February 29, 1960 -- Plans for Marina City Are Announced
February 29, 1960 -- Plans are announced for the 36 million dollar Marina City project on the Chicago River. At 60 stories and 555 feet the two towers are projected to be the tallest housing structures in the world and the fourth tallest buildings in the city. There will be parking for 900 cars with 256 efficiency apartments, 576 one-bedroom units and 64 two-bedroom units with rents projected to start at $115. Besides the apartment towers there are to be a 10-story office building, a one-acre plaza and a theater which will seat 1,200. There is to be no mortgage on the project. Financing will take place under Title 7 of the National Housing Act, under which the government guarantees the debt assumed by the developer.

February 28, 1939 -- Wrigley Orders Dizzy Dean Shut Down
February 28, 1939 -- The Chicago Daily Tribune reports that owner P. K. Wrigley has taken matters into his own hands "in moving the spring flair of Diz (Dizzy Dean) as problem child." When Wrigley's personal representative came upon the Cub pitcher "pitching full blast at the full pitching distance [he] broke up the display in the name of the Cub owner, following full instructions from the Chicago throne room." Dean, a pitching phenom for the St. Louis Cardinals between 1933 and 1937, was injured by a line drive in the 1937 All-Star game. In 1938 Wrigley paid $185,000 to put the compromised pitcher on the Cubs roster. In September of that year, in what he called the greatest game of his career, Dean pitched the second game of a series with the Pittsburgh Pirates, winning 2-1, pulling the Cubs within a half-game of the league leading Pirates, a team from which the Cubs would wrest the National League championship the next day. Dean pitched Game Two of the World Series, pitching admirably until he gave up a two-run homer to Joe DiMaggio in the top of the ninth, ultimately losing 6-3. He struggled along with the Cubs until 1941 when he retired. Wrigley's interest in protecting his investment was certainly understandable, but ultimately it would not matter.

February 27, 1919 -- Final Purchase of Land for Bridge at Michigan Avenue
February 27, 1919 -- The final three pieces of real estate necessary for the construction of the Michigan Avenue bridge are secured. The city pays $719,532 to the estate of W. F. McLaughlin for a piece of property on the east side of Michigan Avenue fronting the south side of the river. $62,500 goes to John S. Miller for a triangular piece of land across Michigan Avenue from the McLaughlin property. $91,760 goes to Levy Mayer for a small piece of property directly south of the McLaughlin holding. With these three transactions the city is ready to build the bridge that would change the north side of the city forever. The photo above shows the three pieces of property on each side of Michigan Avenue south of the river.

February 26, 1903 -- Studebaker Brothers Seal the Deal
February 26, 1903 -- With the payment of $100,000 the Studebaker brothers become absolute owners of the Fine Arts Building and the ground beneath it. The ground on which the building stood had been held in a 99-year lease that began in May of 1885 with an annual ground rent of $2,000. The building, designed by Solon Spencer Beman, opened in 1886 with a four-story annex added for use by the Art Institute in 1898. On July 7, 1978 the building was declared a Chicago City Landmark. The photo below shows the building as it looked in 1900.

February 25, 1873 -- Steamed Up about the Boilers
February 25, 1873 -- The Chicago Daily Tribune reports on the annual report of the City Steam-Boiler Inspector for 1872, and the news is not encouraging. 765 boilers were inspected with nearly a third found defective. The paper reports, "In view of the rapid increase of the manufacturing and commercial interests of th city, requiring the use of steam as a motor in the factories, its use as a heater and ventilation in the schools, churches, hotels, and other public buildings, the consequent increase in the number of steam-boilers -- the majority of them distributed among the most populous districts int he city, beneath pavements, etc., -- he [the inspector] urged the necessity for further legislation to secure the object for which the ordinance was passed, -- the security of lives and property from dangers attendant upon the ignorant or careless management of steam."

February 24, 1920 -- Approval of Bond Issue Heralds Big Changes
February 24, 1920 -- With three out of every four voters favoring six South Park bond issue propositions on the ballot, Charles H. Wacker, chairman of the city's plan commission, says, "The victory of the South Park Commissions' bond proposals is the biggest, finest, and most far-reaching undertaking for the public good Chicago has launched in its entire history." The financing would allow for grading and completion of Grant Park at a cost of $3,700,000. Also forthcoming would be creation of the two levels of what is now Wacker Drive running east and west along the river, the building of the southern portion of Lake Shore Drive, the widening and improvement of Ashland Avenue, and at least a half-dozen other plans that within the space of a half-dozen years would change the city. The photo above shows the south section of Lake Shore Drive from about Thirty-Ninth Street just after it opened in the spring of 1930.

February 23, 1955 -- Carson, Pirie & Scott Outbid on State Street Property
February 23, 1955 -- A bid that tops Carson Pierie Scott & Co.'s offer for the 12-story building at the corner of State and Madison Streets is submitted in federal district court. The bid tops Carson's offer of $7,250,000 by over $350,000. The courts become involved because the building's owner, the Otto Young estate, had previously specified that the property could not be sold until ten years after the death of the youngest daughter in the family, who, at 77, is still very much alive. However, three weeks earlier a judge ruled that the courts had the right to authorize the sale. The building in question, now a Target store, is perhaps the one building in Chicago that best represents the genius of architect Louis Sullivan.

February 22, 1914 -- New Citizens Celebrate at the Auditorium
Dr. Emil Hirsch
Mrs. Mary McDowell
February 22, 1914 -- Despite a blinding snowstorm, 2,200 out of the 4,700 citizens who have been naturalized since July 1, 1913 gather together at the Auditorium Building at the New Citizens' Allegiance Celebration. Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, who was born in Luxembourg, the rabbi of the Chicago Sinai Congregation gave the address. He tells the audience, "Let us be on our guard against tampering with our Americanism by hitching it to a hyphen . . . Let us see to it that our conduct disarms this anti-alien prejudice and show that American civilization has been enriched by reason of our being here." Mrs. Mary McDowell, head of the University of Chicago settlement, the "Angel of the Stockyards," spoke especially to the women of the audience, saying, "We must learn things from you. You must give us your sentiment and ideals, for they belong to us now, and we need them. If you like this city, you can help us make it fit to live in." Dr. Hirsch and Mrs. McDowell are pictured above.

February 21, 1912 -- Snowstorm Brings City to a Halt
February 21, 1912 -- The worst February storm in 18 years brings business in Chicago to a standstill. Service on the Illinois Central suburban line is shut down at 1:30 p.m. after a northbound train crashes into the rear of a milk train, leaving stations crowded with passengers. The downtown hotels do a brisk business, taking in workers who are unable to find a train home. For the first time in the city's history the street cleaning bureau gives up the fight in the face of 52-m.p.h. winds that left workers lost in white-out conditions and horses wandering around in Grant Park. Policemen at crossings in the Loop are kept busy picking up people who have fallen or been blown into drifts. Members of a funeral party for 12-year-old Rose Myrtle Drautzburg, with her schoolmates acting as pallbearers, start for the Grand Trunk station at Forty-Seventh Street at 9:30 in the morning and wait for a train until 4:30 p.n. when they are informed that the train is cancelled. The estimate is that over 30,000 men are temporarily thrown out of work because of the weather.
February 20, 1947 -- Chicago Gets the "Go" for a Lakefront Airport
February 20, 1947 -- The Illinois Department of Aeronautics approves Chicago's plan for the construction of the Northerly Island downtown air terminal. There are a couple of caveats -- no instruction flights would be permitted and the airport must be closed under unfavorable wind conditions. Additionally, a power boat must be kept available at all times for emergency use and pleasure boats would need to be prevented from becoming obstructions in landing approach zones. The island, originally created for the 1933 and 1934 Century of Progress World's Fair, is gone now and is in the process of being converted to a multi-use recreational area. The new incarnation of the park began at about 1:30 in the morning on March 31, 2003 when Mayor Daley ordered the bulldozing of the runway at Meigs with no advance warning, not even to the FAA.

February 19, 2009 -- The Birth of the Tea Party
February 19, 2009 -- Full-out rant at the Board of Trade as CNBC commentator Rick Santelli rails against President Obama's mortgage bailout plan. "The government is promoting bad behavior," Santelli storms. "This is America! How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills?" Sanely follows up by suggesting that a modern Chicago tea party might consider dumping derivative securities into Lake Michigan. It was on this Thursday morning that a whole new era in American politics is born. Here's the segment, just for old time's sake . .
February 18, 1945 -- Chicago Title and Trust Buys the Block
February 18, 1945 -- It is announced that the Chicago Title and Trust company has finally, after a 54-year buying program, gained control of the largest single piece of privately owned property in the Loop since 1897. The firm originally intended to locate its offices in a new building on the site at the corner of Washington Street and Dearborn, but opted instead to purchase the Conway Building ablock west and sell the large corner block next to the First United Methodist Church of Chicago for a development deemed "proper for such a big and strategic location." Ultimately, the Brunswick Corporation purchased the property, and in 1965 the SOM-designed headquarters for Brunswick was completed, at the time the tallest reinforced concrete structure in the world. The photo above shows the Brunswick Building (now offices for Cook County) under construction across the street from the Daley Center, completed in the same year. The spire of the First United Methodist Church of Chicago separates government from the private sector.

February 17, 1885 -- John Root Lectures on Architecture
February 17, 1885 -- Item from The Chicago Daily Tribune: "Mr. John Root, of the firm of Burnham and Root, delivered the third lecture of a course before the Art Institute last evening. His thoughts on architecture were expressed in rather technical language. He explained the necessity of simplicity, repose, and proportion in buildings; also how poorly-constructed chimneys accumulated soot. He illustrated his remarks with diagrams and pictures. About 150 people were present." What must it have been like to have been one of those 150 fortunate souls? Root's remarks would have been made at the second home of the Art Institute, pictured above, on the southwest corner of Van Buren and Michigan Avenue, a building designed by Burnham & Root and which is now occupied by the Chicago Club.

February 16, 1954 -- Innovation in Public Transportation
February 16, 1954 -- Ralph Budd, chairman of the Chicago Transit Authority, proposes a plan for extending the city's rapid transit system. The greatest share of the plan involves adding to the city's rapid transit system by constructing rights of way for rail operation as part of the network of proposed super-highways. Mayor Kennelly called the proposal "remarkable." Arthur T. Leonard, president of the Chicago Association of Commerce, called the plan "both challenging and constructive." Observe the Red Line as you drive on the Dan Ryan or the Green Line along the Kennedy or the Blue Line running parallel to the Eisenhower, and you will see Budd's proposal at work today, the first time, at least in this country, when rapid transit was planned as an integral part of the highway system.

February 15, 1933 -- Chicago's Main Post Office Has Official Dedication
February 15, 1933 -- Postmaster General Walter F. Brown dedicates the world's largest post office in a ceremony that includes speeches, singing and music by the post office band in the lobby of the building's Van Buren Street entrance. In his remarks Brown said, "A few less than 7,000 workers normally will spend about one-third of their adult lives in this building. Here will be sorted and dispatched 6,500,000 letters and circulars, 300,000 packages and 80,000 sacks of newspaper and parcel post, which originate in Chicago each week, destined for every part of the globe."
February 14, 1903 -- Daniel Burnham Shares Vision for Chicago
February 14, 1903 -- Architect Daniel Burnham describes his vision of a Chicago that includes parks and lagoons, gardens, forests, and broad carriage ways to the Merchants' Club. Burnham urged those present to ensure that the lake be made a beauty spot that would, according to The Chicago Daily Tribune, "keep at home the millions that are spent by Chicagoans at Venice, Paris, and other beauty spots of the old world." The president of the Merchants' Club, Alexander Agnew McCormick, added, "The Merchants' club is not committed and will not be committed to any fixed plan for converting the lake front into a park, but it does insist that the submerged lands along the lake shore shall be dedicated for a public park, to be used exclusively for a park. No buildings are contemplated in the general plan."
February 13, 1926 -- Hood and Howells Receive Award
February 13, 1926 -- Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells are awarded the gold medal for their design of the most beautiful building erected in the north central section of the country in 1925. Architect Elmer C. Jensen, a member of the jury charged with determining the recipient of the gold medal award, said of Hood and Howell's design for Tribune Tower, "The erection of this beautiful structure has been a decided aid to the cause of good architecture. Not only will it have a good effect on architecture in Chicago, but the cause throughout the whole nation gains appreciably. I wish again to emphasize the incalcuable gain which art has made through the Tribune Tower."
February 12, 1949 -- North Central Association Condemns Water Filtration Plan
February 12, 1949 -- A spokesman for the North Central association charges that construction of a huge water filtration plant on 55 acres north of Navy pier would cause property values on the near north side to plummet. Frederick M. Bowes, vice president of the association, said that if the city attempts to build the plant it would be in violation of a contract signed by the former Lincoln Park board when riparian rights were obtained for the construction of what is now the inner drive, and he promised that the association would fight in the courts to have the project stopped. Harry L. Wells, the business manager for Northwestern University, which controlled a significant chunk of land in the area (and still does), said, "We'd like to see a fine territory developed around the university. When you start putting a filtration plant there it isn't going go be that kind of territory." The purification plant was, tied up in court for years, but it finally opened in 1968 as the James W. Jardine Water Purification Plant in the exact spot for which it was originally proposed.

February 11, 2010 -- 3.8 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes the Midwest
February 11, 2010 -- A 3.8-magnitude earthquake centered in a farm field near Hampshire shakes a wide area from Wisconsin to Tennessee. At first reported to be a 4.3-magnitude quake, the estimate was revised downward after data was more closely analyzed. Whatever it was, it shook a lot of people in the area awake when it occurred at 3:59 in the morning.
February 10, 1916 -- Hundred Guests Poisoned at University Club Banquet
February 10, 1916 -- More than 100 guests at a banquet in honor of Archbishop George William Mundelein, pictured above, are poisoned at the University Club after a cook, Jean Crones, puts arsenic in the soup. Mandelein, who had just arrived in Chicago to take over the city's archdiocese, had skipped the soup and was fine. No one died, but a third of Chicago's elite were mightily incommoded. There was little interest in the evening's entrées after the soup had its affect, and orders were quickly sent to hurry the ice cream and coffee and skip the cheese. In his address to the group, the Cardinal said, "I have one thing in view, one thing to perform. That is that when my days are ended and my work is done, the people of Chicago, irrespective of creed, will be grateful that I have come among them and that they will believe I have been a good influence not only to my church but to the whole city." Crones, the cook, turned out to be an Italian anarchist by the name of Nestor Dondoglio. He disappeared and was never caught.
February 9, 1954 -- Survey Ordered for New Convention Center
February 9, 1954 -- The Chicago Park Fair corporation names the architectural firms of Holabird and Root and Burgee and Ralph H. Burke to make a world-wide survey of convention and exhibit halls with an eye toward building a state-of-the-art convention hall. The non-profit corporation was funded with Cook County's share of the one percent tax on race track betting. Ground would be broken on the hall, McCormick Place, in 1958 with its completion coming two years later. It lasted seven years until a spectacular fire on a frigid night in 1967 destroyed the structure.
February 8, 1900 -- River Sewage Threatens Chicago's Drinking Water
February 8, 1900 -- For the first time since the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal was opened in January the Chicago River reversed its westerly flow and headed into the lake. By evening a severe storm out of the southwest had flushed the sewers and washed the streets, sending the sewage in the water more than a mile into the lake, threatening the cribs that supplied drinking water to the city. The Chicago Daily Tribune reported, "The stream, which has been almost as blue as the lake, turned back to its old dingy black. The stopping of the current was bad enough with this burden of sewage thrust upon the channel, but the trouble was increased further by the wind, which blew a gale from the southwest and lowered the water in the main river over a foot. This caused a slight flow lake ward, and when the black water reached the piers the wind wafted it toward the cribs." It was another day in Chicago when it was safer to drink the whiskey than to trust the water.

February 7, 1943 -- Hinky Dink Misses His First Pre-Election Meeting in 46 Years
February 7, 1943 -- The sky falls when Michael "Hinky Dink" Kenna misses his first Sunday afternoon pre-election meeting of the First Ward Democratic club in 46 years. The 5' 1" Kenna, who, along with "Bathhouse" John Coughlin, ran the most notoriously wicked, graft-driven ward in the city, controlled "The Levee" for another three years until his death at 89 in October of 1946. John Budinger, who had been chosen to replace Kenna on the City Council said of the "empty chair" at the meeting, "When our leader called me in and told me I had the privilege of being his candidate for alderman, it was the grandest thrill that ever happened to me." Chief Bailiff Albert J. Horan assured Budinger that he would have no trouble winning the seat, one way or another. He said, "We are not afraid of cries of investigation, for we are as open as babes in their mother's arms."
February 6, 1911 -- Legislative commission Identifies Land Grab
February 6, 1911 -- The Chipperfield legislative commission on submerged lands reports that land estimated to be worth at least $250,000,000 has been "grabbed" from the public by private interests. The report identified 420 individuals, corporations, and private clubs that occupied "made" land -- land that was created by fill or natural causes -- along the coastline of the city and the banks of the Chicago River. The Illinois Central railroad was charged with illegally occupying 400 acres while the Chicago Dock and Canal company was accused of holding 60 acres of poached land. The report was especially harsh on the I. C., asserting "It is a history which reads like a romance, as to how the Illinois Central, starting in with a strip of 200 feet in width from the city limits northward, has continued to grasp and extend until now substantially 400 acres of the most valuable lands in the city of Chicago are in its possession." Pictured below, today's Ogden Slip, loaded with upscale high rises, was one such piece of created land. Abraham Lincoln was paid $350.00 to draft the paperwork that created the Chicago Dock and Canal Company, which built it. The top picture was taken in 1985. The photo below that sows how the area continues to evolve. When Fort Dearborn was erected on the edge of the lake back in 1803 this entire area was under water.
February 5, 1998 -- Canadian National Announces Intent to Purchase I. C.
February 5, 1998 -- The Canadian National Railroad Co. announces that it is in negotiations to acquire the Illinois Central Railroad, the "Main Line of Mid-America," a railroad that began in 1849 when Senator Stephen Douglas secured a federal land grant for the start-up, the first such grant ever awarded to a railroad. Douglas was also instrumental in a deal that allowed the I. C. to purchase a 200-foot right of way through the South Side for $21, 310. Later, the line built a trestle in the lake opposite the center of the city that carried trains to a freight yard on the river. The fill that was over the years placed between that trestle and the edge of the city is now Grant Park. Mark Twain worked as a steamboat pilot on an Illinois Central boat that connected the railroad to the south. A young engineer named John Luther "Casey" Jones began his career operating trains that carried passengers form the Loop to the 1893 fair in Hyde Park. With Canadian National's announcement a love-hate relationship between Chicago and the Illinois Central that had lasted for close to 150 years was nearly at an end.

February 4, 1862 -- The Bar Tender and the Widow
February 4, 1862 -- A man named Frederick Kuntz is arrested for shooting his wife. The Chicago Daily Tribune's coverage of the unfortunate event makes me wish that newspapers could return to this style. The article reads, "Kuntz was formerly a bar-tender in the employ of one William Veitz, who kept a saloon on Wells street, between Washington and Madison streets. In the course of time Veitz died, and the bar-tender married the widow, after she had sported her weeds a sufficient length of time, and succeeded to the charge of the saloon. The honeymoon was brief, for business is business and time is fleeting. Scarcely had it waned ere trouble commenced. The bar-tender manifested an affinity for other widows, and the widow for other bar-tenders. Criminations and recriminations followed, and the spirit of jealousy was aroused upon each side. On Sunday it culminated in a violent quarrel, during which Kuntz drew a revolver and discharged three barrels at her, the contents of the third taking effect in her side and inflicting a dangerous, and if inflammation sets in, a mortal wound." The bar-tender manifested an affinity for other widows, and the widow for other bar-tenders . . . you HAVE to love that kind of reporting!
February 3, 1902 -- U. S. Supreme Court Backs the City in Battle with the Illinois Central
February 3, 1902 -- A dispute between Chicago and the Illinois Central Railroad is finally resolved after being dragged through the courts for nearly two decades. The United States Supreme Court found for the city in a case that involved "made land" running from Sixteenth Street to the river, land which did not exist when the city granted the railroad a 200-foot easement in the lake to build a trestle in the mid-1860's. When over the years that section of the lake lying between the trestle and Lake Park -- toady's Grant Park -- to the west was filled in, the Illinois Central assumed ownership of the new land. If the case had gone the other way Chicago would be a much different city today because the railroad would have been given control of one of the great stretches of urban shoreline in the world. BUT the Supreme Court found that the Great Lakes were to be preserved for the COMMON GOOD, and no private encroachment was to be allowed. The photo above gives a good look at what the lakefront looked like in the mid-1890's. The building closest to the railroad tracks with the squared dome and cupola is the Interstate Exposition Building, which was torn down in 1890 to make way for the Art Institute of Chicago.

February 2, 2011 -- Snowmageddon
February 2, 2011 -- It's hard to believe that it has been five years already! On this day in 2011 Chicagoans were watching the end of the world as it unfolded. Beginning during rush hour the evening before, a brutal winter storm brought 70 m.p.h winds to the lakefront, along with thunder, lightning, and massive waves. Some snow drifts reached ten feet. Schools were cancelled for the first time in 12 years, and Lake Shore Drive was completely shut down with at least 900 cars and buses stuck there overnight and hundreds of motorists and bus riders afraid to abandon their vehicles in near white-out conditions. In excess of 19 inches of snow fell from late January 31 through February 2, the third largest storm in the city's recorded weather history.
February 1, 1955 -- First Phase of Congress Expressway Exceeds Expectations
February 1, 1955 -- Daniel Ryan (there is a name that sounds familiar), president of the Cook County board and William J. Mortimer, county highway superintendent, report that the first completed portion of the Congress Street "super-highway" is taking as many as 11,596 motorists a day from other highways. The 2.5 mile stretch from 1st Street in Maywood to Mannheim Road, was dubbed "the road to nowhere," but Ryan observed, "What we are finding is that motorists definitely will go out of their way to enjoy safe, continuous travel afforded on an expressway."

The basic personal amount, the spousal and common-law partner amount, and the eligible dependant amount have increased to $10,320.
The upper limit of the first personal income tax bracket has increased to $40,726, and the upper limit of the second personal tax bracket has increased to $81,452.
The Home Buyers Plan withdrawal limit has been increased to $25,000.
Self-employed Canadians can now opt into the Employment Insurance Program. Premium payments would begin in the year they applied into the program and they would be required to be in the program for at least one year prior to claiming benefits. Benefits are limited and specific. For more information, please contact my office.
The "equivalent to spouse credit" availability can become a complex issue. An individual who is neither married, nor in a common law relationship, or is separated and resides with a dependant under the age of 18, can make the claim. However in the case of joint custody, only one person can make the claim. Where the parents both qualify for the claim, and cannot agree on who will make the claim, it would typically be disallowed to both of them.
In a CRA technical bulletin January 5, 2010 they note that it does not consider internet access fees or the cost of a second telephone line deductible as home office expenses. Commissioned employees are exempt from this provision providing they meet the Section 8(13) requirements.
The 2010 Federal Budget has disallowed the deduction of medical procedures for purely cosmetic purposes. This includes both surgical and non-surgical procedures. Those procedures required for medical or reconstructive purposes will still apply.
Effective July 1, 2010 the Province on Ontario eliminated the provincial sales tax and harmonized it with the GST. The new HST extends to a wider range of goods and services than the old PST, but there are some exceptions. Generally a business will charge HST at 13% but items such as children's clothing will be charged HST at 5%. Also, when shipping interprovincial sales, a business will charge the HST rate in effect in the destination province.
Businesses will flow through the HST they pay and offset against the HST they bill, in the same fashion that the GST was administered.
Clients should note that Subsection 163(1) provides a penalty equal to 10% of an unreported income amount if a person fails to report an amount in the current year's return and has failed to report an amount in any of the three preceding years. There is also an additional provincial penalty of 10%. These apply even if there are source deductions. Make sure you collect all your T slips when bringing in your documents for tax preparation.
Proposed changes to the Canada Pension Plan include the removal of the work cessation test. The proposed 2012 change will allow individuals to take their CPP benefit as early as age 60 without any work interruption or reduction in hours worked or earnings.
Individuals whose business income is derived primarily from construction activities are required to file a 5018 information return, reporting all payments made in the course of the year. Failure to do so within six months of the end of the fiscal period can result in fines up to $2,500.
A taxpayer who realizes a taxable capital gain on the disposition of a share that is a qualified small business corporation may be entitled to a capital gains deduction of up to $750,000. The share must be a qualified small business corporation share at the time of disposition and all or substantially all (90%) of the fair market value of the corporation's assets are used principally (>50%) in an active business.
CRA notes that once a corporation is dissolved, it ceases to exist in law. Where tax debts are incurred postdissolution, the liability attaches against the individuals directing and controlling the business, including directors, shareholders, officers and managers.

Ole Miss Rebel Pair Coming to Albany
Following the success of Michael Fitzsimmons, who was named as the Albany Dutchmen Player of the Year in 2015, the Dutchmen are happy to welcome a pair of freshmen from the University of Mississippi: catcher Carson Klepzig and infielder Micah McHugh. Ole Miss is currently ranked No. 9 in the nation by Perfect Game, and boasts a record of 20-2.
Albany's second signee at catcher, Carson Klepzig will join the Dutchmen after his opening season with the Rebels. The Southaven, Mississippi native played his high school baseball at DeSoto Central High School, where he led the Jaguars to the first state championship in school history. Klepzig was ranked as the top catcher in the state of Mississippi by Perfect Game USA, and was among the top 15 players overall in the state upon signing to Ole Miss. As a senior, Klepzig was a second team All-State selection and was named to Perfect Game's All-Southeast Second Team, as well as USA Today's Mississippi First Team. Klepzig will provide a high-level defensive effort behind the plate, as well as a solid bat in the order for the 2016 Dutchmen.
The Dutchmen added to their infield with the addition of Micah McHugh, a freshman from Zachary, Louisiana. McHugh had a standout fall for Ole Miss, going 2-for-3 with a home run during an intrasquad scrimmage in September. During his time at Zachary High School, McHugh was considered one of the best 15 prospects in Louisiana, as well as one of the top five shortstops. Perfect Game USA named him an Honorable Mention All-American for the Southeast Region, as well as a two-time Underclass High Honorable Mention selection. In high school, McHugh was a three-time all-district and all-metro selection and was named Player of the Week in the Baton Rouge area after recording 17 RBIs in a five day span. McHugh's offensive skills and defensive versatility will boost Albany's roster this coming summer.
The Dutchmen are happy to welcome Klepzig and McHugh to the 2016 roster, and hope the two Rebels excel in the Capital City as their Ole Miss teammate did a year ago.


Looking for a quick laid back trip from Manila?
Zambales — my go to weekend destination, my favorite beach destination as it has so many to offer, laid back ambiance, nice beach and accommodation plus going to Zambales is pretty convenient from Manila as it only requires 4 – 5 hours bus ride trip.
In this blog, I'll be sharing with you my trip to San Narciso preferably the famous resort – Crystal Beach Resort.
It was a typical weekday schedule as we plan a trip for another beach escapade, tired mind and bodies over our busy workload I initially thought of a chillin' trip, nothing much of an activity but plain relaxation.
A weekday, as always, the best time to visit beaches in the Philippines, you get the entire space for yourself and the calmness was truly felt. I was initially shocked how Crystal Beach looks pretty stunning, it may not have that crystal white sand beach but the golden brown to ash grey sand does not matter as we gaze over the sun and swim thru the beach.
Plus the food that the restaurant is offering was also worth the visit and the ambiance everywhere is worthy for a snap.
HERE'S HOW TO GO TO CRYSTAL BEACH FROM MANILA?
You'll be surprised that Crystal Beach has so many options to choose from, it depends on your preference, budget and availability.
You may camp thru the tent around the beach, do glamping for a different experience, a nipa hut or a private room with AC and a private CR — they got all options to you.
As for our end, we chose to book "Matthew Attic 1" this is a room perfect for 4 pax worth P4,950.00 // the room is with AC, a private restroom, 4 single beds, a cabled TV with towels and toileries, it also include a free breakfast, you may add up to 2 addl more bed for P1,000 per pax.
Each pax only has to pay P1,190 for an overnight stay with all the amenities mentioned.
Tent Camping may go as low as P500 pesos per night per person, so everything is still really dependent on your final budget.
Since it was a lean season, and booked on a weekday we got 25% off from our total accommodation bill.
This is how the Attic looks like. We fell in love with its relaxing vibe and it felt really special at the same time. If you are big in a group, I suggest to rent this type of accommodation as well.
The beach area is a combination of a golden yellow sand to greyish ash sand. Though it does not have that white sand feels over the water, it was really clean and everyone would still end up soaking in the water.
They also offer surfing lesson should you wish one.
What makes Crystal Beach more special is the ambiance in and within the resort. The Nami Island Trees perfectly arranged here was definitely picture and IG worthy!
Other activities you may also do in Crystal Beach is to learn how to surf, spend a marshmallow bonfire by the shore, beach volley and enjoy the rest of the resort.
Inside the resort there is actually a restaurant which I recommend everyone to try too! They have affordable dishes and definitely worth the try. Price Range per dish from P120 – P200 pesos, it may be shared by 2 or more in the group so you'll be able to save more to divide all actual expenses.
For those who'll stay for overnight, part of the accommodation is the free buffet breakfast. They offer rice meals, breads, soup, drinks and coffee, pancakes and cereals and it was definitely a healthy and full breakfast to look forward too.
The Attic is so cute. I also love that nipa hut, I've never stayed at one and it sure looks interesting. What does "nipa" stand for?
As someone who lives on the coast, I know what you mean when you say – Best time to go to the beach is on weekdays. In Goa, we do not even step out during peak tourist season. However, sometimes we go to the beach near us just to see the tourists enjoying themselves.
I was invited to visit Manila last year but sadly the trip fell through, as I was so excited about it, both for the culture, the landscape and above all the food! When I do finally make it, I'm adding Zambales to my list, it looks like a great choice to chill out and relax after some time in the city.
Crystal Beach Resort looks like one of those places where you can just forget about the world and enjoy yourself! The tip of visiting during the week is very useful, because we don't particularly like overcrowded beaches, they ruin the atmosphere! Thank you for the heads up!
Crystal Beach Resort looks really lovely! The buffet breakfast looks really good, I do think you can tell a lot about a place to stay by the quality of its breakfast! I love the idea of the tents on the beach, something I would like to try!
Zambales and Crystal Beach Resort sound like a great retreat from Manila – and so close! Clever to have taken a weekday escape – I imagine it would be quite crowded on the weekends when everyone else is free. Love that the resort has accommodation options for everyone's budgets – glamping would be something I would go for I think!
Sounds like a very relaxing trip – I could go for a beach vacation right now!
You had me at marshmallow bonfire. The Philippines have been calling me for so long. Posts like yours remember how beautiful it is. I must get over there soon! The beach is so expansive. Weekdays looks like the best time to visit because there are fewer crowds.
I always say that the Philippines never fails to surprise. Just when you thought you knew all about its pristine beaches and exotic island, a hidden gem pops out from nowhere. The Crystal beach resort seems to be one such gem. I love the wide open spaces and the rustic look that the place has and the fact that it is so near to Manila makes it convenient too.
Beautiful. Someday! Never seen that side of the world before.

Michelle Rye, et al v. Women Center of Memphis, MPLLC, et al - Concurring
Authoring Judge: Chief Justice Sharon G. Lee
Trial Court Judge: Judge Gina C. Higgins
I was not serving on the Supreme Court in 2008 when Hannan v. Alltel Publishing Co., 270 S.W.3d 1 (Tenn. 2008) was argued. Had I participated in the Hannan decision, I would have joined in the majority opinion. However, after observing the application of the unique Hannan standard over the past seven years, I conclude that the Hannan standard is unworkable and should be replaced. Although it is often easier to maintain the status quo rather than admit that a mistake was made, we do not have this option. We must change course when we realize we are headed in the wrong direction.
Shelby County Supreme Court 10/26/15
Michelle Rye, et al v. Women Center of Memphis, MPLLC, et al.
Authoring Judge: Justice Cornelia A. Clark
We granted permission to appeal in this healthcare liability action to reconsider the summary judgment standard adopted in Hannan v. Alltel Publishing Co., 270 S.W.3d 1 (Tenn. 2008). The Court of Appeals concluded that the Hannan standard requires reversal of the trial court's decision granting summary judgment to the defendants on certain of the plaintiffs' claims. We hereby overrule Hannan and return to a summary judgment standard consistent with Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We hold, therefore, that a moving party may satisfy its initial burden of production and shift the burden of production to the nonmoving party by demonstrating that the nonmoving party's evidence is insufficient as a matter of law at the summary judgment stage to establish the nonmoving party's claim or defense. Applying our holding to the record in this case, we conclude that the defendants are entitled to summary judgment on all the plaintiffs' claims at issue in this appeal. Accordingly, we affirm in part and reverse in part the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand this matter to the trial court for entry of summary judgment on these issues and for any other proceedings that may be necessary.
Kevin Turner v. Stephanie D. Turner
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Martha Brasfield
We granted this appeal to determine whether the courts below erred in concluding that the mother must be afforded relief from a void default judgment terminating her parental rights even though she did not seek relief from the void judgment under Rule 60.02(3) of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure until more than eight years after it was entered. We agree with the courts below that the default judgment is void for lack of personal jurisdiction and also conclude that the reasonable time filing requirement of Rule 60.02 does not apply to petitions seeking relief from void judgments under Rule 60.02(3). Nevertheless, we hold that relief from a void judgment should be denied if the following exceptional circumstances exist: "(1) [t]he party seeking relief, after having had actual notice of the judgment, manifested an intention to treat the judgment as valid; and (2) [g]ranting the relief would impair another person's substantial interest of reliance on the judgment." Restatement (Second) of Judgments § 66 (1982). We hold that the record has not been sufficiently developed to determine whether exceptional circumstances exist. Accordingly, we reverse the judgments of the trial court and the Court of Appeals and remand for the trial court to determine, after a hearing, whether exceptional circumstances justify denying relief in this case.

Christopher Shondale Stacey v. Nissan North America, Inc., et al.
M2014-00796-SC-R3-WC
Authoring Judge: Senior Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood
Trial Court Judge: Jude J. Mark Rogers
Employee was terminated as a result of a verbal altercation with an employee of a contractor at his employer's wellness center. He thereafter sought reconsideration of his three previous workers' compensation claims. Employer asserted that Employee was not eligible for reconsideration because he was terminated for misconduct connected with his work. See Tenn. Code. Ann. § 50-6-241(d)(1)(B)(iii)(b) (2014). The trial court found that Employer had not sustained its burden of proof that Employee's misconduct was connected with his employment, determined that Employee was entitled to reconsideration, and awarded additional permanent disability benefits. Employer has appealed, contending that the trial court erred in its ruling concerning the termination, incorrectly excluded evidence of statements given by the contractor's employee and erred by finding that Employee established that he was entitled to disability benefits above those he had already received. The appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel for a hearing and a report of findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 51. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
Robertson County Supreme Court 10/15/15
Adam Ellithorpe, et al. v. Janet Weismark
Trial Court Judge: Judge Thomas W. Brothers
We granted review in this health care liability action to decide whether the trial court erred by failing to apply this Court's analysis in Estate of French v. Stratford House, 333 S.W.3d 546 (Tenn. 2011), in determining whether it was necessary for plaintiffs to provide pre-suit notice and a certificate of good faith under the Tennessee Health Care Liability Act ("THCLA"), Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-26-101 et seq. We hold that the Tennessee Civil Justice Act of 2011, which amended the THCLA, statutorily abrogated our decision in Estate of French by providing that "[a]ny such civil action or claim is subject to [the THCLA] regardless of any other claims, causes of action, or theories of liability alleged in the complaint." Because it is undisputed that the plaintiffs in this case failed to provide pre-suit notice or file a certificate of good faith, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed and the judgment of the trial court dismissing the plaintiffs' complaint with prejudice is reinstated.

American Casualty Company of Reading, Pennsylvania v. State of Tennessee
Authoring Judge: Justice Gary R. Wade
Trial Court Judge: Robert N. Hibbett, Commissioner, TN Claims Commission
Five groups of Pennsylvania-domiciled insurance companies filed complaints in the Tennessee Claims Commission seeking a refund of retaliatory taxes paid under protest. The Commissioner entered judgments denying the requested refunds, and the insurance companies appealed. The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgments. We granted permission to appeal to consider whether certain Pennsylvania workers' compensation assessments result in a financial burden on Tennessee insurance companies doing business in Pennsylvania, thereby triggering the imposition of retaliatory taxes against the Pennsylvania insurance companies doing business in Tennessee. Because the workers' compensation assessments must be paid by employer–policyholders in conjunction with their premium payments, the administrative task of collecting and remitting those payments does not qualify as a burden on the insurance companies for purposes of the retaliatory tax. The judgments of the Court of Appeals are, therefore, reversed.

Richard Moreno v. City of Clarksville - Dissenting
Trial Court Judge: Judge Michael R. Jones
As early as 1799, the Superior Court of Law and Equity of Tennessee adopted the principle that the courts of this state should interpret the law in a manner that elevates "the justice of the case" over "technical formality." Glasgow's Lessee v. Smith, 1 Tenn. (1 Overt.) 144, 151 (1799). It is equally well established that "Tennessee law strongly favors the resolution of all disputes on their merits," and that remedial statutes must "be given a broad and liberal construction in order to achieve this goal." Henley v. Cobb, 916 S.W.2d 915, 916 (Tenn. 1996). This case involves a claim brought pursuant to the Claims Commission Act and hinges on the construction of Tennessee Code Annotated section 20 1 119, a remedial statute intended to provide plaintiffs with a fair opportunity to add a non-party when a defendant alleges that the non-party was comparatively at fault for a plaintiff's injury. Becker v. Ford Motor Co., 431 S.W.3d 588, 592 (Tenn. 2014). The majority has concluded that in this instance Richard Moreno (the "Plaintiff") cannot invoke section 20 1 119 because it applies only when the defendant alleging comparative fault is named in a pleading described as a "complaint" rather than a "notice of claim," the latter being the statutory term used to describe the pleading that commences an action under the Claims Commission Act. In my view, the majority's interpretation of section 20 1 119 is contrary to the plain meaning of the statute, elevates form over substance, and violates the principle that claims should be decided on the merits whenever possible. I must, therefore, respectfully dissent.
Montgomery County Supreme Court 09/18/15
Richard Moreno v. City of Clarksville
Authoring Judge: Justice Holly Kirby
In this appeal, the claimant seeks to toll the statute of limitations on his claim against a municipality based on two statutes: (1) Tennessee Code Annotated § 20-1-119, the 90-day "window" in Tennessee's comparative fault statute to name a non-party defendant as a comparative tortfeasor, and (2) Tennessee Code Annotated § 9-8-402(b), the tolling provision in the Tennessee Claims Commission Act that states that the filing of written notice of a claim against the State tolls all statutes of limitations as to other persons potentially liable to the claimant. The trial court dismissed the claimant's complaint against the municipality. It held that, because the antecedent complaint against the State of Tennessee was filed in the Tennessee Claims Commission after expiration of the one-year limitations period, the 90-day window under Section 20-1-119 to file the lawsuit against the municipality, as a comparative tortfeasor, was never triggered. The Court of Appeals reversed, reasoning that the claimant's written notice of his claim against the State, filed with the Division of Claims Administration before the one-year limitations period elapsed, was an "original complaint" within the meaning of Section 20-1-119, so the lawsuit against the municipality was timely. The municipality appeals. We hold that the complaint, not the written notice of a claim, is the "original complaint" under Section 20-1-119, so the 90-day window to name a non-party defendant as a comparative tortfeasor was never triggered in this case. We also hold that Section 9-8-402(b), the tolling provision in the Claims Commission Act, is not applicable to toll the statute of limitations for a claim against a municipality filed under Tennessee's Governmental Tort Liability Act. Therefore, this action is time-barred.
State of Tennessee v. Rickey Alvis Bell, Jr. - Concurring In Part and Dissenting In Part
W2012-02017-SC-DDT-DD
Trial Court Judge: Judge Joe H. Walker, III
I concur with the majority's holdings as to the trial court's denial of Mr. Bell's motion to strike the death notice based on intellectual disability; the constitutionality of Tennessee Code Annotated section 39-13-203 that prohibits the execution of any intellectually disabled person; and the trial court's denial of Mr. Bell's motions for mistrial. I agree with the majority's conclusion that the trial court erred by refusing to allow Mr. Bell to introduce evidence that Rick Harris, the victim's husband, was having an affair with his ex-wife at the time the victim was murdered. However, I disagree that the error was harmless. In my view, the State failed to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that this error did not affect the outcome of the trial. Because Mr. Bell was deprived of his constitutional right to present a defense and the State failed to show that the error did not affect the verdict, Mr. Bell is entitled to a new trial. For these reasons, I respectfully dissent from the majority's holding that Mr. Bell is not entitled to a new trial and would pretermit the remaining issues.
Tipton County Supreme Court 09/10/15
State of Tennessee v. Rickey Alvis Bell, Jr.
Authoring Judge: Justice Jeffrey S. Bivins
Trial Court Judge: Judge Joe H. Walker
In this capital case, the jury convicted the Defendant, Rickey Alvis Bell, Jr., of two alternative counts of first degree felony murder, one count of especially aggravated kidnapping, and one count of aggravated sexual battery. The jury sentenced the Defendant to death for the first degree murder based on four aggravating circumstances. On direct appeal, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the Defendant's convictions. The Court of Criminal Appeals concluded that the record did not support two of the aggravating circumstances but nonetheless affirmed the death sentence. We now address the following issues: (1) whether the trial court erred in denying the Defendant's motion to strike the death notice on the ground that he is intellectually disabled; (2) whether Tennessee's statute prohibiting the execution of intellectually disabled persons is unconstitutional; (3) whether the trial court erred in denying the Defendant's two motions for mistrial; (4) whether the trial court erred by refusing to allow the Defendant to adduce evidence that the victim's husband was having an extramarital affair at the time the victim was murdered; (5) whether the evidence was sufficient to support the Defendant's convictions; and (6) our mandatory review of the Defendant's death sentence. Upon our thorough review of the record and applicable law, we affirm the Defendant's convictions and death sentence.
David G. Young v. City of Lafollette, et al.
Trial Court Judge: Judge John D. McAfee
We granted permission to appeal to address two issues: (1) Whether the Governmental Tort Liability Act ("GTLA"), Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-20-101 to -408 (2012 & Supp. 2014), applies to Tennessee Public Protection Act ("TPPA"), Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-1-304 (2008 & Supp. 2009), claims against governmental entities; and (2) If the GTLA does not apply, whether a constitutional or statutory right to trial by jury applies to TPPA claims brought in circuit court. As to the first issue, we hold that the GTLA does not apply to TPPA claims because the TPPA is an independent and specific body of law, which removes governmental immunity and thus controls the adjudication of TPPA claims against governmental entities. As to the second question, we hold that there is no constitutional right to trial by jury for TPPA claims and that there is no statutory right to trial by jury for TPPA claims filed in circuit court. Accordingly, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is affirmed on the separate grounds stated herein, and this matter is remanded to the circuit court for further proceedings consistent with this decision.

Kighwaunda M. Yardley v. Hospital Housekeeping Systems, LLC.
Trial Court Judge: Judge Aleta A. Trauger
We accepted a question of law certified by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee to determine whether a job applicant has a cause of action under the Tennessee Workers' Compensation Act against a prospective employer for failure to hire if the prospective employer failed to hire the job applicant because that applicant had filed, or is likely to file, a workers' compensation claim against a previous employer, and if such a cause of action exists, what standard should apply. We hold that there is no cause of action for failure to hire under the Tennessee Workers' Compensation Act.
State of Tennessee v. Courtney Knowles - Dissent
W2013-00503-SC-R11-CD
Trial Court Judge: Judge James M. Lammey
"Hard cases, it has frequently been observed, are apt to introduce bad law." Winterbottom v. Wright, 152 Eng. Rep. 403, 404 (1842). The same is true of "cases in which . . . moral indignation . . . is aroused" by egregious facts. Glanville Williams, The Sanctity of Life and the Criminal Law 105 (1957). The defendant here, convicted of the rape of a child and already serving a forty-year sentence for related federal offenses, deserves no sympathy. Because, however, constitutional principles sometimes get in the way of what might otherwise qualify as a just punishment, I must dissent from my colleagues. The fundamental principle at issue here is the right to a unanimous jury verdict, see Tenn. Const. art. I, § 6, which requires the State to elect the specific evidence it is relying upon for a conviction when the jury hears proof of more than one instance of sexual misconduct. State v. Johnson, 53 S.W.3d 628, 630 (Tenn. 2001). Regrettably, the State misidentified the factual basis for the charged offense in this instance. Because this error, although clearly inadvertent, served to undermine the fundamental right to a unanimous verdict, I believe that a new trial should be ordered.
State of Tennessee v. Courtney Knowles
The dispositive issue in this appeal is whether an inaccuracy in the prosecution's election of offenses amounted to plain error that entitles the defendant to relief. Although the Court of Criminal Appeals erred by failing to subject the election issue to plain error analysis, we hold, after thoroughly reviewing the record pursuant to the plain error doctrine, that the election error does not entitle the defendant to relief. Despite the inaccuracy, the election was sufficiently specific to eliminate any substantial risk that the jury would return a non-unanimous verdict. Additionally, the defendant has failed to provide a complete record of the proceedings in the trial court. Accordingly, under these circumstances, we affirm, on the separate grounds stated, the Court of Criminal Appeals' judgment upholding the defendant's conviction of rape of a child.
Arthur B. Roberts et al. v. Robert Bailey et al.
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Frank V. Williams, III
The plaintiffs filed suit against the defendants to settle a boundary dispute. During the litigation, the defendants, who had for years enjoyed the continuous and exclusive possession of their lands, discovered that their ancestors, husband and wife, had acquired title during the "gap years" and, in consequence, had owned the lands as tenants in common rather than tenants by the entirety. The defendants, proceeding as third-party plaintiffs, filed a motion to quiet title against third-party defendants, also descendants of their ancestors, who each claimed an ownership interest in the disputed lands by inheritance. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the third-party defendants. The Court of Appeals affirmed. On remand, the defendants/third-party plaintiffs amended their complaint, seeking to establish title by prescription. The trial court again denied relief, and the Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that the third-party defendants" "undisputed ignorance" of their status as co-tenants in common with their relatives precluded a "presumptive ouster" and, therefore, prevented the defendants/third-party plaintiffs from taking title by prescription. Because the undisputed facts establish that each of the elements of title by prescription has been satisfied, the Court of Appeals is reversed and the original defendants are awarded title by prescription. This cause is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Homer L. Cody v. Board of Professional Responsibility of The Supreme Court of Tennessee
W2014-02003-SC-R3-BP
Trial Court Judge: Senior Judge Don R. Ash
A hearing panel of the Board of Professional Responsibility determined that a Memphis attorney should be suspended from the practice of law for 180 days based on his violation of Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 8, Rules of Professional Conduct 1.7(a), 8.4(a), and 8.4(d). The trial court affirmed the decision of the Hearing Panel. After careful consideration, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
Yarboro Sallee v. Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility
E2014-01062-SC-R3-BP
Trial Court Judge: Judge Don R. Ash
In this appeal from attorney disciplinary proceedings, the hearing panel of the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility suspended the law license of the appellant attorney for one year. The hearing panel determined that the attorney violated Rules 1.4, 1.5, 1.16, 4.4, and 8.4 of the Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct. Its decision was based on, inter alia, the attorney's failure to communicate with the client, excessive fees, withholding items from the client's files after termination of her representation, and sending the clients' new attorney emails threatening criminal prosecution of the former clients. The attorney sought judicial review of the hearing panel's decision, and the trial court affirmed the decision of the hearing panel. The attorney now appeals to this Court. After a careful review of the record, we affirm.
Knox County Supreme Court 07/23/15
State of Tennessee v. Ricco R. Williams - Dissenting
A majority of this Court has determined that when a defendant is charged with the offenses of kidnapping and robbery as to different victims during a single criminal episode, the jury is not entitled to an instruction, pursuant to State v. White, 362 S.W.3d 559 (Tenn. 2012), that in order to convict on the kidnapping charge it must first determine whether the removal or confinement of the kidnapping victim is "essentially incidental" to the contemporaneous robbery of another victim. Because I cannot agree with my colleagues that the White instruction is never applicable to these circumstances, for the reasons set forth in my separate opinion filed today in State v. Teats, No. M2012-01232-SC-R11-CD, I must respectfully dissent.
Lauderdale County Supreme Court 07/14/15
State of Tennessee v. Ricco R. Williams
This appeal presents the issue of whether a trial judge is required to give a jury instruction based on our decision in State v. White, 362 S.W.3d 559 (Tenn. 2012), when a defendant is tried on charges of kidnapping and robbery of different victims. The defendant, along with two accomplices, broke into a family's home while they were sleeping. Brandishing weapons, the intruders forced the family members to remain in the living room while they ransacked the home. The intruders later fled with money and jewelry. At trial, a White jury instruction was neither requested nor given. The jury convicted the defendant of numerous charges, including five counts of especially aggravated kidnapping of the husband, wife, and three children; aggravated burglary of the husband's residence; and two counts of aggravated robbery of the husband and wife. The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the convictions for especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, and one count of aggravated robbery as to the husband and modified the conviction of aggravated robbery of the wife to aggravated assault. On review, we remanded the case for consideration in light of White. The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the convictions of especially aggravated kidnapping as to the three children, but, in light of White and State v. Cecil, 409 S.W.3d 599 (Tenn. 2013), reversed the convictions of especially aggravated kidnapping as to the husband and wife and remanded those charges for a new trial. In this appeal, the defendant asserts that the trial court's failure to give a White jury instruction as to the remaining three convictions for the especially aggravated kidnapping of the children constituted reversible error. In accordance with our opinion in State v. Teats, __S.W.3d__, No. M2012 01232 SC R11 CD (Tenn. 2015) released contemporaneously with this opinion, we hold that the White jury instruction was not required as to the offenses of especially aggravated kidnapping of the three children.
State of Tennessee v. Jerome Maurice Teats - Dissenting
Trial Court Judge: Judge Steve R. Dozier
A majority of this Court has determined that when a defendant is charged with the offenses of kidnapping and robbery as to different victims during a single criminal episode, the jury is not entitled to an instruction, pursuant to State v. White, 362 S.W.3d 559 (Tenn. 2012), that in order to convict on the kidnapping charge it must first determine whether the removal or confinement of the kidnapping victim is "essentially incidental" to the contemporaneous robbery of another victim. Because I cannot agree with my colleagues that the White instruction is never applicable to these circumstances, I respectfully dissent.

Blame the C-Suite for Tech Talent Exodus
By DWFTrends editors on January 04, 2022
Digital transformation is in danger, at least from the tech talent point of view. But the blame lies with the C-suite and the senior management.
According to a new study by Ivanti, companies hell-bent on driving their digital transformation plans inadvertently put unrealistic expectations on tech talents. And in a market where tech skills are in red hot demand, it is not surprising that many are walking out of the door.
This has made keeping up with digital transformation (32%) and keeping talent in technical roles (26%) the top challenges for IT departments, said the report. And both are intrinsically linked.
7 Ways Talent Strategies Need To Change in 2022
Why You Need Neurodiverse Talent
Despite IT departments being seen as critical for company growth and business strategy (61% of respondents said so), they are not getting support for managing the increased workloads. As a result, 72% of respondents reported losing team members, with 41% citing a high workload as the top reason for losing team members.
Other reasons include unrealistic expectations placed on the team (34%), lack of executive support (32%), remote work was not a possibility (28%), executive hesitancy to adopt automation (26%), and lack of critical technology to effectively do their job (24%).
There is also a disconnect between what senior management thinks and what the middle managers believe. In the survey, this disconnect between C-Suite/Vice President and Managers/Directors was made clear with numbers. For example, managers and directors were more likely to report that the IT department was viewed as only a cost center (27%) versus only 19% of C-Suite/Vice President respondents who only viewed IT as a cost center.
Another area of concern is the lack of investment in automation tools despite facts and figures proving that these can alleviate workload pressure. In the study, a majority (55%) of respondents reported automating IT processes saving the IT department 1 - 8 hours per service request; for companies with over 50% of their IT services automated, the time saved per service request jumped to more than 16 hours.
Yet even with the pandemic speeding up the rapid shift to remote work and with 67% of decision-makers reporting they are increasing adoption of automated IT service offerings as a result, only 1% of them have done so.
This adds additional pressure on tech talents who are expected to connect with various devices to corporate networks, data, and services.
"Employees are working differently than they have in years before, and we'll continue to see an evolution of how people work as we move into the future and beyond the pandemic," said Nayaki Nayyar, president and chief product officer, Ivanti. "The workloads and pressure to perform that have been placed on IT teams will only continue to increase. The only way to alleviate some of these stresses and retain technical talent is to implement automation into IT services so that team members can focus their attention on activities that drive the business forward and contribute to the business strategy."
The level of automation can also be correlated with how a company views its IT department. Companies with more than 50% of IT services automated were more likely to feel the IT department is critical to its growth and business strategy (74%). Of this same group, only 32% feel the executive team views IT as only around to troubleshoot hardware or software issues vs. 47% of all respondents.

Home > About Us > The John W. Olver Design Building at UMass Amherst
The John W. Olver Design Building was completed in January 2017
John W. Olver Design Building Quick Facts
On 10/27/2017, the building was named in honor of former U.S. Rep. John W. Olver who was instrumental in making this a showcase wood structure.
The Design Building is the shared home of the Building and Construction Technology program (in the Department of Environmental Conservation), the Department of Architecture, and the Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning.
It has four floors on 87,500 GSF and cost $52 million ($36 million for construction alone), and construction time was August 2015 – January 2017 (18 months). This project was supported by the MA State Legislature as a demonstration project for wood structures.
Its address is 551 N. Pleasant St. in Amherst, MA 01003.
WoodWorks case study (click to view)
At its core, the Design Building has a contemporary, heavy-timber ("mass timber") wood structure, consisting of an exposed glulam frame (columns, beams, braces), cross-laminated timber (CLT) and concrete composite floors, and CLT shaft walls (for stairs, elevator, and mechanical shafts). It also features a three-story, folded, grand CLT stair in the atrium.
The wood-concrete composite floor system uses technology that was researched right here at UMass by BCT.
The 70,000 ft3 of wood used in the Design Building grew in just six minutes (considering all of N. America's forests). This growth process also removed (sequestered) 2,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, which is now permanently stored in the building. This is equivalent to taking 500 cars off the road for one year.
This building is the largest and most technologically advanced academic contemporary wood structure in the US. It is also the first in the US to use the wood-concrete composite floor system.
At the upper level, the building has a roof garden, which is supported by a long-span wood-steel truss system (a "zipper" truss) that is exposed in the atrium below.
Even before its completion, the Design Building was featured in an exhibit at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC.
Besides the wood structure, this building's other sustainability features are: LED lighting, motion sensors, ample daylighting, electro-tinting glass, heat-recovery systems, roof gardens, bioswales, rain gardens, low-flow faucets, public transportation access, and more.

John W. Olver Design Building in the Media / Awards
The UMass Design Building has received quite a bit of media attention. We maintain the current list of news items here. This page also features a list of all awards for the building.
About the John W. Olver Design Building
Together with our colleagues in the departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning (LARP), BCT has planned a new home that since January 2017 co-locates all of us. As announced, the UMass Building authority has retained renowned Boston-based Architecture firm Leers Weinzapfel Associates (LWA) as the design firm for our new building, the "(Integrated) Design Building" (I)DB at UMass Amherst.
On approximately 87,500 square feet, this building houses classrooms and studios, computer labs, lounges, meeting and teleconferencing rooms, materials-testing lab, green-building lab, wood shop, digital fabrication lab, outdoor work area, departmental admin (Architecture and LARP only), faculty and staff, graduate students, as well as a cafe, exhibit space, library, and function spaces. It also features a covered indoor commons on the first floor and an outdoor courtyard complete with green roof on the third floor. The image below shows the underlying wood structure.
BCT has been working with the various structural, sustainability and energy consultants to make this building as sustainable as we can, given the project's budget. For example, this building will feature a glue-laminated wood, cross-laminated timber (CLT) and wood-concrete composite structure (based on BCT research) that replaces the common steel/concrete construction type that is common in the area. This structural system reduces this building's carbon footprint and maximizes the use of renewable materials. In its landscape, the building is slated to feature rainwater-control features like a partial green roof and bioswales. At this point, the mandated rating target for this building is USGBC's LEED Gold (v.3) with a possibility of Platinum.
We are all excited to have the opportunity in this building to bring together design and research disciplines that encompass the entire range of the built environment which in turn will enhance research, teaching and learning, and enable a collaborative approach to ideas and current issues.
Are you or your company interested in supporting BCT in our new home? Talk to us about it. This building has many naming opportunities (classrooms, shops, labs, common areas, studios,…) and is a very targeted way for you to reach future builders, project managers, architects, landscape architects and regional planners. Contact Alex Schreyer, BCT Program Director if you would like to start a conversation about this.

Columbus Removes Columbus
I look forward to driving by Woke, Wisconsin, in the future.
MADISON – Leaders of a small Wisconsin city named after Christopher Columbus voted this week to remove a monument to its namesake, joining legions of government officials grappling with how to recognize American history while acknowledging its flaws.
The statue of Christopher Columbus has stood in a major thoroughfare at the intersection of two highways in Columbus — about 27 miles northeast of Madison — for three decades.
That's changing after the Columbus Common Council voted 4-1 on Tuesday to remove the statue from its prominent location and put it in storage until officials can find a new home for it.
The removal comes after a Columbus High School student, Abbi Adams, started a petition following the death of George Floyd, a Black man who was killed by a white police officer who knelt on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes while arresting him.

Bunch of fools.
Ship it to Kewaskum.
We honor history.
Pat	on July 8, 2020 at 2:20 pm
Have you reached out to them to let them know Kewaskum wants it?
Jason	on July 8, 2020 at 2:25 pm
Do you genuinely care?
I think it would be a great addition to the village. Perhaps there are other unwanted/retired statues that could be obtained. They could be position throughout the community. It would make for a great draw in tourism. I believe there will be a great demand to view them, and I can't think of a more welcoming place than Kewaskum. They already have a 911 memorial.
"Home for the Western Civilization culture leftists hateand scorn" could be the motto.
I have not reached out yet, but I'll send the mayor a message.
Sent the Mayor this quick note.
Dear Mayor Thom,
Based on press reports, I understand your community has removed your Christopher Columbus statue. Those same press reports indicate this important piece of artwork has been put into "storage" until the community decides what to do with it.
If you, and the City of Columbus Common Council are willing, the Village of Kewaskum would be happy to take the artwork off your hands at no cost to the Columbus community. I am certain we can find somewhere to display artwork that gives proper honor and respect to Western civilization in our community.
Thank you for your consideration on giving this important artwork a new home.
Kevin Scheunemann
Village of Kewaskum President
That is a well written letter! Good luck, Kevin.

Randall Flagg	on July 9, 2020 at 12:19 am
Good solution Kevin. Win-win.
When cities take down statues they should sell them to people who want them. For example the statues Richmond is taking down could be sold to a private collector. The collector could display the statues on their private property, and even charge admission to recoup what they paid for the statue. And, the city gets some much needed money.
Win-win.
My thought is that the training should have never happened, and those that organized it should be terminated.
Kevin Scheunemann	on July 9, 2020 at 11:49 am
Randall,
Sell? Columbus has determined this important piece of artwork and history to be worthless in their shameful lack of defense of Western civilization.
They should be thankful I am willing to take it off their hands for free.
If it is a "value" on the other hand…why do you hide that value from the public, to see and benefit from, by putting it into storage?
Kevin Scheunemann	on July 11, 2020 at 7:18 am
Can we say this piece of radio, is partially your doing? :-)
Minute 78. Abouy Minute 66 starts Columbus conversation. Somebody reads Boots and Sabers. I can confirm there is another press person that read this B&S exchange between me and Pat, who I did give quotes to.
