Doe(s) v. Municipality
Case Sealed

Child Sexual Abuse
This case involved the sexual assaults of children by a volunteer/employee of a municipality. The municipality failed to notify to contact the Department of Child and Family Services (“DCFS”) pursuant to the Children Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act 325 ILCS 5/4 (2003) after allegations were initially made regarding their employee. Moreover, the municipality failed to have any policies and/or procedures in place with respect to the identification of child sexual predators or how to handle instances of alleged sexual abuse. In addition, the municipality did not have any training in place with respect to identifying and dealing with child sexual predators.

The assailant was a volunteer with an after-school program (the “program”). The volunteer was seen sitting children on his crotch, was known to be alone with children and was suspected to have made inappropriate comments to children. A father of one children in the program, even came to the facility where the program was held, met with the director of the program and complained that the volunteer made inappropriate comments to the child.

Despite such obvious warning signs and allegations, the municipality failed to notify DCFS in violation of the Children Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. When a full-time position became available at the facility where the program was held, volunteer was considered for the position. The volunteer provided the municipality with his resume and other documents required in the application process. Despite the fact that the volunteer listed references, the municipality failed to check even a single reference provided. If it had, the municipality would have discovered that even the volunteer’s references had concerns about the volunteer’s interaction with children. Nevertheless, the volunteer was hired in the full time position. It was primarily during his employment with the municipality that the volunteer turned employee molested the Plaintiffs – conduct for which he was later convicted.

Estate of Bradford v. Durable Medical Equipment Company
Case No. 09-L-15302

Products Liability
Mr. Bradford age 66, and the father of 6 adult children, was admitted to the hospital with past cardiac disease and decreased respiratory function. His cardiac disease made him more susceptible to cardiac arrest. Mr. Bradford underwent heart valve replacement surgery while at the hospital. Mr. Bradford remained at the hospital approximately 9 days after his surgery. During that time, he was on “wall oxygen” which is a form of oxygen that is delivered by “continuous flow” supplied via nasal cannula from the wall near the patient’s bed.

Mr. Bradford was expected to do well after surgery, but was still in need of oxygen upon discharge. After being given an “Easy Pulse 5” portable oxygen tank, he was discharged home. Unlike a continuous flow oxygen tank Mr. Bradford had been using, Mr. Bradford was instead given an oxygen tank that had what is known as a “conserver device” on it. Unlike a “continuous flow” device, oxygen on a conserver device delivers oxygen by “intermittent flow,” or discharges oxygen only when the patient inhales. This type of oxygen can drastically effect oxygen saturation levels in a manner that is different and lesser than, continuous flow oxygen delivery systems.

Defendant’s representative delivered the tank with a conserver device on it to Mr. Bradford. During delivery Walker met with Mr. Bradford for about 5 to 10 minutes. During that time, Defendant showed Mr. Bradford how to turn the device on and off, how to put it on the appropriate setting, and how to put the cannula around his nose. No other information was conveyed to Mr. Bradford by Walker about the oxygen system he was providing Bradford at any time by anyone before Mr. Bradford’s discharge from Ingalls.

Approximately 1:45 minutes after discharge and while at his home, Mr. Bradford began showing signs of respiratory distress, and died. When the EMT’s arrived a few minutes later, the Easy Pulse 5 was empty. According to the physician who performed Mr. Bradford’s autopsy, Mr. Bradford died of ventricular arrhythmia brought on by the lack of oxygen.

Childhood Sexual Assault
Equal Protection
Illinois Domestic Violence Act
Plaintiffs sexual assault victims who reported the crime to the Municipal Police Department. From 1997 through 2012, the municipality failed to properly train and implement police procedures with respect to investigations of sexual assaults. As a result, sexual assault victims’ cases were being ignored. In 2007, the Police Department was raided, wherein 200 uninvestigated rape kits were found. The Municipality systematically failed to collect DNA from suspects, send rape kits to the lab for testing, and otherwise failed to properly investigate female sexual assault victims’ cases. As a result, suspects – pedophiles and rapist – were allowed to go free.

In the case of one plaintiff, the Municipality’s actions were especially egregious. The suspect was her stepfather. She was 11 years old when the sexual assault was reported.

Because of Defendants failure to secure a protective order, collect his DNA, arrest him, and submit the case for felony review, Doe was subject to repeated sexual assaults from the age of 12 through 18.

The case was settled just prior to trial.

Title : A Time to Sow
Writers : Dayton Ward, Kevin Dilmore
Year : 2004
Rating : 4.3333 for 3 reviewsAdd your own review
Reviewer : paul Rating : 4
Review : as a series of books there were certaintly some good moments, but I felt that it dragged on to long and some of the books were a tad repetertive. some of the books were a little wussy and had what i like to called "hippy c**p"
Reviewer : EntilZha Rating : 5
Review : After the unmitigated dross of A Time to be Born and A Time to Die, I was very hesitant to read A Time to Sow. But I'm relieved that I did. A Time To Sow is a clever, emotional filled book that never fails to bore me. The writers really make the Dookalan stand out and you can feel the remoteness of the colony and the desperation of the Dokaalan in trying to survive against all the odds. On top of that, whereas John Vorholt character assasinates everyone and introduces bland new characters (if you don't believe me, read A Time To Die), Dayton Ward and Kevin Dilmore know the characters. Picard IS Patrick Stwart's Picard, Riker is Johnathon Frake's Riker etc. The story is fast moving and characters who were largely redundant in Born/Die are really pushed to the forfront here and the writers clearly know thier Trek!
Reviewer : TS Rating : 4
Review : This novel was a very good read. Even thought the action doesn't start until 2/3 into the book, you don't feel it crawling along. It was also nice to have some of the characters' reasons explained for leaving the Enterprise in Nemesis. The authors set it up nicely and actually gave Beverly a reason to leave for Starfleet Medical, and so on. My only complaint with the book is the frequently used phrase "a decade ago" or "more than a decade ago." Seriously, go through the book and count how many times that phrase is used. It got annoying after the third time. I don't mind references to previous stories or TV episodes, but I wish they had utilized another phrase. How about, "nearly ten years ago" or "several years ago on the Enterprise-D." Anyway, that's my only complaint of an otherwise enjoyable read.

Heart of Stone

Series : Deep Space Nine Rating : 4
Disc No : 3.4 Episode : 59
First Aired : 6 Feb 1995 Stardate : 48521.5
Director : Alexander Singer Year : 2371
Writers : Ira Steven Behr, Robert Hewitt Wolfe Season : 3
Guest Cast :
Aron Eisenberg as Nog Max Grodenchik as Rom
Moral :
Loyalties : You really find out where your loyalties lie when the one you love is in trouble.
YATI : So, both Kira and the "crystal" engulfing her are actually the Founder. Which means that when she shot the crystal with her phaser, she was shooting herself. Yet in "Crossover", we see that a single shot from a Bajoran phaser is enough to blow Odo into little itty bitty bits. And later on we will learn that even a low level phaser shot is painful enough that it makes a Founder lose whatever shape they are in. So how can the Founder shoot herself?
Great Moment : Odo working out that it's not Kira because she told him she loved him - which Kira doesn't. The easiest lie to sell is the one the person wants to believe. Given his feelings for Kira, Odo must have wanted to believe this one very much indeed. Yet he's self aware enough that he doesn't. It's a great moment for his character.
Body Count : Zero
Factoid : Actors, producers, and director were all displeased with the look of the 'rock', commenting that no matter what they did it looked unrealistic. Nana Visitor even compared it to being stuck in 'a big old hot fudge sundae, and my head was the cherry on top!' In her case, matters were not helped by the fact that she suffers from claustrophobia.

O'Brien's enjoyment of kayaking is stated as something he has been doing since he served on the Enterprise-D. This is a reference to TNG's "Transfigurations", in which O'Brien's fondness for kayaking is established (along with his tendency to get injured doing it on the holodeck).

This episode reveals the origin of Odo's name - when first discovered by Doctor Mora his sample container was labelled as "Unknown Sample". This was translated into Cardassian as Odo'ital, which literally means "nothing". The scientists then broke that word into two, calling him Odo Ital in the style of a Bajoran name. This was then shortened to Odo.

The plot of this episode was loosely based on the 1964 novel "Sometimes a Great Notion". In the book, a man's leg is trapped underneath a log as the surrounding water level slowly rises.

Salome Jens, who plays the Female Shapeshifter, agreed not to be credited at the beginning of the episode, so as not to spoil the twist at the end.

Aron Eisenberg considers the scene where he confesses his true reasons for wanting to join Starfleet to Commander Sisko to be the best piece of acting he ever did on Deep Space Nine. He enthuses about the chance to do such an emotional scene with Avery Brooks, whom he regards very highly.

Whilst we knew that non-Federation citizens could join Starfleet before, this episode establishes that to do so, a potential Cadet must have a letter of recommendation from a command-grade serving officer.

When Odo threatens the Female Shapeshifter with Kira's phaser, it marks the first time in the series that he ever picks up a weapon.

When Kira and Odo chase a Maquis operative to a desolate planet, they quickly lose him in a network of caves. When Kiras foot becomes trapped in a crystal of some sort, they assume that it will be simple to free her - but all their efforts fail, and the crystal gradually engulfs Kira. Is this the end for the love of Odo's life?

There are some tools designed to extract knowledge from databases that contain large amounts of information. For more information see Wells Fargo Bank. The most popular of these tools are SPSS Clementine, Oracle Data Miner and Weka. This last tool is the most popular and affordable since it is developed in Java and licensed under GPL. Weka specifically allows you to load data to analyze from a database, a .csv file or files .arff (the Weka own format). Suppose that we have a data set in rows that are grouped together forming groups to clusters.

Once loaded in Weka data, we can use cheap nfl jerseys the tool to identify the most relevant data that allow to classify the data in these groups. For more information see this site: Phoenix Ancient Art. Moreover, we can use that data to create decision trees or classification rules that help Wholesale nfl Jerseys us understand by which each row data It falls in a particular group. We can also use this tool for data mining to classify our data into groups (clusters) using as e.g. k-means clustering algorithms. Cheap nba Jerseys Ultimately, this type of tools to delight fans of statistics eager to Австрия squeeze the data for more information.

But the bad times came with the passage of the years: its main Fortress, proximity to citizens, went on to become ray ban outlet its biggest weakness. Why? Because the neighborhood leaders were seduced by the siren songs, false praise, compromising aid and alliances and the conspiracies with politicians interested in taking advantage of the charism and the ancestry of the communal among its neighbors.

After a time the communal leadership has recovered. Communities have decided to give a new chance to their leaders and hopes that respond you with much work ytotal transparency.

Making History: Married, Gay Binational Couple Goes to Their Green Card Interview in San Francisco

Jon Carr and Sergio Suhett after their green card interview Tuesday at
the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services building in downtown San Francisco

Jon Anthony Carr and Sergio Suhett met in 1995 when Jon spotted Sergio across a crowded reservations center at United Airlines and offered him assistance; they’ve been learning from one another ever since. They were first married in 2004 when then-Mayor Gavin Newsom directed his clerks to perform marriages for lesbian and gay couples. After those marriages were voided, the couple re-married in 2008 during the brief window of legal marriage in California that lasted until Proposition 8 was passed amending that state’s constitution to once again bar lesbian and gay couples from marriage.

Sergio, who was born in Brazil, is in the United States in a non-permanent lawful status that does not provide a path to a green card or citizenship. This status allows him to live and work in the US legally indefinitely but if he ever leaves the country — even for a week-long vacation — he can never return. As the years went by and they began to look ahead to their future, they realized they needed greater security for Sergio. And they wanted to be able to see the world together. For that they would have to get Sergio a green card on the basis of their marriage which is impossible, of course, because the federal government is still barred by DOMA from recognizing their legal marriage. The basic unfairness of this and their awareness of the plight of many LGBT binational couples led them to join the fight for same-sex immigration rights. In fact, they were the first couple to participate in The DOMA Project’s Stop the Deportations campaign.

After consulting with their attorney, Lavi Soloway, Jon filed an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative for Sergio in July 2010. All they wanted was for Sergio to be given the same recognition as any other foreign-born spouse of an American citizen. Even though they knew that DOMA made this impossible for the present, with Suhett temporarily allowed to stay in the US, they decided to become part of an effort to challenge DOMA.

A few weeks ago, to their surprise and delight, they received a notice that they had been scheduled for an interview. “We were excited when Lavi called to tell us that we would be going to a green card interview just like any other married couple. The prospect of having an Immigration Officer sitting down with us, asking questions about our relationship and our marriage… it feels like a door is beginning to open.”

In the weeks leading up to the interview, Jon and Sergio put together a large photo album illustrating their 15 years together as a couple. They collected proof that they owned their car together, that both their names were on their apartment’s lease, and that they used money from their joint bank accounts to buy everyday domestic necessities. Lastly, they asked friends and family to write letters attesting to the truth of their relationship as a loving couple. They crossed every T and dotted every I. They didn’t want to give the government any reason to deny them on a technicality or for lack of evidence of their relationship. They wanted to demonstrate to the government that their case was approvable on the evidence. If there was to be a denial, Jon and Sergio wanted it to be clear that DOMA was solely to blame.

Finally, the day of the interview arrived: Tuesday June 14. Joined by their attorney, the couple made their way with some anticipation to the Citizenship and Immigration Service building in downtown San Francisco. Though they were confident that Sergio was safe, they couldn’t help but be a little anxious as they entered uncharted territory. To our knowledge, Jon and Sergio were attending the first ever green card marriage interview for a same-sex couple since the Obama administration announced it would no longer defend DOMA because it believed that law was unconstitutional.

Yesterday, the day of the interview, an op-ed that the couple wrote telling their story appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle (‘No Green Card for My Spouse’). They hesitated before writing the piece for, suddenly, thousands of strangers would know all about them. But they understood that even in San Francisco there were people who had no idea of how few protections gay and lesbian Americans have for their legal spouses.

Jon and Sergio attended their interview at a time when public opinion has moved decisively and consistently against DOMA and toward marriage equality. Not only has the Obama administration’s changed stance indicated that DOMA is indefensible, but Congress has taken up its repeal in both the House and Senate, and federal courts (including a stunning Bankruptcy Court decision in California this week) have rejected DOMA as unconstitutional. This is the context in which Jon and Sergio sat down for their interview and perhaps for that reason it should not be surprising that they received a warm and cordial reception.

The Immigration Officer who conducted the interview noted at the outset that some of her colleagues had seen their op-ed and that the office was eagerly anticipating their arrival. She went on to ask them several of the questions they had expected: Where and when had they met? Had they ever purchased property together? When had they married? She was surprised and, it seemed, dismayed to hear that they’d actually had to marry a second time after their first marriage was invalidated along with thousands of others by the state. She asked where they’d gone on vacations and the guys happily supplied the details of a fifth anniversary at Walt Disney World, a tenth in Hawaii, and so on. Without thinking, Sergio grasped Jon’s hand and then found himself feeling self-conscious about it, wondering, after years of having strangers question the validity of his marriage, if the Officer might react negatively; her accepting smile suggested that she recognized real affection when she saw it. As expected, she indicated to Jon and Sergio that current law prevented her from approving their petition. But, she added personally, she wished she could approve it and was sorry she could not. Again the officer’s expression reflected that she knew how much it meant to both Jon and Sergio to have someone in her position recognize their humanity and their love for each other.

As they parted, Jon and Sergio thanked the officer and noted that they would keep up the fight against DOMA so that the petition could be approved one day soon. In the meantime, they will await a final decision on their petition which will come at a future date by mail after further review.

    On the surface, this is wonderful news, but could someone explain why Immigration granted this couple a green card interview only to inform them they cannot approve their petition due to DOMA? After all, wasn't the end result was a fait accompli given nothing has changed in terms law or policy?

      Agree with you, it’s like giving a false hope, I’d be so upset if that was me. But they are still lucky, Sergio can live here legally , there are many couples out there , including me and my partner with worse situation than them.
      I’ve been here for almost 7 years, and my hope is fading, i dont know if I can stay here longer. in Indonesia I can make more money, here in USA I keep spending money. But I love my partner, hope that I can live here, i dont need to be citizen, I just need green card so I can go back and fort Indonesia-USA.

    Granting an interview is an important advance and it is something we will advocate for at all USCIS DIstrict Offices: it allows for complete adjudication of I-130 petitions so that they are approvable when DOMA is struck down or repealed. Also, it makes certain that only DOMA stands in the way of approval. Without an interview there is no way to establish the bona fides of the underlying marital relationship. This is vitally important, a significant advance and something we must push for. Not being able to approve these cases today is not the same thing as not being able to approve them one day in the future. But they cannot be approved without interviews. We are fighting for the institution of a nationwide abeyance policy so that final decisions on all green card petitions filed by same-sex couples are put on hold until DOMA's fate is resolved (such petitions should only be filed with proper legal representation). We are fighting for end to deportations for married binational couples. We are using every tactical option available to us to achieve full equality, and that means winning in the court of public opinion as well as in the courts and legislature. The history-making interview that took place this week in San Francisco is not a symbolic win, it is the very essence of how we will change public policy.

    I wish i had the 'tanates' to participate in this movement, but my undocumented status and things that I have seen in the past make weary of doing anything to participate. I take this news as good news because whatever that counts as a step – or even half step forward is good. Thank you all and everyone that actively participate in this movement.
    I'm engaged to my boyfriend and we have been four years together. During this time, he has had to adapt to my circumstances; for example, when we go on a trip, he has to drive thousands of miles because I cannot drive without a licence or i just can get on a plane anymore. It isn't easy.That's why I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you all are doing.

    You go Jon and Sergio. What you are doing is wonderful and very needed. For all of us. I wish both of you continued success in your relationship and your efforts to change Marriage Equality. And, this coming from an old friend of Jon's – Scott.

1) Ezekiel Ansah, BYU

Ansah is a physical monster that is better at football with every day. He has a high bust potential, but he also has the potential to be the next JPP.

2) Bjoern Werner, FSU

Werner is a much safer pick than Ansah, but that doesn't mean he is the better one.

3) Margus Hunt, SMU

Hunt is another high potential guy that is coming on strong right now. He might be a shocking top-15 pick when it is all said and done.

1) Star Lotulelei, Utah

Lotulelei will more than likely end up as a nosetackle in the 3-4, but he is light enough that a team might sneak him outside to be a mauler.

2) Sharrif Floyd, Florida

I really like him as a run stuffing end in the 3-4 much more than as a penetrating 4-3 defensive tackle.

3) Sheldon Richardson/ Sylvester Williams

I don't tie on prospect often, but both will be ok starting 3-4 ends.

Here is one of my first overall build up projects, Every nut and bolt came out of this car over a 5yr period. I figured that since I was building a weird car (at that time in 1994 no one was in to station wagons except me I think) That I should have a wild and weird engine compartment, What you see is a factory Chrysler intake with a few modern tweaks and upgrades , such as billet throttle linkage, carbon fiber air cleaner tops, Indy car suspension mount for an engine torque rod. It was a great and fun car that won many awards and was featured in several national magazines, it was even on the cover of Mopar Collectors Guide! looking back now it seems funny, I sold a 1972 340 Challenger Rallye car to build the wagon , That E body is now worth a whole bunch more money than when I sold it. Even so, if I had it all to do over again I wouldn't have changed a thing, I had so much fun with the big wagon that it wouldnt have compared with just a "plain" O'l E body

Crazy Vampires Scares Up Google Play

Post Thumb:

The action-puzzler Crazy Vampires has made a bloody trail all the way to Google Play. Gamers can now get the horror title for their Android devices for the low price of $1.99 for the full version. Read on to learn how to get into the vampire action today!

From the Press Release
Android version of a burtonesque offbeat reflexed-based puzzler featuring lemming-like vampires has finally fanged its way to Google Play.

Jan Kavan, director at CBE software, commented upon this release: “We are extremely happy to bring Crazy Vampires to all desired platforms. While in the future we might port the game to Linux or Ouya, we are now focusing on a brand new IP. Crazy Vampires were an extremely important milestone for CBE software because we’ve built the game using a new engine. Right now we feel pretty confident that we can build new titles using Unity engine.”

Crazy Vampires is an offbeat action puzzle game, filled with vampires, traps, crazy Transylvanian music and fun. It’s almost dawn and vampires are returning into their coffins for a well-deserved sleep after a long night. Time is ticking until the dawn and they’ve discovered that a bunch of vampire slayers got there first and set up traps! Now it’s up to you to use your supernatural powers of tile rotation, garlic-based repellent and spider net slow-down, to help them overcome all obstacles and reach their regular daily rest.

The main objective is to save vampires by leading them safely through the labyrinth and into their crypts. To do so, players can rotate the labyrinth parts to create new paths or use garlic-based repellent and spider-net slowdown to prevent vampires from walking into peril. Many traps are indeed lurking for the poor vampires. Starting with simple ones like pure light, things get more complicated down the road. Mobile wooden stakes, silver gun bullets, hired assassins or crazy garlic sappers wait impatiently to vaporize poor vampires once for all.

  • 65 levels
  • 3 different types of level completion makes the game quite replayable as each solution to the level is often very different
  • Over 12 hours of gameplay on basic level
  • Over 20 hours to reach golden awards
  • 32 achievements
  • 6 different types of vampires, each with their own behavior
  • Various traps including light, light reflecting mirrors, mobile wooden stakes, garlic sappers, assassins, silver bullet guns etc.
