Orioles sign Jair Jurrjens to minor league contract

The wait on Jair Jurrjens is finally over.

Three weeks after the right-hander reportedly agreed to a major league deal with the Orioles, the club announced Friday night that it has instead signed Jurrjens to a minor league deal with an invitation to major league spring training.

Jurrjens, 27, is expected to arrive in camp Saturday, in time for the team’s first full-squad workout of the spring.

According to sources, Jurrjens and the Orioles agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million major league deal (with $2.5 million more available in bonuses) on Jan. 25, pending a physical. The results of that physical became a sticking point, though, especially because of the nagging problems Jurrjens has had with his right knee.

But the team still felt good enough about Jurrjens’ outlook to give him a minor league deal.

"Jair Jurrjens has a good track record and is still young," Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said in a text message. "We hope he can regain the form which made him an All-Star in 2011."

Since becoming a National League All-Star in 2011, Jurrjens has struggled. Last season, he was 3-4 with a 6.89 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) for the Atlanta Braves, spending much of the season at Triple-A. The Braves did not tender him a contract this winter, making him a free agent.

Jurrjens owns a 53-37 career record and 3.62 ERA. He was 12-3 with a 1.87 ERA at the 2011 All-Star break, but had lost seven of his last 11 big league decisions since then.

After days of vetting Jurrjens’ medical information, the Orioles have been closing in on a minor league deal over the past two days. That came to fruition Friday night.

Jurrjens had been working out in Tampa, which is roughly an hour north of the Orioles' spring home in Sarasota.

Signing Jurrjens to a minor league deal is a low-cost maneuver. He will likely compete for a job in the Orioles’ starting rotation, but if he doesn’t make it, he can be sent to Triple-A Norfolk. He has two minor league options remaining, but those options would only come into play once he is added to the team's 40-man roster.

Jurrjens underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee following the 2010 season to repair a torn meniscus but said last week that he believed the leg never regained strength last season. Jurrjens saw a dip in velocity, his average fastball speed dropping 2.7 mph since the end of the 2010 season.

But he said the knee feels much stronger now and is confident he can regain the form that made him one of the NL’s most promising young starters less than two years ago.

Disney's profit and revenue soar on "Oz," parks, ESPN

Walt Disney Co. reported a massive jump in net income for its fiscal second quarter, lifted by the performance of its media networks, movie studio and theme parks.

The Burbank company posted net income of $1.51 billion for the quarter that ended March 30, up 32% from a year earlier. Revenue rose 10% to $10.55 billion.

Disney, the world's largest entertainment and media company, posted adjusted earnings per share of 79 cents, up from 58 cents a year earlier. The company beat the expectations of analysts who predicted earnings per share of 77 cents.

PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments

“With adjusted earnings per share up 36% over last year, we're obviously pleased with our second quarter,” Robert A. Iger, chairman and chief executive of Disney, said in a statement. “Our results reflect our successful strategy, the strength of our brands and the value of our high-quality creative content, all of which continue to drive long-term growth and shareholder value.”

Shares of Disney rose $1.01 on Tuesday to $66.07, not far from an all-time high of $66.09 set earlier in the day. The stock rose to $66.27 in after-hours trading.

Disney's Media Networks Group, which includes ABC and ESPN, posted an operating income of $1.86 billion, up 8%. Revenue rose 6% to $4.96 billion. Although its broadcast division saw operating income fall 40% to $138 million -- due in part to higher prime-time programming costs -- the operating income of the company's cable networks was up 15% to $1.72 billion. Disney partly attributed the gain in the cable business to increased affiliate revenue for ESPN.

The company's movie studio had a strong quarter, posting operating income of $118 million. The studio said that it performed well in part due to the release of "Oz The Great and Powerful," which has grossed $228.9 million domestically and $256.2 million abroad. A year earlier, the film studio posted an operating loss of $84 million -- the result of a $200 million write-down on the sci-fi movie "John Carter." The film had a global gross of $282.8 million, but was estimated to have a production budget of $250 million.

Disney's parks and resorts posted operating income of $383 million -- a gain of 73% from a year earlier. Disney said the strong performance was largely due to an increase in business at its domestic properties.

Disney's interactive division posted an operating loss of $54 million, a slight improvement from the same quarter a year earlier, when it lost $70 million. Revenue was up 8% to $194 million.

REVIEW: 'Oz the Great and Powerful' a rough slog on the yellow brick road

On Monday, Disney announced that it had struck a deal with video game developer Electronic Arts Inc. that will see that company make and publish new "Star Wars" games.

Under the exclusive, multi-year agreement, Electronic Arts will develop titles for "all interactive platforms and the most popular game genres" related to "Star Wars." Disney retains certain rights to develop games for mobile, social, tablet and online platforms, the companies said.

It wasn't the only bit of postive pre-earnings news for the company. "Iron Man 3," from Disney's Marvel Studios, grossed $174.1 million domestically in its first weekend of release. The film's opening run trailed only that of Disney and Marvel Studios' "The Avengers," which was released last summer and took in $207.4 million over its debut weekend. As of Monday, "Iron Man 3" had already grossed $504.8 million abroad.

The success of the film should buoy the company moving forward, said Disney analyst Harold Vogel, president of Vogel Capital Management, in an interview before the earnings release.

"Earnings should have an all-around positive feel to it, especially given 'Iron Man 3,'" he said. "I am sure they will play that up and say they have a great quarter coming."

Neil Patrick Harris: Hedwig, not me, cursed at a fan during show

Neil Patrick Harris -- nay, his character Hedwig -- let an angry F-bomb fly during a performance of the Broadway musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" on Saturday.

The "How I Met Your Mother" star, who plays an angsty, transgender rock musician in the show, was reportedly reacting to a female fan who yelled out "I love you, Neil!" during the show, according to Page Six.

The actor shouted, "I'm doing something up here!" -- adding a derogatory term that we won't republish -- and his response was met with rapturous applause, the tab said.

PHOTOS: Neil Patrick Harris and more of our favorite celebrity couples

But that's just the short of it.

The long of it includes the actor taking to Twitter later to explain the outburst, which he chalks up to a reaction that his character had, not himself.

"It seems my Hedwig improvs are making news, but one should have the full story/context ... #thanks," he wrote.

The Emmy Awards and Tony Awards host then linked to a Gossip Cop story that said Hedwig was indeed the culprit.

PHOTOS: Hollywood stars on stage

"The response to the fan yelling was actually done in character — Neil as Hedwig, not as though Neil stopped the show to respond out of character," a rep for Harris told the website.

Would that we could all use the same excuse ...

Anyway, Gossip Cop said the show is "highly improvisational" and Harris and his costar Lena Hall used the outburst as an opportunity to do something that their alter egos might do:

"When the fan initially yelled, 'I love you, Neil,' Neil (as Hedwig) then responded, 'Who's Neil? I'm not Neil.' He then looked over at Yitzhak (played by Lena Hall) and said, 'Are you Neil? You better not be Neil,' followed by Hedwig then offering the quote in question."

The rep added that "it was all done in good fun, and fully in the context of the show. The audience went crazy and it really was a light-hearted moment, which is not being properly contextualized in any of these various posts."

And that's something we're trying to do here, ... !

Woman standing on I-5 shoulder killed by small SUV

CHP identifies woman killed in crash along Interstate 5

Authorities on Monday identified a woman who was killed Sunday while standing behind a pickup truck and trailer along Interstate 5 near Castaic.

Cynthia Ray, 36, of Bakersfield died shortly before 2 p.m., when the driver of a small SUV hit her as she stood on the shoulder of the freeway's northbound lanes, just north of Lake Hughes Road.

The California Highway Patrol said the chain of events that sent four other people to the hospital began when the drivers of two pickup trucks pulling trailers, traveling together, stopped to check the tie-downs on their motorcycles and a small boat.

Jason Trinidad, 24, the driver of the SUV, drifted onto the shoulder, striking Ray, who was standing behind the truck with the trailer.  She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two others were struck by debris from the collision and suffered minor to moderate injuries, as did Trinidad and his passenger, the CHP said.

Two northbound freeway lanes were closed for several hours for the crash investigation, causing a major backup.

In eastern Massachusetts, the number of kids under age six who are obese declined significantly in recent years -- a trend that might be happening nationwide as well, according to a new study.

On the down side, obesity rates among lower-income children remain more stubbornly stable, researchers report in the journal Pediatrics.

Like Us on Facebook

Recent studies have shown that after decades of rising obesity rates among U.S. kids and teens, the numbers seem to be leveling off.

But less has been known about young children specifically, said Dr. Xiaozhong Wen, of Harvard Medical School and the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute in Boston.

Patterns in that age group are important, Wen said, because they give a glimpse into the future of the national obesity problem.

So his team looked at obesity trends among kids younger than six who were seen at greater-Boston-area pediatric offices.

The researchers found that after holding steady between 1999 and 2003, the obesity rate began to fall after 2004.

By 2008, just under nine percent of boys were obese, compared with almost 11 percent between 1999 and 2004. Among girls, the obesity rate declined from over eight percent to just over six percent.

The trend was similar to what was going on nationwide at the time, the study found. But Massachusetts children had a lower obesity rate than the national norm, and the decline over time was sharper.

Based on federal health survey figures, just over 10 percent of two- to six-year-olds in the U.S. were obese in 2008. That was down from 14 percent in 2004.

The rate among children younger than two, though, stayed steady at 9.5 percent.

The findings raise the possibility that young children in eastern Massachusetts may be "leading a new wave of better weight status," according to Wen.

Or that at least may be true of young children with private insurance, he said.

"We didn't see much change in children on Medicaid, unfortunately," Wen told Reuters Health. Medicaid is the government health insurance program for the poor.

Of Massachusetts children on Medicaid, 11.5 percent were obese in 2008, which was down from just over 12 percent in 2004.

Wen's team found a similar trend in a national database that tracks mostly low-income U.S. children. There, the obesity rate remained stable between 2004 and 2008 -- at almost 15 percent among children between the ages of two and six.

It's not clear why obesity was generally less prevalent among Massachusetts kids versus the nation as a whole, Wen said.

But one reason, he noted, could be the higher percentage of Asian-American children in the Massachusetts study group. In addition, families in the state sample may have been higher-income versus the national average.

Wen said he could not say for sure why obesity is declining among young children in Massachusetts, and possibly nationwide as well.

He speculated, though, that greater awareness of the problem and pediatric screening for obesity could be playing a role.

Wen also noted that smoking during pregnancy, which has been linked with an increased risk of childhood obesity, has declined. At the same time, breastfeeding -- which is associated with lower obesity risk in kids -- has become more common.

Those are all potential factors, agreed Bettylou Sherry, a researcher at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who also worked on the study.

Another is the fact that birth weights nationwide have "unexpectedly" declined since 2000, Sherry told Reuters Health in an email.

Some studies, but not all, have linked birth weight to obesity later in life.

Nonetheless, the rate of obesity among two- to 19-year-olds nationwide has held steady since 2000, hovering around 17 percent, according to the CDC. That came after 20 years of rapidly rising rates.

Wen said it will be important to figure out why obesity among young children -- at least the privately insured -- may be waning. Knowing what measures are working "will help us use our health resources more efficiently," he said.

Just as important will be figuring out why lower-income kids are not showing much, if any, improvement.

"This study raises the possibility that the socioeconomic disparity is widening," Wen said. "That's our concern."

For parents, he said the important thing is to realize that obesity prevention at a young age is "critical."

"Obesity is not an easy thing to manage at a later age," Wen said.

In general, experts recommend limiting kids' time in front of the TV and computer, and giving them plenty of "whole foods" -- like fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy and fiber-rich grains -- instead of sugar-, salt- and fat-laden processed foods.

Wen said it's also important for parents to be "good role models" -- exercising and eating their own fruits and vegetables, if they want their kids to do the same.

I went to the Ctrl+C festival last night with some friends. I originally went there for a couple of reasons: one was that I really wanted to see Prefuse 73, who was headlining alongside Plaid, and the other was that I wanted to check out the festival as I’m working on a festival-like project of my own and so this could also be treated as field research of sorts.

We arrived a little later than planned and went straight to the venue, which in the case of Prefuse and Plaid’s show was the Teatro Communale, a classic Italian theater in the small town of Carpi, near Modena, where they hold operas, ballets and the likes. Before we’d even got there I had an idea of what it might be like to see Prefuse and Plaid in a space like this, a classic musical environment re-appropriated for electronic music and a new generation of music makers, but it turned out to be even more surprising than I ever thought it might be.

We made it to the Teatro half an hour late (Italian dinner duties obliging, you can’t rush food in this country no matter what), and promptly got ushered by dilligent staff to some available spaces in the booths that form part of the Teatro in a 180 degree arch in front of the stage, and that’s when I realised that this show was gonna be nothing like I imagined. Where I thought the theater space might be reclaimed and turned into a club of sorts, with people standing around, drinking, possibly even dancing, it was actually the music and the performer that were reclaimed by the space. Everyone was sitting in total darkness, whether on the ground floor or in the classic opera booths spread across 4 floors, while Prefuse was on stage, alone with his laptop and effects units (and what looked like a drum controller though our booth was quite far so couldn’t quite see it). Faint coloured lights were shining on a screen behind him and the music he was making was blasting throughout the venue. Surreal hardly begins to describe it.

He finished to a wave of applause and screams of encore and the lone table with all his equipment which had occupied the stage was swiftly replaced by another one with a mixing desk and 2 laptops for Plaid’s live show, in a sense Act 2 of a totally surreal opera. As the lights came on for the break between acts, the classical splendour of the venue hit me. Having been ushered during the first act, it wasn’t until then that I realised just how ‘classic’ the Teatro Communale was. Definitely no reappropriation of the space going on there. Plaid came on, appropriated by the space in a similar way that Prefuse had been: total darkness, fixated, sat-down audience, big sound and in their case visuals playing on the screen behind them. Where Prefuse had given the audience his own take on hip hop and beats, all glitch, repeated drums and edits layered together and weaved into a 45 minute ‘piece,’ Plaid played track after track, stopping at the end of each, which the audience would take as a cue to clap, not doing seemingly much with their equipment and never weaving anything together other than, as one of my friends put it at the end of set, ‘screen saver music.’

Shortly after we found ourselves in a bar near the venue, and talking to a friend about what we’d just seen it all fell into place in my head. Prefuse’s set had ‘worked’ while Plaid’s hadn’t, and talking about it and trying to understand why we both felt this way, it kind of hit us.

This was an event where the space was an integral part of the experience. As my friend remarked, she goes to ballet and opera often but never takes notice of the space. Whereas last night the space never once left her, or my, mind during either live set.

Prefuse makes the kind of music which could be, albeit lazily, tagged or called ‘head music.’ He makes beats and hip hop tracks that can be a very personal experience, music for headphones, for walking around streets and soaking in the urban environment, a new kind of hip hop, one that is often not what people might think hip hop can be. Trying to put his music into a club context is always going to be difficult, and someone I know in London who DJed with him the night before remarked that his set then was lost in the size and hustle of the bar.

What I realised was that would Prefuse have done the set he did last night in a club, especially an Italian club, people would have just looked at each other and most likely walked away thinking ‘what is this?’. But within the space of the theater, with darkness and a focused audience (focused either by choice or physical restriction) his set and his music took on an entirely different dimension, one that worked well, captivating an audience that probably would never have given him the time of the night had they been in a more traditional space or setting for ‘modern electronic music.’ In a sense Prefuse re-appropriated this classic Italian musical space, and to an extent classic Italian culture, as much as the space was appropriating him and his music. The result being that his live set effectively turned into a sort of opera for the beat generation, all rough around the edges, glitchy and skipping with plenty of dub and echoes drifting around the room and pretty much no reaction from the audience for the duration, until the end when people burst into applause for a good few minutes, not unlike what might have happened for a classic opera.

As for Plaid, their set and their music had a much different impact within the same setting. Where Prefuse makes hip hop that is more ‘personal’ and can be more difficult to transfer to a traditional live context, Plaid are much more club friendly, moving between elements of dub, jungle, breakbeat, electro and house, with a much faster overall bpm and a much ‘cleaner’ sound. In the context of the Teatro though, with the seated and fixated audience it didn’t translate as well. Within 15 minutes of their set I was starting to feel really antsy, itching to move and express my appreciation for the music in a way that didn’t involve being sat down and taking it in.

Their use of visuals didn’t help either, giving something other than their physical presence to focus on but also allowing your attention to be taken away from the music and from the space. By the end I’d realised that in their case, had they been put into a club context their set would have worked wonders, especially in Italy, because it fits the idea of what club music should be, high bpm, high energy and not particularly deep or involving. In the context of the Teatro however, the space ended up limiting the music and its impact. Instead of the music being appropriated by the setting, as it was, it should have been the setting re-appropriated by the music, with people standing around, drinking and dancing as they would in a normal club setting but within the traditional space of the Teatro. This isn’t always possible and was obviously not the focus of the night, but ultimately it ended up affecting the impact of their set, especially when put alongside Prefuse’s first act.

In Prefuse’s case, the setting allowed the music to take on another dimension. The Teatro appropriated his music and in a sense amplified it, gave it a new context within which to be appreciated, a fairly ‘arty’ one but one that worked. Plaid’s music on the other hand didn’t feel ‘right’ for the setting, and the process of appropriation didn’t work, it lacked something and the focus didn’t feel right. As much as I enjoyed the more high bpm tracks, I didn’t want to be hearing Jungle while sat in a booth with no possibility to move or express my appreciation for the music and the beat. This difference between the two performers and their music within this unique space and setting bugged me until I managed to put my finger on it later on in the night.

It wasn’t a concert and it wasn’t a club night. It was very much about the ‘art,’ about transposing modern electronic music within a classic setting for the sake of doing so. In the process, one of the artists found a new scope for their music and the other lost it. One thing that really annoyed me during Plaid’s set was the realisation that this event was typically Italian in a sense, where the fixation is put on the art element of the music at the expense of the feelings and pleasures music can give. These two things are related at various levels, and in the case of Prefuse the fixation on the ‘art’ actually highlighted the emotional element of his music more, putting the music forward in a new context and giving it an impact it can often fail to have within the standard context of a club or a live venue. But for Plaid that fixation withdrew any emotion from the music, rendering their ‘club friendly’ set a little dull and difficult to sit through, even though plenty of people seemed happy to sit down and clap dilligently after every track, as if it was totally normal to withdraw any physical element from the music they were hearing.

Beyond the differences the traditional setting highlighted between the two sets, it also made me think about Prefuse’s role within the new generation of beat makers and producers that are currentlyl reclaiming hip hop. Prefuse could well be seen as a precursor, founding father, whatever you want to call it, of the current generation of producers. Alongside Dabrye and others like El-P, he helped shape a new understanding for instrumental hip hop and hip hop productions, an understanding not just anchored in the influences of pioneering producers, such as soul, funk and jazz, but also in more modern sound aesthetics and electronic music. With this in mind, seeing him last night in this surreal setting and thinking about what that implied made me think about the implications for this new generation of producers and their music, whether we call it beats, wonky, lazer bass or whatever else takes people’s fancy. It’s cheesy, but towards the end of Prefuse’s set the idea came to my mind that this was an opera for the beat generation. It’s a shame that a different, more ‘arty’ setting is required to allow Prefuse to really put his music across without driving people away, but in a country like Italy that’s unfortunately what’s needed to an extent because there is little understanding or appreciation within the greater public of what producers like him are doing.

If we take someone like Flying Lotus on the other hand, one of the new generation of producers, his live shows seem much conductive to a club setting, with a high energy put across by mixing beats and productions that span styles, genres and bpms. The same could be said of kids like Rustie and Hudson Mohawke. Speaking to artists and others, it seems that in certain places, like L.A., Glasgow or London, people can relate to beats and ‘head music’ in a club context even though it might not originally be made with that context of consumption in mind (especially if you’re to believe what some of these producers have said in previous interviews). But there are countries, and occasions even in those more understanding cities, where people are going to have a hard time relating to this new evolution of hip hop, and that’s when a new setting and context can help. To find a right balance between the art and the music, especially as a lot of these producers can now easily recreate the music they make at home live on stage with just a laptop and some peripherals tools, is probably the most important in the end, because it’s easy to lose one for the sake of the other, as happened with Plaid. Still the thought opens up a world of possibilities.

Catholic University's Clinical Training Program Rises in U.S. News Rankings

The clinical legal education programs at the Columbus School of Law are ranked 11 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report's annual Best Law Schools issue (Specialty Rankings: Clinical Training) released on April 23, 2009.

This year's placement elevates the legal clinical program five spots from last year's ranking and is based on votes by legal educators who nominated up to 15 schools in each field. For the first time ever, U.S. News also ranked part-time law programs. The Columbus School of Law's four-year evening J.D. program was ranked 21 among the approximately 85 part-time law programs offered in the U.S.

"The outstanding faculty members who are responsible for the continuing excellence of our legal clinic and training programs have enjoyed an unusually stellar year, even measured by their own high standards," said Dean Veryl Miles, referring to a number of prestigious awards and honors that the clinic's professors have garnered from peers within the past year. "I am gratified, but not surprised, that their dedication and hard work has translated into an enhanced standing in the U.S. News ranking of clinical training programs."

Overall, the Columbus School of Law was ranked 94 by U.S. News, keeping the law school in the Top 100.

The School of Law hosted its 99th consecutive Red Mass in September. Red Mass is an occasion for judges, lawyers, and officials of all faiths to pray together for guidance at the beginning of the new judicial term and join in the Renewal of the Lawyer’s Oath of Commitment.

The Oath is recited by all new lawyers in the State of Michigan as a mandatory part of swearing-in ceremonies. Renewal of the Oath is a voluntary means of reaffirming the pledge made at the onset of a lawyer’s career. This year’s Oath was led by Justice Brian K. Zahra (’87) of the Michigan Supreme Court. The celebrant of the Mass was Reverend Simon Hendry, S.J., Ph.D., a superior of the Jesuit Community and Director of the Catholic Studies Program at UDM.

Outdoor Cinema Food Fest: Food + Film = Happy Summer Nights

Outdoor Cinema Food Fest: Food + Film = Happy Summer Nights
Photo via Kman999's Flickr stream.

Are you a food lover or a film buff? But why pigeonhole ourselves. For those of us who refuse categorization, there's the upcoming Outdoor Cinema Food Fest, a summer celebration of both film and food. On eight upcoming Saturday nights, fans of good movies and great food (or both) are invited to convene at an L.A. park to enjoy a film on the big screen, (biggest outdoor screen on the west coast, in fact) as well as eats from the many food trucks that will be making an appearance.

Up first on July 10th, Swingers will play at Grand Hope Park downtown. They're keeping mum as far as which food trucks will be on site when, but the list of participants - including Frysmith, NomNom, Buttermilk, Coolhaus, the Grilled Cheese Truck and many more - indicates you can't really miss. The lineup of films is also pretty stellar, with The Big Lebowski, Pulp Fiction, The Hangover and The Breakfast Club all in the hopper, accompanied by a whole new batch of food trucks, of course. The full schedule is available on the event's website, and it's recommended you purchase tickets in advance.

All-access pass to top stories, events and offers around town.

Legal Question in Business Law in Egypt

The Trading Co.,

We're a company that imports automotive parts from the US.

We received a price quote and samples from a US supplier last year. They advised, then, they'll ship as soon as payment is received. In November 99, we placed an order, sent them full payment in advance. They, then, advised they have a delay and promised shipping to take place Jan. 2000. In Jan., they advised they won't be able to ship before May. In May they advised that shipment is now ready to go, they just need a new check since the one they have is too old. We sent a new one, they stopped replying to us till a few days ago when they sent us a fax advising they won't be able to ship since they do not have the parts requested, and that they'll be returning the check back to us. I wonder if there's any legal action that can be taken against them since we committed to supply those parts to a government authority through a tender. Now, we are facing delay penalty in addition to the fact that we'll have to supply the parts no matter what; we'll be buying them locally at a high price. We also spent a lot of money on phone calls, plus multiple bank fees to issue them checks twice.

Re: Claim

You have a valid claim. Documents have to be reviewed. However, you did not mention whether the check was cashed or returned. This company clearly caused a delay and would be responsible for any damages. The question that needs to be addressed is to determine whether the company is responsible financially to pay any judgement. I suggest that you immediately follow through with collection of this claim. Unfortunately a lot of time has passed since your message was posted. You need to consult with American legal counsel immediately.

Daniel Press Chung & Press, P.C.

Re: Claim

You have a claim for breach of contract for the difference between the amount you agreed to pay the supplier and what you have to pay to acquire the parts (plus the amount of the check if it was cashed). You need to make a reasonable effort to shop around for the lowest price reasonably available to obtain the parts, but that will almost certainly be higher than your agreed price due to the short notice. You should obtain counsel in the U.S. in the state where the seller is located, and act fast in case they are insolvent.

PHILADELPHIA—The Philadelphia Phillies have placed five-time All-Star second baseman Chase Utley on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique strain.

Utley could miss up to four weeks. The team will make a roster move before Friday's game at Washington.

"We do believe and hope that Chase will be ready to play in Philadelphia within 15 days," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "We are being cautious with this injury as it is a tricky one and want to make sure it isn't an issue for him throughout the season."

Utley is batting .272 with seven homers and 25 RBIs. Freddy Galvis has replaced him in the starting lineup.

Best Leadership Books of 2012

Best Leadership Books of 2012

THE WAYS we have thought about leadership have not always served us well. We have tended to think of leadership as something outside and above the rest. If leadership isn’t among, it will let us down.

Hierarchies are still important, but they must allow for freedom to act, think, and experiment in a way that encourages individual growth.

Moving ahead we need more clarity. We need to look at what we do with fresh eyes. As Andy Grove said to Gordon Moore, after a year of aimless wandering, “If we got kicked out and the board brought in a new CEO, what do you think he would do? … Why shouldn’t you and I walk out the door, come back, and do it ourselves?”

We need to step back and take another look. We have become mired in the organizational processes that are no longer relevant to the world we live in. It requires taking a fearless inventory of all that we do. And that takes courage.

Looking beyond the immediate result we seek or problem we are trying to solve or skirt, we need to continually ask, “What message are we sending?”

What is your approach to leadership?

How is that helping or hindering others?

How has your leadership style changed?

Are we sending the right message?

The list below represents my picks for the best leadership books of 2012. All of these books have helped us to look at the what and ask why?

In this activity you measure the sides and diagonals of squares, using the ruler supplied on screen.

To use the ruler, measure it on the screen with a string or the edge of a sheet of paper.

For example, this rectangle is about 3.3 units long. Measure it yourself to see if you agree. If you got 4.3 units, you may have lined up at 1 instead of at the edge of the ruler.

Once you have measured the rectangle and gotten an answer close to ours, you are ready to move on.

The Humble Shall Be Exalted - Luke 14:11

We have already learned that humility precedes honour, but how does this work? Our passage says, “whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” The word abased means to be brought low, while the word exalt means to be elevated. We find this truth reiterated in Matthew 23:12 and Luke 18:14, yet these verses do not explain how this happens. So what or who is at work behind the scenes to make this principle true? The Bible provides this answer in James 4:10 where the Bible says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” This is yet another principle that is contrary to our understanding. In our  finite minds, the way up is up and the way down is down; but according to the Bible, the way up is down and the way down is up.

  • (For smaller children) David was a man after God's own heart. He always wanted to do what the Lord said. When he disobeyed, he was sorry for his sin (Psalm 38:18). God took this boy who watched sheep and over a period of time, made him king of Israel.
  • Do you desire for the Lord to exalt you? How does the Bible teach us to receive this blessing? Are you willing to humble yourself before God?
  • Are you willing to live your life according to God’s plans or have you determined to do things your own way? Will you humble yourself and allow Him to exalt you?

  • Ask God to soften your heart toward Him.
  • Ask the Lord to teach you how to do things His way.

Lync 2013 (client): Upgrade and Coexistence Scenarios

One key task to identify and plan for migration to Lync Server 2013 is to find the right timing to rollout the latest version of Lync 2013 client. This typically takes place at the final stages prior to decommission of the existing version of Lync/OCS Server backend.

Lync 2013 (client): Upgrade and Coexistence Scenarios

The good news is that, unlike in the previous Lync Server 2010 version, existing Lync 2010 (N-1) as well as Office Communicator 2007 R2 (N-2) level clients are supported when a UC-enabled user account is homed on a Lync Server 2013 Front-End Pool. Clearly, new features such as integrated Persistent Chat, multi-party video, etc. will not be available while running older versions of supported Lync/MOC clients (N-1, N-2).

Even better, the converse is true; that is to say, you can safely deploy the Lync 2013 client first and be rest assured that it will work with a backend still running Lync Server 2010* while you continue to put the pieces of the 2013 infrastructure in place in a side-by-side co-existence scenario.

MOC 2007 R2 and Lync 2010 Group Chat clients, now known as Persistent Chat, behave a bit differently. Lync 2013 client (with integrated Persistent Chat feature) does not function with a N-2 level Group Chat Server (OCS 2007 R2). N-2, N-1 and N level Group/Persistent Chat clients all work with Lync Server 2013 Persistent Chat server backend.

* not OCS 2007 R2 though

Federal Appeals Judge James Ryan to retire

Calling his nearly 47 years of continuous service as a state and federal judge, ''an extraordinary privilege,'' United States Circuit Judge James L. Ryan has announced his retirement from the bench.

He will step down from active service as a U.S. Court of Appeals judge on September 3, 2010.

Ryan's long judicial career began with his election as a Justice of the Peace in Redford Township in 1963, followed by nine years as a Wayne Circuit Court Judge.

In 1975, he was appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court by Gov. William G. Milliken where he served as an associate justice for another 10 years.

In 1985, the-President Ronald Reagan selected Ryan for a lifetime appointment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, where he ha served fro 25 years.

Ryan said he was leaving the court ''in good health and eager to spend time on a number of projects-some in the law, some not-that have interested [him] for years.''

He added, "I've spent almost 47 wonderful years on the bench. I've loved the work, and still do, but I promised myself years ago that I'd 'hang it up' before I began to lose 'the hum on my curveball and my E.R.A. started rising.'"

Judge Ryan graduated from the University of Detroit School of Law in 1956 and immediately entered U.S. Navy Officer Candidate School.

He was commissioned a naval officer in May 1957 and served on active duty with the U.S. Marine Corps for three years as a military lawyer.

Upon release from active duty, he continued his military service for another 31 years as a Naval Reserve Military Judge and, in 1992, retired from the United States Naval Reserve with the rank of captain.

Judge Ryan has taught evidence, criminal procedure, and constitutional law at several law schools part time and lectured in judicial education programs in more than 30 states.

Ryan is married to Loretta Nagle Ryan. Both Judge and Mrs. Ryan's previous spouses are deceased.

''We have a happy and busy new life together,'' Ryan said. ''Our blended families comprise 10 adult children and 41 grandchildren, all living in Michigan.

"That tells you something about how active my retirement will be.''

WVC 3 - 1 - 41 §3-1-41. Challenged and provisional voter procedures; counting of provisional voters' ballots; ballots of election officials.
(a) It is the duty of the members of the receiving board, jointly or severally, to challenge the right of any person requesting a ballot to vote in any election:

(1) If the person's registration record is not available at the time of the election;

(2) If the signature written by the person in the poll book does not correspond with the signature purported to be his or hers on the registration record;

(3) If the registration record of the person indicates any other legal disqualification; or

(4) If any other valid challenge exists against the voter pursuant to section ten, article three of this chapter.

(b) Any person challenged shall nevertheless be permitted to vote in the election. He or she shall be furnished an official ballot not endorsed by the poll clerks. In lieu of the endorsements, the poll clerks shall complete and sign an appropriate form indicating the challenge, the reason thereof and the name or names of the challengers. The form shall be securely attached to the voter's ballot and deposited together with the ballot in a separate box or envelope marked "provisional ballots".

(c) At the time that an individual casts a provisional ballot, the poll clerk shall give the individual written information stating that an individual who casts a provisional ballot will be able to ascertain under the free access system established in this section whether the vote was counted and, if the vote was not counted, the reason that the vote was not counted.

(d) Before an individual casts a provisional ballot, the poll clerk shall provide the individual written instructions, supplied by the board of ballot commissioners, stating that if the voter is casting a ballot in the incorrect precinct, the ballot cast may not be counted for that election: Provided, That if the voter is found to be in the incorrect precinct, then the poll worker shall attempt to ascertain the appropriate precinct for the voter to cast a ballot and immediately give the voter the information if ascertainable.

(e) Provisional ballots may not be counted by the election officials. The county commission shall, on its own motion, at the time of canvassing of the election returns, sit in session to determine the validity of any challenges according to the provisions of this chapter. If the county commission determines that the challenges are unfounded, each provisional ballot of each challenged voter, if otherwise valid, shall be counted and tallied together with the regular ballots cast in the election. The county commission, as the board of canvassers, shall protect the privacy of each provisional ballot cast. The county commission shall disregard technical errors, omissions or oversights if it can reasonably be ascertained that the challenged voter was entitled to vote.

(f) Any person duly appointed as an election commissioner or clerk under the provisions of section twenty-eight of this article who serves in that capacity in a precinct other than the precinct in which the person is legally entitled to vote may cast a provisional ballot in the precinct in which the person is serving as a commissioner or clerk. The ballot is not invalid for the sole reason of having been cast in a precinct other than the precinct in which the person is legally entitled to vote. The county commission shall record the provisional ballot on the voter's permanent registration record: Provided, That the county commission may count only the votes for the offices that the voter was legally authorized to vote for in his or her own precinct.

(g) The Secretary of State shall establish a free access system, which may include a toll-free telephone number or an internet website, that may be accessed by any individual who casts a provisional ballot to discover whether his or her vote was counted and, if not, the reason that the vote was not counted.

West Virginia Code

Chapter 37     Entire Code
‹ Chapter 36B  |  Chapter 37A › Printer Friendly Versions
Chapter 37  |  Article 37 - 4  |  Section 2

WVC 37 - 4 - 1 §37-4-1. Who entitled to partition; jurisdiction; state as party plaintiff.
Tenants in common, joint tenants and coparceners of real property, including minerals, lessees of mineral rights other than lessees of oil and gas minerals and stockholders of a closely held corporation when there are no more than five stockholders and the only substantial asset of the corporation is real estate, shall be compelled to make partition, and the circuit court of the county wherein the land or estate, or any part thereof, may be, has jurisdiction, in cases of partition, and in the exercise of that jurisdiction, may take cognizance of all questions of law affecting the legal title, that may arise in any proceedings.

The state hereafter shall, whenever it is an owner of an undivided interest in any land or real estate, together with other persons, become a party plaintiff in any proceedings by any person entitled to demand partition under the first sentence of this section. Before instituting suit for partition the person entitled to demand it shall notify the proper official who has supervision of the state land and thereafter they shall proceed as they determine best. In all cases resulting in partition or sale the costs of suit shall come from the proceeds of sale. No state official in charge of state lands may refuse to perform his duty in any case where any person is entitled to demand a partition, or sale under this article.

WVC 37 - 4 - 2 §37-4-2. Allotting shares together.
Any two or more of the parties, if they so elect, may have their shares laid off together, when partition can be conveniently made in that way.

WVC 37 - 4 - 3 §37-4-3. Allotment or sale; procedure for allotment.
When partition cannot be conveniently made, the entire subject may be allotted to any party or parties who will accept it, and pay therefor to the other party or parties such sum of money as his or their interest therein may entitle him or them to; or in any case in which partition cannot be conveniently made, if the interests of one or more of those who are entitled to the subject, or its proceeds, will be promoted by a sale of the entire subject, or allotment of part and sale of the residue, and the interest of the other person or persons so entitled will not be prejudiced thereby, the court, notwithstanding the fact that any of those entitled may be an infant, insane person, or convict, may order such sale, or such sale and allotment, and make distribution of the proceeds of sale, according to the respective rights of those entitled, taking care, when there are creditors of any deceased person who was a tenant in common, joint tenant, or coparcener, to have the proceeds of such deceased person's part applied according to the rights of such creditors. Where it clearly appears to the court that partition cannot be conveniently made, the court may order sale without appointing commissioners. The court making an order for sale shall, when the dividend of a party exceeds the value of three hundred dollars, if such party be an infant, insane person, or convict, require security for the faithful application of the proceeds of his interest, in like manner as if the sale were made under article one of this chapter.

In the event that allotment shall be made as aforesaid and the person or persons entitled to the proceeds, for any reason, cannot agree upon the value of the subject, the court, or the judge thereof in vacation, shall appoint three disinterested and qualified persons to fix the value of the whole subject who, after being duly sworn to make an appraisal of the fair market value of the subject, shall within thirty days from the taking of such oath, appraise the subject and make and file a written report of their findings in the office of the clerk of the court in which the suit is pending. If such appraisers report their disagreement, or fail to file such report within thirty days, other appraisers may in like manner be appointed, and so again, from time to time, as often as may be necessary. The report of the appraisers when filed, shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the subject, unless an objection is filed thereto in said clerk's office within thirty days after the date of such report by the appraiser. If objection is made to such report, the court, or the judge thereof in vacation, shall take evidence upon the value of the subject in the same manner as in other chancery matters, shall find the fair market value of the subject and shall decree payment therefor according to the respective rights of those entitled thereto as their interest may appear, taking care to protect the rights of creditors as aforesaid in this section.

If any party to the suit refuses or is unable because of any disability, including but not limited to infancy, insanity and conviction of crime, to make, execute and deliver a deed or other instrument transferring title to the subject to the person or persons to whom the subject has been allotted, the court, or the judge thereof in vacation, shall appoint a special commissioner for the purposes of accepting the purchase money from the person or persons to whom the subject has been allotted, making, executing and delivering thereto a deed or other instrument therefor and distributing such purchase money according to the respective rights of those persons entitled thereto. The special commissioner so appointed shall give bond and be governed in all respects as provided in section one, article twelve, chapter fifty-five of this code.

WVC 37 - 4 - 4 §37-4-4. Determination of liens.
When there are liens by judgment or otherwise, on the interest of any party to a partition suit, the court may, on the petition of any person holding a lien, ascertain the liens and apply the dividend of such party in the proceeds of sale to the discharge of such liens so far as may be necessary for that purpose.

WVC 37 - 4 - 5 §37-4-5. Sale of land free of dower.
The provisions of section five, article one, chapter forty- three of this code shall be applicable to any sale made under the provisions of this article.

WVC 37 - 4 - 6 §37-4-6. Unknown owners.
If the name or share of any person interested in the subject of the partition be unknown, so much as is known in relation thereto shall be stated in the bill.

WVC 37 - 4 - 7 §37-4-7. Lessees.
Any person who, before the partition or sale, was lessee of any of the lands divided or sold, shall hold the same of him to whom such land is allotted or sold, on the same terms on which, by his lease, he held it before the partition.

WVC 37 - 4 - 8 §37-4-8. Record; effect.
The provisions of section seven, article four, chapter fifty- one of this code shall be applicable to any partition made under this article.
