|As a Peace Corps Volunteers, you will have to adapt to conditions that may be dramatically different than you have ever experienced and modify lifestyle practices that you now take for granted. Even the most basic practices— talking, eating, using the bathroom, and sleeping — may take significantly different forms in the context of the host country. If you successfully adapt and integrate, you will in return be rewarded with a deep understanding of a new culture, the establishment of new and potentially lifelong relationships, and a profound sense of humanity.

Few countries in the world offer the level of mail service we take for granted in the United States. Airmail from the United States to major cities in Ethiopia typically takes 2-4 weeks to arrive. Volunteers have been pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the Ethiopian postal service, but delayed and lost mail does occur. Advise your family and friends to number their letters and to include "Airmail" and "Par Avion" on their envelopes. Packages normally take 3-4 weeks to reach Ethiopia via airmail. Sending packages by ground mail can take up to a year to arrive so make sure to let your friends and family know this.
Your address during training will be:
Your Name/PCT
US Peace Corps/Ethiopia
P.O. Box 7788
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
You will purchase a personal postal office box once you move to your site. Mail arriving in Addis Ababa, after you have obtained your own postal office box, will continue to be held at the Peace Corps office until you pass through on official business or when a Peace Corps/Addis Ababa staff member visits you at your site.
Almost all sites have telecom centers with international long distance. Peace Corps/Ethiopia provides a telecommunications allowance. Cellular telephones are widespread in Ethiopia, although coverage varies across the country. You will have the option of purchasing a SIM card and phone during pre-service training (PST); almost all current Volunteers have mobile phones.
Computer, Internet, and Email Access
Internet access is available at Internet cafes in most towns and cities, but can be slow and costly, so most Volunteers use Internet about once every few weeks. Designated computers in the resource center at the Peace Corps office have Internet access, and you are welcome to use these when in Addis Ababa. Many Volunteers bring laptops for research, digital photos or entertainment, but as with any valuable item, there is a risk of theft or damage.
Housing and Site Location
As a Volunteer, you will most likely live in a peri-urban or small town and have electricity and a water source at your house, although these services suffer frequent outages and shortages in Ethiopia. When it comes to your housing, you should not lose sight of the guiding goal of the Peace Corps. Maintain your focus on service to the people of Ethiopia and not on the level of your accommodations.
Housing varies greatly among sites, so Peace Corps sets minimum housing standards:
- There must be a private, lockable room with a private entrance, if housing is shared with other people
- The room should have windows
- The roof should not leak
- There should be a cement floor and a place for a Volunteer to bathe
- There should be a latrine that is private or semiprivate with a cemented floor
- The Volunteer will use the same water source as his or her community
Your site assignment is made during PST in collaboration with the training staff. Site placements are made using the following criteria (in priority order):
- Medical and security considerations
- Priorities of the Ethiopian government
- Site requirements matched with technical, crosscultural, and language skills of Volunteers
- Personal preference of the trainee (expressed during interviews with staff)
Living Allowance and Money Management
Each Volunteer receives a monthly allowance sufficient to cover basic costs. The allowance enables Volunteers to live adequately according to the Peace Corps' philosophy of a modest lifestyle. It is based on the local cost of living and is paid in local currency. Your living allowance is intended to cover food, housing, clothing, transportation from home to worksite, utilities, household supplies, recreation and entertainment, incidental personal expenses, communications, and reading material.
Food and Diet
In most parts of Ethiopia there is a regular, although limited, selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. Butcher shops sell beef and lamb, live chickens can be purchased at market and in areas near lakes, and fresh fish is available. With a little creativity, you can enjoy a varied diet. Fruits and vegetables are seasonal, which means some items may not be available at all times. Vegetarian Volunteers will have little difficulty continuing their diets, as Orthodox Christians "fast" by eating a vegan diet on Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the year. Vegetarianism, however, is not common, so be prepared to explain your habits. Meat is eaten during special occasions and holidays, so it may be prudent to discuss your vegetarianism with host families early to avoid embarrassing or offending them.
All Volunteers will be expected to travel in Ethiopia using local transportation (i.e., foot, bicycle, public buses, minivans –called "blue donkeys due to the way they drive in tight traffic). Volunteers may not own or operate motorized vehicles in Ethiopia. Peace Corps will provide a stipend for Volunteers wishing to purchase a bike (with helmet) at site. If you purchase a bike, you are required to always wear a helmet while riding.
Geography and Climate
Most of Ethiopia is expected to enjoy a tropical climate due to its proximity to the equator, but since most of the country's land mass is above 4,920 feet (1,500 meters), that is not the case. Ethiopia experiences extremely varied climatic conditions from cool to very cold in the highlands which most of the population inhabits, to one of the hottest places on Earth at the Danakil Depression.
Social Activities
The most common form of entertainment is socializing among friends and neighbors. Some Volunteers visit other Volunteers on weekends and holidays. The Peace Corps encourages Volunteers to remain at their sites as much as possible to develop relationships with community members, but it also recognizes that they need to make occasional trips to regional centers and to visit friends.
You will find it easy to make friends in your community and to participate in weddings, funerals, birthday celebrations, and other social events. It is impossible to overemphasize the rewards of establishing rapport with supervisors, co-workers, and other community members. A sincere effort to learn the local language will greatly facilitate these interactions. chelsea rae harris
Professionalism, Dress, and Behavior
Ethiopians regard dress and appearance as an outward sign of the respect one holds for another individual. Neatness in appearance is more important than being "stylish." Volunteers should always wear clean and neat clothes. Buttoned shirts for men and blouses and skirts or dresses (to or below the knee) for women are appropriate during business hours. T-shirts are appropriate only for casual, non-business activities. Tank tops, see-through blouses, or low-cut blouses are not appropriate; exposing one's shoulders is unacceptable. Blue jeans should not be worn during business hours unless the conditions of the job assignment or training activity allow it, and never when visiting government offices. Shorts may be worn only at home, when exercising (if appropriate), or when doing work. Aside from dress, there are other standards of appearance that must be respected. Women should wear appropriate undergarment, including bras and slips. Your hair should be clean and combed. For men, beards should be neatly trimmed.
The matter of sexual behavior is, of course, a highly personal one. However, because of other social implications of such behavior, it is important that Peace Corps standards be clear. Sexual mores in Ethiopia are very conservative and strict, and you are expected to respect them. Public displays of affection between members of the opposite sex, such as kissing, hand holding, or hugging are not generally socially acceptable, though hand holding among men is very common. Homosexuality is illegal in Ethiopia and punishable by imprisonment or deportation. Further information will be provided during your PST on appropriate and inappropriate sexual behavior.
These restrictions have been formalized in response to specific instances of inappropriate dress and behavior by Volunteers. In general, the above guidance is meant to convey to Volunteers that adherence to professional standards is appropriate at all times and in all places. When in doubt, look to your Ethiopian counterparts for guidance. If the country director determines that willful disregard of cultural standards is jeopardizing your credibility or that of the program, you may be administratively separated from the Peace Corps.
Personal Safety
More detailed information about the Peace Corps' approach to safety is contained in the Health Care and Safety chapter, but it is an important issue and cannot be overemphasized. As stated in the Volunteer Handbook, becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer entails certain safety risks. Living and traveling in an unfamiliar environment (oftentimes alone), having a limited understanding of local language and culture, and being perceived as well-off are some of the factors that can put a Volunteer at risk. Many Volunteers experience varying degrees of unwanted attention and harassment. Petty thefts and burglaries are not uncommon, and incidents of physical and sexual assault do occur, although most Ethiopia Volunteers complete their two years of service without personal security incidents. The Peace Corps has established procedures and policies designed to help you reduce your risks and enhance your safety and security. These procedures and policies, in addition to safety training, will be provided once you arrive in Ethiopia. At the same time, you are expected to take responsibility for your safety and well-being.
Each staff member at the Peace Corps is committed to providing Volunteers with the support they need to successfully meet the challenges they will face to have a safe, healthy, and productive service. We encourage Volunteers and families to look at our safety and security information on the Peace Corps website at www.peacecorps.gov/safety. Information on these pages gives messages on Volunteer health and Volunteer safety. A video message from the Director is on this page, as well as a section titled "Safety and Security in Depth." This page lists topics ranging from the risks of serving as a Volunteer to posts' safety support systems to emergency planning and communications.
Rewards and Frustrations
Before accepting this assignment, you should give ample thought to some of the potential obstacles you will face. Until your adjustment to Ethiopia is complete, you will undoubtedly feel out of place speaking a new language and trying to practice customs that may seem strange to you. No matter what your ethnic, religious, or racial background is, you may stick out as someone from outside the Ethiopian culture. However, many situations can be overcome with a sense of humor and an open mind.
Your work situation may also present many difficulties and frustrations. Most of your work will be to educate, motivate, and organize community groups, an often slow task. You will find yourself in situations that require an ability to motivate yourself and your colleagues and take action with little guidance from your colleagues and counterparts. You must possess the self-confidence, patience, and vision to continue working toward long-term goals without seeing immediate results or feedback. Co-workers, severely underpaid and burdened with extended family commitments, will have a much different outlook on life than your own, and rainy and agricultural seasons will delay many project activities. As each Volunteer's job description will be uniquely dependent upon the expressed needs of the community and the skills that you bring, you will be constantly defining and redefining your role as you attempt to meet the needs of your community. This is both a gift and a challenge. A gift in that you are free to work in areas where you are needed most, and a challenge in that you must invent and reinvent yourself in an oftentimes unstructured work environment. Defining your role and finding your "niche" within your community will be one of your greatest challenges, but one that can be achieved with time, personal drive, resourcefulness, and a flexible and patient mind.
Peace Corps service is not for everyone. More than a job, it requires greater dedication and commitment to serve than do most other work environments. It is for confident, selfstarting, and concerned individuals who are interested in assisting in other countries and increasing understanding across cultures. If you have the personal qualities needed to accept the challenges described above and can demonstrate them for a two-year service commitment in Ethiopia, you will have a rewarding, enriching, and lasting experience, while at the same time making a much-needed contribution to the development of Ethiopia.
Even with the many economic, social, political, and environmental challenges facing Ethiopia today, there is an atmosphere of excitement and hope. The changes occurring are some of the most important in the country's modern history. To join the people of Ethiopia in this effort, and to be part of this historical and defining moment, will be both fascinating and satisfying to Volunteers willing to work hard, be tolerant, and give generously of their time. The HIV epidemic strikes across all social strata in Ethiopia. You will probably be working regularly with people living with HIV/AIDS. Volunteers need to prepare themselves to embrace these relationships in a sensitive and positive manner. It is important to be aware of the high emotional toll this disease can have on Volunteers and take care to maintain your own emotional strength so you can continue to serve your community.

I want to start to wean and I don't think i'm ready to wean completely, but when I refuse to nurse her she throws a big fit and sometimes she'll even hit me or pull my hair (at which point I don't give in) but it is becoming a problem. I've been trying to limit her feedings, but when we're at home she wants to nurse all day. Sometimes she can be distracted, but it's very difficult. I'd appeciate any sort of advice. Thanks!!!

Headlines (Campus Updates)
Internet access restored
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Feb 6/13
On Feb. 5, the Internet connection on Laurier's Waterloo campus experienced periodic episodes of significant data of unknown origin. Users experienced difficulty making Internet connections including, but not limited to, MyLeaningSpace and GroupWise web access.
Information Techology Services (ITS) found the affected machines and removed them from the network shortly after 1 a.m. on Feb. 6. Laurier's Internet connection is running as it should today.
ITS is conducting a forensic analysis to determine the cause. In doing so, ITS hopes to:
- make the necessary changes to the university configurations so this will not happen again
- determine if there are any other affected devices that may cause significant network problems.
Thank you for your patience.

Harry Anthony, chief operating officer for Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC), calls South Texas the western capital of in-situ mining.
UEC has both in-situ mining operations and a processing plant right here in South Texas. The processing plant is located in Hobson, near Karnes City.
Once the uranium is removed from the company's in-situ mine in Palangana, Duval County, it goes through an ion exchange process and is placed on tiny resin beads for transport by truck to the UEC processing plant in Hobson.
The state-of-the-art plant is only one of two in the state of Texas. The other operates in Brooks County.
The plant is run by Greg Kroll, site superintendent, who has worked with uranium since he started at the Hobson Facility in 1979, when he was still in high school. He left the facility in 1996 to explore other options but was asked to return in 2006.
According to Matt Welch, UEC spokesperson, Everest Uranium originally permitted and constructed the processing facility in 1978. It has changed hands several time since then.
"They (Everest Uranium) owned the processing facility until 2006, when it was sold to Standard Uranium, who in turn promptly sold it to Energy Metals Corporation (2006)," he said. "Energy Metals began the rehabilitation in 2007, at which time Uranium One purchased Energy Metals and completed the upgrade to the facility. At the end of 2009, UEC acquired all of Uranium One's assets in Texas, including the Hobson facility."
The facility was reopened for production by UEC in January 2011 after additional upgrades and renovations.
Doug Winters, senior chemist, was told UEC "wanted a first-class laboratory," and that is what the company now has. The lab is used to test different samples of uranium as it makes its way from the resin beads to final yellow cake product.
The lab also analyzes water samples. Winters said if anything unusual ever shows up in a test, the staff takes another sample.
"Most errors turn out to be sampling errors," Winters said.
His pride and joy in the lab is an ICP-mass spectrometer.
"It can measure from very high to very low concentrations of uranium," he said.
Down the hall in the simple, metal building located on the plant site is an operations room. The room contains a desk full of computers that can manage all of the outside activities on the pad site remotely. It also allows for staff to monitor ongoing operations.
Outside the building is where the actual change takes place... from a material on a resin bead to yellow cake uranium.
The beads come to the plant in a truck and are unloaded, and uranium particles are cleaned from the beads and stored in a solution. The beads are loaded back in the truck and taken back to the mining site, where they can be reloaded again and again. The uranium taken off the beads is stored in a liquid that is mostly water. The pH levels are adjusted, and the fluid is pumped from one holding fluid tank through a series of other tanks, each tank having a higher concentration of uranium and less water than the tank it was in before. After the storage tanks, the material moves into the filter press, where the solids are taken out and fresh water is run over the uranium. At this point, the uranium is in a wet form, then it is transported to the dryer, where it is thoroughly dried and packed in drums for shipment. The completed product is a fine material, almost like flour, that is yellow in color.
It is packed into 55-gallon drums. With uranium being one of the heaviest elements, the drums can weigh up to 1,000 pounds each. The current market value on uranium is about $51 a pound, and each of the barrels is worth approximately $45,000 on the open market.
"Currently, the Hobson Facility is permitted to process 1,000,000 pounds a year," Welch said. "Approximately 250,000 pounds/year from Palangana is anticipated each year. That amount will increase as more production areas come online."
The facility will have the ability to expand if production levels rise as the company hopes.
"Hobson has the physical capacity to process up to 2 million pounds as presently configured," Welch said. "With some minor investment in additional vacuum dryer and filtration equipment, the facility can easily double this level of production."
UEC considers Hobson to be the hub of the company's Texas operations.
"The company's business plan is a hub and spoke model," Welch said. "The Hobson Processing Plant is the hub, and our production areas (Palangana now, Goliad soon and Bee County in the future) are the spokes. The plan is to acquire, permit and mine up to six different projects and provide up to 3 million pounds a year to the U.S. market."
The company is doing exploratory drilling in other South Texas counties including Bee, Karnes, Goliad and Live Oak.
The United States currently imports more uranium than it produces, and UEC hopes that, by increasing domestic production, that can change.

Highly Flexible Routing for the Enterprise
End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco 7500 Series Router
The rapid expansion of the Internet has fundamentally changed the way organizations conduct business. With this growth, enterprise customers are seeking higher bandwidth aggregation of WAN links to the Internet. Likewise the service provider community is faced with meeting the continued demand from consumers for Internet access. These factors are driving service provider and enterprise customers to solutions that optimize network density, bandwidth aggregation, availability, serviceability, and operational costs.
The high-performance Cisco 7500 Series Router remains the market leader due to its breadth of advanced support for LAN/WAN services, redundancy, reliability, and performance.
To learn more about the Cisco 7500 Series Router, please visit the Relevant Interfaces and Modules page.
A distributed architecture using Versatile Interface Processors (VIPs) is the key to the Cisco 7500's scalability. Each VIP has its own processor, which is capable of switching IP data packets and providing network services. This scenario allows the overall system performance of Cisco 7500 routers to scale up when they need to handle more high-speed network connections and more data packets. The RSP is still the master of the system. It runs routing protocols with other routers in the network to gather switching intelligence, which is then downloaded to the VIPs so that each can switch IP packets on its own.
In addition to performing packet switching, the VIPs can also provide a set of distributed IP network services, including access control, QoS, and traffic accounting (NetFlow). With the VIPs off-loading these IP switching and service functions from the RSP, the RSP can devote all its CPU cycles to handle other essential tasks. VIP distributed switching is the way to scale up system performance, and should be enabled where possible, to significantly reduce CPU utilization on the RSP.
Since its launch, the Cisco 7500 Series router has seen huge improvements in performance and its ability to scale.

MWC 2015: everything you need to know [updated: full highlights]
MWC 2015 was a tour de force of the latest and greatest announcements of new gadgets like the HTC One M9, Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Our editorial team covered the event in Barcelona and we've got all updates, news and reviews below.
MWC 2015 news and reviews
Quick links: Here are our top articles covering this year's biggest announcements:
- Galaxy S6 review
- Galaxy S6 Edge review
- Galaxy S6 vs Galaxy S5 comparison
- Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6 comparison
- Galaxy S6 vs HTC One M9
- LG Watch Urbane LTE review (with video)
- LG Watch Urbane review (with video)
Check below for a re-cap of what's happened so far.
MWC 2015: Samsung
At MWC 2014, Samsung released the Galaxy S5. This year, Samsung revealed two versions of the flagship, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. Offering premium feel with a glass and aluminum body, next-gen 64-bit processor, and impressive camera technology, these devices are set to be world beaters.
Watch our hands-on with the Galaxy S6 Edge, where we take you through the features of the latest flagship:
HTC has unveiled the HTC One M9, which looks almost identical to the HTC One (M8). Fans of the previous design are sure to be happy and HTC has suped up the internals with a Snapdragon 810 processor and 20 MP camera on the back.
Here's our HTC One M9 hands-on video, straight from the floor of MWC 2015:
MWC 2015: Sony
Sony revealed two new devices (neither of them are the Xperia Z4 smartphone), these being the midrange inspired Sony Xperia M4 Aqua and the high-end Xperia Z4 Tablet. The Omnibalance design with metal and glass is apparent on the cutting-edge Z4 Tablet, while the M4 Aqua looks like a solid mid-tier device housed in plastic, with 2 GB of RAM and octa-core Snapdragon processor.
MWC 2015: Huawei
The big announcement from Huawei was its Android Wear smartwatch, the Huawei Watch. First impressions are good – the device looks and feels premium. It's is possibly the best looking Android smartwatch to date.
LG also introduced a new Android Wear smartwatch, that being the LG Watch Urbane. The Watch Urbane is essentially the same as the G Watch R, with a different design, however an LTE version was also announced with some interesting new features, like voice calling.
Here is our hands-on video detailing the features of the LG Watch Urbane LTE:
A new line of mid-range LG smartphones were presented at an LG event in London event to coincide with MWC goings-on in Barcelona. The new devices are said to offer an excellent quality / price ratio, but the names are a little strange.
The LG Magna, Spirit, Leon and Joy, vary in size and battery capacity, but very little else. All will launch with Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

Update coming shortly.
MWC 2015: Lenovo
Lenovo launched several devices at MWC 2015. We covered Lenovo's latest tablet in our Yoga Tab 2 Pro review, and will bring you more on Lenovo's new smartphones as the news arrives.
MWC 2015: Asus
Asus was at MWC 2015 too with the Zenfone 2 Mini. As you may recall, the Zenfone 2 made waves at CES recently for being the world's first smartphone with 4 GB of RAM.
We covered the device in our hands-on Zenfone 2 review, and were impressed by what we saw, so to see an even smaller version with the same specs sheet would be great.We'll see at MWC whether Asus takes the ''shrunken flagship'' approach or the ''watered down'' angle.
Did you follow the product announcements of MWC 2015? What were you impressed with the most?

I think it's a form of separation anxiety maybe? She grins really big and crawls over to me when I get to the babysitter's house, but then she starts crying and last night she really freaked out. I couldn't calm her down, although I think she may have calmed down if I nursed her. However, I haven't nursed her at the babysitter's house because it's only 5 minutes from our house, and she has bottle refusal issues. I didn't want her to associate nursing with the babysitter's house at all because I can't go over there during the day.
Anyone else go through this? I feel like she sees me and then remembers that I left her there all day and starts crying. It made me feel so awful.

Man denies selling pot across from schoolBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | April 07,2014WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Windsor man accused of dealing drugs from his apartment across from the State Street Elementary School allegedly kept meticulous records of his sales to customers, according to police.
Clint Tetreault, 56, pleaded innocent this past week to misdemeanor charges of sale and possession of marijuana before he was released from the criminal courthouse in White River Junction on pre-trial conditions.
Neighbors contacted Windsor Police in mid-February and said Tetreault, who has an extensive criminal history, appeared to be selling drugs from his apartment on a daily basis from sunup until about 9 p.m. each evening, with a steady stream of visitors, according to an affidavit filed with the court. Tetreault would also get into cars parked in front of the school while it was in session to conduct what appeared to be brief hand-to-hand sales transactions, the affidavit said.
Windsor Police Sgt. James Beraldi said after receiving the complaint he set up the same evening in an unmarked police car on State Street and, with the help of other officers, began surveillance on the apartment building.
Less than an hour later police watched as a silver van sped away from the building at an excessive rate of speed which led Beraldi to pull it over a minute later on Main Street. Beraldi said the driver of the van, Brandi Crimmin, 30, was crying and immediately surrendered a pot pipe and an eighth-ounce bag of marijuana which she retrieved from her pocket.
Crimmin advised she had just purchased the marijuana from Clint Tetreault for $50 at 114 State St., Beraldi noted in his report. Based on that encounter, the sergeant said he applied for a search warrant and just after midnight, with the help of a police dog, four officers knocked on Tetreaults door, taking him into custody when he answered without incident.
Beraldi said Tetreault claimed he only had a small amount of marijuana in a bedroom dresser drawer that he kept for personal use and that he did not sell any drugs. After telling Tetreault that they didnt believe him on either point, police searched the residence and Beraldi said he found two ounces of marijuana in a large freezer baggie behind a couch in the living room, $3,120 in cash, six cellphones, four notebook computers, a glass bong, a plastic bag full of glass pipes, seven methadone pills and a green ledger.
Police photographs documenting the raid showed a penchant for neatness throughout the apartment, with some of the money that was seized carefully folded into tiny origami sailboats. Beraldi said that flair for organization extended to the green ledger book which he said appeared to list over 62 phone numbers/contacts, mostly of persons (Tetreault) likely has been selling narcotics to.
Tetreaults criminal record stretches back 40 years and includes multiple felony convictions for burglary, breaking and entering, grand larceny, forgery, arson, destruction of property with several violations of probation as well as misdemeanor convictions for possession of narcotics and stolen property.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Pretty sure my marriage institution is intact. How about yours? Any cracks in the foundation?
Seemed fine this morning, although I'd better clean the garage before winter comes to keep it that way. Also pretty sure my wife would frown if I referred to our marriage as an "institution," even if I play the role of asylum resident to some acclaim.
Based on our area legislators' votes, it's a great week for some and a tough one for others. Jack Franks was the only area legislator to vote for the same-sex marriage bill. Still a close vote, with most Republicans voting against approving it, making Illinois the 15th state to do so. All that's left is the glitter, and Gov. Pat Quinn will sign it this month.
It was a historic vote whether you loved it, hated it or remained indifferent. I hope local legislators voted their conscience and not out of fear of political retribution. I'm not certain that all voted with the courage of conviction, which is obviously not required for public office.
I will take state Rep. Barb Wheeler at her word and applaud her for at least stating her opposition. "I'm Catholic, and the message hasn't been more clear to me from my Catholic Church, my bishop and my priest that this is something that is not going to be good for our communities," Wheeler said.
Wheeler sums it up well and probably speaks for the majority of the opposition. I'm Catholic, too, but I respectfully disagree. Mostly because the state of Illinois is not the Catholic Church.
While I respect Wheeler and some others for voting their consciences, I seek no religious instruction from the Illinois Legislature any more than I would seek their financial advice.
And what I definitely don't need from any politician is marriage advice, which is really at the heart of Tuesday's vote. From a legal standpoint, which is what legislators are there to consider, consenting adults should be alllowed to marry. It's about equality, whether you're morally opposed or not.
And that's what confuses me about the conservative position on gay marriage, which flies in the face of everything else most conservatives say. Conservatives want government as far from their lives as possible – it's too big, too restrictive and too intrusive.
So what's more intrusive than standing between two people on their wedding day?
That's what the real conservative position should be. But conservative means something else today, and for some odd reason, instead of focusing on government, it's taken on this air of puritanical fascism that turns most people off.
If they want to make noise about what religion dictates, why isn't it about feeding the poor, loving one another, humility or forgiveness? A sixth-grader in Sunday school knows there's plenty in the Gospels about those matters although nothing direct on gay marriage.
Take a look at the Illinois Republicans who supported gay marriage – Mark Kirk, Judy Baar Topinka, Dan Rutherford. What do they all have in common? They're the only Illinois Republicans holding statewide office.
Do you think cowering in fear over social issues that some find non-negotiable was at the forefront of that success? Americans don't go backward on social issues like gay marriage. The assumed negative impact of allowing about 2 percent of the population who couldn't get married to do so was grossly overstated.
Conservatives have plenty of important messages about government that both Illinoisans and Americans should hear. A stance against same-sex marriage wasn't one of them. And it's getting harder and harder for the public to hear the others over matters that should have little to do with government.

TCL > July 2013 Issue > Disciplinary Case Summaries
The summaries of disciplinary case Opinions and Conditional Admissions of Misconduct are prepared by the Office of the Presiding Disciplinary Judge (PDJ) and are provided as a service by the Colorado Bar Association (CBA). The CBA cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the summaries. The full text of the disciplinary Opinions, when published by the PDJ, follows the summaries page(s). The summaries and full-text Opinions also are accessible from the CBA website: www.cobar.org (click on "Opinions/Rules/Statutes"). Opinions, including exhibits, complaints, amended complaints, and summaries, also are available at the PDJ website, www.coloradosupremecourt.com/PDJ/pdj.htm, and on LexisNexis.®
Summaries of Decisions Issued by the PDJ
No. 11PDJ081. People v. Eberle. 08/29/2012. Attorney Suspended.
The PDJ suspended Robert V. Eberle, attorney registration number 10467, for one year and one day. The suspension was effective August 29, 2012. The PDJ's ruling did not result in an opinion.
Eberle violated Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15(b)(2) and 8.4(h) by depositing and maintaining personal funds in his trust account; Mass R. Prof. C. 1.15(f) by failing to maintain complete records of his receipt, maintenance, and disposition of trust property; Mass. R. Prof. C. 8.1(a)–(b) and 8.4(c)–(d) by fabricating a bill to a client in an effort to mislead Massachusetts Office of Bar Counsel; and Mass. R. Prof. C. 8.4(b), (c), and (h) by engaging in criminal conduct (specifically, shoplifting, larceny, resisting arrest, and driving under the influence). His failure to report his shoplifting and larceny convictions violated Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Rule 4:01, § 12(8). On April 20, 2011, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts suspended Eberle from the practice of law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for one year and one day. In an order granting summary judgment, the PDJ concluded that Eberle's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of reciprocal discipline in Colorado pursuant to CRCP 251.21(e).
No. 12PDJ076. People v. Fiore. 03/15/2013. Attorney Disbarred. The PDJ disbarred David Anthony Fiore, attorney registration number 39729. The disbarment was effective April 19, 2013.
Fiore failed to act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing one client in her Chapter 7 bankruptcy matter. He neglected to file her certificate of debtor education with the bankruptcy court. He did not keep her informed about the status of her case when she attempted to contact him. Fiore's conduct caused the client's bankruptcy case to be closed, and her debt was not discharged.
In a second matter involving another client, Fiore again failed to keep his client informed about her case. In addition, Fiore did not return the client's property when his representation was terminated, and he retained her payment without having earned the fees. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to CRCP 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.4(a)(3), 1.16(d), and 8.4(c). p.153.
No. 13PDJ026. People v. Shaw. 05/14/2013. Attorney Reinstated.
Pursuant to CRCP 251.29(j), the PDJ reinstated Jeffrey C. Shaw, attorney registration number 28827, to the practice of law. Reinstatement was effective May 14, 2013. No opinion was issued.
Summaries of Decisions Regarding
Conditional Admission of Misconduct Issued by the PDJ
The PDJ's approval of a Conditional Admission of Misconduct does not result in a written Opinion but only a brief Order, which does not constitute precedent. Conditional Admissions of Misconduct are public record and are available for review at the Office of the PDJ, 1560 Broadway, Ste. 675, Denver, CO 80202; (303) 866-6658; www.coloradosupremecourt.com/PDJ/pdj.htm. They also are available on LexisNexis.®
No. 13PDJ008. People v. Goff. 05/09/2013. Attorney Suspended.
The PDJ approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Richard James Goff, attorney registration number 19348, from the practice of law for one year and one day, all stayed pending the successful completion of a three-year period of probation with conditions. The suspension was effective May 9, 2013.
Goff was hired to represent a client to facilitate a divorce and a determination of the client's parental rights. Goff failed to advise his client that he could appeal the magistrate's order for a bench warrant. As a result, his client was arrested.
Goff also failed to respond to pending motions in the divorce case, including a verified motion for entry of judgment and a motion for compound interest on child-support arrearage. Goff then failed to forward his client a motion filed by opposing counsel to modify his parenting time. The magistrate ordered the parties to set up a settlement conference and to file mandatory financial disclosures. Goff did not comply with this order. Thereafter, Goff failed to send his client pleadings and failed to respond to other pending motions in both matters. A judgment was entered against Goff's client for $18,382.77, and Goff did not file a timely request for judicial review of this judgment.
Goff then withdrew from the representation and filed a motion for attorney fees against his client. He made misrepresentations to the court about the total amount of his fees and whether the fees accrued in the divorce case or in the modification of parenting time case. Goff's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to CRCP 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.1, 1.3, and 1.4(a)(3) and (4).
No. 13PDJ004. People v. Sandoval. 05/17/2013. Attorney Suspended.
The PDJ approved an amended conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Keith Emory Sandoval, attorney registration number 40679, from the practice of law for one year and one day, with sixty days served and ten months and one day stayed pending the successful completion of a two-year period of probation with conditions. The suspension was effective June 21, 2013.
Sandoval took a retainer from a client without providing her a written statement of his fees. He then told his client that her retainer was nonrefundable. He also failed to respond to her attempts to communicate with him and abandoned her case before a court hearing. In a second matter, Sandoval failed to competently represent his client when he did not file responses to pending motions and improperly subpoenaed medical records. His actions resulted in an award of attorney fees and sanctions against his client. Sandoval's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to CRCP 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.1; 1.3; 1.4(a) and (b); 1.5(a), (b), (f), and (g); 1.15(a), (b), and (c); 1.16(d); and 8.4(d).
No. 13PDJ038. People v. Sensensy. 05/03/2013. Attorney Suspended.
The PDJ approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended David A. Senseney, attorney registration number 03928, from the practice of law for six months, all stayed pending the successful completion of a one-year period of probation. The suspension was effective May 1, 2013.
Sensensy was hired to represent a client regarding her immigration status. Sensensy filed an I-360 petition with the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of his client on June 28, 2007. On November 16, 2009, Sensensy was informed by USCIS that his client needed to provide additional information. Sensensy failed to submit this information by the deadline, and on August 2, 2010, his client's I-360 petition was denied and deemed abandoned. Sensensy refused to fully refund his client's legal fees and instead withdrew from her representation. Sensensy's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to CRCP 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5(a) and (b).
