Mobile marketing is gaining immense popularity, and in almost any professional context. Mobile marketing for lawyers and law firms is projected to be one of the most efficient channels for branding and advertising, especially for those legal professionals who handle plaintiff-consumer cases.
However, if carried out inaccurately, mobile marketing could offer minimum returns and could even pose detrimental risks if not monitored correctly. Lawyers in particular will want to focus on mobile marketing campaigns that target very specific markets and areas of law. And with the various opportunities for mobile marketing, legal professionals will want to exploit only those techniques that will aid their marketing efforts, not hinder them.
Below are considerations and tips to help you and your practice develop the optimal mobile marketing strategy.
The first and most important step to implementing mobile marketing for your law firm is to set goals and objectives. This may require an extensive evaluation of your services and your firm's position in the market, but in essence, this phase of incubation and planning will help you figure out exactly how mobile marketing may help your firm.
Some questions you may what to ask yourself are:
Start getting your creative juices flowing, and conjuring up some innovative, yet intuitive ideas that flow with the services and brand of your firm.
Some law firm websites are complex and deep with tons of webpages. If a prospective user is looking for help from a mobile browser, you will want to make sure the content of your website is clearly viewable. More importantly, you will definitely want to ensure that you have a legitimate call to action so they can contact your firm.
In some cases, a dedicated website, such as .mobi, may need to be developed in order to cater to your mobile market. If this investment seems overkill, you can reduce the size of the mobile website to only a few key pages, or perhaps create a simple landing page that includes only basic information about your firm. And of course, don't forget about a prominent call to action.
There are plenty of mobile advertising channels to choose from, but the most powerful come in the form of search engine marketing.
Being found in the search engines, whether on a PC or smartphone, can be a complete marketing game-changer. There are two methods to obtain better search exposure: organic SEO and Pay Per Click advertising.
Organic SEO for lawyer websites requires a more long-term investment of optimizing the content on the site, as well as executing link building campaigns and other off-site strategies. This process is a bit more time consuming, however it can offer great returns and cost-efficient marketing spend.
In Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, the opportunities are a bit more immediate. A firm can bid for top search engine placement on the keywords that drive the best traffic. And with mobile search, attorneys can take advantage of "click to call" - when a user clicks on a paid (PPC) ad, his or her phone immediately starts calling the firm. What's nice about "click to call" is that a mobile-friendly website is not needed.
First, have your goals, objectives, and overall game plan laid out. Don't be afraid to ask for insights from other marketers or even future prospects. Perhaps try surveying a few of your trusted clients to get feedback as to which mobile marketing strategies might work the best.
Mobile marketing is growing fast, so make sure your legal practice is ahead of the game.
If you have any questions or comments about mobile marketing for lawyers and law firm, please add them in the comments section below.continue...
In the U.S., an eMarketer survey indicates that Internet users will increase by 3.1% to reach 239 million by the end of 2012. This means 75.6% of the US population will be online by the end of the year.
Such numbers are important for anyone wishing to venture into building a brand on the web, particularly for law firms and legal professionals. Currently, blogging is one of the best platforms to support your online business and penetrate more markets. Content marketing via blogging is exceptionally advantageous for legal professions in communicating their cause and capabilities.
However, not all blogs fare well to their target audience, and many try to cover far to many subjects without establishing a focal niche. If you want your online brand to advance via blogging, you should look into these 5 characteristics of successful blogs.
Whenever you are publishing your blog, always research your content to avoid boring your readers. There is a lot of information available and if readers realize you are veering away from the topic they can switch any second. Blogging is not just fun, but serious business and it is better not to update than add nothing to the reader's quest for information. In essence, stay focused on you blog's niche, or practice area of law.
Readers like compelling articles written from your own perspective. As such, they need your personality to be written all over the content at all times and this will make it easier to relate to your blogs. In most cases, giving responsibility to another webmaster will sell you away immediately and this can be seen from the comments given. Try to dill down your own niche in terms of style and make it interactive.
Blog management does not come naturally and as such, you have to keep going on and on until you have an audience. However, this is not the end of the journey but a beginning, because retaining this audience is a herculean task. Always have faith in what you write and expect forthright criticism; this is the Internet after all. Passion is the drive that makes you brave enough to continue even when odds are against you.
Always make sure you update your content even if there is a dearth of information around. Readers come to your blog for new information and when they lack the same, they will seek other avenues of information. Consistency is the underpinning of any successful branding blog.
A successful blogger is not a 'yes' person but one who constantly questions rationale in everything. This is the only way to create rapport with the curious readers who flock online for new provocative ideas. As such, your blog should not be a mundane regurgitation of the obvious but a platform of novelty.
These 5 characteristics of successful blogs can help resuscitate your fledgling blog and make it rank highly in the niche of your legal services. Information is power and in all these traits, it is this maxim that will define your success as a legal professional .continue...
YouTube is a highly effective video marketing and law firm branding tool since it attracts millions of viewers every day. The video sharing site is free of charge and posting here gives your firm a valuable opportunity to educate, enlighten, and inform relevant viewers. This helps to establish your legal practice with greater credibility and trust amongst your target market.
You should never overlook the optimization of your YouTube channel and videos for SEO. A high ranking video is highly desirable because videos not only stand-out in the search results, but videos help to convert viewers in potential cases.
An SEO analogy to keep in mind is that YouTube channels are like your homepage of a website, while videos are the equivalent of inside webpages. The YouTube channel of your law firm should represent the primary, all-encompassing keyword target (eg "Peoria Criminal Defense Lawyer"), while the videos should focus on specific legal areas that support the primary target (eg "Drug Possession Law in Peoria").
You should always include a description in each YouTube video script. Including the keyword phrases in the text will also help for SEO purposes, but ensure you do not overuse it.'
Also important is to have the URL of your key landing page at top of each video description. This is essentially the call to action to your law firm. Remember to include "http://" in the link, otherwise it will appear as a non-clickable link.
Yet another way of optimizing YouTube channels and videos for search engines is taking advantage of the social media connections that YouTube has built in. Linking to Twitter and Facebook opens a big door for your videos. You should encourage replies and comments, but set the comments for approval only to protect yourself.
Link building is the most effective SEO technique. For this reason along, it is smart to build a few quality links to the channel page as well as to select videos. Additionally, it is very beneficial to have external embeds of your video on your site to generate popularity for video SEO.
Just like for website optimization or organic search engine optimization for websites, internal linking will help with indexing your YouTube videos. You should therefore link popular videos to new videos through the video response feature. This will help to further establish keyword relevancy for overall YouTube optimization.
One last tip to keep in mind while performing YouTube video SEO for your law firm is using transcripts. Transcripts of what is said in the videos will give search engine spiders something extra to crawl while on your video page. This can further improve the SEO potential of your YouTube videos.
Remember, SEO = organization, and having a well organized YouTube channel that is well structured around your keyword targets will offer great potential for search engine optimization.continue...
Although most law firms have been cautious to dive into social media marketing, now many legal practices are realizing the significance of going social as an effective and efficient part of marketing their legal services. Not only does social media contribute to acquiring more and better cases, but having a strong social media presence can help a firm establish a powerful and well-recognized brand image.
There are three social media platforms that are essential for lawyers and law firms alike. Below is an overview of these three platforms, along with some tips on how to build law firm web marketing strategies for each of them.
For geo-relevant, lawyer-related keyword searches, some law firms are positioned higher in local search results. This is because these local firms have created well-optimized Google+ Local pages. These pages are huge advertising sources for locally focused companies.
It is recommended that you build a Google+ page for both for your law firm brand (a Google+ Local page) as well as personal page for yourself. Besides increasing your online visibility and potential rankings in organic search results, Google+ is a social media platform that can connect you with potential clients and fellow legal professionals (for referrals.)
To help you optimize your Google+ pages, consider these following tips:
* Verify you firm's Google+ Local page to be a legitimate location or place
* Populate your firm's "About" information with keyword rich content
* Upload professional, audience relevant images
* Make use of videos and other media that will help market your law firm
* Add a link to your firm's website or other online resources
* Establish Google authorship by linking to you blogs
With so many individuals on Facebook, it's hard for lawyers and law firms not to take advantage of this social touch point. Here are a few tidbits that may enlighten you on how to use Facebook as a social marketing platform for your firm.
* The average duration a common user spends on Facebook is 55 minutes per day. That's a solid chunk of time. Your brand needs less than one minute of that time to make its impact. Be sure to post only valuable content that speak to their interests.
* Utilize different types of Facebook pages. Contrary to your personal Facebook profile page, branded Facebook page allows your firm to build a credible presence online, establish an area for open discussions, automatically accept followers, and share legal knowledge and insights by promoting you content.
* Create space for more Facebook fans. The average Facebook user has about 193 friends on their account. In addition, if one person likes your firm's Facebook page, friends of that person may see interaction through their Facebook Newsfeed. This can further promote you brand's visibility while growing your following.
* Take advantage of Facebook advertising. Facebook ads can help you make your law firm more visible online, especially from a local market approach. Facebook ads enable marketers to tailor highly focused campaigns based on many different targeting tactics, such as location, gender, interests, or age.
Perhaps one of the most valuable social marketing platforms of attorneys is LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a professional social media network with a lot of potential to connect with other attorneys for case referrals and legal insights. Below are just a few of the advantages of LinkedIn for law firms:
* Connect with other attorneys for case referrals
* Earn exposure from prospective clients
* Share you content and establish your professional credibility
* Build the company's web presence with more search visibility
* Staying up-to-date on news and insights in you legal practice area
LinkedIn continues to grow as one of the most powerful social media platforms for many different users. Its diversity and growth makes it one of the best for law firm and business web marketing.

Public Relations (PR) and SEO, although vastly different in many ways, can actually have a lot in common. When both of these practices are incorporated in a law firm's marketing efforts, a lot can be achieved.
The main idea is that PR and SEO are both a form of optimized communication in that they must be intricately tailored for a specific audience.
Although PR involves maintaining the law firm's brand image through public events and appearances, and SEO involves marketing a company over the Internet, there's synergy that can be created when both are merged.
In this article we highlight five ideas to leverage PR for your law firm's SEO campaign.
Create optimized web copy and other forms of inbound marketing content (for SEO) by utilizing offline resources created by the PR department. It's important to ensure that the proper focus and purpose of the PR content is similar in its application for SEO. A lot of insights can be gained by leveraging PR content for SEO, so get creative and see what applies.
A law firm's PR department establishes a lot of contacts with potential SEO clients since they work with media and other forms of marketing. Utilize the PR department to reach out to prospects and see if your firm can utilize their web properties for off-site SEO, such as guest blogging and relevant link building.
When it comes to press release, the PR department for most law firms is responsible for generating this type of content. These press releases can easily be spun or re-purposed, and optimized for inbound marketing and SEO. It's a great way to make use of internal resources that already exist.
The PR department of the law firm can come in handy in generating insights and quality content to share on social media. This is due to the fact that PR deals with the public and established connections with the press. As a result, it's likely that the firm's PR department will have good information and content that can be used for social media (which now contributes heavily for SEO, especially local SEO.)
Data that's gathered from the PR department can be used for many different marketing function, especially fro SEO. For instance, target audience data, specifically demographics and other specifics of the law firm's target market can be used to produce more relevant content for SEO.

Small and large businesses have realized that engaging in social media is one of the most effective ways of understanding their customer. Once a company builds a social media network, it is important for it to make use of the information generated from this source on a daily basis. There is a lot of valuable information, which is obtained as feedback from customers via social media.
As a business, you must learn how to collect this information from your customers and use it to improve your products and services. It is easy for a company to establish a social media following but the unfortunate thing is that, most people do not maximize the feedback obtained from social media. According to Joshua March, the CEO and co-founder of Conversocial, only 6 percent of businesses that engage in social media utilize their customer feedback data.
According to March, you can be able to tell how people perceive your products by using the feedback data generated in social media. Most customers will give a genuine description of your product or service based on their opinion. There are some who are flattered by brand loyalty whereas others may have a bad image regarding your product due to a certain marketing message they have come across.
In essence, if you want to understand how your brand is perceived by its target customers then you should collect customer feedback data from social media. You need to understand the negative preconceptions about your brand so that you can address them accordingly. With social media, you can identify the effectiveness of your web presence strategy by identifying the product's natural strengths and the negative perceptions.
Other than that, social media engagement also helps you to analyze your customer's reaction to a new product. You can know how your product is faring in a matter of minutes since people give feedback on social platforms really fast. You will be able to know if customers are disappointed or satisfied by the new product depending on the kind of feedback that is generated on social media. You can take the right action to clear information about this new product by giving the right response and addressing disappointments using the same social platform.
According to March, if companies can create a clear plan on how to address social media feedback, then a lot can be achieved. For instance, you can decide to separate the customer feedbacks into different categories then addressing each separately. From there, you can know who is responsible for a certain negative reaction and how this can be addressed. You can also leverage a number of other initiatives, such as promoting job opportunities, local events, or press release forms of content via social media.
In essence, you should engage in social media to help you understand your customers better. Make a point of using any information or data that is given by customers on social media to engage with customers. This customer feedback can help you address issues and incorporate changes, which were recommended by your loyal customers. You can even understand the trends in your company and watch out before losing your loyal customers.continue...
SlideShare is a popular platform that aids a number of web marketing strategies. SlideShare enables users to create slide-based presentation (parallel to Microsoft PowerPoint) with ability to share and embed presentations on various other web properties.
With visual content offering a more engaging and attractive option for web users, SlideShare can help supplement various communications for your law firm. In this article, we offer some tips to making the most of your firm's SlideShare presentations.
When embarking your first SlideShare presentation, focus on a legal practice that you truly specialize in. This will enable you to provide optimal value in your content, which supports the following strategies of making your presentation known and potentially viral. Be very specific with this. If you specialize in criminal defense law, create your SlideShare around a specific need or legal solution, such as "How to beat a DUI charge."
Your introductory slide, or "Title Slide," offers viewers that important first impression. Ensure your title embodies the solution or value proposition that you plan to cover. You may also want to take into consideration the design element of you slides. A clean, professionally looking slide template is important. Just be sure to keep it simple and avoid implementing too many graphics that might clutter-up your presentation.
In the title, description, and tags fields of your SlideShare presentation, add keywords that reflect what your content is all about. This simple keyword optimization process can supplement many facets of SEO. For instance, if you embed your "How to beat a DUI charge" SlideShare on a blog post about "DUI law," then you are making the blog post more keyword relevant (thus increasing its SEO value.)
Like we mentioned in the latter tip, you can integrate (or "embed") your SlideShare presentations on other web properties and forms of content. Articles and blog posts are great place, for you can supplement your words with more visual elements. You can also add SlideShare presentations to aspects of your website to help educate visitors about specific areas of law.
After your SlideShare is complete, you'll want to promote your presentation on the social media platforms your firm is active in. Not only does this expose your content to your audience, but a well-liked SlideShare that gains significant popularity can make it more authoritative. That is, when people search SlideShare for related presentations, your firm's presentation will be more likely to show-up in their search results. So beyond the content marketing benefits of SlideShare, the SEO benefits are equally powerful.continue...
Recently there has been advancement in technology mainly towards the development of Smartphone and tablets, many of which law firms can leverage to brand their practice.
With increase in mobile use, this has left businesses and firms no option but to tailor their businesses to suit and tap into the ever-growing number of people who are addicted to their phones. As a results, growth in the development of custom mobile applications, which are commonly referred to as mobile apps, has skyrocketed.
This has been a key tool for businesses in growing their market share and increasing their market presence. Law firms should also venture into the technology field by embracing custom mobile apps to bring the law closer to their clients.
Custom mobile apps can be used by law firms to serve many purposes. Among them social media marketing. Custom mobile apps can be connected to a number of social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook and my space. Integration of these mobile apps with social networking is of importance in that clients and lawyers will be able to communicate on the go, regardless of the distance between the two. Clients can then receive legal advice from their law firm or even set up meetings with their lawyers just by using custom mobile app. These tactics result in some of the most effective mobile marketing strategies.
Custom mobile apps can also be used as a marketing tool. A law firm can have software developers develop a custom mobile app that has the firm's logos and preferred colors. These apps will also have modules, which will explain various practices that the law firm has specialized in such as tort law, commercial law and so on and so forth. The apps can still have the firms contact details, which will be of much use to potential clients who will want to contact the law firm. Real time maps and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) integrated in a mobile app can provide clients with directions from wherever they are in the law firms' offices.
Mobile apps can be of much benefit to not only the firm's client, but also a lawyer. Custom mobile apps, which have periodicals and various law related books, magazines and journals integrated into them, can be of much help to lawyers on the move. This is so because the lawyers will be able to read while in a train or waiting in line at a store.
Lawyers can then research on their legal cases from their mobile phones from anywhere in the world without the need for an Internet connection. Custom mobile apps with advice on various law fields may be of much help to clients who may wish to seek law advice without visiting a law firm.continue...
Most law firms want to be renowned for their established track record and extensive legal expertise. In most situations, these aspirations can be somewhat esoteric to a potential case or cleint who is not familiar with the legal community.
Establishing a reputable online brand signifies a powerful perspective of your legal practice, without the need for prospective clients to do as much homework about your brand. This article is a process or system to inspire you to effectively brand your law firm online.
Despite the fact that it may be good to have your complete practice identified with a brand name, it is also advantageous for a lawyer or department within your company to have a particular brand recognition. If we take the example of some good corporations that contain many effortlessly identifiable product lines, your lawyers, associates, partners, and legal teams can represent a particular recognizable brand from your community or area of expertise.
For attorneys, reputations are frequently hard-achieved in courtrooms through successful representation of their customers. Branding emphasizes on the earned reputation of attorneys by creating a certain image for their firm through online law firm branding.
For example, if your company has a department that has created a solid awareness in your state or district for Real Estate Planning, you would want to emphasize on this over the web. Having successful branding, you can be among the instantly identifiable, "go to" lawyers in that district.
Creating a reputable brand name online needs a multi-tiered attitude. Your online presence is imperative when it comes to law firm branding. The majority of firms online don't have an instant recognition of their brand or product, however they do not actually need this right away.
The brand of a law firm should be famous for the individuals in their law field and by the customers in the law practicing community. When a prospective customer finds that they are in need of an attorney who works in the area of expertise you work they can visit your page since your name is one of many they discover out of dozens.
It is important to create a website for your law film, which has a good, appropriate template and design, and represents your services in a marketable way. Your website must be very well optimized for the search engines. You might need the service of professional SEO experts for the purpose of establishing good web presence.
Social media is probably one of the most active methods of attracting the right visitors for your website. Social media sites are very lively platforms, which drive genuine traffic to your website - visitors who will be really valuable to your business, not just automated hits or useless traffic. Today, virtually everybody knows how to use social media, therefore this makes it one of the easiest promotional methods for all business areas, including law firm branding.
Using the methods of Internet marketing is another option for law firm branding. With the invention and popularity of the modern traffic generation methods, Internet marketing may look like an old promotional method, but in fact it's tested and proven to be one of the most stable methods of promotion. Advertising your website through PPC campaigns, e-mail newsletters, local search, Google ranking, and all other Internet marketing technique will always remain the most valuable promotional asset towards truly serious clients who are highly interested in your firm's legal services.continue...
For any SEO campaign to succeed, it is important to have highly qualified and experienced professionals who are not only able to see through the campaign, but also have the ability to adapt the campaign to fit the ever dynamic and fluid online market space.
For a law firm or independent legal practices that's keen on running a successful SEO campaign, here are three experts to help support your law firms SEO strategy and ensure its success. These might seem like unconventional SEO experts, but are roles that are defining the all-encompassing approach to building an authoritative online brand and rank-worthy website.
The role of a technical SEO expert is one of the most important roles any organization has to fill if the business wants to get the highest return on investment on their SEO campaign. A technical expert is usually charged with the responsibility of developing and implementing the appropriate SEO strategy across onsite technology, content strategy as well as link acquisition.
He or she is usually charged with the responsibility of undertaking market and competitor research and analysis, carry out technical SEO site audit of the website or social media channels and utilize both on and off page optimization strategies to ensure that these campaigns are not only implemented but are tracked and reported correctly according to laid out criteria and deadlines.
A good technical SEO expert is usually well versed in using some of the leading SEO tools such as Search Metrics, Majestic, Moz, Webmaster Tools, Google Analytic etc. they not only ensure that the original coding of the site is up to standard and SEO friendly but are also at hand to perform any required technical changes on the site so as to ensure that the site is search engine friendly and ready. For a law firm, a technical SEO expert will handle all the complexities involved in any search engine campaign.
The social media manager is bound to be a highly motivated individual with passion and experience in designing and implementing the organizations content strategy, creating and delivering relevant content, blogging as well as ensuring community participation as well as leadership. In short, this role helps to view the SEO strategy as more of an all-encompassing web presence optimization strategy that brings together multiple platforms and market touch points.
He or she is supposed to be an advocate for the company in social media spaces, engaging in relevant dialogue sessions with clients. because what you post on your social channels is the main foundation for your social media marketing campaign, the social media manager does perform a brand discovery which mainly outlines what it is about the business that makes it unique, this usually includes the firms core values and beliefs and the reasons people want to engage the law firm in business.
A good social media manager is therefore the link between your clients on the social media market space and the business. This linkage does gain a lot of importance when you take into consideration the number of people who use social media on a daily basis and are therefore at ease conducting business on the same space.
Content strategists are important for the law firm because they help the firm achieve business goals by fully maximizing the commercial impact of the content. For a content strategist, content refers to a wide variety of information such as web or digital information, blog posts, social media conversations, RSS feeds, email newsletters, web pages etc. this content usually overlaps into both online and offline forums and does require the content strategist to play a leading role in both of these facets.
A content strategist will for all intent and purposes concern himself with the entire lifecycle of content; from analyzing, planning, writing, editing, distributing, managing and eventually monitoring content in all its forms. It is therefore important to take note that there is basically no need of developing or creating a multi-channel, multimedia content strategy if your law firm does not have a qualified content strategist.
A good content strategist will therefore develop the requisite tools as well as tactics that allow your business to get the most from its content. For best results, it is advisable to get a content strategist who is well versed in legal issues.continue...

So sorry i haven't posted in a while. I've jst been pre-occupied with life and getting stuff done. New posts coming up soon. I'm still sad i wasn't working at Arise though, but i'm done sulking. Did you guys follow the runway shows? Neks2u and Bella Naija have all the photos from the catwalks. Its pretty hard not to get excited about fashion week with all the buzz all over Lagos. I enjoyed the street style too. The best fashion is definitely always on the street.
Looking at all the photos from the shows i was wowed designer after designer. We've got so much talent in this part of the world. It was also refreshing not to see so much ankara/tribal prints. Don't get me wrong. I love African print and wear them. But i'd rather see designers work with other fabrics as i think its been overflogged already.
I loved Clan, Gavin Rajah, Tiffany Amber and her protégée Ejiro Amos Tafiri which happened to be my best show . Lots of fluid, lace, earth and jewel tones. The styling was amazing too. See photos here
Thanks a lot to everyone that stops by to read my posts. Means a lot to me 🙂
PS- I've recently developed a raging sweet tooth. 'Raging' being the keyword. This cannot be good because you see, i have just one molar left. I stopped after i took the 2nd to last one out and the dentist sat me down for a serious talk. I'd been fine for almost a year but here i am again. Cadbury's dairy milk fruit and nut is the main culprit here. I need to do something about this.Your suggestions are very welcome.0

The future of Long Live Logos looks bright. The Escondido band, including three brothers and their best friend, has recorded songs with producer Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Say Anything, mewithoutYou). MTV2 will air an interview with them on its "On the Rise" segment, which will be available for download in September. Described as Todd Rundgren meets the Killers, one of their songs has been licensed for use on the soundtrack for the NBC-produced Freestyle Life based on the (Mountain) Dew Action Sports Tour.
Along with Get Back Loretta, Long Live Logos was signed to the local Pacific Records label. Pacific Records founder Brian Witkin says something seemed "dubious" about four months ago. "Long Live Logos asked us what it would take to get out of their [Pacific Records] contract."
Witkin says as part of their deal signed last year, Pacific Records recorded and released an EP and a full-length album, Mundus Vult Decipi.
But Witkin says things got "fishy" over a different part of the contract. "Part of our deal was that we paid for the recordings they did with Brad Wood." Witkin says that even though he has never heard those Wood-produced sessions, Pacific did purchase the rights to them when they signed the band. "It was a nominal fee, but we did pay them for it," says Witkin. "We thought it was strange they would ask about getting out of their deal only a month after their first CD came out." Witkin says Pacific forked out at least $1600 for tour support for the band.
"The band told us they were having trouble getting the recordings from Brad Wood," says Stephan Georgi, who has taken over operation and ownership of Pacific Records from Witkin.
Logos leader Danny Castro explains. "Brad said [Pacific Records] didn't pay him so [the recordings] weren't theirs. He said this is his property and that they were recorded before the contract."
Georgi says he backed down and sent a letter relinquishing any claims to the Brad Wood recordings. "It definitely wouldn't surprise me if these guys break big and move on to a bigger label. When that happens, we have their first CD and first EP. Their fans will want to get their earlier stuff, and I'm okay with that. With this agreement, we can all move forward. Otherwise we would be in a state of limbo. I have 100 percent [ownership] of those first recordings."
Long Live Logos appears Wednesday, August 8, at Lestat's.

We usually ship by US Mail, Priority Mail. This is often the least expensive shipping method, but it has limited tracking options. Also, our shipping cost does not include insurance. All parts are shipped FOB. The risk of loss passes to the purchaser when the parts leave our shop. If you would like to ship using another carrier such as UPS, or would like to insure your purchase in transit, please contact us.
Some of our parts are nearly always in stock, like: Roadbook Readers, Universal items, ICO VRLs, and some other items. Those things we usually send out the day you order them. Nearly everything else on this site must be Special Ordered. We sell only a small volume of most of these parts, so we do not stock them. However, we get regular shipments from our suppliers. This means that you usually wait only 2-4 weeks for delivery of Special Order parts. We'll contact you if we think delivery will take much longer.

Hey all,
I have thought about different ways to do a 'weaved' design and this one has been rattling around in my head for quite a while. I was thinking that adding a slight curve to one of the directions might add some dimension to it. Not sure it worked, but I think the result is quite simple and pleasing. Kind of weave, kind of bamboo, kind of like a bunch of D-cell batteries stacked in rows.
I ripped 1 inch strips of maple and drew a long triangle on their tops so that I would be able to put them back into their original positions. I then took them over to the bandsaw and cut them into curved pieces. I used circle/radius cutting setup with a fence and a 1/4 inch blade. The base of the jig was clamped to the table and never moved. I made a simple indexing pin (dowel) on the left side of the blade that I could push it forward like a stop block to create repeatable lengths. I would pull this pin back slightly to get out of the way while swinging the cut.
I marked the top of an identically sized stick of walnut. I did not care to put the walnut pieces back into their original positions, but the curve on the left might not be exactly the same as the curve on the right, so I did not want to put a piece in upside down. I then used the same basic technique to cut all the small pieces.
I did a simple glue-up of the individual sticks. I just pressed them against a reference board that was clamped to my bench. I used a piece of marble covered with wax paper as the bottom flat reference. I just pressed the pieces together for about 5 minutes, moved the subassembly aside, and then started on the next row. After the rows had dried overnight, I lightly drum sanded the sides flat and glued them all together. Then I let the whole shebang dry overnight and surfaced it. The finish is mineral oil.
All in all, quite a relaxing build. Comments or suggestions always welcome.

Hey Steve this an Amazing board and Jig. I might be wrong but it seems Patron made a jig that made a similar shape. Not meant to criticize just an observation. I've been wrong before. It's interesting how all the great LJers come up with these great techniques.

Thanks guys.
@Jim, yup, Patron did the same kind of thing for one of his wall/door jobs. He does a wonderful job on describing it in one of his blogs. I also had used this exact same arc jig for some of my cheese slicers. DeGoose used one last week for his cutting boards. This is just another use.

That looks great, Steve. I'm glad to know someone has something other than rocks (like me) rattling around in his head.

Great work Steve – you definitely picked the right option for the pattern. Nice clean job, a lot of curved surfaces to keep true to one another.
Again – great piece of work!!

@Chuck, :) Actually, it really is a stress-less build and glue-up.
@Dusty, I also thought about real thin contrasting vertical pieces between the maple strips. Or just nixing the weave concept and throwing in a few different colors of little pieces randomly here and there.

We studied the prevalence rate of byssinosis in cotton carders and spinners. Disabling byssinosis occurs among retired cotton workers (New Eng. J. Med. 277: 170, 1967), but byssinosis prevalence among active workers has not been investigated. Also, byssinosis is thought to occur only after 8 to 20 years' dust exposure. The present study yields data on prevalence and induction period in a mill where labor turnover is unusually rapid. Respiratory symptoms were recorded by questionnaire in 214 men, and lung function tests (forced expiratory volume (FEV1.0) and maximum expiratory flow volume (MEFV) curves) were performed before and after work on

Great shirt! The t-shirt fabric is the softest I can remember on a new t-shirt. As a collector, I see A lot of prints and decals. This shirt is truly the good stuff and will last decades.
Geri's Hamburgers was a Rockford-based fast food chain with more than a dozen stores across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin at its peak, including at least six in the Rockford area and two in Madison. Geri's was similar in style to the early McDonald's restaurants. They had little or no inside seating and were geared towards fast take-out service. First opening in 1962, there were at least 13 Geri's locations by 1980. In 1981, the Geri's corporation folded, but several stores continued to operate independently. The last Geri's was in Beloit, Wisconsin and closed in 1999.
52% combed and ring-spun cotton 48% polyester, preshrunk, 4.2 oz. Super soft with a fashion fit.
Great shirt! The t-shirt fabric is the softest I can remember on a new t-shirt. As a collector, I see A lot of prints and decals. This shirt is truly the good stuff and will last decades.
A very nice t-shirt and the logo was very nice also. I love it!!
I ordered the 2xl because it was the largest size offered, but It's too small. I gave it to my wife and it fits her well, only slightly big. She typically wears a large.
Geri's T-shirts are very nostalgic - a great reminder of your youth!
Everything went well, but I did have one issue with the material for the shirt, It just seemed a little bit flimsy.
I love this t-shirt! But, compared to other shirts in this size, it seems a bit tight.
Geri's was a family favorite growing up in the 60's in Rockford. This shirt makes me happy! The style, fit, color, quality and logo on my women's long sleeve top are perfect!
Received a lot of compliments on my t shirt
This was ordered as a gift for someone who worked at Geri's Burgers around 45 years go. He loved the gift. I haven't gotten feedback on how well it fits, but it seemed to be high quality, and the packaging was done very nicely (wooden nickle, plastic wrapped with a brand label, a postcard, and a decal). Good gift!
I live in Victorville CA and got this shirt as a Bday this shirt present I grew up with the guys whose Father founded Geris in the 1950s Gene Hawker and Richard Simonovich Geris is for Gend and Richard how fun
Great product. Quick delivery.
The Geri's logo shirt is high quality, carefully placed, printed and of overall higher quality than similar products. I'm extremely pleased. I will continue to recommend Bygone to others as the overall experience is among the best I've had from a online vendor!
Was very impressed and have received alot great comments i plan on buying in future
The only thing that would make this t-shirt 5 stars is if it were offered in a heavier fabric t-shirt. The design is 5 stars. the shirt itself, 3 stars. PLEASE offer this, and ALL your designs, in sweatshirts.
Geri's in Beloit, WI closed in 1995 due to a road construction that affected the business very badly. I was the last independent owner at that time. Bought it in 1992 until I closed it down.
We purchased this shirt for my father-in-law. He was very excited to receive it. He said it seemed like great quality and is a fun shirt. He even got comments when he wore it out and about. I had made a mistake when ordering and the customer service was great. Thanks for a fun product!
It's a good quality shirt for the price. The print looks great, good quality as well. I wish they would tell you the fit though, I like fitted shirts and the large fits bigger than larges I normally buy. I like the shirt, just wish I had a medium.
As soon as I saw this shirt, I had to order one for my brother and one for me right away. Who doesn't love that little hamburger dude? Print quality is fantastic, shirt quality is excellent, fit is great, and the piece de resistance was the Bygone tag made from a pog. Can't wait to go back to Beloit to show it off and make everyone wonder where I got it.
I like the image very much, nice solid printing, but I think the shirt runs small, maybe should've ordered an XXL, or if you offered a XL tall.
This Geri's shirt got immediate cheers from those who grew up in Janesville or Beloit.
I ordered my Geri's T-Shirt Saturday afternoon and it was waiting for me in todays mail. You can't beat service like that anywhere! Wish Geri's was still around ... I liked it better than the Golden Arches. The one in Freeport closed in 1974.
I had to come to the website to order a Geri's t-shirt for my sister. I wore mine while on a family trip to Canada and my sister told me to give it to her! As soon as I returned I ordered it. Everyone who sees it wants one too so I posted the purchase on Facebook. It looks completely authentic and since it's seen a couple of washings I can say it is made of sturdy material. Thanks, Keith!
I loved the shirt, brought back childhood memories. I would of liked Rockford, IL somewhere on the shirt: small print on a sleeve maybe.
Great idea! Brings back memories to all. One guy thought it was a relic, said "do you know what that's worth?" I laughed and said, yes, $18.00!
I love this shirt. Everyone that knows Geris thinks it's a relic. Best buy in a longtime!!!
I wore my Geri's T to the City Market and had over a dozen people stop and ask about it. One guy wanted to buy it off my back!

Tips and Tricks for the Laidback Gardener
Looking for a beautiful garden with a minimum of effort? Here are some tips and tricks to help!
Mulch, mulch, mulch
Mulch is the laidback gardener's best friend. It covers up weeds, deters weeds and gives your garden beds that professional landscaped look. What's more, it gradually breaks down and enriches your soil – so you're even fertilizing as well. Mulch really is the gift that keeps on giving!
Ground cover
If you don't want weeds to cover your garden, then grow something else there instead! Weeds find it hard to get through the dense canopy provided by vigorous ground cover. Plant blue or white convolvulus or gazanias in sunny spots for beautiful cover, or look at native violets and Felicia daisies, or erigeron which will thrive almost anywhere! Some forms of grevillea make good ground cover and attract many native birds.
Growing native plants demonstrates that you are a keen supporter of Australian flora and fauna – congratulations. It also shows that you've realised that native plants suit our climate and are likely to need less attention than non-natives, but, sssh, you don't have to tell anybody else that. Many natives do need some watering when they are first planted, but once they are established they will grow happily with little water and little attention. An annual trim after flowering will keep them looking good and prolong their life. (If you decide to fertilize natives, please use fertilizer designed for them – they need less phosphorus than non-native plants.)
'Perennials' is a magical word for the laidback gardener. 'Perennials' simply means that these are plants that flower every year, year after year after year… What could be better? Many are hardy and need little care – agapanthus will grow almost anywhere and hostas are happy in semi-shade. Second only to 'perennial' is 'self seeding' – these are plants that die away, but leave seeds in the ground to pop up again next year. Nasturtiums, alyssum, cosmos and zinnias can usually be relied on to make reappearances the following season.
Stepping stones
This might sound suspiciously like landscaping, but it's landscaping lite. Weeds can't grow under large flat stones – and what could be cuter than a set of stepping stones, winding their way through your beautifully mulched garden beds? You'll look like a professional gardener and you don't need to confess to anybody that it's all a weed-killing strategy.
Don't be afraid! Weedkillers such as Round Up and Zero are your friend. Just follow all the safety precautions on the containers and be a little careful about how and when you use them. They're ideal for clearing weeds around paved areas and driveways, or for large areas where you have more weed than plant and might be better starting again from scratch.
This type of weedkiller works by killing the plants on touch, so they can also be used with great care around other areas, if you can keep them away from plants you want to keep. Avoid using them on a windy day! Or, instead of spraying, apply with a paint brush to the weeds you want to kill. Although that's getting so laborious you might be better simply to…weed them out.
Coffee-break weeding
On fine mornings make your wake-up cup of coffee, grab an old cushion and take them outside for ten minutes. Kneel, or even sit, on your cushion next to a garden bed and pick away at the weeds while you drink your coffee. It's not hardcore gardening and it's a fantastic way to wake up – out in the fresh air with your coffee by your side. If you can manage this five or six days a week, you'll have done an hour or so of weeding almost without noticing. It may even be all that you'll need to do if you've followed the tips above!

HOW TO Field Dress a WILD Hog
Site Map
Encouraging hunters to take precautions when dressing and handling
harvested wild hogs.
Wild hogs, though not originally native to Florida, are now found within all 67
counties, and like any wild animal, can carry parasites and diseases - some
of which can be transmitted to people. One such disease for hunters to be
concerned with is swine brucellosis.
The FWC is advising hunters handling wild hog carcasses to take the
following precautions to protect themselves from exposure to this bacterial
Avoid eating, drinking or using tobacco when field-dressing or
handling carcasses.
Use latex or rubber gloves when handling the carcass or raw meat.
Avoid direct contact with blood, reproductive organs and fecal matter.
Wearing long sleeves, eye protection and covering any scratches,
open wounds or lesions will help provide protection.
Clean and disinfect knives, cleaning area, clothing and any other
exposed surfaces when finished.
Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
When cooking wild hog, as with any wild game, care in handling is an
important part of disease prevention, and the meat should be cooked
thoroughly to 170 degrees. Swine brucellosis is not transmitted through
properly cooked meat.
Brucellosis in people is called undulant fever and could be transmitted if a
hunter cuts him/herself while field-dressing a wild hog or was exposed to
the animal's blood or bodily fluids. Symptoms include a recurrent fever,
chills, night sweats, weakness, headaches, back pain, swollen joints, loss
of appetite and weight loss.
Hunters who exhibit these symptoms or may have been exposed should
contact a physician.
Dogs, especially hog hunting dogs and dogs fed or exposed to raw feral
swine meat or offal, are also at risk for infection. Infected dogs not only may
develop swine brucellosis but could pass the disease on to people. Please
contact your veterinarian for further information.
Chances when
Field Dressing
We field dress hundreds of hogs each year during our wildlife nuisance
hog hunting. Hogs are three times the risk as deer for blood borne
diseases. Latex or Nitrile gut gloves are your best bet, very inexpensive
and a cost saver for us but safety is the primary concern while field
dressing a wild hog. Fit and feel is near perfect and without limitations,
gloves also help your grip on your knife and keep your clothing much
cleaner. Being disposable is best as you do not want to reuse anything
that has been in contact with wild animal fluids.

Being lactose intolerant can be a bummer. You are not able to eat most of your favorite foods such as pizza, ice cream, etc.[1] Cornbread is a favorite for many people, but most recipes contain milk. No need to fear, this article will give you a whole new way of cooking your cornbread!
- Mayonnaise
- Eggs
- Sugar, Cinnamon, and/or other seasonings (Optional)
- Corn Muffin Mix
Part 1 of 2:
1Open your bag/box of Corn Muffin Mix and pour it into one of your bowls. When pouring, pour slowly and gently so the powder does not explode into your face or counter top.
2Add any and all other dry ingredients you would like to add to your cornbread such as sugar, cinnamon, flour, salt, pepper, and so on.
- The corn muffin mix most likely already contains salt and flour in the pre-made ingredients. When adding extra salt and/or flour, you may not want to add too much.
3Crack 1 egg into an empty mixing bowl. You can decide of course whether or not you will be using the egg whites, yolk, or the entire egg.
4Add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise to the egg bowl. As shocking as it may seem, mayonnaise is a perfect substitute for milk when making cornbread for the lactose intolerant. You won't really notice the difference in taste in the cornbread; it's mainly for holding your cornbread together so it doesn't crumble apart.
- It's a myth that all mayonnaise contains milk/aged milk, but some brands will have milk added to it. Pay close attention to the ingredients listed on the mayonnaise bottle.
5Stir! Pull out your whisk and/or electric mixer and stir the wet ingredients for about 10-20 seconds.
- If your mix ends up too thick, simply add a tablespoon of water and stir it in. Repeat this until your mix is at your desired thickness/thinness.
6Pour your wet ingredients into your mixing bowl full of dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly mixed
- Be cautious not to over-whip your cornbread mix; stirring for too long will cause this.
Part 2 of 2:
1Leave your cornbread mix out at room temperature for about 2 minutes or so to let the ingredients settle. Preheat your oven to 400°F while your cornbread mix sits out.[2]
2Spray your cooking pan with cooking spray so your cornbread will not stick to the sides. Make sure that the pan you are using is "Deep Dish" as if you were about to bake a layer of cake. Using thin cookie sheets may result in your cornbread cooking entirely too fast thus breaking apart, and then you'll have burnt cornbread cookie-looking things. That doesn't sound tasty, right?[3]
3Slowly stir your cornbread mix a final time and pour it slowly into your cooking pan. Spread out the cornbread mix evenly in your pan so all sides will cook evenly.
- Avoid overfilling the pan though; the cornbread mix will rise in the over and if it's over filled, it will rise over the sides and make a complete, lactose free, mess!
4Place the pan into the oven and let it sit in the oven until it reaches a golden-brown color.[4] Periodically stick a knife into the middle of the cornbread mix and lift up the knife, If the cornbread mix is still wet and sticks onto the knife, it must cook longer.[5]
- This baking process may take 20 minutes maximum. Always remember to constantly check on your food because it will cook fast meaning it may also burn fast.
- Different oven racks may make the cooking time a few minutes longer or a few minutes shorter, always keep a watchful eye on the mix.
5When it's done, remove from the oven. Let it cool before cutting it up and enjoying the results of your hard work![6]Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionDo I have to add oil?Community AnswerNo, you do not have to add oil.
QuestionDo you have to add milk?Canvas.createCommunity AnswerNo, milk is not one of the required ingredients; the mayonnaise substitutes for it. However, some mayonnaise may contain dairy products, so be careful if you're trying to avoid dairy.
QuestionCan I cook corn bread with vegetable oil?Community AnswerYou can spread oil around the pan then pour the batter into that.

Speaking of technology, it is safe to say that technology project is the most difficult type of project to fund. It is not because the project is not promising, but simply because most of the times it requires huge amount of money so it is very risky for the investors. As a result, many startups find it hard to find investors even if they have advertised their projects in various crowdfunding platforms.
But this situation will change soon because Hypercube Ventures is come to the rescue. Hypercube Ventures is a platform that will make it easier for investors to find technology based projects to fund. This platform will help many great technological innovations to come to realization since it offers so many benefits for the startups and investors.
Benefits for Startups
Finding an investor is never an easy job. When the startups post their project to other crowdfunding platforms, they need to fight for top position with other projects in other fields. However, since Hypercube Ventures is dedicated for technology innovation, it will be easier for the startups to find an investor since the investors are coming to the platform with a specific goal that is finding a technology based startup to fund.
Furthermore, the startups can also get more money for their company by inviting investors to the platform. If the startups have found an investor for their projects, they can send invitation to their investors to register to the platform. If the startups manage to invite investors to join the platform, they will get financial reward.
Benefits for Investors
When it comes to investing, the faster the investors join the project, the higher the capital will increase. Hypercube Ventures can offer that benefit since it allows investors to join a project from its early stage. Furthermore, since every project posted in this platform is presented transparently, the investors can freely choose which projects can get them the highest returns.
The technology project posted in this platform is exit-speed projects with implementation period around 1 to 3 years. It can reduce the risks the investors have to bear since they don't have to wait long to see the results of the project. Furthermore, Hypercube Ventures also provide legal help for investors just in case they have problems with the startups they invest their fund in.

WHO have just released some guidelines for the prevention and control of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aerugionsa. This guideline builds on the excellent WHO core components for IPC guidelines.
UK guidelines for the control of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria
The UK guidelines for the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) are published this week. It's useful that the publication of these guidelines coincides with Antibiotic Awareness Week because MDR-GNB are brining us ever closer to the end of antibiotics. Although the guidelines don't cover the treatment of MDR-GNB (this will be addressed in a forthcoming guideline), these highly resistant MDR-GNB leave few therapeutic options. Even when they remain susceptible to some antibiotics, these antibiotics are not front-line antibiotics for a reason (including poor tissue penetration and side effects). Furthermore, we are already seeing resistance to last-line (aka end of the golden-antibiotic-road) antibiotics e.g. colistin. Therefore, the old adage that 'prevention is better than cure' has never been so true!
Guidelines to control multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria: an 'evidence-free zone'
I recently had a review published in CMI comparing EU guidelines for controlling multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB). I included the following guidelines in my review: ECCMID 2014, Irish MDRO, PHE CPE, HPS CPE, ECDC systematic review on CPE (not strictly a guideline, but did include some recommendations). A couple of important points arise:
European approaches to MDR-GNR prevention and control
I was privileged to be asked to speak at the inaugural Healthcare Infection Society Middle East Summit in Dubai this week on 'European approaches to MDR-GNR prevention and control'. You can download my slides here.
I began with a (probably too lengthy) preamble outlining some overall points:
- CRE is a big deal in Europe, especially in the UK, and has prompted unprecedented action on a national level in the form of a Toolkit, a Patient Safety Alert and a letter to all CEOs requesting (demanding?) an action plan. The political picture is similar elsewhere in Europe and in the USA. Although this level of government scrutiny can be challenging, on the whole I think it's beneficial, and is probably a sizeable factor in the successes achieved with MRSA and CDI.
- Do we go universal or targeted? There's been much discussion recently about abandoning traditional targeted (aka vertical) approaches in favour of universal (aka horizontal). Interesting, all guidelines that I could lay my hands on favoured a targeted approach for MDR-GNR, centred around screening and isolation of carriers.
- Where is the evidence? We are hamstrung by the lack of high quality studies telling us with any certainty what works to control MDR-GNR. Pretty much all studies to date are either performed in an outbreak setting (regression to the mean…) or include multiple interventions (which worked?), or both. The few studies that evaluated a single intervention in an endemic setting are underpowered to deliver a meaningful conclusion. So, we need bigger and better studies!
- How do you produce good guidelines – who is on the guideline writing dream team, and what are the key pitfalls to avoid. Plus, importantly, how to good guidelines translate through a good policy into good practice?
Do you know your CRE from your CRAB?
I gave a talk today at a meeting on combating carbapenem-resistant organisms. My angle was to clearly differentiate the epidemiology of the Enterobacteriaceae (i.e. CRE) from the non-fermenters (most importantly carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii – CRAB), and you can download my slides here.
I've blogged before about how confusing the terminology surrounding multidrug-resistant Gram-negative rods has become. Non-expert healthcare workers have little chance in distinguishing CRE from CPE from CRO from CPO. So we need to help them by developing some clear terminology, given the gulf in epidemiology between CRE and CRAB (see below).
CRE and CRAB are like apples and pears: they share some basic microbiology but that's about where the comparison ends!
So, I think we should talk in terms of CRE (and CPE for confirmed carbapenemase carriers), and CRNF (or CRAB for A. baumannii and CRPA for P. aeruginosa). I don't think that CRO is a useful term – in fact, I find it rather confusing. Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and A. baumannii (CRAB) are both emerging problems, but they are not the same problem.
Filling the gaps in the guidelines to control resistant Gram-negative bacteria
I gave the third and final installment of a 3-part webinar series on multidrug-resistant Gram-negative rods for 3M recently. You can download my slides here, and access the recording here.
During the webinar, I provided an overview of the available guidelines to control CRE and other resistant Gram-negative bacteria. I then identified gaps in the guidelines, in terms of definitions of standard precautions, outbreak epidemiology and who should be on the guidelines writing dream team. Finally, I discussed some controversial areas in terms of effective interventions: patient isolation, staff cohorting and selective digestive decontamination.
One of the most important points when considering infection prevention and control guidelines is the issue of 'standard precautions'. What do we apply to every patient, every time? As you can see from Figure 1 below, 'standard precautions' is far from standardized. This is problematic when developing and implementing prevention and control guidelines.
Figure 1: differences in the definition of 'standard precautions'.
I had the opportunity to ask the webinar audience a few questions throughout the webinar, which are outlined in Figure 2.
Figure 2: response to the questions from the 120 or so participants.
I was somewhat concerned but not that surprised that more than a quarter of the audience did not know where to access control guidelines for MDR-GNR. I suppose this means that we need to do a better job of signposting the location of the various guidelines available. Here's a non-exhaustive list for starters:
- US CDC CRE Toolkit.
- US AHRQ CRE Toolkit.
- UK Public Health England CPE Tookit.
- UK ESBL guidelines.
- ECDC risk assessment on the spread of spreading (CPE).
- Canadian guidelines for carbapenem resistant GNB.
- Australian recommendations for CRE control.
- ESCMID MDR-GNR control guidelines.
There was a fairly even split between active and passive surveillance to detect outbreaks. The problem with relying on passive surveillance (i.e. clinical cultures) is that there's a good chance that the 'horse will have bolted', and you have a large outbreak on your hands, before a problem is detected. For this reason, I favour active surveillance.
But who to screen? In the case of CRE, I was pleased to see that virtually nobody said nobody. There was a pretty even split between everybody, high-risk individuals or all individuals in high-risk specialties. Accurately identifying individuals who meet screening triggers is operationally challenging, as outlined by the "backlash" to the UK toolkit, so I think screening all patients in high-risk specialties (e.g. ICU) makes most sense.
So, what works to control MDR-GNR transmission? We don't really know, so are left with a "kitchen sink" (aka bundle approach) (more on this in my recent talk at HIS). We need higher quality studies providing some evidence as to what actually works to control MDR-GNR. Until then, we need to apply a healthy dose of pragmatism!
Being bitten by antibiotic resistant CRAB hurts! (Acinetobacter that is.)
Guest bloggers Dr. Rossana Rosa and Dr. Silvia Munoz-Price (bios below) write…
In everyday practice of those of us who work in intensive care units, a scenario frequently arises: a patient has a surveillance culture growing carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB). While the ultimate course of action we take will be dictated by the patient's clinical status, that surveillance culture, in the appropriate context, can provide us with valuable information.
For this study1, we looked at a cohort of patients admitted to a trauma intensive care unit, and sought to identify the risk factors for CRAB infections. We found that patients who had surveillance cultures positive for CRAB had a hazard ratio of 16.3 for the development of clinical infections with this organism, compared to patient's who remained negative on surveillance, even after adjusting for co-morbidities and antibiotic exposures. Since our results were obtained as part of a well-structured surveillance program, we know that colonization preceded infection. Unfortunately for some of our patients, the time from detection of colonization to development of clinical infections was a matter of days. With therapeutic options for the effective treatment of infections with CRAB limited to tigecycline and polymixins, the consequences of delaying therapy are often fatal. As described by Lee et al, a delay of 48 hour in the administration of adequate therapy for CRAB bacteremia can result in a 50% difference in mortality rate2.
Surveillance cultures are not perfect, and may not detect all colonized patients, but they can be valuable tools in the implementation of infection control strategies3, and as we found in our study, can also potentially serve to guide clinical decision that impact patient care and even survival.

Recently, Steam was updated with engine enhancements that were added primarily for DOD: Source. Along with these enhancements came the addition of the 7.2 .vtf file format, which is used in a handful of DOD: Source textures. The 7.2 .vtf file format adds support for volumetric textures that, to my knowledge, are only used internally by the engine at this time. The SDK has not been updated.
VTFLib v1.2.0 adds support for the 7.2 .vtf file format and fixes the RGBA16161616F encoder and decoder (this is a HDR format and up until now it wasn't clear how it was being represented). I strongly recommend that users update to the new versions of VTFLib and VTF Plug-In as the previous versions may corrupt 7.2 textures. Note: the volumetric textures have not been tested as I have been unable to get a sample from Valve. So lets just pray it all works... I will try to update VTFEdit with improved HDR texturing capabilities in the future, but right now I am simply too busy.

To Lace. v.a. [from the noun.]
- To fasten with a string run through eilet holes.
I caused a fomentation to be made, and put on a laced sock, by which the weak parts were strengthened. Wiseman.
At this, for new replies he did not stay,
But lac'd his crested helm, and strode away. Dryden.
These glitt'ring spoils, now made the victor's gain,
He to his body suits; but suits in vain:
Messapus' helm he finds among the rest,
And laces on, and wears the waving crest. Dryd. Æneis.
Like Mrs. Primly's great belly; she may lace it down before, but it burnishes on her hips. Congr. Way of the World.
When Jenny's stays are newly lac'd,
Fair Alma plays about her waist. Prior.
- To adorn with gold or silver textures sewed on.
It is but a night-gown in respect of yours; cloath of gold and coats, and lac'd with silver. Shakes. Much ado about Not.
- To embellish with variegations.
Look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder East;
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountains tops. Shakespeare.
Then clap four slices of pilaster on't,
That, lac'd with bits of rustick, makes a front. Pope.
- To beat; whether from the form which L'Estrange uses, or by corruption of lash.
Go you, and find me out a man that has no curiosity at all, or I'll lace your coat for ye. L'Estrange.

Side Effects of Levocetirizine
Some of the most common levocetirizine side effects include drowsiness, coughing, and nosebleeds. However, most people are able to take the drug without any problems. If side effects do occur, they are usually minor and can easily be treated easily. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop more serious side effects, such as signs of an allergic reaction or severe drowsiness.
An Introduction to Side Effects of LevocetirizineAs with any medicine, side effects are possible with levocetirizine dihydrochloride (Xyzal®). However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with levocetirizine. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
Serious Levocetirizine Side EffectsLevocetirizine is usually safe to use and rarely causes serious side effects. However, some side effects, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to your healthcare provider. These serious side effects of levocetirizine include but are not limited to:
- Severe drowsiness that interferes with your daily activities
- Difficulty passing urine
- Signs of an allergic reaction, including an unexplained rash, hives, itching, and unexplained swelling (especially of the lips, mouth, or throat).

The holidays are upon us and that means more gatherings with family and friends, admiring glittering lights, enjoying decadent treats and decorating a beautifully adorned tree – all of which put me in the holiday spirit. Yet there is something else beyond all the hustle and bustle that give meaning to the season – the gift of giving.
It's become a tradition for my family to gather new and used toys for a local women's shelter each year. A few days before Christmas we load up the kids and head into downtown Phoenix. On the ride there we talk about why it's important to give back and we remind our children about how fortunate we are for the simple things in life which are often taken for granted. The first year I thought our kids would have a hard time parting with their toys and understanding why something new wasn't theirs to keep. But they didn't. They began to search around their playroom, looking in their toy bins, bookshelves, and closets to find more items. At that moment I remember feeling overcome with emotion, mostly grateful and proud, that my children had understood the true meaning of giving.
To this day we haven't been inside the shelter and we'll never have the opportunity to meet the deserving women and children who receive these gifts. It's knowing that we might have made Christmas just a little brighter for those women struggling to make ends meet or trying to start a new life, and for the children who wouldn't otherwise get to unwrap a special toy, that's what I love the most. It's what makes the season so special.
In this issue you'll learn about the magic behind Zoppé Italian Circus. Your heart will ache for the surviving families of fallen officers who come together in the midst of tragedy. You'll be inspired by the words of Steve Zabilski, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul, encouraging families to give back not only this holiday season but all year long.
From all of us at Chandler Lifestyle, we want to wish you and your family a very happy, healthy and safe holiday season.

Financial Lender Liability
"Better late than never, but never late is better."
- Harvey McKay
Just to be clear, SO&L does NOT defend financial institutions in lender liability matters…….We sue them on behalf of our clients!
Briefly, lender liability law states that lenders must treat their borrowers honestly and fairly. When that's not the case, lenders can be subject to borrower litigation under a variety of legal claims usually involving breach of contract and/or fraud.
A loan agreement is a contract. As such, if it was fraudulently induced or there was lack of mutual consent, the agreement cannot be enforced. If the loan contract was breached by the lender, the lender can be sued.
A common remedy pursued by borrowers when a breach of a loan agreement has occurred is the recovery of damages. Said recovery can include lost opportunity, lost profits and the difference between the loan amount and the costs for obtaining a new/replacement loan.
Lawsuits involving financial institutions involve complex issues that often include: defining the fiduciary relationship (was the bank acting as a fiduciary or an advisor) and/or was there an arms length creditor – borrower relationship.
Even if there was a default on a loan, the financial institution must act prudently in all actions taken following default. If collateral has been wrongfully repossessed or disposed of, the lender may lose certain rights, forfeit its security interest or be held liable for damages. "Commercial reasonableness" must be exercised by the lender.
Because the area of lender liability law is changing quickly, lenders and borrowers' rights activists are busy lobbying in state legislatures and Congress for changes to benefit their representative sides.
And due to all that lobbying activity, the time to have your case evaluated is NOW. Contact SO&L before changes in applicable law reduce or restrict your rights and remedies.
We invite you to call us at 818-461-8500 or you may prefer to use our Confidential Contact Form.
