What our clients say:
I was very impressed with the work undertaken by the team at FWJ. Their commercial approach combined with specialist knowledge and tactical expertise was pivotal in the claim being dropped and costs recovered in full.
I was greatly impressed with the commercial, tactical and technical ability of the team at FWJ. They quickly got to grips with a complex set of facts involving my directorship of a group of nine companies, each one named in the director disqualification proceedings against me. Through their hard work they had the proceedings against me dropped and a significant proportion of my legal fees repaid. They also helped me defend and defeat other claims by the liquidator arising from the liquidation of the group of companies. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
I was delighted by the work done by the team at FWJ. Not only did they help me secure the time I needed to make my new business a success, they then obtained permission from the court for me to remain a director of my new business moving forward. Without that permission, my new company would have been in grave danger. As it is, I can continue to grow it free from the worry of my original disqualification. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their legal and tactical knowledge was spot on"
We instructed FWJ when faced with a Disqualification Claim proposed to be brought by the Secretary of State, for our disqualification. This would have had an incredible effect and in any event appeared to have been brought on a basis of a misunderstanding as to how our business worked. FWJ were very hands on, getting involved from an early stage in seeking to avert an expensive set of litigation proceedings. Later, we also faced a claim proposed to be brought by the Liquidator for recovery of sums which had not been improperly drawn. FWJ also assisted with this and was successful in dissuading the Liquidator from issuing proceedings.
The Disqualification Claim continued for about two years through to Trial and FWJ were able to consider and take us on by means of other types of funding arrangements. The proceedings at Trial lead to a Dismissal of the Disqualification Claim as a result of the hard work of FWJ, and I am more than happy to recommend their services, particularly when it comes to considering complicated issues or complex proceedings.

I want a new flyer producing that will involve some Photo shop work. I want a flyer that shows my motor home (Which is wrapped) in front of a stage set up. I don't have the stage yet but want to make it look as if I do. The motor home is already wrapped and it is for a Hypnotist show- now I need a portable mobile stage drawing in front of the RV so basically it shows me outside at a fairground with my RV as the backdrop and a stage infront of it that attaches to the motor home with LED lights around it and Bose speakers either side- does this make sense??
Let me know if we can work together on this and other projects

Amazing! 8 Books Transformed into Works of Artamberdoty
Have you switched over to an e-reader yet or are you one of the few remaining Luddites that still prefers the feel of the page of a book under fingertip? I am a recent convert. After purchasing a Kindle for my husband as a birthday gift, I slowly came to appreciate the ability to download almost any book I wanted with the touch of a button.
I still sometimes miss holding a book, however. It's the smell I miss most and the fact that you don't have to power them down when taking off or landing during an airplane ride. Sometimes I wonder what will become of all the 'traditional' books. As far-fetched as it may seem at present, I wouldn't be surprised if paperbacks went the way of the VHS and the cassette tape.
I recently stumbled across the work of Isaac Salazar an artist who has a solution for all those old books better than using them to line our landfills. Salazar is rescuing books from his local library's discard pile and turning them into stunning works of art.
Check it out after the jump:
Read 1 of 8Isaac Salazar was on the hunt for a new hobby when his wife suggested folding the pages of a book to create a design. The idea came from a display the couple had seen in a model home. "It dawned on me that it could be used as a way to inspire people, and could also be considered art," Salazar told Reader's Digest.
Dream 2 of 8Each work can take anywhere from three days to five weeks and are created by folding the pages as well as minor cuts.
Aaaah! 3 of 8Salazar uses books he finds in the discard pile of the library. "They may have out lived their life of providing someone with a wonderful story but their story doesn't have to end there. By turning these books into works of art and displaying inspiring words or symbols I feel that I provide a new life and purpose for the books and more importantly give people a reason to once again take a look at books in a new light," he told the Huffington Post
Etsy 4 of 8Salazar has an Etsy shop where his work can be commissioned. He is currently booked through 2013.
Hahaha 5 of 8According to his website, Salazar is a self-made artist and has never taken an art class. Instead, he works as an accountant full-time and makes his creations with in his spare time.
Love 6 of 8"If the title of a book represents a positive and inspiring message that also meshes with the word or design I fold into the book, I can't help but feel that what I am creating is meant to be," said Salazar.
A paw for the pet lover 7 of 8When asked about his choice of medium Salazar said that it was because "in this day and age of growing technology tablets, the book is slowly becoming a dying breed. There are so many books circulating in this world that it would be a true shame to see such "blank canvas's" being discarded."
Wow 8 of 8For more of his work, find Isaac Salazar on Flickr.

This page describes how to create a new Drupal site, starting from an existing site on your local computer.
If you already have a Drupal site you've been working on locally, you can import it into Acquia Dev Desktop. You can also follow this procedure:
- If you want to start with a Drupal distribution that isn't included with Acquia Dev Desktop, then you need to first download the Drupal distribution to your computer.
- If you have an existing Drupal site that's hosted elsewhere than on Acquia Cloud, then you need to first export your Drupal site to your computer.
If you are starting from a Drupal distribution or a Drupal site archive exported from another hosting environment, extract the site archive before you import the site into Acquia Dev Desktop.
Importing an existing site
To import an existing site into Acquia Dev Desktop:
- Click the + button, and select Import local Drupal site. If you are starting from the Welcome window shown in Getting started, you skip this step.
- In the Import local Drupal site dialog, do the following:
- Enter the local folder that contains your Drupal codebase (your local site's docroot).
- Enter a name for your local site. The local site URL will be based on this name, so it can use only characters that are valid for a URL.
- Select a PHP version to use. You can accept the default PHP version; however, some Drupal distributions or modules may require specific PHP versions.
- Specify how to set up the database for your Drupal site. If you're starting from scratch, select Create a new database. If you have content in your existing site's database that you want to import into Acquia Dev Desktop, import the existing site's database, as described in Importing a database.
- Enter a name for your Drupal site's database. In most cases, you can accept the default value, which will match the local site name you chose.
- Click OK.

Belair v. MGA Entertainment, Inc., USCA Second Circuit, November 20, 2012
Click here for a copy of the full decision.
Plaintiff, photographer Bernard Belair, brought suit against defendant MGA Entertainment, Inc., alleging that MGA's Bratz line of dolls unlawfully infringed on a copyrighted image that he created for a Steve Madden shoe advertisement. The district court granted MGA's motion for summary judgment, finding that no reasonable trier of fact could find that any of the Bratz dolls are substantially similar to the figures depicted in Belair's copyrighted image. (Read our summary of the district court's decision here.) Belair appealed and the Second Circuit affirmed, finding no substantial similarity between the subjects in plaintiff's image – the "Devil" Girl and the "Angel" Girl – and the Bratz dolls.
At the outset, Belair argued that the district court improperly applied the more rigorous "discerning observer" test to reach its conclusion that no substantial similarity existed, and that the court should have used the more lenient "ordinary observer" test. The Second Circuit rejected his argument, finding that, under either test, no substantial similarity existed: "We need not conclusively decide which standard should apply because, even under the ordinary observer test, the record reveals no triable issue of fact as to substantial similarity… On our independent comparison of the figures depicted in Belair's photograph and the Bratz dolls, we reach the same conclusion as the district court: the images do not convey a substantially similar aesthetic appeal."
Noting that the subjects in Belair's work shared certain characteristics with the Bratz dolls – exaggerated heads, eyes, lips, and small noses and waists – the court concluded that these "general similarities" are "outweighed and overshadowed by significant distinctions that contribute to the different aesthetic appeals of the Angel/Devil Girls photograph and the Bratz dolls." For example, the court noted that while Belair's photograph depicted two young women of opposite characters, one styled as a "Devil" and the other as an "Angel," the Bratz dolls portray young women who share and are defined by a common characteristic: their "passion for fashion." In addition, the court noted that the subjects did not wear the same type of clothing (beyond "chunky-heeled shoes" that were the fashion at the time), have different hair and makeup (only the "Devil" girl wears extensive makeup like the Bratz dolls, although darker and more "smoldering" rather than the colorful makeup of the dolls; in contrast, the "Angel" doll appears to wear no makeup), and have differing facial expressions (the facial expressions of the Angel/Devil girls show contrasting emotions of rebellion and innocence; the facial expressions of the Bratz dolls are "vacuous and inscrutable").
Bouchat v. NFL Properties, LLC v. NFL Properties, LLC, Bouchat, USDC D. Maryland, November 19, 2012
Click here for a copy of the full decision.
Plaintiff Brandon Bouchat sued the NFL, Electronic Arts, and the Baltimore Ravens for copyright infringement for their respective uses of his copyrighted drawing, which had been incorporated in the Baltimore Ravens' inaugural logo. In prior lawsuits, the Fourth Circuit found that while the Ravens infringed on Bouchat's drawing in the logo, their use of the logo in other situations was non-infringing fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107. In this suit, Bouchat sued the NFL for use of the logo in documentary videos, the Ravens for use of the logo in pictures on their stadium walls, and both the NFL and Electronic Arts for use of the logo in the Madden NFL video game. The defendants moved for summary judgment, asserting that their respective uses are non-infringing fair use. The district court agreed that all the uses but one – the use of the logo in the video game – constituted fair use.
Under 17 U.S.C. § 107, the court must consider four nonexclusive factors in determining whether a use is fair: (1) the purpose and character of the use, (2) the nature of the copyrighted work, (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
Focusing on the purpose and character of use, the court considers whether the use is commercial or noncommercial, whether the purpose of the use falls within one of the categories of purposes mentioned in the preamble to section 107, whether the use is transformative, and whether the defendant acted in good or bad faith. The purpose and character of the Ravens' use of the logo in historical pictures on their stadium walls favored a finding of fair use, according to the court, since the use was analogous to the fair use of copyrighted material in a museum. Acknowledging that the public must purchase tickets to games in order to see the photos, the court found that the photo displays are not part of any incentive for a patron to buy a game ticket. In addition, the photos display the logo for its factual content – for the fact that the logo was used in the Ravens' inaugural seasons, a transformative use of the copyrighted work – and the Ravens used the logo in good faith.
Similarly, the court found the purpose and character of the NFL's use of the logo in documentary films favored a finding of fair use, since the logo was used selectively and as necessary to portray the history of the team. Although the documentary films are commercial in nature, the NFL's substantially transformative uses of the logos in the documentary films – adding commentary, criticism and documented historical facts to the use of the actual logo – substantially transformed the use. The court also found that the NFL used the logo in this instance in good faith.
In contrast, the use of the logo in the video was entirely commercial in that Electronic Arts must have determined that including the throwback Ravens' jerseys containing the inaugural logo had commercial value, according to the court, and, in fact, the addition of the logo alone added the desired nostalgia value to the game.
The court also concluded that, unlike the other uses, the use of the logo in the video game was virtually non-transformative – a distinction that significantly impacted the outcome of the analyses for each respective use. The court had previously held that the creative nature of Bouchat's drawing mitigated against a finding of fair use copying; but because both the Ravens' use in the photo display and the NFL's use in documentaries was substantially transformative, the court found that this factor does not weigh against a fair use finding in this case. In contrast, because the use of the logo in the video game was not at all transformative, the court found that the creative nature of plaintiff's drawing did weigh against a finding of fair use by the NFL and Electronic Arts.
Similarly, the court found that while all three uses incorporated the entire logo – and therefore the entire drawing – this factor was neutralized by the transformative use in the photos and films, but weighed against a finding of fair use in the case of the non-transformative use in the video game. The district court also determined that the transformative use of the logo in the photos and films neutralized the impact of the fourth factor (whether a use has any demonstrable effect upon the market for, or the value of, the copyrighted work), given the minimal commercial aspect of those uses. With respect to the NFL's and Electronic Arts' non-transformative use of the logo in the video game, however, the court found that though Bouchat has no ability, on his own, to license the logo, this does not weigh in favor of permitting fair use.

Hospital tax would shift costs
Profitable facilities would pay portion of care for the poor
Gov. Jim Doyle's proposal to increase federal funding for state health programs through a tax on hospitals would shift some of the cost of providing care for the poor and the uninsured to many of the state's most profitable hospitals.
For this reason, the proposed tax would produce some clear losers and clear winners.
The losers overall would be hospitals in affluent, suburban communities such as Waukesha, Brookfield and Mequon. The winners would be hospitals near poor neighborhoods, such as Aurora Sinai Medical Center and Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare-St. Joseph, both in Milwaukee.
The governor has proposed using some - though not all - of the revenue to pay hospitals more to care for people in state health programs such as Medicaid and BadgerCare.
Those programs pay hospitals and doctors far less than commercial health plans. The number of patients in state health programs might be the single biggest factor in how much money a hospital makes or loses.
The proposed tax would partially offset the role that geography plays in a hospital's financial fortunes.
For example, Elmbrook Memorial Hospital in Brookfield has the largest profit margin of any hospital in the Milwaukee area. It also treats few patients in state health programs. Aurora Sinai Medical Center in Milwaukee has lost money for years. It treats more patients in those programs than any hospital in the Milwaukee area.
For years, the Wisconsin Hospital Association has characterized the state's low reimbursement as a "hidden tax."
The state estimates that hospitals are paid 63% of the cost of treating patients in state health programs. That would increase to about 83% with the proposed hospital tax. The Wisconsin Hospital Association disputes both figures. Yet everyone agrees that what the state pays doesn't come close to covering hospitals' costs.
Hospitals offset the losses by charging commercial health plans higher rates - the so-called hidden tax.
But the hospital association isn't any happier about a more visible tax. It immediately announced its opposition to the proposed tax, labeling it a "sick tax."
George Quinn, senior vice president of the association, noted that not all of the money from Doyle's proposed tobacco and hospital taxes would be used for health care programs.
The hospital tax is expected to bring in $418 million, and the cigarette tax, if increased to $2.02 from 77 cents, would bring $506 million in revenue over two years.
That $924 million would generate more than $1 billion in federal matching funds, or roughly $2 billion in additional revenue.
The current state budget for Medicaid and other programs is $9.5 billion, including federal matching funds, over the two-year budget cycle. Doyle's budget would increase that amount by about $1.5 billion over the next two years.
In other words, roughly $440 million of the additional state revenue would be used for other state programs and initiatives.
But Jason Helgerson, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Family Services, said the proposed tax also would reduce state health programs' reliance on state general funds.
The hospital association and some hospitals worry that even more of the money from the proposed tax could be diverted in future years.
"I have zero faith it will stay with us," said Leo Brideau, chief executive of Columbia St. Mary's.
The health care system, with three general hospitals in the Milwaukee area, would be among the losers under the proposed tax.
The proposed tax comes as the state's hospitals overall have posted record profits, generating $1 billion in net income in 2005, according to information filed with the Wisconsin Hospital Association. In the Milwaukee area alone, hospitals generated roughly $250 million in profits that year.
"They are doing quite well financially," said Bruce Peterson, vice president of Mid American Group Inc., a benefits consultant in suburban Chicago.
But some hospitals are doing much better than others - and by far, the most profitable hospitals are in affluent suburban markets. Not surprisingly, those are the markets that health care systems generally have targeted for expansion.
The biggest winner would be Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. The state Department of Administration estimates the hospital would receive $49.6 million in revenue in the first two years.
Yet Children's Hospital also is a solidly profitable hospital, with a healthy 14% profit margin in 2005. Roughly 40% of its claims are from patients in the Medicaid or BadgerCare programs. But the hospital's position as the area's only children's hospital enables it to negotiate better contracts with health plans than other hospitals.
Not every health care system may oppose Doyle's plan.
"We recognize that Wheaton Franciscan (Healthcare) would benefit significantly," said Anne Ballentine, a spokeswoman for that health care system. But she said Wheaton Franciscan still is analyzing the proposal.
Health plans also might be potential supporters.
Larry Rambo, chief executive of Humana's Wisconsin and Michigan markets, said he hasn't looked closely at the governor's proposal. But he said that it is a way to win federal matching funds.
Rambo notes that part of the cost of providing care to people in state health programs already is passed on to Wisconsin business in the form of the so-called hidden tax.
That said, more people with commercial health insurance live in the area's suburbs. Hospitals in suburbs generally would be among the losers under the proposal.
For this reason, Dave Osterndorf, a principal at Towers Perrin, a benefits consultant firm, doesn't expect employers to support the proposed tax.
That is one of several obstacles the governor faces.
"Any proposal like this creates winners and losers," Osterndorf said, "and the losers are going to be louder in commenting on it."

Downing Street warned Scots today they may have to join the euro as part of the price of independence.
Scotland would also have to reckon with taking on a significant slice of the UK's debt mountain, Downing Street suggested.
As David Cameron and Ed Miliband put on a united front in support of the union, the Government stepped up its skirmishes with Alex Salmond by underlining the financial issues at stake for Scotland.
The Prime Minister's spokesman said there were no guarantees that Scots would be able to keep the pound if they voted for independence.
The question is one

Denis Boytsov Waits For Clearance, Eyes August Return
By Luke Furman
One of the most highly regarding up and coming heavyweights, Denis Boytsov (28-0, 23 KOs), is still waiting for full medical clearance to resume his career. The 25-year-old boxer would like to return to the ring by August, but he can't be sure until a doctor gives him the green light for a comeback. Boytsov has been suffering from injuries to his right hand for quite a while. The problems began in the first half of 2010. He came back to the ring in November to stop Mike Sheppard in two. Despite the lack of activity, Boytsov is still ranked very high by the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF - positioned at third, third, fifth and eighth.
"I plan to fight in mid-August, but nothing is certain. It is too early to talk about the date, and the opponent. If doctors consider that everything is in order, then my promoters will look for my opponent. If the hand is not healthy, I will not spar," Boytsov said.

I hope Boytsov is able to put his hand injuries behind him and get back into the ring soon. He's a solid fighter and is a challenge to anyone in the division not named Klitschko...Post a Comment - View More User Comments (2)
