On the court, there isn't much comparison between current Georgetown star Otto Porter and former Hoya Greg Monroe. But after Porter's No. 2-seeded Hoyas were upset in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Friday, Porter and Monroe have more in common than they'd like.
For more on the story, visit Casual Hoya
Monroe's Hoyas, a No. 3 seed, were upset by No. 14 Ohio University in the first round in 2010. Monroe played well in that game, scoring 19 points on 7-for-11 shooting with 13 rebounds and six assists (though he did have seven turnovers), but his early exit from the NCAA Tournament may have caused him to slip a tad in the draft.
Monroe was selected No. 7 overall by the Detroit Pistons in the 2010 NBA Draft, but has drastically out-performed several of the players taken ahead of him. In fact, with the possible exception of Paul George, Monroe has been the most productive player in his draft class so far.
Porter didn't have as strong a performance as Monroe in his lone NCAA Tournament game this season, finishing with 13 points on just 5-for-17 shooting with 11 rebounds, but he also has the benefit of entering a draft not considered as deep as 2010's. Porter's production during the regular season, 16.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game while shooting 49 percent overall and 43 percent from three-point range, should be more than enough to solidify his status as one of the top prospects available should he enter the draft.
And, as ESPN Draft Insider Chad Ford points out, several other top prospects in this year's draft have already joined Porter on the sidelines of the NCAA Tournament before the first weekend is even complete.

John Rizzo's calm demeanor and steady progressivism may be the antidote to the sordid D5 supervisorial race
Rizzo is a soft-spoken family man who has lived in the same building on Waller Street in the Haight-Ashbury for the last 27 years. Originally, he and Christine, his wife of 25 years, rented their apartment in a tenancy-in-common building before they bought it in the early 1990s, although he's quick to add, "In all the years we've owned it, we never applied for condoship."
He supports the city's limits on condo conversions as important to protecting working-class housing, although he said, "The focus should be on building new affordable housing." That's an issue Rizzo has worked on since joining the Sierra Club's San Francisco Bay Chapter more than 20 years ago, an early advocate for broadening the chapter's view of environmentalism.
He's a Muni rider who hasn't owned a car since 1987.
Michelle Myers, director of the Sierra Club's San Francisco Bay Chapter, said Rizzo brings a wealth of experience, established relationships, and shrewd judgment to his role as the group's political chair. "We really rely on John's ability to weigh what is politically feasible, not just what's ideal in our minds," she told us.
Yet that political realism shouldn't be confused for a lack of willingness to fight for big, important goals. Rizzo has been an advocate for public power in San Francisco for many years, strategizing with then-Sup. Ammiano in 2001 to implement a community choice aggregation program, efforts that led to this year's historic passage of the CleanPowerSF program (with a key vote of support by Olague) over the objections of Mayor Lee and some business leaders.
"CleanPowerSF was carried by John Rizzo, who has been working on that issue for 10 years," Myers said.
Rizzo is a technology writer, working for prospering computer magazines in the 1990s "until they all went away with the dot.com bubble," as well as books (his 14th book, Mountain Lion Server for Dummies, comes out soon).
He sees the "positives and the negatives" of the last tech boom and this one, focusing on solving problems like the Google and Genetech buses blocking traffic or Muni bus stops. "On the one hand, these people aren't driving, but on the other hand, they're unregulated and using our bus stops," he said. "We need to find some solution to accommodate them. Charge them for it, but accommodate them."
That's typical of how Rizzo approaches issues, wanting to work with people to find solutions. As president of the City College of San Francisco Board of Trustees, Rizzo suffered the bad timing of the district having its accreditation threatened just as his supervisorial race was getting underway, but he's steadily worked through the administrative problems that predated his tenure, starting with the criminal antics of former Chancellor Phil Day and continuing with "a management structure still in place, and it had calcified."
Despite being on the campaign trail, Rizzo called the trustees together six times in August to deal with the accreditation problems. "We now have a plan that shows all the things the district needs to do to keep it afloat. City College is back on track."
Eileen Hansen — a longtime progressive activist, former D8 supervisorial candidate, and former Ethics Commissioner — gave her early endorsement to Rizzo, who never really seemed to catch fire. "There hasn't been a lot of flash and I would love for there to be more energy," she admitted.
So, like many progressive leaders, she later offered her endorsement to Davis, believing he had the energy needed to win the race. But after Davis' problems, Hansen withdrew that endorsement and sees Rizzo as the antidote to its problems.
Rizzo's a milquetoast. D5 has always gone for the big hollering firebrands and probably always will. They need someone with more energy and more community engagement — I hardly ever see Rizzo out on the streets or doing stuff in his own neighborhood — unlike Thea Selby. I think she's the logical choice if D5 wants clear progressive leadership AND a chance to get over its history of misogynists.
Thea Rocks City Hall with integrity and strength to represent D5, Like the Gaints rock this year, Thea can do it too. She has that same attitude, Glad to be alive attitude! Cannot be beat! Let's get it moving and shaking for a great city! I vote Thea.
John might be a boring old white guy, but at least he is not distracted like so many transit advocates with something as cheap as a shiny new parklet so that the Lee Administration might give more of our city away to developers and campaign contributors...Selby is on the board of the Transit Riders Union that is a company union advancing the MTA agenda "from the outside" so that it gets a seat at the table.
Hear here!!!
I'm not distracted by parklets. I'm distracted by the Rizzo's GINO track record screwing over real Greens and real environmentalists in the name of machine endorsements. Everything he's overlooked has gone broke. What are YOU distracted by, exactly?
I like John Rizzo as well. He's got my second vote, no question. He's serious, responsible, has good values and is not a sociopathic egomaniac. We could use more such people.
Like walter, though, I'm going for Thea. All of John's traits plus energy, enthusiasm, real-world experience and a true determination to make all of D5 better. Have you seen her out walking and talking to people all over the District? A sight to behold!
London Breed and Christina Olague are two sides of the same bad coin. Let's vote for a change and better times ahead. Selby: 1. Rizzo: 2.
Thea Selby indeed has the strength, integrity, outspoken-ness to represent D5 in city hall. She is the clear choice when it come to standing up and speaking out with what counts in our beautiful city. She cannot be bought! She is great. Go Thea! Love to see you working for us in City Hall. Your accomplishments truly stand out! You love your job and want to show us what we are made of! Great enthusiasm for live, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
Thea is a NIMBY and (owner move in eviction) specialist. Don't be fooled.
Thea in City Hall! We rock the city with integrity, strength and enthusiasm when she is around.
D5 is a core district for San Francisco progressive politics. Over the past 20 years the voters in D5 have been in the forefront of every important San Francisco progressive issue and campaign, whether it be Prop M that limited out-of-control highrise development, to affordable housing funding, to chain-store restrictions, to medical marijuana, to district elections.
Thea may be a fine person, although anyone who evicts another person from their home like she did (apparently) should never get anyone's vote for public office. But a "fine person" isn't nearly a good enough qualification for a D5 supervisor. Thea may be a perfectly adequate candidate for D2 or D7, but for D5 her candidacy is a joke and should be repudiated by every progressive who lives in D5.
If Thea wants to be taken seriously, let her sit on the College Board or a city commission for a few years where her votes and influence can be evaluated. It's easy to run a political campaign on a bunch of nice platitudes; it's much different sitting on an actual political body and doing the difficult work to make a difference. Thea has no record of any such hard work or difficult decisons. People promoting Thea's D5 candidacy are NOT friends of the progressisve movement by any stretch of the imagination.
John Rizzo is the class candidate for D5. Anyone who has been privy to his work on the College Board knows that he has built meaningful alliances with disparate board members, while spearheading the college's FIRST financial audit three years ago, and helped lead the board in the eventual ouster of City College administrators who were later indicted and convicted for wrongdoing. In contrast to Christina Olague was was always too happy to jump into bed with Michael Antonini by voting to approve one bad project after another on the Planning Commission with few public benefits to show for it, John worked with non-allies to find common ground and pushed City College forward, although there is obviously lots of work that still needs to be done at CCSF.
John Rizzo may be too wonky or unsexy for some, but these are precisely the qualities the city, state and federal governments need to get us out of some serious financial problems. Budgets. Audits. Accountability. Long-term vision. Environmental stewardship. These are the qualities D5 progressives and other residents should be looking for, and not some progressive hack who has decent rhetorical skills but terrible results like a couple of the other so-called progressive candidates.
Vote John Rizzo #1 and feel proud. Then hold your nose (very tightly) and fill out the ballot with your #2 and 3 choices, which are far, far below the quality standard represented by John Rizzo.
Thea is the past President of the Lower Haight Merchants and Neighbors Association and has been involved in neighborhood issues for years--in a contentious and rough and tumble hood. She has taken stands on numerous policy initiatives over a long period of time and has worked hard to get things done. There's plenty of basis for a fair judgment. It's not like she's a novice.
But I'll just disagree with your larger point. I don't think people should run for School Board or City College Board or serve on a city commission unless that is their actual interest or actual goal. Enough of the stepping stones! We deserve better than that. And we need to encourage fresh voices. Thea is connecting with people because she is out there talking and listening every day. Isn't that exactly what we want in a public servant? What good does twenty years in the echo chamber do?
"in a contentious and rough and tumble hood" do you mean that there were knee grows afoot in the Lower Haight, not as many as there used to be, but still?
No, she means that there were (and are) drug dealers, illegally bred pitbulls, abandoned storefronts full of puddles of waste and ak-47s, car fires, armed robberies, hot prowls, slum landlords, and a neighborhood notorious for not calling the police. and a whole bunch of elected folks who said — see Christina Olague's 2008-ish testimonial on the planning commission about a bad MCD — nothing could be done. Selby actually stepped up to the plate with some tenacity and spine and got changes made.
Rizzo's accomplishments are shiny on paper (Sierra Club! City College! Endorsements!) but I want to know what he's done for his neighbors recently. Enough of this toeing-the-progressive-line junk. Maybe if you're running for higher office. But as a Supervisor, if you can get stuff done in the neighborhoods, that's what matters, and Selby can.
Selby has stepped up to each challenge in a neighborhood filled with difficult and life threatening issues. Yes, I agree, why should she serve on a school board such as a city college school board or for things that set her back, like correctly put: echo chambers, and take the true motivation out of her work now? We need her now, not when she has become tired and frustrated by "working her way up thru some machine". Elect her now while she is fresh, working for everybody and getting it done. She has what it takes now, no doubt. Visit her at her headquarters on the lower haight, you will see for yourself. She has the power to add more depth and breath without fear and judgement into city hall than most people could gather through many careers.
It's jaw dropping that anyone would advocate for giving Rizzo the keys to a much greater kingdom.
Troll II, thanks for besmirching the good names of trolls everywhere since your insight and logic are beyond laughable.
Anyone seriously following the debacle at City College realizes that its problems go back decades, long before John Rizzo was elected to the College Board. They would also realize that when John was first elected, he joined a board with some of the most inept and corruptible administrators. No one gets to work in a vacuum, and having to work with unsavory and corruptible people makes reform even that much more difficult.
Rizzo did the smart thing. He studied hard and learned where some of the biggest problems were. He made alliances with non-allies to find areas of mutual concern. And AFTER getting facts straight and building working alliances he pushed to rid the college of its most corrupt administrators, he initiated the FIRST financial audit for the college, and he worked within the progressive community to bring these bland, boring toipics about accounting, and budgets, and accountibility to light and action.
It's so easy for progressives to be pro-sex, pro-drugs, pro-affordable housing, pro-taxes. But the really hard part of governing is budgets, and finances, and audits, and accountability. Not many people want to get their hands dirty on these topics since it's not very easy to figure out what to do, which facts to believe, or determine a reasonable course of action.
John Rizzo stands heads and shoulders above the other D5 candidates precisely because he's willing to get his hands dirty on difficult, complex issues and is able to work with non-allies to push important issues forward, including the very progressive issue of good government and accountibility.
Claiming Rizzo worked himself to the bone to keep City College from falling into its current state is not "accountability." It's bullshit. Were he accountable he'd resign in shame and withdraw from politics entirely - instead he wants to be given control over billions of additional dollars! No thanks.
Troll, now I'm feeling sorry you've likely signed on to support a cad like Julian, or the millionaire developer's bestest friends Olague and Breed, or the lightweight Selby. These are very tough campaign sells in a district that has some of the smartest, best educated, politically aware, and very active voters.
If you were hoping that your ill-chosen candidate(s) might benefit from your tarnishing John Rizzo with the deep-seated, long-simmering problems of City College I wish you well, but I don't think most of the knowledgable voters of D5 are going to buy it. John has been one of the few people actually working extremely hard to improve the finances and accountability of City College. You obviously don't know anything about City College or you would already know this.
I know facts are a big nuisance. And whichever of the candidates noted above you're supporting, they don't have very good factual history to support their campaigns. Their campaigns are a tough sell with the well-informed voters of D5, but I hope you're being well-compensated for your heroic efforts.
I'd suggest that after next Tuesday, when you're done with your hyperbole and smear campaign against Rizzo, you might want to get involved with helping City College solve some of its problems and get your own hands dirty like John who is trying to actually bring fiscal accountability and long-term viability to the college. Although that would require real work beyond being a wrist jockey, and frankly you may not be up for that. And there's no pay and little reward other than trying to do the best thing for future generations of CCSF students.
Your comment wasn't addressing me because it addressed none of my points - instead focusing on conjecture and fantasy. Sorta like Rizzo's spin on not being responsible for anything going on a City College despite being in a leadership position at the school all these years.
Rizzo - The Power of Failing Upwards!
I still think that Thea is free of some of these accusations and stuff that takes time. She is able to do the job well. She has the heart of San Francisco.
Rizzo supported Prop J, Willie Brown's corrupt 1998 ballot argument that privatized Golden Gate Park and built a massive 800-car garage in the Music Concourse at public expense. Then Brown appointed Rizzo to the garage authority as a Commissioner, to reward him for his good and faithful work carrying water for the rich and powerful. But even then "It wasn't Rizzo's fault!!" It was the bad people who were responsible for building the garage and stealing millions of dollars from the Rec and Park Department. Rizzo was only the lone dissenting vote on the Commission -- but again, never disturbed enough by how corrupt things got to quit in disgust. That's because he saw the Brown appointment as his meal ticket to a life in politics, and in so many ways he was right. His campaign for D5 began the day Brown appointed him, & he has never stopped running since.In case you doubt me, go look for his name on the plaque inside the garage right next to Willie Brown & Warren Hellman's. Also, the text of his paid ballot argument in favor of the garage is here:
J Underground Parking for Golden Gate Park
Proposition J converts 250,000 square feet of surface parking into grass, trees, and open space where today there are cars and more parking will be removed later.
Proposition J jump-starts long-discussed public transportation projects including a free inter-park shuttle, supported by fees from the parking garage, as well as better public transportation to the Park. It preserves the Museum Concourse while removing cars from the surrounding area. Frop J also enables the Park to keep the Academy of Sciences, an institution that supports wildlife, plant, and habitat conservation through research and education.
None of this is a coincidence. Environmentalists worked hard on the design of Proposition J to ensure that it would improve and enhance Golden Gate Park for recreationists, museum-goers, and everyone else who enjoys the Park.
John Rizzo, Environmental Activist
John Rizzo is pretty darn solid, but I'll bet his detractors have not forgiven him for the role he played in the Proposition J in the late 1990s and the garage park-lovers love to hate that is now under the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park.
Still, I would vote for him first, not sure who second, maybe Thea Selby. Selby is politically ambitious but seems pretty decent. She has been active in her neighborhood, but I am concerned because the San Francisco Alliance for Jobs has thrown the same amount of money into an I.E. in support of her as it has for London Breed: http://www.sfethics.org/ethics/2012/07/campaign-finance-summary-of-third...
The San Francisco Alliance for Jobs gets a lot of its funding from the SF Association of Realtors and is part of the machine backing David Lee in District 1, pulling out all the stops to defeat Supervisor Eric Mar.
John would make an excellent D5 supervisor, as would Christina or Julian.
I don't think that IE was an attempt to do Thea any favors. More like put her in the same boat as London Breed--except with, you know, progressive credibility. Who knows what the intent was--that's a hall of mirrors--but I would bet it was meant to help London by making her seem more reasonable. And who cares if that's at Thea's expense. She's an attractive candidate and London is less so. The money is probably credited evenly because it was a single doorhanger. But if you've seen them on the street you'll notice they were all designed to hang with London's picture showing. Don't even get to Thea unless you actually read it.
Except now he's gone and given up. I want a fighter, not a quitter.

Stage IIC and stage III melanoma can often be removed with surgery. However, there is a 50 to 85 percent chance of the cancer returning. In this study, researchers want to see if giving these patients the drug vemurafenib can reduce their risk of recurrence after the tumor has been surgically removed. Vemurafenib is currently approved for use in patients with inoperable metastatic melanoma, but its use to prevent recurrence in those with operable disease is considered investigational.
Vemurafenib works by targeting a mutated form of a protein called BRAF, which is found in many melanomas. Therefore, patients in this study will need to have melanoma that contains mutated BRAF.
Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either vemurafenib or a placebo. They should be aware that this study requires participants to visit Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center many times. Vemurafenib is a tablet that is taken orally (by mouth).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Matrix Trilogy Blu-Ray

6 reviewsThree features. With THE MATRIX, the Wachowskis have established themselves as innovative filmmakers who push the boundaries of live-action films. Like the groundbreaking STAR WARS, THE MATRIX (also the first film of a trilogy) showcases a unique visual style, one the Wachowskis achieved through an array of techniques and digital effects, some never before seen in mainstream Hollywood films. Although computer morphing technology had been used before in films such as THE ABYSS and TERMINATOR 2, the Wachowskis were the first to use 'bullet time,' a time-bending digital effect that utilises both computer-generated imagery and still photography. The film itself is a complex story that aspires to mythology, focusing on a computer hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) who searches for the truth behind the mysterious force known as the Matrix. He finds his answer with a group of strangers led by the charismatic Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). What they encounter in confronting that truth makes for a lightning-paced, eye-popping thrill ride of a movie. Packed with stunning fight scenes (choreographed by accomplished Hong Kong director Yuen Wo-Ping), astonishing visual effects, quotable lines, and a terrific supporting cast (led by Carrie-Anne Moss, in her first major Hollywood film), THE MATRIX is a bold triumph that raises the bar for all science fiction films. Also includes THE MATRIX RELOADED and MATRIX REVOLUTIONS. Cert: 15.

Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) is the daughter of Algonquin chief Powhatan (Russell Means), who promises her in marriage to Kocoum, a brave whom she doesn't love. Pocahontas would rather wander in the forest, communing with nature and her animal pals, Meeko, a raccoon, and the hummingbird Flit. When European settlers arrive, she becomes enamored of handsome John Smith (Mel Gibson). Their attraction is encouraged by Grandmother Willow (Linda Hunt), a talking tree. The situation between their peoples is tense, however, as the settlers, led by Governor Ratcliffe (David Ogden Stiers) desperately want the gold that they're sure the natives are concealing. When a dutiful sentry, Thomas (Christian Bale) follows Smith into the woods on one of his secret meetings with Pocahontas, a tragic mistake leads both groups to the brink of war. Only the love of Pocahontas and Smith can prevent bloodshed. Pocahontas was awarded two Oscars, for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score and Best Original Song for "Colors of the Wind".

Right, first things first. The past few years has been good for horror movies. We had the likes of Insidious and Conjuring which really seemed to take the horror market by storm. Personally Im not a fan of either, well I tell a lie I liked the conjuring to a certain degree. Im not really into the paranormal horror at the moment though. Maybe its been over done for me to enjoy, but what ever it is I just can't be bothered with paranormal horror movies.
I recently read the review of Purge Anarchy which is meant to FUCKING AWESOME but turned our to FUCKING SHIT! (http://screenrant.com/purge-2-anarchy-trailer/).
Another movie which I think is due out this year some time is Insidious 3. Its meant to follow a different family this time around and seeing as I kinda liked the first 2 I will probably give this one a look when it hits netflix (http://www.trailer-geek.com/movie/insidious-3/)
One movie I have just found on that ^^^ Trailer Geek (http://www.trailer-geek.com) site was Stephen Kings IT is being remade?! I don't really remember the first one but I remember watching it decades ago not giving a crap… But, the book is pretty bad ass so a remake could be good (http://www.trailer-geek.com/movie/it-movie-stephen-king/).
Right horror lovers Im off to work! I will try and blog again in a few days

DALLAS – Dallas police investigators are asking for the public's help in finding a man they want to question regarding a murder at a Red Roof Inn north of U.S. 635 last weekend.
In a release, department spokesman Gerardo Monreal calls Juan Reynoso, 39, a 'person of interest.' He drives a black Nissan Xterra, but police aren't sure of its year.
If anyone contacts Reynoso, Monreal asks that you call the homicide unit at 214.671.3584.
On Sunday, Jeronimo Daza, 35, went to pick up his girlfriend with another witness at the Red Roof Inn at 13185 North Central Expressway. Police said the woman's ex-boyfriend was also there. He and Daza got into an argument. The ex-boyfriend pulled a gun and shot Daza and the witness.
Daza later died. The witness survived being shot in the chest.

While I've been more persistent in noting crowdsourced funding efforts for science-oriented projects like The Rap Guide to Evolution DVD or MATTER, there have been efforts in more science and/or technology-oriented projects. I noted a few of them back in 2010, but thanks to this Tweet…
Fund science & explore the world w/ renowned researchers. Be a part of science history! @silkyd67
The Exchange (@SciEntEx) July 12, 2012
I found out about Petridish. The project is in beta, and focused on funding researchers with an institutional affiliation, but aren't particular if applicants are students, post-doc or faculty. Funding amounts could run in excess of $50,000, but organizers are looking more at $5,000-$15,000. Unlike the other science and technology crowd funding efforts I have seen (see previous post), this one deals with rewards in a similar fashion to the broader crowdfunding sites like Crowdfunder and Kickstarter.
I would be interested in seeing (or if I had more spare time than what's needed to blog) some data on the outputs of these various science and technology oriented crowd funders. Who are they reaching? Do they fully fund the efforts? How effective is the scientific review? While the efforts of this kind of funding can be impressive, they aren't going to replace significant percentages of the traditional agency research and development budgets. It may seem small potatoes, but it would be nice to make sure even the small ones are properly prepared and tasty.

To carry out the purposes of the Order of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, passed on March 28, 1966, establishing the Client Protection Fund, the Trustees have adopted the following regulations pursuant to Md. Rule 16-811d.(iii). The Trustees will be guided, but not necessarily bound, by such regulations.
1. Attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.
No claim will be recognized by the Trustees unless an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship existed with a member of the Bar of the Court of Appeals of Maryland when the loss was incurred as a result of a defalcation by the said Maryland attorney. The Trustees consider that a "fiduciary relationship" means, for example, a lawyer acting in a fiduciary capacity traditional and customary in the practice of law in Maryland, such as a court-appointed lawyer, a personal representative of a probate estate, a trustee of an express trust, a guardian, a custodian acting per statute, or an attorney-in-fact by written appointment.
2. Businesses with ten or more employees.
Notwithstanding the existence of a fiduciary or client-attorney relationship with a Maryland attorney and the occurrence of defalcation(s) by said Maryland attorney, no claim by a corporation, limited liability company, proprietorship, partnership, business trust or similar entity will be recognized by the Trustees unless the claimant proves to the satisfaction of the Trustees that at the time of the loss and the filing of the claim it (i) had fewer than ten (10) employees, (ii) took reasonable steps to discover, limit and recover its loss, and (iii) had no source of recovery other than this Fund. The Trustees consider that entities having ten (10) or more employees generally have the ability and capacity to protect themselves, with insurance, fidelity bonds, etc. and do not need protection from this Fund.
3. Profit making businesses.
The Trustees further consider that the fundamental purposes of the Fund do not include the guaranty of profit-making business such as small loan companies, title insurance companies, banks and similar enterprises, and that the Fund is not, and will not act as, a collection agency for all claims against Maryland lawyers.
4. Persons in close relationship to the defaulting attorney.
The spouse, law partner of or conspirator with any defaulting attorney shall not have any right to file claims for reimbursement from the Fund.
5. Investment losses.
With regard to claims for investment losses or investment-type claims, the Trustees will consider for payment only those claims arising out of an attorney-client or attorney-fiduciary relationship. Investment advice given by the claimant's attorney is not, in and of itself, a ground for seeking reimbursement from the Fund, even though such advice may result in the loss of claimant's money. In considering such claims, the Trustees will consider, in addition to all other factors, (i) the circumstances under which the claim arose; and (ii) whether the attorney came into possession of the claimant's money by virtue of an attorney-client relationship with the claimant and thereafter retained the money for investment during the course of which he misappropriated claimant's money to his own use. Additionally, in evaluating losses resulting from loan and investment transactions with attorneys, the Trustees will consider any disparity in bargaining power between the attorney and the claimant; their respective educational backgrounds and business experiences; whether the attorney became privy to the client's financial affairs while representing the claimant; whether the attorney initiated the transaction; and whether the attorney provided the claimant with necessary financial disclosure and independent counsel. In no event will lost interest or other profit on investments be reimbursed. All payments on the investment, representing principal or interest received by the claimant, will be deducted from the claimant's initial investment in order to determine, for Fund purposes, the eligible amount of the loss.
1. Time.
Claims for losses must be presented to the Trustees within six (6) months after the discovery by the claimant of the defalcation, or at a later date in the discretion of the Trustees.
2. Form.
The Trustees shall require that claims be submitted in writing upon the official claim form of the Fund. Claim forms may be obtained from any one of the Trustees or from the office of the Fund.
3. With whom filed.
All claims shall be filed with the Administrator of the Fund whose name and address shall appear on the claim form.
c. Prerequisites to Consideration.
1. Attorney Grievance Commission.
Prior to consideration, the Trustees shall refer or require the claimant to refer the matter to the Attorney Grievance Commission of Maryland. As a condition precedent to the payment of any claim, it shall, wherever practicable, be required that final action be taken on the grievance by said Commission.
2. Civil remedies.
The Trustees have established, as a general policy, that no claim shall be recognized by the Trustees until the claimant has exhausted all other remedies reasonably available to the claimant for payment of part or all of his claim from sources other than the Client Protection Fund. Claimants are cautioned, however, that since settlements of claims against third parties usually foreclose the Fund's subrogation rights, the Fund will generally not pay any amounts over and above the amount for which the claimant has settled.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees reserve the right in their sole and absolute discretion to recognize exceptions to their usual requirement of exhaustion of other remedies in cases presenting unusual circumstances or extreme hardship. In exercising such discretion, the Trustees shall consider all relevant facts including the following: (i) the amount of the claim; (ii) the age, education and experience or sophistication of the claimant; (iii) the extent to which the claimant has or has not acted to help himself; (iv) the probable expense of self-help, relative to the amount claimed; (v) the likelihood of a monetary recovery from self-efforts; (vi) the possible application of limitations or laches; and (vii) the self-help experience of other claimants in like situations.
1. Procedure.
Upon receipt of a claim, the staff will give it a number and docket it. The staff will then advise the claimant of any additional documents or information required, and will mail, by regular mail, a copy of the claim to the alleged defalcating attorney (hereinafter in this regulation d, the "Attorney") at the Attorney's last known address as such address appears from the records of the Fund, along with a request for the Attorney's comments on the claim and a warning to the Attorney that any amount awarded to a claimant must be repaid to the Fund as a condition precedent to readmission to good standing with the Court of Appeals and a warning that a failure to respond to the claim constitutes a waiver of any further notice of any development in the matter. A Trustee will be assigned to review the claim with the assistance of the administrator and to investigate the statements in the claim and report on it to the Trustees. When review of the claim is complete, a report will be prepared, complete with all documentation available and forwarded to each Trustee.
2. Decision.
The Trustees will decide claims based on the evidence in the claim file, including the statements contained in the claim form, any other written statements by the claimant or other witness (including the Attorney), and any other information obtained. The Trustees may in their discretion request appearance by any person or the production of additional information. The Trustees shall promptly notify each claimant of the decision and of the right to request reconsideration if such claimant is dissatisfied with the decision. The decision and notice of right to reconsider must be mailed, by regular mail, to the claimant.
3. Reconsideration.
The decision of the Trustees on the claim becomes final unless the claimant files a request for reconsideration with the Trustees. The request for reconsideration must be in writing and postmarked within 30 days from the date of the decision. The request for reconsideration shall contain such additional information the claimant wants the Trustees to consider. A request for hearing may be included with the request for reconsideration.
Any evidence submitted in connection with the request for reconsideration, including any sworn statements made at a hearing, shall be considered in addition to evidence used to make the original decision.
A hearing on reconsideration will take place at a location that the Trustees, in their discretion, determine. Generally, the claimant may personally appear before the Trustees at such a hearing, but the Trustees, in their discretion, may determine otherwise if a claimant is unable to appear or chooses not to appear. By way of example, and not limitation, when a claimant cannot (or chooses not to) appear personally, the Trustees may, in their discretion defer such a hearing and disposition of the claim until the claimant is able to personally appear, or allow an agent, designated in writing, to appear for the claimant or resolve the issue in any other manner. In such a case, the notice of the hearing shall require the claimant to elect in writing, within 30 days of the notice of the hearing, the form of hearing from amongst the choices offered by the Trustees. If the claimant elects to defer the hearing until the claimant is able to personally appear, the claimant shall be advised to supply the Fund with any subsequent change of address and to advise the Fund of the approximate date when the claimant will be able to personally appear.
The hearing on reconsideration shall be recorded and the statements of the claimant (or anyone appearing on the claimant's behalf) and any witnesses, will be under oath or affirmation. Disposition of the request for reconsideration results in a final decision and must be in writing and contain findings of fact.
4. Judicial review.
The final decision must be mailed to the claimant. If the claim is denied, in whole or in part, a notice of right to judicial review of the final decision of the Trustees pursuant to Md.R. 16-811(I) and Md.R. 7-200 et seq. shall be mailed with the final decision.
(As Amended Pursuant To Resolution Dated September 16, 2006)
The Trustees hereby establish the following expedited procedures for preliminary decision of certain classes of claims, and direct the Chair and Secretary to implement such expedited procedures in the interval between meetings of the Trustees:
(1) The Chair and Secretary shall act hereunder only by their joint concurrence and agreement.
(2) The Chair and Secretary hereby are authorized to recommend preliminary approval of the following two classes of claims: (i) claims for refunds of collected but unearned retainers and (ii) claims for amounts less than Twenty-five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). Every such recommendation, together with a brief synopsis of the pertinent facts, shall be submitted by them to the other Trustees for their concurrence or ratification, either by mail between meetings or at the next regular Trustees' meeting. Upon concurrence or ratification by at least five (5) Trustees, including the Chair and Secretary, such claims may be paid.
(3) The Chair and Secretary hereby are authorized to recommend preliminary denial of those claims which are, in their joint opinion, either (i) clearly ineligible for payment from the Fund or (ii) fee disputes as opposed to defalcations. They shall in every such case promptly notify each claimant of such preliminary denial of his claim, and simultaneously shall notify such claimant that he has the right within thirty (30) days to submit such additional written documents or argument as the claimant desires to submit. Every such preliminary denial, together with a brief synopsis of the pertinent facts and copies or summaries of any timely additional information/argument submitted by the claimant, shall be submitted by them to all the Trustees for their concurrence and approval, either by mail between meetings or at the next regular Trustees' meeting. Upon concurrence and approval by at least five (5) Trustees, including the Chair and Secretary, the denial of such claims shall be final, subject however, to reconsideration pursuant to Regulation d.3.
The maximum cumulative amounts which shall be paid in respect to any one claim or multiple claims by a single claimant arising from the same attorney involved in either a client or fiduciary relationship shall not, at the time of payment, exceed 10% of the net fund balance, including sums in the Operating Expenses account, as of the close of the preceding fiscal year.
If at any time, in the opinion of the Trustees, there are not sufficient funds on hand to pay all claims in full, the Trustees may, in their discretion, pay the approved claims pro rata or defer payment until such times as adequate funds are on hand.
Where a claim is allowed by the Trustees, the Fund shall be subrogated in writing to the amount paid on such claim.
Where a claim is allowed by the Trustees, the staff of the Fund shall give notice, in writing, to the attorney. Such notice shall also advise such attorney that the Fund is now subrogated to the rights of the claimant against such attorney, shall direct such attorney not to make any further payments to such claimant, shall instruct such attorney to make payments to the Fund that would otherwise have been made to such claimant, and shall warn such attorney that if such attorney has been disbarred or suspended, payment of all money paid by the Fund to any claimant of such attorney is a precondition to readmission. If the attorney is associated with a law firm, the Fund shall send a copy of the notice to the law firm which shall also warn that the law firm may have derivative liability for the amount paid to the claimant.
(As Amended Pursuant To Resolution Dated September 16, 2006)
No attorney's fees shall be paid by a claimant in connection with any allowance made by the Trustees, and any attorney representing a claimant shall be required to give the Trustees a written statement that he will accept no fee from the claimant for services rendered in connection with any recovery from the Fund.
1. Subject to paragraphs (2) and (4) of this regulation, an individual shall pay the Fund assessment, as required in this regulation, if the individual;
(i) is admitted to practice before the Court of Appeals or is issued a certificate of special authorization under Rule 15 of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Maryland, or
(ii) holds himself or herself out as being admitted to practice in Maryland by any means, including:
A. being listed as authorized to practice law in Maryland in a directory such as the MSBA's Maryland Lawyer's Manual, Martindale-Hubbell, a telephone directory, or an internet listing;
B. being listed on the letterhead of a firm engaged in the practice of law in Maryland, whether as a "partner emeritus", "of counsel", or otherwise;
C. having a law practice that is located outside of Maryland but is based on admission to practice law in Maryland or uses a Maryland address; or
D. holding employment conditioned on being admitted to practice law in Maryland
2. An individual is exempt from the requirement to pay the Fund assessment if the individual:
(i) files with the Fund an affidavit that the individual:
A. practices law only in performing judicial or quasi-judicial functions, as a federal judge, magistrate, judge of a Maryland appellate, circuit, district, or orphan's court, court commissioner, master, judicial law clerk, clerk of court, administrative law judge or otherwise; or
B. is on family leave; and during the period covered by the affidavit, does not engage in the practice of law or hold himself or herself out as engaging in the practice of law.
3. Lawyers admitted before December 31 of any fiscal year shall be charged the full fiscal year assessments, but shall not be charged any late charges if payment is made by March 31; lawyers admitted after January 1 of any fiscal year shall not be charged any part of the assessments for such fiscal year, but shall be billed assessments for succeeding fiscal years.
4. The Fund shall maintain a category of "Retired/Inactive" lawyers, who shall not be charged assessments or late charges for any fiscal year after they are approved for such category; after transfer to such category, any such lawyer may be reinstated to active practice upon written notice to the Fund of his intent to resume active practice and upon payment to the Fund of all assessments due for the then current fiscal year.
5. A lawyer seeking to change from active practice to "Retired/Inactive" status with the Fund shall furnish to the Fund written evidence in form satisfactory to the Fund of his cessation of all active practice, directory listings, etc. Unless such written evidence is received by the Fund by August 31 of such fiscal year, such lawyer shall pay full assessments for the fiscal year in which such change occurs and shall pay in addition any and all sums due the Fund for prior assessments, late charges, etc.
6. Any claim for refund of any amount paid to the Fund will not be honored retroactively, and the honoring of prospective claims for refund shall be in the complete discretion of the Chair or Treasurer.
7. A lawyer who seeks reinstatement to good standing, after suspension, disbarment, or decertification shall pay to the Fund, as a precondition to reinstatement to good standing, all sums paid out by the Fund as a result of such lawyer's defalcation and all sums due the Fund for its current fiscal year and in addition such amount (not exceeding $50) as the Trustees by resolution fix from time to time as the estimated cost to the Fund of handling, processing and recording the requested reinstatement.
8. The Trustees may fix in their discretion, from time to time, subject to the approval of the Court of Appeals, reasonable charges for late payment of mandatory contributions to the Trust Fund; all disputes with contributors concerning such late charges or penalties shall be resolved by the Chair and Administrator in their discretion.
9. Payment must be received and collected in Fund's bank account on or before the due date (currently August 31 to avoid a late fee and December 31 to avoid an additional late fee). December admittees who are billed for the whole fiscal year are allowed a due date of March 31 of the following year to avoid a late fee.
10. Unemployment, financial hardship, other person's failure to forward bill, employer's failure to pay, looking for work, failure to receive bill, belief of being on retired/inactive list, postmark before due date, post office's neglect, secretary's fault, failure to receive bill, etc., are not acceptable excuses. In practice, only one excuse is regularly approved: verified medical hardship of lawyer.
11. The Trustees may fix in their discretion from time to time a reasonable penalty for any bad check tendered to the Fund for payment of any billing by the Fund, and such penalty shall be in addition to every other charge or penalty applicable on account of such bad check.
1. Fiscal year.
The Trustees will operate on a fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30.
2. Operating Expenses account.
Pursuant to Rule 16-811d. (vii) and 16-811 h.1-2, the treasurer shall establish and maintain a special bank account of the Fund designated "Operating Expenses" for the payment of routine and recurring operating expenses such as rent, utility bills, office supplies and printing, mailing and postage charges, as authorized from time to time by the Trustees, but such account shall not be used for claims payments, payroll costs, or capital expenditures. The said Operating Expenses account shall have such balance not exceeding $10,000 as the Trustees, by resolution, shall fix from time to time, shall be replenished to such authorized balance from time to time by the Trustees from the trust fund, and shall be subject to the order of the fund administrator or deputy administrator and one of the Trustees.
3. Records.
The Trustees shall keep accurate records of their actions, which records shall be open to inspection at any and all times by any trustee or by any member of the Court of Appeals of Maryland or by any person or persons designated in writing by the said Court to inspect such records. Nothing set forth in this Regulation shall preclude the inspection of such records by any person or persons designated as auditors of the Fund. No person other than those heretofore referred to shall have any right to inspect the records of the Trustees, but the Trustees in their discretion may disclose information from their records to any person employed by the Trustees for the purpose of seeking restitution of any claim paid by the Fund.
4. Disbursements.
No disbursements on account of a claim shall be made by the Trustees of the Fund unless the same is approved by at least five (5) Trustees.
5. Meetings.
Meetings of the Trustees shall be subject to the call of the Chair or the call of a majority of the Trustees. The Trustees shall meet at least annually for the consideration of claims.
6. Unavailability of Chair or Secretary.
In case either the Chair or Secretary shall be unavailable for a protracted period of time, a majority of the Trustees, by informal action and agreement, may designate another Trustee to act for the unavailable person during his or her absence.
Use of words such as "he", "his", "himself", "herself" and similar words in these Regulations is for brevity and clarity only and shall not disqualify any person; all persons whether male, female or entities (such as corporation or partnerships) shall be considered equally unless they are entities having ten (10) or more employees.
l. Fees for search, preparation, and copying of documents
A twenty-five cents per page charge shall be imposed for documents produced by the Fund pursuant to a subpoena or public information act request. A reasonable fee shall be charged for the search and preparation of such documents, such fee to be the cost to the Fund of the Administrator's time spent on such search and preparation as measured by the Administrator's annual salary and by the cost to the Fund of reasonable counsel fees incurred in relation to such search and preparation.
No search and preparation fee shall be charged for the first two hours of the Administrator's time nor for the first two hours of counsel's time. The Fund shall prepare an invoice for the search, preparation, and/or copying fees. The invoice must be paid in cash, money order, cashier's check or travelers check prior to release of the documents by the Administrator. If the applicant, in a public information act request, asks for a waiver of the fees described in this regulation, the Administrator may waive such fees after consideration of the ability of such applicant to pay such fees and any other relevant factors.
(As Amended Pursuant To Resolution Dated September 16, 2006)
The foregoing regulations may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Trustees.

This is such a silly debate, of course this type of material should not be viewed in libraries. Lets not forget libraries are a refuge for homeless people. I wonder what they are going to use public computers for?

I hope this issue is resolved soon. It is very silly in my opinion and shouldn't even be debated.
