No. 89,925
1. Summary judgment is appropriate when the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The trial court is required to resolve all facts and inferences which may reasonably be drawn from the evidence in favor of the party against whom the ruling is sought.
2. When opposing a motion for summary judgment, an adverse party must come forward with evidence to establish a dispute as to a material fact. In order to preclude summary judgment, the facts subject to the dispute must be material to the conclusive issues in the case.
3. A nonconforming use is defined as a use which lawfully existed prior to the enactment of a zoning ordinance and which is maintained after the effective date of the ordinance, although it does not comply with the zoning restrictions applicable to the district in which it is situated.
4. Under Kansas law, the right to a nonconforming use is to be strictly construed. In addition, most courts place the burden of proving an alleged nonconforming use on the party claiming the nonconforming use.
5. A challenge to the district court's subject matter jurisdiction raises a question of law, and as a result, this court's standard of review is unlimited.
6. Under the facts of this case, the district court properly exercised subject matter jurisdiction over the plaintiff's zoning appeal even though (1) the plaintiff failed to register the alleged nonconforming use prior to commencing the action, and (2) the plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; TERRY L. PULLMAN, judge. Opinion filed December 12, 2003. Affirmed.
Robert W. Kaplan, of Kaplan, McMillan and Harris, of Wichita, for appellant.
Brian K. McLeod, assistant city attorney, and Gary E. Rebenstorf, city attorney, for appellee.
Before ELLIOTT, P.J., MALONE, J., and ROGG, S.J.
ROGG, J.: Plaintiff Homer Morgan appeals the district court's decision to grant summary judgment in favor of defendant City of Wichita (City). The City cross-appeals from the court's decision as well. Morgan claims the district court committed error by granting summary judgment to the City. The City cross-appeals, claiming that the trial court should have dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds and that the trial court erred in determining that Morgan did not have to join neighboring landowners. We affirm.
This appeal concerns the use of a particular piece of property owned by Homer Morgan. The subject property is located at 518 North Anna in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. The property was annexed by the City in 1954. In 1970, Morgan constructed a building on the property, and since November 1977, the property has been leased to a variety of different parties. Currently, the south half of the property is zoned as limited commercial and the north half of the property is zoned as B multifamily.
In November 1977, Morgan leased the property to David L. Wiley for use as a tavern. After that lease expired, Morgan leased the property to Robert Aldershof and Cassandra Harnden. Morgan brought suit to evict Aldershof and Harnden on the grounds that they had failed to operate a tavern on the property. Morgan won a judgment and eventually had them evicted.
In November 1981, Morgan leased the property to the V.F.W. Wichita Memorial Post #3115 (VFW). The VFW is a not-for-profit corporation incorporated under Kansas law. In 1981, the VFW applied for a cereal malt beverage license with the City. The record indicates that the VFW was issued a cereal malt beverage license in 1982, 1983, 1985, and 1986. City records reflect that the VFW's license was not renewed in 1987. For each year from 1989 to 1999, the VFW sought and received a liquor license from the City. Each year, the VFW applied for and was given a liquor license as a class A club. In addition, from 1990 to 1997, the VFW submitted renewal applications for a license from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division of the Kansas Department of Revenue. Again, the renewal applications indicated that the VFW was seeking a class A club license.
In January 1991, the City amended its ordinances to prohibit the establishment of private clubs, taverns, and drinking establishments within 200 feet of any church, public park, residential zoning district, or public or parochial school. In March 1996, the City adopted the Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Zoning Code (Unified Zoning Code) as its zoning regulations.
The VFW leased the property until May 2000, at which time the VFW moved to a new location. In August 2000, Morgan leased the property to Dan Cochran for use as a drinking establishment. Cochran apparently applied for a drinking establishment license, but the City denied his application. In May 2001, Morgan leased the property to himself as a representative of Silent Scope, Inc., doing business as Orchard Pub & Club. Morgan applied for and received a state liquor license for the club. Morgan also applied for a city liquor license as a drinking establishment, but the City's Office of Central Inspection denied his application on the grounds that the zoning ordinances did not allow "by right" a proposed drinking establishment on the property.
Thereafter, Morgan filed a petition for a writ of mandamus compelling the City to issue the license. Morgan later amended his petition to state that he was seeking a declaratory judgment on whether use of the property constituted a lawful nonconforming use. Morgan continued to seek a writ of mandamus.
The City answered Morgan's petition and later filed a motion for full or partial judgment on the pleadings. The City argued, among other things, that a writ of mandamus was not an appropriate remedy in this case, that Morgan had failed to exhaust his administrative remedies, and that Morgan had failed to join the necessary parties under K.S.A. 60-219 and 60-1712. Morgan responded to the City's motion and agreed to dismiss his request for a writ of mandamus. Morgan, however, continued to assert that he was entitled to a declaratory judgment. The district court in a brief journal entry denied the City's motion for judgment on the pleadings. The court concluded that it had jurisdiction to consider Morgan's declaratory judgment action.
On July 10, 2002, Morgan filed a nonconformity registration form with the City. On the form Morgan stated that the property had been "operated as an establishment for sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages since construction of the premises prior to 1954."
Later in July, the City filed a motion for summary judgment. The City argued that: (1) the VFW's use of the property was a fully conforming use; (2) even if the VFW's use was nonconforming, Morgan cannot shift to a less conforming use as a tavern or drinking establishment; and (3) the district court lacked jurisdiction because Morgan failed to register his alleged nonconformity prior to filing suit.
The district court concluded that the VFW's operations were a permitted use and, thus, there was no conforming use under the Zoning Code. The court granted the motion for summary judgment, and Morgan now appeals.
Summary judgment
Morgan initially asserts that the district court erred by granting summary judgment in favor of the City. The standard of review for a motion for summary judgment is:
"Summary judgment is appropriate when the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The trial court is required to resolve all facts and inferences which may reasonably be drawn from the evidence in favor of the party against whom the ruling is sought. When opposing a motion for summary judgment, an adverse party must come forward with evidence to establish a dispute as to a material fact. In order to preclude summary judgment, the facts subject to the dispute must be material to the conclusive issues in the case. On appeal, we apply the same rules and where we find reasonable minds could differ as to the conclusions drawn from the evidence, summary judgment must be denied." Bergstrom v. Noah, 266 Kan. 847, 871-72, 974 P.2d 531 (1999).
In the case at bar, the district court set forth its findings and conclusions concerning the City's motion for summary judgment in open court. The court commented:
"Some of the issues Mr. Kaplin raises certainly are subject to factual dispute, factual controversy, whether a Class A club selling beer and/or alcohol is truly any different than a tavern or drinking establishment selling beer and/or alcohol for profit. . . .
. . . .
"I'm going to find that notwithstanding the quite probable factual disputes on the issues I already covered, on a legal issue and based on the pleadings as they appeared to me, for purposes of this summary judgment motion, the main and first legal question I have to make is, was there a nonconforming or permitted use under the zoning code as the V.F.W. existed? And I find that under the zoning code, when the V.F.W. was operating as a fraternal--sorry--community assembly, which was a permitted use and was not a nonconforming use under the zoning code. The V.F.W. lost their lease or chose to give up its lease, not sure which, but in any event, the lease ended sometime in 2000, and there were attempts, I believe two separate attempts, to then come in and obtain licensure to operate the facility as a for profit tavern/drinking establishment, however you want to characterize it.
"Under the zoning code, those taverns/drinking establishments are separate and distinct from the V.F.W. community assembly. And as such, a tavern or a drinking establishment, any of those types of classifications other than a Class A community assembly entity, such as V.F.W. would be, would be a nonconforming usage. And there simply was no nonconforming--was no request for nonconforming usage made before the enactment of the ordinance restricting such use in this matter.
"Whether the issues--whether the issue of a tavern or drinking establishment being of the same general character of the V.F.W., that may be the case; that may not be the case. I simply don't know, but under the zoning code as it was presented to me, as a matter of law, the V.F.W. clearly was permitted use, taverns and drinking establishments clearly are nonconforming uses. And on that basis, I am going to grant the City's motion for summary judgment."
Morgan maintains that the court erred in its decision. Morgan alleges that the subject property was used to sell beer and alcohol prior to the property becoming subject to the zoning authority of the City. He further claims that since that time, there has not been a fundamental change in the use of the property, i.e., the property has continually been used for the sale of beer and alcohol. As such, he argues that because there has not been a fundamental change in the use of the property, the property retains its status as a lawful, nonconforming use. Morgan cites three cases to support his arguments. See Union Quarries, Inc. v. Board of County Commissioners, 206 Kan. 268, 478 P.2d 181 (1970); State v. Scherer, 11 Kan. App. 2d 362, 721 P.2d 743 (1986); Triangle Fraternity v. City of Norman, 63 P.3d 1 (Okla. 2002).
Initially, the City asserts that Morgan cannot establish a lawful, nonconforming use. The City's argument continues that in the absence of a lawful, nonconforming use, Morgan's arguments concerning whether there has been a fundamental change in the use of the property are irrelevant. The City's predominant argument is that there cannot be a lawful, nonconforming use, because use of the property was "fully conforming" after at least 1996. Stated differently, the City claims that any alleged nonconformity in use became conforming following the City's adoption of the Unified Zoning Code in 1996.
In Crumbaker v. Hunt Midwest Mining, Inc., 275 Kan. 872, 881, 69 P.3d 601 (2003), the Kansas Supreme Court discussed the concept of nonconforming use. The court noted that the concept of nonconforming use developed as a means to avoid confrontation with landowners by permitting landowners to continue their properties' preexisting uses. 275 Kan. at 881. The court also stated: "We have defined such an 'existing' or 'nonconforming use' as 'a lawful use of land or buildings which existed prior to the enactment of a zoning ordinance and which is allowed to continue despite the fact it does not comply with the newly enacted use restrictions.'" 275 Kan. at 881.
Under Kansas law, the right to a nonconforming use is to be strictly construed. See Goodwin v. City of Kansas City, 244 Kan. 28, 32, 766 P.2d 177 (1988). In addition, most courts place the burden of proving an alleged nonconforming use on the party claiming the nonconforming use. 244 Kan. at 33.
Morgan argues that the property could not lose its nonconforming status without evidence of a fundamental change in the property's use. This argument presupposes a nonconforming use.
The record reveals that in 1996 the City adopted the Unified Zoning Code. The 1996 version of the Unified Zoning Code included the definitions for the terms "Club, Class A" and "Community Assembly." The Code provided:
"Club, Class A means premises owned or leased by a corporation, partnership, business trust or association and which is operated thereby as a bona fide nonprofit social, fraternal, or war veterans' club, as determined by the Director of Alcoholic Beverage Control of the Kansas Department of Revenue, for the exclusive use of the corporate stockholders, partners, trust beneficiaries or associates and their families and guests accompanying them."
The Code further provided: "Community Assembly means an establishment providing meeting, recreational, educational, or social facilities for a private membership or non-profit association, primarily for use by members and guests. Typical uses include fraternal organizations, 'Class A Clubs,' philanthropic and eleemosynary institutions."
The Code also sets forth the permitted uses for B multifamily district and limited commercial districts. According to the Code, community assembly is a permitted use under both B multifamily districts and limited commercial districts.
Following the adoption of the Unified Zoning Code, use of the property clearly conformed to the zoning regulations. At the time the Code was adopted in 1996, the VFW was leasing the subject property. The record indicates that the Kansas Department of Revenue considered the VFW to be a class A club in 1996. According to the Code, a class A club is characterized as a community assembly, which in turn is a permitted use under both B multifamily districts and limited commercial districts. Consequently, the VFW's use of the property fully conformed to the City's zoning regulations.
As previously mentioned, a nonconforming use is defined as "'[a] use which lawfully existed prior to the enactment of a zoning ordinance, and which is maintained after the effective date of the ordinance, although it does not comply with the zoning restrictions applicable to the district in which it is situated.'" Goodwin, 244 Kan. at 32. Here, the VFW's use complied with zoning restrictions applicable to the property. The property's use cannot be characterized as a nonconforming use.
In Pennridge Dev. Ent. v. Volovnik, 154 Pa. Commw. 609, 624 A.2d 674 (1993), a case cited by the City, Pennridge built an airport in 1966. At the time the airport was built, the township did not have a zoning ordinance; however, in 1970, the township enacted a zoning ordinance, which made the airport a nonconforming use. Years later in 1987, the township enacted a second zoning ordinance which classified a portion of the airport's property as a conditional use. The issue in that case was whether the portion of the airport, which was zoned as a conditional use, remained a nonconforming use. In addressing that issue, the Pennsylvania court held that a conditional use is a permitted use. The court then stated: "Pennridge's nonconforming use was converted by the Township's 1987 zoning ordinance into a permitted use. Therefore, we hold that the trial court erred in determining that Pennridge retained a nonconforming use to operate an airport on the land at issue." 624 A.2d at 675-76.
In the case at bar, any alleged nonconformity in use became conforming following the City's adoption of the Unified Zoning Code in 1996. Morgan has failed to create a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the VFW's use conformed to the zoning regulations. As such, the court did not err in granting summary judgment on this issue.
Jurisdictional grounds
The City cross-appeals and argues that the district court should have dismissed Morgan's action because the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. The City contends that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction because (1) Morgan failed to register the alleged nonconforming use prior to commencing this action, and (2) Morgan failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. A challenge to the district court's subject matter jurisdiction raises a question of law, and as a result, this court's standard of review is unlimited. See In re Marriage of Myers, 30 Kan. App. 2d 1223, 1225, 56 P.3d 1286 (2002).
The City claims that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction because Morgan failed to register the alleged nonconforming use prior to filing suit. The City points to the 1996 and 2001 versions of the Unified Zoning Code and argues that Morgan is barred from asserting the alleged nonconforming use. In contrast, Morgan maintains that the City's arguments on this issue are without merit.
The 2001 version of the Unified Zoning Code discusses the registration of nonconformities. The Code provides in pertinent part:
"1. Rights conditional. The rights given to those using or owning property involving a nonconformity under this Art. VII or exemption under Sec. VII-A.3 are specifically conditioned on the registration of the nonconformity or exemption with the Zoning Administrator. Nonconformities or exemptions so registered shall be deemed to be lawful uses under the provisions of this Code, to the extent documented on the registration form.
"2. Registration process. Registration shall be required for nonconformities existing on the effective date of this Code, exemptions created by the adoption of the Code adopted on March 25, 1996, nonconformities arising because of a change in jurisdictional boundaries. There shall be no deadline for the registration required by this Sec. VII-I. The Zoning Administrator shall establish a process for the registration of nonconformities and exemptions and shall establish a system for keeping records of the same. The Zoning Administrator shall provide registration forms for this purpose."
The record in this case demonstrates that Morgan filed his petition in February 2002 and his first amended petition in March 2002. In July 2002, Morgan filed a nonconformity registration form with the City. Although Morgan filed his registration form after he had already filed suit, that fact does not prevent Morgan from asserting his claim that the property was a lawful, nonconforming one.
The Unified Zoning Code states that the rights given to an individual using or owning property involving a nonconformity under the Code are "specifically conditioned on the registration of the nonconformity." In this case, Morgan is not seeking to assert or enforce a right involving the nonconformity, rather, he is seeking a determination of whether the nonconformity exists. Consequently, the Code's provisions requiring registration of the nonconformity do not apply in this instance. The district court did not err in this regard.
Next, the City contends that under both the Unified Zoning Code and K.S.A. 12-759(d), Morgan had the "ability" to appeal the decision of the superintendent of Central Inspection to the Board of Zoning Appeals. As such, the City argues that Morgan's failure to pursue that appeal constitutes a failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. The City further argues that Morgan failed to exhaust his administrative remedies when Morgan did not apply for a conditional use permit. Morgan responds by asserting that this declaratory judgment is "not the type of case" which must be presented to the Board of Zoning Appeals. In addition, Morgan claims that he was not required to apply for a conditional use permit because applying for a conditional use permit would have been highly prejudicial to his claim of a nonconforming use.
According to K.S.A. 12-759(d), "[a]ppeals to the board of zoning appeals may be taken by any person aggrieved, or by any officer of the city, county or any governmental agency or body affected by any decision of the officer administrating the provisions of the zoning ordinance or resolution." It is uncontroverted that Morgan did not appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals and that Morgan did not apply for a conditional use permit.
In Zarda v. State, 250 Kan. 364, 368-69, 826 P.2d 1365 (1992), the Kansas Supreme Court commented:
"Where there are no issues raised which lend themselves to administrative determination and the only issues present either require judicial determination or are subject to judicial de novo review, it follows that plaintiffs should be permitted to seek court relief without first presenting the case to the administrative agency."
Accord In re Tax Application of Lietz Constr. Co., 273 Kan. 890, 906, 47 P.3d 1275 (2002).
In Goodwin, 244 Kan. 28, the Kansas Supreme Court addressed a similar exhaustion of remedies issue. In 1983, the Goodwins purchased two tracts of land which were zoned as residential. Thereafter, the Goodwins operated a fill dirt business on the property. In 1984, the director of the City Planning Division and other City employees notified the Goodwins that their property was in violation of the city zoning ordinances. In response, the Goodwins filed a lawsuit, alleging that the operation of their business was a lawful nonconforming use. On appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court, the City argued that the district court lacked jurisdiction because the Goodwins had failed to exhaust their administrative remedies. The court quickly rejected the City's arguments by stating:
"Were the issue the reasonableness of the zoning, it would involve the City's legislative enactment, which requires exhaustion of administrative remedies before the courts acquire jurisdiction. However, the issue here is whether the Goodwins have a vested right to continue their selling of fill dirt in an area zoned residential under the theory of nonconforming use. This issue is judicial rather than legislative and thus requires no exhaustion of administrative remedies." 244 Kan. at 29-30.
In the case at bar, Morgan is seeking a determination of whether he has a vested right to operate a drinking establishment under a theory of nonconforming use. Based on Goodwin, this issue raises a judicial question and, therefore, does not require the exhaustion of administrative remedies. In addition, the City offers no authority for requiring Morgan to apply for a conditional use permit. Requiring Morgan to apply for a conditional use permits seems to be inconsistent with Morgan's assertion of nonconforming use. As a result, the district court did not err by rejecting the invitation to dismiss Morgan's lawsuit for failing to exhaust administrative remedies.Neighboring landowners
Last, the City cross-appeals and claims that the district court should have required Morgan to join the neighboring landowners in this action. The City argues that the neighboring landowners have an "interest which would be affected by the declaration sought by [Morgan]." As such, the City maintains that the neighboring landowners were necessary parties, who should have been joined pursuant to either K.S.A. 60-1712 or K.S.A. 60-219(a). Based on our affirming the granting of the summary judgment, we need not take up this issue.

A Cold Shoulder for Cold-War Vets
For survivors of the anticommunist effort, little remembrance on Veterans Day
This weekend, Americans will honor soldiers who fought the country's wars, from the Somme to Kandahar. In Manassas, Va., 30 miles from the nation's capital, a parade on Saturday will honor veterans of another big war: the one that never happened.
The Cold War, from 1945 to the Soviet Union's breakup in 1991, was all about avoiding total nuclear war. It turned hot in Korea and Vietnam and sparked conflicts from Lebanon to Grenada. But soldiers on duty between flare-ups didn't do battle. When the war that wasn't came to an end,...

1. Institutions are required to demonstrate their formal plans to continuously improve their educational, administrative, and student learning outcomes effectiveness. This planning activity results in a carefully developed document known as the Campus Effectiveness Plan, or the CEP. Campus Effectiveness Planning is described in the Accreditation Criteria Title III, Chapter 1, Sections 100 - 113 and the Guide to Institutional Effectiveness both of which can be downloaded from the Publications tab. Please also review the most recent membership statistics for comparative data from the Summary of Key Operating Statistics.
2. Each campus shall have on file an Campus Effectiveness Plan (CEP). [Sample Outline of Campus Effectiveness Plan] A main and its branch campuses may share aspects of an CEP, such as the mission, but each main and additional location is expected to have its own plan for effectiveness that describes the characteristics of the programs offered and of the student population, describes what types of data will be used for assessment, identifies outcomes, and states how continuous improvement will be made to improve or enhance outcomes at the institution. At a minimum, the following six elements will be evaluated for institutional effectiveness:
Each institution shall publish annual placement and retention goals. In formulating these goals, each institution shall take into account the retention and placement rates from the previous three Campus Accountability Reports and the specific activities that will be undertaken to meet those goals. The activities must demonstrate the institution's ability to maintain or improve retention and placement outcomes each year. Institutions are encouraged to include additional information in their plans which is relevant to improving their overall effectiveness.
3. Campus Effectiveness Planning also requires that the plan be implemented through specific activities, and monitored through periodic progress reports, and evaluated at least annually.

Jeremy Renner, the guy who's going to play Bill Caswell in an upcoming movie that started with a Jalopnik story by Sam Smith, was attacked in Thailand with an axe that had a blade made out of a friggin' rotor.
TMZ has more:
Thai authorities say Jeremy and his party had been bar hopping and ended up at the club where the violence broke out at 4:30 AM, after hours. One of the men in Jeremy's party — Vorasit Issara, the General Manager of the Siri Panwa Resort — dropped a glass on the floor and apparently that started the melee.
Six men — who apparently worked at the bar — then allegedly attacked Jeremy, Vorasit and the others in their party. In addition to being stabbed in the neck, Vorasit was stabbed in the stomach with a knife.
The six men who attacked Jeremy's group were arrested.
Jeremy suffered minor injuries.
We're glad Renner's OK, and we hope nobody was permanently harmed by the attack — even the attacker. But, did we mention there was an axe with a rotor as a blade involved? Just sayin'... that's friggin' awesome. (Hat tip to Opinion-as-Fact!)

The deadly pileup on the New Jersey Turnpike this past weekend that critically injured comedian Tracy Morgan was a grim reminder of the dangers motorists face when sharing the road with big rigs, especially in the hands of drowsy drivers.
The crash triggers a primal fear many feel whenever a truck looms up in the rear-view mirror: That thing could crush me like a bug!
Kevin Roper, 35, was driving the Wal-Mart tractor-trailer that plowed into Morgan's limo during the early hours Saturday. Roper faces charges of assault by auto following reports that he hadn't slept for 24 hours prior to the crash.
Does that mean Roper was asleep at the wheel? Maybe. Does it mean he was trying to meet a delivery schedule that put other motorists at risk? Possibly, though Wal-Mart issued a statement saying it believed he was "operating within the federal hours of service regulations."
So what are those federal regulations? How are they enforced? And, more to the point, how dangerous is sharing the roadway with trucks?
Let's take them one-by-one.
First up: Federal regulations. In response to public-safety concerns, the Department of Transportation tightened the rules on July 1, 2013, limiting the number of hours long-haul truckers can be behind the wheel. The new rules state they can only drive 11 hours in a 14-hour day. Then they have to take a 10-hour break. Also, their average workweek can't exceed 70 hours (down from 82 hours previously), after which they have to take a 34-hour break that includes at least two nights of sleep between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., hours the DOT claims are most critical to ensuring proper rest.
Then there's enforcement.
Drivers are required to fill out a daily logbook, which has to be sent once a month to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
However, unless a trucker gets pulled over for a traffic violation, weigh stations are about the only roadside checkpoints for monitoring logbooks. And every long-haul trucker knows the best time to run is when the stations are closed. That doesn't imply they're a reckless bunch of renegades. It simply means they think of inspections as lost time. Since time is money, especially for independent owner-operators paid by the load, they're pretty good at finding out when scales are closed, when they're open, and which roads offer the best detours around them. There are even websites for that.
So loopholes exist for those tempted to stray from the honor system.
As for safety, when the DOT put its new driving limitations in place it estimated they would save 19 lives a year and prevent 1,400 accidents. Considering 32,850 people were killed on the nation's roads last year, that's a pretty modest improvement.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says that in 2010 (the latest year for which data are available), large trucks accounted for 4% of all registered vehicles but 9% of motor-vehicle crash deaths.
At the same time, FMCSA data show that only 1.4% of fatal truck accidents in 2010 were the result of truck -driver fatigue.
Meanwhile, a study of fatal car-truck crashes by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute found car drivers were at fault 71% of the time, truck drivers 16% of the time and both to blame 10% of the time. (The remaining 3% were no-fault collisions pegged to a combination of factors.)
This flips the safety question on its head: Trucks are more likely to get tripped up by cars than the other way around.
Among truckers' greatest nightmares are cars traveling alongside them in their blind spots, oblivious to the fact that truckers' peripheral vision is severely limited.
Another harrowing experience every trucker knows all too well is being cut off by a passenger car, whose driver has no clue that, at freeways speeds, a 40-ton rig needs about 200 more feet to stop than does a 2-ton sedan.
So who's afraid of whom?
As for those who might advocate taking trucks off the road to make travel safer for all, consider this: According to the latest DOT survey, trucks carry about 70% of the country's freight, measured by weight, and nearly 74% measured by commercial value. Changing this would require a massive revamping of the nation's infrastructure. Given that the United States struggles to maintain existing roadways, this probably isn't going to happen any time soon.

- More information : http://semanasantacrevillent.es/
- Autonomous region: Region of Valencia

Easter week in Crevillent (Alicante province), is a fusion of art, popular devotion, religion and tradition.
A multitude of events fill the town during these days, although the crucial moment in the celebration comes on Good Friday. In the early hours, cornets can be heard playing "dianas". These melodies are the signal for the start of the day's processions. At dawn, thousands of people come together to witness first hand the most emotional event for Crevillent residents: the Abrazo de la Morquera, where the figures of Our Holy Father Jesus Christ and the Virgen de los Dolores meet, on their way to Calvary. Also on Good Friday, in the evening, you can see the Death of Christ procession, the most spectacular of all, with choral music breaking the total silence of the procession, which features wooden statues of immense artistic worth.
Easter week is one of the most heartfelt and deep-rooted fiestas celebrated in Spain. This commemoration has centuries of history and tradition, remembering the passion and death of Jesus Christ. The streets of the majority of Spain's cities, towns and villages become the stage for religious fervour and devotion, combining grief and meditation in memory of Christ's death. Music, art and colour come together in magical processions - solemn parades in which crowds of people accompany religious images on their route through the streets.

Open the AirPod Case, then go to Settings > Bluetooth on your iOS device. Tap next to your AirPods in the list of devices. Here's what you can do:
Name your AirPods
Tap the current name. Then enter a new name for your AirPods and tap Done.
Change your double tap
Select the left or right AirPod in the Bluetooth screen and then choose what you want to happen when you double-tap the AirPod:
- Use Siri to control your audio content, change the volume, or do anything else Siri can do
- Play, pause, or stop your audio content
- Skip to the next track
- Go back to the previous track
Turn Automatic Ear Detection on or off
By default, AirPods sense when they're in your ear and receive the audio from your device. AirPods also pause and resume playback when you remove one of your AirPods, or stop playback—and won't resume—when you remove both. When you have Automatic Ear Detection on and you're not wearing your AirPods, audio plays through your device's speakers.
When you turn off Automatic Ear Detection, these features are off and all audio plays to your AirPods whether or not you're wearing them.
Set Microphone to left, right, or automatic
There's a microphone in each AirPod, so you can make phone calls and use Siri. By default, Microphone is set to Automatic, so that either of your AirPods can act as the microphone. If you're using only one AirPod, that AirPod will be the microphone.
You can also set Microphone to Always Left or Always Right. These set the microphone to either the left or right AirPod. That AirPod will be the microphone even if you remove it from your ear or put it in the case.

Ye Receive No Witness Until…by Thaddeus
We (on this website) have emphasized the role of prayer in learning truth from God, but I must admit we have been leaving something out.
Some may get the impression that if any question arises, a good Mormon will kneel, ask God, and then 'pop!' the answer appears in their heads. This approach does work sometimes:
I knew a guy named Seth that couldn't for the life of him remember the name of an essay he was trying to explain to me. He was agonizing over it. You know the feeling — it's on the tip of your tongue… I suggested he pray about it. At first he thought that was a silly idea. Then he went into another room and came out a few minutes later, beaming. "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Seth said triumphantly, "I said a prayer and it just came to me."
This process is very similar to the scientific method: identify a problem, devise a test (prayer), perform the test, document the results, and adjust your actions to fit your new knowledge. The issue is that sometimes God wants to see (or wants us to see) how well we will adjust our actions before he gives us the answer. For example, it makes little sense for Him to affirm that Jesus is the Christ if you don't intend to ever become His disciple.
The Book of Mormon puts it like this, "…I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith." Ether 12:6
Thus, the action comes before the answer. This is called a 'leap of faith,' and shows God a token amount of trust in Him and His messengers. Elder David A. Bednar, an Apostle in the Church, gave this illustration:
Recall how the Israelites came to the river Jordan and were promised the waters would part, and they would be able to cross over on dry ground. Interestingly, the waters did not part as the children of Israel stood on the banks of the river waiting for something to happen; rather, the soles of their feet were wet before the water parted. The faith of the Israelites was manifested in the fact that they walked into the water before it parted. They walked into the river Jordan with a future-facing assurance of things hoped for. As the Israelites moved forward, the water parted, and as they crossed over on dry land, they looked back and beheld the evidence of things not seen. In this episode, faith as assurance led to action and produced the evidence of things not seen that were true. (Seek Learning by Faith, David A. Bednar)
So, when you ask God if the Book of Mormon is true, do it with real intent. Read it. Invest some time in it. Show the Lord that you are willing to step into the baptismal font if this really is His church. These are the prayers that receive mighty answers.
'You must learn to walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness; then the light will appear and show the way before you'
– Harold B. Lee, 11th president and prophet of the LDS Church
7 Responses to "Ye Receive No Witness Until…"
This sounds good, but when it comes to the book of Mormon the conditions are a little skewed. For instance, if I want God to reveal the long-forgotten sermon title to me then all I need do is trust. Whether he does so or not is up to him. However, to find out the validity of the Book of Mormon you are saying that one has to be immersed in it. I am guessing you wouldn't suggest someone do this with the Quran, the Satanic Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, or my child's Curious George book, right??
And if God has already shown someone through reason and His Spirit that another way is true why would he/she even think about asking about the Book of Mormon? Feeling the way that you do about your faith, would you read the Quran and ask "Allah" if it were true?
I am not afraid of the truth.
I know that God does not lie. I would encourage everyone to read all of the books you listed with prayerful attention. If there is truth in it, I want it.
Joseph F. Smith, 6th Prophet of the Church once declared: "We believe in all truth, no matter to what subject it may refer. No sect or religious denomination [or, I may say, no searcher of truth] in the world possesses a single principle of truth that we do not accept or that we will reject. We are willing to receive all truth, from whatever source it may come; for truth will stand, truth will endure."
It must be said that we don't even believe that the Book of Mormon has a monopoly on the truth. It contains truth, to be sure, but there is truth everywhere. Anytime a person hears the truth of the Lord and asks God about it sincerely, an answer is given. The truth will stand out when prayerfully sought. Christ is the way, that is truth, and you can learn it for yourself through the Book of Mormon and the Bible.
I, myself, bought a Qu'ran not too long ago and I hope to read and gather as much truth from it as I can so I can apply it in my life. The Bhagavad Gita and Curious George assuredly also contain lessons on their respective levels. From my brief research on the Satanic Bible, it supports selfishness and fulfilling one's desires. I clearly see that this idea has led to untold suffering the world over. So in this example, I quickly assess what the source professes to contain and then I investigate more deeply. Should I fail to act to find the truth, it can be only to my detriment.
There is, however, only one true answer for every question, something I very much believe. Truth is not affected by perception or circumstance. Avoidance of truth or disregard of it never leads to anything good in the end.
So I suppose the real question is: Was Joseph Smith a true prophet? If the Book of Mormon is an accurate book of history and scripture, then he must be. That is what every LDS missionary seeks to prove, not by wit, sheer logic or any other earthly means, but by faith and a simple prayer. Those people who join the church are not completely immersed in the Book of Mormon at the time of conversion in terms of knowledge. On the contrary, they know little about it. But when they read with a willing mind and heart, the sureness comes piece by piece.
I think we are talking past each other…
I should clarify… you would not be expected to pray to your deity, but rather to the deity of the book you are reading. Hence my question, "Would you read the Quran and ask Allah if it is true?" or read the Satanic Bible and ask Satan if it were true?
Do you see the disconnect?
I have prayed about the Book of Mormon, whether it is true or false and I get a big 'False'. So, we have one of two options for discussion – end the discussion or offer up some objective reason why something is true, or rather – how it is not false (ie. refute substantial evidence that it is: no genetic link between native americans and semitic people, no language link, mention of things that did not exist in the Americas before the Europeans, and the fact that no non-Mormon archaeologist affirms the validity of the geography or anthropology set forth in the BOM).
For me it is like this, I know that one plus one equals two. If you come and say, "no it really equals three… I prayed about it," then I really can't argue with you. And when I look at all the things the BOM affirms I keep seeing 'one plus one equals three… '
I really don't mean to be pretentious with this, but I believe I have a legitimate issue that FAIR doesn't give a solid answer to.
Thank you for your comments, Jeremy.
I would pray to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ to find the truth of such books, because this is the name I have come to trust to lead me into all truth.
For those of other faiths reading the Book of Mormon, I would suggest they pray about the book in the name of Jesus Christ also. This could be to them a large enough 'leap of faith' for the Father to send His Spirit and provide an answer.
You say you received the answer 'false,' but can you honestly say you would have dropped your own ministry and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS if He had told you it was 'true?' I know that's a big leap. I don't want you to answer me on that question; answer the question quietly to yourself in your heart. That way you can be completely honest.
It is true that one can come to know spiritually, the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon without reading it. Hundreds, even thousands early in church history heard only of its origin, and with a desire to know whether it be true, got what they felt was an answer to their prayers. So strong was their conviction that they abandoned everything (sometimes their childhood families) and came to what they were convinced was Zion.
Having said that, one needs to study enough about the Book of Mormon's origin and/or sample its contents to create the desire to want to know whether it has truth from a least a purely neutral intent. (As the book itself tells you.) If you bring with you an agenda to disprove it, that will likely be the result.
As for the God to whom you pray, that which you study should lead you (along with your true search as to what kind of entity you should worship as your God)to a point where you feel you have found the one an only true God. So, if your study of the Quran leads you to believe that Allah is the one true God, then pray to that entity and see if you can say that you have received confirmation that you are in the right place. But, if you cannot say that after your search, then it seems to me you would want to search elsewhere.
I think one should always ask themselves, "Does my religion answer my deepest questions to my satisfaction?" Does the doctrine, the more I study and observe, build on my faith and "fit" my ever changing world view. Is it internally consistent, and does it lead me to a life I believe with all my heart will lead me to the happiest life I can lead on this earth and to the highest eternal reward with my family that is possible hereafter? AND do I feel a deep and abiding spiritual conviction that cannot be impeached.
This is the conviction that I have.
As a Catholic I can say everything that grandpa paul said at the end of his post. But I don't just have a feeling that my faith is true, I also have reason and history to prove it also. I have all that you have plus a lot more. I have the fulness of truth but you have a deception of feelings. Truth is objective not subjective.

Our Quality
Nursing and rehabilitation centers across the country have adapted to meet the diverse needs of today's patients and residents. When people leave the hospital, they often need continued care in order to recover completely. That is where we come in, bridging the gap between hospital and home.
Short-Term Rehabilitation or Transitional Care and Rehabilitation
As patients have become more medically and clinically complex, we have focused on services to meet their changing needs. Our Transitional Care and Rehabilitation Centers are shaping the future of our nursing and rehabilitation centers. These centers focus on patients who require short-term rehabilitative care. Generally they are recuperating from joint surgery or other procedures and need an intensive, supervised rehabilitation regimen. Rehabilitation services include physical, occupational and speech-language therapies.
Outcomes Excellence
We demonstrate our dedication to quality care and performance improvement through the outcomes data that we measure and report. Concordia Care monitors re-hospitalization rates, length of stay, discharge disposition, functional outcome measures and customer satisfaction. We utilize this data to improve our quality and build post-acute care relationships that help reduce avoidable re-hospitalizations, establish appropriate patient goals and plans of care for successful return to home.
Dementia and Alzheimer's Care
While we are advancing our rehabilitative services, Concordia understands a great percentage of our residents have some sort of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. Many of our nursing and rehabilitation centers specialize in the unique challenges facing these residents and offer a supportive and safe environment for the resident, and peace of mind for their families.

Mumbai: Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal, who became the world number 2 last week after a gap of two years, today said she is aiming for the top slot this year.
"I am working hard and performances are coming. Now that I am number 2, I will definitely reach number 1," Saina told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Mumbai.
"There are so many tournaments this year. Almost 15-20 tournaments. The goal is to perform well in all the events and do well in the World Championships, which is important. World number 1 is also my aim, so hopefully I will achieve it. Let`s see," she added.
Asked how she keeps herself motivated, the Olympic bronze medallist said, "It`s a difficult job to do. Chinese are really tough to play against. The number one is also Chinese, with almost 12,000 points more than me. It is not easy to become world number one. I will try to do it. Nothing is impossible.
"I have made many things possible, so I hope I can make this also possible. The amount of hard work which I put in my game is really important. Motivation comes from winning, and that is what keeps me going," she said.
After creating history last year by winning the bronze medal at the London Olympics, Nehwal said she is carrying the momentum this year too.
"It was a fantastic year. Won almost five tournaments. Won the Olympic bronze medal for the first time in Indian badminton history. It was such a wonderful year, it gave me lot of motivation to do well for this year as well. It has started well, performed well in the two tournaments," she said.
Setting her sight on the All England Open Badminton Championships starting on March 5, the 22-year-old said she will train for a month for the tourney.
"There are lot more tournaments this year. The All England and World Championships which I am looking forward to. The important thing is the time of practice, which I didn`t get so much. I have been playing too many tournaments. Now I have a proper one month break, and hopefully will do well in the All England," she said.
Parupalli Kashyap also features in the top 10 of men`s single, and Nehwal said the sport is improving in the country.
"Indian badminton is coming up well. We have two top 10 players from India and (P V) Sindhu is number 16 now. So it is good that we are improving," she said.

Carolyn Bick, special to wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Vacuum cleaners across America may be gathering dust — and not in a good way.
Kenmore surveyed 1,029 American adults online last month to find out how often they use their vacuums.
The survey found 10 percent of those surveyed only vacuum when they know company is coming.
In fact, 49 percent of those surveyed admitted they only clean when the see dirt and don't bother to move the furniture. They skip areas under rugs, and under and behind furniture.
Most of these corner-cutters are women.
The vacuum-keeping company says these infrequent cleaning habits could mean survey respondents are missing more than 100,000 dust mites per square yard of carpet.
One-third of the all the women between 18 and 54 who responded said they clean every day, while half of these women ages 35 and older said they clean weekly. The survey did not offer any data on how often men clean.
The survey conducted by Russell Omnibus also found a majority people 55 and older said their kitchen floors are the dirtiest floors in their houses. Of younger respondents, only 41 percent said their kitchen floors are the dirtiest.
When it comes to taking off their shoes to keep dirt and allergens from being tracked in, the survey found 50 percent don't bother.

Hospital workers gather at capitol to protest funding cuts
Hundreds of employees of the state's hospitals are expected to converge on Hartford on Thursday to oppose hospital funding cuts that are included in Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposed budget.
The workers will gather from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Legislative Office Building for Connecticut Hospital Day to talks to legislators about the proposed cuts, which would slash about $550 million in funding over two years. Since the budget was proposed, hospitals have lobbied hard against the reduction, which Connecticut Hospital Association spokeswoman Michele Sharp called devastating.
"These cuts would really pull the rug out from under us," Sharp said. "We need targeted reforms. Not cuts."
In response to the proposal, hospitals quickly rallied employees and the public to demand their legislators restore funding. The CHA put a form letter on its website that citizens and employees could easily fill in and send to their representatives in the state government. So far, more than 96,000 emails have been sent opposing the reductions.
The majority of cuts would include payments the hospitals receive to cover the costs of the uninsured. The payments would be cut in half in Fiscal Year 2014, resulting in a reduction of $200 million to the states hospitals. There would be another reduction of $341 million in fiscal year 2015, which would totally eliminate the payments for uncompensated care.
The state's rationale for cutting those payments is that, as federal health care reforms go into effect, there will be fewer uninsured seeking treatment at hospitals. Hospital officials, on the other hand, say that even with reform there will still be those who don't qualify for insurance. Also, Sharp said, the budget cuts could mean staffing reductions and other belt-tightening measures.
Many hospitals in the region plan to have significant representation Thursday. William Powanda, vice president of Griffin Hospital in Derby, said a couple dozen Griffin employees have already signed up to go and more are expected to join by Thursday, when a bus will take them to Hartford.
"They are a cross section of the workforce and all volunteered to go and will use vacation, holiday or unpaid hours to participate," Powanda said in an email.
St. Vincent's Medical Center in Bridgeport intends to send a bus of about 50 workers and volunteers to the capitol, senior vice president Dianne Auger said. Over the next two years, the proposed cuts will mean a loss of about $30 million for St. Vincent's.
"That's not the kind of cut we can just absorb," Auger said.
Instead, the hospital will likely be forced to cut some programs and services. The specter of lost funding is more haunting given that many hospitals have already pared down their budgets greatly in recent year, she said.
"It's not like we're looking at organizations that are fat and have lots of surplus to cut," Auger said.

Solimar's mission is to provide solid research and policy analysis on land-use and related issues so that government land-use policymakers can make informed decisions. Land-use decisions are often made in a highly charged political environment, sometimes with little information about whether they will be effective. Solimar is committed to building a stronger base of solid knowledge with which to make decisions about local and regional land use, metropolitan growth patterns, and related policy concerns. We use a combination of geographical, statistical, and qualitative methods to provide a well-rounded view
Infill Development Policies and Site Identification
Solimar specializes in helping public agencies craft policies that "make infill work," and in helping private developers find infill sites. Our analytical methods combine current land use, market conditions, the regulatory environment, aerial photography, GIS data, and other datasets to assess available land resources in an innovative way.
Transferable Development Rights
Solimar has devised and assessed transferable development rights programs throughout the country. Unlike other TDR consultants, Solimar uses expertise in environmental and land economics and brings a market-oriented approach to TDR projects, thus helping to ensure that TDR systems actually achieve land conservation and urban development goals in their implementation.
Growth Management and Smart Growth Policy
Solimar also has a wide range of experience in evaluating other planning policies and tools, including the creation and assessment of growth management systems as well as implementation assistance for "smart growth" policies.
Demographics and Economics
In the arena of demographic and economic, Solimar can combine conventional analytical tools with innovative approaches that once again provide a level of detail and sophistication lacking in most planning reports.
Other Services
Solimar also provides a variety of other services, including:

First Look: WildCraft Sourdough Pizza, Los Angeles
Note: First Looks give previews of new drinks and menus we're curious about. Since they are arranged photo shoots and interviews with bars and restaurants, we do not make critical evaluations or recommendations.
Just one week into service, and WildCraft Sourdough Pizza is already a hot contender in the Los Angeles pizza scene.
The team behind WildCraft comes from Abigaile Restaurant, a fusion-style operation in Hermosa Beach. The lack of pizza on Abigaile's menu might raise some questions, but it turns out that these boys have done their fair share of homework. Chef Tin Vuong earned his pizza stripes at the Americas branch of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, where he studied under Peppe Miele. General Manager Michael Barson and partner Chris Stone headed to Italy, where they, too, studied at the VPN, before working with Massimo Di Porzio at Ristorante Umberto. The trio took their well-honed respect for the craft of Neapolitan pizza and decided to carry it into sourdough territory.
The pizzeria's name refers to the wild yeast in Vuong's 30-year-old sourdough starter, a live culture that the staff fondly refers to as 'Betty.' Chef Tin has been cultivating his crusts for the past 8 months, with friends like Dean Kim of OC Bakery offering advice along the way. He lost some time when Betty first came to WildCraft—it turned out that she wasn't so pleased with the sudden climate change—but with a little love and twice daily feedings, she bounced back a week later.
Vuong took me into the dough room, explaining that his sourdough's pungent scent and tart-sour flavor are owed to a 3-day period of fermentation and proofing. Working with live cultures presents unique challenges, especially with a starter as temperamental as Betty; the chef aims for a finished dough that is glossy and relaxed.
The open kitchen holds a naked Stefano Ferrara, under a shelf of Ciao San Marzano tomatoes. And while WildCraft doesn't offer takeout, on the principal that pizza travels poorly, the restaurant is spacious and designed to seat large crowds. Diners in the mood for a drink can order from Vuong's selection of West Coast wines and craft beers.

How to win fear of surgery
I am a surgeon who works every day with people waiting for surgery. Fear and anxiety are constantly present in the life of my patient. I have searched and developed techniques that effectively work to reduce fear and to build confidence. They are important because a positive approach helps living a full life before surgery and even better helps recovering fast consenting people to be back to the normal and joyful life as soon as possible.
I am going to give away for free a DVD with the basic techniques and I am going to offer online coaching.
I do have a website http://www.howtowinfearofsurgery.com/blog (under construction) and if I am happy with the logo I will likely ask to the winner to personalize my website
The product will target 2 main markets
1) people undergoing surgery (50-70 years old)
2) relatives of people undergoing surgery that could buy a gift (younger and more internet friendly)
Unleash your creativity starting from...
...the logo must convey confidence, positivity, victory, speed, professionality.
Most importantly it has to convey the message of customisation/ attention to the difference among people...
