Areas of Law Description
The Reeves Law Group in San Marcos, California helps personal injury victims in all aspects of personal injury law including (not limited to) the following:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents
As a personal injury victim that has been involved in a car accident, you should not rely on or trust that the insurance company has your best interest in mind. They work hard to protect their financial interests, and that is why they hire their own insurance adjusters, private investigations and attorney's. Their main focus is to decrease the amount of compensation made to injury victims such as yourself.
You should never settle without legal assistance or make their job simpler by giving them pertinent information that they can use to manipulate your claim. Hire the best auto accident attorney that will be proactive at protecting your interests and obtaining a fair settlement for your injuries.
- Motorcycle Accidents
Out of the different types of automotive collisions, motorcycle accidents are the most dangerous in almost every instance. You unfortunately don't have the protective safety features that a car has such as airbags, sturdy frames and seat belts. Often times motorcycle accidents occur because of other drivers that do not pay adequate attention to motorcycle drivers on the road. A motorcycle is a lot harder to see if a driver isn't paying attention, and therefore you may be injured because of someone elses's negligence. A responsible Encino motorcycle accident attorney will do the following:
• Look in to the accident thoroughly utilizing their legal expertise and years of experience
• Ensure that all evidence is preserved before it is lost
• Get proper information from witnesses that can benefit your case
• Create or obtain pictures from the motorcycle crash scene
• Ensure that the defendant's fault is clearly understood
• Review the motorcycle and safety equipment to make sure there weren't any noticeable or problematic defects.
• Meet all deadlines to file your claim with insurance and the courts
• Go after all responsible parties that are liable for your injuries
• Hire talented specialists to assist in your case
• Recover all medical costs, lost wages and other possible expenses
• Increase the pain and suffering damages that you rightfully deserve
- Truck Accidents
Any individual that has been hit by a large truck or semi knows that these large vehicles can be extremely dangerous because of their size and weight. They unfortunately are not able to maneuver easily and can quickly become the liable party if they don't take all precautions to be a safe driver. Typically damages from a trucking accident will be much greater than most automotive accidents.
When a truck driver is at fault for a crash with a smaller vehicle, the following issues often times contributed to the collision:
• Driver fatigue
• Abuse of substances while driving or prior to driving
• Speeding contributes to truck crashes
• Improper loading of the vehicle which reduced vehicle performance
• Lack of proper inspection and/or maintenance
• Poor manufacturing or vehicle defects
• Negligence of the trucking employer that put the driver at risk for a collision.
- Rollover Vehicle Accidents
Rollover accidents can cause extreme injuries, and often times car manufacturer's can be held liable if the vehicle wasn't properly designed to withstand force when a vehicle rolls. All vehicles can rollover given dangerous driving circumstances; however there are certain vehicles that have a very high center of gravity which make the automobile more prone to roll over during driving maneuvers. It is extremely important to contact a talented Encino rollover accident attorney after you have been in your rollover accident to ensure that the insurance company doesn't take advantage of you during your claim.
- Bus Accidents
The transit system is extremely valuable and often times operated very well. However, when you step foot in to a city bus you expect that the vehicle is driven by a fully rested and responsible driver that is obeying all driving regulations. Unfortunately school bus accidents occur as well, and a school bus accident is the last thing you would expect your child to go through.
Since there are many ways that a bus crash can occur, the main question that the insurance company and state will want to know is who is at fault for the injuries and damages. In crashes where there are multiple parties involved, the bus accident scene and witnesses will need to be thoroughly examined by your lawyer early after the crash to help determine who is at fault. The lawyer will need to determine who operated the vehicle, the company that is responsible and who the owner of the bus is. After you have been injured, finding an attorney that will investigate these specifics immediately after the accident is crucial to winning your case. If you or a loved one was injured in a bus accident, you must find the right Encino bus accident lawyer to help you win your case and avoid abuse from the insurance companies.
- Uninsured, Under-insured Motorist Coverage
Under-insured and completely Uninsured motorists bring a large problem to the table in auto accidents that occur in California. Fortunately the rate is declining, however this seems to be a problem that will likely never go away completely. Recently the estimated number of uninsured or under-insured drivers on the road hovers at around 15%. Another down side is that research shows these drivers to be more likely to get in to a car crash than insured drivers. Typically statistics show that they tend to be young male drivers with older and less safe vehicles. If you are injured by an uninsured or under-insured motorist, you need an attorney that is able to talk to your insurance company and create a lawsuit or claim to help recover damages that you have suffered in the car accident.
- Train Accidents
Train accidents are often times rare, however they do happen on a regular basis in California. The amount of stress and financial repercussions that occur are often times massive. The good news is that the law offers some valuable recourse to the victims in these types of accidents. Whether you were injured traveling on a train or struck by a train while driving, you may not be at fault for the collision and rightfully deserve compensation for injuries, lost wages and other damages. If you or a loved one was injured, you need to find out if you have a solid case. Contact a talented Encino train accident attorney to increase your chances of obtaining a settlement for your losses.
- Premises Liability
Premises liability is a legal issue when you become the victim of injuries due to unsafe conditions on a companies or person's property. The number of possible cases for premises liability is nearly limitless because so many different injuries can occur due to someone else's negligence. These individuals need to ensure their residence or place of business is safe for others.
These types of accidents would likely include: slip and falls, drownings, burns, fires, roof cave-ins, broken glass, dog attacks, low quality or lack of security and more. If you think you may have a case, contact a professional Encino premises liability lawyer to review your case.
- Construction Site Accidents
The number of individuals employed in the construction field in California is large. Unfortunately the conditions surrounding a construction site can often times be dangerous. It is very easy for someone to endure major injuries from faulty or dangerous equipment or possibly a fall from a high location while working on a property.
In these types of cases, time is of the essence. Often times construction sites can change quickly and evidence can be hidden or compromised if an attorney doesn't start researching your case immediately. Finding an experienced lawyer with a large amount of resources will help ensure that the investigation begins immediately and that all responsible parties are held liable in your lawsuit or claim.
- Slip and Fall
Slip and fall injuries are the 2nd largest cause of injuries in the USA. These injuries unfortunately are estimated to cause sixteen thousand deaths annually. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident, make sure to contact a reputable attorney to review your case.
- Assault and Battery Injuries
The only recourse that many assault and battery victims have against the person that committed the crime is going after criminal prosecution and financial damages. Many victims do not know that they are able to sue the assailant to obtain financial compensation for the damages as well as pain and suffering.
- Fires and Explosions
The most common fire related injuries occur because of gas leaks, boiler explosions and other less common circumstances. No matter the reason that you or a loved one have sustained burn injuries because of another parties negligence, you must contact a respectable Encino personal injury attorney to review your case and investigate the situation to help build a quality case that will help you recover financial obligations due from the defendant.
- Catastrophic Injuries
A catastrophic injury can stem from many different types of injuries. Some of the more common ones include major burns, amputations, back or spine injuries, loss of vision, nerve damage, and major fractures.
- Wrongful Death
Wrongful and accidental deaths are a terrible ordeal to go through. A large number of deaths occur because someone was negligent in one of a variety of ways which lead to the death. According to a report from the National Safety Council, a death from an injury happens every five minutes.
- Brain Injuries
Brain damage can be brought on by a large number of causes, including a botched operation, a major auto accident, toxic industrial injuries, a major trauma to the cranium, a slip-and-fall injury and the list goes on. Unfortunately, brain injuries are often times something that individuals cannot recover from and in many instances the person cannot work again in their life. Therefore, you cannot take this circumstance lightly, and you must hire a specialist with the knowledge and experience in these types of cases to file a lawsuit that will take care of the individual for a long time to come.
An attorney with an excellent track record for success in these types of cases should be visited immediately after the injuries occur. The faster you get in touch with an attorney the better, because often times evidence can be hidden or manipulated by another party if they have time to do so.
- Product Liability
Consumers of products put a large amount of trust in to the companies that manufacture products for consumption or use. Typically consumers are safe, however there are a large number of instances where products are not created properly or are defective, and should not be sold to the public. If you have sustained injuries or damages because of a faulty product, you must contact a product liability attorney with experience to fight for your rights.
- Roof Crush
A roof crush occurs during a rollover accident. The roof crush happens when the roof that is designed to protect the passengers and withstand great force fails to do it's job properly, and the roof comes down on the passengers inside of the vehicle. If vehicles are designed properly, the injuries are often times substantially lower. Typically if the roof comes down on passenger's, the injuries become majorly more severe because of the roof injuring passengers.
- Food Poisoning
If you believe that you have contracted food poisoning, make sure to seek medical help immediately. Following medical treatment, you must speak with an attorney that is experienced in handling these types of cases as soon as possible. Typically, like all other personal injury cases, the initial consultation is free of charge and you will pay no attorney costs unless we win your case.
- Asbestos Mesothelioma, Lung Cancer and Other Asbestos-Related Diseases
There are an estimated 2,500 people each year that die from malignant mesothelioma. This is a rare form of cancer that attacks a person's cells in the protective sacs surrounding internal organs. This can occur from unknown reasons, however this is often times brought on by prolonged exposure to asbestos.
- Car Defects
If you are in a car accident, you must hire an attorney that spends some time reviewing and investigating your case to determine whether your vehicle had any defects that would increase the amount of injuries sustained during the accident. If you have serious injuries because of a suspected defect to your vehicle, please contact an experienced attorney to review your case.
- Airplane Crashes
No matter the type of airplane crash you were involved in; whether it was a jumbo jet, a small private plane, a helicopter, or an ultralight - a qualified attorney will thoroughly research your case and aggressively pursue financial compensation for damages. You must hire a law firm with the experience and resources to thoroughly investigate the accident so that the true fault can be determined.
- Drunk Driving Accident Victims
If you are hit by a driver that was driving while intoxicated, you can endure substantial physical and financial losses. The extreme negligence of the other party caused the damages and injuries that you or a loved one received, and you must hire an attorney to investigate the circumstances to find a way to obtain compensation.
- Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Abuse
Under-staffing or abuse in nursing homes is a terrible situation that causes physical and emotional harm to the victims and their families. A CHF study revealed that 95 percent of California nursing homes did not meet federal recommendations and laws for acceptable staffing. Almost a quarter of the state's nursing homes weren't able to meet less rigorous standards.
If you believe that your family member has been mistreated or neglected in a nursing home, you must contact an attorney with experience in these types of cases to investigate the negligence or abuse and help you obtain compensation for mistreatment and suffering.
- Pedestrian Accident
Pedestrian accidents are unfortunately one of the most dangerous accidents that a person can go through. A person that is unprotected and hit by an oncoming vehicle has no protection from the heavy vehicle that strikes them. A pedestrian accident lawyer will be able to assist you in understanding your legal options in your individual circumstances and will be able to oversee a lawsuit if they believe that you have a solid case.

Surely there are both bad and good Republican consultants, better and worse messages and tactics. What we need now is a means of determining one from the other. This is the real Democratic and Progressive advantage; the ability to distinguish between what works and what doesn't using social science experiments.
Beginning with Progressive interest groups more than a decade ago, liberals allied with academic social scientists to study politics the way medical researchers study the effects of drugs. They embraced the core of the scientific method, deploying randomized, controlled experiments to rigorously test the effectiveness of their messages and tactics.
With these experiments, Democrats built – and continue to build – an objective base of knowledge on what works and what doesn't. Today, the Left is permeated with a culture of testing. Expert opinions are taken as just that; opinions, hypotheses to be tested with experiments.
Why did the Obama campaign invest so heavily in grassroots field offices? Years of randomized-controlled experiments indicated that, for all their expense and difficulty, they gave the highest vote return. Why did they promote strange video pledges to support the president or send "voter report cards" informing Democrats of their voting record and how it compared with their neighbors? Experiments indicated that these are effective at getting out the vote.

Seattle Pothole Information
Pothole Status
For the month of April 2017
* excludes requests that were closed because they were duplicates
Seattle Pothole Map
We know that potholes are a significant issue for people getting around in Seattle, especially in the winter and spring. When needed, SDOT assigns additional crews to help fill potholes across the city. Our goal is to keep the unfilled pothole requests at a steady low number.
On this map, you can see all the potholes that have been reported and the ones that have been filled. To help us reduce duplicate requests, you can check the map to see if we already have a pothole repair request for the location that concerns you.
The Pothole Status Map displays
When you request a pothole repair, the pothole is usually filled with either a temporary or permanent patch. The map will display the location of the repair, including the number of potholes filled and the date. Sometimes SDOT can't complete the pothole repair (see some of the reasons why); when this happens the request is removed from the map.
The map is refreshed with current data each night. It displays all pothole requests that haven't been completed, and pothole repairs that have been completed since March 15, 2010.
A note about the location: The symbol on the map shows the approximate location of the pothole. If the pothole request spans multiple blocks, the symbol has been placed somewhere within those blocks. If the request is for a specific location on a block, the symbol is placed at the midpoint of the block. You can check the Location Description to see more information about the specific site where our crews will be doing work by clicking on the pothole symbol.
Report A Pothole!
In 2010, we reviewed our methods of patching potholes. We found that there were better methods that would provide a longer-lasting patch, and have made those changes. This method takes more time when a pothole is fixed, but will last much longer than the method we have used in the past. In the long run, this will leave Seattle streets better off for a longer period of time. Our goal now is to repair potholes within three business days of receiving a report.

Frequently Asked Questions about Potholes
What you have been wanting to know but didn't know who to ask…
Why are there so many potholes in Seattle streets?
You can expect to see more potholes in the winter and spring, following periods of cold temperatures and rain or snow. Many streets, particularly in the outer areas of the city have a very poor underlying structure, or sub base, which reacts poorly to these conditions. The asphalt heaves upward as the water under the road and in small cracks freezes and expands.
It is helpful for the public to call SDOT and report potholes on streets within the city limits, via 684-ROAD (7623), so we can fill them quickly.
You filled a pothole, but a few days later, there it was again. Why don't your repairs last longer?
The material used to patch potholes doesn't stick as well to the surrounding pavement when it is cold or wet, so repairs made in the winter may not last as long as on dry, warm pavement. We can't wait for dry weather to fill potholes, however, because we must maintain safety. In late December and the beginning of January, asphalt plants are closed, and hot asphalt is not available. Instead, during these weeks, we use a "cold mix." Pothole repairs made under adverse conditions may not last as long, but the potholes still need to be filled for reasons of safety.
If the cause of the pothole is not corrected, such as water getting under the pavement, pothole patches may fail, or more potholes will continue to form. The long-term solution is to repave the street, and in some cases, to reconstruct the street from the ground up, and from curb to curb. Potholes are also temporary repairs. That said, some pothole repairs last longer than others.
SDOT says it fills potholes within three business days, but the pothole is still there. What's going on?
There are several reasons why we may not have made the repair you requested:
Weather conditions have created a backlog: There are seasonal variations in the amount of new potholes that are created. When there is a significant backlog, SDOT will put extra crews on the job of filling potholes until the backlog is gone.
Can't find the pothole: Sometimes we are given insufficient information or there may be a car parked over the pothole when we arrive, hiding it from view. If we have the name and telephone number of the person who reported the pothole, we call for a better description of the location.
Utility cuts: Some of the potholes reported are the responsibilities of other parties to fill. The agencies or private contractors who dig into the street to work on underground utilities must either repair the street pavement or pay SDOT to make the final, permanent repair. If the "utility cut" is not properly repaired, the area of the excavation can sink, leaving what can appear to be a pothole. When these are reported, we may require the utility to return and correct the paving. This may take longer than three business days.
Utility covers: When entrances to underground utilities become worn, the owners of the utility must repair cracked or damaged pavement around the rim.
Railroad Tracks: SDOT is not allowed to work within four feet of railroad tracks. This area must be repaired by the railroad. Repairs in the area we are responsible for within 25 feet of railroad tracks may take longer than 72 hours because we have to coordinate with the railroad.
Off to the side of the road: Sometimes a pothole forms off to the side of the roadway, especially when drainage is inadequate and the area is used for parking. These areas are usually the responsibility of the adjacent property owner to maintain. When a street is fully improved, these areas include a planting strip, sidewalk, and curb. An SDOT Street Use inspector can verify if the pothole is in the part of the right of way that is the responsibility of the property owner.
Can't be repaired as a pothole: Some defects that are reported as potholes are really some other kind of problem that can't be repaired as a pothole. Sometimes it is a rough or rutted surface of a road that needs to be repaved or totally rebuilt from the base to the surface. Other times it is a void or sink-hole, a crumbled street edge, or pavement with layers of asphalt that have become separated (delaminated), or a long fissure or crack. A few streets in Seattle are surfaced with a very thin layer of liquid asphalt (containing no aggregate) covering bricks or paving stones. Defects in these streets cannot be fixed as a pothole. While most defects can be repaired, it may take longer, and some processes, such as crack seal or chip sealing are only done in the summer. If there is a safety hazard, SDOT crews will set barricades around the problem area or they may close a lane.
How do I know if what I am reporting can be repaired as a pothole or not?
We don't expect everyone to be able to distinguish among pavement defects. We encourage you to report any type of pavement defect that is of concern to you, especially if it appears hazardous. If we can't make an immediate repair, we may be able to repair it later. If needed, we will block off the area to maintain safety.
Does SDOT fill potholes on residential streets?
SDOT fills potholes on paved residential streets. On streets that are not paved with concrete or asphalt, such as gravel roadways or streets with chip-sealed surfaces (emulsion embedded with crushed rock), repairs may need to wait until the street can be graded or resealed.
Does SDOT fill potholes in alleys?
Property owners are responsible for the alleys next to their property (find out more). SDOT fills potholes on alleys paved to City standards (typically concrete), but unimproved alleys (those not paved to City standards) are not considered part of the City's street system and are not maintained SDOT. Alley maintenance funds are scarce. If a paved alley is damaged to the extent that there is a safety or mobility problem, SDOT will make pothole patch repairs as possible. More extensive repairs are likely to be conducted by the abutting property owners.
Pothole Rangers fill potholes
SDOT has trucks, called hotboxes, dedicated to filling potholes. The teams that take these trucks out to repair Seattle streets are called the Pothole Rangers.
How many potholes are filled
The Pothole Rangers fill approximately 10,000 potholes each year. More than 5,000 pothole repair requests a year are submitted by the public.
Most potholes happen following periods of snow and ice or heavy rain. This table shows the number of potholes filled in recent months:
Rangers fill potholes within three business days
The goal is to fill potholes within three business days, starting the morning after they are reported to SDOT. This does not include pavement defects that cannot be repaired as potholes.
What causes a pothole?
Potholes occur when street pavement cracks and breaks because of water or traffic.
Water can get under the pavement through cracks or from the side of the road. Over time, the water can cause the material under the pavement to erode, causing the pavement to sink down and break. During the winter, the water under the pavement can freeze and expand, and then thaw and contract. This freeze/thaw cycle can cause the pavement to crack so that it deteriorates quickly under the weight of traffic, and then streets can seem to break out in potholes overnight.
Traffic that is too heavy for the pavement's design can result in cracks. Large volumes of traffic or heavy trucks and buses using a street not designed for this load can cause the pavement to crack and break apart.
The solution to potholes
The long-term solution to potholes is to repave or reconstruct the street. Potholes will not usually form on pavement that is in good condition, that keeps water out from under the pavement, and that is designed for the type of traffic that uses it.
Thanks to Bridging the Gap, SDOT has repaved 129 miles of arterial roadways in 2007-10, and will repave 24 more miles of road in 2011.

Heirs of Ben Hill Griffin sell shares in company
Published: Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 8:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 8:50 p.m.
FORT MYERS — The heirs of Florida citrus baron Ben Hill Griffin Jr., for whom the football stadium at the University of Florida is named, are giving up control of a company that remains one of the state's largest private landowners.
Alico owns nearly 131,000 acres of land spread across Alachua and four other Florida counties — Collier, Lee and Polk. The land in Collier, Lee and Polk is used for citrus groves, sugar cane and cattle ranching.
Two New York-based agricultural companies are spending $137.8 million to purchase shares of Alico Inc. now held by Griffin's heirs.
Not only is the football stadium at UF named Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field, Floyd Hall, one of the university's historic academic buildings, was restored due in part to Griffin's donations and was renamed Griffin-Floyd Hall upon its reopening in 1992.
Griffin founded Alico and helped turn the company into one of the state's most prominent companies.
The Griffin clan has included prominent Florida political figures, including Griffin's granddaughter Katherine Harris, who was secretary of state during the 2000 presidential election recount.
The deal announced Friday means that former state Sen. JD Alexander will be replaced as the company's chief executive. Alexander, who rose to the post of the Senate's budget committee chairman, was considered the driving force of the creation of the state's 12th university, Florida Polytechnic, in 2012.
Under the deal announced Friday, 734 Agriculture is partnering with Arlon Group to purchase nearly 51 percent of outstanding voting stock owned by Atlantic Blue Group at $37 a share. 734 Agriculture is a private investment company owned and controlled by Remy W. Trafelet and George R. Brokaw. Arlon Group is a global food and agriculture investment firm founded by Continental Grain Company.
Clay Wilson, a citrus grower who the buyers plan to appoint as chief executive, said the new owners intend to keep the company's agriculture operations intact.
"We believe that Alico provides a solid platform on which we can continue to build a thriving agribusiness operation," Wilson said in a statement. "Atlantic Blue Group's announced plan to sell its stake in the company presented a unique and compelling opportunity to make a significant investment in one of Florida's leading citrus producers and landowners."
Former state. Rep. Baxter Troutman — a board member of Atlantic Blue — said he expects the new owners to operate as good agricultural stewards.
"It's kind of bittersweet, but the end of an era can be the dawn of a new era," Troutman said. "Alico and its assets are deeply entwined in Florida citrus. I don't think there's any question about their expertise in the citrus industry and agriculture as a whole."
The sale was not unexpected. Atlantic Blue Group announced earlier this year that it was exploring the sale as a result of changes in the tax code.
Atlantic Blue was formed in 2004 after the settlement of a lawsuit between Ben Hill Griffin III, the citrus baron's only son, and the families of his four daughters: Sarah Alexander, Lucy Anne Collier, Harriet Harris and Francie Milligan. The estate's value was estimated at $300 million when Ben Hill Griffin Jr. died in 1990.

An "I" grade, or an incomplete grade that appears on your semester grade report indicates a substantial portion of the course work has been satisfactorily—but not entirely—completed as of the end of the semester. Instructors may, for example, award an I if you document a personal hardship or extenuating circumstances rendering you unable to complete the coursework according to the time limits established for the course.
In some cases, instructors may recommend or require that you attend another term of the course (or a portion thereof) to remove the incomplete grade. In this case, you will not re-enroll in the course, but must make arrangements with the original instructor and/or any new instructor to sit in on the course or portion of the course as required.
In some cases after receiving an I grade, you may choose to withdraw from the course, an action that requires both the instructor's signature and the department head's signature on a removal of incomplete grade form.
Any I or incomplete grade on your record at time of degree will be "frozen." This assumes the course was not needed to complete the degree. Frozen incompletes are not subject to the automatic conversion to F after one year and will remain as incomplete on your record.
In rare cases, at the end of the initial one year period, you may ask the instructor to extend the I grade for an additional fixed period of time. If the instructor agrees, he or she should submit a grade of IX on the removal of incomplete grade form. This action will block the automatic change to F after one year.
Removal of incomplete grade forms are available in the Office of Registrar Services. These forms are to be completed by faculty and/or department heads only.

Now I've found a tutorial which posts line by line from a .txt file; which worked perfectly. But now I'm trying to combine two random strings and I can't find the proper solution.
At the moment I have a code that randomly picks a part and prints it:
- Code: Select all
str_a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
from random import choice
print choice(str_a)p
But how would I combine str_a with a str_b?
Thanks in advance!

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Most sales and executive leadership programs are too general to provide opportunities for intensive, personalized work on self-development. Jonathan Farrington, chairman of the JF Corporation (jfcorporation.com), a sales coaching consultancy, says coaching, by contrast, enables individuals to gain insight into their own motives, interests and concerns. These link explicitly to the challenges they face in their leadership or management roles.
The growth of personal coaching
Farrington says forward-thinking organizations are looking for alternative ways to lead and manage staff. "The business world has experienced more upheaval in the past 10 years than in the previous 50: It's no accident that this period of unprecedented change has witnessed a boom in executive coaching."
A recent survey that polled HR professionals from Europe, America, Australia and Asia found that 88 percent of the respondents were planning to make more use of professional coaching. A little more than half of the respondents had introduced the practice in the past 18 months.
Coaching vs. traditional development programs
People may learn a great deal in personal development courses, but when they return to the workplace, they often have difficulty integrating what they have learned into their day-to-day duties, Farrington says. Quite often, what they may have learned simply slips from their minds.
He adds that between 50 and 70 percent of an organization's climate, and hence its effectiveness, can be traced to management style.
"Effective leaders create a favorable working environment that boosts performance. This is where coaching comes into its own. Leadership is a set of skills, competencies and attitudes that individuals can develop through practice and by reflecting on their own actions and the impact this can have on others," he says.
Coaching can also help executives acquire a greater awareness of their own leadership style. This is crucial if they are to develop the variety of styles needed to manage and lead in different situations. All too often, leaders rely on a command-and-control style, which has a negative impact on all but a crisis.
Coaching people on leadership styles produces positive results in most situations by creating a supportive environment in which employees feel empowered to give their best and find the solutions to problems.
Coaching: not just a remedial solution
"Not unnaturally, some diehards still hold with an old-fashioned view that coaching can be used only for remedial purposes, but those organizations that have embraced the concept fully have discarded that way of thinking," says Farrington. "Their approach concentrates on leadership and personal development as part of building a high-performance organization - they are committed to moving away from managing by a culture of process to managing as leaders."
He says his clients are not interested in adopting the style of coaching used by many companies to focus on simple issues - particularly how to get along with fellow team members. "They choose us because they believe we offer a more challenging style that digs more deeply into behavior and personality. This leaves executives with something more permanent that they can take away from the coaching sessions and use during the rest of their careers, rather than just as a one-time solution."
It is not always easy to convince executives that they should submit to a scrutiny of their personalities and behavior, but in reality, those executives who balk at taking "the journey of self development" could soon find themselves isolated and lesser leaders than many of their contemporaries.
5 Coaching blunders to avoid
Transforming your sales managers from good to great coaches can have a dramatic impact on sales. Steven Rosen, founder of STAR Results (starresults.com), a sales leadership coaching organization, warns sales managers to beware these five common coaching blunders:
› Blunder #1 – Telling vs. asking coaching
Sales managers see themselves as problem-solvers. One of the critical areas for developing top salespeople is the ability to self manage. Telling reps how to solve their issues doesn't create self-managing salespeople. Be aware of when you are in "tell" mode and remind yourself, when you have fallen into a bad habit.
› Blunder #2 – I'll-get-to-it coaching
Many managers tackle busy work first. It feels good when you are up to date on e-mails and stress is reduced when you have all your reports in on time. But those activities don't contribute to the bottom line. If great sales coaching can have a direct impact of up to 19 percent more sales, why is coaching not the No. 1 priority? Get out in the field and make coaching your top priority. Your boss will thank you and your reps will make lots of money.
› Blunder #3 – Laundry list coaching
Great coaching is about focus. Helping a sales rep improve in one area of the job can have a major impact on performance. Managers who create laundry lists of areas for development will have little success. It's too difficult for sales reps to make wholesale changes in how they sell. Development is about improving one or two things. Once the salesperson has demonstrated that they have acquired the skill or behavior, then you can move on to the next area.
› Blunder #4 – One-size-fits-all coaching
How many times have you witnessed a sales rep working on autopilot, making the same sales pitch to each customer and delivering the message in the same way. If your feedback to each rep is the same, you have fallen into the rut of one-size-fits-all coaching. Coaching differs from training. Training is about having everyone learn the same information or skills. Coaching, on the other hand, is about diagnosing each rep's particular area for improvement. It is about adapting your coaching style to the individual and about developing individualized development plans.
› Blunder #5 – Way-to-go coaching
Many managers fail to get a commitment to change. They do a great job coaching by asking all the right questions and come to agreement on areas for development, but forget to get buy-in on how the problem will be fixed. It's critical to have the rep buy into what steps he will take to develop. This requires a simple three- or four-point plan that includes what the sales rep will do between coaching sessions. One key is to have reps develop their own next steps and your role becomes one of holding them accountable. Without this in place the odds are that there will be no change in rep behavior or skills by the next coaching session.

HOUSTON - You don't even have to eat out to have an interest in this week's Restaurant Report Card. That's because health inspectors checked out the deli at a local grocery store, and what they found just might make you lose your appetite.
Our first stop this week is Hunan King in the 5700 block of Chimney Rock, where health inspectors said they saw roaches in all areas of the premises.
Employee Ray Jiang told Davis there was only one roach.
"Why would they write that if there was only one?" Davis asked him.
"Nothing I can do," Jiang replied as he shrugged his shoulders.
Jiang said he called an exterminator and got the hot water heater repaired so he could reopen the next day.
Inspectors said they saw three live roaches in the gap of the chicken display and floor at the Kroger on 11th Street and Shepherd Drive in the Heights.
A Kroger representative sent us the following statement:
"Safety and sanitation is of the utmost importance for our customers and associates. This is a rare incident isolated to one location that was immediately corrected. The area of sighting was located on the floor in a corner behind a refrigerated case. All stores are inspected bi-monthly by an independent sanitation agency and treated accordingly."
Before the Texans took on the Colts, inspectors asked Aramark employees at Reliant Stadium to clean up dead insects and carcasses in the level five kitchen of the stadium. They also destroyed some 60 pounds of beef and shrimp that was too hot in a walk-in cooler.
Craving a doughnut? At Southern Maid Donuts in the 6400 block of Richmond, inspectors said employees need to keep the floor clean, especially since the floor is where they left a bucket of icing for breakfast pastries.
The floors are spotless at Ginza Japanese Restaurant in the 5800 block of San Felipe. Also earning top grades this week for perfect inspections: Jamba Juice in the 12000 block of Queensbury and Domino's Pizza in the 4300 block of Kingwood Drive.

I have read several BBQ forums searching and reading the posts for my ideal BBQ setup on a budget. I have a Weber Grill 22 1/2" now. I am looking for something bigger and better to advance in the BBQ realm.
Here are the specs. I am looking for:
Smoker/Grill..... Something where you can do both smoke and grill, such as the barrel smokers with the side firebox with grill in firebox for direct grilling. It does not have to neccissarily have to have a side fire box, but need to be able use wood logs. I do not need anything too extreme but I would like to have at least 1/4" steel. I have been looking at the CharGriller Smokin' Pro, but It does not have 1/4" steel. It is thinner. But I think it best fits my needs so far and is a good price at just under $200.
My budget is $400 or less.
Can you all give me some ideas of other brands that would meet my needs?

CARACAS: A senior Syrian diplomat visited Venezuela on Tuesday bringing a message to the President, Hugo Chavez, from his ally, the Syrian leader, Bashar al-Assad.
The Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister, Faisal Al Mokdad, did not give details about Mr Assad's message to Mr Chavez, saying only that it deals with relations between the two leaders.
Venezuelan officials have previously acknowledged the state oil company has sent three shipments of diesel fuel to aid Syria.
Asked if Syria wants more fuel from Venezuela, the diplomat did not respond, saying through an interpreter: ''Relations between Venezuela and Syria are very advanced, and we're showing our thanks … for the support offered economically and politically.''
The top US aid official said on Tuesday that Syria faced a humanitarian emergency and international plans to support millions of destitute civilians had fallen short.
The administrator of the US Agency for International Development, Rajiv Shah, said that at least 1 million Syrians, forced from their homes by the national uprising and government bombing, would not have food and other vital basic support, and the number could be double that or more.
''The situation is now an emergency,'' Mr Shah said during a conference call after visiting a refugee camp just inside Turkey's border with Syria.
''Nearly 2.5 million people displaced from their homes require immediate support,'' Mr Shah said. But ''global aid efforts are now reaching only 1.5 million''.
Simultaneous bombings in the town of Jaramana near Damascus killed at least 38 people and left dozens injured, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Wednesday.
The state news agency SANA said that ''terrorists'' had blown up two car bombs in the main square of the town. It was the fourth bomb attack on Jaramana since August 28.
Earlier, at least 18 people were killed when Syrian government warplanes struck an olive press factory on the outskirts of Idlib city, opposition activists said.
The building was hit by more than five rockets in an attack on Tuesday morning that also left 23 injured, said an opposition activist, Ahmad Aassi, in Idlib. Those killed were farmers, he said.

S.L.E. Lupus Foundation Thanks Volunteers at Recognition Luncheons
S.L.E. Lupus Foundation Thanks Volunteers at Recognition Luncheons
The S.L.E. Lupus Foundation recently held three Volunteer Recognition luncheons at our offices in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx to express our appreciation for our volunteers' ongoing service and support. Our staff recognized more than 30 volunteers at these luncheons for the many ways they help the organization.
"The volunteers extend our ability to reach out into the community to raise awareness of lupus," said Diane Gross, National Director of Program Development at the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation. "And when they talk, people listen in a special way because only patients can convey what it is really like to live with lupus."
Extra Arms and Legs with Extra Heart
Our volunteers provide extra arms and legs in many areas of our work, staffing health fairs, assisting in office work, as well as providing information to lupus patients and their families by sharing their personal story for media and other interviews.
Volunteer Salina commented, "Lupus caught me by surprise in a life threatening way. I like volunteering so I can educate others about lupus so it won't catch them by surprise as it did me! I love to do things with my heart, not for the recognition. But I put a lot of long hours into my volunteering, and it is rewarding to be recognized for that."
"These volunteers bring a level of enthusiasm that no one who doesn't live with the disease could share," said Jessica Rowshandel, MSW, Director of Social Services. "People see a lupus patient who's out there helping others, and they see hope for themselves."
But as grateful as we are to the volunteers, many of them expressed appreciation for the help they receive by helping the organization help others. "S.L.E. Lupus Foundation has been very supportive to me and my family over the years – I feel like I want to give something back," says Kim. Another volunteer, Barbara, said, "I don't know why you're thanking us because we should be thanking you for the opportunity to get out to talk to others with lupus or who think they might have lupus."
"We couldn't do our job adequately without our volunteers. Their experiences and understanding of living with lupus is crucial to increasing awareness and engaging others in our programs, and they inspire us," said Ms. Gross.
Get into the Loop™ and Join Us
We always welcome new members to volunteer their service or contribute their own story of living with lupus. You can help out with phone calls and mailings, working in our offices in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx or from your home. Come out and help cheer our Team Life Without Lupus at the New York Marathon Sunday morning, November 3. Talk to us about manning a booth at a health fair or invite us to speak at a group you are involved with.

Well, yesterday we debuted our new Twitter widget with the Rangers' players who tweet. It was pretty popular immediately, and I think it will be wildly so once they start playing hockey again.
And I'm sure they will recognize that y'all are on to their tweets because of this site eventually.
Like when Brad Richards starts getting hits on his web site (bradrichardshockey.com) from you guys. Richards tweeted last night for people to get involved in his charitable endeavors in PEI … and those endeavors are pretty cool. He'll fit right in with the Rangers in terms of his work with kids and children's hospitals. Good for him.
If you come across any other Rangers who tweet, please let me know and we'll add them to the widget.
Watched some of the baseball all-star game last night (after spending part of the day discussing Horace Clarke, for God's sake). Quick thoughts:
A) Baseball is still the best all-star game because they play both sides of the ball as if it's a real game, whereas hockey, football and basketball's all-star events are complete jackwagon, no-defense, no-intensity affairs. Baseball's game ain't perfect, but it is baseball.
B) The two rosters, made up of like 73 players or something, were pretty motley compared to all-star games of the past. Lot of middling stars, in my opinion.
C) Fox botched the telecast, as usual. What's up with this clown Eric Karros? And why bother miking up the bases and players if the announcers are going to talk while we're trying to eavesdrop? And it remains idiotic that home-field advantage in the World Series is decided by this exhibition, the biggest example of a TV network wagging a major sports league.
D) A lot of baseball players are in worse shape than me.

Homewood Park Hotel & Spa, Bath
- Abbey Lane, Freshford, Bath, UK, BA2 7TB (view map)
- 01225 809 446
- http://www.homewoodpark.co.uk
Award Winning Luxury Hotel In Bath
Although it was the private residence of the Davies Family for generations, Homewood Park has been run as a hotel for over twenty-five years. During this time, this hotel in Bath has received many accolades and much praise for the service and facilities that we offer. The gardens, under the supervision of Steven Hargreaves, were awarded 1st Prize in the actively contested 'Bath in Bloom' competition 1998, 1999, 2000, 2005, 2006, 2007, and again in 2012 for "Gardens maintained by professional gardeners", creating an attractive and peaceful environment for the Hotel and Restaurant.
Although the main part of the building is Georgian, with some Victorian additions, the foundations of the original building date from the thirteenth century, when we believe the house belonged to the Abbot of the nearby Carthusian Priory. The Priory may be seen in the direction of Hinton Charterhouse village, across the A36, but unfortunately it is not open to the public.
Today, Homewood Park stands as a fine and welcoming country house and one of the leading hotels in Bath and the West Country. Surrounded by 10 acres of award-winning gardens and woodlands the hotel is only 6 miles from the centre of the Georgian City of Bath and 20 miles from Bristol. Conveniently located just off the A36 the extensive grounds offer ample parking for our guests.

Single on Valentine's Day? 3 Ways to Celebrate Flying Solo
Who says Valentine's Day is just for couples?
-The Bettys
Valentine's Day. Love it or hate it, it comes every year. If you're without a significant other this February, you can choose to let the day suck … or you can choose to make it rock. Ellie Scarborough, the former NBC reporter who started pinkkisses.com in 2010 to give women an online community to help them bounce back after a breakup, shared with us her three ideas for warping the annual schmoopfest into something fun:
1. Indulge in being single.
Being a party of one has plenty of benefits. What better day than February 14 to indulge in every last one of them? Do each of the following things without apology:
-Make a playlist of the most obnoxiously delightful, super girly music you own, and enjoy every last note at top volume.
-Spend an hour taking a bubble bath, just because you can.
-Talk with a girlfriend for as long as you want.
-Chill out in your favorite pajamas all night.
-Splurge on a new fragrance, your favorite chocolates, or a delectable spa treatment.
-Buy your own flowers.
You're in charge of your own happiness, so do whatever makes you smile, and do it exactly the way you wish.
2. Create a grand adventure.
Instead of sitting around feeling left out, or braving Valentine's dinner out with a girlfriend, why not check something off your wish list? Whether it's checking out the new coffee shop across town or going on a road trip across the country, starting a new book or doing a technology cleanse for the day, now is your chance. Who says you can't celebrate Valentine's Day as a single girl? Take the day to fall a bit more in love with yourself and your incredible little life.
3. Celebrate your freedom with friends.
You're probably not the only one of your friends going stag this time of year. This is actually a great time to be a support system for someone else who's having a rough go at being unattached, separated or newly divorced. Get together and create a night to remember that has nothing to do with the hype. Host a wig party, cook dinner together, go bowling, see a horror movie or dance the night away to cheesy '80s music. In short, take back the night, have a blast doing it, and help a pal out in the process.
Tell us: Are you single this Valentine's Day? How do you plan to celebrate?

John Keith Laumer (June 9, 1925–January 23, 1993) was an American science fiction author. Prior to becoming a full time writer, he was an officer in the U.S. Air Force and a U.S. diplomat. His brother March Laumer was also a writer, known for his adult reinterpretations of the Land of Oz (also mentioned in Keith's The Other Side of Time).

Laumer's "A Plague of Demons" and several other of his works are available in Baen's free library: http://www.baenebooks.com/s-70-keith-laumer.aspx?CategoryFilterID=1&ManufacturerFilterID=0&
I have to agree with Michael, "A Plague of Demons" is outstanding. The technology suggested in this book has made its way into many other books and some into reality.

Students earn scholarships by exploring computers at an Indiana conference
March 2nd, 2012 | SMWC
Inspired by their passion for discovery and technology, ten students from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) uncovered a gold mine of information at the Indiana Celebration of Women in Computing (InWIC) conference in Spencer, Ind., on Feb. 10-11, 2012. InWIC, offered to undergraduate and graduate students developing their skills in computer-related fields, is a more targeted version of the national Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference.
"Women are underrepresented in technology so it is often difficult to find female role models and mentors," said Lana Lytle, associate professor of information systems at SMWC. "This Indiana conference lets our students connect with other STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] students, faculty and business managers in the state."
Students participated in lightening talks, keynote addresses, seminars about cutting-edge technology and poster contests. Two SMWC students, Samantha Morrison, majoring in computer information systems, and Diana Hernandez, majoring in business administration, caught the judges' eyes during the non-research poster competition. The duo earned first place for their poster chronicling the College's newest technology club, S.A.I.N.T.
Morrison, president of the club, said the award, including a monetary prize, was an unexpected success that added to the excitement of the conference. The S.A.I.N.T. club, which stands for students actively investigating new technology, recently received a $500 seed grand from the National Center for Women in Information Technology. Open to students of all majors, this club allows women to probe technology through activities, workshops and conferences.
"SMWC prepares students for a life immersed in technology," said Janet Clark, Ph.D., SMWC's vice president for academic affairs. "It affects how we perform our jobs, live our daily lives and it continues to rapidly change. We are committed to equipping our students with the skills to not only utilize technology, but to think creatively about new applications within their discipline or career. Experiences such as the S.A.I.N.T. club foster those interactions."
During the two-day conference, the students stayed overnight at the Canyon Inn in McCormick's Creek State Park. They engaged with other students interested in computer fields, met experts with innovative ideas and caught a glimpse of their future during the conference's career fair. Eight SMWC students won scholarships from Microsoft and the Anita Borg Institute for participating in the poster contests and lightening talks, including:
- Anna Bailey, freshman, humanities, from Caledonia, Mich.
- Shelby Becker, senior, biology and humanities, from Indianapolis, Ind.
- Rosemary Suzette Corrie, junior, business administration, from Greencastle, Ind.
- Diana Hernandez, senior, business administration, from Frankfurt, Ind.
- Carly Hollings, freshman, equine training/instruction and CIS, from Fishers, Ind.
- Samantha Morrison, sophomore, CIS, Indianapolis, Ind.
- Josephine Nieto, freshman, CIS, from Fort Wayne, Ind.
- Katherine Williams, senior, CIS and digital media, from Rome, Ind.
While these students gained monetary rewards for their participation, the value of this experience goes much deeper than a bank account. "The positive and friendly mood of the conference can truly excite even the youngest student about a career in technology," Lytle explained. "The 'we can do it' attitude energizes me every time I attend and gives our students an empowering experience."

VENUS WILLIAMS has a theory. Of course, it has something to do with fashion. ''You have to update. Don't be late. That's one of my mottos,'' said the other sister, talking about a planned revamp of this year's Miami tournament when, really, she could have been referring to her own career. It is almost 20 years since a teenage Venus played her first match on tour. A lot can change in 20 years. ''You don't want to keep wearing the mullet,'' she said, ''when it's not the '80s any more.''
Williams can barely remember the 14-year-old girl with beads in her hair, who won her first match then took a set from world No.2 Arantxa Sanchez Vicario before putting her racquet away and finishing off the school year. So much has happened since: another win, a lot more wins, seven grand slam titles.
Injuries and illness, the latter an auto-immune disease called Sjogren's syndrome that she found out had been sapping her of energy for five years before it was diagnosed. It was what kept her from Melbourne last year.
''I didn't even know what I was doing,'' she said of her teenage self. ''I just thought I had a dream, and thought I could do it.''
Williams was back in the moment on Monday. It took just over an hour for her to push past Galina Voskoboeva and win 6-1, 6-0, not wanting to be on court for a second longer than she needed to be. ''Obviously a win is a win no matter what,'' she said. ''But it's nice when it's more routine.''
She looked strong, fast and powerful, all the things she used to be and reminded herself of the fact during an off season spent trying to ''run, hit balls and get to the gym'', not allowing herself to think about what her illness had taken from her.
She did not look like a lowly No.25 seed. One more win will likely earn her a third-round clash with Maria Sharapova. The second seed didn't drop a single game to Olga Puchkova, and it was a trouble-free day for the seeds, with Agnieszka Radwanska (4), former winner Li Na (6), Sam Stosur (9), Julia Gorges (18), Ekaterina Makarova (19), Jelena Jankovic (22), Klara Zakopalova (23) and Sorana Cirstea (27) to play another day.
Sharapova's win means she has now notched ''double bagel'' wins at all four of the grand slam tournaments. ''I don't think that's very relative to anything,'' the Russian said. ''It's tough to feel completely satisfied … But overall I was happy with the way I started, considering I didn't play any matches coming in.''
Sharapova wasn't willing to look past her second-round match, and nor was Williams, although she was in a more reflective mood. Being sick had not made her a more patient person, she said, although she had learnt to think about the things she could accomplish, not the things she couldn't. ''I felt like I had a great year,'' she said. ''I moved up a lot of spots. I qualified for the Olympics. I won a doubles major and Olympic gold. Gold, gold, gold baby.''
That medal, won with sister Serena, is hidden ''in a sack'' these days, so that should Venus ''become a statistic and lose all my money'' she can melt the gold off the top and get by. ''When you're a young person you just don't think it's ever going to end,'' she said. ''Now … I try and take the best I can of it. When it's over I will be out, and hopefully I won't run out of money and have to commentate.''

hello tyger86,
i won't bag on you for not searching first, as you obviously did so. search refinement though, is a very good subject to always be improving upon, for any of us. it's a key fundamental for anyone in *any* IT position.
"Edit the /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf using nano or kate and add the line: Option "MaxTapTime" "0" to first the first section"
is what you would have found using a more specific search string. you should not be spending hours at a time over something so apparently simple. ever. we are not making heart valves, nor are we reinventing the wheel. if you run into a problem, chances are 99% someone has already encountered it and a fix/workaround has been published.
being your first post here, welcome to the grinder you're going to love it.

Roland Mouret Resort 2013
When Roland Mouret—whose father served in the French army—looks to uniforms as his starting point for resort, you could be forgiven for expecting his impulse to skew military surplus (particularly when his fall collection sprang from thoughts of postwar France). But while there were gentle nods to the conscripted life in a charcoal dress-like trench with a contrasting bright, white collar amongst the designer's better-known body-skimming regalia, overall this collection played with a more subtly utilitarian way to dress.
Mouret has a habit for turning the inner workings of his construction into decorative devices. And here, saffron viscose sheaths and floor-sweeping fuchsia evening dresses in puckered silk saw darts purposefully jut from waists and hips to origami-like effect (Mouret offers nothing more than that, or a skinny perforated belt for embellishment). But while there were a clutch of 1940s-feel dresses (sheaths with lightly undulating hems and fuller skirted Iris print frocks) which followed on from fall's modified New Look silhouette, Mouret also took this opportunity to revisit his early draping style. Velvet ribbons running down the inside of several cocktail dresses, worked like inner scaffolding to keep swaths of unruly folded silk in place.
There was a notably slouchier silhouette at work in softly rippling silk fuchsia sweatpants and voluminous shirts (which doubled as jackets over tanks). No doubt, with this minimal but colorful approach to practical city dressing, Mouret's devotees will be signing right up.
