For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, you shall not have the right to cancel or terminate the Agreement other than in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2 below.
2.2. Without prejudice to Money20/20's rights set out in Sections 6 or 7 below, either party has the right at any time to terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice to the other in the event that the other: (i) has committed a material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement (including a failure to pay any amounts due under this Agreement) and has not remedied any such breach (if capable of remedy) within fourteen (14) days of being required to do so by written notice; or (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a petition seeking any reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any applicable law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief for debtors, or the admission by such other party of its inability to pay debts as they mature, or the making by such other party of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the taking of similar action for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) suffers the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of an order, judgment, or decree approving a petition filed against such other party seeking any reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any applicable law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors and the expiration of the period, if any, allowed by applicable law in which to appeal therefrom.

2.4. Termination of this Agreement by either party for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights or obligations that may have accrued as at the date of such termination.
3. ASSIGNMENT OF EXHIBITION SPACE AND EVENT RIGHTS: In exchange for a stand-alone exhibit fee or for an exhibit fee included as part of Sponsorship Fee (in either case, referred to herein as the "Exhibit Fee"), Money20/20 shall provide Exhibitor with an assigned exhibition space for the duration of the Event. Where the Exhibitor informs Money20/20 prior to entering into this Agreement, that there is a specific exhibition space that is desired, Money20/20 shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate that specific exhibition space to the Exhibitor. However, Exhibitor acknowledges and agrees that Money20/20 cannot guarantee availability of any preferred exhibition space. Money20/20 reserves the right to assign, or relocate, exhibition areas or reconfigure the exhibition area for the betterment of the Event or otherwise in its sole discretion with no liability to you provided the exhibition area continues to be substantially similar to the exhibition area as originally presented to the Exhibitor. Without limiting any of the foregoing, exhibition space assignments may be revoked by Money20/20 at any time, including onsite during the Event, upon breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Exhibition space assignment shall be conditional on payment in full of all amounts due hereunder or under any other contract with Money20/20. The exhibition space assigned to Exhibitor is for the use of the named Exhibitor only. Exhibition space sharing in whole or in part with any third party is expressly prohibited.
4. OPERATION OF EXHIBITS: Displays in exhibition spaces must be designed and operated in a manner that respects the rights of other Exhibitors and attendees. Displays shall not block or obstruct the view of a neighboring Exhibitor. All lighting within the exhibition space must be arranged and operated so as not to be distracting to adjacent Exhibitors. Exhibitor, together with any employee, agent or independent contractor of Exhibitor, will conduct itself/himself/herself in a manner lending proper dignity, decorum and professionalism to the Event. Money20/20 may, in its sole discretion, remove Exhibitor, or any employee, agent or independent contractor of Exhibitor, from the premises for behavior that Money20/20 determines in its sole discretion to be inappropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, the following activities are expressly prohibited in exhibition spaces: preparation of food or beverages, promotional contests that require physical skill, unauthorized taking of photographs, derogatory advertisements of other Exhibitors, competitive or like-mannered businesses, or activities (including, but not limited to, materials promoting Exhibitor's attendance at the Event) which would be deemed inaccurate, defamatory, abusive, profane or offensive by a reasonable person. Exhibitor warrants to Money20/20 that it is legally entitled by ownership or license to use the items exhibited or materials relating to the activities carried out in exhibition space, and that the same shall not infringe the rights of any third party, or otherwise be unlawful, or be detrimental to Money20/20 or its general commercial interests. Exhibitor indemnifies Money20/20 against all costs, expenses, damages, claims, losses and liabilities suffered or incurred by Money20/20 as a result of the Exhibitor carrying out any of the aforementioned prohibited activities or breaching the aforementioned warranty. Money20/20 reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to exclude the showing of any products in the exhibition area that are deemed objectionable. Exhibitor is responsible for payment of fees, royalties or fines for use of any third-party work that is protected by copyright, patent or trademark. Exhibition space must be staffed by at least one member of the Exhibitor's employees at all times during scheduled exhibition hours. Unless prior written permission is received from Money20/20, all Exhibitor personnel must be 21 years of age or older. Exhibitor personnel must be dressed appropriately and confine their activities on behalf of Exhibitor to the exhibition space of Exhibitor. Any food or beverage that is distributed at exhibition spaces may be subject to additional fees from the Event venue. Distribution of certain food and beverage items may be prohibited and advance approval is required. Operation of exhibition spaces is subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the Event venue and Exhibitor hereby acknowledges and agrees with the terms thereof, a copy of which has been made available to Exhibitor. The Exhibitor shall ensure that the exhibition space is left in good order and in a clean condition at the end of the Event and in accordance with the aforementioned rules and regulations, provided that in the event of any failure to do so, Money20/20 may elect to carry out these obligations and has sole discretion to dispose of any items remaining at the exhibition space and Exhibitor shall be liable to Money20/20 for any costs so incurred in doing so.
5. TERMS OF PAYMENT: Payment of the Exhibit Fee is due in accordance with and as stated in the applicable invoice sent by Money20/20 to Exhibitor.
6. DEFAULT BY EXHIBITOR: Exhibitor acknowledges and agrees that actual occupancy of the exhibition space reserved by the Exhibitor is of the essence of this Agreement during and throughout the Event. In the event that Exhibitor does not occupy its allocated exhibition space by the opening time on the first day of the Event, Money20/20 may occupy, re-allocate to a third party or cause said space to be occupied in its sole discretion without in any way releasing the Exhibitor from any liability hereunder. Furthermore, if Exhibitor does not occupy and staff its allocated exhibition space in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all rights of Exhibitor to such exhibition space shall terminate and Exhibitor shall be obliged to pay the full Exhibit Fee, with any outstanding sums payable by the Exhibitor within fourteen (14) days. Exhibitor acknowledges and agrees that Money20/20 will likely sustain losses if Exhibitor cancels its commitment for some or all of its assigned exhibition space. Accordingly, Exhibitor shall forfeit the full amount of its Exhibit Fee in the event that Exhibitor cancels its commitment for some or all of its assigned exhibition space. Each party acknowledges and agrees, after taking into account the terms of this Agreement and all relevant circumstances at the date hereof, that the forfeiting of such Exhibit Fee represents a reasonable and genuine pre-estimate of the damages which would be suffered by Money20/20 in the event of Exhibitor's cancellation and does not constitute a penalty. In addition, any fees included within the Exhibit Fee (or any sponsorship fee) for any attendees of Exhibitor who do not attend the Event, for any reason, are not reimbursable, in whole or in part.
7. CANCELLATION OF EXHIBITION SPACE BY MONEY20/20: Exhibition space may be canceled by Money20/20 for failure to make payments when due or failure by Exhibitor to comply with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. If exhibition space is so canceled by Money20/20, Exhibitor shall forfeit all payments made and Money20/20 shall have the right to reassign such canceled space to another exhibitor in its sole discretion without mitigation of such forfeited amounts.
8. ALTERATION OR CANCELATION OF EVENT BY MONEY20/20: It may be necessary for Money20/20 to alter the advertised content, timing, date and/or location of the Event. Money20/20 reserves the right to do this at any time during the Term and without liability to Exhibitor, provided that the Event, as altered, is substantially similar to the Event as originally advertised. Money20/20 will provide Exhibitor with notice of any alterations as soon as is reasonably practicable. In the event that Money20/20 cancel the Event (pursuant to this Section 8) or materially alter the advertised content, timing, date and/or location of the Event, Money20/20 shall notify the Exhibitor thereof as soon as reasonably practicable and the Exhibitor shall be entitled to either: (i) a credit for a future event held by Money20/20 of your choice (up to the value of the Exhibit Fee paid by Exhibitor in respect of the Event); or (ii) terminate this Agreement with immediate effect and obtain a refund (calculated by Money20/20 in good faith) of an amount that reflects the total sums paid by Exhibitor at the date of cancellation minus the value of any rights received by Exhibitor prior to the date of cancellation (e.g. in relation to your Promotional Package). Any such refund shall be paid by Money20/20 within 60 days upon written request.
9. ATTENDANCE: Money20/20 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to market the Event and attract attendees, but does not guarantee specific levels of attendance at the Event or any particular exhibition space location. Money20/20 makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding attendance levels at the Event.

Windows 7 HomeGroups Simplify Home Networking
Networking home computers and sharing resources like files and printers has been possible in some way, shape, or form pretty much since Windows has existed. Microsoft has made great progress with Windows XP and Windows Vista, but for many users home networking is still part skill, and part blind luck, with a healthy dose of black magic thrown in for good measure.
With Windows 7 Microsoft has gotten it right. HomeGroups greatly simplify the process of sharing resources between networked home computers and it enhances security at the same time to prevent unauthorized access to those same shared resources.
This Springboard Series blog provides an in-depth look at Windows 7 HomeGroups and how they work. I particularly like this description of Microsoft's model for HomeGroup security:
"Microsoft modeled HomeGroup security after the way most people secure their homes. They tend to secure the outer perimeter (doors, windows, and so on) but leave interior doors unlocked. They also tend to allow free access to the documents and media within the household. As a result, HomeGroup secures the perimeter with the homegroup password. Joining a homegroup by using the password gives you full access to the interior, including all of the documents and media in the homegroup that are in shared libraries."

Techniques for Securing Low-Cost Embedded Devices
There have been many recent advancements in embedded security, with many new devices offering a large number of security features. Many system developers can't make use of these devices due to cost or other considerations such as the existence of a legacy codebase, but that doesn't mean they can't improve the security of their system. This session focuses on techniques that can be applied to devices without special security hardware, such as the bulk of microcontrollers (MCUs) available on the market today. We begin by looking at fundamental limitations of these systems and establishing some boundaries for what can and cannot be done with these systems. Next, we explore general best practices for creating secure systems. We will discuss situations in which we can mitigate side channel attacks against un-hardened Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) implementations. Finally, we will discuss techniques for protecting the integrity of device contents and allowing controlled debug access for diagnosing field failures.

Another week and a new meal prep video. Instead of cooking meals, I like to prepare ingredients to make putting meals together simple during the week. I like cooking fresh meals each day, so I pretty much always cook dinner, with the exception of bean or curried dishes as they taste better once they sit for a day. This week's menu is as follows:
I added my list of groceries and headed to the store. Once home, I made a list of what I needed to prep for a quick and organized Sunday. I filmed my meal prep, video is below:
Cooking Tips
- Leave chicken to brine for at least an hour, but no more than 2.5 hours
- Frequently check roasting vegetables, flavor is lost if overcooked
- For eggs, I heat water with eggs until it boils, then turn off and let sit covered for 13 minutes
- I freeze extra rice in two portions in Ziplock bags
Banana Nut Oatmeal (link will be active tomorrow)
Chicken Brine
1/2 c Salt
1/2 c Sugar
1 tblsp Pepper
3 tblsp Mrs. Dash Onion & Herb Seasoning
3 Cloves Garlic
2 Quarts Water
1. Dissolve sugar and salt in water
2. Marinate chicken in brine for no more than 2 hours and 30 minutes
3. Remove chicken from brine and cook as desired
Protein Bars
5 tblsp Creamy Peanut Butter
2 c Rolled Oats
1/2 c Almond milk
4 Servings Protein Powder
1. Mix ingredients thoroughly
2. Flatten mixture on parchment paper
3. Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for one hour
4. Once set, divide bars and store

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A car bomb exploded outside the Danish Embassy in an upscale area of the Pakistani capital Monday, killing at least six people, according to reports from hospitals.
A senior official at the Interior Ministry, Rehman Malik, said one foreigner was among the dead, but he did not give a nationality. Casualty lists posted at two hospitals said that six people had died and more than 20 had been injured. Mr. Malik said police were investigating whether the blast was a suicide attack.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
The bomb was the second effort to target foreigners in Islamabad in the last few months and came as the civilian government has signed a series of peace deals with Islamic militants in the nation's tribal areas.
The blast, heard around the city at about 1 p.m., left a deep crater outside the embassy and badly damaged the exterior of the building in an area that has many diplomatic residences, schools and a nearby shopping center. The bomb left a trail of wrecked cars parked in the neighborhood and smashed the facades of nearby houses.
Several European bomb experts who examined the blast site said that the bomb appeared to have contained about 50 kilograms of explosives and created a crater about a meter deep.Continue reading the main story
A nearby building housing the United Nations Development Program was seriously damaged and a Brazilian woman employed by the aid agency was reported to have been badly injured.
The attack Monday was the first time that a foreign embassy had been targeted in Islamabad in recent years, a senior Western diplomat said.
The blast was certain to increase unease in the foreign community. The United States and other Western embassies have already instructed diplomats not to bring their children into the country.
"My gut feeling, without much information," a Western ambassador who declined to be identified said, is that Islamic radicals "are putting pressure on the Western community, the people trying to help Pakistan."
The police offered no immediate details on how the device was detonated. Officials at the scene said two of those killed were Pakistani security guards.
Per Stig Moller, foreign minister of Denmark, immediately condemned the attack. "There are fanatics and terrorists out there and we do what we can do protect ourselves from them," he told Denmark's TV2 News.
"There's nothing that indicates that our security measures were inadequate. The Pakistanis have also done more to raise security levels, but a terrorist can slip through all the same. I can't explain at this moment why this is possible — that's what I need to find out."
Helle Thorning-Schmidt, leader of the opposition Social Democrats, called on the Pakistani government to take immediate action. "We expect the Pakistani government to do everything in its power to arrest and to prosecute the guilty ones. The terrorist can not be allowed to get away with their cowardly acts."
The Danish Embassy was known to be concerned about its security after Danish newspapers reprinted cartoons satirizing the Prophet Muhammad in February.
In late 2005, Danish newspapers published similar cartoons, sparking widespread street demonstrations in early 2006 in the Middle East and threats of boycotts of Danish products by Muslim countries.
Anxiety among foreigners about security in Islamabad escalated last year after the army assaulted the Red Mosque, killing nearly 100 Islamic militants holed up there.
The attack on the mosque provoked intensified round of suicide bomb attacks in Pakistan.
A bomb thrown over the fence of an Italian restaurant in Islamabad on a Saturday night in March when many foreigners were eating on the terrace injured five American employees of the F.B.I.
That blast caused many foreign embassies to take new precautions and beef up security. The biggest embassies in Islamabad are located in a gated compound reserved entirely for foreign missions. The Danish embassy was several miles from that compound.
The new civilian government in Pakistan is likely to come under increasing pressure from Western governments to pay more attention to the mounting threat from Islamic militants who control much of the nation's tribal areas.
Until now, the government which was elected in February has spent most of its time arguing about whether to restore 60 judges who were fired by President Pervez Musharraf last November.
The government has agreed to peace deals with the Pakistani Taliban in the tribal region in the last few weeks, a move that has been criticized by the Bush administration on the grounds it gave too much latitude to the militants.
Political observers in Denmark said Monday the bombing would unsettle Danish society, which has found itself under the unwanted spotlight of a perceived culture war between Islam and the West.
"This is almost certain to harden skepticism to radical Islam in the Danish population," said Ralf Pittelkow, author of a book on Islam and a leading commentator at Jyllands-Posten, the newspaper that provoked the fury of some in the Muslim world by publishing the cartoons caricaturing the Prophet Muhammad. "People feel shaken by this. It is yet more evidence that we can't hide from a dangerous world."
Mr. Pittelkow did not expect a violent backlash against Denmark's Muslim community. But he warned that the recent spurt of Muslim extremism against Denmark — including death threats against the cartoonists who caricatured the prophet — would embolden the far-right Danish People's Party, which has 13 percent of seats in the Danish Parliament and has pushed through some of the toughest anti-immigration rules on the continent.
He said the Danish government, which has been reaching out to the Muslim world since the cartoon crisis erupted, would likely be redoubling its public diplomacy aimed at dispelling myths about Danish democracy in the Arab countries.
Other commentators said the bombing was not a total surprise, given how Islamists in Pakistan in recent years had seized upon the cartoons as a pretext to express their discontent with the West.
"Islamists in Pakistan had been using Denmark as a pretext for protesting against the new pro-western government," said Jakob Nielsen, a commentator for Politiken, a leading center-left newspaper. "We have become a convenient scapegoat."Continue reading the main story

Staff Reporter- Washington Business Journal
The District is relatively new to legal firearms, so the billboard soon to be placed on a downtown D.C. apartment building may come as a shock, or perhaps, as a welcome sign.
But no matter your worldview on firearms or gun control (or the visceral reaction given recent mass shootings in Wisconsin and Colorado), the advertisement for a Washington-area shooting seminar will be hard to ignore at 50 feet tall and 20 feet wide.
"Hey D.C., it's time for your first shot," the billboard will read, according to permit documents. "First Shots, an introduction to shooting."
The so-called special sign (so-called because only a handful of buildings in the District are allowed to host billboards) will be attached to the Massachusetts House luxury apartments at 1234 Massachusetts Ave. NW, according to a sign permit awarded Aug. 3.
FirstShots.org is an arm of the Newtown, Conn.-based National Shooting Sports Foundation. The organization will host a "big city tour" in the Washington area Aug. 24-28, to give "newcomers an opportunity to give shooting a try." First Shots partners with gun ranges to offer a "hands-on seminar about the sport of handgun shooting." Firearms and ammunition will be provided, for those non-gun owners.
"You'll learn safety," according to the FirstShots website. "You'll fire a handgun. You'll feel the thrill of what millions enjoy as their favorite pastime."
Of course, none of those ranges are in the District (the sites are in Chantilly, Lorton, Warrenton and Midland in Virginia and Waldorf in Maryland). And buying a gun in D.C., while possible, remains a trial. Also, for most residents, sporting a handgun outside of the home is illegal.
But District residents are allowed to own handguns, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court's 2009 Heller ruling. Since the Heller decision, the Metropolitan Police Department has registered roughly 2,500 handguns, rifles and shotguns.
Maybe the billboard is more aimed at D.C. commuters than D.C. denizens. But it is a sign of the times.Read the full story from the Washington Business Journal.

NYT: Text Messaging "Virtually No Cost" to Carriers
Hear the scorn of a million parents cry out in righteous anger: despite recently increasing basic text messaging rates from ten cents to twenty across the board, NYT reveals that Carriers pay roughly nothing.
The meat of the NYT article:
Perhaps the costs for the wireless portion at either end are high — spectrum is finite, after all, and carriers pay dearly for the rights to use it. But text messages are not just tiny; they are also free riders, tucked into what's called a control channel, space reserved for operation of the wireless network.
That's why a message is so limited in length: it must not exceed the length of the message used for internal communication between tower and handset to set up a call. The channel uses space whether or not a text message is inserted.
So, if text messaging is piggybacking on signals that get used anyway, why the hell do we pay for it? How many tweens have been grounded based on corporate greed? How many sidekicks shunned in the name of the almighty dollar? And how did they get the chutzpah to increase the going rate for a text message despite its complete lack of skin off of their back? Makes me (and my blackberry) kind of angry. Down with the Cellular Bourgeoisie! The Revolution will not be fit into 160 characters! Or, would a flash mob be more appropriate in this case?

Did you miss me? (Say you did, even if you didn't.)
Aw, how sweet! I missed you, too. It's been a long week.
But now I'm back, with several nuggets for your enjoyment. Before we jump in, let's have a look at a word in this post's title.
What a weird word. It's one of those words that, if you look at it for long enough or write it down so many times, it stops looking like a real word (even if you're not bothering with those special letters).
But it is one! Check out the following image (thanks, Google!) to learn about the word's roots.
Smörgåsbord has been used in its homeland of Sweden since roughly the 14th century, and it didn't become widely used among other nations until (according to Wikipedia, the one source you should never use as a source) the 20th century. But after five minutes of Internet searching, I couldn't find another solid claim as to when the word was first used, spelled "smorgasbord," in countries other than Sweden.**
On with the smorgasbord, readers. Or, as Jeopardy would call it:
Bill Cosby, Where'd Your Endorsements Go?
I'm sure you have, at the very least, heard about the rape allegations surrounding Bill Cosby. Chances are you've come across myriad headlines referring to one of the many cases.
Since the forty-plus allegations, Cosby has lost quite a bit of public support (boohoo). The accused rapist was dealt another blow last week when the publisher of last year's bestselling biography Cosby: His Life and Times pulled a number of celebrity endorsements from the book. Statements were made on the behalf of Jerry Seinfeld and David Letterman requesting that their quotes be removed from the cover. The biographer, Mark Whitaker, had this to say:
I was wrong to not deal with the sexual assault charges against Cosby and pursue them more aggressively … I am following new developments and will address them at the appropriate time. If true the stories are shocking and horrible.
Mmhmm. I'll leave my opinions about Cosby's case (mostly) to myself.
But here's a very interesting article relating to Cosby, if you'd like to read more.
How Often Is XYZ English Word Used?
Well, don't ask me! I sure as H-E-double-hockey-sticks don't know. However, your question might get answered in the below video, which was created by Abacaba using this data.
Katy Perry's Grammar Sucks
Not very news-breaking that Perry's tweets are riddled with grammatical errors that would make just about anyone cringe.
Last week, BuzzFeed helped us understand what Perry was really trying to say in the above tweet by pulling out the red pen and going to town.
Needless to say, it made me very happy.
Putin Has a Book Club…
…and it is way better than Oprah's. Because it enforces censorship, of course! Read more here and share your opinion on the literary plan Putin has put in place.
I hope you all got a chuckle or a grin out of this post. And if not, I'll just have to try harder next time, won't I?
**If you find an authoritative source answering the question of when smorgasbord was used for the first time outside of Sweden, I will give you something special. I'm not sure yet what it will be, but it will be freaking awesome.

-Wrapper - Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade

-Price - $4.65, $6.25 local
Appearance, Pre-light
This cigar is a long-filler, handmade, budget offering from the J.C. Newman company. Prelight, the Perla del Mar has a light cedar aroma to the wrapper. The foot smells of sweet tobacco and hay. The wrapper is a typical Connecticut color; a very light shade if brown. What isn't typical is that this cigar is box pressed, which is not very common for a Connecticut-wrapped cigar. The cold draw didn't reveal too much other than more of a light hay taste.
First 3rd
The first few puffs offer up cream and spice. They aren't very noticeable until the retro-hale, but the creaminess makes for a wonderful mouth-feel and the spice (which I'll call white pepper) is just enough to tingle my nose. The draw is very loose, but should be no problem as long as I keep my cadence on the slower side. I'm getting an interesting effect: the smoke is mild in body when it's in my mouth, but jumps to an almost mouth-coating medium body when I push it out my nose. Delightful!
Second 3rd
This Perla del Mar is a cigar with excellent construction. I'm outside on a breezy day, and the burn line is as straight as can be without being "perfect." The white pepper has subsided a bit in how much it bites, but the flavor remains. I'm also getting a naturally sweet tobacco taste that I first noticed pre-light to accompany the creaminess. At the halfway point the ash has finally fallen off, and the white pepper has started to transition into more of a baking spice, which I find in a lot of Nicaraguan cigars. The body, flavor, and strength have remained medium so far.
Last 3rd
In the last third a woodiness had appeared that is just what is needed at this point. The mellow transition from first light to final third has been an enjoyably slow creep into darker flavors. Some classic Connecticut hay flavors are showing up in the last two inches, and the finish is just now starting to get a little ashy. The cream returns at the very end with a touch of sweetness and makes for a great ending to a very good cigar.
I was pleasantly surprised with this wallet-friendly smoke! When you combine the price, flavors, transitions, and overall experience, it would be hard to find a better Connecticut cigar! I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys cigars, novice or aficionado.
Flavor - Medium
Strength - Medium
Body - Medium
Construction - Excellent

Steve Israel: A Door Closes, a Window Opens?
In politics, sometimes a step back can eventually lead to two steps forward.
New York Rep. Steve Israel (D) is hoping that axiom is true of his own career, which, until a few weeks ago was heading toward a challenge to appointed Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) in 2010.
"I had an announcement planned, a Web site designed, the money raised and the polling completed," said Israel in a recent interview with the Fix as part of our "Rising" series that looks at politicians to watch in the coming years.
Then, at exit 42 of the Northern State Parkway on Long Island -- Israel remembers the moment vividly -- he fielded a call from President Obama asking him not to run.
"I wouldn't have put it aside without an appeal from the president," explained Israel of his Senate bid. "It's not that difficult to suspend your plans when the president of the United States asks you to do so."
And so, Israel backed down -- leaving Gillibrand as the strong favorite to be the Democratic and nominee and himself with no obvious path to statewide office in the foreseeable future.
What then does the future hold for Israel, elected in 2000 in one of the most competitive seats in the country -- it was previously held by Rep. Rick Lazio (R) -- but now firmly entrenched and looking for new horizons?
If Israel has anything to do with it, he will play a far larger role in House Democrats' efforts to further expand their majority next November. He has been named the head of recruiting for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the 2010 election cycle.
Israel already has one major recruiting success under his belt.
As Israel tells it, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) called him on his cell phone shortly after Gov. David Paterson (D) announced that Gillibrand was the next Senator from New York and asked him to be the lead recruiter for the seat she was vacating.
The next day Israel was driving on the New York State Thruway, headed up to Albany to try to find a candidate for a seat where registered Democrats were outnumbered by 71,000 and where Republicans had quickly united behind state Assemblyman Joe Tedisco.
The candidate he found -- venture capitalist Scott Murphy -- went on to win the 20th district special election by a few hundred votes, a victory that robbed Republicans of much-needed momentum early in the election cycle.
"I love doing that," said Israel. "I love travel, love politics, love turning red seats blue."
Although Israel makes no mention of it, it's hard not to see his work on behalf of Murphy -- as well as other successful New York Democrats (Eric Massa, Mike McMahon, Dan Maffei) -- as a sign to party leadership that he would be very interested in chairing the DCCC after Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.) steps aside after the 2010 cycle.
Israel's fate lies in the hands of Pelosi, since the Speaker appoints the DCCC chair.
And, that could be a problem as Israel's relationship with the California Democrat has been less than stellar in the past; he backed Rep. Steny Hoyer (Md.) over Pelosi for House Minority Whip in October 2001, a move that "burned some bridges" according to the Almanac of American Politics.
Israel was effusive in his praise of Pelosi in our interview, calling himself a "huge fan" of hers and adding: "I am anxious to perform whatever mission she asks me to perform."
While Pelosi will make the ultimate decision, Israel's willingness to step aside in the Senate race has ensured that two very important people -- President Obama and White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel -- owe him one.

The Fix's favorite metaphor for Republicans running statewide in New Jersey is that of "Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown" (WP 2/4/09). Anyone know who came up with this analogy? Jennifer Duffy ? Paul Begala (CNN, 11/7/06) ? It's a good one.

Ok, a comment regarding this article: If I was Steve Israel, I would have chosen to run for the Senate seat as opposed to being a recruiter of candidates in the House. The Democratic nominee in NY would be the odds-on-favorite to win the election regardless of how tough the primary would be. Unless there is some dark horse that no one is aware of, the only Republican with any viability (who would actually want to be Senator --- let us not forget that Giulani and many others want to be governor) is former Governor Pataki. Secondly, none of these machinations will completely ensure that there won't be a primary; isn't Congresswoman McCarthy running? Finally, while President Obama and Chief of Staff Emanuel have a lot of strengths, political loyalty doesn't appear to be among them. Unlike Clinton and Bush II, I haven't seen many prominent politicos who help Obama become president who have later been the beneficiaries of the president's largese. For instance, Sen. John Kerry made Obama key-note speaker when in 2004 giving tremendous exposure to Obama when he was an obsure Illinois state legislator. When Obama became president, it was widely expected that Kerry would become secretary of state. That didn't happen. The position went to Obama's arch-nemesis in the primaries, Hillary Clinton instead. The same thing happened to Governor Tim Kaine who was passed over for the vice presidency for Joe Biden, a rival who had sharp criticism reserved for Obama in the primaries. Do you see a pattern here? Thus, I seriously doubt Obama's "owing Israel" a solid will ultimately lead to tangiable benefits for Israel.

Coleman just can't seem to deal rationally with the fact that Franken got more votes. With his prayer scrolls under his arm every morning, he bonk-bonk-bonks to God and asks for guidance, and apparently he hears God telling him to go on fighting even though he doesn't have a chance. A new low for the Sore Loser side of the GOP

This year we decided to change up our Christmas tree decor. You know how expensive that can be. The combination of new lights and decorations can add up to a lot of money and quickly. But we really wanted a new look, we wanted something rustic with a woodsy feel to it. And like last year, we are trying to keep the cost of Christmas decorating as inexpensive as possible. Which means we had to get creative in order to get a new look for our Christmas tree without breaking the bank.
P.S. My friends at Hometalk.com and CountryLiving.com are hosting a Home for Christmas blog hop! More details at the bottom of this post!

The history of our Club dates back to 1987 when a group of Ferrari owners in Hong Kong gathered together to form a club to share with like-minded friends their passion for the Prancing Horse. Over the past 30 years, our Club has grown organically from a handful of Ferrari owners into a sizeable group of Ferraristi with numerous gatherings throughout the year. Our Ferrari Owners' Club is officially recognized by and is a chapter of Ferrari S.p.A's International Ferrari Club.続き
As one would expect from a car enthusiast club, our members are passionate about driving. Many of the Club's activities revolve around driving our (mostly) red cars from Maranello, Italy. The Club organises regular overseas drives, track days and driving clinics. While it is the love of our Prancing Horses that bond our members together, social events is what makes this Club special. Our Club provides our members and their families a platform to make new Ferraristi friends through our monthly Sunday breakfast, gourmet experiences, annual dinners, charity activities and many other social events organised by the Club. The Club has a strong social conscience and we run charity days where our members share the joy of riding a Ferrari with others.
Let's have fun, and as they say in Italy, Forza Ferrari!
Dear fellow Members and Ferrari Friends,

Throughout the history of humankind, art and nature have gone hand-in-hand. At two nature parks in Hendricks County, the opportunities to blend artistic talent with Mother Nature continue to thrive.
I am the Assistant Superintendent with Hendricks County Parks & Recreation, and we operate McCloud Nature Park just outside of North Salem, Sodalis Nature Park in Plainfield, and a 4.5-mile stretch of the Vandalia Trail that runs from Amo through Coatesville to the Hendricks-Putnam County line, where it connects with People Pathways all the way to Greencastle.
Artwork on Display at McCloud Nature Park
We think nature is beautiful, and we love to see it immortalized in art. Paintings, photography, sculpture, drawings, quilting, crochet, jewelry... We don't care what medium. We just love to see nature and art come together.
To that end, our park naturalists display local artwork at the Nature Center at McCloud Nature Park. This gallery continues to proudly be a member of The Rural Routes to Main Street Cultural Trail, a self-directed driving tour with more than 30 stops in Hendricks, Morgan and Putnam counties.
Our naturalists take applications for artwork to be displayed, and each month, they choose a different artist and display their work.
April's featured artist is Jackie Curts, whose outstanding photography can be seen at Jackie Curts Photography on Facebook. McCloud now exhibits several of her wonderful photos, so we invite everyone to come out and admire her craft.
The Nature Center remains open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and beginning May 1, it will also be open on Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission to the park and the Nature Center is always free.
In addition to admiring Jackie's photos that hang in the Nature Center, be sure to check out our new interactive exhibit and pay special attention to the background photos. Jackie took those pictures, too!
Jackie taught a nature photography course at McCloud Nature Park last fall that immediately filled to capacity, and her second scheduled course in late April is also full. We're trying to talk her into doing another program this fall, so stay tuned!
May will feature a new artist, June will feature another one, and so on, giving visitors plenty of reason to come out to McCloud Nature Park again and again.
(Insider tip: A great way to see who the May artist is and to see their work is to come out to the free family-friendly McCloud 15th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, May 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.!)
Are you interested in having your own artwork considered for display at the Nature Center? Click here to learn more.
Plein Air Painting
Additionally, we unveiled a new program last summer called Plein Air ("open air") Painting at our parks, and it's back again this summer. Local artist Rachel Davis of The Purple Palette (pictured at the top of this post) teaches these programs at McCloud Nature Park and Sodalis Nature Park throughout the summer, and she takes care of all of the canvasses, paints, brushes and other supplies. All you have to do is register, show up and paint.
Rachel picks a spot at one of our parks, and then registered participants come and paint what they see while they enjoy the great outdoors. Rachel provides step-by-step instruction, and all levels of painting experience -- including no experience at all -- are welcome. Our park naturalists are also there to give you information about the park and what you're painting.
Each program costs $30 per person and lasts for about two hours. Participants take their paintings home at the end of the program.
Rachel's schedule for this summer is:
- Saturday, May 12, 10 a.m. at Sodalis Nature Park (click here to register)
- Saturday, June 9, 10 a.m. at McCloud Nature Park (click here to register)
- Saturday, July 14, 10 a.m. at Sodalis Nature Park (click here to register)
- Saturday, Aug. 11, 10 a.m. at McCloud Nature Park (click here to register)
More Art in the Parks
We have even more opportunities for art in the parks this summer.
- Create and decorate your own toad abode on May 12 at Sodalis Nature Park (click here to register).
- Show us your photography skills during the digital scavenger hunt and contest at our parks on June 23 (click here to learn more).
- Create some nail-and-string art on July 14 at McCloud Nature Park (click here to register).
- Make your own upcycled nature design T-shirt on Aug. 4 at McCloud Nature Park (click here to learn more).
Or bring your camera, your easel, your drawing book or whatever your medium of choice is out to our parks any day from dawn to dusk, and discover how you can blend art and nature.
Want to learn more about our parks? Visit our website or check us out on Facebook. We look forward to seeing you at McCloud Nature Park, Sodalis Nature Park and on the Vandalia Trail!

Claim Compensation for Clinical & Medical Negligence
Most of us put our health in the hands of medical professionals at various points during our lives, and while the majority of care we receive is of the highest quality, there is always a risk that something could go wrong. If this happens due to poor treatment or human error, it is imperative you are able to claim compensation for the pain and suffering caused.
The specialist clinical negligence solicitors at JMW are greatly experienced in helping people to successfully make a claim, providing professional, considered guidance throughout the process.
To speak to our expert team about your situation today, simply call us on 0800 054 6512 or allow us to call you back at a more convenient time by completing our online enquiry form. We are friendly and approachable solicitors, and a free, no-obligation conversation can help you better understand your position and the next steps you should take.
What Is Clinical Negligence?
Clinical negligence relates to the care provided by doctors and other healthcare professionals. If the treatment provided by such a professional represents a breach of the legal duty of care that the professional owes to the patient and this results in the patient suffering harm, it may be possible for a clinical negligence claim to be brought against the healthcare professional or their employer.
For a successful claim to be made, we need to show:
- The healthcare professional owed a duty of care to the patient
- This duty of care was breached
- This breach resulted in the patient being caused harm
- This harm resulted in damages or other losses

Why Making a Claim Is Important
Making a claim is often the only means of putting right the damage that has been caused by the negligence of a medical professional.
By claiming compensation, the victim is not only better able to cope with the injuries they have been left with, they are also compensated for any other financial losses they have suffered as a result of the mistakes made. These losses can be many and varied, and may include money lost due to being unable to work for a period of time or not being able to return to their previous job at all.
However, making a claim can achieve much more than securing compensation, and there is often more that we can help patients with that they may not realise. For instance, we can help to:
Hold those responsible to account: Patients and families injured by poor medical care often feel very angry and upset about what has happened to them. Bringing a medical negligence claim enables them to do something about their ordeal, with the support of a legal team fighting on their behalf.
Ensure someone says sorry: Sometimes, all a patient or family wants to hear is for someone to say "sorry, we made a mistake". In the course of a claim, we can often secure an apology for the patient or family, and while nothing can turn back the clock, an apology can help with the patient's recovery process.
Raise awareness: Many patients and families wish to raise awareness of what has happened to them by highlighting their case in the media. We can help those who want to speak out by managing all media involvement in their case. It is a brave step to take and can help the client to move on and help to prevent the same thing from happening to others.
Ensure lessons are learned: By bringing wrongdoing to the attention of those responsible via a claim, the subsequent investigation and potential financial implications can help to ensure lessons are learned.
Protect other patients: The bringing of a claim can result in safety being improved and steps taken to prevent the same thing from happening again.
How to Fund Your Claim
There are many different ways to fund your claim, and you can find out more about the various options available to you here.
GP Negligence
Although GPs generally provide excellent care, and although you may enjoy a good relationship with yours, it is imperative you are able to make a claim should their error or negligence create or worsen your injury or illness.
If you are the victim of medical negligence on the part of your GP, you should not let your relationship with them prevent you from making a claim in order to access the justice to which you are entitled. GPs are often our first port of call when we are ill or injured, but they are susceptible to errors just like any other medical professional, and the mistakes they make can result in serious health problems.
Our Expertise
We take a highly professional yet sensitive and personal approach to all of the cases we take on. Many of our clients approach us having been through very traumatic circumstances, and we therefore do all we can to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
Such is our standing that we have a Tier 1 ranking in legal industry guides Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500. The guides comment on our expertise in:
It also recognised that clients feel our firm has a 'wonderful blend between expertise and client empathy that has been simply first-class in every respect. The communication, degree of engagement, the time given to the case and their clear understanding of me as a layperson has been beyond courteous'.
Our head of department Eddie Jones is described as a leading brain and spinal injury expert, approachable, down-to-earth and very genuine.
Partners Sally Leonards and Melissa Gardner are also highly praised.
What is Medical Negligence?
Despite the fact that health care in this country is generally of a high standard occasionally things do go wrong. This is particularly true nowadays when treatments can be highly technical and complex and many different health care professionals are involved in the care of each patient. If the results of treatment are not as good as expected, or if complications have arisen, it does not automatically mean there has been a mistake or someone is to blame.
However, sometimes doctors and other health care workers do make mistakes that could have been avoided with more care, skill or organisation and this is called clinical (or medical) negligence. An operation may be incompetently performed, or a GP may fail to recognise the seriousness of symptoms or a baby may be damaged because of a mishandled birth.
Can I Claim Compensation?
If you have been harmed, either physically or mentally, because of the negligence of a health care professional, you may be able to claim compensation (damages). The harm needs to be serious enough to make it worth paying the costs of making a claim. In most case it is not worth pursuing legal action if the injury is fairly minor or if a rapid recovery is expected.
In cases such as these the cost of making a claim could be greater than the compensation. However, if there has been an admission of fault it may be worth pursuing a low value case. We can advise you on this.
How Much Compensation Could I Get?
There are many variables that can affect the amount of compensation you could hope to receive following a successful claim, including the type and severity of the negligence you have suffered, and the physical, financial and emotional impact it has had on your life. The compensation amount will also take into consideration any expenses you've incurred and your future care needs. As such, it is not possible to predict exactly how much compensation you will receive. To find out more, speak to our expert team of solicitors today, or take a look at our case studies.
What is the Process for a Clinical Negligence Claim?
Your first step in the claims process is simply to get in touch with our specialist team of clinical negligence lawyers. From there, you will have a one-to-one discussion with one of our experts who will assess your situation and decide the next best steps to take. Every clinical negligence claim is different and we thoroughly investigate all of the facts of your case, including reviewing your medical records, so we can provide you with the very best advice tailored to your personal situation. We will be there every step of the way to guide you through the process in a clear, jargon-free way to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Can You Sue the NHS For Medical Negligence?
If a medical mistake or accident was due to lack of judgement or incompetence by an NHS hospital, GP surgery, doctor, nurse, surgeon or other NHS healthcare professional, then you may be entitled to claim compensation for medical negligence. Suing the NHS can be a complicated process and so you will need the assistance and expertise of a medical negligence specialist solicitor to guide you through the process.
Is There a Time Limit on Medical Negligence Claims?
Legal action must be started within three years of the date you first knew, or could reasonably have been expected to know, that something had gone wrong with your medical treatment (this is called date of knowledge).
This will usually be quite soon after the operation or treatment has taken place, but occasionally it will not become obvious that an intervention has had long-term consequences until months, or sometimes years, after the event.
Specific Examples
- If the claimant is under 18, the three-year time limit only expires on his/her 21st birthday
- For people under a legal disability (i.e. those suffering from a mental disorder), no limitation period applies
- If someone has died because of negligence, the three-year time limit runs from the date of death
The courts strictly enforce time limits and it is only in exceptional circumstances that a Judge will exercise discretion to allow a case to be brought "out of time".
As it takes time to investigate a claim, it is a good idea to start proceedings well before the end of the limitation period. Also, the sooner the case is investigated, the more likely it is that documents will still be available and that people will be able to remember what happened.
How Long do the Claims Take?
We try and settle claims as quickly as possible in order to help you move forward with your life with the compensation you deserve. As every clinical negligence case is different there is no defined timescale as to how long a claim can take. Speak to your solicitor to find more about your claim.
