The main idea behind U3 was to develop a platform where programs could run independently on USB drives without leaving any trace on the host PC. The U3 standard also provides for a user menu (the Launchpad) that pops up when the USB drive is inserted into a host and it also mandates password protection.
It's a great idea, in principle, but in practice there are not a lot of programs around that are written for U3. Indeed, some software authors have avoided writing for U3 because they feel that it's a proprietary standard. Furthermore, there have been a lot of reports that U3 drives simply won't work with particular host PCs.
Another limitation is that U3 drives will only work with Win2K SP4, XP and Vista. Older Windows operating systems, Mac OS, Linux, and UNIX are not supported. That's quite a limitation, particularly when using public terminals.
Don't get me wrong; U3 applications on U3 drives can work wonderfully well. It's just that you don't really need U3.
I had a couple of U3 drives but have since removed U3 from both. U3 removal is not hard. In essence, what you need to do is remove the LaunchPad.
Removal may not be hard, but be aware that it is irreversible (apparently it can be reversed on SanDisk drives). That said, it is essential that you backup your flash drive data before proceeding.
The best way to remove the LaunchPad is to use the removal tool provided by the manufacturer of your flash drive. With some drives this option is available from the LaunchPad menu itself under the item "Status and Settings". More likely, though, you'll need to download the removal utility. You can locate the util

Brad Strang
"Brad recently recorded a CD at his home entitled Blue Mountain Rush, which includes the singing talents of Donna Christiansen of Quesnel, and local McBride singer Cassidy Alan. The title, Strang says, is a name that he had created and has secretly guarded for many years. He has always thought that if he ever recorded a CD or started a band, Blue Mountain Rush would be the perfect name. Brad says it probably originated from his appreciation for rocky-topped mountains and from being raised on a raspberry farm surrounded by mountains in Yarrow, B.C. When he and his wife moved to the Robson Valley, Blue Mountain Rush (trademark pending) seemed the perfect name for his first CD. www.bluemountainrush.com"

Things I liked: So far everything, These pellets hit with authority,,, Shot from my daisy 880, they can open dime width holes , tearing out flaps on the exit. And shot from my bengimen Trail np xl 1500, they're delivering amazing power. I usually prefer a pointed pellet but these have won me over to the rounded tip. Ive shot through 5 bean cans in a row with them in the first test,, And the size and weight doesnt seem to be effecting accuracy at much at all, as it seems to do with Rabbit Magnums etc. Rabbit magnums are good pellets but its like chucking a rock, when you shoot them, tumbling , no problem with the New Boys though.
Things I would have changed: Really have nothing to complain about , havent experienced irregularity in shape or difficulty in insertion.
What others should know: For a 177 caliber round Newboys are potent pellets in the right guns , they're weight does effect range quickly on pumpers but compensations can be made,,, in magnum variety air rifles both break barrel and pcp, id assume you have a winner in these.

"Last House on the Left" is a tough, bitter little sleeper of a movie that's about four times as good as you'd expect. There is a moment of such sheer and unexpected terror that it beats anything in the heart-in-the-mouth line since Alan Arkin jumped out of the darkness at Audrey Hepburn in "Wait Until Dark."
I don't want to give the impression, however, that this is simply a good horror movie. It's horrifying, all right, but in ways that have nothing to do with the supernatural. It's the story of two suburban girls who go into the city for a rock concert, are kidnapped by a gang of sadistic escaped convicts and their sluttish girlfriend, and are raped and murdered. Then, in a coincidence even the killers find extreme, the gang ends up spending the night at the home of one of the girls' parents.
The parents accidentally find out the identities of the killers, because of a stolen locket and some blood-stained clothing in their baggage. Enraged, the father takes on the gang single-handedly and murders them. Does any of this sound familiar? Think for a moment. Setting aside the modern details, this is roughly the plot of Ingmar Bergman's "The Virgin Spring."
The story is also based on a true incident, we're told at the beginning of the movie, but I have my doubts; I think the producers may simply be trying one of those "only the names have been changed" capers. What does come through in "Last House on the Left" is a powerful narrative, told so directly and strongly that the audience (mostly in the mood for just another good old exploitation film) was rocked back on its psychic heels.
Wes Craven's direction never lets us out from under almost unbearable dramatic tension (except in some silly scenes involving a couple of dumb cops, who overact and seriously affect the plot's credibility). The acting is unmannered and natural, I guess. There's no posturing. There's a good ear for dialogue and nuance. And there is evil in this movie. Not bloody escapism, or a thrill a minute, but a fully developed sense of the vicious natures of the killers. There is no glory in this violence. And Craven has written in a young member of the gang (again borrowed on Bergman's story) who sees the horror as fully as the victims do. This movie covers the same philosophical territory as Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs" (1971), and is more hard-nosed about it: Sure, a man's home is his castle, but who wants to be left with nothing but a castle and a lifetime memory of horror?

Next fall, Susquehanna University will begin enforcing a long-standing policy requiring most students to live on campus all four years, officials at the Pennsylvania school say.
After years of budget cuts, some states are finally putting money back into higher education for FY2015.
The University of Puget Sound in February became the first higher ed institution to accept a gift of digital currency, when alumnus Nicolas Cary gave the Washington school 14.5 bitcoins—equal to $10,000.
Historically black colleges and universities are coming together to encourage entrepreneurial ventures and thinking among their students and faculty. Kicking off the initiative is the first HBCU Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaborative Symposium in late March in conjunction with the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance's Annual OPEN Conference.
Administrators at public colleges and universities received larger raises in 2013 than did their private-institution counterparts. That's a key finding in the "2013-14 Administrators in Higher Education Salary Survey," conducted by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources.
Institutions in nine states are experimenting with using papers and coursework—instead of tests—to judge whether students are learning skills employers need.
University representatives from these states will develop standards for judging students' critical thinking, problem solving, intercultural competence and more. These skills were determined to be what employees most value in graduates, says Carol Geary Schneider, president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
When Colorado legalized marijuana for recreational use in January, many people also noted a simultaneous jump—nearly 30 percent—in out-of-state student applications to the University of Colorado, Boulder. The reason, says Director of Admissions Kevin MacLennan, was not the pursuit of "higher education" but merely the fact that the state also began allowing the Common Application.
Bard College doesn't judge the success of its prison initiative by the number of students who stay out of jail. Recidivism is an extremely low bar, says Executive Director Max Kenner. "We judge by how many people are becoming middle-class taxpayers, how many people are involved in deeply meaningful ways in their communities. We think by those measures we are thriving."
California has been experimenting with charging higher tuition rates for high-demand courses offered during the winter and summer. The accompanying infographic breaks down what students are paying.
The very thought of drone aircraft makes many people uneasy. After all, drones carrying out attacks on terrorist groups and conducting police surveillance have been in the headlines recently.
Now, they are showing up on college and university campuses but, to paraphrase Obi Wan Kenobi, "These are not the drones you are looking for."

Old Market in Omaha, Nebraska is a neighborhood of preserved and restored buildings that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Most of the structures in the area were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The district was originally set up to sell wholesale and retail produce and other goods. It's now a vibrant community where visitors can find art galleries, sidewalk entertainment, a variety of eclectic shops and restaurants, horse-drawn carriages and streets still paved with brick. Many of the original buildings have been converted to lofts and apartments as well. Here we see a window in one of those living spaces crowded with plants and books.

Product Description
From Amazon
A use case is an interaction between your system and an actor--a person or entity using it. So it describes how your system "looks" to the outside world. In Applying Use Cases the authors show you how use cases describe what your system should do and how each thing it does should relate to other parts of the system.
Use cases are an integral part of UML and RUP so enterprise-level programmers need to know them. They are most useful in the planning stages of large projects to provide a sanity check and a framework. The authors demonstrate the use case process with a hypothetical project to develop a new mail order company. Somewhat twee "discussions" between the fictional developers humanise the subject and provide an unusual degree of narrative tension for such an academic work.
About two thirds of the book is concerned with teaching you how use case is employed. It covers documentation, diagramming, levels of detail and the review process. There's also discussion on splitting large projects and construction/delivery of the system. In the appendices you'll find resources--books and Web sites--documentation templates, UML notation and the order processing system itself taken as far as designing graphic interfaces.
All in all, a thoroughly readable, hands on, introduction to an important and useful project design tool. --Steve Patient
From the Inside Flap
There have been many changes for us and for the UML since the first edition was released in September 1998. The book has changed to stay current. The material in the first edition is also in the second edition, but you may find it in a new location. We moved the engineering-oriented material to the end of the book, and the business-oriented material to the beginning. This should make it easier for different audiences to find the material that interests them.
We updated the book to UML 1.3. A lot of the changes are in Chapters 3 and 4 because that is where we described most of the notation. The uses relationship became two relationships in UML 1.3, include and generalization. The extends relationship became extend. In both cases the notation changed as well. The definition of scenarios changed a bit too. What we used to call scenarios are now called paths.
We have added some new material that we found useful and important. Chapter 6 is a new chapter on setting the level of detail in use cases. This includes information on business process-level use cases and maintaining traceability between use cases at different levels of detail. Chapter 7, Documenting Use Cases, includes some ideas on handling login and CRUD (create, read, update, delete) in use cases. Chapter 8, Reviews, has a new section on common mistakes we have seen and how to fix them. We have included more information on sequence diagrams in Chapters 5 and 9.
There have been changes for me and Jason as well. Jason left Octel and is now a staff engineer at Cadence Design Systems. I liked having my own business, but didn't like the bookkeeping, so I took a job running the OO division of Andrews Technology, Inc. We still have Wyyzzk and Jason does some weekend consulting for that business. Things even changed on the publishing side. Addison-Wesley is now part of Pearson Education, and we have a whole new team managing the Object Technology series. They have been wonderful to work with and made the transition as smooth as possible.
One question we get asked a lot is: What do the footprints and people talking icons mean? The footprints mark major steps in the process. The people talking appear next to the storyline.
Thank you for all the e-mail about the book. We don't always get a chance to reply, but we have read all your letters and hope we have answered most of your questions in this second edition.Geri Schneider Winters

My favorite aspect of "Applying Use Cases" is how it follows a hypothetical project from Inception to Transition phases. The authors provide the reader with a clear idea of how Use Cases fit into the software development process as a whole, rather than just providing some templates for producing Use Case documents without instructions on their use.
The best, and worst, thing about books in the Object Technology Series (of which "Applying Use Cases" and "UML Distilled" both belong to) is their brevity. The concepts are conveyed very clearly and concisely, but it feels like I should be getting more substance ... .
Overall, this is a wonderful book and belongs on the shelf of any Software Engineer or Project Manager. It goes well with "Extreme Programming Explained" and "A Practical Guide to Extreme Programming", two of my favorites in this genre.
I chose this book because I know Geri Schneider-Winters as a professional (we worked together at UCSC Extension.) I was not disappointed.
The premise is that several people, with some experience in designing systems, but certainly not experts, decide to build an order processing system. Choosing a group of non-experts is a stroke of genius, since it allows the authors to use dialog based on the premise of learning as you go, which describes most of us. This approach makes it much easier to relate to their trials and tribulations as they plunge in over their head, only to be rescued by the proper applications of use cases.
Requirements are iteratively added as needed or discovered, demonstrating how iterative development is superior to others such as the waterfall. The developers are learning the background while constructing their system. Elaborating on their initial model is a slow and steady process, however it is not without the frequent step back. These glitches are presented in a realistic format with sections devoted to common mistakes made when using use cases.
A great deal of effort is also expended in describing how refined the use cases should be. One of the topics in the section on common mistakes is making the use cases too small. Like anything else, they can be split down to the point where they complicate rather than simplify. With no fixed rules to guide the process, you are forced to rely on more common sense notions. This is always hard, but some good, effective guidelines are given.Read more ›
The scenario is that a group of designers want to build a "simple" online ordering system. They begin with the proverbial conversation over coffee which contained the usual, "that system stinks and we could do better" phrase. From there, a general, but fairly complete process is presented. Every step in the sequence of requirements definitions is given. Many potential use cases are put forward, which is excellent, as this allows the authors to demonstrate the culling process, whereby some use cases are eliminated and others are combined.
The presentation is a combination of simulated dialog between the principals and more formal techniques of requirements capture such as actors and their diagrams. One thing that impressed me was the accuracy of the dialog. Anyone who has participated in the requirements capture process will experience a flashback. It is written with the beginner in mind, as very little programming background is needed to understand it. This is a thorough demonstration of how to create and apply use cases, without the depth that requires more formal notational techniques.
Use cases are sometimes very hard to teach, as is the case with most abstractions. In this book, the abstract is made concrete and if you read it you will learn a lot about use cases. However, you still may not be able to offer a precise definition.

"If, through some inscrutable act of providence, I were to lose all my faculties save one, I would choose to retain the gift of speech, for through it I would soon regain all the rest." – Daniel Webster
"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world" – Ludwig Wittgenstein
"For years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk." – Pink Floyd
How many times today did you need to speak or listen to somebody? How many times did you need to read or write? If you decided to tally up all of these occurrences, you would soon discover that in almost every minute of your work, school or leisure activities you need to use communication when:
- performing job-related tasks (e.g., following directions from a supervisor, filling out forms, reading procedural manuals, speaking with colleagues, etc.)
- completing school work (e.g., reading and analyzing a novel, writing an essay, taking notes in class, writing a test, reading a textbook, doing an oral presentation, etc.)
- interacting with family and friends (e.g., retelling events of the day, understanding humour and sarcasm, composing an email, following a television show, participating in a group discussion, etc.)
Lear Communication's speech-language pathologists empower clients to connect with others. The loss of everyday communication skills means frustration, misunderstanding and conflict. Lear uses a customized program of proven strategies to guide each client toward maximizing his or her personal potential.
Everyone at Lear Communication supports our three primary values:
We are leaders in our profession. We are always seeking better ways of doing things, by reviewing research literature and using our own exemplary creative and analytical skills. We have a research relationship with universities, focused on demonstrating and evaluating outcomes. One outcome measure that we co-developed, The Sperry-Lear Social Disability Scales, was described by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, in their 1999 pilot study of the Rehabilitation Standards for Canada, as having "the most significant value-added contribution to measurement precision of the cognitive domain." All speech-language pathologists at Lear are required to demonstrate the attainment of truly meaningful outcomes with their clients. All therapists are also involved in conference presentations, including conferences across Canada, the United States and in Australia. Formal continuing education is mandatory and each therapist is required to share their new knowledge with the other clinicians so that everyone benefits from new learning every month. Clinical meetings are held one-to-two times monthly to challenge the therapists to think in new creative and/or analytical ways. We build innovation and excellence into everything we do.
We help alleviate some of our clients' frustration by looking out for their interests and doing little things that make a big difference. We treat people with compassion and make sure we understand and respect individual differences. Our clinic atmosphere is positive and friendly and we always keep our sense of humour! We want our clients to feel comfortable and welcome at all times.
We recognize the enormous changes a communication disorder causes for individuals, their friends and family. We will do everything possible to empower our clients to experience personal success.
We aspire to set the standard for ethical practice in health care and business management. We meet or exceed practice standards, accurately and professionally. We stand behind our work, and if we make a mistake, we apologize for it, we fix it and we learn from it. We ensure our performance is visible to clients, insurers, referral sources, and the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario. If anyone has a question or a concern, we will address it. You can trust us to do the right thing

Been staring at this too long so I figured I'd post here to see if I'd be able to get a push in the right direction.
The rundown:
I'm trying to limit the regular WP_Query to only return posts within a certain radius of the user. The post's got a "location"-field (advanced custom field f.y.i). And I'm saving the users' latitude and longitude as a cookie.
However, the posts' locaiton is saved in an array:
Array (
[address] => DAL 221, 830 60 Föllinge, Sverige
[lat] => 63.68805485609542
[lng] => 14.087100587500004
How the heck do I select them separately this way? Am I even on the right way here?
What I've got so far:
function filter_where_custom() {
$latsearch = $_COOKIE["lat"]; //user latitude
$lngsearch = $_COOKIE["long"]; //user longitude
$distance = 2; //set radius of 2km
$lng = '?????'; //post longitude
$lat = '?????'; //post latitude
$where .= "
(6371 * acos( cos( deg2rad($latsearch) ) * cos( deg2rad( $lat ) ) * cos( deg2rad( $lng ) - deg2rad($lngsearch) ) + sin( deg2rad($latsearch) ) * sin( deg2rad( $lat ) ) ) ) < $distance
return $where;
Hope my question isnt too vague, thanks for the help!

Logitech FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for iPad reviewPocket-lint
When it comes to typing using the iPad there are a number of cases that promise to help you type faster while offering on-the-go protection at the same time. The Logitech FabricSkin Keyboard Folio is one such device, combining an iPad case and a water-resistant keyboard in a single solution. But how does it fare in a bustling market space? We've been tapping away to see how it performed while joined up to our iPad.
Coffee Mate
The FabricSkin's case-meets-keyboard design is a single piece so there's no faffing around. Straight out of the box and it's easy to slip your iPad into the FabricSkin's rubberised shell which completely covers the rear of the tablet and the buttons, which remain usable. The outer side of the case is made of a soft-touch fabric that looks both stylish and functional. It's all well made.
Although it's easy enough to put an iPad in and take it out, this is not a folio cover that you will be hot-swapping for others. Once in, it's in. But the additional bulk added does make the iPad more akin in size and weight to an 11-inch MacBook Air.
READ: MacBook Air (2013) review
As a cover the rubberised finish comes in handy for coffee-resistance if you happen to be a bit clumsy and knock a cup over in the office. That adds some reassurance, even though the iPad itself doesn't suddenly become resistant to the wet stuff. So not an entirely needed feature in our view.
Saying that, the family had a different take: without the need to worry about where you leave your iPad so much - whether around the kids, in the kitchen or anywhere else - there's that little extra protection in mind. But it hasn't really changed where we use the iPad.
Apple Surface?
On the surface - or, ahem, Surface - you could easily be forgiven for thinking that the FabricSkin is Logitech's attempt at making the iPad more like a Microsoft Surface with a Touch Cover. There's an obvious visual similarity - but that's as far as the comparison goes.
READ: Microsoft Surface Pro review
The FabricSkin Keyboard has a more conventional keyboard design where the keys "travel" - something the flat, all-fabric Microsoft Touch Cover doesn't offer. But while the FabricSkin is more like the Microsoft Type Cover in that regard, it's still covered with a rubbery finish that makes it feel half-way between two types.
Typing on rubber keys is very different from typing on more conventional plastic keys and we found the feel rather off-putting during use. The experience is something you can get used to, but even after typing a fair amount we still found it very ZX Spectrum.
Ignoring that point, the keys themselves are a decent size and well spaced apart - possibly even a little too widely.
As with Logitech's other iPad and iPad mini keyboards, the top row of number/shortcut keys has been designed to fit all the keys in the space without them being too small. This row serves three purposes: numbers, special characters (as standard), and as shortcut keys to adjust the likes of volume, lock or search.
Other keys have to double up their use as the FabricSkin doesn't include a full-size keyboard. For example the Q key is also the Tab key which can feel a little alien.
When positioned for a typing set-up, the FabricSkin-mounted iPad falls into place thanks to magnets in FabricSkin's cover that snap it into position. Connect the magnets in the case with the magnets just above the keyboard and it turns the keyboard on. The keyboard pairs instantly every time on cue with the magnets, and has been quick and responsive whenever we've gone to use it - it's a seamless process.
When the case is closed these magnets ensure a strong bond between the keyboard and the front of the iPad to remain in a protective screen position. That's real handy, as the front cover didn't come away from the screen when carting the iPad around in a bag.
Logitech also promises a six-month battery life from a single charge of the FabricSkin's built-in battery. Sounds like a big ask, and while we haven't been using the FabricSkin for anywhere near that period of time yet, it has survived use over the past month and we've not had any issues with the battery.
There are things to like about the Logitech FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for iPad: the instant-on feature, the magnetised connections and build quality.
However we don't think there is that great a need for a water-resistant keyboard - some may disagree - and as this adds a rubberised finish it just makes the typing experience a little odd. While it works against coffee spills and the like it seems a strange design choice. Maybe we just aren't clumsy enough to see the value.
There's also the price to consider. This case is £130, which is a lot of money in our book, particularly considering the scope of the market and that the water-resistance isn't necessarily a feature that you're likely to need. After all, the iPad doesn't become water-resistant. And here's the thing: without the water-proofing you can get Logitech's Folio iPad keyboard variant for £90.
While it ticks a number of boxes, is well made and easy to use, we can't help feel that Logitech has over-egged the waterproof feature. Which feels like solving a problem that doesn't really exist.

There are problems with tax proposal
Published: Saturday, August 12, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 11, 2006 at 11:32 p.m.
The proposed 1-cent levee tax would have its best chance of passing if the voters were assured the tax would be dropped when offshore-royalty money is officially received by the state.
The immediate need for the tax is obvious; however, we should not have to be taxed as a local community for an indefinite amount of time to address a problem that is national in scope.
Were already taxed a quarter of a cent for levees in Terrebonne Parish. This could stay intact to act as the local match for erosion and levee projects.

CCUR is trading for only $7.02 per share with 8.75 million shares outstanding, a market cap of $61.45 million, cash of $22.37 million, an enterprise value of $39.08 million, revenue of $63.23 million, and cash flow from operations of $7.13 million! CCUR's quarterly GAAP EPS has been rapidly ramping up on a quarter-to-quarter basis from $0.02, to $0.04, to $0.08, and to $0.11!
CCUR is the cable TV industry's leading on demand/multi-screen software solutions provider and has countless huge clients including Time Warner Cable (TWC), Cox, Charter, Bright House, Virgin Media, and Kabel Deutschland. CCUR's new CDN platform allows pay-TV operators to combine their classic VOD infrastructure with their new IP-based networks to deliver VOD content to tablets, smartphones, and other IP connected devices, while quickly and cost effectively expanding the number of on demand videos they can offer their customers. CCUR's CDN technology is now delivering VOD content to the iOS and Android smartphones/tablets of TWC's 12mm subscribers! TWC is the 2nd largest cable TV company in the U.S. after only Comcast!
CCUR's closest publicly traded comparison Seachange (SEAC) has gross margins of 52.1%, an enterprise value/revenue ratio of 1.65, and an enterprise value/cash flow ratio of 15.09. CCUR has gross margins of 58.2% and if CCUR reaches an enterprise value/revenue ratio of 1.65 it would be trading for $14.47! Also, if CCUR reaches an enterprise value/cash flow ratio of 15.09 it would be trading for $14.85! CCUR deserves to at least double immediately!
I am going to wait a bit on selling out my shares of MVIS since the price of CCUR is plunging so I can get them much cheaper as MVIS crosses CCUR
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Me too. I am selling MVIS and jumping in CCUR.
Wow, thanks. I will sell all my MVIS and get right in. Know what DS stands for?
I have 20k of mvis, im gonna sell just cuz you said so dum #$%$

A Los Angeles church, considered by some to be a powerful cult, charges Rich Baxter with embezzling millions. Rich reaches out to former colleague and star trial attorney Parker Stern to come to his defense. Parker despises the cult, but he hasn't entered a courtroom since developing severe stage fright after his mentor, Harmon Cherry, committed suicide.

At first, Parker doesn't believe it . . . until disturbing events force him to question what's really happening.
As the case takes an unexpected turn, Parker surprises himself and agrees to take on the church. But to represent his client and uncover the truth he must overcome his own long-buried secrets.

A Parker Stern Novel
By ROBERT ROTSTEIN
Prometheus BooksCopyright © 2013 Robert Rotstein
All rights reserved.
I haven't set foot in a courtroom for eighteen months. I've altered my lifestyle, I tell everyone. I've decided to get out of the pressure cooker of trial work and start over before I turn forty. Only my two closest friends know the truth.
On this afternoon, as on most, I'm sitting alone at a back table at The Barrista Coffee House in West Hollywood sipping a macchiato and reading a book about the law. This one is a biography called Defender of the Damned, about famed LA trial lawyer Gladys Towles Root. Root represented mostly murderers and sexual predators because during the forties and fifties no one else would hire a woman. A flamboyant dresser, she was such a skilled advocate that the convicts composed a ditty about her: Root de toot. Root de toot. Here's to Gladys Towles Root. Her dresses are purple, her hats are wide, she'll get you one instead of five.
Lawyers truly can become legends.
Deanna Poulos comes out from the back and bops over to my table. She owns The Barrista, so named because she was a lawyer herself, one of my partners at Macklin & Cherry. Not so long ago, she wore pinstripe suits with pencil skirts to work. Now she dresses in black tee shirts and jeggings, and her left arm is half-covered with tattoos. When the firm fell apart, she quit the practice of law and opened her store on Melrose. Everyone told her she was making a huge mistake. But the shop has thrived despite the bleak economy and the cutthroat competition from the chains. I admire her bravery; I envy her freedom; I think she's gone crazy.
"Waz up, Parker?" When she speaks, a silver tongue bar is visible. She touches my cheek, and then playfully pats me on the shoulder in a way that makes the gesture seem less intimate. She glances around as if she doesn't want anyone to overhear, although there's no one around. I think I know what's coming—a story about an ex-colleague's upcoming divorce or latest affair or professional misstep.
"Rich Baxter's in jail," she whispers.
Just because Deanna says it doesn't make it so. This kind of slander flares up all the time, the spontaneous combustion of volatile nouns and verbs.
"Where did you hear this?"
"From him. He called me from the jail."
I was going to take a sip of coffee, but my arm freezes in midair. I set the cup back down on the table so I don't spill.
"The FBI arrested him five days ago," she says. "They're holding him for money laundering and fraud. The Church of the Sanctified Assembly has accused him of embezzlement."
"Rich wouldn't rip off a client, much less his own church. Hell, that guy wouldn't overstay his welcome at a parking meter."
She hesitates. "He actually called me because he wants to hire you as his lawyer. He didn't think you'd take his call."
"Is this your idea of a joke?"
She shakes her head.
"We haven't spoken in years. Why would he possibly want me? "
"Because you're the best."
"Once, maybe. Not anymore."
"If you'd just ... Wouldn't you enjoy taking on the Assembly?"
"No one enjoys fighting the Assembly. They always make you pay for it."
"It's time for you to get back in the game. To show some guts."
"It's not about courage."
"So you say."
Her words sting. Before I can reply, she gets up and goes back into her office. With her short bottle-black hair, slender body, and swaggering gait, from the back she resembles a rebellious adolescent boy.
This is how it started: I was down at the old Van Nuys courthouse on a simple discovery dispute over a confidential e-mail. Moments before the judge was to take the bench, my cell phone buzzed. I still don't know why I answered the call. It was my partner, Manny Mason. He sucked in air, almost a gasp. "Harmon Cherry's dead. There's an emergency partnership meeting at five thirty. Parker, Harmon shot himself." He started sobbing.
I tried to speak—to ask how it happened, to swear at him, to call him a liar, anything—but I couldn't find words. Then the door leading from the judge's chambers swung open, and the judge walked into the courtroom. I hung up on Manny without saying goodbye.
When the clerk called my case, I stood up, determined to muddle through the hearing despite the odd detachment I was feeling. Harmon used to preach that sometimes the ability to muddle through is a lawyer's greatest asset.
The opposing counsel entered her appearance. When I tried to enter mine—all I had to say was "Parker Stern for the defendant"—my voice caught and my vocal cords felt raw and swollen. The courtroom walls elongated, and the judge's bench became a shimmering mirage. Then my cheeks flushed hot and my stomach leapt up and pressed against my throat. I croaked, "Sorry, Judge" and sprinted out of the courtroom and down the hall to the men's room, where I found an empty stall and vomited. When I finished, I went to the sink and rinsed my mouth out with cold water. Thank God the episode was over. Embarrassing, but the embarrassment would go away as soon as I won my motion. "Victory is the strongest palliative," Harmon would say.
When I returned to the courtroom, the judge was waiting for me. She told me to proceed with my argument, but when I tried to speak, the nausea returned. And then I heard a high-pitched whirr, like a child's humming top. My knees buckled. I groped at the lectern for support, but my flailing arm pulled it down with me, and I tumbled to the floor.
The shrinks call it situational glossophobia, a fancy name for stage fright. I've tried everything—psychotherapy, yoga, meditation, biofeedback, Valium, Xanax. Nothing works. Deanna wouldn't think of telling someone with a bum knee to suck it up and start running, or of admonishing an addict to show some willpower, but now she's called me a coward.
One of the baristas brings me a fresh macchiato, even though I didn't order one. I really am a fixture in this place.
A little while later, Deanna comes back to my table. "Listen to me, Parker. Rich needs a lawyer. If nothing else, you should do it out of loyalty."
"Loyalty? Where's his loyalty? He bailed on his partners only weeks after Harmon died, took the firm's biggest client with him, and stood by while rest of us split apart. Meanwhile, he's made millions off the Assembly. As much as I hate that damn cult, the legal fees could have kept the firm afloat. Not to mention that if he did commit this crime, he betrayed his family and client and church."
"All the more reason why you should help him. Remember what Harmon used to tell us? Loyalty is most meaningful when its object has betrayed you."
"That's bullshit."
"Maybe so. But it's what Harmon believed."
"You're not playing fair."
She turns and glances at me over her shoulder, her smile knowing and flirtatious, her dark brown eyes dancing like they always do when she knows she's won an argument. "When you see Rich, tell him I said to keep fighting."

There are at least two things a successful mystery novelist must have in hand, a good story and the ability to write a good story. Author Rotstein has both in considerable degree. He also has extensive experience in the field in which he writes. Parker Stern, once a top litigator for a major Los Angeles firm of attorneys, has developed a bad case of stage fright. It is so bad he can hardly make himself go into the courtroom, much less give an opening argument. His condition came on him at the same time his mentor, major partner in the law firm is found dead under less than ideal conditions. After the death of Harmon Cherry two years previously, Parker Stern worked no more. As the novel opens Parker Stern is teaching a course to third year law students and hanging out with a former partner of the dissolved firm. When one of the former lawyers in the firm is arrested for murder and financial crimes, Parker is importuned to take the case. Knowing he has an impossible situation and how he deals with his stage fright is one thread that leads readers into and through the story. There are several others, some of which lead to startling revelations, others that lead to steamy sex and still others that provide considerable food for reader contemplation. The first person writing is first rate the characters are fully drawn, and the fine plots are all very well handled. The author's background as an experienced entertainment lawyer serves the story and readers well. I look forward to many more adventures with former child actor and now re-rising attorney, Parker Stern.
I thought this was a very good book with lots of twists, turns, and surprises. I will definitely read more of this series.
This was a very good mystery with lots of twists and turns. However, it was too "wordy" in spots which tended to make you put the book down. If you stick with it, you will be surprised at the ending.
Entertaining! Not to much legal detail. I liked this book.
