Move this to the top of your to-do list: Call clients to arrange a digital audit so that together you can plan for all their passwords, online accounts and digital property
James D. Lamm is a principal at Gray Plant Mooty in Minneapolis.
The need to deal with passwords and digital property at death is coming at us faster than we may think.
According to recent surveys in the United States by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, three-fourths of adults use the Internet — most buy things online and do some of their banking on the Internet.1 But, since 2005, it's the people aged 70 and older who've increased their use of the Internet more than any other age group surveyed.2
Ideally, then, advisors will help clients prepare a written or electronic list of accounts, passwords and other information about their digital lives to ensure a smooth and efficient process in the event of incapacity or death.
If this has not been done and someone has died or become incapacitated, here are the main categories of digital property in today's world, along with suggestions on how to locate and access them — as well as how to prioritize which digital property needs urgent attention.
With other, traditional forms of property (real estate, stocks and bonds, bank accounts, life insurance, vehicles, personal property, etc.), there are well-established procedures and processes to locate it, identify value and transfer control or ownership. But there are significant differences with digital property, especially with Internet accounts and encrypted electronic data. Indeed, failure to plan can make it practically impossible to locate and access certain types of digital property.
So, let's get started.
What Is It?
Digital property includes data, Internet accounts and other rights in the digital world, including contractual rights and intellectual property rights.
Data are the files and information stored and used by computers (such as e-mails, word processing documents, spreadsheets, pictures, audio files and movies). This data may be stored locally on a computer's hard drive or on removable media, or data may be stored remotely and accessed over the Internet.
Internet accounts are governed by contracts between an individual and a service provider, such as e-mail accounts, accounts at financial institutions, accounts on shopping Web sites, Web page or blog hosting accounts, social networking accounts, registered domain names, and online video game and virtual world accounts.
Intellectual property (IP) rights also can exist in digital property, such as pictures, music, movies, literary works, Web pages, computer code and other creative works.
When family members, fiduciaries and advisors begin to deal with an individual's incapacity or death, they traditionally start by reading the individual's mail and sorting through the records at the person's home, including the checkbook register, bank and brokerage account statements, credit card bills, utility bills, medical bills, loan statements, tax returns and similar documents.
But today, many bills can arrive by e-mail and be paid online or by telephone. Intuit's Quicken software and Microsoft's Money software can replace a paper checkbook and track other financial records. And these software packages are rapidly being replaced by personal finance Web sites like Mint.com. Banks also offer these features on their Web sites.
Tax returns can be filed electronically. File cabinets with paper records can be replaced by scanning documents into a computer for storage. The paper trails we rely upon to reconstruct an individual's financial world are moving into the digital world, and locating and accessing this information may be necessary to deal with incapacity or death.
In the best-case scenario, the individual has planned ahead and provided a list of accounts, passwords and other key information about the individual's digital property. So, our first step must be to look for a written list. Many people keep passwords scribbled on sticky notes plastered on the computer. Of course, it's far better to keep a written list in a sealed envelope stored along with an individual's power of attorney, health care directive, will and other important papers. But even a sealed envelope creates a security and privacy risk. So, also look for a written list in a safe deposit box or in the file of the individual's attorney or other key advisors. The main drawback of a written list, especially if kept in a safe deposit box or advisor's file, is that it is more difficult to update and keep current.
An individual also can keep track of accounts and passwords electronically by using software on a computer, smartphone or PDA or by using a service on the Internet. With an electronic list, a single password can unlock a database of accounts, passwords and other key information. From a planning perspective, an electronic list is more secure and more likely to be kept current than a written list. As an added convenience, some software programs can automatically enter the user name and password for Internet accounts, which makes using separate, secure passwords for each Internet account almost effortless. In an August 2008 survey, the most popular computer software password managers were KeePass, 1Password, RoboForm, LastPass and PasswordSafe.3 There are also Internet-based services that manage accounts and passwords, such as Clipperz and PassPack.4
New Internet-based services (such as AssetLock, Legacy Locker and Deathswitch) are designed specifically for passing on a list of accounts, passwords, locations of key documents, final wishes and messages to family members and friends upon incapacity or death.5 AssetLock also can store electronic copies of a power of attorney, health care directive, will, trust, deed, insurance policy and other important documents. For AssetLock and Legacy Locker, the individual selects key people who can unlock this information at the appropriate time. Deathswitch takes a proactive approach — they contact the individual on a regular basis to make sure the individual is still alive and not incapacitated, and, if there is no response within the prearranged time limit, they send an automatic e-mail message with the individual's important information to designated family members, fiduciaries and advisors.
If the individual has not provided a list of all the accounts, passwords and other key information about digital property, dealing with the individual's incapacity or death becomes more difficult. Locating and accessing the individual's computer, data storage and e-mail accounts are the next steps, and the information they contain may unlock the doors to the individual's other data and Internet accounts.
Computers, Data Storage
Generally, locating an individual's home or office computer is not a difficult task, and it is a good starting point for finding the data and online account information. If the person does not own a computer, he may use a shared computer at an apartment building, assisted living facility or nursing home, public library or local Internet café. The next step is locating where the individual's data is stored.
A computer's internal and external hard disk drives are the first places to look for data and information about Internet accounts. Removable media and remote storage accessed over the Internet are just as important to locate but can be much more difficult to find. Look for CDs, DVDs, flash memory cards and drives, floppy disks, tapes and other removable media stored near the individual's computer. Also look for removable media stored in a safe or safe deposit box. One challenge in locating removable media is that it keeps getting smaller with advances in technology. Currently, the smallest removable media by physical size is a microSD card measuring one millimeter thick and less than one-third of the size of a U.S. first-class postage stamp.6 Remote storage over the Internet, on the other hand, has no physical presence in the individual's home. Remote storage may be practically impossible to find unless the name of the service provider is known and the individual's account name and password are known. Three of the most popular free remote storage services are MediaFire, Microsoft's Windows Live SkyDrive and Box.net.7
These remote storage services are typically used for disaster-proof backups or as a primary storage location for people who travel frequently or use multiple computers. If a person's hard drive is encrypted and not accessible, look for backups locally or remotely that might not be encrypted.
After the data is located, the next challenge is accessing it. Computers and data may be protected with power-on passwords, user account passwords, encrypted storage devices, and password-protected or encrypted data files. These protection methods can prevent family members, fiduciaries and advisors from easily accessing the computer or the data. Elcomsoft and other companies sell software programs that attempt to access password-protected Quicken data, unlock encrypted data files and archives, and reveal passwords for Internet accounts previously accessed from an individual's computer.8 A computer consultant who specializes in data recovery or computer forensics can identify which protection methods can be bypassed and which are practically impossible to circumvent.
E-Mail Accounts
Gaining access to an individual's e-mail account can be the gateway to accessing the individual's other online accounts and important information. An e-mail account and e-mail address book can hold contact information for family members and friends, and it can be a convenient way to inform them of an individual's incapacity or death. The individual's e-mail account may have information about other Internet accounts the individual has, and the e-mail account can be the key to unlocking those.
Most Internet accounts have a system for recovering a lost password, and these systems often work by sending to the individual's primary e-mail account the lost password, a hint for remembering the lost password, or a link to click that will reset the password.
In addition, because many bills can now be delivered by e-mail instead of by regular mail, it's important to check e-mail accounts early and often for billing statements.
Finally, an e-mail account may contain correspondence that has personal value to family members and friends, even if it does not have any financial value.
An individual may have multiple e-mail accounts through his Internet service provider (for example, a cable company, phone company, etc.), an employer or an Internet service. These accounts are usually easy to identify by talking to family members and friends who corresponded with the individual. But the password to access the account can be difficult to recover.
Generally, for an e-mail account obtained through the individual's Internet service provider, a phone call from the appropriate family member or fiduciary should be all that is needed to reset the password to the e-mail account.9 The individual's employer may allow family members or fiduciaries access to e-mails in the individual's account, but that employer may claim ownership of e-mails stored on their servers and may not grant full access because of privacy or security concerns for the business.
Access to an individual's e-mails from a free online e-mail account may be significantly more difficult to obtain without the password. The three most popular free online e-mail services are Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail and Google's Gmail.10 If the password is known, it's important to access free online e-mails accounts within a short time after the individual's incapacity or death because each of these services deletes the e-mails if the account is not accessed for four to nine months and deletes the account if it is not accessed for eight to 12 months.11
If the password is lost, Microsoft's policy is not to reset the e-mail account password or grant access to a decedent's account, but the company will provide the contents of the account on a CD after being provided appropriate documentation of the individual's death.12
Google also will allow access to the contents of a decedent's e-mail account on its Gmail service after being supplied appropriate documentation.13
But, take note, Yahoo! will not allow access to a decedent's e-mail account without a court order, citing privacy reasons.14 In a 2005 case that attracted national attention, Yahoo! honored a Michigan probate court's order to turn over e-mails from the account of a deceased Marine killed in Iraq.15 A detailed discussion of the copyright and property law issues regarding e-mail can be found in the Winter 2007 issue of New York University's Journal of Legislation and Public Policy.16
After an individual dies, at some point the e-mail account must be closed. An e-mail account through an Internet service provider typically lasts as long as the Internet service is continued. An employer will likely close an employee's e-mail account shortly after death or other termination of employment. The contracts governing Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail and Google's Gmail indicate that these free online e-mail accounts are non-transferable, so the accounts cannot be left to family members or friends.17
If the e-mail account can be accessed, it can be used to notify family members, friends, and others that the account is being closed and provide new contact information for the family members or fiduciaries. Before closing the account, it is also important to identify bills and other communications that are being delivered by e-mail only and to change the delivery method to regular mail or to another e-mail account.
Finally, make sure to change the e-mail address that is listed on the individual's other Internet accounts — or close accounts that reference the e-mail address that will be closed — to prevent fraud or unauthorized access to those accounts.
Financial Info and Accounts
The next step in dealing with an individual's incapacity or death is to locate information about the person's financial world. In the digital world, Intuit's Quicken and Microsoft's Money are the two leading personal financial software programs, and they are a good place to start looking for information about an individual's assets and liabilities.18 Tax return software, such as TurboTax, TaxCut and Tax Act, as well as electronic copies of tax returns, are excellent sources of an individual's financial information.
Not only banks, but also brokerage firms, credit cards, lenders and other billers increasingly are offering Internet accounts that can be used to check balances, pay bills and review statements. After these financial accounts are identified, Internet access to the accounts may be convenient for family members and fiduciaries, but Internet access is not necessary. Instead of obtaining Internet access to financial accounts when an individual becomes incapacitated or dies, the appropriate fiduciary instead can contact the financial companies in person or by mail to arrange for convenient access to statements, to authorize control or transfer of assets, and to pay for liabilities. It is also important to check on automatic deposits and bill payments as soon as possible and stop automatic transactions, if necessary.
To prevent fraud or unauthorized access, it may be prudent to change the individual's passwords to the Internet accounts or shut off Internet access to those accounts entirely.
Online Sales Accounts
Another time-sensitive task is locating information about the individual's online sales activities. Whether the individual runs an online sales business or just sells an occasional personal item, online sales may be in process when an individual becomes incapacitated or dies. Monitor the individual's e-mail accounts and text messages for announcements about sales transactions.
The individual may operate an online business selling goods or services. That business may have a dedicated Web page or a virtual storefront on Ebay, Amazon or other Internet services. The business may have employees, suppliers, customers, income and expenses that need urgent attention to avoid breaches of contracts. Timely access to the Internet accounts may be critical to keep the business operating smoothly. If a business entity owns the online accounts, the appropriate business representative should contact the Internet services to gain access to accounts or to reset passwords. If it is a sole proprietorship or the individual owns the online accounts outside of the business, the appropriate fiduciary should contact the Internet services to gain access or reset passwords. Like any other business, the appropriate representatives should consider whether the business should be continued, sold or shut down. Even if the business is run completely by the individual and only has an Internet storefront, it may need to be listed as a guardianship, conservatorship, probate or revocable trust asset and listed on an estate tax return if a return is necessary.
Many individuals buy and sell occasional personal items at an online auction site like Ebay or an online classified ad site like Craigslist.19 These transactions also may require time-sensitive actions and responses to avoid a breach of contract, which makes planning for access to these online sales accounts critical. Existing offers to sell items may need to be cancelled in light of an individual's incapacity or death, especially if necessary to comply with guardianship, conservatorship or probate laws and procedures. With online sales, the purchase price for the sale may be transmitted from the buyer to the seller using another Internet service like PayPal.20 Even if there are no items currently listed for sale, it's important to check whether the individual has a balance in his PayPal account or accounts at similar online payment services that may need to be listed as a guardianship, conservatorship, probate or revocable trust asset and listed on an estate tax return if a return is necessary.
Web Pages and Blogs
An individual may operate one or more Web pages or blogs. As most people know by now, a blog is a personal or business Web page with individual postings of news items, reviews or personal comments about a particular topic. For example, Politico is a blog with frequent updates about Washington politics.21
The content on personal Web pages and blogs may have personal value to family members and friends. Most of this content is available to anyone over the Internet, as long as the Web page or blog hosting agreement remains in force and the fees for hosting, if any, are paid. As with other Internet accounts, whether the passwords to update the content of these personal Web pages and blogs can be reset and whether the accounts can be transferred depends on the hosting company's terms of use agreement.
Personal Web pages and blogs can generate revenue, which can make them valuable assets. These sites may generate revenue by selling advertisements on their pages; this revenue is typically based on the volume of unique visitors and the number of pages that they view. Some advertisers pay only for the actual number of times a visitor clicks on the advertisement link, regardless of how many visitors see the ad. In other words, an individual's personal blog that describes his experiences on a driving trip to Florida with his parents and two younger brothers, even though it may contain a humorous anecdote or two, is probably not going to generate a large number of unique visitors or page views. Personal Web pages and blogs probably will not generate significant advertisement revenue.
On the other hand, highly popular Web pages and blogs can be very valuable. Celebrity gossip Perez Hilton runs a blog that has an estimated 5.5 million unique visitors per month, a volume estimated to generate advertising revenues of $8.8 million per year.22 His blog is worth an estimated $32 million in 2009 — which is down by about 50 percent from last year because of the depressed economy's impact on advertisement spending.23 Yet, of course, without Perez Hilton, the blog may be worthless.24
If an individual is critically ill or incapacitated, the individual's Web page or blog may be a convenient way to inform family members and friends of the individual's status and progress. If the individual does not already have a Web page or blog that would be suitable for this purpose, CaringBridge is a non-profit Web service that allows family members to post updates about an individual's critical illness and allows friends and family members to reply with messages of care and support.25 According to their Web site, more than 30 million people have visited their site in the past year.
Social Networking Accounts
Social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and similar sites enable individuals to communicate and interact easily.26 In a recent survey of U.S. adults who use social networking accounts, 28 percent use them to promote themselves or their work, 28 percent use them to make new business or professional contacts, and 89 percent use them to stay in touch with friends.27 In this survey, 37 percent of adults visit their social networking pages at least once per day.28 Clearly, an individual's social networking account is a powerful tool for communicating about the individual's incapacity or death.
If the individual has not left the social networking account password but you have access to the individual's primary e-mail account, the appropriate fiduciary or family member may be able to recover the account's password by using that social networking site's system for recovering a lost password. If that does not work, MySpace and Facebook, the two most popular social networking sites, will not provide the password of a deceased user to anyone under their current policies.29 Both services allow family members to close a decedent's account or to leave it open as a memorial where friends and family can leave messages.30 Other Web sites have been created for the primary purpose of posting online obituaries and memorials, such as Legacy.com, Last-Memories.com, and Gates of Remembrance.31 Some of these Web sites even have online obituaries and memorials for pets.
Domain Names
Registered domain names are the words, letters or numbers that we use to refer to an Internet address such as Google.com or Yahoo.com. An individual or business can register an available name with a domain name registrar for a fixed period of time, typically one or two years. If the domain name is popular or valuable, it is important to track down the individual's domain names soon after incapacity or death. In an interview on National Public Radio's All Things Considered program, broadcast on May 11, 2009, John W. Dozer, Jr., a Virginia attorney, described a case in which hackers stole a decedent's domain names before the beneficiaries of the estate knew about them.32 In that case, the law firm was able to help the estate recover all of the domain names.
If the family members or fiduciaries want to retain an individual's domain names, it's important to check when the domain names expire using a "whois" service available at almost any domain name registrar's Web site. If you do not know which domain names an individual owns, some companies, such as DomainTools.com, offer a fee-based search of domain names by the registrant's name, e-mail address, home address or telephone number. But if an individual registers a domain name privately, these search tools may not find anything connecting the individual to the domain names. Look through credit card statements and checking account statements for annual payments to domain name registrars in order to find the companies that may have privately registered domain names on behalf of the individual.
The vast majority of domain names have little or no value to third parties. But a domain name can have significant value if it is a popular Internet search word or phrase, a word or phrase useful for selling goods and services, or a company brand name. According to midFlux, a company that provides domain name appraisals, some of the most valuable domain names that have been sold are Business.com ($7.5 million in 2005), Diamond.com ($7.5 million in 2006) and Beer.com ($7.0 million in 2004).33 Adult-oriented domain names have sold for even larger amounts.34 A domain name appraisal is not very expensive — usually $30 or less for a typical domain name. Note that a domain name is valued separately from the content of the Web page or other services offered through that domain name. If the family or fiduciary wants to sell the individual's domain names, they can sell them on Internet sites dedicated to domain name sales, such as Sedo or Afternic, or they can be sold at general Internet marketplaces such as eBay.35
IP Rights
There can be significant value in the IP rights attached to pictures, music, movies, literary works, Web pages, computer code and other creative works existing as digital property. According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, IP in the United States is worth more than $5 trillion.36
Obviously, when dealing with an individual's incapacity or death, the family members and fiduciaries should consider the value of the person's digital IP, especially if the person worked as a writer, photographer, artist, musician, inventor or in a similar profession. Look for Internet accounts on Flickr, SmugMug and other picture-sharing sites. Look for Internet accounts on YouTube and other video-sharing sites.37 Also, look through financial records for revenues from Internet sites that license photos and artwork, sell songs to download, and offer eBooks and other written works for sale.
Video Games, Virtual Worlds
Family members and fiduciaries may not consider online video game accounts or accounts in virtual worlds to be valuable property, but they can be. With online video games, the time and effort involved in building a powerful character or accumulating virtual currency or items in the game has led to a real-world market in the buying and selling of these video game characters as well as their virtual currency and items. Edward Castronova, associate professor of telecommunications at Indiana University, in a May 2009 interview with CNN, estimated that $1 billion per year is converted into virtual currencies, primarily for video games.38
One of the most popular online games is World of Warcraft. In September 2007, a character in World of Warcraft sold for an estimated 7,000 euros (about $9,500 at that time).39 If the incapacitated or deceased individual spent a significant amount of time playing any popular online video games, check whether the game character or virtual currency or items are valuable assets that should be inventoried and transferred.
The Pew's recent survey found 35 percent of adults who use the Internet play online video games, but only 2 percent visit a virtual world, such as Second Life.40 But individuals who are active in Second Life average about 40 hours a month in this virtual world.41 As with online video games, there is a real-world market to buy and sell virtual world items among users. Second Life sells virtual real estate directly to users. Owning a small parcel of land in the virtual world is free, but an upwardly mobile virtual citizen can spend real dollars to live the virtual life of luxury. For $1,000 plus a $295 monthly maintenance fee, a user can buy his own private island from Second Life to own, control and rent to other users.42 Top users transact business in the virtual world, such as selling virtual real estate, fashion items and home furnishings. A handful of the most successful virtual entrepreneurs exchange their virtual currency for more than $1 million per year in the real world.43
Now is the time for attorneys to contact their clients to arrange a digital audit.
To conduct this audit, create a form that gathers the names of all accounts, passwords and other key information. Make sure every family member fills one out and puts it in a sealed envelope. That includes children living at home.
The best practice is for clients to keep a list of accounts and passwords continuously updated using computer software or an Internet-based service. Then the sealed envelope only needs to hold the information required to access the client's electronic list — and that won't change as frequently.
Attorneys are uniquely situated to hold this sensitive information securely for clients. But carefully consider potential conflicts of interest when representing multiple family members. To protect client confidences and ensure that key people have access to this information when needed, make sure each person indicates on his form who is authorized to receive his list upon his death or incapacity.
For all estate planners, digital recordkeeping should now be considered a basic step in the intake process for new clients and a basic step in every periodic review for existing clients.
- Ninety-four percent of adults with a household income of $75,000 or more a year use the Internet at least occasionally, according to Demographics of Internet Users, Pew Internet & American Life Project, Jan. 6, 2009, http://pewinternet.org/Static-Pages/Data-Tools/Download-Data/~/media/Infographics/Trend%20Data/January%202009%20updates/Demographics%20of%20Internet%20Users%201%206%2009.jpg.
- Across all income levels, 74 percent of adults use the Internet at least occasionally, according to Sydney Jones and Susannah Fox, Generations Online in 2009, Pew Internet & American Life Project, Jan. 28, 2009, www.pewinternet.org/~/media//Files/Reports/2009/PIP_Generations_2009.pdf, at 5. Also, of adult Internet users, 91 percent send or read e-mail, 71 percent buy something online, 68 percent buy or make a reservation for travel online, 55 percent bank online, and 35 percent use an online social networking site.

Based on the bestseller by two Sex and the City scribes, He's Just Not That Into You confirms that the HBO series was more than just a television show--it was a cultural institution that spawned tours, catchphrases, fashion trends, and more. Ironically, the resulting film is both smarter and funnier than the big-screen version of Carrie and the gang. Of the nine central characters, the sweet, if clueless Gigi (Big Love's Ginnifer Goodwin) makes the most vivid impression. The Maryland career girl tends to fall for friendly guys, like Conor (Entourage's Kevin Connolly), who are "just not that into" her. At a local watering hole, she meets bar manager Alex (Justin Long, Goodwin's Ed co-star), who sets her straight about the difference between what men say and what they mean, adding that there are exceptions to every rule. Her seemingly settled co-workers, Beth (Jennifer Aniston) and Janine (Jennifer Connelly), have relationship issues of their own: Beth's boyfriend of seven years, Neil (Ben Affleck), doesn't believe in marriage, and Janine's husband, Ben (Bradley Cooper), has a wandering eye... for singer/yoga instructor Anna (Scarlett Johansson). Alt-weekly ad saleswoman Mary (executive producer Drew Barrymore) provides the link between this loose-knit community. An avid Internet dater and full-time technophile, she bemoans the fact that "people don't meet each other organically anymore." At 132 minutes, Ken Kwapis's movie could use a few trims, but he brings these complicated romantic entanglements to a convincing conclusion and the confessions from random passers-by add to the laughs. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

our legacy
marian heath
lawson falle
Mrs. Heath. Her spirit is with us at Marian Heath Greeting Cards each and every day. She started this business in her home in Sudbury, MA during World War II and, more than 70 years later, has left us with a legacy of unmatched quality and commitment.
Yankee ingenuity. That phrase might have been invented to describe Mrs. Heath. Even a paper shortage during the second World War wasn't an obstacle to Mrs. Heath. Ever resourceful, she printed her designs on linen window shades. When the business began to take wings it was moved out of the house and into the family's old red barn.
In the early 1950's Mrs. Heath found herself widowed with a young daughter, and although women entrepreneurs were not the norm at that time, Mrs. Heath, needing to support her family, became more serious about her small business. By 1965 the company had accounts in every state. Each account was obtained and nurtured by way of personal service. Through this frequent contact with her customers Mrs. Heath built relationships with each retailer. They were friends, family.
Despite the simplicity of the company's beginnings there was nothing naive about Mrs. Heath. A sophisticated, well-educated New Englander, she began her career as a book editor and designer in New York before she married. Yet Mrs. Heath was not the typical company founder and president. She put family first. Always. She was a devoted and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother; but her greeting card company was, no doubt, an enduring passion. It was an embodiment of her profound wish to improve people's lives by conveying thoughts and art that truly mattered.
In 1986, the company moved to the 20,000 square-foot space in Wareham, MA where we are still located today. There are now 96 employees as well as hundreds of freelance artists and writers, many of whom knew and loved Mrs. Heath. Even as employees came and went she knew every one by name. If there were personal joys or difficulties in their lives they knew who to share it with. Mrs. Heath. After all, they were friends, family.
In 2001 the Greeting Card Association presented Mrs. Heath with the first-ever Esther Howland Award for Greeting Card Visionaries. Mrs. Heath attended the Award ceremonies in Manhattan, surrounded, of course, by her friends and family. She passed away in March of 2002 at the age of 95. This remarkable, industrious, ingenious, single mom created more than a company; she created a legacy of quality, commitment and passion.

Lamar University is dedicated to helping students achieve their educational goals, and scholarships are one valuable tool to do that. Each year, LU awards more than 2,000 scholarships providing more than $8 million in assistance to students. These scholarships are made possible by generous donations from alumni and friends. Most scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement. Other factors such as academic major, leadership ability and specialized skills (athletics, marching band, art, music, etc.) also may be considered in awarding scholarships. For priority consideration for most Lamar University scholarships, apply no later than February 1 each year (some unique opportunities require earlier deadlines).
Applying for Scholarships
To apply for Lamar University scholarships, we invite both new and returning students to submit an application online at lamar.edu/myscholarships, Lamar University's online scholarship application management system. New students will first need to apply for admission to the university in order to receive a username and password in order to submit an application. Current students will use their existing LU credentials to log in to the site. Students no longer need to visit their individual departments in order to apply for major-specific scholarships.
Incoming Freshmen
Incoming freshmen who have submitted an application for admission to Lamar University will receive an LU username and password sent to the email submitted with their admissions application. This username and password will allow the prospective student to access all available scholarship opportunities and complete an online application at myScholarships. This application process is used to apply for both general and departmental scholarships, including those listed below. Some of the unique opportunities available for incoming freshmen include:
Outstanding incoming freshmen with exceptionally strong academic records are invited to apply for LU's Mirabeau Presidential Scholarship program. Mirabeau Presidential Scholars receive a full scholarship for four years covering tuition, fees, room and board, and books. Applicants should be first-time-in-college freshmen (dual credit and AP credit are not disqualifying) with a minimum SAT score of 1250 (math and critical reading) or an ACT score of 28 and a record of demonstrated excellence in academics, leadership, service and/or creative endeavors.
Mirabeau Presidential Scholars Program
Mirabeau Presidential Scholarship applicants must first apply and be accepted for admission to Lamar University. To apply for a Mirabeau Presidential Scholarship, each student should submit a letter of interest that presents a personal statement of his or her academic goals and intended major, along with a current resume, and three letters of recommendation (two of which must be from the applicant's current teachers). If the student has already been awarded scholarships by Lamar University, that fact must be disclosed in the application. Applications for Mirabeau Scholarships should be submitted online at lamar.edu/myscholarships. Applicants who previously submitted paper applications early in the fall of 2014 will be considered along with those submitted online. All application materials should be submitted no later than December 15.
Other Significant Scholarship Programs for Incoming Freshmen
LU offers scholarships through the Southeast Texas Legends Scholarship Program and through the Lamar Honors Program. Incoming freshmen may apply for a prestigious Southeast Texas Legends Scholarship through lamar.edu/myscholarships. The deadline for receipt of the completed Southeast Texas Legends Scholarship application packet is April 1. Incoming freshmen who apply for the Honors Program will automatically be considered for honors scholarships. Continuing honors students and transfers will find information on applying for scholarships on the Honors College website.
The Lamar University Cardinal Scholarship is a $24,000 four-year award ($6,000 per year for four years) to incoming freshman students with strong academic and high school backgrounds. Entering freshmen with SAT scores (math+critical reasoning) of 1250 or ACT 28 are considered for this award. In addition to demonstrating excellence in prior academic work, students must have demonstrated a variety of leadership services. Students receiving Cardinal Scholarships generally compete for additional university academic scholarships.
The Lamar University Excellence Scholarship is a $16,000 four-year award ($4,000 per year for four years) to incoming freshman students with strong academic and high school backgrounds. Entering freshmen with SAT scores (math+critical reasoning) of 1130 or ACT 25 on math and/or critical reasoning are considered for this award. In addition to a strong academic background, students are expected to have demonstrated leadership and service in their high school years. Students may apply for Cardinal and Excellence scholarship awards by visiting lamar.edu/myscholarships. Applications submitted previously in the fall of 2014 need not resubmit another application for these awards.
Other Scholarships Opportunities
Many groups and organizations other than the university offer competitive scholarships as well. Incoming freshmen should check with their high school counselors for information on scholarship opportunities.
Current and Transfer students
Current and incoming transfer students should also visit lamar.edu/myScholarships in order to apply for all undergraduate scholarships for which they qualify.
Graduate and International Students
Graduate and International students should follow the links to the left for information on scholarships available.

Robber shot dead in Boca Raton jewelry heist
Is Boca is becoming a hell hole, or what?Robber shot dead in Boca Raton jewelry heist
By MICHAEL LaFORGIA and KEVIN DEUTSCH
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, May 07, 2008
BOCA RATON After Leon Rozio got robbed, he vowed never to let it happen again.
Three or four years ago, the 64-year-old owner of Miami-based H&L Wholesale Jewelry Inc. lost some $300,000 in gold and jewelry in a hold up, said his half-brother, Fernando Mirabal.
Soon after, Rozio, a prominent member of Miami's Cuban-American community, started bringing a gun on his sales runs, which took him and his priceless jewelry to shops across South Florida.
About 12:45 this afternoon, not long after Rozio parked his red Ford Explorer outside St. Moritz Jewelers on Boca Raton's west side, four men screamed up behind him in a silver car, boxing him in. They surrounded the Explorer, smashing out all four windows to get at the jewelry inside, witnesses said.
"They took the jewelry from the car," said Sherry Frost, manager of the jewelry store at 21310 St. Andrews Blvd. She watched in horror at what happened next.
Rozio retrieved his pistol and started firing, witnesses said. He emptied three or four rounds into the robbers' Silver Saturn Vue, which was outfitted with a Kansas license plate obscuring a Florida tag, aiming for the tires and the driver's side window.
"He opened up like I have never seen," said Greg Sanderson, manager of a nearby Omaha Steaks shop, who watched the shooting through the store's plate-glass windows. "I couldn't believe it. It sounded like the Wild West out there."
The driver, a young man dressed head to foot in black and wearing a black hood, slammed the car into reverse as the other three men scattered, speeding northbound in the parking lot before lurching to a stop beside a nearby Wendy's.
Shopper Jerry Winter said he was browsing with his wife at Nose For Clothes, a shop next to the jewelry store, when he saw Rozio dashing after the silver Saturn, his gun blazing.
"Somebody could have caught a stray slug," said John Whitmer, a salesman at Omaha Steaks.
One of the men staggered from the car and ran west through the parking lot toward St. Andrew's Boulevard, Winter said.
Paramedics found the wounded robber bleeding in the car, said Fire Rescue spokesman Frank Correggio. The man was taken to Delray Medical Center, where he died soon after, officials said.
The other three men escaped in a silver van, triggering a manhunt; it wasn't clear whether any of them were wounded, or whether they made off with any gold or jewels, police said.
Hours after the shooting, the silver Saturn - its back left tire deflated, its driver door ajar, a smear of blood on the left rear quarterpanel - sat in the parking lot, the dash bell still chiming. Officers and crime scene techs huddled round it as detectives interviewed witnesses.
Investigators still were quizzing Rozio, who held a concealed weapons permit in 2006, records show, about 3 p.m. It's unclear whether he'll face charges in the shooting, police said.
"It's a risky business," said Frost, the store manager, still shaken at what she had seen. "I'm so sick about this."

Hello everyone! I love hostas and after reading all the rave reviews on here about Hallsons I ordered three! I bought a blue angel, a krossa regal and a halcyon. I just received them today and they're dormant. (Though I expect our warm Georgia spring to change that quite soon! :) ) I've never planted a dormant hosta before! My question is: Do I need to soak it in water or anything before I plant it? Also, this may be a dumb question but how do I make sure I don't plant it upside down? I haven't pulled them out of their little bags yet but I assume the eyes will be fairly obvious? Thanks so much! Grace |

congrats open bag.. observe.. plant roots down.. eyes/pips up .. roots come out of the bottom opf the crown.. and the piups the top of the crown.. you now know the 3 major parts of a hosta ... wait a minute.. wheres your priority.. really ??? .. you fired up the technology BEFORE opening the box.. crikey .. we might not let you join us.. lol ... throw in bucket of water .... while gathering shovel .. pick spot .. dig hole.. create a cone in such.. and set roots around it .... and set the crown/eyes.. at ground level .. NOT BELOW ... make sure its all snug.. so it doenst sink with soil settling ... water .. water .. water ... mulch helps ... if you have to hold them for a while.. put one inch of water in a bucket... and put the roots in it.. but not the crown ... and store in a cool place...like the basement ... once all this is done.. start planning your next order.. lol ... ken |
Yes, I soak mine for a few hours. I don't think it's necessary, though. Keep the top (crown) out of water, though. The roots should be shaped more or less like a tarantula. Plant the feet down. Using the tarantula analogy, the body of the arachnid is the crown. There also may be more than one crown (tarantulas), although they will be all grown together. bk |
Welcome! What a great way to get started in hosta. After such a bitter winter, those hosta will feel that Georgia sunshine and think Chris sent them on a tropical vacation! You'll find it pretty easy to tell which way is up with hosta...they aren't like the woodier plants like dicentra, astilbe, and peony, where you have to look at it for a minute to get your bearings. There are many great posts on how best to plant the bare root hosta...smarter folks than me will chime in, but a few highlights... --you don't need to soak the roots, but it doesn't hurt, and you should NOT soak the crown. You should get them unpacked pretty soon and you can put the roots in water with the crown dry until you can plant them out. |

ken, they don't have basements in Georgia (or Texas). That's a northern thing. bk |
This post was edited by bkay2000 on Wed, Apr 16, 14 at 13:09
Thanks so much for all the advice everyone! :) I can't wait to get my babies in the ground and see their leaves pop up, I'm so excited! I'll get pictures once they do! Right now they're not exactly photogenic, just a giant pile of roots in dirt! LOL at Ken, I got on here AFTER opening my box and checking out my hostas! That's how I knew they were dormant. ;) BK, we also do have basements here. Most of the houses I've ever lived in (All in Georgia) have had basements actually! :) They're wonderful for getting out of that awful Georgia Summer heat! |
Chris usually has some printed instructions in the box. Dormant ones don't need to be soaked. Plant them as suggested above, give them a light watering to settle the soil around the roots and then wait until they send up green shoots from out of those pointy eyes before you begin to pour on the water. You will be smiling soon, probably less than a week if you have warm weather. -Babka |

they don't have basements in Georgia (or Texas). That's a northern thing. ==>>> which means they dont have a cool place to hold them.. so stick them in mother earth ... if you opened them.. to find them dormant.. but could see roots or pips ??? whatever.. i was just welcoming you with my bizarre sense of humor.. we let anyone in... like bkay.. lol ken ps: actually if you could NOT plant them for a few days.. they would probably best be held.. in the veg crisper.. in the fridge ... |

Hi there. I got my Hallsons order yesterday, and inside with the packing slip was a half page of instructions from Chris Wilson on how to treat your new arrivals. [quote in entirety] Soil/Location.......Hostas prefer humus rich, moisture retentive, woodland soil in part to full shade. Some are more sun tolerant than others, but keep plants well watered in sun. DORMANT PLANTING DEPTH: Enrich soil with generous amounts of compost or peat humus and mix a couple teaspoons garden food into the soil. Dig hole large enough to fix the roots without coiling them, spreading the roots out in the planting hole. Plant with the dormant eyes at the depth listed above with the dormant eyes covered. Plants that are leafed out or starting to break dormancy can be planted at the same level they were previously gorwing with the white stems below ground and greenish stems above. Water in after planting but dormant hostas should be alloweed to dry out between watering until they are actively growing. Once actively growing begin regular, deep watering, 2 to 3 times a week. |

I got my Hallsons order yesterday. And got about half of it in pots today. I put my plants in nursery pots because I am never sure where I want them. That and I do everything slowly, arthritic ankles and knees. Some days okay and some days not so much.(but I do get it done eventually!!) I have had good luck with all my plants that way so far. And I am contemplating putting the nursery pots in larger fancy pots so I can move them around. Digging in my garden is done with a digging bar, not a shovel. It is an old rock quarry ! Great for drainage not so good for digging. Oh yeah and my order was for Kaleidochrome,Warwick Comet, Sky Dancer,Nightlife,Fire Island, Dragon Fire,Blue Hawaii, Queen of the Seas and my bonus was Flamenco Mouse (my first' mouse'). We are off and running, so you folks back East won't be far behind and it looks like the Southerners are ahead of us Westerners. I do love this time of year!!!! |

A regular hexagon looks like a rectangle that has a triangle attached to the top and the bottom of it. An irregular hexagon can have any shape as long as it has six sides.
A hexagon is defined as a polygon that always has six sides. It is always flat, but the length of the sides can vary. A hexagon that has six equal sides and six equal angles is known as a regular hexagon. The interior angles of a regular hexagon are 120 degrees, while the exterior angles are always 60 degrees. Hexagons that have unequal angles and sides of varying lengths are known as irregular hexagons.

Some problems confound the means and efforts of even the most gifted individuals; in 1904, tuberculosis was one such problem. Then, concerned citizens banded together to create the American Lung Association—one of the oldest voluntary health organizations still extant in America today—ultimately defeating the disease through the power of collective action. Today, the nature of the battle may have changed, but the spirit of community concern and volunteerism still thrives. Instead of actively fighting to cure certain diseases, the American Lung Association takes a big-picture approach, helping people quit smoking through education and encouragement, providing in-school programs for kids with asthma, and encouraging the community to keep the air healthy, breathable, and free from clouds of inhalable hornets.
During the school year, Lindsey is just like any other 11-year-old Framingham public-school student?except that she is blind. Though Lindsey tries to get the most out of her education, there are some necessary skills her mainstream school can't teach her. That's where Perkins School for the Blind steps in.
In addition to its regular school curriculum, Perkins runs summer and weekend outreach programs for students and community members to learn skills such as reading braille, mobility, and home management. Lindsey regularly attends the summer sessions where she and her friends learn how to shop for ingredients and make a sandwich, play musical instruments, and participate in water sports. Following these sessions, a faculty member noted that Lindsey has become "very motivated to be independent, and she takes pride in the fact that she can do things on her own." That is Perkins School for the Blind's goal for all of its students: to gain the skills and confidence to live their lives without struggle.
After a minimum of six months of separation from their abusers, survivors of domestic violence are eligible to apply for a Self-Sufficiency Grant from Web of Benefit, which funds comprehensive services necessary to help women meet their goals, including funds for housing, legal assistance, and transportation to attend school or job training. A T pass from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority ensures that women in the program have guaranteed transportation for one month, and allows them to travel to school, work, job training, or job interviews.
In the words of its teachers, the Growing Well Program "is a hopping, clapping, drawing, bouncing, singing, playing, interacting and learning program for children and their families." Here, babies and kids up to kindergarten age participate in programs focused on specific topics, like music, science, and poker. The Music Together program is one of the center's specialties, and it gets little toes tapping to genres like world music, jazz, and folk. There are also play-group sessions that immerse kids in the Russian language.

2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon
New: Cadillac's stalwart gets wagonized.
Noteworthy: A mechanical twin of the CTS sedan, the Cadillac wagon adds practicality with a European flair. In both the sedan and the wagon, a 3.0-liter direct-injection V-6 now stands as the base engine, in place of the previous 3.6-liter port-injection unit. Cadillac won't offer a manual transmission with the wagon, providing only a six-speed automatic. A power liftgate is available and opens to a 25.0-cubic-foot cargo area (compared with 13.6 cubic feet in the sedan). Drop the rear seats, and that volume more than doubles to 53.4 cubic feet.

Davey honored with Community Support AwardMay 1, 2014 |
FLORENCE – Florence Savings Bank, a mutually-owned savings bank serving the Pioneer Valley through nine branch locations, has named Michael A. Davey of South Deerfield as their Community Support Award winner for 2014.
Davey, a vice president and commercial loan officer, joined Florence Savings Bank in 2008. "The Community Support Award Program was established by the bank in 1997, as a means of formally recognizing employees who are active participants in community events and who donate their personal and professional time to local not-for-profit organizations," Diane Gould, senior vice president, Human Resources director at Florence Savings Bank, said. Each year, the award recipient has the opportunity to select a not-for-profit organization of his/her choice, and the Bank makes a donation to that organization. At Davey's recommendation, Florence Savings Bank will make a donation to the Greenfield Community College Foundation, and to the Four Rivers Charter Public School, a college preparatory middle and high school in Franklin County. Davey, a Greenfield native, is active in a number of area organizations. He serves on the Board of the United Way of Hampshire County, the Board of the Greenfield Community College Foundation, and as a Board member of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Training and Development, based in Amherst. Davey's community involvement also includes participation in numerous fundraising activities to benefit organizations. "I firmly believe we should support those in our community who are facing challenges. There are so many non-profits doing great work in this regard, and I'm happy to support their efforts to improve lives," he said. Davey is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts, where he earned both his Bachelor's Degree and his Master's of Business Administration. In his spare time, he enjoys golf, cycling, hiking, and other outdoor activities. Florence Savings Bank President and Chief Executive Officer John F. Heaps Jr. said, "Mike is the ideal choice for the Community Support Award. He gives so freely of his time and energies, and his efforts make a real difference in the lives of so many. We are all very proud of the example he sets." |

From Amazon
A lot of Dave Duncan fans let out a squeal at the end of Lord of the Fire Lands, the previous Tale of the King's Blades. (The Gilded Chain was first in the series, and Sky of Swords comes in third.) It seems that Duncan, in this ingenious, Rashomon-style series, had managed to kill off King Ambrose twice in just two books, and in a different way each time.
But this devilish author knew what he was up to, and Sky of Swords promises to answer all your questions. Just as The Gilded Chain jumped back and forth in time and Lord of the Fire Lands followed a concurrent tangent plot from Gilded Chain, Sky of Swords will likewise tie your brain in knots for a spell. (It should be stressed that all of these books are standalones, following different characters through overlapping timelines--you don't need to read them all, but each is much richer for having read the others.)
Swords picks up Fire Lands' crossbow-bolt-between-the-eyes finale somewhere around page 80. But this time we're looking through the eyes of Princess Malinda, this book's irascible (she is Ambrose's daughter, after all) but ultimately likable heroine. We learn about Malinda's bumpy upbringing, but Swords doesn't really get interesting until the aftermath of Ambrose's death, the ensuing threat of civil war, and the outcome of Malinda's trial for treason (which begins on page 1, but in true Duncan fashion, doesn't actually happen until near the book's finale). What's the best part of Sky of Swords? Not to ruin anything, but you've probably already read its conclusion--in the final pages of Gilded Chain. --Paul Hughes
From School Library Journal
YA-In this third entry in the series, Princess Malinda is furious when her father, King Ambrose IV, arranges her marriage to the Baelish King Radgar in order to end a decade-long war. She fully intends to go through with it, however, until her groom gives her the option of walking away. So she does, and he assassinates her father in full view of the wedding guests and the King's Blades, an elite group of magically bound, magically enhanced swordsmen. The princess's baby half-brother is named king, but when the sickly child dies, Malinda seizes the throne, killing the Lord Protector in the process, but unfortunately letting two other contenders for the crown slip through her fingers. She is eventually imprisoned and accused of treason. A small band of Blades comes to the rescue, but rather than pursue her claim and subject Chivial to civil war, she determines to try a risky sorcerous ritual. This book, like the others, is an entertaining, swashbuckling adventure. The Blades are charming characters with legendary prowess at more than just swordplay. Malinda is a daring, stubborn, and kindhearted young woman who always acts with courage and aplomb. The realm of Chivial becomes more defined with each book, but there is plenty left for Duncan to explore.

From Booklist
The third tale of the king's blades is a prequel to The Gilded Chain (1998), but like that book and Lord of the Fire Lands (1999), it reads well on its own--a rare virtue in these days of interwoven googolplexologies. Its basic story is the struggle of princess, later queen, Malinda, to ensure that her baby brother, Amby, succeeds to the throne. She has her beloved Ragnar as an ally, but precious few others, for the king's blades have been intrigued and enspelled into exile or hiding. Like their apparent model, Dumas' musketeers, the blades are very hard to keep down, however, when treachery is afoot, and they return to help Malinda in a series of well-drawn plots and counterplots that end, if not happily, at least with some hopefulness. Duncan may not always attain high artistry, but he always avoids stupidity, and Malinda is a worthy addition to fantasy's phalanx of valiant ladies and quite plausible in the context of her world.

United Center
Attendance: 22,091
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Luol Deng gave Chicago a third offensive threat, scoring 24 points to go along with five rebounds, as Chicago pulled away from Milwaukee, 90-77, at the United Center.
With Joakim Noah out for the foreseeable future after surgery, the Bulls have relied on Carlos Boozer and Derrick Rose for their offensive punch. They received a big boost from Deng and the customary from the other two stars, as Boozer scored 24 points with nine boards and Rose added 18 points and 12 assists to just two turnovers.
"At the end of the day it is a win. Nobody is going to look at how you got it," said Deng.
Chicago has won four of its last five games and 11 of 13 overall.
John Salmons scored 18 points and Luc Mbah a Moute added 12 points for the Bucks, who have dropped two straight and five of their last seven games.
Chicago jumped out to 9-0 lead and scored the final seven points of the first quarter, capped by Brewer's mid-range jumper, for a 27-15 advantage.
The second stanza had a far different tone, as a 20-6 stretch for the visitors flipped the game. Mbah a Moute scored the final four points of the run for a 45-42 lead, and the Bucks took a 45-44 lead into the locker room.
The teams went back and forth during the third quarter, but Chicago used six successive points to open a five-point margin, 58-53, that it maintained until the end of the third period.
Three straight jumpers -- a pair of mid-range shots by Boozer and Kyle Korver, followed by Rose's trey -- pushed the margin to 83-70 with just under four minutes to play, and the Bulls were not threatened the rest of the way.
"Yes, almost miraculously we were in this game," Bucks head coach Scott Skiles said. "We played well at times but had nothing offensively. We got to the line a lot up until halftime and that, with our second-chance points, kept us in it. We came back and got the lead but just couldn't keep it. Turnovers came at poor times. When we were building momentum we would miss a shot or turn it over and that hurt us."

text: 1Finnish Meteorological Institute, Research and Development, P. O. Box 503, 00101 Helsinki, Finland 2Department of Physics, University of Helsinki, P. O. Box 64, 00014 Helsinki, Finland Abstract. The Antarctic near-coastal sub-micrometre aerosol particle features in summer were characterised based on measured data on aerosol hygroscopicity, size distributions, volatility and chemical ion and organic carbon mass concentrations. Hysplit model was used to calculate the history of the air masses to predict the particle origin. Additional measurements of meteorological parameters were utilised. The hygroscopic properties of particles mostly resembled those of marine aerosols. The measurements took place at 130 km from the Southern Ocean, which was the most significant factor affecting the particle properties. This is explained by the lack of additional sources on the continent of Antarctica. The Southern Ocean was thus a likely source of the particles and nucleating and condensing vapours. The particles were very hygroscopic (HGF 1.75 at 90 nm) and very volatile. Most of the sub-100 nm particle volume volatilised below 100 °C. Based on chemical data, particle hygroscopic and volatile properties were explained by a large fraction of non-neutralised sulphuric acid together with organic material. The hygroscopic growth factors assessed from chemical data were similar to measured. Hygroscopicity was higher in dry continental air masses compared with the moist marine air masses. This was explained by the aging of the marine organic species and lower methanesulphonic acid volume fraction together with the changes in the inorganic aerosol chemistry as the aerosol had travelled long time over the continental Antarctica. Special focus was directed in detailed examination of the observed new particle formation events. Indications of the preference of negative over positive ions in nucleation could be detected. However, in a detailed case study, the neutral particles dominated the particle formation process. Freshly nucleated particles had the smallest hygroscopic growth factors, which increased subsequent to particle aging. Citation: Asmi, E., Frey, A., Virkkula, A., Ehn, M., Manninen, H.

Ms. Vijay was referred to us by a friend who is also a practicing attorney in her area of expertise. We had some recent probate/will issues to attend to that were a bit tough to migrate through due to a death in the family. Ms. Vijay practiced patience and professionalism to understand our situation and delivered the necessary legal guidance to get us the required results. It is my observation that she excels not only in her profession, but in character and compassion to understand her client's goals. What we appreciated the most is the peace of mind after working with her to expeditiously close out some difficult tasks surrounding the death in our family. I highly recommend Ms. Vijay and would definitely hire her again!

I was unfamiliar with the short sale real estate process. The property I was wanting to buy was a short sale that also had multiple lien holders and required approval from bankruptcy court. There were a lot of obstacles in the course of the sale and I felt it would be best to consult with a professional about the process. After the initial consultation I felt confident in retaining attorney Vijay to help me thru the process. Shashi impressed me not only with her knowledge of the step by step workings of the short sale , but also by her genuine motivation to make sure I was informed, that I under stood what was happening and that I was being represented in the best way. Shashi's enthusiasm during the entire sale was consistent even during those slow waiting time frames when it seemed like forward progress had come to a stand still. I would recommend attorney Vijay with the highest level of satisfaction and would look forward to working with her again if the opportunity presented itself.
