Recruiting is both a skill and an art when done well. There are layers to the skills required and it can feel like an uphill battle, especially when you get a couple of matches that fall through in a row. But being a great recruiter is about more than knowing how to do the job. You've also got to be confident, relentless, circumspect, and you can't let the bad days get you down.
Networking: Personality and Relationships
Recruiters are responsible for building relationships with their clients, who simply want to hire the best person for each open position. But they also have to be able to build relationships with the candidates that they'd like to place. You've got to be able to work with the people on both sides of an equation, and you've got to know how a candidate's personality will mesh with the corporate culture of a client. A match is only good if it lasts, so you can't simply convince people that they're a good fit. The fit has to actually be good.
Fluency with the Tools of the Trade
Building up that network of great clients and excellent candidates will require that you know where to find them. The ways that candidates search for jobs and the short cuts that clients may take are changing all the time. You've got to stay on top of all the best options and learn how to use them in a fluent, comfortable, and fast way. Develop a workflow that includes checking social media, online marketing tools, job sites, and resume listing sites. Use modern recruiting technologies like recruiting software that helps you to keep all those contacts organized and at your fingertips.
Balance Confidence with Listening Skills
Recruiting requires confidence. You've got to have an eye out for what you think is going to work best for others, which means you can't waffle about and say things like 'maybe this'll work out'. There's no room for matches that are just okay. Enthusiasm and confidence will help your clients and candidates to feel confident about you.
But there's a balance to be struck, because with over-confidence come foolish mistakes. Being a good listener is also part of the job. Great recruiters aren't always looking at their next great match, they're listening closely to what candidates and clients are actually asking for. Sometimes the client or candidate isn't able to communicate what it is they want, but if you listen closely you'll start to understand what would be a great match for them.
Patience, Speed, and Resilience
Why lump patience and speed together? Because a recruiter has to be the first one out of the gate when a great position opens which might be perfect for a candidate. The competition is high and that means you can't wait around to make that match.
At the same time, you've got to be patient as you wait for that perfect match to appear. Putting together a company with a candidate who simply won't thrive within the corporate culture will not be good for anyone. Even if the candidate is hired, if they don't last you're putting your reputation on the line. If you're impatience, you're risking your networks, relationships, and the work you've done to get where you are.
Finally, a great recruiter must be resilient. Not every placement will work out. Not every candidate will find a job through you, no matter how hard you work. And there will be times when a placement falls through and you feel like you just can't get back on your feet. Recruiting is a job that has built in ups and downs. When you're down, remember that you have to go back up eventually. Keep going or you'll never get there.

Icebike 2009
Today, February 1st, 2009, an event called "Icebike" was held in Winnipeg. It was a grueling, 12km long, cyclocross style race course which saw competitors snake around and through three laps of some of the walking and skating trails at The Forks.
Natural Cycle Courier messenger Ruprict Haacke (pronounced "Haka") handily won the race, with a substantial lead on the rest of the competition. Riding his courier bike, a white 1970 (something) Hudson's Bay Company XL100 fixed gear road bike, he beat the best cycle racers in Manitoba… many of whom where riding expensive super-light race bikes.
Ruprict has not only proven that he is very fast on a bike, but that an old road bike can be a very effective tool for transportation in adverse conditions.
"It doesn't matter wether I'm delivering a package, going to the grocery store, or on a race course. I only have one gear, and I only have one speed. That speed is 'balls to the wall.' It's a fighter plane reference, people." says Ruprict.

As the 2020 Annual Election Period (AEP) season takes off, many agents are realizing that this year represents one of change. With more than 8 million seniors affected by disruptions in their prescription drug plans for 2020, agents' phones are ringing off the hook. Plus, updates to Medicare.gov and the Plan Finder have left many agents searching for solutions to help them make the best recommendations to their clients.
With all this disruption, agents need ways to essentially manufacture time so that they can meet with more clients and make more Medicare Advantage plus Part D (MA-PD), Medicare Supplement and Part D (PDP) sales. Fortunately, Senior Market Sales® (SMS) has developed solutions to these challenges. The following agent testimonial illustrates how an SMS solution created time for sales opportunities that may have otherwise been missed.
Agent Testimonial
Thanks for opening my eyes to what was happening with Medicare.gov. Wow, to say that I was shocked, dismayed and apprehensive would have been an understatement.
As I have come to expect from SMS, you not only alerted me to a problematic issue but also offered a viable solution. That solution was Medicare Insurance Direct (MID).
Here's What We Did
We sent letters to 3,600 client households talking about Medicare.gov changes and the reintroduction of MA-PD to our county. The letter went on to invite them to one of four seminars we were organizing.
It turned out that client-interest regarding this information was off the charts. As a result of these seminar invites we ended up with over 200 people at each of the four events which equated to seeing over 800 clients within two days. We rented the largest venue in the city and were told that it could seat 325 people. When we arrived, however, we found chairs for only 160. Because of the high-interest level, the attendees stayed, standing along the side of the room and even sitting on the floor.
The Results
As of now, we have had 171 folks choose a different plan with the vast majority self-enrolling through our personalized consumer-facing website through MID. In addition, we have received over 15 emails with words praising the solution we presented to our clients. Most of them liked the simplicity and ease of the process and were happy to self-enroll.
More About MID
The idea of MID is to pair an agent's good, sound advice regarding a client's Medicare solution with the convenience of self-enrollment. Agents can use MID to match beneficiaries with available plans based on individual healthcare, prescription drug needs, and estimated out-of-pocket expenses. Agents send a Personalized Universal Resource Locator (PURL) to their clients that take them to a micro-site displaying the states and carriers that the agent is properly credentialed to sell, including MA-PD, PDP and Medicare Supplement.
The MID Process
You get credit for every sale that goes through MID. Plus, using MID allows you to help more clients than ever before. Request your own quoting enrollment website today, or call 1.877.645.0147.

Our Atlanta injury lawyers know that it is vital to hire the right kind of attorney with solid experience when dealing with personal injury cases. So we were interested to see a recent decision by the Georgia Supreme Court holding that a plaintiff in a legal malpractice action may not present expert testimony that he or she would have won the underlying lawsuit but for the lawyer's errors. The case, Leibel v. Johnson, clarifies that in legal malpractice cases, expert testimony is only allowed for proving standard of care and breach of duty, not proximate cause. Justice Harold Melton explained that this is due to the fact that it is the jury's role to decide on its own whether the plaintiff would have won the underlying case but for the attorney's negligent representation.
The underlying case was a gender and age discrimination case. Steven Leibel represented plaintiff Dr. Mary Johnson, a pediatric neurosurgeon, against Scottish Rite Hospital. The suit for malpractice claimed that Mr. Leibel failed to introduce evidence that would have shown there were issues of fact for a jury to decide in the discrimination action. In the malpractice case, Dr. Johnson called a legal expert, Peter Spanos, who testified that certain evidence "tipped the balanceof the underlying discrimination case in Dr. Johnson's favor. The trial jury awarded Dr. Johnson $2 million. The trial court granted Mr. Leibel a new trial, but the appeals court reversed and upheld the $2 million jury award. The Court of Appeals held that the testimony was admissible due to the "legal complexitiesof her discrimination case and was useful when a nonlawyer could not competently determine whether the negligence of the defendant lawyer proximately caused the plaintiff's damages.
The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed, with Justice Melton saying "the second jury in the malpractice case is not deciding what the first jury would have done in the underlying case had the attorney not been negligent, but only what a reasonable jury would have done had the underlying case been tried without the attorney negligence alleged by the plaintiff.The jury in the malpractice action needs to determine whether the plaintiff has a winning case, in other words, not whether some prior jury may or may not have believed the plaintiff had a winning case. In so holding, it disagreed with the appellate ruling concluding jurors could not resolve this issue without legal knowledge. Justice Melton wrote that it is inappropriate for the second jury to determine what the first jury would have done, but instead needs to decide the case on the merits.

Not a year can pass without the traditional celebration dedicated to St. Martin, and so not this year for the 21st time. On November 23, the Association of Slovenians celebrated this holiday, popularly known as St. Martin's Day.
It is a holiday that dates back to pagan times, when the peasants thanked the gods for the good summer. We, the Slovenians of Banja Luka, also take this opportunity to thank all those who have been with us over the years.
The presenter of the official part of the programme was Dušan Tomažič, a well-known friend of the Association and author of the book "Slovenian Ethnic Minority in BiH". At the beginning of the program, he invited Ana Marjanovic to address the guests on behalf of the Association. She stated that the wish expressed last year during the celebration of St. Martin for the Association to get its premises had been fulfilled, owing to the understanding of the Mayor of the City of Banja Luka, Mr. Igor Radojičić and the funds of the Government Office of the Republic of Slovenia for Slovenians Abroad. She stated that at the end of the year we usually gathered and collected impressions, but also wanted to rest so that we would be ready for further ventures. The projects for the coming year are ready, they will be diverse, but with the same task - preserving the identity of the Slovenian national minority, Slovenian language, culture, tradition, customs. Finally, she called on the Mayor of Banja Luka, Mr. Igor Radojičić to address the guests. He emphasized that he was pleased to be present at such an event and that he was happy that the Association of Slovenians, as the most active association of national minorities, got its premises, and emphasized the good cooperation of Banja Luka with business people from Slovenia.
Mr. Radojičić's speech was followed by the performance of the choir "Davorin Jenko" with two songs as well as the performance of the Children's Folklore Group of the Association "Triglav". Then Peter Kirič and Miran Trop from Ormož presented the Slovenian custom - baptism of wine in an interesting way. After the toast, guests were entertained by the "Džuboks" ensemble from Novo Mesto.
We hope everyone had a great time and that we will have a fun time together next year.

Grexit Cynicism
On Friday, I had dinner with some fellow die-hard cynics when another (and non-European) dinner guest raised the question of Grexit. To my surprise, their cynical answer was the complete opposite of mine.
My thinking on this matter was pretty much summed up in this post: Grexit and non-Grexit are both an unpredictable mess, except with different kinds of unpredictable. For this reason, I felt I could not make a recommendation either way, at least not on economics alone. Adding in my personal policy preferences, I suggested that Merkel should bite the bullet and cut the Greeks loose, and that the Greeks should try to stay in the Euro for as long as possible.
In terms of what I think will happen, this translates into the prediction that Mrs. Merkel will not spend a massive amount of political capital in order to do something that potentially cost just as many unknown hundreds of billions as kicking the Greeks out. This is a cynical prediction because it assumes that Mrs. Merkel will throw the Greeks, as well as the Portuguese, Spanish, Italians and Cypriots, under the bus for domestic political gain.
My interlocutors on Friday, however, deployed their cynicism in the opposite direction. To begin with, they denied the premise that European bailouts are unpopular in Germany. Instead, they argued that Grexit as such would be unpopular among German voters, because it would amount to a defeat for the European project. For this reason, they predicted that Mrs. Merkel would throw democracy under the bus to prevent a Grexit. In a nutshell, what they predicted was something along the lines of Piris' Two-Speed Europe, with a core of strong European countries like German, Finland and the Netherlands dictating a "growth package" to Greece as a condition for Greece staying in the Euro. This Growth Package would essentially mean that Greece would be mostly governed from Brussels.
In this scenario, not only would European democracy be sacrificed because this Growth Package would be pushed through at all cost, but even more seriously the Package would imply a serious and lengthy loss of sovereignty for bailout countries. No more right of veto for the Commission, but an outright Brussels diktat. All of this as the price for non-bankruptcy.
I have to say that it all sounds improbable to me. It came from intelligent and knowledgeable people, so I tried to consider the possibility carefully, but I don't see it happening.
To begin with, and even though I pointed this out on the night, I don't think they understand what fantastic amounts of money would be involved, and not just once but every year. Recently, Paul Krugman put the annual net transfer to Florida at $ 31 billion. That's a gift, not a loan. Likewise, as a result of the Savings & Loans crisis in the 1980s Texas received a gift of 25% of its GDP or $ 75 billion. When I did some back-of-the enveloppe comparisons between the suffering of net contributors in the EU and in the US in this post in March, I ended up with Denmark making a net contribution to the EU budget of 0,53% of its GDP and New Jersey losing out to the tune of 6,4%. The winners of this game, Lithuania and Mississippi, gained 5,33% and 16,9% of GDP, respectively. The paradox of the "political integration" idea is that, on the one hand, its proponents always repeat that the EU will never be like the US federal government – it will never govern social security, etc. in the same way – but on the other hand it is inevitable that it will have to generate comparable international money flows in order to do what it was meant to do: save the Euro.
These are two seemingly distinct yet connected problems. Political union will have to do one or both of two things: reduce the trade imbalance between the core and the periphery by creating growth among the latter, which seems difficult in the middle of a global economic crisis and ongoing banking issues, and prevent a further escalation of the debt crisis by replacing loans by grants. Put crudely: if we're not going to kick Greece out of the Euro, we're going to have to start giving them money outright. Not even ECB operations are enough to keep Greece solvent and liquid without them.
Now the question that the politicians will have to answer – if they want political union rather than Grexit – is: Which form do we give these transfers? The most obvious short-term candidate seems EU-FDIC. We insure periphery banks, and give them a prize for every bank they manage to collapse. And this is merely the most palatable policy initiative. Anything else that Merkel and Hollande could come up with to explain why they're sending money Southwards is going to be even more unpopular. The Wiedervereinigung is one thing, at least that involved sending massive amounts of money fellow-Germans and having massive numbers of fellow-Germans move in next door. How can such a thing ever be sold on a pan-European level?
The second big problem with the "throwing democracy under the bus" scenario is a legal one. While I was being accused of being "too much of a lawyer", I think that is too easy. While the Bundesverfassungsgericht has so far always limited itself to barking without biting, I don't think it would uphold a drastic Europeanisation of the power to tax-and-spend. Under the Lisbon-judgement, that is a core power of the democratically elected Bundestag that cannot even be transferred to the (in my opinion but not theirs) equally democratically elected European Parliament. While there is some uncertainty about whether the Ewigkeitsklausul of art. 79(3) GG also covers the writing of an entirely new Verfassung under art. 146 GG, in practice I don't see how such a loophole could matter, because I can't imagine the German people using it in order to overrule the Constitutional Court. For that, the status of the Court is much too high.
This is why I cannot escape the conclusion that throwing the periphery countries under the bus, rather than putting democracy there, is the path of least resistance for Mrs. Merkel and her Dutch and Finnish friends. Am I wrong?

JAMES E. BELLIS AND BETTE LU BELLIS, HUSBAND AND WIFE, APPELLANTS (DEFENDANTS/PLAINTIFFS),v.RONNY L. KERSEY AND PEGGY J. KERSEY, HUSBAND AND WIFE, APPELLEES (PLAINTIFFS), AND BENJAMIN H. HOWARD, JR., BENJAMIN H. HOWARD, IV, ROCKY MOUNTAIN TIMBERLANDS, INC., AND GENERAL EDUCATION FOUNDATION, INC., APPELLEES (DEFENDANTS).
Appeal from the District Court of Platte County, The Honorable John C. Brooks, Judge.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Voigt, Justice
Before KITE, C.J., and GOLDEN, HILL, VOIGT, and BURKE, JJ.
[¶1] The district court consolidated two civil actions involving ownership disputes among neighboring landowners in Platte County, Wyoming. After a bench trial, the district court concluded that the appellants had not proven ownership of the disputed land through adverse possession, ordered their ejectment from a portion thereof, to which portion title was also quieted in the record owners, and ordered the appellants to pay trespass damages and costs. This appeal followed. We conclude that the district court's findings of fact are not clearly erroneous on some issues, but are clearly erroneous on other issues, and we therefore affirm in part, and reverse in part.
[¶2] So as better to present the detailed facts and the issues, we will briefly introduce the parties and identify their primary pleadings. The appellants are James E. Bellis and Bette Lu Bellis (the Bellises). They were the plaintiffs in a quiet title and declaratory judgment action filed on April 4, 2006, against Torey S. Hanks and Julie B. Hanks (the Hanks), Benjamin H. Howard, Jr. and Benjamin H. Howard IV (the Howards), and Rocky Mountain Timberlands, Inc. (RMT).*fn1 The Hanks, Howards, and RMT filed an Answer denying the Bellises' claims, but presented no counterclaims. Prior to the filing of that action, the Bellises were the defendants in an action filed by Ronny L. Kersey and Peggy J. Kersey (the Kerseys) alleging trespass and seeking quiet title, injunctive relief, and ejectment. In their counterclaim against the Kerseys, the Bellises asked that title be quieted in them. The district court consolidated the two cases because both disputes involved a contiguous area that had been under common ownership and the Bellises' claim of ownership to the disputed area of each parcel was based on the same evidence in regard to adverse possession. The following map shows the lands in question, with the shaded area in Sections 3 and 10 east of the Bellises' 1997 purchase and west of the fence being the disputed area.
2. Did the district court err in ordering the ejectment of the Bellises from the Kerseys' tract?
[¶3] 1. Did the district court err in ruling against the Bellises on their claim of adverse possession?
3. Did the district court err in denying the Bellises' quiet title claim, and in granting the Kerseys' quiet title claim?
4. Did the district court err in granting trespass damages to the Kerseys?
5. Did the district court err in granting costs to the Kerseys?
[¶4]Because the primary claim presented to the district court was one of adverse possession, the trial transcript and appellate briefs present a detailed history of the ownership and use of the disputed lands. We will resolve this primary issue upon grounds somewhat different from those relied upon by the district court, so we will focus upon the facts that are relevant to that disposition.
[¶5] The disputed land and the surrounding area was developed as a ranch beginning with the arrival of Millard Coleman in 1888. As of April 30, 1987, Rowena Coleman owned the subject lands in Sections 3 and 10, while Charles and Jean Coleman owned the subject lands in Section 4. On that date, Charles and Jean Coleman sold to the Bellises a parcel of land that, for the purposes of this inquiry, had as its eastern boundary the section line between Sections 3 and 4. In other words, that deed conveyed nothing in Section 3 or in Section 10.
[¶6] James Bellis testified that, over the following years, the Bellises ran cattle, hunted upon, and leased out not just their land in Section 4, but also the land in Sections 3 and 10 west of the fence shown on the above map. Mr. Bellis further testified that Charles Coleman knew the fence was not on the property line, but recognized the Bellises' use of the now-disputed area under "the old fence law," meaning adverse possession.
[¶7] In 1997, the Bellises learned that the Colemans intended to sell their property in Sections 3 and 10. Mr. Bellis and Mr. Coleman discussed resolving the boundary issues in those sections, to enable the Colemans to sell the property. Not wanting to go to the expense of a formal survey, the two men agreed upon a straight diagonal line running northeasterly from the section corner (3, 4, 9, 10) as the boundary between their properties. That diagonal line, as described in the ensuing deed from the Colemans to the Bellises, is shown on the above map as the western edge of the disputed lands. The Bellises paid the Colemans $18,000 for the additional lands not described in their earlier deed. Significantly, Mr. Bellis ...

Sketch for Tips
Social skills as well as artistic ability will decide the best Artist in this challenge.
Vital Statistics
Date: April 30, 2013
Appearing: Abby Howard, Erika Moen, Katie Rice, Lexxy Douglas, Maki Naro, Monica Ray, Tavis Maiden, Graham Stark, Kris Straub, Robert Khoo
The Artists return to Card Kingdom where their booths from The Merch are still set up for the Strip Search Expo. While there are many "normal" con-goers, staff from Penny Arcade wearing Strip Search pins act as judges. Each judge is given an amount of fake money and instructions to pay $5 per sketch, though they may tip more if they believe they were treated well. The Artist with the most money at the end of 60 minutes is the winner. The Artists are each given paper and a 12-pack of Copic markers. While many people interacted with the Artists normally, others broke merchandise, rearranged displays, demanded free merchandise, stole merchandise, and generally tried to make the Artists feel uncomfortable. Robert Khoo in particular seems to relish this; Graham speculates to the camera that this is some form of therapy. Erika dubs Khoo a "booth barnacle" and calls his behavior "totally inappropriate"; multiple people end up paying Khoo to go away. Only $38 separated the person with the most and the person with the least, but $17 of that was between first and second. Tavis wins and receives a Black Ink Pro Kit and Airbrush set from Copic, as well as "the prize that nobody wants". With little information about the convention challenge to go on, Tavis evaluates everyone based on the entire competition and chooses Abby and Erika. Graham reveals that Abby and Erika finished second and third in this competition.
- The door Kris Straub appears from is actually a small electrical closet, where sound tech Theodore Sherman was also hiding the entire time.

This 1945 ROLEX OYSTER CHRONOMETER is becoming hard to find. The 30x39mm. stainless steel ROLEX OYSTER "Viceroy" style case is a smaller size, but appears larger than the boy's size due to the shape of the case and provides decent wrist coverage. I do like that fact the case has not been polished and maintains its original state. The original OYSTER PATENT winding crown is still present. The manual winding ROLEX movement is quite fine-meeting chronometer standards and adjusted to six positions and was just cleaned by our ROLEX approved watchmaker. The dial was restored MANY decades ago, and has taken on a graceful patina over time. The blued steel pencil hands are original to the watch.  This is a very uncommon ROLEX, with a very FINE movement.Â

As the trade war between the Chinese government and Donald Trump heats up, most people assumed the cannabis industry would be mostly unaffected since the amount of marijuana we export to China is 0. But there is one way Trump's trade war will actually damage the industry.
One of the goods the Trump administration added to its list of Chinese products that could be subject to a new 25 percent tax is vaping devices. While most of the companies that make vapes and products to put in them are based in the United States, the actual devices are mostly manufactured in China.
Now a tariff isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world. Some companies could simply absorb the added tax and make less money, increase prices on vapes for customers or they could move the manufacturing of those devices to another country. However part of the reason why vapes are made in China is because companies need the lower labor costs in order to turn a profit on them. One expert in the industry estimated that most companies that sell vaping devices only turn a 10 to 15 percent profit on them. So since they're already making so little profit on it, the only reasonable course of action for them is to raise prices on consumers.
So if you're someone who likes your cannabis in vape form, you may have to pay a little extra starting next month.

Making Nutrition Management Scientific, Objective and Simple with the Help of Technology OM01-OM03
Dr. Sanjith Saseedharan,
Head-Intensive Care Unit, Department of Intensive Care Unit, S.L. Raheja Hospital (A Fortis Associate),
Raheja Rugnalaya Marg, Mahim West, Mumbai-400016, Maharashtra, India.
E-mail : firstname.lastname@example.com
Nutrition management is one of the cornerstones of care in the management of hospitalized patients, especially, for those who are critically ill. Significant numbers of hospitalized patients have alteration in appetite and the function of the gastrointestinal tract. Calculating the caloric goal, prescribed proteins to be delivered in a finite amount of water at a certain rate is the need of the hour and it becomes a daunting task to complete daily. With the help of technology such tasks can be completed easily and accurately. This suggestion based software called as âiNutriMonâ helps to screen out the patients which are at risk of malnutrition, formulate a plan, monitor and manage enteral nutrition of patients by calculating calories, proteins and water intake as per the patient requirement.

Current Focuses
The research activities of Li's group span several themes: Integrated Circuits/Systems & CAD, Computational Brain Modeling, Brain Inspired Computing and Hardware Systems, Statistical Machine Learning for IC Design/Verification, Energy and Autonomous Systems.
In the past several decades, CMOS technology scaling has enabled the proliferation of a wide spectrum of electronic systems, ranging from microprocessors, DSP processors, system-on-a-chips, consumer electronics and sensors, literally into every aspect of human life. Technology scaling not only offers increasing system performance at lower cost, but also, as an unavoidable side effect, introduces significant challenges as we strive for the next-level of high performance and high reliability in power-efficient circuits and systems. The ability in analyzing, designing and verifying increasingly complex designs plays a critical role in capitalizing nanometer manufacturing technology. On the other hand, new system architectures and design strategies, notably multi-core microarchietures, self-test & self-adapting designs, and bio-inspired circuits, have emerged for achieving optimal performance, power and reliability tradeoffs in lieu of technology scaling. This calls for new design techniques as well as CAD methodologies for such systems.
Current research topics are:
- IC power delivery, voltage regulation & conversion, power management
- Modeling, optimization, verification and test of analog/mixed-signal circuits
- Biophysically based brain modeling and large-scale parallel simulation of neuronal networks
- Brain-inspired learning algorithms, circuits and architectures
- Hardware based machine learning including spiking neural network accelerators
- Application of statistical machine learning to VLSI design & verification and autonomous systems
Our research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Texas Analog of Excellence (TxAcE), Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), DoD, and the US semiconductor industry with collaboration with major semiconductor and EDA companies (IBM, Intel, Freescale Semiconductors, Texas Instruments, AMD, Mentor Graphics etc) and other interdisciplinary research teams.

Do you have marketing skeletons hiding in your closet?
Did you know that: a web site that crashes on mobile, the old tagline that isn't relevant today, or the stock photos on your social media pages, are outdated and ineffective? On the flipside, what if we were to tell you that there is gold hidden in your vault that you don't even know of?

- Pyrrhic victory \PIR-ik\, noun:
- A victory achieved at great or excessive cost; a ruinous victory.
I'm planning to participate in the current Lion Brand Crochet-along (did you notice that little badge in my sidebar?). I love this cardi. I love the extra help and guidance on Lion Brand's blog, Lion Brand Notebook. I love Lion Brand Nature's Choice Organic Cotton. I don't love its price.
When perusing the Lion Brand offerings at my local JoAnn's, I made a very uncharacteristic choice. I've decided to crochet my cover-up using Pound of Love, a "super soft 4 ply knitting worsted weight 100% premium acrylic" in color no. 102: Bubble Gum. To me it was the most offensive (least offensive?) color offering in these jumbo skeins. Total cost for my cardi will be around $20, a 75% savings from what I'd pay for that lovely organic cotton. (How do I work in a reference to Pyrrhic victory here? If I finish the damned cardigan using this heinous bubble gum color, is it a Pyrrhic victory? Finished, but at what cost? Would it be more of a Pyrrhic victory if I'd overdrawn my checking account but completed my first structured garment in a yarn and color I love? I just don't know!)
Looks like my gauge is a little tight. Supposed to get 11 hdc in 4 inches; I appear to have 14 hdc in 4 inches. I'll cast another swatch tomorrow using a size J hook. Maybe there's the Phyrric victory aspect: I could have victoriously completed the damned thing using a size I hook only to discover its too damned tight around the bosoms. This promises to be a real adventure.

Ranking the Bond Movies: #15 – The World Is Not Enough (1999)
I'm conflicted about The World Is Not Enough. I enjoy the hell out of it, but for some reason, some parts of it just don't sit right with me.
It's one of those ones where, when I look at it on paper, all the checkmarks are there for a good Bond movie. And yet — it's not quite there for me. I don't know. It doesn't quite finish the job. I think it's an accumulation of a bunch of little things that seem curious to me — like M's behavior throughout the film. Maybe it's me having been spoiled from the Craig films, but it's almost as if they didn't know what to do with M for Brosnan. Her behavior from GoldenEye to this to Die Another Day (since she's barely even in Tomorrow Never Dies) shifts drastically. It's just confusing to me that she would randomly act this way. And then there's the whole Elektra business, which, on paper, works completely and makes her one of the better villains for all time. But watching it — I don't see it. I haven't quite been able to figure out what it was that doesn't quite work for me, but there's something.
It's just a bunch of stuff like that. I want to rank this film higher, but I just can't. It just feels like it's only just pretty good. (And notice, I'm not even mentioning Denise Richards. That doesn't even bother me.) I was tempted to put it a little higher because it's modern, and watches easier than the ones I ranked ahead of it, but I actually enjoy the other ones more. I'll probably watch this one first (mostly because I grew up with it), but as a franchise film, it doesn't work for me as well as some other ones.
But clearly it's head and shoulders above all the ones ranked below it. That's really all that matters. All that other stuff is about putting a number on it. Simply as a film, it's a really good one.

United States District Court, D. Connecticut
March 29, 2018
DANIEL CARPENTER, et al., Plaintiffs,v.COMMISSIONER, INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, et al., Defendants.
case arises out of a search conducted at 100 Grist Mill Road,
in Simsbury, Connecticut (the "Simsbury site"),
on April 20, 2010, by the IRS's Criminal Investigation
Division (the "IRS-CI"). On April 19, 2013, the
plaintiffs, Daniel Carpenter and Grist Mill Capital, LLC,
filed the present action pursuant to Bivens v. Six
Unknown Fed. Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971),
against multiple named defendants, including Shaun Schrader,
a Special Agent with IRS-CI ("Schrader"), and
"Unknown Agents 1-72" of IRS-CI.[1] (Doc. # 1.)
Carpenter has, in the various original and amended complaints
in this action, alleged that seventy-three agents
"descended" on the Simsbury site
"brandishing automatic weapons" in a
"'shock and awe' blitz[]" designed to
"terrorize" the people present at the site; that
those agents engaged in "commando" and
"SWAT-team tactics" and left Carpenter's
office "ransacked"; and that Schrader was the
officer responsible for organizing and executing the search
and supervising the participating agents.
December 14, 2016, I denied Schrader's motion to dismiss
the Fourth Amendment claims related to the unreasonableness
of the search brought against him in Carpenter's
penultimate complaint. (Doc. # 92.)[2] I noted that subsequent
discovery might show that Carpenter's colorful
allegations were not supported by actual evidence of Fourth
Amendment violations or Schrader's personal involvement
in such violations, but the issue could not be determined at
the pleading stage. Discovery ensued. On June 2, 2017,
Carpenter filed a Third Amended Complaint, which acknowledged
that IRS-CI Supervisory Special Agent Kathy Enstrom
("Enstrom") was at all relevant times
Schrader's supervisor and the on-site "Team
Leader" for the April 20, 2010 search. (Doc. # 114.) On
September 1, 2017, Schrader simultaneously moved to dismiss
the new complaint (doc. # 127), and sought summary judgment
on the claims against him brought therein (doc. #
record now before me on summary judgment reveals a different
account of the April 20, 2010 search, and a different role
therein for Schrader, than I was obliged to accept in my last
ruling: On the day of the search, the agents, who were
encouraged to wear business casual attire, and who had not
received any permission to bring automatic weapons, were led
into the building by Enstrom. Employees the searchers
encountered were gathered into a conference room, and soon
after the employees identified themselves, they were
permitted to leave. Carpenter's "ransacked"
office was not damaged in any way, and was merely left
messier than its usual already messy condition. Schrader was
not the supervisor of the agents executing the search and was
not even on site for much of the search.
I need
not address in this ruling the constitutionality of every
single isolated use of force alleged by Carpenter. Although
most are unsupported by significantly probative evidence,
even if Carpenter has produced evidence of any actionable
uses of force, no reasonable juror could conclude that
Schrader was personally involved in such uses of force.
Carpenter has failed to provide evidence capable of showing
Schrader's personal involvement in any Fourth Amendment
violations related to the execution of the April 20, 2010
search. Accordingly, for the reasons set forth more fully
below, I GRANT Schrader's Motion for
Summary Judgment and DENY as moot
Schrader's Motion to Dismiss.
Standard of Review
judgment is appropriate when the record demonstrates that
"there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact
and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of
law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a); see also Anderson v.
Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 256 (1986) (plaintiff
must present affirmative evidence in order to defeat a
properly supported motion for summary judgment).
ruling on a summary judgment motion, the court must construe
the facts of record in the light most favorable to the
nonmoving party and must resolve all ambiguities and draw all
reasonable inferences against the moving party.
Anderson, 477 U.S. at 255; Matsushita Elec.
Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587
(1986); Adickes v. S.H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S.
144, 158-59 (1970); see also Aldrich v. Randolph Cent.
Sch. Dist., 963 F.2d 520, 523 (2d Cir. 1992) (court is
required to "resolve all ambiguities and draw all
inferences in favor of the nonmoving party"). When a
motion for summary judgment is properly supported by
documentary and testimonial evidence, however, the nonmoving
party may not rest upon the mere allegations or denials of
the pleadings, but must present sufficient probative evidence
to establish a genuine issue of material fact. Celotex
Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 327 (1986); Colon v.
Coughlin, 58 F.3d 865, 872 (2d Cir. 1995).
when reasonable minds could not differ as to the import of
the evidence is summary judgment proper." Bryant v.
Maffucci, 923 F.2d 979, 982 (2d Cir. 1991); see
also Suburban Propane v. Proctor Gas, Inc., 953
F.2d 780, 788 (2d Cir. 1992). If the nonmoving party submits
evidence that is "merely colorable", or is not
"significantly probative", summary judgment may
be granted. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 249-50.
The mere existence of some alleged factual dispute between
the parties will not defeat an otherwise properly supported
motion for summary judgment; the requirement is that there be
no genuine issue of material fact. As to materiality, the
substantive law will identify which facts are material. Only
disputes over facts that might affect the outcome of the suit
under the governing law will properly preclude the entry of
summary judgment. Factual disputes that are irrelevant or
unnecessary will not be counted.
Id. at 247-48. To present a "genuine"
issue of material fact, there must be contradictory evidence
"such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for
the non-moving party". Id. at 248.
If the
nonmoving party has failed to make a sufficient showing on an
essential element of his case with respect to which he has
the burden of proof at trial, then summary judgment is
appropriate. Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322. In such a
situation, "there can be 'no genuine issue as to
any material fact, ' since a complete failure of proof
concerning an essential element of the nonmoving party's
case necessarily renders all other facts immaterial."
Id. at 322-23; accord Goenaga v. March of Dimes
Birth Defects Found., 51 F.3d 14, 18 (2d Cir. 1995)
(movant's burden satisfied if he can point to an absence
of evidence to support an essential element of nonmoving
party's claim). In short, if there is no genuine issue of
material fact, summary judgment may enter. Celotex,
477 U.S. at 323.
Factual Background
Schrader's Role in the Investigation
served as a Special Agent with the IRS-CI from April 2004 to
August 2010 (Local Rule 56(a)(1) Statement of Undisputed
Material Facts at ¶ 1, doc. # 129-2 [hereinafter
"Facts at ¶ "]), and was the Case Agent
assigned to the investigation of NOVA, Benistar, and other
related entities[4] (Facts at ¶ 2). Schrader's role
in the NOVA/Benistar investigation included designing
investigative strategy, serving subpoenas, considering
individuals who may be interviewed, identifying suspects,
proposing charges for indictments, drafting operations plans
for search warrant execution, conducting pre-search warrant
briefing for participating agents, and generally managing a
criminal investigation from initial receipt through
prosecution. (Facts at ¶ 3.) Schrader reported to
Enstrom over the course of the NOVA/Benistar investigation.
(Facts at ¶¶ 4-5.) Schrader did not himself
supervise any other agents and had no authority to instruct
agents regarding actions to take to further the
investigation.[5] (Facts at ¶ 5.)
a decision within the IRS-CI to seek to obtain evidence in
the NOVA/Benistar investigation via search warrant, Schrader
drafted an affidavit to support a search warrant for the
Benistar office located at the Simsbury site. (Facts at
¶¶ 8-9.) Schrader's search warrant affidavit
was submitted to U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas P. Smith on
April 16, 2010 and Judge Smith approved a search warrant for
execution during the daytime, from 6:00 a.m. to 10 p.m., on
or before April 25, 2010 (the "Search Warrant").
(Facts at ¶ 11.)
Preparation for the Search of the Simsbury Site
preparation for the search of the Simsbury site, Schrader
drafted a Search Warrant Checklist, an Enforcement Action
Review Form, a Risk Assessment Form, and a Search Warrant
Plan. (Facts at ¶ 17.) Those documents were approved by
Enstrom, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Joan Totani,
Special Agent in Charge Julio La Rosa, and IRS Criminal Tax
Counsel. (Facts at ¶ 17.) Although Schrader shared
responsibility for the selection of the number of agents
participating in the search and the identity of such agents,
he was not responsible for the supervision, instruction, or
training of the officers who assisted with the execution of
the search warrant.[6] (Facts at ¶¶ 20-22.) Schrader
likewise had no authority to discipline any of the agents or
to remedy complaints about any alleged wrongdoing by the
agents, and did not set IRS policies regarding search warrant
executions. (Facts at ¶ 21.)
Planning related to the number of agents executing the search
Search Warrant Plan included a list of 57 IRS-CI agents who
would be involved with the execution of the Search Warrant.
(Facts at ¶ 19.) The agents involved were assigned
responsibilities including (i) interviewing employees, (ii)
identifying Benistar employees, (iii) "provid[ing]
outside cover", (iv) conducting the search, (v) logging
evidence, and (vi) attending to attorney-client privilege
issues related to the seized items.[7] (Facts at ¶ 19; Search
Warrant Plan, at IRS00021-22.) Additional factors considered
in determining the number of agents necessary for the search
included the need to ensure the safety of the officers and
other individuals present during the entry and search, the
size of the building to be searched, the number of potential
occupants present, the document-intensive nature of the case,
and the need to maintain control of the scene.[8] (Facts at ¶
23.) The Simsbury site consisted of a 42, 000 square- foot
building on 11.2 acres of land. (Facts at ¶ 38.) The
building had space for over 50 offices, and included at least
6 conference rooms, separate filing rooms, a large record
center, a secure storage facility, and approximately 30-40
cubicles, of which 80% to 90% were occupied.[9] (Facts at ¶
38.) Carpenter estimated that a videographer might take an
hour and a half to get to Carpenter's personal office
(Facts at ¶ 38), which he estimated was 150 to 200 feet
from the front entrance (Fact Response at ¶ 38). There
were at least 30 to 40 employees who might be at the Simsbury
site on a typical day.[10] (Carpenter Dep. at 14:9-15:24; M.
Carpenter Dep. at 25:17-23; Schrader Dep. at 42:21-24.) There
is no dispute that this was a document-intensive case, with a
"sheer volume" of documents. (Fact Response at
¶ 23 (quoting Schrader Dep. at 10:2).)
Planning related to agents' attire
Search Warrant Plan called for the entry team members to wear
ballistic vests, pursuant to IRS-CI policies. (Facts at
¶ 25 (citing IRM § 22.214.171.124.5 ("All GS-1811
employees and their managers taking an active, participating
role should wear a ballistic vest. The final judgment on
whether a ballistic vest must be worn or whether an exception
will be granted, rests with the SSA.")).) Schrader was
not the SSA, and was not responsible for deciding whether
vests would be worn by the agents.[11]
had no independent role in determining the clothing that
would be worn by the agents. (Facts at ¶ 26; Schrader
Decl. at ¶ 11.) According to IRS procedures, the agents
were required to wear clothing that identified them as IRS-CI
or police officers. (Facts at ¶ 26; Schrader Decl. at
¶ 12.)
Planning related to firearms carried by agents
had no role in creating the IRS policies relating to
firearms. (Facts at ¶ 27.) IRS-CI agents are permitted
by IRS policy to carry firearms. (Facts at ¶ 27 (citing
IRM § 22.214.171.124.1).) All agents are assigned a
semiautomatic handgun as their service weapon (Facts at
¶ 27), and at the time of the search it was IRS-CI
policy that agents involved in search warrant execution must
carry a holstered semiautomatic firearm and handcuffs (Facts
at ¶ 27 (citing Schrader Decl. at ¶ 12)). Before
"long guns" (e.g., rifles and shotguns) may be
brought along in search warrant executions, a specific
written request must be submitted and approved, also in
writing. (Schrader Dep. at 39:25-40:13.) If long guns were to
be used, that fact would be noted in the Search Warrant Plan.
(Enstrom Dep. at 73:2-25.) Schrader did not request authority
for long guns to be used in the search of the Simsbury site,
no approvals for long guns were given in this case, and the
Search Warrant Plan does not indicate that long guns would be
used. (Schrader Dep. at 39:25-40:13, 41:7-8; Enstrom Dep. at
66:2-13, 73:2-25.)
Planning related to entry and execution of the search
Search Warrant Plan called for the agents to enter the
Simsbury site through the unlocked main entrance at
approximately 9:00 a.m. on April 20, 2010. (Facts at ¶
29.) The Search Warrant Plan did not include the use of a
SWAT team, but did note that the "Hartford POD [would]
bring entry/extraction tools" to the site."
(Facts at ¶ 29; Fact Response at ¶ 29.) The Search
Warrant Plan called for the agents to "make a general
announcement to the building while walking through regarding
the warrant". (Search Warrant Plan, at IRS00014.) Each
officer who encountered an employee would then identify
themselves, tell the employee that they were executing a
search warrant, and ask the employee if they had any keys to
unlock "their area or file cabinets and to leave the
keys at their desk". (Search Warrant Plan, at
IRS00014.) The employee would then be instructed to
"gather their purse/wallet and personal keys and
proceed to a general area in the front for
identification". (Search Warrant Plan, at IRS00014.)
The Search Warrant Plan did not contemplate lengthy
questioning or detention of most employees during the search,
simply stating that "[p]reviously assigned agents will
identify each employee prior to allowing them to leave the
building." (Search Warrant Plan, at IRS00014.) By
contrast, the plan sought interviews with three specific
employees: The plan stated that "Stefan Cherneski,
Kevin Slattery and Richard Belding will be interviewed,
please ensure the assigned agents are in contact with them as
soon as possible."[12] (Search Warrant Plan, at IRS00014.)
Carpenter did appear on a list tiled "Background on
Subjects/Interview Targets", which was included in the
Search Warrant Plan (Search Warrant Plan, at IRS00015-17),
but at the pre-operational meeting and in discussions between
IRS-CI and Criminal Tax Counsel, it was determined that
Carpenter would not be interviewed (Facts at ¶ 32
(citing Schrader Dep. at 75:9-76:2)).[13]
Pre-search briefing of the agents assisting with the search
The day
before the execution of the Search Warrant, Schrader and
Enstrom conducted a briefing for the agents who were assigned
to assist with the search.[14] (Facts at ¶ 35.) Schrader
provided an overview of the investigation, including the 419
plans at issue, and discussed the "whole op
plan". (Schrader Dep. at 131:18-21; Enstrom Dep. at
56:16-19, 207:17-24.) Schrader did not give instructions
concerning how the agents "were to effect their
jobs". (Enstrom Dep. at 206:20-207:1.) Enstrom
"provided guidance as to the operational plan and what
[they] were going to do the following day" and
"how [they] were going to act the next day"
(Enstrom Dep. at 56:16-19, 206:24-207:1.) Enstrom provided
the agents with a copy of the Items to Be Seized list, and
both Schrader and Enstrom discussed the list. (Enstrom Dep.
at 56:22-24.)
Execution of the Search of the Simsbury Site
On the
day of the search, April 20, 2010, at approximately 9:05
a.m., Enstrom, acting as the team leader of the Search
Warrant execution, led the agents into the Simsbury site
through the unlocked front door. (Facts at ¶¶
46-47.) Schrader was not on site for the commencement of the
search. (Facts at ¶ 48.) Upon entry, Enstrom first
encountered an employee she believes was a receptionist.
(Facts at ¶ 47.) Enstrom identified herself to the
employee, explained what the agents were doing there, and
asked to see the individual in charge of the premises. (Facts
at ¶ 47.) Agents then gathered the employees into a
large conference room. (Facts at ¶ 81.)
first encountered the search team when two male agents
entered his suite of offices at the rear of the building
around 9:00 a.m., through an unlocked door.[15] (Facts at
¶ 56; Fact Response at ¶ 56.) Carpenter observed
that the agents appeared surprised to see him, and that
although one of the agents entering his office had a rifle
that was pointed at him when the agents entered, the rifle
was not purposely pointed at him.[16] (Carpenter Dep. at
108:8-109:18.) Carpenter was escorted by the two agents to
the large conference room where other employees had been
gathered. (Carpenter Dep. at 84:24-85:5.) Carpenter does not
know who the two agents were. (Carpenter Dep. at 85:9-11,
gathering the employees into a large conference room, agents
asked the employees their names, and whether they had
identification on them. (Facts at ¶¶ 81-82.)
Employees who did not have identification on them were
escorted back to their offices to obtain their
identification. (Facts at ¶ 82; Meckel Dep. at
36:10-15.) Employees were allowed to take any personal
effects, but were told not to take any files or other work
records. (Facts at ¶ 82; Meckel Dep. at 36:15-19.) After
identifying themselves, the employees were allowed to leave
and most did leave.[17] Molly Carpenter recalls that everyone
was told they were free to go, including "maybe even
Dan and [herself]", but she did not feel free to leave
the building, because if she left she would not be let back
in, and she was "not going to leave [her] building with
a bunch of strangers"-she wanted to wait for their
lawyers to arrive.[18] (M. Carpenter Dep. at 37:14-38:15.)
provided the Search Warrant to Carpenter, but did not provide
the Search Warrant affidavit, which was under seal at the
time.[19] (Facts at ¶ 80.)
and Molly Carpenter left the building between approximately
11:10 a.m. and noon (Facts at ¶ 87), before Schrader had
arrived at the site (Facts at ¶ 50). Carpenter did not
re-enter the building on the day of the search. (Carpenter
Dep. at 118:5-11.)
acting as the Team Leader of the Search Warrant execution,
was "in charge on scene". (Facts at ¶ 46.)
Carpenter recognized that Enstrom "was the
'authority figure' who was in control of the site
during the search" and has stated that she
"definitely appeared to be the boss". (Facts at
¶ 46; Carpenter Dep. at 127:21-22.) On the other hand,
at the time of the initial entry at the Simsbury site,
Schrader was off-site at the M&M Coffee Shop in Hartford,
meeting with another target of the NOVA/Benistar
investigation. (Facts at ¶ 48.) Schrader arrived at the
Simsbury site a few hours after initial entry, and therefore
did not witness the agents entering the site, and only
arrived after Carpenter had left the building. (Facts at
¶¶ 49-50.) Schrader did not interact with Carpenter
at all, and Carpenter "still to this day couldn't
pick Shaun Schrader out of a ...
