Agrawal v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-8527, decision below 726 F.3d 235 (2nd Cir. Aug. 1, 2013), brief filed 2/14/14. Prosecutorial Overreach---National Stolen Property Act (NSPA), 18 U.S. C. § 2314---Rule of Lenity---Statutory Construction---Trade Secrets. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support of Petition for Writ of Certiorari. Argument: The National Stolen Property Act's (NSPA) terms "goods, wares, merchandise" are limited to tangible items that are offered for sale in the marketplace. The plain language of the NSPA limits "goods, wares, merchandise" to movable items that are meant to reach the marketplace. Congress restricted the language of the NSPA by using the narrow terms "goods, wares, merchandise" and rejected amendments to expand the language to include trade secrets. Other federal statutes limit the terms "goods, wares, merchandise" to items destined for sale. This Court in Dowling v. United States limits "goods, wares, merchandise" to items that implicate traditional property rights. The nature of trade secrets renders them antithetical to the category of stolen items – "goods, wares, merchandise" that fall within the ambit of the NSPA. Applying the NSPA to trade secrets has led to varying decisions in the lower courts. The rule of lenity mandates a strict construction of "goods, wares, merchandise." Authors: Professor Ellen S. Podgor, Stetson University College of Law, Gulfport, FL; Jeffrey T. Green, Washington, DC.
Jewel v. National Security Agency,
U.S. Dist. Ct., N.D. Cal., No. 4:08-cv-4373-JSW, brief filed 8/1/14.
Bulk/Wholesale Collection of Communications---Class Action---Fourth
Amendment---Search and Seizure---Fifth
Amendment---Self-Incrimination---Sixth Amendment---Right to Counsel. Amicus Curiae Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. Argument:
Violating Plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment right by seizing and searching
all of their communications constitutes a violation of the Fifth
Amendment right against self-incrimination. Violating Plaintiffs'
Fourth Amendment right by seizing and searching all of their
communications constitutes a violation of the Sixth Amendment right to
counsel. The government's destruction of the evidence of its wrongful
search and seizure means that the injury to these other Constitutional
rights cannot be remediated and must be presumed. The fact that the
Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights of Plaintiffs have been undermined by
the surveillance at issue in this case supports the finding that this
surveillance has been made in violation of the Fourth Amendment. When
the Fourth Amendment falls, so do the Fifth and Sixth. This Court
should therefore find the surveillance at issue in this case unlawful. Authors:
Catherine R. Gellis, Sausalito, CA; Michael H. Page, Durie Tangri LLP,
San Francisco, CA; David Porter, Sacramento, CA (Of Counsel).
Loughrin v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-316, decision below 710 F.3d 1111 (10th Cir. 2013), brief filed 2/3/14. Overcriminalization---Over-federalization---Bank Fraud---18 U.S.C. § 1344. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support of Petitioner. Question Presented: As the Tenth Circuit acknowledged in its decision below, the circuits are openly divided over the elements required to convict a defendant of federal bank fraud. The question presented is: Whether the government must prove that the defendant intended to defraud a bank and expose it to risk of loss in every prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1344. Argument: The text of the bank fraud statute does not support the Tenth Circuit's holding. The Tenth Circuit's interpretation of section 1344 promotes the unwarranted expansion of federal criminal law. The number of federal crimes has increased dramatically in the past few decades. New federal crimes cover local conduct that has historically been prosecuted by the states. Some prosecutors and courts have further expanded federal criminal law in the absence of clear congressional intent. The over-federalization of criminal law has numerous adverse consequences. Increasing the number of federal crimes overwhelms the limited resources of federal courts. Overlapping state and federal jurisdiction leads to competition and inefficiencies in the administration of criminal justice. Federalizing crimes already prosecuted by the states does little to alleviate crime and undermines the vital role of the states in prosecuting crime. Over-federalization leads to the disparate treatment of similarly situated defendants. The unjustified severity of petition's sentence illustrates the dangers of over-federalization. Authors: Daniel B. Levin and Victoria A. Degtyareva, Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, Los Angeles, CA; Barbara E. Bergman, Albuquerque.
United States v. 475 Martin Lane, 9th Cir., No. 12-56922 & 13-5555 & 13-5556, on appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 2:04-cv-02788-ABC-PLA, brief filed 1/28/14. Civil Forfeiture---Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act (CAFRA) Fee Provision---Anti-Assignment Act. Brief of Amicus Curiae National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in Support of Appellees and Urging Affirmance. Argument: Congress enacted the CAFRA fee provision, over the government's objection, to ensure the availability of competent counsel for persons whose property the government seizes and seeks to forfeit. The Anti-Assignment Act does not apply to assignments of potential future CAFRA fee awards. The defense of a civil forfeiture case does not involve a claim against the government. Future, potential rights to recover statutory attorney fees are not claims against the government. Authors: John D. Cline, Law Office of John D. Cline, San Francisco, CA; Lara Kollios, Boersch Shapiro LLP, San Francisco, CA; David Porter, Sacramento, CA.
United States v. Clay, 11th Cir., No. 14-12373, Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, No. 8:11-cr-00115-JSM-MAP, brief filed 9/26/14. Whiteside---Statutory Interpretation---Objectively Reasonable---Knowingly False---Florida Medicaid Statute. Brief for Amici Curiae National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Reason Foundation and Five Criminal and Health Law Scholars In Support of Defendants-Appellants Urging Reversal. Argument: This Court held in United States v. Whiteside, 285 F. 3d 1345, 1351 (11th Cir. 2002), that a false statement charge cannot succeed when the statement is true under an objectively reasonable interpretation of the law. Under Whiteside, a statement is knowingly false only when its falsity is clear. Whiteside is an important protection against inappropriate prosecutions. Whiteside prevents government overreaching in uncertain regulatory environments. Whiteside curbs inappropriate prosecutions based on breach of contract. Whiteside protects against arbitrary and inconsistent enforcement, as occurred here. The Whiteside question should have been resolved by the district court, and this Court should conduct the Whiteside analysis de novo. Authors: Matthew G. Kaiser and Christopher C. Muha, The Kaiser Law Firm, Washington, DC; William N. Shepherd, Holland & Knight LLP, West Palm Beach, FL.
Whitfield v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-9026, decision below 548 Fed. Appx. 70 (4th Cir.(N.C.) Dec 10, 2013) (NO. 12-4956), brief filed 8/29/14. § 2113(e)---Forced Accompaniment---Ambiguity---Rule of Lenity. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support of Petitioner. Argument: The rule of lenity supports the narrow construction of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(e) urged by petitioner in this case. The phrase "forces any person to accompany him" is ambiguous. The statute's ambiguity increases the risk of inconsistent application. Section 2113€ requires substantial movement. The Court should adopt a clear rule for interpreting the forced accompaniment provision of § 2113(e). Specific rules are especially important in applying vague mandatory minimum statutes. The conflicting tests used by lower courts to interpret § 2113(e) are inadequate. In interpreting the statute, the Court should rely on the distinction for kidnapping already drawn in the Model Penal Code (MPC). Under the MPC test, the petitioner's § 2113(e) conviction should be reversed. Authors: Jeffrey T. Green and Rebecca J. Johnson, Sidley Austin LLP, Washington, DC; Jonathan Hacker, Washington, DC.
Yates v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-7451, decision below 733 F.3d 1059 (11th Cir. 2013), brief filed 2/5/14. Overcriminalization---Overfederalization---18 U.S.C. § 1519---18 U.S.C. § 2232---Executive Expansion of Criminal Law---Burden of Proof. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support of Petition for a Writ of Certiorari. Argument: Petitioner's conviction under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1519 and 2232 through his conduct aboard the Miss Katie exemplifies overcriminalization stemming from an unconstitutional executive expansion of the law. As a matter of law, the Petitioner could not have been adjudicated guilty under 18 U.S.C. § 1519 (2012) as the application of an anti-shredding statute to three rotten fish is an unconstitutional expansion of the law and a violation of statutory construction. Executive expansion of 18 U.S.C. § 1519 to include red grouper furthers the overcriminalization epidemic. Additionally, the lower courts committed reversible error when they effectively shifted the burden of proof from the government to the Petitioner on the issue of whether the fish were undersized. No reasonable jury could have convicted the Petitioner under § 2232 because the government failed to meet its burden of proof. Authors: William N. Shepherd, Holland & Knight LLP, West Palm Beach, FL; Barbara E. Bergman, Albuquerque, NM.
Yates v. United States, U.S. Sup. Ct., No. 13-7451, decision below 733 F.3d 1059 (11th Cir. 2013), brief filed 7/7/14. Overcriminalization---Overfederalization---18 U.S.C. § 1519---Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002---Executive Expansion of Criminal Law---Statutory Construction---Burden of Proof. Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers as Amici Curiae in Support of Petitioner John Yates. Argument: Petitioner's conviction under Sarbanes-Oxley exemplifies overcriminalization through an unconstitutional expansion of the law. Executive expansion of 18 U.S.C. § 1519 to include red grouper furthers the overcriminalization epidemic. Red grouper are not "tangible objects" under Sarbanes-Oxley. Even if Sarbanes-Oxley applies to fish, Yates' conduct did not impede, obstruct, or influence a federal investigation. Overcriminalization places a growing burden on the administration of justice, often resulting in ludicrous federal convictions for conduct that, traditional, falls outside constitutionally anticipated federal purview. Authors: William N. Shepherd, Holland & Knight LLP, West Palm Beach, FL; Barbara E. Bergman, Albuquerque, NM.

Sustainability practices are second nature for Manitoba.
Manitoba Harvest has expanded its corporate environmental initiatives by addressing the impact of the conventional electricity it uses. Last month it announced its commitment to offset 100% of its production facilities electricity use by purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs). Manitoba is also reducing its corporate impact by offsetting the emissions from its natural gas use with carbon offsets. These new initiatives demonstrate the importance Manitoba places on evaluating and responding to opportunities that increase its environmental corporate responsibility.
In 2008, Manitoba invested in many eco-friendly features for its state-of-the-art organic processing facility inlcuding efficient HVAC heating and cooling systems, special insulation, and lighting efficiencies. With the new green building features in place, Manitoba researched what else they could do which is when they chose to support renewable energy generation and carbon reduction facilities. These new commitments were a natural fit for an organization that has built its business around sustainable farming practices and educating the public on healthy lifestyle choices. Manitoba Harvest is in fact the largest farmer-owned hemp food manufacturer that has vertically integrated operations.
The education around and market for hemp foods continues to grow significantly. According to research from the natural products market information company, SPINS, sales of hempmilk grew 162% from 2007 to 2008. To learn more about Manitoba's products or find recipes, check out its website.
These products are rich in Omega-3 and as consumers are increasingly aware of how foods are grown and where they come from, Manitoba is well positioned to be a leader in educating the marketplace on its products and on responsible corporate sustainability. ~ Megan

The dirt on sustainable walls
High appeal for commercial, residential builders

Here's the dirt on environmentally friendly interior wall construction.
More appropriately, here's the DIRTT.
DIRTT is a sustainable, moveable-wall system developed by DIRTT Environmental Solutions, of Calgary, Alberta, and carried in the Inland Northwest by Spokane's Contract Resource Group.
Walls made by DIRTT, short for Do It Right This Time, are constructed out of some recycled materials, said Mike Iannone, a Seattle-based sales representative.
"Sheetrock wall is the antithesis of sustainability," Iannone said, citing that a large percentage of the garbage in landfills is construction debris. "This is a faster, cleaner way to build a wall."
All of DIRTT's materials are recyclable; all of the paints are water-based and low in volatile-organic compounds. The stains used on wood veneers also don't include VOCs.
The main environmental benefit is that the walls can be moved easily or taken down without requiring a trip to a landfill.
The walls have aluminum frames that can be exposed, hidden or covered with a wood veneer. Plain wall panels are available, plus wood veneer, glass, back-painted glass, whiteboard or tack board, or more.
In the Inland Northwest, DIRTT has been used in commercial projects, said Gloria Saunders, architectural products specialist at Contract Resource Group. Some projects using removeable walls include the recently renovated Grant Building in downtown Spokane; the new Community Health Association of Spokane office, in the Liberty Building downtown; and the new Panhandle State Bank building in Sandpoint, among others. DIRTT has been installed in a few downtown condominium projects.
Owner Duane Wilson contends that the flexibility afforded by the moveable walls can be beneficial to homeowners and business owners. For instance, one could create a basement playroom next to a family room. Once the children grow up, the walls could be moved to make a larger family room or exercise room.
The cost of DIRTT walls varies depending on the materials used. Iannone said a plain wall without glass or wood costs about 25 percent more than a Sheetrock wall. However, a wall with a lot of glass panels or other higher-end products will be less expensive than a conventional wall that incorporates similar materials.
"On average, we're within 10 percent of initial cost of a conventional build-out," Iannone said.
If the wall has to be taken down just once, the cost difference has been eliminated. Demolishing a Sheetrock wall is costly, whereas tearing down a DIRTT wall has little or no cost attached to it.
Contract Resource Group's professionals use a DIRTT-specific design software to build 3-D models of space with the moveable walls.
"The walls are completely customizable," Iannone said. "Architects are excited about it."
The software shows how much the wall system will cost—and recalculates the cost with each change.
Wilson said Contract Resource Group has carried DIRTT walls since fall 2005, just a few months after DIRTT was formed. He said Contract Resource Group had been looking for a new moveable wall system to carry when it came across DIRTT at a national trade show. He contacted the company and became one of its early carriers. Now, DIRTT has about 150 dealers in the U.S. and Canada. In addition to Spokane, it has dealers in Seattle, Portland and Boise now.
"With DIRTT, it brought a whole new mindset," Wilson said. "It totally changed the game."
Modular wall systems became prevalent in the 1970s, Iannone said, and furniture companies made the first generations of such products. Those early products received mixed reviews and weren't always aesthetically pleasing.
DIRTT walls were developed by construction professionals.
With the new generation of wall systems, Wilson said. "You don't have to apologize for having moveable walls now."
Founded in 1991, Contract Resource Group markets itself as a "single source of office-environment solutions." The company has had a Green element to it, Wilson said. In the early to mid-1990s, the company began buying old cubicles sets, refinishing them, and reselling them.
The company still has old cubicle systems that can be reconditioned, and it keeps the materials used for past customers to repair the reconditioned cubicles.
Wilson said the price point on newly manufactured cubicles has dropped so that they're priced competitively with the reconditioned products. Still he sees value and benefit in the environmentally friendly alternatives—as do some of the company's customers once they learn about the environmental benefits.
"Ninety percent of what we do is not selling," Wilson said. "It's educating."

Open Formats, Open Editors
E-books are currently quite a hot topic in the publishing world. Heck, for the past few months, it's been quite a hot topic here as well! Thankfully, digital publication doesn't have to mean proprietary formats and DRM-laden files.
If you want to delve into the world of e-book creation, you should check out Sigil. It's a cross-platform WYSIWYG tool for creating EPUB-format e-books. It supports images, table of contents, and all the other features that make e-books so powerful. If you have a book you want to convert into EPUB format, or if you just have a text file you'd like to add markup language to for e-readers, Sigil is a powerful tool you won't want to miss.
Download the latest version from http://code.google.com/p/sigil.

Not the Only Choice
There are Sigil packages for version 0.5.3 for various distros available. Some are official and some not, but they do exist. I doubt they will be the last versions. If anything I expect there to be more official packages available as time goes by.
The Sigil developers have probably just decided that it makes more sense for distro makers to create packages than for them to release general binaries for Linux.
Pity that Sigil seem to have
Pity that Sigil seem to have given up on Linux support, Linux users only choice for the last few releases is to build from source.
A better choice, perhaps is LibreOffice to create the masterpiece and then writer to epub plugin (writer2epub) to create the epub.
I would have thought that a better choice
now that everyone's not trying to kill javascript would be a javascript crawler to dynamically generate the indexing etc and your favourite html editor and a very small amount of active server page support.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

An African American blog of politics, culture, and social activism.
Once You Learn How to Read, You Will Be Forever Free!~Frederick Douglass
Interview and Review Harry Belafonte Actor, singer, humanitarian. Born Harold George Belafonte, Jr. on March 1, 1927 in Harlem, New York. After spending much of his childhood in his mother's native Jamaica, Belafonte returned to the U.S. and enlisted in the Navy. He then moved to New York City to become an actor, performing with the American Negro Theatre and studying drama at Erwin Piscator's Dramatic Workshop.
Belafonte's first opportunities to perform were in cabarets, which soon landed him in the recording studio where he produced pop and then folk and world music. Though he won a Tony Award in 1954 for his Broadway performance in John Murray Anderson's Almanac, it wasn't until his lead role in the film Carmen Jones that Belafonte became a bona fide star. His musical efforts benefited from his celebrity, with subsequent albums Belafonte and Calypso leaping to number one, the latter launching a nationwide craze for a form of Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad.
Belafonte's fame also enabled him to take on riskier roles on the big screen, including Island in the Sun and Odds Against Tomorrow, which explored racial boundaries. In addition, he became television's first black producer, winning an Emmy for his special Tonight with Harry Belafonte.
Though he continued to record throughout the 1960s and 1970s, his commercial glow was diminishing, and Belafonte began to put more energy into civil rights and humanitarian work. He was a leader in the USA for Africa effort in 1985, singing on the hit 1985 single "We Are the World," and he became UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador in 1986. Though frustrated with Hollywood, Belafonte continued to appear in films throughout the 1990s, including Kansas City and Swing Vote.
Belafonte was married to Marguerite Byrd until 1957; they have two daughters. He married Julie Robinson in 1957, they have a son, David, and a daughter, Gina.
REVIEW David Margolick is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, where he has worked since 1996. He covers culture and politics, and his recent subjects have included the retired generals who called for Donald Rumsfeld's resignation; profiles of both Jack Abramoff and Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor in the Valerie Plame case; and an examination of Hamas in Gaza. Prior to coming to Vanity Fair, he was the national Legal Affairs editor at the New York Times, where he wrote the weekly "At the Bar" column and covered the trials of O.J. Simpson, Lorena Bobbitt, and William Kennedy Smith.
Mr. Margolick, a graduate of the University of Michigan and Stanford Law School, is the author, most recently of Beyond Glory: Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling, and A World on the Brink, published by Knopf in 2005.

Property Name:
Old Chiswell Place
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
18125, Cattail Road, Poolesville, Montgomery County
The Old Chiswell Place is a frame, log, and brick structure built in three stages. The south wing sits at right angles to the main block of the house. The east end of the south wing is the oldest part of the house. It is a frame 1 1/2-story gable-roofed building with a stone foundation and external chimneys on either end. The facade is three bays with a central doorway. The sheathing is beaded clapboards. To the west, a one-bay log section was added. The logs are laid up with inverted "V" notches. Where the log and frame sections abut, the ends of the logs in the front and back walls are tenoned into mortises in an upright post. This section contains a fireplace on the east wall which shares a chimney with the west fireplace of the frame section. A long shed-roofed dormer window has been added to the south facade of the frame section, as the only light came from the small gable windows flanking the chimney on the east end. The second floor of the log section is completely separate from the frame section. A two-story Federal style brick section is connected by a one-story frame passageway to the north end of the frame section of the house, giving the house an off-center "T" plan. The frame passageway has a brick "square front" west facade. The brick section is of Flemish bond on the east facade, and common bond on the ends and west facade. Front and rear (east and west) facades are three bays wide. The north gable end has a flush gable chimney flanked by two small attic windows, but no other openings at all. The entrance in the south bay of the east facade has a four-light transom and paneled reveals. First floor windows on both facades are 9/6 sash and second floor are 6/6 sash. An entrance stands also in the south bay of the west facade, but lacking a transom. All window and door openings have splayed jack arches. Several domestic dependencies have survived, including a small stone shed-roofed springhouse, a log meathouse, and a small log barn or shed. The log buildings have inverted "V" notched joining and have gable roofs.
The significance of the Old Chiswell Place lies in the existence today of a community of buildings which have comprised a working farm for at least 170 years. Besides the residence, there is a meathouse of log with an attached springhouse. (The springhouse was moved from its original site by a spring and attached to the meathouse to be near a new well in the late 19th century.) There is a small log house probably used for storage with sandstone chips used between the logs. There is also an early corncrib made of frame and logs. It has the further significance of having been the home of three men distinguished in their period. George Frazier Magruder bought this farm in 1778 and moved from Prince George's County where he had been a fourth generation resident and planter, a Grand Juror as a "Loyal Civil Services" during the Revolution, and took the "Oath of Fidelity and Support" to Maryland. He later took the same oath in Montgomery County. He was a large slave-holder and a man of prominence in the community. The property was owned by William Chiswell in the early and mid 19th century. For many years he was the County Surveyor for Montgomery County. In 1836 he was one of three designated to purchase land for the County. In 1846 he was appointed to a committee to prepare a draft of a constitution for the Montgomery County Agricultural Society. In 1821 he was one of a group to withdraw from their church and found a new congregation for which he furnished land for its new building. He was a planter, attorney, and surveyor in a section of Maryland that was still frontier land.

This is a good, though exceedingly overpriced, moisturizer for dry skin. Formula-wise, this contains several helpful plant ingredients, including many antioxidants. It isn't as well-rounded as it could've been and it would've been better without the fragrance ingredients (including jasmine and hibiscus) known to cause irritation, but it covers most of the bases in terms of moisturizing skin and helping it defend itself from oxidative damage. The problem remains the jar packaging; this type of packaging means that from the first use, all the light- and air-sensitive natural ingredients this contains will begin breaking down. What a shame!
As for the prebiotics and probiotics being able to strengthen skin against aging, there is no proof they have such an effect when applied topically. One more comment: Nude Skincare claims this product is 100% natural but that's misleading. Although lots of cosmetic ingredients can be sourced from plants, the process that turns a palm frond into glyceryl stearate citrate isn't natural in the least.
A clinically advanced antiaging moisturizer that helps repair surface cellular damage and supports natural surface cellular renewal.

United Kingdom–based Nude Skincare has made quite a splash in that part of the world. It was founded by "eco-entrepreneur" Bryan Meehan, owner of the U.K.'s Fresh and Wild organic grocery stores (their American parent company is Whole Foods). Now, in addition to selling healthy foods, he mixes them into cosmetics and sells them as well, which was a natural (pun intended) next step for Meehan. After all, it was only a matter of time before he noticed and took advantage of the fact that natural skin-care products sell well in health food stores, just as major grocery stores sell mass-market product lines. Thus, Nude Skincare was born, and according to Meehan, Nude Skincare is "the first luxury skincare line that is free from the chemicals your body would rather avoid." Regrettably, the only luxurious parts of Nude Skincare products are the prices.
The endless parade of natural or organic product lines and their endless claims of how pure and healthy their products are is exhausting and more fiction than fact. Much like antiwrinkle and anti-aging claims, the hype and misleading information about natural ingredients appear time and time again. It is important to reiterate that there are good and bad ingredients in both the natural and the synthetic realms. Plus, labeling something "natural" doesn't mean it is. But of course that didn't stop Nude Skincare, a company that claims to be all natural, but isn't. Regardless, this line claims to be all you need for skin, which isn't true either.
One look at Nude Skincare products' ingredient lists make it abundantly clear that the ingredients in their products are not all natural. Like many cosmetics companies, Nude Skincare attempts to get around the synthetic aspects of their ingredients by putting the natural source of their chemical-sounding ingredients in parenthesis. Describing dicaprylyl ether or lauryl alcohol as coming from coconut doesn't mean you can take that ingredient and make a piña colada; those ingredients are not found in nature. We're not saying that those ingredients are bad for skin, but misleading claims don't add up to good skin care; what counts is what works on your skin. Of course, plants have a place in skin care, but they also have drawbacks, although the latter fact seems to fall on deaf ears among those converted to natural and among those fear mongers who love to make women afraid of anything synthetic. Ironically, however, Nude Skincare also includes several natural ingredients that, unfortunately, have published, peer-reviewed research showing that our skin is better off without them!
Other than the high prices and the sleek, modern packaging, one aspect of this brand that has captured consumer and media attention is the claim that Nude Skincare products contain prebiotics and probiotics (i.e., microorganisms) designed to normalize the microflora of skin. In a cosmetic, neither the prebiotics nor the probiotics will stay alive and they must be alive to have any impact, at least that's the case when they are digested (i.e., yoghurt has live strains of bacteria). What is more significant is the limited research showing that topical application of bacteria strains has any effect on skin, for better or worse. Nude Skincare claims they have conducted clinical trials that show these products were highly successful, but we were told they weren't available for review. The company wouldn't send us any information to verify their study, so we have no way of knowing the details of their clinical tests.
What we know so far (again, from limited research) is that topical application may reduce skin inflammation brought on by immune system disorders and help skin grafts on burned areas heal faster, but that was sourced from living strains, not applied in a cosmetic skin-care product (Sources: International Wound Journal, February 2009, pages 73–81; and Der Hautarzt, Epublication, August 6, 2006).

I would guess the same thing. If the player signs a contract he is not guaranteed anything. In fact if he does not have a "no-movement" clause he is not guaranteed to even stay on that team for the length of the contract. It would be dumb if this was the case, I mean, yeah..sure Gomez is not playing, but he is still getting paid. He is to do what his team needs him to do and right now it is to sit on a couch. He can still workout and so on.
An interesting question would be what happens if he gets injured while eating pancakes? HMMmmm plot thickens.

How do you get investors to sit up and take notice of a soon-to-be spun-off stock? If you're Kraft Foods, which will spin off its slow-growth North American grocery business to shareholders on Oct. 1, you pay a big dividend.

That's the highest yield among major food companies—most are in the 3% range—and is in line with the dividend rate on utilities and other traditional income sectors of the stock market.
Thanks to its high dividend, new Kraft most likely will have one of the highest valuations in the food group, trading for more than 17 times projected 2013 profits, compared with 14 to 16 times earnings for the likes of Campbell Soup cpb 0.5675368898978433% Campbell Soup Co.

With its lofty price/earnings ratio, new Kraft doesn't look as appetizing as its rivals. Kraft's payout ratio will be much higher than its food peers, which could limit dividend increases in coming years. It may be better to buy shares of Kellogg or General Mills—both yield about 3.3% and have a lower P/E and better dividend-growth prospects.
If its high valuation persists, Kraft could attract imitators in the food industry, as companies figure they can boost their share prices with an ample dividend. Consumer-staples producers tend to pay out about half their earnings in dividends, while new Kraft's payout ratio will be nearly 80%, based on projected 2013 profits.
New Kraft's dividend looks safe, thanks to the stability of its well-known brands, which help give the stock its bond-like 4.5% yield at a time when 10-year Treasury notes yield under 2% and Kraft's own 10-year debt yields less than 3%.

New Kraft's portfolio includes some familiar American products like Jell-O, Kool-Aid, Velveeta, Planters, Oscar Mayer, Kraft macaroni and cheese, and Kraft refrigerated cheeses. Until Tuesday, new Kraft will trade in a when-issued market with the ticker KRFTV, and Mondeléz as MDLZV. Old Kraft shares will stop trading after the split.
Mondeléz will have a more modest dividend, around 2%. In an indication of the importance of dividends in a yield-parched environment, Mondeléz has a P/E ratio similar to new Kraft's, despite a stronger growth outlook. Mondeléz looks more appealing than new Kraft.
Kraft announced the split a year ago, as a way to highlight its high-growth snacks business, following its controversial $20 billion purchase of Cadbury in 2010, a deal that angered Kraft's most prominent shareholder, Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway brka -0.6166593981683384% Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Cl A U.S.: NYSE USD227886 -1414 -0.6166593981683384% /Date(1419026477507-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 416 AFTER HOURS USD227886.0043 0.00430000000051223 0.0000018869083664639337% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4 P/E Ratio 18.09049773755656 Market Cap 373887955907.203 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 640606 More quote details and news » (BRK.A). Buffett felt Kraft overpaid, and he criticized Kraft's tax-inefficient move to sell a pizza business to fund the Cadbury deal. Berkshire has steadily sold Kraft shares. It had 59 million as of June 30, versus 130 million at the end of 2009.
Cadbury is an important part of Mondeléz, a made-up word that suggests the French word "monde," or world, overlapping "deléz," which Kraft calls a "fanciful expression" of the word "delicious."
Kraft holders will get one share of new Kraft for every three shares of old Kraft, and the old Kraft will be rechristened Mondeléz. In when-issued trading Friday, Mondeléz fetched about $26 a share and new Kraft, $45. Old Kraft traded Friday at around $41, equivalent to the value of one share of Mondeléz and one-third of a share of new Kraft.
In investor presentations recently, managements of new Kraft and Mondeléz disappointed Wall Street by projecting a lower-than-expected 2013 profit, but the positive surprise was Kraft's intended annual dividend of $2 a share. Kraft shares initially dropped on the earnings guidance, but have since recouped those losses, mostly because investors are assigning a higher-than-expected value to new Kraft, based on its lofty dividend.
New Kraft expects profit of $2.60 a share, and Mondeléz projects $1.50 to $1.55 for 2013. New Kraft and Mondeléz both fetch around 17 times 2013 estimates.
Mondeléz is targeting 5% to 7% organic annual revenue growth and double-digit gains in profit (excluding the impact of foreign-exchange moves). New Kraft is aiming for more modest "mid to high" single-digit annual earnings gains. Mondeléz's ambition is to be viewed like higher-growth consumer companies, such as Coca-Cola ko -1.0379806558150506% Coca-Cola Co.

Kraft bulls like Robert Moskow of Credit Suisse like the Mondeléz story, arguing that next year's profits could be held back by a couple of special factors, including currency, and that Mondeléz's profits could rise sharply in 2014 to $1.80 a share. Joe Cornell of Spin-Off Research last week assigned a Buy rating to Mondeléz, with a $29.50 price target, about 12% above the when-issued share price. He has a Hold rating on New Kraft, with a target of $44.25.
The Bottom Line
With a 4.5% dividend yield, new Kraft's stock is more alluring for income investors than its bonds. But the better bet is Mondeléz, because of its growth potential.
Mondeléz gets 44% of its sales from high-growth developing markets, a percentage comparable to both Coke's and Nestlé's nesn.vx 0.7612456747404844% Nestle S.A.

Mondeléz is No. 1 globally in sales of cookies and crackers, chocolate, and candy. Current Kraft CEO Irene Rosenfeld will head Mondeléz.
In a surprising admission, Kraft's management said earlier this month that it was overly bureaucratic, had high costs, produced little innovation, and had skimped on advertising, which is important to sustaining even well-known brands. The company's last big new product was Lunchables, launched in 1988. Kraft spent 2.9% of its revenue on ads last year, versus an industry average of 4.5% and well behind leader Kellogg's 8.6%. "We must do a better job supporting our brands," Kraft declared.
KRAFT HIGHLIGHTED ITS weaknesses to emphasize the opportunity to boost its sales and operating margin, which stands at 17.1%. That's in the middle of the pack of North American food companies, but below General Mills, Heinz, and Campbell. Kraft may find it hard to raise margins while ramping up ad spending.
Other food makers face challenges, too. General Mills missed the Greek-yogurt boom, and its key Yoplait brand is suffering. The cereal business is stagnant, weighing on both General Mills and Kellogg. Campbell faces one of the toughest jobs—revitalizing its core canned-soup business.

There isn't a lot to excite investors about new Kraft except its dividend, and Kellogg, General Mills, and Heinz may offer a better combination of yield and valuation. But for growth-oriented investors, Mondeléz could be a tastier alternative to PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, and Colgate.

The Boilers and Hoosiers both came out of the weekend with victories against Michigan and Minnesota. They're tied in the Big Ten rankings, but only the Hoosiers are included in the Top 25 at #18. Purdue and IU close out the season against each other at Assembly Hall on Saturday night at 6PM, but not before they each play one last home Big Ten game.
IU faces Michigan State tomorrow night and will be looking to bounce back from the pounding they took back in December when Michigan State dealt the Hoosiers their first loss (80-65). State is ranked #5 in the nation and embarrassed Nebraska over the weekend by almost 30 points. The Hoosiers are one of the best shooting teams in the nation, but they're getting killed on the boards (ranked 152nd in the nation in rebounds per game). Indiana will have to shoot lights out or manage to step up their rebounding game to get the best of the 19th best rebounding team in the nation.
The Boilermakers play Penn State on Leap Day. The Nittany Lions have had a pretty rough season, but anyone that has watched a couple of Purdue games this season know that you never know which team is going to show up. Will it be the team that handled Michigan last week or the team that was completely outmatched by Michigan State a couple of weeks ago? All signs point to Purdue beating Penn State and a decent chance for Saturday's game at Assembly Hall ending up a classic.
The NBA All-Star game occurred this weekend and that's about all that needs to be said of it (the West won and Paul George had some cool dunks but didn't win the dunk contest). The All-Star break is normally at around the 2/3 point during the season, but the shortened season has allowed it to be the actual half-way point. Miami and Chicago are running away with the Eastern Conference and the Pacers 5.5 games off the top in 3rd. Avoiding losing streaks like they did during the first half of the season should put them in the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row.
The best of the rest:

Mr. Basketball:
Our Mission:
It is our goal to provide a system that will enhance both the academic and athletic success of the
athletes and promote opportunities beyond athletics, as well as a physical support in the community
that will enhance the overall success of the student-athlete.
Our volunteer group has determined that the universal language of athletic competition bridges racial,
religous, and cultural barriers and when properly harnessed, instills hope and self-esteem.
The HAWKS "Mentor" philosophy is a key factor in instilling hope and self-esteem, which motivates our
young people to become serious academically, socially responsible, and substance free. Each HAWKS player
must maintain a 2.0 GPA in order to compete in our organization. Discipline, good behavior, and hard work
are expected on and off the court.
We accept athletes based on character, commitment and athletic ability. No consideration is
given to racial, religious, or cultural status. We target the athlete who desires to compete in
high school and college. One of our goals is to send a "complete athlete" to college and get
back a graduated solid citizen who will continue the tradition. We will teach the kids to be
winners, not just in the game of basketball, but also the game of life.
In order to meet our commitment to excellence in service, every effort is made to recruit
volunteers who are positive role models and accept the premise that winning is a result not a reason.

Career in Law
(Source : Employment News (Weekly), May, 2011)
Legal profession is a fast growing profession. In these days of globalization and liberalization, it is likely to get further momentum as more lawyers would be required to handle cases arising out of international trade as result of growing importance of WTO. At present there are more than 5, 00, 000 advocates in India and the number is swelling with 15, 000 new enrolments every year. Lawyer are held in high esteem in a civil society as they render valuable service to all segments of the society by getting their legal and constitutional rights enforced through courts-civil or criminal, that is Trial Court, High Court, Supreme Court or Quasi-Judicial Institutions. Persons holding law degree or other higher legal qualifications have ample employment opportunities in private as well as public sector. It is their choice whether they opt for service or prefer to practice a lawyer.
Legal Practitioner / Advocate / Legal Advisor
Lawyers can work as legal counsel or legal advisors for corporate sector, firms, organizations, legal persons, individuals and families. They can work as trustees of various trusts, as teachers, law reporters, company secretaries and so on. Additional law qualification along with other degrees offers scope for a wide range of employment opportunities. One who desires to become an advocate and practice law as a profession in India must have obtained basic law degree. He/She should get enrolled himself/herself in State Central Bar Council as per provisions contained in the Advocates Act, 1961. Besides he/she is also required to qualify in the entry test introduced recently by Bar Council of India failing which no one shall be enrolled as an advocate. An application for admission as an advocate shall be made in the prescribed form to the State Bar Council within whose jurisdiction the applicant proposes to practice.
Government Service
Persons possessing requisite qualifications are recruited for Indian legal service against various posts- Legal advisors in Department of Legal Affairs and Legislative Counsel in Legislative Department. These officers can reach to the level of Secretary to the Government of India with the passage of time according to their suitability. Likewise, Legislative Counsels are also appointed in official languages Wing of the Legislative Department for Hindi and regional languages (Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu). At the State level, too, officers with legal qualifications and professional qualifications are appointed against similar posts. However, designations may vary from state to state. Besides, Law Officers / Legal Advisors are appointed in almost all the ministries / departments / undertakings of the Government of India and State Governments.
All these posts are generally filled up by recruitment through UPSC and State Public Service Commissions on regular / deputation basis. Basic qualification for all these posts is a degree in law, besides a degree in Arts / Science / Commerce etc. and professional experience as per the requirements of each post. In addition to that members of Law Commission, Govt. Advocates, public prosecutors, solicitors, Attorney General, Notaries and Oath Commissioners as also legal secretaries in assemblies , staff in higher/lower judiciary / Quasi Judicial Institutions, Judicial members in CAT, Income tax, Sales tax, Excise and other tribunals are also appointed as per rules as and when the vacancies occur. However, fresh Law Graduates are appointed against non-gazetted posts generally equivalent to the post of Assistant in the Secretariat, such as Legal Assistants, Legal / Judicial Translators etc.
They are also recruited as commissioned officers in the legal branches of Indian Army, Navy and Air force. They conduct courts of enquiry and court martial of erring service personnel as per law.
In the Judiciary, the lowest judicial cadre posts of Magistrate/Munsif or Sub-Judge are filled up by recruitment through public service commissions or otherwise under the supervision of the High Court. Basic qualification for all these posts is a degree in law(professional), besides a degree in Arts / Science / Commerce etc. and the age limit for all these posts is generally 35 years which relaxable for special categories as per rules. A magistrate presides over criminal court and a Munisf/Sub-judge deals with civil cases. These officers can become District and Sessions Judge by promotion and also be elevated to the office of Judge of the High Court and the Supreme Court subject to their seniority and suitability. Earlier District and Sessions Judges were promoted from those in service/ selected from amongst practicing lawyers but now in most of the states they are being recruited through competitive examination conducted by State commissions / High Courts.
Those with good academic record, particularly holding L.L.M, Ph.D degrees or published work of high standard, can take up job in any University or Institute offering law courses to students. There is a wide scope for visiting professors as universities are coming up in large number and they prefer such persons because of their eminence and acumen.
Writing / Editing Law Books / Journals / Reports
If one is familiar with the complexities of law and procedure and is in a position to understand the intricacies of case law and has a flair for writing he/she is fit to be an author of law books / legal commentaries and a proper person to bring out law reports, produce law journals, take up all other journalistic assignments and compile law lexicons.
Legal Outsourcing
Legal Outsourcing refer to the practice of a law firm obtaining legal services from an outside law firm. The practice is, however, known as offshoring when the outsourced entity is based in another country. According to a report, India has huge potential in legal outsourcing, with the number of jobs increasing in the field to 79, 000 by 2015, a study has said. The field of legal outsourcing was largely untapped. At present the number of jobs in legal outsourcing in India stood less than 12, 000. The most important challenges to the legal outsourcing included concerns about data security, conflict of interest and the need for Indian lawyers to pass foreign bar examinations.
As regards remuneration, it depends upon the field a law graduate chooses. If one gets a job in a Govt. department, or in public sector, or in a university or in any other organization where govt. rules are applicable he/she will be entitled to get emoluments as per pay scales prescribed by the Government from time to time. After acceptance of recommendations of 6th Pay Commission, Govt. servants are getting handsome salary, say between Rs. 20, 000 and one lakh and above depending on the designation and nature of job. Now multinational companies and law firms have also started campus selections and have been offering annual packages between three and four lakhs as per the standing of the company. However, those who start practice of their own have to struggle in the early stage but their constant efforts may help them in reaching any heights and the sky is the limit. Besides , law reporters, legal journalists, authors, writers and editors associated with reputed publications as also freelancers have good earning.
Course Details
One can either pursue a three-year law course (LLB) after graduation in any discipline or a five-year course after twelfth standard examinations, leading to a B.A.; LLB (Hons) degree Admission to LLB is generally based on percentage of marks scored at graduation level. However, some Universities/Institutions like National Law Schools conduct entrance tests, too. The B.A. LL.B programme usually covers practical training including court attendance, participation in mock court proceedings, seminars, symposiums, conferences on legal subjects / hands on training at legal aid centers and research projects. In addition to LLB degree, many universities and institutes also offers other diploma courses in several disciplines of law. P.G.

Snow day!
I'm so cold! It snowed major last night, and I was stuck at work just watching it fall down around all the cars in the parking lot until 10... but we have no school! I guess that's a plus. I really don't like the snow much, unless I'm skiing. Well, it does give me time to write my position papers (which I am precrasitnating from right now...) Oh well! I have a real urge to sit down and play a game of Monopoly. Maybe Nessa can walk over here and play a round of Monopoly with me. I would asks my bro's but Jimmy cheets and John has no idea how to play. That was random. I concluded that my brain has frozen along with my body.

My Floral Blazer On Sartorialist
Labels: fashion, my style, Outfits, style spotted
I blogged about this floral blazer twice on this blog. Check out the posts here and here (all the outfit details are there). And lo and behold it has been featured on The Sartorialist. Hey, if he finds it visually appealing enough, who am I to complain.
I got the tear drop tights from Romwe, you can buy it here. It's back in stock, guys! I know many of you wanted it but, it was all sold out. Grab a pair fast!

Hot Tubs Spa Portable Spa Arthritis Health Benefits
Hot Tubs Portable Spa Arthritis Benefits
One in three Americans or 70 million people has some form of arthritis. There are over 100 different kinds of arthritis and most are characterized by inflammation of the joints causing swelling, pain and stiffness, often resulting in loss of joint movement or function. These are the types of arthritis that can really be helped through the use of hot tubs and spas.
Many people affected by arthritis have turned to hot tubs to seek relief through soaking in the warm, soothing hot tub waters. Hot tubs provide the warmth, massage, safety and buoyancy required to relax or exercise joints and muscles right in the convenience and comfort of your own backyard. Relaxed muscles create an overall enhanced feeling of comfort which can then make it easier for the body to perform exercises and carry out daily tasks. The Arthritis Foundation recommends that warm water exercise in a swim spa will keep joints moving, improve coordination & endurance, restore and preserve flexibility & strength, and protect joints against further damage. The Arthritis Foundation also provides a useful guide for purchasing a hot tub.
If you know someone who is affected by the pain and discomfort of arthritis, hot tubs might bring the relief they need. Hottubs are the ultimate way to soothe stiff, sore muscles and joints through relaxing Hydrotherapy hot tub jets.

Concealed Carry...as a nurse?
- 0Jan 29, '13 by mcknisWith the current news over gun control and gun rights legislation being pushed through Congress as a result of the tragedies of Aurora, CO, Newtown, CT and the others like them, the thought of concealed carry among healthcare workers has got my attention peaked. Recently, another Allnurses member started a thread (up to 22 pages presently) about what nurses can do as a result of these horrific events.
This post is not meant to reflect my personal stance on this issue, although I can inform that I am not a CCL holder (however interested), nor is it meant to be a bashing session from either side, but I am interested in seeing how many individuals have their concealed carry license, and if they carry while they are at work (and, yes I am well aware of the legal stance healthcare facilities take as being gun free zones)?
I, also, am aware of some of our members being both nurses and current/former law enforcement officers, so what is your take on this issue?
- 11Jan 29, '13 by classicdame Guideour facility has a policy against carrrying weapons, regardless of whether or not the individual is licensed to do so. Exceptions are law enforcement officers.
- 13Jan 29, '13 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorQuote from classicdameSame here.our facility has a policy against carrrying weapons, regardless of whether or not the individual is licensed to do so. Exceptions are law enforcement officers.
But even if it were allowed, I wouldn't bring a firearm to work. IMO to bring a gun into a psychiatric facility is too much of a liability.
- 14Jan 29, '13 by macawakeTo me there would be something seriously awry with a world where a nurse or a physician in a civilian setting carries a gun at work. Besides, it would weigh down my scrub pants and completely ruin my flattering attire My opinion is leave the "law-enforcing" to the law enforcement officers.
- 11Jan 29, '13 by dh07RNDepends on where you live I guess. I carry one in the car or in my coat pocket, but I don't carry when I go to work. To each their own.
- 15Jan 29, '13 by AngelfireRNI have my CC permit. I keep Bessie in the car. She goes to work with me (at a clinic) and has been known to make an appearance when there's a threat against myself, my staff, or others, during which time she sat on my desk, out of range of patients. The rest of the time she stays in the car.
My boss is fully on board and supportive. When you do pain management, you can't be too careful.
ETA: I always carried Bessie, in the car, even when I worked hospital. Management knew, and no one ever said boo about it.
- 7Jan 29, '13 by AngelfireRNI live in Alabama. Was your guess right?
- 8Jan 30, '13 by ChristineNI did not vote as my choice is not there. I do not have a concealed carry, but am completely supportive of those that do. However, I am supportive of there being restrictions on the places you can "carry" (ie hospitals). I do think our security guards need more than just billy clubs though...
