Areas of Law
Additional Areas of Law: Vehicular Accidents; Auto Accidents; Drunk Driving Accidents; Livestock and Animals Collisions; Uninsured/Under-insured Motorist Arbitration; Dog Bites; Defective Medical Devices; Drug Products Liability; Swimming Pool Negligence; Hearing Loss; Impaction Fractures of Lower Tibia; Jaw Fracture; Meniscal Tears of the Knee; Pelvic Fractures; Renal Trauma; Throat Injuries; Vertebral Fractures.
Areas of Law Description
We provide professional legal representation and personalized service in the following areas of personal injury & accident law:
- Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer, in which malignant or cancerous cells are found in the Mesothelium. The Mesothelium is a protective sac that covers most of the body's internal organs. That is what the cancer attacks - and it is always fatal.
- Wrongful Death
Wrongful death as a legal term is a death that has been caused by the fault of another person. For example, deaths caused by drunk driving, the manufacture of a defective or dangerous product, the construction of an unsound structure or building, or failing to diagnose a fatal disease may be considered under the law as "wrongful deaths".
- Swimming Pool Injuries
If you or your child has been seriously injured in a swimming pool accident, you may be able to file a premises liability lawsuit or lawsuit for damages against the pool owner. In California, it is the responsibility of the pool accident victim to prove that the owner was negligent and that this negligence was the cause of serious injuries and damages.
- Drunk Driving Accidents
"Driving under the influence", or "Driving while intoxicated", is the term for alcohol-related driving behavior. It is responsible for nearly 1/3 of all traffic deaths in this country. Many of these impaired drivers are repeat offenders. Drunk drivers cause a heavy burden of death and/or injury to themselves and to innocent drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
- Car Accidents
Our firm represents clients who have suffered personal injuries or property damage in automobile, motorcycle, truck, or bus accidents. Such motor vehicle accidents include those involving drunk or hit and run drivers, uninsured or underinsured drivers, as well as accidents occurring from motor vehicle, SUV and semi-tractor trailer collisions and rollovers.
- Motorcycle Accidents
Our firm represents clients in the Sacramento area who have suffered personal injuries or property damage from a motorcycle accident. Such accidents include those involving drunk or hit and run drivers, uninsured or underinsured drivers.
- Trucking Accidents
Our firm is committed to making highways safer by forcing the negligent truckers and their employers to take responsibility for their actions. With the number of semis on the highways exploding, many are the number of cases involving injuries and damages caused by negligent truck drivers.
- Workers' Compensation
Even as you read these words, you probably know someone dealing with a work injury. The effects can be devastating both financially and emotionally as an injured workers' livelihood is placed on hold while he or she struggles to find his or her way through an extremely complicated system of benefits.
- Products Liability
Products liability is an area of personal injury law that focuses on dangerous and defective products. Our firm represents plaintiffs in matters against corporations or manufacturers who have sold or manufactured unsafe products to consumers.
- Animal & Dog Bites
Owners of dogs, not the breed or the individual dogs, are responsible when bites or attacks occur. If you live in the Sacramento area and have suffered injuries after being bitten or attacked by a dog or other animal, it is important to know your legal rights.
- Boating and Water Accidents
Boating injuries usually occur because of a reckless or careless operator, boat malfunctions or an inexperienced operator. The Law Offices of Edward A. Smith have handled numerous lawsuits against the owners and operators of private boats and personal watercrafts.
- Medical Malpractice
When you, or a family member, is in the hospital you expect the care you receive to be top-notch, because the staff treating you is highly trained and paid very well. But even with all the expertise surrounding you, mistakes can happen....sometimes with devastating consequences.
- Nursing Home Negligence
The Law Offices of Edward A. Smith is a personal injury firm, member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and handles select California nursing home abuse and elder abuse cases. The Law Offices of Edward A. Smith are committed to protecting the rights of the elderly and enforcing elder law.
- Pedestrian Injuries
Among the most serious traffic incidents that can occur are those which involve pedestrians. Lacking any protection whatsoever, a pedestrian is completely vulnerable to serious injuries when struck by a moving vehicle. Even a relatively slow-moving vehicle can cause fractures and other major injuries to a pedestrian due to the significant momentum of the vehicle's mass and the hardness of the vehicles outside surfaces in comparison to human flesh.
- Slip & Fall Accidents
At the Law Offices of Edward A. Smith, we have experience handling slip-and-fall incidents of all types, including slips on food and foreign substances in restaurants and supermarkets, trips over badly aligned sidewalk edges and other dangerous surfaces, and falls down stairs that are in poor condition and/or not built to code.
- Neck, Back & Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can be severe and life altering. Our firm understands that your immediate goals after going through such trauma are to get your medical bills paid and covered, make sure you do not suffer financially through any lost wages, and make sure your insurance company will pay for future treatment relating to your injuries.
- Head and Brain Injury
Edward A. Smith is a member of the Brain Injury Association of America. He has handled many TBI cases and is well experienced in the legal steps of proving and evaluating brain injury cases. If you believe that you or a family member may have suffered a traumatic brain injury as the result of another person's negligence, you should seek immediate medical care for the injury and you should seek the advice of an attorney experienced in these cases.
- Premises Liability
When an accident or injury occurs to a visitor or tenant living on another person's property, the owner of the property may be liable (legally responsible) if it can be proved that their negligence led to the injury. If you've suffered an injury of this type which you believe may be a result the negligence of another person, you may be able to file a lawsuit to recover the costs involved to pay for your medical bills, any lost earnings or other pain, disfigurement, emotional distress or permanent physical disability you have suffered.

State of the Art
That P in PC Now Stands for Picture
By DAVID POGUE
Published: February 28, 2002
When film cameras ruled the earth, it wasn't hard to devise a crisp, efficient system for organizing photos. Most people adopted variations on the Oscar Madison technique: 1. Stuff prints into shoe box. 2. Stuff shoe box into closet.
That system won't last long in the digital age, however. Once you've bought the equipment, digital photography is free — there is no cost for film or developing — so people snap far more shots than they did with film cameras. Even Michael Jordan's shoe boxes wouldn't hold them all.
And besides, these days, making prints may no longer be the point. Because your photos are electronic, you can use them as fodder for all kinds of newfangled presentations, from slide shows to screen savers. All you need is a good piece of software to organize, find, print, send and otherwise manipulate your pictures: a digital shoe box. It says something about the evolution of the personal computer that both Apple and Microsoft are emphasizing features for managing digital photos, not typical office documents, in their latest operating systems.
This kind of software goes far beyond serving as a centralized viewing stand. For example, even the most bare-bones photo- management program can dish up an onscreen slide show, perhaps with musical accompaniment and professional-looking crossfades, with one image fading out as the next appears. These picture parades — on a big, illuminated screen that everyone can see at once — put to shame the traditional act of passing around individual drugstore-developed photos to waiting family members. (For one thing, it's extremely difficult to crossfade between 4-by-6 prints.)
Going digital also means that you can send pictures by e-mail. Unfortunately, that's not always a simple prospect, thanks to an underpublicized quirk of digital photography: modern digital cameras generate huge photo files, suitable for high-quality printouts. But that's far too much information for displaying photos on a computer screen, which has a far lower resolution than printers do. As a result, e- mailing a photo file without first shrinking it to a screen-friendly size will tie up your modem, and your unsuspecting recipient's, until Thanksgiving. The best photo-management software can perform this photographic liposuction with a click of the mouse.
If your family and friends are Internet-savvy, another photo- sharing option is turning your shots into a gallery on the Web. When your admiring public visits the resulting page, they encounter miniatures of the photos on which they can click for the full- size versions. A good digital-shoe-box program not only builds these Web pages for you but even uploads them to the Web, requiring neither fees nor technical expertise.
Fortunately, you don't have to look far for a program that performs many of these tasks: your digital camera probably came with one. It may be called, for example, ZoomBrowser (provided with Canon cameras), NikonView (Nikon) or MGI PhotoSuite (Sony). And if you crave more features — or fewer, with the goal of a less cluttered design — you're still in luck: there's not a software category alive as densely populated as this one. There's practically a different program for every man, woman and child in America.
For example, Mac fans are likely to find happiness in a fast, richly featured cataloging program called iView MediaPro ($50, at www
.iview-multimedia.com, for Mac OS 8.6 and later). Windows users have dozens of options, but most are variations on the same design theme: you see a map of your hard drive's folders on the left, a toolbar across the top and, in the main window, thumbnail images of your photos.
Some of these programs are far too complex for the occasional shutterbug whose life doesn't revolve around photography. ACDSee ($50, www.acdsystems.com), for example, opens up with four stacked toolbars teeming with buttons. Others, like CompuPic, are very fast and easy to navigate, even if they lack a feature here and there, like the ability to send out scaled-down photos by e- mail ($40, www.photodex.com). In between, you can find programs like Ulead Photo Explorer ($30, www
.ulead.com), which offers every feature in the book yet doesn't require a course at the Learning Annex to figure out.
By far the most interesting development in the digital-shoe-box arena, however, is the appearance of photo features with the latest operating systems from Microsoft and Apple. Using these built-in features instead of the software that came with your camera benefits you in a few ways. First, you won't have to change your software when you buy a different camera — not a bad feature, since improved camera models come out with every phase of the moon. Second, by sticking with software that fits harmoniously with your operating system, you enjoy a look and design you already know.
Of course, Microsoft and Apple have something to gain, too: they hope that these features will entice you to upgrade your operating system to the latest version.

One Pan Chicken Tikka
Food lately:
- The Wednesday farmers market is back. That means Tastebud pizza! It meant that I ate a leftover veggie burrito for breakfast in order to not waste the burrito but still have pizza for lunch. Priorities.
- Hat Yai. Hat Yai. Hat Yai. Southern Thai food is so good.
- I'm finally getting into this whole rotisserie chicken craze. Pollo Bravo and Chicken and Guns. Each different and so good. Pollo Bravo makes me miss Spain all over again. Tapas for days.
- Still obsessed with Tehuana Oaxaca Cuisine. The guys at this cart continually blow my mind with their specials — housemade chorizo and some spicy camarones? Yes please.
- Brunch at Ya Hala is pretty stellar. No wait. Interesting options. Fried chicken and cheesy couscous for breakfast. Enough said.
This one pan meal comes together as easy as a one pan meal should. The highlight of the whole thing is the marinade for the chicken. It is a deliciously spicy yogurt mixture that I left on the chicken for only the minimum amount recommended because I was impatient and
hangry hungry. If I could have the foresight to leave it on overnight or at least since that morning because I imagine it would be that much better. Looking at it now, it's not the prettiest thing I've made [beige!], but since when has that stopped me? We nearly ate the entire head of cauliflower in one sitting. Roasted cauliflower is so underrated, especially when it's roasted in chicken fat and the residual marinade.
Inspiration: Smitten Kitchen
- 2lbs chicken pieces, bone in and skin on
- 2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1-2 jalapenos, depending on spice preference [two!]
- 1/2 cup whole-milk yogurt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/4lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into same-size chunks
- 1 3/4lbs cauliflower [basically one head], cut into florets
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
Use a small food processor to mince the ginger, garlic, and jalapenos together. If that doesn't exist in your world, feel free to mince. Mix this delicious mixture with the yogurt, 1 teaspoon of salt, cayenne, turmeric, cumin, sugar, paprika, and garam masala in a large freeze bag. Add the chicken and seal the bag. Toss the chicken in the mixture and massage it into the skin. Marinate it in the fridge for at least the time it takes you to prep the vegetables, or longer if you have the time.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, cauliflower, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cumin seeds with the olive oil. Spread the vegetables on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Nestle the chicken in with the vegetables. Roast for 20 minute. Stir the vegetables and roast for another 15-20 minutes. The vegetables should be tender and the chicken cooked through. I like to use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is in the 165° range internally before allowing it to rest.
Allow to cool before serving.

This utility patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Ser. No. 60/574,741 filed on May 26, 2004.
The present invention pertains to devices for performing gastric bypass surgery for morbidly obese individuals, and more specifically, to a gastric bypass band which creates a small gastric pouch from the esophagus and a portion of the proximal stomach This invention also details the gastric bypass surgery method that is performed in conjunction with the application of the gastric bypass band.
In the United States, obesity affects the health of 80 million adults, or 35 percent of the adult population, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. American children are also becoming increasingly affected by obesity, as 9 million, or 15 percent of the child population has fallen victim to this disease in recent years.
Morbidly obese individuals are identified as those where the disease of obesity has advanced to where the individual has a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 40 or a BMI of over 35 along with other "co-morbidities" such as diabetes or high blood pressure. To reach a BMI of 35, a 5-foot-10-inch man or a 5-foot-4-inch woman would need to weigh 243 pounds and 204 pounds, respectively. For these individuals, dieting has often become a futile effort, as while some pounds may be shed, over time it has been found that these pounds are often quickly re-gained. Due to the health threats posed by their condition, morbidly obese individuals have turned to gastric bypass surgery in increasing numbers as an effective method to lose weight.
There are a number of methods of gastric bypass surgery, as well as a number of medical appliances which have been developed to assist in the application of these methods. However, most methods of gastric bypass surgery operate on the theme of creating a reduced-size "gastric" pouch" out of the stomach, which remains connected to the small intestine. The pouch restricts the amount of food entering the body to a fraction of what would normally enter an unrestricted stomach. Once the pouch is full, the patient often experiences the same feelings of fullness and satiety as would be experienced with an unrestricted stomach.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,771,903 issued to Jakobsson involves a method of gastric bypass surgery where the lower part of the esophagus is dissected and a band is applied around the lower part of the esophagus and an upper part of the stomach to form a small gastric pouch which upon filling with minimal food gives the patient a feeling of fullness or satiety. The band is inflatable and serves as a type of restrictor valve to regulate the amount of food passing from the banded upper gastric pouch to the unrestricted lower stomach. The band can be selectively inflated or deflated, depending upon the amount of food that is desired to be passed from the upper to lower stomach.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,572,627 issued to Gabbay discloses a system to inhibit the expansion of the stomach. The system involves placing a band about midway along the patient's stomach to create a restricted, smaller stomach. The system also employs a section of webbing that is placed around the upper half of the now restricted stomach. The webbing helps limit the expansion of the upper stomach.
Other inflatable band devices include the Lap Band™ System from Inamed Health of Santa Barbara, Calif.; the Heliogast™ gastric band from Helioscopie of Vienne Cedex, France; the Midband™ from Medical Innovation Development of Villeurbanne, France; and the Swedish Adjustable Gastric Band (SAGB) from Ethicon Endo-Surgery of the United States. These devices are placed around the stomach at its top or midpoint to create a smaller stomach.
The Proring� and Siliband� are gastric bands, both from Innovative Obesity Care of Saint Etienne, France, which require that the top of the stomach and esophagus first be stapled to form a small stomach pouch. The Proring� and Siliband� are then placed at the bottom of the pouch to form a restrictor valve for regulating the passage of food materials into the lower stomach. The Proring� has a closeable latch with a male-female engagement which is locked by the placement of a suture. The Siliband is closed and attached with sutures.
The prior art gastric band devices and their associated medical procedures have a success rate of about 65%, with many patients experiencing weight gain again after 5 years. Also, the following complications can result from existing devices and procedures.
First, the adjustable band devices can have a cross sectional contact width as large as 1″ which has been found to cause the leakage of pouch contents into the peritoneal cavity, should these devices erode into the gastric pouch. The body is unable to form scar tissue around, and seal off, such a wide band device. This erosion problem is serious in that some deaths have occurred, and in lesser cases, these prior art bands have had to be removed, or else additional surgeries were necessary to repair leakage problems.
Second, the adjustable band devices have a tendency to accidentally enlarge, thereby letting more food through the restricted area than desired, and causing weight gain to return.
Therefore, a need exists for a gastric bypass band which does not promote leakage of pouch contents into the peritoneal cavity and which further does not accidentally enlarge, thereby allowing weight gain to return.
The foregoing reflects the state of the art of which the inventor is aware, and is tendered with a view toward discharging the inventor's acknowledged duty of candor, which may be pertinent to the patentability of the present invention. It is respectfully stipulated, however, that the foregoing discussion does not teach or render obvious, singly or when considered in combination, the inventor's claimed invention.
The invention is a method for performing gastric bypass surgery and an inventive gastric bypass band used along with the method.
The method of surgery involves separating the esophagus and a portion of the proximal stomach from the top of the remaining major portion of the stomach. The separated portion is used to form a small gastric pouch that can hold between 20-30 cc (about ⅛ cup) of food material. The inventive gastric bypass band is then placed in the mid-portion of the pouch to create a valve-like opening which will cause solid foods to stay in the gastric pouch for awhile, to give the sensation of a "full stomach." The band also prevents stomal dilation, that is the stoma, or opening between the pouch and small intestine (described further below) is prevented from dilating.
Still in reference to the inventive method, the small intestine is bisected to create a top section and a bottom section. Preferably, the top section includes the duodenum which retains all of its capability to receive liver bile, enzymes, and pancreatic secretions. The bottom section is connected to the bottom of the gastric pouch so that any food materials that pass by the gastric band restriction will empty directly into the small intestine for further digestion. The top section is then connected to the bottom section of the intestine which allows liver bile and pancreatic secretions from the top section to come into contact with the partially digested food materials that have been traveling from the gastric pouch down to the bottom section. Liver bile begins fat digestion for the first time and as a result, fats are only partially absorbed, contributing to greater weight loss.
The majority portion of the stomach comprising the remaining stomach and duodenum is completely separated from the manufactured digestive tract consisting of the gastric pouch and bottom section of the small intestine. The majority portion is sewed against the inner body cavity wall of the patient, and a radiopaque marker band is placed between the majority portion and the body cavity wall. A gastrostomy tube is placed through the marker band for immediate post operative care and the radiopaque marker band functions as a marker to locate this stomach site if it becomes necessary to place a gastrostomy tube for decompression or to feed the patient normally through the stomach or else to allow the surgery to be reversed and the stomach reconnected at a later date. The inventive gastric bypass band is also radiopaque.
The gastric band device which also comprises the invention is comprised of an expansion-resistant section that is attached to a latching mechanism. Preferably, the latching mechanism is of a one-way, male-female design, which comes together from opposite ends of the expansion-resistant section. When the latch is engaged, the band device assumes a radial shape which encircles the gastric pouch at a location selected by the surgeon. The radial shape and small width of the band helps prevent the device from becoming ingrown into the gastric pouch and/or causing tissue necrosis. The radial shape is best achieved if the opposite components of the latch are curved to aid in forming the radial shape upon joining the ends of the latch together.
It has been found that over time, using experimental fore runners of the inventive device and method, when employed together, resulted in patients maintaining their weight loss in 90% of the cases that are followed beyond 5 years post-surgery. This, compared with a success rate of only 65% of weight loss beyond 5 years post-surgery for the prior art gastric bypass surgery methods and banding devices, illustrates a large advantage of the inventive device and method.
As such, the following objects and advantages are sought to be achieved by the inventive gastric bypass band device and medical method:
An object of the invention is to provide a gastric bypass surgical method which bypasses the majority of the stomach and duodenum, thereby resulting in less post-surgery expansion of the gastric pouch.
Another object of the invention is to provide a gastric bypass band device which is available in multiple sizings to be able to meet any surgical situation.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a medical method and associated gastric band device which results in maintaining a 90% weight loss, beyond 5 years post-surgery, in morbidly obese patients.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device that can be easily placed and removed less invasively, laparoscopically, thereby reducing surgical recovery time to around three weeks.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be brought out in the following portions of the specification, wherein the detailed description is for the purpose of fully disclosing preferred embodiments of the invention, without placing limitations thereon.
The invention will be more fully understood by reference to the following drawings which are for illustrative purposes only:
Referring to
Referring now to
Above the anastomosis and above the bottom of the pouch 30, about 2 cm, is placed the inventive gastric bypass band device 32. The gastric band device acts as a restrictor valve which controls the emptying of partially digested food materials from the gastric pouch 30. The gastric band 32 is preferably placed at the distal portion of the gastric pouch 30. When the inventive gastric band is in place, the portion of the pouch above the gastric band is 15 to 20 cc in capacity and the portion of the pouch below the band is about 8 to 10 cc in capacity. This compared to the normal 2000-3000 cc capacity of the stomach illustrates the restriction in food intake provided by the gastric pouch. Once the gastric pouch is full of food materials, a feeling of satiation is experienced, resulting in anorexia. The gastric band device 32 preferably ranges in size between 5.5-7.0 cm in inner circumference. In addition to its function as a restrictor valve, the gastric band 32 prevents stomal dilation, meaning that the restricted opening provided by the band never expands in size due to the expansion-resistant construction of the device. Moreover, the pouch 30 is more resistant to expansion than the stomach. The relative size of the pouch ensures that excessive expansion does not occur. Patients that have been X-rayed five years post-surgery show that the pouch has not expanded by much. Morever, the small size of the pouch insures that if a patient over-eats, the food will back up into the esophagus, thereby causing the patient to regurgitate the food. This factor operates as a self-regulating feature, and for this reason, patients are counseled to keep their food intake to a minimum.
The duodenum 16 is re-joined to the small intestine 18 to form a Y-limb 34, with one deviation of the limb going upward to the duodenum and the other deviation proceeding upward to the gastric pouch 30. The intestine-intestine connection 36 forms an anastomosis (not shown) of approximately 2 cm, that is wide enough to allow food to pass through easily. At the point of anastomosis, pancreatic juices and liver bile from the duodenum can now come into contact with the partially digested food that travels down the second section of the intestine from the pouch. Liver bile begins fat digestion for the first time, and as a result, fats are only partially absorbed, thereby helping contribute to weight loss. Sugars are absorbed, but discouraged as part of the patient's diet, because with the stomach disconnected, they go directly into the intestines, causing some patients to have "Dumping Syndrome." This is a very uncomfortable feeling of cramps, flushing, fast beating heart, weakness and sometimes watery stools.
The stomach 14, although disconnected, remains fully functional, and if necessary can be reactivated by reversing the surgery and re-connecting the stomach segment 28 and small intestine 18 to their prior, natural, state. The stomach 14 can also be reactivated by placing a temporary gastrostomy tube 38, as shown, through which food can be routed, should this be necessary. To facilitate the reactivation of the stomach 14, the stomach opening 40 can be marked with a radiopaque marker band 42 or disk, that is sutured to the abdominal wall, thereby making it clearly visible to allow the surgeon to find the stomach entry site 40 on an X-ray, to allow easy reactivation.
The inventive gastric bypass band device 32 that was introduced previously, as being crucial to the successful result of the inventive surgical method, will now be described in terms of its preferred embodiment. Referring to
Erosion is caused by tissue necrosis, where tissue dies when the supply of blood to the area is cut off. Prior art larger, thicker, band devices, have been know to necrose when the food pouch begins to sag, making a deep sack out of which food has difficulty being passed. This food begins to decay in the pouch, which can lead to necrotic complications. The larger, thicker, prior art devices penetrate the necrosed area in time, creating a break in the gastric pouch, which can lead to leakage of the pouch contents into the interior of the body cavity. In the worst cases this can lead to death; in the minor cases, additional surgery is necessary to repair the breached pouch. Contrastingly, fewer pouch breaches are experienced with the present invention than with the prior art devices.

Display caption
The bed is no longer somewhere for rest or privacy in this sculpture. Hatoum has precisely reproduced the form of a single bed so that the top surface swells along the edges like a soft mattress. But any suggestion of comfort is denied by the steel plate material she has chosen, more usually associated with industrial architecture or military defences. The textured metal would leave an imprint on the flesh of anyone lying on the divan. This relates to Hatoum's earlier performance and video work exploring forms of physical and political oppression.

kimngrant on Feb 16, 2016
LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Beautiful print. Can't wait to frame and hang it (already have it leaning against things on the front entry console and it looks fantastic). Highly recommend this artist.
Colorful and energetic. Vibrant and moving.
Amanda Michele Brown is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Amanda was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and grew up just outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Art in 2010 with an emphasis in Printmaking and Painting after spending a semester abroad London.
Her work is inspired by the natural world from the smallest microscopic form to flora and fauna and beyond to intergalactic constellations. Working primarily in watercolor and pen + ink, she gravitates toward vibrant color and intricate patterns. Each piece shows the duality of nature, how the largest things in the universe echo the smallest organisms we can see, through explorations of pattern and structure.
Her work has been shown across the United States and as far as Australia. She lives with her partner, Matt and dog/studio assistant, Molly Moopy.

This is my first time to the SEMA Show, and the New Products Showcase
is very cool. I like the way it's laid out by categories, and I'm
amazed at all the things that I didn't know about.
Any good idea or product is worth protecting—especially if it's the mainstay of your business' success. However, the process of protecting your intellectual property (IP) may seem daunting.

text: Michigan News Petition To Ban Prevailing Wage Moves Forward, Pot Legalization Stalled By Jake Neher • May 27, 2015 A state elections board has given a green light to a petition drive to ban prevailing wage requirements in Michigan. The petition language mirrors legislation currently in the state House that would end laws requiring union-level pay and benefits for workers on publicly-funded construction projects. Those bills appear to be stalled. House Committee Begins Michigan Road Funding Hearings By Rick Pluta & WEMU Editor • May 21, 2015 Flickr / jakelv7500 A special state House committee has started to look for ways to pay for roads and transportation after voters overwhelmingly said "NO" to Proposal One. Gov. Snyder: Helping Inmates Find Jobs Key To Stopping Cycle Of Crime By Rick Pluta & Jake Neher • May 19, 2015 Gov. Rick Snyder outlined a public safety agenda on Monday that includes parole and sentencing reforms, job training for inmates, and more help finding a job once they're released from prison. Snyder says there are data-driven ways to reduce the state's prison population without compromising public safety. Michigan Lawmakers Debate State Health Insurance Exchange Ahead Of SCOTUS Ruling By Jake Neher • May 18, 2015 The U.S. Supreme Court will soon hand down a ruling that may decide whether thousands of Michiganders can afford health insurance. The court could strike down insurance subsidies offered under the federal health care law. That's in states like Michigan where the federal government runs the health care exchange. Prevailing Wage Repeal Clears Michigan Senate By Jake Neher • May 14, 2015 Legislation to repeal prevailing wage laws in Michigan has cleared the state Senate. Those laws require union-level pay and benefits for workers on publicly-funded construction projects. Critics of the change say it would hurt thousands of working families. Senate Panel Votes To Scrap Prevailing Wage In Michigan By Rick Pluta • May 13, 2015 A state Senate committee has adopted a Republican proposal to scrap prevailing union wage requirements on publicly funded construction projects. The bills now go to the Senate floor. Rick Snyder Skeptical Of House Speaker's Road Funding Ideas By Rick Pluta • May 12, 2015 State House Republicans could introduce legislation to boost road funding as soon as this week. Unions, Bill Supporters To Spar Over Prevailing Wage This Week In Michigan By Jake Neher • May 11, 2015 Wikimedia Commons / Nikopoley Unions are expected to push back this week against bills that would repeal prevailing wage laws in Michigan. A state Senate panel is expected to hold hearings on Senate Bills 1, 2, and 3. The legislation would ban laws requiring union-level compensation for workers on publicly-funded construction projects. Michigan Senate To Consider Prevailing Wage Repeal Next Week By Jake Neher • May 8, 2015 The state Senate will move forward with legislation to end prevailing wage requirements in Michigan. The state and many communities require that workers on publicly-funded construction projects get union-level pay and benefits. Rick Snyder, Michigan Lawmakers Sort Through Proposal 1 Wreckage By Rick Pluta • May 7, 2015 Michigan Public Radio Network Voters said no Tuesday to Proposal One by a margin of almost four-to-one. But, as unhappy as people were with the ballot question, they're still unhappy with the state of Michigan's roads. So Governor Rick Snyder and lawmakers say they'll go back to work on finding money for roads – and they will heed the lessons of Proposal One. Michigan Senate Approves $54 Billion Budget With Dems Opposed By Jake Neher • May 6, 2015 Wikimedia Commons / Nikopoley A $54 billion plan to fund schools and state agencies through the next fiscal year has cleared the state Senate. Listen Listening... / 0:33 The Senate's budget plan includes increases for early childhood reading and school programs in high poverty areas. Voters To Decide Fate Of Proposal One And Road Funding By Rick Pluta • May 5, 2015 Wikipedia Since January, Governor Rick Snyder has been traveling the state with his rock collection – more accurately, hunks of concrete, asphalt, and brick from crumbling roads and bridges. "This is a piece of Michigan road," he says he holds up a chunk of concrete twice as big as his fist. "This is the kind of thing that can fall on your vehicle or go through your windshield. That's scary folks." Listen Listening... / 3:23 The governor spent the last full day before voting begins on those scary roads trying to convince voters to support Proposal One. Voters are about to decide whether to raise Michigan's sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent. If they approve Proposal One, that generates $1.3 billion to fix roads and another $300 to $400 for schools and local services. If it's voted down, Governor Snyder and the Legislature go back to the drawing board. Prospect Of Marijuana Legalization May Help Medical Pot Bills Pass By Jake Neher • May 1, 2015 Bills to expand access to medical marijuana in Michigan may be benefiting from efforts to legalize recreational marijuana in 2016. At least three Michigan groups are already pursuing petition drives to legalize marijuana in 2016. Protest Closes Eighteen Detroit Schools By Rick Pluta • Apr 30, 2015 Eighteen schools in Detroit were closed Thursday due to staffing shortages. Teachers and other school personnel took the day off to head to Lansing to protest Governor Rick Snyder's plan to overhaul the district. The plan includes enabling more charter schools to open in the city. Gov. Snyder Declares Flint's Financial Emergency Over By Jake Neher • Apr 29, 2015 Gov. Rick Snyder says the city of Flint no longer faces a financial emergency. That means a state board will oversee the transition back to local control of the city's finances. The governor says Flint has shed more than $600 million in long-term liability costs. And the state just authorized a loan to eliminate a $7 million deficit in the city's general fund. SCOTUS To Hear Challenge To Michigan Same-Sex Marriage Ban By Rick Pluta • Apr 28, 2015 Rick Pluta / MPRN Crowds gathered as the US Supreme Court prepared to arguments on whether same-sex marriage bans like Michigan's violate the Constitution. A line of people camped out for several days hoping to get into the historic arguments before the Supreme Court. Listen Listening... / 3:13 For April DeBoer, it's been a bit longer. Senate Committee To Hold Hearing On Religious Freedom Restoration Act By Rick Pluta • Apr 27, 2015 A state Senate committee will hold a hearing tomorrow (Tue.) on legislation that could limit the reach of a US Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage. State Senator Rick Jones chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will hear testimony on a proposed Michigan Religious Freedom Restoration Act. But Jones says no vote is expected on the legislation – in part because Governor Rick Snyder doesn't support it. Michigan Insurance Panel Oks Auto No-Fault Overhaul With Rate Rollback By Rick Pluta • Apr 24, 2015 Flickr/ ODOT A state House committee has approved some big changes to Michigan's auto no-fault insurance law. It would set new limits on what hospitals could charge insurance companies. It would also guarantee, for two years, at least, motorists will save money on their coverage. MI Senate Committee Oks Faith-Based Exceptions For Adoption Agencies By Rick Pluta • Apr 23, 2015 A state Senate panel has OK'd bills that would allow faith-based private adoption agencies that take public funds to turn away same-sex couples. The bills come as the US Supreme Court is about to hear arguments on whether Michigan's ban on same-sex marriage violates the Constitution. A decision is expected this summer. Faith-based agencies say they shouldn't be forced to violate their religious beliefs if the court strikes down the marriage ban. And, they say, some faith-based services may simply close their doors. Michigan House Takes Up No-Fault Overhaul By Rick Pluta • Apr 22, 2015 A no-fault insurance overhaul continues to move quickly through the Legislature. The state House has opened hearings on two bills adopted last week by the state Senate. State Representative Tom Leonard (R-DeWitt Township) chairs the House Insurance Committee. "My top priorities are ensuring that we keep the best benefits in the country and also finding ways to lower rates for our consumers," he said. "We need rate relief for our consumers. The latest numbers I've seen -- $4,000 per-premium in Detroit, $2,500 for the rest of the state, and they're going up every year." Michigan Lawmakers Take Aim At Antiquated, Duplicative Reporting Requirements For Schools By Jake Neher • Apr 7, 2015 State lawmakers could rethink how much and what kind of information schools are required to report to the state. Schools must report financial, academic, and other information. But school groups often complain the number of mandated reports diverts too much time and too many resources away from classroom instruction. Gov. Snyder Open To Deal For State To Assume Detroit Public School Debt By Jake Neher • Mar 31, 2015 Gov. Rick Snyder says he's open to the idea of the state taking over debt from Detroit Public Schools (DPS). A long-awaited report released this week by the Coalition for the Future of Detroit Schoolchildren recommended the move. It urges the state to assume hundreds of millions of dollars in DPS debt. Michigan House Approves Bill To Cut Welfare Payments If Kids Persistently Miss School By Rick Pluta • Mar 26, 2015 Michigan families could lose their cash assistance if one or more of their children persistently miss school. That's under a bill approved by the state House on Thursday. The Michigan Department of Human Services (MDHS) already cuts off welfare payments due to child truancy. House Bill 4041 would put that policy into state law. Model Civil Rights Ordinance For Local Governments Includes LGBT Protections In Michigan By Jake Neher • Mar 25, 2015 The Michigan Civil Rights Commission hopes to help local governments draft non-discrimination laws. Listen Listening... / 0:39 The commission has released a model civil rights ordinance communities can use as a template for their own laws. MI Democrats Propose Rollback Of Marriage Ban With Anniversary Of Deboer Decision By Rick Pluta • Mar 20, 2015 michiganmarriagechallenge.com At the state Capitol in Lansing, Democrats have called for a new statewide vote on Michigan's ban on same-sex marriage. It was approved by voters in 2004. Democrats rolled out a package of legislation that would also repeal state laws that discriminate against same-sex couples. One would recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. Another would specifically allow gay and lesbian couples to jointly file state tax returns.

I was thinking on buying it couple months ago. Looks like I inspected everything. I went to google typed theclothingbroker.com scam, ripoff -nothing came out. I went to Scam.com, Ripoffreport.com - nothing.
After that I trusted.
From the theclothigbroker.com Nala and Company I bought designer clothes guide on May 6, 2008 and could never download the guide since that. Every time I tried to download on Acrobat Reader 8, the msg was saying that the Acrobat Reader 8, can not open the file because the guide file was damaged or was not correct decoded.
I wrote 8 eamils maid 3 phone calles and left msgs. and they never responded to me to fix the broblem. They lied to me and took my money.
I am ripped off.
I am disputing my almost $33 with paypal, they will investigate the company.
Accidently I found another same source of info like one from this fake theclothinbroker.com compare:
I contacted to the italian site and they responded right away.
Thank God now I know which company is real.
Be careful.

Bute-Johnson Heads To Quebec City, Undercard Info
By Richard Cloutier
For the fourth time in his career, Lucian Bute (29-0) will stage a fight in Quebec City. This time, the IBF super middleweight champion has a rendezvous at the Pepsi Coliseum on November 5th, as he faces Glen Johnson (51-15-2), a former world champion who recently lost a split decision to WBC champion Carl Froch in the Super Six semi-finals.
The fight was officially announced during a press conference at City Hall in Quebec, with the mayor Régis Labeaume and the two fighters being present.
Describing the fight as the "biggest challenge in the career of Lucian Bute," coach Stephan Larouche said the two men had been involved in nearly 100 rounds of sparring against each other. At time of their sparring sessions, Bute was preparing for his rematch against Librado Andrade in 2009. That fight also took place in Quebec City and Bute scored a knockout in the fourth round.
The remained of the undercard will be presented in the near future by InterBox. BoxingScene.com has learned, however, that NABO super middleweight champion Renan St-Juste (23-2-1), and prospect Pier-Olivier Côté, should be in action in that evening with opponents being finalized in the near future.
Richard Cloutier is a publishing editor for Canada for Netboxe.com and BoxingScene.com. He's a member of Boxing Writers Association of America, an Elector for induction inot the International Boxing Hall of Fame (Canastota, NY.), and also the author of numerous books including the biography of former WBC super middleweight champion Eric Lucas, former WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal, and current IBF world champion Lucian Bute. Follow him on Twitter: @RichardCNetboxe.

Houston, 10 September (Argus) — Expected corn conditions in the US Dakotas improved markedly over the last week despite ongoing drought.
The percentage of the North Dakota crop expected to be good or excellent climbed 7pt compared to last week to 54pc, as surveyors shifted more of the crop out of poor and fair categories, according to the latest US Department of Agriculture crop progress report
South Dakota corn improved 14pt to 21pc good or excellent, with a large gain in the percentage of corn considered good.
Overall conditions in the 18 major corn producing states remained steady at dismal. Just 22pc of the crop in those states is considered good or excellent, compared to 53pc last year. Only 48pc of the crop in those states is considered fair, compared to 80pc in 2011.
Conditions in Iowa improved very slightly, higher by 3pt over last week to 16pc good or excellent. Illinois and Indiana each improved 1pt over the same period, to 5pc and 9pc good to excellent, respectively.

Mark Shea's Blog: So That No Thought of Mine, No Matter How Stupid, Should Ever Go Unpublished Again!
Now we see where Joe Biden gets his material.
To be fair, #2 isn't bad writing. It's just an accurate transcription of a spoken sentence. Said sentence is convoluted and, if I'm correct, has one too many negatives, but that's the way people talk. Long sentences don't work as well in speech as they do in writing (where they don't work as well as people who use them like me, like to think) because by the end of the sentence, the speaker often forgets how the beginning was constructed. I catch myself doing that all the time.

Ado - a rapid active commotion (framework for web-projects on Mojolicious)
require Mojolicious::Commands; Mojolicious::Commands->start_app('Ado');
Ado is a framework for web-projects based on Mojolicious, written in the Perl programming language. This is the base application class. Ado
ISA Mojolicious. For a more detailed description on what Ado is and how to get started with Ado see Ado::Manual.
Ado inherits all attributes from Mojolicious and implements the following ones.
Returns an instance of Mojo::Home pointing to the base directory where Ado is installed.
~$ ado eval 'say app->ado_home' /home/berov/opt/public_dev/Ado
Returns the current
#/where/is/your_app/rootdir $app->home;
Returns the root directory into which $app is installed. The guessing order is the following:
$ENV{MOJO_HOME} is defined, it is honored.
$app->moniker is found, e.g.
bin/... This may happen to be the same as "ado_home".
Access the Ado::Sessions instance. Instantiates one of Ado::Sessions::File, Ado::Sessions::Database or Mojolicious::Sessions depending on configuration and returns it. By default (no configuration in
etc/ado.conf) a Mojolicious::Sessions is returned.
Ado inherits all methods from Mojolicious and implements the following new ones.
Sets various default paths like
public. Defines "secrets" in Mojolicious as sha1_sum of
$moniker.$mode. $home. Sets "controller_class" in Mojolicious and "namespaces" in Mojolicious::Routes to ${CLASS}::Control. Sets "namespaces" in Mojolicious::Plugins to
['Mojolicious::Plugin', "${CLASS}::Plugin"]. Sets "namespaces" in Mojolicious::Commands to
$CLASS is usually Ado. Then calls the following methods in the order they are listed. Returns void.
You can amend this behavior in the application configuration file.
$ENV{MOJO_CONFIG} and if not set sets it to
$app->home/etc/ado.conf. Loads Mojolicious::Plugin::Config to do the rest of the dirty work. Returns $app.
Does not accept any parameters. Loads plugins listed in
$config->{plugins} is an
ARRAYREF in which each element is a
HASHREF with keys
name and
config or string representing the plugin name. The name of the plugin is expected to be string that can be passed to "plugin" in Mojolicious. The
config values is another
HASHREF containing the configuration for the plugin. Plugins can be Mojolicious or Ado specific plugins. Every Ado::Plugin::Foo must inherit from Ado::Plugin which
ISA Mojolicious::Plugin. Of course Mojolicious plugins can be used - we count on this. There are plenty of examples on CPAN. Returns $app.
Does not accept any parameters. Loads predefined routes from
$config->routes is an
ARRAYREF in which each element is a
HASHREF with keys corresponding to a method name and value the parameters that will be passed to the method. Currently we use the
route value to pass it to "route" in Mojolicious::Routes,
params value is the second parameter to instantiate the route.
via and
to values are passed to the newly created route. See Mojolicious::Routes::Route and Mojolicious::Guides::Routing for more.
Returns $app.
Defines any MIME types listed in
ado.conf in
types => {...}. Returns $app.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
"The Chase Series" (2012) print triptych and powder coated steel statues by HACER.
"Out With The Old" is the newest show at Library Street Collective, a modern and contemporary art gallery that opened just last year in the burgeoning art district developing downtown between Woodward and Comerica Park. The gallery represents a wide array of artists, but focuses on those who have developed their visual presentation style through public art, including well-known streets artists such as REVOK and Tristan Eaton.
"3801 Martin" (2013), found object assemblage by REVOK.
A pair of untitled works by Tristan Eaton/Trustocorp.
"Out With the Old" is a large and long-running show that opened Saturday, August 3 and continues through October 1. It avails itself of the huge gallery space, which is comprised of a large storefront walk-in on Library Street and an adjacent second-floor space of several thousand square feet, still in the process of being finished.
Views from the second-floor extension space.
The show is extremely well-curated under the direction of Matt Eaton, who also flexes his curatorial chops as director and curator of the Red Bull House of Art, a residency program that opened its 5th cycle for display last week. The current show at LSC features more than 20 artists, but still manages a kind of visual cohesion that is difficult to achieve with so many different participants. Amongst its weaponry, the LSC aesthetic includes bright colors, cartoonish imagery—both original and remixed—and a meticulous collage and mixed-media style. Overall, a very strong and engaging show providing a lot of eye candy. Be sure to visit the upstairs gallery and leave yourself enough time to taste it all!
Meticulous painting and collage work by Jim Houser. "Things Fall Apart" (2013) and "Halves" (2013).
"Neon Reapers (With Skulls) Orange" (2013) by Richard Colman.

San Diego wasted no time in scoring, as they put up six runs on five hits in the bottom of the first inning. With one out, Louie Lechich began the hit parade with a solo home run to right centerfield, giving USD its first run of the game. Connor Joe kept things going with a single through the left side, and he moved to second on an Andrew Daniel single to centerfield. After Troy Conyers drew a walk to load the bases, Josh Goossen-Brown drove in Joe with an RBI single. Austin Bailey then drew a bases-loaded walk, and Jesse Jenner drove in the next run with a sacrifice fly to centerfield. Kyle Holder then capped the scoring for the inning with a bases-clearing triple to right field to give USD a 6-0 lead.
After USD scored two runs in the bottom of the second inning to take an 8-0 lead, the Norse took back three runs in the top of the third inning. The NKU runs came on run-scoring doubles by Zac Asman and Logan Spurlin to move the score to 8-3.
USD then went on to score three runs in the third, fourth, and fifth innings, and added on two more in the eighth to put the game at its final of 19-3.
Offensively for the Toreros, Lechich led the way, as he went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI. Joe also had a great day at the plate, as he went 3-for-5 with a double, while Holder went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a triple.
PJ Conlon (1-0) picked up the win on the mound for the Toreros in dominating fashion, as he allowed three runs, one earned, on five hits, while tying a career-high with nine strikeouts. Conlon was complete lights out on the mound, as he retired 11 consecutive batters between the third and seventh innings. NKU's starting pitcher Cody Cooper (0-2) was saddled with the loss for the Norse, as he allowed 11 runs, one unearned, on 11 hits in 2.2 innings of work.
The Toreros will return to action on Saturday, as they resume this four-game series with a double-header. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. inside the friendly confines of Fowler Park.

Runtime is when a program is running (or being executable). That is, when you start a program running in a computer, it is runtime for that program. In some programming languages, certain reusable programs or "routines" are built and packaged as a "runtime library." These routines can be linked to and used by any program when it is running.

For a number of years, technical writers resisted "runtime" as a term, insisting that something like "when a program is run" would obviate the need for a special term. Gradually, the term crept into general usage.
