David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are coming to the Paley Center to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the premiere of The X-Files, the iconic sci-fi series that largely defined the paranoid thriller for the nineties, and whose influence can still be felt in supernatural dramas airing today. Though running on Fox from 1993 to 2002, The X-Files was clearly rooted in the seventies.

text: STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC Promotion of the Large Hadron Collider project in the UK 1 Background When CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) begins to operate in 2007, it is likely to bring particle physicists the most exciting experimental results for a generation. It is crucial that people outside particle physics share this excitement. In order to ensure that STFC makes the most of this opportunity, we recommend a four-year programme of carefully targeted initiatives that will verifiably increase both public knowledge and support for this branch of physics. We shall also endeavour to inspire young people and thereby increase recruitment to undergraduate physics courses. This document outlines the proposed programme; details are given in the appendices. 2 Messages and target audiences This extraordinarily ambitious facility – one of the biggest in the history of science – seeks to shed light on some of the most fundamental questions in science 2 It is an exciting international venture that involves thousands of people from dozens of countries collaborating harmoniously; the UK has a leading role 3 There are valuable technological spin-offs from this type of work: a classic example is the invention of the World Wide Web at CERN 4 The scientists involved are keen that the public, whose funding has made this facility possible, share the excitement of this adventure 5 Young people, from every background and with many different talents, can be part of scientific activities like this if they study physics and closely related subjects 6 7 British industry benefits considerably from this project For a reasonable investment from the public purse, the project will tell us fundamental things about the way the universe works The principal messages that we wish to communicate about the project are: 1 STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC The three main target audiences for the programme are: public The best way of reaching them is via the media, especially television and high-profile newspaper articles. According to survey data, about twenty per cent of UK adults (about eight million people) are disposed to be interested in new scientific developments. policy makers and opinion formers It is crucial that Members of Parliament and the House of Lords, as well as government officials, are clear about the great value of this research, in intellectual and economic terms. It is crucial to win the support of opinion-formers in order to reach all other audiences, who all use the media. students aged 14-16 These are the students who are reflecting on the subjects they would like to study at university: it is vital that we persuade more of them to chose physics. Other important audiences, though ones with a slightly lower priority, are gifted 12-14 year-olds and students in the age range 16-18 who are already studying science at post-GCSE-level and whom we hope will continue to study physics, mathematics or engineering. In order to inspire these students, we must win the active support of their teachers We intend the strategy to make a national impact with these three groups. As a result, at the conclusion of the project, we intend the sustainable legacy of this strategy to be: greater awareness in the media of the excitement of particle physics a higher level of skill among particle physicists in dealing with the media increased awareness in UK industry of the commercial opportunities at CERN substantially increased political support for particle physics. 3 Proposed promotion programme We propose the following components to the promotion programme, which will reach the target audiences with the appropriate key messages. Costs are detailed STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC separately, and while the potential audience numbers are listed, clearly there are very different levels of engagement with them involved:- TV and radio coverage Cultivation of producers and programme makers, seeking to arrange the making of high-profile programmes on experiments carried out at the facility (aiming for two major features on terrestrial TV and three on non-terrestrial networks), as well as news and popular daytime programmes when results are announced. (Targets all audiences; potential audience ca 4 million) National Schools Programme To support science teachers in bringing the LHC programme into schools. The activities will include: briefing for teachers (CPD and talks for teachers); specially produced packs of information, web and multi-media materials for use by teachers; portable demonstrations and a lecture that will visit schools all over the country. Begins mid 2006. (Ultimately targets students; potential audience ca 0.25 million) National touring exhibition This would be on display in London for around 6 months in 2007 at a prestigious popular location and then travel to four venues across the UK in the following year (Targets mainly public and students; related Website and special events; audience ca 0.5 million) Public events across the UK From mid-2006 to late 2008, a programme of eight public gatherings involving scientists and the public to present LHC science and share the excitement of discovery (locations will usually be science centres and Cafés Scientifiques). Two of the events (London, Edinburgh) will have an especially high media profile as they will be co-organized with national newspapers and be covered by radio and TV. (Targets public; direct audience 1000 plus ca 0.1 million via media coverage) Receptions for VIPs and opinion formers Held in London, these will include one in 2007 to mark the 'switching on' of the machine (to alert attendees of what might be coming) and two during the first two years of the facility's operation, to highlight what is being achieved (Targets mainly policy makers; potential audience 400) Updating meetings for journalists Aim to engage reporters (not all of them science specialists) with the LHC project, seeking to keep them informed, enthused and up to STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC date. First meeting in 2007, when the machine is switched on, another in the next year, when the results are coming through (Ultimately targets public and opinion formers; public audience 2 million) Continually updated website A national website will be a hub for top-quality information (text, photographs, podcasts etc.) about the LHC programme. It is essential that this site is continually updated so that it is acknowledged as the best source of information about the UK contribution to the LHC (targets all audiences; potential audience 1 million) 4 Organization and preparation Preparations to deliver the programme have already begun. STFC will develop and deliver the programme as a partnership that will involve researchers, science communicators, evaluators and CERN officials. The key tasks to be achieved before spring 2006 are: 1 Co-ordination In order to be as effective as possible, this programme must be carefully coordinated. This will require the employment of an additional half-time person in the STFC office (Targets all audiences) 2 Evaluation In order to ensure that we communicate effectively with all our target audiences, we shall evaluate our programme with representative focus groups of the public and teachers and with lobbyists who are experienced in dealing with opinion formers and people in government. At the end of the project, it will be evaluated against its initial aims. (Targets all audiences) 3 Press support The STFC press office is arranging for journalists to be given guided tours of the LHC during its construction. Also, a library of television footage and high-quality still photographs is being prepared, to aid programme makers and journalists. (Ultimately targets public, opinion formers and teachers) 4 Media training for LHC physicists To ensure that the media are in contact with fluent and articulate particle physicists, of both sexes and from STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC a variety of cultural backgrounds (Ultimately targets public, opinion formers and teachers) The entire communications project will be a collaboration between STFC, the research community, industrial companies in the UK, and CERN, and will include coordination with other CERN member states. 5 Conclusion The total cost of the communications programme, which we envisage will run until early 2009, is under 0.2 per cent of the UK's total commitment to the LHC project and is therefore excellent value. The price of not properly promoting the project – of not sharing our excitement with the public and with the UK physicists of the future – would be incalculable. We therefore commend this programme as an inexpensive but crucial investment in the future of particle physics in the UK. 20 March 2006 STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC Appendix 1: Detailed messages and comments on how best to reach target audiences More detailed messages This extraordinarily ambitious facility – the biggest in the history of science – seeks to shed light on some of the most fundamental questions in science [the notes in square brackets refer to the topics in particle physics that underlie the message] The LHC is the biggest facility ever carried out in the entire history of science For the first time, it will enable people on Earth to create at will the same conditions as the universe when it was only a billionth of a second old, after the Big Bang It will shed light on how fundamental particles originally interacted to produce a universe apparently made of matter not anti-matter [asymmetry of matter and anti-matter] It will help us understand if there was a previously unidentified from of matter at the beginning of the universe [quark-gluon plasma] It will help us find out about the 96 per cent of the universe that is unaccounted for and the ultimate fate of the universe [dark matter] It will help us understand why the universe is built the way it is, and whether it could have been built any other way [standard model; supersymmetry] It will help us to see whether there is a deep symmetry at the heart of nature [supersymmetry] It should to help us understand why things have mass and are not as insubstantial as light [Higgs boson] It may shed light on the most familiar force of all, gravity [supersymmetry, a fundamental of string theory] It is an exciting international venture that involves thousands of people from dozens of countries collaborating harmoniously; the UK has a leading role STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC CERN is a hugely successful scientific research laboratory, mainly a European venture 85 countries participate, including the UK, which contributes hundreds of scientists and engineers, many of them PhD students It runs smoothly and with little friction – a genuinely successful collaboration Among the leading UK people involved in the story are Lynn Evans (project manager), Peter Higgs (theorist), etc. There are valuable technological spin-offs from this type of work: a classic example is the invention of the World Wide Web at CERN British scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web when he was working at CERN to facilitate the sharing of information among scientists who were collaborating but based in locations all over the world A computing Grid, a new resource that will enable huge quantities of information to be shared and processed on a global scale, is being developed specifically to make the LHC project possible The Grid may, in time, become as important as the Web Small scale particle accelerators are used in hospitals to produce beams for radiation therapy Accelerators are widely used industry, e.g. in the production of semiconductor chips and for investigating the structures of large molecules such as proteins. Historically, many practically useful ideas in science were first developed by scientists who were simply exercising their curiosity, for example, Faraday's electric motor and his means of generating electricity from moving magnets. The scientists involved are keen that the public, which has made possible this facility, share the excitement and value of this work Almost all of CERN's budget comes from European governments, i.e. from European tax payers STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC The public has ready access to information about LHC from high-quality web sites and from the many public events attended by scientists, who both talk and listen CERN is open to the public Young people, from every background and with many different talents, can be part of scientific activities like this if they study physics The branch of science addressed in LHC is particle physics, the study of the fundamental things that make up the universe and the laws that govern how they behave Anyone with sufficient ability and enthusiasm can contribute to this field: you don't have to be a genius Young people make many of the most powerful creative contributions to science– it is a myth that brilliant scientists are usually old white men. People with many different talents are needed to make the LHC a success: experimental and theoretical physicists, engineers, project managers, materials scientists, and so on Anyone can enjoy this science but to participate in it, you have to study physics and closely related subjects British industry benefits considerably from this project British companies have made several crucial contributions to the building of the LHC and its detectors, including precision high-tech engineering, electronic and magnetic components and state-of-the-art vacuum technology. At reasonable cost, the project will tell us fundamental things about the way the universe works The total cost to the UK taxpayer of the LHC is £344M, spread over about 10 years. That's an average of £34M per annum This is roughly the cost of a pint of beer or a modest glass of wine per person each year STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC CERN's annual budget is about the same as that of Geneva's main hospital, i.e. a major city hospital The entire LHC project will cost about the same as one week of the world's budget on advertising ('The Economist' estimates this budget to be $1bn per day). Regarding the final general point, we need at least three comparators that will stand scrutiny on the 'Today' programme. The examples should refer to, for example, government expenditure on health and well-being, other branches of research, and something relatively frivolous like spending on the Lottery or on liquor. We also need to have to hand the most powerful quotes. A classic is the remark made by Robert Wilson in 1969 when he was testifying before the Congressional Joint Committee on Atomic Energy and Senator John Pastore demanded to know how a multimillion-dollar particle accelerator improved the security of the country. Wilson said the accelerator had "nothing at all" to do with security, "it has only to do with the respect with which we regard one another, the dignity of men (sic), our love of culture. It has to do with: Are we good painters, good sculptors, great poets? I mean all the things we really venerate in our country and are patriotic about. It has nothing to do directly with defending our country except to make it worth defending." Another great quote is from Einstein in the closing weeks of his life: '"One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike-and yet it is the most precious thing we have." STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC Appendix 2: Audiences – how best to reach them Experience has given us many clues about how we can best reach our target audiences. The following comments summarize key points that we need to bear in mind if we are to engage our three primary audiences effectively. Public Before we decide precisely how to pitch our stories, it is important to try them out with representatives of the public in well-organized focus groups. This will be invaluable in helping us to ensure that we are 'pushing the right buttons' and not merely feeding them with what we physicists think they ought to hear. A special challenge is that most stories in particle physics usually have a much stronger appeal to men than to women. In addition, we shall need to Train ambassadors for the experiments, notably very senior spokespeople and exceptional communicators among the younger physicists. It is important that these people are identified before Easter 2006. Canvass those involved to find strong human stories that relate to the project. Identify examples of people who have contributed to the subject who are not in the usual white male category (e.g. Marie Curie, Abdus Salam). Students aged 14-16 It is crucial that we provide teachers with what is useful to them and not what we think they need. Their requirements are best obtained in a well-run focus group in which we ask them how we can most effectively reach our aim of 'turning on to physics' students in this age range. It is likely that we shall be encouraged to focus some of our resources on gifted children. The same is true of the audience of children in the age range 17-18. STFC Science and Society programme: UK Promotion of the LHC Policy makers and opinion formers We should consider employing a leading firm of PR consultants to work with our press office in reaching Members of Parliament and the House of Lords. This work will be done in partnership with STFC's Corporate Affairs Team.

There is, indeed. There was a name for it when the Republicans were using that kind of lousy rhetoric to good effect: it was called the Southern strategy, although it was hardly limited to the South. Now the Clintons, in their desperation to find some way — any way — back to the White House, have leapt aboard that sorry train.

Hillary supporters who have been waiting their entire lives for a hardcore pro-choice candidate will no doubt see an opportunity in McCain winning over Obama, because he will probably be too old to run for serious re-election. Then Hillary can win.I just don't understand this kind of paranoia. It's as if "She had the gall to oppose Obama, she must be insane and evil." Did I miss Obama being anti-abortion?

"Hillary Clinton on Wednesday reiterated her vow to stay in the Democratic presidential race, but she said it would be a 'terrible mistake' for her supporters to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama.She's paving the way for her exit!
Sen. Hillary Clinton vowed to stay in the race, saying she's 'not going anywhere.'
'Anybody who has ever voted for me or voted for Barack has much more in common in terms of what we want to see happen in our country and in the world with the other than they do with John McCain,' Clinton said on CNN's 'The Situation Room.'
'I'm going to work my heart out for whoever our nominee is. Obviously, I'm still hoping to be that nominee, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me ... understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama.'
Clinton was responding to a question from a CNN iReporter who asked why she thought so many of her supporters would choose McCain over Obama." Watch the question.
Four different scenarios of the total popular vote have been kicked around: (1) only counting primary contests without factoring in Florida and Michigan, whose contests were not sanctioned by the national party, (2) counting primary and caucus contests without Florida and Michigan, (3) counting primaries and contests and Florida but not Michigan, and (4) counting all primaries and caucuses including Florida and Michigan.posted by wemayfreeze at 4:22 PM on May 14, 2008
Clinton trails in all four counts, but by significantly different margins. In the first scenario she trails by by about 397,000, in the second she's behind 699,000, in the third she has a 405,000 vote deficit, and in the fourth scenario she trails by 77,000 votes.
The fourth scenario does not give Obama any votes out of Michigan, where he did not appear on the ballot.
The only scenario in which Clinton would appear to have the lead is a fifth scenario that only counts primary states – including both Florida and Michigan – and excludes any votes cast in the party's caucuses. In that count, Clinton currently holds a lead of about 225,000 votes.
"This is bullshit. This is malarkey. This is outrageous. Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, sit in the Knesset…and make this kind of ridiculous statement," Biden said angrily in a brief interview just off the Senate floor.posted by psmealey at 2:25 PM on May 15, 2008
"He's the guy who's weakened us. He's the guy that's increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has. His intelligence community pointed that out not me. The NIE has pointed that out and what are you talking about, is he going to fire Condi Rice? Condi Rice has talked about the need to sit down. So his first two appeasers are Rice and Gates. I hope he comes home and does something."
Howard Dean may hope that the "healing will begin today," but two blocks away from the northwest Washington Marriott where the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee is meeting right now to try to figure out Florida and Michigan, the Hillary protesters are occupying an utterly alternate (and healing-free) universe: a universe in which one of the big lawn rally's speakers yells that the Democratic Party no longer is in the business of "promoting equality and fairness for all"; in which a Hillary supporter with two poodles shouts, "Howard Dean is a leftist freak!"; in which a man exhibits a sign that reads "At least slaves were counted as 3/5ths a Citizen" and shows Dean whipping handcuffed people; and in which Larry Sinclair, the Minnesota man who took to YouTube to allege that Barack Obama had oral sex with him in the back of a limousine in 1999, is one of the belles of the ball.posted by aqhong at 2:07 PM on May 31, 2008

what procedure?
I would like to remove the title of a page specifies
(the title of my home, which is a static page)
The title would remain in the main menu, but not in the body of the page ...
what procedure?
not sure what theme you are using, but something like this may work in the css
.entry-title {
display: none;
Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin.
thanks esmi... BUT...
what is the best plugin for this kind of action?
what procedure after downloading the plugin? sorry, do not know much about css /
but I learn fast! :)
my theme is custom community
Then you will add the CSS to your custom CSS - actually I think that theme has a custom CSS section built-in. For CSS help, you need to post a link to your site.
And don't forget that there's a free forum for this theme at http://themekraft.com/forums/ A dedicated theme forum is always the best place to get fast, accurate, answers.
in your dashboard just go to APPEARANCE -> THEME SETTINGS -> CSS tab.
there you can add this css snippet:
body.home h2.pagetitle { display: none; }
that should help and fix this issue.
@esmi, we don't have a forum anymore, its replaced with our zendesk ticket system and knowledge base.. http://themekraft.com/support/
KonradS! thank you! worked, u`re the man!
but, now I would like to remove the title of every page
is it possible?
would also decrease the distance from the main menu and the top of the site, reducing the space of the header
how do?
my site> http://www.mirimbrasil.org.br/
Hi, my home page title is gone. please help, how can i fix this.
my site > http://webkeynote.ir
hi @milogus,
1. No Titles to ALL Pages - just add this CSS:
/** no titles to all pages **/
h2.pagetitle { display: none; }
2. Decreasing header space:
Checkout THEME SETTINGS -> HEADER -> HEADER HEIGHT and play with some numbers like "150" or "120" for a smaller header.
** just seen you've changed the theme anyway? **
Hope that helps, konrad
@mohammad ali, you're site is back isn't it?
thanks again
I did not changed the theme
its custom commmunity...
I managed to pull the titles with the wordpres`s mechanisms, without css
an option to be checked, under the page: show/hide title
hi milogus, so is it resolved?

The Mexico program is open to families pursuing a relative adoption.
Mexico Adoption
Program Coordinator: Angela Jackson
Mexico Adoption Parent Requirements: Parent requirements vary state by state throughout Mexico. Generally speaking, eligible parents are 25 to 60 years old and married. Some states do not accept adoption applications from single parents; others do.
Typical Mexico Adoption Timeline: Timelines and process vary from Mexican state to Mexican state, but parents can expect in most situations to commit to an in-country stay of 1 to 3 months.
More Details: Mexico Adoption with Carolina Adoption Services
State and Federal Considerations: How Mexico Oversees International Adoption
The central authority for Mexico adoptions under the Hague convention is comprised of two federal entities: the Secretary of Exterior Relations (SRE), which issues key Hague documents, and the National System for the Full Development of the Family (DIF), which implements national policy for intercountry adoptions.
Both of these entities are based in Mexico City. Adoptions also involve one of the 31 state DIF offices and a regional DIF office. These offices play an important role in intercountry adoptions and assignments of referrals to approved families. Each state office may have its own requirements regarding parental eligibility and length of in-country stay for adoptive parents to complete an adoption.
Mexico Adoption Process
Once an adoptive family's dossier has been sent to Mexico, it is received by the Secretary of Exterior Relations where it is registered and assigned a Hague number. The dossier is then sent to the national DIF office where it is examined to make sure it meets national standards for international adoption. Once approved by the national office, the state DIF office must evaluate and approve the dossier.

New Requirements for Waivers of Notice For Non Payment In Lease Agreements
The Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Act requires that in the event there is any material non-compliance (or breach) of any provision of the Lease by a residential tenant, the Landlord may terminate the lease and file an FED only after providing written notice to the tenant of the non-compliance and offering the tenant fourteen (14) days to resolve (or cure) the breach.
First Quarter Affordable Healthcare Act Update
Whether you love it or hate it, absent a significant political shift, the ACA is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA") was signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010, and the Supreme Court largely upheld its provisions on June 28, 2012. Whether you love it or hate it, absent a significant political shift, the ACA is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future.
2013 Changes to TN Residential Landlord Tenant Law
The 2013 session of the 108th Tennessee General Assembly, which recently adjourned on April 19, 2013, in Nashville, passed into law an important change to Tennessee law, which will benefit multi-family property owners and management companies. In addition, two proposed bills, which would have posed significant additional duties on managers, was defeated.

Apartment Pet Policies for Dogs
Tennessee law allows owners or managers to decide whether to allow tenants with pets to lease an apartment on property. For those communities which do allow pets, particularly those that allow dogs, a well thought out pet policy is very important to ensure the safety of tenants, visitors, staff, and the property itself.
Tenant Abandonment
A landlord may make the determination that a tenant has abandoned the apartment during the course of a lease term, and re-take possession without filing an FED and undertaking the standard court process, when certain threshold facts exist:
1. The tenant is unexplainably absent from the premises for more than thirty (30) days without payment of rent; or
2. The tenant has not paid rent for fifteen (15) days past the rental due date and the tenant has removed all of his/her personal property in the premises and the tenant has terminated the utilities to the premises.
Shelby County: E-Filing Available Beginning June 25
On June 25, 2012, the Circuit and Chancery Courts of Shelby County will begin accepting documents for electronic filing in cases currently pending in either court as well as all new case filings.
Tenant Security Deposits
Most residential leases and rental agreements in Tennessee require a security deposit prior to occupancy by the tenant. The security deposit is intended to cover damage to the premises beyond normal wear and tear and to cushion the financial blow for ownership in the event the tenant skips out early on the lease without paying.
Service Members Civil Relief Act
The Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA) a/k/a H.R. 100, signed into law on December 19, 2003, by then President George W. Bush, includes provisions which protect service members from evictions during the course of their active service.
If a service member is (1) leasing an apartment, (2) the apartment is in the name of the service member, and (3) the service member has put management on notice of their active status, SCRA protects the service member who's monthly rent is $2,400.00 or less, from being evicted for a period of time if/when the service member has been deployed for active duty.
SCRA does not absolutely prevent a landlord from serving a termination notice for th non-payment of rent; but if the landlord knows of the military status, the landlord when filing suit must tell the court that the tenant is an active service member and the judge will then decide whether the service member's status in the military materially affects his or her ability to pay the rent.
If the judge determines that status in the military materially affects the service member's ability to pay the rent, the judge may stay the eviction for up to three months. If the judge decides otherwise, the lawsuit will continue and may result in an eviction.
In order for a service member to exercise his/her protection under the SCRA, the service member must demonstrate the following:
1. The lease was entered into prior to the commencement of active duty service.
2. The service member put management on notice of the military status at the time the lease was signed.
3. The lease was signed by or on behalf of the service member.
4. The apartment is occupied by either the active duty service member or the service member's dependents.
5. Military service materially affects his or her ability to pay rent.
6. The service member is currently in military service or was called to active-duty for a period of 180 days or more.
The service member must promptly deliver written notice to the landlord any time he/she is called to active duty or receives orders for active duty and must provide a copy of the reassignment or deployment order to management in order to implicate the protection. Oral notice is not sufficient.
Should you have any questions regarding the Service Members Civil Relief Act or how it might impact a tenant on your property, please do not hesitate to contact me at (901) 576-1701.
Shelby County District Attorney's Drug Dealer Eviction and Anti-Trespass Initiatives
Administered by the West Tennessee Violent Crime and Drug Task Force, the Drug Dealer Eviction Program seeks to assist property management prosecute the claims necessary to remove drug dealers from neighborhoods and multi-family residential apartment complexes.
If a drug offense occurs in a rental property and involves drug possession with intent to sell, the violator is now subject not only to criminal prosecution but immediate eviction as well. If management has not already begun the eviction process, the District Attorney's Office will send a "Notice of Illegal or Drug Related Activity" to the landlord or management company. Upon receipt, management must proceed with filing and prosecuting an eviction, or else, the law allows the District Attorney's Office to proceed with the eviction on management's behalf.
The District Attorney's Office has door-hangers, brochures and signs that can be used by management to encourage citizens to call in tips to Crime Stoppers about drug dealing at multi-family complexes.
For more information, the District Attorney's Drug Dealer Evictions Task Force can be reached at 901-545-3433.
The recently announced Anti-Trespass Initiative is a program sponsored by the District Attorney's Office and executed by the Memphis Police Department and Shelby County Sheriff's Department. The Initiative aims at assisting multi-family owners and management companies in keeping people out of apartment communities unless they are tenants or invited guests.
Under this program, participating properties allow the Memphis Police Department and the Sheriff's Department free access to the property, with the ability to arrest for criminal trespass anyone who is not a tenant, a family member of a tenant, or an invited guest.
In order to enroll in the Anti-Trespass Initiative, property management must contact Jackie Condrey, Investigator for the Shelby County District Attorney's Office, at (901) 222-1397. Properties will be asked to sign a participant affidavit, place "No Trespass" signs on property, and notify tenants, in writing, of the property's participation in the anti-trespass initiative.
Once these steps are accomplished, the property will be considered an active participant in the program and the District Attorney's Office will notify the local police precinct to start inspections for anyone that is not authorized to be on the property.
Both the Drug Dealer Eviction and Anti-Trespass Initiatives are valuable tools that management can, and should, utilize to help maintain a safe and productive environment on property.
Should you have any questions regarding either of these initiatives, please do not hesitate to contact me at (901) 576-1701.
Service & Comfort Animals- Must Landlords Make Accommodations?
Owners and management companies may, at their discretion, decide whether or not to implement no-pet policies at a particular apartment community. A no pet policy prohibits tenants from keeping pets of any kind in their apartments; however, owners and management companies have certain legal obligations to make accommodations to allow certain specific types of animals to reside with a tenant in an apartment even when those apartments are in communities with clear no pet policies.
The law views service and comfort animals, not as pets, but as day-to-day needs of individuals suffering from physical and/or mental disabilities. Because of this, management is required to make reasonable accommodations to allow the presence of the animals in the homes of those who can show the requisite need.
Service Animals
A service animal is one which is individually trained to the requirements of an individual with a disability, such as protection, rescue, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items. Guide animals for the blind or visually impaired, signal animals for the deaf or hearing impaired, and service animals for other disabled people are all service animals and not considered pets under the law. The law (both at the federal and state level) specifically prohibits management from refusing to rent to a disabled person who needs a service animal. Instead, the law requires that management make reasonable accommodations to allow the disabled individual the use and assistance of the dedicated service animal.
Comfort Animals
Unlike service animals, there is no law or regulation which specifies that management must allow a disabled person to have a comfort animal. While a service animal is trained to perform physical acts to aid a disabled person, a comfort animal provides love, reassurance, social interaction and other emotional benefits. Advocates of comfort animals say that they provide substantial health benefits, particularly to emotionally disabled persons.
While comfort animals are not within the specific protections afforded service animals under federal and state disability and housing laws, disabled tenants are provided rights to keep comfort animals in apartment communities with no pet policies if they can provide documentation which shows that a medical professional believes that the animal is necessary for the individual's health, use, and enjoyment of the apartment.
What Management Should Do
Prior to accepting a service or comfort pet in an apartment community with a no pet policy, the tenant should be asked to provide proof of the disability and of the need for the animal. The tenant is not required to provide any particular kind of proof, but must present some evidence that an accommodation by management is necessary. If the animal has an official tag or license showing that it is a service animal, management can probably rely on that as evidence. However, since comfort animals are not eligible for such tags or licenses, tenants who need a comfort animal must show it is necessary by order of a physician or mental health professional.
Interestingly and importantly, in communities where pets are allowed with a pet deposit, pet deposits should not be charged for tenants with service or comfort animals as they are not considered pets.
A landlord who receives a request to allow a service or comfort animal is best served seeking legal counsel. Each situation is unique and the ever changing law and particular tenant's circumstance may alter management's ultimate decision.
Should you have any questions regarding service or comfort pets or the applicable law, please do not hesitate to contact me at (901) 576-1701.
Tenant Bankruptcy Filings: What They Mean & What You Should Do
A tenant bankruptcy filing will impede a landlord's ability to proceed with filing an eviction proceeding or carrying out the court-ordered eviction process. A tenant can stop an eviction by filing for a Chapter 7 (Liquidation) or Chapter 13 (Wage Earner) bankruptcy. Once the tenant files for bankruptcy, federal law, under 11 U.S.C. §362(a)-(b), imposes an "automatic stay" which prevents all creditors, including landlords, from pursuing repayment of debt and/or eviction.
Why Purchase Owner's Title Insurance?
A question that real estate attorneys often receive is, "why purchase owner's title insurance?" I, myself, would not purchase a house or any parcel of real estate without an owner's policy of title insurance. It is a one-time only premium that is paid when you purchase the property and protects your interest in the property against loss due to title defects, liens or other encumbrances against title for as long as you own the property and, in certain instances, even after you sell the property. In the event of a lawsuit attacking title (i.e., someone else claiming an interest in the property, a lender or other creditor claiming that a prior loan or judgment has not been paid off, a defect in title due to a document not being properly signed, a forgery, or other event of fraud or duress, etc.), your title insurance company will defend you and pay your legal fees (which could be very costly) or reimburse you for the actual monetary loss incurred up to the dollar amount of the insurance provided by the policy (generally what you paid for the property; and, under some policies, the coverage afforded actually increases a certain percentage each year that you own the property).
Basically, title insurance is an insurance policy which insures that, upon recording of the closing documents, title to the property will be vested in your name. The policy insures that the property, at the time of recording, will be free from all defects, liens and encumbrances except those which are listed as exceptions in your policy or are excluded from the scope of the policy's coverage under the standard exceptions, conditions and exclusions from coverage found in the pre-printed portion of the form policy. This is pretty substantial coverage for the one-time premium that you pay in exchange for the policy.
Another reason title insurance is beneficial is because, when examining title, we, as examining attorneys, only review the records for the property and the current owners which are produced by the title company as part of its title search. This actually minimizes the cost to you because if we did not have the title company's search to rely upon, we would have to conduct our own search of register's office and local courts in order to give you a proper legal opinion on title, which would be much more expensive than paying for an owner's policy of title insurance due to the additional time that would be required in order to conduct an adequate title examination. Since our examination of your title is limited to our review of the documents submitted to us by the title company, if you choose not to purchase an owner's policy of title insurance and a problem appears in the future that the title company's search may have missed (which happens more often than you might believe), you would be out of luck and could end up facing serious legal fees in sorting out the mess. In other words, as cheap as title insurance is, it is not worth the risk of not having it.
Finally, keep in mind that all institutional lenders are going to require that you pay for lender's coverage which insures that the lender has a first lien deed of trust against your property to protect them in the event you default. For purposes of illustration only, let's assume you are purchasing a house for $250,000 and obtaining a loan in the amount of $200,000 to finance the acquisition of the property. In Shelby County, Tennessee, the lender's base coverage alone, if you did not purchase an owner's policy, would be approximately $801.25. Since you can get an owner's and lender's policies for a simultaneous issue rate of $1,060.12, the owner's policy, in this case, would really only be costing you about $258.87. That is cheap for $250,000 in coverage (and possibly more depending on the policy) for as long as you own the property.
I hope this helps in explaining the point of title insurance. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at (901) 576-1743.
Satellite Dishes: Landlords' Rights to Protect vs. Tenants' Rights to Enjoy
Increasingly, multi-family owners and management companies are facing issues relating to tenants who hire independent third parties to install satellite dishes on the exterior of their apartments. These dishes provide television, phone, and internet services to the tenant. The law seeks to balance the rights of multi-family owners and management companies to protect their properties with the tenants' lease based contractual right to enjoy their apartments.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), an independent agency of the United States government which regulates all aspects of broadband media, allows multi-family owners and management companies to prohibit placement of satellite dishes in places which might potentially damage or compromise the exterior of the complex's building, while at the same time prohibiting owners and management companies from "unreasonably" objecting to installation of "pizza-style" satellite dishes, not larger than one meter in diameter, when installed in safe and non-damaging locations.
Specifically, multi-family owners and management companies may prohibit placement of satellite dishes on the following areas:
- Rooftops
- Window Sills
- Common Use Balconies
- Breeze-Ways
- Stairwells
- Exterior Walls
However, multi-family owners and management companies, may not "unreasonably" prevent tenants from installing satellite dishes on private balconies, private patios, and private gardens, so long as, no holes are drilled in outsides walls, the roof, windows, or balcony railings.
Should you have any questions regarding the FCC regulations in specific, or satellite dishes in general, please do not hesitate to contact Josh Kahane at (901) 576-1701.
When VIOLENCE strikes YOUR property...
Owners and managers owe a legal duty to their tenants to provide, as much as possible, a safe place to live. But even the most effective managers and on-site security staff, face incidences of violence involving a tenant or the invited guest of a tenant and, even more often, on-site staff in the leasing office can be subjected to threats of violence against them or the property by disgruntled tenants. In these circumstances, it is most important to quickly apply the protection offered under the Landlord Tenant Act to remove the tenant from the property and ensure the safety and well-being of all other people on site.
NLRB Acting General Counsel Identifies Social Media Cases as Major New Area of Litigation
Social media activities are exploding, as is litigation involving employee conduct on these social media sites.
The National Labor Relations Board's ("NLRB") Acting General Counsel, Lafe Solomon, announced on October 20, 2011 that a major new area of litigation at the Board involves cases where employees contend they were unlawfully treated by their employer for their activity on social networks.
OMG Court!! Founder of @OMGFacts in Legal Dispute with Business Partner.
Less than two years ago, teenager Adorian Deck started a Twitter account called @OMGFacts. Deck quickly and quite unintentionally became famous by tweeting "facts" about celebrities and current events. Deck's online following grew through Twitter almost overnight and by early 2010 had approximately 300,000 followers.
Enforcement of Contractual Arbitration Provisions in Tennessee
In today's commercial world, it is common for business agreements and contracts to contain an arbitration provision. These provisions generally require the parties to the agreement to use a neutral arbitrator to decide their disputes and waive each party's right to file a lawsuit in a civil court. Not surprisingly, the scope and applicability of contractual arbitration provisions have been subject of much discussion in both the state and federal court systems. In Healthmart USA, LLC vs. Directory Assistants, Inc., Case No. M2010-00880-COA-R3-CV, the Tennessee Court of Appeals recently added heft to the viability of contractual arbitration provisions, even when poorly written.
Consequences for Slamming Your Boss on Facebook?
Is Facebook the new after work watering hole where fellow employees gather to share their work experiences and air grievances? Maybe, but with one big difference – there's a public record of what is discussed and a strong likelihood that what was posted will be disseminated and eventually read by a manager.
In October 2010, the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") brought a first of its kind complaint against American Medical Response, a Connecticut ambulance service, claiming that the company violated federal labor law by firing an employee for making negative comments about her supervisor on Facebook.
Use of Company Email = Loud Office Chat?
Now might be a good time to review your company employee handbook to see what it says about employee use of email. While most people consider communications with their lawyer to be privileged and confidential, that may not always be the case -- especially if it's an employee using her work email to communicate with her personal lawyer about suing her boss.
In a recent case from California, an employee had filed a discrimination lawsuit against her employer. While still employed, she used her work email account and work computer to discuss her case with her attorney. Her employer later used those emails against her at trial and successfully defended the case. The employee appealed the judgment arguing in part that it was wrong for the judge to let the jury read those emails because they were between the employee and her lawyer.
The Impact of the Great Recession Continues - FINRA Arbitration Reform and Customer Choice
Effective January 31, 2011, customers in FINRA arbitrations have a new choice when it comes to trying to resolve disputes with their securities broker. FINRA operates the largest dispute resolution forum in the securities industry to assist in the resolution of disputes between and among investors, securities firms and individual registered representatives. As long as the customer's claim qualifies for a three arbitrator panel, the customer will decide whether a securities industry professional will be a member of the arbitration panel.
Did the Mississippi Legislature Violate the Constitution When it Capped Non-Economic Damages?
After years of contentious debate and strong opposition from trial lawyers, the Mississippi Legislature capped non-economic damages that a jury could award a plaintiff for pain and suffering. Now, the Mississippi Supreme Court could rule on the constitutionality of the current law. This is a decision that plaintiff's lawyers throughout Mississippi and elsewhere are following intensely.

Kevin Martin's Other Excuse

Signs Your Relationship Is Solid
Sports Fan Insider
HOUSTON (CBS Houston) – Kevin Martin has been baffling fans and analysts alike all season long. He clearly still has ability to score, since he has dropped at least 30 points in one game in each month this year, but he has also disappeared like Bigfoot throughout the course of the season.
At a SportsRadio 610 event on Monday, Calvin Murphy said that Martin was a "true shooter," which is a rare commodity in the NBA. However, the flashes of brilliance that Martin has shown make the low moments all the more frustrating. It is difficult to watch someone with rare talent shoot the ball three times and miss all of them throughout the course of the game.
Martin has forced coach Kevin McHale to sit him because he is refusing to shoot the ball. Martin is simply not playing as part of the team on offense, and his defense has always been well below par. He is neither an above average passer nor rebounder. If he doesn't shoot, he is a liability to the team. He isn't shooting.
Everyone has a bad day, week or even month. Every shooter hits a cold streak. The difference is that they keep pushing. When Ray Allen struggles with his shot, he doesn't completely fold up and stop trying. He shoots his way out of it, even if that means that his shots don't fall for several games.
Martin's lack of effort is earning him a rare share of the fans' ire. It is one thing to be bad; it is far worse to be good and not try hard enough. While there may be plenty of people that have an issue with Hasheem Thabeet making $5 million while sitting on the bench, there are far more people that have an issue with Martin grabbing a seat next to him with about 20 minutes remaining in the game and keeping him company for the rest of the game.
There are only two things that could be affecting Martin. The first has been the much discussed trade that was then vetoed by commissioner David Stern. The thought is that Martin's psyche was damaged by the thought that he might not be able to stay here in Houston. While this concept is often tossed out after a trade is made public and then does not go through, it seems less plausible here because Martin had already been traded. He was traded to Houston a few years ago in the Tracy McGrady deal, so he should be well aware of the possibility.
What seems more likely is that he is having trouble adjusting to the rules that don't allow him to walk to the free throw line almost at will. He is currently attempting about half as many free throws as he did last year. What is even more surprising is that even though it feels like Martin is never on the floor, he is averaging just one minute less per game over the course of the season.
This means that there is a drastic change in the way that Martin is scoring. Many times, when a player is in a shooting slump they will attack the basket to get to the free throw line so that they can see the ball go through the basket. Martin rarely attacks the basket, but would frequently kick his legs out while taking a jump-shot in order to draw a cheap foul. However, with officials less willing to give him that, or similar calls, he seems unable to get himself on track for any extended period of time.
Every time there is a change in the rules, there will be a negative impact on some players and a positive impact on others. If this is what is bothering Martin, then there are few examples of a player being more affected by a single rule change in recent memory.

Mark Essig: Searching for More Humane Ways to Execute People
For the past century and a half, America's capital punishment debate has resembled a strange game of leapfrog: opponents of the death penalty claim that the current method, whatever it may be, is barbaric, which prompts capital-punishment supporters to refine that method or develop a new one.
Although 19th-century Americans tended to believe that justice and order demanded the ultimate sanction, they were often shaken by graphic accounts of the pain suffered by hanged men. In 1876, after an especially gruesome hanging, Maine abolished capital punishment. Inspired by this victory, opponents of the death penalty began to emphasize the cruelty of the gallows. But their effort was self-defeating: by claiming that the problem with hanging was the suffering of the condemned, they simply challenged death penalty advocates to find a better way to kill.
First came adjustments to the gallows. Hangmen created a formula in which rope length was a function of the prisoner's weight the heavier the victim, the shorter the drop. But such delicate calculations of anatomy and gravity often failed to add up, and many prisoners slowly strangled to death. To dull the pain, Brooklyn officials in 1847 knocked a murderer cold with ether before hanging him, but this simply highlighted the deficiencies of the gallows.
Then, in 1889, New York State built the first electric chair, a device championed by Thomas Edison. Edison's advocacy was inspired in part by a wicked plan to hurt his business rival, George Westinghouse the chair was powered by Westinghouse's alternating current, and Edison hoped consumers would begin to associate AC with danger and death. But Edison had less cynical reasons as well: he was an opponent of the death penalty "an act of foolish barbarity," he called it and he believed that electrocution would be less barbaric than the noose. Many others agreed, and eventually 25 states and the District of Columbia installed electric chairs.
Electrocution remained the state of the art for three decades, until the public grew dismayed by bungled executions that required several shocks or set the prisoner on fire. Before long there was another scientific option: an airtight chamber filled with poison gas, adopted by Nevada in 1924 and then by 10 more states in the coming decades. Like all complex machines, however, these execution devices were prone to malfunction, and prisoners suffered the consequences.
So in 1977 Oklahoma began to poison condemned prisoners with a three-drug cocktail: sodium thiopental (to produce unconsciousness), pancuronium bromide (to paralyze the muscles) and potassium chloride (to stop the heart). Promising a clean, painless death, this protocol quickly gained widespread acceptance.
Until now, that is. The next step seems obvious: states will adopt a different drug regimen, which, no doubt, will soon gain critics of its own.

Does this "milking time" mean "squeezing cows breasts to gain their milk" or "milk drinking time"? I think the former.

I concur.
Cows have udders (and teats), not breasts (and nipples).
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
...and milk is obtained by squeezing the cow's teats.

The Orlando Magic lost in a triple overtime game last night against the Chicago Bulls that is being hailed as an "instant classic," well that classic wouldn't have been possible had Jameer Nelson not hit a game tying three to send the game into the first overtime. Well I'm sure Nelson wasn't expecting that game tying three to cost him $15,000 but it did.
Jameer Nelson's game tying three:
The gesture according to Magic Basketball Online, is the "big balls dance," and it comes from the movie Major League. Although the last year of Nelson's contract is only partially guaranteed, he surely made enough over his time in the league to handle that $15,000.
