Why You Need an Experienced Lawyer to Negotiate Your Car Accident Claim
By David Carnes, Staff Writer
Car accidents are among the most common reasons for personal injury claims. Although you might just want to work directly with the insurance adjuster or represent yourself in small claims court over a fender bender that involves minor property damage, a skilled car accident lawyer is a near-necessity if you or someone else is seriously injured. Representing yourself, even at the settlement table, is generally not a good idea because car accident cases can be deceptively complex. Following are some examples of that complexity.
Determining Who Was at Fault
The contents of a police report are not the final word on which driver caused a car accident. Even if the police report favors you, the defendant might still be able to successfully dispute it with eyewitness testimony or accident reconstruction by an expert. The defendant might also be able to successfully claim that you were partially at fault for the accident, in which case your damages could be reduced (or even eliminated in some states).
Determining Long-Term Damages
Negotiating a car accident settlement will only help you so much if your settlement turns out to be inadequate to cover your losses. If your injuries are long-term, you will need to calculate your long-term damages with care:
- Medical expenses: A serious car accident could leave you with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, broken bones, missing limbs or other serious injuries. Since the full extent of these injuries might not fully manifest themselves before the statute of limitations for your claim expires let alone while you are negotiating a settlement, you will need help to accurately estimate your long-term medical expenses so that you don't run out of money years or even decades after your accident.
- Lost work time or loss of career: If your injuries have affected your occupation, you will need to accurately estimate your long-term lost income. This can be surprisingly tricky -- even something as simple as an arthritic thumb (which might not manifest itself until years after your accident) could ruin your career if, for example, you are a dentist or if your job otherwise requires fine motor skills.
- Psychological damages: You are entitled to compensation for your physical suffering and for any mental anguish that might accompany your injury such as the loss of ability to exercise or have sex. Although these kinds of damages are inherently difficult to quantify, they are important because they frequently amount to several times the amount a victim recovers for medical expenses and lost work time combined.
If You Have to File a Lawsuit
In some cases it is necessary to file a lawsuit to pressure the defendant to settle with you or to keep your claim alive when the statute of limitations deadline is approaching. Lawsuits (outside of small claims court) are subject to strict procedural requirements. Although the procedural requirements for personal injury lawsuits differ from state to state and between federal and state courts, the major features are similar in every jurisdiction:
The Rules of Civil Procedure: The rules of civil procedure cover in detail everything from how to file your initial complaint to how you take testimony from a witness. Unlike small claims court, you will not be able to benefit from simplified rues designed to accommodate non-lawyers who are representing themselves.
The Rules of Evidence: The rules of evidence vary slightly from state to state and can be quite arcane in any state. If, for example, you were injured on a one-car accident caused by uneven payment in a road maintained by a shopping mall, you generally cannot use the shopping mall's repair of the condition as evidence that there was something wrong with it in the first place (because the law does not wish to discourage defendants from repairing dangerous conditions).
If you have been injured in a car accident, take advantage of our lawyer search function to locate an experienced auto accident lawyer in your area.

And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again." And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead." (Mark 9:25-26)
Just as darkness hates light, so the devil despises and even fears exposure. Truth exposes his lies and strips away his disguise. You see it here. Jesus calls the evil spirit out, exposes him, expels him, and forbids him to return. The result? The demon cries out, convulses the victim "terribly" and leaves.
Now, I do not know if I have ever really dealt with someone who has such a demon, but I can tell you that I have seen this "thrashing" business in wicked people…

Brand TLDs & Digital Strategies
Welcome – this is the first blog for the launch of Authentic Web. IT FEELS GREAT!
The past months have been crazy busy, working with many people who have helped me with the platform thinking and requirements definition, the build, legal, finance, messaging, positioning, creative, ICANN policy and long task lists. Thank you for all your tremendous support and enthusiasm.
Away we go, embracing change is exciting.
In the fall of 2012, I attended the ICANN conference in Toronto. As I was sitting in a session, listening to the debate on delegation priority, trademark clearinghouse and other mind numbing regulatory policy detail, I decided to found a new company; Authentic Web, to serve brands.
Why you ask?
In June of 2012, ICANN released the list of 1,930 applicants, 1,400 unique names and over 600 brand related applications. Speaking with industry contacts, the big question was; "What are brands going to do?" The collective answer was, "don't know" other than defense as the common driver.
I agree, it's a legal and brand manager's worst nightmare. I also realized as brands become educated and think it through, they will realize the best defense in an expanded TLD space will be to anchor their digital presence and investment by having their own .brand registry.
Sitting there, I realized, with my 15 years of experience building, launching, marketing, selling and managing domain name, web service and online marketing and communication businesses, there is a MASSIVE MARKET SHIFT AHEAD FOR BRANDS with tremendous opportunity that they don't yet appreciate.
New CAPABILITIES inherent in a dotbrand will enable use cases to support business objectives from; branding authenticity, control, ability to create any name or network of names, distribution of content experiences, measurement of every click, development of communities and engagement on branded spaces with customers through partners and channels or the delivery of IP based services on a branded space …. it goes on and on.
New TLDs are a massive Internet paradigm shift. Few people outside our space are paying attention but it's coming fast. Last week, Apple signalled the shift by removing the ".com" from their mobile interface; a sign of things to come. In the beginning, it will be chaotic, scary and challenging. Out of chaos and complexity however, will come order on a new taxonomy.
Whenever technology brings new capabilities, there follows a wave of innovation. Think broadband, social and mobile. Make no mistake, this is dramatic. In 10 years, every major and aspiring brand will own their own registry. It's a natural progression that we will see as obvious in hindsight. So frankly, brands have no other choice if they want to stay relevant. The WINNERS will be those who have the vision, passion, courage, desire, resources and permission to innovate. These are the brands Authentic Web seeks to serve with a platform, services and integrated digital technology solutions.
We are excited and ready to drive innovation in the brave new •BRAND world.
Thanks for checking in and stay tuned – Peter

"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that." Lewis Carroll
With the iPad 3 due to appear in weeks and iPhone 5 already on plan, Apple [AAPL] has extended its litigation against former ally Samsung, just days after laying the smackdown against Motorola's attempt to subvert industry standards in that company's Google-sponsored war against the iPhone. This time Apple is seeking to get Samsung's Galaxy Nexus banned in the USA.
[ABOVE: Co-developed between Google and Samsung, will the Nexus find itself banned in the USA?]
Innovation, imitation, fair use?
In a lawsuit filed in the US District Court for Northern California, Apple has claimed the Nexus infringes four of its patents that relate to:
- Touching a number on a Web page to dial (data tapping).
- Word placement
- Siri
- The 'swipe to unlock' function.
While three of the patents were granted relatively recently, the data tapping patent was recently upheld by the ITC and caused HTC to remove the feature from its devices without further struggle.
Apple is claiming -- correctly -- that allowing sales of Samsung's derivative device would "cause Apple to lose market share to Samsung that could support a finding of irreparable harm."
That the platform war continues unabated is made clear in a second statement from the company, in which it says: "The smartphone market is at a critical juncture, as the overwhelming majority of consumers move to smartphones, and the consumers' long-term preferences and purchases may be determined to a great extent by the operating system on their first smartphone."
Doublespeak and double standard
This is the real deal behind Apple's attempt to draw a line in the sand between its own user interface and design ideas and those of its copyist competitors. Apple is insisting its own ideas are respected, while imitators are attempting to secure a foothold in the rapidly-expanding smartphone market by aping ideas used within the iPhone.
Apple puts it this way, saying Samsung's attempts to emulate its patent-protected user interfaces are designed to secure that foothold, this is: "Precisely why Samsung copies Apple's products and incorporates Apple's patented features, i.e., in order to lure crucial first-time purchasers away from Apple."
Launched in the US in October 2011, the Nexus runs Android 4.0 (the stupidly-named 'Ice Cream Sandwich'). Samsung's response to Apple's salvo is typical. In the response the company -- currently under EU investigation for alleged anti-competitive behavior in the smartphone industry as evinced in its partial commitment to FRAND licensing agreements -- said:
"We continue to assert our intellectual property rights and defend against Apple's claims to ensure our continued innovation and growth in the mobile communications business."
Don't underestimate the significance of these battles. Apple has so far sold over one million iPads in South Korea (Samsung's home turf). Apple and Samsung are fighting over 20 legal battles across 10 or more countries as they battle for leadership of the smartphone industry.
[ABOVE: Those heady days in 2007 when Steve Jobs' launched the iPhone. Back then, Google's Schmidt still sat on Apple's board, and the Android OS was apparently a little like a BlackBerry. How things change.]
What makes it unique?
Apple's fight is to convince the courts that its patented user interface technologies must be considered proprietary and should not be imitated without license by competitors. Competitors remain tied to Android, and until Google delivers a truly unique version of that OS, then the proxy war between Apple and Google will continue.
An open battle between Apple and Google in the courts seems ever more likely. Many of the user interface features Apple is fighting others over are included within the Google-developed Android OS. This drives FOSS Patents' Florian Mueller to state: "In this case, stock Android itself is at issue. This means that Google cannot deny its undivided responsibility for any infringement findings."
Mueller also points out that much of the previous and existing litigation seems a little ineffective, but with Apple now facing systemic Google-supported abuse of the nature with which IP holders are required to honor FRAND patents, he now concedes:
"Because of the need for Apple to respond to FRAND abuse by companies like Motorola and Samsung, wholeheartedly endorsed by Google, I now accept the fact that Apple needs to ratchet up and accelerate its enforcement of standard-unrelated patents."
Make a stand for FRAND
What those firms fighting Apple with what seem to me to be clear abuses of the standards of behavior which govern the FRAND licensing systems should be aware of its that Cupertino counts a horde of similar patents of its own.
Should Apple's enemies prevail in their FRAND fights, then what's to stop Apple beginning similar actions against them? And if that event were to transpire, what damage would it make to the many agreed industry standards on which we all depend in order to ensure devices from different manufacturers interoperate?
I believe it's important to stand up for transparent and un-prejudiced handling of FRAND licensing agreements, and feel those firms who are using FRAND patents as part of an attempt to combat Apple are setting in motion wheels which could imperil future evolution and technology advancement.
There seems to me to be a case to demand that patents held under FRAND agreements be ceded to a neutral third-party body (most likely the relevant standards organizations) for licensing and collection of fees.
That's because a growing list of companies (Motorola and Samsung, for example) are proving themselves -- at least to my eyes -- as being untrustworthy in their handling of FRAND licensing.
This also means consumers need to look to products from such companies and firmly analyze the small print of their guarantees to ensure after sales support is rubber-clad -- will firms incapable of handling tech licensing in an honest and transparent manner be capable of honoring your device guarantee in the event the product fails? It's all a truly dreadful business.

The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 established a new type of Medicare Advantage coordinated care plans called special needs plans (SNPs) to focus on individuals with special needs.
Special needs individuals are defined as individuals who are:
Congress intended for SNPs to exclusively or disproportionately enroll persons with serious chronic conditions to more effectively serve high-risk populations through specialization. SNPs must offer Medicare Parts A, B, and D benefits. SNPs function under most of the same Medicare Advantage regulations, with some exceptions, and use the same payment methodology as other MA plans. The most significant exception relates to enrollment. Dual and institutional beneficiaries can enroll in and disenroll from a SNP anytime throughout the year. Chronic Condition beneficiaries have a one-time special election period, based on their being diagnosed with a condition that qualifies them for SNP enrollment. CMS Requirements for SNPs
As of mid-October 2019, CMS had approved 321 MA contracts offering 734 Special Needs Plans (SNPs) with a total enrollment of 3,156,877 beneficiaries. Of these 734 Special Needs Plans, 129 are Chronic or Disabling Condition SNPs serving 363,260; 480 are Dual-Eligible SNPs serving 2,698,634 beneficiaries; and 125 Institutional SNPs are serving 94,983 beneficiaries.
This site contains access to application material, identifies approved SNPs, and includes government-sponsored SNP reports and other information about SNP development and implementation.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Financial Alignment Initiative is testing models to better integrate primary, acute, behavioral health, and long-term services and supports, providing participating states to share in savings. Fifteen states were initially awarded demonstration contracts, and implementation began in 2013. The two models include (1) a prospective blended rate model for select health plans to provide both Medicare and Medicaid benefits to duals called the "capitated model", and (2) a model that allows the state to take responsibility for coordinating the beneficiary's care, called a "managed fee-for-service model (MFFS)".
As of July 2018, 9 states are participating in the capitated model (CA, IL, MA, MI, NY (two demonstrations), OH, RI, SC, TX) with total enrollment of 379,047 (July 2018). One state is in the managed fee-for-service model (WA) with enrollment of about 33,000 (September 2017.) One additional state (MN) has an agreement with CMS for an alternative FIDE-SNP demonstration focused on administrative alignments with enrollment of about 38,570 (September 2017). Two demonstrations have ended (VA and CO) though additional care coordination was continued. Three of the demonstrations (MN, MA and WA) are in process of being extended through December 2020.

If you ever get an e-mail from a journalist, there's one portion of it you should pay attention to more than any other. No, it's not the part where they're asking you about the housing development you're building exclusively for sex offenders; it's the sign-off.
If it's "Cheers," you're cool. You did OK. If it's "Regards," you pissed somebody off, and you better figure out how to fix things, quick.
We apply those same tenets here, every week.
CHEERS to the New York Times for sticking by its story that alleges Google and Verizon may be working together to speed up the Internet for certain companies willing to pay for it. The story was a huge hit to Google's reputation as a proponent of net neutrality and they've been working hard to fight against the bad PR the story has brought. But they haven't completely refuted what the story says. (MW)
REGARDS to the L.A. Times, for choosing to go solely to anti-gay groups for reactions in their article about the overturning of Prop 8. Because, really? Do we still have to spell out why this is a problem? (DW)
CHEERS to Slate's Jack Shafer for his unsolicited advice to Newsweek's new owner, Sidney Harman, including keeping his vanity-mogul hands off the newsroom, letting the magazine look into the organizations with which he himself is involved and figuring out what to do with the magazine after he dies other than handing it over to his congresswoman wife. (MW)
REGARDS to the Chicago Sun-Times for jumping on the celeb-bashing bandwagon by tweeting, "Only in America can wrongfully accused people spend decades in jail while Lindsay Lohan is out in weeks" as if the two were even remotely equivalent. Wrongfully accused people rotting in jail is the number one problem in the American justice system; Lindsay Lohan going from jail to rehab does not crack the top five million. (KL)
CHEERS and REGARDS to Forbes for its new digital overhaul. On the one hand, they're really looking forward by getting all their journalists to start blogging and "brand" themselves as personalities. On the other, requiring every writer to take on these new responsibilities could really detract from the quality of, you know, magazine articles. Which are pretty important. (MW)

Last season Kubina played in 76 games with Atlanta, recording six goals and 38 points with an even rating. His 32 assists and 38 points were both the second-highest totals of his career. Kubina led the Thrashers in average ice time with 22:37, was fifth in assists and sixth in points. He was second on the team among defensemen in goals, assists, points and power-play goals. Kubina was the only Atlanta blue-liner to net a game-winning goal.

I'm dreading my next electricity bill. With this heat wave, I don't think my AC unit has stopped running once in the past week. NREL may have developed an AC unit that eases the burden of energy usage.
According to a press release, NREL's new air conditioning process has the potential of using 50 to 90 percent less energy than today's top-of-the-line units. It uses membranes, evaporative cooling and liquid desiccants in a way that has never been done before.
"The idea is to revolutionize cooling, while removing millions of metric tons of carbon from the air," NREL mechanical engineer Eric Kozubal, co-inventor of the Desiccant-Enhanced eVaporative air conditioner, says.
"We'd been working with membranes, evaporative coolers and desiccants. We saw an opportunity to combine them into a single device for a product with unique capabilities."
The DEVap relies on the desiccants' capacity to create dry air using heat and evaporative coolers' capacity to take dry air and make cold air.
"By no means is the concept novel, the idea of combining the two," Kozubal says. "But no one has been able to come up with a practical and cost-effective way to do it. We bring the water and liquid desiccant into DEVap's heat-mass exchanger core. The desiccant and evaporative cooling effect work together to create cold-dry air."
The air is cooled and dried from a hot-humid condition to a cold and dry condition all in one step. This all happens in a fraction of a second as air flows through the DEVap air conditioner. The result is an air conditioner that controls both thermal and humidity loads.
Traditional air conditioners use a lot of electricity to run the refrigeration cycle, but DEVap replaces that refrigeration cycle with an absorption cycle that is thermally activated. It can be powered by natural gas or solar energy and uses very little electricity.
This means that DEVap could become the most energy efficient way to cool your house whether you live in Phoenix, New York, or Houston.
Eventually, NREL will license the technology to industry, "We're never going to be in the air conditioner manufacturing business," said Ron Judkoff, Principle Program Manager for Building Energy Research at NREL. "But we'd like to work with manufacturers to bring DEVap to market and create a more efficient and environmentally benign air conditioning product."
Adding: A post at After Gutenberg reports some more detail about the dessicants:
"NREL uses a liquid desiccant, a syrupy solution of lithium chloride or calcium chloride, about 44 percent salt by volume. In this setup, another membrane separates the desiccant from air traveling through a channel. The polymer membrane has pores about 1 micrometer to 3 micrometers in diameter, big enough that water vapor passes through easily while the salty liquid stays put. The membrane is also coated with a Teflon-like substance to repel liquid water. The desiccant pulls moisture from the airstream, leaving dry, warm air. Then it's back to indirect evaporative cooling: in a second channel, water evaporates to cool a secondary airstream, which in turn cools the first airstream, and out comes cool, dry air."
Also, the NREL provides some additional information about the origins of the membrane and potential applications:
"NREL has leveraged advances in PEM fuel-cell membrane research to produce a desiccant membrane capable of transferring moisture nearly as well as metals transfer heat. These membranes retain the moisture transport abilities of their fuel-cell counterparts but don't require their unique electrical properties, so they are more straightforward to produce. NREL and its industry partners are optimizing quasi-counterflow plate heat exchangers that recover more than 75% of the heat and moisture from waste energy flows. The resulting product, which is available in commercial HVAC sizes, is a drop-in replacement for existing heat-only recovery devices and performs as well as rotary exchangers, but without the complexity of moving parts."

If you don't already own a lot, we will help you find the right lot at the right price. To help you make a sound decision, we will walk the lot of your choice with you. We will discuss the specific location of the lot within the subdivision, the types of soil on the lot, any potential grading or drainage issues, the optimum position of your home on the lot and a host of other considerations. Because of our building experience, we will be able to help you choose the best lot for your particular situation.
At Largo-CR Homes, we fully understand how busy your lives can be. We will work to minimize your expenditure of time and energy. We have streamlined the process of building so efficiently that even the busiest people can build their dream home without drastically changing their everyday schedules.
Largo-CR Homes has numerous plans to choose from if you don't already have a plan. We are willing and able to make changes to any house plan to make it fit your personal needs. We have an excellent plan designer who is ready and willing to work with you. If you already have a plan in mind, whether it's a sketch you made, a draft from the internet or a magazine, or a complete blueprint, we can help you decide how that can be improved to suit you.
Absolutely! You will be able to customize your home to fit your budget and your tastes. We will work with you throughout this process to guide you and answer your questions. We accompany you and schedule all of the appointments for you with our selected vendors.
Once you have made your selections, it's our job to see that the construction is done correctly. We will be emailing pictures weekly to show you exactly what is happening at the building site. We do request one significant visit to review the electrical layout in your home. This is approximately 8 weeks from start of construction.
Largo-CR Homes will review all selections and upgrade requests prior to the start of construction. Once you have approved all selections and pricing, we start building your home. If you don't make any changes during the building process, you will know the exact price of your home prior to construction starting.
Builder's risk insurance is coverage that protects the homeowner's insurable interest in materials, fixtures and/or equipment being used during construction should those items sustain physical loss or damage from a covered cause. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to obtain the Builder's Risk policy.
Buildings are subject to many different risks while under construction. They may catch fire, be damaged by high winds, or fall victim to other forces of nature. A principle of common law is that any new construction or other improvement to land becomes property of the owner of the land - the title holder - once there has been an "improvement" to the owner's site. Builder's risk insurance indemnifies against some of these losses.
Every home we build is entirely warranted for a full year, with a 13 year warranty provided for the structural elements of the home. We will provide you with our Warranty Manual once we've gone to contract.

When you install Virtru for Chrome, you'll see the dialog below informing you that Virtru is requesting permission to "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit".
This is because the Virtru browser extension was historically compatible with multiple webmail providers including Yahoo, Outlook.com, and Gmail, requiring us to request permission to multiple websites. Since those URLs are subject to change occasionally, we opted for the "All websites" option to prevent needing to update that list.
Since this extension no longer support any webmail providers except Gmail, we intend to reduce the level of access that we request to reflect that change.
To offer a little peace of mind until we're able to make that change, we can confirm that, though we request "all sites" access, we're only interacting with the pages where you need Virtru functionality: Gmail.com and Google Vault. You can verify this by unpacking the extension and viewing the manifest.json file:

I was fitting up my shiny new tier3 Battlecruisers the other day and musing on the changes that Crucible has brought to New Eden. A bit stunned, disoriented and overwhelmed by the multitude of paper-cut fixes, the major game-changers seemed lost in the pile at first.
Then, as I was fitting up my shiny new Oracle, I happened to glance at the Zealot sitting in my hanger.
It hit me, that poor ship is dead.
Which made me wonder, what other ships in my hanger are also dead? Gulp. Suddenly Crucible started to seem like a religious death-squad intent on antiquating my personal collection of death-dealing wonder ships! What would it devour next? My Vagabond?!?
For all intents and purposes, the Zealot and the Vagabond have seen their day of glory and will never again be the ships they once were. They have been regulated to the dusty back bin of the hanger, to be brought out only because you were to damn lazy or poor to buy a new tier3 when you were in Jita last week.
The Oracle is twice as cheap as a Zealot, hits for BS damage at better than Zealot ranges, doesn't have the same cap issues and, did I mention, it is twice as cheap? ( It varies of course, but eventually it will be. And while this might be over-simplifying a complex issue, it is the truth. Plus, oversimplifying a complex issue is what I do! ) The Zealot, poor thing, just can't hold up under this kind of pressure.
The story isn't the same for the Vagabond. It wasn't directly killed by one ship, but by a combination of events that put it squarely in the middle. The Tornado started it. Once you introduce a 900 dps warrior that can hit at Drake range with the ( relatively ) same tracking as a Cane, with nano Cane EHP ( close enough! ) you've upset the apple cart. But the Tornado is a tough nut to fit a point on, so how does this kill the Vaga? It doesn't directly, but follow the logic tree down a bit and you'll see why. Once again, it comes down to cost relationships. The Vaga is to expensive. Just like the Zealot, the Vaga is killed by being more expensive than it is worth. Heck, when you can make a Catalyst into a Taranis ( call it a Fat Tranny if you want, but with the right skills the Catalyst is pretty badass right now ) for a fraction of the cost, you begin to see what Crucible has wrought.
After all the Dramiel talk, the nerfs/buffs, the balancing and whatnots that Crucible has brought us. It is fascinating that the most significant changes might be to the overall market value of our traditional thinking. Battleship DPS at Battlecruiser prices is about more than meets the eye.
And we're only in the opening weeks.
I love Twitter. Having banged this around a few times I just wanted to focus the post a bit more on the important point. Cost. Eve is all about risk/reward and ISK balance. I'm not saying the Oracle is a better ship than the Zealot. In many ways it is not. But what I am saying is this - it is much, much cheaper and it does more dps! These are hard facts to ignore. And while the Zealot has a slightly bigger tank and can have a lower sig radius, that dps thing is hard to get past. Especially considering the price.
And that is the thing. Take a look in the comments and notice what Kirith says about the Naga compared to the Rokh. 1/3 the cost, better agility with a damage bonus. Forget the EHP when you can field more of them for the same cost.
Unless something weird happens and T2 prices fall significantly, and they probably can't even do that anymore, the world has changed and it is time to start thinking differently.
And if you are counting on a buffer I wouldn't be so quick. I seriously think this is exactly what CCP wanted to happen.

LA Times reports on the fashion industry's unconscious sourcing of raw materials.
Macy's has pulled from its shelves and its Web site two styles of Sean John hooded jackets, originally advertised as featuring faux fur, after an investigation by the nation's largest animal protection organization concluded that the garments were actually made from a certain species of dog called "raccoon dog."
"First these jackets were falsely advertised as faux fur, and then it turned out that the fur came from a type of dog," said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States.
Pacelle added that the issue is an "industry-wide problem" and its investigation demonstrated that retailers and designers "aren't paying close enough attention to the fur trim they are selling." He added that the issue is especially problematic when "the fur is sourced from China where domestic dogs and cats and raccoon dogs are killed in gruesome ways."
Raccoon dogs — which are not domestic animals — are indigenous to Asia, including eastern Siberia and Japan, and have been raised in large numbers because their fur closely resembles raccoon, Pacelle said.

The U.S. could dramatically expand a ban on laptops and e-readers in airplane cabins, Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said Sunday.
Kelly was asked by "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace about whether he would implement a ban that covered all international flights entering or leaving the U.S.
"I might," Kelly responded.
Kelly also told Wallace that there are "numerous threats against aviation."
He said terrorists are "obsessed" with the idea of "knocking down an airplane in flight, particularly a U.S. carrier, if it's full of mostly U.S. folks."
If implemented, it would be a much broader restriction than what the department has previously hinted. Kelly told CNN on Friday that he would consider banning large electronics in cabins on flights departing from the U.S. to overseas.
At the time, Kelly said, "We will make a decision when the time is right."
Right now electronic devices larger than a cellphone are banned from the cabin on U.S.-bound flights from 10 airports in the Middle East and Africa. Nine airlines operate flights to the United States from those airports.
The ban includes flights originating in Cairo, Egypt; Dubai and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Istanbul, Turkey; Doha, Qatar; Amman, Jordan; Kuwait City; Casablanca, Morocco; and Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated the number of airlines affected by the existing electronics ban. The story has been updated.

Out of his many galleries, I chose two that I particularly admired; The Art of Kathakali, and The Last of the Bound Feet Women.
Kathakali is one of the oldest theater forms in the world, and originated in the area of southwestern India now known as the state of Kerala. It's the classical dance-drama of Kerala and is rooted in Hindu mythology and literally means "Story-Play". In my forthcoming 2012 photo-expedition to Kerala, I am planning an exhaustive photo shoot at a Kathakali school (as I did in 2009).
As for the Bound Feet Women, NPR featured an article on this practice and its history here, where it tells us that millions of Chinese women bound their feet to turn them into the prized "three-inch golden lotuses." Footbinding was first banned in 1912, but some continued binding their feet in secret. Some of the last survivors of this barbaric practice are still living in Liuyicun, a village in Southern China's Yunnan province.

Rename file by file size
There is no consistency in the numbers that come out of our system so I really can't base the file name change on the incoming file name. I need to change the file names based on file size. One is always under 200 KB and the other is always over 1 MB.
I've looked through a lot of the documentation and haven't found anything in regards to making fie name changes based only on file size. Has anyone done this or know if this is an option?

When you have a filelist variable (created from a Monitor or CreateFileList task, etc) you have access to the File Attributes. By putting the FileList variable into a ForEach loop, you can test for file size with something like this:
<forEachLoop label="Loop through list of Docs" itemsVariable="${lsFiles}" currentItemVariable="file">
<setVariable label="Set File Name" name="stat_filename" value="${ file:name }" version="2.0" />
<setVariable label="Set File Size" name="stat_filesize" value="${ file:size }" version="2.0" />
Or, utilize the "FileInfo" function if you already have the file path/name inside a variable:
<variable name="FileName1" value="\Temp\1.jpg" />
<variable name="FileName2" value="\Temp\2.jpg" />
<if label="Compare File Size" condition="${ ( FileInfo( String( FileName1 ) ):size ) == ( FileInfo( String( FileName2 ) ):size ) }">

Idiom meaning
Posted by Brian from Shawnee on March 08, 2004
In Reply to: Idiom meaning posted by Henry on March 08, 2004
: : hi,
: : what is the meaning of "went down a storm" as an idiom? thanks
: In England, it means that it was enthusiastically received. Remember that in England , to go down a bomb also means a great success; in America, I believe that something that bombs is a complete failure.
But these days, if something is "da bomb", it's phat (i.e., great and cool). I think it's now in wide use in the English-speaking world.
