Nortel patent portfolio sale also goes through; Google still stuck waiting on Asian approval
Despite being under antitrust scrutiny in the U.S. and Europe, regulators saw no reason to block Google Inc.'s (
) purchase of phonemaker Motorola Mobility (often referred to as simply "Motorola", but not to be confused with Motorola Solutions, Inc. (
) an equipment company). They gave the deal their approval on Monday, according to press releases by
the EU Competition Commission
press release
] and the
U.S. Department of Justice
press release
]. The approval ended
weeks of uncertainty
surrounding Google and Motorola's fate.
The deal now only awaits approval in China, Taiwan, and Israel before Google can officially be called the proud new owner of Motorola.
I. EU, U.S. Jointly Approve Motorola Mobility Acquisition
Google announced the
surprise acquisition bid in Aug. 2011
, offering up $12.5B USD.
As a phonemaker, Motorola has had some decent successes with its Android smartphones -- such as
the Droid RAZR
-- but has seen its mobile market share evaporate. It went from vying with Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) and Nokia Oyj. (
) in global sales, to falling to the bottom of the top 10 global phonemakers. In 2011, Motorola was in a virtual tie for seventh place in global sales with the likes of HTC Corp. (
Huawei Technologies
, ZTE Corp. (
), and Research in Motion, Ltd. (
) all of whom have between 3 and 5 percent global market share [

It might have been Motorola's
incredible shrinking sales
that swayed EU and U.S. regulators that the deal would not harm competition. The EU concluded that it would be counterproductive for Google to try to make Motorola the favored or exclusive Android phonemaker, given its small market share.
They write, "Google's core business model is to push its online and mobile services and software to the widest possible audience, it is unlikely that Google would restrict the use of Android solely to Motorola, a minor player in the European Economic Area (EEA)."
Still, the EU's press release regulators say they will be keeping an eye on Google for possible anticompetitive behavior. Remarks EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia, "The commission will continue to keep a close eye on the behaviour of all market players in the sector, particularly the increasingly strategic use of patents."
Motorola owns 17,000 patents. This large portfolio was a key driver of the acquisition. Google has already stated that it will use the portfolio
to provide a collective defense
of the Android platform against Apple, Inc. (
) and others.
Google vice-president Don Harris alludes to this writing, "As we outlined in August, the combination of Google and Motorola Mobility will help supercharge Android. It will also enhance competition and offer consumers faster innovation, greater choice and wonderful user experiences."
II. Concern About Abuse of Standards Patents Remains
Still, there is substantial concern that Google and/or Apple could abuse the patent system, refusing to license standards patents, which come with mandatory
fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory
(FRAND) license terms.
Both EU and U.S. regulators expressed concerns about Apple or Google abusing standards patents. [Image Source: Visual Images]
The U.S. DOJ expresses concern about this, offering a stiff warning to Google:
During the course of the division's investigation, several of the principal competitors, including Google, Apple and Microsoft, made commitments concerning their SEP [standard essential patent] licensing policies. The division's concerns about the potential anticompetitive use of SEPs was lessened by the clear commitments by Apple and Microsoft to license SEPs on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, as well as their commitments not to seek injunctions in disputes involving SEPs.
Google's commitments were more ambiguous and do not provide the same direct confirmation of its SEP licensing policies.
More explicitly, it writes:
In particular, Google has stated to the IEEE and others on Feb. 8, 2012, that its policy is to refrain from seeking injunctive relief for the infringement of SEPs against a counter-party, but apparently only for disputes involving future license revenues, and only if the counterparty: forgoes certain defenses such as challenging the validity of the patent; pays the full disputed amount into escrow; and agrees to a reciprocal process regarding injunctions.
The DOJ isn't necessarily picking a side or saying Google's approach is wrong. Nowhere in its review does it claim it to be improper to -- under certain special circumstances -- seek an injunction (a ban on sales of a product) using FRAND patents (as Samsung and Motorola have tried to do against Apple). It does, however, suggest that such applications open the door to anti-competitive abuse. It offers a warning to Google about abuses, writing:
In light of the importance of this industry to consumers and the complex issues raised by the intersection of the intellectual property rights and antitrust law at issue here, as well as uncertainty as to the exercise of the acquired rights, the division continues to monitor the use of SEPs in the wireless device industry, particularly in the smartphone and computer tablet markets.
The division will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action to stop any anticompetitive use of SEP rights.
Thus far Motorola Mobility appears to be much more compliant with regards to standards patents
than Samsung
, despite being in legal wars with Apple [
] and Microsoft Corp. (
) [
]. While Motorola is seeking to licenses its 3G patents to both companies, there is active
debate over whether its terms are sufficiently "fair"
in terms of asking price. Apple also claims that several of Motorola's key patents are invalid, potentially precluding the debate altogether.
III. Rockstar Bidco deal also receives thumbs up
In related news the U.S. Department of Justice approved the sale of bankrupt Nortel Networks' 6,000 patent portfolio to "Rockstar Bidco",
a coalition of Apple, Microsoft, RIM, and others
. The portfolio contains key communication and standards patents. Google
tried to buy this portfolio
, as well, but was outbid. The winning bid was $4.5B USD, slightly more than Google's maximum bid of $3.141592B USD.
Microsoft and Apple could use the new acquisitions in their legal war against Google or, alternatively, as a defense against Google and its partners' counterattacks.
The DOJ says it is less concerned with licensing pressure from RIM and Microsoft, because of their "low market shares" (ouch!). It also cites the many license agreements [
] between Microsoft and Android phonemakers:
The division concluded that each of the transactions was unlikely to substantially lessen competition for wireless devices. With respect to RIM's and Microsoft's acquisition of Nortel patents, their low market shares in mobile platforms would likely make a strategy to harm rivals either through injunctions or supracompetitive royalties based on the acquired Nortel SEPs unprofitable. Because of their low market shares, they are unlikely to attract a sufficient number of new customers to their mobile platforms to compensate for the lost patent royalty revenues. Moreover, Microsoft has cross-license agreements in place with the majority of its Android-based OEM competitors, making such a strategy even less plausible for it.
It offers the larger Apple a warning similar to the one it gave Google, though, writing:
Apple's and Google's substantial share of mobile platforms makes it more likely that as the owners of additional SEPs they could hold up rivals, thus harming competition and innovation.
For example, Apple would likely benefit significantly through increased sales of its devices if it could exclude Android-based phones from the market or raise the costs of such phones through IP-licenses or patent litigation.
Google could similarly benefit by raising the costs of, or excluding, Apple devices because of the revenues it derives from Android-based devices.
For these reasons the division continues to have concerns about the potential inappropriate use of SEPs to disrupt competition and will continue to monitor the use of SEPs in the wireless device industry, particularly as they relate to smartphones and computer tablets. The division's continued monitoring of how competitors are exercising their patent rights will ensure that competition and innovation are unfettered in this important industry.
The Nortel coalition does include one Android phonemaker -- Sony Corp. (
). Sony has thus far
escaped any lawsuits or licensing demands
from Apple or Microsoft -- potentially because of low sales, but also likely due to its strong patent position.
The corporate patent atmosphere is becoming increasingly incendiary, and the DOJ and its international peers are left playing Fort Knox inspectors with the corporate world's -- particularly the tech industry's -- growing patent arsenals.

Over 25% percent of the patents in U.S. history were granted over the last 12 years. (U.S. Patent 5,946,647 granted in Aug. '99; patent 8,000,000 granted in Sept. '11). That means one of two things is true -- either the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
is allowing
increasingly abusive and fraudulent designs
to pass, in an effort to boost its revenue intake; or the U.S. population is somehow wildly more intelligent and inventive today than people in the 1990s, 1980s, 1970s, and prior decades.

TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts will retire
OMAHA, Neb. – TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts said Friday that he is retiring from the online brokerage's board next month to focus on other business ventures, but the family will continue to hold two board seats.
The 70-year-old Ricketts has invested in several startup companies, such as the American Film Company and a bison meat distributor called Golden Bison. His family also bought the Chicago Cubs in 2009.
Ricketts also oversees the Opportunity Education charitable foundation and the Ending Spending political advocacy group.
The Ricketts family owns about 15% of TD Ameritrade Holding's stock (AMTD) and chooses two board members. Ricketts' younger son, Todd, will take Joe Ricketts' seat on the board alongside his brother, Pete.
Toronto Dominion Bank is Ameritrade's biggest shareholder, with 45% of the stock.
Ricketts said the company's current management team is "growing TD Ameritrade into a company that now has hundreds of billions of dollars in client assets and leads our competitors with hundreds of thousands of trades per day."
Ricketts helped found First Omaha Securities in 1975. That retail brokerage was one of the first to handle stock trades without providing investment advice. It later became Ameritrade.
Ricketts served as chief executive from 1981 through March 1999. He was co-CEO from March 1999 to May 2000. And he again served as CEO from August 2000 through February 2001, during a transition period.
Current CEO Fred Tomczyk said Ricketts led the company to embrace new technology and tools that help investors direct their own portfolios.
"For more than three decades he has been a champion for the retail investor, introducing new education, tools, information and technology that have helped millions of Americans take control of their financial futures," Tomczyk said.

The problem of other minds and how individuals interpret or evaluate the thoughts and feelings of other minds is the topic of this Rebecca Saxe speech. The extremely accomplished graduate student from MIT explores the part of the brain that is able to, based on just one photograph, draw conclusions about what that the subject or how he or she is feeling.
The RTPJ -- the Right Temporo-Parietal Junction -- is the region of brain used to determine what someone else is feeling or thinking. After discussing the ways in which this part of the brain develops throughout one's childhood and adulthood, she explains how different people can interpret a set of feelings, words or actions differently. Her speech demonstrates how the human mind is able to evaluate the data it collects -- from someone's actions or spoken words -- to infer what exactly is going on in another person's mind.

The case for quantum key distribution
Stebila, Douglas, Mosca, Michele, & Lutkenhaus, Norbert (2009) The case for quantum key distribution. In Sergienko , A, Villoresi , P, & Pascazio , S (Eds.)

Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises secure key agreement by using quantum mechanical systems. We argue that QKD will be an important part of future cryptographic infrastructures. It can provide long-term confidentiality for encrypted information without reliance on computational assumptions. Although QKD still requires authentication to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, it can make use of either information-theoretically secure symmetric key authentication or computationally secure public key authentication: even when using public key authentication, we argue that QKD still offers stronger security than classical key agreement.

WASHINGTON -- When you elect a president, you're not just electing a person. In essence, you're allowing that person to nominate those in important government positions.
Enter Chai Feldblum, the president's pick to be a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC focuses on discrimination in the workplace, including potential discrimination against sexual minorities.
Supporters say Feldblum is one of the most respected lawyers around.
"She is full of integrity. She has a fantastic sense of humor and she is one of the brightest people I've ever worked with and that I've known," said The Center for American Progress' Winnie Stachelberg.
Opponents: Feldblum a Left-Wing Radical
Feldblum's opponents paint a different picture. They say she's as radical as you get. They point to comments she made at a University of California at Los Angeles conference.
"Gay sex is morally good," she said in comments posted on the Internet Web site YouTube. "Now you may think that might be a little crazy to go out there and say gay sex is good, but think a second. Society definitely believes that heterosexual sex is good."
Feldblum is well-known in gay circles. She has worked the Human Rights Campaign, a gay activist group and was a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun who wrote the court's opinion on Roe v. Wade. She's the principal author and negotiator for the Americans with Disabilities Act and she's negotiated and drafted provisions for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
Her work on adding language to protect those of a different sexual orientation into ENDA is significant considering that Feldblum could be a member of the EEOC -- which will be the agency responsible for issuing the regulations that will enforce ENDA if and when it becomes law.
"She comes at this as a sort of lesbian Katie Couric. Perky, disarming, so she continues to push the envelope," Andrea Lafferty, with the Conservative Traditional Values Coalition, explained. Lafferty has been tracking Feldblum's career for years.
Sexual vs. Religious Liberty
What is sure to come up at her confirmation hearing will be a Feldblum quote from 2006 on sexual versus religious liberty.
"Sexual liberty should win in most cases," Feldblum once wrote. "There can be a conflict between religious liberty and sexual liberty, but in almost all cases the sexual liberty should win because that's the only way that the dignity of gay people can be affirmed in any realistic manner. I'm having a hard time coming up with any case in which religious liberty should win."
"Her number one goal is for sexual orientation to trump religious liberties in all aspects of American life," Lafferty told CBN News.
Feldblum has also shown a sympathetic side. She has written compassionately about religious believers who are troubled by the social gains made by gays and other sexual minorities.
She once wrote, "Failure to acknowledge such a burden on religious beliefs seems, to me, to be deeply disrespectful of religious people. And sometimes, complying with a law designed to establish non-discrimination for one group of people may force a religious person to act in a way contrary to those beliefs. When that happens, the religious person's practice of religion is necessarily burdened."
But Feldblum did go on to say that, "in most cases, not allowing an exemption to individual religious people will be necessary to achieving this compelling goal of non-discrimination."
Willing to Discuss Issues
While Feldblum is a noted gay activist, she has been willing to talk with those who don't agree with her.
She appeared at a recent event held by the Conservative Family Research Council. She told the audience, "We have similar liberty interests going on here and that gay people should understand religious people and religious people should understand gay people more than they do now."
Supporters say it's this type of critical thinking that makes her an asset for the EEOC.
"She doesn't approach a problem with one solution or with a set of information or answers from one perspective, but I think she looks at things from a holistic perspective," Stachelberg said.
"She was able to bring Sen. Hatch, Sen. Kennedy and President Clinton, the religious community, and the business community together on crafting a piece of legislation that protected people's religious freedom and their workplace freedom. And so I think she will be able to answer those questions when the time comes," he noted.
Marriage 'Not the Best'
Feldblum may also need to provide answers on the issue of marriage.
In a paper entitled "Gay is Good," she is quoted as saying:
"I, for one, am not sure whether marriage is a normatively good institution. I have moved away from the belief that marriage is clearly the best normative way to structure intimate relationships, such that government should be actively supporting this social arrangement above all others."
She also signed a 2006 marriage manifesto that states: "to have our government define as 'legitimate families' only those households with couples in conjugal relationships does a tremendous disservice to the many other ways in which people actually construct their families. For example, who among us seriously will argue that the following kinds of households are less socially, economically, and spiritually worthy?"
"Committed, loving households in which there is more than one conjugal partner," she continued. "Queer couples who decide to jointly create and raise a child with another queer person or couple, in two households."
Critics say the words in that document show that Feldblum believes in pushing the sexual liberals' agenda far beyond just gay marriage, even beyond polygamy.
"That doesn't mean just polygamy. That means multiple people living together engaged in sexual, you know, two men and a woman, three women. It's kind of anything goes," Lafferty said.
Feldblum's supporters say that's just not so.
"She's rejected any notion that she has supported polygamy. She's for monogamous marriage," Stachelberg said.
Will Her Nomination Be Blocked?
It's unclear whether any senators will try and block her nomination. It's too early to tell, but Feldblum will be ready to defend herself.
"There will probably be some senators who are more interested in scoring political potshots and scoring points back at home with a constituency that I think is marginalized, and they will probably attack her in some of the ways we can anticipate," Stachelberg explained.
The White House isn't commenting on Feldblum, but conservative groups say they're armed with ammunition and are ready for a culture war battle.
Feldblum has acknowledged a war for equal rights.
At a past UCLA conference she said, "So here's my bottom line: there is a war that needs to be fought and it's not a war overseas where we're killing people in the name of liberating them. It is a war right here at home where we need to convince people that morality demands full equality for gay people."*Originally published October 23, 2009.

One person was killed and several were injured Sunday outside the Iranian Embassy in the Lebanese capital as protesters prepared to launch a demonstration over Hezbollah's military intervention in neighboring Syria.
A Daily Star journalist on the scene saw men in black shirts with yellow ribbons around their arms shoving protesters away from the site as they exited buses some 200 meters from the embassy complex.
The protesters had barely time to raise their banners before they were beaten up, and several were injured with sticks, he said.
Several of the men in black shirts then opened fire in the air to disperse the demonstrators. They fired over two dozen shots.
The Lebanese Option Gathering had planned to demonstrate outside the embassy against Hezbollah's military role in Syria.
In a statement, the Lebanese Army said a citizen was killed as a result of a fight outside the embassy.
"Upon the arrival of a convoy belonging to a political side in Bir Hassan for a protest outside the Iranian Embassy over the ongoing events in Syria, a fight broke out between members of the convoy and some citizens during which one of the individuals opened fire using a pistol that led to the serious wounding of a citizen who later died," the military said.
The founder of the Lebanese Option Gathering, Ahmad al-Asaad, identified the fatality as Hashem Salman, who headed the party's student committee.
The incident at the Iranian Embassy coincided with a sit-in at the Central Beirut District which was also held to protest Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian conflict.
Several hundred protesters gathered in Martyrs' Square despite a heavy security presence to protest against Hezbollah fighters battling with President Bashar Assad's forces against the rebels.
Demonstrators carried the Lebanese national flag and the flag of the National Liberal Party as well as the flag of the Syrian opposition. Individual protesters could also be seen waving the Islamist and Turkish flags.
Although none of the major parties mobilized their bases, many of the protestors said they had come with political groups, albeit as local or youth chapters.
"Hezbollah wants to drag us into a war that doesn't concern us," said Ali Ahmed, 19, a Future Movement supporter from al-Tarik al-Jadideh.
"I came to tell [Sayyid Hasan] Nasrallah...your battle is not in Syria, it's not in Qusair, it's not in Dariyah, your battle is in Palestine and South Lebanon, so don't bring a sectarian war to Syria," said Saad, a young Syrian from Aleppo who came with his family but declined to give his last name.
Rabieh Dandeshli, an official with Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya said he came to offer his personal support although the party was not officially participating in the demonstration.
"There is a silent majority in Lebanon who are against any Lebanese party interfering in Lebanon," he said, adding that Lebanese mobilization should be limited to assisting Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
Both sides in the Syrian crisis have accused the other of relying on foreign intervention, with Qatar and other Gulf and Western states supporting the rebels, and Iran and Russia supporting Assad.
Hezbollah recently confirmed its own involvement in Syria's two-year conflict, with Syrian government forces supported by Hezbollah fighters retaking the border town of Qusair on Wednesday after a three-week offensive against rebels there.

Project DescriptionThe Mausoleum, located in rural Ancaster, Hamilton, is Phase 1 of the development of a cluster of 3 buildings that will house 3,800 crypts. The concept of the building addresses the issues related to the mourning ceremony, the spiritual character of space, and the relationship to the site.
The plan of the Mausoleum is symmetrical with major elements located along the north axis. The curved organic shape of the building evokes a feeling of the environment as well as the patron of Mausoleum St. Mary. The woman's soft curved body is reflected in the building shapes. The front is highlighted by a cantilevered concrete canopy raised on both ends in a welcoming gesture. Moving from the cantilevered entry canopy, the mourner passes through the Interior Gate along the south main Passage towards the Chapel of Light, a major opening towards the cemetery space. The walls and ceiling of the Passage area curved out, creating a visual invitation toward the exterior Garden, bringing the feeling of hope in mourning ceremonies.
The dramatic break of the building along the central axis horizontally and vertically along curved skylight refers to the journey from death on earth to hope of life in God's Kingdom. The flood of light at the Chapel and Garden becomes part of the new life.
The culmination of daylight in the Chapel is controlled by a wood structure acting as a support for skylight and of louvered system. The continuous skylight system along the central axis and along the side corridors provides soft diffused daylight appropriate for the sacred nature of the building.
The structure of the building is entirely cast in place concrete with some areas of exposed concrete; front porch, exterior and interior round columns and the canopy along the south walls. Exterior cladding includes Arristcraft stone, Indiana limestone, and interior materials·are mainly marble and limestone.
The building is designed to be energy efficient and embody the principles of sustainability.

Are You Into Men With Mutton Chops?
So, last night I had a date with a guy who showed up with mutton chops. Three weeks ago he did not have them. And now he does.* Sigh.
The man who can pull off exaggerated sideburns is a rare breed, but it seems, guys really like to go for it several times in their life. Looking back, I recall with dismay two boyfriends who decided to grow mutton chops, plus a handful of male friends who had surprised me with new facial 'dos after not seeing them for a while. Commenting on it, of course, is inevitable, and always met by the question, "Yeah, do you like it?" "Ummm … interesting." In a way, you can't blame them. Girls have so many more styling options, and if I were a guy, I'd probably get bored and frustrated with my look. I'm just not sure I'd turn myself into Colonel Mustard. You know how in women's fashion, we always talk about "dressing for guys" and "dressing for girls"? Is this the male equivalent? Do any ladies find mutton chops hot?
*For the record, the date was splendid—disliking a guy's facial hair situation wouldn't change the way I really feel about him.

Urge Congress to Help End Violence Against Women
In her lifetime, approximately one in three women around the world will suffer violence simply because she is a woman. Sex trafficking, rape during times of war, and domestic violence are destructive forces not just for women, but for entire communities. This cannot continue.
Your legislators have the power to speak out against this systemic violence against women, and rally support for innovative programs that decrease acts of violence.
Please ask Congress to make women's safety an urgent priority. Their leadership could mean the difference between life and death for a woman or girl.
In her lifetime, one in three women globally will suffer from the first-hand effects of violence. This violence against women is a global health crisis and human rights violation that contributes directly to instability and insecurity throughout our world.
I am asking you to take a stand for women.
You have the power to speak out against this systemic violence against women, and rally support for innovative programs that decrease acts of violence.
I'm urging you to make it a priority to:
-Improve our government's ability to respond to systemic violence against women
-Provide aid to women's groups on the ground working to help survivors.
-Support innovative programs that decrease acts of violence.
-Focus resources on prevention and ensure that dollars are used in the most effective ways possible.
Your leadership could inspire the international community to stand up and demand better for women around the world. Please make a difference in the lives of millions of women and girls by making their safety a priority today.

My son was hurt while we were at a private property. He has a scar and got lots of stitches. This occurred about 6 months ago. I feel that the wound has healed and now i am sure that he might needs scar revision surgery. I talked to one of the doc...
You say your child was injured on the property of another. Assuming that property owner maintained the property in a dangerous condition and that condition was the cause of your child's scars, here is the answer to your question. You can write to the homeowner and get the his homeowner's insurance company name, address and the homeowner's policy number. You can use that information to open a claim for your child. If the homeowner's insurance company will not pay what you believe is a sufficient amount of money you can just leave the claim open until the child gets older. If you do reach an agreement with the insurance company, however, you will have to have an attorney file papers with a court and ask a judge to agree that the settlement is fair to your child. If a settlement is approved by judge the money will have to go into a blocked account and can only be released by a judge's order as long as your child is under the age of 18. There is more to all of this than what I have written here but this information may at least give you some understanding of the process. Best wishes to your child for a full recovery.See question

Do you carry Uninsured Motorist insurance on your own policy? In California, your own Uninsured Motorist policy will cover where the at fault person's policy ends, up to the limits of your Uninsured Motorist coverage. If you have Uninsured Motorist coverage of at least $100,000.00 per person, you may have enough to cover your claim, even if it turns out that the at fault party has low insurance policy coverage.See question
When the boy said my dog bit him I thought that's why he pushed my dog away. The wound was a puncture wound that was not bleeding. I told the mother that was supervising the teen I would pay the co-pay and she later told me the boy pushed my dog...
If you have homeowners insurance I suggest you call your agent and advise the agent that your dog bit someone. Your homeowners insurance may takeaware of it for you. if you have renters insurance it might also cover a dog bite for you.
If you do not have homeowners or renters insurance you may havevaproblem If the mother of the child will agree to resolve he matter in exchange for you paying the boy's medical bills it may be a good deal for you. If you can hire a local lawyer to draw up a release for the mother to sign on behalf of he boy, if he is ubonder 18, indicating that in exchange for you paying the medical bills they come back and sue you, that would also be a good deal for you.
You do have some arguments to defend yourself with but you will be far better off if you can make this dog bite issue go away quickly. Also, if the town where the dog bite happened has a leash law and your dog was not on a leash you may have lawsuit exposure?. f

Did owner of the car have collision insurance on it? Since you were using the car with the owners permission you were a permissive user and the owners collision coverage should cover the cost of repair, less the insurance deductible.

If you still have unused medical payment funds on your vehicle policy you can send your hospital bills to your own insurance company medical payments department yourself and get the bills out of collection.
in regard to your other medical bills, I represent people on Medicare who get injured in car accidents and have no problem getting their car accident bills paid by Medicare. Medicare does have a right to re-paid out of your settlement but you can still get your auto accident medical care paid for by Medicare.
I don't know what is going on with your attorney and yourself but It sounds as if the attorney client relationship appears to be in trouble. If you and your attorney can't resolve your concerns to your satisfaction you can get a new attorney. When you get a new attorney you don't have to pay more money. The new attorney and previous attorney have to share whatever the one attorney fee is on your case.
I hope that you and your present attorney can resolve the matter.
Good luck
John Burns

I live in CA. I was rear-ended at 35 mph when I was stopped at a light. I suffered whiplash, cartilidge was torn from the joint in my right thumb, and I now suffer from severe ulnar and median nerve damage. I'm told I have 2-3 debilitating surgeri...
You have two major problems. First, you need to ask your own insurance agent if you have Uninsured Motorist coverage on your insurance policy and how much your coverage is.
Then you need to find out how much insurance the person who hit you has.
in California the other person is not required to tell you unless you file a lawsuit. Then they have to tell you.
Your case sounds like it has enough value for you to be represented by a personal injury attorney.
Your biggest problems may be if you do not have have Uninsured Motorist coverage on your own policy or the other person has no insurance or insurance with very low limits.
Good luck.

i was crossing it was my turn to walk and the red light was on for the driver but some crazy college student passed the red light and ran me over. now what? no injuries but he crossed a red light and ran me over
The law can only pay money to make things right. You must have injuries, what we call damages in the law, for the law to compensate you. What happened is unfortunate but there is nothing the law can do for you because you have no damages (medical bills, etc.) for which you can be compensated (paid). Be glad you were not hurt and don't have injuries and medical bills. I hope you enjoy your holidays knowing you could have been far worse off.

I recently received a settlement from a motorcycle accident I was badly injured in. Although my injuries were well over 100,000 that I received because that was the max the driver was insured for. Can my health insurance provider take my settlemen...
The only thing you can do is to tell your health insurance company that you have not been what is called "made whole" by the settlement. That means that you will not have received a fair share of the settlement amount if you are forced to re-pay the insurance company. Ask them to reduce your repayment amount so that you are "made whole" by the settlement. They may then say that your health insurance policy has a clause that says they are not required that you be made whole.
If you already have the settlement money they may be afraid that you will just keep the money. In that case they may be willing to negotiate with you. If you do not reach a settlement with your insurance company they may drop your insurance or sue you for the amount owed.
Good luck, John Burns
After the accident the companies insurance want to settel with the person. He signed the settlement but his medical bills exceeded the policy limit. Now the insurance company want that person to sign addendum stating that he should not go after or...
It sounds like the injured person has signed the release but is reluctant to give the signed release back to the insurance company. It sounds like he has realized that the amount of your company's insurance policy is not enough to pay his medical bills. If he does not sign the release and give it back to the insurance company he will have to try to find a lawyer who will take his case and sue for him. If he does find a lawyer to take his case the lawyer will sue the company and you both. He may get a judgment against you and the company. Since you say that you do not have any assets there is nothing he can collect from you. He could attach your wages, called a garnishment of wages,, whereby an amount of money is taken out of your pay each paycheck to pay down the judgment little by little. If with that amount taken out of your paychecks you don't have enough money to live you may be able to file bankruptcy. In the bankruptcy you can ask the judge to discharge, which means get rid of, the entire judgment against you. All of this may never happen because he may not be able to find a lawyer to take his case. If he does find a lawyer to take his case it may take a year or two for him to get a judgment against you. I would not worry about it for at least a few months if I were in your position. Try to forget about it for now and have a good holiday.
Good Luck, John Burns


text: I know you have an E34 525i that you use as the family hauler. I am rather familiar with the E34 as a car (not as a family hauler) as my dad had one from 1988 (it was an early 1989 model) until late 1999 (when it was replaced by an E39), but I am curious as to your take on it as a family car. Do you feel there is enough space? Have you had any reliability issues (reliability not maintenance)? Any other relevant observations?

The Elephant and Orestone Manor in the Devon town are two of just 18 new Michelin stars awarded across Britain and Ireland this year.
The classic BBC sitcom, featuring the hotel with dreadful food and worse service, was set in Torquay.
Tourist chiefs said the stars will help remove "old-fashioned preconceptions".
Maureen McAllister, director of leisure for Torbay Development Agency said: "To now have not just one but two restaurants with the coveted Michelin Star is absolutely fantastic. This is one of the ultimate benchmarks for any destination."
The Elephant's head chef Simon Hulstone, 31, said: "When I heard I was extremely excited and now I'm full of anticipation for the year ahead."
Guide editor Derek Bulmer said the seaside town's success marked a "particularly good year for Devon" as more top chefs set up outside London.

lululemon athletica - Run:Energy SS
I think the new lululemon fall clothing is great for all athletes~ runners, cyclists, yogis, steppers... I especially lose the motivational tees!! RUN! Push yourself! Do it now!!
The back of this shirt is so tasteful and looks good in fitness classes or while walking to one. I wore mine (I have it in black) with jeans and flip-flops yesterday! Sooo versatile.
I have been watching this Y-back like a hawk waiting for the lolo purple color. It came out this week and I've already snatched it up!! LOVE it with the boogie shorts.
I just chased this down in the store in a citron and grey color combo. This is NOT for shy athletes. It is gorgeous on and moves with you. LOVE!
I have these in grey and I wear them for more than just working out. They're silky and totally worth every penny.
These are very low rise and therefore flattering on young butts. These are wonderful to workout in and come in a cropped version for those of you who like shorter bottoms.

Jaacob Vanwinkle to enter guilty plea in murder of mom and two kids, rape of surviving teen
Jaacob Vanwinkle. Additional photos and two videos below.
Back in March, we told you about the arrest of sex offender Jaacob Vanwinkle following the murder of a woman and her two kids in Canon City. The person who led to Vanwinkle's arrest was a sixteen-year-old who he'd allegedly raped.
Now, court documents reveal Vanwinkle's plan to enter a guilty plea on all 36 counts against him in exchange for a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Continue for details about that development and the crime itself as outlined in a now-unsealed arrest affidavit.
Vanwinkle is included on the Colorado Sex Offender website -- and he's been in trouble with the law elsewhere as well. He's said to have been convicted of "child molesting and vicarious sexual gratification" in Indiana circa 2004, with more time added for the same offense in 2007.
Cut to September 2011. As we reported, Vanwinkle was brought in for questioning in Johnson County, Indiana, after his roommate, fifty-year-old Michael Eaton, was reported missing. Police subsequently found Eaton's body under debris in the bedroom of a residence the pair shared. Vanwinkle was captured in a wooded area, having rabbited in part because he was in violation of his parole agreement at the time.
Here's a mug shot of Vanwinkle that accompanied news reports of his 2011 arrest. His neck tattoo reads: "I am what I am."

In the end, Vanwinkle wasn't charged with Eaton's murder -- and earlier this year, he found himself in Canon City.
The horror that followed is recounted by the Canon City Daily Record based on the aforementioned affidavit.
At 8:10 p.m. on March 9, according to the document, the Canon City Police Department received a phone call from the sixteen-year-old. She told the operator she'd been raped and members of her family were "tied up in the garage" at their home, on the 1100 block of Phay Avenue.
Near the scene of the crime, from KRDO-TV coverage.
CCPD cops, supplemented by law enforcers from the Fremont County Sheriff's Office, rushed to the scene and set up a perimeter. But when they got into the garage, no one was there.
At that point, five officers entered the house and found Vanwinkle in a bedroom on the home's second floor. The teen later told police that after Vanwinkle had sexually assaulted her a second time, he took some of her mom's pills and lost consciousness, allowing her to go to a neighbor's house and call for help.

Meanwhile, responders discovered three bodies in a bedroom downstairs: Mandy Folsom, 35, and two of her kids: Marissa, age nine, and Mason, five.
The Daily Record notes a subsequent coroner's report revealing the causes of death for all three as "multiple incised wounds" presumably created by a knife.
Continue for more about the anticipated Jaacob Vanwinkle guilty plea, including additional photos and two videos.

Now, however, the denials appear to be at an end. Vanwinkle's attorneys have reportedly filed paperwork stating that "the defendant, through counsel, has informed the district attorney of his desire to waive the preliminary hearing and to enter a guilty plea to the charges as filed."
The accusations include fourteen first-degree murder counts, six sexual-assault allegations, two apiece for child abuse resulting in death and second-degree kidnapping, three variations of sexual assault on a child, and one each regarding first-degree assault and unlawful sexual contact.
Look below to see Vanwinkle's latest booking photo, plus a report from Colorado Springs' KRDO-TV after the March incident and another package following his 2011 capture in Indiana.

NEW BERLIN, Ill. ( TheStreet) -- A recent survey found that seven out of 10 Americans are more concerned with short- and midterm spending, placing long-term savings a distant third place.The survey further found that about two-thirds of people who unexpectedly retired due to a corporate downsizing or a medical condition indicated they weren't financially prepared. Sixty percent of those still working say they are behind schedule in saving -- regardless of age, income or ethnic background. Seventy percent of those surveyed expect to work at least part time for the first 10 years of retirement to supplement income. More than half of those surveyed expressed an extreme lack of understanding of how to choose financial products to meet their long-term savings needs.
|More than half of the people answering a recent survey expressed an extreme lack of understanding of how to choose financial products to meet their long-term savings needs. But it's not too late.
To address these shortcomings, it is necessary to understand all of your potential areas for funding your long-term savings plan -- including employer plans, IRAs, Social Security and even annuities. After reviewing all of these available avenues, the question becomes how to fund the savings plan. How can you free up cash to add to your savings? Parkinson's Law
Welcome to Parkinson's Law, specifically the Third Principle. For those of you not familiar with this, the Third Principle of Parkinson's Law states that expenses always rise to meet available income, and then some. You may also recognize this statement: "It's always possible to live outside your means." The good news is that it can work in reverse. When you voluntarily reduce your expendable income by diverting it into savings, it may be a little awkward and painful at first, but you'll quickly figure out how to bring your day-to-day expenses into equilibrium. As you accomplish this, you can gradually build up the amount you divert to your savings.


text: Posted May 21, 2013 How do you say this team is a playoffs team? They went 7-9 last year, play in one of the toughest divisions, of which all of the teams have arguably made more moves to get better than we have. Because we were about 3 or 4 bad plays away from a wildcard berth last season. We'd have been bumped out pretty much right away, but still. Also, not sure why you think we're being lapped by our division. If anything, we seem to be neck and neck with everyone else. Tampa filled in their secondary but lost their pass rush. Atlanta filled in their secondary but you and I could play DE/DT for them. Saints are switching defensive alignments and are coming off a season in which they set records for being horrible on defense. Grabbed a S. We've already got the biggest piece in place (pass rush) and really bolstered the DLine. Our secondary is suspect. We match up well against the current best team in the division (ATL). Personally, I think we have a pretty decent shot of making the playoffs, barring something unforeseen. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's easy to fix. But it seems that in this case gin extract_query method becomes slow (because index scan itself is breakable).

World premiere in Geneva
New Astra OPC: Sport-Compact with Striking Looks
Rüsselsheim. The new Astra OPC from Opel makes its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show (March 3 – 13, 2005). This production version of the Astra High Performance Concept study revealed in Paris is based on the Astra GTC and takes the dynamic potential of the new compact class generation to new heights with its striking looks and state-of-the-art technology. With its 176 kW/240 hp 2.0-liter turbo gasoline engine, the arden blue Astra developed by the OPC team is one of the most powerful compact front-wheel drive cars on the market. The engine develops maximum torque of 320 Newton meters and delivers strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The Astra OPC comes with a six-speed manual transmission, accelerates from zero - 100 in less than seven seconds and reaches a top speed of more than 240 km/h.
Hans H. Demant, Managing Director, Adam Opel AG: "The new Astra OPC is the first of several sporty top models that we will be presenting in the coming months. With the new OPC range we want to show the high dynamic potential in the Opel portfolio."
The new Astra OPC's engine is based on the 200 hp 2.0-liter turbo gasoline unit with maximum torque of 262 Nm, the top motorization for the other Astra variants. The OPC's increased power is a result of optimizations to the intake and exhaust manifold, use of highest quality engine components as well as enhancements to the turbocharger and injection system.
The engine's power is matched by the IDSPlus chassis (Interactive Driving System) with electronic CDC (Continuous Damping Control) and integration of all driving dynamics controls, which has been made even more agile and sporty for the new Astra OPC.
Special 18-inch alloy wheels and 225/45 R 18 tires are standard, 19-inch wheels (235/35 R 19) in the design of the Paris show car are available as an option. Brake calipers painted in characteristic OPC blue emphasize the powerful brake system (internally ventilated disks at front: 321 mm / disks at rear: 278 mm).
The impressive power hidden beneath the top performer's exterior is apparent at first glance thanks to design features such as the front section which has a more muscular appearance than the Astra GTC. Its look is defined by a much wider and lower air intake, a honeycomb grille as well as a bumper with a clearly accentuated spoiler lip and integrated fog lights in the pronounced side apertures. At the same time, these provide a harmonious connection to the side sills which are more strongly profiled towards the rear of the car. The rear of the Astra OPC looks as powerful as the front. It is accentuated by a distinctive roof aerofoil, for increased down-force, two side cutouts with a lattice structure and the trapezoidal center tailpipe.
Eye-catching sporty details are also found in the interior. The most striking are the Recaro seats, which are designed for maximum lateral support. They are available in two-tone leather/fabric or leather upholstery. The seat surfaces are in arden blue or silver, while the side bolsters and head restraints are charcoal black. Other interior highlights are a new leather gearshift knob, chrome-ringed instruments with blue needles on black dials and stainless steel door sill trim – all with the new OPC logo. Décor on the instrument panel and in the doors is available in arden blue, silver or black.
The Astra OPC was developed by engineers at the International Technical Development Center (ITDC) in Rüsselsheim in close cooperation with the OPC (Opel Performance Center) team. Between 2001 and the end of 2004, over 15,000 OPC models based on the Astra, Astra station wagon and Zafira were delivered. The new Astra OPC will be launched in the fall 2005.

Laboratory Tests
The goals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) testing are to:
- Screen all newborns for 21-hydroxylase deficiency
- Help confirm the condition in those with positive newborn screens
- Help diagnose the condition in those with symptoms
- Identify the carrier status of a person who has a family member with 21-hydroxylase deficiency
- Determine the chromosomal sex (XX or XY) of a newborn with genitals that are not clearly male or female (ambiguous genitalia)
- Monitor treatment for CAH and detect overtreatment
- Evaluate and monitor the health status of a person with an adrenal crisis
- Detect 21-hydroxylase deficiency during pregnancy (sometimes)
- Identify and/or rule out other types of CAH besides 21-hydroxlase deficiency (sometimes)
Testing may include:
- Newborn screening for 21-hydroxylase deficiency performed as part of routine testing in the United States – detects 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP); there can be false positives, and babies with other types of CAH will likely be missed.
- Prenatal testing with chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis
- 17-OHP – may be greatly elevated with 21-hydroxylase deficiency
- ACTH stimulation – measures the level of cortisol in a person's blood before and after an injection of synthetic ACTH (Cortrosyn™, cosyntropin). If the adrenal glands are functional, cortisol levels will rise in response to the ACTH stimulation; not performed frequently.
- Additional testing may be performed when 17-OHP is elevated; often ordered as panels, depending upon which deficiencies and accumulations of precursors are suspected; may include several of the following:
- Androstenedione
- Testosterone
- 11-deoxycortisol
- Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS)
- 17-hydroxypregnenolone
- Pregnenolone
- Aldosterone and renin – to determine if levels of these substances are normal
- Chromosome analysis (karyotyping) – to determine a baby's sex by evaluating their chromosomes (XX (female) or XY (male))
- Genetic testing – performed to detect gene mutations; not usually needed for diagnosis but may be used for prenatal diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency and for detecting gene mutation(s) in family members to help determine carrier status; will detect the most common mutations. If a specific mutation has been identified in a family, testing should include that mutation.
Monitor treatment, every few months:
- Androstenedione
- Testosterone
Health status, during illness, and to monitor
- Electrolytes (especially sodium and potassium)
- Aldosterone
- Glucose
- BUN and creatinine – to check kidney function
- Liver panel – to check liver function
Non-Laboratory Tests
- Blood pressure
- Pelvic ultrasonography to evaluate internal reproductive organs in females
- Hand X-ray or bone-age study to evaluate rate of skeletal growth
