The U.S. Marshals Service has made some progress in seizing the assets of copyright company Righthaven LLC, disclosing Thursday it has served a writ of execution on a Las Vegas bank branch.
A court filing said a writ of execution of a judgment against Righthaven was served Tuesday at a Bank of Nevada branch and that the writ says "seize all assets in the Righthaven LLC operating account and any other bank accounts belonging to Righthaven LLC." The bank branch's operations manager was served with the writ.
Shawn Mangano, an outside attorney for Righthaven, said the account contained less than $1,000 and that, despite the seizure order, Righthaven was continuing to operate Thursday.
The Marshals Service was told Nov. 1 to seize Righthaven assets to cover $63,720 in legal fees for Wayne Hoehn, a Kentucky man who defeated Righthaven in court when a judge dismissed a Righthaven copyright infringement lawsuit against Hoehn.
Since Righthaven was ordered to pay Hoehn's legal fees, it has said it is unable to allocate funds for the Hoehn judgment -- leading to charges by Hoehn's attorneys that Righthaven has been fraudulently transferring assets in hopes of avoiding paying Hoehn.
Righthaven is denying those charges and Mangano said the company plans to contest a request that Righthaven CEO Steven Gibson and his wife be ordered to appear in court for a judgment debtor's examination.
Righthaven, since March 2010, has filed 275 lawsuits claiming website operators, bloggers and message board posters had infringed on copyrights by posting material online -- without authorization -- from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Denver Post. Righthaven has suffered a series of setbacks with six judges ruling it lacked standing to sue because it didn't control the copyrights it was suing over. In addition, three lawsuits were thrown out on fair use grounds.
Besides the bank account seizure in the Hoehn case, Righthaven was hit Thursday with an order in Colorado that it pay $33,147 in legal fees and costs incurred so far by Leland Wolf of the It Makes Sense blog, who defeated Righthaven in another copyright lawsuit.
Righthaven will likely appeal the fee award as it's already appealed the order finding it lacked standing to sue Wolf.
During a 13-minute hearing in Denver before Senior U.S. District Judge John L. Kane, records show Kane "admonished Mr. Mangano for his lack of civility."
Andrew Contiguglia of the Denver law firm Contiguglia/Fazzone P.C., one of Wolf's attorneys, said the admonishment came after he asked Kane to sanction Righthaven and Mangano because Righthaven had forced the parties to have Thursday's hearing on the reasonableness of Wolf's fee request.
Kane scheduled the hearing after Righthaven didn't file a response to the fee request that was due Oct. 28 and after Kane commented in a Nov. 2 order that, "Despite my encouragement to negotiate an informal resolution of this question, the parties have failed to do so."
Righthaven's position is that it didn't object to the amount of money sought by Wolf's attorneys as Righthaven feels the fee award will be overturned by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Kane, however, suggested this information should have been communicated to the court so he and the attorneys could have avoided having Thursday's hearing. He authorized Wolf's attorneys to submit a bill for their time preparing for and attending Thursday's hearing, which he'll require Righthaven to pay. That will be on top of the $33,147 in fees he ordered Righthaven to pay Thursday.
The latest fee award is on top of one levied Oct. 26 for $119,488 in favor of Thomas DiBiase, who defeated Righthaven in yet another lawsuit.

leading to charges by Hoehn's attorneys that Righthaven has been fraudulently transferring assets
It's highly likely there were never, ever, any assets to be transferred.
A Shorewood man wants a Will County judge to clear him of a drunken driving charge because he said he became involuntarily intoxicated after taking a prescription dose of the sleep aid Ambien last year.
Thomas A. Gatz, 43, was found wearing only his underwear July 27, 2010, after he drove his car eastbound in the westbound lanes of West Jefferson Street in Joliet and caused a crash that shattered an 18-year-old womans arm, court records said.
His attorney is pointing to a doctors expert testimony that Ambien can cause sleep-walking, eating and driving.
That doctor, Haidari Shikari, also testified Gatz could have involuntarily consumed alcohol and gotten behind the wheel of his car after taking his Ambien that night.
But prosecutors said involuntary intoxication simply isnt a defense for aggravated DUI. They want Will County Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak to find Gatz guilty after a bench trial last month. The judge might render her verdict Nov. 16.
Mr. Gatz knew what he was doing when he took that drug, Assistant States Attorney Anna Rossi said.
Peter Petrakis, Gatzs attorney, said in court records his client is a paramedic with the Rosemont Fire Department and has previously worked as a paramedic and firefighter for River Forest.
Petrakis said Gatz had been using Ambien under a doctors prescription for about a year when he took two pills the night of the crash. He didnt drink alcohol, Petrakis said, and went to bed. The next thing Gatz remembered was waking up in a hospital.
Thats where Gatz learned he drove his 2010 gray Honda Civic into a Pontiac driven by Gail Darm and a Toyota driven by Lauren Eklund in the 3000 block of West Jefferson, prosecutors said.
Eklunds passenger, Valerie DeCamp, suffered multiple fractures in her arm and needed surgery, according to court records.
Gatz also learned he had been wearing only his underwear and that alcohol was found in his blood. His blood alcohol content was between 0.103 and 0.107 percent, according to court records. In Illinois, the legal limit is 0.08 percent. He also had broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a concussion.
Gatz has had trouble with Ambien before. Shorewood police ticketed him for driving under its influence in April 2010. That time, Petrakis said, Gatz intentionally got into his car, fully dressed, and drove into two light poles when the Ambien kicked in. That case was dismissed at trial.
Rossi said Gatz should have known the dangers of Ambien because of that first experience. But Petrakis said Gatz had no idea the drug could cause him to drink alcohol in his sleep, get into his car in his underwear and drive.
And though he said Gatz didnt drink before going to bed the night of the second crash, Petrakis said Gatz kept a bottle of Vodka in a refrigerator door about five feet from the cabinet where he stored his car keys.
Gatz is no longer using Ambien, Petrakis said, and wont take it again.
[Africa Review] Still making headlines all across the country, the Ghostbusters are at it again. This time, at the fashionable dance club, "The Rose." The boys in gray slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance. This is Casey Kasem. Now, on with the countdown.
If the words of a Ghanaian self-proclaimed prophet Peter Anamoah, are to be taken seriously, the only safe place on earth Friday (November 11, 2011) will be a small village near Bolgatanga in Ghana's Upper East region, some 801km north of the capital, Accra. The rest of the world will to be destroyed by God. Hey, wait a minute. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold it! Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is going to drop in on Central Park West, and start tearing up the city?
Mr Anamoah has not given the form that the world's destruction will take. "Gozer was very big among the Hittites..."
It does, however, look like not many people were taking him seriously because apart from members of the congregation of the Makara Church of which he is the founder, the rest of the population were going about their lives without any fears. "What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?"
"No, we're exterminators. Someone saw a cockroach up on twelve."
"That's gotta be some cockroach."
"Bite your head off, man."
Like many before him, Anamoah, who styles himself the 'Prophet to the Nations', has managed to convince his followers about the impending doom and some have left their jobs to follow him to Bolgatanga to await the end of the world. "Look, this wasn't here! There was *nothing* here! There was this... space! And there was a building or something with flames coming out of it, and there were creatures writhing around, and they were growling and snarling. And there were flames, and I heard a voice say "Zuul"! It was right here."
One of those followers, Mr Peter Asiedu, a technician with his own business in Accra, told the Africa Review: "I have told my family to join me, but they do not want to follow me because they think 'Prophet' Anamoah's prediction would not come to pass." "This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions."
"What do you mean, 'biblical'?"
"Some of my friends claim they have heard such predictions in the past and nothing happened. But for those of us who belong to the Makara Church, we know how God is using 'Prophet' Anamoah and believe that he has heard the word of God," Mr Asiedu added. "Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!"
In the streets of Accra and other urban centres, life had not been affected in any way. What had been the concern of many was the influence that this 'Prophet' had on members of his congregation to do his bidding without question. "Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes..."
"The dead rising from the grave!"
Some concerned relatives of 'Prophet' Anamoah's followers expressed their dismay. Mr Ebenezer Tenkorang, an uncle of a church member called Mr Bernard Owiredu, told the independent Daily Guide newspaper that his nephew, who is a university graduate, was able to convince his siblings to flee with him to Bolgatanga. "There's something very important I forgot to tell you."
"What?"
"Don't cross the streams."
"Why?"
"It would be bad."
"I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, 'bad'?"
"Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."
"Total protonic reversal."
"Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon."

During the rectification of the Vuldronaii the Traveller came as a very large and moving Torb.
Then of course in the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants they chose a new form for him, that of a Sloar.

KUWAIT: The resignation of Kuwaits Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Sabah was accepted on Tuesday and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Ali Al-Rashed appointed acting foreign minister, the state news agency reported.
The Gulf Arab state is locked in a long-running battle between the government and Parliament, which regularly challenges authority.
News agency KUNA did not give a reason for the resignation. Rashed, who is also the Kuwait governments spokesperson, declined to comment.
Earlier on Tuesday, Al-Watan and Al-Anbaa daily newspapers said that Sheikh Mohammad failed to attend the weekly cabinet meeting on Monday, a day after he missed an Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo to discuss the situation in Syria.
Maybe he was drying out over at the military hospital...

An illegal immigrant who claimed to be paralysed from the neck down but was filmed dancing at his wedding cheated more than £400,000 in benefits, a court heard yesterday.
But even though Mohamed Bouzalim, 37, has admitted dishonestly entering the country and fraudulently exploiting the welfare system, legal sources said they will face an uphill battle to deport him.
There is a strong likelihood the Moroccan will be able to remain in the UK by claiming he has a right to family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, immigration sources said.
When Bouzalim came to Britain in June 2001, he had no papers and claimed to be an Afghan national whose father had been executed by the Taliban, Isleworth Crown Court in west London was told.
Using the name Mohamed Amir Hussini, he successfully claimed asylum before constructing the extraordinary lie that he was paralysed and required 24-hour care, receiving £66,000 a year in benefits.
At the Lavish Laines tasting room in Livermore, California, each glass of wine poured represents the achievement of a remarkable winery. It's run not by experienced winemakers, but by veteran soldiers, marines and airmen: ex-military who couldn't find a job, until they found Josh Laine.
"It's all about providing for our own, and that's what I want to do- make sure the veterans are taken care of," says Laine.

One of the most encouraging things I find these days in California is visiting wineries, especially the smaller ones that are family owned and operated. These people actually work for a living and the wine is good.

"When Wine enters, out goes the Truth."
-- Benjamin Franklin
Which is probably why for politicians in the meeting tent it's not the best idea to consume the stuff. Maybe we should arrange for designated drivers and have the 'debaters' chug a few glasses just before the camera and lights go on.
Some might be wondering why the euro zone rescue focus turned to saving banks as opposed to saving governments. The reasons are illuminating. Consider the following: When a government has a debt bulge, the debt must be held as someone else's asset. The designated chump to hold a large portion of it has been the banking system, as its portfolio of assets is easily manipulated by bank regulators. This is how it works. RTWT

Banks are incented by regulators to hold âsafeâ assets as a way of making them less vulnerable to failure. Butâand youâve probably already guessed itâregulators designated euro government bonds and even subprime residential mortgage securities as the banking systemâs âsafeâ assets.
Which gets back to the base problem that 'regulators' aren't doing 'their' job, but the bidding of the people/governments over them. Consequently, regulators aren't.

I enjoyed this article. Explains some of the tricks used these days. More kick the can. Difficult subject to present clearly as he has done. Works as long as people keep their money in the bank, the real chumps.
Man can live and satisfy his wants only by ceaseless labor; by the ceaseless application of his faculties to natural resources. This process is the origin of property.
But it is also true that a man may live and satisfy his wants by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others. This process is the origin of plunder.
--"The Law"
When plunder has become a way of life for a
group of men living together in society, they create for themselves
in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral
code that glorifies it. -- "Economic Sophisms"
Still waiting for a presidential candidate that is willing to do something about this.

The whole Ponzi scheme is now finished - Governments, banks and bonds. The great social experiment that would provide cradle to the grave welfare has come to an end. The zombie just needs a stake through the heart to stop it re-resurrecting itself. Past savings have been consumed, present earnings are insufficient and the rainbow tinged projections for tomorrow are turning into dust.
Buy plenty of precious metals and stock up on ammo, as much as you can afford.
[NY Times] Lucas Papademos, a respected economist with an avuncular style, was named prime minister of Greece on Thursday. He will lead a unity government that has pledged to quickly approve the tough terms of a European aid package and save the country from bankruptcy.
The choice of Mr. Papademos, a former vice president of the European Central Bank, came after four days of tense negotiations that put Greece's feuding political parties on full display.
A written statement issued by the office of President Karolos Papoulias was read on television in the afternoon confirming Mr. Papademos's appointment and adding that the "chief role of the new interim administration will be the implementation of the decisions of the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... summit of Oct. 26 and the policies that are connected to this."

If there were no Germany the Greek government would have folded and its leader resigned much much sooner than this.

I think that Greece declaring bankruptcy would be better for them in the long run. there is no way they can pay back their debt, regardless how they got there. And shame on the EUniks for not having their countries adhere to fiscal responsibility standards that the EU set in the beginning. The EU is reaping what they sowed.

(CBS ATLANTA) - Private investigator TJ Ward said presidential hopeful Herman Cain ...the personable former Godfather's Pizza CEO and quite possibly the next president of the U.S... was not lying at a news conference on Tuesday in Phoenix.
Cain denied making any sexual actions towards Sharon Bialek and vowed to take a polygraph test if necessary to prove his innocence.
Cain has not taken a polygraph but Ward said he does have software that does something better.
Ward said the $15,000 software can detect lies in people's voices.
CBS Atlanta's Mike Paluska played Cain's speech for Ward into the software and watched as it analyzed Cain's every word.
If he is hiding something this thing would have spiked way down here," said Ward. "He is being truthful, totally truthful. He is a man with integrity and he talked directly about not knowing any incident he is accused of."
The software analyzes the stress level and other factors in your voice. During the speech, when Cain denied the claims, the lie detector read "low risk." According to Ward, that means Cain is telling the truth.
During the section of Bialek's news conference where she says, "He suddenly reached over put his hand on my leg under my skirt and reached for my genitals he also grabbed my head brought it towards his crotch."
During the analysis of that section the software said "high risk statement." Ward said that means she is not telling the truth about what happened.
"I don't think she is fabricating her meetings," said Ward. But, she is fabricating what transpired."
Ward said nearly 70 law enforcement agencies nationwide use the voice software, including the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office.
Ward said the technology is a scientific measure that law enforcement use as a tool to tell when someone is lying and that it has a 95 percent success rate.
After listening to Cain's speech and analyzing it, Ward said there is no doubt, Cain is innocent.
"When he directly talks about the allegations against him there is no high risk," said Ward. "It is low risk, which tells me he is being truthful in his conversations to the public."

On ESPN 7:00 EST Be sure to watch the video - incredible!
The Carrier Classic, a basketball game played aboard the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson docked in San Diego, appears ready to go despite earlier concerns about rain.
The video below offers a time-lapse view of the extensive preparations needed to turn the aircraft carrier into a basketball arena. Fox 5 San Diego reported that becuase of weather concerns, officials said an alternative court inside a hangar was also built, but it probably won't be needed.
"This venue is absolutely stunning and spectacular,'' Bob Mazza of Morale Entertainment, which organized the event, told the station.
Michigan State and North Carolina will square off at 4 p.m. and President Obama will be in the stands. And Magic Johnson and James Worthy will serve as honorary captains.
The transformation of the aircraft carrier started Wednesday when the same basketball court that was used for the 2011 NCAA national championship game was lifted by crane more than 14 stories and laid piece by piece, until all 258 squares snapped together.
About 7,000 seats were brought in to form an arena and the two basketball stanchions were put in place, according to The Times' Diane Pucin.

UNESCO announced Thursday that it will suspend all spending programs until the end of the year, after the United States halted its payments to the UN organization after it granted the Paleostinians full membership, AFP reported.
"This deficit corresponds to the sum due from the United States for the year 2011," UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova said, adding that "the United States have a habit of paying their contribution at the end of the year for reasons of their own budget calendar," according to AFP.
"We will not receive this sum. We will therefore have to take radical measures," she added, saying that she "suspended the entirety of [UNESCO] undertakings" until the end of the year, according to the report.
What will they do January 1, 2012, given that there will continue to be no sum coming from the United States so long as the Palestinian Territories are counted as a member?
If that's all it takes to stop a UN agency, shouldn't the US defund all of them?
Sign up now for the Carbon Management Conference! An hour and a half is devoted to this topic:
While the US did not sign the Kyoto Protocol, greenhouse gas law and regulation have developed mandating quantifications and reporting of greenhouse gases. New legal requirements for greenhouse gas emissions give rise to new business risks for all sources of greenhouse gases. However, voluntary commitments regarding greenhouse gas emissions, directly or indirectly, and carbon footprints in other venues also give risk rise?
to new areas of risk. This session introduces the new procession of carbon counting, and reviews new areas of financial and legal risks resulting from quantifying direct and indirect generation of greenhouse gas. Many more topics at the link!

If you're a parent who accepts Medicaid payments from the State of Michigan to help support your mentally-disabled adult children, you qualify as a state employee for the purposes of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). They can now claim and receive a portion of your Medicaid in the form of union dues.
Robert and Patricia Haynes live in Michigan with their two adult children, who have cerebral palsy. The state government provides the family with insurance through Medicaid, but also treats them as caregivers. For the SEIU, this makes them public employees and thus members of the union, which receives $30 out of the family's monthly Medicaid subsidy. The Michigan Quality Community Care Council (MQC3) deducts union dues on behalf of SEIU.
Michigan Department of Community Health Director Olga Dazzo explained the process in to her members of her staff. "MQC3 basically runs the program for SEIU and passes the union dues from the state to the union," she wrote in an email obtained by the Mackinac Center. Initiated in 2006 under then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm, D-Mich., the plan reportedly provides the SEIU with $6 million annually in union dues deducted from those Medicaid subsidies.
"We're not even home health care workers. We're just parents taking care of our kids," Robert Haynes, a retired Detroit police officer, told the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. "Our daughter is 34 and our son is 30. They have cerebral palsy. They are basically like 6-month-olds in adult bodies. They need to be fed and they wear diapers. We could sure use that $30 a month that's being sent to the union."
According to the Mackinac Center, the theoretical public employer for whom the Haynes' work is the Michigan Quality Community Care Council (MQC3), an entity within the DCH that continues to operate, even though the state legislature has defunded it. Even the MQC3 calls the families hiring in-home health care providers "employers of providers," but these health care providers are also treated as employers of MQC3 when it comes time each month to take dues out of their Medicaid payment and send it to the SEIU.
Mr. and Mrs. Haynes, of course, are both the parents (the employer) and the health care providers for their children, but they still lose money to the SEIU every month, despite having no interest in joining the union. They have been arbitrarily classified as state employees so that the union can take money from them.
Gov. Rick Snyder, R-Mich., already ended a similar scheme to provide unions with new "public employees" in the area of child care. His predecessor, Gov. Jennifer Granholm, D-Mich., had classified in-home daycare providers as public employees -- a designation that forced them to pay union dues but conferred no other benefits upon them. Snyder's director of the Department of Human Services ended that program. "[We] will stop all funding and, because these providers are not state employees, will also cease collecting union dues," DHS director Maura Corrigan said at the time.
Michigan's state House has already passed a bill to prevent this sort of rent-seeking by public-sector unions, but it has stalled in the state Senate.
