Wales v Argentina – buy 1 get 1 free tickets!
Beatrice Asprey
Welsh rugby fans can still take advantage of the buy one get one free offer to watch Wales take on the mighty Pumas at the Millennium Stadium tomorrow, with tickets available right up until kick off at 2.30pm.
Ticket outlets on Westgate Street in Cardiff will be open from 9am on Saturday and fans are advised to show up early to avoid unnecessary disappointment ahead of Wales' final home game before they fly off to New Zealand for rugby's greatest competition.
Fans can purchase individual tickets at £20 for adults and £15 for the under 18s and get the adjoining seat of the same value entirely free of charge all day today online at www.wru.co.uk/tickets via telephone on 02920 230130 or by calling into the WRU's Cardiff Arms Store.
On matchday tickets will be on sale at Cardiff Rugby Club ticket office and the Ticketline shop on Westgate Street from 9am until kick-off and ticket collections will be at the WRU's Cardiff Arms store.
Millennium Stadium Manager Gerry Toms said: "There has been record interest in this summer's home internationals and ticket sales have been busy all week following our win over England last Saturday."
"Wales v Argentina will be a great day out for families, with the traditional 2.30pm kick off time and the family-friendly ticket promotion but my advice to everyone is don't leave it too late. Whether you are collecting or purchasing tickets please do so early in the day. Do not leave it to the last minute or you may well find yourself waiting in a queue and missing the start of the game"

Director Rick Smith and Marketing Manager Chris Leadley already invested heavily in SEO, digital marketing and a responsive website.
Forbes Burton approached Shooting Star in December 2017 to improve its brand awareness locally, regionally and nationally through traditional PR services as a complement to its existing marketing activities.
The company also wanted to increase enquiries from potential clients and partners such as solicitors, accountants and independent business advisors.
Shooting Star devised a traditional PR plan to promote the company, using CSR and business-facing news items and stories as well as advice features.
We quickly established a working relationship that meant Rick and Chris were available to comment on current affairs and issues unrelated directly to insolvency. As a result, the nature of the PR services and brief changed to more spontaneous and proactive PR work. This has worked particularly well as Rick has expert advice to dispense on a variety of subjects.

After having met several PR service providers, we engaged in the services of Shooting Star in December 2017. We have found them to be very proactive, creative and open-minded. They have been successful in getting us into many publications, including local and national TV. Their PR work has contributed to a huge increase in our web and media presence and has helped us create leads into new businesses. I can highly recommend Shooting Star if you need help with your PR efforts.

Around 1590, Bailie John McMorran acquired the north and south facing tenements, and other disparate buildings, which existed and reconfigured them into a processional suite of apartments by adding east and west wings. The date of 1587 in the lintel of the west range window may or may not signify the activity of McMorran's project. Ornamental thistle motifs decorate the string course.
Above a first floor window, in the left hand corner of the courtyard, is an arched shape lintel – an eyebrow lintel. Only one of these exists in the architecture. It sits above what would have been a door. It was through this door that James VI and Anne of Denmark processed in 1598 – elevated above the common throng by a wooden gallery – towards the high hall and the banquet which awaited them there.


A process-relational buddhontology sees every moment as a moment of grasping, or prehension, that begins with an open, spacious cognizance, gathers/feels/responds to what has arisen before it, and ends in the satisfaction of its own concrescence. When the object of that satisfaction is unrecognized as what it is — as the immanent flow of desiring-production, a flow that cannot be frozen or held in place because there is nothing tangible there to hold and no one tangible to hold it — it conditions the next moment with its own sense of incomplete satisfaction.
Liberation from delusion comes with recognizing things in their true nature as the open flow of immanence shared. The full recognition of that leads spontaneously to the realization of the compassionate solidarity of all things (i.e. that we, all minded, empsyched things, all subjectivating entities, are in this together). Living in light of that recognition is wisdom.
What this means is that this moment is all that there is (for any subjectivating entity). But moments like this — the ending of a year and beginning of another (for entities like us who dwell also amid the shared abstractions of concepts like 'years' and 'then' and 'hope' and 'time' and 'us') — provide an opportunity for setting our goals, arranging our motivations, projecting our desires forward on trajectories that may take on a life of their own beneath our conscious graspings, running alongside us in the machinery of our body-mental-matter.
May we all experience the liberating insight into the true nature of things: as feelingful expressions of becoming, openings onto the beauty that ever arises, steps toward the elusive mystery that draws us onward.

An excellent expression of Whiteheadian Buddhism. Thanks.
Thanks for the appreciation, MDM.
Tim – On the dzogchen, I wasn't intending to suggest that the cognizance is "of" something in particular. (It's not exactly the same as Husserlian phenomenology…) In saying "of the moment" I only mean this insofar as "the moment" is all that there is, which is what a Whiteheadian ontology suggests. I'm trying to bridge between those two, and adding something to Whitehead's "prehensions" in the process. And you're right, what I'm suggesting is probably closer to a Zen/Chan view than any kind of Tibetan/Vajrayana view, Dzogchen included.
But I'm happy to see alternative interpretations flourish — and am of course looking forward to your take on these things in your buddhophobia book (which I can hardly wait for!). As you've pointed out (just today), buddhism isn't exactly well represented in cultural studies, and we need books like yours to break the ground somewhat. Cheers for taking it on.
Yes, there is nothing else but the present moment! Even when empsyched beings consider the past and future (in the the present). In fact this is called 'presentism' in many traditions.
'Explicit or implicit presentism, the view that only the present (the three-dimensional world at the instant 'now') exists, is the standard view on reality.' (Szirko, "Why is Time Frame-dependent in Relativity? Minkowski's spacetime as a Kantian 'condition of possibility' for relativistic calculations").

What is it about zucchini? It seems like one or two plants will feed a neighborhood. Right now I have more zucchini than I can use, so I am getting creative in how I use it.
In years past, I have made a lot of zucchini bread, cakes, and muffins, but this year I am still figuring out how to bake gluten free. So, one by one I am trying to adapt old zucchini recipes to be gluten free.
This is the first zucchini recipe I adapted to be gluten free. With a few tweaks, it worked perfectly.
I have made these several times now and my kids love them.
In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Mix dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Add grated zucchini, and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop batter into muffin pan lined with paper liners or a well greased muffin pan. Bake at 325 degrees F oven for 18-20 minutes. Makes 24 muffins.
Ok girl, I just had to say you gotta create some low fat, low cholesterol desserts for me. I did try a wonderful gluten free muffin this week on my recipe blog , but it does have a whole cup of oil for 16 muffins. But I about died becauce I don't usually allow myself the bad stuff because of my bad cholesterol!! Yikers it is good to have muffins!
I know this is definitely more like a dessert, although my kids do eat them sometimes for breakfast. I think good muffins usually have fat, that is what makes them good. 🙂 Before going gf, I did use applesauce and some other things to make muffins and other bakes goods healthier. The gf baking world had been challenging enough, so I have not yet tried to adapt them to be lower fat. I am sure I will slowly start trying that though and when I do, I will be sure to share the recipes.
I have successfully replaced some of the fat in muffins/quick breads with flax meal. 3TB flax meal=1 TB butter/oil/shortening. And use applesauce for part of the fat as well.
Personally, I like to have a few TB of butter for flavor. In this recipe, personally, I would leave out the oil altogether, replacing it with applesauce and a little flax meal, but leave the butter in. I think they will still be moist and flavorful with significantly less fat and more fiber! Just an idea.
In reply to making a recipe lower in fat: Try substituting butter with a non-butter spread like Earth Balance. It's got an amazingly buttery taste and will help with the fat and cholesterol. You might be able find it at your local grocery store. Also, it is easy to adapt soy or rice milk (or any non-dairy milk) to buttermilk: 1 cup milk sub + 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar.

Helsinki Airport Asks Flyers to Trade Privacy for Free Wi-Fi
Kasper Viita, Bloomberg
- Jul 30, 2014 10:06 am
Most flyers are willing to trade a bit of privacy for free Wi-Fi.
Helsinki's airport will be the first in the world to track passengers to within feet. The plan is being hailed as a technological breakthrough — and is drawing scrutiny from privacy advocates.
Sensors will monitor all mobile phones with Wi-Fi access turned on from parking lot to takeoff, helping to observe crowding and prevent bottlenecks at the two-terminal airport which 15 million fliers pass through a year. Passengers opting in through an application will also receive offers from shops and restaurants, as well as gate and flight information.
While the technology has clear benefits, companies must tread carefully to adopt it as such systems can be perceived as enabling the monitoring of unwary people. U.S.-based retailer Nordstrom Inc. ended a tracking test last year after suffering a backlash from disgruntled customers.
"The fact that my movements are tracked is a scarier thought than someone knowing which websites I visit," Antti Tikkanen, director of security response at software maker F- Secure Oyj, said in an phone interview. "I have a hard time believing location tracking is only left at statistics when the same technology makes so many other things possible."
Walkbase Oy, based in Espoo, Finland, is providing the indoor-positioning system for the airport. Such systems are being deployed more widely as physical shops seek to remove a disadvantage against online retailers who are more advanced in analyzing the digital traces left by customers.
The Helsinki airport operator, Finavia Oyj, won't see any personal information about the user or the device as all data stays in an aggregated form, said Tuomas Wuoti, chief executive officer of closely held Walkbase. The software also discards the unique identifiers of devices after pulling out the necessary data, he said.
About 150 white boxes the size of a Web router are set up around the airport to collect the unique identifier number called the MAC address from devices searching for Wi-Fi networks. They then scramble the information and send it onward to servers.
"We're looking at great paybacks from this investment," Heikki Koski, vice president in charge of new services at Finavia, said in an interview. "We can manage the airport better, we can predict where bottlenecks might come and analyze everything more thoroughly."
Privacy concerns mean earning passengers' trust is "extremely important" to Finavia and the anonymous monitoring respects customers' privacy, Koski said.
Citing experience from retailers and initial trials at the airport, Walkbase expects about 60 to 70 percent of people to leave their Wi-Fi access on, making predictive analytics possible.
"It's not that interesting to know whether there are 100 or 150 people somewhere," Wuoti said in an interview at the airport as afternoon traffic was steadily picking up pace. "What's interesting is to understand will it be congested."
While similar systems are used at parts of other airports, Helsinki will be the first one with full pinpoint coverage throughout its premises, Wuoti said.
The initial tracking system is in place, and the airport is adding the capability for marketing messages to people who opt in via their application of choice, such as that of an airline or retailer. The airport has 35 shops, including fashion, electronics and food stores, and 32 restaurants and cafes.
The complete system, in place by the end of the year, may allow a delicacy shop to alert those walking by about a reindeer jerky offer or tell a traveler to Tokyo that there's just enough time for sushi before she needs to start walking to the gate.
"When people are coming in they might be newcomers to the airport," Koski said. "It's good to know you have that extra 15 minutes to look for something for your spouse or your family."

Once a reality star, always a reality star. Nick Lachey was first a cute guy in a pop singing band. But what really made him famous was the marriage with blonde beauty Jessica Simpson which had its doors open for the public. Now, after breaking up with Simpson because of too much broadcasting their private life, he is getting married with fiancée Vanessa Minnillo on TV again: their wedding will air on TLC, Access Hollywood reports.
In 2002, Nick Lachey was marrying Jessica Simpson on MTV in a special called "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica." And now, almost 9 years later, the same Nick marries Vanessa Minillo on TLC. The network representatives announced on Tuesday that the couple's nuptials will air under the title "Nick & Vanessa's Dream Wedding".
The network hasn't yet set an airing date, but it's only a few weeks away from the couple's ceremony. However, E! online suggests that the couple could be tying the knot even sooner: this weekend.
Nick and Vanessa stated that the special is their way of sending the fan their appreciation: "We're lucky to have such passionate and loving fans", they first said "and we thought partnering with TLC on this special would be the best way to share the exciting journey we're on with all the people that support us and our relationship" the two added.
The special will not only include the wedding, but also some of the event preparation. Fans will have the chance to join Vanessa in her search of the perfect bride dress and will also be a part of the exciting wedding shower.
Amy Winter, general manager of TLC says that "Nick and Vanessa are today's 'it' couple and the excitement for their wedding keeps building" and is sure that the fans will love sharing the special moments with the two lovebirds.
Nick Lachey, 37, and Vanessa Minnillo, 30, have been dating for about four years before announcing their engagement. Nick proposed to her in November 2010 making, according to his statement "the greatest romantic effort ever".
Nice sense of hypocrisy there.

Nice is, like all the French Alps, in an active sismic area. The risk in the city is rated 3 on a scale of four. Noone can foresee earthquakes, neither their dates, nor their magnitude.
It is measured with the Richter scale. One point more means an amplitude 10 times higher. In Nice, the last earthquake which caused a lot of damages occured 150 years ago with a magnitude of 6.5 causing damages rated VII-VIII in the MSK scale (which measures the damages, not the magnitude). This 1887 earthquake who was centered in Italy had caused a tidal wave more than 2m high. That's 500 times below what happened in japan in 2011. It killed more than 600 people nonetheless.
In the past, the region had suffered from earthquakes causing more important damages (IX-X on the MSK scale), such as the earthquake which emptied Roccasparviera.
The problem in Nice is that many, not to say most of the buildings are not earthquakeproof, unlike Japanese buildings for exemple.
Most of the earthquakes here are completely unnoticed by the population. Once in a while a magnitude 4 seism shakes the ground, making the headlines in the local newspapers, but no damage.
Don't worry about earthquakes if you come in our region. The big one may happen any time, but it is likely to be much smoother than the Californian one.
To know the activity of the last 15 days in France.
What to do during an earthquake…
In a building
Stay far from the windows which may explode.
Find a shelter under a furniture or at the corner between 2 structural walls
In the street
Stay away from buidings
In a car
Pull over and do not get off before the earthquake is over
What to do after the first tremors…
Listen to the radio (France Inter 100.2 FM)
Shut down water, gaz and electricity
Keep with you essential items : medicines, papers, bottles of water, warm clothes...
Exit the building using the stairs, being cautious because objects might fall. NEVER use the lifts!
In case you're buried, make noise hitting walls and pipes.
Move away from buidings and head towards an isolated place.
What not to do during an earthquake…
Run during the tremor
Smoke (risk of gas leak and explosion)
Stay under power lines or what might collapse : bridges, roofs, balconies...
Touch the power lines on the ground.
What not to do after the first tremors…
Ina building
Use a lift
Phone (let the network available for the rescue teams, gas leak...)
Enter a damaged building to find people or fetch things.
There is a number you can call in any case anywhere in Europe (and at least in France) if you are in an emergency, whether be it a fire, a police emergency or a medical one. This number is 112.
According to your situation, the operator will forward your call to the right person.
You may be in touch with someone who doesn't speak english. But they will find someone who does when possible, especially if you use the 112.
Phone in case of emergencies : 17 or 112 from a cell phone
To file a complaint 24H a day, every day:
Commissariat Central
Call 18 or 112 from a cell phone.
Firemen 18 (they have ambulances and can take you fast to the hospital, if need be).
SAMU 15 (these are ambulances with doctors, coming from the hospital)
or 112..
Emergencies service of the University hospital open 24H a day, every day:
(expect to wait a long time if your situation is not really serious.) BEWARE : this service was moved in July 2015 from the St Roch hospital to the Pasteur hospital. That's much farther from the city center.
To go there: streetcar's final stop "Pasteur" or buses T28/04/20/25
Hôpital PASTEUR 2
30 Voie Romaine
Other useful numbers:

Properties of HPV-positive and HPV-negative anal carcinomas.
Williams GR., Lu QL., Love SB., Talbot IC., Northover JM.
Evidence of human papillomavirus (HPV) can be found in up to 85 per cent of anal carcinomas. In the vulva, a discrete subset of HPV-positive carcinomas which show koilocytic morphology and distinct clinical features has recently been identified (warty carcinoma). The morphological and prognostic features of HPV-positive and HPV-negative anal carcinomas were compared in this study of the tumour distribution of HPV DNA. Vulval and anal neoplasia are similar in many ways and we have also looked to see if their similarity extends to 'warty' morphology in relation to HPV status. Thirty-five resection specimens of anal carcinoma were examined with biotin-labelled probes for HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 DNA, using a non-isotopic in situ hybridization (ISH) technique. No tumour was found to contain HPV 6, 11, or 18. Twenty-four (72 per cent) showed positivity for HPV 16 DNA. Staining was homogeneous and independent of local squamous, basaloid, or ductal differentiation. The majority of tumours showed staining suggestive of episomal, non-productive HPV infection. HPV-positive tumours were more likely to occur in the anal canal than perianally and to show a mixed squamous and basaloid appearance. No difference between the two groups was found in patient age, presence of adjacent dysplasia, ductal differentiation, or prognosis. There was no correlation between condylomatous tumour morphology and HPV 16 DNA positivity; thus, a subset equivalent to vulval warty carcinoma could not be identified.

Former ASU player goes to the Super Bowl
Andrew Clausen
January 24, 2013|110 Views
Most noted for his fumble-recovery touchdown against Delawere in the 2007 NCAA National Championship game, former linemen for Appalachian State University Daniel Kilgore is now playing in Super Bowl XLVII. Drafted in 2011 by the San Francisco 49ers, he is now a top reserve offensive guard and will face veteran linebacker Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens for the championship game.
The Appalachian: Why did you choose Appalachian State coming from Tennessee?
Daniel Kilgore: "They had just won their first championship and it wasn't too far away. I got up there and hung around some of the guys and it just felt like a place where I needed to be. When you go there, you're a part of the Appalachian family. They keep it in-house, the coaches and everything. It's always awesome to keep everything close-knit and that's what drew me to it. It's a special place. People always say 'If you ever leave Boone, you always want to come back,' and it's home. That's what drew me to going to school there, just that home feeling."
TA: What was your most memorable experience at Appalachian?
DK: "Definitely the 2007 season. Just starting out the season beating Michigan. That whole season was pretty awesome and memorable."
TA: How does collegiate football compare to the NFL?
DK: "Definitely the speed and size of the players are different. There are a lot of players that don't realize the amount of information that they give you and being able to retain all the information. It's a lot of work that goes into a game plan for each and every week. This is game 23 for us, counting preseason and all of postseason, so it's a long season. So I think the mental toughness is the biggest difference from college to the NFL."
TA: How did your time at Appalachian prepare you for the NFL?
DK: "I never really had [anyone who] pushed me to say 'hey you have a real opportunity to play in the NFL' up until my last season. If I had known the whole time I was going to go into the NFL, like a lot of people do, I think I would have done a few things differently. The biggest things are how to take care of what things need to get done, the amount of time that goes into winning football games and actually handling pressure and being on the big stage. It prepares you to go out there and win big pressure games, you always have those big games and Appalachian was always in the playoffs. That mentally prepared me to be able to handle bigger games."
TA: You've played on the big stage before in the NCAA National Championship game in 2007, does that effect your preparation for the Super Bowl at all?
DK: "There's no comparison. You're playing in the game that is the most watched game in the world. You're probably in the game that every kid and coach has always dreamed of playing in. There's no way you can compare it. Growing up you didn't always say 'I want to play in a national championship for Appalachian State.' As a kid you're like 'I want to play in the Super Bowl, I've always dreamed about playing in a Super Bowl.' Playing in a national championship was awesome, don't get me wrong, it was an unbelievable experience, but actually playing in a Super Bowl… it's unbelievable, and knowing that we're going to go down there and take care of business."
TA: Almost like déjà vu, in the championship game in 2007, you played against the University of Delaware where Joe Flacco happened to be quarterback. Does that help your team's preparation at all or is it already in the mix?
DK: "[Flacco's] a much different player from where he was. He's a great quarterback and he was a great quarterback in college. And when he was in Delaware we had a great defense, we got out and pressured him all night, intercepted a couple of his balls, and now he's got to deal with the same thing. We have an outstanding defense and our defensive line is unbelievable. Against the run, they do a great job getting pressure from the linebackers and then you won't find a better secondary in the NFL. Not much has changed as far as him being in a pressure game versus great defenses."
TA: What was your fondest memory of the former head coach Jerry Moore and staff?
DK: "The first time I ever came to Boone, the team was practicing and I was in high school and it was freezing cold outside. Coach Moore greeted me when I got to Boone and I sat there in the freezing cold while they practiced. Then a couple weeks later I go back to visit, for an official visit, and sat down and had a great talk with them and they offered me a full scholarship. Sitting there that night with coach Moore and talking with him and my mother was there and giving him my commitment to Appalachian State saying, 'I want to come play for you.' I'm so thankful for what he did for me and my family in giving me a scholarship. Coach Moore and I have talked numerous times. For what he's done for that program and for what he did for that community and the men and women who had any part with that program or with that school, it's unbelievable and we're forever in debt for what he's done for that school."
TA: What would your advice be for any Appalachian student-athlete who wants to go pro or simply has the aspiration to do so?
DK: "Don't ever take your days at Appalachian for granted. You're always going to face adversity in your training, in your games and in your career, but always just keep pushing. That's the biggest thing for me. I was never a three or four time all-American from Appalachian, I didn't win a Jacobs Blocking Trophy at App, I was always the one who overworked and, to me, through my career I went through so much and, before my senior year [we] went through the coaching change on the offensive line. You just got to keep working and push through everything and everything will play out in the end."

Rats like bird feeders for the same reason as birds, raccoons and squirrels: they're an easy source of food.

Fortey is on Hawaii to investigate how life colonises a newly-born island. The most remote island group in the world, by some estimates only one new species successfully colonised Hawaii every 35,000 years - yet the Hawaiian Islands teem with a great diversity of life. In search of the evolutionary secrets of how one species becomes many, Fortey encounters beautiful honeycreeper birds whose evolution rivals that of the Darwin's famous finches; carnivorous caterpillars who now can't eat leaves; and giant silversword plants that thrive in parched volcanic soil at 10,000 feet.

Violation: the Israeli Occupation begins the construction of the northern and western sections of the segregation wall in Jubara, Southern TulKarm.
Victims: residents of Al Ras and Jubara.
On May 22, 2011, Israeli dozers began a large scale plowing campaign in the north western and western parts of Jubara village for the construction of the segregation wall. The construction of this section was approved by the Israeli Supreme Court in 2007 after an appeal was put in place by the residents of Jbara in 2002, demanding the dismantle of the wall.
The Court ordered the stoppage of construction in the eastern side of the village and replacing that part with another one to the west of the village, isolating it from lands occupied in 1948. In 2008, Jubara village council received a military order, numbered T/90/04 and signed by the Israeli Army Higher Commander in the West Bank, informing the council of the confiscation of 587 dunums alongside 700 m2 from western Jubara for the placement of the wall.
1. Destroying 587 dunums of agricultural lands for the purpose of construction; in addition to 150 dunums already destroyed while placing other sections earlier.
2. Damaging the income of more than 50 Palestinian families who were dependant on working inside the green line or others who depended on farming in their livings.
Khirbet Jubara is located 6 km to the south west of Tulkarem city and east of at Taybah town inside the green line. Its population mounts to 350, 80 % of them belong to the nearby ar Ras village and the remaining 20 % to at Taybah town and Far'un village. 95% of Jubara population was dependant on farming and chicken farming before 2002, before the construction of the wall.
According to the Palestinian MoA, it used to hold around 1,000,000 chickens in 78 chicken farms. In addition, it used to have 100 dunums planted with 'protected species'. It must be noted that 90% of the village lands are registered under parcel 2 of the nearby Al Ras village; the rest is registered under Far'un. The Israelis have recognized the village as an independent entity in August, 2006.

5th Circuit stands alone on degree of disability
After winning summary judgment in the trial court, plaintiff Linda Ellis suffered a crushing defeat in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which rejected her claim for disability coverage. Ellis v. Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston, 2004 U.S.App.LEXIS 24199 (5th Cir., Nov. 19).
Ellis was a loan officer for Chase Manhattan Bank until 1999, when she became disabled on account of fibromyalgia. She was initially approved to receive short-term disability benefits; and long-term disability coverage also was approved; however, at the end of 2000, benefits were terminated based on an alleged absence of objective medical findings supporting disability. After a pre-suit appeal, Ellis filed suit in state court; and Liberty removed the case to federal court, subsequently obtaining dismissal of claims brought under Texas law for violations of the state insurance code, breach of contract and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing.
However, after considering cross-motions for summary judgment, the trial court found in favor of the plaintiff. Applying a deferential standard of review to the underlying claim, modified by a sliding scale due to Liberty's inherent conflict of interest, and a de novo standard of appellate review to the court's grant of summary judgment, the 5th Circuit reversed.
The definition of ''disability'' under the policy is that benefits are payable to an employee who is ''unable to perform all of the material and substantial duties of his occupation on an active employment basis because of an injury or sickness.'' The District Court interpreted the provision to mean the claimant is eligible to receive benefits if she ''could not perform any one of the material duties of her occupation.''
The appeals court found error in that determination, ruling: ''We interpret 'unable to perform all' as synonymous with 'not able to perform every.' In other words, 'unable' is synonymous with 'not able,' and 'all' is synonymous with 'every.' Applying the Wildbur methodology, we hold that Liberty gave a legally correct interpretation to this provision of the plan.''
In evaluating whether Liberty gave a uniform interpretation of the plan, the court disregarded the deposition testimony of Liberty's litigation manager:
Q: Under that definition, if Ms. Ellis could not perform one of the material duties of her occupation, she would be disabled?
A subsequent affidavit, however, explained that the witness was confused at the deposition and that Liberty had consistently interpreted the provision to mean unable to perform all duties. The corrected testimony was buttressed by other Liberty personnel who furnished depositions stating that Liberty applied the ''unable to perform all duties'' definition.
Thus, the appeals court determined: ''We conclude that in the context of the policy as a whole, a fair reading of the term 'unable to perform all' is that Ellis is not disabled for purposes of LTD [long-term disability] if she can perform 'at least one' of the material and substantial duties of her occupation. Ellis' proffered interpretation, that she is disabled if she cannot perform one ('any one') of the material and substantial duties of her occupation i.e., 'unable to perform all' means 'not able to perform any one' cannot be squared with the policy's language.''
As further support for its conclusion, the court pointed to the provisions of the policy applicable to ''partial disability,'' and stated that an interpretation consistent with Ellis' argument would negate the provisions for partial disability.
The court then addressed the following argument:
''Ellis attempts to counter by asserting that Liberty's interpretation is legally incorrect because 'under this contorted interpretation, virtually no person could ever satisfy the definition of ''disability.'' ' Ellis offers the example of a secretary who is rendered paraplegic, contending that this employee would not be disabled under Liberty's interpretation if she could sit at her desk in a wheelchair and answer a speaker phone.
''Ellis' argument ignores, however, the two adjectives that modify 'duties' 'material and substantial.' Merely because a disabled employee can perform a minor, collateral duty of his job, e.g., answering a speaker phone, would not justify the plan administrator's considering such an employee ineligible for benefits under Liberty's interpretation of the LTD policy. In such a situation, the disabled employee would be disabled under Liberty's interpretation, despite his ability to perform minor duties, as long as he could not was 'unable to' perform any of the material and substantial duties of his occupation.
''We conclude that Ellis would have to demonstrate that she cannot perform 'every single' or 'each and every' 'material and substantial duty of her occupation' which she could not prove to obtain LTD benefits.''
The next significant issue the court addressed was whether a higher standard of proof existed to terminate benefits once the claim was initially approved, meaning whether a substantial change in medical condition occurred.
The appeals court ruled such proof was unnecessary and held:
''We disagree with the District Court's view of the applicable law. We have found no statutory, regulatory or jurisprudential authority and neither Ellis nor the District Court has cited any to us that would heighten the level of the proof needed for a plan administrator to determine entitlement or non-entitlement to LTD benefits simply because the administrator previously had approved entitlement and paid benefits to the employee in question. The District Court committed legal error when it concluded that, once the administrator approves entitlement to LTD benefits, subsequent termination of those benefits would have to be supported by substantial evidence of a change in the employee's condition.
''We have never articulated such an evidentiary distinction or imposed such a requirement on the plan administrator: All that ERISA requires is that substantial evidence support a plan administrator's benefits decision whether it be to deny benefits initially or to terminate benefits previously granted when, as here, the plan administrator is vested with the discretion to determine, inter alia, both initial and continued eligibility for benefits. In the investigation that continued following its initial grant of LTD benefits to Ellis, Liberty acquired subsequent medical evidence that supported termination of her LTD benefits months after it had approved Ellis' entitlement to them on the basis of the evidence that it had before it at that time.''
Consequently, the court ruled: ''We hold that when a plan administrator initially determines that a covered employee is eligible for benefits and later determines that the employee is not, or has ceased to be, eligible for those benefits by virtue of additional medical information received, the plan administrator is not required to obtain proof that a substantial change in the LTD recipient's medical condition occurred after the initial determination of eligibility.''
The court also engaged in an extensive discussion of preemption of state law claims, holding that the claims brought under Texas law, including claims under the insurance code relating to unfair claims practices or insurance bad faith, were preempted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The court found that the laws failed to meet the test of Kentucky Association of Health Plans v. Miller, in that the risk pooling arrangement between insurer and insured was unaffected.
Interestingly, Judge Charles W. Pickering Sr., who sits on the 5th Circuit pursuant to a recess appointment made by President Bush after the nomination stalled in the Senate, issued a stinging dissent. Pickering recognized that while the interpretation that disability requires the inability to perform every duty is a plausible reading of the policy, he finds the definition ambiguous and susceptible to more than one reading; therefore, it should be interpreted in a way that favors the insured.
The dissent gives the example of a job that has 10 material duties, but the claimant cannot engage in six of the duties - by definition that employee is ''unable to perform all of the material and substantial duties of the occupation.'' (Emphasis in original.) The dissent also took issue with the majority's conclusion that once benefits are approved, they can be terminated ''without demonstrating that [the] initial decision was erroneous or without substantial evidence of a change in the claimant's medical condition.''
That fits with the requirements of the ERISA law, and Liberty's conflicted role, which the court described as follows: ''If Liberty pays a claim it is not unreasonable to infer that every penny of the claim comes directly out of Liberty's coffers. Any argument that the administrator did not have a direct and total, or almost total conflict of interest in this situation is to ignore reality. The fox guarding the chicken house is not entitled to great deference. Thus, in analyzing the administrator's decision to terminate benefits, I would give little deference to the administrator's exercise of discretion.''
Pickering added: ''It is undisputed that the administrator initially determined that Ellis was entitled to disability benefits based on the medical evidence, and later reaffirmed that fact in the letter of termination. I would hold as a matter of law, that once the administrator determined Ellis was entitled to disability benefits, a subsequent termination of those benefits would be an 'arbitrary and capricious' decision by the administrator, and hence an abuse of discretion, unless there is substantial evidence to support either (1) that the initial decision to grant benefits was incorrect; or (2) that there has been a change in condition that would justify the termination of benefits. Once the administrator has exercised its discretion and determined that a claimant is entitled to benefits, a later decision to terminate those vested disability benefits without justification is by definition arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion. See Meditrust Financial Services v. Sterling Chemicals, 168 F.3d 211, 215 (5th Cir. 1999) (holding that administrator's decision is arbitrary if made without rational connection between known facts and the decision or between found facts and the evidence).''
Because Liberty acknowledged the correctness of the initial approval of benefits and never asserted that decision was wrong, Pickering noted, ''The question then becomes whether there was a change in condition that would justify the later termination of benefits. The majority opinion fails to answer this question.''
The problem with the majority's decision is that it is completely disconnected from 5th Circuit - or any other federal court - precedent that clearly addresses the issues presented. Although both Gallagher v. Reliance Standard Life Insurance Co., 305 F.3d 264 (4th Cir. 2002), and Carr v. Reliance Standard Life Insurance Co., 363 F.3d 604 (6th Cir. 2004), reached the same conclusion that the insured would have to be unable to perform all duties of her occupation to qualify for benefits, the 5th Circuit's ruling in Lain v. Unum Life Insurance Co., 279 F.3d 337 (5th Cir. 2002), held that when the insured is incapable of performing any material job duty under an ''own occupation'' definition of disability, benefits are properly paid. The 7th Circuit's discussion of the issue in McFarland v. General American Life Insurance Co., 149 F.3d 583 (7th Cir. 1998), also supports a conclusion that the inability to perform any material job duty can meet the definition of total disability in a disability insurance policy.
However, Lain, which is not cited at all in Ellis, is even more relevant since in that case, just as in Ellis, the insurer's own witness explained that the insurer interpreted the policy to mean that the insured's inability to perform a material job duty means that individual is incapable of engaging in their regular occupation and benefits are due. Allowing Liberty to contradict its own deposition testimony in that regard and still prevail on summary judgment is so contrary to well-established federal guidelines, that it was shocking to see the 5th Circuit allow it.
A recent 7th Circuit ruling, relying on a Supreme Court decision, held in that regard: ''Affidavits, though signed under oath by the affiant, are typically and here written by the affiant's lawyer, and when offered to contradict the affiant's deposition are so lacking in credibility as to be entitled to zero weight in summary judgment proceedings unless the affiant gives a plausible explanation for the discrepancy. Cleveland v. Policy Management Systems Corp., 526 U.S. 795, 806-07, 143 L.Ed.2d 966, 119 S.Ct. 1597 (1999); Russell v. Acme-Evans Co., 51 F.3d 64, 67-68 (7th Cir. 1995); Hackman v. Valley Fair, 932 F.2d 239, 241 (3d Cir. 1991).'' Beckel v. Wal-Mart Associates, 301 F.3d 621, 623 (7th Cir., 2002).
Nor is Liberty's self-serving testimony credible since it is contrary to nearly a century of contrary court rulings.
The weight of authority holds: ''Provisions in a disability policy requiring that the insured be unable to perform every duty pertaining to his or her occupation must be given a liberal construction. For example, clauses which relate to the occupation to be considered in determining whether the insured is entitled to benefits will not be liberally construed or applied where, to do so, would make recovery of benefits unreasonably impossible in all or practically all cases. Thus, the duties of an insured's occupation must be viewed as a whole and not separately or in piecemeal.'' L. Russ and T. Segalla, Couch on Insurance 3d, section 147:106 at 147-138.
This statement illustrates the fundamental error in the 5th Circuit's determination - it renders Liberty's coverage illusory since virtually no one can meet the standard. Couch refers to a ''substantial performance test'' as meaning that benefits may be recovered when ''the insured is incapacitated from performing any substantial part of his or her ordinary duties.'' Id. at section 147:107. Under that standard, Ellis was entitled to benefits as the District Court properly held.
Other cases on this issue are collected by the American Law Reports. See ''Insurance: 'Total Disability' or the Like as Referring to Inability to Work in Usual Occupation or in Other Occupations,'' 21 ALR 3d 1155, citing Elmore v. Southern Security Co., 209 Iowa 872, 224 N.W. 32 (1929), which construed almost exactly the same language as in this case to allow recovery if the insured ''is prevented from following his particular business or occupation.'' 21 ALR 3d at 1201; see also, Fidelity & C. Co. v. Bynum, 221 Ky. 450, 298 S.W. 1080 (1927). 21 ALR 3d at 1202. Similar rulings are cited in the current supplement to the ALR; e.g., Cassady v. United Insurance Co., 370 F.Supp. 388 (D. Ark.).
The appeals court's explanation that acceptance of the District Court's determination would negate the partial disability clause is also extremely misleading. The definition of the application of that clause in the Liberty policy was only partially quoted - undoubtedly, for the partial disability clause to be applicable, the insured must actually be working, otherwise there would be no means of calculating the benefit due.
Indeed, quite the contrary from what the 5th Circuit held, the 9th Circuit, in Saffle v. Sierra Pacific Power Company Bargaining Unit Long Term Disability Plan, 85 F.3d 455 (9th Cir. 1996), rejected the conclusion reached by Ellis, and explained:
''This construction is inconsistent with the plain language of the plan, and is inconsistent with the plan's two-tiered disability structure because it collapses the threshold for occupational disability into the standard for general, or permanent disability. Total (occupational) disability has to do with the inability to perform a regular occupation for two years and 180 days; total (general) disability by contrast has to do with the inability thereafter to engage in any occupation for which the participant is reasonably fitted.'' 85 F.3d at 459.
In dissenting, Pickering also was correct in disagreeing with the majority with respect to the benefit termination in the absence of new evidence that would change the initial decision. The court's statement that it could find no authorities in that regard meant it did not look hard enough.
Relevant precedents include McOsker v. Paul Revere Life Insurance Co., 279 F.3d 586 (8th Cir. 2002), which points out that when an insurer pays disability benefits for several years, the following principle applies: ''We are not suggesting that paying benefits operates forever as an estoppel so that an insurer can never change its mind; but unless information available to an insurer alters in some significant way, the previous payment of benefits is a circumstance that must weigh against the propriety of an insurer's decision to discontinue benefits.'' 279 F.3d at 589.
From that proposition, the court concluded, ''We have recently had occasion to remark that in determining whether an insurer has properly terminated benefits that it initially undertook to pay out, it is important to focus on the events that occurred between the conclusion that benefits were owing and the decision to terminate them. See Walke v. Group Long Term Disability Insurance, 256 F.3d 835, 840 (8th Cir. 2001).'' 279 F.3d at 590. Also see, Levinson v. Reliance Standard, 245 F.3d 1321 (11th Cir. 2001), which places the burden of proof on the insurer to establish medical improvement sufficient to allow a return to work. Thus, this is a ruling that should be reconsidered.

"Baby You're Dynamite" is a song performed by Cliff Richard and was released as a single in early 1984 in the UK. The song is written by Doug Flett and Guy Fletcher. It first appeared on Richard's 1983 album Silver and in the UK became the third single lifted from the album. During the single's 6-week run on UK Singles Chart, with "Ocean Deep" as the B-side, it peaked at number 27.

In some markets such as Germany, Australia and The Netherlands, the song was the second single lifted from the Silver album. This single was released in late 1983 and had a different B-side, "Back in Vaudeville", a non-album track.

Reversal of A and B-sides

Shortly after the single's original release, fans lobbied the record company to release the B-side, "Ocean Deep" as the A-side. Several disc-jockeys also insisted on playing "Ocean Deep" instead of the A-side. This eventually mounted enough pressure on EMI Records to release "Ocean Deep" as the A-side. A new picture cover was created for the single, but the release simply reused the same catalogue number and relegated an extended mix of "Baby You're Dynamite" to the B-side.

"Ocean Deep" entered the chart at number 72 in May, three weeks after "Baby You're Dynamite" had left the chart, but climbed no further in its three remaining weeks in the top 100.

Art D'Elke presents...
Student Show at "John Fielder's Colorado" Gallery - December 7, 2012 through January 26, 2013
Paradise Reflection by Glenn Sackett
Professional and amateur landscape photographers who have been participants in a John Fielder Photography Workshop in scenic locations ranging from Colorado to Hawaii over the past 12 years are featured in a Workshop Students Exhibition at Fielder's gallery located at 833 Santa Fe Drive in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe. The show opens on First Friday, December 7.
Eighteen photographers were selected from a call for entry that was juried by the staff of Fielder's gallery, all of whom are photographers themselves. Featured in the show which runs from December 7, 2012 through January 26, 2013, are Evan Anderman, Jeanette Azar, Doyle Brewer, Mary Carley, Bo Cheatham, Chris Cillian, Johanna Clifford, Anne Cook, Jim Donlon, Bryan Kean, Cari Linden, Deb Olson, Robin Riddle, Brett Rodewald, Glenn Sackett, Frank Sueberling, Keith Wallin and Ron West. Each of the selected images have been matted and framed at the gallery and all are for sale with 100% of the proceeds going to the photographers.
An Artists Reception hosted by Fielder is scheduled for Saturday, January 19, from 2 to 5 p.m., when gallery guests can meet the photographers and find out what it's like to take a workshop with Fielder. They may also vote for "Best in Show" in a People's Choice contest which continues through the run of the exhibition.
The schedule of 2013 workshops where students can learn -- directly from Fielder -- how to take beautiful landscape photographs begins with winter photography in Steamboat Springs in March, and continues with whitewater rafting and camping on the Gunnison River in May, spring scenery in Summit County in June, wildflowers in Crested Butte in July and wraps up with fall colors in Telluride in October. An April workshop in Costa Rica is on the drawing board.
The Bohemian Spirit - November 14 through December 31, 2012
The Bohemian Spirit is Alive at Paris on the Platte by Art D'Elke
Now showing through December 31, "The Bohemian Spirit," a juried exhibition of 2-dimensional artwork celebrates a lifestyle free of convention, rules and regulations. The exhibition venue is Paris on the Platte, 1553 Platte Street, a LoDo coffee house, bar and music scene that, for 26 years, has been host to free thinkers and avant garde artists who find a sense of connection there. Unleashing their bohemian essences for this exhibition are artists Leslie Aguillard, Courtney Cotton, Catherine M. Dutcher, Victoria Eubanks, Lynn Feiger, Amy Gordon, Matt Hardwick, Christy Lynne Harris, Gina Harris, Leah Hendricks, Paula Hudson, Hugh Keating, Gwen Marie, Elke McGuire, Catherine Pistone, Patty Ramey, Vija Rogozina, Elizabeth Rouland, Marla Sullivan and Phyllis Utter. Two artists' receptions are scheduled during the run of the show: Friday, November 16, from 5 to 7 p.m. and Thursday, December 13, also from 5 to 7 p.m.
Colorful New Works by Milt Denny - October 12 and 13, 2012
Apres by Milt Denny
Painter Milt Denny unveils colorful new works in celebration of the grand opening of his Wazee Union studio in the RiNo Art District at an open house on Friday and Saturday, October 12 and 13. Milt's new paint-behind-acrylic works are featured at studio pricing during a preview on Friday from 4 to 6 pm and again on Saturday during RiNo's Second Saturday festivities from 3 to 11 pm, when there will be a drawing to win one of Milt's paintings. On both days, Milt will demo his paint-behind-acrylic technique.
The offbeat Wazee Union, located at 3501 Wazee, just off Brighton Boulevard, is one of RiNo's funkiest creative communities. The building is a former manufacturing plant that, in its various incarnations, has been a warehouse, a glass bottle manufacturing facility and, during wartime, a staging place to move supplies onto railroad cars. Redeveloped by the Space Creators, Wazee Union houses 61 studios and is home to more than 100 people working in the creative arts.
People Connect at Paris on the Platte - October 5 through November 10, 2012
Blue Light Special by Daryl Price
Creative people have been connecting with one another at Paris on the Platte throughout its 26 year reign as Denver's 'best old coffeehouse,' a tradition that has inspired a group show featuring five Colorado artists who celebrate the connections. Strategically placed on the walls of the LoDo institution's café, bar and live music venue, an exhibition of two- and three-dimensional works ranges from the lighthearted to the intense. They reflect the young artists, musicians, poets and creative thinkers who, since 1986, have been sharing fevered dreams and discussing ideas long into the night, upending bottomless cups of coffee at a joint that's open until 1 a.m. most nights and 2 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Making their connection at Paris on the Platte for this exhibition are mask maker Phil Eastwood, mosaic artist Krystie Rose Millich and painters Elke McGuire, Daryl Price and Marla Sullivan. "People Connect at Paris on the Platte" runs from October 5 through November 10, with an opening reception on Friday October 5, from 5 to 7 p.m., at 1553 Platte Street in Denver.
Project Exposure 2012: Photographs by Ben Rasmussen for Friendship Bridge
Woman Weaving by Ben Rasmussen
Efforts to empower women in Guatemala conducted by a Denver-based nonprofit are the subject of a photography exhibition entitled "Exposure 2012: Friendship Bridge in Guatemala" at Vertigo Art Space in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe, running September 14 through 28. The images are the work of award-winning freelance photographer Ben Rasmussen, taken in March 2012, through a program funded by Project Exposure and designed to bring attention to the work of Friendship Bridge. The photographs in the exhibition were selected from more than 500 images taken by Rasmussen during a one-week period as he traveled through the highlands and Lake Atitlan regions of Guatemala, chronicling the work of Friendship Bridge and featuring the women who benefit from microfinance and education programs. Over the course of the week, Rasmussen met and photographed the women and their businesses with an eye toward showing the resilience of the women at work, the harsh conditions of life, and solutions to poverty in his compelling images set against a background of the Lake Atitlan countryside
Pop-UP Gallery 2 - July 5-27, 2012
Sweet Lips by Ann Raabe
Jabula Mirror Masks filled with images of her African childhood and decorated with mirrors, glass, beads and stones are the creations of Boulder artist Ann Raabe. Each of her one-of-a-kind masks -- more like sculptures, really -- portrays a singular personality, sometimes primitive and modern, abstract and tangible, or dark and light. The exhibition's senior artist, Tadashi Hayakawa, presents gentle yet tumultuous abstract images in the paintings created in his Parker studio during a time when he realized the approach of the twilight of his life. They are part of his five-year plan to paint under the theme of "Dreaming of Life in the Heaven." Colors, lines and shapes appear to change with the light, jumping out of the canvas to tease the viewer's eye. Joining Raabe and Hayakawa in the exhibition are Denver artists Patty Ramey whose traditional and representational paintings of bright sunflowers and full-bloomed hydrangeas bring good cheer and Young Hee Back who presents abstract works that flourish with dreamy colors and graceful movement.
