In Pictures: NYCFC stroll past Philadelphia Union in Eastern Conference Knockout Round
November 1, 2018 / Louis East	/ Leave a comment
Maxi Moralez scored and picked up two assists as New York City FC strolled past Philadelphia Union 3-1 in Wednesday's Eastern Conference Knockout Round. The result sees NYCFC through to the Conference Semifinals for the third-straight year. But it means Philadelphia are left searching for their first ever playoff win. A search they'll have to wait another year to continue.
The game saw a repeat scoreline from Sunday's Regular Season clash, which was also at Yankee Stadium. Ismael Tajouri-Shradi and David Villa added NYCFC's other goals on the night. While Corey Burke scored a late goal for the Union, which was little more than a consolation after a tough night for the East's sixth-seed.
NYCFC will now face Atlanta United over two legs in the Eastern Conference Semifinal, with the first leg on Sunday at Yankee Stadium.

Major League Soccer: New York City FC vs Orlando City
Yankee Stadium – Saturday, June 2nd 2018 – 19:30 ET (00:30 BST)
New York City FC vs Orlando City: Preview
Saturday evening sees New York City FC welcome Orlando City to Yankee Stadium. Both the Eastern Conference sides are in an inconsistent run of form.
Patrick Vieira's NYCFC come into this one having won just two of their last five games. As a result of their recent run they have lost a little ground in the race at the top of the East. Although they are sitting third, they are just two points behind the leaders.
Form at Yankee Stadium paints a completely different picture for New York City FC. They have won all five of their home fixtures and will be looking at this game as a winnable one.
More scenes tomorrow 🙏 #ForTheCity pic.twitter.com/znq4Wa6UPD

Orlando City have lost three games on the bounce. They are in danger of slipping out of the top six and considering their form earlier in the season it will be disappointing for all involved.
Jason Kreis' side saw their inability to find the back of the net when they are on top cost them last time out. They lost 2-1 for the third game in a row, this time at the hands of Chicago. In stark contrast, some clinical finishing was enough for Chicago to inflict that defeat on Orlando.
The Lions are hoping for the return of Dom Dwyer, they have not been the same side without him. The striker has six goals in the seven games he has played – so it's no surprise they have missed his input.

New York City FC vs Orlando City: Prediction
New York City FC 3-1 Orlando City: Despite Orlando being in a difficult run of form there is encouragement for them as they are still finding the back of the net. NYCFC's Yankee Stadium form and superior league position makes it difficult to see anything but a home win. No game is a given, but Orlando have work to do if they are to bring that 100% home record to a stop.

March 12, 2018 March 16, 2018 / Louis East	/ Leave a comment
NYCFC 2-1 LA Galaxy – All eyes were on Yankee Stadium on Sunday evening as New York City FC welcomed LA Galaxy for their home opener. Both sides came into the contest following Week 1 victories but it was NYCFC who made it two wins from two, beating LA 2-1 in David Villa's 100th match for the club.
New York City started brightly and were rewarded when winter signing Anton Tinnerhom rifled a shot in off the crossbar following good work from Jesus Medina and Villa. The Spaniard's cross was blocked by Michael Ciani but only into the path of Tinnerholm, who volleyed in off the bar after 22 minutes.
NYCFC then doubled their lead in the 33rd minute, as Villa celebrated his 100th NYCFC appearance with a goal. The hosts raced away on a counter-attack led by Jesus Medina. He played in Ben Sweat, who saw his effort saved by David Bingham straight into the path of Villa who simply tapped home.
LA Galaxy improved after halftime and got a goal back on the hour-mark through Jonathan Dos Santos. But they couldn't get the equaliser despite pressing for most of the second-half.
Their chances took a major blow in the late stages as captain Ashley Cole was sent off for a second yellow card offence for seemingly tripping David Villa. The game ended NYCFC 2-1 LA Galaxy as New York City FC keep their perfect start to the season on track.

New York City FC vs LA Galaxy: Preview
New York City FC welcome LA Galaxy to Yankee Stadium for their home opener on Sunday evening in what is probably the standout MLS fixture of Week 2. Both sides picked up wins on opening weekend and will be looking to make it two from two here.
NYCFC impressed a lot of people with the way they went about beating Sporting Kansas City last weekend. It's not an easy place to visit by Patrick Vieira's men countered really well and came away with all three points and a clean sheet. Jesus Medina impressed on his debut and got himself a goal too. The only negative was the late red card shown to Maxime Chanot, meaning the defender won't be available here.

— New York City FC (@NYCFC) March 8, 2018
NYCFC will be expecting to make it two wins from two. The home fans will be excited for their home opener and know the squad has the quality to be one of, if not the best teams in MLS this season. Beating the Galaxy on Sunday would further emphasise that.
LA Galaxy got their season off to the right start too, as they beat Western Conference rivals Portland 2-1 at StubHub Center. That win was much needed for Sigi Schmid and his team after their disastrous 2017 campaign. Ola Kamara scored on his debut and got off to the perfect start.

— LA Galaxy (@LAGalaxy) March 9, 2018
The Galaxy still need time to get back to their absolute best but the early signs were promising. Defensively they looked better but NYCFC have a lot of quality for the LA defenders to deal with. The major blow for the Galaxy is the loss of Romain Alessandrini. The Frenchman picked up a hamstring injury last week and is ruled out as a result.
Sunday's clash will be just the fourth meeting between the two sides. The only previous game at Yankee Stadium saw NYCFC run out 1-0 winners thanks to an early David Villa goal. The Spaniard also scored in last year's clash, netting a fine left-footed strike to seal a 2-0 win at StubHub Center. This weekend's game will be Villa's 100th for the club. He's scored an incredible 65 goals and added 22 assists in his 99 appearances so far.

New York City FC vs LA Galaxy: Key Stats
NYCFC's MLS form: W
LA Galaxy's MLS form: W
Key stat: New York City FC only lost two home games during the regular season last year, although one of those losses came in their final regular season game at Yankee Stadium as Portland left with a 1-0 win.
New York City FC vs LA Galaxy: Prediction
New York City FC 3-1 LA Galaxy: Both sides like to play free-flowing, attractive football and that should lead to a great spectacle. NYCFC may struggle with the absence of Chanot in defence, although LA Galaxy's chances of capitalising on his loss have been negated by the injury to Alessandrini. Goals are expected but NYCFC look poised to make it six points as they take to the field at home for the first time this season.

Major League Soccer: New York City FC vs Toronto FC
Yankee Stadium – Wednesday, July 19 – 19:30 ET (00:30 BST)
Match Odds: New York 5/6 – Draw 13/5 – Toronto 14/5
New York City FC vs Toronto FC: Preview
New York City welcome Toronto to Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night in a key game in the Eastern Conference. The two sides are separated by five points as they continue to battle in the race for the Supporters' Shield.
Patrick Vieira's side have been giving a good account of themselves this season. They're sitting third and are on course for their highest points tally since their inception into Major League Soccer.
NYCFC have been scoring freely. They have netted at least two goals in their last six matches, however they could find it hard to continue that run here. Toronto have conceded the joint least amount of goals in the Eastern Conference.
Toronto FC will want to continue where they left off on the road. They won 3-1 on their last travels at Orlando. They are locked level on 38 points at the top of the East.
TFC are in for a tough visit to Yankee Stadium. They face an NYCFC side who haven't lost in five at home, so if they come away with all three points it will be a huge result.
Greg Vanney will be expecting his side to avoid defeat at the very least. The last time Toronto visited Yankee Stadium they won 5-0 with a Sebastian Giovinco hat-trick, however this is a much improved New York City side.
No one enjoys a day at the ballpark more than Sebastian Giovinco

New York City FC vs Toronto FC: Team News
New York City are expecting to be without three players for this one as Khiry Shelton and Ronald Matarrita are out, while Yangel Herrera remains a doubt. Miguel Camargo is away at the Gold Cup with Panama, while Rodney Wallace is with Costa Rica. Sean Johnson has been released from the USA squad and should start.
Toronto will be without both Steven Beitashour and Nick Hagglund as they continue to recover from long-term injuries. They will be a miss. TFC also have a whole host away at the Gold Cup. Armando Cooper, Raheem Edwards, Justin Morrow, Jonathan Osorio, Tosaint Ricketts, Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley are all absent. This is going to be a test for a squad stretched to the limit.
New York City FC vs Toronto FC: Key Points
New York City's last five: W/W/W/W/L
Toronto's last five: L/W/W/L/W
Key Stat: Home form – New York City have won their last three on the bounce at Yankee Stadium.
Key Player: David Villa – A key match up here is David Villa and Sebastian Giovinco. The Spaniard is in good form and will be relied on to push his side to victory.
New York City FC vs Toronto FC: Prediction
New York City FC 2-2 Toronto FC – Nothing to separate the two sides in a score draw. City will want to close the gap but they know how tough Toronto will be to break down. A solid away point for TFC.
MLS Preview and Prediction: New York City FC vs Minnesota United
June 28, 2017 June 28, 2017 / Louis East	/ 1 Comment
Competition: Major League Soccer – New York City FC vs. Minnesota United
Venue: Yankee Stadium – Thursday, June 29 – 19:30 ET (00:30 BST)
Match Odds: NYCFC 2/5 – Draw 15/4 – Minnesota 11/2
New York City welcome Minnesota United to Yankee Stadium on Thursday night as Week 18 gets started with a first-ever MLS clash between the two sides.
NYCFC will be in high spirits after picking up a first win at Red Bull Arena in Saturday's 2-0 derby win. That result kept them in third place in the East and just five behind Toronto at the top of the standings.
Patrick Vieira's men have looked strong all season but they are particularly good at home. They are unbeaten in four at Yankee Stadium and have won three of those.
That will sound ominous for a Minnesota side that have struggled massively on their travels in their inaugural season so far.
The Loons have lost four in a row away from home in all competitions and have picked up just two points from eight away games in MLS this term.
They come into the game off the back of Saturday's hard-fought 2-2 home draw with Vancouver, in which they came back from two goals to earn a point. But they know they will need to put in a special performance if they are to halt NYCFC on Thursday.
This will be the first clash between the two sides in history, so it should be an exciting matchup between two sides with plenty of dangerous attacking players at their disposal.
New York City FC will be without attacking duo Khiry Shelton and Maxi Moralez once again, with both still sidelined through injury. Ronald Matarrita is in line to start after coming off the bench in Saturday's win at Red Bull Arena.
Minnesota United's injury list is still worrying long as Bernardo Anor, Thomas de Villardi, Joseph Greenspan, Abu Danladi, Marc Burch, Vadim Demidov and Brent Kallman are all set to miss out.
NYCFC's form: L/D/W/W/W
Minnesota United's form: W/L/L/W/D
Key Stat: Minnesota United haven't won away from home since joining MLS. In fact, they haven't won a single away game of any kind since beating FC Edmonton in April 2016.
Key Player: Jack Harrison – The young English attacker has been in great form this season and added his seventh goal of the season in Saturday's 2-0 win at the Red Bulls with a fine strike into the top corner. He has three goals and two assists in his last six MLS outings and will look to hurt the Loons here.
Score Prediction
New York City FC 3-0 Minnesota United – It's difficult to see anything other than an NYCFC win in this one. Minnesota are decimated by injuries and haven't looked like winning away from home this season. New York City have hit stride at a crucial stage of the season and should continue to put pressure on Toronto FC at the top of the East with a routine home victory.

Competition: Major League Soccer – New York City FC vs. Orlando City
Venue: Yankee Stadium – Sunday, April 23 – 13:30 ET (18:30 BST)
Match Odds: NYCFC 4/6 – Draw 14/5 – Orlando 15/4
New York City welcome Orlando City to Yankee Stadium in one of the standout fixtures of gameweek eight, the Eastern Conference sides are separated by just two points ahead of the clash.
NYCFC come into this one having won 2-0 away at Philadelphia. David Villa scored one of the goals of his career, an incredible strike from distance.
Patrick Vieira's side are unbeaten at home so far this season and they will want to keep that run going this weekend. They should be competing to top the Eastern Conference and will need to be beating sides like Orlando to do so.

Orlando City are one point off top spot in the East despite playing two games less than leaders Columbus. They have scored just six goals in their five games this season, but have been resolute at the back.
The Lions are looking fierce and resilient early on this season but to win here is going to be a huge ask. Their only away game of 2017 was a 2-0 loss against Columbus and they only won three times on the road last season.
Cyle Larin has enjoyed some great success in front of goal against NYCFC, netting seven in the last six meetings between the two sides.

— Orlando City SC (@OrlandoCitySC) April 19, 2017
Khiry Shelton and Ronald Matarrita look set to be the only absentees for NYCFC against the visiting Orlando this weekend.
Orlando could be without up to five players for this fixture as Kaká, Seb Hines, Rafael Ramos and Jose Aja are all out, while Antonio Nocerino remains a doubt.
NYCFC's form: W/D/W/L/W
Orlando City's form: W/W/L/W/W
Key Stat: David Villa and Kyle Larin have both scored four times so far this season, their reliability in front of goal may well be key to decide who wins this one.
Key Player: Jack Harrison – The NYCFC forward has had a good start to the season, he netted his second goal of 2017 last weekend and will be hoping to get on the scoresheet once again here.
New York City FC 2-2 Orlando City – Score draw. NYCFC will continue their unbeaten run at Yankee Stadium and not lose any ground against their Eastern Conference rivals this weekend. Orlando to pick up their first away point of the season, albeit this is only their second game on the road.
MLS Preview and Prediction: New York City FC vs San Jose Earthquakes

Competition: Major League Soccer – New York City FC vs. San Jose Earthquakes
Venue: Yankee Stadium – Saturday, April 1 – 14:00 ET (19:00 BST)
Match Odds: New York City FC 3/4 – Draw 13/5 – San Jose Earthquakes 100/30
New York City FC welcome San Jose Earthquakes to Yankee Stadium on Saturday night in what is a very interesting early-season encounter, with the visitors looking for their third win of the season in the Big Apple.
A feature for both sides in 2017 has been to have had the majority of possession, an area both will want to continue to dominate. But something has to give and that should lead to an interesting tactical battle on the narrow pitch at Yankee Stadium.
Saturday will be NYCFC's third home game on the bounce and having already racked up four points from the previous two, Patrick Vieira and his men will want to end the string of home matches with a win and put seven points on the board.
San Jose on the other hand will be playing their second away game and having lost their previous four road matches in MLS, the odds are not in their favour. It seems, at the minute at least, the Earthquakes are reliant on their home form if they're to make the playoffs come October.
If it wasn't for David Bingham's shocking error in the dying minutes at SKC two weeks ago, the Quakes might well have rescued a point from Florian Jungwirth's stoppage time goal. They know they are good enough defensively to compete with the NYCFC attack, but the test will be how quickly they can break on the hosts on Saturday.
This will be just the third ever MLS meeting between these two sides. NYCFC beat San Jose 3-2 in the first ever matchup in 2015 before the sides played out a 0-0 draw at Avaya Stadium last August.
New York City FC are only missing one player through injury as Mikey Lopez is out long term after ankle surgery.
San Jose are missing three players, with Quincy Amarikwa out after knee surgery, while Marvell Wynne is out indefinitely with a heart abnormality and Marc Pelosi has a knee injury.
New York City FC's form: L/W/D
San Jose Earthquakes' form: W/W/L
Key Stat: San Jose have lost their last four away matches in MLS.
Key Player: David Villa – It seems easy to highlight NYCFC's star player but in a home match that they are expected to win, he is expected to deliver. The Spaniard has the ability to take this game away from San Jose pretty quickly.
New York City FC 3-1 San Jose Earthquakes – Having started with a loss on the opening day, NYCFC are already playing catch up and despite San Jose's good start to 2017, we expect a home win at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

November 4, 2016 November 4, 2016 / Lewis Addley	/ Leave a comment
Competition: MLS Cup Playoffs (Eastern Conference Semifinal – Second Leg) – New York City FC vs. Toronto FC
Venue: Yankee Stadium – Sunday, November 6 – 18:30 ET (23:30 GMT)
Match Odds: NYCFC 11/10 – Draw 5/2 – Toronto 21/10
New York City FC welcome Toronto FC to Yankee Stadium on Sunday in the second leg of their Eastern Conference Semifinal with a place in the Eastern final up for grabs.
There is a huge amount of work for Patrick Vieira's side to do if they are to progress here. They suffered a sucker-punch in the first leg, conceding twice in the last six minutes to lose the game 2-0.
New York City FC fans will be behind their team from the off, they will be expecting their star-players to step up and be counted for.
One thing NYCFC have in their favour is their home form. They have been scoring freely at Yankee Stadium, eight in their last two, and they're unbeaten in eight, winning seven.
As previously mentioned, Toronto FC have their two-goal advantage, which they wouldn't have thought of having heading into the last ten minutes in the first leg last weekend.
Greg Vanney will be expecting his side to put on a professional display and not present NYCFC with easy chances.
While Toronto don't want to be sitting back and playing a defensive game, they can expect NYCFC to come at them. They will get chances on the counter and with their strike-force it wouldn't be a surprise to see them score.
If Toronto can keep things tight in the first half New York City will become even more desperate and mistakes will inevitably come, they have to be patient and make sure they get the job done.
New York City FC to remain without both Connor Brandt and Shannon Gomez.
Toronto FC have a full fit squad ahead of the second leg.
NYCFC's last five: W/W/L/W/L
Toronto FC's last five: L/D/W/W/W
Key Stat: New York City FC have scored at least two goals in nine of their last ten home games. They will need to repeat that feat without conceding to take the tie to extra time at the very least.
Key Player: Frank Lampard – Many will suggest the spotlight is on his teammate David Villa to perform, but Lampard has always been the man for the big occasion throughout his career, scoring vital goals. He will be a huge concern for Toronto who, like Lampard's opponents throughout the last two decades, will struggle to pick him up when he is in the right place at the right time.
New York City FC 2-1 Toronto FC – Heartbreak for NYCFC who will fall at this stage. Whatever the outcome they have had a superb season and are making progress. Everything is in Toronto's favour and they should surely be able to get the job finished off here.
MLS Preview and Prediction: New York City FC vs Columbus Crew
October 21, 2016 October 21, 2016 / Lewis Addley	/ Leave a comment
Competition: Major League Soccer – New York City FC vs. Columbus Crew
Venue: Yankee Stadium – Sunday, October 23 – 16:00 ET (21:00 BST)
Match Odds: NYCFC 8/5 – Draw 3/1 – Columbus 9/2
New York City FC welcome Columbus Crew to Yankee Stadium on Decision Day in a game that can have an impact on more than just the final standings.
Patrick Vieira's side will want to win to ensure their regular season efforts get the rewards they deserve, three points will confirm their hold on second place in the East and a bye in the playoffs.
Barring a 13-goal swing NYCFC cannot finish top of the East. They will just be looking to finish the regular season on a high.
New York City come into this one having practically blown their chances of finishing top with a 3-1 defeat away to DC.
Columbus Crew have nothing to really play for in this tie. The highest they can finish in the Eastern Conference is 7th providing results go their way, so the pressure is off.
Crew will be hoping to finish the season on a high and spoil the NYCFC party. They will have the backing of both Toronto and RBNY, who will be hoping for Crew to win for their benefit.
Gregg Berhalter's side come into this one having lost 3-2 to RBNY. It was a disappointing result but they showed great effort to make a game of it, as they had been 3-0 down.
Photo: @ColumbusCrewSC
NYCFC could be without four for this tie as Connor Brandt, Shannon Gomez and Frank Lampard are all set to miss out, while Ronald Matarrita is doubtful.
Columbus Crew's injury woes continue, as Matt Pacifici, Ben Swanson, Tyson Wahl, Waylon Francis are expected to be out, while Federico Higuain, Cedrick Mabwati, Gaston Sauro and Ola Kamara are all questionable.
NYCFC's last five: L/D/W/W/L
Columbus Crew last five: W/L/W/D/L
Key Stat: New York City have won six of their last seven home games and scored at least two in eight of their last nine at Yankee Stadium.
Key Player: David Villa – The NYCFC goal machine has netted an impressive 22 in the regular season, he will be itching to beat BWP to the golden boot on the final day. He trials his rival forward by one heading into the game.
New York City FC 3-1 Columbus Crew – NYCFC to bounce back from their defeat, secure second place and finish the regular season on a high. Columbus Crew will make a good game of it, but with little to play for they will struggle to deal with the intensity Vieira's side will come at them with.

CoinMama.com is a platform that facilitates the whole process of buying and selling Bitcoins, as the leading cryptocurrency. It is located in the Virgin Islands, as you can find at the bottom of their website. There, you can read the following: "Intershore Chambers, P.O box 4342, Road Town, Tortola, BVI. Coinmama is a regulated entity registered as a Money Service Business, number 73980." Since virtual currency has become a must nowadays, it is only fair for us to treat it as a necessity and check out what companies like CoinMama are all about!
CoinMama.com is available in English, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish and German. This is certainly a great thing, as it enables people from all over the world to fully comprehend the services provided by the platform.
From their FAQ section, we quote their response as to where their services are available: "Depending on your country of residence, you may not be able to use all the functions of the site. It is your responsibility to follow those rules and laws in your country of residence and/or country from which you access this site and service. (Unfortunately due to a change in our policy we cannot currently serve US residents. We hope to be able to serve you soon though for now this is until further notice)." It is a pity that US residents cannot be served, even if this inconvenience is temporary.
As for the payment methods accepted by CoinMama, they currently accept cash and credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Western Union, MoneyGram, PM and Visa Electron).
CoinMama.com is a company from the Virgin Islands. Their company number is clearly stated on their site (73980). The site is security scanned and also GoDaddy certified. Of course, they use HTTPS and no data of your credit card is saved on their system. This means that you can expect no leak from their website regarding your personal details and login credentials.
As we have mentioned above, there is enhanced security when it comes to CoinMama, without any extremities. For instance, you will see HTTPS and a clear environment for financial transactions without any leaks.
Still, 2 factor authentication is not a must and there is the option of using cash as a payment method (which is not as reliable as using credit 3D cards). Security includes the certification of GoDaddy and the security scanned badge. In a nutshell, some improvements would be great – but even as it is now, the security layering of CoinMama is more than decent!
From the first moment you visit CoinMama.com, you are impressed by the modernity and practical nature of their site. It is fast and it includes all the information you might be in search of, promptly and effectively. Upon entering, you are expected to sign up or log in.
During your sign up process, you need to write down your email and name, as well as a password and the country where you reside. However light these details might seem, you can have a look here and see that they also require a scanned ID or utility bill. On the home page of CoinMama, you can easily see the prices of Bitcoins and see how much you will be required to pay or receive (if you wish to sell). In general, the user experience of Coinmama.com is wonderful – with the objection to their verification methods.
We go ahead with our CoinMama.com review and now the time has come for the support and availability aspect. First of all, there is the live chat option. Although it is not available 24/7, this is an indication that CoinMama is serious about any communication needs, as well as dealing with the problems of their customers. You are required to state your name and address or login using Facebook or Google+, in order to contact support.
A FAQ section is also a great place to start, if you want to find out about the way CoinMama.com services actually work. There is a reminder of these frequently asked questions at the contact option, where you can submit a ticket and get your hands on some direct, personal information from a representative of the company. Finally, if you are looking for an email alternative, you can send your inquiries at support@coinmama.com. They've got a Facebook page, but rather basic social media presence.
At last, we are ready to conclude as to the pros and cons of CoinMama.com services. Well, they are located in the Virgin Islands and this can be more convenient, as far as security and privacy issues are concerned. Apart from that, the use of both cash and credit cards as payment options for Bitcoins is certainly a plus. You can easily navigate the website of CoinMama.com and sign up for their services. You can get your hands on some truly amazing support, including the immediate feedback of Live Chat and the prompt handling of ticket submissions.
On the other hand, there is definitely some concern as to the requirement of a scanned ID or utility bill for verifying your account. Then, the unavailability of serving US residents, as it has been expressed through their FAQ section, does come with an added sense of insecurity. Of course, this is not the only company that requires such means of verification. Without the compulsory use of 2 factor authentication, this is a justifiable solution.
As a whole, CoinMama.com has got some real potential and it is necessary to improve some details, so as to make sure that this platform becomes even more competitive in the near future!
Multiple attempts to verify account all were declined. a 4 hour verification process took 4 days and is STILL pending for LEVEL 1. ID send, selfie, even a Bill was sent, still no verification. Go to Coinbase if you're looking for a quicker way to buy your coin…. they dont charge as much either.
Sorry you had a negative experience with Coinmama. Obviously, we cannot discuss the reasons for the delay in this forum but I can say that we responded to your verification requests on time and the problem each time was that you didn't send us what we requested so we couldn't verify your account.
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused and I hope you understand we have the obligation to adhere to certain standards when verifying accounts.
this website is rediculous. they are supposed to be a hassle free easy place to buy your bitcoins now i admit that the first time i purchased from them it was easy as pie. but the last 5 times has been the biggest headache ever. i cant a reply from support for days at a time. they take my money and they just dont answer i just stopped recieving the wallet confirmation email so i cant do that for them to even start processing my order i dont know why but i get email from everybody but that one email. it makes no since and its like they just dont even care they wont help me resolve the issue. it is litterally like pulling teeth when it comes to dealing with these ppl at coin mama. i say if your one of the few that they get to fast everytime then hey you cant beat it but you better hope that they dont just get in the mood to sit around and not do anything for the next three days because your money is just gonna be hung up in thin air until they decide that they feel like dealing with you.
I submitted the trade last Saturday. Money also deducted my credit card same day. Today is wednesday ,still in process. Why is it so late ?

Q: How would a transistor's hFE affect a phase shift oscillator? I have a phase shift oscillator circuit from a drum machine that I would like to reproduce as faithfully to the original as possible. My problem is that the 40 year old design uses a transistor (2N3394) that is no longer available. But... the others from the same data sheet (2N3391, 92 & 93) still are. The only difference between them is that the hFE is higher than the original.
Here is the circuit (as it is presented in the original schematic):

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
Note: I added S1 and the pulldown resistor (R11) to replace the original trigger. The output was originally fed to a summing bus, and then amplified.

The Intention: At this point, the plan is to faithfully reproduce the circuit on a breadboard (or PCB) and experiment with modification options and values without damaging the original device. I am considering a) only modifying the original drum machine; b) re-creating the drum machine with the modifications; or c) re-creating a few of the individual sounds as single units, and providing amplification for each one, rather than summing to a mono output.

So the main question is: Would replacing Q1 with a higher hFE transistor have any bearing on either the decay time, amplitude or frequency of the output?
Secondary to that is: When seeking out a replacement, what specifications, if any, have a bearing on those same parameters?

Additional Note: While composing this question, I reproduced this circuit using the Falstad Simulator, and found that even changing the hFE within the range of the original part (hFE=55-110) presented major differences in the output. But… from what I understand, the hFE can vary greatly within the given range, and is unreliable. This causes me to question the results I am seeing. If this were not the case, I would have taken the simulation result for my answer.
Here is a snapshot of the output at the C6/R9 junction:

Left: output at hFE=55. Right: output at hFE=110
The waveform result at hFE=55 seems to best represent what I hear in so far as the "sharp impact" which fades out, and also looks like the waveform image presented in the original schematic - down to the phase and number of peaks.

Schematic Source: Here is a link to  the service manual that I referenced this design from. It's difficult to read due to the low quality of the scan, but the values in my own schematic were taken from a hard copy.

A: The classic 3 section phase shift oscillator requires a voltage gain of 29 to oscillate continually. Of course you do not want continual oscillations since you need a damped sine wave out.
The Hfe of the transistor does not directly affect the voltage gain but will affect the input impedance which will affect the loss in the phase shift network and thus the Q of the resultant circuit.
Your circuit is slightly unusual in that the emitter resistor is not bypassed which should introduce negative feedback (emitter degeneration) and stabilize the circuit with respect to Hfe variations.
I'm surprised that R4 and R5 return to the emitter and not to ground - it's not immediately obvious to me what effect that has.

Let's Move! Museums & Gardens is a component of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative to raise a healthier generation of kids. Through exhibits, programs, and healthy food service, museums and gardens in all 50 states are taking action to provide fun opportunities for fitness and learning. Visits to museums and gardens are high-impact learning opportunities with the power to make a difference in children's lives and their futures. Click here for a list of participating institutions.
with us so your museum's good work supporting Let's Move! Museums & Gardens can be highlighted, too.
National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. This is a good reminder that even as your museums and gardens deliver messages about nutrition and exercise throughout the year through programs and exhibits, there are resources available to assist you.
For too many children, summer is a time of nutritional uncertainty, lost physical activity and academic atrophy. When schools are closed and school meals are suddenly unavailable, kids fall behind in reading and math, lose space to play, fall out of touch with friends and teachers, and fall into eating habits that can lead to both obesity and malnutrition.
Museums and libraries bring children together in a safe place and provide programming for kids to engage in during the summer. In addition to programs, many libraries serve meals to children in their community through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). We're hoping museums will get more involved in the Summer Food Service Program either as a site or by providing programming to Summer Meal sites.
SFSP is a federal nutrition program that provides free meals and snacks to low-income children 18 years and younger when school is not in session. The program can be operated by local government, school districts and nonprofits that are eligible to participate. An organization that participates as a sponsor in SFSP receives a federal reimbursement for meals served to children that meet U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrition guidelines.
Sponsors can operate one or multiple Summer Meal sites in any qualifying location where children congregate when school is not in session.
You can also operate SFSP as a site under an existing sponsor. Sites hand out meals to children and keep an accurate count of meals served. Sponsors work with sites to organize meals and attend to the administrative requirements of the programs.
A site qualifies as either an open or enrolled site. An open site is located in a low-income area where 50 percent or more of the children are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. The site is then open to all children in the community. An enrolled site only provides meals to children enrolled in the program. An enrolled site qualifies if it is located in a low-income area or if at least half of the children enrolled in the program are eligible for free and reduced price school meals.
Participate in a Webinar about Summer Meal Programs for Museums and Libraries: Join a webinar on April 13th at 2:00 PM Eastern Time to learn more about how your library or museum can get involved in the Summer Meals Program. Hear from museums and libraries about how they've participated with the Summer Meal Programs; get your questions answered and share ideas for ways to participate.
Become a site: Contact your state SFSP agency and ask if there is a sponsor in your area that will serve additional sites.
Tips for Developing a Successful Summer Meal Program: The Food Research & Action Center has tips for you to get started.
First Lady Michelle Obama recently announced the launch of the fifth-annual Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. The challenge invites kids ages 8-12, in collaboration with a parent or guardian, to create an original recipe that is healthy, affordable, and delicious. One winner from each U.S. state, territory, and the District of Columbia will win the opportunity to be flown to Washington, DC to attend the 2016 Kids' "State Dinner" at the White House. More information.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services recently announced the finalists for the 2016 National Medal fo r Museum and Library Service. The National Medal is the nation's highest honor given to museums and libraries for service to their communities. For 22 years, the award has celebrated institutions that demonstrate extraordinary and innovative approaches to public service and are making a difference for individuals, families, and communities.
Several of the museum finalists are part of Let's Move! Museums & Gardens. Examples of Let's Move-related programming include the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum's Family Fest which encourages families to practice healthy habits together and cooking classes at the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center for Children.
The National Medal winners will be named next month, and representatives from winning institutions will travel to Washington, D.C., to be honored in a White House ceremony. Learn more about the 2016 National Medal finalists and see the full list of museum finalists.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion recently launched MyPlate, MyWins. MyPlate, MyWins offers healthy eating solutions for everyday life. This initiative inspires Americans to make and celebrate small, practical changes or "wins" that add up to a healthy lifestyle over time.
Go to www.choosemyplate.gov/mywins for resources including tips from MyPlate nutritionists, daily food plan checklists for kids and adults, and the Super Tracker interactive food and activity tracking tool.
The educational programs have been greatly enhanced with the addition of our outdoor gardening space, which provides our children with a place where exciting and engaging discoveries and learning takes place each and every day. The children can be seen happily playing outdoors, becoming intimately acquainted with nature, and making new discoveries. The museum has developed a series of gardening projects for children of different ages.
Last year over 1,000 urban youth from Kansas City participated in the Good to Grow garden--a program that blends key plant science standards into an active, learner-centric, hands-on experience about making healthy choices concerning food and physical activity. In response to growing concerns about the health of our youth, staff developed the garden program. Students in grades three through five learn about photosynthesis and pollination, weed and seed the Fun Foods Farm, and learn about the benefits of green exercise while walking the Heartland Harvest Garden. At the end of the program, they reap the benefits from the garden by helping to create a healthy garden snack. The program is tied to Missouri State Science and Health Education Grade Level Expectations. For more information about the program, visit http://www.powellgardens.org/FieldTripGoodToGrow .
The L.C. Bates Museum's mission is to inspire wonder about our natural and cultural worlds. Children and families participate in active, healthy programs while learning about Maine's natural environment. From winter Track Tromps to summer Lady Bug Hikes, museum programs encourage healthy living. The Let's Move! Museums & Gardens project has helped focus the museum's programs on healthy living.
The L.C. Bates Museum's "Animals Eat Smart" programs engage children in observing and learning about the food chains of animals in the wild. Many of the museum's indoor/outdoor programs focus on the local biomes and their diverse animal life. For example, to inspire healthy activity and fun learning, the L.C. Bates Museum conducts trips to the pond with nets in hand for over 3,500 rural school children each year. This program includes a vigorous hike and first-hand explorations of wetland plants and animals. After observing the pond animals, children participate in a charade game that promotes movement and play as they imitate the activities and food chains of pond life. These pond investigations get kids moving and understanding healthy pond food webs and how the pond "Animals Eat Smart." The children often choose to discuss and compare the diets of the birds eating at the local fast food dumpster compared with those living and eating in a healthy pond habitat. This leads to the children evaluating how they also can eat smart like the pond animals.

Wendy Perez
Founder of See Me As Me
Wendy is a leading self-advocate, disability activist and consultant, and she runs her own organisation See Me As Me. Wendy championed and co-authored an accessible version of Keys to Citizenship with Simon Duffy to make the idea of citizenship relevant to everyone.
Wendy has been one of the leading champions for self-directed support and individual budgets. She was one of the first people with learning difficulties to get her own direct payment and also the first person to get an individual budget in her local area. She has also worked to help other people get individual budgets and develop their own support plans. In her own life she has shown how individual budgets can be used creatively to get better outcomes; for example she has used her budget to get physio through personal coaching at her local gym, making friends and a contribution to the community.
Wendy worked as a consultant for Paradigm where she trained people with disabilities and families about independent living, individual budgets and support plans. Probably the first person with learning difficulties to be employed in this kind of work. Wendy provided training for social care staff and families to help people to see that people with difficulties can have the same lives as anyone else, with or without support.
She has provided training on direct payments, involving people with learning difficulties, person-centred planning, making information accessible, developing self-advocacy, self-determination, evaluation and leadership training for people with learning difficulties. She is a determined advocate for people's rights.
Wendy has also worked for St George's Hospital. Wendy was a pioneer in training medical students to understand the needs of people with learning difficulties. Wendy was a co-author of two of the first accessible books for people with learning difficulties.
Wendy was involved in developing the government policy, Valuing People, a critical policy that introduced a human rights approach to services for people with learning difficulties and accelerated deinstitutionalisation and the personalisation of health and social care. She was a key author of The Good Practice Guide to Health and Deciding Together which are policies to help people get the right help and support.
Wendy was Chair of the local Partnership Board. Her work focused on improving health and other services for people with learning difficulties and making investments in local innovation.
Wendy is one of Britain's leading self-advocates and has co-authored a number of publications, including a chapter in Learning Disability Today, a number of books in the Books Beyond Words series, as well as being a contributor to Mencap's newsletter, Viewpoint.
Wendy lives in Hammersmith, in London. She is an avid Arsenal supporter, Mac user and has been a DJ, under the name 'Hotwheels.' Wendy is proud to live as a citizen, showing that people with disabilities can live full and positive lives, under their own control. She wants others to benefit from freedom and the keys to citizenship. She always wants to try new things.

A fellow HOLer recommended Mass Effect to me and so far I'm loving it. This took me somewhat by surprise as this is the first proper science fiction video game I've played (I tend to prefer RPGs with fantasy elements).
I'm still in the early stages of the game, but the storyline and the world-building appeal to me, not to mention the depth to the various characters' backstories. I really like how one's dialogue and squad choices seem to have more impact on gameplay than most other games. I'm still getting the hang of combat (I may have had to reload several times >>), but there's a lot more strategy to it than the average "hack and slash" RPG.
Has anyone else played the original trilogy or the latest installment Mass Effect: Andromeda?
Note: Although the first game came out more than 10 years ago, please use spoiler tags when discussing specific plot points or characters, so that those new to the franchise can still experience these first-hand.

I'm a little further into the original game since I last posted, having completed one or two of the first main quests (depending on one's perspective). I've enjoyed exploring the other planets while completing the various side-quests. I really like how each has a different landscape and there's descriptions of the various planets just before you land or survey them, as this really adds to the depth of the Mass Effect universe.
One of the things I like about this particular RPG is that you're encouraged to change your squad up depending on the mission. While Kaiden and Tali are probably my favourite squad mates -- I ended up switching to Ashley and Garrus when it came to the geth incursions. I definitely found times when I missed Kaiden/Tali, particularly because their skillset would have come in handy with decryption, but it's a balancing act really because Ashley/Garrus are better fighters. With most other RPGs I've played one tends to stick with the same team throughout, unless the storyline forces one to temporarily choose someone else to stand in for one of the characters.
My only real complaint of the game so far is that it isn't as open-world as I was initially led to believe from interacting with the various NPCs. After getting thrashed in the second/third main quest as well as being caught off-guard by a thresher maw during one of my planetary explorations, I decided to consult a walkthrough for some guidance as to where to go next, and it was just as well because with most of the side-quests you're given in the first part of the game, it is suggested one has a minimum level of 30. This isn't the most practical though, as I'm still only a level 22 at this stage, and experience isn't always the easiest to come by.
In spite of that, I'm still enjoying the game and looking forward to seeing how things pan out.

After I finally managed to reach the coveted level 30, I was able to breeze through the remaining side quests. I then was able to focus on the remaining main quests, and doing so was bittersweet. I found those to be among my favourite, but I knew it signalled that the end of the game was coming. Virmire was by far my favourite planet. I loved the crystal blue water and it was oddly relaxing despite where one was at during the storyline. I cherished the thought that the non-enemy robots moving about were frolicking about at the beach despite impending doom.
I also felt that some of the decisions I made really mattered. I knew by that point from the walkthroughs that some decisions had bearing on the rest of the trilogy, but the one of the critical decisions every player is faced with had much more of a sense of finality to it — in fact, I was so sure I'd be able to choose both options that I went the one route only to experience dread that I couldn't subsequently go the other route (and I reloaded so that I could go the latter route, but even then there was still some regret). I was comforted though that either decision garnered one the same number of Paragon points, so there was no right or wrong decision as such.
I loved the character development, primarily for Shepard, but also for the other members of one's crew (although in some cases, you had to actively guide the character development through your conversations with them). I don't think I've ever been this invested in the characters of any video game.
Another thing I really enjoyed was that the side quests all added some value to the game and one's understanding of all the external factors influencing the main events of the game (even if not directly, because whether you complete those side quests or not have very little bearing on how the storyline itself unfolds). I remember finding one of the side quests very tedious, and only much later on did I find out that what that side quest relates to, is actually such a critical component of the Mass Effect universe.
The game also had a very satisfactory conclusion (in which you also got to make some key decisions). I remember having an element of "now what?" after finishing Skyrim, which was my favourite video game before Mass Effect edged it out.
I was also seriously impressed with the amount of work the developers put into the game, which I only really came to appreciate with some of the final cut scenes — as there are so many possible permutations of it, depending on the two crew members you chose to have with you, Shepard's gender and even the armour you and your crew each wear (and possibly even other factors). I'd imagine there are ways to simplify the work on the developers' side, but it just made an awesome game that much more awesome.

I finished playing Mass Effect 2 this morning, and I have to admit, while there were some parts I liked about it, overall I was a bit disappointed. It was refreshing that things weren't as black and white as they first seemed in the original game as regards Cerberus. Some of the gameplay changes took some getting used to, but I liked that they made things more realistic as well as interactive (in the case of hacking/bypassing technology).
Shepard's nostalgia for his/her old crew was palpable. While Miranda and Jacob eventually grew on me, I really missed the likes of Kaiden and Tali. In fact, I was both relieved and pleased to run into an old crew member on the first mission, but leaving them behind once again was rather painful. I enjoyed coming across old crew members at various points in the game and seeing where they are at 'now'. I was really excited, in particular, to discover Archangel's true identity. It was interesting seeing how the various characters had tried to move on following the initial events of ME2, and the feeling of how much things had changed since then was also very tangible.
While ME2 didn't have the seeming lack of 'open worldness' that the original had, there weren't a whole lot of options in terms of side quests, and certain main quests which were seemingly optional (but not really, because they were essential to the last part of the game) only unlocked after certain points. I found the process of recruiting the various team members and completing their loyalty quests a bit repetitive, even tedious at times, even though the plots/themes differed substantially.
One thing I did enjoy though was visiting Tuchanka and learning more about the krogan as well as stopping by the quarian Migrant Fleet. I liked that new species were 'introduced', such as the drell. And learning more about Legion's species really helped put the original game into perspective.
That being said, I couldn't help but feel that ME2 serves as a filler game in between the original and final games of the trilogy. Barring some new discoveries, it didn't feel like a whole lot actually happened in ME2.

Ticagrelor reduced cardiovascular events compared with clopidogrel in PLATO without increasing overall major bleeding. We evaluated whether the use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (GPI) impacts the relative efficacy and safety of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel.PLATO randomized 18,624 subjects with acute coronary syndrome to ticagrelor versus clopidogrel. The primary efficacy end point was cardiovascular death/myocardial infarction/stroke, and the primary safety end point was major bleeding. The use of GPI was at the physician's discretion and open-label. We evaluated outcomes at 30 days stratified by GPI use in the subgroup of 9,983 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 72 hours.A total of 4,020 (40%) received a GPI. Those receiving a GPI were more likely to be younger, be male, and undergo multivessel PCI. There was no interaction between treatment and GPI use for the primary efficacy and safety end points. Patients treated without GPI had a lower rate of definite stent thrombosis and higher rate of minor/major bleeding with ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel (P < .05), whereas there was no such difference with GPI (P interaction < .05).In patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing early PCI, the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor as compared with clopidogrel were not modified by GPI use according to the primary efficacy and safety end point of the trial, although there were indications of greater benefit on definite stent thrombosis and more major or minor bleeding with ticagrelor in patients without (vs with) GPI treatment.

KAUFMAN, J.
The petitioners filed a motion to stay proceedings pending the outcome of an arbitration proceeding which was ordered pursuant to a motion to compel arbitration. The motion to stay proceedings was denied. Petitioners seek a writ of mandate. We have concluded that Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.4 required the granting of the motion to stay proceedings. Accordingly, we grant a peremptory writ.
All statutory references are to Code of Civil Procedure unless otherwise indicated.
Real party in interest, Mark Tarson (hereinafter real party), apparently purchased a beauty salon franchise from Cut Curl, Inc. and entered into a written franchise agreement for that purpose. When the franchise proved unprofitable, real party brought suit against Cut Curl alleging that he had been fraudulently induced to enter into the franchise agreement. Real party named as additional defendants in that suit Marvin W. Marcus, Don vonLiebermann, Karl Stanley, and Edie Adams (collectively referred to as petitioners). With the exception of Edie Adams, the remaining petitioners are officers of Cut Curl. The involvement of Edie Adams appears to be that she has licensed Cut Curl to use her name as part of a trade name for the beauty salon franchises sold by Cut Curl. In addition to the allegations of fraud and misrepresentation, real party alleged that Cut Curl was merely the alter ego of the individually named petitioners and he sought to impose personal liability on them for any corporate liability arising from this action.
The franchise agreement between real party and Cut Curl contained a valid arbitration clause. Cut Curl petitioned for an order compelling arbitration of the dispute pursuant to the arbitration clause (see Code Civ. Proc., § 1281.2) and for an order granting a stay of the judicial proceedings pending the outcome of the arbitration proceeding (see Code Civ. Proc., § 1281.4). Such orders were entered. At the same time, petitioners herein moved for a stay of proceedings pending the outcome of the arbitration. The trial court denied the motion and this petition for mandate followed. Originally we summarily denied petitioners' application. The Supreme Court granted hearing and retransferred the case to us with directions to issue an alternative writ. We complied.
The parties do not dispute the propriety of the order compelling arbitration between real party and defendant Cut Curl, nor do they dispute the propriety of the stay order entered on the latter's motion. What is disputed, is the propriety of the trial court's refusal to stay proceedings on motion of the petitioners pending the outcome of the arbitration proceeding.
Petitioners contend that section 1281.4 requires the proceedings to be stayed. Real party in interest urges that:
(1) Section 1281.4 is inapplicable as petitioners are not parties to the arbitration agreement;
(2) Even if section 1281.4 is applicable, legal issues are involved in the judicial proceedings and the arbitrator has no power to pass upon such issues;
(3) Severable issues exist as to petitioners, which are not subject to arbitration, and which even if determined in the arbitration proceeding would not be entitled to collateral estoppel effect;
(4) Requiring real party to await the outcome of the arbitration before proceeding against the petitioners could subject him to the risk that the five-year period within which to bring the case to trial as prescribed in section 583, subdivision (b) might expire, thus precluding his claim against petitioners altogether; and
(5) The trial court simply exercised its discretion in favor of severing certain of the issues involved in the judicial proceeding from those which are subject to arbitration, and petitioners have failed to show an abuse of such discretion.
1. Applicability of Section 1281.4
Section 1281.4 provides: "If a court of competent jurisdiction, whether in this State or not, has ordered arbitration of a controversy which is an issue involved in an action or proceeding pending before a court of this State, the court in which such action or proceeding is pending shall, upon motion of a party to such action or proceeding, stay the action or proceeding until an arbitration is had in accordance with the order to arbitrate or until such earlier time as the court specifies." (Italics added.) (1a) The clear language of the statute compels the conclusion that any party to a judicial proceeding, whether a party to an arbitration agreement or not, is entitled to a stay of those proceedings whenever (1) the arbitration of a controversy has been ordered, and (2) that controversy is also an issue involved in the pending judicial action. It is irrelevant under the statute whether the movant is a party to the arbitration agreement. As stated in Cook v. Superior Court, 240 Cal.App.2d 880, 885 [ 50 Cal.Rptr. 81], "Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.4 seems broad enough to vest the court with authority to stay `the action or proceeding' as to all issues, as to all causes of action, and as to all parties, until arbitration is concluded. . . ." (2a) Real party's contention that section 1281.4 is inapplicable is therefore without merit.
2. Arbitrator's Power to Pass Upon Legal Issues
Real party's somewhat convoluted second argument seems to be that certain legal issues are involved in the judicial action (e.g., the individual petitioners' liability for fraud, petitioners' and Cut Curl's liability for punitive damages, and the liability of petitioners on a veil piercing theory) and that the arbitrator has no power to pass upon such issues. To the extent real party is simply contending that these issues are severable from other issues which are subject to arbitration, the contention will be discussed infra. (3) However, to the extent real party is maintaining that an arbitrator cannot pass upon legal issues, as distinct from factual issues, his contention is without merit.
Section 1280, subdivision (c) defines controversy as "any question arising between parties to an agreement whether such question is one of law or of fact or both." (Italics added.) Section 1283.4 provides: "The award shall be in writing and signed by the arbitrators concurring therein. It shall include a determination of all the questions submitted to the arbitrators the decision of which is necessary in order to determine the controversy." (Italics added.) Finally, section 1286.2 which sets forth the grounds upon which an arbitration award may be vacated, makes no reference at all to "errors of law." And, in fact, pursuant to the great weight of authority in California, an error of law by an arbitrator is not a ground for vacating an award. ( State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Guleserian, 28 Cal.App.3d 397, 402 [ 104 Cal.Rptr. 683], and cases cited therein.) The entire statutory arbitration scheme is designed to give the arbitrator the broadest possible powers. Among these, clearly, is the power to pass upon legal, as distinct from factual, issues so long as they are a part of the "controversy" which is subject to arbitration.
3. Existence of Severable Issues
(2b) Real party's next argument appears to be that severable issues exist as to the petitioners since they are not signatories of the arbitration agreement and the arbitrator cannot therefore make a determination of their individual liability which will be binding upon them. Real party argues that the doctrine of collateral estoppel will not apply in a subsequent proceeding even if the arbitrator determines that Cut Curl is liable on the theories contained in real party's complaint. Neither the judgment for real party on confirmation of the award pursuant to section 1287.4, nor an express finding by the arbitrator that petitioners were acting within the course and scope of their employment when the alleged tortious acts were committed would be binding upon the petitioners as they are not parties to the arbitration proceeding. ( Bernhard v. Bank of America, 19 Cal.2d 807, 813 [ 122 P.2d 892]; Lynch v. Glass, 44 Cal.App.3d 943, 947 [ 119 Cal.Rptr. 139].)
Section 1287.4 provides: "If an award is confirmed, judgment shall be entered in conformity therewith. The judgment so entered has the same force and effect as, and is subject to all the provisions of law relating to, a judgment in a civil action; and it may be enforced like any other judgment of the court in which it is entered."
It is important to note that real party is not contending that the arbitration proceeding will not involve the issues of whether petitioners engaged in any tortious conduct and, if so, whether they were acting within the course and scope of their employment at the time. Rather, he is arguing that the resolution of these issues will not have collateral estoppel effect.
(4) Though real party cites no authority for the proposition that individual shareholders may contest corporate liability in an action based on an alter ego theory, even though a binding judgment against the corporation has previously been rendered, our research indicates that the cases do in fact support this proposition. ( Minton v. Cavaney, 56 Cal.2d 576, 581 [ 15 Cal.Rptr. 641, 364 P.2d 473]; Motores De Mexicali v. Superior Court, 51 Cal.2d 172, 176 [ 331 P.2d 1]; see, e.g., Dillard v. McKnight, 34 Cal.2d 209, 214-215 [ 209 P.2d 387, 11 A.L.R.2d 835].) (2c) The point of real party's argument appears to be that judicial economy and the expeditious resolution of controversies will not be served in this case by the entry of a stay order pending the outcome of the arbitration proceeding. In other words, a favorable judgment for real party would not prevent the relitigation of the same questions involved in the arbitration proceeding, i.e., whether the petitioners engaged in tortious conduct, if so, whether it was within the course and scope of their employment, and whether the corporation is liable therefor.
There is no conflict between the proposition stated in the text and the holding in Schoenberg v. Romike Properties, 251 Cal.App.2d 154 [ 59 Cal.Rptr. 359]. Although cited in 1A Ballantine Sterling, California Corporation Laws (4th ed. 1977) section 299.04, page 14-42, for the proposition that a joint-debtor proceeding (Code Civ. Proc., § 989 et seq.) against a nonparty shareholder on a veil piercing theory is an appropriate procedure for enforcing a judgment entered against a corporate defendant, both Ballantine and Schoenberg require more. In Schoenberg, the court expressly stated: "It is well settled that the authority of the court will be exercised to impose liability under a judgment upon the alter ego [original italics] who has had control of the [previous] litigation." (Emphasis added.) ( Schoenberg v. Romike Properties, 251 Cal.App.2d at p. 168.) This element of control of the litigation is a key concept in determining whether the doctrine of collateral estoppel can be applied against one who would otherwise be considered a nonparty to the previous litigation. (See Motores De Mexicali v. Superior Court, supra, 51 Cal.2d at p. 175; Dillard v. McKnight, supra, 34 Cal.2d at p. 216; Lynch v. Glass, supra, 44 Cal.App.3d at p. 949.)
We agree with real party's logic as far as it goes. (1b) Obviously one of the purposes of section 1281.4 is to promote the expeditious and efficient settlement of disputes and eliminate multiplicity of actions. (See, e.g., Madden v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, 17 Cal.3d 699, 714-715 [ 131 Cal.Rptr. 882, 552 P.2d 1178]; Seidman Seidman v. Wolfson, 50 Cal.App.3d 826, 835 [ 123 Cal.Rptr. 873]; Lewsadder v. Mitchum, Jones Templeton, Inc., 36 Cal.App.3d 255, 259 [ 111 Cal.Rptr. 405] .) 2d However, real party has presented but one side of the coin.
Any finding by the arbitrator that the corporation is not liable will significantly limit the issues subject to determination in a subsequent judicial action. A finding by the arbitrator that no tort was committed and therefore that no corporate liability exists would be binding on real party in a subsequent suit seeking to establish liability on the part of petitioners. ( Bernhard v. Bank of America, supra, 19 Cal.2d at p. 814; Vanguard Recording Society v. Fantasy Records, 24 Cal.App.3d 410, 417 [ 100 Cal.Rptr. 826].) Similarly, if the arbitrator determines that the corporation is not liable because the petitioners were acting outside the course and scope of their employment, a subsequent action would be necessary, but then only on the issue of petitioners' individual tortious conduct, the veil piercing theory having been mooted by the award in favor of the corporation. Thus it appears that a stay might well simplify the pending action and/or prevent multiple litigation of issues.
(5) Moreover, section 1281.4 speaks only to "a controversy which is an issue involved in an action . . . pending before a court. . . ." It states that ". . . the court . . . shall, upon motion of a party, . . . stay the action. . . ." There is no suggestion in the statute that a stay is required only if the "controversy" is one to which collateral estoppel effect will be given in a subsequent action. (2e) Here, clearly, the controversy subject to arbitration involves the questions of the tortious conduct of the individual petitioners, whether the individual petitioners were acting within the course and scope of their employment, and whether the corporation is therefore liable for their actions. Since punitive damages are sought against the corporation, this too is a controversy subject to arbitration. These questions are also issues involved in a pending court proceeding against the individual petitioners. No more is required to bring section 1281.4 into play by its very terms.
4. Mandatory Dismissal for Failure to Prosecute Within Five Years
(6) Real party's asserted fear, that the granting of a stay will subject him to the risk that the five-year period prescribed by section 583, subdivision (b) will expire, is unfounded. In determining whether the prescribed five-year period has expired, time during which it is impossible or impracticable to proceed to trial is excluded. (See, e.g., Crown Coach Corp. v. Superior Court, 8 Cal.3d 540, 547-548; esp. fn. 5 [ 105 Cal.Rptr. 339, 503 P.2d 1347]; Brunzell Constr. Co. v. Wagner, 2 Cal.3d 545, 553-554 [ 86 Cal.Rptr. 297, 468 P.2d 553]; 4 Witkin, Cal. Procedure (2d ed. 1971) Proceedings Without Trial, §§ 94, 103-106, pp. 2755, 2765-2772.) While the stay order is in effect, it will be impossible or impracticable to proceed to trial. Therefore, the five-year period cannot expire because a stay is ordered.
5. Discretionary Severance of Non-Arbitrable Issues
(7) Real party's contention that the trial court exercised its discretion to grant a stay only as to those issues which constitute the controversy subject to arbitration as provided in section 1281.4 is without merit. True, the statute says that the court may so restrict any stay order, and it has been held that the court may limit any stay to those issues subject to arbitration. ( Madden v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, supra, 17 Cal.3d at p. 714.) Yet, this is of no avail to real party. First, the trial court did not purport to deny the stay only as to severable issues. It denied the stay outright. Second, there are no severable issues, with the possible exception of the veil piercing issue. Even that issue, however, is dependent upon liability of the corporation, which issue is arbitrable.
The concluding paragraph of Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.4 reads: "If the issue which is the controversy subject to arbitration is severable, the stay may be with respect to that issue only."
Let a peremptory writ of mandate issue to the Orange County Superior Court commanding it to vacate its order denying petitioners' motion for stay of proceedings and to enter its order granting the motion. The alternative writ heretofore issued is discharged.
Gardner, P.J., and Morris, J., concurred.
