In a Complex World, Even Lawyers Need Lawyers
By JONATHAN D. GLATER
Published: February 3, 2004
While courting a new business client, a lawyer at Pillsbury Winthrop made an uncomfortable discovery. The potential client wanted to sue a subsidiary of another company that the firm represented.
What the lawyer did next may be just one more sign of the times. He called his own lawyer -- the general counsel at the firm.
Law firms, it turns out, are finding that they need their own lawyers to advise them on how to practice law.
''A big firm in the modern era has to show great sensitivity and care,'' said Ronald E. Van Buskirk, who is general counsel at Pillsbury and is still investigating that particular conflict. ''Even though the lawyers in your firm may be very bright and they can go do research, you want someone who's been through it before.''
This may not be quite like shipping coal to Newcastle, but it is akin to a consulting firm hiring its own change agent, or perhaps a software firm taking on a programmer to review the work of other programmers. After all, law firms -- especially the largest ones -- already employ plenty of lawyers.
But more and more law firms are hiring a general counsel or naming someone to the position. They are spurred in part by fears of greater regulation, aggressive plaintiff-side securities lawyers, the prospect of criminal prosecution and the demise of Arthur Andersen, the accounting firm convicted of obstruction of justice for hindering investigations into the accounting at Enron. In explaining the trend, lawyers generally play down those risks and emphasize that firms have grown very large, making it harder to rely on traditional, more informal ways of managing legal concerns.
''It's sort of like the story of the shoemaker's shoes,'' said William J. Perlstein, managing partner of Wilmer Cutler & Pickering in Washington, referring to the cobbler who neglected his own shoes. Mr. Perlstein's firm recently hired a second lawyer to assist with general counsel-type duties.
In addition to handling employment and other types of contracts and representing the firm in disputes -- duties that would fall on a general counsel at any company -- the counsel at a law firm often oversees training programs to make sure that lawyers recognize ethical issues, advises lawyers confronting thorny conflicts, ensures compliance with state bar association rules and provides advice on firm management. While some of the largest firms have had general counsels for several years, the trend has picked up speed of late, lawyers say.
''Firms have said, 'We need someone to ensure that we are doing the right things the right way,''' said Thomas S. Clay, a principal at Altman Weil, a consulting firm to law firms. ''They want to have somebody whose job it is to make sure that the firm is staying on the straight and narrow.''
One problem, lawyers say, is that figuring out the right thing to do in increasingly complex transactions or lawsuits has become too difficult for the average lawyer.
Though mega-firms may have thousands of lawyers, nowadays each has fairly specialized knowledge of a particular type of law, and it is unfair to expect a mergers-and-acquisitions lawyer to know how to handle a potential conflict of interest that comes to light while reviewing documents from a company that a client wants to buy, said Anthony E. Davis, a partner at Hinshaw & Culbertson who advises law firms. But, he added, it is reasonable to expect that lawyer to spot the potential conflict.
''The applications of the rules of professional responsibility and the other laws governing how lawyers behave toward each other and toward their clients and toward the courts have gotten very much more complicated,'' Mr. Davis said. ''When a conflict of interest is waivable and what's required to get a waiver is not something every lawyer can possibly know.''
At the same time, the consequences of a mistake may never have been higher. The government's conviction of Andersen, a partnership like many law firms, ended the idea that a successful professional firm could weather any crisis.
Furthermore, if big law firms recommend that their large corporate clients follow various policies and procedures -- such as employing a general counsel -- the firms would be remiss if they did not do so themselves, Mr. Perlstein of Wilmer Cutler & Pickering said.
When consultants at Hildebrandt International, a consulting firm that advises law firms, were trying to decide what kind of event would be popular with their clients, they came up with an informal roundtable of firm general counsels, James W. Jones, a director at the firm, said.
''I noticed that this was a position that was popping up at a number of the larger firms,'' Mr. Jones said, though he noted that there were no statistics on how many firms have general counsels. The new group, which meets three times a year, held a meeting last month in Phoenix, attended by representatives of about 20 firms, he said. ''We found great eagerness in the market.''
One reason for the demand is the uncertainty about how best to structure the role of a general counsel in a law firm, Mr. Jones said. Some firms have designated a lawyer to be a full-time general counsel, while others have lawyers who are also representing the firm's clients.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals

The agency won the account after a multi-agency pitching process. It will be tasked with building the Indian tyre maker's global brand across print, electronic and digital platforms.
The five-year-old creative agency, whose clients already include Land Rover, Jaguar and Rockstar Games, will also be put to work on Apollo's partnership with the British football club.
Apollo hopes to use the football tie up to raise its brand awareness among potential business partners and consumer audiences in both markets.
On winning the Apollo Tyres account, Brooklyn Brothers' planning partner, George Bryant, said Apollo Tyres is a "highly ambitious company" that continues to set "new benchmarks".
He said: "Together, we share a great passion for football and the value of 'people power' and we're really looking forward to working with Apollo Tyres and help them reach out to Manchester United's 46 million followers in the UK and India."
Manchester United announced in August that Apollo would become its official Tyre Partner in the UK and India.
Marco Paracciani, the chief marketing officer at Apollo Tyres, said: "We were looking at having an agency on board who not only understands the automotive business, but is also in a position to work closely with us on this new phase of growth for Apollo Tyres.
"Their unique methodology –'invite, activate, amplify' – along with their community-focused approach on our association with Manchester United Football Club, led to their selection over others."

Meanwhile, all patients included in the said study had a tumor biopsy prior to receiving an anthracyclin-based chemotherapy followed by surgical excision of the tumour a protocol that clinicians call neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. After the surgical intervention, pathologists analysed the surgical specimen and determined if tumor cells were still present. This is a way to measure the efficacy of the chemotherapy.
If no tumor cells were found, the patient was considered to be fully responsive to the treatment (defined as "complete pathological response"). The aim of the study was to test if genomic analysis of the tumor taken before chemotherapy treatment could allow the identification a signature which permits the prediction of the patients who would respond to the chemotherapy.
To achieve this task, Drs Farmer, Mauro Delorenzi, and Pratyaksha Wirapati from the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics developed new computational methods to extract relevant gene patterns from the vast quantity of data generated by the microarray experiment. "In this study, we have mined the gene expression data in order to find a particular gene activity pattern, or gene signature, that would be associated with how patients respond to chemotherapy," Dr Farmer said.
Results showed that a signature measuring the biological activity of tumor's microenvironment, also known as reactive stroma, predicted how patients would respond to the treatment.
Researchers found that it is precisely the magni

Birthdays... when you're a kid, you just can't wait for them. You reach a certain age, though, when you wish they'd go away for various reasons. Mostly, because it means you're getting old. Some families are too enthusiastic about birthdays, however, and you really can't get away from the fact you're a year older. Ever.

Has anyone used bumkins? Opinions? Nicki's diapers has them BOGO free so I ordered a wrap and an aio to try them out (well, two of each I guess). How do they compare to the thirsties wraps?
Bumkins on sale BOGO
I just bought 2 newborn covers and am wondering the same thing.

Wife• Mom to a sweet boy 10/2011• Baby number two coming Feburary 2016• two angel babies
I like the covers, the pockets/AIO are worthless, I threw them away.
Tara (32) DH/Kyle (35) DS Brady (6/26/07)
Cason born Labor Day - 9/5/11 - our family is complete!
I had a cover. We used it for a month and then it was completely useless.
EBF, BW, CD, Bedsharing momma to Caitlin Abigail (1-3-07) and Olivia Grace (11-12-11)
I used to LOVE Bumkins, my 2 middle kids wore them a lot and I have some of their old ones left over that my current baby dd is wearing now, 8 years old and still working great.
So I decided to order some new ones, just got them a few days ago and have worn them a few times, I do NOT like the new AIOs, esp when compared to the old style.
First of all the velcro is just harsh, it came undone in the wash and one side attached to the insert and when I peeled it off it had messed up the stitching and fabric, the other closure had attached itself to a fleece liner and really messed it up too. The free floating/has to be stuff/half attached liner is just dumb. The AIO worked ok as far as absorbency and trimness and the outer cover is really soft.
The OS snaps will NOT stay snapped , i'm trying to put a crying baby in the diaper and the stupid snaps keep popping open.
I ordered a seconds cover and there is a huge hole in the leg area that once it rips open the cover will be basically useless.
I loved the pockets the first few times dd wore them, they seemed to work great, but last night she peed straight through the entire diaper.
There was palpable moisture on the outside of the diaper cover, the inner lining felt dry but what good is that when the inserts are soaking right through the outside of the cover?
Overall i'm not too pleased with the new Bumkins, the old ones were a little bulky, but were our go to AIO. So i'm going to stick with our old worn out Bumkins b/c they are better than the new ones.
And i'm pretty sure that sale is seconds, after my experience I would not buy anymore seconds from Bumkins.
Well, I bought 2 newborn covers. I'll let everyone know how they hold up.
Balanced Translocation Carrier: Miscarriage 12/03, 10/09, 4/10 and 5/10
I have to add to this that I just used the second pocket diaper stuff with an infant CPF and it worked great, no leaks at all and dd and the fleece lining felt dry. One of the snaps did come undone while I was stuffing it, but stayed snapped while I was putting it on dd and stayed snapped after that.
The other pocket is in the wash and when I took it out of the pail it was still soaking wet and the lining looks pourous. These pockets are the same fabric/size/style, one seems to be awesome and the other seems to be a complete dud.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium App
Bought this one for my new note. Really love it. Esp the clip, very very tight wont loosen up like my one I had for my Streak 5 was so loose it would wobble on my belt.
Also like how this has a 1" strap on the top with magnet snap.
Side note.. everyone talks about how big the note is, my streak 5 was larger with a smaller screen and heavier. But that could be because of the all metal frame which I do admit i miss.
Found a deal for 2 oem batteries and a wall charger. http://www.ebay.com/itm/160739750774...#ht_554wt_1127
Still waiting for it to come in. I work outside my home office alot. And need to use it to read/mod powerpoint/excel/work docs and circuit diagrams for a voip network alot. So like to have a spare or 2 batteries just in case.
Please tell be this is for the i717 note and not the international model
And if I found it please hit thanks......thanks :)

Report: Mike Napoli's Contract Details Include Bonuses Based on Plate Appearances, Active Roster Days
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 1/23/13
When news first broke at the winter meetings that Mike Napoli had reportedly agreed to a deal with the Red Sox, it looked as if the veteran slugger was in line to receive $39 million over three years. After a hip issue was detected during his physical, though, the 31-year-old was forced to settle for a one-year contract. The Red Sox officially announced on Tuesday that they have signed Napoli to a one-year pact, and while the terms of the deal were not disclosed, reports have indicated that the first baseman will earn $5 million, with the potential to earn up to $13 million based on incentives. It was initially unclear what exactly those incentives are, but WEEI.com's Alex Speier has reportedly obtained information regarding such. Speier reports that Napoli's contract includes the following incentives that could increase the total value of the contract to $13 million in 2013. Active roster bonuses $500,000 each for 30, 60, 90, 120 days on the active roster Plate appearance bonuses $500,000 each for 300, 325, 350, 375 plate appearances $1 million each for 400, 475, 550, 625 plate appearances Catch-all bonus If Napoli is active for a minimum of 165 days in 2013, he will get the full $8 million in incentives for a total of $13 million Photo via Flickr/Mikelachance816

1796 B-2 Quarter Dollar1796 25C PCGS Genuine. B-2, R.3. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a VG example, but has a counterstamp on the reverse, and the right obverse field is tooled with pinscratches, as is the base of Liberty's neck. The counterstamp is composed of the initials O.G. and has been deeply impressed near the eagle's belly. It flattens Liberty's neck, which is opposite. Slightly bent from the counterstamp, but this cream-gray example will complete a quarter dollar type collection, of which the 1796 is the key date.

Update: With several less costly options available in what promises to be a deep group of free agent wide receivers this year, it is looking like the Chargers will let Jackson test the open market, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Recommendation: The Chargers like Jackson and were previously willing to discuss a long-term deal with their top wideout, but it's looking like they don't want to spend the money that he will likely command. The team is publicly saying that they want to be in play when Jackson starts receiving offers, but it is sounding like the Bolts will probably try to see if a suitable replacement can be had at a lower cost. It's a bit of a risky play because many believe Jackson will be the first receiver off the board this offseason, but it looks like general manager A.J. Smith is comfortable taking that gamble for now.
I would love to see him in a Pats uniform, I hope Mr Kraft and BB can look into that.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 11/29/12
If there is some advantage to be gleaned whether tactical or practical in playing for a second straight conference championship in the same venue, Wisconsin players are clinging to such a hope like grass stains on a football jersey this week. Five losses this season? So what. A third-place finish in the Leaders Division? Big Deal. Wisconsin has been here, done that when it comes to the Big Ten title game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. At least, that's what the Badgers are telling themselves. "We're at a distinct advantage having played there last year, understanding what the game is about and even the practical things like where we're staying and where we're practicing," Badgers linebacker Chris Borland said. "I think the experience helped us last year." Last season, Wisconsin won the inaugural Big Ten championship 42-39 against Michigan State and clinched its spot in the Rose Bowl. Of course, Nebraska players will tell you just because Wisconsin won there last year or kno...

On Tuesday and Wednesday, 25 high school students and recent graduates attended classes at the Billings Career Center to learn about Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards.
This is the first year that the Ready for Work safety and career fair has been hosted in Billings, said Casey Kyler-West, the Safety Fest Montana coordinator at the Montana Safety and Health Bureau.
The free two-day class, which would cost between $600 and $700 if they took it on their own, earned students their OSHA 10 card and ended with a career fair.
"This event only gives them a brief intro to safety," said Kyler-West. "They can see some of the career paths they can take."
Jacob Schoenberger, 18, said he believes the class will help his chances in the market as he looks for work.
"My parents are forcing me to find a job," he said. "I think it's going to help me out a little bit."
The West High graduate said he plans on staying active this summer and attending Northwest College in Powell, Wyo., in the fall.
Employers at the career fair said they look for potential employees who show initiative like taking classes to prepare them for potential careers.
Rachel Turitto, a human resources specialist with the Montana Department of Transportation, said having a certificate like the OSHA 10 is a good sign of a candidate's willingness to work hard.
"I think continuing education, even if it's not directly related to their job, is beneficial for a potential candidate," she said.
If she were looking at resumes and one had extra certifications and the other didn't, she would be drawn to the one who had more qualifications. "I think it would give them an advantage," she said.
Ed Dawes, one of the instructors and a safety consultant for the Montana Safety Bureau, said he works with many employers and knows from experience that classes like the one he taught Tuesday and Wednesday are beneficial to people looking for work.
"A lot of employers require an OSHA 10 class," he said.
Classes that teach students about potential hazards on the job can help employers consider hiring someone, even if they're not actively searching but could use the help.
"You got to start somewhere," he said. "Everyone has room for one more, if they can find a good one."

April 16-James and Dewey as Theorists of Religion. A lecture by Michael Slater.April 1, 2014
April 16, 2014, from 12:20 to 1:10 in Morrison Hall 108
This talk examines the innovative accounts of religion developed by two of the most influential American philosophers of the 20th century, William James (1842-1910) and John Dewey (1859-1952). Although James and Dewey held a number of philosophical views in common, including a common commitment to pragmatism, their accounts of religion nevertheless differ markedly in several important respects. After surveying some of the basic features of their respective accounts, I will highlight some important similarities and differences between them, and conclude with a brief discussion of their contemporary relevance for thinking about the nature and function of religious faith.

Superfeet premium insoles feature their Encapsulating Stabilizer System which provides ideal biomechanical support, allowing your body to move easily, lowering the risk of fatigue and injury.
Receive free 3 day shipping on any order $60 and up! Plus every order is covered by our Low Price Guarantee!
Superfeet was founded by podiatric doctors to provide affordable orthotics to the public. Since 1977, Superfeet has created comfortable insoles and orthotics for all sorts of footwear needs. Different types of feet require different types of footwear, so Superfeet provides insoles for any foot type or any sport or activity.
Superfeet insoles excel in providing support and shock absorption with its patented Stabilizer Capsule, deep heel cup, and shape. Heat and friction are reduced with the use of Holofiber fabric, thus keeping your feet cool and comfortable all day long.
First, determine if you have a neutral, pronated (turning inward) or supinated (turning outward) foot. Neutral feet usually do not require orthotics, but can still benefit from extra shock absorption that insoles provide. Pronated and supinated feet usually benefit from orthotics and insoles, and can be helpful to treat flat arches, back and hip pain, plantar fasciitis, etc. Insoles can help those people create an efficient gait and help prevent further injuries as well as help the shoe feel more comfortable.
Also take into account the type of footwear you're wearing. If your shoes contain a removable insole or sockliner, you can insert a Superfeet insole, trimmed to fit, into your shoe for added comfort. If your shoe does not contain a removable insole, one of Superfeet's low-volume insoles can be used for this purpose.

Australian Olympians to sign statutory declaration stating they have 'no doping history'
- From: AAP
- November 02, 2012
Australian Olympic Committee president John Coates will propose that future Australian Olympic team members sign a statutory declaration stating they have no "doping history."
"If they don't sign, they don't go to the games, they won't be selected. What I don't want is for the AOC to have egg on its face like cycling has," Coates said of his zero-tolerance approach.
He will put his proposal to the AOC executive board at a meeting in Melbourne.
Coates says the Lance Armstrong doping revelations have been a wake-up call to athletes and sporting organisations.
He said it's further proof that the Australian government needs to give the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) the same powers as its American equivalent USADA.
"The first lesson from the revelations in the USADA report is something that we've been telling the government since 2000 and that is that the government needs to increase our equivalent of USADA, ASADA's investigative powers, so that they have the right to compel witnesses to come forward under oath and to produce documents," Coates said.
"ASADA needs the power to compel, as part of their investigation, people to come forward and be examined and have access to documents under threat of perjury.
"That's been the real breakthrough in both the Marion Jones case ... similarly the testing didn't catch Lance Armstrong and the others who have been implicated - it was the threat of perjury.'"
The move follows the resignation or firing of Australian cycling officials Matt White and Stephen Hodge. They admitted to doping earlier in their careers following the release of evidence in the Lance Armstrong doping case that saw the American rider lose his seven Tour de France titles.
If adopted, it would affect athletes in contention for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Athletes, coaches and officials would all be required to sign the document.
"In my opinion we simply cannot allow the name of the AOC to be damaged, like that of the International Cycling Union, for not having taken every reasonable step possible to ensure that no person in authority on our Olympic team has a doping history," Coates said.
The statutory declaration would form part of the Team Agreement that athletes, coaches and officials must sign before they are selected by the AOC.
On Thursday, Australian professional road cycling team Orica-GreenEDGE fired team director White, two weeks after he also lost his part-time job with Cycling Australia for admitting to doping during his racing career.
White, who was formerly professional men's coordinator with Cycling Australia, was mentioned in the Armstrong report and he confessed to doping while riding for Armstrong's US Postal team.
On Oct. 19, Cycling Australia vice president Hodge quit after admitting to doping during his time as a professional rider.
"During a stage of my career as a professional cyclist I took performance enhancing drugs - a decision I am not proud of," Hodge said.
Hodge raced as a pro in Europe from 1987 to 1996 with several teams, was appointed to the Cycling Australia board in 1999 and became vice president in 2007.

In 2006, Ford introduced its Ford Fusion mid-size sedan and its divisional platform-mates the Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr, all based on Japanese-partner Mazda's well-respected MAZDA6 front-wheel-drive architecture. Building on this proven platform, Lincoln combines the most powerful 3.5-liter V6 Ford engine available (the same used in the Fusion Sport), the six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and available "intelligent" all-wheel drive to create the mid-size 2011 Lincoln MKZ (pronounced "M-K-Z") luxury sedan. Although the name is confusingly similar to the MKX crossover and new MKS luxury sedan, Lincoln simply follows a long line of luxury manufacturers whose marketers prefer letters and numbers to easily-recognizable names.

A video showing the beheading of an American journalist has been posted online, purporting to be a message to the US from the terrorist group Islamic State (IS).
The high-resolution video shows the killing of 40-year-old James Foley, a freelancer who had been missing since being kidnapped in Syria in 2012.
In what appeared to be a prepared statement, Foley denounced US air strikes in Iraq, which he said had "hit the last nail in my coffin".
Foley's family has confirmed his death, saying: "We have never been prouder of our son Jim. He gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people."

Rupert Murdoch's news and publishing company News Corp has unveiled weaker-than-expected earnings, with a sharp decline in newspaper revenues partially offset by solid growth in its digital real estate and book publishing businesses.
Fourth-quarter net profit reached $US12 million, hampered by a 4 per cent decline in total revenue to $US8.57 billion.
Chief executive Robert Thomson told investors "significant progress" had been made in the first full year since the company was formed from the split of the original News Corp into separate publishing and entertainment arms.

I have to give a shout out to the whole team, especially the "Little Big Man," Nate Robinson who some of you may know played cornerback for the football team his freshmen year. The boy is a Top 10 play waiting to happen; he will dunk on anyone, any size, anywhere. It should be a good [game] tonight [vs. Louisville].

"Italian-Americans are a highly educated group, highly accomplished, and most go on to great schools and colleges," he said. "These kids are there having a good time, and we don't condone the way they behave. We just hope the American viewers take it for exactly what it is."
"It's silly and ridiculous and is the new reality of television and people want to see the sensationalism," said Piccigallo. "It doesn't have any connection to what is real in the Italian community and to the familial experience."
But according to Polizzi, her time filming "Jersey Shore" did result in a so-called Italian, familial experience.
"Because of the show, we're at the Jersey Shore to party, and that's basically what you do -- drink and party," she said.
"But I think everyone is getting the vibe that that is how we're trying to represent Italians, but we're not," said Polizzi. "We do have dinners and get to know each other as a family."
"Yeah, we party, but we also have a family side."

My Jack Russell is some what well behaved, but it seems that every time I give him a bath and try to dry him off, he becomes extremely angry with the towel and me. He starts to bite and yelp, any ideas on why he would do this? He is usually pretty good until there is a towel in his sight. Thanks,

Looking for new monitor
Hi all, I'm currently looking for a new monitor as my current monitor's resolution (1024x768) just isn't cutting it anymore. I'm looking for a 22"-24" monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 that has good picture quality and colors as I'll be mostly playing games as well as watching movies and tv shows on it. My budget is about $150 so any suggestions even if cheaper would be appreciated.
Re: Looking for new monitor
I think that's great .You must prefer Feelworld brand monitor of model FW1001AHT . Price of this monitor is not to costly that is 110 $.

PIMCO Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund offers attractive, actively managed risk-adjusted return potential from mortgage-backed securities (MBS) – one of the largest and most liquid fixed income sectors.
With its high quality, intermediate-term portfolio, this fund can be a fundamental part of most any bond allocation. Because MBS have a low correlation (tendency to move in lockstep) with stocks, they may also provide important diversification benefits. Diversification does not protect against loss.
Agency MBS offer high credit quality and similar levels of interest rate risk to U.S. Treasuries and U.S. agency debentures. At the same time, they typically yield more than Treasuries and are prone to mispricing, which can create return-enhancing opportunities.
The fund benefits from PIMCO's long experience in the mortgage sector and proven investment process. Its managers seek to add value through numerous strategies, including relative value trading and interest rate strategies and the use of proprietary analytics to uncover undervalued securities and manage risk.
The fund is managed by Michael Cudzil and Daniel Hyman, mortgage specialists who both have over a decade of experience in the sector. The team draws on PIMCO's robust mortgage research capabilities, which help identify security-specific risks as well as the effect of mortgage performance on other sectors and the broader economy.
Mr. Cudzil is an executive vice president and co-head of the agency mortgage portfolio management team in the Newport Beach office. He manages agency mortgage-backed securities strategies and total return bond portfolios. Mr. Cudzil is the current chair for the Americas Portfolio Committee as well as a member of the New Product Review Committee. Prior to joining PIMCO in 2012, he worked as a managing director and head of pass-through trading at Nomura. Mr. Cudzil previously held similar roles at Bank of America and Lehman Brothers, as well as a senior trading position at Salomon Brothers. He has 17 years of investment experience and holds a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Hyman is an executive vice president and co-head of the agency mortgage portfolio management team in the Newport Beach office. He is the lead portfolio manager on PIMCO's Ginnie Mae and Mortgage Opportunities Strategies. Prior to joining PIMCO in 2008, Mr. Hyman was a vice president at Credit Suisse where he traded agency pass-throughs. He has 11 years of investment experience and holds an undergraduate degree from Lehigh University.

- Pros: Comfortable, Unique, Fits Well, Authentic Looking

- Best Uses: Costume Party
- Bottom Line: This costume pack is a great price and includes super size wings, head dress & of course the dress. I needed to look like a statue (Hove Peace Statue) and although the dye didn't take I found furniture spray paint worked a treat. The dress can be easily coloured for example red for a devil or green for the Statue of Libery. The fit was good - I brough medium and take a size 10 womens in most high street shops. [...]The only con was it was very see through, so an under garment may need to be warn if you don't intend to customise like me. All in all fab product, good price [...]

The Band's Long Waltz
When I first saw The Last Waltz in 1978, I almost walked out, although I was a fan of both director Martin Scorsese and The Band. I admit I was one of the folks whose tickets for the original 1976 show at San Francisco's Winterland were refunded by impresario Bill Graham in light of the scheduled movie shoot, when he decided to have a Thanksgiving sit-down dinner precede the concert, which translated into a then-hefty $25 price tag.
Twenty-four years and a new DVD version have changed, or at least made subtler, some of my reactions. But I still think two of Scorsese's typical dynamics are in play: seeking out America's underbellies, and monumentalizing or sacramentalizing them. And so The Last Waltz teeters between grit and awe--perhaps unintentionally but tellingly, like rock itself at the time and rock history ever since.
When it premiered, Pauline Kael famously dubbed The Last Waltz "the most beautiful rock movie ever." As a formalist she had a point. With seven cameramen, including Vilmos Zsigmond (later famous as a cinematographer) and Miklos Rozsa (who came to be known as a composer), Scorsese professionalized the deliberately nonprofessional documentary sensibility of D.A. Pennebaker and the Maysles. Now that seems a fitting sign of the times: Mainstream rock had been professionalized, from the boring arena-ready music itself to the new national distribution systems, while pop sputtered with the industry's search for commercially viable trends, like disco. Almost in answer, new forms of folk art appeared. Breakdancers hit urban streets and Bruce Springsteen prowled stages toward apotheosis with shows that exploded somewhere between Elvis, an r&b revue and West Side Story. It was another return to the do-it-yourself folk aesthetic underlying evolutionary developments in American popular culture.
So now The Last Waltz gives me a kind of double vision: It's an elegy to The Band that is also, perhaps unwittingly, an elegy to an era. The sense of reverence toward the motley parade of music stars trooping across its lenses is intercut with open-eyed realism during the best of the connecting interview segments--though those too are frequently tinged with Scorsese's romanticism.
When Music From Big Pink (Capitol) came out in 1968, its album cover was a painting by Bob Dylan. Dylan had hired the quintet, then The Hawks, renamed The Band, for his revolutionary 1965-66 tour, which they spent making garage grunge of his songs while being booed by folk purists who wanted acoustic Dylan rather than the post-"Like a Rolling Stone" model. (Bob Dylan Live 1966 [Sony] is the official version of long-available bootlegs.)
After his 1966 motorcycle accident, Dylan had pretty much disappeared from view, and there were regular rumors of his death or disfigurement. But the smartest word was he'd been hanging out at Big Pink, a nondescript house at the foot of Woodstock's Overlook Mountain, jamming and writing songs with The Band. (These would soon surface as bootlegs; selections have been remixed and officially reissued on The Basement Tapes [Sony] intercut with material by The Band alone.) Dylan encouraged them to find their artistic vision. No surprise, then, that Music From Big Pink opened with one Dylan track, "Tears of Rage," and closed with another, "I Shall Be Released."
Dylan's near-invisibility only augmented his cultural aura, a marketing lesson his widely disliked, thuggish, Svengali-esque manager, Albert Grossman, absorbed and soon applied to his latest clients, The Band. Inside their double-sleeved first album were pictures of the members: Five guys dressed like extras in an early Hollywood western, visual kin to the road-warrior hoboes and evicted tenant farmers who peopled The Grapes of Wrath and Guthrie tunes. Their mothers and fathers and kids. Their house, Big Pink, every band's dream--a clubhouse to jam and practice and record in, surrounded by a hundred acres of mountain meadows and woods. The Band, though, like millions of post-Beatles and post-Dylan American kids picking and singing in their cellars and backyards, still had to keep the volume down for fear of riling the neighbors.
