Grad Profiles highlight the personal and professional stories of Founder Institute Graduates from across the globe.
This profile on Kaliki, a graduate of the San Diego Founder Institute, was written by Emma Tzeng. Founded in 2009 by Bruce Hopkins and Tirrell Payton, Kaliki makes commutes more productive by providing audio news content that can be accessed directly from customers' personal vehicles.
Working America spends a significant chunk of time with its personal vehicles: a study by WNYC found that the average American commutes over 25 minutes to the office everyday. Chances are, a significant percentage of these commuters bide the time by catching up on the news.
San Diego-based startup Kaliki wants to make commutes more productive by providing audio news content that can be accessed directly from customers' personal vehicles. This way, users can hear from their favorite news sources from the convenience of their own cars.
Founded by Bruce Hopkins and Tirrell Payton in 2009, who both come from technology backgrounds, Kaliki is already making large strides in the industry: earlier this year, the startup sealed a deal with Nissan that makes it possible for Ford Sync AppLink service subscribers to use Kaliki's app.
To activate the Kaliki app, drivers simply need to ensure that their smartphone is Bluetooth-paired with Ford's SYNC technology, then press the voice button on the vehicle's steering wheel to voice-request the app. After Kaliki launches, drivers can select their publication of choice by saying the name of the publication out loud, and the app will play the list of available stories from that source.
Available on Android and iPhone, Kaliki has distribution partnerships with major North American publications such as TV Guide, CBS News, Los Angeles Times, American Public Media, and more. For a more dynamic, engaging listening experience, Kaliki's stories are narrated by professionals, who essentially "act out" stories instead of simply reading them.
As mobile becomes more intertwined with our everyday habits and lifestyles, Kaliki is positioned to lead the charge, making it easier for customers to integrate their mobile devices into their daily routines in a functional, valuable way.
Learn more about Kaliki:
Kaliki is a graduate of the San Diego Founder Institute, which is currently accepting applications for the Autumn Semester. To learn more, join us for Startup Pitch Bootcamp, on Thursday, 9/19 at the Von Liebig Entrepreneurism Center at UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering. Click here to RSVP.

This weekend in Portland, SPACE Gallery is screening the Oscar-nominated documentary, "How To Survive A Plague." It's the story of how AIDS activists turned the tide on the epidemic, demanding action and helping to identify and push through new drugs that turned AIDS into something people could live with and manage, rather than being faced with an automatic death sentence. One of those featured prominently in the film is Peter Staley, who quit his job on Wall Street to become a full-time AIDS activist. Staley is in Portland to speak at the film's screening tonight at SPACE. He spoke with MPBN'S Ed Morin.
MPBN's Ed Morin talks with Wall Streeter-turned AIDS activist Peter Staley, who is featured in the Oscar-nominated documentary, "How To Survive A Plague." Staley will speak tonight at a screening of the film at Portland's SPACE Gallery.

Warlock (The Warlock's Hairy Heart)
this wiki
|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "We wizards seem particularly prone to the idea that we can bend the nature of existence to our will. The young warlock in this story, for instance, decides that falling in love would adversely affect his comfort and security. He sees love as a humiliation, a weakness, a drain on a persons's emotional and material resources."
- —Albus Dumbledore speaking about the warlock.[src]
A warlock is the main character and anti-hero of wizarding tale The Warlock's Hairy Heart, written by Beedle the Bard and included in The Tales of Beedle the Bard.[1] He was described as handsome, skilled, and rich young, but also cold and aloof, considering love to be a weakness and thus going to lengths to stop himself falling in love.
Removal of his heart
Believing that love is a useless thing that weakens one's power, the warlock tried to use Dark Arts to stop himself from falling in love. He removed his heart and placed it in an enchanted crystal casket deep within his castle's dungeons, while keeping himself alive without the vital organ inside his body.[1]
Courtship of the maiden
Due to his servants' taunting, the Warlock decides to find a beautiful, wealthy, and powerfully magical wife, so that he would be envied by all. He meets such a maiden the very next day. The maiden was fascinated as well as repelled by the Warlock, but agrees to attend a feast at his castle. The Warlock attempts to flatter her, but she confronts him saying that she would only believe these lovely words if he had a heart. So the Warlock takes her down to the dungeon of the castle and shows her the enchanted crystal casket, within which lay his own, still beating heart.[1]
The maiden's murder
Due to the fact that the heart has been parted from its owner's body for so long, it has become shriveled and hairy. The maiden asked him to put the heart back inside his chest, and so he does. The maiden is so pleased that she runs forwards and embraces him. However, the heart had become horrible and wicked in the long time that it was separated from the body. The touch of her arms, the sound of her breath in its master's ear, and the scent of her golden hair pierced it, making the Warlock murder the witch.[1]
- "...he fell across the maiden's body, and died."
- —The Warlock's death[src]
Later, guests at his castle found the Warlock was sitting crouched over the maiden, caressing and licking her heart, while she lay dead with her chest cut open. He was trying to swap her heart with his; however, his hairy heart was strong, and would not allow it. Not wanting to be controlled by his heart, the Warlock grabbed a silver dagger, and cut open his chest, and ripped it out. For a brief moment, the Warlock knelt victorious as he held a heart in each hand, before he fell over the maiden's corpse, and died.[1]
The Maiden
- "The warlock's heart felt nothing at all. Nevertheless, she was the prize he sought, so he began to pay her court."
- —The Warlock's thoughts on the maiden[src]
The Warlock met the maiden who answered his every wish the day she arrived in the neighborhood to visit her kinsfolk. Despite the fact that he felt nothing for her, the Warlock considered her as the prize he sought, and started to court her. He invites the young maiden to a feast in his castle, in which he speaks to her using sweet and caring words, meanings of which he has no idea. She confronts him saying that she would only believe the lovely words if he proved he had a heart. The Warlock then took her to the deepest dungeon to show his most valuable treasure, his own beating heart. The maiden was terrified by the shrunken, hair-covered heart, and told the Warlock to put it back in his chest. Once he had done so, however, and the smell of her hair as well as the beauty of her skin pierced his newly awakened heart. The maiden is then brutally murdered at the hands of the Warlock, in a failed attempt to exchange his hairy heart for hers.[1]
- "All will change, when a maid catches his fancy!"
- —The Warlock's parents[src]
Unaware of his secret, the Warlock's parents ridiculed his cold and aloof behavior. In due course, they died. The Warlock did not mourn them; he considered himself blessed by their demise, as he now reigned alone in their castle and could transfer his greatest treasure to the deepest dungeon, without their knowledge and interference.[1]
- "The first freshness of youth waned, and the warlock's peers began to wed, and then to bring forth children. 'Their hearts must be husks,' he sneered inwardly as he observed the antics of the young parents around him, 'shriveled by the demands of these mewling offspring!'"
- —The Warlock's opinion of his peers' decision to have children[src]
The Warlock observed that his friends became foolish as they fell in love, therefore did not want to not fall prey to such weakness, resorting to the Dark Arts to cut out his own heart, so that he would never love. As his peers began to wed, and bring forth children, he deemed their parental antics as foolish, and then congratulated himself upon the wisdom of his early choice.[1]
- "Their words dealt dreadful blows to the listening warlock's pride."
- —Warlock after the lackey's discussion.[src]
The Warlock was proud to have no wife, until he heard two of his lackeys discussing their master. The first lackey felt pity for the Warlock for he was beloved by nobody. The second lackey jeered, asking why a man with so much gold and a palatial castle has been unable to attract a wife. Their words made the Warlock lose his pride. To restore it, the Warlock wanted to find a wife superior to all others. The very next day, he met the Maiden. [1]
Physical appearance
- "The maiden was terrified by the sight of it, for the heart was skrunken and covered with long black hair."
- —The Warlock's Hairy Heart[src]
The warlock is described as having long, dark and straight hair, and while he might have been very handsome, rich, and talented, this belied his true nature of cold selfishness. When his heart parted with his body for a long time, it grew shriveled and hairy.[1]
- "In seeking to become superhuman this foolhardy young man renders himself inhuman. The heart he has locked away slowly shrivels and grows hair, symbolizing his own descent into beasthood. He is finally reduced to a violent animal who takes what he wants by force, and dies in a futile attempt to regain what is now forever beyond his reach -- a human heart."
- —Albus Dumbledore[src]
Personality and traits
- "The hero in this tale, however, is not even interested in a simulacrum of love that he can create or destroy at will. He wants to remain forever uninfected by what he regards as a kind of sickness, and therefore performs a piece of Dark Magic that would not be possible outside of a storybook: He locks away his own heart."
- —Albus Dumbledore[src]
The Warlock was a proud, arrogant, and cold young man who decided that falling in love would adversely affect his comfort and security. He sees love as a humiliation, a weakness, a drain on a person's emotional and material resources. He is pushed to search for "a wife superior to all others" only to salvage his pride, which was severely wounded when he overheard what his servants had to say about him. At the end of the story, the Warlock had turned mad, and killed himself so he would never be mastered by his own heart.[1]
Magical abilities and skills
- "There was once a handsome, rich and talented young warlock, who observed that his friends grew foolish when they fell in love, gambolling and preening, losing their appetites and their dignity."
- —The Warlock[src]
The Warlock is a Dark Wizard, using Dark Arts to remove his heart, while managing to keep himself alive. This ability is somewhat similar to how horcruxes operate, and is considered impossible outside of a storybook. His lack of understanding of love's powerful aspect has led to his ultimate downfall.

Where did Notre Dame's 2013 grads land in the NFL?
NOTRE DAME — Some are moving across the country, some are moving across the state line and some find themselves on a new team alongside a familiar face.
The six former Irish players who heard their names called from Radio City last weekend mark Notre Dame's best draft class since 2007. Over the course of last week, eight undrafted free agents received phone calls with invitations to rookie mini camps, which marks 14 Irish grads with a shot at the NFL this year.
While some like No. 21 overall pick Tyler Eifert got a phone call in the middle of an NFL Draft party, surrounded by friends, family and former teammates, others, like wide receiver Robby Toma, got word in the middle of the night.
"Blessed to get a wake up call at 4 a.m. from the Ravens," Toma Tweeted Monday, April 29, morning. "Got a lot to prove this weekend!! Thank you Lord for this opportunity!"
Punter Ben Turk became the 14th and final Irish graduate to receive an invitation to a rookie camp on Tuesday, April 30. Turk joins fellow undrafted free agent and former Notre Dame player Cierre Wood with the Houston Texans.
Eifert and receiver John Goodman, who have played on the same football team since their days at Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger High School, will join forces again at Cincinnati, while Toma joins defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore in Baltimore. Safety Jamoris Slaughter and center Braxston Cave were both selected by the Cleveland Browns.
Linebacker Manti Te'o, a second-round draft pick to San Diego, lands the furthest away from South Bend but the closest to his native Hawaiian home. Te'o trades in his signature No. 5 for No. 50 with the Chargers, which seems to suggest "Hawaii 5-0."
"I think it'll all start to kick in when I see my jersey and my helmet in my locker," Te'o told U-T San Diego. "To see that bolt on that helmet, I think that's when it'll finally hit me that I'm playing for the San Diego Chargers (and) I'm fulfilling a lifelong dream."
Here's a full list of where each 2013 grad is heading and when he was selected:
Tyler Eifert, tight end, Cincinnati Bengals (first round, 21st overall)
Manti Te'o, linebacker, San Diego Chargers (second round, 38th overall)
Jamoris Slaughter, safety, Cleveland Browns (sixth round, 175th overall)
Theo Riddick, running back, Detroit Lions (sixth round, 199th overall)
Kapron Lewis-Moore, defensive end, Baltimore Ravens (sixth round, 200th overall)
Zeke Motta, safety, Atlanta Falcons (seventh round, 224th overall)
Cierre Wood, running back, Houston Texans (undrafted free agent)
Mike Golic Jr., offensive line, Pittsburgh Steelers (undrafted free agent)
Braxston Cave, center, Cleveland Browns (undrafted free agent)
John Goodman, wide receiver, Cincinnati Bengals (undrafted free agent)
Jordan Cowart, long snapper, Washington Redskins (undrafted free agent)
Robby Toma, wide receiver, Baltimore Ravens (undrafted free agent)
Dayne Crist, quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs (undrafted free agent)
Ben Turk, punter, Houston Texans (undrafted free agent)

Seems like a winner so far
By Apartment Cat Owner
from Los Angeles, CA
I got two designs: the tropical fish and the love birds, both of which are adorable and vibrantly colored. They seem very durable. The only thing I don't like, as other reviewers have mentioned, is the thick plastic tag ring, which I couldn't easily attach tags to. I'm only using one for now because I was able to add a small metal ring to use instead of the one included. I couldn't figure out how to remove/break off the plastic one so at least it seems pretty durable for those who do prefer to use it.
nice looks great

Love this collar
By Jenni
from Baton Rouge, LA
I love this cat collar. My cat was always removing his collar. This collar is wider and stays on.
Size may matter
By Interspecies Parent
from Eugene, OR
It is a good, sturdy adjustable collar. My cat wears the reflective one even though he only goes out on a harness and leash (not a good idea to use a leash with breakaway collars). It does a good job of reflecting light so he is more findable if we get separated in an emergency, but I would not depend on it to protect him from cars. It is wide so his hair doesn't hide it. It does seem a little too stiff and wide for a cat, but maybe it will loosen up in time. The loop is hard plastic (which may get brittle) and is really big (which cats tend to get caught on things). I attached a smaller metal ring instead.
keeps kitty safe!
By vanessa
from indianapolis,in
My cats are indoor/outdoor cats that like to go out in the evenings after we get home from work. I feel much better knowing that Harley has a reflective collar - I plan on buying another one for my other cat.

Black cat not invisible at night
By Helkat
from Mountain View, CA
Boo is a completely black, outdoor 11 year old cat whose previous collars (with elastic) were immediately left on fences. This collar releases when needed. I bought the reflective version for obvious reasons. By the way, his vet thought it was brilliant to have the reflective version.
Kitty Collar
By Jojo
from Flowery Branch, GA
I actually ordered 4 collars with different designs. They work all great but actually one of them was not staying attach to Puffy my smallest cat. I am not sure if it's a defect one because the other one works all great and stay on.The designs are really nice also and my cats look great!

Foods Your Heart Will Love
Tired of being TOLD what you can't have? Your heart -- and your taste buds -- will thank you for eating these delicious and healthy foods.
Tired of being told what you can't have? Your heart -- and your taste buds -- will thank you for eating these delicious and healthy foods. Cut back, don't eat, avoid, limit, eat less of, stay away from, forbidden… There are plenty of negative words to keep our cravings in check. We lecture ourselves because heart disease is a top killer, so why wouldn't we do whatever we could to prevent it? However, a dinner out or even a trip to the grocery store can be a frustrating experience as we mentally cross off foods that are on our diet's black list. It's time to turn that thinking around and stop focussing on the negatives. While there isn't one particular food that can protect the heart on its own, here's a quick overview of foods you can't get enough of:
We're always told to eat more vegetables, and with good reason. The nutrients and dietary fibre — not to mention low calorie count and little (if any) fat — make them a smart choice. There is a lot of research about the many health benefits of various kinds of vegetables, but it all boils down to this: Eat a variety of colours (especially orange, red and dark green vegetables like tomatoes and leafy greens) and eat a lot of them. Many of us have a good helping at dinner time, but we need to incorporate more veggies into our routines — like mushrooms and peppers in a breakfast omelette, a sandwich heaped with vegetable toppings at lunch and vegetable sticks (perhaps with a healthy dip) for a snack. Stir fries, grilled vegetables and salads are an easy way to get some variety — and they make great leftovers for lunch the next day.
You probably know much of the conventional wisdom about fruit: Citrus provides a vitamin C punch, whole fruit is better than juice, and dried fruit makes a sweet alternative to candy. Berries are a rich source of vitamin C, fibre and anti-oxidants, and cranberries prevent urinary tract infections. Purple grapes are also top the list of tasty and beneficial foods. But do you know how to sneak more of them into your diet? Dieticians such as Leslie Beck, author of Heart Healthy Foods for Life, recommend making fruit part of your routine — like regularly having a serving or two at breakfast or as a snack. Try slicing up some fruit for a salad with those dark leafy greens and top with a healthy oil and vinegar dressing. Toss some fruit — dried or fresh — into your baking or onto your morning cereal, and opt for marinated or grilled fruit for dessert. If you're serving a crowd, fruit platters with a low-fat dip are sure to be a hit (especially when the temperatures climb). Admittedly, fruits and vegetables can get a little monotonous, so branch out and try something new. Try exotic fruits and vegetables for more variety. (They can be more expensive, so use them as an accent in mixed dishes).

AIKEN, S.C.---Gregory Mallory feels that pain that most Americans feel right now. It's the pain that comes from rising gas prices. As the prices continue to climb each day, Mallory feels that his life is changing too.
"I don't know what we're going to do for the summer," he told News 12 "Guess we're going to cut out vacations or something like that."
The fighting in Libya and the unrest in the Middle East seem to be the culprits, and the results can be felt by the average American at the fuel pump.
"I think that our government should do whatever it takes to help ease the crisis some to help America first, and everything else would have to come second," said Vernon Summer, owner of United Automotive & Performance in Aiken. He hopes President Obama will open up America's oil reserves, but in the meantime, he's reducing fuel prices through other methods.
Summer says the first step is maintaining the right tire pressure.
"We see it all the time," he said. "People come in, tires nowhere near where they should be."
His second and third steps to saving gasoline are cleaning air filters and having your car serviced regularly.
Summer also says that driving cheaper primarily involves driving smarter. He recommends smooth stops and accelerations.
"It makes a big difference," Summer said.
He also says simply driving less may be the best answer of all.
Back at the pump, Mallory says he has tried to drive less but has a better answer.
"Buy a smaller car," he joked.

The trail of a torpedo is tricky to do because it combines fluid dynamics, surface and volume rendering as well as fog and light scattering. The technique used in the above Maya scene is to have one fluid that renders both as a volume and a surface mesh. The overall underwater fog was done with a second non-dynamic fluid.
The first step was to create a 3d fluid with an emitter. The emitter was then modified to be a cylindrical volume that emits both density and speed( see "fluidEmitter1" in the scene). The speed emission simulates the thrust of the propeller using "Along Axis", while a little bit of "Around Axis" simulates the rotational effect. Turbulence on the emitter is also used with a relatively fast speed setting. Fluid dropoff is disabled so emission is uniform within the volume. Motion streak is enabled so that as the torpedo moves the emission does not strobe or form bands. The translation of the emitter was then animated ( the torpedo was parented to the emitter, but one could easily have done it the other way round). To better handle high speed thrust the substeps on the fluid node was increased. (although in this case it probably would be OK with lower substeps than were used)
Auto resize is enabled on the fluid to make things more efficient. All boundaries are set to "None" and the resize margin set to 2 to help keep boundaries from affecting the solve. High detail solve combined with density noise helps to provide detail in the flow without needing too high a fluid resolution. One then needs to do trial and error to determine good emission rate, density dissipation, density noise, and density buoyancy. I also added a little velocity noise.
In order to get specular highlights I created a mesh from the fluid using "Modify: Convert: Fluid To Polyons". This initially enables "intermediateObject" on the fluid shape node, which keeps it from rendering. However in this case the effect of the volume combined with the surface is desired so navigate to you fluid shape and turn off intermediate object to make it visible again. On the fluid you may wish to lower the mesh resolution to make things faster and keep the poly count low. Also the surface threshold on the fluid should be adjusted carefully for the best effect (which will depend on the transparency of your fluid). One needs to assign a shader with specular highlights that is totally or very transparent("blinn1" in this scene). On the fluid shape you should enable visible in reflections/refractions in the render options(this is on by default for most other nodes, but is off on fluids for render speed). In order to add detail a volumeNoise bump map was applied .I would avoid enabling refractions on the shader as it is hard to integrate this well with the volume fluid render.
On the fluid selfShadow was enabled and realLights was turned off( is simpler and a bit faster to render ), using the internal direction light. The direction was set to ( 0,1,0 ) to model the overhead lighting. Ambient brightness was set quite high. One needs to carefully adjust the transparency along with shadow opacity, light and ambient brightness and color.
For the underwater fog effect I used a second, non-dynamic fluid (i.e. one with everything in contents methods set to OFF). I tried to get some of the scattered light effect off of the bubbles by creating a large fluid for the fog parented to the main bubble emitter. (see fluidShape2, under fluid1:fluidEmitter1) If you want to see this fluid you can set "Shaded Display" to "As Render" on fluidShape2. The color ramp input is set to center gradient and the color at the very center is light blue quickly falling off to dark blue. The transparency of this fluid is slightly tinted blue which is important for the colors of objects in the fog( in addition to the color ramp value). Opacity input is simply set to constant, with the right hand opacity ramp indice lowered to a desired opacity. Again real lights is turned off, and with shadows off there is no shadowing of this fluid. One might try using a stationary fog fluid illuminated by a moving light that has fast decay instead of moving it with the torpedo as was done in this scene. You could use the built in point light on the fluid or perhaps a linked linear light. Note that because this fluid was so large I needed to increase the shading quality on it to properly capture the color gradient. Otherwise the transparent outmesh of the fluid used for specular highlights became visible. This is because the integration of volume spans through the fluid is different for a single span than two spans( a transparent surface splits a span) when the shading quality is not high enough to fully resolve the shading inside the fluid. As with the bubble fluid, enable "visible in refractions".
To further fake the scattering of light from the bubbles into the water I added a tiny amount of shader glow on the bubble fluid. In general always turn off auto-exposure on the shaderGlow node(in hypershade) then hand adjust the glow and halo intensity... usually you need to lower them a lot. This avoid flicker during animation. As well set the shaderGlow quality to a high value( like 20).
Finally I added the sub and collided it with the bubble fluid (select sub and fluid then do "fluid: make collide"). In order to create a little blast in the tube at launch I animated the density pressure up for the first few frames. I also animated higher substeps to allow fast motion.
I just rendered this sequence without first caching the fluid, but it is safer generally to cache first then render and usually important if you are rendering on a farm.
Something that might be nice to add might be a bit of depth of field, slightly blurring things in the distance. Motion blur would also help, but might not be needed if there was depth blurring.
One might also add some floating particles for debris or fine bubbles and perhaps use the fluid as a field on the particles, setting conserve near zero on the particle shape. Use cloud type particles for better render integration with the fluids. Note that in some cases to get good render integration of the particles with the fluids you may need to enable "Volume Samples Override" and set volume samples on the fluid shapes.
Perhaps using real lights and incorporating a directional light with raytraced shadows could also help: At launch it is noticable that the fluid is bright inside the launch tube, where it should be shadowed by the sub. If you need to use many lights it is a good idea to link lights to your fluid, as many lights will wash out the shading if they don't have raytraced shadows, or be slow to render if they do.

Hi All,
Please familiarise yourselves with the submission guidelines posted in the TV.com Guidelines Center found in the General user support forum before submitting information to this guide.
Below are the person submission guidelines from the Guideline Center as a reminder, but please be sure to read the full guidelines using the link above.
If you have read the guidelines and still have a question about a submission, please feel free to PM me.
TV.com Person Submission Guidelines
TV.com Person Submission Guidelines
Place of Birth, Full Name, Birth Name, Date of Birth, Date of Death, Cause of Death, etc., should all be submitted here rather than as Trivia.
A brief Biography should sum up the person's career,have unique content rather then restate material already on the page, and be roughly 50+ words long and contain two or more sentences.
Copy / Paste Material
As per Terms of Use, all material submitted unless otherwise noted must be the contributor's own content, and stated in their own words. If the bulk of at least one sentence can be found on another site using a search engine, the submission will be rejected.
You should provide a specific source for all material. If there is a URL, provide the complete URL (rather than just "wikipedia"). If you don't and staff can't verify the information, your submission will be rejected with a request for the source.
Stick to facts about the person's life, not yours or anyone else's opinions. Don't use exclamation marks on Trivia and Biography entries. Alternately, if you're citing a source for a commonly held opinion, provide that source. Vague statements like "People think" or "Critics say" are not acceptable.
Unacceptable: Frank Jones is the greatest actor of all time!
Acceptable: Readers in the March 2005 issue of Entertainment Weekly voted Frank Jones the greatest actor of all time.
Movie / TV / Play Titles
Movie, TV, and play show titles must be italicized, bolded, or in quotation marks as per tv.com standards. If one of these formats is already in use on the page, stick with that.
Outside of quote identifiers, do not italicize, bold, or otherwise special format names of people, institutes, etc.
Always assume the reader knows nothing about the person you're writing for and what they've been in. Even if they're in a single show, that may change in the future.
Unacceptable: Bob was chosen because he impressed the director with his skills.
Acceptable: Bob was chosen for the role of "Jim Bob" on Who Wants to Be a Pig Farmer? because he impressed director Samantha Smith with his pig-slopping skills.
Quotes should be interesting and give the readers insight about the person's life, values, beliefs, etc. As with Trivia, submitting 20 Quotes is often as bad as submitting none.
Quotes can be cut-n-pasted for the purposes of accuracy, and as copyright law does not cover public statements. Q&A-type copyrighted interviews belonging to web sites, magazines, etc., in part or in whole, are not acceptable. Wholesale cut-n-paste from another site's copyrighted database is not acceptable.
Quotes should always be formatted to tv.com standards. The name is bolded using HTML start and end tags, the colon is not. At least one space follows the colon. The quotation itself is not in quotation marks. Contextual material is italicized and separated from the bulk of text using brackets or parentheses. If another format is use on the page, please correct it.
If you are changing a quote's format to make it consistent with the majority of the quotes on the page, please note that in Comments.
Quotes should be the person's own words about their own life or someone who influenced their life. Quotes from their TV shows and/or movies are typically not acceptable (see below). Reviewer comments about the person are not acceptable.
Quotes from a person's books, scripts, stand-up routines, stage performances, etc., are not acceptable except for one or two well-known quotes or catch phrases.
Provide context for the quote. An actor talking about "he," "she," "my show," etc., means nothing to most readers.
Unacceptable: Joe Smith: He is my idol and inspiration.
Acceptable: (about George Washington) Joe Smith: He is my idol and inspiration.
Reference to Time Submissions
All material submitted should be in complete sentences. This includes a subject noun (the person's first name, full name, or simply he/she) and a period at the end of the sentence.
General submissions with no reference to time should be reworded. The words "currently" and "recently" and "now" tell the reader nothing about when the event occurred.
Unacceptable: Is currently married to Mary Jo
Acceptable: As of 2006 he is married to Mary Jo Smith.
Trivia should be obscure but interesting. Keep in mind that not all readers may be fans of the person, and submitting 20 Trivia items is often as bad as submitting none. As with quotes, taking another site's copyrighted compilation/database of trivia is a violation of tv.com policy and copyright.
Trivia should typically be about the person you're submitting for. Unless it has a direct bearing on the person's life, what their mother, grandfather, dentist, etc., did is not acceptable.
Trivia should be confirmed facts, not rumors. News about future events is iffy and it's typically better to wait until such events have occured and can be confirmed.
Do not submit mailing addresses and off-site URLs
Please do not submit "Trivia" that can be easily determined by information already on the page such as birthdate (i.e., astrological signs, year of high school graduation, their current age, etc.).
Whenever possible, all related material should be combined into a single submission. This refers primarily to brief one-line items, but can include taking a Biography and breaking it up into separate Trivia submissions. This includes but is not limited to: movies and roles, sporting statistics and awards, physical description, family members, discographies, and favorites.
Unacceptable: (three separate submissions) "He played in the World Series in 1992."
"He played in the World Series in 1993." "He played in the World Series in 1994."
Acceptable: He played in the World Series from 1992-1994.

A military mind mean money
A criminal grind, nigga
A criminal grind mean hustle
You know
[Hook: 2Pac - repeat 2X]
We tradin war stories, we Outlawz on the rise
Jealous niggas I despise, look in my eyes
Now can your mind picture, a thug nigga drinkin hard liquor
This ghetto life has got me catchin up to God quicker
Who would figure that all I need was a hair trigger
Semi-automatic MAC-11 just to scare niggas
Pardon my thug poetry, but suckers is born everyday
And feared men grow on trees
Criminal ties for centuries, a legend in my own rhymes
So niggas whisper when they mention
Machiavelli was my tutor Donald Goines, my father figure
Mama sent me to go play with the drug dealers
Henceforth, we thug niggas and we came in packs
Every one of niggas strapped sippin on 'yak
In the back, my AR-15
Thuggin till I die, these streets got me cravin thorazine
My lyrics are blueprints to money makin'
Fat as that ass that honey shakin
[Hook] w/ Outlawz
I bust a trey-trey, buggin an' shit
They call it overthuggin and shit
But I was just a younger nigga;
Gettin older and lovin this shit
But what was I doin in this place?
To the fakes without a pistol in the first
Facin termination in the worst
But I figured to play the wall; to watch all these
Playa hatin niggas position for I could see 'em all
Made it up out of there, lucky to be here to tell you
But it'll never be a repeat people I'm tryin to tell you
[Edi Amin]
Now picture the scenery, I'm thugged out smokin greenery
Considered a B.G., but I'm off in this game somethin D-P
My eyes only see deez, that's why I'm young and burnt out
Learned the know how, well how to do now, by 18 turned out
And why I do it - the ridin and smokin
Collidin with foes - in the worst place;
Y'all shouldn'ta fucked with us, in the first place
Y'all real O.G.'s, droppin game to the youngsters
Y'all don't want no funk cause
Y'all be the next in the long line of war stories
I breaks them off with this gangsta war story tale
Stacking loot up in the coupe that I protect with a Mack 12
Slap my clip in the chamber; fool, your life's in danger
No one will remain when I come through dumping insane
Call me Bo Loc Major Pain, gun-slang and moving 'caine
I be the nigga that's pulling the trigger and dumping the hot ones up in your brain
More bigger balls than RuPaul, Thug Life ain't a ball
We bust that ass up against the wall (up against the wall)
Never been no sign for men call
How we bucks them down on the way to the ground
Ain't nothing but the hog in me
Plus, stompin' steel toed, killin' up hoes and keep mobbin' G
It ain't no calling the funk off
Don't be funking with my sawed off
Bust they dirty-ass drawers off
And had them bitch niggas hauled off
My whole family been raised, on shit that ain't okay
Ain't nothing on this earth will make a nigga like me stay
I'm reminiscing, and catchin flashbacks when niggas ran up
In my house and I was too young, to try to blast back
What happend then? No one would tell me since I was three
Heard that God took my peoples, now they living somewhere free
But fuck that, you got what's mines and I want that
Never drop my guard, been on the squad, since ways back
And now I'm sitting, holding in anger because my parents missing
Thugging Immortal, got some war stories for you
Now look at me - straight Outlaw Immortal
Never gave a fuck cause I was nobody's daughter
Outlawing from my tits to my clits, don't try to figure
Cause the murderous tendencies of my mind can't be controlled, nigga
So who's the bigger, who's the quickest killer?
Would you try to trip with my finger on the 9 milla
When I got you on kay-nine-fourths
Prayin to God as your life goes back and forth
We tradin war stories
[2Pac talking]
War stories nigga; hahaha, what players do
Thug Life, Outlaw Immortalz
Motherfucking 2Pac a.k.a. Makaveli
Can you feel me?
Just so you know, it's on Death Row
My niggas love that shit
Dramacydal in this motherfucker, heheheh
Yea nigga! Shout out to my niggas Fatal and Felony
C-Bo, the bald head nut, what?
You know what time it is
In this gem off of All Eyez On Me, 2Pac and his crew discuss near-death situations in the streets of South Central L.A., and speak of how their parents and government turned their backs on them. Rick Rock explains how he took advantage of an open window to get this track done.

Summer Class Registration at Vol State Livingston Open Now
Submitted on April 23, 2013 at 3:22 PM
Summer classes start soon at Volunteer State Community College at Livingston and registration is open now. Students will have 30 classes to choose from. They include general education courses, such as Anatomy and Physiology and English Composition and specialty classes, such as Microeconomics and Introduction to Animal Science. Some classes run for the entire summer from June 3 to August 10. Other classes run for the first five weeks, from June 3 to July 6. There is also a second five-week version from July 8 to August 10. The five-week courses are also intensive and best designed for students who can devote the required time and energy. Summer classes are offered in traditional versions, and also online and in hybrid formats, which combine online work with traditional classroom meetings. It's all designed to increase flexibility for the summer student, allowing them to fit college in with work, family and fun. Many students from other colleges, and those about to enter college, take Vol State classes while home for the summer.
Visit www.volstate.edu/schedule for the Livingston summer schedule and www.volstate.edu for information on how to apply and register. New students will need to fill out an application, which can be done online. Students can also visit in person at 113 Windle Community Road or call (931) 823-7065 or 800-563-8220.

TOPIC: Ethical duties concerning self-represented persons.
DIGEST: DR 7-104(A)(2) permits a lawyer to advise a self-represented person adverse to the lawyer's client to seek her own counsel and to make certain other related statements. These statements may include, where appropriate, identification of general legal issues that the self-represented person should address with a lawyer; undisputed statements of fact or law such as the position of the lawyer's client on a contested issue; and references to court-sponsored programs designed to assist a self-represented litigant. A lawyer may at any time explain or clarify the lawyer's role to the self-represented litigant and advise that person to obtain counsel. The lawyer must volunteer this information if she knows or should know that a self-represented person misunderstands the lawyer's role in the matter.

What are a lawyer's ethical duties when another party to a litigation or transaction is self-represented? Does the Code of Professional Responsibility limit what a lawyer may say to a self-represented person?
I. Introduction
Among the many changes to courts in the State of New York in the past two decades has been a sharp increase in the number of self-represented litigants. 1There are nearly 1.8 million self-represented litigants in the New York State Unified Court System, according to a recent estimate. See Hon. Judith S. Kaye, The State of the Judiciary 2007 at 18. 2 Undoubtedly, the widespread foreclosure and credit crises will further increase that number as more people, unable to afford legal representation, must nonetheless come to court to protect and assert their rights. Cf. Margery A. Gibbs, More Americans serving as their own lawyers, Associated Press News Wire, Nov. 11/25/08 (discussing the increasing numbers of self-represented litigants in domestic disputes).
Self-represented litigants provide many and varied challenges for tribunals. Some self-represented persons may have difficulty comprehending the rules and procedures of a tribunal. Others may not be able to adequately articulate facts, causes of action, or the relief they seek. Some may even misapprehend the respective roles of judicial officers, court personnel, or opposing counsel. The inexperience of self-represented persons can lead to additional litigation or motion practice, resulting in cost and delay for all parties, and sometimes an order setting aside an executed agreement. See, e.g., Cabbad v. Melendez, 81 A.D.2d 626, 626 (2d Dep't 1981) (vacating consent judgment "'inadvertently, unadvisably or improvidently entered into'" by self-represented, non-English-speaking tenant (citation omitted)); 600 Hylan Assocs. v. Polshak, 17 Misc.3d 134(A) (2d Dep't 2007) (table decision), text available at 2007 WL 4165282; see also Schaffer Holding LLC v. Fleming, 1 Misc.3d 131(A) (2d Dep't 2003) (table decision), text available at 2003 WL 23169883 (affirming order vacating stipulation).
Judicial response to the increase in self-represented litigants is ongoing and evolving. For example, state and federal courts in New York have opened offices to aid self-represented individuals appearing in their courtrooms. 3 Courses relating to self-represented litigants are now included in judicial training seminars. 4
There has, however, been little discussion of a lawyer's role when communicating with self-represented persons in the litigation and transactional contexts. This opinion considers whether the lawyer's duties to the court (e.g., DR 7-106, EC 7-13, EC 7-23, EC 9-4), the administration of justice (e.g., DR 1-102(A)(4)-(5), EC 2-7), and the lawyer's own client (Canons 4-7), require the lawyer to take proactive measures when dealing with an unrepresented person. We first address what communications between lawyers and their self-represented adversaries are permitted, and then articulate, consistent with the New York Code of Professional Responsibility (the "Code"), the newly-approved New York Rules of Professional Conduct and past precedent, a duty to warn self-represented persons who have objectively manifested their confusion about the opposing lawyer's role in a matter.
II. Discussion
A. What Communications Are Permissible Under DR 7-104(A)(2)
The Code explicitly recognizes that lawyers' encounters with self-represented litigants are inevitable. Indeed, Ethical Consideration 7-18 recognizes that attorneys acting on behalf of a client "may have to deal directly with" self-represented persons in a wide variety of transactional and litigation contexts.
The primary guidance the Code offers for managing these interactions is found in DR 7-104(A)(2) which provides in pertinent part:
During the course of representation of a client a lawyer shall not . . . . [g]ive advice to a party who is not represented by a lawyer, other than the advice to secure counsel, if the interests of such party are or have a reasonable possibility of being in conflict with the interests of the lawyer's client.
See also EC 7-18 (extending this obligation to an unrepresented "person"). 5
Even when the interests of a self-represented person "conflict with the interests of the lawyer's client," ethics opinions have construed this Code provision to permit more than a simple statement that the self-represented person should obtain counsel. For example, the New York State Bar Association Committee on Professional Ethics concluded that an executor of a will could, but was not required to, advise an unrepresented surviving spouse of the need to obtain a lawyer to address a legal issue, and also could identify the relevant issue (the spouse's potential right to take an election against the estate) to be addressed by the lawyer. See N.Y. State 477 (1977). Even though the executor might take a contrary position on that issue, the opinion concluded that "to remain silent in the face of the surviving spouse's expressed dissatisfaction with his testamentary share might seem somewhat unfair and could, under certain circumstances, tend to mislead." The opinion further stated that it would be permissible for a lawyer to freely provide to a self-represented non-client information that is "purely a matter of fact and non-privileged," so long as it otherwise would be ethically permissible to do so (e.g., no confidences or secrets would be revealed in violation of DR 4-101).
The New York County Lawyers' Association addressed a lawyer's ability to negotiate a settlement with an adverse party who had discharged her attorney. See N.Y. Cty 708 (1995). The opinion concluded that once an attorney had verified that the adverse party was no longer represented, she could communicate with the adverse party directly about the lawsuit and continue the negotiations -- but could not render any advice other than to secure counsel. The opinion cautioned, however, that under the circumstances presented, the attorney had an affirmative duty to advise the self-represented party to seek counsel while flagging a particular legal issue:
At the outset of their dealings, . . . inquirer should advise [the unrepresented] plaintiff that there may be legal issues, such as the possible [discharged] attorney's charging lien, affecting plaintiff's right to recovery under whatever settlement is reached and that plaintiff should consult a lawyer to advise him about such issues because inquirer is barred from doing so.
The inquiring attorney had expressed her concern that any settlement she reached with the unrepresented person might be affected by the charging lien of the former lawyer. Thus, it appeared that the inquirer's client could have been adversely affected had the unrepresented person failed to consider the impact of a potential charging lien before agreeing to a settlement.
More recently, the New York State Bar Association Committee on Professional Ethics recognized that in a governmental investigation, a government lawyer speaking to a self-represented person may, but is not required to, inform her of the need to retain counsel and alert her to the right against self-incrimination. See N.Y. State 728 (2000). The opinion reasoned that "the rule [DR 7-104(A)(2)] has been understood to allow a lawyer, additionally, to give certain non-controvertible information about the law to enable the other party to understand the need for independent counsel." Id. (citing N.Y. State 477 (1977) and N.Y. State 708 (1998); s ee also ABCNY Formal Op. 2004-3 (government lawyer "may advise" an unrepresented agency constituent of the "non-controvertible" legal proposition that "under no circumstances may the constituent testify falsely"). Concluding that the right against self-incrimination was such "non-controvertible information," and recognizing that a government attorney has a duty to "seek justice" even in civil matters (EC 7-14), the opinion stated that a government attorney "might reasonably conclude" that the government's "interest in dealing fairly with the public" warrants advising the unrepresented person to retain a lawyer even if a private attorney would be "disinclined" to do so.
Finally, the New York State Bar Association Committee on Professional Ethics examined the duties of a government lawyer when the other party to pending negotiations, although represented, was unaccompanied by its lawyers at a meeting. See N.Y. State 768 (2003). The opinion also considered the related issue of what a lawyer may do when she does not know that the other party is represented by counsel. Addressing a situation analogous to the lawyer who negotiates with a self-represented party, the opinion concluded that it would be permissible for the lawyer to describe her client's own position in negotiations. It further found that the lawyer would not violate DR 7-104(A)(2) by providing certain indisputable information to the unrepresented party, such as the filing requirements of the lawyer's agency client. See id.
The teachings of these opinions are, essentially, three-fold. First, a lawyer may, but need not, advise a self-represented party to retain counsel and identify the legal issues that could be usefully addressed by counsel. Second, the lawyer may be obligated to render this advice when it would advance the interests of her own client to do so. Third, the lawyer may, but need not, provide certain incontrovertible factual or legal information to the self-represented party, such as her client's own position in negotiations, non-negotiable procedural requirements for doing business, or the existence of a legal right such as the right against self-incrimination. We concur with each of these conclusions.
We also identify an additional option for matters pending before a court or other tribunal. In light of the efforts of a growing number of courts to provide support for self-represented litigants, we conclude that it is also appropriate for a lawyer to direct a self-represented adversary to any available court facilities designed to aid those litigants, such as an Office of the Self-Represented, or to a clerk or other court employee designated to orient the self-represented person through the litigation process. 7
B. Duty To Clarify the Lawyer's Role
A lawyer engaging in any of these permissible communications, or choosing not to make them, should remain mindful of the need to avoid misleading the self-represented party. See DR 1-102(A)(4) (forbidding "conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation"); DR 7-102(A)(5) (forbidding a lawyer from "[k]nowingly mak[ing] a false statement of law or fact" in representing a client); Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers (hereafter, "Restatement") § 103(1) (2000) (in dealing with a constituent of the lawyer's organizational client who is not represented by counsel, a lawyer "may not mislead the nonclient, to the prejudice of the nonclient, concerning the identity and interests of the person the lawyer represents"); cf.Niesig v. Team I, 76 N.Y.2d 363, 376 (1990) (stating, in the context of permissible interviews with self-represented employees of a lawyer's corporate client who could not bind the corporation, that "it is of course assumed that attorneys would make their identity and interest known to interviewees" and otherwise comport themselves ethically).
Refraining from misleading or deceptive conduct, however, may not be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Code in all dealings with self-represented persons. For some self-represented persons, further action may be necessary. In that regard, we conclude that a lawyer should be ready, when dealing with a self-represented person, to clarify when needed that the lawyer (a) does not and cannot represent the self-represented person; (b) represents another party in the matter who may have (or does have) interests adverse to the self-represented person; and (c) cannot give the self-represented person any advice, other than to secure counsel, or, as described above, to consult an available court facility designed to assist self-represented persons.
The lawyer may provide this clarification at any time without violating DR 7-104(A)(2), but we conclude that she must do so whenever she knows or has reason to know that the self-represented person misapprehends the lawyer's role in the matter. This may require the lawyer to repeat the clarification more than once. If the represented side of a case or transaction involves multiple individual attorneys, each attorney may have to explain her role in the matter. If the lawyer believes it necessary under the circumstances, the lawyer should also ask the self-represented person to confirm that she understands what the lawyer has told her.
Although research has not revealed any New York authority previously recognizing this duty to a self-represented person, we believe it is supported by existing ethics principles. The Restatement, for example, specifically recognizes the need to correct misunderstandings between lawyers and self-represented individuals when an organization's attorney deals with an unrepresented constituent of the organization. Restatement, § 103(2) ("[W]hen the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the unrepresented nonclient misunderstands the lawyer's role in the matter, the lawyer must make reasonable efforts to correct the misunderstanding when failure to do so would materially prejudice the nonclient."); s ee also ABCNY Formal Op. 2004-3 ("When a lawyer . . . retained by an organization is dealing with the organization's . . . constituents, and it appears that the organization's interests may differ from those of the constituents with whom the lawyer is dealing, the lawyer shall explain that the lawyer is the lawyer for the organization and not for any of the constituents") (citing DR 5-109(A). The nuances of client identity and the lawyer's role are easily misunderstood when the lawyer is representing an organizational client. However, we believe the same logic compels clarification whenever a self-represented person objectively manifests her misunderstanding of a lawyer's role. We therefore believe the duty should be extended as discussed in this opinion.
We depart from the Restatement's "material prejudice" standard, however, and conclude that a stronger approach is appropriate under the Code (and the newly-approved Rules). When a self-represented nonclient objectively manifests a belief that an attorney for an adverse or potentially adverse party is also acting as her own counsel, or attempts to solicit or accept guidance from that attorney on legal issues, there is an inherent risk of material prejudice to the nonclient and an element of unfairness that warrants a clear affirmative statement by the lawyer that she is not the nonclient's attorney. Moreover, we note, as the Restatement itself does, that failure to intercede when the self-represented person is acting under a misapprehension may adversely affect the interests of the lawyer's client. For example, there could be prejudicial delay or additional expense if, as the result of a failure to correct a material misimpression, issues need to be re-litigated, agreements set aside, or attorneys disqualified. Cf. Restatement § 103 cmt. e ("Failing to clarify the lawyer's role and the client's interests may redound to the disadvantage of the [client] if the lawyer, even if unwittingly, thereby undertakes concurrent representation . . . .").
In reaching this conclusion, we are mindful that not all self-represented persons are alike. Some may be highly sophisticated and experienced business people, capable of handling delicate negotiations or maneuvering through the court system unaided. Others may be relatively uneducated and intimidated by the procedures of our legal system. The lawyer should consider where a specific self-represented person falls along that continuum in evaluating whether she has a duty to explain or clarify her role.
A lawyer also should determine, based on the facts and circumstances presented, whether the explanation to be provided to the self-represented person should be in writing. Relevant factors include, but are not limited to, the extent to which self-represented person has demonstrated her misunderstanding of the lawyer's role, and the existence or threat of litigation, where failure to make a clear record of communications could be prejudicial to the lawyer's client.
III. Conclusion
DR 7-104(A)(2) permits a lawyer to advise a self-represented person adverse to the lawyer's client to seek her own counsel and to make certain other related statements. These statements may include, where appropriate, identification of general legal issues that the self-represented person should address with a lawyer; undisputed statements of fact or law such as the position of the lawyer's client on a contested issue; and references to court-sponsored programs designed to assist a self-represented litigant. A lawyer may at any time, explain or clarify the lawyer's role to the self-represented litigant and advise that person to obtain counsel. 8 The lawyer must volunteer this information if she knows or should know that a self-represented person misunderstands the lawyer's role in the matter.

1 Persons proceeding in legal matters without an attorney are often interchangeably referred to as "pro se," "self-represented," or "unrepresented." This opinion uses the term "self-represented person/party" to refer to non-attorneys who are representing themselves in a litigation or transaction in which one or more other persons are represented by counsel. Corporations may not appear self-represented in court in New York.
2 Informal surveys of court managers in the New York City Housing Court and New York City Family Court in 2003 revealed that "most litigants (Family Court, approximately 75%; Housing Court, approximately 90%) appear without a lawyer for critical types of cases: evictions; domestic violence; child custody; guardianship; visitation; support; and paternity." Office of the Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for Justice Initiatives, New York State Unified Court System, Self-Represented Litigants in the New York City Family Court and New York City Housing Court at 1, inSelf-Represented Litigants: Characteristics, Needs, Services: The Results of Two Surveys (Dec. 2005), available at http://www.nycourts.gov/reports/AJJI_SelfRep06.pdf. Similarly, survey respondents at the Town and Village Courts estimated in 2003 that 78% of litigants appeared without a lawyer "almost all or most of the time in small claims matters, 77% in vehicle and traffic cases, 47% in housing cases, 38% in civil cases, and 15% in criminal cases." Id., Services for the Self-Represented in the Town and Village Courts at 3 (emphasis in original).

5 The Justices of the four Appellate Divisions of the Supreme Court of the State of New York have approved and adopted new Rules of Professional Conduct (the "Rules"), which will become effective and replace the Code on April 1, 2009. Rule 4.3 provides: "In communicating on behalf of a client with a person who is not represented by counsel, a lawyer shall not state or imply that the lawyer is disinterested. When the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the unrepresented person misunderstands the lawyer's role in the matter, the lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to correct the misunderstanding. The lawyer shall not give legal advice to an unrepresented person other than the advice to secure counsel if the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the interests of such person are or have a reasonable possibility of being in conflict with the interests of the client." Although the term "legal advice" in Rule 4.3 suggests a narrower scope than the term "advice" in DR 7-104(A)(2), we see no need to discuss or resolve a possible distinction for the purposes of this opinion.
7 Although we believe that interactions between lawyers and self-represented persons typically will be far different than the relationship between a corporation's lawyer and the corporation's unrepresented employees that we addressed in ABCNY Formal Op. 2004-2, we acknowledge that there may be situations where a lawyer should not advise a nonclient to seek counsel. Indeed, we conclude that a lawyer is obligated to render such advice only where it is in the interest of the lawyer's client to do so, or the self-represented person has demonstrated confusion about the lawyer's role.
8 Nothing in this opinion alters a lawyer's duties under DR 7-106(B)(1) and EC 7-23, generally requiring a lawyer to advise the tribunal of controlling legal authority not cited by any other party, regardless of whether it is adverse to her client's position.

WASHINGTON, DC (www.incnow.tv) - United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice withdrew her name from consideration to be America's next secretary of state.
The ambassador was considered a favorite to succeed Secretary Hillary Clinton, but controversy overshadowed her candidacy, after she initially characterized the deadly attacks on a U.S. consulate in Libya as a spontaneous response to an anti-Muslim film.
An official close to the process told NBC's Andrea Mitchell that Senator John Kerry is now almost certain to follow Hillary Clinton as secretary of state.
