Sontag & Kael : Craig Seligman explores the enduring influence of two critics who defined the cultural sensibilities of a generation: Susan Sontag and Pauline Kael. Though outwardly they had some things in common - they were both Westerners who came east, both single mothers, and they both studied philosophy - they were polar opposites in temperament and technique. From the very beginning it's clear where Seligman's sympathies lie. Sontag is a writer he reveres; Kael is a critic he loves. He approaches both writers through their work, whose fundamental parallels serve to sharpen their differences. Tone is the most obvious area where they're at odds. Kael practiced a kind of verbal jazz, exuberant, excessive, intimate, emotional, and funny. Sontag is formal and a little icy - a model of detachment. Kael never changed her approach from her first review to her last, while mutability has been one of the defining motifs of Sontag's career. Moral questions obsess Sontag; they interested Kael but didn't trouble her. During the era of Vietnam and Watergate, Kael fretted over the national mood of self-laceration; nothing repelled her like guilt, while Sontag had to do something about the injustice she saw, whether it was enraging an audience at New York's Town Hall in 1982 or publishing an independent-minded essay in The New Yorker following 9/11. But the question that Seligman keeps coming back to is: Can criticism be art?

FORT HOOD, Texas -- A judge has decided a Fort Hood shooting suspect still can face the death penalty if convicted in the worst mass shooting on a U.S. military installation.
The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, on Wednesday denied Maj. Nidal Hasan's request to remove the death penalty as a punishment option. His attorneys argued it was unconstitutional because the military justice system is not equal to the civilian system.
Hasan also tried to enter a guilty plea to 13 counts of premeditated murder in the 2009 attack on the Texas Army post. But Army rules prohibit a judge from accepting a guilty plea in a death penalty case.
Hasan also is charged with 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. He faces execution or life in prison without parole.
In the courtroom, Hasan wore green army fatigues. He also has a long, bushy beard. Col. Osborn said she does not have the authority to make him shave it, even though it violates army regulations. She says that's up to Hasan's commanding officer.
Osborn is holding hearings Wednesday through Friday to reconsider defense motions previously rejected by the former judge.

Snooker: Higgins suffers shock loss
John Higgins suffered a shock 6-3 defeat against home favourite Cao Yupeng in the first round of the International Championship in Chengdu, China.
Higgins, looking to complete a double in China after triumphing in the Shanghai Masters last month, led 2-0 after breaks of 71 and 73 but Cao fought back spectacularly to take the next five frames.
The four-time world champion looked to be on the comeback trail when he clinched the next - missing out on a 147 in the process after failing to pot the 11th red - but his 22-year-old opponent held his nerve to wrap up the biggest win of his fledgling career.
The world number 66 told worldsnooker.com: "I'm very excited to beat such a great player. John started well but then he faded. Overall I am very satisfied."
Higgins said: "It's a big tournament so I'm gutted to go out in the first round. I started well but then I missed a lot of chances and I didn't deserve to win."
Cao will next take on either Mark Allen or Robert Milkins in the last 16 and a match against the former could prove interesting.
After being defeated in the first round of this year's World Championship, Allen accused the Chinese of dishonesty, claiming Cao failed to declare an illegal push shot when leading 5-4.
The Northern Irishman further alleged that "blatant cheating" might be "a bit of a trait for the Chinese players" before issuing an apology for his remarks.
There was almost another upset as former Masters and UK champion Matthew Stevens was taken to a final frame by Zhao Xintong.
The 15-year-old beat former world champion Ken Doherty on Sunday and won three successive frames on Monday to level the match at 4-4.
A 50 break took Stevens ahead again only for Zhao to respond with 66, but a run of 44 helped the Welshman win the decider.
"At 4-1 I thought it was going to be an early night, but then he gained some momentum and in the last frame I thought I was going to lose," Stevens said.
"He is a fantastic player, the best wild card I have seen. He's got raw talent and a good attitude."
World number one Mark Selby saw off Ali Carter 6-3 with breaks of 63, 51, 50 and 59. He will meet either Ricky Walden or Lu Ning, who edged out Barry Pinches 6-5 in a scrappy encounter to reach the first round proper.
Dominic Dale won five of the last six frames to beat Graeme Dott 6-3, a run which featured breaks of 74, 108 and 61. The Welsh player next faces 14-year-old wild card Lu Haotian.

Potty training can be a difficult time for parent and child. Little accidents will occur during this time, the Bambino Mio Potty Kit contains all the essentials you will need to make the transition from nappy to pants easier.
The Bambino Mio Potty Training Kit has been designed to make potty training a fun and relaxed experience for you and your toddler.
This sturdy design is perfect for potty training. It has a carry handle and splash guard to prevent spillages.
Training Pants (11-13kgs)
Super absorbent pants, allow toddlers to feel wetness but prevent leakage onto clothes and prevent embarrassing accidents.
Fun Stickers
The stickers provided make a great incentive for your child. Reward your child with a sticker to decorate their potty every time they use it.
Potty Training Guide
The guide is designed to give you ideas and tips on how to simply and successfully potty train your toddler.
I have bought this in readiness for training my little boy. it is good value as it has potty two training pants and stickers. the potty is light and looks easy to clean. the pants are soft towelling like material with absorbant panel.
After buying 4 expensive potties, this 5th one is the best potty ever. My boy actually decided that he wants this one. Its shape guarantees that boys wont pee on the floor, its cheap,easy to clean, very light and although it doesnt have all the posh features like music, colourful appearance,my fussy son decided that its the only one he wants. and really, its true. potty needs to be basic, i've wasted loads of money on the high tech ones and for kids there is nondifference
The kit has 2 x pants which are good but the sizing is a bit on the large size as others have said - my huge, chunky legged 19 month old did actually fit the 18-24 month ones whereas he's in age 2-3 clothes. The potty however is way too small to be of any use as he can barely get his bottom on it! I think next time I'd just buy the pants separately. They won't catch everything but they catch enough to stop the carpet getting a soaking :)
Hi this my first time in Potty training my toddler its very self explanitry to use it its deep enough so it doesnt leak, its very compact so its easy to carry around or use it as a travel potty. I was very supprised that it came with washable pants that you can actually re use again!.... the only thing that lets the kit down is the leaflet it not really has any tips on how you get your child to stay on the potty for the first time it tells you just how to clean it!.
A great product. At first look, the potty seemed small, but it's in fact better than my sons larger one. Very good for travelling about with due to it's compact size. Pants are good and wash well, however due to the absorbancy element they take longer than expected to dry as mentioned in another review. Would still recommend.

The Frank G. Wells Environmental Law Clinic and client Surfrider Foundation prepared a briefing book on federal solutions to plastic marine pollution
This paper recommends actions to address marine plastic litter, one of the most significant problems facing the world's oceans and seas.
California's long-term prosperity is vulnerable to climate change, energy insecurity, environmental threats to public health, and a growing scarcity of key resources. Governor Brown has a tremendous opportunity to build on the state's past environmental successes, bringing enormous benefits to our economy and public health.
Our Blueprint describes three key areas that Governor Brown must focus on to ensure a healthy environmental future for all Californians. He must strengthen California's foundation for environmental protection. He must promote specific initiatives to address climate and energy instability. And he must advance cost-effective initiatives in traditional areas of environmental concern, such as water quality, water supply, coastal resources, chemical risks, air quality and biodiversity.

Latest Updates
Clint Hijacks Romney's Moment
Eastwood's weird convention routine was more than a mere mistake. Howard Kurtz on how it fundamentally changed the GOP narrative in Tampa—and will end up eclipsing Romney's acceptance speech.
At first glance, Clint Eastwood's cringe-inducing attempt at comedy in the closing hour of the Republican convention would appear to be a monumentally boneheaded move by the Romney campaign.
It was far worse than that.
The actor's bizarre interlude essentially negated a solid if unspectacular performance by the Republican nominee for president.
Eastwood, quite simply, made the Democrats' day.
Why Huckabee Vouched for Mitt's Mormonism
The former presidential candidate hits back at Debbie Wasserman Schultz and explains why he's glad to be done with politics.
Mike Huckabee says it was the elephant in the room.
The former Arkansas governor tells me in a video interview that he mentioned Mitt Romney's religion in his Republican convention speech because "a lot of people had this narrative that evangelicals are not going to vote for a Mormon, that somehow that makes it suspect. I think we have to talk about it."
Huckabee repeated to me his line—picked up by Maureen Dowd—that you don't care if your neurosurgeon is a jerk if your life is at stake.
Paul Ryan's Wonk Attack!
The vice presidential nominee used a folksy style and policy chops to make the case against the incumbent. Howard Kurtz on why his speech was effective.
Paul Ryan made a generational pitch for fresh leadership on Wednesday, slamming the Obama administration with these words: "Fear and division is all they've got left."
'Paul Ryan attacks Obama's stimulus plan.'
Stepping into the national spotlight at the Republican convention, the vice presidential nominee wasted no time praising Mitt Romney's "character and decency." Nor did he wait long to introduce his cute children in the audience, or describe himself as the son of a small-town lawyer also named Paul.
It could not be described as an electrifying speech—Ryan isn't the barn-burner type—but his plain-spoken, Midwestern style played well in the Tampa arena. True to his reputation as one of the GOP's leading intellectuals, it was something of a wonky speech sprinkled with folksy references—such as one to his home town of Janesville, Wisc., where "a lot of guys I went to high school with" worked at a GM plant that shut down.
Why the Fox anchor thinks the press is unfair--and what she looks like in the morning
I've heard the usual critique of Mitt Romney—stiff, reserved, out of touch—so many times I assume that it's a pretty solid consensus. Even Romney's top strategists concede he isn't comfortable talking about himself.
But Megyn Kelly thinks that assessment is way overplayed.
The idea "that Romney has difficulty coming off as a real person," trumpeted by the mainstream media, "there's a little bias in that," the Fox News anchor tells me in a video interview. "Really? Says who?...I don't think that should be a headline in a straight newspaper: 'Romney needs to prove he's an actual man!'"
As for the coverage of Barack Obama, Kelly says, "Much of the press is still hoping that they were right the first time around. That's the danger of planting an ideological flag as a reporter." But while convinced that the press "leans left," she says, "I think they're giving him a little bit of a harder time now."
Ann Soars, Christie Stumbles

Ann Romney, by far the warmer of the couple, had some success. Chris Christie, who flirted with a presidential run, did himself a whole lot of good, but maybe not much for Romney.
They combined to kick off the Republican convention with a singular task: to offer a richer portrait of a nominee who somehow, at this late date, still needs a proper introduction to the American people.
The former presidential candidate has a novel way to sell staid old Mitt Romney. He talks to Howard Kurtz about his upcoming convention speech.
As a retail politician, Mike Huckabee is everything that Mitt Romney is not: warm, funny, and a natural performer.
At the Republican convention here in Tampa, where the former presidential candidate speaks on Wednesday night, he's devised a neat formulation to sell a nominee so different in style and tone.
"Mitt Romney is Ward Cleaver," he tells me. "He's the dad who can sit down and in a calm, gracious voice make you want to do the right thing and pay for the window you broke with your baseball … He's not a braggart."
Perhaps sensing that likening the nominee to a 1950s sitcom character might not be sufficiently dramatic, Huckabee switches to a medical metaphor.
Romney: Personality Isn't Everything
As Tampa is soaked, the Republican candidate launches a preemptive media blitz. Howard Kurtz on how Romney's finally making use of the mainstream media's megaphone.
The GOP convention hasn't gotten underway, but Mitt Romney just conceded the likability contest.
"I don't think everybody likes me," Romney told Politico in an interview published Monday. "I don't believe that, by any means. But I do believe that people of this country are looking for someone who can get the country growing again with more jobs and more take-home pay, and I think they realize this president had four years to do that."
Translation: The other guy may be more affable and charming, but the economy is still a mess. You don't have to love me, just give me a shot at the job.
The rain here in Tampa, though not yet at tropical-storm levels, has put a damper on the now delayed convention. But you don't need a big arena to make news. Romney, who spent much of the campaign avoiding the mainstream media, is finally making use of their megaphone. And he is trying to steer the contest away from the politics of personality.
Isaac Could Blow Away Romney
The storm could spare Florida, but the GOP convention may never recover. From Tampa, Howard Kurtz on why the media are chasing the more dramatic story—a possible Category 2 hurricane barreling toward New Orleans.
Tampa, and the Republican convention, may have dodged a meteorological bullet.
But even as Tropical Storm Isaac veers off further down the Gulf Coast, defying earlier predictions, the fallout still threatens to inflict heavy damage on Mitt Romney's big national moment.

It's not just that Monday looks to rain on the parade of the thousands of journalists and delegates assembling here. Nor is it the quick decision by GOP officials to pull the plug on Monday's events, bumping big-name speakers such as Mike Huckabee and losing a valuable day in the spotlight.
Isaac Delays Convention
As the tropical storm churns toward Tampa, party officials had little choice but to cancel the Monday kickoff of Romney's coronation. Howard Kurtz on why the media wouldn't cover it anyway.
TAMPA—Hurricane Isaac has hijacked Mitt Romney's convention, and the damage is as hard to calculate as the extent of the damage from the coming storm.

Even as the sun filled the blue sky here after a day of light rain late Saturday, Republican Party officials decided to pull the plug on Monday's proceedings, wiping out a quarter of the convention. And in truth they had no choice.
It's not just that the party had to worry about the safety of delegates getting into the city. That goes without saying. But the media coverage will be so heavily focused on the storm and its effect on Florida's west coast as to blot out any speechifying.
A CNN anchor moves away from passive neutrality
Is Wolf Blitzer increasingly indulging in opinion?
In a video interview in The Situation Room, I asked the CNN anchor about the way he's been challenging political figures lately. He told Donald Trump he was sounding ridiculous on the birther question, and repeatedly pressed Democratic chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to admit that Paul Ryan's Medicare plan wouldn't affect anyone now 55 and older.
Blitzer admitted to being more aggressive than in the past. "The notion that politicians can come on and think they're getting a free ride, I think that's ancient history. ..We want to ask tough questions, and when we hear something that's clearly factually wrong, we push back." He added: "Sometimes people hate you in the process of that, the partisan types on both sides, but it equals out."
Media's Candidate Hate Fest
Talk about balanced: the coverage of Obama and Romney has been relentlessly negative. Howard Kurtz examines the nasty narratives, pitting Mr. Ineffectual against Mr. Moneybags.
Maybe the conservative critics are right: A whopping 71 percent of the media narrative about Mitt Romney has been negative, a new study says.

But wait: the same report says 72 percent of the media treatment of President Obama has been negative as well.
Apparently, journalists don't think much of either guy.
Santorum: Why Romney Might Lose
The former senator is heading to Tampa to speak on behalf of his former rival. He tells Howard Kurtz what Romney must avoid if he is to beat Obama.
Rick Santorum has a simple formulation for how the 2012 election will turn out.

"If the campaign is about issues, we win," he tells me. "If it's about Mitt Romney's record as a businessman, then we don't win. If it's about Mitt Romney's tax returns, then we don't win. If it's about whether people like Mitt Romney more than Barack Obama, then we don't win."
Despite his bruising primary battle with Romney, Santorum is heading to the Tampa convention next week as a loyal Republican lieutenant on behalf of the party's ticket. He is energized by Romney's pick of a fellow Catholic conservative, Paul Ryan—there "couldn't have been a better choice."
Are journalists capable of elevating the debate?
When I asked Chris Cillizza about the name-calling, deception and pettiness that has defined this presidential campaign, he didn't hem and haw.
"The smallness of our politics is baked in at this point," the Washington Post blogger, editor and author of The Gospel According to The Fix told me. "We talk about the idea of high-mindedness…and yet all of those conversations inevitably boil down to what you can fit in a 30-second ad, what you can tweet out, and that winds up driving the debate."
Kurtz and Cillizza talk Paul Ryan and the media's gaffe obsession.
Are journalists partially to blame? Cillizza notes that one of the most popular stories on the Post's website is not about Paul Ryan's legislative record but about his P90X workout.
He beats Romney in social media, but does that matter?
President Obama is creaming Mitt Romney in one increasingly important arena—the digital campaign.
The Obama team, admittedly with a four-year head start, is far more engaged in social media, says a new report from the Project for Excellence in Journalism.
Obama has 27 million Facebook likes to 2.9 million for Romney. The president has 18 million Twitter followers; the former Massachusetts governor has 787,000. And Obama videos have been viewed 207 million times on YouTube, compared to 15 million for Romney.
Obama is engaged in more careful targeting than in 2008. Users can sign up for 18 different groups, from Native Americans to Jewish Americans.
Is Ryan a Ticking Time Bomb?
The congressman is getting glowing press, but journalists are just starting to examine his record. Howard Kurtz on the long paper trail that could alienate moderate swing-state voters just getting to know Paul Ryan.
We have learned, in the three short days since Paul Ryan was catapulted into the national spotlight, that he skins and butchers animals to make his own Polish sausage (courtesy of The New York Times). That he is "pretty low-maintenance" (as his wife, Janna, tells People). That he is "kind of hot" (thank you, Politico), and that the second–most popular search term for Ryan is "shirtless" (fun fact from The Washington Post). Not to mention he's a former altar boy and a fitness buff.

In short, a rather wonkish congressman known primarily for his budget-slashing prowess is in the full flower of a media honeymoon. At the moment, he looks like a stellar pick who has accomplished the daunting task of loosening up Mitt Romney.
But watch out: Romney's choice may look very different in the coming weeks.

3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 oz. container size is a security measure.
Consolidate bottles into one bag and X-ray separately to speed screening.
Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.
3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula and food, and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.
Come early and be patient. Heavy travel volumes and the enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints.
Provide advance notice to your airline or travel agent if you require assistance at the airport. TSA can only assist you with the screening process. Your airline will assist you through the airport facility and the screening queue line.
If you require a companion or assistant to accompany you through the security checkpoint to reach your gate speak with your airline representative about obtaining a gate pass for your companion before entering the security checkpoint.
The limit of one carry-on and one personal item (purse briefcase or computer case) does not apply to medical supplies, equipment, mobility aids, and/or assistive devices carried by and/or used by a person with a disability.
Pack your medications in a separate pouch/bag to facilitate the inspection process. Ensure that containers holding medications are not too densely filled, and that all medication is clearly identified. It is recommended that passengers refrain from packing any medications in their checked baggage that they do not want exposed to X-rays. Instead, send larger quantities of medications to your destination by mail or any other way preferred.
If you have medical documentation regarding your medical condition or disability, you can present this information to the Security Officer to help inform him of your situation. This documentation is not required and will not exempt you from the security screening process.
Make sure all your carry-on items; equipment, mobility aids, and devices have an identification tag attached.
TSA recommends that you bring all the necessary tools and/or appliances that you require to put on or take off your prosthetic device (e.g. wrenches, pull sleeves, etc.) should you need to remove your prosthetic device for any reason. TSA allows these tools to be carried through the security checkpoint once they have been screened (see assistive devices and mobility aids for more details on prosthetic device screening).
If you have a medical device (on the interior or exterior of your body) check with your doctor prior to traveling to determine if it is safe for you to go through the metal detector or be handwanded. If your Doctor indicates that you should not go through the metal detector or be handwanded, or if you are concerned, ask the Security Officer for a pat-down inspection instead.
Your personal supplemental Oxygen will need to undergo screening. Check with your Doctor prior to coming to the checkpoint to ensure disconnection can be done safely.
If your Doctor has indicated that you cannot be disconnected or if you are concerned, ask the Security Officer for an alternate inspection process while you remain connected to your oxygen source.
If you need an Oxygen Supplier to meet you at the gate, check with your airline well in advance of your departure about their procedures for allowing suppliers to meet you at the arrival's gate since these procedures vary from airline to airline.
As a general rule, Canada does not allow persons with DUI's to enter their country, although travellers who require in-depth information regarding the process of applying for a waiver or other admissibility questions can reach the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) during regular business hours, Monday to Friday (08:00 - 16:00 local time, except holidays) by calling either (506)636-5064 or (204)983-3500.
You may also view the following links with CBSA on their waiver process:

• CBSA's Contact page: http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/contact/bis-sif-eng.html
• CBSA's info for non-Canadians: http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/noncan-eng.html
A single DUI conviction is not grounds to deny entry into the U.S; however, multiple DUI convictions or a DUI conviction in combination with other misdemeanor offenses can make a person inadmissible and require a waiver prior to entering the United States.


text: Swimming, With Determination, Against the Tide Karla Cruel, Class of 2013 The very first case assigned to Karla Cruel through the Civil Litigation Field Clinic the law school operates with the Family Law Unit of Philadelphia Legal Assistance was a doozy. The case would require Karla to argue in Philadelphia's Family Court on behalf of a father who wants custody of his child. The father is worried about potential dangers posed by the child's grandfather, who lives with the child and her mother. Those basic facts placed the matter squarely outside the commonplace. And Karla's first major task would be to seek an expedited custody hearing. "He's a regular guy who really loves his kid," Karla said, adding that the case will test her powers of persuasion, since many judges seem to assume that women are better caretakers than men. In her first few weeks with the clinic, she had observed the flow of activity in the city's Family Court. Time and again, Karla noticed, judges were harsher and more skeptical in their dealings with men than women, regardless of the circumstances. "The law is balanced, but the application of the law is unfair. The bias is very apparent," she said. "Custody is about the best interests of the child and Protection from Abuse orders apply to both genders." Although maternal influence over children is indisputably powerful, she said, it should only be considered one of many factors that decide custody cases. "Men can get beat up by the system," she said.

My comment is the same as a previous users. Is suspect this is a software glitch. I'm trying use the "Send for Shared Review" feature in Acrobat 9, which worked fine a week ago. Every time I try, the Acrobat.com dialog box comes up telling me it "can't connect to server." It has my correct log in information. If I use my browser to go to acrobat.com, I can log in fine, but then of course I can't get the mark-up feature for my shared pdf files. I used this feature in Acrobat about a month ago with no problem. Any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot?
I'm having this exact same problem now. Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
My IT department appears to have just found the solution to this problem. See if this works for you:
Got to:
Documents and Settings\your profile\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Synchronizer\resources
Delete the contents of this folder and then try clicking on your review PDF again. This appears to have fixed my computer. I'm gettting ready to go around to other staff members computers in my office to see if this solves our problem.
Here is a link to a technical note that addresses this problem for New responses are not collected for Forms Distribution workflow even when Tracker indicates their availablity.

2014 Internal Audit Capabilities and Needs Survey Results
Brian Christensen, David Brand and Sharon Lindstrom - Protiviti and Scott Hollands - Vivint
Apr 17 2014
90 mins
Internal audit functions must anticipate and respond to a constant stream of new challenges. Key findings from Protiviti's latest Internal Audit Capabilities and Needs Survey show that:
• Social media, mobile applications, cloud computing and security (specifically with regard to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework) are critical areas of concern
• CAATs and data analysis remain on center stage

12 Ways to Spot Underinsurance
Lorna Harrington, Director, Barrett, Corp & Harrington Ltd
Feb 12 2014
45 mins
By way of case studies of buildings, Lorna will take you on a whistle-stop tour of 12 common ways to spot 'the likely suspects' of where underinsurance is sure to be found.
It is the insured's responsibility to set the buildings sum insured but how do they know that it is correct? Experience suggests that brokers are asked to advise and clients seek help from inappropriate web based information. Neither is best practice and the former is a sure route to litigation. Even if the insured has built the property themselves, the figure is unlikely to be the correct base on which to set the insurance policy.
The aim of the session is to help insurance professionals highlight cases where a valuation should be an integral part of the risk management strategy. It will broaden the audience's knowledge so that the conversation about underinsurance does not take place in front of a burnt out building.
About your speaker:
Lorna Harrington is a Director at Barrett, Corp & Harrington Ltd, an RICS regulated surveyor that specialises in insurance valuations for buildings and contents. Prior to setting up BCH in 2006, Lorna had worked at Cunningham Lindsey as a Risk Solutions Manager, AIG Private Client Group as the Residential Services Manager and at Chubb Insurance as an Appraisal Manager for Chubb Masterpiece. Lorna started her career as a Lloyds broker, Bain Hogg (Aon), placing fine art and historic houses business in the London Market.
Her personal business interests are the valuation of listed buildings and historic monuments and helping clients to achieve a more realistic valuation on their contents items. Lorna holds a post graduate diploma in Historic Building Conservation (RICS) and an MA in the History of Art and Architecture.

640 Louisa St, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7011729.963032 -90.043840
Neighborhoods: Bywater, Bywater
best bar around – markey's bar is by far my favoritwe watering hole in the city. the bartenders are all willing and wanting to converse with customers. the drinks are cheap and made right. the crowd is always friendly. the food is great. it is a great bar to go alone, take friens etc. dont miss the opportunity to check out this amazing bar.
Great neighborhood joint – Markey's is as comfortable as your own living room. With bartenders who know how to pour, try their four star bloody mary's, and stay for a bite to eat. Excellent burgers, big and juicy, and although who would think that a bar would have great salads, the steak salad with a cilantro lime viniagrette shouldn't be missed.
great little bar – Not that there is a shortage of neighborhood bars in New Orleans, but this little Bywater bar is a nice place when you want to steer clear of the tourist traps on Bourbon street. Lots of big screen TV's hung on the walls. The people here live in the area and its a pretty layed back crowd. A real plus, the food is very good here, although its a short menu. I like the shrimp po-boy's, but ask them to toast the bread a little extra.
Do Without the Pretense?? Then youve found the right place. – Markeys is one of a dying breed of bars; down to earth, full of colorful characters, cheap, strong drinks and free pool. I can not even begin to count all the good times I had here during my 3 years living in the Bywater. I appreciate it (and miss it) alot more now that I live in lame-o Albuquerque....

best Irish pub... every time we are in Louisville, we head to O'Sheas... very comfortable and great service... fod and beer are great!
Way too loud – The only thing I enjoyed about O'Sheas was the calimari I had there once. It's very tight & way too loud. It's no place to go if you want to have any form of conversation w/ the people you're with, you literally have to shout to talk to even the person sitting across from you. Not enjoyable at all. The bartenders could be a little friendlier, too.
User review by brittneymt – I've always loved Osheas! The patio is so beautiful in the summer and the staff is always freindly and can recommend some great beers! The food is really good too. If you havent been you should check it out!
O'Shea's Rocks in Green!! – i've visited o'shea's for almost 6 years now, (and a couple times before i should have.) 5 of those all the way from southern california!! I make trips back just to visit family and the guys at the bar. what a great place. summers on the patio is where it's at!!
Ehhh... – The people are too hoity toity there for my taste, even the bartenders have an attitude.
And the music is lacking. The good music you can't hear, and the crappy hip hop is loud and in your face.
