The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Cindy Lou Hensley McCain (born May 20, 1954) is an American businesswoman, philanthropist, and humanitarian, and the wife of long-time United States Senator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain of Arizona.
She was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, as the daughter of wealthy beer distributor Jim Hensley. After receiving bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Southern California, she became a special education teacher. She married John McCain in 1980 and the couple moved to Arizona in 1981, where her husband would be elected to the United States Congress the following year and has been in office since then. The couple had three children together, in addition to adopting another. From 1988 to 1995, she founded and operated a nonprofit organization, the American Voluntary Medical Team, which organized trips by medical personnel to disaster-stricken or war-torn third-world areas. During this time, she became addicted to painkillers for several years and resorted to having a physician write illegal prescriptions on her behalf. She reached an agreement with the government in which no charges were filed against her.
Upon her father's death in 2000, she inherited majority control and became chair of Hensley & Co., one of the largest Anheuser-Busch beer distributors in the United States. She participated in both of her husband's presidential campaigns and, in 2008, drew both positive and negative scrutiny for her appearance, demeanor, wealth, spending habits, and financial obligations. She continues to be an active philanthropist and serves on the boards of Operation Smile, Eastern Congo Initiative, CARE and HALO Trust, frequently making overseas trips in conjunction with their activities. During the 2010s she has become prominent in the fight against human trafficking.

Early life and education[edit]
Cindy Lou Hensley was born in Phoenix, Arizona,[2] to James Hensley, who founded Hensley & Co.,[3] and Marguerite "Smitty" Hensley (née Johnson).[2][4][5] She was raised as the only child of her parents' second marriages[6] and grew up on Phoenix's North Central Avenue in affluent circumstances.[7][8][9] (Dixie L. Burd, who is the daughter of Marguerite Smith through a prior relationship, is her half-sister,[10] as is Kathleen Hensley Portalski, daughter of Jim Hensley and his first wife, Mary Jeanne Parks.[10][11]) Cindy Hensley was named Junior Rodeo Queen of Arizona in 1968.[12][13] She went to Central High School[6] in Phoenix, where she was named Best Dressed as a senior and graduated in 1972.[7][14]
Hensley enrolled at the University of Southern California.[15] She joined Kappa Alpha Theta sorority as a freshman,[9][16] and had many leadership roles in the house during her four years there.[15] Hensley graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in education in 1976.[1][15] She continued on at USC, and received a Master of Arts in special education in 1978.[1][7] There she participated in a movement therapy pilot program that laid the way for a standard treatment for children with severe disabilities;[17] she published the work Movement Therapy: A Possible Approach in 1978.[18] Declining a role in the family business,[19] she worked for a year as a special education teacher dealing with children with Down syndrome and other disabilities at Agua Fria High School in Avondale, Arizona.[7][2][12][17]
Marriage and family[edit]
Hensley met John McCain in April 1979 at a military reception in Hawaii.[20] He was the U.S. Navy liaison officer to the United States Senate and almost eighteen years her senior.[21] He had been married to Carol McCain for fourteen years and they had three children (two of whom he adopted from her first marriage).[22] McCain and Hensley quickly began a relationship,[21] traveling between Arizona and Washington to see each other.[12] John McCain then pushed to end his marriage;[20] Carol and John stopped cohabiting in January 1980,[23] and Carol accepted a divorce in February 1980,[20] effective in April 1980. John and Cindy were married on May 17, 1980 at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix.[12] They signed a prenuptial agreement that kept most of her family's assets under her name;[24] they have since kept their finances apart and file separate income tax returns.[24]
Her father's business and political contacts helped John McCain to gain a foothold in Arizona politics.[20] She campaigned with her husband door to door during his successful first bid for U.S. Congress in 1982,[13] and was heavily involved in campaign strategy.[9] Her wealth from an expired trust from her parents provided significant loans to the campaign[25][26][27] and helped it survive a period of early debt.[28]
Once John McCain was elected, the couple moved to Alexandria, Virginia.[29] She spent two months in late 1983 writing handwritten notes on over 4,000 Christmas cards to be sent to constituents and others.[29] She was considered an outsider who was snubbed by the Washington congressional social scene, in part because Carol McCain was a popular figure in town,[30] and she grew homesick for Arizona.[12][29] She had several miscarriages.[12][21]
She moved back to Arizona in early 1984[12] and gave birth to the couple's daughter, Meghan, later that year.[12] She subsequently gave birth to sons John Sidney IV (known as "Jack") in 1986 and James (known as "Jimmy") in 1988.[31] Their fourth child, Bridget, was adopted in 1991. Cindy McCain's parents lived across the street and helped her raise the children; her husband was frequently in Washington and she typically only saw him on weekends.[12][21] In his absence, she organized elaborate fund-raisers for him and expanded their home.[30]
In April 1986, Cindy and her father invested $359,100 in a shopping center project with Phoenix banker Charles Keating.[12] This, combined with her role as a bookkeeper who later had difficulty finding receipts for family trips on Keating's jet,[19] caused complications for her husband during the Keating Five scandal, when he was being examined for his role regarding oversight of Keating's bank.[12]
American Voluntary Medical Team[edit]
Founding and mission[edit]
In 1988, inspired by a vacation that she took four years earlier to substandard medical facilities on Truk Lagoon,[12][32] Cindy McCain founded the American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT).[1] It was a non-profit organization that organized trips for doctors, nurses and other medical personnel to provide MASH-like emergency medical care to disaster-struck or war-torn third-world areas such as Micronesia, Vietnam (before relations were normalized between them and the U.S.[32]), Kuwait (arriving five days after the conclusion of the Gulf War[32]), Zaire (to help refuges from the Rwandan genocide[30]), Iraq, Nicaragua, India, Bangladesh, and El Salvador.[8][33][34][35][36] She led 55 of these missions over the next seven years,[17] each of which were at least two weeks in duration.[36] AVMT also supplied treatment to poor sick children around the world.[37] In 1993, Cindy McCain and the AVMT were honored with an award from Food for the Hungry.[8]
In 1991, the AVMT went to Dhaka, Bangladesh, to provide assistance following the 1991 Bangladesh cyclone.[34] While at Mother Teresa's Dhaka orphanage, the Sisters of Charity of Mother Teresa Children's Home,[38] McCain met two infant girls she felt needed to be brought to the United States for medical treatment.[21] She decided to adopt one of the girls, later named Bridget, with her husband readily agreeing;[8] the adoption became final in 1993.[39] She helped coordinate the adoption of the other little girl for family friend Wes Gullett.[8]
Prescription drug addiction[edit]
In 1989, Cindy McCain developed an addiction to Percocet and Vicodin, opioid painkillers, which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs and to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five affair.[40][41][41][42][43] The addiction progressed to where she was taking upwards of twenty pills a day,[12] and she resorted to having an AVMT physician write illegal prescriptions in the names of three AVMT employees without their knowledge.[35][40] In 1992, her parents staged an intervention to force her to get help;[19] she told her husband about her problem, attended a drug treatment facility, began outpatient sessions and ended her three years of addiction.[41] Surgery in 1993 resolved her back pain.[41][43]
In January 1993, Tom Gosinski, an AVMT employee who had discovered her illegal drug use, was terminated on budgetary grounds.[44] Subsequently, he tipped off the Drug Enforcement Administration about her prior actions and a federal investigation ensued.[40][44] McCain's defense team, led by John McCain's Keating Five lawyer John Dowd, secured an agreement with the U.S. Attorney's office for McCain, a first-time offender, which avoided charges while requiring her to pay financial restitution, enroll in a diversion program and do community service.[8][40][44] Meanwhile, in early 1994, Gosinski filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against McCain, in which he alleged she ordered him to conceal "improper acts" and "misrepresent facts in a judicial proceeding"; he told her he would settle for $250,000.[40][41] In response, Dowd characterized this request as blackmail, and requested Maricopa County attorney Rick Romley to investigate Gosinski for extortion.[40][44] In the end, Gosinski's credibility was undermined by testimony in Romley's report from other charity staffers who asserted Gosinski privately vowed to blackmail McCain were he ever fired,[41] and both Gosinski's lawsuit and the extortion investigation against him were dropped.[40]
Knowing that prosecutors were about to publicly disclose her past addiction, McCain preemptively revealed the story to reporters, saying that she was doing so willingly: "Although my conduct did not result in compromising any missions of AVMT, my actions were wrong, and I regret them ... if what I say can help just one person to face the problem, it's worthwhile."[8][40][41]
AVMT concluded its activities in 1995 in the wake of the McCain prescription narcotics controversy.[33][40] That year, McCain founded a new organization, the Hensley Family Foundation, which donates monies towards children's programs in Arizona and nationally.[8] She was largely a stay-at-home mom during the balance of the 1990s.[19] She also held positions as vice president, director, and vice chair of Hensley & Co.[27][28] In the mid-1990s, she began suffering from severe migraine headaches, for a while keeping them secret from her husband and minimizing their effect to the rest of her family.[45][46] Her attacks often resulted in trips to the emergency room,[46] were caused by many different triggers, and she tried many different treatments.[47]
Role in 2000 presidential campaign[edit]
Although wary of the media[8] and still having no love for the political world,[48] McCain was active in her husband's eventually unsuccessful campaign for President of the United States in 2000.[19] She mostly provided good cheer, without discussing her opinions about national policy. She impressed Republican voters with her elegance at coffee shops and other small campaign settings, where she frequently referred to her children, carpooling and charity work.[13]
McCain was upset by the notorious smear tactics[49][50] against her husband in the South Carolina primary that year. These included allegations involving her adopted daughter Bridget that she found "despicable",[19] as well as insinuations that McCain herself was currently a drug addict.[50][51] Though deeply wounded by the attacks for a long time,[52] Cindy McCain eventually forgave those responsible.[13] She was chosen as the chair of the Arizona delegation to the 2000 Republican National Convention.[17]
Between presidential campaigns[edit]
In 2000, she became chair of the now $300 million-a-year Hensley & Co.[53][54] following her father's death.[43] It is one of the largest Anheuser-Busch beer distributors in the United States.[55] Cindy, her children, and one of John McCain's children from his first marriage, together own 68 percent of the company.[56] As chair, her role takes the form of consultations with the company CEO on major initiatives such as new products, new plants or employee welfare, rather than that of an active physical presence.[57][58] She does not have operational control of Hensley, and Anheuser-Busch considers her to be an absentee owner.[59] By 2007, she had an annual income of over $400,000 from Hensley and an estimated net worth of $100 million.[24] She also owned at least $2.7 million worth of shares of Anheuser-Busch stock.[59][60] With her children, she owns a minority stake in the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team.[28][61]
McCain became actively involved with Operation Smile in 2001,[62] taking parts in its medical missions to Morocco, Vietnam and India.[62] She was honored by the organization in 2005[62] and sits on its board of directors.[33] McCain joined the board of directors of CARE in 2005.[33] She is on the board of the HALO Trust,[33] and has visited operations to remove landmines in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Mozambique, and Angola.[17] She makes financial contributions to these organizations via her family trust[32] and views her role as watching them in the field to ensure they are frugal and their money is being spent effectively.[58] On occasion she has criticized foreign regimes on human rights grounds, such as Myanmar's military junta.[63]
In April 2004, McCain suffered a near-fatal stroke caused by high blood pressure,[43][64] although she was still able to attend some events.[30] After several months of physical therapy to overcome leg and arm limitations, she made a mostly full recovery, although she still suffered from some short-term memory loss and difficulties in writing.[43] She owns a home in Coronado, California, next to the Hotel del Coronado;[58] her family had vacationed in Coronado growing up, and she has gone there for recuperation and family get-togethers.[58] She or her family own other residential and commercial real estate in California, Arizona and Virginia[28] and, including rental properties, McCain herself owns ten homes and part of three office complexes.[59][65][66] She is an amateur pilot and race car driver.[12]
Role in 2008 presidential campaign[edit]
She was active and visible in her husband's second presidential campaign during 2007 and 2008,[13] despite not wanting her husband to run initially due to bad memories of their 2000 experience and worries the effect on her children, especially son Jimmy who was headed to serve in the Iraq War.[52] She eventually supported her husband in his goals, but defined her own campaign roles;[52] she frequently returned to Arizona to attend to domestic duties[58] or interrupted campaigning for her overseas charitable work.[32][63] She preferred to travel with her husband and introduce him rather than act as a campaign surrogate with a separate schedule.[30][67] She wore her hair in a fashionable but severe style and was sometimes seen with an unsmiling countenance in her appearances.[48] In August 2008, a member of the public shook her hand very vigorously, aggravating her existing carpal tunnel syndrome condition and causing her to slightly sprain her wrist.[68] The campaign exacerbated her migraine headaches and she sometimes had to wear dark glasses to shield herself from bright lights.[45][47] The pressures of the campaign also brought out a range of behaviors between her and her husband, varying from moments of great tenderness and concern to raging arguments that dismayed their staffs.[69]
McCain stated that the American public wanted a First Lady of the United States who would tend toward a traditional role in that position.[70] She would not attend Cabinet meetings,[58] but would continue her involvement in overseas non-profit organizations and would urge Americans to do the same globally or locally.[58] She envisioned herself as a possible figurehead for humanitarian work, along the lines of Diana, Princess of Wales.[71] She continued to expand her roles in such organizations, joining in April 2008 the board of Grateful Nation Montana, which provides scholarships and services to the children of Montana service personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.[72]
She made statements critical of the Bush administration for not deploying enough troops during the Iraq War.[13] Her close examination of the financial books of the McCain campaign during the first part of 2007 convinced the candidate that its profligate spending could not go on and led to the drastic mid-year reduction of the campaign's staff and scope.[32][73] In February 2008, McCain made news by being critical of Michelle Obama, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who had said, "And let me tell you something: For the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country." McCain, who was genuinely offended by the remark,[74] replied: "I am proud of my country. I don't know about you—if you heard those words earlier—I am very proud of my country."[75] Also in February 2008, she publicly appeared beside her husband during a press conference in response to a newspaper report regarding his connection to a lobbyist.[76]
McCain faced media scrutiny about her wealth, spending habits, and financial obligations.[66][77][78] At first declining to release her separate income tax returns, saying it was a privacy issue and that she would not do so even if she became First Lady,[79] she later released the first two pages of her 2006 return, which showed $6 million in income for that year (including nearly $570,000 in itemized deductions and more than $1.7 million paid in federal income taxes).[80] The campaign said that any decisions about how to handle her role in Hensley & Co. if she became First Lady would not be made until that time.[56] While she stood to gain a considerable profit from the agreed-upon acquisition of Anheuser-Busch by the Belgian company InBev,[60][81] she was initially under some political pressure to help oppose the deal and keep Anheuser-Busch under American ownership.[82]
In June 2008, a Rasmussen Reports poll found that 49 percent of voters viewed Cindy McCain favorably and 29 percent unfavorably,[83] while an ABC News/Washington Post poll found figures of 39 percent and 25 percent respectively.[84] Her style and fashion sense was the subject of much media scrutiny.[85][86] McCain was compared to former first lady Nancy Reagan,[85] due to both her style and wardrobe[87][88] as well as her demeanor.[89] Early in the campaign, some recipes attributed to Cindy McCain turned out to be copied from other sources; the campaign attributed the problem to an error by an intern.[90][90][91]
Cindy McCain spoke on both the opening and final nights of the early September 2008 Republican National Convention. On the first night, truncated due to national attention regarding Hurricane Gustav, she appeared with First Lady Laura Bush to deliver short remarks encouraging support for hurricane relief efforts along the Gulf Coast,[92] and on the last night, she introduced the seven McCain children and spoke about how her husband's love for his country had been passed on to them.[93] In October 2008, she increased the intensity of her public remarks against Obama's candidacy,[94] speaking with surprising vitriol in accusing the Obama campaign of being the dirtiest in history and saying of his position against a war-funding bill, "The day that Senator Obama cast a vote not to fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body."[95] The stresses of the campaign caused the 5-foot-7-inch (1.70 m) McCain's weight to fall under 100 pounds (45 kg).[45] On November 4, 2008, she fought back tears in an appearance as the McCain campaign reached its final day and subsequent loss to Obama.[96]
Subsequent activities[edit]
After the election, Cindy McCain was approached about appearing on Dancing With the Stars. She seriously considered participating, but according to John McCain, was concerned that her surgically replaced knee would not be able to withstand the rigors of the competition.[97]
Continuing her humanitarian aid work with a January 2009 trip to Dubai, India, and Cambodia, she said that she was relieved that the campaign was over and that, while it had been "wild and nuts" at times, it had also been "a remarkable experience to be a contender for the highest office in the land."[98] She said the ongoing global economic crisis was adversely affecting humanitarian organizations, and she expressed hope that President Obama would be successful in dealing with it.[98]
She expressed support for LGBT rights by appearing alongside her daughter Meghan at an April 2009 convention of the Log Cabin Republicans,[99] and posing for the NOH8 Campaign, a gay rights project opposed to California Proposition 8, a ballot measure banning same-sex marriage.[100] The following year she appeared in another NOH8 public service announcement against bullying, and in it appeared to break with her husband's position and express support for repeal of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy prohibiting gays from serving openly in the U.S. military.[101] But she subsequently tweeted that "I fully support the NOH8 campaign and all it stands for and am proud to be a part of it. But I stand by my husband's stance on DADT."[102]
In September 2009, she spoke about her migraines publicly for the first time and decided to speak at the International Headache Congress about raising awareness for sufferers.[45][47] During her husband's eventually successful 2010 senatorial re-election campaign, she rarely made public appearances.[103]
McCain appeared in March 2011 alongside Eastern Congo Initiative founder Ben Affleck to testify before a panel of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on behalf of continued monetary assistance to the Democratic Republic of Congo, in an environment where the Republican-controlled House was looking to make significant cuts to foreign aid.[104] She has noted the difficulty of getting attention to some of the topics she feels most strongly about;[105] at a Futures Without Violence summit in 2012, she said, "When I talk about rape in Congo, people turn their backs and run, especially the men."[106]
In late 2013 and early 2014, McCain used the occasion of Super Bowl XLVIII to highlight her concerns about sex trafficking in the United States, an issue that she had begun working on in conjunction with The McCain Institute.[107][108] She campaigned for legislation to address the problem at both the federal and state levels.[108] She also served as co-chair of the Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's Task Force on Human Trafficking.[107]
In April 2015, during the Sedona Forum, Cindy McCain and actress Demi Moore discussed ways to end sex trafficking.[109] Later in that year she staged appearances with Heidi Heitkamp, Democratic Senator from North Dakota, to discuss human trafficking in that state and elsewhere.[105] She said of trafficking, "Everybody has seen it; they just didn't know what they were looking at."[105] She praised Obama and Congress for passage of the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 and, together with Malika Saada Saar, executive director of the Human Rights Project for Girls, started the No Such Thing Campaign to end the use of the term "child prostitute", saying "there are only victims and survivors of child rape."[110]
Following a change in administration in Washington, in May 2017 it was reported that Cindy McCain was under consideration for a prominent role at the U.S. Department of State, possibly focusing on issues related to human trafficking.[111]

(AMERICAN FALLS) – Four people were rescued on American Falls Reservoir after their boat capsized Sunday. The Power County Sheriff's office says the four boaters were trying to bale out water at the time of the 911 call. High winds made the water choppy as well. Authorities say all four were pulled aboard another boat in the Seagull Bay area, and each person involved was wearing a life jacket. An adult passenger sustained a minor leg injury and was treated on scene. An investigation is ongoing.

Moody's Changes Its Outlook on Turkey's Ratings to Positive From Stable
Moody's Investors Service raised the outlook on Turkey's Ba2 local and foreign currency bond ratings to positive from stable citing improvements in the economy and debt management.
"Turkey's economy has proven to be unexpectedly robust and has recovered to pre-crisis levels," said New York-based Moody's analyst Sarah Carlson in an e-mailed report today. The country's deficit and debt levels have improved beyond targets in the government's medium-term economic program, she said.
Turkey says credit default swaps and other indicators show that the country's debt rating should be raised by S&P, Moody's and Fitch Ratings Ltd. Moody's upgraded Turkey to Ba2 in January, two levels below investment grade and S&P increased its ranking in February to BB. Fitch raised its rating to BB+ in December, or one step below investment grade.
The benchmark ISE National 100 index in Istanbul climbed as much as 1.1 percent to 66,117.29 after Moody's made the statement, nearing a record high. It rose 0.5 percent at 10:12 a.m. Two-year lira bonds gained, with yields falling 4 basis points to 7.99 percent. The lira reversed earlier losses, rising 0.1 percent to 1.4531 per dollar.
"We expect Moody's and S&P to upgrade Turkey post-elections so in a year-long window we expect them to catch up," said Turker Hamzaoglu, a London-based economist at Bank of America Corp.-Merrill Lynch & Co., said in a telephone interview. "For Turkey to become investment grade there are three main issues: inflation, whether the current account is under control, and how the government handles fiscal policy without a fiscal rule or the IMF."
Moody's revised its forecasts for economic growth in Turkey this year to 6.5 percent and to 5 percent in 2011, Carlson said. Parliamentary elections are due in Turkey by July 22 next year.
The economy grew an annual 10.3 percent in the second quarter, which matched China's as the fastest expansion in the period among the Group of 20 major economies, the state statistics agency in Ankara said on Sept. 14.

Lyon Opera's Dorny wants to stand out from crowd
By Michael Roddy
LYON, France (Reuters Life!) - It's not often that an opera house has to scramble around last minute to find a new director for the biggest production of the year, but Opera de Lyon's general director Serge Dorny did, and came up trumps.
Less than a year ago -- which is microseconds in opera time -- Dorny said he was told by German-born director Jossi Wieler he would be unable to do a new production of Richard Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde," which had its premiere last Saturday, because he was taking over the Stuttgart opera.
"I was upset," the 49-year-old, Belgium-born Dorny told Reuters during an interview in his office at the opera house, which is a blend of a modern building with walls from a 19th century structure and overlooks Lyon's city hall.
"Why was I upset? Because it was 'Tristan' and finding a new director for 'Tristan' is not like finding a new director for (Mozart's) 'Cosi fan Tutte'. It is a very complicated opera and as intendant (general director) you do it once in a mandate...it takes time to get into it and it is something that is part of your legacy, something you will leave behind."
As it turned out, the production that Dorny has provided, by dint of convincing Alex Olle of the Catalan stagecraft collective La Fura dels Baus to jump into the breech, is every bit the winner he will be proud to leave behind.
The French newspaper Le Monde said it was a "Tristan" that "reached almost to the heavens" while Le Temps said that Danish soprano Ann Petersen, singing the fiendishly challenging role of Isolde for the first time, was "a revelation."
They are the kind of rave reviews and it was the kind of production that should help Dorny in his goal of assuring Opera de Lyon is implanted on the world opera map so there is as much interest in its season as there is in London's Covent Garden, New York's Metropolitan Opera or that bigger, better-funded operation just up the road in a city called Paris.
Here's what else he had to say about the opera's links to Lyon and the underprivileged parts of the city, its budget and the scene outside the opera doors, where hip-hop dancers from the 'hood meet the opening night audience dressed for the opera: Continued...

Criminal Law Paralegal
Job Description for a Criminal Law Paralegal
The daily news is saturated with stories about criminal acts that fall under the legal umbrella of Criminal Law. Television programs dramatize the "I want to talk to my attorney!" phase of a police interrogation. But, what happens after that call? A suspect who is charged with an alleged criminal act has the right to an attorney…and is innocent until proven guilty. Let's learn a bit more about this area of law.
Criminal Law – A Definition
Criminal Law is a body of rules and statutes that defines conduct the government prohibits because it threatens and harms public safety. These rules and statutes establish the punishments that fit the commission of these criminal acts, as well as the procedure of how suspects are investigated, charged and tried.
Criminal Law Practice Areas and Criminal Charges
The list of criminal acts and charges is extensive. Following is a partial list of criminal charges that an attorney may be retained to defend:
- Rape
- Child Abuse
- Criminal Sex Abuse/Sexual Misconduct/Lewd Acts
- Molestation
- Domestic Violence
- Assault and Battery
- Robbery/Burglary/Theft/Vandalism
- Drug Possession
- Computer Crime/Identity Theft
- Murder/Manslaughter
- Kidnapping
- Probation Violation
- Racketeering
- Stalking
- Embezzlement
- Fraud
- Harassment
Role of a Criminal Law Paralegal
The specific duties of a paralegal depend on the focus of the law firm. A Criminal Law paralegal may perform the following tasks, under the supervision of an attorney:
- Interview witnesses and relevant personnel
- Perform legal research
- Prepare legal documents (complaints, motions, orders, answers, pleadings, subpoenas)
- Obtain information from law enforcements agencies, or other sources
- Submit legal documents to court or agency
- Organize and maintain case file
- Maintain case calendar (filing, hearing and trial dates, scheduling conferences, interviews)
- Organize key evidence for trial
- Assist in trial preparation (compile trial notebooks, jury instructions, witness/exhibit lists)
- Communicate with opposing counsel regarding discovery, motions and interview dates
Paralegal Outlook
Good news! Employment of paralegals and legal assistants is expected to grow by 18 percent from 2010 to 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Law firms will continue to be the major hirer of paralegals. Does this area of law appeal to you?
Paralegal Training
The job outlook is good, but can you complete in the job market? What you need to be highly competitive:

AIPS will…

Alrighty, after a couple of requests I'm going to bring in a fixed number system for the Daily Pick Lottery. Some of us have a specific number that we would like each and every day but unfortunately aren't always online early enough to request it before it's chosen by somebody else, so as of now I'm taking requests for fixed daily numbers which will need to be pre-paid. This is only for people who play daily and always use the same number, so please don't apply for it if you don't fall into that category. Simply state which number you want and for how many draws you wish to participate and post a link to your withdrawal from the Coin Exchange to assure your number is kept for you. As each draw takes place, the amount you paid will drop by 40 coins per day as it pays for that ticket.
Please refer to this post to see how I would like you to post.

The shoots are full of fun and with her friendly nature she makes her clients feel very at ease so she can move around spontaneously and capture the best looks in her own none-staged style. Estienne loves to create something different and unusual that will catch the eye ... she is an artist in all she does. "No one I know can lift a everyday moment like Estienne ....each shoot is full of heart and pure art." Debby Barnes (client)

Three Belfast bars saved from closure
Three of Belfast's most popular music bars have been rescued from administration.
The Limelight, Katy Daly's and Spring and Airbrake are to be purchased by Belfast events company Shine Productions and Dublin-based concert promoter MCD.
CDC Leisure and associated company Tarwood, which owned the three venues, as well as Auntie Annies bar and club on the Dublin, was placed into administration in June 2010.
Since then, administrator John Hansen of KPMG has kept the businesses trading, with the aim of selling each as a going concern. It is thought this latest deal is worth a fraction of the reported £13m paid for all four bars in 2007.
Founder and co-director of Shine Productions Alan Simms was tight-lipped about the agreed sum, but the three bars had been on the market with an advertised guide price of £1.95m.
Mr Simms confirmed the sale was going ahead and that it is due to complete today.
He said the business partnership plans to continue the live music tradition associated with the bars.
Mr Simms said: "For nearly three decades they've been a centre for live music and that's part of what attracted us to them.
"So it will be business as usual, we're not interested in reinventing the wheel. If anything, we hope to improve the infrastructure, improve the experience for performers and customers and maybe increase the frequency of live shows."
Auntie Annies is still for sale but it is hoped it will also be snapped up by a buyer soon. In his administrator's report, John Hansen had said a number of offers for the bars had been received.
The most recent price tag on the Dublin Road venue gives an advertised guide price of £650,000.
The Limelight has been a key part of Belfast's music scene for decades, playing host to world famous bands as well as small local acts and weekly club nights.
Katy Daly's has long been established as a well loved music bar, usually playing host to more low key bands or open mic nights.
The Spring and Airbrake opened in 2004, providing an additional live music venue alongside Katy's and the Limelight.
