Cobra USA Rebranding
One rebranding overhaul we've been hard at work on is for Cobra Mufflers in Yorba Linda, CA. We have had a blast collaborating with Work Labs (agency of record), relaunching this brand through a multitude of facets, including: • Logos • Wraps • Ads • Packaging • Events • Identity Systems • Social Media.
Here are some of the projects I've been designing for them.
Creative Director: Cabell Harris / Designer: Paul Howalt / Photographers: Adam Ewing & Chris Harris. 2016 Branding, Graphic Design, Illustration
College Of Marin Branding
The College of Marin came to us (Tactix Creative) to design their "Mariner" school mascot. They expressed the desire for a more comprehensive and competitive athletic identity...
We combined a new sea-faring palette with an entire family of marks incorporating breaking waves, a stern ship captain, distinctive typography, tossed sea textures and a trident spear.
This library of bold imagery gave them all the components they needed for an extremely strong, flexible and competitive collegiate identity. 2015 Branding, Character Design, Illustration
- First Colony Wine Packaging These are a couple wine label and wooden boxes I designed for a winery in Richmond Virginia. Because there are so many bland, conservative wine labels littering the shelves, I decided to turn these labels on their sides in order to catch the consumer's eye when scanning the shelves. The embroidered star affixed to the bottle helps put a human touch on the packaging as well... shoppers just have to touch it. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Packaging
- Contractor, Plumber & Landscaper Logos These are various logos I designed for Tactix Creative clients in the home builder, contractor, plumbing, and landscape industries. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Illustration
Work Brands Identity, Tags & T-Shirts
Work Labs, an advertising agency in Richmond, VA is always thinking. So much so that they have quite a few side projects constantly percolating. One of them is a retailing arm called Work Brands. They take a lighthearted quirky approach to producing products for sale whenever the inspiration strikes. Whether it's a coffee table book of butt crack photos, a publication full of celebrity kiss prints or a roll of wrapping paper for re-gifting, these guys inspire impulse purchases with a great sense of humor.
Work Brands had me design a stationery suite and a family of logos to use on products and promotions. I also designed a few t-shirts and hang tags to help establish the company's visual language. 2015 Branding, Fashion, Illustration
Sears DieHard Brand Extension
Sears owns 'DieHard," one of the world's oldest and most trusted brands in retail. The idea behind this pitch was to leverage the familiarity, trust worthiness and customer loyalty of the DieHard name and extend it to other 'utility related' product offerings in the store. (Such as: tools, work clothing, automotive, yard care and home repair).
The logo and visual branding had to be utilitarian yet attractive, masculine yet approachable. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Packaging
Pepsi Max Label Design
Pepsi Max is a sugarless soda that targets the next generation of male millenials. Men are generally skeptical to move to diet sodas because they do not like the aftertaste, are often looking for more functional benefit, and most importantly, they just can't relate to the imagery typically associated with diet soda.
We were tasked with visually positioning Pepsi Max as an invigorating, masculine and rejuvenating low calorie refreshment that makes men feel bold and full of life. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Packaging
- Nestea Logos and Can Designs Logo exploration and can designs for a Nestea branding presentation. 2015 Branding, Packaging, Typography
Pepsi Fuelosophy Logo & Bottle
Fuelosophy is a new healthy high protein energy beverage that gives you sustained energy to help you get through your day smoothly. Unlike the empty calories and caffeine you find in coffee, Fuelosophy has high quality proteins, slow release carbohydrates and B vitamins. It's the "Just Right" snack - not too heavy, not too light. It's not too engineered, not too organic. Not too viscous, not too watery. It's not too tart and not too sweet.
Fuelosophy is a line of beverages which is positive, lighthearted, witty, smart, in the know, thoughtful, inspiring, passionate and confident.
These comps are proposed logo and bottling concepts I designed and presented to Pepsi and TBD-SF, hoping to cut through all the clutter in this beverage category. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Packaging
- Fat Fender Garage Branding I designed this logo, stationery suite and shirt for one of our Tactix Creative clients, Fat Fender Garage... a hot rod shop located in Gilbert, Arizona. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Icon Design
Quicksilver Energy Drink & Bar
Quiksilver teamed up with Dr. Lou Ignarro to develop the first line of nutrition products born from the unique needs of boardriders, that benefit all athletes, or anyone looking to perform at their peak potential.
Exclusive and unique ingredients were sourced from global surf locations, and formulated to support and boost Nitric Oxide production in the body. This translates into improved performance, enhanced focus, increased metabolic rate, and faster recovery; so one can perform harder and longer.
Method is the all-natural, nutritional alternative to the synthetic caffeine and high fructose corn syrup products in the energy category.
These are a few of the branding explorations I developed for Quicksilver and TBD-SF. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Packaging
Visualogistix Identity
When words are a bit unclear, iconography can clarify.
Industry related jargon or acronyms used on your websites, apps and literature can often be vague and meaningless to customers. Understanding quickly comes when you pair terminology with carefully crafted iconography, specifically rendered to reflect the look and feel of your company's branding.
We designed this icon library for Visualogistix... a nationwide company that specializes in developing, printing, kitting, and delivering promotional materials for retailers of all shapes and sizes. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Icon Design
- Legal & Financial Logos Collection A collection of logos I designed for legal and financial clients. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Illustration
- Rivalry Rage Branding A hard hitting brand identity for a long distance 'team racing' event group. Rivalry Rage organizes urban team racing events centered around historic college rivalries. It was exciting to work with a client that understood the power of high impact graphic design. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Illustration
- Sky Grooming Beard Oil A package label design I designed for a client's start up salon product line. The beard oil is sold in tiny 1 and 2 ounce bottles with a flow control cap or dropper. 2015 Graphic Design, Packaging, Typography
- DB Pecan Co Branding A proposed Identity for a 1000 acre commercial pecan orchard located in Arizona. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design, Illustration
- Beards & Brews Event Poster An event poster for an Arizona 'get-together' featuring beard competitions, beer tasting and live music. The gathering was organized to raise awareness for skin cancer. 2015 Graphic Design, Illustration, Typography
- Tactix Creative Holiday Card For 2014, I designed and illustrated a card that demonstrated icon illustration , info-graphic design and an unexpected approach to a very special "self promotional" category. Reading these Holiday fact-oids accompanying the graphic icons seemed like a fun way to differentiate our company's card from the multitude of other Holiday cards clients would be receiving. 2014 Graphic Design, Icon Design, Illustration
- Mounds View Mustangs Identity As a side project, I decided to rebrand my old High School football team from Mounds View Minnesota. 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Illustration
- Phoenix Design Week Poster A poster design for a design conference held in Phoenix Arizona. 2014 Graphic Design
- Work Beer Logo, Bottle & Book I always enjoy doing work for Work Labs in Richmond, Virginia. This branding project was proposed, in part, to launch the Ad Agency's micro brew, Work Beer. I wanted this direction to look bold, rough and reflecting all things utilitarian. As one of the coasters read, "This Ain't No Sissy Beer". 2014 Branding, Packaging, Print Design
- Greenhaven Branding Branding comps for a "green-living" community in Texas. 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Print Design
- AIGA Wichita Poster This was a poster I designed for a presentation I delivered to the AIGA group in Wichita, Kansas. 2014 Graphic Design, Icon Design, Illustration
- Sacred Spur Logos & Branding Even though I live in Arizona, I generally don't design or illustrate anything you might call "country western." However, the client was very happy with the visuals I came up with. The success of this project might have come from bringing a fresh conceptual perspective to the table. (Ironically this logo & branding project was commissioned by an art director working in Wisconsin... go figure). 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Typography
- I Bring Turtles Poster I recently illustrated a logo & poster for my son, who takes pride in crafting strange and goofy gamer tags. He primarily plays Call Of Duty war games, so I thought the imagery of the helmet as a turtle shell would be conceptually appropriate.... This was a lot of fun for us both! LOL! 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Illustration
- Sky Hair Studio Logo & Postcards Initial branding, logo and postcard design for a hair salon in the Phoenix area. One postcard was designed to speak to a feminine audience and the other one to a masculine crowd. 2014 Advertising, Branding, Graphic Design
- Sky Hair Studio TShirt & Logos I recently designed a couple of promotional logos and t-shirts for a local salon. The shirts are meant to be prizes for winning visitors at their trade show booth at vendor events this year. 2014 Branding, Fashion, Graphic Design
- Watts Gwilliam Logos & Folder Branding and document kit folder for an Arizona based investment brokerage firm. 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Print Design
- Gift Cards & Iconography A few proposed gift card designs for a client. 2014 Graphic Design, Illustration
- Clin1 Branding Logo, iconography & sales kit folder branding for a medical records software solution headquartered in Texas. 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Icon Design
- Monkees Logo Redo & Caricatures Here's a re-tooled logo that mesmerized me as a child growing up. I also generated 4 caricatures of each member of the band... I have such great memories watching this show as a child, that I felt a tribute was in order. :-) 2014 Character Design, Graphic Design, Illustration
- Steve Jobs Illustration An illustrated tribute to Steve Jobs. 2014 Character Design, Graphic Design, Illustration
- Vina Escondida Identity A proposed set of logos for a gated community in Arizona with a Tuscan feel. 2014 Branding

- Studio 1200 Identity Proposal A proposed identity system for an architectural firm located in Southern California. Commissioned by Mattson Creative. 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Typography
- Rockport "Design:Logo" Book I worked with Rockport Publications and Von Glitschka to write, design, jury, and publish this book showcasing some of the most well crafted, conceptual and irresistible logos that have been done in recent years. Rounding out the book are "Closer Look" studies and insightful essays written by design industry leaders such as Bill Gardner, Tracy Sabin, Justin Ahrens & Sherwin Schwartzrock. 2014 Graphic Design, Print Design, Writing
- EDM Express Branding Refreshing an old brand for an electrical discharge machining company in Arizona. 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Web Design
- Up Airlines: Magazine Illustration This is an illustration I did for Up Airlines' in-flight magazine article about the pitfalls of not renting a large enough vehicle for your golf trip. The article was titled "By the Seat of My Pants: Avoid the Most Costly Golf Trip Errors." 2014 Illustration
- Child Seat Reminder Stickers I designed and illustrated these 'reminder' stickers for parents to place in their vehicles reminding drivers to always check the security of the child safety seat buckles and straps. 2014 Graphic Design, Illustration, Typography
- Travel Iconography Illustrated iconography for a travel article commissioned by Hambley Wooley. 2014 Graphic Design, Illustration

- Dixie Super Bowl Party Plates A proposed plate set I designed for Dixie to be sold for Superbowl parties. 2014 Graphic Design, Icon Design, Illustration
- Justin Time Branding A proposed branding project for a local courier. This project was a fun collaboration between Von Glitschka and myself. He is authoring a book filled with hundreds of one color illustrations. Prior to publication, he asked a handful of designers to pick one of the illustrations and create a project around it to demonstrate how his illustrations could be used. I chose the delivery truck you see featured in the center of the logo... and then I just built out from there. 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Print Design
- Cornerstone Branding This Identity system was designed for a property management company located in the Phoenix area. They wanted a modern, fun and young visual language. After generating their brand platform, this seemed right on target for them. 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Illustration
- Re-Gift Wrapping Paper Everyone has received a beautifully wrapped shiny new present or two in their lifetime. One of my favorite clients (Work Labs), however, decided to have me design and illustrate a pattern for something else quite different: RE-gifting Paper... To be used as a brightly colored "let-down" at any office party and White Elephant exchange. 2014 Icon Design, Illustration, Packaging
- Real Estate & Property Logos Logo commissions I designed for real estate developers, realtors, property management, and housing developments located in the Southwest United States. 2014 Branding, Graphic Design, Icon Design

Lynden and King's huddled together in the middle of the field, helmets in the air, celebrating the game itself.
Lynden beat King's 14-6 at Husky Stadium in the second matchup of the day at the Emerald City Kickoff Classic.
"It was a typical first -week-of-the-season game, especially for us since we had 19 new starters; we had a brand new team, and I thought we showed flashes of being quite good, but we also had moments (that weren't so good)," Liberty coach Curt Kramme said. "This was maybe an ugly win, but we'll take it."
After the first half, Lynden looked like they would run away with it, racking up almost 100 more yards of total offense than King's.

Most Read Stories
King's finally caught up, ending the game with 298 yards total offense compared to Lynden's 299, but they weren't able to capitalize until the very end of the game when freshman quarterback Corey Kispert stepped in for Koa Wilkins.
Kispert completed a 46-yard pass to Ryan Fransen, setting up the subsequent 10-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Turner.
Without as many penalties as King's, Lynden found more success getting into the endzone.
Quarterback Lucas Peterson, who completed 11 of 21 passes, threw for 149 yards in the first half with a long of 35 and one touchdown — a 13-yard completion to receiver Jalani Phelps.
Scooter Hastings made it look easy on his quarterback and longtime friend, with three receptions for 84 yards in the first half, one of which was a 31-yard reception to put Lynden on the 3-yard line, setting up a touchdown soon after.
"He can change the game," Kramme said of Hastings. "He's a tough matchup for anybody."
Standing at 6-foot-7, Hastings is a big target. Add that to an already established relationship, and it's hard not to throw it his way.
"He's just a big dude," Petersen said. "Just throw it up there and trust that he'll catch it."
On the other side of the ball, Lynden's defense did its fair share to keep King's away from the endzone.
Wilkins was sacked five times for a total loss of 22 yards, in large part to Blake Browning, who had 2½ sacks.
Karl Sather of King's went to work, too, racking up 8½ tackles and the only interception of the game.

Thumbs-up on Marine's first combat tour
Veterans of Afghanistan
On Nov. 11, America honors armed service members past and present on Veterans Day. In a military town like San Diego, the men and women who have defended our nation are neighbors, friends, classmates or loved ones. Here are four from the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton who deployed to Afghanistan this year.
Col. Wayne Steele; 'Die-hard Marine' ending a 42-year tour
Cpl. Craig Shaver; Thumbs-up on Marine's first combat tour
HM2 Nicholas Geisinger, Corpsman served on medical front lines
Capt. John Buss; Terrorist attacks shifted student's direction
Cpl. Craig Shaver took a moment one night this summer in Sangin, Afghanistan, to consider his career.
The 21-year-old Marine had stopped with his squad in an irrigated cornfield during an extended combat patrol. Shaver was stretched out in the mud and a few inches of water, trying to get an hour or two of sleep before it was his turn to stand watch.
"Man, I wonder what my buddies are doing? Middle of July — they're probably on the lake. Agh, I am really glad I chose this profession," he recalled thinking, speaking in a mocking voice that made his fellow Marines chuckle knowingly. "I wish I had gone to college. ..."
He was just kidding. As awful as it is to patrol southwestern Afghanistan in the summer heat and humidity, mud sucking at your boots, Shaver loves being a Marine infantryman.
"We didn't join to sit in an office, so no complaints," Shaver said at Forward Operating Base Tabac, where he was deployed with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment out of Twentynine Palms.
"There is nothing like this in the world. It sounds cheesy and corny, but it's true. You don't ever meet friends like this," he said. In the three years since Shaver joined the Corps, he has spent far more time with the guys in his unit than his own family back in Minneapolis. "So this is your family."
Other highlights from his first combat tour that ended in October: seeing the sun drop over the mountains and the Helmand River, the tragic beauty of poppy fields blooming pink and white across the war-torn landscape, and practicing the Pashto he learned during an intensive summer course at San Diego State University before deploying.
Veterans Day 2012
"It's harder on our mothers than it is on us. They're always going to put the worst on it. Whatever they see on CNN is what their baby is doing. It's obviously not like that. As hard as we work, it's a pretty safe spot here right now," Shaver said.
Thanks to a succession of Marine battalions before them, what had once been among the deadliest areas of Afghanistan for coalition troops remained dangerous but had calmed considerably by the time they arrived.
"It's been pretty quiet up here. I think we've maintained the good relationship with the locals and are helping transfer it over to the Afghans when we leave," said Lance Cpl. Aaron Hartje, 23, of Eagle, Idaho.
At the beginning of their seven-month tour, the battalion patrolled intensively. Later they began turning patrol bases and battlespace over to Afghan forces.
"To put an Afghan face behind it is really, really important. Because I mean is it our war? Yeah. But it's their country," Shaver said. "They definitely need to step up at some point. We can't just keep going on and on with the training wheels. They've definitely got to come off."

I Have Talked Myself Into Wanting to Take a CruiseMonica Bielanko
A strange thing has happened.
All of this writing about cruises has left me jonesing to take a vacation, WITH my two toddlers. Who desires vacationing with two toddlers? Crazy people, that's who. People who like pain. Or people who have two full-time nannies on staff.
But there it is. I want to take a vacation with my kids and I have decided that I want to go cruising. Which is weird because I've never really been into cruises before. I have friends who swear by them, who say they're the greatest ever. These friends haven't taken children along, mind you, and so I stayed firmly in the no vacationing with my toddlers camp because how can it be a vacation if you're with your toddler? It can't. Like, the laws of physics prevent it or something. Toddler behavior equals garment rending, Advil popping and tears – on both the toddler's part and mine.
But then I did the research it took to write these articles:
7 Reasons To Take Your Toddler On a Cruise
Baby on Board: Taking Your Toddler On a Cruise
Alaska? With a Toddler? You Bet!
8 Super Family-Friendly Cruises You May Not Know About
All the writing has me convinced, CONVINCED, I say, that I want to go on a cruise with my kids. Which I guess means I'm a pretty fantastic writer if I managed to convince even my skeptical self!
I'm thinking of starting off small with the weekender cruise that leaves New York City. See, it's perfect. It's not too long, the perfect amount of time to get our feet wet, so to speak. We can drive the few hours to the city (no dreaded airplane ride with a toddler!) and then we're on the boat! I am immediately ditching the kids in group babysitting while I get a massage and, if they're being really nice, I may meet up with them later for dinner. Bring on the buffet!
A big thanks to Norwegian Cruise Line for sponsoring this campaign. Click here to see more of the discussion.

I only watch Saturday Night Live occasionally, and I rarely watch stand-up comedy on TV. (Yes, I do have a sense of humor in spite of this.) However, I cannot stop listening to the audiobook of Tina Fey's new Bossypants. I listen to it as I'm driving, and more than once I've had to turn it off so I could stop laughing long enough to be a responsible driver. I recommend the audiobook over the book so you can hear Tina Fey herself deliver the lines as only she can do.
I suspect there are poems written for every subject a person could imagine. (Some more interesting than others.) I love a recent collection I saw: Caroline Kennedy's She Walks in Beauty. The poems run the gamut from falling in love to breaking up; from love of clothes to love of work; from growing up to growing old. It's a beautiful collection that makes me delighted to be a woman.

Mom Advice: How to Fathom Men
In caring for her own children, novelist Martha McPhee saw more of her mother shine through than expected.
Generally, her refrain forgave. Mostly, it was her way of accepting, of choosing to be happy rather than right—a tip she felt the need to impart for what it could save me in time and heartache.
Women of her generation were raised to give men a pass, but as an early feminist she didn't raise me that way. She taught me how to take care of myself so that if a man ever did leave me, I'd be fine. I have spent a lifetime listening to her comment about gender inequality in politics, in business, in sports, in the world of letters; and she champions those women who rise to prominence in a man's world. "Men just do that" flummoxed me; it seemed the exact opposite of what an enlightened woman would say.
Then I grew up. I married. I had a son.
He has, in his eight years, passed through the familiar stages of male preoccupation with sticks, guns, basket-balls, footballs, baseballs, and soccer balls, but he loves nothing more than the generalized mayhem of the living room that has been turned into a wrestling arena. He practices the signature moves of the WWE in great leaping dives from the couch, in fake "bone-crushing" body slams of my husband, who "writhes" in pain, who is temporarily stunned, who somehow, in a miraculous burst of energy, makes an unforeseen comeback. My daughter and I flee to the bedroom. Beyond the door, the primary forms of male communication can be discerned as the floor rumbles and shakes.
My daughter looks at me. "Men just do that," I say, before I can catch myself.
Martha McPhee's most recent novel is Dear Money.
Thanks! You're on our list.

Both Codes require that an attorney enter into a written fee agreement with a client and requires the attorney to carefully explain and ensure that the client understands the fee agreement. The fees collected by an attorney with respect to an adoption or surrogacy cannot be illegal or unconscionable and must be commensurate with the services provided.
Attorney Tips for Handling Stress and Quelling the Fires of Conflict
Part of handling stress deals with the selection of the cases a lawyer takes. Lawyers should be cautious of taking cases from extremely difficult and unreasonable clients. These kinds of clients can raise stress and make the practice of law unenjoyable. Where it can be done ethically, in some cases, an attorney may wish to disengage or withdraw from cases where the client is completely unreasonable. These clients can also tend to seek conflict versus trying to quell the fires.
Can I Break Up and Fire My Attorney?
Sometimes despite an attorney's best intentions, he or she may find that a client is not happy with the services provided. In many situations, a client can fire his or her attorney at will.

Private Investigation – Frequently Asked Questions
If you are considering retaining the services of a private investigator, you may want to know some background information regarding these individuals. Here are a few frequently asked questions about private investigators and their answers.
Is Using a Private Investigator Legal?
The act of hiring a private investigator does not inherently violate any rules of law. However, there is certain conduct that private investigators cannot engage in or else they will be violating the law. Check with the private investigator that you are interested in retaining to ensure that he or she follows the law of your jurisdiction.
When Do I Need a Private Investigator?
In certain cases, a lawyer may recommend hiring a private investigator. He or she may have existing contacts or may recommend that you find your own investigator. Here are some situations in which you may need a private investigator to assist you in your case.
Should I Get a Written Retainer for My Case?
If you are interested in hiring a lawyer, he or she may mention a "retainer fee." While you may hire an attorney without a written agreement, there are several reasons why you should insist on a written retainer.
Common Advertising Mistakes that Get Lawyers in Trouble
Although it seems impossible to drive around any city in America without seeing billboards advertising attorneys or hear radio ads for law firms, attorneys are actually one of the most heavily regulated industries when it comes to advertising. Most rules make sense, like avoiding doing anything that would mislead the general public. But, there are a few that are easily and commonly violated, though not often considered until the damage has already been done.
Legal Advertising in America
While billboards and television ads with lawyers faces and slogans may be commonplace today, just a few years ago such advertising was not permitted for attorneys. Over the last two decades, restrictions on lawyer advertising have relaxed somewhat, allowing the proliferation of ads we see today. Still, these advertisements are not without restriction.
Considerations in a Legal Malpractice Case
We all understand that when someone wrongs us, we can contact an attorney to obtain assistance in filing a lawsuit to obtain relief. But what do you do when your attorney is the one who has wronged you? How do you obtain relief when your attorney drops the ball and commits malpractice?
What Are the Surgical Errors that Can Lead to a Medical Malpractice Case?
A medical malpractice case may arise when a patient's treatment falls below the standard of care when compared to other surgeons in the same practice area and the patient is harmed. A patient may be injured due to a variety of surgical errors.
What Sort of Malpractice Insurance Does a Law Firm Need
Most businesses need a plan for dealing with unexpected situations. Usually, that plan includes insurance policies. But law firms and lawyers face unique circumstances most other professions never face. So what sorts of insurance should law firms obtain to best manage their risks?
Electronic Discovery: Model Code of Conduct, Clawback Agreements and Quick-Peek Provisions
With electronic discovery, remember that you are still bound by the Rules of Professional Conduct in your state. However, some have proposed the EDRM Model Code of Conduct to deal specifically with e-discovery. The Model Code of Conduct (MCoC) sets forth aspirational guidelines intended to serve as a basis for ethical decision making by all participants in the electronic discovery process.
When Should Blog or Forum Posts Create Liability for Defamation?
Writers often express their views on blogs or forums. With the advancement of laws, anyone who writes articles, must be cautious of consequences of doing so. This is a Malaysian perspective.
What is Negligence?
One can only bring a lawsuit for negligence if they can establish all four of the required elements. If any one of the elements is missing, then there is no negligence from a legal standpoint, and a lawsuit cannot be sustained. Of course, there are often defenses and other technicalities involved with proving such a case, so it is always best to contact a qualified, licensed attorney to help answer your questions and guide you through the process of analyzing your claim or defense to negligence.
The Scent of Jasmine

A financial advisor was recently arrested at a seminar in Los Angeles on financial elder abuse charges.
Texas Good Samaritan Law
Like many other states, Texas has a Good Samaritan Law that protects citizens in the event that they provide emergency medical assistance. This law is meant to shield people acting in good faith and in their best efforts from civil liability and to protect the public by creating an incentive for others to help in a time of emergency.
California Insurance Agent Sentenced For Financial Fraud That Targeted Seniors
A Los Angeles area insurance agent accused of defrauding senior citizens will spend five years in jail and was ordered by the court to pay $1.2 million to compensate his victims.
Standards of Care in Nursing
Standards of care or standards of practice in nursing are general guidelines that provide a foundation as to how a nurse should act and what he or she should and should not do in his or her professional capacity. Deviating from this standard can result in certain legal implications.
Review of The Owner/Design Professional Agreement from The Design Professional's Perspective
This article reviews some of the issues addressed in a standard Owner/Design Professional Agreement, outlines concerns from the Design Professional's perspective, and discusses how the Design Professional can reduce liability on a project and ensure equitable adjustments to the contract price and schedule for changed or additional design services. The agreement contemplated by this article is one to be used as part of a traditional design-bid-build approach.
Disruptive Behavior Among Medical Professionals
Many people feel afraid when they look for medical help. Whether it is their fear of a traumatic diagnosis or simply experiencing nerves over a routine check up, Chicago residents and people in other parts of the country may not rank potential doctor errors high on their lists of medically-related fears. That may change, however, in light of recent surveys completed by professional medical groups.

By Jaburg Wilk

Foreigners, Personal Injury Law and Compensation in Jamaica - Understanding Your Case
Compensation for personal injury in Jamaica is based on awards being made for special and general damages. In the case of general damages, the amount of compensation is based on local precedents, which are lower than those in high cost countries. Thus, a foreigner who lives in a high cost jurisdiction will get less monetary damages. Special damages are awarded as proved. In sum, foreigners from high cost jurisdictions are at a disadvantage in the amount general damages that they may receive.
Lawyer Accused of Forging Power of Attorney, Murder in Dad's Death

Investigation of Intentional Prosecutorial Misconduct by Williamson County DA's Office - In the 1980s Michael Morton was wrongfully, and unjustly, convicted of the murder of his wife (here and here).

Confidential and Private - Evidentiary Privileges in the American Legal System
Writing in the Pittsburgh Law Review, University of California Law Professor Edward J. Inwinkelried discussed in detail the history and legal parameters of evidentiary privileges. He opened his treatise with this observation: "From society's perspective, the rules governing privileged communications, such as those between a client and his or her attorney are arguably the most important doctrines in evidence law."
The Impact of Smith V. Cain
High Court Misses Opportunity to Discuss Ethical Obligations of Prosecutors - For reasons we discussed in a previous post, the U.S. Supreme Court had an opportunity in Smith v. Cain to discuss the ethical discovery obligations of both federal and state prosecutors—an idea strongly suggested by the American Bar Association in their amicus brief filed in the case.
Federal Discovery and Inspection Procedures
Tunnel Vision Interferes with Duty to Comply with Discovery Obligations - Most litigation in federal criminal cases regarding discovery of evidence, or lack thereof, is based on claims of violations of due process protections found in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution.

The Ethical Implications of a Brady Violation
Disciplinary Action against Rogue Prosecutors Who Intentionally Engage in Wrongful Conduct, Brady Violations Rare - Among lawyers practicing criminal law, "Brady violation" is probably second only to a "Miranda warning" as the most recognizable legal term in this country's jurisprudence; and, significantly, both of these U.S. Supreme Court decisions are designed to curb prosecutorial and law enforcement misconduct.
Brady Violations in White Collar, Corruption Convictions
Serious, Widespread and Intentional Concealment of Evidence by DOJ and US Attorneys - Former Alaska lawmaker, Vic Kohring, has entered a guilty plea admitting he accepted bribes from an "oil man" for his help in keeping taxes low on the Alaskan oil industry. The plea comes after an appellate court tossed out Kohring's original conviction, along with others convicted in the scandal, after finding that the Government had intentionally withheld evidence in the trials.
Smith V. Cain: A Look at Prosecutor's Duty to Disclose
ABA Files Amicus Demanding Disclosure of Exculpatory Evidence Regardless of Materiality, Broader than Brady - The Orleans Parish and Williamson County district attorney offices have something in common: both have a disturbing history of withholding exculpatory information that resulted in innocent men being sent to prison (or death row) for long periods of time (here, here and here).
How the Internet is Destroying Small Business Commerce and Legal Remedies
The Internet is destroying the enforceability of small business contracts. Here are a few examples: Case 1: Painting Company and the BBB. - A house painting company ("PaintCo") bid on and signed a contract with a home owner to paint his house. The contract had a three day cancelation clause which was not invoked.
General Principles and Information re: Director and Officer Liability Info. Checklist
I. General Standard - With some exceptions, the general legal standard of care for business actors and agents is "prudence." In this context "prudence" means to act as an ordinary prudent person would act under the circumstances. But, this standard can be misleading because, at law, prudent people arguably do not make common mistakes, like combing their hair or changing the radio dial while driving, let alone sending texts. So, the prudent standard.
When it Comes to Attorney's Fees, is Texas Becoming More American?
Under the majority "American Rule," parties are generally required to bear their own attorney's fees in civil cases. For over 100 years, however, Texas has been in the minority that allows courts to award attorney's fees to prevailing parties for certain claims, such as for breach of oral or written contracts.

Improving Your Doctor's Hygiene
Hygiene in hospitals is not as high of a priority as one would expect. When people don't feel well, they see a doctor. They probably assume that the doctor will not spread anything to them to make them sicker. Ohio residents may be disturbed to find out that hygiene in hospitals is not as high of a priority as one would expect.
Hospitals Aiming for Fewer Errors and Better Patient Care
An estimated 100,000 people per year die in hospitals around the country from preventable errors and over the years this situation has only worsened. About 10 years ago a study from the Institute of Medicine was released. It estimated that 100,000 people per year died in hospitals around the country from preventable errors. Ohio residents will be disappointed to know the situation has only worsened.
Was Nurse's Need to Rush Through Job Responsibilites to Blame for Death of Patient?
I've come to accept that the physical responsibilities placed upon nursing home staff are completely unrealistic. The desire of management and administrators to maximize the individual productivity of nursing home workers may appear to be an admirable proposition on paper--- yet, fails when it comes to providing quality care for patients.
Pharmacist Sentenced to Home Confinement after Re-Packaging Drugs for Nursing Home Patients
Pharmacists play an essential role in the well being of nursing home patients by filling physician prescriptions and in many cases keeping track of all the medications each patient takes to assure there are no contraindications in mixing different drugs. Obviously, keeping track of medications is an difficult but important job.

Guardianships and Vulnerable Adults in Arizona
In Arizona, anyone interested in the affairs or welfare of an allegedly incompetent person may petition the court for appointment as a guardian. ABC15 reports that Sun Valley Group of Tempe requested appointment as guardian to Gloria Horrigan and Rosemary Brown. Upon appointment, Horrigan was taken to a nursing home against her will and not allowed visitors, not even her family. Brown followed a similar pattern, also taken and not allowed to see her family or visitors.
Medical Malpractice Claims and Lawsuits
Medical malpractice is a term used to embody the negligent behaviors of medical professionals whose omissions or deliberate actions/ inactions have resulted in a failure to practice safe medicine.

Public Endangerment: To What Extent can Law Enforcement be Held Liable?
In September 2011, a California couple filed a lawsuit against the Trinity County Sheriff's Department for sending them into a dangerous situation. The couple had been contacted by a Sheriff's Corporal and sent to check on a neighbor who made a 911 call indicating she was in danger.

Are California's Limits on Non-Economic Damages Unconstitutional?
Ever since the California Legislature passed the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act of 1975 (MICRA), plaintiff's attorneys have been working hard to repeal or amend the law. It is patently unfair to cap a malpractice victim's non-economic damages, and it gives doctors and healthcare facilities incentive to do a cost benefit analysis on human lives.

Questions of Roborats, Cybertheft and Fatal Bugs: Jesuit Leads Students to Consider Moral Issues of the Computer Age. (Catholic Colleges and Universities)
Lefevere, Patricia, National Catholic Reporter
On the pull-down computer projection screen at the front of their classroom, a group of Fordham University seniors learn that scientists at the State University of New York's Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn have turned rats into intelligent robots by implanting electrodes in their brains and strapping power packs onto their backs.
Thus equipped the rodents can be used in search and destroy, reconnaissance or rescue missions. But just because the ,roborats" might save a life--even a firefighter, soldier or a child's life--is it ethical to use rats to do a controller's bidding?
The question, posed in an online article assigned to the students, is one of many that Jesuit Fr. Nicholas Lombardi puts to the 20 students in his senior values seminar, titled "Cyberspace, Ethics and Issues." It meets for 75 minutes twice weekly. This is the fourth year Lombardi is teaching the course. Feedback from students indicates, "It's cutting edge--the most relevant class they do," he told NCR.
At first students saw nothing wrong in using rats as robots. "We kill chickens and eat them for our benefit," one offered. "I find it difficult to argue don't use rats," commented another who wants mosquitoes--"the greatest killers on earth"--eliminated before rats.
Before the animal rights defenders could take on those upholding the food chain hierarchy, Lombardi interjected: "The point is not whether it's right or wrong, but rather how `unobvious' it is that it's right or wrong."
Probing notions of right and wrong
Lombardi said he wants students to probe where their notions of right and wrong originate. How do they make moral determinations? Why do they feel the way they do? What sources inform their opinions? How do they form absolute judgments?
He said he sees his job as trying to make up for a "pseudo-liberal attitude" that says students should be free to pick and choose their own value systems, decide what's right or wrong on their own. The result of such nurturing in middle schools and high schools is that most college students today are fairly good at critical thinking, but many are "deprived of strong opinions. They don't want to force strong opinions on anyone," Lombardi said during an interview in the Faculty Resource Center, a state-of-the-art technology center he directs.
"Stealing is bad," Lombardi told the class as he moved from student to student, pulling an unoccupied desk upright and using it as a lectern or sitting sidesaddle on another one directly in front of a row of students. The effort to engage them in the discourse occurred on many fronts.
"An out-of-work mom can steal bread;" he said. "Or can she?" The priest, dressed in a white lab coat over his clerical collar and shirt, pivoted toward the students, tossing the question into their laps. "I'm open to interpretation."
"It's illegal," one student offered. "You can get arrested for stealing."
Lombardi countered that not everything that's legal is moral or obviously good. He probes their understanding of the role of emotions, intuition, law, religion, majority opinion and common sense in an effort to get them to investigate the origins of their own values system.
A classicist by training, Lombardi offered insights on the meaning of "vendetta" from the story of Oedipus. He talked of Roman law and of "conscience"--from its Latin roots. Conscience is what you come to know "deep down and earnestly agree with," he said.
No student should leave Fordham or any other college or university without values grounded in an informed conscience, he said. The goal of the senior seminar is to deliver the tools students need to face future moral issues arising in the workplace, in health care, politics, in the media as well as in the area of relationships and parenting.
Personal issues and social concerns grounded in Christian personal and social ethics are the starting points for his class discussions. …

Here in the States we're celebrating Independence Day today and I think it lends itself to a great theme for a thread (for anyone, by the way).
For example, yesterday I was able to send a big check to pay off my auto loan 18 months early, and now I'm independent of car payments. After leasing four cars in a row, and then deciding to buy this one, I'm finally going to be without a car payment for the first time in 18 years. Whoa!
Once I get over that shock, perhaps i can put a virtual car payment or two aside for my new bike fund.
Where are you discovering the joy of independence lately?
