Paralegals & the Bar
With many able students unable to get pupillages, the Bar is getting wise to the advantages of legal assistants (with important caveats). Gerard McDermott QC explains why he employs law graduates
The Bar has always been very adaptable and used a business model aimed at keeping overheads low.
We also offer a service that is very personal, offering advice and advocacy which is our own work product. Most of the Bar operates from within chambers with clerks and perhaps some administrative assistance but very little personal support, either in terms of managing their practice or workload. Over the last ten years or so I have operated somewhat differently, perhaps not radically so, but certainly in a way that I think makes me more efficient and offers a better service to solicitors.
Most of my work is managed in a wholly conventional way through chambers in London and Manchester. However, I have set up an office in Stalybridge, a town in East Manchester, from where my wife, an expert witness, also operates. Previously, we both worked from home but wanted dedicated working space.
I had always maintained close links with Manchester University and took research assistants from time to time. At around the time that we took on the Stalybridge premises, they asked if I would see a very able student who had not yet got pupillage. I agreed to do so and offered her a job to work full time as a legal assistant. Neither of us knew quite how it would work, but work it did and since then I have always used legal assistants to help me run my practice. I engage at least one assistant full time and often two. I became aware of how many able students were failing to get pupillages – very often only as a matter of luck. I also became aware of how few opportunities there were for those in that situation.
I am often asked what my assistants do for me and how I manage them. The first thing to say is that they are full-time employees, paid an appropriate salary and work in an office next to mine which is fully resourced and managed. They complement my clerks but for many solicitors they are the first point of contact and they manage my diary and workload. I have a caseload of quite a large number of catastrophic injury and clinical negligence cases. Typically when I receive a new case they will prepare a summary of the materials so that I can see what the case involves before I start working on it. They are also allocated cases so that solicitors will know who to approach with any queries about an individual case and they will also keep cases up to date with supplementary materials and the like. One particular function, which is useful for both me and those who instruct me, is that one assistant will attend most conferences and will prepare an attendance note – one that is done in my style and which is invaluable when I return to the papers for the next conference or piece of written work. Likewise they will attend most trials and hearings, keeping a note of the evidence and generally helping with preparation.
They also work with me preparing research notes, cross referencing evidence for cross examinations, preparing authorities bundles and, on occasions, drafts from which I can prepare pleadings and advices.
In many respects much of what they undertake is what a pupil might do. But it is not pupillage and it extends into practice management including diary, travel and expenses management, and carrying out many tasks that individual barristers undertake themselves. They also do quite a lot of marketing for me and write articles, blogs and run one of my Twitter accounts. I am fortunate to have a practice which enables me to support these assistants but I have no doubt that they make me more efficient. They also keep me up to date and help manage the workload in the BSB entity that I have established.
What would my advice be to anyone considering doing this?
Advertise openly and take time on the selection process – these are sought after positions and many able people are out there.
Make sure the position is properly resourced with office space, equipment, computer and telephone.
Pay an appropriate salary and make sure all expenses and overtime are paid.
Have a clear idea of what the job description will involve.
If possible have them work in an adjacent room – so that they feel part of your practice and can help you develop it.
Take time to teach them about the work you are doing – if done properly this will be invaluable to them as they go through pupillage selection and move into practice.
Of course this won't work for everyone but I encourage those in a position to do so to try it. This way of working will make you more efficient and better organised. But it is also valuable to the assistants themselves. I am sure that each of those who worked for me would have secured pupillage in the end, but I have a proud record in that all of the eight permanent full-time assistants I have had over the years have moved onto pupillage followed by tenancy, or a training contract followed by full-time employment as a solicitor. I hope they gained something from working with me – I know I gained a huge amount from working with them.
Contributor Gerard McDermott QC, Outer Temple Chambers
Obligations & considerations
Barristers and chambers interested in employing research assistants should have particular regard to rules C89-90 of the BSB Handbook, which include requirements to ensure that 'all non-authorised persons working in your chambers' are competent and aware of relevant provisions of the Handbook. Alternatively, rC86 provides for situations in which support services 'critical to the delivery of legal services' are outsourced to third parties (so not employees, pupils or devils). Bar Council guidance on your obligations when considering an outsourcing arrangement can be found on the Bar Council Ethics Hub here.

Connecting with the Future
March 29, 2012 @ 9:30am to 10:45am
Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center
Panela Leung and Katie Smith
USITT Conference
Connecting with the Future will be held Thursday March 29th, from 9:30am - 10:45 am. It is the third session in a series presented in collaboration with 5D: The Future of Immersive Design, at the 2012 USITT Conference & Stage Expo in Long Beach.
This year's panel will complement the work from the past two years, where immersive design-thinking, collaboration, and theatre experiences were explored.
The world of narrative design is changing fast. Immersive Design leads to deeper engagement for the audience and doing so means a shift in how designers think and work together. Three-dimensional projections, real time manipulation, and trans-media interactions are dynamic tools for the stage.
Connecting with the Future will feature key pioneers who are incorporating cutting edge technology and collaboration techniques into the performing arts in truly innovative ways.
Connecting with the Future's Panel will consist of Alex McDowell and Roger Parent.
Alex McDowell is the co-founder of 5D and an award-winning production designer for films such as Minority Report, Fight Club, and Watchmen. He is an advocate for immersive design and, in 2010, served as production designer for Death and the Powers, a new opera by Todd Machover, presented in cooperation with Opera of the Future of MIT Media Lab and the American Repertory Theatre in Boston.
Roger Parent is the founding president of Realizations.net, creating unique digital environments and most recently providing the software and interactive video support for the Metropolitan Opera's New Wagner Ring Cycle. As the former vice-president of production for Cirque du Soleil, he was instrumental in creating the collaborative process that propelled Cirque to the performance powerhouse it is today.

SaaS (Security-scanning as a Service)
We've had some enquiries from customers recently regarding security compliance scans, the most popular of which is the PCI DSS. For those not in the know, this stands for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It is of course a fascinating topic, covering best-practice standards for processing and storage of customer information.
The enquiries we get relate to a security scan carried out by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). The usual report format is a list of potential "vulnerabilities" detected, with a severity rating of 1 to 5 assigned to each. Anchor's shared hosting servers never have any problems with this, so the report reads like a missal of mundanity.
TCP port 21 is open, an FTP service appears to be running! Crazy, I know…
The thing is, this scan is really just one small part of a much larger framework. The core requirements of the PCIDSS don't specify at all how the scan should be performed; it's really about secure storage and transmission of data, and accountability and auditing.
Do our customers' applications really encrypt the data they store in the database? I don't know, but it sure isn't checked as part of the scan. Requirement 6 is "Develop and maintain secure systems and applications". Mm-hmm, that's a good idea…
Security is really a commodity nowadays, a fact highlighted most perfectly in the vending of SSL certificates. In case you hadn't guessed, the PCIDSS scans we've seen can proudly join the ranks. Thankfully there are scanners who really know where their towel is, looks good to me!

Watch: Bertha breaks through Seattle waterfront tunnel
Bertha has broken through.
The world's largest tunnel-boring machine completely broke through the north end of the tunnel shortly before noon Tuesday.
Gov. Jay Inslee was on site to watch, and lauded the breakthrough as a success for Washingtonians.
"This is a big milestone for a bold project," he said. "And this is a big and bold state. Today, we've got ourselves a tunnel."
State Secretary of Transportation Roger Millar also applauded the success of a project he inherited, but didn't fail to mention it being "a little" behind schedule (27 months, to be specific).
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray called it a "transformative moment" for the city.
Inslee deflected questions about whether the state will be on the hook for any cost overruns. The total project to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct was budgeted for $3.1 billion, with $1.4 billion going toward the tunnel itself. But the contractor has filed claims with its insurer for added costs in the hundreds of millions and WSDOT has already returned to the state Legislature to ask for millions in additional funding.
"There's going to be other days to talk about paying for this," Inslee said. He added that "the only thing I've seen that's stronger [than Bertha] is King Kong."
The massive boring machine launched in 2013 and broke down after drilling only 1,000 feet. Crews spent much of 2014 digging a pit to reach the machine so it could be pulled out and repaired. After being shut down for more than two years, she began digging again in 2016.
RELATED: Watch: A whole new view of Bertha and the Seattle tunnel
Now that she's through, the machine will take three more weeks to complete its efforts building the rings behind it and getting out of the shaft, Dixon said.
And then work will continue in the shaft building the upper roadway along with removing the infrastructure that supported the mining operation.
"We're not at the fourth quarter, we're only at about halftime," said Joe Hedges, program administrator for the Viaduct Replacement project.
RELATED: After the viaduct: More waterfront traffic
The "fourth quarter" won't really come until late 2018, when WSDOT takes possession of the tunnel and begins testing before a planned early 2019 opening of the tunnel to traffic (for a toll, by the way).
Despite the impressive progress of the machine over the last 15 or so months, the project is still 27 months behind its original schedule.
And what of Bertha once her work beneath Seattle is a wrap? Dixon said the machine will be cut into 20-ton pieces and hauled out of the breakthrough pit to be trucked away. It doesn't appear as though she'll be digging anymore massive tunnels in the near future.

Former Capital FM and Xfm presenter Richard Bacon is in a coma after being admitted to hospital last week.
The Sun reports the BBC host is fighting for his life in a medically induced coma after contracting a mystery respiratory virus.
Richard tweeted on July 5th that he was in A&E after getting ill on a plane arriving back in Britain. He said he was taken off the plane in a wheelchair and posted a photo of him with 10 wires strapped to his chest in a hospital bed.
Richard was being treated for pneumonia before his condition took a turn for the worse and had to be put into a medically induced coma, a source told the newspaper.
He now lives in LA working for Fox hosting a television show about the news.
Thank God I got ill in Britain (actually on the way to Britain, was taken off the plane in a wheelchair). Fuck all the ideology driven politicians who've messed up America's healthcare system. Viva the NHS. Happy 70th. pic.twitter.com/ABEhSZXiRK

A next-generation driver air bag was a major element in the supplemental restraint system that included the steering wheel, steering column, instrument panel knee blocker. These elements combined with seat belts, which were the primary occupant restraint system and must always be worn properly, to provide the driver with significant crash protection.
Next-generation air bags incorporated a new hybrid inflator module that used a small amount of pyrotechnic material with compressed argon gas. A new igniter triggers combustion of the pyrotechnic material and a consistent, controlled release and expansion of the compressed gas that takes a few milliseconds longer than before to fill the air bag. A small amount of pyrotechnic produced few particulates. An SRS logo molded into the trim cover denoted the presence of the air bag and that next-generation air bags were still supplemental restraints.
When the driver contacted the next-generation air bag, the steering wheel absorbed and distributed the load to the steering column. Subtle variations in cross-sectional shape and material thickness of the new Concorde and Intrepid wheel's die-cast magnesium armature, developed through the use of computerized finite element analysis, ensure efficient load distribution in milliseconds. The steering column reacted with the body structure, deforming to absorb some energy and transferring some. The die-cast magnesium column assembly and steel lower mounting bracket provided a combination of strength and deformability to help control driver impact loads. A telescoping intermediate steering shaft assembly collapsed during impact to help avoid transmitting impact forces from the body structure to the steering column.
Further, the steel knee bolster behind the steering column lower cover deformed and also transferred loads to the body structure through brackets and struts to help manage impact energy for driver protection.
Passenger Air Bag
A next-generation passenger air bag was standard on Concorde and Intrepid. As with the driver air bag, it was certified to comply with the recently revised FMVSS 208. Passenger air bag inflators used a small amount of liquid fuel to trigger a consistent, controlled release of compressed argon gas stored in a pressure cylinder that takes a few milli-seconds longer than before to fill the air bag. The new Concorde and Intrepid were the first domestic US vehicles to use liquid fuel for the passenger air bag. Benefits of this liquid-fuel inflator included:
The next-generation passenger air bag, seat belts, the instrument panel knee bolster in the glove compartment door, and the body structure managed crash energy for milli-seconds to provide significant crash protection in frontal impacts.
The passenger air bag module was mounted directly on the instrument panel's structural retainer, concealed by the padded instrument panel's seamless outer surface. A concealed air bag door, also attached to the retainer, separated the outer skin of the panel when the air bag deploys. An SRS Air Bag logo molded into the instrument panel cover denoted the presence of the air bag and served as a reminder that next-generation air bags were still supplemental restraints.
Air Bag Control Module
The air bag control module (ACM) provided the following new features:
A more stringent, extended head impact safety standard (FMVSS 201) was being phased in between the 1999 and 2003 model years. The 1998 Concorde and Intrepid complied in advance partly through trim refinements:
Dynamic Side Impact Protection
The ability of the new Concorde and Intrepid body structures to protect passengers in a side impact collision, as required by the US Government, was integrated into the body structure with a minimum of additional weight. The ability to absorb impacted energy and minimized intrusion was efficiently distributed around the periphery of the passenger compartment structure:
Steering Wheel and Steering Column
The ductility of the magnesium steering wheel allowed it to deform effectively during impact for driver protection. The steering column provided effective support for the driver air bag. Column mounting was sturdy to ensure consistent air bag positioning during frontal impact.
Rear Impact-Resistant Front Seats
All new Concorde and Intrepid front seats were designed to absorb energy from rear impacts for occupant protection. This protection was provided over and above the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Structural strength was distributed throughout the seats, including tracks, frames and recliner mechanisms on both sides of each back. Head restraints were also larger, farther forward and have a maximum adjustable height 0.87 in. (22 mm) higher than in 1997. The new head restraints also had positive latches to prevent downward pressure from lowering them, and were not removable.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system was operated by a new control module that plugs directly onto the BCM (Body Control Module), simplifying assembly and increasing reliability. The new module allowed the use of up to four transmitters per vehicle. It also allowed an owner to have RKE installed on the car by a dealer. An external antenna added to the receiver provided increased range, enabling it to receive signals from transmitters at a distance of at least 40 feet (12 m).
New transmitters sent a unique coded signal that changed in an indecipherable manner each time a button on the transmitter was pressed. Rolling code thwarts would-be thieves who would attempt to unlock the vehicle by capturing and reproducing the code with a scanner or by transmitting a massive number of codes from a random signal alternator among which one would duplicate the code of a valid transmitter.
A vehicle theft security alarm (VTSA) was optional. It detered vandalism and non-professional theft, frequently lowering insurance premiums, by monitoring door ajar switches, the ignition circuit, power door lock and unlock circuits and a trunk lid lock sensor. If a switch or sensor was triggered, the horn blew intermittently, exterior lights flash and the ignition was disabled to prevent theft of the vehicle. The VTSA was automatically armed by locking the doors with any power lock switch or with the remote keyless entry transmitter. A warning lamp on top if the instrument panel flashes.
To discourage theft and illegal entry, new lock cylinders each had an additional tumbler. In addition, a side-bar alignment notch reduced the possibility of theft through the use of substitute keys and the possibility of accidentally unlocking the wrong car by a key with a tumbler sequence nearly identical to the correct one. A new, longer key had an oval, molded head.
HomeLink operated home security systems that used specially coded signals, known generically as rolling codes, to increase security.

castleman bull house on red river

A shame to have a house with such history sit all torn to pieces instead of restoring. I understand it takes money to restore, but serves no purpose sitting there for vandals. This home was in my ex-husband's family, his great uncle was Howard Bull and his wife Sue both lived in the house before moving to Windsor Rd, in Austin. Uncle Howard died at age 102! This man was a world of facts and stories! So wish my son's could have spent more time with him.

McDonald's Goes Local
McDonald's has debuted a new campaign for Washington State to show exactly how much of its menu is locally sourced.
The fast-food chain has created a microsite that lists specific products and their origin. For instance, the site states that 95 percent of McDonald's fries and Filet-O-Fish fillets and 85 percent of the apples served in Washington State come from Washington.
Billboards for the campaign show fries and a potato with a headline that reads: "Served in Seattle, Grown in Pasco." However, a small disclaimer appears at the bottom: "Participation and duration may vary," which has some industry experts categorizing the campaign as "localwashing."
Eric Giandelone, director of food-service research at Mintel, said the inclusion of the disclaimer on the billboards leaves McDonald's open to criticism because "[the chain] isn't spelling out percents or numbers that we can verify." Giandelone cited a campaign for Chipotle Mexican Grill, which promised to increase its locally grown produce from 35 percent in 2009 to 50 percent in 2010, as part of the "Food with Integrity" program. In fact, Chipotle redesigned nearly all of its marketing efforts in 2010 to reflect that goal.
While eating local is often considered an environmental decision, communities around the nation are embracing the trend in order to keep money in the area. According to a report by Sustainable Seattle, if 20 percent of food sales went to local spending, King County, Seattle, would see a $5 billion annual income increase. But that's if the spending stayed in the county.
Exactly how far can food travel and still be considered local? According to the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture, food in American travels an average of 1,500 miles from its place of origin, with lettuce topping the chart at 2,055 miles. In comparison, CUESA shows that the same food at local farmers markets travels approximately 100 miles. Chipotle said its "local" produce comes from within 250 miles of Chipotle's distribution centers, but there is no government standard that defines use of the word "local."
From Frito-Lay's new "Chip Tracker" to Hellmann's "Real Food Movement," large brands are putting a lot of ad dollars toward touting their local connections. According to Giandelone, the recent local marketing efforts in the food-service sector are all about "removing the impression that they're taking money away from the 'mom and pop' shop that doesn't really exist."

"Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim."
― Vicki Harrison
To be human is to love, and with love comes the possibility of loss. Each person at some point in their lives will experience grief, and each person will experience that grief in their own unique way. There is no correct way to grieve. What's important is we allow ourselves to experience that grief.
Grieving can be frightening and can cause a person to feel a certain loss of control. Some people dam up their feelings because they think that once the floodgates open they will be overwhelmed. What they may not realize is that those feelings will find a way to bubble back up somehow.
As written in a previous post, The Journey of Grief, "It is healing to allow yourself to feel and express whatever complex emotions you encounter. Hiding from your feelings, however, can have a negative impact on your well-being." Anger, depression, sleep disturbances and more can all be signs of unexpressed emotional conflict.
Other people learn to cope with their loss, but later grow frustrated with themselves when they experience the pain anew. They thought they had learned to cope with the pain and had overcome it, and then one day a new wave of emotion comes crashing in.
Grieving is not a linear process. Some days we might feel almost normal, or our new version of normal. Other days we might feel the pain of the loss of our loved one as keenly as the day they left, even years later. This is all a natural part of the experience of grief.
So what can we do instead? We can be gentle with ourselves and practice good self-care. Find activities that give us strength and healing. Go for a walk, connect with our "safe" people, get enough rest, take up a new hobby. We can find our spiritual center and pray or meditate . We can also talk about our loved one and remember the ways that they impacted our life.
All of these things can help make us strong. They can help keep us afloat. That way, when the waves return, we can face them knowing that we will not drown.
Whether the waters of emotion are calm, or the waves are strong, what matters is that we keep trying learn how to swim.

I love having an enjoyable time with girls from throughout the globe, and if you are seeking hot Black ladies, the only location to come is London companions. In South London it has an abundant Caribbean culture, so if you want to date hot Black babes, it is the only place to come to in London. I have tried dating Black babes in various other components of London too, yet the experience has not coincided. In several methods, I have regularly really felt a bit dissatisfied, and I have consistently wound up going back to London to date my hot Black babes.
When I was a youngster, I spent regarding ten years residing in Jamaica. Something concerning the encounter obtained me right into the Caribbean style culture, and as I was maturing, I began to expensive Sexy Black ladies. In the long run, I had my first encounter with a hot Black babe in Kingston Jamaica, as well as since then I have been hooked on Black babes. Yes, I have dating girls from other histories at London companions, but it has always been Black babes that have managed to get my motor running.
There are lots of Sexy Black wonders at London escorts, as well as I just enjoy the method they make me feel. The majority of them have not been living in the UK for a long time, so dating them is a very various encounter from dating Black babes in main London. Most of the girls in central London are as well innovative to allow go, as well as this is something that hot Black women in London are excellent. I like the way Black babes could go from great to completely sultry in merely a couple of tinies, and they massively get me going.
I do not only date London companions behind shut doors. A lot of the hot babes that I date do love to dance, and I have a severe food craving seeing Black women move. Every so often, I do take my Sexy Black wonders out for a dance or more, as well as we might also go to some strip clubs where you can take pleasure in seeing Black females strip. I have seen plenty of women strip, yet I have not truly knowledgeable anything like Black girls. They do it in such design, as well as those turning hips are something else. Seriously, I like it!
Would I date any other ladies, however, my Black lovelies at London escorts? No, I do not think that I would certainly. Occasionally, I believe it is something that I have to leave my HVAC system, yet then I realize that I just get activated by Black ladies. I hope that a person day, I will certainly find a Sexy Black Caribbean prize myself, and also we will certainly be able to appreciate each other. Yes, I love the little voluptuous Caribbean society, as well as I do not think that is ever going to alter. So, if you desire a Sexy Black date, check out London!

My daughter and I used to sit and watch the movie "Practical Magic" nearly once a month. We loved immersing ourselves in the whimsy of witchcraft and the romantic comedy storyline.
The main characters Sally and Gillian Owens are played by actresses Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. The movie is actually a little scary for Children and probably a little childish for adults, but we love sitting and watching it together. Today i went hunting for the DVD, as I was needing a little comfort, I was in bed again, exhausted, not feeling very well. The movie was now where to be found. My darling daughter was out, I am convinced she has it somewhere. As I was under the weather and a little dizzy from tiredness, I gave up. I guarantee I will find it tomorrow, when my head is clearer.
Anyway, my favourite scene is where the sisters wake up one night and the aunts (who are witches) are making "Midnight Margaritas". The song that they dance around the table to is "Lime and the Coconut" I have attached the link below so you can go have a look and see what I am talking about if you haven't seen it for yourself.
Click here to watch "Midnight Margerita's" scene
I love the relationship of the fraternal "Owen's Twins" Sally and Gillian. They were orphaned at a young age and went to live with their Aunts. They were extremely close as young girls and even in adulthood. They have an unconditional love for each other and would do anything for the other. I know it is only a movie, however I crave that sisterly connection. I have been estranged from my sisters for years now. The relationship was strained after our Mother passed away as they disagreed with the executor duties I had to execute as part of fulfilling mum's wishes in her will. I will always love them, and still hope one day that they will agree to disagree, put our differences aside and involve me in their lives again.
The final straw with not seeing them anymore was making a decision to support my partner I was living with. I was invited to my youngest Sister's wedding in Northern NSW and she didn't like my partner, who I had been in a relationship with for about three years and was living with at the time. He wasn't invited and rather than cause a scene at the wedding and cause problems in my relationship with him. I decided not to attend the wedding as a show of love and support to him. I made the decision just a week before the wedding, as I had been tormenting myself in the decision making process for a few months. I really let her down, I know she had already included me in the numbers and paid for the wedding already. It REALLY was such a hard decision to make.
The decision I made, destroyed my relationship with my sisters. The youngest has never forgiven me and the other one without even talking to me cut me out of her life in support of the youngest. My partner never showed any gratitude for this action, all he ever said was that I was better off without them in my life as they treated me like shit anyway. Regardless of how he perceived the relationship, I chose HIM over them. I wonder sometimes, whether I made the biggest mistake of my life. That I should have gone with blood, being that she is my sister. Interesting fact now is that I am not even with that guy anymore. I made that sacrifice and now I have none of them!
I have made peace with that decision. I don't beat myself up about it anymore, like I used it. It is, what it is. I am, where I am. Today, lost in memories of my sister's, I could smile. I had thoughts of when we were children and I remembered in great detail some shenanigans and things we did when we were younger. I was remembering my bedroom in our family home. I was reminiscing about the safe feeling of being tucked into my childhood bed. I was remembering my sisters as being little girls, I giggled when I remembered the lisp the youngest had when she was four. I shed a couple of tears thinking of their chubby cheeks and golden blonde hair. I wasn't sad, just lost in nostalgia and happy thoughts.

Local and state media are invited to join the North Carolina Wildlife Federation staff and volunteers Tuesday on Lake Norman as we erect osprey platforms and deploy artificial rock reeks for fish habitat. There will be opportunities to interview project leaders, film live ospreys, and witness the creation of artificial reefs for fish habitat.
Tuesday, April 17th at 10am – Contact Chris North with questions at 704-332-5696 (704-453-4053 cell on site number) or [email protected]. Meet at the Stutt's Marina 571 Stutts Road, Mooresville, NC 28117. Please rsvp so we can make sure we have enough boats for reporters.
Will we be viewing the rock fish habitat deployment, erection of an osprey nesting platform in the water via a barge and viewing of nesting ospreys on existing platforms already erected.
Osprey poles and platforms provide a safe place for young to be raised and help prevent the raptors from nesting near power lines and lake markers. Seven new locations have been chosen for 2012 deployment adding to the dozens of already established poles and platforms.
The addition of structure on the bottom of the lake is widely used and supported by fisheries managers and is an effective means of habitat enhancement in reservoir systems, ecological systems created for the purpose of hydroelectric power with fish and wildlife and user benefits. Structure enhancement increases the ecological viability of these systems: the project to deploy structure increases food, cover and spawning opportunities thereby providing a win-win situation for members of the public that have a vested interest in improving lake habitat and fishing opportunities.
This project will entail a barge with track and hoe system to deploy hundreds of tons of rock at sites chosen to create deep underwater fish habitat.

A common space for harmonic peacemakers
The generic link for the entire playlist, consisting of 13 YouTube audios/videos, is as follows:
This audio tape, by Dr. Max Hammer, discusses the importance of families and friends helping mothers of infants and young children with emotional support,comfort, and relief, in coping with stress. Furthermore, this video also discusses the basis of developing psychological health and fulfillment.
The compassionate insights presented in this audio tape by the late Dr. Max Hammer should be helpful for people who are coping with stress, emotional hurt, and inner conflict. Furthermore, this discussion should also be helpful to psychotherapists, counselors, life coaches, social workers, clergy involved in pastoral counseling, as well as other human services professionals.
Dr. Hammer's insights are truly experiential, heartfelt, deeply sincere, and useful, not just theoretical or speculative.
For a more extensive, in-depth discussion of Dr. Max Hammer's insights in psychology, spirituality, and interpersonal relationships, see his two published books (with secondary contributing authors Dr. Barry J. Hammer and Dr. Alan C. Butler): 1) Psychological Healing Through Creative Self-Understanding and Self-Transformation (ISBN: 978-1-62857-075-5; Houston: Strategic Book Publishing, 2014). 2) Deepening Your Personal Relationships: Developing Emotional Intimacy and Good Communication (ISBN: 978-1-61897-590-4; Houston: Strategic Book Publishing, 2014).

Fourteen previously unpublished manuscripts by Archibald Geikie are reproduced here for the first time in approximate date order. The earliest identified manuscripts date from 1847: 'Fable One' and 'Frogs Desiring a King'. Geikie was only 12 years old when he wrote these compositions. Others are dated 1852, 1853 and 1857 and were all written early in Geikie's life and are very important for understanding his intellectual development at that time.

Rates, Fees & Insurance
Rates for my therapy and consultation services are along a sliding scale (see below). We will come to an agreement before beginning to work together and either of us can initiate a discussion/re-negotiation around fees, particularly if a hardship or change in circumstances arises. Initial consultation (phone or in-person) is always free as we determine if we'd be a good fit to work together.
Benefactor Level (Full Fee): 10% of fees at this level are contributed to a fund to support clients with extreme hardship or who are very low-income and might not be able to afford therapy without the assistance. 30-min: $75; 45-min: $115; 60 min: $150; 75-min: $185; 90-min: $220. Group sessions (90-min): $50.
Regular Fee: 30-min: $65; 45-min: $100; 60 min: $130; 75-min: $165; 90-min: $200. Group sessions (90-min): $40.
Reduced Fee: 30-min: $55; 45-min: $80; 60 min: $110; 75-min: $135; 90-min: $160. Group sessions (90-min): $30.
Low Fee: 30-min: $40; 45-min: $60; 60 min: $80; 75-min: $100; 90-min: $120. Group sessions (90-min): $20.
Temporary Hardship*: 30-min: $25; 45-min: $40; 60 min: $50; 75-min: $65; 90-min: $80. Group sessions (90-min): $15.
* This hardship is generally not to exceed 2 months *
Insurance Plans
Anthem Blue Cross / UC SHIP
I am an in-network provider for Anthem Blue Cross health insurance plans but have decided to terminate this contract effective late February 2020. This includes the UC SHIP plan for UC Davis students among several other plans. I am out-of-network for all other plans. Please remember, use of insurance is limited to mental health treatment when "medical necessity" is present. When the focus of sessions is more on relationship issues that are not directly impacted by mental health concerns, then insurance will not cover such sessions. In that case, fees must be paid out of pocket (see below).
Out-of-Network Benefits
Do you have another health plan (besides the above) that includes out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health? If so, I would be glad to provide you with a statement (called a superbill) for possible reimbursement. To explore this option, contact your insurance provider and ask if they cover out-of-network therapy services and at what percentage/amount. I can walk you through the rest of the process.
Insurance vs Private Pay
When using insurance (including out-of-network) for therapy, I must share your diagnosis and other personal details with the insurance company. Additionally, insurance may audit your chart to determine "medical necessity" and deny coverage if they deem the services unnecessary or employ a treatment method they do not recognize.
Please speak to me ahead of time if you have any questions or concerns about using your insurance. If you have privacy concerns, you may elect to pay me privately and waive use of your insurance. I'm happy to help you sort through your options.
Affordable Options at Lower Fees
I strive to find ways to make my services accessible while still having a shirt on my back. If the above rates seem like a stretch for your budget, consider the following affordable options:
- Group sessions (approximately 50% the cost of individual sessions – or less – for much more time)
- Short-sessions (25-minutes) if appropriate
- Referral to another provider with lower therapy rates or who accepts your insurance plan or offers a sliding scale.
Keep in mind, if you come for family/polycule sessions, the cost can be spread out and you'll all benefit from the process!
Not sure about the best path forward? Reach out and let's discuss your options.
Give An Hour for Military Families
If you serve or have served our military in any capacity, thank you for your service and sacrifice. I proudly support our military service members, veterans, and our families with their mental health needs.
As a provider for the Give An Hour program, I offer FREE weekly therapy for military service members, veterans, and their families. Eligibility is not tied to discharge status nor do you have to use your insurance (even if you have it). Additionally, I maintain strict confidentiality and do not report back to the military system, chain of command, TRICARE, nor anyone else that you do not explicitly authorize. I focus on you and your needs exclusively. No Red Tape!
I keep open at least one slot per week for this program. Please contact me for current availability and additional details.
Cancellation Policy
Consistency of sessions is an important factor for effective work together. Additionally, I reserve your appointment time just for you and do not double book appointments. Accordingly, I do charge for late cancellations and missed appointments (with limited exceptions). Please plan ahead and prioritize your appointments once scheduled.
I require at least 24-hour advanced notice to cancel to avoid missed appointment charges. As soon as you know you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know so that I have time to offer this appointment to someone else who needs help.
I will send all required forms through a secure online portal for you to complete after our initial consultation. Please complete these 24 hours prior to your appointment. This allows me time to review the document prior to your arrival and prepare accordingly.

The Two Percent Solution
--- Fixing America's Problems in Ways Liberals and Conservatives Can Love
by Matthew Miller
published by Public Affairs

Click on image to purchase.
From Book Description
Suppose someone told you that for just two cents on the national dollar we could have a country where everyone had health insurance, full-time workers earned a living wage, poor children had great teachers in fixed-up schools, and politicians no longer had to grovel to wealthy donors. And suppose that when we were done, government would still be smaller than it was when Ronald Reagan was president. If you're like most people, you'd probably think that for two cents on the dollar this sounds like an intriguing deal. But 2 percent of America's GDP is more than $200 billion a year--way beyond what politicians in Washington think is possible.
Between our proper intuition that 2 percent is a small amount, and the Washington consensus that a 2 percent shift in priorities is beyond imagining, lies the opportunity to transform American politics. In this agenda-setting book, Matthew Miller challenges our country (and those who would lead it) to change the way we think about our public responsibilities before the baby boomers' retirement siphons all the money out of the system. The Two Percent Solution is a call to arms that no serious candidate, Republican or Democrat, can afford to ignore.

Traffic fatalities have been trending down in both Canada and the United States since 2005, but a report from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last week might signal a dangerous reversal of the trend. NHTSA reports there was a significant 4 per cent increase in pedestrian fatalities in 2010, the most recent year for which hard data are available.
A total of 4,280 pedestrians were killed in vehicle-related incidents and another 70,000 injured in 2010 in the United States, marking the first increase since 2005. Published Canadian data only goes as far as 2009, but like the U.S. we too have had a reduction in traffic deaths each year since 2005. Experts have suggested the sudden reversal of the trend line is related to what U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has called the "epidemic" of distracted driving.
It reminded me of a study done by Car and Driver magazine a couple of years ago that showed that texting while driving is more dangerous than driving under the influence of alcohol. The magazine tested two of its staff while driving vehicles at 70 miles per hour on a closed track. One employee was tested while he had a blood alcohol content of 0.08, legally drunk in Ontario. The other was tested while texting. The impaired driver was able to stop his vehicle within four feet of where he stopped while sober. The second driver tried braking while reading a text. His vehicle stopped 36 feet beyond where he stopped when not distracted. Next he tried stopping while sending a text and this time he went an extra 319 feet.
I am absolutely not making a defence for drinking and driving, but the test showed that at least the "drunk" driver had his eyes on the road and stopped faster. The provincial government states that distracted driving is cited as a causal factor in 30 to 50 per cent of traffic collisions in Ontario, but it may be higher due to under-reporting.
I would wager that every day all of you who drive cars will see other drivers texting and talking on hand-held devices. I was nearly run off the road on Highway 400 by a woman in a big SUV who was texting away while nearly pushing me of the shoulder. I think the increase in pedestrian fatalities after a five-year decline has something to do with the explosion of SMS or texting on cellphones.
Ontario's ban on hand-held devices while driving took effect on October, 2009. Using a cellphone or device capable of texting while driving gets you a fine of $155. Watching an entertainment device can gets a fine of $110.
Compare that with the penalties for impaired driving – the first offence means an immediate loss of licence for three months and minimum fine of $1,150. The second offence gets a bigger fine and 30 days in jail. I'm not saying that's too high but I am saying the distracted driving penalties are too low. From looking around on the roads, you can see the threat of a $155 fine hasn't had much of a deterrent effect.
Now let's look a little deeper into the NHTSA numbers on pedestrian fatalities: 68 per cent of pedestrian deaths occurred at night and an amazing 79 per cent happened away from intersections, which likely means jay walkers. I suspect if drivers can be distracted so can pedestrians. How many times have you seen pedestrians oblivious to traffic as they wander along wearing headphones or using cellphones. You've probably seen reports from drivers who say they have nearly hit pedestrians who didn't see them or hear them. However, "distracted walking bills" have gone nowhere.
If, as the Ontario government states, distracted driving is cited as a causal factor in 30 to 50 per cent of traffic collisions and pedestrian fatalities have suddenly spiked up, it's a sure sign that the message about distracted driving being "worse" that drunken driving truly hasn't sunk in.

Hey team!
I hope this email finds you with a good start to your week! I wanted to tell you about our recent Impact Squad visit to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and LeBonheur Children's Hospital. We visited both facilities last weekend and met some of the most amazing families and patients in Memphis, Tennessee. Thank you to each and every volunteer who knitted and crocheted hats until their heart's content over the last several months - it made these visits very special. And thank you to our Impact Squad of nursing students from the University of Tennessee (Bridgett Barrett, Paige Clark and Taylor Coleman) who drove ACROSS THE STATE to serve with us. They did an incredible job encouraging patients and their families!
Here's the recap video from our visit!
October Project: Halloween at UT Medical Center NICU
One of my FAVORITE projects of the year is upon us! Each year 818 Ministries decks out all of the sweet, tiny warriors at UT Medical Center with cocoons like the one you see pictured below. Pinterest is full of ideas for creative patterns for these guys and they are such a fun treat for the families on, what is often, a not-so-fun day!
Click here to view a WBIR article from last year about the project!
We will be collecting hat + cocoon sets until the end of September to be delivered to them in October - we have two full months! Please ship any donations to:
Rebecca George
PO Box 1403
Brookhaven, MS 39602
Thanks so much for all you do to impact the lives of patients fighting serious illnesses! We couldn't make days like our visit at St. Jude possible without you!
Cheering for you,
Rebecca Dotson George
Executive Director, 818 Ministries
