Malpractice is an aspect of practicing law most attorneys would prefer to not think about; however, having proper professional liability insurance coverage from the day you begin your law practice is extremely important.
The following Q&A is designed to help you better understand professional liability insurance and to determine what types of coverage might be best for you.
What does professional liability insurance cover?
A professional liability policy covers attorneys' legal liability that results from professional services and personal injury which arise out of the delivery of legal services.
What are the various types of legal services that are covered under a professional liability insurance policy?
Some of the services covered under a professional liability insurance policy may include providing legal advice for a client; acting as a mediator, arbitrator, notary public, or a title agent; or, acting as an administrator, conservator, executor, guardian, trustee, receiver, or in any similar fiduciary capacity if such services are performed in connection with and incidental to attorneys' practice of law.
What types of personal injury are covered under a professional liability insurance policy?
Personal injury under a professional liability insurance policy encompasses malicious prosecution, abuse of process, defamation, false imprisonment, and wrongful eviction.
How much liability coverage should I have?
Several factors affect how much liability coverage you should have .
Your specific area(s) of practice can be a factor as certain areas have higher frequency of claims than others. For example, attorneys for personal injury plaintiffs and real estate attorneys often have the highest number of claims.
You also should consider the monetary value of your firm's cases and consider the potential damages if a claim arose from your biggest case. Your personal assets and those of your partners also may determine your coverage limits. Typically, younger attorneys have accumulated fewer assets and may need less coverage. However, over time this will change, and your coverage should be expanded accordingly.
If you or your firm are a law corporation or limited liability partnership, check your state bar and government regulations. In California, the "Law Corporation Rules" of the State Bar of California require certain limits based on a firm's size and structure.
An experienced insurance broker can help you determine how much coverage you need and help you find the most favorable premiums.
What should I know about my professional liability insurance policy?
Your professional liability insurancepolicy will include several terms that are important to understand, such as:
Claims Made and Reported: For a claim to be covered, it must be asserted against the insured party and a written notice must be received by the insurance company within the policy term (or stipulated reporting period) in which the firm first became aware of the claim.
Full Prior Acts Coverage: Provides coverage for a claim that resulted from services rendered since the named insured's inception date. The "inception date" is normally the date a firm first purchased professional liability insurance if it has been continuously insured.
Retroactive Date Provisions: Precludes coverage for claims that are caused by wrongful acts that took place before the retroactive date, which is usually the date that the firm first purchased a policy when first starting or the time that there was a lapse in coverage, even though claims are made against the insured during the policy period.
Extended Reporting Periods (ERPs): Give an insured the right to report claims after a policy has expired or been canceled. These vary in price and range from one to seven years and in some cases (good for estate planning firms) to an unlimited time frame.
Discovery Provisions: "Notice of potential claim," "awareness," or "incident reporting provisions" allows an insured to trigger coverage under a policy for potential claims. These provisions are designed to allow the insured the opportunity to report any act, error, omission, or circumstance that the insured has a reasonable basis to believe may turn into an actual claim.
What claims should I report under my professional liability insurance policy?
Report all claims. Failure to report claims could result in denial of coverage as virtually all policies have the following exclusion: "Any claim arising out of acts, errors, or omissions that occurred prior to the effective date of this policy if, on or prior to such date, any insured knew or had a reasonable basis to believe either that a professional duty had been breached or that a claim would be made." Make sure you report all potential claims to include any request to sign a tolling agreement (see the policy for a specific definition of a claim or potential claim).
How do I obtain a professional liability insurance policy?
Young attorneys who are tasked with obtaining professional liabilityinsurance may find the process daunting. It can be beneficial during this process to work with an insurance brokerage company that has access to multiple insurance carriers and can help you determine what type of coverage you need. An insurance brokerage company also will be able to compare insurance rates and help you through the application process. In addition, you should check with your local bar association as many local bar associations offer special professional liability insurancepolicies specifically for attorneys who have only practiced a few years.

Political Analysis: Should non-Muslim supporters abandon PAS?
Written by Mohsin Abdullah of fz.com
Wednesday, 26 December 2012
PETALING JAYA (Dec 25): Following the recent public "spat" between Hu Pang Chau, the National PAS Supporters Congress chairman, and Kelantan state exco member Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan over "actions" against non-Muslims, a logical question to ask now is: Should the supporters (who are all non-Muslims) continue supporting PAS?
After all Takiyuddin has accused Hu of having "bad intentions" for bringing to the media cases of non-Muslims being "penalised" by the Kota Baru Municipal Council for alleged indecent behaviour. Then there was the unisex salon issue, also in Kota Baru, involving the enforcement of gender segregation rules.
Hu's response then was he acted "in the interest of non-Muslims" and was "defending" their rights. So back to the earlier question: should the congress and Hu in particular stay the course?
"My relationship with Takiyuddin is not affected by the issues. We are like crew members of a same ship, holding on to the belief of the PAS constitution and the same struggle. The only difference perhaps is on the approach taken," said Hu in an email response to fz.com.
Meaning he and the congress will continue to stick with PAS. To his critics that is expected. Hu has always been accused of being a "PAS apologist".
Hu nevertheless is unfazed by such accusation. "As long as the PAS constitution remains unchanged, I will continue to support the party," said Hu, adding: "I dare say I understand the objective and PAS struggle better than many party members or leaders".
To Hu, PAS' struggle is based "on true Islamic principle" and the party is fair to all – Muslims and non-Muslims which is "guaranteed" by the party constitution. Hence his support as long as the constitution remains as it is.
And he is confident the congress is playing the role of taking care of non-Muslims interests. "We have representatives in the elections and political bureaus or lajnah. Two most important lajnah in PAS," he said.
Still, are the representatives truly "functional"? "If our views and proposals are not accepted why should PAS include us in the bureaus?" was Hu's reply.
PAS has always worked towards reaching out to non-Muslims, especially the Chinese community. In the 1980s, the party established what was known as the Chinese Consultative Council. In 2004, the PAS Supporters Club was set up. And in 2010, the club was upgraded to become the current congress as PAS sought to get more non-Muslims to play a bigger role in the party.
The congress is placed on par with the other wings in PAS, namely Dewan Ulama, Dewan Pemuda, Dewan Muslimah – hence its official name Dewan Himpunan Penyokong PAS. And it boasts some 30,000 members nationwide, comprising Indians, Chinese, Iban and Malaysians of Thai descent.
But is the congress effective in "helping" PAS?
"Years ago even the sight of a PAS member wearing the kopiah will frighten away non-Muslims, especially the Chinese. Now we have non-Muslims campaigning for PAS carrying the party flags, wearing PAS T-shirts. It's like a miracle. Yes, the congress has been effective. But to what extent I can't say as I do not have a barometer," said a PAS activist.
Hu, understandably, has good words for his outfit. "In the early days, when I went to Chinese areas not even a single Chinese turned up for PAS ceramah. Not even for tea party. Now we get big crowds of non-Muslims at PAS ceramah, not only in the peninsula but also Sabah and Sarawak," he said.
That PAS sees the congress as priceless is given. Said PAS director of election Dr Hatta Ramli: "The formation and inception of the congress is a significant milestone for PAS. For non-Muslims to support PAS so dearly is something unthinkable just a decade ago.
"The congress is an asset for our struggle. It can further soften our image, increase our tolerance and implement a diversity of approaches."
For the 13th GE, PAS will field members of the Supporters Congress. "The congress will likely be entrusted to attract support of non-Muslims not just as election strategists and workers but also as candidates both for the DUN (state legislative assembly) and parliament levels.
"It will take PAS a long way into a new era of inclusive politics. I foresee this as a breakthrough for PAS in national and mainstream politics," said Hatta.
Hu confirmed that PAS will field the congress members in Sarawak and Johor with "Kedah, Perak, Melaka as possibility".
According to a political observer, should PAS field them in Malay-majority constituencies to face Umno candidates, the pressure will be on Umno.
"Umno being Malay/Muslim will be hard pressed to justify fighting a non-Muslim who believes in the struggle of an Islamist party," he said. But contesting in non-Muslim areas can be "equally good" as it can "enhance the PAS politics of inclusiveness image".
Whatever it is, will Hu himself contest in the coming election? "I leave it to PAS Pusat (Central PAS) to decide as "it is not PAS culture to ask," he said.
By the way, have the "unisex salon" and "indecent behaviour issues" been settled?
"The issues will not be what the media made it out to be if they are solved fast and efficiently. All regulations seen as not suitable anymore should be reviewed and upgraded in accordance to the powers of the state or local government," said Hu.
And he went on to say: "As said numerous times by PAS president Tuan Guru Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, Islamic laws or regulations will not be imposed on non-Muslims. If we hold on to such principle, the salon issue for one can be resolved amicably."

Term limit rules questioned
Date: October 14, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Mayor Lee Rothenberg may not have to step down in March after all.
If a proposal by Vice Mayor Robert Siekmann receives positive reviews by his fellow commissioners at the Thursday, Nov. 19 regular workshop, Rothenberg may be allowed to run for another two-year term.
Siekmann's proposal stems from a resolution that the commission adopted in 2006.
The resolution allowed Commissioner Peter O'Connor to finish out two months of a partial term without affecting his ability to run for three consecutive two-year terms once his partial term ended.
Town Attorney David Persson crafted the resolution after O'Connor expressed a desire to fill the partial term as long as it didn't count against his future full terms.
The resolution also allowed Commissioner George Spoll, who served three months of a partial term starting in December 2004, to serve three, consecutive terms that will expire in March 2011.
But Rothenberg served a partial term before the resolution was adopted.
The mayor served a partial term starting in October 2004 and then was forced to run for his District 1 seat in March 2005 for the remainder of the term that only had one year left. And Rothenberg had to run again for his seat in March 2006. Therefore, Rothenberg will have lost five months of service when he steps down in March because of term-limit rules.
Spoll and O'Connor, meanwhile, were able to serve three consecutive two-year terms (if O'Connor is re-elected in March), plus whatever length of time they were appointed for a partial term.
Siekmann would like the resolution to be amended, allowing commissioners to serve the remainder of a partial term and still be eligible for three consecutive two-year terms once the partial term expires.
Siekmann believes amending the resolution would possibly entice newcomers who would come forward to fill partial terms in the future if commissioners resign.
"Every commissioner should have the right to three consecutive two-year terms," Siekmann said. "We should encourage people to accept appointments by letting them know they won't be a lame duck that will have to run for their existing seat in less than a year's time."
Rothenberg, who could not be reached for comment, has not made it known whether he would consider running for an additional term if the resolution were amended.
Meanwhile, O'Connor and Spoll were not in favor of Siekmann's suggestion.
O'Connor said he would consider the proposal if it were brought to the commission's attention.
"But I'm not sure if I would be supportive of that," O'Connor said.
Spoll refuted the suggestion altogether.
"The present policy is perfectly appropriate," Spoll said.

- A Commissioner should be limited to 3 two year terms, period. 4 term Hal, who is now running for a 5th term should have been stopped when he applied for a 4th term; however by sitting out for 2 years was allowed to start all over again and thus could become 6th term Hal.

Eye disorders that affect vision can be divided into two groups, including the following:
Refractive errors are seen in almost 20 percent of children. The following are the most common refractive errors, all of which affect vision:
The following are some causes of nonrefractive errors:
Signs and symptoms of glaucoma may include excessive tearing, light sensitivity (photophobia), closure of one or both eyes in the light, cloudy, enlarged cornea, one eye may be larger than the other, and vision loss. Treatment of glaucoma usually involves surgery. Without treatment, blindness may occur.
The majority of congenital cataracts (those present at birth) are present in children who also have other eye problems or other health problems. In approximately 25 percent of children born with congenital cataracts, the condition is due to a genetic cause, such as a metabolic disorder (caused by an inherited enzyme deficiency) or a chromosome abnormality (such as, Down syndrome).
Signs and symptoms of a cataract may include the following:
Treatment of cataracts usually involves surgery.
Signs and symptoms of retinoblastoma may include:

Last week, InXpo Inc., the Chicago-based virtual event company, announced a partnership with Maritz, its second deal with a major meeting and event company in the past two months.
InXpo will be Maritz's preferred provider of virtual environments for meetings and events, as part of the recently launched Maritz LIVE suite of e-meeting services.
In April, InXpo announced a similar partnership with marketing and events agency George P. Johnson.
The partnerships not only drive corporate business to InXpo, but also provide clients with strategic services around a meeting or event—such as marketing, ROI measurement, and speaker selection and training. "We thought that if we built the technology everyone would know what to do with it. That's not the case," says Malcolm Lotzof, CEO of InXpo. "We need a partner who knows how to do that."
InXpo provides customized online meeting sites that allow attendees to view webinars, download information at virtual tradeshow booths, and interact via text chat, among other features. While not a 3D, immersive experience like Second Life, the business-oriented online venues require no downloads or user training. Unisfair, On24, and 6Connect are among the other companies competing in this market space, termed by Maritz totally virtual environments.
InXpo turned its sights on the corporate market only late last summer. Launched in 2003, the company had focused mainly on the exposition market, working closely with media companies, such as Pennwell, Ziff Davis, and IDG. "With the economic recession, Corporate America started focusing on virtual events," says Lotzof. "Business is skyrocketing."
Comparing InXpo's first quarter 2008 to first quarter 2009, tells the story: The number of corporate events was "in the teens" this year compared to none last year, Lotzof says. And looking at all InXpo events, business has more than doubled this year versus last. "The challenge is to grow the business fast enough," he says. A statistic Lotzof says is telling of the company's success: 95 percent of the trade shows and 75 percent of the internal events that InXpo has hosted have drawn more attendees than were expected.
In other news, InXpo announced today an integration with the microblogging tool Twitter. Event attendees can now post short Twitter messages without leaving the virtual environment. One benefit to event producers: the show's hashtag (the convention for making Twitter posts trackable and searchable) will be automatically inserted on each post, providing valuable event promotion. Organizers will also be able to track the number of tweets sent out from the show, among other metrics.

The Wisconsin Retirement System includes all teachers in Wisconsin tax-supported schools and other agencies. The new participation requirements differ from previous ones in that the employer is required to review a person's eligibility for WRS at the end of each year of employment rather than at the end of two years. The new law provides that, except for specific exclusions listed in Section 40.22(2), Stats., the following factors determine when an employee becomes a participating employee under the retirement system:
Act 13 provides that for teachers employed on or after July 1, 1989 and for all others employed on or after January 1, 1991--whether a continuing employee or a new hire--the employer must immediately include the employee under the WRS if the employee is EXPECTED TO WORK at least one-third of what is considered full-time employment (440 hours for teachers or 600 hours for non-teachers) for at least one year. (One year is 365 consecutive days, 366 in leap year, from date of hire.)
Employees who first become covered by WRS on or after January 1, 1990 (this includes persons who close their WRS accounts by taking a benefit and then are employed in covered positions) must have service in at least 5 years to be eligible for retirement benefits. Those who do not meet the 5-year requirement are eligible for separation benefits and comparable death benefits regardless of age.
Legislation was enacted in 1984 to substantially improve retirement benefits for career public employees in the WRS. To help pay for the benefit improvements a mandatory "Benefit Adjustment Contribution" was instituted. The Benefit Adjustment Contribution is a mandatory employee contribution that is not credited to your individual account but is used to fund overall system benefit liabilities.
|Employment Category

Rates Effective 1/1/96

and Teachers

|Elected Officials and State Executive Retirement Plan Employees
The benefit will always include the full amount of required and additional contributions you made (or employee-required contributions which were paid for you by your employer), plus accumulated interest.
The amount of the death benefit payable from your retirement account will vary depending on your age at the time of death, your creditable service, the amount of accumulated contributions in your account, and the relationship of your beneficiary(ies).
If your covered employment began before 1966, the death benefit may also include employer contributions made to your account prior to 1966, plus interest credited to date of payment.
If you die as an active employee past the age of 60 (55 for protective occupations), and your beneficiary is your spouse and/or dependent child(ren), the death benefit includes matching employer contributions. The amount of the benefit is determined as though you retired on the date of death and selected a joint survivorship annuity continued in full to your spouse or dependent child(ren).After Retirement
If your death occurs after retirement, benefits are determined according to the annuity option you chose at the time you retired. If you chose the option AFor Annuitant's Life Only,@ the benefit will be paid to you for as long as you live and will end at your death. Other options are available, such as life annuities with a guaranteed number of payments, and joint survivor options, that do provide a death benefit. Generally, joint survivor options provide better death benefit protection to a surviving spouse than the other options.Disability
The program provides for disability benefits which are the same benefits to which the member would have been entitled if the member had been at retirement age. In order to qualify for the disability benefit the member:
The formula method of computing the monthly annuity benefit is based on the following four factors:
Actuarial reduction of .4% per month of age under the normal retirement age is decreased by .001111% for each month of creditable service, with a maximum of 360 months used to give an unreduced benefit at age 57. The full .4% per month reduction applies for months between ages 55 and 57.
Creditable military service - An employee who has 5 to 20 years of creditable service under the Wisconsin Retirement System may be granted credit for military service (maximum of 1 year for each 5 years of creditable service up to a total of 4 years) provided:
To receive credit an employee should submit military discharge papers after the 20 year requirement has been satisfied, or at the time of retirement, whichever occurs first.
Annuitants who return to covered employment will have an earnings limit of 7.2 times the final average monthly earnings at retirement. Earning limits will be provided to the annuitant and employer from Wisconsin Retirement.

While some people think marriage is the end-all of fun, it just isn't true. Sure, getting married is a big, life-changing step, but that doesn't mean the good times have to stop. In fact, being married to the one you love gives you a new kind of enjoyment. You just need to embrace the change it brings to your life! With a bit of effort and some helpful reminders, you can keep the laughter flowing and the bliss bubbling.
1. Sex is better! Yup, you read that right. "Married people are more satisfied with their sex lives than singles," says StayHitched.com marriage counselors Patty and Greg Kuhlman, PhD. You'd think singles mixing it up would be more satisfied with their sex lives, but it's the opposite. The steady sexual flow between committed partners creates a bond and makes sex even more comfortable and exciting. Try to have new experiences with your honey from time to time to keep the romance revved up.

2. Marriage is what YOU make it. You and your spouse are the ones in control of the show. Don't fall into the same patterns by watching the same TV programs every night or cooking the same meals. This doesn't mean you have to be wild and spontaneous everyday; it just means that you have to make your daily life what you want it to be. As HeartAndSoul-Mates.com matchmaker Melanie Matcek explains, "Marriage is a continuum of an already beautiful, thriving relationship. You both must continue to nurture your relationship. Be wary of complacency."
3. Have double the entertainment. Marriage means you have someone to share all your awesome times with. "When you're married, you have a permanent cuddle buddy who's not your cat," remarks author of "Hearts on the Line" Marla Martenson. "There are trips to plan, home improvements to make, dinner parties to host, and goals to achieve. Having a soul mate to go through life with is a huge adventure that should be filled with lots of fun times." Plan activities to do together -- like playing doubles tennis or learning a new language -- and enjoy the thrill of having that special person by your side as you share an experience.
4. You're always with your best friend. Your spouse should be your best friend as well as your lover. "Marrying your best friend and agreeing to take on life together is going to lead a couple down a road that will always be stimulating, but let's be clear: There will be dry spells. That's the nature of life in general," suggests marriage and family therapist David Simonsen, PhD. "If the focus is on enjoying life's challenges, the outcome will be a relationship that never gets old and tired." Stroll into a whole new realm of joy with your partner as you prepare for life's little hiccups together.

5. Your spouse is NOT a ball and chain. Dating expert Lindsey Slosberg says, "For some, the idea of getting married translates to a prison sentence! For many, it's not the commitment to one person that poses a problem; it's the change in your social life. You may find yourself spending more time with couples, and your interests may expand to include that of your partners. Roll with it. Embrace it."

Fastest 100 meters ever
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.

Fastest 100 meters ever
Michael Johnson's Atlanta Olympics 19.32WR had 100m splits, I recall, of 10.12 and 9.2.
Isn't it reasonable to say that Johnson's 10.12 around a turn might be the fastest 100m ever run?
The proof would be the average differential in the 200/220 PRs of great furlong runners who recorded times both on the straightaway and on the curve . . . sprinters from Jesse Owens to Bobby Morrow to Tommie Smith. My guess is that the average differential in their straight vs. curve PRs is 0.4 seconds.
If so, Johnson's 10.12 is the equal of a 9.72.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
to split hairs:
1. it is obviously not the FASTEST because 9.78 is faster than 10.12. And 9.69 is the fastest ever anyway. (wa - alt Thompson 96)
2. You are assuming MJ is as inefficient a curve runner as the others. He certainly was a much better curve runner.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
MJ split 8.9 in the 3rd 100 of a 400 one time. Can't remember if it was a relay leg or an individual race. The writeup was in a T&FN a couple years back.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
but that was a running start. The fastest there is probably Bob Hayes' 8.6
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
The splits for the top 3 in Atlanta in the 200 were: 10.12-9.20
Carl's split in L.A. in '84 was 10.23.
Using Karlgaard's logic Fredericks, Boldon + Carl all ran their fastest ever 100 out of the blocks in a 200m race. How likely is that? Let's get real. No matter how fantastic that 19.32 is Johnson was a 10.1 sprinter out of the blocks in the 100. If he could run in the 9.7s or 9.8s he would surely have tried it during his long career. I would rank him behind Tommie Smith and McKenley in the 100 the only other 2 with similar talent. I cant't remember what Henry Carr did in the 100.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
Pete --
You actualy make my point. MJ's first 100 meters in Atlanta was FASTER than some sub 9.9 runners.
MJ ran an out-of-the-blocks 10.12 around a curve at near sea level. That's astonishing. "Tafnut" says, well, MJ was more efficient than most around the curve. I won't argue with that.
But let's quantify what efficient means.
History says the great furlong runners like Owens, Morrow and Smith ran about 0.4 seconds slower around the curve. If MJ was more efficient, let's assume his penalty was 0.3 seconds.
That means MJ ran the equivalent of a straight 9.82 in his first 100 meters in Atlanta. Not the fastest of all-time, but up there.
He was a career 10.1 runner you say? Well, how many times did he actually run the 100m during his peak years? With a multi-million dollar income, why would he risk it?
MJ's 19.32 (at low altitude) is the best men's record, IMHO. It will last 20 years.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
Per! (Not Pete!) Sorry, too early in the AM.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
In The Guinness Book of Track & Field Facts & Feats, Peter Matthews said that 200m times around a curve are generally 0.3 to 0.4 seconds slower than straightaway times. Empirical evidence using world lists from the 20s and 30s bears it out. Any physicists out there care to do the calculations for energy requirements?
Don't forget, we never got splits for Tommy Smith's 19.5 for 220y on a straightaway. I don't know what kind of surface it was on; taking different running surfaces into account, today's top sprinters may not be much faster than Hayes and Smith.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
>He was a career 10.1 runner you say?
>Well, how many times did he actually run the 100m
>during his peak years?
10.09 @ '94 nattys in knoxville.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
I'm thinking .2 efficient as in I doubt that's worth better than a 9.92, but that is also amazing when you think he's only halfway thru the race. The 9.20 second half is amazing because the big guys only run .84 - .84 as the fastest 10 meters in the really fast 100's so he was holding speed pretty darn well.

Actually, Atlanta is not near sea level; 991ft (302m) up actually. You have to add at least a few 100ths to his time for that aid compared to actual sea-level.
As an aside, note that before Coors Field came along at ultra-altitude to throw baseball numbers out of whack, recall that the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium was known as "The Launching Pad" because of the number of homers hit there. Guess why that happened.
ps--maybe some native Atlantan can confirm a story I heard at the Olympics: the altitude of Atlanta is such that despite there being about 111 different streets in Atlanta with the word "peach" in them no peach trees grow within many miles of the city. True?
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
Two reasons-
1. altitude
2. the Braves pitching was consistently some of the worst in baseball for the first 20+ years the stadium existed.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
yeah, but Hank Aaron wasn't hitting off the Braves' pitchers!
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
Yeah, but the launching pad boosted old Henry's totals. He was slowing down until he got new life down there.
This is b.s. comparing MJ to the best 100 meter men. C'mon. You're comparing apples and oranges, to use a worn out analogy.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
I do take Split Times of Track and Field races from my Video-Tape Analysis and when I looked very closely at the tape(after many attempts,with 10.12s and 10.13s),I found Michael Johnson at the 100m mark in 10.14s. So his corrected 100m Splits were 10.14s/9.18s. And according to JRM's calculations a 10.12s curve is worth 9.94s for a 'normal' 100m runner. So MJ's 10.14s which I found is worth around 9.96s. And he didn't train for the 100m. So if he trained for it, he would of run around 9.76s-9.80s. But's that just my opinion. And who said that MJ ran an 8.9s Split for the 3rd 100m of a 400m race??? That's absolutely obscene the Fastest ever 3rd 100m of a Men's 400m race taken by Sientific or Video-Tape Analysis research is 10.10s by Alberto Juantereno(CUB) in 1976. The Fastest 100m section of 400m race was made by Jerome Young(USA)9.86s 100m-200m in the 1996 USA Olympic Trials.
I'll have to check my corrected (and combined figures from other research) 10m Splits of Michael Johnson's 200m World Record in Atlanta OG in '96 to find his Fastest 100m Split.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
Track is full of voodoo conversions and approximations, which should be taken with appropriate grains of salt, but somebody thinks they've come up with a formula for equating turn-running 100s to real 100s? C'mon!
We've all seen little squatty guys who eat up the turns and on the other side of the coin the daddylonglegs characters who are fighting like mad to get a normal stride. To say there's one calculation that would accomodate these two opposing somatotypes is frivolous.
That tight little stride MJ used obviously made him a great turn runner. (And somehow he figured out how to make it work for another 100 metres--wow!)
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
First Bill Carr and now Bernie Wefers! Where will it end? I'm waiting for Lon Myers to chime in, and maybe Horry Lee or Billy Byrd Page.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever

>will it end? I'm waiting for Lon Myers to chime

Bunch of kids.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
I found it. The Fastest 100m Split Time from the Splits that I took from MJ's 19.32s in Atlanta OG 1996 was; 8.76s from 40-140m. His Fastest 10m Split that I took during that race was a 0.86s which he did no less than 4 or 5 times.
He is thought to of had either a 0.84s or 0.85s Split according to other 'Analysists'.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
>Two reasons-
1. altitude
2. the Braves
>pitching was consistently some of the worst in
>baseball for the first 20+ years the stadium
The stadium also had a lot of effects outside of altitude because the current stadium sits right across the street (the old Olympic stadium reconfigured). Of course reason #2 was a big reason, but the Braves players also hit a lot of homers. One year 3 players hit 40 or more homers (Johnson, Aaron and Evans). That was when 40 HR was a big number. Humidity might be a factor as well although being at about 1000 feet is a factor (BTW, I think the current stadium is now the third highest behind Coors (~5200 feet) and possibly the BOB in Phoenix (Phoenix and Atlanta are at about the same elevation).
Braves fan since I was old enough to know what baseball was.
Re: Fastest 100 meters ever
Could be the "launching pad" has to do with density altitude. This is a phenomenon well known to pilots. Example: Lake Tahoe is 6200 feet. But on an 80 degree day, a plane's wings and prop will get no more lift out of South Lake Tahoe's airport than if the airport was at 9,000 feet on a 60-degree day.
I vaguely recall the air temperature during MJ's WR was in the high 80s/low 90s. So the density altitude may have been around 4,000 feet.
Now, whether density altitude affects runners as it does wings and props, I have no idea. Is there a physicist in the crowd?

Louis Uchitelle writes on economics topics for The New York Timesand other publications. He is the author of The Disposable American: Layoffs and Their Consequences.
The U.S. may soon reach the point where it can't rebuild its manufacturing base.
Manufacturing, says Andrew N. Liveris, thrives in countries that have plenty of customers and a government that significantly supports industry. Right now, he continues, the United States is down the list on both counts.
The challenge is to raise U.S. workers' rights to the level that European workers enjoy -- not to lower their rights to our level.
Seated on a folding chair in a cramped union office in New York, Wilhelm Ado, a visiting German labor leader, explained through an interpreter that he had come to help American workers do what they can no longer do easily on their own -- organize themselves into effective unions.
The Roaring Nineties
By Joseph E. Stiglitz, W.W. Norton and Company, 379 pages, $25.95
Like many academic economists, Joseph E. Stiglitz went into government hoping to tutor as well as to serve. Unlike most, Stiglitz has significant doubts about whether markets usually work as advertised. His research in this genre won him the Nobel Prize. Stiglitz's four-year stint in the Clinton White House was marked by the tension between his own powerful views and the pressure on a high public official to be a loyal team player.

Touch Expense, by MobiApps, is an iPhone application designed for tracking your expenses.
Touch Expense is an innovative and easy way to put your daily expenses. Insert and tracking your daily expenses has never been faster and enjoyable.
I'm not sure how I feel about the UI for entering in expenses. You must slide your fingers up (and down) the big circular sliders to enter the amounts - the left one is for dollars and the right one is for cents. Having a keypad pop up would be faster, in my opinion. The look of the UI, however, is really neat and makes me want to get used to the entry method. In fact, the look reminds me of my favorite weight tracking app, Weightbot.
Touch Expense is available on the iPhone for $1.99. Screenshots after the break.
Have an app you'd love to see featured on TiPb? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, tell us about your app (include an iTunes link), and we'll take a look.

We are working to put a keypad as an option to insert the values, and also several new features for future versions.

This year's Consumer Electronics Show will have three major themes.
The PC industry will try to prove it's not dead. Mobile giants will argue that the smartphone is the new digital hub. And TV makers will offer a few more desperate pitches to get consumers to buy based on something other than price. (Read More: Five Hot Gadgets Expected at CES 2013)
Let's start with the PC industry. Last year the big pitch was ultrabooks— thin, light laptops that were going to one-up Apple's MacBook Air. Ultrabooks were all over Intel's booth, and PC OEMs like Hewlett-Packard and Acer showed off quite a few, too. (Read More: Three New Apple Patents Hint at the Future of Gadgets)
My problem with the ultrabook, at the time? They were too expensive for the mainstream Windows audience, with virtually every model I saw topping $800. They also relied on Intel chips that weren't quite ready as of show time.
This year is different—and the same. The hope of the PC ecosystem in 2013 will be touchscreen laptops running Microsoft's Windows 8. But last year's price problem persists.
A full Windows 8 experience demands a touchscreen laptop, but the components are still too expensive. (Read More: No Sales Pop for a New Version of Windows)
Intel executives said during a recent earnings call that they'd be working in the first half of the year to get touch component prices down, and a major PC manufacturer told me recently that we'll only start seeing touchscreen laptops hit the magic $500 price in the second half of the year.
What else? Expect a lot of competition in touchscreen all-in-one PCs in the wake of the Windows 8 launch. And expect PC makers to try their darnedest to blur the lines between the (hot) tablet and the (less hot) laptop by pitching machines with touchscreens and detachable keyboards. It'll make for great eye candy, but I bet it's nothing that will stoke mainstream PC demand.
This year's CES opening keynote billing says it all: Paul Jacobs, the CEO of Qualcomm, isn't a PC guy like previous keynoter Steve Ballmer. He's a wireless and mobile guy. And CES is becoming—by accident, almost—a wireless and mobile show.
I remember the first CES I covered, more than a decade ago. Bill Gates was keynoting, WiFi wasn't mainstream yet, and Microsoft was this feared behemoth that was going to extend its PC dominance into everything. (Gates introduced the PC-inspired Xbox that year.) That was the high point for the PC's ambitions for expansion. (Read More: Microsoft Acquires Start-Up id8: Source)
Windows in the car never took off. Ditto for Windows in the TV and Windows on the cell phone.
Now the mobile giants are making a very viable run at the same goal. The soul of the smartphone has already invaded the PC's turf in the form of a tablet; I think we can all agree now that tablets are cannibalizing PC sales.
Smartphones and tablets have disrupted the game console through wireless connections and apps that allow them to become networked game consoles. Both devices are displacing music players, digital cameras, camcorders and alarm clocks. The next frontiers will be televisions and cars. (Read More: Apple Testing New iPhone, iOS 7: Report)
I wouldn't bet on hearing much about TVs or cars during Jacobs's keynote; I expect him to talk broadly about how smartphones are changing the world and how Qualcomm's newest Snapdragon chip will extend its lead in smartphones, and grow its share in tablets and PCs. But walk the show floor and there will be no mistake— some of the most impressive gadgets, from stereo equipment to car alarm systems to remote controlled helicopters and robots will all be linked to smartphone apps.
Which brings us to televisions. TVs are always the stars of CES; all the biggest booths are dominated by hulking sets that the mega-brands use like wallpaper. Early in the show the TV brands show off their largest panels (they're topping 90 inches on LED TVs these days).
This year in particular though, much of the TV business is also facing a crisis. It's been commoditized.
Take a look at the holiday season stats. TV sets 60 inches and larger saw their sales jump 10 times over their 2010 levels on Black Friday, driven by lower prices, according to research firm NPD. That might seem like good news, except overall flat-panel TV revenue was down six percent from last year. Customers are mainly buying the cheapest TV they can get for the money.
That's the challenge for a company like Sony, where new CEO Kaz Hirai is trying to stabilize the TV division's massive losses and turn around the company. That's why Sony has been pushing new technologies like 3D, which has never caught on as a demand-driver for shoppers, and 4K— a new HD format that delivers four times the resolution of today's best-known HD option, 1080p.
Will consumers buy 4K? It seems unlikely in the near-term. It can be hard enough to find content on cable that takes full advantage of 1080p resolution—there's none available in 4K. That means consumers have to invest in upgrading their Blu-Ray disc collection to content that can play on 4K.
One way Sony is trying to ease the pain of converting to an entirely new media format is by giving its customers access to 4K content.
Buyers of Sony's 84-inch 4K set, which costs a cool $25,000, get a loaner server stocked with 10 Sony movies in 4K format.
What might have a better chance of selling TVs is software— though that hasn't caught on in a big way, either. Google continues to push its Google TV software, which seeks to make it easier for TV viewers to stream and schedule programming. Intel is rumored to be working on a new set-top box and service that would deliver on-demand programming; and of course, Apple is looking for ways to turn its TV hobby into a bigger play. (Read More: What Apple TV Will Do to Stock: Munster)
This year we're likely to hear a lot more from Google TV partners hoping the software finally catches on.

OK, quick and easy question ( I hope).
Building surround for drop -in whirlpool, walls up. Soon to attach the 3/4 plywood & 1/2 cement board on top. Question to those more experienced: Should I use the 1/2 cement board or use 1/2 hardie backer? Is there really much of a difference?

Thank you for responding. Interesting question for tub deck waterproofing. I have two bathroom guide books and neither one talks about waterproofing the tub deck. I was just going to use cement board and then tile. I had no waterproofing plan. If you have a suggestion for waterproofing I would love to hear it. In addition I just built the shower bench and was going to cement board on that. Should I water proof that also?
I have three things going on which I will post pictures of.
1.Whirlpool as one walks into the bathroom. I finished the tub frame but did not cut it out yet as I was using the tub frame top (plywood) to put my ladder on has I construct the top of the wall for the walk in shower right behind it. Should I cut out & then waterproof? what should I use?
2. On top of that shower wall I built I left a triangle opening (it is a catheral ceiling bathroom) where I am putting 3/8 inch tempered glass to maximize the sky light over the shower.
3. Shower bench I just finished yesterday. I still have to re-wire most of the electrical lines.
Any tile installation that will have significant water exposure needs to be waterproofed. If the guidebooks you've been using
somehow omitted that fact, you'd best chuck them in the dumpster right now. There would be some latitude on the
whirlpool, but certainly not for the shower bench. As for the cement board vs Hardiebacker, that's mostly a personal
preference, and a lot depends on the installation details, which I note you completely omitted.
Cement board isn't destroyed by water, but it is by no means waterproof. A properly built shower can be used even before the tile is up and not leak...the tile is the wear/finish layer, NOT the waterproofing layer. Having a wooden shower bench inside of the shower is just asking for problems. You have to waterproof OVER it so it is functionally OUTSIDE the shower (like the studs), if you want it to last (and remember, CBU is NOT waterproof). There are various ways to do this: sheet membranes or paint/roll/trowel on waterproofing systems. It must be done properly and not be haphazard. If you try to wing it, it will probably fail. ALso, keep in mind that the top surface of the bench that is waterproofed, must slope towards the drain and can't be level or it will pool water and fail. At the least, water will keep the grout dark and promote mold growth. The slope is critical as is the waterproofing. There are a couple of industry standards that describe ways to do this correctly; one of them is the TCNA handbook (Tile Council of North America). They are not all that DIY'er friendly, but they do describe various approved, tested methods on how to do things in tile that work. The handbook does not mention product brands, only methods, so you then have to choose a method and then the product to use.

I want to thank everyone for responding and helping me avoid a costly mistake. My plan was to do the shower area with the Schluter system. As such I have decided to use the Kerdi membrane on the tub deck and the shower bench. If I have the sequence right; thinset on the plywood, then the cement board with roofing nails, more thinset on the cement board, then Kerdi and then tile.
Just as a side note, in the current project I ripped out the 3x3 shower and a hugh 6x6 whirlpool the builder installed 25 years ago. There was no cement board anywhere in the bathroom and no waterproofing that I could see. The tile on the tub deck was glued directly to the plywood and directly on the 2x6 boards they used for steps.
I forgot to mention: the shower bench is 14 inchs wide with a 1/4 tilt towards the drain.

SOme people end up splashing lots of water, then consider the house and the humidity levels, and how often the thing is used. A soaker used maybe once a week isn't exposed to much moisture. A shower, on the other hand, might get used multiple times a day. But, industry standards show proven construction methods that work in any environment and last.

It is always something!
Sunday took the Jacuzzi out of the box to install & almost did without testing it. Decided better & tested on driveway in 31 degree weather with cold winds and light snow. Filled up with garden hose & turned on. Looked good except for one jet that was hard to see. My wonderful wife rolled her sleeve up and stuck her hand in the freezing cold water to feel the jet and it was weak. Further examination disclosed the factory installed hose that carried water to the jet was kinked preventing adequate water flow. Back to the store it went.
Morale of the story? Follow the instructions and test before you install.
In one of your future remodeling bouts, you might consider one of the hose bibs that can give you hot and cold water...at least a couple of companies make them, Moen and Woodford among them. It makes it much nicer doing things when it is cool/cold outside. Wash the car on a fair winter day with warm or hot water, for example, or fill your tub to check it out!

Pros – Microsoft allows an individual to have a career maintained with one company because there are so many technologies to work with, and numerous organizations as well.
Cons – Policies around performance review are severly antiquated and do not have concrete, measurable goals that are guaranteed to further your career.
Advice to Senior Management – Get rid of any type of labels altogether (e.g. level 65, contribution rating, job title, etc..). For commitments, have 2 - achived and didn't achieve. Reward greatness on a case by case basis. This will help people focus on their job and ignore distractions like who got what.

Brewers baseball and neighborhood block parties are two Milwaukee summer traditions that have been enjoyed for years.
The neighborhood block party season is quickly approaching and the Brewers again have scheduled three "Brewers Block Parties" this summer throughout the Milwaukee area. This marks the fifth season the Brewers have hosted the events throughout the community. The 2011 Brewers Block Parties are supported by the events' presenting sponsor, U.S. Bank, as well as the team's broadcasting partners, Newsradio 620 WTMJ and FS Wisconsin.
All Brewers Block Parties will feature appearances from Brewers players and coaches, Bernie Brewer and the Klement's Famous Racing SausagesTM, and Brewers radio personalities. Raffle prizes featuring Brewers game tickets, game-used memorabilia and other autographed items will also be given away to fans in attendance each day. The Brewers merchandise trailer will be on hand with the latest in Brewers apparel. Free hot dogs, soda and potato chips (compliments of Klement's, Pepsi and Sportservice, respectively) will be provided for roughly 300 people.
All Block Parties are scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m. and will conclude by 1:00 p.m. Players and coaches will arrive around 11:30 a.m. and will attend for approximately 45 minutes. The players will first participate in a Q&A session, followed by an autograph session. Like last year, the list of specific player appearances will not be announced in advance.
In the first four years of the Brewers Block Parties, over 25,000 people have enjoyed activities throughout the metro area. The Block Parties were cited in an issue of ESPN The Magazine's "Fan Satisfaction Ratings" as a way the team works "to help spread Brewers love."
The names of Brewers players and coaches attending the Brewers Block Parties will not be posted in advance. There will be approximately eight player stations set up for autographs at the event, and a maximum of 150 free autograph tickets will be distributed at each of the eight stations the morning of the party. The ticket distribution will be discontinued once the players and coaches arrive at the event. No more than one ticket will be given to any fan to ensure that as many people receive autographs as possible. Players will be randomly assigned to the stations as they arrive at the event.

Dentist inventor of full-body CT scanner dies
Kensington, Md.—Robert S. Ledley, a dentist and biomedical researcher who developed the first full-body CT scanner, died here on July 24 at 86, reported the New York Times.
Born in Queens, N.Y., June 28, 1926, Dr. Ledley earned his D.D.S. at New York University in1948. He studied physics at Columbia University and earned a masters degree in physics in 1950. He also earned a masters degree in mathematics.
After serving in the Army Dental Corps during the Korean War, Dr. Ledley worked in Washington at the National Bureau of Standards' Dental Materials Section.
Dr. Ledley's full-body scanner prototype was called the Automatic Computerized Transverse Axial. It built upon the forerunning CT scanner of Nobel Prize winner Sir Godfrey Hounsfield. The forerunner was usable only on the head area.
Though known largely for his work on the first full-body scanner, Dr. Ledley also is regarded for his advocacy of computer usage in medicine; he was a founding fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics.
