« Party like it's Super Bowl XLI | Main | We pick 'em »Originally posted: February 1, 2007
D-Train on board
I'm in the middle of an issue for the week, so I'm gonna make this one quick.
Dontrelle Willis was on "Jim Rome Is Burning" wearing a Brian Urlacher jersey and picked the Bears. Former Patriots and current Browns linebacker Willie McGinest said he has to stick by the AFC.
"Around the Horn" discussed who the most important player in the game will be. Woody Paige said it would be Peyton Manning. "He beat the Bears 41-10, he hasn't changed," Paige said. Except the Bears defense has.
J.A. Adande said Adewale Ogunleye would be the player to watch. "Just ask Drew Brees."
Kevin Blackistone said Colts tight end Dallas Clark, since the "wideouts will be blanketed" in the Cover-2. He also pointed out that Clark is the Colts' leading receiver in the postseason and predicted that he would be the Super Bowl MVP.
Jay Mariotti said this of Rex, his player to watch: "If he doesn't have to match Peyton Manning, he certainly has to stay in the ballgame." He said Rex needs to take pressure off the running game. "Rex has shown early in the season that he can have a complete football game, he's gonna have to have that game."
Joe Theismann disagreed with this opinion on "Pardon the Interruption." After saying he expects to see Good Rex, Theismann said, "He's been better than Peyton in the playoffs. … The worst thing he can do is get caught up in this 'He has to beat Peyton' thing and start slinging the ball around the yard."
However, Theismann picks the Colts because "I'm not stupid." He said Manning will know where Bears defenders are gonna be pre-read and when he can do that kind of pre-determination, he's hard to stop.

Take pressure off the running game?????Posted by: David W | Feb 1, 2007 6:32:57 PM
There's a shocker. Someone from ESPN picking against the Bears. In related news, the sun is expected to rise sometime tomorrow morning only to set later in the day.
I don't know about you guys, but I want this damn game just to start already. I just saw a thing on FOX News about how Jim McMahon doesn't care if the Bears win on Sunday. I can't believe we're that desperate for news now. I don't care that Jim McMahon doesn't care.
But I know one person who's probably loving all of this right now. That guy's Rahula. Look at that picture of him in his Ray-Ban sunglasses looking like an extra from "Scarface". Hope you're enjoying all of those Maxim parties and TV Azteca reporters. Because when you come back to Chicago, you'll be freezing your butt off just like the rest of us.
RAHULA'S RESPONSE: Hey, I paid a good 14 bucks for those sunglasses. And as for the Maxim parties, well, if you got an in, let me know, and I'll let you know how they are. The folks at Maxim, the Versace mansion and Playboy don't exactly have me on their speed dial. That said, I think I'm headed to South Beach tonight.Posted by: Mr. Lancers | Feb 1, 2007 9:48:05 PM
Chris Collinsworth has seen the light. He was the only guy on Inside the NFL to pick the Bears. He said that the Bears are meaner on defense, meaner on offense, meaner on special teams and the better overall team, which means that they are the team to win come Sunday.
RAHULA'S RESPONSE: If special teams doesn't factor into this game somehow, whether it's a long kick return, a blocked kick, or a spectacular punt, anything, I will be very surprised. And the Bears have the significant advantage there.Posted by: David W | Feb 1, 2007 9:56:43 PM
Glad to see you are back at "work" after all that partying.Posted by: mamabear | Feb 1, 2007 10:29:05 PM

Later that evening after a nap and some delicious homemade turkey burgers (Thanks, Rich!) we headed to Greene Street for the Poetic License show at Moss. We arrived late to a packed gallery but managed to enjoy ourselves and pick out our favorite pieces.
Afterwards it was back up to Chelsea's Milk Gallery to catch the much-anticipated launch of Dune's newest collection Enamored, which featured new works by Karim Rashid, Harry Allen, Richard Shemetov, Claesson Koivisto Rune, Jozeph Forakis, and Carlos Gastelum. The collection is quite futuristic, featuring space-age shapes and bright flourescent hues — certainly not for everyone, but then not everyone can afford to outfit their home with furniture that isn't mass produced. We threw in the towel around 11:00 p.m., walking back by Chelsea Market where we started our day.

Google will reportedly release a messaging client named Babble that will consolidate each service—Talk, Hangout, Voice, Chat, etc.—into one harmonious platform. The goal is, according to Geek.com, to unify its communication problem into one elegant solution, that way Googlers can converse with each other no matter what service they're on.
"A cross platform solution would enable Google to overtake platforms like iMessage and BlackBerry Messenger in one sweeping gesture," Geek.com claims. Babble will be a completely fresh, built from the ground up service, and will allow users to do things like share pictures and start Hangouts while keeping a threaded conversation across all existing Google services.
Geek.com says Google's current options will be integrated into the single platform where the same chat windows will show up across all of the company's product—all the same features will be available no matter if you're in Drive, Google+ or Gmail.
There's no timeframe attached to the project, but hints suggest Google I/O will be the official unveiling.

How to Choose the Right Cooking Oil: Top 4 Healthiest Options
Why choosing the right cooking oil is important
There are an array of options when it comes to cooking oil. What is the best and healthiest oil? One of the most important factors that needs to be considered when choosing a cooking oil is its resistance to oxidation at both low and high heat. When oils are heated they undergo oxidation, which changes their molecular structure and could turn them into harmful compounds that are dangerous for consumption. You want to cook with oils that are stable and don't oxidise or go rancid easily. Being aware of the smoke point of an oil will help you determine whether it's more suitable for cooking on low or high temperatures. As a rule of thumb, the more refined the oil, the higher the smoke point.
Fats and oils that are rich in monounsaturated and saturated fats are much more stable when heated, compared to polyunsaturated fats (source). Here's what made our top 4 healthiest oils list:
Coconut Oil
Complementing sweet baked dishes and some savoury dishes (such as Thai food), coconut oils offers great health benefits and can liven up a dish with a strong coconutty flavour. In contrast, its flavours can also be masked by other dominating flavours in a dish. Coconut oil is easy to digest, enhances energy, increases metabolism and more. Read more about it in our post Health Benefits of Coconut Oil.
Coconut oil is approximately 90% saturated fat (which is higher than butter, which is about 64% saturated fat). Harvard Medical School has pointed out that a diet containing too much saturated fat is unhealthy because it increases "bad" LDL cholesterol levels, which raises the risk of heart disease. They recommend using it occasionally.
Refined coconut oil is suitable for occasional high heat cooking such as frying, as it has a higher smoke point, while raw virgin coconut oil is more appropriate for low temperature cooking or baking.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is good for low-heat cooking but it also contains enough flavour to be enjoyed uncooked, drizzled over a salad, as a condiment or as a dip for bread. Olive oil is abundant in antioxidants, supports heart health and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory characteristics.
Olives and olive oil offer virtually the same health benefits. The biggest difference is that olive oil is 100% fat, while olives contain only 20% fat. Both offer fantastic health benefits that you can read about in our post Origins of the Olive Tree.
Tip: Olive oil should be stored in a dark, cool place away from the stove, as light and heat are detrimental to it. Look for "100% olive oil" on labels to ensure it hasn't been combined with cheap vegetable oil. We recommend a high quality Peruvian olive oil here.
Avocado Oil
Avocado is a great oil to use for frying because of its high heat tolerance. With a mild, clean flavour and a slight hint of nuttiness, avocado oil doesn't taste like the fruit. Smooth and light in texture, it also does very well as a salad dressing.
Traditionally used in India for ayurvedic cooking, ghee is basically butter cleared of milk solids. Golden in colour with a nutty, savoury flavour, ghee has a high smoking point and can be used to cook at high heat. The preferred cooking oil in ancient India, ghee was traditionally considered to be the healthiest source of edible fat. Ayurveda says ghee promotes longevity and protects the body from an array of diseases. It improves absorption and memory and supports the functioning of the brain and nervous system (source).
If you're wondering why you shouldn't just use butter, removing the milk solids from ghee almost entirely removes the carbohydrates and lactose that people are sensitive to. This is the reason why it has a high smoke point, so it can be used for stir frying, deep frying and sautéing.
We encourage you use these oils to cook healthy, nutritional dishes to benefit your health and wellbeing.

Series: Drosera of the World Volume: 1
By: Allen Lowrie(Author), Richard Nunn(Author), Alastair S Robinson(Author), Greg Bourke(Author), Stewart McPherson(Author), Andreas Fleischmann(Author)
528 pages, 589 colour photos and colour & b/w illustrations
Drosera are amongst the most recognised carnivorous plants worldwide for their distinctive, dew-covered insect-trapping leaves, with flowers that range from simple and diminutive to some of the most spectacular of all carnivorous plants. The genus is widespread, occurring across Eurasia, Africa, North America, South America and Oceania, where the highest levels of diversity worldwide are found on the Australian mainland, which is home to over 150 species and more than half of the species in the genus. These remarkable plants inhabit a broad range of ecological niches, from the wet bogs of the boreal north to sub-Antarctic alpine meadows and even seasonally-wet desert landscapes. The first species of Drosera were described more than 500 years ago, but new species continue to be discovered even today. These generously illustrated volumes document all Drosera species recognised to date, featuring in-depth descriptions, background information and over 1900 photographs, as well as an exhaustive index of all Drosera names and synonyms.

|New Acetaminophen Warning: Why Now?
A move by the Food and Drug Administration to add Stevens-Johnson Syndrome to a list of acetaminophen side effects comes one month after a Supreme Court ruling related to the rare but deadly skin disease.
The federal agency announced Thursday that the makers of Tylenol and other forms of the popular painkiller would be required to warn consumers about the dangerous drug reaction, which can cause the skin to blister and slough off the body.
|Powerball Jackpot Hits $300 Million
Saturday's Powerball jackpot has hit at least $300 million. The game is played in 43 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Lottery officials and mathematicians say every Powerball ticket has the same chance of winning. But that hasn't stopped aspiring millionaires from trying to crack a secret code.
The greatest debate: use lucky numbers or let the machine decide? Quick picks do take most of the jackpots. But here again, it's just math: close to 80 percent of all ticket buyers let the computer do the picking.

No. R-97-001
In re THE PROPOSED PUBLIC PROTECTION FUND RULE
(Petition of the New Hampshire Bar Association)
January 22, 1998
Michael P. Hall and Thomas Quarles, Jr., orally, in favor of the adoption of the proposed Public Protection Fund Rule.
Mark P. Hodgdon and H. Bernard Waugh, Jr., orally, opposed to the adoption of the proposed Public Protection Fund Rule.
BROCK, C.J. The New Hampshire Bar Association has requested that this court establish a Client Protection Fund to reimburse clients for losses caused by the infrequent dishonest conduct of New Hampshire lawyers. We referred the matter to our advisory committee on rules, see Sup. Ct. R. 51, which amended the Bar Association's proposal, including recasting the name of the fund to the Public Protection Fund (PPF). The advisory committee on rules recommended that this court adopt a rule establishing a PPF. In evaluating the Bar Association's proposal and the advisory committee's recommendation, the court solicited and received comments from the bench, bar, legislature, executive branch, and the public, see Appendix One, infra, and held oral argument. We now adopt, with further amendments, the proposed Public Protection Fund Rule, to be known as Supreme Court Rule 55, as set forth in Appendix Two to this opinion.
The PPF is not a novel concept. As early as 1961, the Bar Association created a client indemnity fund to reimburse clients who suffered losses at the hands of a legal counsel. Between 1961 and 1985, revenue for the fund was generated by either mandatory assessments on all bar members or allocations from bar dues. During this period, the fund paid thirty-eight claims totaling $74,712. By 1985, the fund had accumulated a reserve of approximately $123,000. As a consequence of a favorable claims history, a sizeable reserve, and income earned on the reserve, the Bar Association ceased annual contributions to the fund in 1985. Unfortunately, by 1992, as a result of the dishonesty of Attorney John Fairbanks and a few others, the client indemnity fund was in default. Although a large number of voluntary contributions were made to the fund by Bar Association members, the revenues raised were insufficient to provide meaningful protection to affected clients.
In 1996, against this factual backdrop, the legislature established a study committee to examine bonding and other alternatives to protect client trust funds held by lawyers. Laws 1996, ch. 117. In response, we indicated to the study committee that we would consider mandatory bonding for lawyers in accordance with our rulemaking process. Soon thereafter, the committee recommended that we adopt rules to require bonding. See Final Report of the Committee to Study Bonding or Other Alternatives to Protect Client Trust Funds Held by Attorneys (SB 513, Chapter 117, Laws of 1996) (November 1, 1996). This proceeding and the adoption of Supreme Court Rule 55 arise directly from our commitment to the legislature to carefully consider the need to impose bonding requirements by court rule. It is appropriate for this court to take the initiative.
"The task of supervising and disciplining attorneys within this State falls squarely upon the shoulders of this court." Petition of Burling, 139 N.H. 266, 268, 651 A.2d 940, 941 (1994) (emphasis added; quotation and brackets omitted). "In exercising the power to discipline members of the bar, we have the obligation both to protect the public and to promote confidence in and respect for the bar." Id. at 272, 651 A.2d at 944. Our obligation to protect the public is no less important when we supervise attorneys in this State than when we discipline them. In fact, in our past exercise of our supervisory authority, we have been cognizant of our duty to protect the public and to promote confidence in and respect for the bar. Our establishment of rules on trust accounts (Supreme Court Rule 50), trust account certification (Supreme Court Rule 50-A), continuing legal education (Supreme Court Rule 53), and continuing judicial education (Supreme Court Rule 45) have helped fulfill those obligations. Adoption of the Public Protection Fund Rule is a further and important step in our continuing efforts to protect the public.
In taking this step today, we are mindful of the distinguished and honorable history of the New Hampshire Bar Association and are appreciative of the considerable service and accomplishments of its membership. The overwhelming majority of New Hampshire lawyers have continually served the needs and interests of their clients and communities with competence, adherence to ethical principles, and respect for the rule of law. The creation of the PPF is made necessary by the unscrupulous conduct of a few and not from any concern for the conduct of the many. It is consistent with the high ethical and professional standards espoused by the Bar Association during its remarkable history.
Opponents of the PPF contend that a mandatory fund will not discourage unethical behavior by lawyers and will, in effect, force honest lawyers to subsidize the acts of the few less- principled members of the bar. They also contend that the PPF will not satisfy all claims which may be filed. Finally, opponents argue that lawyers should not be singled out to pay into a fund based on their chosen profession, when other occupations are not similarly bound. We do not find these arguments persuasive.
We anticipate that the personal stake lawyers have in the fund, due to their personal contributions, will create a more watchful bar. Further, although the fund may not cover all claims that arise, it will ensure that a significant number of victims receive at least some restitution without unduly burdening bar members. Mandatory contributions will guarantee substantial revenue for the fund, which will compound during years of little demand while providing reserves in years of significant liability. Of course, other avenues of compensation will remain available to victims, including civil and criminal litigation. The PPF is designed as a last resort.
Victims of lawyer defalcation who suffer harm arising from fiduciary or client-lawyer relationships deserve the opportunity to seek restitution when other equitable and legal remedies are foreclosed. Although it rarely occurs in New Hampshire, lawyer defalcation is an inexcusable crime. Recently, the legal profession has received considerable criticism, much of it unfair, following the actions of a few corrupt members of the bar. Dispelling these misconceptions and rejuvenating public confidence is in the interest of all lawyers. This important task will be made easier by the creation of the PPF.
Integrity is essential to the practice of law. Lawyers are members of a unique profession, privileged to serve the public responsibly and credibly. We addressed these principles in Astles' Case, 134 N.H. 602, 606, 594 A.2d 167, 170 (1991), when we stated:
In today's society, more than ever before, the legal profession touches and affects nearly every facet of private and public life. Without debating the merits of this pervasiveness, one indisputable consequence of such an increase has occurred: the need for maintaining and requiring the highest possible levels of honesty and trustworthiness from the legal practitioners in this State.
Any violation of that honesty and trust wounds the profession as a whole. The bar itself recognized the importance of trust to the profession by acknowledging in its constitution the need for "high standards of conduct, integrity, competence and public service on the part of those engaged in the practice of law." In re Unification of the New Hampshire Bar, 109 N.H. 260, 263-64, 248 A.2d 709, 712 (1968) (referring to Article I of the constitution of the New Hampshire Bar Association). Lawyers have a responsibility to maintain public trust and uphold public service with integrity. The comments to the ABA Model Code, which are included in the New Hampshire Rules of Professional Conduct, articulate this duty and state that when a "client security fund" has been established, a lawyer should participate. N.H. R. Prof. Conduct 1.15 comment.
Ensuring public trust is the responsibility of the profession as a whole and is certainly in its best interest. The Supreme Court of Delaware in In re Member of Bar, 257 A.2d 382, 383 (Del. 1969), in upholding that State's Clients' Security Trust Fund, ably articulated the need for collective responsibility:
In a sense, therefore, the profession holds out to the public all its members in good standing as being competent, honest and devoted to their clients' interests. This, it seems to us, is in the nature of a collective representation by the Bar to the public, and justifies a collective acceptance of responsibility when one of its members is false to his oath and the common precepts of honesty.
Some argue that judges, prosecutors, public defenders, those engaged in public practice, and those not engaged in active practice should escape the reach of the PPF. Although such argument is not fanciful, it is not persuasive. All those identified are members of the bar, share the privilege membership provides, and are subject to the duties and collective responsibilities of the profession. While distinctions can be drawn among the varied membership of the organized bar, they are decidedly outweighed by the common obligation to ensure the profession's continued integrity and public confidence. We note that Maine recently adopted a rule setting up a fund similar to the PPF that we adopt today, and that the rule promulgated by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court requires contributions from all bar members, including judges and inactive bar members. Maine Rules for Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection, Rule 3(a) (effective July 1, 1997). Because of this collective responsibility, all members of the bar who pay dues, no matter their category, will be called upon to contribute to the PPF. The contributions will be roughly pro-rated, based on dues paid, such that the contributions will range from five dollars annually for inactive retired members to fifty dollars for active practitioners who have been members of the Bar Association for more than five years.
Opponents also contend that the Bar Association's advocacy before this court for the PPF exceeds the limits placed on it by our opinion in Petition of Chapman, 128 N.H. 24, 509 A.2d 753 (1986). They argue that the PPF goes beyond the guidelines we set out regarding bar activities in Chapman. See id. at 32, 509 A.2d at 759. In that case, we stated that the association should limit its activities before the General Court to, among other things, matters directly relating to the education, ethics, competence, integrity, and regulation of the legal profession as a body. See id. The PPF clearly and directly concerns the integrity of the profession. Our analysis of Chapman, therefore, supports the right of the Bar Association to advocate before this court for the establishment of the fund we create today.
Finally, the PPF is opposed as an unconstitutional tax and a violation of equal protection under the State Constitution in that lawyers are not treated in the same manner as other professions. With regard to the former argument, we agree with the Supreme Court of North Carolina, which, in facing a challenge from a member of the bar to its fund, held:
In ordering the assessment from attorneys for the support of the Client Security Fund, the Court was not imposing a tax, which is a legislative function. Rather, it was an act, found necessary by the Court, in aid of its own responsibility to see to the proper administration of justice.
Beard v. North Carolina State Bar, 357 S.E.2d 694, 696 (N.C. 1987). Regarding equal protection, we held in Petition of Grimm, 138 N.H. 42, 51, 635 A.2d 456, 462 (1993), that the State may "treat professions differently according to the needs of the public in relation to each." We have found a need to protect the public from the few members of the legal profession who might engage in criminal conduct. That need provides a sufficient rational basis for the disparate treatment of attorneys.
The PPF that we establish goes beyond protecting lawyer trust accounts which were the apparent concern of the legislative study committee. The fund will protect victims "for proven losses resulting from embezzlement, conversion, or theft of client funds by lawyers." Sup. Ct. R. 55(2). The client funds, therefore, need not have been in a lawyer's trust account. Claims against the fund must be submitted within three years of the discovery of the defalcation but not later than one year after the offending lawyer has been disbarred or suspended from practice, a prerequisite for recovery from the fund. Sup. Ct. R. 55(3). The maximum reimbursement with respect to the conduct of any one lawyer is $150,000, with an annual cap of all claims on the fund of $1,000,000. Sup. Ct. R. 55(4). No payments are to be made from the fund with respect to a defalcation by an individual lawyer until all other remedies are exhausted and until all claims have been finalized with respect to the offending lawyer. Id.
We realize that the limits on this fund will mean that full recovery by all victims in all circumstances may not occur. No economically viable means exist to provide that protection. The PPF, however, does provide a reliable mechanism for the bar to meet its collective responsibility to the public. In fact, based on historical data, the victims of most lawyer defalcations will likely be paid in full. Only the victims of the most egregious defalcations will likely be left exposed. In an effort to provide greater public protection and to enhance the integrity of the legal profession, we order the creation of the PPF and retain jurisdiction over matters regarding the fund as provided in Supreme Court Rule 55.
So ordered.
All concurred.

Appendix Two
(1) PURPOSE. The purposes of the Public Protection Fund are to provide a public service and to promote public confidence in the administration of justice and the integrity of the legal profession by providing some measure of reimbursement to victims who have lost money or property caused by the defalcation of lawyers admitted to practice law in this jurisdiction occurring in New Hampshire and in the course of the client-lawyer or fiduciary relationship between the lawyer and the claimant.
(2) ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FUND. The New Hampshire Bar Association shall provide a Public Protection Fund establishing a reimbursement mechanism for proven losses resulting from embezzlement, conversion, or theft of client funds by lawyers, and for this purpose, the court shall annually assess a sum to be paid by all dues-paying members of the New Hampshire Bar Association. The Public Protection Fund shall be administered by the New Hampshire Bar Association. Subject to the review and approval of the court, the committee established pursuant to paragraph (5) shall determine the terms, conditions, claims procedures, scope of coverage, cost, and funding mechanisms for such Public Protection Fund, consistent with this rule. The Public Protection Fund is provided as a public service to persons utilizing legal services; the establishment, administration and operation of the Public Protection Fund shall not impose or create any obligation on, expectation of recovery from, or liability of the New Hampshire Bar Association, its officers, governors, members, staff, or members of the Public Protection Fund committee. No claimant shall have a legal interest in the fund nor have a right to receive any portion except as awarded pursuant to this rule.
(3) CLAIMS AGAINST THE FUND. Claims for payment from the fund shall be submitted in writing, under oath, and shall explain specifically the defalcations which led to the losses in question. Such claims must be submitted within three years of the time when the victim discovered or first reasonably should have discovered the defalcations and the resulting losses, but in no event later than one year after the lawyer in question has been suspended or disbarred from practice, or has died or been judged mentally incompetent before the suspension or disbarment proceedings have been commenced or concluded.
(4) PAYMENTS FROM THE FUND. Payments from the fund will be made only after the lawyer in question has been suspended or disbarred from practice; or if the lawyer has died or been judged mentally incompetent before the suspension or disbarment proceedings have been commenced or concluded. As a condition of payment from the fund, the claimant shall execute a subrogation agreement in favor of the fund against the offending lawyer and the offending lawyer's law firm and against third parties to the extent of the amount recovered by claimant from the fund. Payments from the fund shall be made only after exhaustion of all available assets, insurance, and sureties of the offending lawyer and the offending lawyer's law firm. Payments from the fund shall be made only to victims who have lost money or property as the result of the defalcation of the lawyer, and no payments shall be made to any assignee, subrogee, or successor of such victim. The heirs or legatees of deceased victims may be eligible for payment from the fund. Payments from the fund shall be made only at the end of each fund year. Payments from the fund with respect to an individual lawyer shall not be made until all claims have been finalized with respect to that lawyer. The maximum amount of reimbursement to all claimants against the fund in respect to all conduct of any one lawyer shall be $150,000 in the aggregate. The maximum amount of reimbursement to any one claimant, or all claimants, against the fund in any fund year as defined in paragraph (6) shall be $150,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, in the aggregate. The maximum amount which may be paid on a claim shall be the dollar value of the money or property lost by lawyer defalcation and shall not include interest on the amount lost or money spent attempting to collect the loss. If payable claims against a lawyer exceed $150,000, then all payable claims against that lawyer shall be reduced in proportion to their relative value in order to reduce total payments as a result of that lawyer's conduct to $150,000. If payable claims in a single fund year exceed $1,000,000, then all payable claims for that fund year shall be reduced in proportion to their relative value in order to reduce total payments for that year to $1,000,000.
(5) ADMINISTRATION OF THE FUND. The Public Protection Fund shall be administered by a nine member committee, appointed by the President of the New Hampshire Bar Association with the approval of the association's Board of Governors, which committee shall include at least two public members. Five members shall constitute a quorum. All decisions of the committee shall be made by a majority of the members present and voting. The committee shall have the power to propose regulations to clarify the intent of this rule, which regulations shall become effective after review and approval by the court. Decisions of the committee as to whether or not to pay claims and the amount of payments shall be within the committee's discretion, subject to the annual limits stated above, and will be reviewable only for clear abuse of discretion. Review of decisions of the committee shall be by a panel of three retired judges, appointed by the New Hampshire Supreme Court, whose decisions shall be final. Within 120 days after the end of each fund year, the New Hampshire Bar Association shall report to the court about the claims made, approved and paid, assessments received, income earned, and expenses incurred in the preceding fund year. Reasonable expenses incurred by the New Hampshire Bar Association in administering the fund, including overhead, staff time, and professional fees, shall be reimbursed by the fund as a cost of operation, subject to the review and approval of the court.
(6) EFFECTIVE DATE. This rule shall take effect on June 1, 1998, and payments from the fund shall be made only for defalcations occurring on or after that date. Fund years shall run from June 1 to May 31.

It's been said that the content of the internet can be broken down into the following statistics: 50% porn, 10% cat-based memes, and 40% lists. While this may be a slight exaggeration, you get the idea.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of lists, top 10's, and slideshows online. The subjects of these 'listicles' (the slightly cringeworthy term for online lists) have no limits: 20 most amusingly shaped vegetables, 12 hairiest Senators, 50 reasons not to eat raw sewage.
One place where list-based articles have really taken off is on gaming websites. They're often the most popular section of these sites, and, thanks to the sheer number of video games that have been produced over the last 40 years, there are an almost endless number of gaming listicles that can be thought up.
The subject of this particular top 10 is why do video game websites actually use listicles so much? Hopefully the irony of it all won't be lost on anyone, and maybe you'll learn something - even if it's just more proof that you can make a top 10 out of anything.

Archmagus Albertus of Tremere, Praeco of Transylvania, requires magi to carry out the following mission.
To investigate the current situation concerning the Teutonic Knights in the Tribunal. Firstly, to determine their short- and long-term goals and the methods and actions they intend to take to achieve those goals; secondly to recommend a course of action for the Tribunal to follow in response to the Knights; and thirdly (where appropriate) to implement that course of action.
It is important that the Code of Hermes is not broken or even perceived to be broken in any way.
Albertus offers payment in the form of any combination of vis, books about Arts and associated Hermetic abilities, or permanent settlement within the Tribunal for successfully completing the mission. There is an upfront payment of 100 pawns of vis to be shared between participating magi for attempting the mission. The size of the final payment will depend on the degree of success achieved.
Additionally, magi conducting this mission will have the option of joining the oppidum (read the tribunal book for the real meaning of this word, but it represents 'group' or 'camp') of Kezdo Valaz on a temporary basis.
The benefits of doing so are: there will be magi and extra resources available to call upon if needed; the downside would be: their leaders (Essedarius and Leona of Tremere) would be entitled to interfere and issue orders.

Sister-to-Sister Summit for Middle School Girls, November 19
This year's "Sister-to-Sister" Summit for Middle School Girls takes place on Saturday, November 19, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kirk Alumni Center.
"Sister-to-Sister" brings together middle school girls from Bristol, Middlebury, and Vergennes with female Middlebury College students. In a one-day summit and in monthly follow-up events during the rest of the school year, the students develop activities that encourage girls to try new things outside of the classroom (art, music, dancing, yoga, journaling, etc.). "Sister-to-Sister" also focuses on discussions of such topics as body image, relationships, and identity.
A national program originally conceived by the American Association of University Women, "Sister-to-Sister" works to develop strategies that support girls. The program recognizes that in addition to teachers and textbooks, achievement is affected by what happens in the hallways, between classes, and even outside of school. "Sister-to-Sister" strives to make a positive difference by giving a voice to the needs and interests of middle school girls. The program provides a "safe space" to talk about the challenges that girls face in this day and age. It enables girls to develop friendships with other girls, even if they don't go to the same school.
The program is supported by roughly 100 volunteers and financial sponsors such as Chellis House (Middlebury College's Women's Resource Center), Middlebury College's Center for Education in Action, Neat Repeats, and the National Bank of Middlebury. "Sister-to-Sister allowed me to get involved in the Middlebury community by connecting me with fellow students, faculty, and staff members, volunteers and most importantly, middle school girls," says Grace Giles, a Middlebury College graduate, who was involved with the program for three years. "Every generation represented in our sisterhood is experiencing the environment we live in through a different lens. When we communicate our perspectives, our lives become so much richer."
All events are free. To register or organize transportation, please contact Karin Hanta at ext. 5937 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

After four years of battling environmentalists, regulatory agencies and homeowners to obtain approval for a 78-slip marina on the New River, an Ohio developer has all the necessary permits.
Despite spending $125,000 for legal fees and marina plan changes to acquire the permits, a process that culminated last week with final permit approval by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, developer Peter Jensen said there are no immediate plans to build the marina.
According to terms of the Army Corps permit, Jensen must build within five years.
``Economics is the final thing beating the marina,`` Jensen said. ``There`s still some confusion about what`s going to happen when (Interstate) 595 is built. I just don`t know if the marina is an economically feasible concept at this point.``
The marina, proposed to cost about $2 million and include a yacht club, was hotly contested by residents of nearby Lauderdale Isles and the Save the Manatees Committee of the Audubon Society.
Marina critics said additional boats on the New River just east of State Road 7 would form a death trap for manatees and also would pollute other marine life.
The area of the New River where the marina is proposed joins the Dania Cutoff Canal as part of Broward`s state-designated manatee sanctuaries and is protected under the 1978 Florida Sanctuary Act.
Since Jensen`s proposal was made public in 1981, Lauderdale Isles homeowners had fought it, arguing the area was state-protected manatee territory. Jensen`s corporation owns 32 acres that was formerly in the city of Hacienda Village -- now Davie -- and is on the south bank of the New River.
In September 1983, at the height of the battle between Jensen and residents, the Lauderdale Isles Civic Improvement Association staged a mock funeral procession complete with seven Indians, two rowboats, a canoe and a manatee made of canvas.

Doug Menuez is an award winning photojournalist with 30 years of experience working in many arenas, including long term editorial projects and high profile advertising campaigns. Let's have a look at a recent campaign:
Yesterday, Doug launched a stock site- Menuez Archive Projects (and there's a party to celebrate later this week- see below) which puts to use the bounty of images he's amassed in his considerable career. As Doug says on his blog: Menuez Archive Projects is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and chance to leverage all my years of work, and create a solid new platform to build on for the future phases of my career.
Interesting, let's hear more from Doug on this project:
Menuez Archive Projects, or MAP, is not just about stock per se, although our first priority is rights-managed commercial advertising. As we launch and grow the collection, it will also include editorial and fine-art imagery, but also have legs in education, documentary film, and other components. This was very attractive to potential business partners as we developed a plan to bring a high-touch, boutique collection of work to what has become a growing (and underserved) niche market in high-end advertising. The range of my work also means that as we scan and develop the archive we are constantly adding tremendous value that does not go away, even as markets change.
Tell me about the "guest curator" part of the archive.
It was important for us to engage with the community in addition to the traditional social networking sites. To that end, we are rolling out a Guest Curator section of the site that allows for invited guests to create a selection of images that connect to them for a particular reason, almost like an iTunes Celebrity Playlist. We think it's a great way to view images with an entirely different set of eyes. Themes that may escape us or our editing team become very apparent when viewed by a writer, painter, or even art buyer unencumbered by the grind of trying to find a specific image on a tight deadline.
How is the archive going to be marketed—who will be the specific target client for these images?
We're doing personal sales calls, trade advertising, all the social networking stuff, direct mail, email blasts, SEO, special gifts to our top clients and some selected trade shows. And Stockland Martel, my agents for assignment will also market a curated selection of my images. The target is creatives and designers looking for memorable and compelling images not widely seen before to help differentiate their brands from the typical look-alike stock offerings.
I talked earlier about an underserved market [in high end stock] out there, and I hear it every day when I talk to Creative Directors and Art Producers for assignment jobs. There is an entire universe of people out there who are unhappy with the current stock photo world's race to the bottom and generic look and feel. It's also a reality that assignment budgets have been trimmed for years and many creatives are forced to license stock and aren't happy with what they're finding.
We've built an amazing team and are committed to collaborating with clients and going into the archives to find the right image for their next campaign. For us, it's about exclusive access to unique images from a singular point of view that aren't available everywhere—this gives them more control of their message.
How did you deal with the idea of reselling images shot on assignment for other clients? This is likely a naive question, but I'm curious about where the lines are drawn on this. Is there a time period after which anything is fair game? Can you use only outtakes?
Not naïve at all, a key question, and requires some background. We are blessed with U.S. copyright laws that protect creators, so all our work is based on licensing what we are hired to shoot for a given period of time. Occasionally, we will do buyouts of specific images when properly compensated and when it makes sense, such as a car project that is automatically dated by the car. But generally, my policy has been to follow and fight for the accepted trade practice where the rights to everything revert to me after the license is up. We can then resell those images.
The practical reality is more complex in that we have relationships with our clients going back years, in some cases decades, and their needs are paramount and considered in every decision. Typically, corporations change their marketing direction every few years. The life span of a marketing director now is around 16-18 months, and when a new marketing director arrives, sometimes they change agencies and the images they commissioned two years ago are no longer appropriate anyway, whether they owned them or licensed them. And sometimes we get clients who re-license images for long periods—five years and more. So this is a fluid, always-changing situation, and we pay careful attention to the status of each project and image. Because my images were shot to be timeless with the focus on basic human storytelling, the majority of my work remains fresh as it becomes available for resale. Of course, we are constantly shooting new material to update the archive also as we go forward.
Tell me about the party on Feb. 18. Also, is it open to the public?
We are launching our new site on February 14th and wanted to celebrate by making love last a little bit longer this year. It's our valentine to the creative community. To announce the launch, we're having a party at our new West Chelsea studio on February 18th. The party is open to the public, but please let us know if you're coming (RSVP to email@example.com)—our RSVP list is growing by the moment. Aside from the food and drink, we are presenting a show of work culled from my archive on the theme of love observed.
Here's the invite:
I like the idea of having a guest curator and was eager to do a little curation of my own. It was a last minute thing since the stock site just launched last night. Because I wasn't able to find any images with the keywords "Gold in Canada", I used the phrase "Family Day" (holiday in Ontario today). Definitely some nice stuff (along with a few dated pieces too- I guess that's part of the reality of dealing with 30 years worth of images. In theory, the shots that I liked could be reshot in a more contemporary context- would the same stock fees apply in that case? Not sure.) Here are some gems:
If you're a shooter like Doug it certainly makes sense to try and leverage your archive and even better to hook up shoots for yourself. Doug recently went to Miami just to shoot work for MAP including a great party series- not sure if they're all model released or how you go about getting young people at a real house party to sign releases but the shots are for sure sell-able.
I think Doug is right that there is a market for really good stock photography that still isn't being met by the big stock houses. And, in theory, if you're an AB who likes Doug's style (or, if you like Doug and have that personal connection), why not check out his archive first? But I also think that the key to the success of MAP will be the new work- no matter how good the angle is, dated lifestyle does not sell. Sounds like this is a solid part of Doug's business plan- he has every intention to continue self-assigning work and building the the archive.
I've always wondered how much success photographers have from their individual stock sites, we'll have to check back and see how it goes for Doug and MAP.
And, for more on Doug and MAP check out Miki Johnson's thorough post on Resolve.

- People in FCW have been told that developmental is changing for the better, with a different structure, and a different schedule. There is some concern in FCW about what is happening since Tom Prichard was released as head trainer with no explanation on his departure given to those there.
Under Triple H, the idea is to structure the entire developmental process and talent relations like WWE is a major sports company.
- As noted before, Kelly Kelly is taking some time away from WWE but some people do not expect her to return. The ATA Agency that is representing Kelly are pitching her for scripted TV shows as well as a potential reality TV show. Kelly also had offers come her way from placing high on the Maxim Hot 100 list this year.
It's notable that WWE didn't give her a full contract release but they aren't thrilled that she has someone else pitching her for outside gigs.

Cape Kiwanda - The shape of waves
The good weather extended through the next morning at Bandon Beach. (Merit, Digital Travel, N4C Oct 2012)
Our last full day gave us lots of sun, and we stopped at many of the places we had to pass by on the trip down. Cape Blanco Lighthouse had daisies in the lawn.
Yellow lupine at Coquille River Lighthouse and Bullard's Beach.

After the wonderful trip to the falls, we returned to Shore Acres; the sun came out a bit and the surf was up. (Merit, Travel Print, N4C Sept 2012)
Sea Star at Warp Speed
The next morning we headed south into northern California to the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Natural Area. The fog in the redwoods gave us eerie mist and spectacular crepuscular beams, or "god beams," coming through the trees.

Well after sunset, it was almost too dark to see. But a 30 second exposure was enough to catch some details in the rock.

Sun and Fog in the Redwoods (HM Travel Print, N4C Feb 2013; Honorable Mention, Best of N4C 2013)

Photography Business Management Tips | Crucial Tips to Broaden your Photography Business Expertise
Photography Business Management Tips | Are you prepared to run a business first and be a photographer second? Sometimes, turning your hobby into a profession can kill the passion pretty fast, but only if you let it occur. That is why it is vital to learn at least a bit of the business part of your photography as well, and make things a lot easier for you. Good business skills are also a talent and some great photographers also have great business skills but it's logically not too common. Whether you're scheduling to start a photography business or already function as a part-time or full-time pro, you must wear two caps to be successful: a skilled and knowledgeable photographer and a business owner, and just because you're a professional in your field doesn't mean that you have what it takes to be a business owner.

Follow your Business Plan | Photography Business Management Tips
While many business owners identify that a business plan is important, they don't often realize just how important it is. While having a business plan cannot guarantee success, for some businesses it can make the difference amongst success and failure. Don't wait until you have the flawless business plan. It will never be flawless. Cover the most important points that will let you to hit the ground running and overcome the biggest difficulties. You will add to it and evolve later.

Poor planning often causes the death of many great thoughts. In order to ensure that your business thoughts do not result in failure, a business plan can help keep a business on target and ensure that you're spending money efficiently to keep things moving.
Create your Marketing Plan | Photography Business Management Tips
A marketing plan is essentially a way to lay out (to plan) the marketing for your business, your products, and/or your services. It covers everything from information about your target market to definite step-by-step processes you will use to build certain marketing systems and strategies. All businesses rely on clients to keep them afloat; with no clients there is really not much reason to be in business. Attracting clients will be one of the biggest challenges that you will face as a business which is why you need to have an effective marketing plan.
There is no point in starting a business, and then finding you have no clients. Leading the public to your business will create a demand for your product or services and effective marketing will assist you with lead-on ideas for future specialized services or products.
Update your Online Portfolio | Photography Business Management Tips
Keeping your portfolio up to date will make sure that it replicates change and improvements in your photography. Keep your portfolio fresh and reflective of your particular style and niche. Remember that you are using your portfolio to influence someone to book you over anyone else in their area. One of the most beneficial things a portfolio can bring to your business is the chance to land new clients. If your photo business is motionless and you seemingly can't land new gigs, the best option is to update and improve your portfolio where you will show off all your skills.
Being a photographer, you certainly have lots of photographs taken by you but that doesn't at all mean that you should put as many photographs on the front page of your website. Select the best shots for your clients to take a glance and get the idea of your photography skills.

Business Consistency | Photography Business Management Tips
You achieve consistency by doing the same thing in the same way so it creates exactly the same result each and every time you do it. For your clients to be able to expect consistency of service or product, you must be able to clearly identify the fundamentals that make up consistency in your business. With consistency, professionalism, proper planning of strategies, and alignments with the experts, you can run a top-notch prosperous business. Don't reinvent the wheel, or ever find yourself saying that your business is different, and that you don't have to follow that rule.
Photography Business Management Tips | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
Remember that every business that has ever existed started with zero motion. Success comes from a combination of motion and hard work – and the motion comes from consistency. If you combine the hard work with consistent action, you'll go places.
It makes good sense to delegate some of the work to people who are good at it. You will have additional time to do what you are good at – and love – which is being behind the camera.

Do-it-yourselfers can find ideas for shabby chic cottage decor through decorating websites, like HGTV and magazines like Style at Home and Country Living. These magazines also maintain websites with the same name where readers can find decorating tips and ideas.
Once a homeowner has decided on the style she wants to emulate, it is helpful to review ideas from multiple sources like magazines and websites. Both of these media are staffed by experts with years of experience in design and decorating.
Some sites, like HGTV, show ideas in the form of before-and-after pictures, and a gallery of photos with specific shabby chic elements highlighted. This can include incorporating a mix of china with different vibrant, but elegant patterns at the dinner table.
Others, like Country Living, show stream of photos highlighting elements of shabby chic in a room with a brief blurb about that decorating. For instance, readers may see a slideshow for doing a kitchen up in shabby chic cottage decor.
Those DIYers who want to get easy, quick tips for shabby chic decorating ideas can check out something like a list of ideas in a traditional article. For instance, Style at Home often has lists of specific shabby chic ideas to incorporate into a cottage home.

Iranian TV and other media say an American drone aircraft has been captured after entering the country's airspace.
US denies Iran claims over 'spy drone' capture
US denies Iran claims over 'spy drone' capture
They say the unmanned ScanEagle aircraft was gathering information over the Persian Gulf when it strayed into Iranian territory. It is said to have been captured by a Revolutionary Guards naval unit sometime in the last few days but gave no details about how it happened.
However the US navy has denied losing any drones over the Gulf recently.
In November Iran complained to the UN that repeated US violations of its airspace were "illegal and provocative acts".
Last year Tehran claimed it captured a CIA spy drone after it entered Iranian airspace from its eastern borders with Aghanistan and Pakistan.
The Americans initially said it had become lost before admitting the drone had been monitoring Iranian military and nuclear facilities.

This waterfront spot in Rolling Mill Hill has the layout of an MTV Cribs home -- just look at its six vintage bowling lanes, dining room, lounge and outdoor courtyard. While the food is indeed tasty (after all, Catbird Seat veteran Josh Habiger helms the kitchen), people seem to gravitate to Pinewood for the social scene: it's a see-and-be-seen kind of place, which goes hand-in-hand with the pool, bocce ball field, and the strong cocktails.

Unfortunately, people are subject to confirmation bias.It is no secret that the human mind has been positively influenced through the years to seek affirmation to belief while ignoring evidenced to the contrary. Even Darwin admitted to such difficulty of reason. A billboard would only incite a backlash. After all, what could you say that would be taken as anything but balderdash by the opposition?Even this board, as much as it claims to be devoted to the scientific method, has shown a reluctance to engage in the idea (scientifically valid as far as science can go) of the fact that there is no evidence of free will- all the while never offering evidence to the contrary.What one should do is to seek evidence that they are wrong. It isn't usually hard to find. So let me ask you this-Do you claim that your worldview is the result of your decision to know better?Such a claim is unsupportable.k

Psychology Student Survival Guide - PDF
Based on my experiences as a student and then a lecturer in psychology I've put together a survival guide for psychology students. In producing the Psychology Student Survival Guide I've kept one main thought in mind; namely, if I was to go through my psychology education again - beginning when I first started considering studying psychology, right through to graduation and beyond - what information and resources would I most like to have at my disposal? The primary aim of the Psychology...

oa South African Journal of Bioethics and Law - Compulsory testing of alleged sexual offenders - implications for human rights and access to treatment
Rape is a major criminal and public health problem in South Africa. Not only does it inflict major trauma on the victim, but it also affects the integrity and dignity of the victim and puts him or her at risk of contracting various sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
This paper proceeds with the current definition of rape, the provisions of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007 and the arguments relating to compulsory HIV testing of perpetrators, and post-exposure prophylaxis for rape victims/survivors. It reviews the legal and ethical issues relating to compulsory HIV testing of perpetrators, as well as the access to antiretroviral treatment of rape victims and perpetrators if they are diagnosed with HIV infection.
It concludes that compulsory testing may provide a feeling of reassurance to victims/survivors but does not protect them from infection, since they have to take all the necessary precautions that they would otherwise have taken had they not demanded the HIV test of the perpetrator.

Christy Clark's plan to eliminate free speech and destroy unions...
All in the name of destroying the public education system in BC, I guess.
In Georgia, the Tea Party has joined with the Occupy movement to fight a bill that would place severe restrictions on workers' right to protest and the collection of union dues.
"This is an extreme attack on our basic democratic rights. It's also an attempt to bankrupt and destroy our unions."
Funny, but that sounds like Christy Clark's plan too.
