Timbers' Wallace called up by Costa Rica National Team
PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland Timbers defender/midfielder Rodney Wallace has been called-up by the Costa Rica National Team to participate in the 2013 Copa Centroamericana and an upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Feb. 6.
Wallace, 24, will miss the start of Timbers preseason training while on national team duty and is scheduled to rejoin the club on Thursday, Feb. 7, during Portland's preseason camp in Tucson, Ariz.
Born in San José, Costa Rica, Wallace joined the Costa Rica National Team on Jan. 7 in preparation for the 2013 Copa Centroamericana. He came off the bench in the 65th minute to help preserve a 1-0 win against Belize in Costa Rica's opening group match of the tournament on Jan. 18. On Sunday, he started and played 57 minutes in a 2-0 win against Nicaragua, securing Costa Rica's place in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Ticos face Guatemala on Tuesday in their final match of group play.
The 2013 Copa Centroamericana, held in Costa Rica, is a championship tournament for countries affiliated with the Central American Football Union (UNCAF). The top five teams from the tournament qualify for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Costa Rica begins CONCACAF's final qualification stage for the 2014 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, Feb. 6, against Panama at Estadio Rommel Fernández in Panama City at 6 p.m. (Pacific). Costa Rica is one of six teams vying to represent CONCACAF in the 2014 World Cup.
Wallace has 11 caps and scored two goals for Costa Rica since making his international debut Sept. 2, 2011. He tallied the game-winner in his debut, contributing to a 1-0 victory over the United States. Wallace has appeared in three of Costa Rica's last four 2014 World Cup qualifiers, playing in a pair of losses to Mexico and a win against El Salvador. He enters his third season with the Timbers in 2013.

Pro Bono Lawyers
Local Bankruptcy Attorneys in your area
Pro bono lawyers are lawyers who take cases for free. They can practice any type of law from administrative and civil law to criminal. Some state bar associations require that attorneys complete a certain number of pro bono hours per year.
Some attorneys go over and above the required hours and some even volunteer their time to cases for the disabled or the financially disabled. Not many attorneys advertise their pro bono services, so it can be a chore to find pro bono lawyers. You can call local general practice attorneys in your county to ask if they're taking pro bono cases. If these attorneys have not used up their pro bono hours, they may be willing to take your case. There are also many websites dedicated to pro bono lawyers who will freely volunteer their time.
Some law firms have a pro bono coordinator. When contacting a law firm, ask to speak to a pro bono coordinator, or if they have an attorney who is willing to do some pro bono work, if there is no coordinator. Another way to find pro bono lawyers is to contact your state's bar association.
Pro bono lawyers take cases for clients who genuinely cannot afford to hire one. This often includes people on disability and people who have been laid off and cannot afford to pay customary legal fees.
When a pro bono lawyer takes a case, it is a win-win situation for the client and the attorney. An attorney may have a lot of experience in a certain area of law, but he may want to add another area to his expertise. For example, a family law attorney may want to add criminal law experience to his portfolio. One of the best ways to do this is to do some criminal pro bono work.
As with any other type of attorney, you should consult with several pro bono lawyers before selecting one. You should feel comfortable with the attorney, as you will be sharing a lot of private information with him depending on the type of case it is.

Update Friday 8:17 a.m. - When Stony Brook Southampton campus police officers tried to pull over a vehicle Thursday night that had been reported stolen a half hour earlier, the driver led them on a brief chase then jumped from the sedan while it was still in motion, according to police.
Southampton Town police said the chase started on Montauk Highway in Shinnecock Hills, and when the driver abandoned the car near the Middle Pond Road and Dellaria Avenue intersection, it kept going, crashing through a split rail fence then into a mooring in a creek that connects with Middle Pond.
Town police called in a Suffolk police helicopter, Suffolk sheriff's K-9 Unit and Southampton Village police to assist in setting up a perimeter and searching for the suspect, who was described as a man in his late teens or early 20s, with a light complexion.
Sgt. Michael Joyce said the car was a Mazda Familia, which the keys has been left in when it was taken. It was reported stolen at 8:22 p.m. from Union Street in Hampton Bays, police said.
Stony Brook Southampton campus police saw it drive by at 8:50 p.m., Joyce said. The search was called off at 10 p.m.
Anyone with information on criminal activity is asked to call the Southampton Town Police Department Detective Division at 631-702-2230 or the Crime Tips Hotline at 631-728-3454, or email email@example.com.
Update Thursday, 10:50 p.m. - A search with a helicopter and police dogs began in Shinnecock Hills Thursday night when a Stony Brook Southampton campus police officer tried to pull over a stolen vehicle, and the driver ran, according to Southampton Town police.
Sgt. Michael Joyce said the vehicle was reported stolen from a residence in Hampton Bays at 8:22 p.m. The keys had been left in the Mazda Familia, he said.
At 8:50 p.m., the campus police officer spotted the vehicle being driven on
Dellaria Drive in Shinnecock Hills, Joyce said. That's when the suspect fled on foot. A Suffolk sheriff's K-9 unit and a Suffolk police helicopter were called in to aid in the search, as were New York State troopers and Southampton Village police, he said.
Multiple police agencies set up a perimeter in the area of Dellaria Drive, Little Neck Lane and surrounding roads.
Police called off the search at 10 p.m.
"We searched the area and couldn't locate him," Joyce said. He could not offer a description of the suspect.
"The investigation is continuing," he added.
A swarm of police officers are searching around Shinnecock Hills, near Stony Brook Southampton's marine science center on Little Neck Road, but police are not saying at this time who or what they are looking for.
The police activity started prior to 9:34 p.m. A Suffolk police helicopter is aiding in the search.
A Southampton Town police dispatcher said no one is available at this time for comment.
In addition to Southampton Town police and Suffolk police helicopter, New York State troopers and SUNY police are also on scene.
This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

How can you open an Australian bank account from outside Australia?' is one of the more common questions asked on our forums
It makes sense that you have some Australian cash waiting for you once you arrive down under but how exactly do you go about opening an Australian Bank account when you're not physically there.
Within this article we'll try and provide you with some helpful hints, tips and links to enable you to do just this :)
As well as opening an Australian Bank account from the UK, a large portion of this article should also prove useful for those of you looking to move to Australia from other countries.
If you have first hand experience of opening an Australian Bank account from outside of Australia, please help us build on the usefulness of this article by posting a comment at the end of the article, detailing your own experiences.
From our own research, it appears that the folks over at Westpac appear to do a half decent job when it comes to providing easy banking facilities for new or wannabe migrants.
With this in mind we'll base a large part of this article around opening a migrant account with Westpac.
Please keep in mind that this should not be seen as an endorsement of Westpacks services (we personally opened an account with Bankwest when we arrived in Perth and have been happy with Bankwest so far).
However as a starter for ten the Westpac account seems to tick quite a few boxes and you can always change to a different bank once you arrive down under.
How long before you get to Australia should you open a bank account?
I guess the answer to this question is really open to personal preferences. When we moved to Australia we didn't have an Australian Bank account until we got here. We did however have UK bank cards linked to Visa which enabled us to basically utilise any ATM (displaying a Visa logo) for a nominal fee of £1.50 per transaction.
Obviously each time we used our cards we withdrew the largest amount we could to minimise the impact of this fee, and after we'd been in Australia for a couple of weeks we opened bank accounts of our own.
If you're looking to open a bank account before moving to Australia, I'd suggest that you allow at least 4 weeks for everything to be processed for you. Although most of the process associated with opening a new account can be done over the telephone. There will still be forms which need to be signed and/or authenticated which might take a little time when being sent to you from Australia.
Do you need permanent residency to open an Australian Bank Account?
The answer to this question is no, however in reality, opening an Australian Bank account from outside of Australia can be pretty difficult. Don't despair however, the information further down in this article will help. :D
If you get an opportunity to visit Australia before you get your visa's then this could be a prime time to open a new bank account.
The news on the grapevine is that both ANZ and Westpac are happy to provide folks visiting Australia with banking facilities. Normally the cards are delivered directly to the branch for collection with further correspondence/cards etc being posted directly to the UK once the final paper work is completed.
Check out the links at the end of this article to see if either of these banks have branches in the location of where you'll be visiting.
So how do I open a bank account from outside Australian?
Ok Ok, we're getting there! :D
There are a number of banks offering Migrant Banking facilities, however one of the more popular banks for new migrants is Westpac.
The Westpac account offers online access from the UK. However you will only be able to pay monies into the account (and not withdraw) until you have been identified, either in Australia or via the acceptable referee method as further on in this article.
This is an important point as it means if you haven't been identified you can't get back the monies you've put in until you're in Australia!
It's probably worthwhile therefore not to put you're life's savings into your new Westpac account just yet!
Opening the account:
The account can be opened over the telephone. Simply phone Westpac on +61 2 9293 927 and the Westpac reps will run through the whole process with you (note this call terminates in Australia so check your call rates first!)
At the end of this process the Westpac rep will confirm your sort codes (or BSB Code as they call them here in Australia) and account number which will enable you to transfer money into the account.
They will also ask you which branch you want to collect your card/s from once in Australia
Remember, if it is a joint account, you will both need to be present to speak to the Westpac operator.
Identification is by turning up at your nominated branch once in Australia. They may also tell you that you cannot register for internet banking until you have been identified. It seems however that this is not the case with quite a few folks being able to register for internet banking before going through this identification process.
That's it – jobs done, you now have Westpac bank accounts that you can pay money into.
When you arrive in Australia and go to the bank with your passport etc, (see Westpac site for documents required to confirm identity), you will get your cards and the account will be fully active.
After you have phoned to set the account up, they will send you a pack in the post. This will probably take 10 days or so to come through. The pack will include a form called, 'Identification by an acceptable referee'.
This is a form that you can use if you desperately want to activate your account for withdrawals before you enter Australia.
An acceptable referee in the UK is someone that has personally known you for over 12 months, and works for a bank, and has the authority to open international accounts. Yes I know. Pretty hard to come by huh? :|
The form allows you to activate your account from the UK, allowing you to withdraw, as well as pay in money.
You can pay into your Westpac account by using the sort code, (BSB code), and account number that they gave you on the phone when you applied.
You can also check your balance by telephone or internet banking from the UK – see below.
Getting access to on-line banking:
Once you have phoned and opened an account, give it a few days and phone them again, this time on the telephone banking number – +61 1300 655 505 – ask them to register you for telephone banking.
They will ask you for one of your account numbers.
They will then give you an 8 digit customer number and a 3 digit ID number. These are what you use when you call telephone banking to check that your payments have gone it.
Then, ask them for a temporary password for on-line banking.
If it is a joint account, you will both need to speak to the advisor as you will have different customer and ID numbers, and your own temporary password. Just ask the operator if you can pass the phone over to your partner if you have a joint account.
Once you have your temporary password, you can go to Westpac online and click to 'log-in' to internet banking – (do not click on register for on-line banking – go straight to log-in), you will enter your 8 digit customer number and your temporary password.
The site will then ask you to choose a new password, along with a few other questions, and then voila – you have access to your Westpac account on-line.
Again, you should both do this if it is a joint account. You will both access the same account, but have your own unique log in number and password.
Once on-line, you can add all of your other on-line accounts to it, so you can see your whole financial situation at a glance from one access page.

i am an australian citizen currently residing in the uk and would like to take advantage of the current interest rates i oz before finally retiring there. can i do this ?
Opened my account through Westpac online, got a phone call from someone in their London office about 15 mins after pressing the submit button in case I had any questions.
They also recommend using a broker (HIFX) and not the bank to do foreign currency transactions. Setting this up was really easy – I even transferred the cash before my Australian bank account was open since the rate was good at the time – you instruct the broker to buy the AUD, transfer to them the requied GBP, then you can enter the destination bank account within 30 days soon as it's set up (Westpac take approx 5 days).
Hope that's useful
Have just returned from Australia and note their bank savings rates
are much better that the UK. Can I as a UK citizen open an account
there? I'm thinking of opening a Westpac 5 year deposit account offering an 8% p.a. interest return.
I've read that Citibank have a special 'backpackers account'. It's especially designed for people on working holiday visas (e.g. me!) so might be useful to someone out there.
I've just opened an account with ANZ and want to tell you that it was extremely easy to do so. All I had to do was fill out the form and post it to their London office. The form's available on their website but I had several copies of it already as they hand them out at every emigration show.
The account I've chosen (V2 Plus) requires a minimum initial deposit of $5,000 (but that then means there are no monthly account charges and it pays interest). Although it is described as an "initial deposit" ANZ are pragmatic and so set up the account and then give you time to make the deposit afterwards via an FX specialist (I'm using Halo Financial). Note that I won't be able to make any withdrawals until I've visited an ANZ branch in Australia to "identify" myself. I have to visit Australia next month to validate my visa anyway so that's not an issue for me. As I'll definitely have been in Australia for less than six weeks all I'll need for identity is my (entry stamped) passport. I e-mailed ANZ before opening the account and they confirmed that I don't need an Australian address.
Note that although I have permanent residency and do intend to move in the future there's been no mention of a need for this from ANZ so as long as Cameron is going to visit Australia I don't see why he can't open an account with them.
I work for NAB (National Australia Bank) and we have a dedicated Migrant Banking solution for people planning the move to Australia. With NAB you can open an account 12 months before you are planning to get here and you receive a dedicated migrant banker to assist you in Australia irrespective of the amount of money you are bringing with you. There is no charge to set up the account and fees are waived until you arrive in Australia and meet your new bank manager. You can apply online at the website listed and you will receive your account in 24 – 48 hours.
Hope this assists some of you.
Does anyone have any information on opening a bank account in Australia from the UK if I have no intention of moving there.
I have family members there that I would like to give access to money without having to keep making transfers to them from here.
I live in London and would like to simply "stock pile" some reserves so that when they do need the money it is easily transferrable from my Aus account into theirs via online banking.
I tried to open an account with HSBC Australia from the UK. However I was told in an HSBC London branch that this service would cost me £150.00!
Will therefore go with an Australian bank.
I used HSBC to open my Australian account. I had an HSBC daily checking account, high yield savings account, and several credit cards, all through American branches. I simply walked into my local HSBC branch, explained that I was moving to Australia in April and needed to open an Account with HSBC in Melbourne (they have offices in other capital cities too). They did all the paperwork for me, I made the initial transfer through OzForex (gave me a better rate than HSBC) and then received a letter at my US address confirming the account had been set up. A few days before I left the US, I called HSBC in Melbourne and confirmed that they had indeed received my initial transfer. I arrived in Melbourne on Thursday, on Friday I went into the HSBC branch on Collins Street, signed one form, showed them my passport, and collected my ATM card, pin number, and online bank code. It was SO easy!!!
I hope this helps someone with this critical dilemma.
As an Aussie living in the UK I am trying to find a way to transfer money from my UK bank account to my Australian bank account for free or low cost. It is currently costing me £19.50 per transaction (ouch!). As the banking system here is totally un-user friendly and despite having a permanent job, I cannot get a credit card in the UK (they tell me it's because I have no credit history in the UK) and so keep having to use my Australian one – and send back repayments every month. Any suggestions?
pingbacks / trackbacks
[...] in order to buy some time. As you may know, if you are also planning to move to Australia, you can open a bank account before you [...]

Stiglitz, Freeland, Mandles Talk Art, Inequality, at Leila Heller Gallery
Chelsea galleries are better known for serving the super rich than taking them to task, but if any 1-percent patrons happened upon Leila Heller Gallery last Tuesday night, they were in for a surprise. A panel discussion devoted to economic inequality brought Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz and Thomson Reuters Digital Editor Chrystia Freeland to the gallery to speak alongside Roger Mandle, executive director of the Qatar Museums Authority, and artist Gayle Mandle.
Diana Burroughs, the director of modern and contemporary art at Leila Heller Gallery, said that as art becomes more political, she wants to broaden the gallery's engagement with other fields and involve experts from outside the art world. "The fact is that there is a movement and there should be a dialogue about how art is reflecting society," she said. Read More

Rodney Alcala: Extreme Serial Killer
Rodney Alcala was twice found guilty of the kidnapping and murder of Robin Samsoe. Both convictions were overturned on technicalities, first by the California Supreme Court in 1984, then by a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2001.
In 1984, the California Supreme Court determined that the jury shouldn't have been allowed to hear about Alcala's other convictions. Furthermore, the judges believed that two of Alcala's inmates who testified against him had perjured themselves.
Robert Dove and Michael Herrera testified that Alcala had told Herrera that he had lured the girl into his car by offering her money for photos and promising to drive her to her ballet class. Dove had overheard the conversation, in which Alcala allegedly had told Herrera that he hadn't stabbed the girl, but beat her unconscious. Herrera also said that Alcala told him that he'd left the girl's bicycle behind a thrift store; the owner of a thrift store in El Monte testified that he had indeed found a child's yellow Schwinn behind his shop.
In 2001, the defense claimed that the prosecution hadn't properly handled Dana Crappa's statements. She had claimed amnesia and didn't testify during the second trial, but her previous testimony was presented in her absence.
Alcala has since remained in prison, and he's been keeping himself busy. He's tried to sue the California state prison system over a fall that he took — and over refusing to provide him with a low-fat diet. He's spoken out against the new state policy of routinely testing and comparing DNA, the practice that has tied him to the rapes or murders of Jill Barcomb, Georgia Wixted, Charlotte Lamb and Jill Parenteau. And in 1994 he wrote a book defending himself, You, the Jury.
He still denies that he killed Robin Samsoe. He's flip-flopped, first saying that an insanity defense exculpates him in the deaths of Barcomb, Wixted, Lamb and Parenteau, and then insisting that he didn't kill them either.
But now he's on trial for the deaths of the girl and all four women.

It was approaching 5am before we tumbled into bed and surprisingly managed to be up in time for church at 10.15am this morning.
In addition to myself the dinner was also attended by my fellow Candidates Deborah Dunleavy from Bolton North East and Jake Berry from Rossendale and Darwen
I witnessed an extraordinary meeting at Bury Council last night. The public gallery was full of Council employees who are losing pay as a result of the job evaluation and regrading exercise that Bury Council, indeed every Council, is having to undertake. After repeated heckling from some in the public gallery the Mayor adjourned the meeting at which point the employees left and so did all the Labour Councillors. When the meeting resumed with only Liberal Democrat and Conservative Councillors present a civilised debate took place on what is an extremely difficult problem for the Council to resolve.
Earlier in the day I had attended a coffee morning organised by the Bury North Ladies Committee and I then attended a meeting of the Bury Rotary Club.
On Monday evening I attended the Service of Licensing, Commissioning and Welcome of the the new Team Vicar for The Ramsbottom and Edenfield Ministry held at St. Paul's Church in Ramsbottom. The new Team Vicar is Reverand Anthony Barnshaw and I was pleased that after the Service I was able to speak to him personally and wish him well as he takes up his new duties. He is clearly very enthusiastic and I am sure he will be a great addition to the Team in Ramsbottom.

Google reported nearly $3.35 billion in net income on $13.97 billion in revenue, during the first quarter of the year. The search giant is also nearing the end of a full-scale transition from separated advertising channels, campaigns and strategies to a more converged multi-screen platform.
Google reported nearly $3.35 billion in net income on $13.97 billion in revenue, during the first quarter of the year. Excluding the Motorola Mobility business, which accounted for $1 billion in revenue, Google's revenue from advertising and its other businesses grew almost 18 percent from the previous quarter and 20 percent year-over-year.
Paid clicks rose just 3 percent from the previous quarter, but jumped a steady 20 percent from the year prior. Average cost-per-click rates declined 4 percent on an annual and quarterly basis. Meanwhile, traffic acquisitions costs climbed 15 percent from the first quarter of 2012 to $2.96 billion but as a percentage of advertising revenues the cost remained flat from the year prior at 25 percent.
Google is nearing the end of a full-scale transition from separated advertising channels, campaigns and strategies to a more converged multi-screen platform it calls Enhanced Campaigns. More than 1.5 million campaigns have already upgraded to enhanced campaigns, and the company expects to have all of its advertisers moved over to the new platform by the end of the quarter.
"We're slowly moving a huge advertising system and ecosystem on a dime," says Google chief executive Larry Page on the company's quarterly earnings call with investors.
Separate campaigns for desktop and mobile "makes arduous work for agencies and brands," he says. "It means mobile opportunities often get missed." Google wants to simplify advertising for its customers and enable brands to focus on their campaigns and message," Page explains.
About 95 percent of Google's clients are already managing campaigns across screens, adds Nikesh Arora, senior vice president and chief business officer at Google. "Our clients are hungry to advertise where consumers are," he says.
Page also highlighted the momentum that Google is making in voice search, an area where he sees huge opportunity and expects to see a lot of innovation but not one that he worries about placing ads in anytime soon.
"The reason we've been successful at advertising is because we view that as another source of information," he says.
Although much of Google's business is built around capturing people's time and attention, Page sees even more opportunity around improving the overall experience and effective use of technology.
"I think that computers are now a pretty big part of peoples' lives and I think that's increasing as it gets more useful," he says. "More importantly, the usefulness of your engagement is going to increase." More meaningful engagement can make for better business results and happier people, he adds.
Page also took a more defensive stance on Google's ongoing investment and efforts in non-core businesses like self-driving cars.
"Companies can tend to get comfortable doing what they've always done with a few minor tweaks," he says, but incremental steps will never be enough in the long run, especially in technology.
"The best people often want to work on the biggest bets, and there's not much competition because no one else is crazy enough to try," he adds.
"Someday we will all be amazed that computing involved fishing around in our pockets and purses," Page continues. "We are still at only one percent of what's possible. We are really just getting started."
Google ended the quarter with almost $50.1 billion in cash and 53,900 employees.

Late-Romantic Italian Symphony on Symphony @ 7
Giovanni Sgambati is not one of the better known late 19th and early 20th Century Italian composers, due in part no doubt, to the fact that opera dominated the music coming from that country at the time; think of Verdi, Puccini, Massenet, Mascagni, Leoncavallo, you get the picture. This evening on Symphony @ 7, we'll have a grand Romantic symphony from 1881 by Giovanni Sgambati.
Sgambati, who was born in Rome in 1841 and died there in 1914, went against the current and focused primarily on writing instrumental music. He had, presumably, an Italian father, but his mother was English. He studied with Franz Liszt and was also much influenced by the German symphonic tradition and sense of form and combined all this with a strong Italian melodic style.
I'm happy to say there's a fine new recording from Naxos of the very substantial, five-movement, Symphony No. 1 in D, Op. 16, and we have it for you beginning at 7 pm on Classical 101. So, join me for something of a musical rarity from Giovanni Sgambati, a work that was admired by Edvard Grieg and Camille Saint-Saens and often conducted by Arturo Toscanini.
Here's a sample:

There are a lot of artists in the Bay that I like for different reasons, but I have to say Mac Mall is one of my favorite all around artists. He was 16 years old when "Illegal Business" was released, his debut on Young Black Brotha Records out of Vallejo, who also brought the Mack, Mac Dre, Ray Luv and Young Lay to the world. Actually, this is the record company that put Vallejo on the Bay Area hip hop map. The lyricism and swagger of the young teenage Mac Mall on songs like "Illegal Business," "Sic Wid Tis," "Ghetto Theme" and "My Opinion" made him a legendary rapper out the gate.

I don't know how yet but I'm going to find out".
After a whirlwind of traveling, she returned to New York 2007 she was introduced toGYROTONIC® method and practiced steadily to rehabilitate her body's restrictions from pain, injuries, mild scoliosis and two knee surgeries. It is far more fulfilling and alleviating for her with all the physical issues she had which led her to become a teacher so that she could teach herself. During this time she realized the many dynamic possibilities of the movement system, how it can help bring balance in one's overall well-being, her interest and alacrity to share the benefits of the work with others flourished. Having been so fortunate and so incessantly grateful to have amazing teachers, friends and family inspired her more to pass on the work to others with passion and to do her best in keeping the integrity of the work.
She has been traveling around the country and overseas in the past 4 years, mostly training and teaching in GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® courses, Specialized Equipment, movement for performance enhancement, therapeutic applications and workshops. Seeing the changes in people's bodies for the better, healing and over all well-being, has been one of the most gratifying experiences in her life. This has certainly helped her gain more clarity to answer that random question of how to bring balance at least one person at time. Currently she is a licensed GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Pre-Trainer based in New York / New Jersey. She has recently integrated meditation, part-time computer work in her daily life and started training this year in dance with ballet, contemporary and hip-hop now that she feels stronger, healed and has more awareness in her movement with the hopes of inspiring others just as she has been inspired by her own teachers.

Legal Ethics
Hiring Law Students for Free Online Research Is Widespread and Unethical, Opinion Says
Posted Jan 4, 2012 8:40 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Budget-minded lawyers who think they can hire law students for their free access to Lexis and Westlaw should think again, according to a Utah ethics opinion.
A lawyer who uses law students to access free online research violates ethical rules, according to the Nov. 15 opinion by the Utah State Bar Ethics Opinion Advisory Committee. The Legal Skills Prof Blog has the story.
According to the opinion, numerous students have reported that their employment is conditioned on providing free research for their employers. Such research amounts to theft of services because students have signed user agreements restricting free research to educational and nonprofit purposes, the opinion says.
Misusing student privileges violates a lawyer's duty of supervision and is conduct involving dishonesty or misrepresentation, the opinion adds.

Burnley family to continue fight against North West Ambulance Service
2:00pm Thursday 20th March 2014 in News By Tyrone Marshall, Reporter
THE family of a Burnley woman who collapsed and died in the street said they are to continue their fight against the North West Ambulance Service.
Jacqueline Stewart, 53, died in October last year despite a desperate battle by her family to save her outside her Briercliffe Road home. An inquest into her death heard that Mrs Stewart's family still disputed ambulance response times by NWAS.
One of Mrs Stewart's three children, Emma, said: "The family went through our phone records. I was on the phone to my husband at 6.09pm and the first ambulance had not arrived at that point.
"We know that the times they say are not right and we will continue to fight for the truth."
Family and neighbours made six 999 calls between 5.44pm and 6.11pm on the evening of October 17.
Peter Ballan, a sector manager at NWAS, told the inquest that the first Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) was despatched at 5.48pm and arrived on the scene at 6pm.
He also said that an ambulance, which was the nearest at the time, had been sent to the scene at 5.49pm, and arrived at 6.11pm.
He told the inquest that these figures were recorded by a tracking system on the vehicles, and by paramedics pressing a button to record their arrival.
Emma said that the RRV did not arrive until between 6.10pm and 6.15pm, and that the ambulance wasn't on the scene until 6.25pm. The ambulance left the scene at 6.34pm and arrived at Royal Blackburn Hospital at 6.50pm and paramedics continued to try CPR on Mrs Stewart, although the family believe she had died on the street in Burnley.
Emma, who is a nurse at Royal Blackburn Hospital, said: "I know that she had died in Burnley.
"I knew as soon as I saw her on the floor that she had died.
"From reading a paramedics report I know she had died then because it said her pupils were fixed and dilated. But the paramedics continued to try CPR when taking her into the hospital instead of telling us the truth."
The inquest heard that Mrs Stewart had called her husband Phil at 5.42pm and said 'I'm dying, I'm dying' over the phone.
Pathologist Dr Abdul Al-Dawoud said that Mrs Stewart had traces of food in her larynx and had slightly higher than prescribed meditcation, including an anti-depressant and tramadol, in her system. Those drugs had caused a slight depression in her respiratory system.
Coroner Richard Taylor said that Mrs Stewart, who also leaves behind two other children, Kevin and Samantha, had not deliberately taken too many prescribed drugs. He said the ambulance time was not relevant to the inquest as paramedics would not have been able to save her as she died within a short time after collapsing.
The coroner recorded a verdict of misadventure.

Malthus says...
I firmly believe that the vast majority of ambulance, nursing and medical personnel are trying to do their very best and also trying to fulfill their commitment to their vocation; I wish everyone else thought the same.
In conclusion I would like to state that obviously there are cases of negligence, these should be dealt with and the victims or their families should be compensated. In this case and given the time of day, (rush hour) there is a spike in demand for the ambulance service and there are limited resources available at a time when the roads are very busy; I know this because I used to work at the BT 999 call centre in Blackburn. Sadly the ambulance service can not save everyone.

Truth will out says...
Even if the figures are disputed it sounds academic based on the coroner's report.
I feel bad for the family for what must have been an extremely traumatic time but unfortunately this action won't help them or other families who may need the ambulance.

Used to be you couldn't hear a hot song without the artist shouting out super producer Scott Storch. The man was everywhere and for good reason too. Storch was responsible for some of the biggest hip hop hits and during his mega run in the game managed to amass a $70 million net worth. To give you an idea of how much that is, say you have $20 and you spend $15, now you only have $5. Now say you have $70 million and you spend $15 you would still have $70 million. Sadly a stent with cocaine, lavish cars and Paris Hilton has left Scotty boy broke as a joke. His $11 million yacht? Gone. $10 million mansion? Gone. Those cool aviator sunglasses? Gone. Let this be a lesson to you, if you stumble upon $70 million, save some please. Buy a McDonald's, have a rainy day fund, big ass piggy bank, anything, just don't end up like this guy.

The metro will get a new burn center before the year is over, and it will do more than just trauma response.
"Having a burn center at Research adds one more piece to the care we already provide. It makes us a more comprehensive center, allows us to fully treat those patients and give them the best care available," said Matt Sogard, the chief operating officer at Research Medical Center.
Sogard said Kansas City needs a new burn center.
"We reviewed demand data and think there's an unmet need for burn patients in the region. We think this will be a regional draw. It fits well with our level one trauma center. It fits well with what we do," he said.
Kansas City firefighters who transport burn victims agree that the closer the burn center, the better.
"So usually when we have these problems, we have a large number of patients that need a burn center," Tom Collins with the Kansas City Fire Department said.
The new burn center, set to open Oct. 1, is a collaboration between Research and Grossman Burn Center, which operates several similar burn centers in California and Arizona.
"Grossman burn centers have been operating for 40 years, Grossman is the largest privately owned plastic surgery-based burn program in the country," Sogard said.
Right now, the only American Burn Association-certified burn center sits across the state line at the University of Kansas Hospital.
"KU runs a very nice burn center. Our opening of a burn center is to continue to meet the needs of the community. It's to get a burn center operating on the Missouri side. We think there's plenty of demand in this region for two burn centers to operate," Sogard said. "We're excited about what ours will bring to the community."
The center will have eight beds, ready to care for any type of burn.

Stillwater Offers Warm Welcome, Multiple Amenities to Visitors, Newcomers
Zannotti's Wine Bar
Newcomers to Stillwater had better enjoy the title, because they won't feel like strangers for very long. People here embrace new neighbors, and make sure they know all about the local amenities. And there's plenty to talk about – top-notch schools and nearby Oklahoma State University, a thriving parks and recreation system, an active and involved nonprofits community and much more. On the academic side, Stillwater's got plenty to brag about. Stillwater Public Schools is one of the highest achieving districts in the state. It operates on two district tracks, college prep and vocational/agricultural, so that all of its graduates are ready for a successful career. "Those on the college prep track take advantage of many advanced-placement classes, and during their senior year, more than 70 percent of SHS students enroll in concurrent college classes at Oklahoma State University or Northern Oklahoma College," says Dr. Ann Caine, superintendent. "Students on a vocational path have similar opportunities. In 2009, more than 100 students took concurrent classes at Meridian Technology Center in preparation for careers in industry, technology and health care. SHS also has dedicated agricultural programs housed in a recently completed Agricultural Education Facility." For its part, OSU works to embrace both the schools and the whole community at large, says Gary Shutt, director of communications. "Oklahoma State and Stillwater have joined together for 120 years to create a quintessential college town," Shutt says. "With its diversity of people and expansive expertise, OSU greatly enhances the city's quality of life and cultural opportunities, and OSU students add a youthful vibrancy. At the same time, the Stillwater community provides a supportive, friendly and safe environment for OSU students and employees." Stillwater's thriving arts and cultural scene ensures plenty to do after hours and on the weekends. Everything from the legendary Town and Gown Theatre, which has been putting on plays and musicals for almost 60 years, to major events that include the Stillwater Blues Festival and the Arts & Heritage Festival, are strong draws for the entire region. For those wanting to get outside, there's everything from fishing on Lake McMurtry to clubs and leagues for just about every sport imaginable. There's also the annual Boomer Blast boat race and family festival held every July 4. Along with all the college-style vibe Stillwater offers, it has plenty of quiet oases as well. New developments and condominiums abound with amenities, while many older neighborhoods are loaded with large trees and gracious homes, with plenty of front porches and sidewalks where neighbors congregate to catch up on the events of the day. Residents also gather to help out the community when needed, says Sheri Carter, executive director of the Stillwater Area United Way. "People are so friendly here," Carter says. "When the letter carriers had a food drive, it brought in enough to fully stock four food banks for an entire summer. You see people pitching in like that for us, and for other organizations in the area. This is probably the easiest community in the world to be a United Way director; they all want to know what they can do next."

Darrelle Revis took to Twitter to respond to trade rumors Thursday, saying he is "speechless" that the New York Jets are reportedly seeking offers for the star cornerback. The Jets could run afoul of the salary cap if they can't find some way to clear space and getting rid of the fan favorite may be the only recourse they have.
I'm speechless by far but more importantly I feel more upset for the jet nation for having to go through this!!!— Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) January 24, 2013
Revis didn't criticize the organization, however, saying later "I guess we'll see how this plays out." While the Jets would no doubt like to keep one of the NFL's elite defensive backs, there may not be a better time to get something in return. The Jets may not be able to afford to sign Revis to a long-term extension, and his contract stipulates that the team cannot use the franchise tag on him. Plenty of teams around NFL would jump at the chance to acquire Revis, even coming off a torn ACL, and the Jets in turn could use draft picks to address other glaring needs.
Gang Green Nation: Jets would want a first round pick
John Idzik avoided talking about Revis' contract when he was introduced as the new general manager of the Jets on Thursday. Head coach Rex Ryan has made it clear that he thinks very highly of Revis and would rather retain his services. Owner Woody Johnson has the power to give final say, however.
Revis is owed $6 million in 2013 and is signed through the 2014 season. The Jets would have to eat a $3 million penalty if they do trade Revis.

Relay on the River set to light up the night
"In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary," Aaron Rose once said.
On Aug. 27, Relay for Life organizers are hoping that the right light produced by hundreds of luminarias will make a local effort to fight cancer extraordinary.
Individuals throughout Tunica County are now selling luminarias that will honor cancer survivors, support those currently battling the disease and remember those who have lost the battle. In addition to serving as a tribute, the small bags, filled with sand and a candle, will be used to light up Rivergate Park when the sun sets.

Apparently most parents in Westminster cut their kid's hair at home or very few people feel a connection to their kid's groomer. That said, the few people who weighed in chose the Hair Cuttery as their favorite place to get haircuts for kids.
Next week we'll be talking about favorite sandwiches and I know we'll be hearing from you then!
Here is the story as originally posted:
If you're a parent, you know how difficult it can be for little ones to sit still while having their hair cut. But there are those places that focus on making the experience comfortable and maybe even enjoyable for kids. Know of such a place in Westminster?
Here are some local establishments that that go out of their way to make kids happy while being groomed. If we're leaving anyone off the list, please let us know in the comments and we'll consider adding it:
Voting in the poll below is open until 9 a.m. Friday. The winner will be selected by whichever business has the most positive comments in the section below and in the reviews on their directory listings linked above.
Because the poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by Patch, based on a combination of poll results, reviews on Patch Places and in comments on this article. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.
If your business is listed here (or if you own another business in town), learn how to claim your listing for free on Westminster Patch by watching this video.
We will announce the winner at noon Friday.
Next week's Readers' Choice will ask you to weigh in on your favorite sandwich joint.

In response to the Diocese of Raleigh's Pastoral Plan, the office of Marriage and Family is offering a series to improve marriages called The Third Option.
The Diocesan Plan states, "The Diocese of Raleigh will inspire, challenge and help Catholics to witness to marriage as a natural institution founded by God and raised to the dignity of a Christian Sacrament, and to the value of children and family life."
The Third Option is a skills-based group program that helps married couples build stronger, more fulfilling marriages. While not a counseling program, it combines skill building and mentor sharing to provide ongoing support. Facilitated by trained volunteers, it comprises 15 stand-alone sessions. Couples can start at any time in the process.
"Communication is the biggest skill we have learned," said a Third Option participant. "We always talked before, but now it's more focused. I am more open in my communication, and my husband is more sensitive to me now." The couple added, "Sometimes when an argument starts to escalate, one of us will say, 'Third Option,' and that brings us down and reminds us to start talking."
The program was conceived by Patricia Ennis, who had a friend going through a divorce in the 1980's. Her friend's experience led her to think the about the two options available to struggling couples: counseling or divorce. She realized that couples also need hope and help. Ennis, who has a Masters in Social Work from Syracuse University, began working on the skill-building workshops, and The Third Option was born.
The Third Option has programs throughout the United States and in the Bahamas. In the Diocese of Raleigh, St. Francis of Assisi in Raleigh is hosting the 15 sessions, which take place twice a month. Couples meet every second and fourth Wednesdays from 7:00-9:00 pm. Due to the program's popularity, St. Patrick Church in Fayetteville and parishes in several other deaneries are in the planning stages to host Third Option sessions in 2011.
Upcoming sessions at St. Francis of Assisi are:
