The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Westboro attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

For the good of all, Radel should resign
"I'm sorry, I have no excuse for what I've done, and I'm not going to try to make any excuses for what I've done… I've let down our country. I've let down our constituents.
I've let down my family, including my wife and, even though he doesn't know it, I've let down my 2-year-old son."
– Congressman Trey Radel
Southwest Florida Congressman Trey Radel returned home Wednesday, calling a late-night press conference at his Cape Coral office.
In the wake of his guilty plea to cocaine possession entered Wednesday in Washington D.C., Congressman Radel apologized for letting supporters and family down and announced that he would be taking a leave of absence to enter a treatment center for substance abuse.
He previously issued a statement saying he suffers from alcoholism and that illness led to "an extremely irresponsible choice" that he regrets.
We will not question the sincerity of his remorse.
We, in fact, believe it is heartfelt and offered from the depths of pain for his wife and child.
We will not enter the fray of public life versus private choices, nor will we debate the issues of illness and the right to treatment, or forgiveness and second chances.
These things are not the immediate matter at hand for the residents of District 19 who are entitled to nothing less than the representation and leadership they were promised by the man they elected and who was sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives just 10 short months ago.
Unfortunately, despite his assurances to the contrary, proper representation and the ability to serve in the leadership role required to be effective in office are not things that Congressman Radel can offer his constituents right now.
Nor is there any certainty that he can provide them in the near future.
House terms are two-year stints, with the District 19 seat up next year. Not only does the congressman face treatment for an illness severe enough, in his own words, to bring him to "rock bottom," he faces the near impossible task of immediately re-establishing credibility among his congressional peers. We in Lee and Collier counties do not deserve a "placeholder," whose ability to serve is limited to voting the party line rather than effectively bringing local issues and concerns forward on our behalf. We deserve a leader, something Congressman Radel promised us he would be.
Put in a financial perspective -something Congressman Radel, a fiscal conservative, should appreciate – the position he holds pays $174,000 per year. Southwest Florida deserves nothing less than maximum benefit for that buck. That means the residents, the issues, and job are priority No. 1.
Right now they are not.
And sadly, we are not convinced that, given the circumstances, they can be.
Not now.
Not next year.
It is with great sadness that we urge Congressman Radel to resign.
For the good of his health.
For the good of his family.
For the good of the community he says he loves.
-? Eagle editorial
Editor's Note: As of press time, Congressman Radel had checked into a treatment facility. He had not made any announcement indicating plans to resign. If he has since made that decision, The Eagle thanks him.

England's best academy chains are raising standards for their poorest pupils and outperforming other state schools, but the weakest are lagging far behind, research suggests.
It concludes that there is "enormous variation" between chains, and the results and improvement of their disadvantaged pupils.
The research, commissioned by the Sutton Trust, analysed school performance figures to look at what disadvantaged pupils attending schools in an academy chain achieve based on five different measures.
These are: proportion of pupils getting at least five C grades at GCSE - including English and maths; expected progress in English; expected progress in maths; the proportion achieving the English Baccalaureate and average GCSE points score.
In total, 31 chains were included, all with three or more academies.
The findings show that across the five measures, between 2011 and 2013, disadvantaged students at academies in 18 of the 31 chains improved faster than the national average.
Overall, in this two year period, the proportion of poorer teenagers nationally - at all mainstream schools - that scored at least five C grades, including the basics, rose by 4.2 percentage points.
The report shows that in 16 of the chains examined poorer pupils' improvement on this measure alone was greater than this national average.
It goes on to say that five chains improved significantly more than this 4.2 percentage point national average. They are - Barnfield Education Partership, the City of London Corporation, the David Ross Education Trust, the Diocese of Salisbury and Leigh Academies Trust.
The study also found that based on last year's GCSE results, poorer pupils educated by nine academy chains achieved higher grades than the average for all mainstream schools.
Researchers went on to look at the proportion, and improvement in disadvantaged pupils gaining the English Baccalaureate (Ebacc).
The Ebacc is a performance measure that recognises pupils who score at least a C at GCSE in English, maths, science, a foreign language and history or geography.
In total, 8.3% of poorer teenagers in the 31 chains analysed achieved the Ebacc, compared to 10.2% of pupils in all mainstream schools.
On this measure, seven chains saw a faster improvement in results between 2011 and 2013 than the national average.
One of the authors, Professor Becky Francis, of King's College London, said: "Some chains are securing excellent results for their disadvantaged pupils across a whole range of measures, showing what can be achieved her by experienced chains with a planned approach to growth.
"Their work should be recognised and applauded. But others are doing badly on important measures, and risk becoming part of the problem rather than the solution for their disadvantaged pupils. The government needs to increase transparency and scrutiny of academy chains."
The report comes amid calls by Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw for the schools watchdog to be given explicit powers to inspect academy chains, in the same way that they can inspect local council children's services.
In recent months, Ofsted has attempted to overcome the issue by publishing findings of inspections at a number of academies run by two different academy chains, where there had been concerns about performance.
Just last week, the inspectorate warned that an''overwhelming'' proportion of pupils attending some of the Kemnal Academies Trust (TKAT) schools are not getting a decent education.
In a highly critical letter to the trust, the watchdog said that while the trust was getting better at supporting its schools, in many cases this had come too late.
TKAT said it was ''committed to educational excellence'' and is working with its schools to make changes.
Inspectors visited six TKAT primary academies over a two-week period amid wider concerns that standards in the Trust's schools were not up to scratch.
And earlier this year, Ofsted sent a similar letter to the E-ACT Trust - one of England's biggest academy chains, warning that it had failed to take effective action to improve standards in many of its schools.
E-ACT said it has been making changes for over a year and introducing reforms under new leadership.
A Department for Education spokesman said: "We welcome the Sutton Trust's report which underlines the hugely valuable work being done by academy chains across the country to improve the lives of thousands of disadvantaged pupils.
"The excellence of established chains such as Ark and Harris, along with outstanding newer trusts such as the Gorse Academies Trust, Reach2 and Outwood Grange Academies Trust have turned around schools that had failed children for years when in local authority control. They have been able to give their heads and teachers the freedom they need to instigate real improvement."

Course handbook
The course provides an introduction to the study of children and families within a social and political context. The course encourages a critical perspective by examining debates about the historical and sociocultural constructions of childhood in relation to families. The diversity of family forms in contemporary Australia will be examined in the context of class, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity. There will be a particular focus on how those constructions impact upon young children and how young children understand them. An analysis of the role of the family in liberal democracy and the policing of families will form the foundation for a critical understanding of current policy debates.

Morgan Stanley Meets With Apple's CFO, Comes Away More Confident Of A Low-Cost iPhone (AAPL)
Stop us if you've heard this one before: A Wall Street analyst meets with Apple's management, and comes away more confident about Apple making a cheaper iPhone.
Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty met with CFO Peter Oppenheimer. After her meeting, she wrote:
We also see several signs that a lower priced iPhone makes sense: 1) iPad Mini is expanding Apple's customer base with 50% of purchases in China/Brazil representing new customers to the ecosystem. 2) Chinese consumers show a desire to purchase the latest version of iPhone (instead of discounted older generations). 3) iPhone 4 demand surprised to the upside in the December quarter. Even at a low 40% gross margin and 1/3 cannibalization rate, we see an "iPhone Mini" as incremental to revenue and gross profit dollars.
This is a fairly consistent theme from analysts meeting with Apple's management.
Two years ago, then COO Tim Cook told Bernstein's analyst Apple is doing "clever things" to attack the prepaid market, because he wanted Apple to be "for everyone," not "just for the rich."
Since then, Apple has dropped the price of older models of the iPhone. This has helped it sell in developing markets, but it hasn't done enough to hold off the rise of Android and Samsung.
There is a lot of chatter that Apple is finally, really, going to release a less-expensive iPhone that can compete in developing markets that are all pre-paid this year. Who knows. Maybe it will really happen!

Everyone likes free stuff right? Well Ben from BagoGames has noted 3 must-downloads from the PSN store that cost diddly squat. Sweet.
I see you've posted an article, looking for views. Not good, friend.
We all know about these. It's pretty much common knowledge.
He didn't even mention Dust 514 open beta which is awesome
Dont forget the free PSM games :D of course this applies to vita owners though.
One thing i didnt like on the PSN that said it was free but was more like a timed demo/trial was Zen Pinball on the Vita. It said it's "free" but you actually have to buy a pack to keep playing. I wish i could report it.

Nicks McNuggets
Interviewing fellow musicians on Bio Channel's must-see "The Chris Isaak Hour," the singer-songwriter revealed another exceptional skill. His chats with such artists as Stevie Nicks, Cat Stevens, Smashing Pumpkins, Glen Campbell and Chicago unearth fresh insights into each performer.
"They can tell that I really love music and respect what they do," Isaak said. "We made a point of going a little farther than the usual 'Who are you dating?' and 'When is your new album out?' questions.
"The one thing all my guests had in common beside amazing talent was that they all overcame obstacles to get to the top and make their music. You think of Stevie Nicks as just being born a gorgeous rock star with a platinum record. But she was somebody's hotel maid at one point."
Dudek's solo work yielded a couple of FM radio hits, "City Magic" and "Old Judge Jones." But problems bogged down his career.
Columbia teamed Dudek with label mates Mike Finnigan and Jim Krueger for a "DFK" tour, then an album. Then Cher asked Dudek to play on her "Black Rose" album.
"It was a pretty decent rock 'n' roll album," he said. "But Neil Bogart, owner of the record company, Casablanca, died right after we put it out. That sealed its fate. The push behind it stopped. Cher swept it under the rug after that."
Dudek lived with Cher for three years. "We were in the shower one day and she says, 'What do you think we're doing together, Les?' I said, 'We're just two lonely people hanging out with each other until something better comes along.' She goes, 'Good answer!'"
After they split up, Cher helped him land a role in "Mask."
Other opportunities popped up, but the timing was never right. "Anytime a guitar player dies, they call me. When the guy from Chicago blew his head off, who gets the call? Les Dudek. When Lowell George died, who got the call? Yeah, I could have been in Little Feat, too.
"It would have been really neat playing for Chicago, though I hear it's kind of a boring gig. But Little Feat, that would have been fun."
In 1988, during another lull, Dudek contemplated becoming a sheriff. "Then I got yanked back into the business by John Kay of Steppenwolf. He wanted me to go on tour with him, which ended up being a big fiasco.
"There were times when I just felt like, 'To hell with it.' But something always pulled me back. Stevie Nicks pulled me back in. I ended up writing some songs with her. I did a tour with her in '91. That was short-lived. I broke my arm. I was riding a Harley between rehearsals and a cab pulled out in front of me."
Over the next six years, Dudek released four solo albums, scoring radio hits with City Magic and Old Judge Jones. There was a 20-year hiatus between Dudeks 1981s Gypsy Ride and the 2001 album Deeper Shades of Blues.
Cher asked Dudek to participate on a recording project, which would become the Black Rose album. In 1984, he appeared with the singer and wrote a few songs for the movie Mask.
Dudek teamed up with Stevie Nicks for two songs, Sister Honey and Freestyle, the title track to his 2003 CD.
I really don't like the way all the stories I've been reading for so long are ending these days.
This is an excerpt from the St. Louis Jewish Light article about an upcoming Sidewalk Sale:
Years ago I bought a dress at a benefit sale that I was told once belonged to Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks. I never knew if this was true, but every time I wore the dress I felt like a rock star and found myself inexplicably humming "Rhiannon."
I mention this because on Thursday, Aug. 27, from 10 a.m. to noon, the "Best Dressed Sidewalk Sale" will take place at Valerie Mills Boutique, 131 Carondelet Plaza, in Clayton. All proceeds from the sale as well as 10 percent of purchases that day of Valerie Mills merchandise will benefit the Legal Advocates of Abused Women.
Stevie Nicks: I love Britney
Sunday, August 23, 2009
Stevie Nicks an American singer-songwriter, best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac, said some pretty nice things about Britney.
The 61yr old artist says, Britney Spears has her full support.
"I love Britney and I want the best for her," Nicks said. "She has got her life back and she has two boys who need her.
"But Britney has her body back, her beauty back and, hopefully, she will get her power back."
Awe, that was so nice of her.
Sunday - I met up with a high school buddy of mine in Burbank, and we went to a cool little restaurant/bar called Fiamme (in Thousand Oaks) to see Jana Anderson and Sharon Celani perform. These two women are backup singers for Stevie Nicks, and they were nice enough to chat with us after the show and take a couple of pictures.
Grab a Stetson and your autograph pad: The AZ Music & Entertainment Hall Of Fame is holding a benefit concert on September 6 at Handlebar J in Scottsdale, a great little honky-tonky type bar just north Shea and Scottsdale Roads.
Heard of the institution we lovingly know by it's overly-complex acronym, AZM&EHOF? Turns out it's inducted legends like Alice Cooper, Glen Campbell, Steven Spielberg, Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt, Waylon Jennings, and Buck Owens, all of which spent at least some time in our state.
They're not planning another induction until fall 2010 (when, with any luck, someone else in Arizona will get appropriately famous -- otherwise it's you, Shawn Michaels) but in the meantime they're hoping to raise some cash with a concert featuring inductees like Jerry Riopelle, Jessi Colter, The Herndon Brothers, and about a dozen other acts. Doors open at 4 p.m. Show starts at 5 p.m. Suggested donation is $20.
Megan Joy Is Sparking Filmmakers Interest
Though she made her mark on the worlds most-watched singing competition, American Idols Megan Joy may not be headed for the recording studio, but rather the silver screen.
The sultry, single mom with the sexy voice caught everyones attention during Idols eighth season. Immediately after her departure from the show, the internet was ablaze with the rumor that Fleetwood Macs Stevie Nicks had noticed Megan and wanted to anoint her to play her part in an upcoming biopic about the supergroup. (Nicks, the week before, made her thoughts crystal clear on Lindsay Lohans interest in the role. Over my dead body, the one-time queen of rock said of Lohans possible involvement.)
Stevie Nicks, though, isnt the only one who has noticed Megan Joy. From what Ive seen, Megan doesnt have a bad angle, says Phoenix, Arizona indie filmmaker Jane Bell. Wed love to work with her. Id go so far as to say we would develop a project with her in mind. Shes stunning.
Its funny. Id never watched Idol until this season, Bell said. A friend called me and said youve got to see this girl. As soon as we began watching her, we were hooked. So many possibilities there.
Regarding Megans sleeve tattoo, Bell responded, To get her going in something like a festival short, wed write the tattoo into the story, just to get her in a film, so she could get her acting feet wet. She simply has too much presence, almost a Grace Kelly kind of thing. You cant help but gape at her.
Weve tried to contact Megan, Bell continued, through one of her fan websites that stated they had a direct line to her, but to no avail. I know she has a myspace now. So well wait until shes off the tour, and depending on what happens with the Fleetwood Mac thing, well try to get together with her in the fall. But, who knows, we might be competing with Cover Girl and LOreal, shes that good-looking.
Jimmy Iovine tells an excellent story about the pairing of Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks in Peter Bogdanovich's great film about Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Running Down a Dream. Iovine loved having Nicks sing lead on "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" because he loved hearing a woman sing the role normally sung by a man.
What does Madonna work out to? Kaballah disco? Threadmill groove? Yoga boogie? Surprise. It's none of the above. Madonna likes to work out to the tunes of Tiesto, Daft Punk and Miles Dyson according to an exclusive remix compilation the Queen of Pop put together for New York City gym chain Equinox. Download it at iTunes.
The compilation is the first in a series of Equinox's so-called Celebrity Sets that gym lovers and workout buffs can download on iTunes. More than a dozen star-studded mixes are already in play for the fall debutincluding Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Stevie Nicks, Darryl DMC McDaniels and Michael Buble," reveals, creative director Bianca Kosoy.
She stays mum about the arrangements the company has with participating artists. "None of them are under any contractual obligation or financial arrangement with Equinox. We want the guest DJs to be true to themselves and we will work with them to edit the list through the Equinox lens."
Perhaps they gave Madonna's a few lifetime guest passes for that fancy new Equinox in Chelsea. In any event, Madge put together a slamming remix compilation that surely will get you to crunch a little harder and pump up your heartbeat a bit faster.
Madonna's full Equinox playlist:
"Watch the Sunrise" (Extended Vocal) - Axwell
"Dance 4 Life" (12" Mix) - Tiësto & Maxi Jazz
"Delirious" David Guetta
"Do You Feel Me" (feat. Julie Thompson) - Tiësto
"Stardust" (Felguk Remix) - Perfect Stranger
"Fly Away" (Gee & Lighter Remix) - Jean Claude Ades
"Television Rules the Nation / Crescendolls" - Daft Punk
"Massenbewegungsmittel" - Miles Dyson
"Superfine" - Hong Kong Blondes
"Not Over" (feat. Ryan Tedder) - Oakenfold
The Really Snowing Picture Frame is what snow globes would be like it if wasn't for Christopher Columbus proving that the world wasn't flat (history nerds step in and correct that, you know you want to). Also I would be posting this post in a Navajo dialect from my wigwam (I know, I know, technically the Lenapes lived in my area, not the point history buffs, nobody's ever heard of the Lenapes despite their poor land bartering deals- Manhattan for $24 in trinkets? ripoff city! Shame shame shame… shame on you…Arnold Diaz FTW).
Back to the picture frame- this is a non-digital picture frame (or as we used to call them back in the day "picture frame") and is operated by a pair of batteries. When you turn it on, it looks like it's snowing. Snow swirls around behind the glass like a windy day at Stevie Nicks' house in the 70's. It's really future proof since due to global warming there will no longer be snow anywhere within the next 10 years (possibly inaccurate, I'm not a meteorologist either) so you can make it snow where there is no snow. It won't save the polar bears or anything like that though, unfortunately. It holds your standard 4″ x 6″ photos.
Last May when we were leaving a big festival near Asheville called LEAF (think an artsy, creative, love fest of an event), we hopped a van/shuttle with some other festival goers. In the shuffle of us all grabbing a seat and playing musical chairs, I ended up in the very back row with two people not in our group. Thats not a bad thing, meeting new folks is good, except maybe these folks hadnt bathed much and they had definitely altered their psyche a bit.
However, I cant not talk to anyone standing or sitting beside me, so before I knew it we were discussing some remake of a song playing on the radio. Somehow in that conversation, I ended up describing my distaste for Stevie Nicks rendition of the Dave Matthews Band classic Crash. After a bit we discussed other remakes gone bad and determined that there were some premises necessary for a good remake. And before I knew it, the patchouli smelling guy beside me confessed that he felt a certain passion for the cover albums recently released by Rod Stewart.
Out of curiosity, how do you find all these MacNuggets? I love it but they're all so random! You have a talent, my friend.
And she is like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness.
Dani, I don't know how you found The Ledge, But I thank God you and Bryson did!

text: Polar bears are known for dining on whatever they want, from human garbage to reindeer to berries. But in the lower latitudes of the Canadian Arctic, they primarily prey on ringed seals (Pusa hispida), hunting them from sea ice platforms. Over the past 3 decades, however, the sea ice in this region has progressively broken up earlier than in the past due to climate change. The bears now face 2 months of ice-free habitat. Without seals to eat, the bears have increasingly turned to terrestrial prey, including the eggs of northern common eiders and thick-billed murres, scientists have discovered. Over three summers, from 2010 to 2012, researchers surveyed the birds' nesting colonies on 230 islands and along more than 1000 kilometers of coastline in Hudson Strait and Northern Hudson Bay Narrows, looking for signs of predators. On 16 of the islands, they spotted 22 polar bears, and evidence of bears, such as feces containing eggshell, on an additional 63 islands, the researchers report online today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. They also watched bears eating eggs on numerous occasions (pictured). Overall, they found bears at 34% of the eider colonies, and estimated that the birds lost more eggs to them than to gulls and foxes, their usual nest predators. Murres, which nest on steep and narrow cliff ledges, are not as affected by the bears. The researchers do not yet know how the eiders will fare if the bears continue to feast on their eggs, although they think some colonies may go extinct if the intense predation continues. But their study—and others showing that polar bears are also dining on snow goose eggs and caribou—does support claims that polar bears in areas where the ice breaks up early don't have enough time to hunt seals and acquire the fat reserves they need to make it through the ice-free season. The vanishing sea ice, the researchers conclude, is causing a cascade of unexpected ecological effects—not just on polar bears but also on seabirds.

About Edward Wormley (Designer)
As the longtime director of design for the Dunbar furniture company, Edward Wormley was, along with such peers as George Nelson at Herman Miller Inc., and Florence Knoll of Knoll Inc., one of the leading forces in bringing modern design into American homes in the mid 20th century. Not an axiomatic modernist, Wormley deeply appreciated traditional design, and consequently his work has an understated warmth and a timeless quality that sets it apart from other furnishings of the era.
Wormley was born in rural Illinois and as a teenager took correspondence courses from the New York School of Interior Design. He later attended the Art Institute of Chicago but ran out of money for tuition before he could graduate. Marshall Field hired Wormley in 1930 to design a line of reproduction 18th-century English furniture; the following year he was hired by the Indiana-based Dunbar, where he quickly distinguished himself. It was a good match. Dunbar was an unusual firm: it did not use automated production systems; its pieces were mostly hand-constructed. For his part, Wormley did not use metal as a major component of furniture; he liked craft elements such as caned seatbacks, tambour drawers, or the woven-wood cabinet fronts seen on his Model 5666 sideboard of 1956. He designed two lines for Dunbar each year — one traditional, one modern — until 1944, by which time the contemporary pieces had become the clear best sellers.
Many of Wormley's signature pieces are modern interpretations of traditional forms. His 1946 Riemerschmid Chair —an example is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art — recapitulates a late 19th-century German design. The long, slender finials of his Model 5580 dining chairs are based on those of Louis XVI chairs; his Listen-to-Me Chaise (1948) has a gentle Rococo curve; the "Precedent" line that Wormley designed for Drexel Furniture in 1947 is a simplified, pared-down take on muscular Georgian furniture. But he could invent new forms, as his Magazine Table of 1953, with its bent wood pockets, and his tiered Magazine Tree (1947), both show. And Wormley kept his eye on design currents, creating a series of tables with tops that incorporate tiles and roundels by the great modern ceramicists Otto and Gertrud Natzler. As the items on these pages demonstrate, Edward Wormley conceived of a subdued sort of modernism, designing furniture that fits into any decorating scheme and does not shout for attention.

Module to automatically extract functions from the local code. http://github.com/finnsson/template-helper
|LTS Haskell 16.19:
|Stackage Nightly 2020-06-16:
|Latest on Hackage:
Maintained by Oscar Finnsson
Module documentation for 0.2.4
This version can be pinned in stack with:
- Language
- Language.Haskell
language-haskell-extract contains some useful helper functions on top of Template Haskell.
functionExtractor extracts all functions after a regexp-pattern.
foo = "test"
boo = "testing"
bar = $(functionExtractor "oo$")
will automagically extract the functions ending with
oo such as
bar = [("foo",foo), ("boo",boo)]
This can be useful if you wish to extract all functions beginning with test (for a test-framework) or all functions beginning with wc (for a web service).
functionExtractorMap works like
functionsExtractor but applies a function over all function-pairs.
This functions is useful if the common return type of the functions is a type class.
secondTypeclassTest =
do let expected = ["45", "88.8", "\"hej\""]
actual = $(functionExtractorMap "^tc" [|\n f -> show f|] )
expected @=? actual
tcInt :: Integer
tcInt = 45
tcDouble :: Double
tcDouble = 88.8
tcString :: String

Jobs Go Unfilled in Fort Wayne
Unemployment in Fort Wayne, Ind., is 6.8%, below the national average, but far above normal. Yet for many employers with openings in this Midwest manufacturing city-as well as elsewhere--filling those jobs isn't easy. Mark Peters has details on The News Hub.

Insurers have been using gender-distinct prices for long-term care coverage for a few months now, and as you would expect, the cost for men is going down, while couples and women are paying more, according to the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance.
AALTCI on Tuesday released an index of prices that consumers can expect to pay for "good," "better" and "best" long-term care coverage.
A single 55-year-old man can get good coverage, which provides a certain amount of benefits that can be supplemented with other savings and income, for an average $925 per year. AALTCI found the range of prices for that level of coverage to be between $915 and $1,200.
Better coverage, which AALTCI described as coverage that a consumer can buy and add to later, would cost $1,045 per year, but the organization noted that this option was rare among providers.
The best coverage is a policy where benefits grow at 3% compounded annually and would run a 55-year-old man $1,765 per year, down nearly 15% from $2,065 in 2013.
It's important to note that the 2013 average for best coverage was determined using unisex rates, so it's the same rate a single 55-year-old woman would have paid last year. Genworth was the first to launch gender-distinct pricing on its long-term care products in April 2013, followed later by Transamerica, John Hancock and Mutual of Omaha.
After gender-distinct pricing rolled out, the average price for the best coverage for a single 55-year-old woman increased almost 12% to $2,307. Prices for coverage at the good and better levels are higher than the prices for men, too, at $1,225 and $1,350 respectively.
"Last year, leading insurers began charging women higher premiums," Jesse Slome, director of the AALTCI, explained in a statement. "Women accounted for two-thirds of the $6.6 billion in long-term care insurance claim benefits paid out."
The spreads between highest and lowest price were larger for women, too. Good coverage for women cost between $990 and $1,720. Best coverage ran between $1,730 at the low end and more than double at $3,620 for the high end.
"One insurer will literally charge more than double for virtually the same level of benefits," Slome said. "No one insurance company is always the least nor always the most expensive."
Prices are up for couples, too. Good coverage for a 60-year-old couple cost $1,980, up 9% from 2013. Better coverage increased 55% to $2,220 and best coverage is up 3% to $3,840.

Below, Kevin Kelly continues to report and comment on the recent tavern check at Club Oasis. He includes information on 60+ "orders to appear" issued by ICE to patrons not accused of crimes – information which has eluded other reports. Tomorrow, Kelly will interview one of the patrons so ordered:
Let's be clear. Whatever else the Oct. 25 midnight raid at the Club Oasis was, it also appears very much to be an immigration raid.
Kansas City Police Chief James Corwin, in his Internet blog, called it a "tavern check" at a nightclub that had been the scene of numerous calls to police. He cited 68 calls for police service to Club Oasis, located on Southwest Boulevard on Kansas City's West side, since May 2009, and another 99 police calls to "addresses immediately adjacent to the club."
"These have included multiple shootings, fights, thefts, traffic obstructions and more," the chief wrote.
Well and good. That is not in dispute. During the raid, according to the chief, four underage drinkers were busted, and an apparently unlicensed security guard and three others were arrested for possession of cocaine. In addition, the club owner was cited for allowing the underage drinkers, and two other security guards were arrested for not having licenses.
This is great police work and a community service.
On top of all that, as they ran the identifications of the estimated (according to police) 100 patrons inside the bar, police discovered 13 patrons who had been deported before and were back in the United States, four who had been ordered to leave and had outstanding federal warrants against them, and three more with criminal histories who were not legal residents.
Again, good and valuable police work.
But here is a number that hasn't been reported. According to Suzanne Gladney, immigration attorney for Legal Aid of Western Missouri, 60 people showed up two days later at the Platte County office for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for "further processing" as they were ordered to do by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents permanently assigned to the Kansas City Department's Gang Squad who were involved the Club Oasis raid.
Gladney stressed that she could not say whether the 60 were formally cited for immigration violations.
"They were given a piece of paper and told to report for further processing," she said.
Gladney also said that the 60 were just those who reported as instructed, and could not say how many others might have been so ordered at the raid.
"I think we are talking between 60 and 100," she said.
So here is the tally from the Club Oasis raid:
– Four arrests for drug possession.
– Four arrests for underage drinking.
– Thirteen arrests for re-entering the United States after deportation.
– Three arrests for being in the United States with a criminal arrests.
– 60 to 100 orders to appear for "further processing" by federal immigration officials.
"Tavern check"? Yes it was. "Immigration raid"? Well . . .

Harry Styles Gets New Ship Tattoo With Taylor Swift
Harry Styles Gets Inked in LA With Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift accompanied her boyfriend, Harry Styles, as he added a new tattoo to his ink collection in LA on Tuesday. They stopped by the Shamrock Tattoo Parlor, where Harry got a large tattoo of a ship on his upper arm. This isn't Harry's first tattoo — he reportedly has nearly 20 and is working on getting a full sleeve.
Taylor and Harry have been almost inseparable for the past few weeks. Both Taylor and One Direction criss-crossed the country together as part of the Jingle Ball tour, which included a host of other pop acts like Justin Bieber and The Wanted. After finishing up the tour, the couple jetted off to the UK so Harry could show Taylor England's famous Lake District for her birthday. Taylor and Harry were spotted holding hands together as they toured the quaint English towns. She was then off to Germany for a quick solo trip, but they've since reunited stateside.

In entire the world of natural gemstones, diamonds are the most fascinating because of the story of their creation. Formed some 100 to 240 miles below the earth's surface under conditions of intense pressure and very high heat, diamonds are made of just one element, carbon. They are also billions of years old. Until the 18th century however, the only known source for diamonds was thought to be India. Later, diamonds turned up in Brazil. By the mid-19th century, large diamonds were discovered in South Africa, which sparked an enormous diamond rush to that region. Today diamonds are mined in South Africa, Botswana, Canada, Russia, and elsewhere.
The beautiful Moissanite stone literally owes its origins to the stars. In the late 19th century, French scientist Henri Moissan discovered minute particles of a naturally occurring mineral in a crater in Arizona that eventually bore his name—Moissanite. Although he originally thought they were diamonds, later examination revealed them to be another mineral altogether, silicon carbide. After years of experimentation, Moissan was able to recreate this extraordinarily sparkling stone in the laboratory. Today, Moissanite is highly sought-after for its own distinct beauty and durability.

Argo topped Sunday's Oscars on a history-making night.
Ben Affleck's political thriller took three awards, including Best Picture, becoming the fourth film to win the top prize without a Best Director nomination, following Wings, Grand Hotel and Driving Miss Daisy. The film also won Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing. This is Affleck's second Oscar after his screenplay win for Good Will Hunting and is also the second for Argo producer George Clooney. Clooney is the third person to win an acting Oscar (Syriana) and Best Picture after Laurence Olivier and Michael Douglas.

Life of Pi led with four wins, including Best Director for Ang Lee. He previously won for Brokeback Mountain and is the 16th person to win the category twice. He is also the first person since George Stevens in 1957 to win two directing awards without his film winning Best Picture, and this is the 22nd time in Oscar history there is a Picture-Director split.
Five years to the day of his second win, Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln) became the first man to win Best Actor three times. He joins Walter Brennan, Ingrid Bergman, Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep as three-time winners; Katharine Hepburn leads everyone with four wins. Day-Lewis is also the first person to win an acting award in a Spielberg film and the first to win for playing a president.
Silver Linings Playbook's Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress, ensuring that her film — the first in 31 years to get a nomination in all four acting races — would not go home empty-handed.

You don't understand risk.
I don't mean you, in your professional capacity. I mean you, the human being whose brain is desperately trying to keep you alive. An endless procession of mortal threats are trying to end your particular genomic variation, forcing your brain to respond first and think later.
Your existence is threatened by hungry predators, roving bands of Neanderthals, poison mushrooms and all manner of germs.
What's that you say? You don't live on a savannah where lions hunt, and there haven't been any Neanderthals for 30,000 years?
That is irrelevant to your risk-calculating engine. Your wetware was optimized during a period when those were the highest potential threats to your well-being. Humans who failed to avoid those didn't manage to pass on their DNA, becoming someone else's lunch.
Let's look at some of the world's top predators as an example of risk in the modern world. Start with the shark, that fearsome, perfectly evolved eating machine. Immortalized in Steven Spielberg's 1975 film, "Jaws," and star of the Discovery Channel's "Shark Week," "the longest-running cable television programming event in history," according to the Wall Street Journal. Can you imagine how many humans are devoured by this fearsome predator each year?
That's right, less than a dozen of the 7 billion people on the planet succumb to death by shark each year.
Well, we live on land, what about lions? About 100, and most of those people live right there in the lion's habitat, that savannah mentioned a few paragraphs earlier.
There are other large predators that each year manage to whittle down a few off of that 7 billion number: Elephants (100), hippos (500), crocodiles (1,000), snakes (50,000). Even man's best friend, the dog, is responsible for 25,000 deaths, almost all because of rabies.
If you really want to fear a killer, let me suggest two that actually move the needle in terms of human mortality: Human beings themselves are responsible for almost a half-million deaths annually. They come in second. The planet's apex murderer, the creature who offs more people than any others? Mosquitoes. They take out almost three-quarters of a million humans a year by spreading a variety of deadly diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and encephalitis.
Back to humans. Are many of those deaths related to terrorism, which some of us think will take us out? The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracks data on the various causes of death in the U.S., ranked by prevalence. While terrorism has dominated the political and policy debate ever since the Sept. 11 attacks, reality is far more mundane.
You are 35,079 times more likely to die of heart disease and 33,842 times more likely to die of cancer than a terrorism attack.
That's at home. If you go overseas, the numbers are no different. As noted earlier this week, the U.S. State Department reported that "only 17 U.S. citizens were killed worldwide as a result of terrorism in 2011. That figure includes deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq and all other theaters of war." The leading cause of deaths for Americans traveling abroad, according to the Center for Disease Control, is car crashes.
All of this adds up to lots of fascinating data, but what does this have to do with investing?
Plenty. It turns out that investors fear things that are relatively rare, such as market crashes. They also ignore little things that are likely to do damage over the long term, namely trading too much, paying too much in commissions, generating a big and unnecessary tax bill.
These are the cholesterol of investing. They won't kill you tomorrow in a spectacular fireball or shark attack. But they will kill you in the end, slowly and quietly, and with great finality.
No, you don't understand risk. If you did, you would live longer, have less fear and, eventually, a much bigger investment portfolio.

Just because you have a famous brother doesn't mean that you will approach the heights of greatness yourself, as anyone who has seen a Daniel Baldwin movie will readily attest. We've previously written about Barbaro's younger brother, of course, but now the horse — named Nicanor — is ready to make his racing debut. And the best part is that nobody has the faintest clue as to if he's any good. Hmm; I feel a poem coming on ...
There are some hints, though. He appears to be athletic, is put together well and has a good disposition. He also seems curious and intelligent. Like Barbaro, he has a habit of taking in the scenery when he goes to the track in the mornings. He will peer at his surroundings before he tells his exercise rider that he is ready to go.
As the Times article states, the odds of Nicanor being good enough to win the Kentucky Derby like his older brother are astronomical. But it doesn't matter. All that stupid horse has to do is sprain an ankle, and we'll all be deluged with horse poetry for the remainder of the century.

Over at my article on Bible and Interpretation, Bob Cargill makes the following salient points to Paul Blowers (snippet below):
Dr. Blowers,
As an alum of, and former adjunct professor at a Restoration school (Pepperdine), and as a colleague of Dr. Rollston's, I have taken an interest in this developing story, one that increasingly looks like an attempt by the administration at Emmanuel Christian Seminary to terminate a tenured professor at the urging of a professor of church history, who just happens to be the son of a wonderful and well-loved regent of both Emmanuel and Milligan College. (That would be you.)
So as one who was raised in the Churches of Christ, and as one who now proudly teaches Religious Studies at the University of Iowa, and who is heavily involved in the Digital Humanities, I have taken additional interest in this story because so much of it has taken place in the form of YOUR public comments in the online realm, such as Facebook and blogs.
HOWEVER, as a member of the academy, and as a scholar and a professor engaged in the academic enterprise, it is every bit my, and ALL scholars' business to know whether or not a supposed institution of higher learning is abiding by fundamental academic principles like tenure.
Do you not realize that your repeated (non-)responses of "it's just our internal business" and "you don't have all the information" makes the recent events at Emmanuel appear all the more scandalous, as these are the typical responses of an organization that is attempting to cover up and distract from something that goes against all rules of professionalism and academic propriety?
If Emmanuel has terminated a tenured professional, and one that is as respected as Dr. Rollston, for doing his job – offering an interpretation of scripture based upon his expertise, but one which you, as a Professor of Restoration history, happen to disagree with, and for which you have publicly chastised him – then there will be such a professional and public outcry against Emmanuel that whatever is left of their credibility will instantly be flushed away and the only individuals who will support the institution, and the only students who will attend the college are the far-right leaning, bordering-on-fundamentalist conservative Stone-Campbell sectarians who regularly champion anti-intellectual causes and badmouth any form of critical biblical scholarship. Are you TRYING to make Emmanuel look even MORE anti-intellectual than Glenn Beck University?
via The Bible and Interpretation – On Academic Integrity and the Future of Biblical Studies in Confessional Institutions.
You will want to read all of Bob's points (spread out over three comments #13-15).

MSU's Broad Art Museum Appoints Curator
- EAST LANSING, Michigan
- /
- December 14, 2011
The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University has appointed Alison Gass curator of contemporary art. Gass, who was named a young curator to watch by The New York Times in 2010, currently serves as assistant curator of painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
At the Broad/MSU, Gass will be responsible for developing exhibitions and commissions of international scope, guided by the museum's dual focus on presenting international contemporary art in all media, as well as thematic exhibitions that investigate contemporary works within a historical context.
Gass joins the new museum as it prepares to open its Zaha Hadid-designed building to the public on April 21, 2012. The Broad/MSU's inaugural exhibitions, curated by founding director Michael Rush, include "Global Groove 1973/2012," which will use Nam June Paik's seminal 1973 video "Global Groove" as a jumping off point to explore current trends in international video art, and "In Search of Time," which will investigate artists' expressions of time and memory by creating dialogues among works by artists including Josef Albers, Romare Bearden, Damien Hirst, Toba Khadoori, Andy Warhol, Eadweard Muybridge and Sam Jury, among others.
"Alison Gass' experience and fresh perspective will be a great asset as we launch this unique new institution—one of only a small group of university museums devoted to international contemporary art," said Rush. "I look forward to working with her to shape an innovative exhibition program that will explore international contemporary culture and ideas through the probing gaze of artists."
As assistant curator of painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Gass has organized exhibitions for the museum's "New Work Series," which showcases emerging and midcareer artists, most recently with Tiago Carneiro Da Cunha, Klara Kristalova and Mika Rottenberg. She co-curated the 2008 "SECA Art Award" exhibition, and is currently organizing "Fifty Years of Bay Area Art: The SECA Awards." Additionally, she served as assistant curator for the traveling retrospective "Luc Tuymans," 2009. In the same year, The New York Times named Gass one of nine young curators to watch in the article "The New Guard Steps Up."
Prior to joining SFMOMA, Gass worked at the Jewish Museum in New York, The Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum and The Museum of Modern Art, New York. She has published and lectured on diverse aspects of contemporary art, and holds degrees in Art History from both Columbia University and the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University.
"It is rare to have the opportunity to build a new arts institution from the time of its inception, and I am thrilled to be joining the Broad at MSU as it prepares to open in the spring," said Gass. "It is particularly exciting to focus on engaging students with contemporary art, art history and the ways art speaks to contemporary experience around the world."

We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.
Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy
With so many of the WoW festivals revolving around killing and death, the Wanderer's festival is a real breathe of fresh air. There is no big bad to slaughter, no towns to save, just a leisurely Sunday beach party focusing on celebrating exploration and dreams coming true.
The party starts with the celebrants emerging from the jungle, some carrying lanterns which they take to the water's edge.
Once released these glowing beacons float out to sea, drifting out to explore.
I find myself returning week after week just so I can sit on the beach watching the world go by.
I love the idea of a regular festival and/or event that happens all year around and really hope it's something that Blizzard develop further at some point. So far we have the Wanderer's Festival with it's hatchling and of course the Darkmoon Faire but perhaps the market at Halfhill could expand into a proper market on a Saturday with twice as many stalls, some selling unique items and recipes. Maybe those enterprising Goblins in Booty Bay could set up a Fish market to help fund the rebuilding project or the Vrykul could host a little gathering once a fortnight to help draw people back to Northrend, obviously we'd have to dress up to avoid being on the receiving end of a pointy spear but the opportunities could be endless.

Behold Your Little Ones
1. Then Jesus took their children, one by one.
With love, he blessed them.
He prayed unto the Father for each one,
And then he wept.
Then Jesus spoke unto the multitude
And said to them: "Behold your little ones."
2. The multitude looked upward into heav'n.
The heavens opened.
And angels were descending out of heav'n,
As if in fire.
The angels circled round those little ones
With heav'nly fire,
And ministered to them.
"Behold your little ones."
