work with the Clean Water Branch to help them build awareness in residents and tourists alike of the dangerous conditions that exist when Brown Water Advisories are issued and to facilitate the posting of signs at the beach during rain events and at beaches where bacteria levels are nearly always high where polluted streams discharge into the ocean. People need to know this important information so they can take steps to protect their families health.

1963 Holden EH Standard - Reader Resto
Ironically this base-model gem is rarer than a Prem!
1963 Holden EH Standard Resto
This story might have started a long time ago when I was a kid. The EH coming out was a big thing at the time, when I was 13. It had the new 'big' engine – the 149 or 179 – and to me, it was the best-looking shape to come out of Holden. Things were different then – cars were more expensive compared to what people were earning. So if you had a new EH in the driveway, you were doing very well indeed.
It's not certain that I was really looking for a car at the time, but I was playing about on the computer and came across this one. The ad said it was an early car, with number 49M stamped on it, so in theory the 49th example out of Melbourne.
This wasn't a perfect car. It was all there, but it had been modified over time and needed a few things fixed. When you saw the body it looked pretty good. A little rust on the doors and a little on the guards. But when the body was dismantled it was a different story. It had the rust that's in all of these old cars.
When it got here, I started to pull it all apart. That was the easy bit! Every single bolt came out, it was down to the subframe and body shell. Eventually I came to the realisation that I couldn't put it back together again and had to enlist the help of a mate, Mark Sandwith, who restores cars for a living.
As it turned out, this was a much bigger job than we first expected. Everything has been done. If it's not new, it's been re conditioned.
For example, while it had been fitted with new floor pans at some stage, they hadn't been done properly and the new metal was overlapping the original. So out they came and new panels were fitted. The rear parcel shelf turned out to be a big headache, as the original had been cut to take big speakers. This is a piece you can't get new, so we eventually sourced a donor part.
That area, plus the lower doors, bottom of the front guards, the firewall, beaver panel and rear quarters are all rust spots. Window frames can also be an issue. Mark found a problem with the bolts at the bottom of the frames and, being a fitter and turner by trade, was able to make up a new set. We also replaced the front guards – one is a new unit, while the other is a good used item.
This car was originally a Standard, but had been dressed up over the years, with a 179 engine, a white roof and an HD front end. We decided to take it back to stock. The Standard was a very 'plain' car: one colour only, no chrome trim strips and rubber floor mats. We did add a correct period heater, which was a dealer-fitted option back then. Mark did the paint, Amberley Blue is the colour and it was applied as a two-pack.
As for the engine, we got a little bit lucky and found a replacement 149 that had been sitting in a shed for the best part of 40 years. It was in pretty good shape, but we decided to do a top-to-toe rebuild anyway. It was stripped down to the crank – which was machined – and we put in new bearings, camshaft, plus valves on hardened seats so it could accept unleaded fuel. Parts availability was pretty good, except for one thing: pistons!
We could have left it on the original bores, as they just needed a hone, but the only factory set left in captivity was 40 thou oversize. They were discovered gathering dust on a parts shelf somewhere – it was a lucky find. That engine is now whisper quiet and starts almost instantly.
The three-speed transmission is a column shift, with no synchro on first. So you have to be at a complete standstill to engage it. We put new bearings through the transmission.
The final touch under the bonnet was the fitting of a new wiring loom.
Inside we managed to retrim the car with materials that look right, and even include the original stampings on the door cards. Rubber mats turned out to be pretty easy to find, as were most of the panel and door rubbers.
I guess the whole project took more resources than I originally expected, but that's a common story when it comes to old cars. My advice for anyone planning on doing something similar is to join a club, as the people there will have a lot of invaluable knowledge.
This EH was well worth the trouble. They're a light and simple car and I love the shape of them, so it's not going anywhere!
1. Looks presentable - it looked pretty good on the day of pick-up.
2. Don't look up! Well, it's a bit tired but about right for its age.
3. Different tastes - okay, so the lairy gearknob and suspect seat covers have to go.
4. It's all there - kind of, but the old dear had been given a 179 transplant at some stage.
5. What a find. This 149 had been sitting in someone's shed for 40 years.
6. Complete - the more you look the more complete it seems. It got a rebuild anyway.

Meatless Monday Attends the Food as Medicine Summit in NYC
December 11 2017 Meatless Monday
read full recipe » On Thursday, November 30, Meatless Monday participated in the Food as Medicine Summit held at the Hunter College New York City Food Policy Center. The summit featured expert speakers who discussed how problematic food habits have caused the number and prevalence of chronic diseases to rise. Therefore, food must also be the solution, according to the summits mission. Meatless Monday founder Sid Lerner (second from left) with (from left) Stephen Ritz, Dr. Robert Graham, and Michel Nischan. Photo by Charles Platkin. The summit kicked off with a welcome from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who has been outspoken in his support for Meatless Monday and healthy eating habits in NYC schools. The former police officer was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2016 but was able to put the disease into remission by switching to a healthier lifestyle that included more plant-based foods. He has been a strong proponent of bringing Meatless Monday to several schools in Brooklyn. The opening keynote address was delivered by Dr. Robert Graham, a co-founder of FRESH Med NYC who promotes the idea of food as medicine, saying there should not be just a pill for every ill. Graham discussed how the top 10 causes of death are related to food and diet. His mission stands by food as a remedy and uses dietary changes as the first approach in managing illness at FRESH Med NYC. Other speakers included Michel Nischan, chef and CEO of Wholesome Wave, and Stephen Ritz, CEO of Green Bronx Machine. Their panel discussed the impact of healthy food on children and its availability in schools. Nischans son was diagnosed with diabetes at age five; Ritz pointed out the difficulty in getting good produce in his South Bronx neighborhood. An emphasis was placed on not only getting kids interested in healthy eating at a young age but also making it fun for them to learn about it. Meatless Monday President Peggy Neu spoke to the significance of meeting education with action and putting good ideas into practice. The healthcare industry is the front line in the battle to better inform and direct people towards more healthy lifestyles and diets. Rather than using band-aid remedies for chronic illnesses, Neu said, these diseases can and should be prevented with better eating habits. Neus takeaway on the discussion of food as medicine: we need new heroes and better food choices need to be made culturally relevant. The bottom line of the Food as Medicine Summit was keeping people interested, keeping food exciting, and - most importantly - keeping people educated. The post Meatless Monday Attends the Food as Medicine Summit in NYC appeared first on Meatless Monday.

His name is famous, but he is not. But he's hoping to change all that soon.
For John Hackleman Jr., or "Handsome Hack," as he is known, the road out of his famous father's shadow begins Friday, Oct. 25, when he makes his professional MMA debut.
At the age of 31.
"I am freaking 31 years old," Hackleman Jr. told SciFighting.com. "It is just time. I am old, but not too old to do something."
Hackleman Jr. is set to fight Edward Hyman at Bamma USA's BadBeat 12 at the Commerce Casino in Commerce, California.
His father John Hackleman founded the legendary "Pit" in Arroyo Grande, California. The Pit has been home to fighters such as Chuck Liddell, Court McGee and Tim Kennedy. Since he was a boy, Hackleman has been surrounded by fighters and the fight culture. He got a late start.
"I didn't really want to do it," Hackleman Jr. said. "I was really forced into it as a kid. It wasn't something I really enjoyed."
From the beginning, the expectations were high.
"There's a lot of pressure, being the son of my dad," Hackleman Jr. said. "He's pretty well known."
Even though he's making a pro debut, Hackleman Jr. is not new to competition. He's had eight amateur MMA fights and 15 kickboxing matches. He's sparred recently with Liddell and Glover Teixeira.
"I know it's different when you are sparring, But I have more ring time than people think," Hackleman Jr. said.
For a long time, it was enough to just fight and not worry about a profession.
"I never thought of it as a career," Hackleman Jr. said. "I thought I could fight for free. I really just liked to fight and I didn't want to get into street fights or get into trouble. I would have been happy with amateur fights and fighting for free."
After his last amateur fight, however, a conversation with his father changed his mind. He said his father told him if he's going to fight, he might as well make some money doing it.
"I want to be a world champion," Hackleman Jr. said. "I have a goal and a desire inside. I know I can knock anyone in the world out."
Outside the cage, Hackleman Jr. certainly seems to love what he does. He trains six days a week. Spends quality time with his friends. He appreciates life, as evidenced by the plethora of skin, sweat and smiles on display on his Facebook page. These days he's learned to handle the pressure of having a famous, demanding dad.
"He's an alpha male and he's accomplished a lot and he has his views on the way to do things in life," he said. "I try to give him as much respect as I can, respect that he deserves.
The elder Hackleman told his son it was time to be a "professional fighter" because it was embarrassing for both of them for him not to be.
"He was pushing for it," Hackleman Jr. said.
Hackleman Jr. doesn't know a lot about his opponent Friday night, but he's training hard, six days a week at his father's gym and Paragon in Santa Maria, California. He's known in amateur circles as a massive heavy hitter, which has been a trademark of Pit fighters.
"I am a big, strong 185-pounder," Hackleman Jr. said. "He's going to try to take me down. I used to put so much pressure on not getting taken down, but now I don't care. I am ready to go out there and have fun. I am going to stay relaxed and have fun and put on a show."
Hackleman Jr. said he's about more than power.
"Everyone associates The Pit with just knocking people out and I want to break that stereotype because I want to be known as a well-rounded mixed martial artist," he said. "I want to be known as a well-rounded fighter.
No matter what happens, Hackleman Jr. said he is not turning pro just to turn pro. He has big dreams.
"I am not even thinking about not winning," he said. "This isn't just a one-time fight. This has been a journey. I plan on doing this for awhile. I am not looking past this guy I am going to go out there and give it a 110 percent. My goal is to be a professional fighter and be a successful professional fighter. I want to be a world champion

Hi, my name is Bear!
I am an incredibly sweet two and a half year old Blue Heeler/Aussie/Corgi mix (to my knowledge). I am a tripod meaning I am missing a portion of my front leg however that doesn't slow me down one bit and I am able to get around just fine. It is believed that my leg is a birth deformity.
I am very loving towards all people I have met including kids. I have even began the process towards becoming a therapy dog one day! I love to stand on my hind legs and give a gentle, one-armed hug, while looking up and smiling at you. I am a superstar snuggler and love to squeezes my little body into every curve of yours and melt into you.
I must be in a home as an only dog; this is my only stipulation. I promises to make up for that by giving my future forever home all the love in the world. If you are looking for a new best friend and would like to meet me, I would love to meet you! Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more info and to set up an intro.

text: The bridge will be equipped with an on board nrf25 allowing communication with the Bliss-Box products. Due to limitations of BlueTooth and the fact many consoles do not have BlueTooth, the decision of RF to RF linking was made. Much like the way most RF communication works (wavebird controller) there will be a channel selection. The Bridge will come with the RF built in but also work via the Bliss-Box usb cable (LLAPI mode). So it will not be required but an option. As for Bliss-Box products, a cheap adapter will be needed along with a battery or power source (depending on power requirement testing).With the two linked we will have a wireless option for any retro controller on any gaming hardware (Or at least that is the goal).

Join the West End Museum on Thursday, December 6 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. to hear a firsthand account of the demolition of the West End from Tom Hynes, an individual who spent his college summers working on the West End demolition team for Duane Wrecking.
Hynes will speak about his memories—the sights, smells, sounds, and feelings he experienced—and share personal photographs he took in the midst of the backbreaking, grueling work. This free event will also feature a Q&A session, and light refreshments will be served.
Hynes describes the work as grueling process. "My first day on the job was torture. I nearly collapsed with the work of pulling scrap iron out of the burning inferno of debris on the site. Tripping over brick bats as the bulldozer pushed the debris into the fire—creating acrid smoke and an occasional muffled explosion. I was oblivious to the fact that the debris had been someone's home just a few months before. I can imagine the old West End would now be a thriving multi-cultural neighborhood had urban renewal not taken its toll."
Tom Hynes is now co-chairman and chief executive officer of Colliers International's Boston office, a full-service commercial real estate firm. He is the nephew of former Boston Mayor John B. Hynes, first cousin to the late "dean of Boston TV news" Jack Hynes, and second cousin to developer John Hynes of Boston Global Investors.

No one plans on getting injured, although most people have health insurance to help pay for the expenses associated with such an event. When New Mexico residents are injured by a dangerous condition on another person's property, they may be able to pursue a lawsuit to help them recover financial compensation to cover expenses associated with the injuries.
How does one proceed with such a claim? There are some basics elements of a premises liability claim that need to be established. First, the status of the visitor to the property must be determined. A guest or invitee to the property is present at the property owner's request. Therefore, a visitor with this status has the strongest standing to proceed with a lawsuit if an incident occurs.
A licensee has the consent of the property owner to be on the property but may not have been specifically invited to the property for a specific purpose. Lastly, a trespasser on the property was not invited to the property and did not have the property owner's consent to be there. Thus, for a trespasser, only the smallest exceptions would lead to a strong claim.
After the status of the visitor, the most important part of a premises liability claim is the nature of the dangerous condition on the property. How long was it there? Did the property owner know about it and fail to fix it? Was it foreseeable that a visitor to the property might be injured by the dangerous property condition? These, among other questions, must be answered in determining the strength of a premises liability claim.
If you have been injured in an accident on another's property, it might be helpful to contact an attorney to address any questions you have.

UK's first NHS Trust-approved complementary therapies school students graduate! The very first training school in the UK approved by the Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust to offer training in complementary therapies to help people with a diagnosis of cancer was launched in North Yorkshire last year. The Natural Health School is based at Harrogate District Hospital's Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre, and provides a range of courses at different grades and for different levels of experience. The School was created to improve the availability of complementary therapies for patients with complex health needs. Very few places in the UK provide complementary therapy treatments for people with cancer and other complex conditions, yet the physical and emotional benefits can be huge. Courses include OFQUAL awarded programmes such as the Level 3 ITEC diploma courses in Reflexology, Aromatherapy and Holistic Massage. The core skills taught on these courses are not specific to patients with cancer, and can be applied to any person wishing to have that treatment. The school also offers Continuing Professional Development and short courses in Palliative Care, Daoyin Tao (a unique blend of Chinese acupressure and Western massage techniques), EMMETT Therapy for Pain Management, the Bowen Technique, (a form of massage) and Self-Care to name but a few. A unique 'Certificate in Complementary Therapies' has also been created for Complementary Therapists qualified at Level 3 who wish to develop their skills and practice with cancer patients to the standards required by NHS organisations. Unlike any other training currently available, students are required to achieve set competencies during 100 hours of clinically supervised practice within healthcare settings to ensure safe, confident and competent practitioners. The evening of 17th October was to mark the graduation ceremony of the first cohort of students to complete the course and achieve their certificates. Certificates were awarded by Sarah grant, Macmillan Information and Wellbeing Services Manager and Steve Russell, Chief Executive, Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust to: ITEC level 3 graduates in Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Massage Graduates with the NHS certificate in complementary therapies, occupational health and Cancer pathways Graduates of the Certificate in cancer and palliative care for complementary therapists Special thanks must go to Fiona Adamson and staff at The Granby Care Home for providing a beautiful venue for our first graduation ceremony and education facilities for our students, and Matthew Mackaness and Sarah Johnson, Rudding Park Hotel and Spa for providing outstanding support and education facilities for so many of our courses. Special awards were given to; Sharon Shove for Aromatherapist of the year by Matthew Mackaness, Director and Sarah Johnson Spa manager, Rudding Park Elizabeth Clarke for student of the year by Fiona Adamson, Business Development Manager, The Granby Care Home Melanie Lagan for Academic Achievement by Paul Simpson, Cancer Services Manager and Noreen Hawkshaw, Lead Cancer Nurse The next group of students commenced their learning this month so we are looking forward to next year's graduation and congratulating the students on their achievements. https://www.brighterkind.com/care-homes/the-granby https://www.ruddingpark.co.uk/

For Immediate Release:
September 1,2014. DUBLIN, IRELAND – This is the Irishtown, Dublin and Ireland's supporters song and sound for the Irish Soccer Team in the upcoming EURO 2016 Qualifiers which starts on September 7 vs. Georgia. EURO 2016 SONG FOR IRELAND – 'KING OF CAMBRIDGE' is the result of a number of events which started back in November 2013.
ALAN 'KING OF CAMBRIDGE' KINSELLA (who attained his TITLE during his schoolboy career playing for CAMBRIDGE BOYS FC 1975-1981) made a bold bid in November 2013 by APPLYING for the vacant REPUBLIC OF IRELAND MANAGER'S position following Trapattoni's exit.
In early December the 'King of Cambridge' amazingly received an OFFICIAL FAI WRITTEN RESPONSE informing him of his unsuccessful bid for the manager's position.
The FAI response sent shockwaves throughout the Ringsend/Irishtown Community. A local FLYER was produced outlining King's story under the heading of IRISHTOWN SPORTS.
Suggestions in the meantime were raised in regards to arranging a CHARITY EVENT called KING KINSELLA'S WALK which was duly undertaken on May 5, 2014 in aid of ST. VINCENT'S FOUNDATION/NEUROLOGY, King Alan's charity of choice. Alan himself suffered a stroke in 2013 and has since been inspired to help others. The Charity event raised just under E2000.
"Words cannot describe our journey. It has been so uplifting for myself and my family. I want to do more to support the Irish team and most of all to support St. Vincent's Hospital and its Neurology Department." – Alan 'King' Kinsella
The King's story was published in the April edition of 'IRISH WORLD' NEWSPAPER in USA, circulating mainly around Boston and New York.
A SECOND FLYER was subsequently published by IRISHTOWN SPORTS, continuing The King's story and also featured other famous footballers from the Ringsend/Irishtown area.
"The 'King of Cambridge' is a passionate football enthusiast and his charity walk for St. Vincent's Foundation Neurology is to be commended. I've been following the King's story from abroad and it has made me smile and remember about the goodness and fun in Irish people."
– Kevin Grogan Republic of Ireland Under 16 EURO Winner 1998 and former Manchester United Youth Team.
While all of the above was taking King along his journey, the SONG AND VIDEO of EURO 2016 SONG FOR IRELAND was produced by John Munnelly and lyrics by Michael Behan. To date King's song has over 3350 HITS on YOU TUBE.
In August 2014 the The King's story was published in the local Ringsend/Irishtown newspaper 'NEWS FOUR' and Munnelly did a live launch of the song at an event in Irishtown House, Dublin 4.

Gary Smith, co-owner of the Delta Blue restaurant and blues club in Lake Placid, said he was inspired to launch the festival in 2015 after hearing Dugger deliver a heartfelt plea that Americans do more to talk with each other about the things dividing society, and do better to elevate the human condition among each of us.

You're beginning to stride into your purpose. Work is no longer a struggle, and your Master Teacher is guiding you along the way.
The more aligned you become with your life's proper path, the more your days will flow with ease. You'll lose track of all barriers as you go with the flow and throw your heart and soul into your efforts.
Your dedication will pay off in the long run, but even this isn't important; your efforts are their own reward. Doing what you love so well and so faithfully fulfills you. Your challenge is to resist the temptation to push yourself to exhaustion.
Remain measured and steady, and don't overlook the importance of taking a day of rest at least once a week. Your Master Teacher is pleased with your progress, but reminds you that even though you may love your work and feel that you could work forever, your body, and mind do get fatigued.
Develop the wisdom to know when to step away and refresh your soul. Your Master Teacher's message: 'Pace Yourself.'

In part 1 of this series, we discussed open-source intelligence (OSINT), how it's being used, and how it can help an organization in their information security operations.
In this part will be discussing a few tools and techniques used to gather open source intelligence and then some examples of analysis to make sense of the information collected.
Polish Your Google-Fu
Believe it or not, search engines are a vast source of OSINT, and you don't need special tools to access them. Google Hacking is an information gathering technique used by attackers by entering "advanced" Google queries.
These search queries can be used to identify vulnerabilities in web applications, gather information for a particular target or targets, discover messages disclosing sensitive information, or discover files containing credentials and other sensitive data.
In short, Google will reveal many things, if one knows what to look for.
For example, someone can access publicly accessible phpMyAdmin installations by typing this query on Google.
"phpMyAdmin" "running on" inurl:"main.php"
This is a snapshot of the Google search result.
Another example is using the filetype parameter to limit search to specific file extensions. For example, one can find numerous SQL file backups using the following query.
Backup filetype:sql
Note that there should be no space between "filetype:" and "sql"
This site has several examples of Google search parameters that will uncover a lot of interesting detail, if one has an idea of what to look for.
Spiderfoot! Spiderfoot!
SpiderFoot is an OSINT gathering automation tool. Its goal is to automate the process of gathering intelligence about a given target.
Once the program is installed and running, start a new scan by entering a descriptive name and the target you want to scan before clicking New Scan.
Spiderfoot will run and will visualize all the elements that have been found. This allows someone to get a general idea of a target's infrastructure.
This data can also be exported to CSV format for further analysis.
Hold the Onions!
Another OSINT gathering tool available is OnionScan. OnionScan is a tool used to search for hidden services in the dark web looking for potential data leaks. The question in mind when this was made was: Are dark web sites as anonymous as people think they are?
To answer this question, Mascherari Press released OnionScan reports visualizing the scan results, and they discovered that the Dark Web is less anonymous than they thought it was.
Apart from links (green) they also looked at relationships detected through SSH public keys (blue), FTP banners (pink) and Apache mod_status leaks (red). Below is their visualization of the different connections between dark web sites.
(Image source: https://mascherari.press/onionscan-report-june-2016/)
For example, of the 5600 active sites that they scanned during June 2016–23% shared a single unique SSH Key, which means they can all be linked to one hosting group — Freedom Hosting II.
This lack of diversity did not bode well for the dark web as Freedom Hosting II was compromised last February 2017.
This only shows how OSINT tools can used to create relational maps of the web and, with the proper link analysis, show the relationships between seemingly unconnected resources and show a clearer picture.
Now what?
These are just a few of the common OSINT tools available online; many more tools and methods exist and are ready for you to use. In the next and final part of this series, we will close out the topic with a demonstration on how OSINT can be integrated with an internal security program and help with beefing up security for both infrastructure and operations.

This is an old revision of the document!
A dedicated external data mover node is available, called tgv.uark.edu from campus and dm.uark.edu from the world. It should be used for moving data to and from the clusters and the Razor parallel file systems. tgv/dm is configured with a 10Gb/s network connection and a dedicated 21TB storage system mounted at
/local_storage. Regular login shells are blocked. The allowed protocols are
scp (secure copy)
sftp (secure ftp)
To upload a data file from the current directory on your local desktop machine to your /storage directory on razor:
pawel@localdesktop$# scp localfile.dat firstname.lastname@example.com:/storage/pwolinsk/
To download a data file from your /storage directory on razor to the current directory on your local desktop machine:
pawel@localdesktop$# scp email@example.com:/storage/pwolinsk/remotefile.dat .
You will also have a staging directory on tgv/dm called /local_storage/$USER/. A new Globus Online instance on tgv/dm is in preparation, and login shells are available for special situations such as batch
wget from an http server. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you need that.
Windows OS does not include Secure Copy or Secure FTP tools. There are multiple file transfer clients available for download. The most popular command line client is pscp.exe available here:
To transfer files using pscp.exe download and save pscp.exe to your Windows machine. Then open a terminal (i.e. Command Prompt, under "Start→All Programs→Accessories→Command Prompt") and specify the full path to the location of the downloaded pscp.exe file followed by two arguments <source> and <destination>. Either one or both could be located on remote machines (host:file) or local files (file). For example:
C:\Users\Pawel> c:\Users\Pawel\Downloads\pscp.exe filetoupload.txt firstname.lastname@example.com:
The code above uses secure copy protocol to upload a file "filetoupload.txt" to the home directory of user pwolinsk on razor.uark.edu.
A dedicated internal node named bridge is set aside for the purpose of moving data between storage systems of the Razor and Trestles clusters. The bridge node has home, storage and scratch file systems from both Razor and Trestles nodes mounted under these directories:
Trestles file systems
/trestles/home/ /trestles/storage/ /trestles/scratch/ These are also mounted at: /home /storage /scratch
When you login to bridge, you will be located in your Trestles home. Also please recall that the Trestles persistent /scratch/$USER partition is being phased out and will in the future be only /scratch/$PBS_JOBID for each batch job.
Razor file systems
/razor/home/ /razor/storage/ /razor/scratch/
scp to the bridge node is possible from either cluster, we recommend logging into bridge node directly and using the
cp or
mv commands to move files , thus using 40Gb/s Infiniband instead of
scp using 1Gb/s ethernet:
tres-l1:pwolinsk:$ ssh bridge Last login: Fri Feb 19 14:03:31 2016 from tres-l1 No Modulefiles Currently Loaded. bridge:pwolinsk:$ cp /trestles/home/pwolinsk/memusage /razor/home/pwolinsk/ bridge:pwolinsk:$ exit logout Connection to bridge closed. tres-l1:pwolinsk:$
bridge is not reachable from outside the clusters, please use tgv/dm. A data transfer node to the Trestles file systems is planned.
