2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014
When you hire a lawyer you have the right to have your legal matter handled in a professional and ethical manner.
Unfortunately, there may be times when you feel that you have not received the treatment you deserve. Most of the time such problems can be settled between you and your lawyer, either by talking it over or by dismissing the lawyer and hiring a new one. However, on occasion a lawyer's conduct may appear so improper that you feel a complaint to a local disciplinary authority is warranted. Most complaints are filed by clients. However, you may file one even if you are not that lawyer's client.
If you believe a lawyer has behaved in an unethical or dishonest manner, you may file a complaint with:
Departmental Disciplinary Committee
Supreme Court, Appellate Division
First Judicial Department
61 Broadway, 2nd Floor
New York, NY 10006
Telephone (212) 401-0800
Hours: Monday-Friday, 9 A.M.-5 P.M.
The Committee only handles complaints against lawyers whose offices are in Manhattan or the Bronx. Similar disciplinary committees exist in the other counties of New York State. If you call us, we will be happy to furnish you with addresses for the other disciplinary committees in the state.
The Committee is composed
of lawyers and a smaller number of non-lawyers appointed by the
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, First Judicial Department (the "Court"). Each member is selected by the Court because of his or her
knowledge of the law and reputation for integrity and fairness. They serve
voluntarily and without pay, and the Committee has no affiliation with a
bar association. The Committee is assisted by a full-time paid staff of
about 45 which includes lawyers, investigators, paralegals and clerical
assistants. The staff screens and investigates complaints and prosecutes
those complaints that may warrant disciplinary action.
The purpose of the Committee is to protect the public and the legal profession by ensuring that lawyers adhere to the ethical standards set forth in the Rules of Professional Conduct (the "Rules"). The Committee protects the public by reviewing and investigating complaints against lawyers and by recommending sanctions against those who are proven to have violated the Rules. It protects the legal profession by enforcing high standards of conduct, while at the same time ensuring that complaints are dealt with fairly.
The Committee has the authority to take the following actions, depending upon the seriousness of the lawyer's conduct and the circumstances surrounding it:
- Refer the complaint to a special Mediation Program, in which a trained volunteer mediator meets with the lawyer and the client to assist them in resolving the complaint privately;
- Issue a private sanction to the lawyer (a "Letter or Admonition");
- Recommend to the Court that the lawyer receive a public condemnation ("censure");
- Recommend to the Court that the lawyer's right to practice law be taken away for a specified period of time ("suspension"); or
- Recommend to the Court that the lawyer's license to practice law be taken away ("disbarment").
In response to complaints, the Committee is limited to disciplining the offending lawyer or referring the matter to a mediator (as outlined above). The Committee cannot:
- Give you legal advice or represent you in a civil suit against your lawyer, including a suit for legal malpractice or any other claim. If you wish to obtain money from your lawyer on your claim of improper conduct, you should consult an attorney knowledgeable in that field for advice and representation. There are time limits for making certain claims, so you should seek legal advice promptly, whether or not you file a complaint.
- Determine fee disputes between you and your lawyer. Lawyers are required to participate in mandatory arbitration of fee disputes subject to certain conditions.
- Collect money for you. If an attorney owes you money, and you have not obtained a judgment, you should consider hiring a lawyer to collect your money.
- Generally speaking, immediately act on your complaint if there is pending litigation as to the same material and substantial issues.
If you are in doubt as to whether the Committee can help you, you may contact the Committee for guidance:
Departmental Disciplinary Committee
Supreme Court, Appellate Division
First Judicial Department
61 Broadway, 2nd Floor
New York, NY 10006
Telephone (212) 401-0800
Hours: Monday-Friday, 9 A.M.-5 P.M.
It is helpful, but not required that you use our complaint form for your complaint. If you choose not to use the Committee's form, make sure that your written complaint contains the following information:
- Your name, address, and telephone number;
- The name, address, and telephone number of the lawyer against whom you are making the complaint; and,
- A detailed and concise statement of the lawyer's conduct that is the subject of the complaint.
Whether or not you use the Committee's form, your complaint must be signed. Submit any documents (send copies and keep the originals) which are related to, or substantiate your complaint. Send the complaint and related documents to the Committee.
There is no charge for submitting a complaint to the Committee. Review, investigation, and prosecution of your complaint are paid for by the State of New York. If you hire an attorney to assist you in the complaint process, you are responsible for the lawyer's fee.
A. Initial Screening
Every complaint is given a docket number and initially reviewed by an attorney on the Committee staff. If it is determined that your complaint involves a matter falling outside our Committee's authority, the staff will notify you that your complaint is being rejected. A rejection does not mean we did not believe you. It only means that what you said the attorney did either was not a violation of any specific rule of the Rules or we cannot pursue it for one of the following reasons:
- A major portion of your complaint is in essence a fee dispute over which the Committee has no jurisdiction.
- The Committee cannot act on your complaint for other reasons having to do with jurisdiction. For example, that the lawyer's registration address is not in Manhattan or the Bronx; the lawyer has already been suspended or disbarred; the lawyer is deceased; or there is a lawsuit pending that involves the same issues.
- Your complaint involves collecting a debt that a lawyer owes to you and you have not exhausted available civil remedies.
- There appears to be little likelihood that your complaint alleging professional misconduct can be proven due to the passage of time, the unavailability of evidence or applicable law.
B. Initial Investigation
If the initial screening reveals that the complaint is within our Committee's authority and may involve an ethical violation, the legal staff will carry out an initial investigation of the case. During this investigation, the attorney about whom you complained will be sent a copy of your complaint and will be given the opportunity to respond to it. You, in turn, will be given the opportunity to reply to the lawyer's response.
C. Second Screening
Following the initial investigation of your complaint, including a review of the evidence submitted, the lawyer's response to the complaint, and your reply, our Committee will determine whether additional investigation is needed and, if so, a further investigation is undertaken. At that point an attorney on the Committee staff reviews the entire file again and makes a recommendation as to whether a violation of a rule warranting discipline has occurred. That recommendation is based on an assessment of the merits of the complaint, the evidence offered by both sides and other relevant factors.
D. Dismissal
If the investigation reveals that the lawyer did not violate a specific rule in the Rules, or if it appears that the complaint cannot be proven, the Committee may decide that your complaint should be dismissed. Before a complaint is dismissed, however, the staff recommendation, as well as the entire file, will be reviewed by the Chief Counsel and again independently by at least one Committee member, who is a lawyer, chosen on an alternating basis. If the member agrees, you will be notified in writing that your complaint is to be dismissed, but that you may request reconsideration of that decision by a different Committee member by notifying the Committee within 30 days of the notice of dismissal to you.
E. The Committee's Mediation Program
In some cases that do not involve serious ethical violations and are unlikely to result in a disciplinary sanction against a lawyer, the Committee may decide to send your complaint to mediation, which is a private, informal way to resolve a dispute. The mediator is a neutral third person who tries to help disputing parties reach a mutually agreeable solution of their differences. In both Manhattan and the Bronx there is a roster of mediators who are trained to deal with disputes between lawyers and their clients. The mediation will involve, at a minimum, telephone contact between you, the lawyer, and the mediator. It may also involve a mediation conference at which you, the lawyer and the mediator will be present. The mediation program has been highly successful in resolving disputes between clients and their lawyers, particularly in cases where the complaint was generated by a failure in communication. Should mediation fail, the Committee will determine how to proceed as reflected above.
F. Further Investigation
If the staff attorney after second screening recommends that it is likely that there has been a violation of a Disciplinary Rule, that recommendation is reviewed by the Chief Counsel or the First Deputy Chief Counsel and if the recommendation is accepted, the case is assigned to one of the staff attorneys to conduct further investigation which may require issuing subpoenas for documents and records as well as interviewing witnesses including at times the complainant as well as the attorney whose conduct is being investigated.
G. Private Letter of Admonition
In some cases, the investigation reveals that a lawyer has behaved unethically and deserves to be disciplined, but that the violation is not serious enough to warrant formal, public discipline. In such cases, our Committee will send the lawyer a "Letter of Admonition." This is a private sanction which states that the Committee finds the lawyer's conduct to be in violation of the Rules. For example, such letters are sent to first-time offenders who neglect a legal matter or fail to return client property promptly. If a Letter of Admonition is sent to the lawyer about whom you complained, by law we are not emitted to show you a copy of that letter, but you will receive a notice informing you that such a letter was sent, that it will be kept in the lawyer's permanent file and that it may be used against the lawyer should there be any future ethical violation.
H. Formal Charges
In a case involving an allegation of serious unethical conduct that can be proven, or a case against a lawyer having a history of other repeated provable offenses, it may be determined that formal charges should be brought against the lawyer. Formal charges (the first step required for the imposition of public censure, suspension or disbarment) are initially prepared by the legal staff, and require the approval of at least two Policy Committee members.
I. Hearing and Review by the Court
If formal charges are brought against a lawyer, the Court will appoint a Referee to conduct the hearing. Staff attorneys under the supervision of the Chief and Deputy Counsels develop and prosecute the case against the offending lawyer before the Referee. You may be asked to testify along with other witnesses. After the hearing, which is similar to a formal trial, the Referee issues a Report and Recommendation as to whether the charges have been proven, and rec om ends an appropriate sanction. The entire proceeding is then reviewed by a Hearing Panel assigned by the Chairman of the Committee. It generally consists of five or six Committee members, one of whom is a public member. If the Hearing Panel finds that the charges have been proven, its Report and Determination as to sanction (options) the hearing transcript, the evidence introduced at the hearing, and the Referee's Report and Recommendation are then sent to the Court. The Court, after its review, may confirm, reject or modify the Referee's findings and/or the Hearing Panel's recommendation. Only the Court has the authority to impose public discipline on the lawyer, including censure, suspension or disbarment.
During the investigation and resolution of a disciplinary complaint, the entire disciplinary proceeding, including the existence of your complaint, is, by law, confidential and the Committee may not disclose this to the public [New York Judiciary Law, Section 90(10)]. However, if a recommendation for a public sanction is forwarded to, and upheld by, the Court, the Court's written decision and the entire record of the proceedings are available to the public for inspection.
Generally speaking, the initial screening of a complaint will take about four to six weeks. You may contact the Committee in writing to review the status of the complaint. Because of Section 90(10) of the Judiciary Law and the Committee's limited resources, telephone inquires cannot be processed. After the initial screening it is difficult to predict the Length of time a case will take because that depends on the gravity of the complaint. If a recommendation is made to dismiss the complaint after receipt of the lawyer's answer and your reply to that answer, generally you will be notified within six months of the filing of your complaint. If the recommendation is that a violation probably occurred, the time required for the additional investigation and prosecution phase varies with the seriousness and complexity of the case, the availability of witnesses and documentary evidence, the number of complaints being handled, and other factors. If your complaint results in formal charges and a hearing, and involves claims of attorney misconduct sufficient to justify suspension or disbarment, it may take a number of months before the proceedings are complete. On the other hand, if the charge is less serious and does not require a hearing (for example, if the result is mediation or a Letter of Admonition), the entire process is often completed more quickly. Every effort is made to act on each complaint quickly and efficiently. Consideration of a complaint may ultimately result in depriving a lawyer of the ability to practice his or her profession. Given its responsibility to you, as well as to the lawyer in question, the Committee must act with care.
Section 90 of the Judiciary Law and Court Rule 22 NYCRR §603.14 permit attorneys to apply for reinstatement to the practice of law after the period of suspension or disbarment. An attorney who has been disbarred or stricken from the roll of attorneys may not petition for reinstatement until the expiration of seven years from the effective date of disbarment (id.). Directions on what a petition for reinstatement must contain.
The Court permits an attorney to resign from the bar during an investigation by the Committee or after the filing of charges if the attorney submits an affidavit in compliance with 22 NYCRR §603.11, acknowledging that the attorney knows the nature of potential charges which are set forth in the affidavit and cannot defend against them. A resignation during the pendency of an investigation or after is the equivalent of disbarment.
There are various agencies that provide assistance in the areas in which our Committee cannot help you, or that can provide additional relief while your complaint is being processed by the Committee.

We hope that this is helpful to answering your questions about how to bring a complaint against a lawyer in Manhattan or the Bronx, and what happens after you bring a complaint. The legal profession expects all lawyers to conduct themselves in an honest and ethical manner in accordance with the standards set by the Rules of Professional Conduct. We are committed to giving every complaint against a lawyer full and fair consideration in an expeditious manner, and imposing appropriate disciplinary sanctions against lawyers who do not meet the high ethical standards of the profession.

For the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge? How about matching bathrobes from a fabled hotel.
These are just some of the gifts received last year by the Princes and Kate during their travels on behalf of Queen Elizabeth. (For the full list, click here.)
While William, 30, was given a prized dagger by the King of Malaysia, he and Kate were handed robes by the historic Raffles Hotel in Singapore.
During his March visit to Brazil and the Caribbean, Harry, 28, was given Brazilian soccer shirts, local liquor and, in the Bahamas, a magnifying glass. The Governor of Rio handed him a Beatles CD and a book.
And, should he want to pimp up his ride back home, he can always display the personalized license plate saying "HARRY" that he received while he toured Brazil. You go, Harry.

I am weary.
And tired.
I have been a good Mom- a good Mom this week, and it is exhausting.
Noah has summer school every day until the end of this month, and he has to be out front for the bus by 7:25AM. IN THE MORNING. That's a whole hour earlier than when school was even in session.
Every day this week I planned to go back to bed after he left but Every day this week all four of my children have been awake to see him off... and so... my day begins early, and it lasts so very long.
We have filled it with the beach, with bubbles, with arts and crafts on the rainy days, and with books (so many books- Ivy says sentences now and her most often said (no joke) is "Read the book" readthebook readthebook readthebook she says it eleventy million times a day.)
The other night was tiring just from the accumulation of normal life stuff and then on top of it Ivy had an awful diaper rash, so I put her to bed naked from the waist down, so her little hoo hoo could get plenty of air (I put towels down underneath, of course, but she was dry the whole night!) But I woke constantly checking her, to see if she was ok, to see if she'd wet, to adjust the towel, etc etc.
And I had finally fallen to a good sleep when I could hear Carter crying in his bed, he was sick with a very sore throat. So I doctored him and (because all of my kids have inherited my baths-make-everything-feel-better gene) gave him a bath at two in the morning.
I was bummed because I hate when they are sick and miserable, and I hate that I wasn't going to get any sleep, and we had also planned a fun park day with friends and that was all going to probably not happen now and I was frustrated that we were in the middle of switching pediatricians- again- because our awesome natural pediatrician's office moved too far away and so we are back to going local and I had to deal with all that hassle and explain why they hadn't seen my kids in so long,
and I just don't have the energy for this.
But yet, I am a good Mom, and I muster it up somehow.
I took him to the doctor, and even brought books for the wait and read out loud Shel Silverstein until the doctor came in, and it was quick and fine. Just a virus, to be treated as I already was doing, but at least now we have peace of mind (that we bought for $80, thanks, sucky insurance.)
And by the time we made it home, my eyelids were filled with cement and my arms and legs felt like spaghetti and I wondered how I was going to make it the next few hours until hubby came home, let alone the next few minutes.
I started fighting back the emotional over-tired-ness tears, and kept thinking about all the things you don't think about when you are planning to have several kids. Just because you finally get the baby to sleep doesn't mean you are in the clear. I've found they're all very timely about taking turns when they are sick or needy, but when is my turn? For a break from that cycle? Oh, that's right, I don't get a turn.
[And oh, such timely fashion! As I am writing this, it must be Noah's turn. I just had a spell holding him in his bed during a night terror. ]
In the middle of making dinner today, I'd take breaks to fill water balloons at the kitchen sink. My plan is to stockpile them at night, so that the kids have plenty for the next day. But these water balloons, I carried in my shirt, and brought them outside where the kids were playing. And I grabbed my camera and snapped this photo and then SNAP! one of the balloons burst and I gasped! Soaked, cold splashed through my skirt, to my feet. It was like my water broke, literally.
The kids were surprised, too, and then we all started laughing. I rung out my tank top. They tossed the other balloons and within about four seconds all of them had burst.
Something needed to break today. And I'm glad it wasn't me.
Back to the sink I went to fill more up.
Back to my knees I go to fill me up.
So I can do it all again to-morrow.

AUSTIN, Texas � Whether it was to sneak a first kiss or listen to Led Zeppelin, climbing onto the roof of the White House was apparently a popular practice among a few presidents' children.
Steve Ford garnered laughs during a panel discussion with fellow children of former presidents as he recalled dragging a stereo onto the roof with a friend his first night there in 1974.
A teenager at the time his father took office, he said, �I think we were playing like Led Zeppelin�s �Stairway to Heaven.� Literally, it was like �Dumb and Dumber.��
Jenna Bush Hager later told Ford, �You can still get up on that roof, because I had my first kiss with my husband up there.�
Her twin sister, Barbara Pierce Bush, and Lynda Johnson Robb also spoke during the conference, which is part of a series focusing on the nation�s first ladies. But Thursday�s event was the first in which their children have participated, offering a different perspective about life in the White House.
The conference, �The Enduring Legacies of America�s First Ladies,� was hosted by the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library in Austin and was presented by American University and the White House Historical Association.
Ford said that his family got to the White House in a �different way.� His father was appointed vice president after the resignation of Spiro Agnew, and then became president after the resignation of Richard Nixon.
He said that Nixon�s presidency ended so abruptly that the Nixon family�s possessions were still being packed after Ford was sworn in, so the Ford family returned to their suburban Washington home for several days.
After his father was sworn in, his mother, Betty Ford, fixed the family dinner.
�She looks over at my dad and says, �Gerry, something�s wrong here. You just became president of the United States and I�m still cooking,�� he said.
He also talked of his parents� deep devotion to each other, saying their decision to frankly talk about Betty Ford�s breast cancer diagnosis just weeks after he became president.
�I can remember them holding hands and standing in front of the press and saying, �We�re going to take the shame off of this disease,� which was a closet disease for women back in 1974,� Ford said.
When his mother expressed concern after her diagnosis about wearing evening gowns, Ford said, his father told her: �Betty, come on, don�t be silly. If you can�t wear cut low in the front, wear cut low in the back.�
When asked to reveal something the crowd might not know about their mothers, Robb said her mother was a big �Gunsmoke� fan and noted that state dinners could interfere with her mother�s viewings, so her father came up with a solution.
�Somehow he got WACA, that�s the White House Communications Agency, to find a way to tape �Gunsmoke� for mom,� she said.
Other conferences have been hosted in Texas by the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas and the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station. The next conference will be held in the spring at the Gerald R. Ford Museum in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The conference ended with a panel featuring former first ladies Barbara Bush and Laura Bush during which the two revealed former President George W. Bush has taken up painting.
�And he�s good, that�s the most extraordinary thing,� his mother said.
His wife replied, �The truth is he gave up cigars and he had to find some pastime.�

Heart-Check Mark Driving Beef Sales
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
Following the success of the 2011 American Heart Association (AHA) Food Certification Program pilot test with two grocery chains, the beef checkoff has collaborated with retailers to capitalize on the program's ability to drive incremental beef sales and build customer loyalty. The results from that initial pilot are used to compel other retailers to display the American Heart Association's Heart-Check Mark on-pack.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

York robbery suspect tries to sell stolen phone on Facebook
A York man advertised recently on Facebook he had a cell phone for sale. Only problem was, police said, he had taken the phone by force from another man about a week before, according to charging documents.
Police charged Jaquan Adair Brown, 18, of the 700 block of East Philadelphia Street, with robbery, theft and receiving stolen property on Thursday. He was arraigned and, as of Sunday afternoon, was in York County Prison on $50,000 bail.
According to charging documents, at 3:05 a.m. Jan. 31, police met with Andrew Rohrbaugh, who said he had been talking with a woman on a website and that he was supposed to met her in the 700 block of East Philadelphia Street.
Rohrbaugh went to an address the woman had given him and knocked on the door, but didn't get an answer. He then was approached by a man -- identified by police as Brown -- who asked him for a cigarette and a light. The two began talking, and Rohrbaugh agreed to give Brown a ride to a store on South George Street, according to charging documents.
As the two were getting into the car, Brown pulled out a black handgun and pointed it at Rohrbaugh, charging documents state. Brown then took Rohrbaugh's $1,500 laptop computer and cell phone, worth $700, and told him to walk away and not look back, according to charging documents.
During their investigation, police were able to track the computer to a home in the 700 block of East Philadelphia Street. they also developed Brown as a suspect and found he lived at a home in the same block.
Police were familiar with Brown, as he had used a number associated with the home in previous dealings with police, according to charging documents.
Officers showed a photo lineup to Rohrbaugh, with Brown's photo and seven others, and Rohrbaugh picked out Brown as the person who robbed him.
On Feb. 7, Brown made a post on Facebook stating he was selling a Samsung Galaxy S3. Rohrbaugh told police this was the exact type of phone taken from him in the robbery, charging documents state.
On Wednesday, police went to the home in the 700 block of East Philadelphia Street, and using a search warrant, found Rohrbaugh's laptop, and also a W-2 form for Brown.
Police were still looking for Brown at that time, but arrested him between then and Sunday.

COLUMBIA — With South Carolina and Clemson ranked in the preseason top 10 together for the first time ever, there might be a temptation to look ahead to their Nov. 30 regular season finale and ponder what it could mean to the Gamecocks' potentially special season.
And with one of the best players in USC history, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, back for his third and final season, it might be easy to envision Clowney sitting at December's Heisman Trophy presentation in New York, hoping to become the first exclusively defensive player to win the award.
But those events are four months away, and even further from the minds of USC's players and coaches as they begin preseason practices Friday. There are far more immediate concerns for the Gamecocks, who had their best ever seasons the past two years (11-2 both times), but must replace two of their top players from 2012: wide receiver Ace Sanders and program-changing running back Marcus Lattimore.
Here are just five of the many questions they will attempt to address during August practices:
1. What's the linebacker situation?
All three starters will be new. That much we know.
Sophomore Kaiwan Lewis is the likely starting middle linebacker. Redshirt freshman T.J. Holloman could rotate with Lewis or could play weakside linebacker, depending on how sophomore Cedrick Cooper returns from knee surgery that sidelined him for spring practices. Sophomore Marcquis Roberts impressed in the spring and is going to challenge Cooper at the will spot.
Spur linebacker is one of the most interesting battles of preseason, between junior Sharrod Golightly, who had a slight edge coming out of spring, and redshirt freshman Jordan Diggs. This is another spot where the players could rotate if neither wins the job outright.
2. How will the safeties adjust to new roles?
Free safety D.J. Swearinger, USC's most vocal leader, is now with the Houston Texans. Junior Kadetrix Marcus and sophomore T.J. Gurley played free safety last year but will move to strong safety, switching places with junior Brison Williams, last year's starting strong safety.
Gurley missed the spring because of knee surgery, but held his own last season when Swearinger's one-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit forced Gurley to start against Missouri. Defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward thinks Gurley and Marcus will be good fits for strong safety because they are physical and can play closer to the line. Williams is USC's most experienced safety, a trait that helps any free safety, but can he have a commanding presence like Swearinger did?
3. Mike Davis or Brandon Wilds?
The top two candidates to replace Lattimore are both sophomores. Lattimore's 2011 knee injury forced Wilds into action as a true freshman. Wilds redshirted last year. Lattimore's 2012 knee injury pressed Davis into duty as a true freshman. Davis was a much higher-regarded recruit, though that doesn't matter now. Both players have good bulk (Davis is 215 pounds, Wilds 223). But Wilds is 6-2 — five inches taller than Davis — and Davis is the faster of the two. Davis emerged from spring atop the depth chart.
"There wasn't much difference," said running backs coach Everette Sands. "It's just that, at the end, Mike was making a few more plays than Brandon. Not that Brandon's not making plays. Mike just made a few more, so that gave him a little edge. Both of them I expect to be heavily in the mix (during preseason practices)."
4. How will the offensive line adjust to changes?
On the surface, there don't seem to be many. The only new starter is redshirt freshman center Cody Waldrop, which is no small change from T.J. Johnson, a three-year starting center.
But Davis and Wilds are different backs, and the Gamecocks could rotate quarterbacks Connor Shaw (who can scramble) and Dylan Thompson (more of a pocket passer). So Shawn Elliott's line will have to be flexible.
"Certainly, there's a difference in backs, of course," Elliott said. "Some backs can be a jump cutter. Some backs can be a power run type guy. That dictates a little bit how you block it and what plays you run."
Waldrop struggled some in the spring with snapping, but Elliott saw him iron out those issues.
"I think he snaps a catchable ball," Elliott said. "I'm not all concerned with his snaps. Now, I could be dead wrong. But from that standpoint, I think he's doing fine."
5. Will Gamecocks play both quarterbacks?
Don't expect coach and play-caller Steve Spurrier to reveal much about this during the preseason. He has said there's a chance Shaw and Thompson both play. He also said Shaw remains the starter. Spurrier has thrown around the possibility of both being in the backfield at the same time, in the shotgun formation, or Shaw lining up wide and Thompson throwing to him.
While USC will no doubt try to nail down more of a precise plan in the coming days and weeks, how the Shaw/Thompson dynamic truly works won't be known until the Gamecocks kick off the season Aug. 29 against North Carolina. And, of course, there's always a chance that Spurrier opts to play Shaw for all of that game. As with the USC-Clemson game and the Heisman ceremony, Aug. 29 is still too far off in the future to know for sure.

Theatre Program
THEA 131 Classroom in a minute video
THEA 160 Classroom in a minute video
To step out on stage in character, in costume, in front of an audience, is a risk - and offers a reward - unlike any other human endeavor. The Theatre Program at Lansing Community College is dedicated to nourishing these aspirations and providing these experiences for our students.
The LCC theatre program gives students many opportunities to perform while providing a strong foundation for transfer to a four-year institution. Theatre majors are part of an ensemble: you take classes with the same group of students for two years. The theatre program concentrates on Stanislavski's system of acting, vocal and physical expressiveness, improvisation, analysis and performance of Shakespeare. Each semester's studio experience culminates in a Black Box performance. In the fourth semester, you'll be cast in the spring main stage play. The Theatre program also offers supplemental courses in stage combat, makeup, theatre history, auditioning and acting for the camera.

"Paying jobs are one thing. Personal quests are another. And I've been warned that uncovering the facts about dear old mum could be a very bad thing, not just for the Nightside but for all of existence. Still I can't stop...I'm John Taylor. Finding things is who I am. It's what I do. Whatever the consequences...."
Listen to the entire Nightside series.
©2005 Simon R. Green; (P)2008 Audible, Inc.
"Fans of Harry Dresden would find John Taylor a terrific read... but, then again, so would any fan of good, dark urban fantasy" (SF Revu)
"I can now say unequivocally that listening to this story was an immeasurably better experience for me than I had reading (and re-reading) any of the other Nightside novels, as the incredible work done by everyone at Audible makes the story come truly alive." (Green Man Review)
"Green Man Review's Review"
I can now say unequivocally that listening to this story was an immeasurably better experience for me than I had reading (and re-reading) any of the other Nightside novels, as the incredible work done by everyone at Audible makes the story come truly alive. Until I started using an iPod to listen to audiobooks while taking a long morning walk around the downtown area of the city I live in, I had never really appreciated the experience of a well-crafted audiobook, as I simply can't listen to them when I'm doing anything else. All of the Nightside novels are told in the first person singular, as narrated by John Taylor himself. Think Philip Marlowe or perhaps Lew Archer. Yes, he's hard bitten. Cynical. And Marc Vietor's voice work which clearly indicates that he's seen everything life can possibly throw at him. Indeed Vietor truly makes Taylor, his world, and all of the other characters come alive for me in a way that they don't quite do on the page. At best, I can just say the voice work is perfect. And Marc Vietor does all of the Nightside novels! So I envy the hours upon hours of great fiction awaiting you when you listen to all of the Nightside novels!

"Love the audio"
Originally posted at FanLit:
Hex and the City is the fourth novel in Simon R. Green's NIGHTSIDE series. I've been listening to NIGHTSIDE on audio lately because I've been doing a lot of home improvements, especially painting, and NIGHTSIDE is such an easy read that I don't ever have to stop and rewind, which is something you don't want to do when you've got paint all over your hands. Audio readers know what I mean.
In Hex and the City, John Taylor is moving on to his next case in the seedy and decadent Nightside where it's always 3 AM. This time Lady Luck has hired him to discover the origins of the Nightside, something Taylor wanted to do anyway. During his investigation he meets some people/creatures who were fundamentally involved in the establishment of the Nightside. He begins to confirm his suspicion that his own mother, whom he doesn't even remember, is someone rather important. He's not sure what she is or what it means for his own status in the Nightside, but the more he learns, the more nervous he gets.
The NIGHTSIDE books are quick, easy, and fun reads. Their strength is Green's setting: the Nightside is bursting with flavor. It's the kind of place you wish you could view in person — through three feet of warded Kevlar-enhanced plexiglass. Life is both dark and colorful in the Nightside, and it's brutal, too. Simon populates the Nightside with some crazy characters (many of whom you've seen before, but not necessarily all together in one city). Each installment introduces a couple more of them and also lets us spend time with some of our old favorites. In Hex and the City we meet a succubus named Pretty Poison who falls in love with Sinner, the man who sold his soul for true love. Then there's Madman, who was sane until he got a glimpse of what lies behind "reality," and the Lamentation who is the God of Suicides. We didn't get to see Razor Eddie, Dead Boy, or Shotgun Suzie in Hex and the City, but I feel certain that they'll show up in a future installment.
After reading four NIGHTSIDE novels back to back, it's obvious how repetitive the narrative and dialogue are. Green often uses the same words and phrases over and over. For someone who read the books as they came out originally, this may not be quite as noticeable, but even in the same book Green tends to use the same phrases repetitively. Of course this isn't a series I'm reading for its "literary merit" but it's also one of the reasons I can't give it a higher rating. Another reason is Green's tendency to put John in a situation that we're told is absolutely hopeless and then to create a deux ex machina (usually in the form of one of his friend's, or his own, heretofore unknown superpowers) to suddenly obliterate the unstoppable foe. Characters, places, and situations in the Nightside seem to constantly trump each other with their own outrageousness, making everything a bit over the top. Still, I'm looking forward to learning, along with John Taylor, more about the Nightside, his mother, and his own destiny.
I'm listening to Marc Vietor read the audiobook version, which was produced by Audible Frontiers. Vietor does a great job with all the characters. I like the audio so much that I've purchased the rest of the series at Audible.
"Ending Too Long"
As usual for this author, the book contains great imagery. But, the last third of this book could have been reduced by half. Much of the latter dialog interferes with the flow. It could have been 5-star.
"They are getting better"
I keep groaning over these books but as soon as I finish one I'm on to the next. The writing is improving and the story is starting to get good. Still predictable but always fun. If not a bit tongue in cheek.
"over descriptive"
I have read the previous Nightside books and thought they were well written and moved along at a good pace. I was disappointed with this story line as I felt the author spent much too much time in describing the scene and/or character. I would get the idea long before he finished his narrative and lose track of the story line and why were where we were.
No, I will try another Nightside book and I believe Marc Vietor does a great job portraying John Taylor
I used to whistle while I worked. Now I read a book!
"Much darker storyline"
Not sure, this one had a much darker storyline than the first book that I read.
The story wasn't as fun\cheesy as the first book that I read, I missed that element. It was also a bit too convoluted(too many characters)
Definitely, yes!
Yeah, go out and serch for rainbows, lol.
I agree that it's not high literature, but it's a highly entertaining read all the same! I especially love the narrator- his gritty, occasionally melodramatic, always wry and deadpan delivery is perfect for the text. This is the first one that actually made me tear up a bit at a particularly poignant scene.
"Good Easy Listen"
In the fourth book of the Nightside series, private investigator, John Taylor, is hired to find out the origins of the Nightside by Lady Luck. John gathers together Madman, Sinner and Sinner's girlfriend, the demon succubus, Pretty Poison, to help investigate. Like all the Nightside books so far, this was a good listen. There's not a lot of hidden meaning in the books but they are enjoyable and easy to listen to while doing other tasks (such as huffing and puffing in my workout). I was surprised that we, the readers, found out this early in the series who John's mother is. For some reason, I expected the author to carry that mystery on a bit longer.
Marc Vietor is a good narrator. He's got that gritty, noir detective voice that suits the story well.
"Gotta love the Nightside"
What can I say - another great Simon R. Green and his strange and weird Nightside!

Still, when the dust settled, it was the American neo-Western No Country for Old Men that took top honors at the Kodak Theatre ceremony. Besides being named Best Picture, the drama won Oscars for its Directors Joel and Ethan Coen, who were also honored for their Adapted Screenplay. (See a list of the night's big winners.)
The U.K. was well represented – by Best Actor Daniel Day-Lewis, for There Will Be Blood, and Best Supporting Actress Tilda Swinton, for Michael Clayton. France's Marion Cotillard was named Best Actress for La Vie en Rose and Spain's Javier Bardem won Best Supporting Actor for No Country.
In all, the Coens' violent tale of a psychotic killer on the trail of drug money won four Oscars. The offbeat comedy Juno was cited for Best Original Screenplay.
For Day-Lewis, the night brought his second Oscar, this time for his role as a ruthless oilman. His first Oscar was for 1989's My Left Foot.
Accepting his Oscar from last's year's The Queen Best Actress winner Helen Mirren, Day-Lewis said, "That's the closest I'll ever come to getting a knighthood."
Finding the HumanityBefore the ceremony, the London-born actor, 50, was asked about finding the humanity in his role as Daniel Plainview, who cheats, steals, disinherits his son and even murders.
The actor replied, "I think that part of his life took care of itself. It is the other stuff he had to go mining for."
When Bardem won early in the ceremony he said, "Whoa! This is pretty amazing. I have to speak fast here, man."
He not only spoke fast, he spoke in Spanish, to deliver a speech to his mother, to whom he dedicated his award. She sat in the audience, choked up at the sight of her son on the Kodak Theatre stage.
"Mom, this is for you ... for Spain, and for all of us," he said in Spanish. "Thank you very much."
A Surprised SwintonA totally surprised Swinton captivated the crowd when she accepted for her supporting role.
"Happy Birthday, man," she said as she clutched her little golden boy – which she explained she will be giving to her agent, Brian Swardstrom, because he looks just like Oscar, from the top of his head "to his buttocks, it must be said."
Amy Sancetta / AP
Marion Cotillard, 32, who won for the biopic of singer Edith Piaf La Vie en Rose, was giddy onstage. "We'll, I'm speechless now," she said. "Thank you, life. Thank you, love. It is true, there are some angels in this city [Los Angeles]."
Bourne WinnersThe technical categories were practically a clean sweep for The Bourne Ultimatum, which won three Oscars – for Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Film Editing. There Will Be Blood won for its Cinematography. "Falling Slowly," from Once, was chosen Best Song.
Presenters of note included Nicole Kidman, who gave an honorary Oscar to venerable 98-year-old production designer Robert Boyle, whose filmography includes Alfred Hitchcock's North By Northwest, and Owen Wilson, who handed out the Oscars for film shorts.

ALBANY – Raising much-needed money to mount a serious campaign against incumbent State Sen. Mark J. Grisanti will become even more difficult for Democrat Michael L. Amodeo following release of a poll Monday showing him badly trailing the Buffalo Republican.
The Siena College poll found that 47 percent of likely voters in the Erie County district support Grisanti, while Amodeo, a Hamburg lawyer, is far behind with just 23 percent.
The presence of other challengers in the race is having a clear effect: Charles M. Swanick, the former chairman of the County Legislature who lost the Democratic primary to Amodeo but is still in the race on the Conservative Party line, was supported by 17 percent of voters.
It is uncertain how much of a campaign Swanick is running, based on his new – and lackluster – fundraising and spending report filed late Friday with the state Board of Elections, but pollsters said they believe that Swanick's presence is helping Grisanti.
Gregory L. Davis, an attorney running on the Working Families Party line, drew 6 percent.
The poll's release came as Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who has been criticized by some Democrats for being too cozy with Senate Republicans, endorsed his first Senate Democrat – an incumbent lawmaker from Queens. But Republicans said the governor's move – which they insisted was not a surprise, since the lawmaker, Joseph P. Addabbo Jr., backed Cuomo's plan legalizing gay marriage rights last year – could now give the governor some political breathing room to endorse some Senate Republicans such as Grisanti.
"It could," acknowledged the Senate's deputy majority leader, Thomas W. Libous, a Binghamton Republican.
Libous said the governor has already offered "somewhat of an endorsement" of Grisanti through local appearances during the year and by helping him to get important pieces of legislation approved. He noted that Grisanti, as well as Libous himself, used Cuomo's image in recent campaign ads on television – a move that Cuomo did not protest.
"I'm not certain the old-fashioned 'I support Joe Jones' has to be done. There are other ways you can show support, …and I think the governor has been supportive of key members of our [GOP] conference, and Mark is one of them," Libous said.
Cuomo was coy Monday about possibly backing other Senate Democrats or Republicans, saying that any other endorsements in the weeks ahead would be made on "a case-by-case" basis.
Grisanti, a former Democrat who turned Republican to run for the seat two years ago, is running in a newly redrawn 60th Senate District, in which Niagara County was carved out of it and several towns south of Buffalo were plunked in. The new district is 2-to-1 Democratic over Republican in voter enrollment and, according to the poll, favors President Obama over Republican Mitt Romney.
Steve Greenberg, the Siena pollster, said the field of candidates is "splitting the anti-Grisanti vote" in the campaign.
Democrats will likely use the poll results to call Swanick a spoiler whose presence is helping Grisanti.
Grisanti got backing from 61 percent of Republicans polled in the district, 59 percent of independents and 34 percent of Democrats. He has been politically cozy with Cuomo, whose popularity is high in the district despite losing all Western New York counties in his election campaign two years ago.
"If Grisanti was opposed by a single candidate, this race might be more interesting, since his support falls below 50 percent," Greenberg said, adding that Grisanti "appears to be in a commanding position."
For Amodeo, name recognition is clearly a problem: The poll found him to be unknown to more than half the likely voters. With little sign, so far, of major Democratic Party money coming into the race to help him, Amodeo's challenge is how to raise his profile in so little time with not enough funds to launch a serious advertising campaign.
Grisanti has a 59 percent favorability rating among voters. Swanick got 30 percent rating, and Amodeo trails with 25 percent, the poll found.
In the 60th, Obama leads Romney, 54 percent to 40 percent, a level that ordinarily would be seen as a benefit to a challenger such as Amodeo.
<INLINENOTE>Nearly one-third of voters in the district said job creation is the single most important issue, double that of education or health care and triple the level for property taxes.
A Senate Democratic spokesman, in a written statement, did not specifically address the poll's findings for the 60th Senate District. "There remain a half-dozen Republican-held districts in play yet to be publicly polled. With campaigns just beginning in earnest and funding differences greatly reduced, Democrats are well positioned to gain the seats necessary to reclaim the majority," said Mike Murphy, the Democratic spokesman.
In the response from the Senate Republicans, spokesman Scott Reif used Cuomo's name twice in two sentences – once to note Amodeo's opposition to part of Cuomo's property tax law and the other to note Grisanti's work with Cuomo to pass a University at Buffalo expansion law last year.</INLINENOTE>On the fundraising side, Senate Republicans last week pumped $100,000 into Grisanti's campaign. With the Democratic enrollment advantage in the district and local Democrats vowing to mount a serious get-out-the-vote effort for Amodeo on Election Day, Libous insisted Monday that the help for Grisanti will not slow despite the new poll showing him with a big lead.
Last week, Amodeo said his new filing with the Board of Elections would show about $10,000 in the bank; his report, due last Friday, was not listed on the board's website Monday.
Grisanti's report Friday showed him with $50,000 on hand. He raised only $3,600 in the last several weeks, but his overall balance was pumped up by the $100,000 from Senate Republicans. Two weeks earlier, the GOP gave Grisanti $78,000.
The $100,000 – the largest donation by Senate Republicans to one of their own in the last three weeks – was needed by Grisanti. His campaign shows him spending $160,000 during the brief election window after the primary – all but $10,000 of that on a television ad campaign.
Swanick's new filing shows hardly any activity. He raised only $2,500 from one source – an individual living in Virginia. He got $600 from in-kind contributions, mostly for office space in Buffalo.
In addition, Swanick still lists the $35,000 in liabilities – to himself – from loans he provided the campaign before the primary. His campaign listed $600 in expenses in the last three weeks, though the details were not listed on the Board of Elections website. He reported $12,807 on hand.

PDPW Offers Business Financial Decision Making with Notable Business Coaches October 17-18
PDPW Offers Business Financial Decision Making with Notable Business Coaches October 17-18
Dairy producers can kick their business skills up a notch when they spend October 17-18 with notable business coaches Dr. David Kohl, professor emeritus from Virginia Tech, and Dr. Allan Gray of Purdue University.
The Business Financial Decision Making Conference in Oshkosh, Wis. will offer producers a chance to think like a CFO and get engaged in the financial aspects of their dairy business in a very hands-on, interactive way.
From a macro-perspective, attendees will learn the truths about the "fiscal cliff" and the economic indicators that need close attention. Then, from a micro perspective, the business coaches will target on-farm decision making. Sessions include:
- "The BIG Picture: What Matters to Dairy?" Dr. Kohl will discuss the interconnectedness of global economies, untangle the web of events happening in Europe, help us understand the impact of China, and explain how these ultimately influence your profits and balance sheet.
- "Buy, Sell or Sit: What do the Numbers Say?" Dr. Allan Gray will provide a thorough analysis of major strategic decisions such as large capital expenditures or mergers and acquisitions.
- "Crunching the Numbers." Laptop computers will be provided for this small-group session to analyze the financial spreadsheets of a case business.
- "Let's Make a Deal." This after-dinner session will allow attendees to put newly learned financial skills, decision-making tools and negotiating skills to practical use.
- "Deal, No Deal." With negotiating practice complete, attendees will discover the power and financial advantage of saying "deal" to some decisions and "no deal" to others.
For details and registration information, visit www.pdpw.org, or call the PDPW office at 800-947-7379.
Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin is a dairy-producer founded organization that provides educational programs and services to fellow dairy producers. PDPW's mission is "to share ideas, solutions, resources, and experiences that help dairy producers succeed."

quote: More importantly, if the US keep on escalating the conflict with North Korea
quote: The threat is the latest in a series of jabs between the U.S. and the defiant Asian military dictatorship. Following its decision to scrap the armistice, the U.S. conducted war games in SK. NK responded by cutting a key phone line used as one of the only diplomatic channels between the North and the South. In an apparent response to the line cutting, the U.S. proceeded with a test of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers over North Korea, which according to U.S. Forces Korea "demonstrates the United States' ability to conduct long-range, precision strikes quickly and at will."
quote: Letting your Airforce enter the Airspace of an enemy country isn't exactly known as softspoken diplomacy. The above chain of events is the exact definition of an escalation, whenever NK barks, the US and SK bark back.

A propos the discussions on our Cycle Chic Guide #3 - Cycling in Skirts and Dresses about how skirtguards are hard to find in North America we thought we'd be creative. Or at least tell other people to be creative.
Initially, I considered rallying the Cycle Chic troops for a Skirtguard Activism Event. Getting everyone who reads this blog in countries where skirtguards and other basic bicycle equipment are scarce to show up at their local bicycle shop and ask if they have skirtguards. All over the world at the same time of day, bicycle shop assistants would be bewildered about requests for this alien accessory. They would chat about it on their forums and Google's most searched for word would be "skirtguard"... or "skirtguard + paris hilton sex video" - at least for a few hours.
But hey. Skirtguards aren't that hard to make. If you have a fender you could easily attach a home-made version. The photo at the top was taken in Riga, Latvia at the Dreams on Wheels exhibition. It's an old Soviet bicycle with a crocheted skirtguard fitted by drilling holes in the fender and attaching them to a thingy down by the middle of the wheel.
Here's a modern version on a new Viva bike. Looks rather simple. You can use whatever colour you like. Be creative. Many bicycles have a little eyelet on the back forks which is perfect for attaching stuff.
These two examples show the way most skirtguards looked for decades.
Here's an alternative if you're good with scissors and crap with a drill. Get a piece of fabric of some sort and cut it out so that it drapes over the fender.
The hand-written text reads, from left: Fingerprint reader, Theft Secured, GPS Survelliance, Neighbourhood Watch. :-)
Here's another inspirational example of the 'drape-over-fender-version'
A screen that clips onto the fenders is one of the most popular versions here in Denmark. Perhaps they're not THAT practical since I seen them lying around the streets quite often. Maybe you just need to secure a bit better.
The cool thing is you can customise them as you please, painting on them or stickering them. See the now defunct Jollybike for more inspiration.
Alternatively, you can merely place a large object - in this case your girlfriend - on the back rack and your coattails will be just fine.
There is a tutorial out there about making your own with fabric and plastic strips. Practical but not that Cycle Chic.
Any bright ideas out there, darling readers? Do share. Do share.

These were just added in NBA 2k13, fyi, and they look like crappy practice uniforms.

Alshon's Athletic Bloodlines Run Deep (AND CATCH EVERYTHING)

Why not get a pure white one like the Lakers are having or get an orange one or something?

Thanks MJ-Bulls for the picture.
I'd guess because orange has nothing to do with the Bulls or Christmas?
