Practice Pointers, Small Law Firms
Before I once again provide you with thoughts and advice that will hit a nerve, causing your bitter self to (1) again claim, like you do every week, that you hate this column, hate reading every word I write every week, and don't know why you continue to read every word, every week, or (2) send me private emails thanking me, I just wanted to comment on David Mowry's closing of comments in his column.
It's fun to watch the commentariat scatter in desperation for another place to spew, using other columns to cry like infants about their loss of entitlement to say things that make them feel better about their miserable lives just based on the amount of up-votes they get (hey, three people who always like what I say liked what I said, again!).
I don't know why Mowry closed comments, but I just want to reiterate that I will never close the comments on my columns. There is no reason to stifle irrelevancy.
I've watched lawyers reinvent themselves — both successfully and unsuccessfully. It can be done, but like anything else in the legal profession, it takes thought and time. (I just lost half the audience.)
For those left here, there are only two reasons you want to reinvent yourself. One is money, and/or two, is that you hate what you're doing…
Let's take two scenarios. First, you're a former prosecutor turned criminal defense lawyer who after three years of defense work wants to do personal injury. You've been practicing six years and the dream of going from $40,000 as a prosecutor to $250,000 as a defense lawyer just hasn't happened yet. You also hate all your clients, and hate the work. Everyone says there's more money in PI, and you're convinced that five-million-dollar verdicts are readily available for the taking.
This is a lawyer that has not become "the man (or woman — oh, you were getting ready to pounce) to see," and therefore doesn't have a lot to lose by shutting down the defense shop and moving into the world of PI work.
But if you're this lawyer, I wouldn't recommend you open up shop as a PI lawyer. I'd recommend going to do insurance defense for a couple of years. There's the steady salary that's probably about or more than you were making, and no one will really miss you for a few years. This is not to say you can't just wake up tomorrow and say you're no longer doing criminal defense, but remember that when you reinvent yourself — especially if you're going to be doing contingency work — the money won't start coming in right away.
So go do insurance defense, meet all the people in the practice area, and then emerge on the plaintiff's side. I suggest this for other practice areas as well — if you're relatively young in the practice, it's easier to reinvent yourself by learning on someone else's dime. You're probably not making the kind of money that is tough to walk away from, and if your goal is to be competent rather than just taking money from clients and pretending, or sending embarrassing emails asking 300 lawyers for "a copy of a complaint for negligence," it's a better move to learn how to practice in your new area while not having to worry about making rent.
For the lawyer who has developed a multi-decade practice and well-known reputation in a certain discipline and decides it's time to do something else, it's not necessarily more difficult — it's just different.
This type of lawyer has been his own boss for a long time and going to work for someone is generally not an option. My advice for this lawyer, or the younger lawyer that doesn't want to get a job to learn the new practice area, is to find a lawyer that does this type of work. You've got to be careful here. No lawyer wants to teach another lawyer to take his business, unless he's close to retirement. Find a lawyer who does something similar. Going back to the PI example, I would find a lawyer who concentrates on medical malpractice. I would tell this lawyer that I am looking to get into PI, but don't want to do med mal. This sets up an immediate referral relationship. Not every lawyer will be interested, but those that understand the benefit of having someone around that does something similar will at least consider the possibility of working together. I would tell this lawyer that I want to work together on my cases and will pay co-counsel fees in accordance with my Bar Rules.
There is, of course, a marketing aspect of reinventing yourself. Two things to consider. One, I've seen the "now accepting personal injury cases" type ads. I guess that works if you're a lawyer who does mass advertising. The other way of course is to mine your list of current and former clients. One thing lawyers are bad at is understanding the value of relationships with clients after the case is over. I don't care what you practice, every client leaving your office when a case ends should be told to contact you for any legal issue. It's not that you practice in more than one or two areas, but you want to be the person the client calls so that you can maintain contact and put them in good hands.
If you do this as a matter of course, you now have an easy path to communicating your new practice area.
One last thing: Reinvent yourself if you hate what you do. If you are reinventing yourself because you think you'll make more money, I hope you do — because if you don't, you'll hate what you do.
Brian Tannebaum will never "get on board" at the advice of failed lawyers who were never a part of the past but claim to know "the future of law." He represents clients, every day, in criminal and lawyer discipline cases without the assistance of an Apple device, and usually gets to work (in an office, not a coffee shop) by 9 a.m. No client has ever asked if he's on Twitter. He can be reached at email@example.com.

The project, which included widening both sides of the freeway to add the 12-foot lanes and new shoulders, also added an auxiliary lane from Crow Canyon to Bollinger Canyon that is now open.
The construction work began in April 2006 and was expected to take one year; final landscaping is due in fall 2007. The third segment of the project, from Sycamore Valley Road to Crow Canyon, is not yet funded.
The auxiliary lanes should improve the overall operation of the freeway, noted a project report, providing a longer merging distance for vehicles entering and exiting the freeway. "The new lanes will eliminate on-ramp delays by providing exclusive travel lanes for vehicles entering the freeway," according the report. "This will result in much smoother weaving on and off the freeway."
The $59.7 million project for all three segments is being funded by Measure C, the half-cent gas tax passed in 1998 for transportation improvement; the Surface Transportation Program; Southern Contra Costa Regional Development fees; Tri-Valley Transportation Development fees; and State Transportation Improvement fees.

So the Timberwolves lost a heartbreaker to Utah Thursday night. After playing three and a half quarters of fairly unenthusiastic basketball, Minnesota responded to a 12 point deficit by knocking down several threes, tying the game on a rebound put-back by Nikola Pekovic with less than a second remaining. The game went into overtime after Paul Millsap blew an easy alley-oop that should have been a buzzer-beating game winner. (From my notes: "HAHA FU MILLSAP." I'm the ultimate in journalistic integrity.) Instead, the Wolves were given a chance to win the game in over-time. Tonight wasn't Minnesota's night, however, as key misses and turnovers in crunch time doomed the Wolves.
Kevin Love suffered a sprained left thumb after landing on it awkwardly in the third quarter. According to Jerry Zgoda, he is probable tomorrow against the Lakers.
Minnesota fell two games behind Houston in the race for the Western Conference 8th seed.
There. I gave you 143 words recapping tonight's game. Now I'm going to spend some time ranting.
I love League Pass, especially when the Wolves' games escape Fox Sports North. I can watch on my computer, which is very convenient. I can pause, take notes, and continue at my own pleasure. I can re-watch later as well, taking screen caps, and generally studying the action a little more than when the game is on FSN. (Note: I don't get cable, so I have to go to my school's student activity center when the game is on FSN. Being broke is cool.)
The problem is that watching League Pass means listening to the opposing team's announcers who, um, aren't always unbiased.
Example A: Utah's broadcast team, Craig Bolerjack and former Jazz player Matt Harpring.
Several ESPN writers hinted on Twitter that they were annoyed by Harpring's biased crap-announcing, but ESPN company policy dictates that they can't criticize a rival network's announcers. I, however, do not work for ESPN and I can say whatever I damn well please about Utah's announcers.
Certainly, the homerism rankles. Harpring spent most of the game hinting that he thought Paul Millsap, a fine player in his own right, is better than Kevin Love. This is, naturally, ridiculous. My favorite moment was when Harpring attempted to discredit Love as the best power forward in the game by saying (paraphrased) that Dirk Nowitzki is the best power forward in the game "until Kevin Love wins some playoff games." *Taking a calming breath* Ok Matt. Let's set aside the fact, for a second, that this season, Love's Player Efficiency Rating is higher than Dirk's by a full 3 points, or the fact that Love's TS% is actually higher than Dirk's, or the fact that Love averages a full 5 more rebounds than Dirk per 36 minutes. Let's set aside statistics COMPLETELY and point this out: YOU JUST MADE A FREAKING RINGZZZ!11!!! ARGUMENT. DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOU JUST USED THE SAME LOGIC AS EVERY IDIOT LAKER/BULLS FANBOY IN THE WORLD? You are getting paid as a professional TV reporter to spew the same bogus crap that ignorant Kobe-lovers post all over the darkest corners of the internet.
Another gem from Harpring, in reference to Love re-entering the game after spraining his thumb: "I know he's on the other team, but I like when guys play hurt. It's very respectable." Scientific evidence that shows aggravating an injury by coming back too soon can keep you out for longer be damned, I sure do love it when players re-enter the game at 60 percent!
If a Utah fan reads this, please feel free to correct me, but Jamaal Tinsley hasn't honestly made Utah into a different team, has he? Like, he's not Utah's version of Ricky Rubio? Because one of Harpring's funnier quotes (again, paraphrased because I can't find it on LP): "You know guys on the bench are saying 'Put me in coach!' [so they can play with Tinsley]." Yeah, that's probably how the Jazz bench is reacting. I bet everyone is thinking "Man, I just want to play with Jamaal Tinsley so bad! He's the best. If I was in right now, I'd be having a blast!"
More Tinsley related humor: "Boy, Tinsley sure controls his speed well." Uh, yeah he does. He controls it by being 34 years old and slow. Nikola Pekovic is GREAT at this particular characteristic too.
Am I bitter because the Wolves lost? Of course. Minnesota's lackluster effort through three quarters would be enough to make anyone edgy. But Utah's announcers made the entire debacle incredibly unwatchable.
So thanks for that, guys!

Stop the "Price Check" assault on small businesses
I was so angry when I read about Amazon.com's Price Checker App promotion: the company actually paid shoppers to collect information on prices at local bricks-and-mortar shops and then shop at Amazon instead. In most places, Amazon doesn't pay any taxes and they don't contribute to local economies in nearly the same way that small businesses do.
In 1960 my grandparents opened Marcus Books, the nation's oldest independent African-American bookstore. Marcus Books is still here but it's a struggle. All around the country I see independent bookstores and other retailers fighting for survival in this tough economy. Amazon's Price Checker app goes beyond simple competition in a free marketplace. It represents an ugly race to the bottom that might provide short-term benefit for bargain hunters, but will lead to long-term pain for communities in the form of lost jobs and tax revenues.
If Amazon wants any credibility with consumers from here on out, they should pledge not to use these kinds of promotion techniques for the Price Checker app in the future and should apologize to small businesses.
Small, local retailers are having a tough enough time without being preyed upon by huge corporations. I'm calling on Amazon to publicly repudiate and apologize for this race-to-the-bottom promotion.
Small businesses drive our economy, hire the bulk of workers, and fill state and local tax coffers. Amazon.com not only doesn't pay taxes in most states, but your corporation has systematically fought against doing so whenever the issue has come up.
Amazon's naked attack on small businesses strikes me as an attack on American communities. I demand that Amazon publicly announce that there will be no more "price check" promotions and apologize to America's small business owners.

DUTCHMAN Tim Kliphuis breathes new life into existing styles with his high-energy brand of classical, gypsy jazz, celtic and world music. His improvised sound is totally new, yet steeped in tradition. Classically trained and widely regarded as the inheritor of the Stéphane Grappelli crown, Kliphuis first made his name playing with the fiery European gypsy guitarists but soon developed a more personal style taking him to classical, jazz and folk venues around the world. His trio takes the Grappelli style forward several masterful steps with its inspired and deliciously effervescent mix of styles. Their electrifying performances have made them firm favourites on the festival scene and Artsreach are excited to be bringing such an exhilarating trio to Dorset. Catch them at St John's Church, Hinton Martel on Friday 18th January from 7.30pm (01258 840569); also Ashmore on 16th January, Melbury Osmond on 17th, St West Knighton on 19th and Studland on Sunday 20th.
Verwood Trad Jazz Club are pleased to announce that they have moved back to 17 Moorlands Road, formerly known as Club 31, but now totally refurbished and called The Hideaway. On Thursday 17th January they welcome the Sunset Cafe Stompers who will be making their first visit to the club. Led by brilliant pianist Mike Denham and supported, on trumpet, by the very skilled Steve Graham, they play exciting traditional jazz in the style of the New Orleans pioneers. The band takes its name from the famous night-spot on Chicago's southside, owned by Al Capone, where Louis Armstrong once played. Their repertoire, whilst firmly routed in New Orleans, also covers a wider range of compositions made famous by Duke Ellington, King Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton. Doors open 7pm, band plays 8-11pm. Superb a la carte restaurant, bar menu and jazz room menu. Good dance floor and a cosy, spacious and warm venue. For more details call Janet on 01202 813955.

At the forefront of the British Jazz movement, Derek has been described by The Guardian as "one of the most versatile saxophonists in the UK today", and the Derek Nash Acoustic Quartet now features a new line-up made up from some of the best of British jazz. The multi-award winning Dave Newton is probably the busiest and most popular pianist on the British jazz scene today, while the rhythm section of with Geoff Gascoyne and Sebastiaan de Krom displays a musical telepathy that was honed to perfection during their years with Jamie Cullum. The quartet mainly plays original compositions by Derek and his father, Pat Nash, with strong flavours of the Blue Note days. Expect hints of New Orleans, Bill Evans, Lee Morgan, Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond. For tickets and further details call 0844 406 8666 or visit www.lighthousepoole.co.uk.

Certainly, there's a great deal of support for the UN-sponsored mediation, and we're hopeful that we can see progress. And we're delighted you're here.
FOREIGN MINISTER KYPRIANOU: Thank you very much. I believe that the Secretary of State is doing a great job in the very difficult role she has with all these international problems. So it's always a pleasure and privilege to be here and meeting with you. I'm looking forward to our discussions today on – the Cyprus issue, of course, is at the top of the agenda – but also on how we can take even further the very excellent bilateral relations. Cyprus is small by comparison to the United States, it's small compared to most states. (Laughter.) But I believe that we can offer a lot to the U.S. and to our relationship.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Great. Thank you again.
FOREIGN MINISTER KYPRIANOU: Thank you.

Leslie Thomas, as ghost-writer, got close to his hero, sharing his lunch and waiting on his punch lines
Picture by Getty Images
Some years ago several cricket bats were in circulation, each of them said to be the one with which Leonard Hutton scored his record 364 in The Oval Test against Australia in 1938. Nobody knew which was the real one which might, at that moment, have been in the cupboard under the stairs at Hutton's house.
One of the bats came into the possession of Reg Willis, editor of the Evening News in London. He was one of the great generation of Fleet Street editors. He wore red braces which he twanged with élan on occasions. They were twanged when I went to see him about a job on his paper as a reporter in the late 1950s. He was not welcoming me but about to show me the bat. "Len Hutton used this against the Aussies in 1938," he said. "I'll pay you 20 a week. Pounds."
It was not guineas, then, which were sometimes used for salaries in those days. But I took the 20 and a couple of summers later I became ghost-writer of the most famous opening batsman in the world – Len Hutton.
By that time he had retired, become Sir Leonard and now and again told me what to write in a column headed "Sir Leonard Hutton comments". My name was never mentioned.
In fact I never met him until I had written his thoughts on the first day of a Worcestershire v Pakistanis match in 1962. He did not turn up until tea, wrapped in a heavy, trailing overcoat. "It's my back," he said. I showed him the column he was supposed to have written and he looked at it fleetingly: "That's what I would have said."
Before too long I learned that he was the most unusual man; he had astonishing blue eyes (like Sinatra) and he would take a pause of perhaps 10 seconds before coming out with a pithy remark that you grew to wait for. When he signed the contract for me to write his thoughts, he was paid £10,000, so they said, and given a posh car. (I was getting £30 a week.) He inspected the vehicle, then asked the editor. "Are there any wash leathers?" Some people took him seriously.
I soon learned better. The expression might be set and his words carefully serious but I began to realise that there was a joke behind it all – even if it were a private one. You could scarcely detect it in those eyes.
On the Friday of the first match we wrote about together Len was eyeing a bag of crisps that constituted my lunch. "Those crisps look all right," he said. I offered him the open bag and he accepted. "Better with salt," he said after disposing of a handful. "Ah, there it is." He found the salt and distributed it. By the time he had finished there was little left of my lunch.
"You can finish them if you like," I suggested. "Oh no. You eat them, lad, they're your crisps." That's what he used to do – always with a serious expression and his pause before the conclusion. He rarely smiled.
I told him that, as a national serviceman about to be demobbed, I had written to MCC offering to get myself to Australia (from Singapore, where I was) to act as a baggage assistant on a forthcoming tour. The offer was not taken up. But Len thought about it seriously. "You would have made a good tourist," he said. "It's a pity you can't play cricket."
At that moment I was batting with a rolled newspaper against his bowling a paper bag. A group of England players, including Fred Titmus and JT Murray, had gathered to watch and Len demonstrated how he had countered the Australian Ernie Toshack by backing away several feet to square leg and letting Toshack bowl at the wickets. By the look on the England players' faces they believed him.
Years later I was talking to Len at Lord's when Irving Rosenwater approached us, bursting as he always was with cricket facts and figures. "Did you know," he said to Len, "that your younger son played only one first-class match?" Other people gathered round. "East Africa v MCC, Nairobi. Scored 51 runs and took 2 for 47." Sir Len looked dumbfounded. There followed the pause and the look around as if someone else might know better. Then he said: "You never know what your kids get up to."
It was almost impossible to tell what was coming next from him. The narrow face was brown and fixed, the eyes blue and likewise. Once I was driving him through a town in the Midlands. It was a Saturday and the market was in energetic process. We were in slow-moving traffic when Len spotted an old lady on the kerb. "She wants to cross the road," he said, "go and help her." My protests were no use. I climbed from the driver's seat and went to the lady. She did not want to cross. I went back slightly disgruntled to Len. "'esitation," he muttered. "That's how run-outs happen."
I gave up trying to work him out. Once I inquired what his score was at stumps during his 364. He had no idea. I then asked him what he did on the Sunday of the match. According to him the team went down to Bognor and played cricket on the beach. The last time I saw him was in Sir Paul Getty's box at Lord's. "I'm not well," he said. I tried to cheer him up by saying, by no means insincerely, that I thought he was one of the greatest men in the world.
He gave me the look. There was the long pause. Then he said: "You could be right."

URMC Compliance Program Policy Manual:
Patient Transfers
Operation of emergency departments is an integral part of the hospitals' service to the community under their charitable mission. The emergency department is known as a place where any sick or injured person may come for care regardless of his or her ability to pay. The federal government has enacted an "anti-dumping" law to ensure that patients are not transferred from a hospital emergency room to another facility unless it is medically appropriate.
Prompt and effective delivery of emergency care may not be delayed in order to determine a patient's insurance or financial status. Each patient who presents at the emergency department must receive an appropriate medical screening examination. Patients with emergency medical conditions, and patients in active labor, must be cared for in the hospital's emergency department until their condition has stabilized. An emergency may include psychiatric disturbances, symptoms of substance abuse, or contractions experienced by pregnant women.
If necessary, the stabilized patient may be transferred to another hospital that is qualified to care for the patient, has space available, and has agreed to accept the transfer. Before transfer, hospital staff shall provide the medical treatment which minimizes the risks to the patient's health and, in the case of a woman in labor, the health of the unborn child. A physician must sign a certification that the medical benefits reasonably expected from treatment at another medical facility outweigh the increased risks to the patient (and, if appropriate, the unborn child). No physician will be penalized for refusing to authorize the transfer of an individual with an emergency condition that has not been stabilized. The transfer must be performed by qualified personnel and transportation equipment, including life support measures during transfer if medically appropriate. A copy of the patient's record, including complete records of the emergency department encounter and any other records that are available, must be sent to the receiving hospital.
The "anti-dumping" law carries reporting obligations. If an employee or professional staff member believes that an emergency patient has been transferred to the hospital improperly, the suspected violation must be reported to his or her supervisor or the Chair of Emergency Medicine, and to proper authorities, within 72 hours of its occurrence. No employee will be penalized for reporting a suspected violation of the patient transfer law. The name and address of any on-call physician who refuses or fails to appear within a reasonable time to provide necessary stabilizing treatment of an emergency medical condition or active labor is to be reported immediately to the physician's Chair or the chair of Emergency Medicine.
In addition to medical records, the emergency department will maintain an on-call duty roster and a log documenting each individual who comes to the emergency department seeking assistance. The log must document whether the patient refused treatment or was refused treatment, transferred, was admitted and treated, stabilized and transferred, or discharged. When a patient or a patient's legal representative requests a transfer or refuses a transfer, the informed consent or refusal must be documented in writing. If there are questions about the records required under the patient transfer law, the Compliance Officer will answer them or refer them to counsel.
The federal "anti-dumping" law is enforced through civil monetary penalties and through damages in private civil actions. If a facility violates the statute, it can be fined up to $50,000 for each violation. A physician, including an on-call physician, who is responsible for the examination, treatment, or transfer of an emergency patient and who negligently violates the law may be fined up to $50,000 for each violation. If the violation is gross and flagrant or repeated, the physician may be excluded from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

You're going to be reading a lot of posts on this matter this evening, and I just thought I'd add my tuppenorth into the matter. The new MAC collaboration with Rodarte is due out (in the US) in September. A collection of ethereal pale greys, pinks and taupes, it's meant to be inspired by the beauty of the countryside in Mexico, and specificially, items (according to Rodarte) were inspired by the female workers "floating to work" in the factories at dawn.
So far, not so unusual, but several of the items may have been insensitively named: Juarez, and Factory, are the nail polishes in the collection, and here's where the controversy begins, for, over the last several years, women in their dozens have been abducted on their way to work in the factories of Juarez, and they have been raped and murdered. Juarez is a notoriously impoverished factory town, and has been named one of the most dangerous places to live in the world as a result of these abductions, murders and rapes. Very little is being done by the police to investigate the situation, as the women (aged between 12 and 20, in the main) are every poor, and it's not seen as worthwhile to try and bring their rapists and murderers to justice.
After an outcry in the US, MAC have released a statement announcing that they are aware that some people consider these names controversial and/or offensive, and, as a result, they are going to donate a "portion" of the proceeds of this collection to the people of Juarez. Rodarte themselves have merely said that the names of the collection were inspired by their "travels", and have not apologised for the controversial element.
This strikes me as a shame, and a missed opportunity. Why not release the entire collection as an awareness raising one, and donate the entire proceeds to the people of Juarez? MAC, of course, have a track record in this area, donating as they do, the entire proceeds of their Viva Glam releases every year to Aids charities. I'd feel a lot less uneasy about MAC if they'd done this, I'll be honest.
Can you imagine if, in the UK for example, Illamasqua had released a collection with an item named "Soham" and then claimed it was simply because the town was so beautiful, and that was the only reason they chose the name? It shows a massive amount of naivety on the behalf of the Rodarte team that they didn't consider the implications of naming parts of a collection this way, and ignoring any offence they may have caused too.
Please be aware that I am NOT calling for a boycott of this collection, and if you want to buy the items, you are, of course, welcome to (personally, some of the items I've seen, I think to be very pretty, in all actuality - it's certainly not a collection for our darker skinned sisters, judging from the promos though), but I'd like to see MAC do more to redress this situation, (what proportion of the proceeds are they willing to donate, for example) and I'd like to see more in the way of action from the Rodarte team to acknowledge the situation too. Makeup shouldn't, if you ask me, be glorifying the rape and murder of women ...
What say you? Legitimate outcry, or storm in a teacup?

Written Answers. - Laying Off of Laundry Staff.
Tuesday, 31 January 1984
Dáil Eireann Debate
Mr. S. Brennan: asked the Minister for Health if he will confirm that his Department have sought the laying off of 25 shift workers employed by the joint hospitals' board (linen services) laundry in Rathfarnham, Dublin; if, in view of the high unemployment in the area, he will reverse this decision; and if hospitals in the Dublin area are placing work with outside laundries; and, if so, if he will indicate the extent to which this is happening.
Mr. S. Brennan: asked the Minister for Health the action he will take to prevent the laying off of 25 shift workers at the joint hospitals board linen services laundry in Rathfarmham.
Minister for Health (Mr. B. Desmond): I propose to take Question Nos. 243 and 244 together. I have not asked the Hospitals Joint Services Board, Rathfarnham, to implement any redundancies among its staff. The board itself, having made a detailed study of the likely demand for its laundry service in the coming years, concluded that manning levels are higher than would be necessary to meet this demand. In the circumstances the board has decided that it has no option but to lay off a certain number of staff. Since the matter is at present the subject of negotiation between the board and the trade unions concerned I do not think it appropriate that I should make any further comment at this stage.
With regard to the last part of the Deputy's question, the Hospitals Joint Services Board has not a monopoly of the hospital laundry services in the Dublin area. It has always been the case that part of the Dublin laundry hospital requirement was met from other services including private laundries. The extent to which this happens varies and it is not possible to give precise figures on the matter.
My Department, in consultation with the Hospitals Joint Services Board, among other bodies, are currently undertaking [1239] a review of laundry policy in the Dublin area in the light of the programme for the development of general hospital services now being implemented.

The 2012 Abortion Report from the Arizona Department of Health Services shows that the state recorded a 7.4 percent reduction in abortion procedures in 2012 from the previous year. According to the state health department's statistics, Arizona's legal abortion clinics reported a total of 13,340 "elective" abortions in 2012, compared to 14,401 in 2011.
While pro-life leaders consider the reduction reason for optimism, the state's previous report showed an even greater drop in abortions of eight percent from August 2011 to July 2012 (13,538 abortions ) compared to August 2010 to July 2011 (14,711).
Arizona has been one of the acknowledged leaders in legislation designed to curb abortion. Early in 2012 the state legislature passed a measure banning abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy. The bill, called the "Mother's Health and Safety Act," is predicated on the safety risks that abortion poses to pregnant women, along with the pain inflicted on the pre-born babies killed by the murderous procedure.
Additionally, the bill, which was signed into law by Arizona's pro-life governor, Jan Brewer, requires that mothers considering abortion have an ultrasound at least 24 hours prior to an abortion; requires abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their abortion clinic; and provides for an "informed consent" website to offer pregnant women accurate information about the development of their babies in the womb, the risks they face with abortion, and available alternatives.
The pro-life Center for Arizona Policy responded to the new statistics, pointing to Arizona's leadership "in the effort to protect the health and safety of women and pre-born children." The group said that the news is encouraging "to everyone who values life. It is also a testament to what the thriving pro-life movement in Arizona has been able to accomplish."
Attorney Steven Aden of the group Alliance Defending Freedom, which has helped defend Arizona's pro-life measures against legal challenges by Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers, said that "every innocent life deserves to be protected, and Arizona lawmakers should be commended for implementing laws that save innocent lives."

Hans Sloane's collection of shells
The great collector Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) began acquiring shells during his travels in the West Indies in 1687-9. The examples he collected there included many species that had not previously been seen in Europe.
After Sloane returned to England, his friend Martin Lister (1639-1712) included these shells alongside others from Sloane's collection in his amibitious work, Historiae Conchyliorum (1685-92). Lister's book, which was beautifully engraved by his daughters, was an important work in promoting conchology (the study of shells) as an activity that could lead to an understanding of nature. By contrast, later in the century, collectors like the Revd C.M. Cracherode (1730-99) spent large sums on shells that they prized primarily for their beauty and variety. Cracherode's magnificent collection also came to the Museum when he died.
Sloane continued to collect shells after he returned to London. Like other collectors of shells, Sloane often added to his collection by buying or trading examples from other shell collectors and from naturalists. His huge collection included examples that he had obtained from Engelbert Kaempfer (Japan), Mark Catesby (America), his friend the merchant William Courten, and the pirate William Dampier (South Seas).

Top 30 Prospects According To Button
Posted 15 December 2012 - 01:10 PM
Flames with two prospects in the top 30, Sven Baertschi at 8 and Johhny Gaudreau at 20.
Baertschi ahead of other notable 2011 draft picks like Huberdeau, Strome, Hamilton and Zibanejad.
Gaudreau is the lowest round pick in the top 30.
On one hand flames fans can get excited about some media validation regarding our prospect pool. On the other hand it's Button. He ranked Rielly 5th and Murray 26th. He also put Dougie Hamilton 12th, which I find is absolute hogwash.
What does everyone think about Button's assessment?
Posted 15 December 2012 - 01:27 PM
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course. I don't get too concerned about these things but I do look for the consistency from list to list (don't get me wrong, I like when they are not afraid to go against the norm and I think Button is good that way).
Craig Button posted what he thought were the top 30 NHL affiliated prospects.
What does everyone think about Button's assessment?
What I have seen recently on Baertchi:
Finally getting recognized - I have seen him 8th, 8th, 9th and 11th in the most recent lists I've seen. He has been ahead of Granlund in each one. Sometimes ahead of Huberdeau, usually ahead of Zinbad, etc.
One thing that is interesting about Button's list is that he has Schultz 1st. This is BY FAR the highest I have seen him. In the other 3 I have recently seen, I think the highest he was ranked was 22nd. Obviously, Button is buying into the success that Schultz is having with the Barons.
As for Gaudreau, this is the highest I have seen him and the 2nd time I have seen him in the top 50 (which I think he totally deserves). He is starting to get noticed, but he needs to compete against more of his peers (i.e. in the WJC) before most people will really consider him. I think if he has a great WJC, then you will see others add him to their lists as Button has.
Thanks for posting
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:29 PM
Schultz would have the greatest impact if the NHL season started today.
He's also a lot older.
He won't stay on top forever, but he is a special player.
Great to see that Calgary has two players on the top 30.
I'm hoping that the skills coming through the pipeline can finally start to compensate, and maybe More than compensate, for some of the aging core players on the Flames. Keep it up Flames scouting staff!

NEW YORK - Manchester City is partnering with the New York Yankees to own a Major League Soccer team, league commissioner Don Garber announced on Tuesday.
The 20th MLS expansion club will be called New York City Football Club and expects to start play in the 2015 season.
Manchester City, owned by Sheik Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, will be the majority owner of the team. As an investor, the Yankees will be an active member of the ownership group.
"We are thrilled to contribute to the energy and growth of New York City soccer," said Ferran Soriano, CEO of Manchester City. "In the Yankees, we have found the absolute best partner for developing a world-class sports organization and a winning team that will carry the New York City Football Club name with pride."
While MLS has been negotiating with New York to build a stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, NYC FC will start play at an interim home and will consider other sites for a stadium. It will become the first MLS club whose home will be located within the five boroughs.
The new team is intended to spark a rivalry with the New York Red Bulls, who play in Harrison, N.J.
"This is a transformational development that will elevate the league to new heights in this country," Garber said. "The New York area is home to more than 19 million people, and we look forward to an intense crosstown rivalry between New York City Football Club and the New York Red Bulls that will captivate this great city."

Suck's net.moguls Oct 25 2011
Blast from the past...internet luminary trading cards from Suck.com, circa 1997.

Proposed SXSW panel: a suck.com reunion organized by Ana Marie Cox, aka Ann O'Tate.
While its sarcasm traits set Suck apart from the great majority of (painfully earnest) West Coast-based technology "ezines", Suck's lasting legacy is only partially based on the words it contained. Rather, Suck changed forever the way people think about writing for the web -- they perfected, if not invented, the practice of embedding links not as explanatory reference points but as commentary in and of themselves. Suck imploded rather unspectacularly, but its journey offers lessons: From purchase by a deep-pocket media company (Wired) to a quick-hit book project, to its ultimately deadly jump into crowd-generated content. Is that a cycle most indie projects are doomed to complete? For a publication devoted to debunking Panglossian outlooks on the mediasphere, a shocking number of Suck alumni have turned up, closing on two decades later, as influential, even aspirational, figures in their own right, with careers based on bridging the still-extant (if narrowing) gap between old and new media.
As I told a friend a few months ago, if someone launched a site with Suck's voice and spirit today, it would *kill*. (The Awl comes pretty close.)
Classic Geocities site: Walter Miller's Home page. Suck featured the site back in Jan 1996 when it was on Prodigy. According to Ready Steadman Go, Suck co-founder Carl Steadman was rumored to be behind Miller's site. Ready Steadman Go was run by Ben and Mena Trott, who also formed a little company called Six Apart which makes the software on which kottke.org runs.
Anyway, Walter's Home page will soon be gone. Looks like Cartoon Girls I Wanna Nail has already been banished to the land of wind and ghosts. Oh, and whatever happened to Carl? Plastic is still going but is he still at the helm? (via waxy)
Update: Geocities is now dead, and Walter Miller's Home page with it. Here's an archived version. (thx, tim)
Greg Allen still has his bottle of Suck Cola from when the now-defunct web site Suck was handing them out at a trade show in 1996. He's building a registry of Suck Cola bottles...if you've got one, send in the details.
After your Cola information is reviewed and validated, you will be issued a Suck Cola Registry Number. I have designated my bottle SC0005, having reserved the first four Registry Numbers, SC0001-SC0004, for Suck.com co-founders Joey Anuff and Carl Steadman.
Suck the web site has now been dead for as long as it was active, but the Cola lives on.
After four days as a porn site, suck.com is back to its old self. No explanation yet about the outage.
Suck.com is (temporarily? forever?) a porn site. If it's gone for good, it's the end of an era. (thx, owen)
Update: Andy's got more info and is trying to see if an archive exists anywhere.
Greg reminded me that today is the 10th anniversary of the launch of Suck. I started reading a few weeks after it launched, but I do remember going back to read the first article that kicked it off. Here's a lengthy and comprehensive look at Suck's history.

"Cyberspace, and the technologies that enable it, allow people of every nationality, race, faith and point of view to communicate, cooperate and prosper like never before. ... The digital world is no longer a lawless frontier, nor the province of a small elite. It is a place where the norms of responsible, just and peaceful conduct among states and peoples have begun to take hold. It is one of the finest examples of a community self-organizing, as civil society, academia, the private sector, and governments work together democratically to ensure its effective management." -
"All I knew about the word 'cyberspace' when I coined it, was that it seemed like an effective buzzword. It seemed evocative and essentially meaningless. It was suggestive of something, but had no real semantic meaning, even for me, as I saw it emerge on the page." - William Gibson, No Maps For These Territories, 2000
We've come a long way, haven't we? What started as a science fiction phrase coined in the early 1980s has achieved near-sovereign status - worthy of formal policy-making by the leader of the free world.
Last week the White House released the U.S. International Strategy for Cyberspace, a truly historic document that asserts
In the 30-page document, the current administration ties its cyberspace policy to the fundamental principles of American democracy, describes the future state sought by
In reading the strategy document, one cannot help but think of the upheaval brought about during the recent Arab spring uprisings - and the manner in which social networks, pervasive mobility and Internet access all served as force multipliers for the cause of democracy. If cyberspace is the level playing field across which democracy wins the day, then the
Is the document perfect? Of course not. The high-level goals included in the strategy are in most cases not actionable enough to serve as mandate. In some cases, there are abject contradictions between the stated respect for privacy and the firm conviction against cyber-crime. In other areas, the document glosses over the very real international differences between nations and their current attitudes towards individual liberties, nationalized infrastructure, intellectual property and cyber-crime.
Nonetheless, this document serves as a sort of mission statement - a guiding set of principles the Obama administration wishes to weave into all its legislation and policy-making that impacts cyberspace in the future. The funny thing about mission statements is that their impact is never felt upon first reading. What remains to be seen is how well this strategy is adhered to during the subsequent discourse in the
For example, as a member of the Commission on the Leadership Opportunity in the U.S. Deployment of the Cloud (CLOUD2) I can already say that the International Strategy for Cyberspace has informed our thinking and challenged us to begin making more actionable recommendations that align with this stated policy.
In reflecting on the International Strategy for Cyberspace, I couldn't help but flash forward to a future state where the Internet becomes a political bargaining chip, choked by national firewalls, unfriendly to innovation and fraught with cyber-crime. In that hypothetical scenario, what would we say about our leaders if they had stood idly by while such degeneration occurred?
History will show that the

Prep Golf Roundup
3-AAAAAA tourney set for Monday
by Staff Reports
East Coweta and Newnan golf teams expect to be among the favorites at Monday's Region 3-AAAAAA tournament to be hosted by SummerGrove Golf Club.
The two teams met on April 11 at Newnan Country Club in a nine-hole match led by Cougars Carson Vaughn and Max Matistic.
Lady Indians senior Ji Eun Baik is a heavy favorite to repeat as a region low medalist. Baik's score in last year's 2-AAAAA tournament topped all boys and girls competitors. The Mississippi State signee tied for fourth at last year's Class AAAAA state meet in 2012.
Players tee off around 8 a.m. on Monday for the region tournament.
Trinity Christian defeated Holy Spirit and Dominion Christian in an 18-hole tri-match on Thursday at Canongate-on-White Oak.
The Lions finished eight strokes ahead of Holy Spirit. Dominion was 43 behind Trinity, which was led by Tyler Anderson's score of 82 for low-medalist honors. Luke Hammock added a round of 83 in the victory.

When holidays roll around, people often wonder if their local bank or credit union branch will be open during the holiday and the days around it. It can be frustrating going to your financial institution to find that it's unexpectedly closed due to a holiday. When this questions comes up for Easter, the question is whether banks and credit unions will be open on Good Friday, the Easter weekend and Easter Monday?
Good Friday
Good Friday, the Friday before Easter is a Christian holiday, but it isn't a Federal holiday. That means that most businesses, including banks, credit unions and post offices, will be open that Friday. While this...

It was only fitting for Harper Kamp. Just like every varsity season ended during his outstanding prep career, the Mountain View (Ariz.) power forward stood on top. Kamp scored 21 points and pulled down his customary 10 rebounds as Mountain View became just the second school in nearly 50 years to win three consecutive Arizona State Basketball Championships.To win his final state championship, Kamp and the Toros had to beat a familiar foe in Phoenix (Ariz.) St. Mary's, led by McDonald's All-American honoree Jerryd Bayless. Mountain View beat the Knights in the 2005 State Championship - Kamp's first - and also knocked them off three times over the course of the past two seasons, including earlier this year by 19 points. ...More...

The unique Songkran Festival in Chiang Mai lasts for 3 days. The first day (April 13 - Wan Sangkhan Long) is supposed to be the time for people to have their body, mind, home and surroundings cleaned. April 14 is called "Wan Nao", which means a day of making merit in various ways; such as, offer sand to the temples, build Chedis, and conservative style of water splashing. April 15 or "Wan Phra Ya Wan" is a time for people to listen to the monk's sermon, give wooden poles to support the great Bo tree, perform a bathing rite for Buddha images and monks, and enshrine the ashes of the ancestors, release birds and fish, pay respect to elders and ask for their blessing, as well as splash water on each other. During that time, the city area will be decorated with Lanna style arts for welcoming the event.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become a volunteer at Hinsdale Humane Society?
The first step to becoming a volunteer is to contact our Volunteer Coordinator by email at email@example.com or by calling 630-323-5630, ext. 24. Once contacted, we will set you up for an orientation. Upon completing the orientation, volunteers pay a $25 volunteer fee and can set up training for the position(s) for which you are best suited to volunteer.
I'm under age 18, but want to help out. Can I still volunteer?
Yes! We love working with younger volunteers and believe that our youth have great talents and skills to share with our shelter animals. Students 12 – 15 are welcome to socialize cats, accompanied by a parent or guardian. Youth ages 16 and 17 can volunteer with either cat socializing or dog walking with written parental permission. High school freshman through seniors are welcome to join our Junior Board, a youth-led group whose mission is to encourage knowledge of animal advocacy operations, build leadership skills, appoint and assist on different committees, learn to organize promotional materials and plan public events all while helping our homeless pets.
What do volunteers do at the Hinsdale Humane Society?
Almost anything! Please check out our Volunteer Opportunities.
I've been through the New Volunteer Orientation. What are the next steps?
After attending volunteer orientation, we ask you to submit the Volunteer Application on line.
Is there a fee to volunteer?
We ask for $25.00 Volunteer Application fee, which can be paid by check or credit card. You may mail a check to Hinsdale Humane Society, 22 N. Elm Street, Hinsdale IL 60521 or call the shelter during regular business hours for credit card payments. The fee helps to cover the cost of training and your volunteer T shirt. When submitting your payment, please supply the name of the volunteer and phone number so we may contact you.
Is there additional training provided?
Depending upon the Volunteer Opportunity you desire, additional training may be required. Our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to set up a convenient time for you to complete your training. We also have a "shadowing" program where you'll gain confidence as a volunteer.
How many hours of volunteer time do you require?
We ask for a commitment of 4 hours per month.
What is the process for volunteering with my trained therapy pet?
For details, please go to the How to Become a Pet Therapy Volunteer Team section of our website.
Is there anything my Scout Troup, Confirmation Class, School Club or other group can do to volunteer?
Absolutely! Please contact email@example.com to discuss what you have in mind. Volunteers who have not been through our orientation and training sessions do not work directly with the animals, but we can arrange other meaningful experiences where you can truly make a difference!
I need volunteer hours for community service. Would I be able to complete these hours at Hinsdale Humane Society?
For teens who need community service hours for a class or club, we will work with you to help you complete the hours you need. Please contact email@example.com to discuss. Depending on the Volunteer Opportunity, you may or may not need to attend an orientation or further training.
For those interested in completing court-ordered community service, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at email@example.com or 630-323-5630, ext. 24 to discuss your specific needs. We accept court ordered community service on a limited basis. Community service hours are tracked and verified by obtaining appropriate staff signatures.
I'm only available for summer. Can I still volunteer?
Yes. We know people live very busy lives. Students often have more availability in summer and adults may spend seasons in other climates. Come join us when you are able (and when we have available shifts!) We also need teens and college students as camp counselors in the summer. If you've been away from volunteering for awhile, we may ask you to shadow your first time back.
Now that I'm a new volunteer, how do I sign up for hours?
As part of your training, you will learn how to sign up for hours on the computer. Once fully trained, you will receive a password and instructions for signing up from home.
If you have further questions, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at email@example.com or 630-323-5630, ext. 24.

Open for at least another year
Seventh graders and their parents lined up at Gorton Junior High School for orientation Tuesday evening. A short-term school facilities planning committee voted to close the school this year, however, the School Committee gave it at least a one-year reprieve so that a long-range plan to account for declining school aged population could be developed. That committee recently unanimously agreed secondary school consolidation needs to occur. Its report is due shortly after the first of the New Year.

London in the 1590s was a vibrant and expanding town. It was an important port and the Thames a major thoroughfare. The city culture would have been alive with painters, actors and writers. The theatre was becoming an institution popular with all social classes. Playgoing was part of the city's daily life and all levels of society shared the experiences of the theatre. Aristocrats were familiar with the dramas of the day from acting parts at school, seeing plays at Court and, later, becoming patrons of the stage. Apprentices and merchants also enjoyed the theatre and often took an afternoon off work to go and see a play.
Consequently, when Shakespeare began working in London around 1588 the market was good for new companies and, between 1567 and 1622, nine new outdoor playhouses were built.
Boy companies competed against the adult companies and were actually able to earn more money than their more experienced rivals were. They evolved from a tradition of grammar school performance and choirboy practice and were particularly popular at Court. The three main boy companies were The Children of St. Paul's, The Chapel Children, and The Children of the King's Revels, and they made their biggest impact during the reign of James I.
Shakespeare was part of The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Later called the King's Men, they first worked in The Theatre and then in the Globe. Performing to a potential audience of 3000 people, they required an interesting and varied stock of repertoire.
Each day the company presented a different play, rehearsing it in the morning before performing it in the afternoon. The quick change in repertoire meant that theatre was produced in a very different way to today.

Ever wonder what it takes to become a Skinny Minnie?
Is there a trick? Something you've been missing out on? Well, maybe. But it's also adjusting your lifestyle and wanting it for YOURSELF.
Let me start from the beginning. My name is Katie, but I've been called Minnie my whole life by my parents. I'm a health and fitness lover, and Skinny Minnie Meals machine!
By day I work as a surgical Physician Assistant in Baltimore, by night I work as a beast in the gym! This past year I have lost around 40-45 pounds, turned into a Skinny Minnie, and gained beautiful muscle tone by learning to cook smart healthy meals, and keeping my heart rate up in the gym. I wasn't always this way. I am a typical woman. I've yo-yo'd for the past 10 years with my weight, been at "too thin" lows and then gained it right back. I then wondered why can't I keep it off? What am I not doing here?
It wasn't until the end of summer in 2012 that I decided to make a change in my workout habits. LIFTING! Ladies please don't cringe at this. It's a question I am asked every single day "Why do I have to lift? I'm scared I will bulk up like a guy". This is physically impossible for the female body to do unless you take some sort of steroid or supplement. Our bodies are physically and genetically different than men. We do not have the same amount of hormones. The level of testosterone that a woman has in her body is equal to the amount a 10 year old boy has. Have you ever seen a huge 10 year old boy with bulky muscles? Me neither!
Each day I post my detailed workouts, with how much weight I lift, and how many repetitions and sets I complete. Think of it as a free personal trainer! My posts are loaded with inspirational and progress pictures and I also feature a daily original Skinny Minnie recipe. These are healthy foods that are friendly on your waist line and taste good too! You'll also follow my life as a full time working gal and mommy to my puppy Phoebe Buffay (yes that's her name).My blog focuses on bringing awareness to women that lifting should be a part of their daily fitness routine. Whether you want to lose weight, firm up, or look like a sports illustrated model, it's the perfect way to do so. By gaining muscle, you speed up your metabolism and burn fat at a faster rate. Sounds like a good idea to me!
I work hard for my shape and healthy heart. I'm not the girl who is able to sit on the couch, eat a gallon of ice cream and still look fabulous. I have to earn it! Plus, lifting has changed my life and the way I see myself. I feel strong, beautiful, and ready to tackle the world! It has done wonders for my self-esteem and made me happy all around.
So stop doing those endless amounts of cardio (yes mixing it in is fine, we still have to do it!), and pick up a weight! It's the key to success.
I hope to inspire women everywhere that BUFF IS BEAUTIFUL!
My favorite Skinny Minnie recipes:
The Katie Wrap- Vegetarian Friendly!
Almond Crusted Chicken Tenders
Clean Eating Corn Chowder- Vegetarian Friendly!

Bradley Whitford back to NBC for buddy sitcom
It'll be a single-camera style comedy, telling the story of a veteran, once legendary police detective who has fallen on hard times. He's then paired up with a younger up-and-comer, a straight shooter, played by Malco.
This sounds like a somewhat familiar formula, so what will make or break this project is the chemistry and comic fireworks between the principals.
Fortunately, we've seen that both these guys are very funny. Bradley is more of the name, clearly, but Romany Malco is a face that most everyone will recognize from big screen comedies, Baby Mama and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, as well as TV's Weeds.
Jason Mantzoukas of Upright Citizens Brigade is writing the show. Off Duty has been greenlighted for production following a cast-contingent pilot order in July.
From the looks of things right now, Kath and Kim will have a tough time making it beyond this season, and that's just the most obvious casualty in the NBC line up. Off Duty could definitely find a place on the roster for 2009.

Marine Corps test pilot Lt. Col. Matt Taylor ascends in F-35C test aircraft CF-2 June 13. The flight was the first night takeoff for the carrier variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and evaluated the aircraft's night lighting system. The F-35C carrier variant of the Joint Strike Fighter is distinct from the F-35A and F-35B variants with its larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear to withstand catapult launches and deck landing impacts associated with the demanding aircraft carrier environment. The F-35C is undergoing test and evaluation at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., prior to delivery to the fleet.
