Q: use a variable outside a function javascript i am trying to get html from a web page though xmlhttprequest using node.js. The code that i have found on internet is:
var sys = require ('sys'),
url = require('url'),
XMLHttpRequest = require("xmlhttprequest").XMLHttpRequest,
http = require('http'),
qs = require('querystring');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    var temp
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
        var loc = xhr.responseText.search("Right Now");
        temp = xhr.responseText.substr(loc,loc+10);
        //console.log(temp);
        }
    }
xhr.open('GET', 'http://www.weather.com/weather/today/37.229572,-80.413940', true);
xhr.send(null);
console.log(temp);
res.write("pappu\n");
res.end();
}
).listen(80);

I want to use xhr.responseText outside the function but i am unable to do it. I have tried not using var with temp to make it global but node.js is giving error on this.
Please help me
Regards

A: Are you dead set on using xmlhttprequest? Since you are using node, there are easier and cleaner solutions that will wrap this functionality for you, like the popular request library. Here's an example that will achieve the results you want in many fewer lines of code:
var request = require('request');
request.get('http://www.weather.com/weather/today/37.229572,-80.413940', callback);

function callback(err, res){
  if (err) return console.error(err);
  console.log(res.body);
}

All you have to do is run npm install request to get this to run correctly. If for some reason you need to use xmlhttprequest let me know and I'll update this answer with instructions, just figured I'd suggest an easier way to achieve the same thing first : )

A: xmlhttprequest works asynchronously, so your console.log(temp); will not work as you expect. Because temp variable will not be defined until the response is received. Hence, any attempt to print it immediately after xhr.send(null); will likely give an error.

What constitutes the "law of the case" for purposes of future proceedings in that case?
Issue Presented: Under what circumstances do the rulings of an appellate court not constitute the law of the case for purposes of future proceedings in that case?
Relevant Facts: Over 200 plaintiffs filed suit against the Texas Department of Transportation ("TxDOT"), several municipal utility districts, and other private entities for flood damage that occurred in their homes as a result of the rains from Tropical Storm Frances in 1998 and Tropical Storm Allison in 2001. The plaintiffs claimed that the defendants inadequately designed and implemented flood control devices along a bayou, and in doing so failed to protect their homes from the flooding.
After remand, the Plaintiffs settled with all defendants except the Harris County entities. Those entities filed motions for summary judgment based on sovereign immunity, which the trial court granted. The First Court reversed the granting of the summary judgment, finding that the plaintiffs had raised a fact issue regarding the potential liability of the Harris County entities. ("Kerr II") However, on rehearing, the First Court superseded that opinion with a new opinion reversing on jurisdictional grounds, because the suit had been brought in a district court instead of a county court at law.
After remand from the second appeal, the plaintiffs re-filed their suit in a county court at law. The county court at law denied the Harris County entities' plea to the jurisdiction on the grounds that the First Court's Kerr I and Kerr II opinions compelled such a result, as they constituted the law of the case.
Legal Summary: The "law of the case" doctrine provides that a question of law decided on appeal to an appellate court governs the case throughout its subsequent stages. The doctrine does not apply, however, where the issues or facts presented in the later appeal are not "substantially the same" as the issues or facts addressed in the prior appeal.
The court addressed separately whether each of the Kerr decisions constituted the law of the case. First, the court determined that Kerr I did not constitute the law of the case, as the defendant in that appeal was no longer a party to the case, the Harris County entities were not parties to that appeal, and the factual allegations raised against the Harris County entities were different that those asserted in Kerr I.
Likewise, the court found that Kerr II also did not constitute the law of the case, because it was withdrawn and superseded by another opinion. Although Kerr II was withdrawn on jurisdictional grounds, the First Court still found that the reasoning put forth therein for denying the Harris County entities' motions for summary judgment did not constitute the law of the case. Therefore, the trial court erred by denying the Harris County entities' pleas to the jurisdiction on the grounds that the law of the case compelled it to do so.
Issue Presented: Where a plaintiff filed suit against a defendant, then moved to compel arbitration of the defendant's counterclaim, did the plaintiff waive its right to arbitration by substantially invoking the judicial process?
Relevant Facts: Enterprise sued Conoco and TOC-Rocky Mountain, Inc. ("TOC"), seeking a declaratory judgment regarding its rights under a natural gas gathering and delivery agreement (the "Straddle Agreement"). TOC counterclaimed for a declaratory judgment of its own, seeking a declaration as to the validity of the Straddle Agreement and the parties later Gathering Agreement. The Gathering Agreement contained a mandatory arbitration clause, while the Straddle Agreement did not.
Based on the arbitration provision in the Gathering Agreement, Enterprise filed a motion to compel arbitration of TOC's counterclaims. The trial court permitted TOC to amend its pleadings, and TOC removed any request for a declaratory judgment under the Gathering Agreement. The trial court then denied Enterprise's motion to compel arbitration.
Legal Summary: As an initial matter, the First Court dealt with the question of whether TOC's claims were arbitrable. The court concluded that any claims for breach under the Straddle Agreement would necessarily involve the interpretation of provisions of the Gathering Agreement. Because the Gathering Agreement was closely related to the Straddle Agreement and was an important part of the parties' course of dealing, the court held that TOC's claims were subject to the arbitration provision in the Gathering Agreement.
(1) whether the movant for arbitration was the plaintiff (who chose to file in court) or the defendant (who merely responded), (2) when the movant learned of the arbitration clause and how long the movant delayed before seeking arbitration, (3) the amount of pretrial activity related to the merits rather than arbitrability or jurisdiction, (4) the amount of discovery conducted, and (5) whether the movant sought judgment on the merits.
In the case before it, the court found that Enterprise had not waived its right to demand arbitration. Enterprise's initial suit primarily asserted claims against Conoco and involved only the interpretation of the Straddle Agreement—Enterprise only added TOC as a potentially necessary party to those proceedings. Enterprise moved quickly to demand arbitration after TOC added its counterclaims. Further, discovery conducted in the case had been minimal, and Enterprise did not seek judgment on the merits. As such, Enterprise did not waive its right to demand arbitration, even though it initiated the suit.
Finally, TOC argued that if its claims were arbitrable, Enterprise's claims must be arbitrable as well. However, TOC never moved to compel Enterprise's claim to arbitration. The court held that "without affirmative conduct in opposition to arbitration, there is an absence of affirmative conduct that indicates an intention to waive the right to demand it." As a result, the fact that Enterprise still intended to pursue its claims against TOC in state court did not amount to a waiver of its right to demand arbitration of TOC's claims against it.
Issue Presented: Under what circumstances does a declaratory judgment present a non-justiciable controversy?
Relevant Facts: The case arose out of an altercation between E.L. O'Rourke and an officer with the Port Police in Galveston, as well as the subsequent investigation thereof. O'Rourke sued the Board of Trustees of the Galveston Wharves ("Board") for invasion of privacy, civil conspiracy, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief. Specifically, O'Rourke sought a declaratory judgment that "Defendants falsified evidence and knowingly presented false testimony before the Wharves Board, which is a violation of the due course of law under Art. I, section 19 of the Texas Constitution." The trial court permitted O'Rourke to pursue a declaratory judgment on this ground.
Legal Summary: The First Court of Appeals held that O'Rourke was not entitled to pursue a declaratory judgment on the quoted ground. "A declaratory judgment is appropriate only if a justiciable controversy exists as to the rights and status of the parties and if the controversy will be resolved by the declaration sought." Id. at *6. A controversy will cease to exist when the issues presented by the case are no longer "live" or the parties to the case lack a legally cognizable interest in the outcome. Id. When a controversy ceases to exist, the case becomes moot, causing a plaintiff to lose standing to bring his claims. Id.
After outlining those general principles, the court considered whether O'Rourke's request for declaratory judgment was appropriate. The court first noted that any falsification of evidence or false testimony occurred in the past—there was no indication that the conduct would recur. Further, O'Rourke did not seek monetary damages or claim that the conduct in question impacted his reputation in any way. Accordingly, a declaratory judgment regarding the conduct would have no practical effect and would not resolve any controversy between the parties. Therefore, the court held that the declaratory judgment O'Rourke sought was moot.
Challenging a ruling on a motion to compel arbitration: appeal or mandamus?
Issue presented: Given that §51.016 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code ("CPRC") permits the interlocutory appeal of a motion to compel arbitration, may a litigant also challenge the trial court's ruling via a petition for writ of mandamus?
Relevant Facts: Santander purchased a retail installment contract from a mobile home retailer. After Santander attempted to collect amounts due from the consumer, the consumer sued Santander, alleging he was not liable on the contract. Santander moved to compel arbitration, citing an arbitration provision in the contract. The trial court denied Santander's motion to compel arbitration. Over two months after the trial court's denial of the motion to compel arbitration, Santander filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging the ruling.
Legal Summary: Santander, citing several Texas Supreme Court cases from the mid-2000's argued that mandamus was the appropriate remedy for the wrongful denial of a motion to compel arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. The consumer, on the other hand, argued that §51.016 of the CPRC provides the exclusive avenue for immediate review of a trial court's ruling on a motion to compel arbitration.
However, in 2009, the Texas Legislature passed §51.016, which provide for interlocutory appeal of trial court rulings on arbitration under the FAA. Santander—citing the Supreme Court case of Hernandez v. Ebrom, 289 S.W.3d 316, 318-19 (Tex. 2009), which interpreted similar language in a different statute—contended that this section was permissive, rather than mandatory, because it provided that a party "may" bring an interlocutory appeal of the trial court's order. The court responded to this point by noting that the permissive statutory language simply protects a party's right to assert its complaint at some point in time, such as a usual appeal from a final judgment. The permissive statutory language does not speak to whether a party may seek immediate review of the trial court's ruling via a petition for writ of mandamus.
The court differentiated the case before it from cases that were decided prior to the enactment of §51.016. Unlike the parties seeking mandamus relief prior to the passage of §51.016, Santander had an immediate appellate remedy. This, of course, impacts the court's analysis of whether an adequate appellate remedy exists, one of the key considerations in determining whether mandamus relief is appropriate. In fact, the court noted that the case before it could raise the issue of whether Santander's petition must be categorically denied, because §51.016 provides an adequate remedy by appeal as a matter of law.
However, rather than announce a broadly-applicable rule that mandamus relief is never appropriate following the passage of §51.016, the court confined its decision to the facts before it in Santander. Based on the facts before it, the court determined that Santander did not meet its burden to demonstrate that a timely filed, accelerated appeal would not have afforded it an adequate appellate remedy. Thus, the court refused Santander's petition for writ of mandamus.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Keyes indicated that she would have gone farther than the majority by announcing a broadly applicable rule, rather than limiting the holding to the facts of the case. In Justice Keyes' opinion, "[t]he real question is whether section 51.016 provides an adequate and complete remedy by appeal when a trial court has denied a motion to compel arbitration under the FAA. The answer is 'yes.'" Id. at *10. Thus, Justice Keyes would have dismissed Santander's petition for writ of mandamus on the ground that §51.016 provides an adequate remedy by appeal.
Issue Presented: Though several issues were presented the core issue upon which all others turned was whether language contained in two letter agreements sent by a borrower's counsel to employees of the mortgage servicer while litigation was pending, and which bypassed the servicer's attorney of record, operated to waive the lender's right to pursue foreclosure of its lien on the borrower's property.
Relevant Facts: The borrower, Albert Ortiz ("Ortiz"), sued National City Bank of Indiana (the "Bank") and National City Home loan Services, Inc. (the "Servicer") (collectively, the "Bank Parties"), alleging a variety of claims, including wrongful foreclosure, breach of contract, negligence, trespass to real property, trespass to personalty, and conversion. The Bank counterclaimed to recover on the note and judicially foreclose the deed of trust lien. As a defense to the counterclaims, Ortiz asserted that the Bank's representative had signed letter agreements waiving and releasing the Bank's claims.
In March 2004, Ortiz purchased a house (the "Birdsall Property"), and financed it by executing a promissory note (the "Note") in the original principal amount of $472,000.00 secured by a deed of trust (the "Deed of Trust"). At all material times, the Bank was the owner and holder of the Note and the beneficiary of the Deed of Trust. Following various payment disputes and defaults by Ortiz, the Bank elected to accelerate the loan and foreclose on the Birdsall Property. The Servicer sent Ortiz a notices of intent to accelerate and of acceleration in November and December 2005, respectively; however, these were misaddressed. The foreclosure sale was rescheduled several times, and the Birdsall Property was eventually posted for sale on June 6, 2006. Ortiz filed a suit to enjoin the sale, but his request for a TRO was denied, and the property went to sale, at which it was purchased by the Bank.
This Agreement shall confirm that Lender has completed and will file an Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-A in connection with its foreclosure on the above-referenced property. as a result, it does not intend to and shall not file or pursue any lawsuit or other legal proceeding against Borrower for any deficiency or otherwise. Lender agrees to and does fully release Borrower from any and all obligations and liability that Borrower may have or may have had to Lender, and Lender waives any and all demands and claims regarding any such obligation or liability. it is agreed that no further sums will be made or owed by Borrower, and no further sums will be demanded or litigated by Lender.
Out of an abundance of caution, I am requesting that you please confirm, by signing where indicated below, that all of the terms and conditions of the June 26, 2006 letter agreement [the First Letter] also apply to [the Bank], as the Lender, and that [the Bank] also releases and waives any and all actual and potential demands and claims regarding any obligations or liabilities of the Borrower, Albert Ortiz, in connection with the above-referenced property, including the note and deed of trust associated with such property.
The signatory of the First Letter likewise signed and returned the Second Letter, this time as the authorized representative of the Bank, and the first suit was dismissed. Thereafter, Ortiz filed a second suit against the Bank Parties, alleging the same claims he had previously, as well as seeking a declaratory judgment that the First Letter and the Second Letter (together, the "Letter Agreements") did not fail for lack of consideration, and, taken together, waived the debt and absolved Ortiz of any obligation or liability either to the Bank or on the Note and Deed of Trust. The Bank asserted various defenses and counterclaims, including a request for declaratory judgment voiding the Letter Agreements since they were sent in violation of the Texas Disciplinary Rules and authorizing the Bank to proceed with foreclosure. As noted by the Court of Appeals, Ortiz had never repaid any portion of the principal amount of the Note.
After a lengthy procedural history and a trial, at which a jury found that the Letter Agreements were invalid as to the debt or ownership of the Birdsall Property, the trial court disregarded the jury's findings, and entered summary judgment in favor of Ortiz, pursuant to which it declared that the Letter Agreements were a valid waiver of the debt and the lien. Both Ortiz and the Bank Parties appealed alleging a number of points of error. Ortiz also filed a petition for writ of mandamus as to certain relief not awarded by the trial court's judgment. The Court of Appeals subsequently consolidated the cross-appeals and the mandamus proceeding.
Outcome/Holding: The Court held that the Letter Agreements were ambiguous and, consequently, any such ambiguity had to be construed against the drafter, Ortiz. In finding the Letter Agreements to be ambiguous, the Court relied upon (a) the express reference in the First Letter to the IRS Form 1099-A; (b) the Letter Agreements' use of the words and phrases "as a result," "further," "out of an abundance of caution" and "confirm" (which the Court held weighed in favor of a narrow interpretation), in contrast to the Letter Agreements' use of the words and phrases "for any deficiency or otherwise" and "all of the terms and conditions" (which the Court found mitigated in favor of a more broad interpretation). Having found the Letter Agreements to be ambiguous, the Court, relying upon Burton v. Nat'l Bank of Commerce of Dallas, 679 S.W.2d 115, 118 (Tex.App.--Dallas 1984, no writ), concluded that summary judgment was improper as determining the parties intent with respect to the Letter Agreements was a question of fact for the jury. The Court further found that the trial court erred in disregarding the findings of the jury and, in conjunction with its determinations as to the other points of error asserted, reversed and remanded.
Justice Kem Thompson Frost dissented, arguing that the language of the Letter Agreements was clear, unequivocal, and susceptible to only one reasonable interpretation, that being that the Bank had waived its rights under the Note and Deed of Trust, and therefore had no claims or rights with respect to either Ortiz or the Birdsall Property. Justice Frost also argued that the majority's holding had serious negative public policy implications, insofar as the release language contained in the Letter Agreements was of a standard form commonly used to resolve litigation, and the holding of the Court would operate to dissuade parties from employing such tools to resolve disputes, thereby increasing the likelihood that pending litigation would not settle and would continue to burden the dockets of Texas courts.
Ortiz subsequently filed a motion to extend the time to file a motion for rehearing, which was granted.
Issue Presented: This appeal presented, among other issues, the question of whether a lender may recover attorneys' fees against a borrower under the Texas Declaratory Judgments Act, where the subject in dispute is a Texas Home Equity Loan.
Relevant Facts: Appellants Patrick O'Brien Murphy and his wife, Beverly (collectively, "the Murphys") refinanced their pre-existing mortgage in 2006, obtaining a Texas home equity loan from Appellee Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"). On May 29, 2008, the Murphys' note and deed of trust were assigned to Appellee HSBC Bank USA ("HSBC"), as trustee for a securitized trust, with Wells Fargo being retained as the servicer. The Murphys ceased making their payments in March 2008, and Wells Fargo subsequently initiated foreclosure proceedings.
The Murphys filed suit against Wells Fargo and HSBC on November 14, 2008, alleging the breach of an oral contract to refinance the mortgage. Wells Fargo and HSBC each answered, and Wells Fargo filed a counterclaim for declaratory relief, seeking a declaration that the Murphys were in default. Thereafter, Wells Fargo and HSBC jointly filed a motion for summary judgment on both no-evidence and traditional grounds. The trial court granted the motion, disposing of the Murphys' claims, entering declaratory judgment in favor of Wells Fargo, and awarding Wells Fargo attorneys' fees and costs in the amount of $116,505.75 against the Murphys personally. The Murphys appealed as to the judgment in favor of Wells Fargo, but did not raise any error as regard the judgment in favor of HSBC.
Outcome/Holding: The Court affirmed the trial court's judgment as to the dismissal of the Murphys' claims and the declaratory relief sought by Wells Fargo, but reversed and remanded as to the award of fees and costs. Visiting Justice Margaret Mirabal, writing for the majority, held that Wells Fargo's request for declaratory relief could not change the basic character of the suit; to wit, a dispute over a Texas home equity loan as to which personal liability is prohibited under Section 50(a)(6)(C) of the Texas constitution. As such, Wells Fargo could potentially obtain judgment for the attorneys' fees and costs against the property subject to the lien, but was barred from obtaining any award for which the Murphys might be personally liable.
Justice Kem Thompson Frost dissented. In her dissent, Justice Frost reasoned that the Texas Declaratory Judgments Act created an independent basis for liability, separate and apart from the home equity loan. As such, the Texas constitution did not bar personal liability and, since Wells Fargo had met the requirements for recovery of attorneys' fees under the statute, it was entitled to recover them.
Issue Presented: What is the relative priority of the perfected security interest of the seller of chattel, in relation to the constructive trust imposed in favor of a third-party, whose funds were embezzled and used to purchase the chattel?
Relevant Facts: In June 2009, Appellant Marathon Machine Tools, Inc. ("Marathon") agreed to sell a lathe and accessories to Hanna-Skye, Inc. ("Hanna-Skye") for $299,825.00. Using stolen funds, Hanna Skye paid 25% of the purchase price at the time of the order and 40% upon delivery of the lathe. Hanna-Skye owed a final 35% payment due by November 30, 2009, which was never paid. Marathon filed a financing statement to perfect its security interest in the lathe on February 4, 2010.
On January 8, 2010, Appellee Davis-Lynch, Inc. ("DLI") filed suit in the Southern District of Texas against several former employees and various related individuals and entities, including Hanna-Skye. Among other allegations, DLI contended that the former employees misappropriated several million dollars from DLI, which they then used to fund their own company, Hanna-Skye. In May 2010, DLI moved for the imposition of a constructive trust upon any and all equipment purchased by Hanna-Skye with the stolen funds, including the subject lathe. The federal court granted the motion in June 2010, entering an order compelling Hanna-Skye to surrender possession of the Lathe to DLI. On November 23, 2010, the federal court rendered final judgment in favor of DLI.
While this was occurring, Marathon filed an action in Texas state court alleging that it had a superior security interest in the lathe. The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. The trial court denied Marathon's motion and granted DLI's motion, rendering final judgment that Marathon take nothing.
Outcome/Holding: The court held that DLI's rights as a lien creditor were superior to those of Marathon, basing its decision on their determination that the constructive trust in favor of DLI arose in June 2009 when the stolen funds were first used to purchase the lathe, and DLI's interest was therefore first in time.
Issue Presented: The issue presented in this appeal was whether a municipality is immune from tort liability for the forcible eviction of residents of a condemned property.
Relevant Facts: Appellants own condominium units in the Park Memorial complex in Houston. in July 2008, the complex was inspected by the City of Houston (the "City" and found to be in dangerous disrepair, including, but not limited to, loss of structural integrity of support beams due to water, dry rot and termite infestation. In August 2008, as a result of the inspection report, the City issued an order to the residents of the complex, stating that "use or occupancy … creates a hazard to human life or property" and directing all Park Memorial residents to vacate all Park Memorial units by September 15, 2008. The deadline was eventually extended to October 1, 2008, due to the reduced availability of temporary housing in the Houston area as a consequence of Hurricane Ike.
On October 1, 2008, Appellants filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the 152nd District Court of Harris County, seeking judicial review of the order to vacate, as well as temporary injunctive relief to prevent its immediate enforcement. The City filed a plea to the jurisdiction on October 8, alleging sovereign immunity, which was granted. The trial court also denied and the TRO expired. Appellants appealed in time to stop their eviction.
Outcome/Holding: The Court reversed and remanded. Equating the condominium owners' petition for writ of certiorari to an inverse condemnation claim, the Court determined that the City's action was a compensable taking, which gave rise to an inverse condemnation right of action. Thus, since Article I, Section 17 of the Texas Constitution provides a waiver of immunity for inverse condemnation claims, the Court held that the City's plea to the jurisdiction should have been denied.
Dissenting, Justice Kem Thompson Frost argued that, because Appellants had alleged a violation of procedural due process, they had failed to assert a takings claim, as the latter requires legitimate governmental action in the exercise of lawful authority. As such, she concluded, the City's order was subject to being set aside as void, but the pleadings did not set forth a takings claim and there was no basis for finding a waiver of immunity.
Issue Presented: The issues presented in this appeal were (a) whether sovereign immunity protects the Harris County Commissioners and the Director of the City of Houston Department of Public Works and Engineering against a suit to determine who must bear the cost of relocating telecommunications equipment located in a public right-of-way and attached to a City-owned bridge that the City of Houston ("the City") has scheduled for demolition; and (b) whether section 49.223 of the Texas Water Code requires the City to bear the cost of relocating the equipment.
Relevant Facts: This appeal arises from a dispute as to who must bear the cost of relocating AT&T's telecommunications equipment, which is located in a public right-of-way and is attached to the Forest Hill Street Bridge in Houston, which spans Brays Bayou near the Ship Channel. The dispute arose due to a plan to demolish the existing City-owned bridge and replace it with a longer, wider one as part of a project to widen Brays Bayou.
On March 9, 2007, the City sent AT&T a letter directing it to relocate its facilities attached to the existing bridge. On April 30, 2007, AT&T sent a response in which it stated that it would agree to do so, provided that the Harris County Flood Control District ("HCFCD") agreed to reimburse it for 100% of the costs of such relocation. The City replied on May 16, 2007, insisting that AT&T had the responsibility to relocate. The City's response also invoked Section 40-397 of Ordinance 2005-371, which authorized the City to perform the relocation itself and recover the cost of the relocation from the owner.
On June 25, 2007, AT&T filed suit, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. Specifically, AT&T sought a declaration that Section 49.223 of the Water Code took precedence over the City's ordinance, and that, pursuant thereto, (a) the City and HCFCD were barred from relocating the equipment and charging the cost to AT&T; and (b) the Flood Control District was required to bear the cost of AT&T's relocation of the equipment pursuant to Section 49.223(a) of the Water Code. The suit originally named Ed Emmett, El Franco Lee, Sylvia Garcia, Steve Radack, and Jack Eversole, as members of the County Commissioners' Court (collectively, "the County Commissioners"), HCFCD, Michael Marcotte, as Director of the City of Houston Department of Public Works and Engineering ("Marcotte"), and the City as defendants. AT&T subsequently amended its petition to drop HCFCD to avoid subject matter jurisdiction issues. Nevertheless, the County Commissioners subsequently filed a plea to the jurisdiction, alleging sovereign immunity. The County Commissioners, Marcotte and the City (collectively, "Appellees") also filed various traditional and no-evidence motions for summary judgment. AT&T filed a cross-motion for summary judgment, in which AT&T contended that it was entitled to summary judgment in its favor because section 49.223 allegedly (a) applied any time HCFCD made necessary the relocation of any road, bridge, railroad, electric transmission line, telegraph, or telephone properties, facilities or pipelines, and (b) operated to create a statutory duty on the part of HCFCD to bear the expense of relocating AT&T's equipment. The County Commissioners responded that section 49.223 required (a) an action by HCFCD; (b) done in the exercise of a power, not merely a right or function; (c) which made necessary the relocation of property. Because the City, not HCFCD, was the entity mandating the relocation, they argued that the statute did not apply. The City and Marcotte contended that the City made necessary the relocation of the equipment via the exercise of its power under section 311.001 of the Texas Transportation Code, which grants Texas home-rule municipal corporations exclusive control over and under the streets of the municipality. The trial court sustained the County Commissioners' plea to the jurisdiction, as well as Appellees' motions for summary judgment, and denied AT&T's cross-motion.
Outcome/Holding: The Court held that the trial court had erred in sustaining the County Commissioners' plea to the jurisdiction, but had acted properly in granting Appellees' motions for summary judgment as to the merits of AT&T's claims. The Court held that, as to the County Commissioners, AT&T's claim fit within the ultra vires exception to sovereign immunity set forth in City of El Paso v. Heinrich, 284 S.W.3d 366, 371 (Tex.2009) (where a statutory or constitutional provision creates an entitlement to payment, suits seeking to require state officers to comply with the law are not barred by immunity merely because they compel the state to make those payments). However, the Court agreed with the arguments advanced by Appellees as to the applicability of section 49.223. Because it was the City, not HCFCD, in the exercise of its power of exclusive control over the streets of Houston, that required the relocation, HCFCD could not be said to have made necessary the relocation, as required by the statute, even though HCFCD had been involved in the planning for the Brays project. The Court further cast doubt on whether the relocation was "made necessary" at all, citing testimony by the project engineer that the Forest Hill Street Bridge could be left alone. Thus, the relocation costs at issue were not within the scope of section 49.223, and AT&T failed to establish its right to payment.

David Byrne brought drumlines and dance parties to the Kauffman Center
Fally Afani — June 8, 2018
David Byrne / Photo by Fally Afani
The Kauffman Center became the hottest dance hall in Kansas City on Thursday when David Byrne presented decades of his music in grand, get-down fashion.
The audience was barely seated for much of the show, opting to stand up and dance along with the American Utopia Tour. By the second song, the entire sold-out venue delivered a standing ovation. Byrne was already thrilling them at that point, and he hadn't even begun to tap into all their senses.
The show really did encompass just about every sense. Set within a cube of dangling silver chains, the show played with lights to create shadows and silhouettes in a disorienting affair. The space within that cube remained open and playful, as (despite having several musicians onstage) not a single wire or instrument touched the floor. Every drum, guitar, and microphone was strapped onto the players, all clad in matching gray suits… even the synth was suspended in space. The lineup was drum-heavy, adding a marching band vibe complete with intense choreography that complimented the lyrics of many of his recent releases, as well as Talking Heads classics. Just about every unusual percussion instrument you could think of showed up, creating a world unfamiliar to the average music viewer (but not at all unfamiliar to someone like David Byrne).
When the musicians weren't playing, they were striking poses and beaming at the audience. Their faces were so full of expression as they danced and carried out the formations in front of strobing lights and fog. They even used the lights to cast shadows through their drum heads, which they held in front of their faces and angled towards the spotlights. It was easy to fall in love with the personality of each and every musician onstage over the course of those two hours (though we were already a fan of one of the many drummers onstage, Aaron Johnston, a Kansas native who previously played with Brazilian Girls). This was a David Byrne concert, but it wasn't the David Byrne show. It was the ensemble of creative, dancing, and striking performers that really made it an engaging experience for anyone connecting with these songs. This was an artistic endeavor just as unworldly and unique as the maestro behind it.
Byrne, along with his posse, boasted two encores for the night, the second being solely dedicated to a cover of Janelle Monáe's "Hell You Talmbout." The song allowed the band to shout out the names of the victims of police brutality, followed by a demand, "Say his name!" The night was full of gleeful boogying and singing along (with a rousing "My God! What have I done!" during "Once In A Lifetime"), but the crowd was a little reluctant to chant along to this one. Byrne did not shy away from politics during the show, referencing the former First Lady of the Philippines in "Dancing Together" and bringing along nonprofit HeadCount to register voters on site at the Kauffman Center.
Benjamin Clementine / Photo by Fally Afani
He was joined on this tour stop by Benjamin Clementine, someone we can only describe as a soulful and poetic maniac. He introduced his set by lurking about the stage in the dark, eerily tapping sticks together while a pile of mannequin parts sat in the middle. In front of spacey distortion and a bassist, he banged on the piano and used his powerhouse vocals to belt out beautiful melodies over aggressive moods while charming the audience with his doleful demeanor.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (1985) – Patrick Suskind
Survivor, genius, perfumer, killer: this is Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. He is abandoned on the filthy streets of Paris as a child, but grows up to discover he has an extraordinary gift: a sense of smell more powerful than any other human's. Soon, he is creating the most sublime fragrances in all the city. Yet there is one odour he cannot capture. It is exquisite, magical: the scent of a young virgin. And to get it he must kill. And kill. And kill...
A fantastic tale of murder and twisted eroticism controlled by a disgusted loathing of humanity ... Clever, stylish, absorbing and well worth reading – Literary Review
A meditation on the nature of death, desire and decay ... a remarkable début – Peter Ackroyd, The New York Times Book Review
The Suspicions of Mr Whicher or The Murder at Road Hill House (2008) – Kate Summerscale
A true story that inspired a generation of writers such as Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle, this has all the hallmarks of the classic murder mystery - a body; a detective; a country house steeped in secrets. In The Suspicions of Mr Whicher Kate Summerscale untangles the facts behind this notorious case, bringing it back to vivid, extraordinary life.
It is a beautiful piece, written with great lucidity and respect for the reader, and with immaculate restraint. A classic, to my mind, of the finest documentary writing – John Le Carre
I can't think of another book which takes you so fast into the smells, tastes and atmosphere of that time – Doris Lessing
Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow (1992) – Peter Høeg
One snowy day in Copenhagen, six-year-old Isaiah falls to his death from a city rooftop. The police pronounce it an accident. But Isaiah's neighbour, Smilla, an expert in the ways of snow and ice, suspects murder. She embarks on a dangerous quest to find the truth, following a path of clues as clear to her as footsteps in the snow.
On one level, both a whodunnit and a thriller - ingeniously plotted. Extremely hard to put down. Peter Høeg's novel is already making for classic status – Independent
Unusual and enveloping. Extraordinarily evocative, atmospheric and poetic – Sunday Times
New York Trilogy (1985-6) – Paul Auster
Moving at the breathless pace of a thriller, these uniquely stylized detective novels include City of Glass in which Quinn, a mystery writer, receives an ominous phone call in the middle of the night. He's drawn into the streets of New York, onto an elusive case that's more puzzling and more deeply-layered than anything he might have written himself. In Ghosts, Blue, a mentee of Brown, is hired by White to spy on Black from a window on Orange Street. Once Blue starts stalking Black, he finds his subject on a similar mission. In The Locked Room, Fanshawe has disappeared, leaving behind his wife and baby and nothing but a cache of novels, plays, and poems.
Auster's best-known fiction, which reads as if Samuel Beckett were undertaking to refashion one of the more snarled plots of Raymond Chandler – Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books
Auster has perfected a limpid, confessional style, then used it to set disoriented heroes in a seemingly familiar world gradually suffused with mounting uneasiness, vague menace and possible hallucination – Michael Dirda, Washington Post
True Grit (1968) – Charles Portis
There is no knowing what lies in a man's heart. On a trip to buy ponies, Frank Ross is killed by one of his own workers. Tom Chaney shoots him down in the street for a horse, $150 cash, and two Californian gold pieces. Ross's unusually mature and single-minded fourteen-year-old daughter Mattie travels to claim his body, and finds that the authorities are doing nothing to find Chaney. Then she hears of Rooster - a man, she's told, who has grit - and convinces him to join her in a quest into dark, dangerous Indian territory to hunt Chaney down and avenge her father's murder.
Comparable to her literary ancestor and fellow southerner, Huckleberry Finn … a gripping story made up of insightful digressions – Observer
One of those rare sweet delights ... one can recommend to inveterate fiction readers and to those who read only one or two novels a year – San Francisco Chronicle
The Name of the Rose (1980) – Umberto Eco
The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns detective. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey where extraordinary things are happening under the cover of night. A spectacular popular and critical success, The Name of the Rose is not only a narrative of a murder investigation but an astonishing chronicle of the Middle Ages.
The novel explodes with pyrotechnic inventions, literally as well as figuratively . . . The narrative impulse that commands the story is irresistible …Mr. Eco's delight in his narrative does not fail to touch the reader – New York Times Book Review
Whether you're into Sherlock Holmes, Montaillou, Borges, the nouvelle critique, the Rule of St. Benedict, metaphysics, library design, or The Thing from the Crypt, you'll love it – Sunday Times
The True History of the Kelly Gang (2000) – Peter Carey
In True History of the Kelly Gang, the legendary Ned Kelly speaks for himself, scribbling his narrative on errant scraps of paper in semiliterate but magically descriptive prose as he flees from the police. To his pursuers, Kelly is nothing but a monstrous criminal, a thief and a murderer. To his own people, the lowly class of ordinary Australians, the bushranger is a hero, defying the authority of the English to direct their lives. Indentured by his bootlegger mother to a famous horse thief (who was also her lover), Ned saw his first prison cell at 15 and by the age of 26 had become the most wanted man in the wild colony of Victoria, taking over whole towns and defying the law until he was finally captured and hanged. Here is a classic outlaw tale, made alive by the skill of a great novelist.
The best measure of the novel's excellence [is] that you never doubt it's Kelly's own words you're reading in the headlong, action-packed story filled with stage-coach holdups, bank robberies and backstabbing treachery – Malcolm Jones, Newsweek
Carey deserves to be lionized in his native land for this triumphant historical recreation, and he will undoubtedly win a worldwide readership for a novel that teems with energy, suspense, and the true story of a memorable protagonist – Publishers Weekly

Volume > Issue > The Galileo Legend
The Galileo Legend
POP SCIENCE & FALSE HISTORY
By Thomas Lessl | June 2000
Thomas Lessl is a professor of rhetoric at the University of Georgia.
Popular legends are strange mixtures with curious effects. Although their historical elements may be mingled with erroneous claims, they often convey a measure of truth. This is one of the reasons such tales continue to be repeated, even when it is widely known that they omit or invent things. If we reflect on their themes, we can usually discern what makes them so durable. Take, for instance, the story about how the boy George Washington, having chopped down one of his father's prized cherry trees, promptly owned up by saying, "I cannot tell a lie." This story is known to be an invention of Mason Weems, an early biographer of Washington, but it endures because it expresses something that we regard as true and important about our first President — namely, that he was a man of great personal integrity. The facts relayed in the tale may not be worth much, but the story does seem to fairly represent Washington's character.
The opposite is true of another presidential legend, the one about how Abraham Lincoln worked as a rail-splitter in his youth. This story relates fact yet gives a misleading impression. Lincoln did do work of this kind as a young man, but we would be mistaken to presume that this indicates something about his character. Lincoln did not like manual labor, and his rail-splitting had nothing to do with his development as a person or as a leader — especially not as a leader. Thus the story is not quite harmless. The rail-splitting story suggests that rustic simplicity makes for virtue, but this is sheer romanticism. Other presidents were born in log cabins and endured the hardships of pioneer life: None of them was a Lincoln. I wouldn't say that tales of Lincoln's humble beginnings are a serious deception, but they do draw attention away from other attributes more worthy of our notice. If anything from Lincoln's youth marked him for greatness it was the passionate devotion to logical rigor and precise expression that he showed from an early age. These attributes, not the privations of frontier life, were what made him a great political architect.
Because it has factual basis, the Lincoln legend is far more seductive than the Washington story. In our milieu it is often assumed that "factual" simply means "true," and that "facts speak for themselves." But facts seldom do. Our convictions do not arise from facts alone but always from some whole, some picture that we compose from these smaller pieces of information. I introduce this interpretive problem because it is one of the mistakes at work in the well-known legend I wish to examine here. The most familiar popular legend about the relationship between Christianity and science is the story of Galileo's persecution by the Catholic Church. In skeletal form, it goes like this: In 1609 Galileo Galilei turned his telescope on the heavens and made some observations that supported a theory set forth earlier by the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus, that the Earth is not the center of the cosmos. Church officials objected that this view was incompatible with Scripture and should not be taught. In 1633, after Galileo had published a book defending the Copernican theory, he was forced to renounce his belief in this model of the solar system. The scientist, blind and in declining health, spent his final years under house arrest.
Each thing recounted here is a fact, but (as with the Lincoln legend) that does not mean that the picture commonly put together from these pieces of information is meaningful. To interpret these events, we would first have to answer at least three questions: Have other relevant facts been omitted? Has false information or embellishment been added? Is the overall picture the mind composes out of these pieces plausible and coherent? When these three questions are answered, this familiar, indeed "canonical," version of the Galileo story shows itself to be highly unreliable.

SENIORS ENJOY A VISIT TO DENMARK
Feb - 24 | By: Jim Becker | No comments.
Filed under : Adventure Travel, Europe
Seniors Stop In Helsingør
And for good reason. Senior travelers want to take in Hamlet's Home Town of Helsinore (The City by the Sea). Referred to in English as "Helsingoer", it is a "Place To Go in 2014″ according to New York Times of 52 places to visit around the world this year.
The Times highlights the new Maritime Museum of Denmark, recently opened and designed by famous architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group. The city itself has 35,000+ inhabitants and the Helsingør Municipality boasts 60,000+.
Helsingør is the home of famed Kronborg Castle, a World Heritage Site and the resting place of Holger the Dane. Legend has it, that if Denmark is attacked, Holger the Dane will rise from his resting place and defend Denmark.
Hamlet has been performed in the courtyard at Kronborg Castle many times and each year it welcomes over 200,000 visitors from all over the world. It was built between 1574 and 1585 by Frederick II in Dutch Renaissance style to replace an earlier fortress.
Where Will Senior Travelers Find Helsingor?
The city lies on the northeast coast of Sjaelland, an hour's train ride from Copenhagen. Helsingør is now a commercial and administrative centre with port facilities, varied and mostly small-scale manufacturing, and tourism. Across the Oresund is Helsingborg, Sweden, which can be reached by a short ferry ride.
GoNomad will take senior visitors to Helsingor's front door with visitor information and suggestions of what to see and do. Helsingør is full of pedestrian oriented historic streets, just made for ambling along. They contain a delightful collection of half-timbered houses, Gothic churches and a medieval cloister, interspersed with interesting shops and good cafés.
Helsingør is an historical place with richly colored, well preserved architecture and cobblestone streets. It has small-town charm with big city benefits. While the city is quite expansive, most sights of interest – besides the technical museum – lies within the compact city centre, so walking is really the best way to get around.
Senior Historians Drawn to Helsingor
Senior visitors will fall in love with the castles, museums, churches, woods and golden, clean beaches. A walk through the old town's ancient cobbled streets with the beautiful bourgeois houses is an unforgettable experience. Senior visitors will see timber-framed houses and restored cobbled by-ways.
There are specialty shops everywhere that sell various and sundry items, but wine and cheese seem to be the most popular. Some of the narrow alleyways are almost like little tunnels passing between the rouge-colored masonry of the side walls.
Centrally located are The Church of St. Mary and the Carmelite Monastery, a great example of late medieval architecture. It has cathedral ceilings and an organ that is a replica of the one played there from 1660 to 1668 by the resident organist and composer Dietrich Buxtehude, who greatly influenced the younger composers of his time.
Make your plans for a visit to Helsingør when you are in Denmark. jeb

Studded Tires Aren't Actually a Good Buy This Winter
credit: @vegasworld/Twenty20
In some parts of the world, everyone is a Game of Thrones Stark. "Winter is coming" isn't just a family motto, but a way of life. We still have to get around when it's snowing and icy outside, but one widespread method may actually do more harm than good.
Researchers from Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology have just released a study examining the overall impact of studded tires, which grip snowy roads like track cleats to keep cars from skidding. About 60 percent of Swedish drivers use studded tires in the winter, making their environmental effect a national concern. When the studs run on exposed concrete or asphalt (i.e., not on ice or snow), they ultimately ruin roads and create dangerous emissions from the particulate matter they raise.
To make matters worse, one of the materials used in creating the studs is a conflict mineral. Cobalt mining is a key player in the decades-long conflict rending the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Chalmers team found that in the end, studded tires actually cost more lives than they save from accidents. According to a press release, "Swedish use of studded tires saves between 60 and 770 life-years, compared with 570 to 2200 life-years which are lost."
Most of the solutions proposed by the Chalmers researchers are municipal or corporate, rather than individual. "How you drive is important, and snow-ploughing and sweeping needs to be done properly," said co-author Anna Furberg. "Many cars today also have electronic anti-skid systems fitted, which make them safer to drive at higher speeds." Ultimately, they propose more research into alternatives to studded tires. Until then, consider other options — or just see if climate change makes the choice for you.

Maybe there's no such thing as a free lunch, but iOS device owners certainly have their pick of free apps. While you're mulling over your choices for what apps to install on your new iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, consider these 10 options, which won't cost you a dime.
CNN: There are other news apps, but no free news app offers quite the polish of CNN on either the iPhone or the iPad. The app combines videos and cleanly displayed articles to keep you abreast of all the news that's fit to consume.
PCalc Lite: iOS's built-in calculator is merely fine—and doesn't exist on the iPad. PCalc Lite works on all iOS devices, adds a slew of features like unit conversions, constants, optional Reverse Polish notation, and more (though its paid counterpart offers more features).
Kindle: Amazon's offering is but one of several e-reading ecosystems that you can choose from on iOS. Kindle for iPhone and iPad still outshines its competitors, both in size and pricing. Even better, the app automatically syncs your current page between all your iOS devices, computers, and hardware Kindles.
Netflix: If you use Netflix's streaming service, you need this app on your iPhone or iPad. It combines access to your Watch Instantly queue, along with easy browsing for other titles you might like to watch.
Flipboard: Flipboard assembles content on your iPhone or iPad from sources you choose—including major magazines, your Facebook and Twitter feeds, and an assortment of curators—into a delightfully easy-to-browse interface.
Flow: This Amazon-powered app borders on crazily futuristic. Point your iPhone's camera at anything around you—a book, DVD, video game, or any UPC barcode—and near-instantly, you get reviews, pricing, and even excerpts or clips as appropriate. It's great for comparison shopping and bookmarking goodies your friends have that you want, too.
Dropbox Sure, Dropbox can keep all your files in sync between your computers. But with the company's iPhone and iPad app, you can gain access to all of those files on your iOS devices as well. Magic!
Find My iPhone: If you use more than one iOS device, Find My iPhone will, one day, prove itself invaluable. Apple's iPhone and iPad app can help you locate even muted iOS devices, send messages to their screens, and get a GPS fix.
US Basketball: This iPhone offering is one of those hilariously addictive games that you just can't stop playing. It's free, it's fun, and it's highly replayable.
Square: This is the only app on this list that requires an accessory—but the accessory is free, too! Square lets you swipe credit cards, wiring that money directly to your bank account. The only cost is a 2.75 percent fee assessed on the total you charge the cardholder.

125th Anniversary Celebration Of Notre Dame Football Underway
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – With the 2012 University of Notre Dame football season less than two weeks away, the celebration of 125 years of Fighting Irish football (1887-2012) is well underway.
The University last spring introduced a special 125 logo that is being utilized throughout the year on all signage identifying elements of the campaign. The logo will be seen on sideline apparel worn by Irish coaches during 2012 home games and on the back of the Irish helmets for the Sept. 22 Notre Dame-Michigan game.
The "Strong and True" slogan — taken from the University's alma mater, "Notre Dame, Our Mother" — has been interwoven through various segments of the NDFB125 program.
Although the celebration lasts all fall, the Sept. 22 Notre Dame-Michigan game at Notre Dame Stadium (7:30 p.m. EDT on NBC Sports) will feature special recognition events based on Irish football history dating back to the first Notre Dame game in 1887 against Michigan. The Notre Dame-Michigan relationship qualifies as the original and oldest Football Bowl Subdivision rivalry. Former Irish head coach Ara Parseghian will take part in the flag presentation for that game.
A Web site devoted to 125 years of Irish football has been created at 125.nd.edu. It launched last spring, with three sample "Strong and True" moments featured. Beginning Aug. 27, 125 "Strong and True" moments will be released (one per day) via digital media, along with photo and video galleries. Some of those video moments will be featured at the Notre Dame Football Kickoff luncheons on the Fridays of home weekends.
Former Notre Dame players and fans have been and will be encouraged to engage and participate via the 125 site (as well as social media) by sharing stories, photos and videos of their "Strong and True" experiences via Facebook (facebook.com/ndfootball) and Twitter (@125ndfb). The official NDFB125 site also will feature memories provided by former Irish football players and others connected with the program from their Notre Dame football experiences.
Here are specifics of other elements of the 125-year celebration:
NDFB125 banners featuring the official logo will be on display at all Notre Dame Stadium gates, as well as at the mediaentrance and on the ticket windows.
The pennant-style flags that fly over Notre Dame Stadium and normally feature all the different opponent names from that season instead in 2012 will display the NDFB125 logo.
The light posts surrounding Notre Dame Stadium, in the Joyce and Stadium parking lots and also around the Guglielmino Athletics Complex and the LaBar Practice Complex fields will feature NDFB125 flags.
A 360-degree megapixel photo will be taken to commemorate the Sept. 22 Notre Dame-Michigan game. Fans will be able to interact with the image via the NDFB125 Web site, tag themselves and share with friends via social media.
The 2012 Official Notre Dame Football Yearbook features a 125-year Irish football timeline, including more than 140 pages of all-new prose in a scrapbook format and more than 1,200 images. It will be published Aug. 24 and will be sold through the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore on the Notre Dame campus and via UND.com.
Each of the Notre Dame football game programs (including the version for the Notre Dame-Miami game in Chicago) features a specially-designed, eight-page pullout insert devoted to 125 years of Notre Dame football. Each insert is based on an essay dealing with an aspect of Notre Dame football history.
Covers of the football games programs feature original art by nationally-known sports artist Tim Cortes from Duluth, Minn. Cortes' work highlights the NDFB125 celebration and can be seen on all seven program covers (including the Solder Field game).
Game tickets for the 2012 home season (and the Oct. 6 Soldier Field game against Miami) include both the NDFB125 logo as well as throwback looks based on tickets from past seasons.
A one-hour television special providing a behind-the-scenes look at the Notre Dame football program will air at 2:30 p.m. EDT, on Oct. 13 (just prior to the Notre Dame-Stanford game) on NBC.
The Leprechaun Legion, the official student group liaison to the athletics department, is coordinating a celebration of student traditions over 125 years of Notre Dame football.
The Notre Dame Licensing Office has worked with a variety of its licensees to produce commercial products that include the NDFB125 logo — including everything from pins and pennants to apparel and mini-helmets.
The 2012 version of "The Shirt" features the NDFB125 logo below the back collar.
A special NDFB125 commemorative coin has been produced and is being utilized throughout the 2012 season for pre-game coin tosses. A smaller version is being produced for retail sale.
Legends of Notre Dame, located just south of Notre Dame Stadium, is displaying signage related to the celebration.
Centerplate, the University's official athletics concessionaire, has included the 125 logo on commemorative drink cups and popcorn boxes utilized throughout the 2012 football season.
The South Bend Convention and Visitors Bureau has joined in the celebrationwith a variety of programs — including streets renamed during the football season in both downtown South Bend and Mishawaka. Flags denoting NDFB125 will hang along Michigan Avenue in downtown South Bend all fall, as well as throughout downtown Mishawaka.
A large version of the official logo will appear throughout September on the side of the parking garage at Main and Colfax in downtown South Bend.
Hotels in the South Bend-Mishawaka area will feature commemorative room keycards featuring the NDFB125 logo all during the 2012 home season.

Scotland, Yorks., North-east
2nd/3rd May 1916 (Part 2)
The remaining five Zeppelins raided over Yorkshire where the weather conditions appear to have been slightly more favourable. By far the most deadly attack was that made by L.21 (Kapitänleutnant Max Dietrich). L.21 came inland near Scarborough at about 9.40pm and followed a south-east course to the south of York where she changed course to follow the railway leading into the city. Between Copmanthorpe and Dringhouses on the south-west edge she released five HE and 13 incendiary bombs. Damage was limited to broken windows but two soldiers received minor injuries. At least 16 bombs dropped on York city. An incendiary on Knavesmire caused no damage, but three HE and two incendiaries landing at Nunthorpe Hall - serving as a VAD Hospital - destroyed the roof, but none of the nursing staff or patients were injured. The next HE bomb fell in Nunthorpe Avenue, killing 28-year-old Emily Chapman and seriously injuring her sister and mother. In Upper Price Street another HE bomb made a direct hit on number 13, destroying it and seriously damaged other houses. It also killed an elderly married couple in their bed: George and Sarah Avison. Further HE bombs fell in Nunthorpe Road, Victoria Street and Price's Lane, smashing doors and windows and damaging roofs. In Newton Terrace an HE bomb injured three people and wrecked four houses. A woman was injured in Kyme Street where an HE bomb blasted doors and windows. The last HE bomb landed in St. Saviourgate where it seems a number of people were in the street watching the raid. The explosion ripped out the fronts of a number of houses. Two soldiers, Sergeant Edward Beckett and Private Leslie Hinson, were helping an elderly lady, Susannah Waudby, to reach her house in St. Saviourgate when the bomb exploded; all three died. Others killed were William Chappelow, Ernest Coultish and Benjamin Sharpe. On her way back to the coast L.21 dropped one more bomb, an incendiary, which fell harmlessly at Kirkby Grindalythe.
The raids by the remaining four Zeppelins did not quite live up to expectations. L.23 (Kapitänleutnant Otto von Schubert) came inland over Robin Hood's Bay at about 9.15pm and headed west over the North Yorkshire Moors. Over Denby High Moor von Schubert released an incendiary bomb, presumably to check his ground speed and drift; it was to have enormous consequences. He then followed a course to the north, to the ever-popular target of the Skinningrove Iron Works. Von Schubert released seven HE bombs and four incendiaries at about 10.05pm, but the only damage was a partly wrecked and burnt storehouse. A 6-in gun at Brotton opened fire on L.23, getting off three rounds. Von Schubert turned away to the east and five minutes later released six incendiary bombs over Easington, which caused injury to a child and damaged a house. L.23 then began her homeward journey.
For Casualties and Damage see Part 1
Following on behind L.23, Oberleutnant-zur-See Werner Peterson brought L.16 inland at some time prior to 10.00pm, but her movements do not become clear until she appears over Rosedale Abbey on the North York Moors at 10.30pm. Peterson saw a large fire to the north and steered towards it. The incendiary bomb dropped earlier by L.23 had caused a heather fire on the moor. Peterson believed the blaze was the town of Stockton-on-Tees and commenced to drop an undisclosed number of his own bombs on to the fire. From Danby High Moor L.16 followed the Esk valley eastwards and at around 10.50pm dropped five HE bombs on the village of Lealholm. The bombs caused slight damage to a farm building and smashed some windows but no one was injured. At about 11.15pm Peterson dropped five incendiaries harmlessly over the village of Moorsholm before commencing his homeward journey.
Kapitänleutnant Herbert Ehrlich brought L.17 inland at about 10.50pm near Saltburn, between Middlesbrough and Skinningrove. She made straight for the latter place and dropped 13 HE and four incendiary bombs, which all fell on the neighbouring village of Carlin How. The bombs wrecked six houses and blasted roof tiles off and smashed windows in many others but there were no casualties. The glow of a huge fire to the south-west then attracted Ehrlich's attention and he set a course towards it. He reported it as 'a coastal city…apparently Saltburn' but it was Danby High Moor, and at about 11.30pm, L.17 added a number of her bombs to the immense fire below. Ehrlich then headed for the coast and went back out to sea just to the north of Whitby.
The last Zeppelin involved in the raid this night, L.13 (Kapitänleutnant Eduard Prölss), came in near Whitby at about 10.30pm. After taking a south-west course she was seen at the North Yorkshire Moor's village of Goathland, and then the trace of her is lost until she reappears about 35 miles to the south near Market Weighton at about 11.40pm. It seems highly likely, however, that L.13 contributed a significant number of her bombs to the raging conflagration now engulfing Danby High Moor before reaching Market Weighton, as she only dropped two other bombs during the raid. Presumably unsure of his whereabouts, Prölss released two parachute flares over Pocklington before heading north. He dropped a single incendiary at Fridaythorpe a little before midnight, falling harmlessly in a grass field. At Rillington she turned east and at about 12.40am dropped a second incendiary at Seamer, south of Scarborough, again without damage. Then about 10 minutes later, Prölss took L.13 out to sea just to the north of Scarborough.
It is impossible to determine exactly how many bombs fell on Danby High Moor. The local police recorded 39 large craters made by explosive bombs and 7 smaller ones from incendiaries. They also reported that any which failed to explode were likely to have sunk below the boggy ground and were untraceable.
