Recent developments have resolved many of the previously
open questions concerning allegedly contaminated Chinese drywall as to both
liability and insurance coverage. Settlement efforts by one of the primary
manufacturers have also helped provide clarity and predictability. In this
Commentary, Nicholas Insua, Jason Alexander and Michael Smith summarize the
problem, the governmental response, and litigation trends stemming from
Chinese-manufactured drywall as the issue moves towards resolution. They write:
I. The Chinese Drywall Problem
In the mid-2000s home building soared
across the United States, fueled in part by a strong economy and in part by
reconstruction in the wake of several devastating hurricanes. The housing boom
created a shortage of American made drywall, and contractors turned to China to
meet their demand. Unfortunately, much of the Chinese drywall differed from
American drywall. Chinese drywall contained excess hydrogen sulfide, sometimes
in quantities 100 times greater than its American made equivalent. The excess
hydrogen sulfide allegedly led to a spectrum of problems ranging from an odor
of rotten eggs to the corrosion of copper wiring and other metals and fixtures
in the homes in which the drywall was installed. Further, those who came in
contact with the product complained of deleterious health effects including
itchy eyes, cough, bloody noses, persistent headaches and respiratory
Complaints began to surface in late 2008,
although it is now clear that problem drywall was used in the construction of
houses starting in 2001 and ending as late as 2009. In early 2009, the Consumer
Products Safety Commission ("CPSC") was appointed to lead an
investigation with assistance from the Environmental Protection Agency, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Federal Trade Commission, among
other federal agencies. To date, the CPSC has logged almost 4,000 complaints
arising from 43 states, as well as the District of Columbia, American Samoa and
Puerto Rico. Although the problem is geographically widespread, the vast
majority of complaints have come from the Deep South, with over 50% of the complaints
originating in Florida.
C. Chinese Drywall in the Courts
The influx of Chinese drywall and
resulting problems led to a host of litigation. At the base level, homeowners
sued the contractors who constructed their homes and sought coverage from their
homeowner insurers. Contractors sued their subcontractors, suppliers, and
general liability insurers. In some instances, insurers sued their
policyholders in declaratory judgment actions seeking rulings that they have no
defense or indemnity obligations. Suppliers sought coverage from their insurers
even as they brought suit against the manufacturers. Liability moved its way up
the chain. Time has brought some clarity to the picture, with liability now
resting largely on manufacturers (where they have acknowledged the American
litigation), and in some instances on insurers, depending on the exact language
of the policy issued, and the state in which the case was litigated. This
section examines the major developments on the legal front of the Chinese
drywall problem.
A. Multi-District Litigation Generally
On June 15, 2009, faced with an avalanche
of drywall complaints, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation
transferred all federal cases alleging damages from Chinese-manufactured
drywall to the Eastern District of Louisiana, under the care of Judge Eldon
Fallon. Multidistrict Litigation ("MDL") is enabled by 28 U.S.C. § 1407, which states that MDL is appropriate
where "civil actions involving one or more common questions of fact are
pending in different districts." The Judicial Panel's website describes
the purposes of this "centralization" procedure as "to avoid
duplication of discovery, to prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings, and to
conserve the resources of the parties, their counsel and the judiciary." Importantly,
all "transferred actions not terminated in the transferee district are
remanded to their originating transferor districts" for purposes of trial.
The Chinese Drywall litigation was perfect
fodder for Multidistrict Litigation. As of November 16, 2011, the MDL comprised
304 cases, with 41 additional cases already settled, dismissed, or otherwise
disposed of. As will be discussed, the MDL has resolved important issues of
fact, and helped clarify the liability picture in this otherwise murky and
confused situation. Although MDL does not include cases originated in state
courts, even those cases frequently rely on the reasoning and factual findings
of Judge Fallon of the Eastern District of Louisiana.

There's been a lot of depressing animal news lately.
And it keeps getting worse.
The latest animal outrages come from China and Great Britain, where pigs and tigers are being slaughtered, though for very different reasons.
More from GlobalPost: Twitter users outraged after Copenhagen Zoo kills four lions
In China, more than 10 tigers have been killed as "visual feasts" to entertain officials and rich businessmen in Zhanjiang, state media reported Thursday.
A freshly-slaughtered tiger and multiple tiger products were seized in a raid earlier this month.
Apparently, the killings are seen as a way for the successful to show off their social stature.
In Great Britain, meanwhile, the British army has admitted to blowing up live pigs in an attempt to improve medical techniques on the battlefield.
Some 115 of the animals have died in the past three years at a secret base in Wiltshire, according to the Mirror.
More from GlobalPost: Children watched as a giraffe was euthanized and fed to lions
Medics wanted to see if the pigs, some strapped with body armor, could be saved despite suffering "severe battlefield trauma." They were also used to test blood-clotting products.
These horrors come on the heels of news that a Danish zoo killed a family of four lions to make room for a new male.
It's the same zoo in Copenhagan that killed a healthy young giraffe named Marius last month to prevent inbreeding, shooting it to death in front of a group of children.
Animal lovers have intensified calls for a public boycott of the zoo.
Others on Twitter went further, saying they wanted to see it shut down.

MSU disassociates from booster declining NCAA interview
STARKVILLE, Miss. – STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State has told a booster that he committed an NCAA violation and that he is no longer welcome as a supporter of the school's athletic programs.
The booster was found to have had "impermissible contact" with a recruit and may have engaged in other NCAA rules violations, according to documents provided Tuesday to The Clarion-Ledger through an open records request.
NCAA violations can lead to punishment ranging from scholarship reductions to post-season bans.
The booster refused "multiple" requests by MSU's compliance department to be interviewed by an NCAA representative, according to a letter dated July 13 and written by MSU's outside counsel. The name of the booster was redacted in three documents, including two emails, released Tuesday by MSU.
MSU receivers coach Angelo Mirando reportedly resigned Aug. 19 in the wake of an investigation into his recruitment of at least one player on the Bulldogs' roster. Memphis East High coach Marcus Wimberly told ESPN.com that MSU freshman defensive back Will Redmond, who Mirando helped recruit to MSU, was the subject of an NCAA interview earlier this year.
Wimberly told ESPN.com that Redmond's recruitment was "on the up and up."
Meanwhile, the disassociated booster will not be allowed to provide gifts, including monetary donations, to MSU's athletics programs or "receive any privilege" that is not available to the general public, according to documents.
MSU refunded the booster's season tickets, but the booster, in an email to MSU compliance director Bracky Brett on July 28, expressed concern that a separate donation had not been refunded.
"If you refuse to refund my donation, then I will assume that I will still have the right to purchase season tickets as a 2012 donor," according to the email.
The Bulldog Club has since refunded the football seat donation, according to an email authored Mike Glazier, MSU's outside counsel on NCAA compliance and infractions.
The NCAA has been focused on the city of Memphis since at least February and several players and coaches have either talked to or plan to talk to NCAA investigators.
Redmond's 7-on-7 summer league coach, Byron De'Vinner of Nashville, told The Clarion-Ledger last week that Redmond's name never came up when NCAA investigators interviewed him in August.
Freshman Georgia cornerback Sheldon Dawson, a Memphis native, is set to interview with an NCAA representative Friday, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The common thread of these interviews, which have included at least two former Memphis high school players and one coach, has been Mississippi State, according to the Commercial Appeal story.
Brent Hill, the coach at St. George High in Memphis, said he met with the NCAA earlier this year and the questioner was interested in "a young man from Memphis" and Mississippi State, according to the report.
De'Vinner's summer team included Auburn University running back Jovon Robinson, who was ruled ineligible this month by the NCAA after Memphis City Schools said a guidance counselor falsified his transcript.
In a statement released Thursday, MSU said it was nearing the end of the examination of a recruiting "irregularity" and promised additional details upon its completion.
MSU athletic director Scott Stricklin did not return messages Tuesday seeking comment about the booster.

Technology and Religion: An Interview with Michael Sacasas of The Frailest Thing (Part 1)
(Michael Sacasas is a PhD candidate in the "Texts and Technology" program at The University of Central Florida. He blogs about technology at The Frailest Thing.) Thank you for agreeing to an interview for CASTAC. I read your blog on a regular basis, largely because you write cogently on the relationship between religion and technology. Both are traditional anthropological topics currently undergoing a renaissance within the discipline, yet they are not commonly set in explicit conversation. In contrast, you write within a tradition of thought in which technology and religion are commonly set in explicit conversation. For example, in a February 2014 post, Traditions of Technological Criticism, you suggestively compare the place of theology as an organizing and animating principle in the medieval university to the place of technology in the modern university. Can you elaborate? Thank you for the invitation to contribute to the conversation at CASTAC. I'm an (more...)

3 inspiring ways your kids can design, create and invent using Tinkercad.
Last week, we introduced you to 3 cool kid inventors who we actually got to meet and chat with on behalf of our sponsor Autodesk. Well, since then, my tween Quinlan, who actually interviewed the inventors on Facebook Live (so fun!), has been learning how to use Tinkercad. She's been playing around with this free web tool, creating 3D designs the same way those remarkable kids created their own inventions. I've been so amazed seeing how my daughter can just take an idea from her own imagination, design it, and use a 3D printer to print and hold it in her hand. And did I mention it's fun?

If Caitlin and Trevor hinted to me how amazing their wedding ceremony venue was, I didn't remember. When I walked into the cathedral where they'd share their vows, my jaw pretty much hit the floor. Their wedding at the Cathedral of St. Matthew and reception at Top of the Town was, in a word, elegant, with a big old scoop of crazy dance party.
We started the day at a pair of townhouses their families had rented in Washington, DC. Caitlin's family was staying in a former convent – it was such a cool place.
Then we hopped over to St. Matthews.
I really didn't even know cathedrals like this existed in DC. This is the cathedral where Red Mass is celebrated each year.
Caitlin and Trevor hired a tour-the-sites trolley to take the wedding party around to the various portrait locations. The lady driving was really funny, giving everybody the full historical breakdown of everywhere we went.
Wanting to add some spice to their portraits, we hit up the National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum to get in some funky modern art stuff.
Thankfully the government had reopened just a few days before, so the Lincoln was fully available for wedding pictures.
Then we took the trolley across the river to Top of the Town for some amazing views, and a raucous party.
Honestly, the floor-to-ceiling windows are really tricky to work with, but they can be used to some pretty cool effect, too.
Their centerpieces included binoculars for spying on tourists at the monuments (or maybe just taking in the view closer…), so I played with that a bit. Here I'm focusing on the monuments through the binoculars. I think it mostly worked, but it's also something of a selfie.
Many thanks, as always, to my tireless assistant Julia, who shows no sign of annoyance when I give her "assignments" like "go stand outside and take landscape photos so I can stitch them into a panorama." Pretty sweet view, right?
Congratulations, you guys!

Resculpting the MBA
Filling the Gaps Between Classroom Output and Real Businesses' Needs
April 17th, 2014
The goal of the MBA is to prepare graduates who have the skills and knowledge to perform successfully in the business arena, coping with day-to-day issues and complications. After the economic downturn of the last decades, some business schools started adapting their programmes and sculpting curricula that prepare graduates for the current business environment.
An MBA is the degree that can transform your career. Getting that postgraduate business diploma is an investment that can be one of the best catalysts for your professional development and can push you one step closer toward C-level positions within your company. The top business degree can also be the necessary tool if you want to switch careers and dive into a completely different professional field or if you want to embark upon an entrepreneurial venture on your own.
Is there a gap?
However, one of the commonly addressed topics when it comes to business education is whether today's practices and programme content are enough or if there is something crucial missing from the curricula, leaving a gap between what graduates obtain as their knowledge and skill-set, and what real businesses actually need. As the requirement for most MBA programmes is that applicants have several years of experience, MBA students already know what real businesses need when they start their programme. "'Classroomoutput' is only one of the four pillars that deliver the MBA experience, the other three pillarsare interspersed across the programme and address the complimentary areas of ActiveIndustry Engagement, Professional Skills Development and Careers Support. The marketplacedemands students who can not only demonstrate subject knowledge, but equally possess thesofter skills to work in a multi-cultural environment", says Linda Jenkins, an MBA Course Leader at Aberdeen Business School.
Business schools keep their programmes up to date
In a survey by Access MBA about the role of business schools in the economic crisis, 62% out of all 2,000 respondents from 57 countries said that business schools do, indeed, have a significant responsibility in this area. In order to strengthen MBA programmes' connection with sustainable business and management practices, 64% of the Access MBA survey participants declared that business schools should actively encourage field immersion, or the opportunity for students to apply what they learn in the classroom to working with companies outside the classroom. Shawn O'Connor, Founder and President of Status Prep, said during a press conference in New York in May 2013 that Harvard Business School changed their decades-old curriculum in 2011, introducing a programme called "FieldImmersion Experiences for Leadership Development" where "students have the opportunity to apply what they have learnt in class to working with industries abroad".
By changing curricula, international business schools can affect the workplace and alter global markets. 80% of current MBA students and recent MBA graduates say that their business school adequately addresses the causes and repercussions of the economic recession.
IE Business School, one of Europe's most prestigious business schools, is an example of how schools keep their programmes, cutting-edge. Bloomberg Businessweek says its 13-month International MBA programme has the "most innovative curriculum" of any MBA programme. The programme combines entrepreneurship, diversity and the humanities with a unique focus on social responsibility. The business school also offers a 10-month IE-SMU MBA programme that is a joint initiative of the school and Singapore Management University. The programme offers insights into Asia-Pacific markets, business strategies and management cultures, and combines the best of theory and practice by allowing students to test newly-learnt concepts, skills and management techniques in business case analyses, simulated environments, and faculty-guided, cross-functional, real-life projects.
Hult International Business School is another example of an institution that offers a programme which is designed in response to real business demands. The business school claims that its one-year MBA programme is the world's first to have been designed by business leaders. The programme addresses feedback from leading CEOs and employers on the effectiveness of the standard MBA curriculum, fully integrating the teaching of interpersonal soft skills and practical business application.
Change is good in moderation
Every business school has its own way of making sure its curriculum covers all important business-related topics and teaches students the necessary skills to succeed in the real business world. The greatest change made to Aberdeen Business School's programme within the past three years, for instance, is active industry engagement, which has seen particular companies and organisations embedded within specific disciplines within the programme.
"This is over and above timetabled classesand involves master classes fromexperts in theirfield, whole-weekendevents such as the Investment Den tosupport the Corporate FinanceModuleand, of course, our Leadership Week. Anumber of companies use these mechanismsto identify potential recruits", saysMs. Jenkins.According to the Access MBA survey,55% of the respondents say that businessschools should manifest their responsibilityby developing sustainable businesspractices. "We have added a clearemphasis on sustainability as a corepartof our MBA experience. This includeseverything from ethical business practicesto Corporate Social Responsibility",says Andrew Dalik, Admissions Managerfor the Full-time MBA Programme at CopenhagenBusiness School.
As business matures and evolves into one big globalised economic area, the skills and knowledge requirements that business practitioners need to be successful change as well. However, the bottom-line principles and values that make up a successful business person remain unchanged. "A core part of an MBA is learning to be a more effective leader of people. The skills, empathy and perceptiveness required to do this effectively remain largelyunchanged. In fact, there are many 'old school' ways of building authentic client andemployee relationships that are re-emerging in the one-to-one era of social media", says Mr Dalik.
Changes in market trends and demands lead to changes in the profile of the MBA student. As the MBA is a programme largely based on students sharing their former professional experience and success and failure stories, the changed profile of the students brings with it a change in the way the MBA is structured. "Our courses are the result of close collaboration with industries, which means that Aberdeen Business School graduates will have thenecessary skills in demand. As industries evolve, so do our courses, which are continuallyupdated to reflect industry needs", says Ms. Jenkins.
The MBA stands strong post crisis
Even though the degree's reputation and value were shaken by the economic downturn of the previous decade, business schools are constantly in touch with real businesses to make sure the content offered in their MBAs is relevant and prepares well-equipped graduates. Through various immersion projects, collaborations with real companies, field trips, case studies and so on, today's MBA prepares graduates who will be the leaders of tomorrow's business.

ATLANTIC CITY - With the game on the line in the fourth quarter and the situation not looking good, the players in the Atlantic City High School huddle, led by sophomore quarterback Robert Parker, decided it was time to have fun on Friday.
Soon they were really having fun, with the winning touchdown.
Parker, in his first varsity start, orchestrated a six-play, 69-yard drive that propelled Atlantic City to a 13-9 victory over St. Augustine Prep in a Cape-Atlantic League American Division game.
St. Augustine had just kicked a 30-yard field goal to break a 6-6 tie with under nine minutes left to play.
Following an incomplete pass from his own 31-yard line in A.C.'s next possession, Parker fired a 35-yard pass over the middle to senior wide receiver Radi Tolbert to the Prep 34.
Four plays later, Vikings sophomore running back Ahmaad Williams went seven yards off left guard for the winning score.
It was only Williams' second carry of the game, and the Hermits' defense was caught off guard.
"In the huddle everybody was saying 'play and have fun,' and we got the big play," said Parker, an Atlantic City resident, of the pass play.
"We did that and got everybody excited. I had the jitters in the first half, but then I calmed down."
The Atlantic City victory was reminiscent of the Vikings' 26-24 comeback win over St. Augustine in last year's season-opening game. The Vikings went on to a 7-4 season in coach Thomas Kelly's first year.
"I hope it gets us going to a season like last year, because we need that," Atlantic City coach Thomas Kelly said.
"It was our first game and we made many mistakes that we need to correct in practice. But there were some great things."
After the pass to Tolbert on the winning march, Parker took control.
He hit wide receiver Ishmail Naji for nine yards to the 26, got a first down with six yards on a keeper, and passed to the left to Naji for a first down at the seven. Williams' TD with 5:07 left was the next play.
"The team knew when things were not going good to keep fighting," Kelly said. "It only takes one play. That's the good thing about high school football. The offensive line did a good job. They got a great push (on the winning touchdown run)."
There were opening-day mistakes, but the game was well-played and close all the way.
St. Augustine workhorse running back John Barillo gained 71 yards on 21 carries, and the Hermits racked up 12 first downs to A.C.'s six.
Barillo powered off right guard for a 3-yard touchdown on the Prep's first possession with less than three minutes gone in the game.
But the extra point kick was blocked and it was 6-0 St. Augustine.
"We made a lot of mistakes," St. Augustine coach Dennis Scuderi said.
"We had 10 men on the field for the extra point, and it was blocked in the gap that it left. They were keying on (Barillo). We need to execute our offense better. Our defense played a great game, but our special teams weren't good. They made some plays on us in the fourth quarter. They have good skill players who can make plays."
The Vikings evened the score at 6-6 in the third quarter when Parker tossed seven yards to Tolbert, who made a diving catch in the end zone. A pass for two points failed.
"I shook off the defense by turning around on my route and making a move in the other direction," said Tolbert, an Atlantic City resident.
The Prep went up 9-6 with 8:43 left in the game when Taylor Hurff booted a 30-yard field goal.

To think if he abandoned first kids, he's not worth knowing?(76 Posts)
My friends DP has a 5, 6 and 8 year old from a previous relationship whom he hasn't seen for 3 years. His ex stopped contact, he hasn't fought to reinstate it. My friend has a 2 year old with him. I can't help thinking he's the same age her DPs youngest was when he stopped having contact and that if they split its likely her ds will be abandoned too. She acknowledges that this concerns her too. I told her I wouldn't be with my DP if I thought he were incapable of abandoning his child(ren.) I appreciate I may have been unreasonable to share my opinion, but that isn't an unreasonable opinion to hold is it?
Some men stop the court process because it would cause their children more distress and harm to carry on with it as contact disputes can be so toxic.
I think that's quite a brave thing for a father to do, and it is putting his children's welfare first.
ah bullshit. The brave man that doesn't even try to see his children, don't make me laugh. Some women just make excuses for the men in their lives because they need to beleive he isn;t a complete wanker.
Rufus, he clearly isn't that a great a father if he said that.
Just so I understand a father, no matter what halm it will cause the children, should carry on battling through the courts.
And all fathers who don't see their children are doing it because they're feckless wankers?
How does a court case harm the children? myself and my x have been through court three times in total and the children didn't know where I was those days.
It rarely causes harm to children for their father to attempt contact. You think the large number of divorced fathers who lose contact with their children do it because they really have no choice and its all for the good of the children? BULLSHIT.
Yep, its mostly because they are feckless wankers.
Because of the bitterness it can generate between the separating couple and the problems that arise when children are used as pawns.
We had a totally amicable split, didn't need the courts, get on well and the children are happy, but I'm aware that all separations aren't like that.
I think a father should carry on battling through the courts so that the children know he didn't stop trying to see them. I think knowing he stopped trying to see them is very damaging.
Can you link to the evidence for that please.
Can you? nope. You can convince yourself, but everyone knows its a load of self serving rubbish.
One third of divorced families in the UK have no contact with the father. How many of them are in bitter custody battles? not that many. Cop yourself on.
i can not think of anything that would stop me from trying to see ds
not that i think i would ever be in that situation but why would i give up when he means everything to me
No I can't link to evidence. Do you have evidence you can link to that it does no harm for someone to stop trying to see their child then?
If my husband took the kids away and did all he could to prevent contact I know I'd not stop fighting for contact because I know what it would do to them to know I'd stopped trying.
Why no go after the feckless bitches who stop contact rather than these apparent arsehole men. They wouldn't have to battle in court if someone wasn't holding a child to ransom.
So in my DPs situation what should he have done? Carried on? Tried to enforce the contact order? Taken the kids against their mothers will? Gone toe to toe with the new partner in the driveway?
When I went to court with my ex I asked my solicitor what would happen if I didn't agree with what was ordered and denied the contact or moved away. Ultimately I could be found in contempt of court. But it would be very unlikely and only in extreme circumstances that a mother would have action taken against her for not complying with the order.
Mothers do sadly use their children as pawns in a relationship breakdown. Just because she is a mother it doesn't mean that she will always do the right thing.
I am not saying that what happened to you isn't true, it (IMHO it happens far to often)
But it isn't the only truth, there are obstructive RPs out there who do everything in their power to stop the NRP having contact.
YANBU to hold that opinion as long as you don't pass it on unsolicited. Personally I would not touch a man who had no contact with their children, I could not respect him. I am sure there are a myriad of good excuses out there, but at the end of the day 'my kids will know the truth when they are adults' is not a good one.
IME (but granted my experance is coming from my work) I see a lot of nrp's dads as well as mums who use the court system as a legally sanctioned method of abuseing ex's with very little regard for any children.
I also see quite a high proportion of nrp's who obtain contact orders but never stick to them because the only reason for going to court in the first place was to do battle.
The trouble with this is that it is a highly emotive issue. There are trends but enough exceptions that you cannot categorically state anything. Just as the overwhelming majority of domestic abuse is male on female but there is a significant amount of female on male abuse too, the majority of men who lose contact with their children are selfish bastards but there are enough who have lost contact for legitimate reasons that you can't just assume that.
If you were going to make an arbitrary decision based on statistical probability, you'd go with the "he's not worth knowing" approach, but it would be far better to listen and form an opinion based on other indications of that man's character. IME the sort of person capable of walking out on their children will display other selfish character traits as well. I rather suspect that this is exactly the case in the OP's friend's situation; but for some reason she is only now starting to recognise it - hence her asking the OP for her opinion.
mothers can be punsihed for witholding contact & sometimes custody can be awarded to the dad if the courts see that she is not allowing court ruled contact so there is NO excuse for a dad (or mum if they are the NRP) not to see the child. And NOTHING at all to stop them from asking the school to send reports, lists of dats (so casn go to parents evenings, school plays etc
We currently have a site user whose ex is on bail for raping her and abusing her in front of the child has been abusive towards the child won't use car seats or feed the child and she has been threatened with transference of residency
It does happen and its not infrequent.
hardboiled he is a fantastic hands on dad of a 14, 11 and 10 year old, he has however seen the pain the relative has gone through. And I'm sure that if he was in that position and I was not letting him see the children and would keep taking me to court for access. Our relative does not have the money for that
I quite agree that some men are complete and utter wankers and I have not seen anyone argue otherwise, but some women are complete and utter bitches.
Better for the 'emotional well-being' of the children for the 'father' to take the easy option and walk away - I almost died laughing at that .
My father walked away when I was 7. Never paid a penny maintenance even though he received a large lump sum of money directly after the divorce, never went to court as it was 'too hard' and he did not want to cause us distress and now 30 years later after no contact for all that time, does not understand why I can't move on and play happy families. My mother was abusive to him apparently and it was too stressful (so her extreme physical and emotional abuse to me was OK then). He did'nt want any arguments so went onto bring up and financially support someone else's DCs instead .
Yes, men like this are feckless, pathetic wankers and I could not waste a minute on them. Problem is that they may think their DCs are OK and it's better for them but a lot of the emotional pain of the 'abandonment' does not surface until adulthood when those DCs go on to have their own families.
Maybe it should be rephrased to say there is no excuse for not trying to maintain contact, rather than there is no excuse for not having contact.
I don't accept that inability to afford court fees is an acceptable excuse. I don't accept that "it's too hard" for either the child or the father to maintain contact and that it's better for all concerned if he walks away. I don't accept that if you don't see your child you shouldn't have to pay maintenance. I don't accept that being told to stick to an agreed schedule of contact is the same thing as "she's being obstructive and won't let me see my kids". All of which are excuses trotted out by lots of NRPs.
However, in the case of froubylou's DP, the effort was clearly made. I think that will speak for itself when the DC are older. Her DP will have a lot less explaining to do than someone who never even bothered to go to court in the first place, and throughout all that he lived up to his financial responsibilities. I'm interested as to why CS was used though, as 'use of force' by a police officer has to be justified and another person's statement (especially an Xs) that someone was going to attack her wouldn't normally be considered strong enough.
Definitely a hard one, and not a thought I would have shared given they already have a child. Besides, some things aren't as black and white as you may think. Yes, some fathers are fuckwits, my own included as he couldn't be arsed to pay or see his own children and simply set up home with someone else and had a 'new' family. My stepfather on the other hand was married to the most spiteful, vile and vindictive women I have ever met. He left her because of the emotional abuse he was suffering and has had to stand by and watch as she systematically poisons her children's minds against their father to the point that they will not even acknowledge him when he is walking down the street. He has been on their doorstep every other weekend for as long as I remember (family friend before settling down with my mum) go try and see them to no avail. He also gives £80,000 a year to support them, plus pensions and bonuses. He took the wife to court to demand access, but, and this is the kicker, because the kids don't want to know, he has no rights.
It's very sad. He is one of the kindest and most generous people and absolutely worth knowing. You can't tar everyone with the same brush.

Kenneth August
Ken "Gus" August is currently the cohost of "The Morning Blaze with Gus and Izzy" on KKBZ 105.1 in Fresno.
Before joining 105.1 The Blaze, Gus was the writer and host of "The Wrap Up with Ken August" on Extreme Talk XM. The news/opinion show dealt with the week's biggest stories...the least depressing way possible. At the same time, he was also a regular panel member on Extreme Talk XM's comedy show, "Bad Advice." A show where the advice was free and worth every penny.
Prior to that, Gus spent four years writing for the four-time Emmy-Nominated talk-show host, Ty Treadway, on the Emmy-Nominated talk-show, "Soap Talk." Although the show was not fortunate enough to win the Emmy, it was without a doubt, consistently funnier than "Doctor Phil."
In addition to being a radio personality, Gus is also an award winning filmmaker. He wrote and directed the feature film "...Or Forever Hold Your Peace." The film premiered at the Houston International Film Festival where it was highly praised for its "quick-witted" dialogue and took home a Remmy Award.
Gus also wrote the dark comedy "Fall," which was made into a feature-length film starring Joe Mantegna and Michael Madsen. Before that, he worked on numerous projects as an assistant director; working closely with such celebrities as Will Ferrell, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Rodney Dangerfield and Snoop Dogg.

Another DHEA product that's on the market now is 19-Nor-DHEA(4- and 5-ene are both available). As you can see from the picture, this molecule is a precursor to nandrolone(aka Deca) via 2 enzymatic reactions inside the body. Nandrolone is a very potent anabolic steroid that has an anabolic: androgenic ratio of about 6:1, meaning it's 6x more anabolic vs testosterone. It also cannot convert to DHT, but rather to dihydronandrolone which is not nearly as androgenic as DHT. This means less possible androgenic side effects such as prostate enlargement and hair loss. Nandrolone also is metabolized much more slowly and to a lesser extent to estrogen vs test. Only about 20% gets converted to estrogen compared to test, which means estrogenic side effects will be low. This compound, like the other DHEA products are not liver toxic. @blackstonelabs is releasing our version of this product called abNORmal, which includes the same liposomal delivery system as Chosen1 and Brutal 4ce, as well as 2 different esters(decanoate and enanthate) which are used to control the release of the molecule aka time-released formula. Pre sale for abNORmal starts today at 12pm! This product will be the most anabolic of the DHEA derivatives and should have the fewest side effects. Go to the Blackstone labs website to pre order today.

WASHINGTON (AP) First, the Washington Mystics ended New York's 10-game winning streak. Then they found themselves atop the Eastern Conference, in control of their playoff destiny.
Lindsey Harding hit a go-ahead layup with 8.8 seconds left and the Washington Mystics tied New York in the Eastern Conference by beating the Liberty 75-74 Friday night.
Indiana lost later Friday night, causing a three-way tie atop the East.
GAME REPORT: Mystics 75, Liberty 74
Washington won the season series 3-2 over New York and holds the tiebreaker over Indiana. The Mystics can clinch homecourt in the East with a win at Atlanta, while New York can lock up at the number two seed with a win at Connecticut.
"It's crazy how the East is," said Mystics forward Crystal Langhorne. "We're just going to keep fighting. We have another game against Atlanta and we just want to take care of business on Sunday."
The Liberty (21-12) went ahead 70-69 with 2:18 left after Janel McCarville's jumper. The lead changed hands three times in the final 22.3 seconds, before ending with the Liberty's first loss since July 25.
"I guess every great run comes to an end at some point," Cappie Pondexter said. "The thing is, we fought hard today, especially in the fourth quarter. We showed a lot of grit and its something we can learn from. We're not done with what we came to do this season. We have a goal and we are going to keep trying to reach it."
Pondexter led the Liberty (21-12) with 28 points.
Matee Ajavon scored 16 points and Harding scored 14 points for the Mystics (21-12), who led 61-49 after three quarters.
Pondexter's bank shot put the Liberty up 74-73 with 12.6 seconds left, after Marissa Coleman's tip. After Harding scored, McCarville missed a jump shot and Leilani Mitchell missed a putback layup at the buzzer.
Immediately after the game, both teams were near center court when some pushing and shoving broke out. It was unclear what happened, though players on both teams were dismissive afterward. Game officials were unavailable.

Individual Mandate
Since Judge Vinson's decision against the health care law hinged on the individual purchase mandate, Democrats are boasting about the fact that that the mandate was a Republican creation.
Senior Fellow Greg Conko points out that libertarians were always against the individual mandate.
"It's worth noting that most of us in the free market movement have never embraced the health insurance purchase mandate. And I'm proud to dig out of the archives an old Cato Institute paper (pdf) written by my former CEI colleague Tom Miller (now at the American Enterprise Institute), which roundly criticizes the 1993-94 Republican compromise legislation. Tom found a lot of faults in those bills, and he singled out the individual purchase mandate as being especially egregious."
1099 Rule
The U.S. Senate rejects repeal of the health care law as a whole, but overwhelmingly approves repeal of a provision requiring frequent filing of IRS 1099 reports for small purchases by businesses.
John Berlau, director of CEI's Center for Investor and Entrepreneurs, explains why the 1099 rule, as well as restrictions on purchases of over-the –counter drug purchase by flexible spending accounts and health saving accounts, "have proved to be the most burdensome to doctors, entrepreneurs, consumers, and savers and investors."
"Although the 1099 rule and medicine cabinet tax can both be ended before full repeal of the health care law, it should be remembered that they were enacted because of the flawed process of ramming this bill through Congress. Both are gimmicky revenue "offsets" done so the Congressional Budget Office would technically score Obamacare as reducing the deficit, and score repeal of the law or even of these individual provisions as increasing it."
Ethanol and Egypt
American farmers are growing corn instead of wheat to cash in on ethanol subsidies, which has contributed to the rise in wheat prices in countries that import wheat.
Senior Counsel Hans Bader talks about the effect rising food prices has had on Egypt.
"As I previously noted, the rise in food prices in Egypt seems to have strengthened the anti-American Muslim Brotherhood, rather than the small pro-western reform movements in Egypt, by radicalizing the slums of Cairo, whose residents sometimes rely on relief provided by the Muslim Brotherhood (the only Egyptian political movement that provides non-governmental charitable services), and who have little connection to the Westernized middle class."

On Using Color Filters to Tweak Hues in Black and White Photography2014-04-09 3 Share Tweet
While it might sound unusual for some right off the bat, black and white film photographers do use color filters to experiment with their shots without ever needing to do some post-processing. How to do that and which filters to use to capture specific scenes? Take a look at this short instructional YouTube video clip by LZ Film Productions!
Black and white photography, unlike color, is quite a challenge because you have to put extra effort in finding the right gear, getting the correct camera settings, and composing your shots, among other things. Using color filters is usually associated with color photography, but have you ever tried of using them as well for black and white photography? If you haven't, make sure to watch the video clip above and find out which colors to use to get certain effects – say, yellow to make skies look more natural, or orange or red to make them appear darker, or green to make leaves on trees look brighter and skies darker!
To give you an idea, here are a couple of screenshots we took from the video. The first, lighter one was taken with a yellow filter while the other one with orange! Pretty cool, huh?

Hydrofluoric acid method
Hydrofluoric acid method is the traditional method of quartz-feldspar flotation separation, refers to hydrofluoric acid or a fluoride do feldspar activator, in a strongly acidic medium, with amines and other cationic collector floated priority feldspar separation methods.
Mechanism of quartz-feldspar hydrofluoric acid separation is: With the pH of the slurry drops, pulp system solutions quartz, feldspar surface dissociation equilibrium is broken. Concentration increased, so that the dissociation equilibrium is shifted towards the negative direction of decreasing. When the pH value of 2 to 3 o'clock, quartz surface zeta potential close to zero, due to the HF acid etching Si 10 keys, so long stone surface AI prominent and become active centers. At the same time, the solution quickly formed [SiF] a complex ion, which will work with feldspar surface Al3 +, K, Na form a stable complex, which is attached to the surface of feldspar, feldspar surface makes a certain electronegativity . When cationic collector added to the system, it will be electrostatically attracted to the surface of feldspar, so that feldspar surface hydrophobicity and priority surfaced.
Fluorine-free acid method
Fluorine-free acid method is a strongly acidic, namely a pH of 2 to 3 medium, using amines and petroleum sulfonate as cationic Mixed collector priority surfaced feldspar.
Since the fluoride ions would cause great harm the natural environment. According to K. H. Experimental study of Rao et al showed that the role of the mechanism of acid fluorine-free separation of quartz-feldspar is this: When the pulp pH value of 2-3, which is in the vicinity of zero potential of quartz, feldspar ratio of zero potential when The pH should be large (feldspar at pH 1.5 up to zero potential). So at this time is not charged surface of the quartz, feldspar surface and negatively charged, strongly acidic medium on the one hand make the solution feldspar surface from negatively charged reducing the balance to the direction of movement, on the other hand, the gap feldspar lattice Al region tared metal ions K or Na was dissolved pulp, thus positively charged surface of the cavity. When the anion and cation mixing collector was added to the pulp, quartz surface will form a weak electrostatic adsorption and molecular adsorption; and then there will be active in Al anionic collector characteristics of adsorbed feldspar surface, positively charged holes to catch cation collector electrostatic adsorption and molecular adsorption. Multiple adsorption promote each other, synergies, so feldspar catching big collector surface adsorption than quartz, feldspar priority surfaced so isolated and quartz.
CFC-free acid-free method
Some data indicate that the relevant literature, good collector dodecylamine and other long-chain alkyl amines are quartz, the best mineral flotation zone is weakly alkaline range.
1) Neutral media
Flotation mechanism neutral medium conditions is: in a neutral medium, quartz, feldspar are negatively charged, cationic collector can feature adsorbed on the surface of Al feldspar micro region is formed, comprising of suitable ions collector adsorption ability to form micelles hydrophobic molecules, so that the surface is much higher than feldspar quartz, feldspar flotation can be separated and quartz.
2) 2) Alkaline medium
Flotation mechanism under alkaline conditions for media: in alkaline medium condition, feldspar floatability weak, and quartz Flotability remained unchanged, the flotation of quartz, feldspar and thus separated.

School Districts.
Our school district has a website called the "parent portal" where we can get on and look at our kids' teachers grade books without having to call each teacher individually. Its a week or two into the 2nd quarter, and our Michael is already missing 13 assignments. Do your kids' schools have anything like this?

I don't know if we do or not, but that is a great idea. My daughter is in Kindergarten though so it really don't matter at this point.
What an awesome tool for parents to have!

Have you noticed large circular bruises on some of the athletes. In particular Michael Phelps' shoulder at the Olympics and now Robert Osuna's neck? What exactly are those bruises and what are they for?
The bruises are caused by a soft tissue technique known as cupping. It is performed by using a small round cup to ensure an airtight contact with the skin and then create a vacuum effect. Heating the air within the cup, then allowing it to cool and contract while in contact with the skin, creates negative pressure. One of the goals for cupping is to release Myofascial tension and trigger points.
There are various hypotheses to explain the effects of cupping. One theory infers cupping increases the circulation surrounding the treated area, thus enabling metabolites trapped deep in the soft tissue layers to rise to the body surfaces and then get cleared. Another proposed theory is that cupping can affect the immune system by irritating it, thus causing local inflammation. This will eventually activate the complement system and release specific hormones, which can increase lymphatic flow.
Furthermore, there were three studies (Lauche R. et al. Cramer H. et al. Kim T.H. et al.)
wich examined the effects of cupping on chronic neck pain. All three studies, patients in the treatment group had significantly less pain and had attained better results on the respective subscales for bodily pain than patients in the waiting-list group.
As found in numerous studies, cupping can be an effective adjunctive tool in treating musculoskeletal pain. Clinically, it is gaining a lot of popularity. Like acupuncture, cupping is coming back into "fashion" and more and more athletes and every day people are seeking it out as an alternative therapy.
Just remember, it's not the only the modality that give you results. In fact, most importantly it is the proper diagnosis, assessment knowing when and where to use the tool is most important. Whether it be acupuncture, cupping, exercise therapy, an understanding of the patients and his needs and goals will determine a successful outcome.

The Indianapolis Colts' loss to the New York Jets on Saturday shined a light on what has been -- outside of a win in Super Bowl XLI -- a career full of playoff disappointments for Peyton Manning.
The Colts QB fell under .500 to 9-10 all-time in 11 playoff appearances. Saturday's loss represented the seventh time Manning had been eliminated in one playoff loss during his time in Indianapolis.
The Jets ousted the Colts with a game-ending field goal that sealed a 17-16 win. Manning was 18-for-26 for 225 yards and one TD against a New York defense that limited Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne to one catch for one yard.
Manning, four-time NFL MVP, won Super Bowl MVP honors when he led the Colts on a 4-0 postseason run to claim his lone Lombardi Trophy after the 2006 season.
But his other postseason performances have always left the Colts wanting more at the end of the season. A look at his postseason record:

Jaycee Chan Son of Action Star Jackie Chan Target of China's Drug Crackdown
Drug and alcohol abuse and addiction are global problems that most countries are working hard to try to mitigate. In China, the authorities are striving to cut down on drug abuse, especially among celebrities.
There has been a wide scale policy to crack down on the abuse of drugs, and they have targeted celebrities to provide more visibility of the problem, and the risks of abuse. One of the latest celebrities targeted in their anti-drug crackdown is Jaycee Chan, the son of kung fu star Jackie Chan.
Jaycee Chan's Arrest
Jaycee Chan is an actor like his father. He was detained in Beijing along with Kai Ko, a Taiwanese actor, during a police raid in the Dongcheng district, which is the city's cultural and commercial center. Both of the actors tested positive for marijuana.
The police also searched Chan's apartment and found more than 100 grams of the drug. They accused him of "hosting others to take drugs," according to the state-run China Daily.
This could lead to a three-year jail sentence under the current Chinese law.
Chan apologized for his behavior, saying that he "set the worst example, which had the most terrible influence. And this is a huge mistake."
The Chinese media also showed the actor admitting to the possession of marijuana while they searched his home. These clips also were used to help educate the public about the dangers of using drugs.
Jackie Chan's Response
Jackie Chan has campaigned against the use of drugs for years, and represented China as an anti-drug ambassador in 2009. The elder Chan responded to his son's arrest by saying he felt ashamed and heartbroken about his son's arrest.
He posted on Sina Weibo, which is China's equivalent to Twitter: "Regarding this issue with my son Jaycee, I feel very angry and very shocked. As a public figure, I'm very ashamed.
As a father, I'm heartbroken," (translation via the Associated Press). He also said that he felt he had failed to educate his son and apologized.
China's Anti-Drug Campaign
These two actors are not the only ones targeted by a new anti-drug campaign. Beijing law enforcement has recently gone after several celebrities and other drug users.
They have detained more than 7,000 people, which is a 72 percent increase from the previous year. The celebrities detained and arrested have a high profile, including Zhnag MO, a popular actor, and Li Daimo, a singer.
Chinese authorities hope that by arresting celebrities, they can send an educational message to the public and hopefully deter some drug use.
They are also targeting foreigners, especially in a popular bar district. They have gone so far as to force patrons to undergo semi-public urine tests.
Upon analyzing the tests, they have arrested and detained all those who have tested positive, and deported many of the foreigners.
Stopping the Abuse in the Entertainment Industry
The entertainment industry has a reputation for being a hot bed of drug abuse and addiction. This is one reason the Chinese authorities are targeting celebrities.
In addition to the police clapping down on drug use, Beijing authorities have worked on another way to stop drug abuse in the entertainment industry. Numerous management agencies that represent performers in the entertainment industry signed an agreement that banned drugs from the entertainment industry.
Additionally, the agreement included a pledge that the companies would get rid of any artists who break the law.
China has taken some innovative steps to reduce the abuse of drugs in their country, especially by those in the entertainment industry. They are utilizing the media attention of celebrities to send a message to the rest of the country that drugs will not be tolerated any longer in their country.

Yeah, he really went out on a limb there. 51-18? Tight. Do you think any Democrat worth his entitlements would dare vote against a bill benefiting organized labor? Only if he knew his vote meant nothing. He would have been conveniently absent if this had been close at all.
Don't even try to compare the Civil Rights movement to the current immigration debacle. Don't make this into a race thing. It's a nationality thing. If we as Americans are not allowed to determine who we let in, why have a country? I don't want any illegals here. Neither do 80% of Americans. It's our right. Don't make it sound like everyone who shares my opinion is some sort of fascist.
What gives? I give my tax dollars and never see anything positive out of these idiots. Whenever someone tries to cut taxes, the opponents all cry foul and scream about future deficits. God forbid they have to cut spending. It gets better. Wait and see what kind of bind we're in we the politicos start drawing those pensions they set up. What gives? We all give. And they get.
Pardon me while I retort. You're an idiot of monumental proportions. This is without a doubt the most unrelenting fusillade of verbal flatulence I have ever had the displeasure of reading. Total crap. I loathe you and people who share your opinion. Fortunately, I belong to the vast (80%) majority. This piece of shit immigration bill will not be passed, so hang it up Pinko Poster Child. You don't get it do you? I (and others like me, you know, the 80%)are not going to wait until there are illegals living 10 feet from my back door. Personally, I would like a concrete wall 30 feet high along the Mexican border and an infantry division stationed in El Paso. Contract the former East Germans to do it. They're good at that sort of thing. Pull your head out of your ass and wake up. Dumbass.
