Does quality writing really make you a better lawyer? On this episode of The Digital Edge, The Importance of Legal Writing, hosts Sharon Nelson and Jim Calloway discuss legal writing with Gary Kinder, founder of the editing program WordRake. Together, they explore lawyers' biggest writing errors, why this is important in the courtroom, and how writing well can help build a positive reputation for a firm. In their conclusion of the episode, they shift the focus to WordRake itself, expanding on what it is, the cost, and why it's effective. They even include a treat especially for Digital Edge listeners.
Gary Kinder founded the software company WordRake in 2012. The company's eponymous software is an automated editing program that suggests changes to improve brevity and clarity.
On a personal note, I write a column, a CLE paper or a book chapter almost every week it seems, and consider myself a fairly accomplished writer. I always get some usable edits and suggestions from WordRake. You probably will, too. Enjoy your "free treat."
I am teaching a free webinar on Wednesday February 8, 2017 at 1:00 pm CENTRAL time. It is titled: How to Ethically Use Technology in Your Practice
It is sponsored by MyCase. Here is the information:
Keeping client confidences secure in the digital age is not always easy, but it certainly is necessary. It seems like there's always some new technology tool or gadget that lawyers are told they "have to" use.
Jim Calloway, director of the Oklahoma Bar Association's Management Assistance Program, will talk about how to ethically use today's technology and which emerging tools are important for lawyers.
Register for our free 60 minute webinar on Wednesday, February 8, 2017 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET to learn about:
Why lawyers cannot ethically avoid using technology tools
Digital security – It's your responsibility
Encryption of email to clients - now required?
The risks and benefits of cloud computing
Emerging technology tools that benefit lawyers and their clients

The idea for my column, Automation in Today's Law Firm, came during a holiday evening in the Calloway household, when my spouse and I were setting up several automated tasks, none of which had anything to do with the Internet of Things.
There has been much discussion among futurists and technologists about how robots and artificial intelligence were moving on from taking the jobs of factory workers to threatening knowledge workers, like lawyers. Yet, some law firms have not implemented some simple and easy-to-use automation tools that are available today.
So Automation in Today's Law Firm is about automation projects you can do today and, that some readers already have incorporated. I end with a few more sophisticated automation tools like IFTTT (If This Then That) and Zapier. These two are not widely in use in the legal profession, but definitely are in use in the legal profession.
Full-blown massive law office automation projects are beyond the scope of the column, but here is some additional reading on automation and artificial intelligence not included in the column:
Benefits and the Climb of Legal Automation by Sarah A. McCromick
Biglaw Automation: Whose Job Goes First? by Michael Allen
How automation is changing the legal profession - an October 2015 roundtable discussion by Gwynne Monahan
How artificial intelligence is transforming the legal profession by Julie Sobowale (ABA Journal April 2016 cover story)
Several hundred academic articles are available for free download at Vanderbilt law School's Artificial Intelligence - Law, Policy, & Ethics eJournal on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). Some provocative titles include Using Machine Learning to Predict Outcomes in Tax Law, Siri-ously 2.0: What Artificial Intelligence Reveals about the First Amendment , and for Issac Asimov fans, The Three Laws of Robotics in the Age of Big Data. My favorite title (even thought I didn't read the paper) was Do Driverless Cars Dream of Electric Sheep?
Discussions about Alternative Business Structures (ABS) in law firms often produce a lot of spirited debates, especially when the proposals about this idea are discussed by American Bar Association entities. Generally ABS refers to various different ideas about non-lawyer ownership or management of law firms. Last year when the ABA Commission on the Future of Legal Services published an issues paper and solicited comments on ABS, various state bar associations and other lawyer organizations reacted strongly and filed comments opposing ABS. Those with an interest can read the Issue paper and comments on the Commission's website. For example, the ABA Family Law Section comment was "On behalf of the Section of Family Law, we pose the following question: WHAT PART OF "NO!" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? We remain unalterably opposed to these repeated, previously failed efforts to foist ABS upon our profession or our ethics."
It is easy to understand the concerns from the legal profession. The practice of law cannot ethically be just about profit-and-loss decision making. So there are concerns that a non-lawyer administrator might tell a lawyer to not do any more work on an matter with a critical hearing date approaching because the client's retainer had been exhausted or tell a lawyer to unethically do more work on a matter where a solution was found relatively quickly with limited expense. But the negative reaction to ABS proposals is often so strong that one wonders if those responding have completely considered the potential benefits.
Our Digital Edge podcast this month is "Will Alternative Business Structures in U.K. Law Firms Cross the Pond?" It is instructive to listen to the story of a major U.K. law firm that has become an ABS, both how they undertook this path and why the lawyers are pleased that they did so. David Beech is the CEO of the professional services firm Knights in the U.K. David has led the business, originally a law firm, since 2011. His vision for Knights is to become the leading regional professional services business in the U.K. He was an outstanding podcast guest and this is a very worthwhile podcast.
If you are one of those lawyers who thinks this is a terrible idea, then that is all the more reason to listen to this podcast. You might learn something. Maybe you will learn of some benefits and changes your firm can incorporate without becoming an ABS. After all, it is not like the proponents of these changes want to allow for this to destroy the legal profession.
Smart use of technology is more important in law firms today than ever before, particularly as the majority of states have added a comment to their Rules of Professional Conduct that lawyers need to appreciate "the risks and benefits of relevant technology" as they serve their clients. ABA TECHSHOW 2017 will be held March 15-18, 2017 at the Chicago Hilton and you won't find a better place to learn about the risks and benefits of today's law firm technology.
Oklahoma Bar Association members can receive a substantial discount on ABA TECHSHOW registration by using Event Promoter code EP1716 when they register and everyone should save by registering by the Early Bird Deadline of January 30, 2017. Other bars are also Event Promoters as you can see here.
ABA TECHSHOW is unique because no other conference has a combination of so many CLE credit-granting presentations, such a huge vendor floor of law office technology services & products and a diverse group of attendees and faculties that include some of the top legal technologists in North America.
As you make your decision on whether to attend ABA TECHSHOW, I encourage you to spend a moment looking at the schedule of presentations on the TECHSHOW website. I'm sure you will find many interesting offerings and some presentations on topics you've never even considered. Not only will you be able to attend many of these CLE sessions, but you will receive the ABA TECHSHOW flash drive with the written materials for all of these sessions. You will also receive PDF copies of the presenter's PowerPoints. I refer back to my ABA TECHSHOW flash drive many times each year.
Register now for ABA TECHSHOW 2017. I hope to see you there and I hope to see a lot of my fellow Oklahoma lawyers there this year.

This week we learned of a new Gmail phishing attack that is sophisticated, ingenious and is going to compromise a lot of Gmail accounts. Read the Forbes story This Gmail Phishing Attack Is Fooling Even Savvy Users and then share either this blog post or that story with those you know who might be using GMail. (This would be great for your law firm to share via social media.)
As I noted, this one is very impressive. When they compromise a GMail account they instantly raid the account and then set up new phishing attacks coming from the compromised user's account to people he/she has in their Contacts or Inbox. Since they have access to everything in your Gmail, they include a relevant subject line from an actual sent email to them as the subject line on the phishing email. Devilishly clever. Someone you have corresponded with gets an email from you with a subject line of a recent email discussion between you. The recipient understandably is more likely to click on the attachment and then enter the requested information.
You can read in Forbes about the clever trick they use to make the login appear legitimate by loading "a full web page worth of code into the browser's address bar."
I get these phishing emails all the time. Just yesterday members of an American Bar Association group I am a part of received an email with a "contract" from the ABA. The attachment appeared to be a normal PDF attachment, but luckily, as you can see below, the email was not that persuasive. ABA staff followed up quickly with a warning.
This story is appearing in the media. But I wanted to make sure you learned the main lesson from this. This one was too good. You can no longer be certain you won't fall for one of these scams.
This is the strongest case you will find for using 2 factor authentication. If you have it set up on Gmail, this exploit accomplishes nothing because the bad guys don't have your phone or fingerprint. And when you next regularly change your password, they will no longer have your password either. If you don't have 2 factor authentication enabled, then they have access to your entire Google account, including Gmail (with perhaps receipts from your online shopping,) Google Wallet, documents you have stored in Google Drive, Google Calendar entries, photos in Google Photos and your YouTube account. What risk this entails to you depends on how you much you use Gmail or Google services.
I'll end by reposting the link to my column Client Confidentiality, Personal Privacy and Digital Security.
Data security and keeping confidential information confidential is an area of concern for everyone who uses computers and the Internet.
The number of online threats continue to multiply and the average computer user has to be aware of some basic precautions. For my column Client Confidentiality, Personal Privacy and Digital Security, I tried to cover a number of areas that are important for basic digital information security.
Everyone can take these security steps. Admittedly some of these require some setup and a few will require changes that make your daily computer tasks take a moment or two longer than is required now. But privacy and confidentiality are important for us all and even more critical for lawyers with confidential client information to protect.
All of these steps are easily accomplished by an average office computer user. No advanced information technology skills are required.
If you have read a bit on end user computer security, you may not find a lot of new information here. But if you made a New Year's resolution to pay more attention to protecting your private and confidential information this year, then this column is a great starting place.
What is the meaning of law practice management today?
In the Jan./Feb 2017 issue of Law Practice Magazine, I try to briefly provide a framework of the basics in my column, the Four Corners of Law Practice Management. Can you guess my four corners? Well, most members of the ABA Law Practice Division can. The Division undertook a study to determine how to define law practice management and these four core areas emerged.
I think I will force the rest of you to click over to our fine digital magazine and discover the four corners.
I will note that one of the corners is marketing and this issue is the Marketing issue of Law Practice Magazine. Marketing is a topic of great interest to many lawyers today. So this entire issue is worth a read. I'll single out three of the many fine pieces. The Lawyer's Internet Marketing Tool Kit by Jason Marsh is a great outline of a number of tools. If you feel behind the curve on online marketing, you wouldn't want to miss this one. How an Introvert Can Build a Thriving Practice by Anne E. Collier is a great treatment of a subject rarely discussed. Everyone can feel like an introvert at times. This is a well-written piece with a lot of great ideas.
Here's a special shout out for my friend, Tom Mighell, on his column, Blogging for Lawyers, Part 1; Choosing the Right Platform. I think a lot of lawyers should be giving blogging another thought. There is a lot of content online now, but lawyers can still demonstrate their expertise by publishing short essays online. That is what lawyer blog posts should be −short essays, often including links to source material. A blog can give you a tool that makes it easy to create your content, then you can push the content out via social media, email, links to it from the firm website or email newsletters. But, hopefully, others will note your good content and share with their group.
Tom's article also demonstrates the challenge of writing for print publications today. He notes Medium as a potential platform. I love the way stories are visually displayed on Medium and had thought about giving it a try myself. But a few days ago, Medium announced major layoffs with office closings and the messages about restructuring were less than clear. It may yet turn into a better venue for smaller firms and solos to post, but at this point it is best to wait and see.
It was on January 2, 2005 that I launched Jim Calloway's Law Practice Tips. So this week the blog is 12 years old. Happy Blogiversary to me and to my loyal readers, some of whom have been with me for all of the 12 years.
One of the reasons I wanted to mention this landmark is that I plan to have a renewed focus on the blog this year, starting with a face lift from the current old tired look, coming soon. I've found myself sharing a lot more on Twitter the last several years because it is quicker. I don't intend to stop that and all of my reader should follow me, @jimcalloway, on Twitter. But tweeting shouldn't take the place of blogging.
I greatly appreciate all of you who have read this blog and supported me over the years. I'm sorry sometimes that I made the original decision not to allow comments, but I don't have any more time to sort through comment spam now than I did 12 years ago. I do greatly appreciate that readers do let me know through their emails when I have gotten something right and when I have gotten something wrong.
I'm going to aim for regular longer blog posts like Echos of Police, Privacy and Alexa. And I'll continue linking to my podcast episodes and my columns in Law Practice Magazine and the Oklahoma Bar Journal. There are a lot of great law blogs and so I am encouraged people still read my posts and share them. I certainly don't lack for topics to write about as there are many new and interesting developments in the practice of law and law office technology. I'm also spending more time with Access to Justice issues and you will be seeing more content about the lawyer's role in improving Access to Justice.
So thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing to pay attention. And if you want to give me a gift, share a link to my blog with someone you know and tell them why they should subscribe or read. (By the way, I know all the cool kids use a feed reader, but I have a large number of readers who subscribed by email with the easy link at the blog site.)
Everyone talks about New Year's Resolutions. My favorite joke is about the New Year's Resolutions Gym concept. It is a gym during January and February, then converts to a bar & night club for several months until just before Thanksgiving. Then it becomes a holiday buffet for the rest of the year. Interested investors can contact me.
Attorney@Work has decided to suggest some good resolutions for lawyers. Every work day this week for their Be It Resolved feature, they have posted suggested resolutions from practice management advisors, technology experts and other lawyer coaches. Today's final offering includes "global strategy and marketing expert Gerry Riskin, practice management advisor Jim Calloway, ethics counsel Megan Zavieh, legal marketing consultant Susan Kostal, and New York lawyer and wellness writer Jamie Spannhake." This is a diverse group and I am sure we can all agree that Attorney@Work saved the best for last. The week's resolutions have been excellent and Attorney@Work has combined all 22 ideas into a free downloadable ebook, Be It Resolved.
The last part of December contains many slow news days because so many people take off work during the holiday season. This week there was a collective sadness with the deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds. (RIP Princess.) This week there was also a collective "freak out" over coverage of a 2015 Arkansas murder investigation where the police were attempting to obtain sound recordings that an Amazon Echo owned by the suspect might have preserved from Amazon. Amazon said no, citing privacy concerns. (The threat to future sales of a very popular product was not cited.) Many of us heard echoes of the Justice Department earlier this year attempting to force Apple to unlock an iPhone owned by the San Bernadino shooter.
A lot of hyperbola in the legal blogosphere, social media and even broadcast media followed the initial coverage. Even lawyer who were supposed to be able to research and analyze before commenting were tripping over themselves with references to Big Brother and statements like "these things are always listening" or "you would have to be crazy to own one of these." Above the Law had a great clickbait headline "Echo Knows What You Did Last Summer, But Can The Cops Know What Echo Knows?" The short column even had a Nixon reference with a warning not to install recording devices in your office.
Since I am now blogging about the Echo this week, I cannot claim complete purity. But after all of the hype, a fact-based post is warranted.
Most reviewers have dubbed the Amazon Echo the best voice-activated home assistant. It has been available since 2014. Google has recently released Google Home, a competing voice activated device that allows access to Google Assistant, so we will see future competition.
At our home, we love our Echo. It was a part of our Christmas fun, playing our Christmas Spotify playlists, trying out the free trial of Amazon Music, enjoying an eclectic Spotify Christmas playlist shared by a friend from Chicago and asking "Alexa" all sorts of interesting questions. Like everyone I have ever talked to who has tried the Amazon Echo, we love ours and are definitely keeping it. It also provides the home tech tool I have long wanted, adding things to your grocery shopping list by voice command only.
It is only technically true to say that the Echo listens all the time. It listens for "wake up words" or more technically stated, activation phrases. For Echo that is "Alexa," and for Google that is "OK Google." (If someone in the household is actually named Alexa, you can change the activation word to Amazon.) When it hears the phrase, it beeps and lights up, waiting for a request or command. Often this can be something as simple and useful as "what's the weather?" or "what are the sports scores?" The Echo records these commands and quickly sends them back to an Amazon data center to interpret them. Yes, they are saved, long with any ambient noise in the background, like a crying baby. For a detailed discussion of how and why this happens and what control you have over it, see this feature on Wired "Alexa and Google Home Record What You Say. But What Happens to That Data?"
Suffice it to say, the smart people at Amazon and Google designed these products to protect basic user privacy because to do otherwise could hurt sales. As the Wired article linked above notes:
"The audio zipping from your home to Amazon and Google's data centers is encrypted, so even if your home network is compromised, it's unlikely that the gadgets can be used as listening devices. A bigger risk is someone getting hold of your Amazon or Google password and seeing a log of your interactions online.
"There are also simple measures you can take to prevent Echo and Home from listening to you when you don't want them to. Each device has a physical mute button, which cuts off the mic completely."
But there is a microphone and so the chance of compromise is not zero. You can also log in and delete all of your saved audio clips to either service. But one of the questions of life today is when is deleted really deleted. I would suspect at least the verbal purchase orders of big ticket Amazon products are saved for some time in case there is a dispute.
I seriously doubt that the Arkansas investigation would find any useful data since it is pretty unlikely Alexa was asked any incriminating questions or there is useful ambient background noise. (By the way, if you are an iPhone user and haven't asked Siri where to bury a dead body, the reply is quite humorous and, given the millions of us who have asked the question by now, probably not incriminating.)
There are incidents of unintended activation such as someone talking about Alexa on television and Alexa waking up in response. The most interesting topic for lawyers is not whether Alexa will record evidence to solve crimes, but whether it might retain ESI (electronically stored information) that could be useful in civil litigation. One can foresee a divorce lawyer seeking the stored recordings of one who used Alexa 100 times a day, hoping to catch the voice of a paramour in the background. E-discovery expert Craig Ball blogged about this possibility back in March and his "Alexa. Preserve ESI" post is great reading on the subject.
Craig also notes that the recordings might be beneficial to the Echo user as well in case one's tech savvy friends add "buy heroin" to your shopping list and you accidently email it to local law enforcement.
By the way, Keith Lee wrote a great post on his Associate's Mind blog titled Amazon Echo Legal Documents where he provided us Alexa Terms of Use, Amazon Privacy Notice, Amazon Conditions of Use and Amazon Law Enforcement Guidelines. It is unsurprising these were drafted to protect Amazon by its lawyers. But one of the comments is, to put it charitably, silly where it says it is "dangerous" for a lawyer to listen to music while doing research. I'd recommend the lawyer use Sonos speakers in the office rather than an Echo, primarily because an unintended activation while a client was in the office might be embarrassing. But I've always found research to be a solitary and quiet activity.
At this point, it is safe to say webcams are a far greater security risk than Echos. The odds of something significant being captured and preserved as ambient noise in a quickly spoken query or command are very small. Meanwhile most business class laptops have webcams built in. A hacker who could record video and audio constantly via your webcam is definitely invading your privacy and could cause embarrassment at a minimum. I've long counseled that if your kids have a webcam their room, it should be covered with a cover or a band-aid on their laptops when not in use. Just a few months ago, hacked webcams were used in a denial of service attack that shut down Amazon and Twitter temporarily.
Fastcase founder Ed Walters is a thoughtful legal technologist. He posted series of tweets this week about what public policy of the privacy of your personal data should be. Your phone's GPS can retain a map of every step you took during the day. Should that be discoverable in a routine lawsuit about something that happened at work? As the Internet of Things gains steam, your connected devices will have a frighteningly complete view of everything you do - your thermostat raises the home's temperature as you drive home, your refrigerator knows what you ate on a given date and your home entertainment system knows what you watched and how often you switched the channels.
In 1988, the Congress passed and President Regan signed into law, the Video Privacy Protection Act, forbidding video tape rental stores from disclosing what videos citizens rented. Obviously that has decreasing application today.
Ed Walters asked how current consumer data uses square with a legal doctrine called the Third-Party doctrine, which, according to Wikipedia says "that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have 'no reasonable expectation of privacy.' A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant."
Ed thinks deep thoughts. I just know I am keeping my Echo and will unplug it or use the mute button only rarely. But as we move to a society with many self-driving cars and devices we have not yet thought about, there will be more questions than answers because history tells us that law develops much more slowly than technology. It is no longer the stuff of fiction when most of us will be using voice-activated assistants and Self-driving cars are already deciding who to kill.
Somewhere a lawyer has just gotten his or her first smartphone. Maybe they received it as a Christmas gift. Maybe they were goaded into it by family, friends or co-workers. Maybe they grew tired of being handed a spouse's phone to look at pictures posted by children or grandchildren. Maybe their flip phone just finally died. Regular readers probably don't appreciate how intimidating it would be to convert from a flip phone to today's generation of smart phones. You may not think you are a smart phone expert, but you have amassed a huge smart phone use knowledge base over the years from trial and error, doing some online researching and perhaps even some tips at a legal technology CLE program.
At a recent CLE program I taught, I mentioned how convenient it is to dictate text messages and short emails into a smart phone (when appropriate) instead of typing on the phone's tiny virtual keyboard. A couple of lawyers sitting at the back of the room found that idea so new and empowering that they had to quietly try it out then with a cupped hand over their phones. (See graphic at right above if you have never tried it.)
My Oklahoma Bar Journal column, The Basics of a Lawyer's Smartphone, should be perfect for the new smart phone user, so feel free to share it if you know one of these people. And maybe, like the attendees at that CLE program, you will find something "basic" in it that you have missed as well.
For those who have received new tech devices as a gift this month, your attention is directed to Wired Magazine's The Master Guide to Setting Up All Your New Devices.
I would like for every one of my regular readers to read Why Lawyers Don't Run Startups. It is a bit unfair to lawyers and even includes a sentence about entrepreneurs hating lawyers. But we're tough and we can take it.
This is important for you to read even if you never intend to advise a startup. It highlights the challenges of our profession's traditions versus today's business climate of often risky entrepreneurship. Lawyers are trained to deliver perfect "bulletproof" legal work to their clients. It is our goal to eliminate all risks. When new challenges occur or new risks are identified, we try to protect our clients against those risks. That is how standard business agreements that used to be four or five pages have now evolved to agreements of fifteen or twenty pages. It is not uncommon to see a "simple" thirty page contract. But there's a cost to all of that fine tuning. Clients and their counsel have to spend more time reviewing these longer documents and time is money.
Entrepreneurs and startups are like home run hitters at the plate swinging for the fence. Many entrepreneurs have several previous failures on their resumes. But if you hit the home run, you could be set for life.
A law firm that "hits" a .325 success rate would likely soon be out of business.
So we have this conflict. In the real world and in our personal lives we all constantly make decisions that have a 70% chance of success. A lawyer sees that as 3 out of 10 clients achieving a bad result and then firing the firm, bad mouthing it or perhaps even suing their lawyers. So the understandable reaction is to tell the client to avoid the risk entirely ("don't do the deal") or to prepare onerous provisions for a document that hopefully reduce the risk.
Many lawyers who advise startups have internalized and deal with these challenges. For lawyers who are concerned about too much risk, clear communication and documentation is very important. Avoiding risk is why many civil litigation cases settle on the eve of trial or, as we lawyers say, "on the courthouse steps." We may have to re-examine some of our traditions and appreciate that a five-page contract with a 10% risk is a better client service than a forty page contract with a 9.5% risk. This is easy for a blogger to discuss in a blog post and much harder for a law firm to put into action, especially when all of those percentages of risk are educated guesses to begin with.

We describe a patient with acute generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) treated with the new anti–interleukin (IL)-17A antibody, secukinumab, who showed a remarkable response with almost complete resolution of pustulation after the first injection. To our knowledge, there are no data in the literature evaluating the efficacy of secukinumab in GPP.
A man in his 50s with a 7-year history of GPP was admitted with an acute, severe flare of pustulation. On exanimation, he was febrile, drowsy, and had disseminated, partly confluent lakes of painful pustules primarily over the trunk as well as the upper and lower extremities, with widespread erosions on the lower legs. There was generalized erythema involving 80% of his body surface area (BSA), and his GPP area and severity index was 47.6 (Figure 1A). The GP area and severity index is calculated in the same way as the psoriasis area and severity index except that the scale score is substituted with a pustule score.1 The dermatology life quality index (DLQI) on admission was 25.

I use mine in almost every show. It is well made and built to last. To small for my head but as a fashion item they went out about a hundred years ago. They are perfect for the die box or card fountain. Many uses for this versatile prop. Add to cart and enjoy a well made folding top hat.

The three co-authors of this guide are certified ob/gyns, but they are also women who have personally experienced all the pangs, problems, and miracles of pregnancy. Consequently, this hospitable resource doesn't simply recap medical school anatomy and physiology classes; it addresses all those pre-conception to postpartum questions that mothers-to-be want answered. Thus, the range of expertise covers everything from bumps in the night and morning sickness; to prenatal tests, breastfeeding, and pregnancy nutrition; to cold medications and cesareans. An ultimate guide: The title does not lie.
The Mommy Docs' Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birthby Yvonne Bohn

The pregnancy resource you can trust: medically reliable information, mom-to-mom advice.
If you want the real deal on pregnancy, you've come to the right book! Drs. Yvonne Bohn, Allison Hill, and Alane Park are three top obstetricians who have personally welcomed more than 10,000 babies into the world. But they've been on the other side of the ultrasound too--as mothers themselves, they have each experienced the joys and anxieties of pregnancy firsthand. Morning sickness . . . unexpected contractions . . . midnight feedings . . . even serious complications . . . they've been there! Now they share everything you need to know about this exciting, life-changing journey.
Written in a clear and friendly style, The Mommy Docs' Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth offers the most up-to-date medical guidance. It's packed with real-life stories from new moms and practical tips straight from the Docs' office. From pre-conception to postpartum, you'll find answers to your most pressing questions, including:
- Can birth control pills cause fertility problems?
- When will I start showing?
- Which prenatal tests do I really need?
- Is my baby getting the right nutrition?
- Is it true that I can't touch a cat, eat sushi, or color my hair for nine months?
- If I get a cold, is it safe to take medication?
- How do I create a birth plan?
- What if I go into labor alone?
- If I've had a cesarean delivery before, will I need to have one with my next pregnancy?
- How can I make breastfeeding easier?
This extraordinarily comprehensive guide also includes chapters on diet and exercise, high-risk pregnancies, and the most often-repeated myths. Complete with illustrations of your baby's development, The Mommy Docs' Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth is your reassuring resource for a healthy and stress-free pregnancy.
Editorial Reviews
BookPage, May 2011
"Full of…useful tidbits…With common-sense information and advice on everything from breastfeeding to baby blues, these are the doctors every new mommy wants at her side. The comparisons to the seminal What to Expect When You're Expecting are inevitable, but the Mommy Docs write in a more conversational, matter-of-fact tone…A thorough and useful guide from conception to pregnancy and delivery."
Kiwi (website), 5/1/11
"This definitive guide on pregnancy and birth was written by a team of doctors who happen to be moms, too. So, you have all of the accuracy and dependability of consulting a board-certified OB-GYN, but a touch of friendly advice you'd get from a girlfriend, too. The combination works."
Deseret News, 5/1/11
"A comprehensive guide to pretty much everything that happens from preparing for pregnancy through the 'fourth trimester' after birth."
Deseret News, 6/12/11
"An entertaining, easy-to-read guide for new mothers and mothers-to-be…The anecdotal excerpts are a great plus for this book…A very informative resource for expectant mothers."
Georgia Family, July 2011
"[A] reassuring resource for a healthy and stress-free pregnancy."
ForeWord, July/August 2011
"It's the Mommy Docs' comforting tone that makes this guide both invaluable and appealing. Recognizing that pregnancy is as much about emotional changes as it is about physical changes, they set their guide apart from others by providing heartfelt personal experiences and those of many of their patients. Whether it's a reader's first, second, or even third child, there's good advice for every kind of pregnant mother."
Colorado Parent, 9/4/11
"I'm impressed by how much information this book gives moms-to-be! I especially like that the book doesn't end with delivery but continues on with a section called 'The Fourth Trimester.'…I'd recommend this book to anyone who is pregnant."
Tucson Citizen, 5/12/11 "What could be better than a guide to pregnancy and birth written by doctors who are also moms?...[A] comprehensive new book…Written in a clear and friendly style. Packed with real-life stories from new moms and tested practical tips, this extraordinary guide is a reassuring resource for a healthy and stress-free pregnancy."
Library Journal, 6/1/11
"Throughout, the authors deliver practical tips and emotional support for coping with both complicated and uncomplicated pregnancies as well as the things that can go wrong, such as miscarriages or infertility. Individual stories add a personal dimension to the medical information conveyed…A great resource for anyone seeking information on pregnancy, childbirth, and the first weeks after birth."
Kirkus Reviews, 6/1/11
"Comprehensive and engaging."
Bookviews, June 2011
"As complete a tome on the subject as one could want…If the answer you're looking for in this guide cannot be found, the question is not worth asking. From preparing your body for pregnancy to birth, this is an impressive piece of work."
WomanAroundTown.com, 5/27/11
"If you or a friend are expecting, pick [it] up immediately…As the title suggests, it's written by women who are both moms and doctors, and they totally get it…They deal with frequently asked questions, and refute some pretty interesting myths."
InfoDad.com, 6/9/11
"So filled with medically sound advice, intelligently presented case histories, extensive debunking of myths, and all-around sensible writing, that the book itself becomes a thing you might not expect while expecting: a super-clear, super-helpful, easy-to-read and easy-to-use guide that beautifully balances the medical with the personal."

Renowned and unconventional Indian celebrity chef Harpal Singh Sokhi, on Wednesday, announced opening of nearly 200 restaurants in five formats across the country and overseas by 2019 under the aegis of Yellow Tie Hospitality Management (YTHM), which will invest up to USD 20 million (nearly Rs. 136 crore) in this project.
(This Guy Got Thrown Off The Building For Demanding Extra Onions!)
All these restaurants will come under the exclusive patronage of YTHM, an India-based food and beverages franchise management company, and will be based on franchise model, Sokhi told BusinessLine.
These formats will have offerings on the line up across various segments like fine dining, casual dining and bar and family restaurants.
The investment to be made by YTHM, which had recently roped in Sokhi as the brand ambassador for the Indian launch of American heritage brand Genuine Broaster Chicken (GBC), and also got its menu curated by him, will be in marketing, franchising etc.
The formats
The Twist of Tadka is a family restaurant format offering North Indian/Punjabi cuisine at its two existing outlets in Amritsar and Bengaluru. The entire concept will be relaunched in January 2017 and focus on Tier II and III cities, to expand to 25 outlets in India and overseas.
The BB Jaan restaurant will offer Hyderabadi-Nizami cuisine at sit-down fine-dining places at shopping malls and five to seven star hotel, totaling 10 outlets by 2019. "We are also looking to expand to South East and other Asian markets as well."
(Foodie's Corner : Review Of Newly Opened Tossin Pizza!)
The third format, Dhadoom, will offer Canadian Poutine as the core product. The restaurant brand will be expanded through kiosks and shops.
The fourth format, Haathapie, will be a trendy Punjabi fast-casual dining bar, the first outlet out of the 10 planned would be launched in June 2017.
The fifth format will be Chika Chika, to bring a 'Desi-Chinese' fusion experience to food lovers.
"Dhadoom and Chika Chika outlets would number 75 each by 2019", Sokhi said.
YTHM, which owns India license (master franchisee) rights for GBC, is separately opening 25 outlets by the end of 2016 across India and aims to have 100 leading F&B brands in its portfolio by 2017.
Harpal Singh Sokhi, also known as the "dancing chef of India", is an old associate of Sanjeev Kapoor with whom he co-authored a book, "Royal Hyderabadi Cooking". He has also researched on Ayurveda-based food to improve the nutritive value of the food and hosted popular TV shows like Khana Khazana, Harpal Ki Rasoi, Kitchen Khiladi, etc. In 2013, he launched his own restaurant chain The Funjabi Tadka (TFT), the flagship outlet being at Kolkata.

J-PAL affiliate Clément Imbert started his career as a research assistant on an evaluation with the Rajasthan police. He is now starting an evaluation of a job training and placement program funded by India's Ministry of Rural Development; a hot topic for researchers and policymakers alike.
J-PAL North America recently launched a catalog of administrative datasets to provide researchers with clear information on data access and content, including costs and indicators. Together with J-PAL North America's guide to using administrative data for randomized evaluations, this public catalog will support researchers in carrying out high-quality evaluations.
Weather index insurance protects farmers against losses from extreme weather and facilitates investment in their farms, but randomized evaluations have shown low demand for these products at market prices suggesting the need for alternative approaches. One promising alternative is to explore technologies that structurally reduce risk for farmers, such as improved seeds that better tolerate weather events.

Report: Chase Bank website crashes after cyberattack
A reported cyberattack knocked the Chase Bank website offline Tuesday.
According to NBC News, the denial-of-service attack happened from about 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET.
Chase confirmed that the outage was due to a denial-of-service attack, in which attackers bombard websites with an overwhelming amount of traffic, overloading their servers and causing sluggish performance or a complete loss of service.
The group who claimed to have committed the attack, al-Qassam Cyber Fighters, said it was going to continue attacking banks over a YouTube video that depicts the Muslim prophet Muhammad in a negative light. The same video also was rumored to cause several uprisings in the Middle East.
Chase's apps were not affected.
Chase has 300 banking centers, 340 locations and more than 900 ATMs in Arizona.

If placed properly, acupuncture needles invoke an ancient practice that can lessen pain, treat chronic fatigue, and prove man's triumph over the motionless pincushion. Harness a time-tested healing art with today's Groupon: for $29, you get a relaxation acupuncture session, a full spine exam, and a MedX treatment designed to relieve neck or back pain at the Spinal Decompression Centre (a $170 value).
The Spinal Decompression Centre's fully licensed inveterate vertebrae virtuosos soothe cramped and weary spines. A full exam analyzes the spine for bumps, bruises, and cheetah-print tattoos to discern the causes of back discomfort, such as a possible slipped disc or an overacting Sisyphus impression. Next, a session on the computerized MedX rehabilitation system addresses neck and back pains and performs isometric testing on the client's range of motion to diminish headaches and back pain. Finally, a relaxation acupuncture session rounds out the treatment trinity to melt stress, vanquish fatigue, and calm nerves worried about melting stress.

Oh okay.. Thank you. Is it very expensive?
Married to my soul mate, Mummy to one beautiful little girl, wishing for a little boy to complete our family.
You get free storage for. 60 days , they charge you per kilo of weight for the postage and if you use their buy for me service it's 7% of the purchase price - my last Ralph Lauren order cost $400 and they charged me $60 in postage , about 15% of what you spend ( Ralph Lauren is at least double the price if not more here in Australia so even with postage its a lot cheaper , especially with the sales!)
Just remember if you spend over. $1000 on some things you have to pay duty on it - I got caught out a few years ago when I had a Jimmy Choo handbag sent over and had to pay $400 to get it out of customs !
Black Friday sales in the US this week. Must go shopping!!!!

This font software may not be reproduced, modified, disclosed or transferred without the express written approval of Linotype GmbH. Avenir is a trademark of Linotype GmbH registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and may be registered in certain other jurisdictions. This typeface is original artwork of Adrian Frutiger, Akira Kobayashi. The design may be protected in certain jurisdictions.Description
Adrian Frutiger designed Avenir in 1988, after years of having an interest in sans serif typefaces. In an interview with Linotype, he said he felt an obligation to design a linear sans in the tradition of Erbar and Futura, but to also make use of the experience and stylistic developments of the twentieth century. The word Avenir means 'future' in French and hints that the typeface owes some of its interpretation to Futura. But unlike Futura, Avenir is not purely geometric; it has vertical strokes that are thicker than the horizontals, an o that is not a perfect circle, and shortened ascenders. These nuances aid in legibility and give Avenir a harmonious and sensible appearance for both texts and headlines. In 2004 Adrian Frutiger and the type director of Linotype GmbH Akira Kobayashi reworked the Avenir and created the Avenir Next for the Platinum Collection. It includes new small caps, newly designed true italics, and a complete new range of condensed weights. Avenir Next is a versatile sans serif family, ready for large and complex projects from books to signage to advertising.License

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. — Austin Connelly was the higher seed in Wednesday's Round-of-64 match at the 2015 U.S. Amateur, but lost to Maverick McNealy 1 up at Olympia Fields Country Club's North Course.
Austin Connelly lost to Maverick McNealy during the round of 64 at the U. S. Men's Amateur at Olympia Fields in Olympia Fields, Ill.It was a good match and was expected to go down to the wire, but it was McNealy's day. McNealy started it by making par on his second ball at the par-5 first, turning a likely 1-down outcome into all square and making a statement early.
For Connelly, it may be the end of his amateur career. In November he signed a letter of intent to attend the University of Arkansas, but instead the 18-year-old is going to Web.com Q-School with the hopes of playing professionally next year.
The only thing that would keep Connelly an Amateur would be a Walker Cup invitation.
But that would be tricky from many different perspectives.
After winning the Jones Cup earlier this year, Connelly looked into if he was even eligible for the Walker Cup and found he was according to the International Golf Federation.
Connelly, a duel citizen, was born in Irving, Texas, and while his mother is American, his father is Canadian and Connelly has received support from the Canadian golf authorities during his career, and even during the U.S. Amateur wore Canadian logos in support of the country north of the border.
"Technically, I'm eligible," Connelly said of his Walker Cup possibilities. "Even though the USGA was never clear with me once I kind of of got in the Walker Cup contention."
In 2014, Connelly did play for the USA on the Junior Ryder Cup in Scotland, but if asked to play on the Walker Cup, Connelly is noncommittal.
Maybe partly because five of the 10-man team has already been selected and with a solid group to pick from still in the mix this week, and with two mid-Am's to be selected as well, Connelly's chances are slim at best.
"I'm playing for Canada right now," Connelly said. "It depends, I would have to talk to some people, I would obviously love to play."
The U.S. Amateur, the oldest USGA
championship, was first played in 1895 at
Newport Golf Club in Rhode Island. The
which has no age restriction, is open to
with a Handicap Index of 2.4 or lower. It is
of 13 national championships conducted
annually by the USGA, 10 of which are
for amateurs. It is the pre-eminent
competition in the world.
Applications are typically placed online, starting
third week in April at www.usga.org.View Complete Tournament Information

The more Appnovation can integrate using MuleSoft, the more data that gets connected and the more complete the picture becomes, enabling retail and consumer goods companies to drive more targeted engagement and more sales.
Connecting the On-Premise With the Off
The customer experience for retail and consumer goods companies is more critical today than it ever has been in the past. Utilizing MuleSoft, our certified experts can architect a solution that can connect your in-store, on premise experience with the one found on web and/or mobile platforms. Through systems integration, Appnovation can make it possible for companies to unify their brands and provide a consistent customer experience no matter how the enterprise is engaged.

Optimize Online & In-Store
Appnovation's Hadoop developers, architects and scientists can assist enterprise-level retail and consumer goods companies with optimizing both their online and in-store presences. Large retailers and consumer goods companies drive tremendous amounts of traffic to their respective sites and stores, and thus huge volumes of data are created like clicks, purchases/abandon carts, time on page, entry/exit, pages visited in the case of online, and store visits, foot traffic patterns, checkout volumes, entries/exits, time department, in the case of in-store. Utilizing Hadoop to log and store the data, Appnovation can help companies leverage this intelligence to improve online and in-store experiences, leading to increased conversion and in-store sales which translates to increased revenue and improved customer loyalty.
Social Brand Measurement
Enterprise-level retailers and consumer goods companies can now get a better idea of how their brand is doing through social media. Appnovation's Hadoop experts can help enterprises in this sector better analyze things like news articles, blog postings, advertising campaigns, products launches, sales promotions, and even competitor actions via brand related opinions expressed on social media streams of such platforms as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and more. Appnovation, through Hadoop, can give these entities a better understanding of how their brand, or brands, are perceived by customers, even in real-time, so the company can then take measures to align future actions, such as promotions, communications and product placements to address them.
360 Degree View Builds of the Customer
Utilizing Hadoop, Appnovation can help retail and CPG companies capture, correlate and analyze the multiple and various streams of data that represent customer interactions. From in store purchases to social mentions via mobile device, Appnovation's Hadoop experts can take all the information and construct a 360 degree view of a customer's behavior. Through the efforts of Appnovation's Hadoop developers and data scientists, retail and CPG sector clients can realize longer and more robust data storage of customer information, customer lifecycle phases and better, more accurate customer analytics. All of which can translate into more sales, customer retainment and reduced inventory costs.
Personalized Shopping Experiences
Appnovation can use MongoDB to help retailers and consumer goods companies create the ultimate shopping experience. Not only online or via mobile device, but also in-store and in real-time through your in store associates. Whether online, mobile or in-store Appnovation's MongoDB consultants can build an engine for recognizing existing customers, as well as distinguishing likely new ones, to help target specific messages (ads, sales, promotions) no matter how, and when, the visitor engages.

|Meeting Description:
|Usage-based linguistics has placed strong emphasis on explaining schematic patterns as results of abstracting from repetitive and similar individual usage events. In between these layers, at the mid-levels of linguistic abstraction, speakers are assumed to have stored many mixed patterns consisting of schematic and lexical material. Material of this kind has been shown to play an important part in the organization of a speaker's knowledge of his/her own language. Its effects could be traced in studies of language representation (e.g. Stefanowitsch & Gries 2003 and later works), acquisition (e.g. Tomasello 2005; Lieven & Ambridge 2011), processing (e.g. Gries et al. 2005) and change (e.g. Hilpert 2012). The phenomena in question, which have been made measurable by various types of association measures, come to the fore in the study of usage as patterns emerging through repetition; they are reminiscent of the Sinclairian differentiation between the open-choice and idiom principles (Sinclair 1991: 109–115). The claim derived from such patterns is that usage relies on lexico-grammatical patterns much more intensely than the traditional distinction between lexicon and grammar, or words and schemata, etc., implies (e.g. Boas 2003; Hampe & Schönefeld 2006).
At the same time, contemporary Cognitive Linguistics places great emphasis on the variational aspects of language (e.g. Kristiansen & Dirven 2008; Croft 2009; Schmid 2015). Moreover, there is a growing awareness of the importance of linguistic diversity in Cognitive-Linguistic research, which has also been chosen as the special theme of the 14th International Cognitive Linguistics Conference. However, the overwhelming majority of cross-linguistic/lectal studies focus on linguistic patterns at very high levels of generalization, whereas most lexico-grammatical studies are based on one language (variety). Although there have been a few variational collostructional studies (e.g. dialectal variation by Wulff et al. 2007 and register variation by Schönefeld 2013), as well as cross-linguistic collostructional analyses (e.g. Gilquin 2015), such studies are the exception rather than the rule.
The aim of our theme session is to fill this gap and to create a forum for a discussion of variational and cross-linguistic studies that focus on different types of distributional co-occurrence phenomena (collostructions, colligations, collocations, lexical bundles, etc.) at the mid-level of abstraction.
