Monday Morning Humor: Who's On First, the Sequel
Look for a special guest appearance by Billy Crystal, and then I don't know who shows up at the end to try to straighten everything out:

Monday Morning Humor: Praise & Worship Music in 45 Seconds
Although this is a secular comedian, he makes a very shrewd point here about the silliness of distancing oneself from "organized religion," as if there is such a thing as "disorganized religion." In the process, he also, perhaps unintentionally, provides a brilliant parody of many contemporary praise & worship songs.
"La-la-la-la-la… disorganized."

Monday Morning Humor: Obama & Putin Discuss Foreign Policy
A little outdated by now, but hey, I just now found it and felt led to share.

"None at all."

Monday Morning Humor: Classic Tongue-Twisters!
Carol Burnett and Roddy McDowall are absolutely marvelous together. My, didn't he grow up to be charming? ;-) They bide their time before breaking into "Moses Supposes," but there's so much good stuff here I figured I'd save myself a little time and just embed the whole thing. My only question: Shouldn't it be "Thus, the seething sea sufficeth us?" Methinks he slippeth!
Roddy: "Try this one. Captain Craxcomb cracked his cousin's coxcomb…"
Carol: "Will you knock that off?"
Monday Morning Humor: Before Mark Lowry, Before Tim Hawkins…
Last week I featured a clip of one of my favorite comic actors, Dick Van Dyke. Did you know that he has a kid brother who's also a pretty darn good comedian? His name is Jerry, and I discovered him in this old episode of the Judy Garland Show. I immediately thought, "So THAT'S where Mark Lowry and Tim Hawkins got their weird!" I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of their facial contortions and physical techniques were influenced by Jerry Van Dyke, maybe even specifically influenced by this routine, which is classic. In it, he lip-syncs/performs a 6-and-a-half minute version of the Lone Ranger's radio debut. I actually have that radio broadcast on cassette tape, which made the routine even funnier for me to watch. He really hits his stride once Tonto shows up about half-way through:
Monday Morning Humor: Dick Van Dyke Explains Comedy to Kids
When I was little, my three great loves were Dick Van Dyke, Danny Kaye and Donald O'Connor. (Pause for a gratuitous collage):
Where was I? Oh yes, one reason why these particular three were my great loves (w/apologies to Gene Kelly, Bing Crosby, etc.) was that they all had something specific in common: They were geniuses of physical comedy. And nothing can make little kids laugh like brilliant physical comedy. Of the three, I probably fell hardest (as it were) for Dick Van Dyke, on the strength of his two classic performances in Chitty, Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins. He is also the only one still with us today (with a Twitter account no less—check him out busting a dance move in the department store on Vine too). In today's clip from his classic sitcom, he is inspired to unpack the science of slapstick and pantomime in front of a classroom of little kids, after failing to impress them merely with words and his cred as a sketch writer for the Alan Brady show. Enjoy:

Monday Morning Humor: Classic Songwriting Spoof
In this rare clip from a 1952 episode of the Colgate Comedy Hour, Donald O'Connor and his underrated partner in comedy Sid Miller have the Tin Pan Alley blues. Try and try as they might, the next "White Christmas" is eluding the starving, freezing would-be hit-makers. They proceed to spoof the classic genre in side-splitting style.
"Beethoven said in order to write great music you gotta suffer."
"We gotta suffer."
I have marked off the ending of the skit before they segue into some impressions pairing up famous actors, but that skit is pure gold too, so if you like you can hover 'til you see an "x" and click 'n' drag to keep watching (or just go here and skip forward). If you know anything about old movies, you'll love their takes on Edward G. Robinson + Lionel Barrymore, Ronald Colman + Peter Lorre, Bing Crosby + Barry Fitzgerald, and Jimmy Cagney + Jimmy Stewart. Donald's Bing and Stewart are spot-on and it's all quite wonderful. Plus, 50s product placement: "Ah Bing my boy, I tell you from the bottom of my heart, your voice is as fine as Fab, as brilliant as Halo, and as powerful as Ajax."
Monday Morning Humor: Barney Fife Recites the Preamble to the Constitution
Well, technically the 4th celebrates the Declaration, but it's become a tradition for celebrating the legacy of America's independence in general, so here's Barney Fife's classic stab at reciting the Constitution's preamble by heart:

Monday Morning Humor: Radio Promotion Done Right
The Centricity record label (home to popular CCM artists like Aaron Shust, Andrew Peterson, and DownHere) has created some very cute promotional videos for its artists. I featured one before, but I thought I'd feature a couple more for Monday Morning Humor. Label owner John Mays (whose illustrious resumee you can look up for yourself online) runs his own Radio 101 course… in his basement. Here's the episode featuring Jason Gray.
"I'm the big bad wolf of radio success, and I EAT cute little artists like you for BREAKFAST."
Check out Part II, also guest starring Jason, where John Mays runs for President of… something. Keep watching to the end!
"I sent an e-mail to Bono. At u2.com. Is that his e-mail address?"

There isn't any style tag in my plugin. HOTLogin wrap the mod_login code, which is not included in it. So you're probably having trouble with the login module, not with the plugin itselfs.

Wow, Ryzom certainly is distinctive looking and the graphics look really good too. I'm not sure how the game works mechanically so I can't comment other than to say:
"It's another crappy fantasy setting!"
Of course, the engine is GNU sourced so Scott could whip us up a SF-themed setting. All the heavy lifting has been done for you!
So this begs the question: Will licensing MMORPG game engines be a successful business model? Does the income generated by monthly subscriptions outweigh the cost of licensing, especially over the long haul? Will the licensor charge monthly/yearly fees for updates to the engine? All interesting questions…
And perhaps the most interesting question of all: Will there be an open source model of Natalie Portman?
Once Peter downloads the code there will be!
Oh, and gets some talent in the modeling (3D!) arena….
You don't need an open source for that, just get a viewer and pull it out of SWG…
Maybe if I'm lucky enough to contract some deadly disease, I can write to the make-a-wish foundation and NP might let me paint dots all over her and I'll raytrace her myself…
I have been thinking about this same idea. So I did a google search. I wonder how many people are sharing this idea?

Court tosses arena appeal
Date: May 7, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
LAKEWOOD RANCH — With any fine print, asterisks or riders, Schroeder-Manatee Ranch officially is the sole owner of the community's hockey arena.
The Court of Appeals in Lakeland yesterday dismissed construction firm Walbridge Aldinger's plea to have its second lien on the DVA sports arena in Lakewood Ranch trump the first lien held by SMR. Circuit Judge Paul Logan had granted SMR a summary judgment last year and Walbridge Aldinger sought to have that ruling overturned.

First Look / Tommaso de Benedictis For Gucci Summer 2014

How hot is Nolan Funk in the new Versace campaign!?!?
Versace released earlier today those images by Mert & Marcus with le beau Nolan. Giving some rock and roll attitude and a lot of hotness. Via BelloMag.
We had the pleasure to photograph and feature Nolan for the September 2013 issue of Bello Mag. He was one of the many sexy faces to watch in our Year Book ... Congrats Nolan!
Those of you following me on Instagram - alekandsteph - know that I am totally obsessed with the iconic Gucci billboard on Sunset Boulevard. Everything about this billbord is amazing, from the location to the actual campaigns. Wether you are driving down Sunset Boulevard or enjoying a drink by the pool at the Chateau Marmont, the Gucci billboard is part of the LA experience.
I have been taking pics of this billboard - and every single campaigns feature on it - for years now and for years I have been enjoying the work of Mert & Marcus. So I when I saw that Mert Alas - mertalas - liked my pic on instagram it totally made my day!!!!!
I have never been a fan of social media in general, I hate facebook and can barely stand twitter, instagram is more to my liking because I take so many pictures all day long and I like to see how people's see what's around them. But when on top of that someone you respect for his work and talent - such as Mert Alas - come across one your pictures and likes it, it's kinda cool.
Follow us on instagram @ alekandsteph and bellomag.
Yesterday Versace released a couple of images of their Summer 2014 campaign. Photographers Mert & Marcus probably made Donatella's dream come to 'still' life with this new campaign - via BelloMag.
I totally see Donatella standing on top of a Campanile, on a hot summer night, screaming in between lightnings to Mert and Marcus nervously holding hands and standing below by the iron gate (infested with ienas covered with diamonds) - insert imaginary Donatella italian accent here - "MAKE ME YOUNG FORRR EVEEEEEEEEEER!!!!! OR DIE TRRRRAAAYING" ...
and this is how the concept was born.
Well I am sure it was more about taking what the essence of the Versace house really is - aka Donatella - and making some gorgeous images with an already Donatella looking celebrity - aka Lady Gaga. Either way, job well done!
The house of Versace releases their new fall/winter 2013 campaign shot by Mert & Marcus with models Matt Trethe, Dominik Bauer and Travis Smith. More images after the jump.

More than 45 million people of all ages have learned an Hour of Code, a one-hour introductory course designed to demystify computer science and show that anybody can learn the basics. Participate this December 8-14 during Computer Science Education Week and help reach 100 million students by the end of 2014.
Donate to our crowdfunding campaign. To teach 100 million children, we need your support. We just launched what could be the largest education crowdfunding campaign in history. Every dollar will be matched by major Code.org donors, doubling your impact.
Encourage local elementary schools to teach our K-5 curriculum or recruit teachers to attend a one-day workshop- at no cost. Or partner with Code.org to bring permanent courses into middle and high schools.
Petition your state to allow computer science to count towards math or science high school graduation credits. And promote computer science in your area with these stats, quotes and videos.
If you're already a software engineer, there are many opportunities to get involved locally. Volunteer to teach our other courses to local student with this guide. And sign up to hear about volunteer opportunities near you.
Code.org's online platform Code Studio enables students to learn the basic concepts of computer science as early as kindergarten. Within Code Studio, a new Play Lab has been developed where elementary students can create and send apps or animations directly to a cell phone, just by typing in the phone number.
With millions of students trying the Hour of Code, and hundreds of thousands doing the Code.org introductory online courses, we could use your help adding helpful hints for students who make mistakes. In just 10 minutes you can help improve our courses.

The revered love-child of a passed over cotton plantation and the infamous Union-suit, the t-shirt has been saving arms from fusing with chests, since miners decided to don them as protective-gear from mutation-causing free radicals. Give thanks to the best thing since the hula hoop with today's Groupon: a T-Art T-shirt for R85 from T-Art.
Birthed from the sorts of t-shirts that people say are far beyond their years, the T-Art T-shirt is a sort of clothing social butterfly. A unique way of expressing yourself, the social media t-shirt is a re-useable platform for writing messages, statements, pictures or thoughts of any kind without the effort of moving your lips or motioning with creative hand gestures.
With a uniquely designed print surface and a pen made solely for users to write on and wipe off, the t-shirt is ideal for expressing what's on your mind. Messages can easily be written, then wiped with a wet cloth if you change your mind and then reworked into wisecracks that will up your street cred. In fact, it's perfect if you're one of those indecisive yes-but-no-but-yes types. Alternatively, if you only have one thing to say on a particular day, write your witty one-liner in the designated area and after about ten minutes it will set for the day. To change thereafter, toss the T into the washing machine and a new canvas awaits when it dries.
A quirky and engaging form of interaction that changes as you do, the walking whiteboard t-shirt is a space for limitless opportunities, particularly when in the library and you need to let the guy on the other side of the table know that a meteor is going to hit in 15 minutes, or if you're in outer space and you just have to let someone know that the sandwich you had that morning was the best you'd ever had.
T-shirt Titbit: Rumoured to be the preferred attire in a quaint village in Brazil, t-shirt sales to the country has increased immensely. Villagers reportedly dress their babies in it when they are born and let them grow into and out of it before more t-shirts can be worn. They usually pair them with grass skirts.

France sets antitrust watchdog loose on Apple, raids premises

French newspaper Les Echos reported that officials from the French competition watchdog searched Apple's premises last week, confiscating documents and …

An incident occurred while French police was searching the premises of Apple. This was not reported in the press, which were asked to keep silent about it, but we have the transcript of a secret recording:
Police inspector: "Elo, elo, elo, what is dis? A doggy? Hey Misteur! Does your deug bite?"
Old Apple employee, smoking a pipe: "No"
Police inspector: "Here, nice little doggy!" (tries to pat dog on head)
Deug: "Woof!" (bites police inspector)
Police inspector: "Aiiiiie! You said your deug doesn't bite!"
Old Apple employee, smoking his pipe: "Yes but dis iz not my deug!"

Cecil J. Picard became Louisiana's State Superintendent of Education in July 1996. His priorities center on early childhood education, K-3 reading skills, improving student performance through school and district accountability, alternative programs for students with discipline problems, technology, and collaboration with colleges and universities to improve teacher preparation programs.
He has worked closely with the Governor and the Legislature to develop and implement a nationally-recognized accountability system, and has recently formed a multi-state Early Childhood Education compact targeted to serve at-risk four-year olds.
Before assuming his present position, State Superintendent Picard served as a teacher, coach, and school principal in the public schools for more than 20 years. He was a member of the Louisiana Legislature for 20 years, retiring from the State Senate in 1996.
Picard's leadership has been recognized at the state and national levels. Last year, the National Governor's Association and ZERO TO THREE chose him as one of only 14 "fellows" nationwide in the first class of the State Early Childhood Policy Leadership Forum. He also accepted a post on the executive committee of the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), which advises 16 southern states on education policy. Picard was a 2001 Outstanding Alumnus at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette.

Kansas City Here I Come
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Yesterday Laura Rich posted an article on FastCompany.com, Why You Should Start a Company in... Kansas City. Rich looks at communities to consider if you want to launch a tech company. She says, "Kansas City is home to the Kauffman Foundation, a $2 billion organization dedicated entirely to research and funding of entrepreneurial efforts. And beginning February, entrepreneurs will descend upon the city in KC's version of a startup incubator: Kauffman Labs, which is paying entrepreneurs for up to six months while they build out their startups."
Rich interviews Bo Fishback, who runs Kauffman Labs. Fishback points out a few companies that are based in Kansas City, including Garmin, Cerner, and Sprint. (And on the off chance you haven't seen/heard me point this out before — our North American office is in Lawrence, which is about 40 miles away from Kansas City.)
Rich looks at other cities in her series, including Austin, New York, and Boston. Should your city make her list? Why (or why not)?comments powered by Disqus

Ohio Ratification of Federal Alcohol Prohibition, Referendum 1 (1919)
The Ohio Ratification of Federal Alcohol Prohibition Referendum, also known as Referendum 1, was on the November 4, 1919 ballot in Ohio as a veto referendum, where the legislative act ratifying federal prohibition was defeated. The vote was later overturned by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Hawke v. Smith.[1][2] The measure was one of four questions relating to alcohol prohibition on the 1919 Ohio ballot.
Hawke v. Smith
Hawke v. Smith was a lawsuit to overturn the results of the popular vote on the referendum. The contention of the prohibition supporters who filed the lawsuit was that the people of the state did not have the right to use their powers of veto referendum to overturn a state legislative ratification of a proposed federal constitutional amendment. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, saying that the people of the state were in effect acting as the state legislature for purposes of federal constitutional ratifications. That decision, however, was appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which unanimously took the opposite position; namely, that the voters of the state did not have the right to overturn the state legislature's approval of federal Prohibition.[2]
Election results
|Ohio Referendum 1 (1919)
|Overturned Case:Hawke v. Smith 253 U.S. 221 (1920)
Election results via: Ohio Secretary of State
Text of measure
The language that appeared on the ballot:
|(By Referendum Petition)
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION No.4.
Path to the ballot
The 18th Amendment of the United States Constitution, enacting federal prohibition on alcohol, was passed by the United States Congress in December of 1917 and sent to the states for ratification.[5] On January 7, 1919, the Ohio General Assembly passed Senate Joint Resolution 4, ratifying Amendment 18. The ratification was placed before the people via referendum petition.[3]

In schools, children are taught to "just say no" to bullies.
Walk away and ignore them because if a bully doesn't get attention,
they'll stop.
This attitude sets a dangerous precedent for the workplace, where
the bullying may involve a power imbalance and ignoring it may only
make it seem acceptable, or allow it to escalate to the point where
stress leave on this ground is prevalent. It's alright to say
"sticks and stones", but when it's making your job harder, it's
just as okay to find a way to speak up.
Medium to large sized workplaces now have a bullying and
harassment policy, which is usually available in procedure manuals
or the workplace intranet. It will usually give a brief
definition of bullying and an outline of the internal complaint
process. It is a good first place to look for your options,
even if you end up deciding to go elsewhere. Some questions
you might ask yourself when looking at the policy are:
A good policy will make these things clear. For example, a
good policy will have a designated complaints officer and have
clearly explained processes, including how to appeal an initial
decision. There may also be counselling services available,
or someone you can talk to without lodging a formal
If you choose to go through the complaints process and the
bullying doesn't stop, you might be able to lodge a complaint with
the Equal Opportunity Commission (EOC). The EOC requires that
you be victimised, or treated differently, to be able to
complain. For example, you could be being excluded from social
activities, or be "sent to Coventry" (where people do not speak to
you or exclude you from general conversations) or being further
Another option is a General Protections claim with Fair Work
Australia. If you suffer in your job, for example, by being
excluded from training, or subjected to unjustified performance
management, you may be able to argue that your employer has taken
adverse action against you because you made a
complaint. This extra qualification may be a bit difficult to
show in some cases so it's important you seek suitable and
professional advice.
Alternately, if you feel the bullying is discriminatory,
such as being based on your race or gender, you can make a
complaint with the EOC or the Australian Human Rights
Commission. Which forum is right for you depends on your
situation as they differ slightly in their jurisdiction and
processes. Both will usually begin with a conciliation process in
an attempt to find a solution before referring your claim for a
hearing. You don't need to have already complained through
work (internal process) to lodge an external complaint on these
It is important to remember that you are not alone if you are
facing a bully at work. There are other people in your
situation, and there are people who can help you deal with
it. If you ask for help, or make a complaint, you've taken
the first step to reducing the bully's power over you.
It's not a crystal clear area of law. It can be confusing
and complex. But we urge you not to let bullying and harassment be
a part of your work environment for these reasons. If you need to
clarify where you might stand in relation to workplace bullying,
get in touch with today's blog writer, Senior Associate at Andersons
Solicitors, Sorna Nachiappan.
Please note, this Blog is posted in Adelaide, South Australia.
It relates to South Australian State legislation and Australian
Federal legislation.

Whole prostate cross section
Biopsies are regularly taken to diagnose cancer and provide a snapshot of the disease. Trained histopathologists examine the samples under powerful optical microscopes using several specialist stains to highlight particular characteristics of cells or tissues in a time-consuming process.
Peter Gardner of the University of Manchester and colleagues hope their technique, which uses Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) chemical imaging, will eventually be turned into an automated system that can grade and stage biopsy samples 24 hours a day by identifying certain chemical signatures.
Commenting on the work, Shaul Mordechai, an expert in optical diagnostics at Ben-Gurion University in Israel, says 'an automated system could be constructed whereby the chemical image is initially classified into its constituent cell types, after which the epithelial cells can be classified as cancerous or non-cancerous. This work could be used to create an FTIR imaging system to assess early tumour diagnosis.'
Infrared spectroscopy generates a spectrum which provides a fingerprint of all the molecules present within a particular area of tissue. Advances in detectors and computing power now mean that rather than a single spectrum from the tissue, many spectra can be put together to make a chemical map.
Previously, only millimetre sized sections of tissue could be measured to a high enough degree of accuracy to produce a chemical map. Spatial resolution had to be sacrificed if larger areas were looked at, losing detailed information.
The team have now sped up the process to the point where very large areas of tissue can be measured at the highest spatial resolution available. 'Normally data collection, data readout and data pre-processing are carried out sequentially. Parallelising these processes and optimising each step has led to a huge gain in efficiency,' explains Gardner. 'Previously, using a conventional infrared microscope, it would have taken 125 years to collect 66 million spectra and, even using an off-the-shelf instrument with a large array detector, the same data would have taken 14 days. We have reduced this to just 14 hours.'
Gardner reiterates that everything is measured at high resolution in one go: 'it can be viewed "google map" style at any time in the future so that any part of the sample can be analysed at the single cell level.'

Welcome to Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review, a new ratings service that allows
you to view and provide feedback on a lawyer or law firm on service and relationship
qualities such as Communication Ability, Responsiveness, Quality of Service, and
Value for Money.
Determining a Rating
The Client Review Rating is determined through aggregation of validated responses.
This compilation of Client Reviews translates to a numerical rating and associate
descriptive term on a scale of 1 -5. 1 being lowest as "Rated" and 5 being highest
as "Preeminent".
Martindale-Hubbell uses a third-party resource to validate that the respondent is
a living person, but cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship, which in many
cases is confidential. Clients must affirm that they are a client of the lawyer
or firm identified for review at the time of the completed Client Review.
The Reviewers
Those who complete Client Reviews are clients of law firms who hired a lawyer within
the last year, whose matter is not pending, and want to share their experience of
that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be of any type
from in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners to private individuals,
and even sometimes another lawyer in a different jurisdiction.
Client Reviews are anonymous and reviewers' identities are not published;
however a summary of basic demographics will be part of the display of responses.
Why do we collect demographics as part of the review?
Those who are researching a lawyer or law firm like to see that there are other clients who might be "like them". This
is valuable information contributing to the decision-making process of hiring a
Martindale-Hubbell's role
Martindale-Hubbell facilitates the process of Client Review by gathering responses,
validating them and aggregating results for display online. The content of the responses
are entirely from reviewers, the clients of the firm or lawyer.
It is important to note that Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop Client Reviews for all
firms and lawyers. Therefore, the fact that a firm or lawyer has not been reviewed
should not be construed unfavorably. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome
and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of
any review over which Martindale-Hubbell exercises no editorial review or control.
An explanation of the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings
A Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating reflects a combination of achieving a Very High General Ethical Standards rating and a Legal Ability numerical rating.
General Ethical Standards Rating
The General Ethical Standards rating denotes adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities.
Those lawyers who meet the "Very High" criteria of General Ethical Standards can proceed to the next step in the ratings process.
Legal Ability Ratings
For lawyers rated with the changed methodology, Legal Ability ratings will now indicate professional ability within a specific area of practice. Legal Ability ratings are based on performance in five key areas, rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest). These areas are:
Legal Knowledge - Lawyer's familiarity with the laws governing his/her specific area of practice(s)
Analytical Capabilities - Lawyer's creativity in analyzing legal issues and applying technical knowledge
Judgment - Lawyer's demonstration of the salient factors that drive the outcome of a given case or issue.
Communication Ability - Lawyer's capability to communicate persuasively and credibly
Legal Experience - Lawyer's degree of experience in his/her specific area of practice(s)
Additional Feedback
The changed Peer Review Ratings allow reviewers to provide optional Additional Feedback on the lawyer under review. Additional Feedback is displayed anonymously in conjunction with the review results to the lawyer under review. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell reserves the right not to display any feedback.
Reviewer Demographics
Peer Review Ratings are anonymous and reviewers' identities are not published, but in an effort to provide more details to the users of Peer Review Ratings, LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell will aggregate reviewers' basic demographics, including general position and general geographic location, which may be published with the ratings display on martindale.com® and Lawyers.comsm. Examples of basic demographics are "private practice lawyer, senior partner, New York, USA."
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating
After a lawyer's General Ethical Standards and Legal Ability Ratings are confirmed, his/her ratings are aggregated to create an overall numeric rating for each rated Area of Practice. The numeric rating determines the Peer Review Rating, which includes a rating term and may include a Certification Mark:
AV® Preeminent™ (4.5 - 5.0) - An AV® certification mark is a significant rating accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.
BV® Distinguished™ (3.0 - 4.4) - The BV® certification mark is an excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. A widely respected mark of achievement, it differentiates a lawyer from his or her competition.
Rated (1.0 - 2.9) - The Peer Review Rated designation demonstrates that the lawyer has met the very high criteria of General Ethical Standing.
For lawyers rated in the existing program, the display will appear differently than those reviewed in the changed methodology. Because the lawyers converted to the new display have yet to be re-reviewed in the changed system, there will not be the depth of detail available on their Legal Ability Rating, Area of Practice specificity, Additional Feedback or Reviewer's Demographic data.
The Reviewers and Anonymity
The reviewers are members of the Bar and Judiciary (lawyers and judges) across multiple jurisdictions and geographic locations and are listed on martindale.com. They are from similar areas of practice and/or industry as the lawyer being rated, who know or have worked with the lawyer under review and are able to rate them on their professional ethical standards and legal ability. All Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings review materials are treated as anonymous. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell takes steps to protect your anonymity (e.g., not associating reviewer names with their responses and aggregating their responses with responses from other reviewers before sharing or publishing them). But it is possible that their responses may contain sufficient information to allow the rated lawyer to ascertain their identity.
Facilitating the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings Process
LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell facilitates the peer review process by gathering responses, validating them and aggregating results for display online. The content of the responses are entirely from reviewers, the peers of the lawyer. Peer reviewers must affirm that they are a peer of the lawyer identified for review. A peer can submit only one review for a specific lawyer within a 12-month period.
A lawyer's rating will generally improve over time. But LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review ratings can be revised downward, or even removed if a decline is noted in ability or ethical standards. While LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell makes available the option of regular rating reviews for the lawyers, the most recent results are relied upon when determining the final rating.
It is important to note that because LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings for all lawyers, the fact that a lawyer is not rated should not be construed unfavorably. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review responses displayed in whole or in part by LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell may use your responses in whole or in part in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, but it is not required to do so. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell reserves the right, in its sole, unrestricted discretion, not to publish or otherwise use all or any portion of any responses or submissions it may receive.
No subscription or listing on martindale.com or lawyers.com is ever solicited or accepted on the promise of publication of a particular Peer Review Rating. No preferential consideration is ever given to any lawyer or law firm. There is never any payment made to lawyers and judges who participate in rating reviews. The process is a cooperative service with the Bar and the Judiciary.
It is LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell policy to conduct regular random periodic reviews of all Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings to insure their accuracy. Where supporting opinions dictate, appropriate action (such as deleting, raising or lowering a rating) is taken.
Disbarred or suspended lawyers automatically have their LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings removed as soon as notified by a state Bar. Other types of lawyer disciplinary actions administered by the appropriate Bar or judicial authorities may also be grounds to remove a rating. While Bar admitting authorities supply LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell with disciplinary information, LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell also reserves the right to investigate information developed from the Bar or the judiciary regarding rated lawyers that have occurred that may impact the ethical standards of a rated lawyer.
