D. Action for Declaratory Relief Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2201
23. This is an action for declaratory relief with respect to the loyalty of City Paper readers in toto. The paper and its principals request that the court, using its powers under 11 U.S.C. 105(a) through 106(zz), assist the City Paper in the following manner, via a contract sub modo:
24. Protection from readers. The Debtors hereby request that the court, using its powers under 28 U.S.C. 2201, enjoin readers from doing anything that could damage the standing of the City Paper. In addition:
• An injunction barring any retail outlet in the Greater Washington region from turning down a rack of City Papers for distribution.
• An injunction barring further comments from "monkeyrotica." If the Court should decide not to order an outright ban on such postings, Debtors would request an interlocutory order requiring "monkeyrotica" to limit his/her postings to washingtoncitypaper.com. If the Court should decide not to issue such an interlocutory motion, Debtors would request that the Court certify "monkeyrotica" as non compos mentis.
• A nunc pro tunc order exempting City Paper from all areas of libel and privacy law. Publishers and editors of City Paper, arguendo, state that their editorial content would be more lively and interesting under such order.
• A Court order, pro bono publico, committing at least one Court clerk to a regimen of 20 hours per week providing assistance to City Paper in updating its database of local events listings.
WHEREFORE, the Debtors respectfully request that this Court enter judgment (i) enjoining the Readers preliminarily and then permanently from exercising any rights pursuant to any competing Web content, including the Sheriff Peanut Craftiest Bastard announcement, the "You Sing the Who" contest, or anything that seems more enticing than a 10,000-word profile of someone they've never heard of; and (ii) for attorneys' fees and costs and further any other relief as this Court deems necessary and just.
Respectfully submitted,

Read the press release.
Our Readers Say
As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of DC for at least 48 hours.
A. Will the printed weekly continue to exist or as less pages or become monthly or annual or millenial or whatever??
B. Will the website continue to exist and with what content and how will it differ from the printed material??
I appreciate your anger but please give some facts or turn your paper into the Onion or whatever. Snark and appearing to laugh at your audience is not a good way to retain readers.
Let it be known that we are now dedicated to providing the DC public with trivial bullshit all of the time as our editorial policy descends into that of pornography.
If CP no longer prints, what will I read on the Metro? Books? Nah. I'll have to switch to Avantgo web snippets on my PDA.
Your article did achieve one thing - it drove me to the website for the 1st time. I wonder if I can fit CP downloads into my Avantgo account as well. But then you won't get credit for my web clicks. A conundrum for the CP folks.
[Insert some PSA blather: now for the law according to all "wiki". Frolic: A frolic in the law of torts is where an employee acts on his/her own without obeying an order. When combined with a detour, where the employee makes a temporary physical departure from the service of his employer, the employer is not vicariously liable....]
True, I did miss the unique illustrations for columns like Savage Love... but I personally never complained about the newspaper's content. I invariably loved whatever they printed, and I can't believe that the readers of the paper would be so SNOBBISH about being "hipsters," as oxymoron as that seems.
I LOVE the long cover stories. Whenever I pick up the City Newspaper, that's the first thing I turn to! The articles are so probing, so intelligent, and cover such unique topics. You just don't, unfortunately, find this kind of journalism in many other places.
I haven't read the City Paper for a while since the venue in which I used to normally read it has been temporarily closed for a while, but until it reopens, I'm going to make it a point to read the City Paper whenever I can.
Just one criticism-- online hits DON'T correspond to absolutely how many people are reading the cover story, especially when you compare it to a blog that is ONLY available online. It should be obvious that most people are probably reading the cover story in the print version, as I do. I almost never read the paper online.
Every moment
I try to remember
the light af
an hidden report,
when my memory
outshines, when
your love disappears....
Francesco Sinibaldi
I have plenty of other online sources for news. I turn to the Citypaper to read about local events while riding Metro or sitting on the throne.
If more blog posts can help CP, I say, Let's do it!
The existence of blogs is fine, but no one should conofuse a blog with a news organization. We must have news, and more news, and if blogging on the CP Web site will help support that I am all for i t.
Thank you, CP, for hanging in there.
I am a regular reader of the Washington City Paper. I try to pick it up every Thursday evening at the Metro station on my trip home. Normally I'll read the paper either on the Metro or at a coffeeshop type of place.
I read pretty much all of the sections, but tend to merely browse over the theatre and movie sections. I always read the long article, and 90% of the time it's interesting and relevant. I did notice when the comics were pared down (at least you kept Dirt Farm) and the illustrations stopped changing. I suspected it was to cut costs, which this article confirmed. I do miss them, but understand their exclusion.
I regularly visit the washingtoncitypaper.com site for only two things - finding restaurant reviews and recalling articles from previous months. Frequency of visiting the site ranges from once a week to once a month. Other than those two things, I have no reason to go to the site. I just wait for the next issue to come out on Thursday.
I am sure there are a number of people who fall into the same category as me - loyal readers who read the paper edition every week, but simply do not need to go the Web site. Unless you can provide a reason - follow-up on long articles, perhaps - I'll continue to be a paper issue only reader.
your new overlords who managed to dive into bankruptcy less than one year later ought to apologize to DC. Why did I write that?
Life is so unfair. The Internet has ruined everything and when you put your stories on the web site no one reads them. But if you write enough housing and cellphone porn you may draw in enough new traffic to boost your page views a little. Did your chain dweebs tell you that? Yet?
You are a local pub and getting 6,000 people to read anything in this city is an accomplishment. I'm sure your traffic logs are mostly md-va-dc and that ought to be gold to advertisers, the smart ones at least, who know that you can bring in a local market.
Don't whine. Do what you do until they take the spoon away and then start your own blogs and rebuild this thing from the beginning. I know. No money, no health care but for emergency rooms. Bankruptcy, foreclosure, is the fate, ugh, but at least not the fast evaporation of pointless whatevers. Before you know it you're older, older still and dear lord now part of the perpetual crap machine industry.
Zen question: Why get into this business? A. Because you can't leave it.
Just remember to start your day with a healthy breakfast and this motto: chains suck; yell it your car, on the Metro and on your job. Big. But the power is out there and you got the power. Remember, do onto chains as they do onto you. John: chapter 11.
OMG, monkey, I need all that right now! CP editors, I call shotgun.
Are there no readers who care? The horrors!
Maybe the readers aren't at fault-- as this self-rationalizing parody suggests-- but the publication has lost touch with its community.
The CP has become a paper that more often than not seems to have written for the benefit of people who work there. If no one cared much for Jason Cherkis' story about his landlord, maybe it is because nobody but... Jason Cherkis and his landlord and their various attorneys gave a hoot!
Write something relevant, and readers will care...
You'd think that would mean that I'd go to the web site when the paper doesn't
show up but the reality is, I just don't. The last thing I need in my life is another website to read.
I guess I should just hope I live long enough to see the pendulum swing back to where people are starting up new newspapers because there's so little competition off-line.
Sandwiches, juices, vodka, Ho-Hos, wedges of good cheese, Greek yogurt - that sort of thing?
1) You spelled my name wrong. That's OK, everyone does. It was spelled wrong on my high school diploma and the personalized hockey jersey I received on my 18th birthday, among other things. (Fun fact: In the print media world, spelling someone's name wrong is considered a crucial error and cause for that most humbling of professional embarrassments, the correction. In the blogosphere, all you get is a "Whoops! My bad!" and a strike-through. How about that?)
2) I haven't worked at the Washington City Paper for months.
3) "Write something relevant, and readers will care... " Just in case you missed it, "7. Web traffic numbers have confirmed the editorial department's concerns. In early 2006, for instance, a City Paper staff writer began a written correspondence with a federal inmate named Thomas Sweatt, who was serving a life sentence for setting a series of fires in the Washington area. The letters continued for more than a year, as did a parallel investigation into the damage done by Sweatt's fire-setting. The investigation turned up two deaths from Sweatt's rampage that the public did not know about. The story would later win the Livingston Award. The paper posted the story, titled "Letters from an Arsonist," on washingtoncitypaper.com on June 1, 2007, since which point it has attracted 5,748 pageviews. Meanwhile, an item on the paper's blog titled "Obama, You've Got Something…." has attracted 10,128 pageviews in the past five weeks alone. The blog item was a commentary, written in a ranting style, on the appearance of a fragment of saliva on the face of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during his 2008 convention speech."
So much for "Write it and they will come," unless by "it" you mean a blog post spit on the side of Obama's mouth.
But they don't seem to get it at all. It's not the readers' fault. The one story they cite, "Letters from an Arsonist" was a rare exception to the kinda shit that is all too common. Rants and raves, attitude over reporting, self-interest over relevance, and a look a tendency by their writers to look at their own navels and think they are the story instead of the wider world around them.
My Defense (Pro-Se) exculpable injury – Democrats took my job! It was not the economy; it was NAFTA-GATT, now WTO!
I'm not guilty, it's that the cleaners was closed, I ran out of gas ......., I love you! (Blues Brothers movie)
Your articles have always captured my interests. The Firebug series is still the greatest; loved the article about (Vinnie) Vincent Orange (or should I say –unlicensed illegal gambling interest – pay off?).
Yes the "D.C. Fire Tuck and Ambulance fiasco is riveting (to yours truly).
Donte Owens – very good follow through!
Please add insight into the D.C. Superior Court, the (dishonorable) Judge, Judith Retchin (?). i.e. Jonathan Magbie's murder (my bad, D.C. Jail's cover-up, and the Court's escaping public scrutiny).
I had (two years ago) selected the WCP for advertising. (Your right about the intelligence of the general responses here :)
Again, a wonderful filing, in the Forth Estate!
Don't go .. Please stay.
Thank you,

IBM Vt layoffs estimated at more than 300July 04,2013
IBMs layoffs put
at more than 300
MONTPELIER The states labor commissioner estimated that IBM laid off more than 300 Vermont workers in its recent round of job cuts, but a firmer total should be known by the end of next week.
Annie Noonan said IBM is required to notify the Labor Department within 24 hours of job separations becoming final, which is set to happen July 12.
She said by then the state should have a reliable figure of the total job cuts made public last month.
IBM has a policy of not releasing layoff totals.
Noonan said her estimate of about 310 layoffs is based on the number of IBM employees who have been showing up at state-run seminars on seeking new work.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The Raiders built a 13-1 halftime lead before shifting into cruise control Thursday...

America's Pastor Billy Graham Talks About "Nearing Home" In Exclusive, Wide-Ranging Interview In Crown Financial Ministries' Do Well Magazine
ATLANTA, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In an exclusive one-on-one exchange now available in Crown Financial Ministries' Do Well magazine, America's pastor – famed evangelist Billy Graham – discussed the opportunities in retirement and the joys of "nearing home" in a question and answer exchange with Crown CEO Chuck Bentley. Rather than looking toward death with fear, Dr. Graham said, "I look forward to that day – not just because of the wonders I know Heaven holds in store for me and for every believer but because I know that finally all the burdens and sorrows that press down upon me at this stage of my life will be over." To his readers, Bentley observed, "I think you'll agree with me that if we compiled a short list of believers who one day will hear from the Lord Jesus, 'Well done, good and faithful servant,' evangelist Billy Graham would be on it!"The interview is in this issue of Do Well, a quarterly, free publication from Crown Financial Ministries, dedicated to providing readers with inspiration for their own successes, not only in their personal finances and careers but in service to their family and community. "The goal of Do Well is to equip our readers with stories and advice that will allow them to live a life truly worth living," said Crown's Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Bill Winter. This issue's special feature on Dr. Graham provides readers with insight into how one of America's most inspirational leaders is facing end of life issues, a reality that will affect all of us. Part of the secret to a meaningful life in retirement is knowing that there is still more to do, said Dr. Graham.

Less Is More: How I Cut My Resume To One Page
Posted on Monday, January 3rd, 2011
I (very) recently wrote about Eight Reasons Why You Need a One Page Resume. As an example of how you can cut down your resume, I wanted to provide an illustration of how you can, in fact, fit a lot of content on one page – without making your margins tiny.
Here's what I manage to fit on one page of my resume (view here):
- Three internships at Microsoft
- One internship at Apple
- Three years at Google
- One year at a start-up
- Founder / CEO of CareerCup
- Founder / Co-CEO of Seattle Anti-Freeze
- Author of Cracking the Coding Interview
- Author of The Google Resume
- Masters in CS from UPenn
- BSE in CS from UPenn
- Minor in Mathematics
- MBA from Wharton
- Former instructor for 1 CS course as an undergrad at UPenn
- Former instructor for 2 CS courses at the University of Washington
- Various activities: Principal at Wharton Ventures (VC Group), Yearbook Chair, Social chair of cohort, Finalist in venture capital competition
How did I fit all this on my resume? By being very, very selective:
- CUT: College projects. They're coding projects. I've demonstrated that I'm highly technical by having other software engineering positions. It just doesn't matter any more – particularly as I'm not applying for coding jobs.
- CUT: TA / Head TA at Penn for 4 years. While being a TA / Head TA does show some valuable communication and other skills, I have already demonstrated that through other activities (such as being an instructor at UPenn / UW).
- CUT: Hobbies. It's not that no one would care that, say, I enjoy playing squash, but a lot more people will care about almost anything else still on my resume. Any that goes for most people – don't waste time with your hobbies.
- CUT: Advisor to various start-ups. Again, it's not that it doesn't matter at all, but it doesn't matter as much as other stuff.
- REDUCED: Microsoft and Apple jobs. Although I've already demonstrated technical skills through my position with Google, there is something compelling about the fact that I've worked at Microsoft, Apple and Google. I don't need to spend a ton of time discussing these jobs. Just listing them is enough. I put one bullet under each company, covering four internships total, and that's enough.
See my "one pager" resume: Technical College Resume (2005); Non-Technical Professional Resume (2011)
Sure, it hurt a bit to cut that stuff. But by removing or reducing those less impressive accomplishments / roles, I ensure that everyone who glances at my resume will see the most impressive things.
Again, if you need more convincing if you aren't convinced of why you can and should have a one page resume, read this post Eight Reasons Why You Need a One Page Resume.

Good post. How did you manage to get a decent name on twitter though?

@Reza I asked the person who owned @gayle, and she was nice enough to give it up :).
In retrospect, I suspect that she was sick of all the posts directed at other Gayle's :).

The Salem Greyhound Mighty Mite football squads traveled to Mountain View Nov. 5 to wrap up the 2005 season with an afternoon of action with the Yellowjackets.
At the end of they day, the teams ended up splitting wins, and the fourth- and fith-grade Hounds put the caps on a pair of unbeaten seasons with wins over Mountain View.
The third-grade Hounds started the day off with a 32-0 loss to Mountain View.
Next up, Salem's fourth-grade squad ran its record to 8-0 with a 28-6 win over the fourth-grade Yellowjackets.
The fifth-graders from Salem then followed suit by knocking off Mountain View 12-6 to keep their unbetaen streak going, ending the year with a 7-0-1 mark.
Salem ended its Mighty Mite season as the sixth-grade Greyhounds fell to Mountain View 18-6.
The fourth-and fifth-grade Hounds, made up of players from Salem, ICC, Viola and Calico Rock, will travel to Cabot Nov. 19 and 20 to take part in a 10-and-under All-Star Game.
Salem Mighty Mite organizers thank all the players, coaches and parents and the following sponsors for their help this year: Premier Furniture, Leon's Automotive, Dockins Plumbing, Humphries Insurance, Jo's Corner cafe, Orr's Lumber and York's Dozing.

Jackson misses Rams practice
ST. LOUIS -- Acupuncture helped Steven Jackson's groin strain feel better, but it didn't get him back on the practice field.
A day after reporting on his Twitter feed that he had undergone acupuncture treatment, the two-time Pro Bowler was relegated to off-field exercises Wednesday. Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo believed Jackson, who speaks with media on Thursdays, was improved but would be day to day.
"I trust Steven, I have all along," Spagnuolo said. "We want to make sure we don't push it."
Free safety Oshiomoghe Atogwe (thigh) and defensive tackle Clifton Ryan (migraines) also were held out, although strong safety Craig Dahl (concussion) returned after missing Sunday's victory over the Redskins.
Spagnuolo was impressed that the glow of victory for a team that went 1-15 last season carried over to the first practice.
"I told them I'd like them to bottle that up so it's like that every Wednesday," he said. "My point to them is it doesn't matter what happens on Sunday, all Wednesdays have to be like that.
"I think they got the point."
If Jackson can't go, Kenneth Darby likely would get his first NFL start. Darby has been an infrequent contributor since signing with the Rams in 2008, but scored the go-ahead touchdown against the Redskins on a 12-yard run.
Darby seemed more confident during the team's open locker room session and was preparing as if he'd be starting.
"My week is the same, nothing's changed," Darby said. "Before all this happened I always took each week, each day of practice, as if I was going to start even though I knew it may not happen."
Darby even has a touchdown dance in mind the next time he gets to the end zone. It has something to do with a shark.
"I really haven't had too many highlights in the NFL," said Darby, a former Alabama star. "I had a lot in college, but [the touchdown] is my No. 1 in the NFL.
"I've got a lot more to come, though."
Chauncey Washington, a running back signed off the New York Jets' practice squad Tuesday night, could be pressed into duty this week against the Seattle Seahawks. But Spagnuolo said it was more likely that Washington would help first on special teams where the Rams (1-2) have been hit hard by injuries.
Washington was among the featured players on the HBO series "Hard Knocks" that was about the New York Jets' training camp this summer. He reminded media that he also was a star in college after being part of Southern California's 2003 recruiting class, along with Reggie Bush and LenDale White.
"I think I was famous before that," Washington said, speaking of the TV series. "Maybe you guys didn't know me, but on the West Coast I'm famous."
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll knows firsthand. He coached Washington at USC.
"I've watched him since he was about 14 or 15 years old grow up as a running back, and he's always been a natural, instinctive guy with good toughness and big-play ability," Carroll said. "I know he had a good camp with the Jets playing behind some really good players, and this opportunity is great for Chauncey."

The author and surgeon Atul Gawande talks to Norman Swan about trying to make healthcare safer and more affordable.
Many doctors want to lift the lid on a phenomenon they say is worsening the suffering of many dying Australians. It's called 'limited benefit' or 'futile medical treatment', where patients with a poor prognosis are given aggressive drug therapy or surgery.
Each year more than 30,000 people are killed by guns in the US. Professor David Hemenway from the Harvard Public School of Health and others suggest that lessons can be learned from past public health successes to curb gun violence. As one example they point to the methods used by the US government to dramatically reduce smoking rates.

One time programmable (OTP) electrically programmed read only memory (EPROM) become a simple low cost solution in non-volatile memory (NVM) to be integrated in variety of CMOS baseline technology node platforms without extra masks or additional process cost incur. The feasibility of EPROM floating gate built on buried channel pMOSFET was explored experimentally. The buried channel device physic fundamental characteristics would lead to consistently high erased cell current (Ioff) in μA level instead of expected pA level for EPROM cell in erased state. Alternative external voltage biasing could not be applied due to unavailability of floating gate terminal connection to control the buried channel onoff state.
OLED-on-CMOS micro-displays are widely studied in the recent years due to the fast development of OLED. However, there are some challenges to fabricate the electrodes of OLED. In this study, the process challenges are discussed, and the surface roughness is suggested to be one of the critical parameters.
In 0.11um and larger technology node non-volatile memory process integration, undesired cobalt salicide residue formation is found to degrade ohmic contact resistant and cause severe yield loss. TiN/Ti/Co stack is applied in the process to get good CoSi2 formation. The abnormal salicide residue formation is detected after cobalt stripping process which is applying a two step selective wet etching.
Wafer bonding is an essential process step in the development and production of MEMS devices because it allows the possibility of realizing real three dimensional structures, such as functional capping of free movable structures. Because this process step is so important, it has to fit suitably into an industrial wafer-processing flow, so that wafer bonding can be performed very reproducibly with high process stability and at low cost.
An infrared focal plane array with 16 x 8 pixels is presented. The not-cooled thermopile sensor array has been completely fabricated in CMOS technology. The main field of application of this sensor is to detect the presence of persons in buildings by their own thermal radiation. For a wide spread use of this sensor a low cost production with established CMOS technologies is necessary. The chip embraces the sensor pixels and highly integrated electronic circuits to allow a simple sensor interfacing.
An original work in developing technology that allows the integration of multiple vertical power devices within Power ICs has been presented in this manuscript. The developed technology uses a combination of top and back trenches as well as wafer sawing to achieve complete dielectric isolation between the silicon islands. Each silicon island is capable of holding either single vertical power device or CMOS circuitry. The test structures have been manufactured, wafer diced and individual chips packaged and tested initially for mechanical and thermal stability.
The feasibility of EEPROM memories in SOI process technologies has been proven. It has also been shown that known data retention problems at high temperatures caused by leakage currents can be solved without extra circuitry. In this paper results of EEPROM cell matrix measurements regarding functionality and reliability will be presented. Different cell designs will be compared. Furthermore, a 32x16 bit EEPROM prototype and memory test results will be shown.
In this paper a non-destructive test structure for monitoring the strength of anodic bonded glass silicon wafer compounds is introduced. The realisation of the structure, the calculation of the surface energy using FEM and practical results are shown.
This paper reports on glass frit wafer bonding, which is a universally usable technology for wafer level encapsulation and packaging. After explaining the principle and the process flow of glass frit bonding, experimental results are shown. Glass frit bonding technology enables bonding of surface materials commonly used in MEMS technology. It allows hermetic sealing and a high process yield. Metal lead throughs at the bond interface are possible, because of the planarizing glass interlayer. Examples of surface micromachined sensors demonstrate the potential of glass–frit bonding.
The importance of surface micromachining processes has increased over the last few years. After the fundamental problems of these technologies have been solved in research institutes, surface micromachined components now arrive in industrial production, e.g. inertial sensors for automotive applications. In comparison to the classical bulk micromachined components, technologies based on surface micromachining provide a wide range of advantages.

Filed October 28, 2008
In re Alan Jay Shefler
Commission No. 05 CH 35
Synopsis of Review Board Report and Recommendation
(October 2008)
The Administrator charged Shefler with soliciting personal injury cases through a non-lawyer, paying fees to other non-lawyers in exchange for referring personal injury cases to him, and neglecting one case. Shefler admitted some of the factual allegations but denied all allegations of misconduct.
The Hearing Board found that Shefler committed all of the misconduct related to the charges of solicitation and improper payment of referral fees, but did not neglect a client matter. It recommended that Shefler's license be suspended for six months.
The Administrator and Shefler filed exceptions to the Hearing Board's Report and Recommendation. The Administrator argued that he proved the neglect charge by clear and convincing evidence and that Shefler should be suspended for two years. Shefler argued that the Hearing Board's findings of misconduct were contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence and that the appropriate sanction, if any, would be a censure.
The Review Board affirmed the Hearing Board's factual findings but reversed the findings that Shefler solicited clients through a representative, induced another to engage in conduct or gave assistance to another's conduct when Shefler knew that the conduct would violate the Rules of Professional Conduct, and improperly shared legal fees with a non-lawyer.
A majority of the Review Board recommended that Shefler receive a 60-day suspension. One panel member dissented from the majority's sanction recommendation and would have recommended that Shefler receive a reprimand.
|In the Matter of:
No. 3127682.
Commission No. 05 CH 35
In the matter before us, the Administrator charged Respondent, Alan Jay Shefler, with soliciting personal injury cases through a non-lawyer, paying fees to other non-lawyers in exchange for referring personal injury cases to him, and neglecting one case. The Hearing Board found that Respondent committed all of the misconduct related to the charges of solicitation and improper payment of referral fees, but did not neglect a client matter. The Hearing Board recommended that Respondent's license be suspended for six months.
Both the Administrator and Respondent filed exceptions to the Hearing Board's findings and sanction recommendation. The Administrator contends that he proved the neglect charge by clear and convincing evidence and that Respondent should receive a two-year suspension for his misconduct. Respondent argues that the Hearing Board's findings of misconduct are contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence and that the appropriate sanction, if any, is a censure.
The following evidence adduced at the hearing is relevant to the issues before us. A thorough recitation of the evidence may be found in the Hearing Board's Report and Recommendation.
Respondent was licensed to practice law in 1980. He opened his own office in 1986 and focuses his practice on personal injury and worker's compensation matters. He has no prior discipline.
Count I
On September 28, 2001, Respondent began representing Albert Arnold on a personal injury claim arising from a car accident. Shortly thereafter, Respondent hired Arnold to do some work for him. According to Respondent, Arnold located people, obtained signatures on documents, collected records, and transported clients. Respondent paid Arnold $65 per hour. In October 2001, Respondent issued ten checks to Arnold that totaled $7972. He gave Arnold another check for $950 on December 20, 2001. None of the payments was charged to Respondent's clients. Respondent testified that he relied on his memory to keep track of the payments he made to Arnold.
Respondent had no records of the work Arnold performed. He testified that Arnold earned only about one-third of the $8,922 that he received. Respondent explained the extra payments as advances that he made because Arnold was having financial problems. Respondent did not try to recover any of the excess money because he was afraid of Arnold after he learned that Arnold was a convicted felon and after Arnold began threatening Respondent.
Respondent testified that Arnold referred two clients to him. One of the clients was Joe Rice, who had allegedly been involved in a car accident. Respondent later learned that the person Arnold referred to him was not Joe Rice and withdrew from the representation.
The Hearing Board found that Respondent gave something of value to Arnold for recommending or having recommended the lawyer's services, in violation of Rule 7.2(b) of the Rules of Professional Conduct; induced Arnold to solicit professional employment from a
prospective client who is neither a relative, close friend of the lawyer, or a person with whom Respondent or his firm had a prior relationship, in violation of Rule 7.3; induced Arnold to engage in conduct when Respondent knew the conduct would violate the professional rules, in violation of Rule 8.4(a)(2); and shared legal fees with a non-lawyer, Arnold, in violation of Rule 5.4(a).
Count II
In 2001 and 2002, Respondent paid Marco Mejia, Tommie Johnson, Craig Thompson, Clifford Yates, and Charles Woodard to help him with tasks such as driving clients, picking up documents, and obtaining signatures. Mejia began working with Respondent in 1988 or 1989. Respondent testified that Mejia also worked as a translator for his Hispanic clients. In one large personal injury case, Mejia explained the settlement negotiations and trial proceedings to Respondent's client, Rafael Murillo. Respondent paid Mejia approximately $65,000 in 2001 and 2002. Respondent had no documentation of the services Mejia performed during that time. In 2004, Mejia became Respondent's part-time employee and received a salary of $20,000 per year.
Mejia testified that he spent a lot of time with Rafael Murillo, including going with him to the hospital and the rehabilitation center and assisting him during his three-day personal injury trial. Mejia stated that he also performed investigative work for Respondent if the case involved an accident that occurred in an Hispanic neighborhood. He testified that Respondent paid him $65 per hour and sometimes would give him an advance. Mejia stated that he referred five or six people to Respondent but Respondent did not pay him for the referrals.
Respondent had no records of the assignments or work done by the other individuals named in Count II of the complaint. He paid over $26,000 to Johnson,
approximately $10,000 to Thompson, $745 to Yates, and over $7,000 to Woodard. Respondent admitted that Mejia and Johnson referred clients to him and denied that Thompson, Yates, and Woodard did. Respondent further denied that he paid any of these individuals to bring clients to him.
A former associate in Respondent's firm, Patrick Francis, testified that, at his suggestion, Respondent cleaned out his closed files to save on storage costs. He kept certain information and financial documents and threw away the rest of the files, including work assignments to independent contractors, witness statements, and photographs. Francis further testified that Mejia assisted with Respondent's Spanish-speaking clients and that he was helpful in the Murillo case and another case involving a car accident that occurred in an Hispanic neighborhood. Francis testified that Tommie Johnson also assisted him on occasion.
The Hearing Board found that Respondent gave something of value to Mejia, Johnson, Thompson, Yates, and Woodard for recommending or having recommended Respondent's services, in violation of Rule 7.2(b) of the Rules of Professional Conduct; and engaged in conduct that brings the legal profession into disrepute, in violation of Supreme Court Rule 770.
Count III
Respondent represented Angelo Georgopoulos in a personal injury matter. The case settled in 1998 for $200,000. Angelo's daughter, Christina Georgopoulos, testified that her father's home was subject to a public aid lien of $10,304.96. Respondent's associate, Edward Fox, withheld from the settlement proceeds a check from the insurance company in the amount of $8,151.10 in order to resolve the lien. He placed the check in the file. Respondent took over the case in December 1998, after Fox left his firm. Christina Georgopoulos testified that she
called Respondent many times between January 1999 and June 1999 to check on the status of the lien, because her father wanted to sell his house. Respondent told her that he had not been able to talk with a public aid supervisor. Then, the Georgopoulos family asked Respondent to turn over the withheld funds to them. Respondent did not do so.
Christina Georgopoulos testified that there was a ten-day period in June 1999 when Respondent did not return her phone calls. She stated that she contacted the ARDC later in June and that Respondent ultimately turned over the funds, plus interest, in September 1999.
Respondent testified that when he first took over the case he did not know how to handle the lien situation. He discovered that a settlement check for $8,151.10 had been placed in the file. After looking into it, he concluded that the real estate lien did not attach to Angelo Georgopoulos's settlement proceeds. By the time he figured this out, the settlement check was stale and he had to obtain another one from the insurance company. Respondent admitted that he received calls from either Angelo or Christina Georgopoulos, but said that he usually returned them. He testified that he had a hard time reaching Angelo Georgopoulos. On September 9, 1999, Respondent sent Angelo Georgopoulos a check for $10,306.96, for the amount withheld from the settlement proceeds plus interest.
The Hearing Board found that the Administrator did not prove that Respondent failed to act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client, in violation of Rule 1.3; failed to keep his client reasonably informed about the status of a matter and promptly comply with reasonable requests for information, in violation of Rule 1.4(a); or failed to promptly deliver to a client funds that the client is entitled to receive, in violation of Rule 1.15(b).
Evidence in Mitigation
Respondent testified that he should have been more careful about keeping track of his payments to independent contractors and should have handled the Georgopoulos matter more efficiently.
A retired federal judge, a federal magistrate, three attorneys and a rabbi testified that Respondent has a good reputation for honesty and integrity.
After considering its findings of misconduct and the factors in aggravation and mitigation, the Hearing Board recommended that Respondent's license be suspended for six months.
We first address Respondent's arguments that the evidence presented to the Hearing Board amounted to, at most, suspicious circumstances and did not constitute clear and convincing evidence of the charges in Counts I and II.
The Administrator bears the burden of proving the charges of misconduct by clear and convincing evidence. In re Timpone, 208 Ill.2d 371, 380, 804 N.E.2d 560 (2004). We defer to the Hearing Board's factual findings and will not disturb them unless they are against the manifest weight of the evidence. In re Winthrop, 219 Ill.2d 526, 542, 848 N.E.2d 961 (2006). A finding is against the manifest weight of the evidence only if the opposite conclusion is clearly evident. Winthrop, 219 Ill.2d at 542, 848 N.E.2d 961. Our review of the Hearing Board's legal conclusions, including whether the facts found constitute the charged misconduct, is de novo. In re Discipio, 163 Ill. 2d 515, 527, 645 N.E.2d 906 (1994).
Count I
Count I alleged that Respondent induced Albert Arnold, a non-lawyer, to solicit clients for him, in violation of Rules 7.3 and 8.4(a)(2); shared legal fees with Arnold, in violation of Rule 5.4(a); and gave something of value to Arnold in exchange for Arnold's referral of clients to Respondent, in violation of Rule 7.2(b).
In finding that Respondent gave something of value to Arnold in exchange for referring potential clients, the Hearing Board relied on the evidence that Arnold presented a phony client to Respondent and that Respondent wrote multiple checks to Arnold in a short period of time, had no records or explanations as to what services justified those checks, and admitted that Arnold earned only about one-third of the money paid to him. This evidence was circumstantial, but the supreme court has made clear that "[c]ircumstantial evidence is legal evidence and neither the commissioners nor this court are required to be naive or impractical in appraising an attorney's conduct." In re Krasner, 32 Ill.2d 121, 127, 204 N.E.2d 10 (1965). Evidence that a respondent made large payments to a non-employee but was unable to substantiate the reasons for the payments is sufficient to establish a violation of Rule 7.2(b). In re Levine, No. 00 CH 50 (Hearing Board, Feb. 27, 2004), approved and confirmed, No. M.R. 19392 (May 17, 2004).
Respondent contends that the Hearing Board arbitrarily rejected his unrebutted explanation of the checks he wrote to Arnold. We disagree. The Hearing Board is not required to believe the testimony of a witness simply because it is not directly rebutted, although it may not arbitrarily reject testimony of an unimpeached witness that is not contradicted by direct or circumstantial evidence. In re Bourgeois, No. 01 CH 97 (Review Board, Sept. 26, 2003), petition for leave to file exceptions allowed, No. M.R. 19087 (Jan. 20, 2004). "The trier of fact
may disbelieve a witness where there are substantial questions as to the witness's veracity, based on discrepancies or inconsistencies in the witness's own testimony or other record evidence. It may also reject testimony that is inherently improbable." Bourgeois, No. 01 CH 97, Review Board Report and Recommendation at 3 (citations omitted).
The Hearing Board did not arbitrarily reject Respondent's testimony. It set forth in detail the circumstantial evidence rebutting Respondent's explanation of his payments to Arnold, which led the Hearing Board to conclude that Respondent's testimony was "inherently unbelievable." Shefler, 05 CH 35, Hearing Board Report and Recommendation at 17. Respondent has not given us a persuasive reason to disturb the Hearing Board's finding that he was not credible. In light of this finding and the evidence considered by the Hearing Board, we cannot say that its finding that Respondent improperly paid Arnold to refer clients was against the manifest weight of the evidence.
Next, Respondent draws a distinction between the charge of solicitation and the charge of payment for referral of potential clients and contends that the Administrator presented no evidence of solicitation. We agree with Respondent that the two charges have different elements that the Administrator was required to prove and that the facts as found by the Hearing Board were not sufficient to establish the solicitation charge by clear and convincing evidence.
Subject to certain exceptions, Rule 7.3 prohibits attorneys, directly or through a representative, from soliciting professional employment when a significant motive for doing so is pecuniary gain. Rule 7.3 defines "solicit" as "contact with a person other than a lawyer in person, by telephone or telegraph, by letter or other writing, or by other communication directed to a specific recipient." To establish a violation of Rule 7.3, the Administrator must show that Arnold solicited clients and that Respondent had knowledge of Arnold's activities. See In re
Milks, No. 99 CH 20 (Hearing Board, Sept. 23, 2002) at 15-16, petition for leave to file exceptions denied, No. M.R. 18895 (Nov. 14, 2003). The facts as found by the Hearing Board do not establish both of these necessary elements.
The Administrator presented no evidence from any client or potential client of Respondent's that Arnold contacted them for the purpose of directing business to Respondent; nor did the Administrator present any testimony from Arnold himself. The evidence that Arnold presented an imposter client and received money from Respondent that he did not earn raises suspicions of solicitation but, even assuming arguendo that Arnold sought out clients to present to Respondent, there was insufficient evidence that Respondent knew or should have known of Arnold's activities or induced him to solicit clients.
We are mindful of the supreme court's holding in In re Krasner, 32 Ill.2d 121, 204 N.E.2d 10 (1965), that solicitation may be proved without direct testimonial evidence from the solicitor or the solicitee. After considering Krasner, however, we conclude that it is factually distinguishable from the instant case. The evidence against Krasner consisted of the testimony of Krasner and his partner and "certain ledger sheets and cancelled checks of the partnership." Krasner, 32 Ill.2d at 123, 204 N.E.2d at 10. Krasner admitted that he received over 70 case referrals from a non-lawyer, Vogele, and gave Vogele about $20,000 in "gratuities" for the referrals. However, he denied that he had an agreement with Vogele to solicit cases for him. The court relied the volume of referred cases and the fact that almost all of the cases involved personal injuries in holding that it should have been obvious to Krasner "that there was active solicitation of cases rather than innocent recommendation." Krasner, 32 Ill.2d at 128, 204 N.E.2d at 10.
Respondent received two referrals from Arnold, compared with seventy referrals that Krasner received from Vogele. Due to this disparity and the absence of any other evidence that goes to the requisite element of knowledge of the alleged solicitation, we conclude that, as a matter of law, the facts as found by the Hearing Board do not establish a violation of Rule 7.3 or Rule 8.4(a)(2) (inducing another to engage in conduct or giving assistance to another's conduct when the lawyer knows that conduct will violate the Rules of Professional Conduct).
We further conclude that the facts as found by the Hearing Board do not establish that Respondent shared legal fees with Arnold. The Administrator presented remarkably little evidence about the two cases that Arnold referred to Respondent. In one case, Arnold presented a man who said he was Joe Rice but turned out to be an imposter. Respondent withdrew from that matter once he learned of the false identification. Arnold also referred Joe Anderson to Respondent. Anderson and Arnold had been involved in the same car accident. The Administrator presented no further evidence regarding Anderson's case.
The Hearing Board acknowledged that there was no evidence that Respondent received a fee from any client referred by Arnold. Shefler, No. 05 CH 35, Hearing Board Report and Recommendation at 18. It relied on Krasner, 32 Ill.2d at 129, 204 N.E.2d at 10, for the proposition that an attorney can be found to have divided fees when the referral payments were "clearly a division of fees anticipated or later realized." The Hearing Board appears to have found that Respondent anticipated receiving legal fees from Arnold's referrals, but does not indicate what evidence it relied on in making that finding.
In Krasner, the respondent testified that his payments to Vogele, which he termed "gratuities" and the court found were referral payments, were based on his opinion of what the case was worth. Thus, in Krasner there was an evidentiary link between the referral payments
and the perceived value of the referred cases that is not present in the case before us. With respect to the Anderson matter, the Administrator presented no evidence about nature of the case, its resolution, or Respondent's assessment of it. There is a similar lack of evidence about the Rice matter, except for Respondent's testimony that the individual purporting to be Rice turned out to be an imposter.
We do not interpret Krasner to mean that a finding that an attorney made an improper referral payment to a non-lawyer necessarily leads to a finding that the attorney engaged in improper sharing of legal fees as well. While it may be reasonable to infer the anticipation of legal fees from the payment of a significant referral fee, that inference alone is not enough to establish a violation of Rule 5.4, In our view, Krasner stands for the proposition that the Administrator must show a connection between the referral fees paid and the legal fees that the attorney expected to or did realize. Krasner's testimony that his "gratuity" payments corresponded to his assessment of a case's value provided the necessary connection. No such evidence was presented in the case before us. Accordingly, the facts as found by the Hearing Board and the reasonable inferences drawn therefrom do not establish a violation of Rule 5.4.
For all of the foregoing reasons, we recommend that the Hearing Board's findings that Respondent violated Rule 7.2(b) and Supreme Court Rule 770 be affirmed, and that its findings as to Rules 5.4, 7.3, and 8.4(a)(2) be reversed and those charges be dismissed.
Count II
Respondent next asserts that the Administrator did not meet his burden of proving that he paid Mejia, Johnson, Thompson, Yates, and Woodard for referrals. According to Respondent, the Hearing Board shifted the burden to Respondent to prove that the payments
made to those individuals were for something other than referrals and ignored the evidence he presented. We disagree.
The Administrator presented evidence that Respondent paid approximately $100,000 to the individuals named above but he had no record of the specific work they performed. Respondent admitted that several of them referred cases to him. Respondent gave testimony explaining the payments he made, but the Hearing Board did not find his explanations credible. The Hearing Board's credibility assessment did not shift the burden of proof to Respondent. As we set forth, supra, the Hearing Board was not required to accept Respondent's explanation simply because it was not directly rebutted.
Moreover, contrary to Respondent's contention, the Hearing Board did not ignore the evidence pertaining to the work that Mejia performed. The Hearing Board acknowledged that Mejia probably performed some services for Respondent, but Respondent's evidence did not explain the substantial payments that he made to Mejia. Ultimately, Respondent cannot overcome the Hearing Board's finding that he was not credible. The Hearing Board properly relied on the circumstantial evidence presented by the Administrator and the reasonable inferences that it drew from that evidence in finding that Respondent committed the misconduct charged in Count II. While it would have been possible for the Hearing Board to come to the opposite conclusion, it is not appropriate to reverse the Hearing Board's findings just because an opposite conclusion could have been reached or is reasonable. Winthrop, 219 Ill. 2d at 542-43, 848 N.E.2d 961, 302 Ill. Dec. 397.
For the foregoing reasons, we recommend that the Hearing Board's factual findings and findings of misconduct with respect to Count II be affirmed.
Count III
Next we turn to the Administrator's assertion that he proved by clear and convincing evidence the allegations in Count III that Respondent neglected Angelo Georgopoulos's case and failed to promptly deliver settlement funds. We disagree. The evidence does not support the Administrator's characterization of Respondent's representation as "months of neglect." Except for a ten-day period, Respondent communicated with the Georgopoulos family. Additionally, the Hearing Board accepted his testimony that he did not initially know how to resolve the lien and was trying to determine whether the lien attached to the settlement proceeds. Respondent acknowledged that he could have handled the matter more efficiently, but the fact that his representation was less than perfect does not necessarily lead to a finding of neglect.
The Administrator has cited no case in which conduct as minimal as Respondent's has been found to violate Rules 1.3, 1.4(a), or 1.15(b). The circumstances of In re Smith, 168 Ill.2d 269, 659 N.E.2d 896 (1995), relied upon by the Administrator, were much more egregious than this case. Accordingly, we conclude that the Administrator has not demonstrated that the Hearing Board's findings on Count III were contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence.
Both parties disagree with the Hearing Board's recommended sanction of a six-month suspension. The Administrator argues for a two-year suspension, while Respondent asserts that the sanction should be, at most, a censure.
The purpose of the disciplinary process is not to punish attorneys, but to safeguard the public, maintain the integrity of the legal profession, and protect the administration of justice from reproach. In re Timpone, 157 Ill.2d 178, 623 N.E.2d 300 (1993). With those principles in
mind, we consider discipline imposed in similar cases as well as the particular circumstances of each case, including the nature of the misconduct and any mitigating and aggravating factors. In re Witt, 145 Ill.2d 380, 583 N.E.2d 526 (1991). The Hearing Board's sanction recommendation is advisory. In re Hopper, 85 Ill.2d 318, 323, 423 N.E.2d 900 (1981).
The Hearing Board stated that the Respondent's solicitation of cases through Arnold is the misconduct that most warrants discipline. Shefler, No. 05 CH 35, Hearing Board Report and Recommendation at 25. We agree that the other charges against Respondent, while still serious, involved less egregious misconduct than the solicitation charges. Because we have recommended that the charges pertaining to solicitation and sharing of legal fees with a non-lawyer be dismissed, the solicitation cases relied upon by the Administrator and the Hearing Board do not apply.
That said, we think that Respondent's misconduct is serious enough to warrant a short period of suspension. The facts of this case demonstrate precisely why the payment of referral fees is harmful to the profession: it encourages unscrupulous individuals to present false claims in the hopes of recouping a referral fee, just as Arnold did. Respondent paid out over $100,000 to non-attorneys over an approximately two-year period. Such significant expenditures for an improper purpose make the public distrustful of lawyers and bring the legal profession into disrepute.
Our research has revealed just one case in which payment of referral fees was, as here, the only substantive misconduct. In In re Bender, No. 96 CH 838 (Reprimand, June 10, 1997), the respondent and four other attorneys from his firm were reprimanded for violating Rule 7.2(b). Bender admitted that, from the mid 1980s until 1992, his firm had paid clients who referred business to them. The referral payments ranged from $35 to $50. Between January
1992 and March 1992, Bender's firm made 93 referral payments. In holding that a reprimand was an appropriate sanction, the Hearing Board noted that Bender's firm did not engage in a quid pro quo with its clients in order to generate business, the referral payments were small, the firm stopped making the payments as soon as it learned they were improper, and all of the attorneys cooperated with the Administrator.
We determine that the significant amount of money that Respondent paid in referral fees in a relatively short period of time, approximately two years, distinguishes this case from Bender, as does Respondent's insistence that the payments were legitimate despite the lack of any documentation in support of his assertion. Accordingly, after considering the relevant law, the nature of Respondent's misconduct and all of the evidence, we recommend that Respondent be suspended from practicing law for sixty (60) days. Based on the positive testimony about Respondent's character and the deterrent effect of the recommended sanction, we are optimistic that Respondent will not commit misconduct in the future.
For the foregoing reasons, we recommend that the Hearing Board's factual findings be affirmed but that its findings of misconduct with respect to Rules 5.4(a), 7.3, and 8.4(a)(2) be reversed and those charges dismissed. We recommend that the remainder of the findings of misconduct be affirmed. We further recommend that Respondent, Alan Jay Shefler, be suspended from practicing law for sixty (60) days.

Bruce J. Meachum
Zimmerman Jr., Thomas A., Panel Member, concurring in part and dissenting in part:
I concur in the majority's determination that the charges of solicitation and sharing legal fees with a non-lawyer were not proven as a matter of law, but I respectfully dissent from the recommended sanction. In my view, the precedent for a case in which the only proven, substantive misconduct was a violation of Rule 7.2(b)1 does not support a 60-day suspension.
In re Bender, No. 96 CH 838 (Reprimand, June 10, 1997), is the case most comparable to this one. The only substantive misconduct at issue in Bender was improperly giving something of value to clients in exchange for recommending the attorney's services, in violation of Rule 7.2(b). Bender and the other attorneys in his firm had made small payments to clients in exchange for referrals over a period of several years. In determining that a reprimand was appropriate, the Hearing Board noted that Bender and his partners "did not engage in a quid pro quo with referrers in order to generate business," made modest referral payments, stopped making referral payments after they learned that the practice was improper, and cooperated with the Administrator. Bender, No. 96 CH 838. The circumstances of the instant case are not sufficiently distinguishable to justify an upward departure from Bender.
The Administrator did not charge Respondent with using Woodard, Yates, Thompson, Johnson, or Mejia to solicit business for him. While the Administrator did charge Respondent with inducing Arnold to solicit clients, we determined that the proof was insufficient to sustain that charge. Therefore, we must conclude that Respondent, like Bender, did not engage in a quid pro quo with referrers in order to generate business. In addition, Respondent stopped using independent contractors to perform services for him, and he cooperated with the Administrator.
While the referral payments in Bender were smaller on an individual basis than those made by Respondent,2 Bender's payments were more frequent (93 payments between January 1992 and March 1992) and went on for a longer period of time (from at least the mid 1980s until 1992). In contrast, in this case the Administrator presented 118 checks that Respondent wrote to Arnold, Woodard, Yates, Thompson, Johnson and Mejia, over an approximately two-year period. Sixty-six of those checks went to Mejia, and the Hearing Board found that Mejia actually performed some services for Respondent. Considering the number of payments and the duration of the practice of paying for referrals, it is evident that the referral payments in Bender were more extensive than those in the case before us. Consequently, Respondent should not receive a suspension when Bender and the attorneys he worked with were reprimanded. In my view, the majority's sanction recommendation is not in line with the principle of recommending discipline consistent with that imposed for similar misconduct. See In re Twohey, 191 Ill.2d 75, 85, 727 N.E. 2d 1028 (2000).
Additionally, the majority recommended a sanction that is more severe than the reprimand in Bender based, in part, on "Respondent's insistence that the payments were legitimate despite the lack of any documentation in support of his assertion." However, a respondent's assertion of a defense to charged misconduct is not an aggravating factor which can serve as a basis for the imposition of a more severe sanction. See In re Cueto, No. 97 SH 100 (Hearing Board, March 28, 2003) at 22, petition for leave to file exceptions denied, No. M.R. 19679 (Nov. 17, 2004) (although the respondent's continued assertion of innocence strained credulity and was preposterous in light of the evidence, it was not considered an aggravating factor).
For the foregoing reasons, I would recommend that Respondent, Alan Jay Shefler, receive a reprimand.

1 Respondent was also found to have engaged in conduct that brings the legal profession into disrepute, in violation of Supreme Court Rule 770. Generally, Supreme Court Rule 770 (formerly Supreme Court Rule 771) charges are subsidiary violations that are dependent upon other substantive charges. In re Storment, 203 Ill. 2d 378, 397, 786 N.E.2d 963, 272 Ill. Dec. 129 (2002).
2 The Hearing Board did not indicate in its Reprimand the aggregate amount of referral payments made by Bender's firm.

Lexington, Ky.—Aug. 10
Maddie Schaefer has been a Pony Finals regular for as long as she can remember. Even though she's only 11, this marked her fifth year competing at the event. This year, found the perfect way to commemorate the occasion: by winning the medium pony hunter championship aboard Hi Lite. Model winner Rafael, shown by Lili Hymowitz, earned the reserve title.
Schaefer rode Hi Lite to the top of the over fences class today to beat out 104 other ponies and earn the championship.
