Several of my blog friends/colleagues are Mac users and very tech savvy. Vijay (Scanman) has gently nudged me into doing this one. In his recent post, he explains it
This post is my contribution to the series of posts that a bunch of us agreed to post following a conversation on twitter (relevant tweets here, here & here).
The theme: core Mac/iPhone applications for doctors / healthcare professionals.
I was a bit apprehensive about posting after Tim's masterpiece of Mac-geekery.
But I decided to go ahead and post a list similar to the ones posted by Cris, Walter and Theresa.
I am not a mac user, other than my recent addition of my iPhone. I do not feel that I am tech savvy, but Vijay is encouraging me to do this post. Part of my reason for blogging is to learn, so here goes.
I feel (know) that many of my online friends are much more tech savvy than I am (Moof, Enrico, Rob, Walter, symtym, Cris, and Vijay). They are slowly increasing my knowledge and tech use.
PC hardware that I use.
Toshiba Satellite A105 - My personal laptop. 2002 model, Windows XP operating system
Screen Size: 15.4 inches diagonal
Weight: 6 lbs
Processor Options: Core Duo, Intel Pentium M, 1.6 GHz came with 1 GB RAM which I recently increased to 1.99 GB
Graphics Options: Integrated, nVidia Go 7300 (Dedicated), nVidia Go 7600 (Dedicated)
Home Computer, etc
HP Pavillion -- model a6400f--our home computer. This was recently acquired after spring storm fried our hard drive on the old computer. Lightening came in through the phone line so bypassed all the surge protection. I was out-of-town at the Physics Reunion. My husband was working out-of-town, so no one home. Felt lucky that the house didn't catch on fire.
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2200 Dual Core Processor; 3GB PC2-5300 DDR2 Memory; 500GB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive; v.92 56Kbps Modem, Gigabit Ethernet; Vista Home Premium
Monitor is the HP w17e, a 17 in flat screen.
Home printer is the HP Officejet J5780 all-in-one. I used to be able to print from my laptop, but somehow haven't managed to get the new computer to allow me to do so. I admit I haven't spent much time trying to correct it.
We have a Linksys 2.4 GH wireless broadband router (allows me to use my lap top anywhere while my husband uses the main computer). We have DSL through AT&T for our Internet connection.
Office Computer, etc.
AMD Athlon 64 Processor, 3800, 2.41 GHz, Graphics Adapter: nVidia GeForce 6150 LE , Total HD Size (GB): 200; MS Windows XP Professional Version 2002
Monitor is the HP vx17e, a 17 in flat screen.
Printers: HP Deskjet 3915, Epson Stylus CX 7800 (also a scanner/copier)
Fax (not hooked to my computer): HP 1040
Copier: Brother DCP 8045D
Type Writer: Smith Corona DX 4600 (when there are forms that need to be filled out and would take too much "fussing" to get lined up properly in computer/printer)
Browsers - AOL primarily, but have added Firefox to my laptop and office computers. I use IE when listening to Blog Talk Radio, as the techs there told me (via e-mail) that BTR was designed to work with IE). I am not sure I like the tab system, but am giving it a try. I have used AOL so long that I am much more comfortable with it and have things book marked and my favorites in the toolbar. I am beginning to get the Firefox toolbar set up with my favorites (Medscape, JPRS, NPR, etc)
Backup: I am not as good with backup as I should be. I know this, so about a year ago I bought on-line backup storage through Norton and now my laptop and office computer routinely backup without me having to think about it. I have it set to backup my documents, my patient information files, my photos, my Quicken files, etc. I have book-marked this post by Joshua Swimmer, MD regarding "Bulletproof Backup Strategies" so I can improve there.
Mobile Phone - the new 3G iPhone, which my husband gave to me for my birthday. I sync it to my laptop and office computer, but not my home computer since I share that one with my husband. I use the password protection feature. So far I have added the following apps: NYTimes, Twitterriffic, Facebook, Evernote, Weatherbug, Epocrates Rx, and Mediquations.
Cameras --
Canon Sure Shot Z115 -- I have had this camera since I started my practice in 1990. It is the camera that I use most often for patient photos. It is a 35 mm and takes good pictures.
Polaroid Spectra System -- Use to take photos in the office, especially when I need one the same day to send with a pre-approval letter.
Polaroid Macro 5 SLR -- Very nice for taking extreme close ups of small lesions, ie nevi or scars on faces.
Kodak EasyShare C713 -- I bought this camera shortly after I began to blog so I could share quilt and other photos. So far have only used for personal, blog pictures. I like having the negatives for patient photos, but am finding it more and more difficult to get them developed.
Core Software
On my laptop and office computer, MS Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 -- Don't use this much at home, but it allows me to read documents e-mailed to me when Word is used. I much prefer Word Perfect for my letter writing, etc. I use the Outlook calendar and contact. To learn the ExCel, I made myself use it for keeping up with my CME's, breast implant patients (name, date of surgery, deflation, replacement/removal, etc), and other such information. I have never writer a power point presentation.
Windows Live Writer -- This is via Dr Rob who recommended it to me shortly after I started writing my blog. I have it on all my computers, so I can work on posts from any of them. It is a free download from MicroSoft. There are add-ons that allow you to insert videos, etc.
WordPerfect 11 on my office computer. This is the word processor program I use for letters, office procedure notes, yearly Christmas newsletter for my med school class, etc. I know how to justify the right and left sides of the letters with this program. I think it looks neater. [Vijay has recently in an e-mail told me how to do this with MS Word, so will have to try it.]
Adobe Reader for reading pdf documents, on all my computers. I have not learned how to write a pdf, but would like to do so.
Quicken to keep track of my bank accounts, etc.
TaxCut-- yes, I do my own taxes.
Physician Office Manager for dealing with patient addresses, insurance info/filing, etc. No I haven't managed to add a EMR system. I am able to file insurance electronically, but don't do so. It is more expensive for me to do it that way as I only file less than ten each month. So I print them out. Also, when it is a surgical procedure (ie a reduction mammoplasty) I need to send the operative and path reports with the insurance bill. That is not possible with electronic billing.
iTunes -- for music, podcasts, etc, on all my computers
AOL's Mail and GMail for email.
Now for some of the Fun stuff that I couldn't do without…
I use Bloglines to keep up with the blogs I read. As I find more and more, that is getting more difficult to do. Anyone know what the limit is to follow and actually read?
Evernote - for saving interesting stuff for future perusal. Thanks to Cris. I really like this application!
I'll end my post with the end of Vijay's:
That brings me to the end of a rather long and an unusually technical post. I hope it wasn't a total waste of your time. I'll end with this tweet from twitter-pal Jen McCabe-Gorman. How True!!

I have pieced together, by using both manga and anime to determine what must be Naruto's 'that jutsu' that the J-man taught him.
First, let's start with something interesting.
Naruto's sealing of the kyuubi. When Naruto performed the seal to split kyuubi's chakra from his will, the kyuubi screamed, "What, that's the sage of the sixth paths!" Or something similar. Where the hell did naruto learn a Sot6p level sealing technique? Also interesting to note, with that much chakra, he much resembles the sage of the six paths already.
BUT, that was not "That Jutsu!."
Inevitably, the 8-tails will be captured and sucked into the god statue. And here's the kicker:
So will the 9 tails. Naruto will die. Jyuubi will be reborn.
Kakashi was watching gaara's elder perform the resurrection technique that brought gaara back with his sharingan. Kakashi is a copy ninja. Kakashi can and will resurrect naruto after he loves the kyuubi chakra and dies.
That said, once Naruto is resurrected he will use "that jutsu" to seal the jyuubi within him.
That jutsu is THE sealing technique that has been handed down secretly that madara refers to here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/229193/nar...war#s-p5-so-i0
at 09:28.
Madara states, "The sage of the six paths developed a certain ninjutsu in order to protect the world from the 10-tails beast. Even today that ninjutsu is still being secretly passed down."
The konoha hogake have all been privileged to learn and pass down this secret sealing ninjutsu, most likely, only to other hokage.
The only thing I can't think of, is how Jiraiya learned the technique himself. Any thoughts on how he may have come to learn it? I know he was the yellow flash's pupil, perhaps he taught it to J-man.
Hope you enjoyed the read. Bookmarked for future win. (I hope!) :-)

> Age Discrimination in
Mental Health Services
The College made
tackling age discrimination a major priority in year one of the
Fair Deal campaign. This has involved campaigining in Parliament to
ensure that the Government outlaws age discrimination in health
serices in the Equality Bill and developing policy to support the
campaign messages.
> Crisis Resolution and Home
Treatment Services for older people
This project, undertaken on behalf of
the College's Faculty of Old Age Psychiatry, set out to find out
about, and describe, a range of existing models in working age and
old age services of crisis resolution/home treatment and
intermediate care services.
To achieve this, the policy unit
carried out a literature review to find out what has been published
about different models - for example, dedicated older people's
crisis resolution/home treatment services, or crisis
resolution/home treatment services for working age adults which
have dropped their upper age limit. The unit contacted authors of
relevant papers and also followed up a number of contacts resulting
from a call to the Old Age and General & Community faculties to
identify services which might be of interest to this project.
This work resulted in a number of
services being identified. Managers and/or lead clinicians from
these services were then asked to complete a detailed questionnaire
about their service (including any data from evaluation
This information - essentially a
series of descriptions of the different services identified - is
now available and provides an easy way of comparing and contrasting
approaches. To download an Excel spreadsheet, which will allow you

> Forensic Mental Health
Services and the Economic Downturn Project
Building on an
existing work looking at
the impact of the recession on mental health services, the Policy
Unit and the College's Forensic Psychiatry Faculty worked to
identify more specifically what impact the recession and predicted
disinvestment within the NHS might have on forensic mental health
This project
involved a survey of clinical directors working within forensic
mental health services. The survey results formed the basis of
discussion at the Faculty of Forensic Psychiatry Annual General
Meeting in early 2010.

> Inpatients: Do the Right
ThingStandards for
Working Age Adults in Acute Healthcare Settings
The Royal College of
Psychiatrists' 2008 Fair Deal manifesto recorded evidence that
mental health services have lagged behind physical health services.
In-patient care in some hospitals did not meet acceptable
At the end of the 3-year
Fair Deal campaign it is now time to re-examine the issue and
reassess the evidence in the new political and economic climate,
and to identify essential areas for improvement.
Distilled from existing
working-age inpatient ward standards, a new report by the College
aims to (a) offer a useful minimum checklist of standards for
managers and commissioners of services to apply in strategic
planning and in assessing for themselves the quality of their
wards; and (b) to provide elaboration of the ten standards drawing
on the evidence of current practice as found by the reviewing
It is hoped that this report
will make the case that in-patient services need continued
investment to make patient experience healthier, safer and more
conducive to proper clinical recovery and rehabilitation.
The former President of the Royal
College of Psychiatrists stressed the importance of inpatient
conditions in a recent article in the Guarding and also included it
in his valedictory speech at the College's international congress
in Brighton in late June 2011.

In sight and in
mind: A toolkit to reduce the use of out of area mental health
Designed to support health, social care and
housing commissioners, In sight and in
mind seeks to assist in developing and commissioning
services that are as close to home as possible for people using
mental health services and their families.
The toolkit is intended to contribute to local actions to
improve quality and individual/system outcomes by:
A summary of research and knowledge in this field is
provided to give best evidence of the current picture and some of
the issues associated with use of placements out of area.
A systematic seven-step framework to reduce the need
for out of area services is also described, and embedded within the
toolkit is a range of tools that have been developed and used
successfully across the country.
Furthermore, a series of case studies are also
described where people have successfully reduced the need for
unplanned use of out of area services. These contain contact
details of key personnel who are prepared to provide further
information about their work, if required.
> Integrated Practices:
Mental Health Services in Criminal Justice
The College undertook a project to examine practices relating to
offender mental health care and how mental health services are
integrated in the criminal justice system. The aim was to explore
current and good practices that can be used to make a case for
greater integration of the two services. The findings were fed into
a NICE Offender Health seminar held in late September 2010 and may
inform any future NICE guidelines. There is a need for more
pragmatic approaches to offender health, particularly those which
have a sound evidence base, are already working effectively, and
present financial 'cost-benefit' investment.
For this project a Working Group was set up by
leads Dr. Nick Kosky, consultant psychiatrist and Dr. Rajesh
Nadkarni, consultant forensic psychiatrist and included other
experts in the field. In order to understand existing practice and
proposals for improvement, a survey was sent to relevant College
members asking about their experiences of cooperation between
mental health and criminal justice services.
There are a variety of different models of
integrated practice for diversion. This project will seek to
identify relevant models across the UK, and to draw upon these to
assist the National Health and Criminal Justice programme board in
developing proposals to improve the health of offenders.
The task of the National Health and Criminal
Justice program is to distribute the care of offenders across
health services generally and to increase understanding around the
management of people with mental health problems who are also

In April 2011, the Government began
its 'Listening Exercise' on the NHS reforms in England. This
'Listening Exercise' was organised by the Future Forum, a
"group of clinicians, patient representatives voluntary sector
representatives and others from the health field, including
frontline staff."
The College made its views known to

This project aims to reduce the use
of unnecessary 'out of area treatments' (i.e. long-term hospital
placements or residential and nursing homes) for people with
complex mental health needs.
> Prison Transfer
Interfaculty Project
Lord Bradley's
review of people with mental health problems or learning
disabilities in the criminal justice system contained a total of 72
recommendations to Government. Among these were a recommendation
that the Department of Health develop a new minimum target for the
NHS of 14 days to transfer a prisoner with acute, severe mental
illness to an appropriate healthcare setting.
In response to
Lord Bradley's Report, the Government accepted in principle the
direction in respect of 14-day prison transfers and in the House of
Commons Phil Hope, Secretary State for Health, recognised the
importance of ensuring that prisoners with severe mental illness
who require treatment in hospital have timely access to that
> Self-Harm, Suicide and
Chaired by Lord Alderdice and overseen
by the Policy Unit, the Risk to Self Working Group has
produced a College Report 'Self-harm,
Suicide and Risk: helping people who self-harm' which was
launched in June 2010.
The report had the
aims of improving awareness about the non-psychiatric causes of
self-harm, of changing service staff attitudes, and influencing
commissioners and the NHS in service provision. The report also
investigates training needs and barriers to the effective
implementation of existing policy.
The report was
developed by a Working Group and informed by a survey of
psychiatrists' experience of self harm care, as well as evidence
sessions held with experts in the field.
Suicide and Risk: Implementation Group
In order to ensure the
recommendation from the College's 'Self-harm,
Suicide and Risk: helping people who self-harm' report will be
put into practice, we have set up an Implementation Group. This
group includes experts in the field (most of who were on the
report's working group) including psychiatrists and other mental
health professionals, third sector organisations, academics in the
field, service users, carers as well as members from the College.
The group meets roughly 3 to 4 times a year and aims at developing
strategies of how the recommendations can be achieved.

(National Director, Delivering Race Equality in Mental Health
Programme/Health Development Unit, England).
The panel reviewed existing standards
employed in the College Centre for Quality Improvement's
accreditation and quality improvement networks which related to the
care of Black and minority ethnic in-patients.
In November 2009, the subsequent
report - Improving in-patient mental health services for
Black and minority ethnic patients - made recommendations
for changes to these existing standards in 11 separate areas.

US Weekly just broke that Minka Kelly and Chris Evans broke up. For the second time…? They dated in 2007. They re-dated last year. And now "it just didn't make sense for them to be together right now". Apparently it's distance. She's in Vancouver shooting a tv show and he's going to be spending more time in New York. It wasn't ugly though and the two "still care about each other". That doesn't sound permanent to me. That sounds like the opposite of high school. Like, we can't be together during the school year but we'll totally hook up all summer…?

Skip to comments.OBAMA HAS NO LAW LICENSE, NOR DOES MICHELLE.
Posted on 07/06/2012 8:52:22 AM PDT by MrChips
I saw a note slide across the #TCOT feed on Twitter last night that mentioned Michelle Obama had no law license. This struck me as odd, since (a) she went to school to be a lawyer, and (b) she just recently held a position with the University of Chicago Hospitals as legal counsel and thats a pretty hard job to qualify for without a law license. But being a licensed professional myself, i knew that every state not only requires licensure, they make it possible to check online the status of any licensed professional. So I did . . . MORE
(Excerpt) Read more at jdlong.wordpress.com ...
This charge is bogus. Plenty of real things to criticize him for. No need to make stuff up.
"Barry still could not get a real job, because he was still a fraud, even with his Harvard degree in hand he could lie and take the Bar exam, but he could not work as a lawyer for a major law firm without a back ground investigation and he would never pass one. So, Michelle got Barry a job at her law firm. Barry never filed a case alone and never filed a motion. He wrote lots of memos according to the law firm where Barry worked. (I think they know Barry is a fraud and don't want to be sued by previous clients) Barry rescinded his law licenses, so as not to be disbarred for fraud. The Bar knows Barry lied on his application. Michelle also had to turn over her law license for her involvement in corruption with the Chicago mayors office. "
They both obtained licenses to practice law, but were terminated without any explanation as to why or by whom. Would be very interesting given the fact that both of them were involved in some shady circumstances where hundreds of thousands of dollars changed hands with very little supporting evidence...
This charge is bogus."
Exactly how so?
So, we have the first black President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law.
And, both seem to lacking moral scruples as well. Nice job on your 2008 election selection, other half of America!
Remember that a former senior official at the FBI said that given Barry's background, he could not be accepted for employment at the FBI!!!!!
There are already a large number of law school graduates who haven't been able to find work as attorneys and have taken other jobs. If the Obama's had kept their law licenses, they would increase those numbers.
Michelle "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993? That's only five years after graduating from Harvard Law!
bump, to check later
Want to be Valerie Jarret knows where all the obama Chicago skeletons are buried and that is why Mocchelle tolerates her being the real strong black woman who runs the WH and Barrys life
Where I live, you have to renew your license every year and you must remain an active membership in the Bar. To keep the license, you must also complete so many hours of continuing legal education.
Since neither of the Obamas need a license to plunder and pillage this country, it makes sense for them to allow their licenses to lapse.
I read that her hospital job was a made up one to help the poor get proper healthcare...ha ha...but I digress.
Legal Counsel to the hospital?
She was???
For what it's worth.... I have no idea if this is valid.
President Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991 and was admitted as a lawyer by the Supreme Court of Illinois on Dec. 17, 1991. Prior to being elected to the Illinois state Senate in 1996, he worked as a civil rights lawyer at the firm formerly known as Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Four days after Obama announced that he would run for president in February 2007, he voluntarily elected to have his law license placed on inactive status, according to Grogan. Then, after becoming president, he elected to change his status to retired in February 2009.
Michelle Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1988, and was admitted as a lawyer by the Supreme Court of Illinois on May 12, 1989. Following graduation, she joined Sidley Austin, a corporate law firm in Chicago. But a few years later, in 1994, while working for the Public Allies project in Chicago, Obama voluntarily had her license placed on inactive status.
But the claim that the Obamas surrendered their licenses to avoid ethics charges has no basis in fact. Neither of the Obamas has any public record of discipline or pending proceedings against them, according to the online public registration records of the ARDC. We also confirmed that with Grogan, who said that the Obamas were never the subject of any public disciplinary proceedings.
The Obamas havent said exactly what prompted them to change the status of their licenses. But Grogan said that it was fairly common for lawyers who didnt intend to continue practicing law to go on inactive status. It was actually one of the reasons, he said, that the rule was changed so that lawyers wanting to switch to inactive status no longer had to petition the Illinois Supreme Court to do so. In 2011, more than 12 percent of the states 87,943 registered attorneys were on inactive status (see Chart 2), according to the ARDCs annual report for that year.
In addition, prior to June 5, 2012, the Obamas would have been required to pay an annual fee of $289 (now $342), and take classes to satisfy the states Minimum Continuing Legal Education requirement, in order to keep their licenses active. Lawyers on retirement status, however, dont have to pay an annual fee or take classes. And lawyers on inactive status also dont have to take classes, but they do have to pay an annual fee of $105.
Perhaps one reason for these false claims is that the online registration record used to list Michelle Obama as being on court ordered inactive status. But that wasnt because of any wrongdoing. As previously mentioned, before 1999, an Illinois Supreme Court rule required active lawyers who wanted to change their registration status to do so by petitioning the court.
end snip
Many times, this is done with licenses that, for instance, require continuing education every year to maintain the license.
This is an option many choose when they move out of state and/or take a break from practicing law but still want to maintain their license for future uses. In other words, when the license holder does not want to or practically can not maintain the continuing education requirements.
There is nothing for factcheck to go by other than Obama's book. Everything (if it even existed) has been sealed.
"O" is in politics because he CANNOT be gainfully employed anywhere ELSE!
I am certain I faced a tougher vetting process to get MY dinky job than "O" ever faced in his life for his many cushy and princely paid positions!
Just googled her hospital job.
It was created for her and was called,
VP for Community and External Affairs.
It was eliminated after she left it.
Not a job as Legal Counsel, no way.
I'm not knocking all of your points or facts.
But there's no reason for the Obamas to maintain active law licenses as they haven't even claimed to practice law for many years.
Wasn't there something about him not listing his aliases on the application?
Neither of these two free-riders ever put their law licenses to good use. Imagine Barry or Michelle not lying under oath. It's not easy, even if you try. So, it matters little if they really let their licenses lapse, or lost them. Either way, they are bums. ...Their friend Holder needs to lose his law licenses as soon as possible.
< snip... "With time on his hands Barry, a well spoken black man, was able to get elected to a state office, oddly because he looked for fraud in his opponents voter registrations and got his opponent disqualified from running. Barry a well versed liar was a natural in state politics. He used his political influence to get himself a position as a lecturer at Chicago's law school. Barry embellished this position as a "professor of law" which everyone knows is completely false. Barry was not a professor or even a specialist at anything but lying. < /snip
Why has the 'court ordered' since been removed, hmmm?
You lost me there.
I was commenting on Michelle supposedly being legal counsel for the Hospital. She was not. No law license was required for her job there.
Do you mean Barack's application to law school? Not listing aliases?
Look, the way was greased for Obama every step he took in life. He is now President of the United States who has gotten away with a massive number of phony and hidden actions. Even those that are known or suspected cannot be used to prosecute him or take away his Presidency.
Those are facts, hate 'em or not.
BambamKennedy is the law, no need for a license when one has become 'god'. Think Christ was not talking to this generation when He spoke of those who sit in Moses seat? The whole chapter of Matthew 23. Christ's words "to the multitude and to His Disciple, (2)Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: The rest of the chapter reads like it describes all pillars of a supposed functioning society. Political, economic, educational, and last but certainly not least 'religious'. BambamKennedy picks and uses GOD (it is Written the WORD is God) when it suits his political purposes... He sure has the ability to rule from that 'bully' pulpit...
Maybe because people were wrongly assuming "court ordered" was a bad thing, and not a case of a court acting on a license holder's petition to voluntarily place their license on inactive status?
Really, there's plenty to go after BHO for without resorting to grand conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality.
Hell he couldn't even join our 4-H or little league. He's a fraud through and through.
nice capture
records scrubbing must be an exhausting job for the true believer and obama protector legion
and who was also "working" for the hospital as a CEO?
Valerie Jarrett
Why would somebody bust their butt to get a law license (1989) then voluntarily surrender it a mere 4 years later (1993)?
funny how many tards defend the 0bama's at every turn using similar statements.
of course, those attempting to deflect are really just lib agents here on FR
Oh I understand how the scheme worked.
But who ever thought COMMUNISTS aren't crooks, too?
Not me.
Van Jones
See my post #14.
By the way, many, many, many people go to law school, graduate, pass the bar but ultimately end up not practicing law or doing it for a very short time.
Or they move to another state with no plans to return (law licenses are issued state-by-state).
They voluntarily retired their licenses. This is not unusual at all. Lawyers who change careers do it all the time.
Michelle was not hired as legal counsel for the hospital. She was hired to move poor sick people who couldn't pay their bills out of the hospital and foist them on some other hospital. Then when her husband was elected to the Senate her job was to lobby him to give tax dollars to the hospital. She did both jobs well but neither needed a law license to do them.
Barry never practiced law. Probably because he was incompetent.
I understand the law schools are graduating vastly more people than there are jobs waiting.
They might have had ethical issues, sure, but why would they "bust their butts", only to surrender licenses?
Don't know for sure about her, but he obviously did not bust his butt for anything in his entire life. It was paved like a golden street for his every step and he knew it. He as a self admitted lay about and druggie. And there's a reason we don't see his grades.
Doubt if she had to try hard, either. She came from a family with connections in Chicago, just like Jarrett did, and they all had each others' backs.
Surrendering the license to practice is no biggie either. You can get all kinds of jobs and you can always list on your resume that you are a law school grad and that is considered important.
And if someone has already paved your way, who cares anyhow?
Are you aware Barry used to tell people since he was a child and on beyond, that one day he was going to be President of the United States?
Not that he wanted to be, that he WOULD be?
So why would he sweat anything along the way...
The key word is voluntary. She asked the court to inactivate her license and they so ordered it. There is nothing suspicious there at all.
That's been the case for years & years. More so in recent times.
The WSJ had an article in the last week or two saying (if I remember right) about 50% of law school grads can't find legal jobs.
Many law schools, in turn, pad their own stats regarding graduates getting jobs by setting grads up with temporary positions, paid for by the law school. Presto! - Their graduates are getting jobs!
I notice a lot of turds make crap up to distract us from the important issues. I notice this a lot.
"This charge is bogus."
It is only bogus in your own mind.
Much has been written about this in the past.
watch this . . . about 30 minutes long
Debt collector traces the Obama's
Indeed. This was something initially floated by Hillary's people in 2008. It went nowhere as it was based on selective truths and bad assumptions.
Life isn't a Tom Clancy novel, with sinister Machiavellian types hiding their past and biding their time to strike. There's plenty of bad politics and legislation that Obama is putting out RIGHT NOW that trumps this dumb and inaccurate cloak & dagger stuff.
She wasn't legal counsel for the hospital.
Check and see who or what organization is behind factcheck.org....it will be interesting what you will find out.....
Actually, her "job" was to get the indigent etc to other hospitals so "her" hospital didn't have to bother with them. Real sensitive and caring, dontchaknow?
I really doubt if an affirmative-action, equal-opportunity lpser who wrote an eighgth-grade-level thesis really "bust her butt" at any point of her "education".
During a debate Dick Chaney accidentally gave out the wrong domain which was the George Soro's factcheck website.
I will bet that the factcheck.org is the George Soro's one. I could be wrong.
Thank you so very much for your post to me.
hmmm lets see...
what percentage of lawyers voluntarily give up their law license, because "eh, I just didnt need it anymore".. ?
and what percentage of lawyers give up their law license 5 seconds before it is going to be taken from them...?
There's nothing anybody has that can prove the charges to be bogus anymore than there's anything out there that can prove Obama's book to be "reality".
Everything's been sealed.

Rumore: Extra Time in Classroom Not the Answer
Please enter your comments below.
Rumore has no credibility
Whether or not a longer school day will improve the quality of the education experience is yet to be determined. What is known is that Buffalo Teachers Federation leader Phil Rumore is nothing more than a union hack whose soul function and purpose is tolook out for the teachers at the expense of the students. Teachers unions are a detriment to improved education!
Rumore certainly does not have a clue
Phil Rumore states "not more of the same" admitting the issue is the people he represents. Although I do agree we need quality and not quantity, there has to be something done as what we do now is not working across the board. Teachers aren't allow to teach, they only are teaching to the state tests that are given. The whole system is a joke and the results are painfully evident in today's young people!
Union Bashing
Everytime Phil opens his mouth people fine it convenient to bash him. What really needs to get looked at is the lack of a diverse education that needs to be offered to our children. Not every child is wired to go to college. We need trades people in the worst way. But all that is done is we teach to the test and we offer the next thing to nothing in hands on education. The child that can't sit still for english and math might just be most suited to repair cars or build a house. A trades person that knows his stuff will not go hungry, there is always something that needs doing somewhere.

I often get a glimpse of unfamiliar books in the collection when they circulate from the stacks to the reading room and back. One such book was Rondes des quatres saisons(1884), which celebrates the passing of the seasons in four pieces, with lyrics by the poet Leon Valade (1844-1884), music by Leopold Dauphin (1847-?), and illustrations by several artists, including Maurice Boutet de Monvel (1851-1913), best known for his patriotic picture book biography of Joan of Arc.
Rondes crossed my desk on Monday, when winter was doing its best to reassert itself as it does when the weather finally starts to warm up. While leafing through the volume, I found this chilling, but charming illustration of children stamping their feet to keep warm in a snow shower.
Rondes des quatres saisons came to the Cotsen Children's Library with the acquisition of the Diana Rexford Tillson Collection in the mid-1990s. Its vast holdings of picture books, scores, sheet music, sound recordings, and toys documenting the history of music education and appreciation were thoughtfully selected by Miss Tillson, who was for years a Suzuki method violin teacher. Small discoveries like this Boutet de Monvel illustration are reminders of how rich Miss Tillson's collection is. Thanks to her vision, it will continue to support in the years to come both the musicologist looking for a rare edition of Sir Thomas Morley and the performer looking for a piece of sheet music to rearrange for barber shop quartet.

Howard Payne Basketball and the Brownwood Coliseum , 50 Years of Excitement
BROWNWOOD, Texas - Howard Payne University will have special presentation recognizing 50 years of Yellow Jacket basketball in the historic Brownwood Coliseum on Saturday, November 23rd at the Howard Payne women's and men's basketball home openers versus the University of Texas at Dallas.
In the fall of 1963, the first Howard Payne basketball game was played in the Brownwood Coliseum shortly after the facility's dedication. The Brownwood Coliseum was a result of visionary leaders of the Brownwood community and has served Brown County and Howard Payne University very well in its half century of use.
Howard Payne University has been very blessed to have a strong relationship with the City of Brownwood as the two move forward into the next 50 years.
Many amazing athletic events have been held in the Coliseum. Howard Payne has been fortunate to have the Coliseum play host to Yellow Jacket basketball and volleyball games as well as banquets, concerts and graduations.
Yellow Jacket basketball teams have won 21 conference titles from the Lone Star, Texas Collegiate Athletic Association and American Southwest Conferences while using the Brownwood Coliseum.
The Brownwood community and Howard Payne University also broke a national record for the largest crowd to ever see a NCAA Division III women's basketball game set during the 2007 NCAA Division III playoffs.
Another 50 year milestone was reached this season. Longtime voice of the Jackets, Dallas Huston, started broadcasting Yellow Jacket basketball games in HPU's first season in the Brownwood Coliseum. Since then Dallas has been a part of all the games and conference championships that have been claimed in the historic facility. Dallas Huston is a member of the Gordon Wood Hall of Champions, the Big Country Sports Hall of Fame and Howard Payne University Sports Hall of Fame.
A ceremony will be held between games recognizing these milestones at Howard Payne University's home opener on Saturday, November 23rd versus the University of Texas at Dallas.
The women's game will begin at 1:00 pm and the men's game will follow 20 minutes after the presentation following the completion of the women's game.

Making Dreams Come True - With Elephants
Why do my team and I work with so much passion for and with elephants?
On the one hand, we want to give you, our guests, the opportunity to fulfill your long awaited desire to get as close as possible to this womderful animal and to enjoy the unique experience as intensively as possible.
On the other hand, we try to guide an animal that has been working with people for more than 6,000 years and is probably the most revered animal in human history, into the 21st century.
Our approach is based in the determination to create a symbiosis between traditional ideas, which can be centuries old, and the growing demands of modern times. In our opinion, the protection of elephants can only work through the protection of the people who work with them. Their work can earn them a steady income and thus ensure the pachyderms a sustainable future.
Our focus is to create good living conditions for the animals. Only living conditions that are based on the natural environmental conditions of the elephants can create satisfaction - for both humans and animals. Together we live and work for that dream.

Straightforward legal planning will help a dairy continue being a dairy.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
Everyone dies eventually. But when a milk producer passes away it can also mean the end of the dairy, its jobs and family traditions unless some fairly straightforward legal planning has been done to prevent estate taxes from being fatal.
Elizabeth Rumley (pictured), a staff attorney who specializes in animal agriculture at The National Agricultural Law Center at the University of Arkansas, says, "Transferring a business as a business is actually pretty easy."
Doing so requires a will, trust or estate plan. Without at least one of them the farm and all other assets will go to probate and the state will decide who gets what. The business won't be transferred as a business and a federal estate tax bill will have to be paid. In addition, 23 states also levy their own estate taxes. In many cases the combined costs are so large that the farm must be sold to pay them.
Among the most difficult parts of setting up a trust or estate is initiating discussion with those who will be taking over the business, starting with do they want it. With this also comes the difficult issue of what is equal and fair distribution. One child might be an obvious choice to take over the farm, but what about his or her siblings? Is the farm financially big enough to support new and/or additional families? Will putting one child in charge create animosity among the others?
Candid, open discussion with bankers and other financial advisers is also vital in order to get an accurate picture of the options available. Estate tax exemption laws have changed often in recent years and may change again in 2013. Even for those who already have trusts or estate plans, reviewing and possibly updating them is wise each time the laws change.
Rumley recommends three noncommercial websites for dairy producers to get started in planning a trust or estate:
The National Agricultural Law Center at http://new.nationalaglawcenter.org/
The International Farm Transition Network at www.farmtransition.org/
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Department at www.extension.iastate.edu/valueaddedag/page/resources-iowa-farm-transition-and-beginning-farmers

Boom & Bust
Patriotic Duty
At Ease
Theme: Patriotic Duty
Artist: Nora HEYSEN
Birth/Death: 1911
Title: Transport driver (Aircraftswoman Florence Miles)
Credit Line: Australian War Memorial, Canberra
During the Second World War Nora Heysen was the first of three women to be appointed to the highly coveted position of official war artist. She was expected to concentrate principally on the Women's service, a constraint she characteristically rebelled against. Her portraits of women, however, were uncompromising in their authority.
In this portrait Heysen combines the heroic with the everyday stoicism of women who just get on with the job. Getting on with the job in 1945 meant that women assumed the roles and responsibilities, which before the Second World War had been the preserve of men.
Florence Miles inspires confidence; she is feminine and strong. Her committed gaze through the windscreen together with the RAAF flag, visible through her window, play like a confident anthem on the road to the allies' victory.

Crazy for the Storm
Crazy for the Storm
A Memoir of Survival
Ecco Press, Paperback, 9780061766787, 272pp.
Publication Date: May 1, 2010
A riveting and moving memoir, written in crisp Hemingwayesque prose and set amid the wild, uninhibited surf culture of Malibu and Mexico in the late 1970s
From the age of three, Norman Ollestad was thrust into the world of surfing and competitive downhill skiing by the intense, charismatic father he both idolized and resented. Yet it was these exhilarating tests of skill that ultimately saved his life when the chartered Cessna carrying them to a ski championship ceremony crashed 8,000 feet up in the California mountains, leaving his father and the pilot dead. The devastated eleven-year-old Ollestad had to descend the treacherous, icy mountain alone.
Crazy for the Storm is a powerful and unforgettable true story that illuminates the complicated bond between an extraordinary father and his extraordinary son.
"An elegant memoir as well as a transformative coming-of-age tale. When he leaves his father's limp body behind on the icy plateau—giving it a final kiss and caress as it's claimed by the snow—Ollestad takes his first perilous steps not just into survival, but into adulthood."
-New York Post
"Cinematic and personal . . . Ollestad's insights into growing up in a broken home and adolescence in southern California are as engrossing as the story of his trip down the mountain."
-Chicago Tribune
-Entertainment Weekly
"Breathtaking...A portrait of a father's consuming love for his son, Crazy for the Storm will keep you up late into the night."
-Washington Post Book World
"Tragic and exotic ...[with] short, punchy chapters and...nonstop emphasis on adrenaline-fueled excitement."
-Janet Maslin, New York Times
"The memoir is as much about a father-son relationship as it is a survival story...Ollestad says his father's life philosophy about surfing and skiing - 'knowing there's always a place to go and find peace, clear your mind' - got him down the mountain and through life."
-USA Today
"A page-turning adventure tale . . . and a meditation on manhood."
-Los Angeles Magazine
"At times beautiful, at times heart-wrenching, Crazy for the Storm is a commanding read--a tale that proves the power of the human spirit can rise against any challenge, and a father's legacy can be more than he imagines.
"Crazy for the Storm is an absolutely compelling book which I read in one long sitting. The fact that it's true made me shudder, but then Norman Ollestad is a fine writer and every detail is convincing."
-Jim Harrison
"Extraordinary—an adventure story with a rich psychological foundation from an enormously talented author. Crazy for the Storm is a powerful book. It deserves to be a bestseller."
-Pulitzer Prize–winner Lucinda Franks, author of My Father's Secret War
"As much a thriller as a memoir . . . gorgeously written, perfectly controlled."
-Carolyn See
"A heart-stopping adventure that ends in tragedy and in triumph, a love story that fearlessly explores the bond between a father and son and what it means to lead a life without limits."
-Susan Cheever
"A book that may well be read for generations. It's a book that fathers should give to their sons, but sons should give it to their fathers, too . . . mothers, wives, sisters and daughters: read it and weep for all the boys and men you have ever loved."
-Russell Banks
"Engrossing...Ollestad hits several notes that should make his memoir irresistible to those looking for page-turning but thought-provoking summer reading along the lines of Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air (1997)…Deep and resonant."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Never a dull moment....[Ollestad has] written a beautiful story about a thrill-loving father — 'the man with the sunshine in his eyes'— who taught his boy not just how to live, but how to thrive."
-Houston Chronicle

72 hours of hell!
Great chapter. Why it had to be an Aburame clan member to die first.:(

Heh, I never even thought about Sais brother being introduced into the story.
Sasori without his actual puppets vs Kankuro Hmmm
Great Chapter!!!!!!!!! Kishi took this manga from "a little boy in ninja class" to "the middle of Narutoverse World War4", with such a seamless transition. Kudos Kishis Kudos..
Although an Abrumae was the first to die, I think they have a great advantage against the ET zombies, as well as the Hyugaa. Both clans can easily immobalize thier opponents and/or destroy the bodies. Bug swarm and not-so-gentle palm.
I'm hoping Oomi shows something worth this chapter being named in his honor.
The upcoming main event: Sasori vs Kankuro II. In a one on one, Im going with Kankuro because the brother of Gara cant loose to the same guy twice.
Poor Anko, I always thought she was sexy with her fishnet outfit. Oh well.
Lastly, Kabuto must not die by anyones hand, other then Saskue. If you think about it Kishi kind of hinted to this when he wrote, "a genjutsu would be one of the only effective ways to stopping the zombies.
Beware of the Kyubii
Stev3child - The biggest pussy of them all is rokudaime sennin though. If he was a real man, he wouldn't have relied on hax god-given powers to seal the Jyubi. He would have suplexed that bitch and ripped each tail from the beast one by one with his bare hands.
I thought this chapter was great for what it was. Even though it seemed like a lot of it was taken up with trivial dialog, I think it still did a lot right. For starters, we are finally getting some really good team action happening. Since the beginning of the series we have been told about how ninja's working in complimentary teams is important but the vast majority of the battles we have seen have come down to basically duals or very limited team work where one or two characters basically do most of the work. In this chapter we have already seen multiple characters play a role. This chapter also showcased just how effective Sasori and Deidara are at taking on a large force. Their abilities are used so simply and so casually which shows why they were feared, Sasori in particular comes off as a total badass even without using his more dramatic abilities. It is good to see a different side of him as a fighter. Overall this was a good start to what could be a great first battle. Hopefully in this war we get to see a whole lot more of what each Akatsuki member can do. Sasori doesn't seem to have his puppets and I am glad because now we should get to see him fight in a different way and show another aspect of his skillset. Sasori's battle with Sakura and Chiyou mainly focused on his use of the 4th Kazekage and his puppet army, but he is obviously powerful even without them because he had to beat the 4th Kazekage to begin with.
While I was kind of hoping to see more of a fight between Anko and Kabuto, I can see why it wasn't shown. Realistically Anko wouldn't have a chance in hell against Kabuto so I can appreciate the single pannel that showed her beaten this chapter. Sometimes not showing the details of an obviously one sided fight just helps to keep the plot moving in a reasonable way and that one pannel did a nice job of giving us the message while not detracting from the current events. I am now wondering what Kabuto will do to her and how he plans to make his next move.
If Sasori doesn't have his puppets, then I think it is safe to say that Kakuzo doesn't have his other hearts. He still need to collect other hearts as he goes along. And Nagato would surely fight without dummies.
What a great way to start the war.
I love the continuous action that is happening.
Just like what Omoi said, no time to think, and just simply be ready to use their moves and techniques!
Anko beaten again by a snake. Why does it have to be always related to snakes.
Using their comrades to fight against comrades is just awesome. No casualty for Akatsuki, but it doubles the damage on the alliance. Damn.
I hope more Uzumaki peeps gets revealed and help the alliance in sealing some of those zombies.
Oh my geeeed, I'm excited for the coming chapters! Let's get ready to rumbleeeeeeeeeeeee!
it was a pretty short chapter..nothing that interested me much besides the introduction of Sai's older brother and learning that Anko is probs. shot haha
Do you know what that is?
Damn...there goes the first casualty :/ An Aburame
And wow, Sai got mind fucked

Can managers influence the liquidity of their firms' shares? We use plausibly exogenous variation in the supply of public information to show that firms actively shape their information environments by voluntarily disclosing more information than regulations mandate and that such efforts improve liquidity. Firms respond to an exogenous loss of public information by providing more timely and informative earnings guidance. Responses appear motivated by a desire to reduce information asymmetries between retail and institutional investors. Liquidity improves as a result and in turn increases firm value. This suggests that managers can causally influence their cost of capital via voluntary disclosure.

The pace of global business is accelerating and will continue to grow as multinational corporations seek growth beyond their home markets - but establishing a more global footprint can be a daunting challenge. Businesses should align to new customer needs, reduce overall cost structures, build an aligned, lean, and tax-effective structure, and strengthen local talent. Any business that aspires to expand globally should address all these issues or face operational complexity and missed growth opportunities.
Companies should connect their business strategy and customer value propositions with new operational models, legal structures, talent, risk management, and tax strategies. By developing a new operational plan, companies can achieve competitive advantage and financial success wherever they take their business around the world.

Kesler 2K11
Kristian Urstad
August 18 2010 02:22PM
Ryan Kesler is the cover athlete for the new NHL 2K11 game. This strikes me as interesting.
At first, I didn't really get it. Video games are by their very nature all about creating a flashiness and hyperbole that isn't quite captured by the reality they are meant to represent. There are loads of things about real hockey that are glossed over, and turned glossy, when it comes to their video game depiction. It is fitting, after all, that the last four cover athletes on NHL 2K are Thornton, Spezza, Nash and Ovechkin – appropriate symbols, it seems to me, for just that kind of gloss.
So why Kesler then? This is not the sort of flashy, one-dimensional kind of player easily suited to, and represented by, the video game format. Nor is it someone who has the stature and selling power of the four other cover stars. So what's going on?
It speaks, I think, to an increasing hockey awareness. Today's hockey audience is more educated and discriminating than it used to be. We recognize far more than we ever have all the intangibles, versatilities and quieter skills that go together to make up a good player. So much has this become a part of our awareness that we don't bat an eyelash at seeing Kesler on the cover of one the two largest hockey video games on the market.
This is all the more reflected in the video games themselves. Subtle but important features that relate to the sport itself are being added all the time. All the things in Kesler's game that he takes pride in – and which we appreciate and applaud him for – are now more and more represented in the video game, a game whose cover the Canuck now rightfully graces.
August 18 2010, 03:45PM
Not only are we becoming more aware of the value of the intangibles that players like Ryan Kesler possess, we are are more tellingly aware of the limitations of an offensive "dynamo" like Jason Spezza.
August 18 2010, 04:10PM
There's something very unsettling about those decorative...whatevers those women are wearing. Does 2K Sports run Vegas shows too?
1. With the promo and press that Kesler is getting, and how well he is handling it, how can they NOT make him captain?
2. You think they would have fixed his suit for this photo. Tidy yerself, boy!
August 23 2010, 05:51AM
Ryan Kesler is an American professional ice hockey center and alternate captain for the Vancouver Canucks.He is best known a two-way forward, having been named as a finalist for the Selke Trophy in 2009 and 2010
Come on boys... let's get realistic here.
2 way player? Kesler had 1 goal in last year's playoffs, while being shredded by Toews et al.
Check our Kesler's career playoff stats: 3 goals in 23 games.
Back away from the kool-aid!
Peter in Toronto, yes that Peter.

Calvin J. Murphy Player
Inducted in 2006
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee 1993
One of the most dynamic small guards of the modern era, this two time All-American could drive full-tilt, put on the brakes, and fire up a jump shot, hitting nothing-but-net. Murphy averaged 33.1 points per game for New York's Niagara University and once lit up Syracuse University for 68 points. An excellent foul shooter and great in-your-face defender, despite his 5'9" frame, he became an NBA All-Star. Murphy played a total of 13 seasons with San Diego and Houston, scoring over 1,000 points in 11 straight seasons.

I'm not sure what the Earl is, he's not a Noah though. there were 14 total and he's not one of them. I read and remember something about the Noah teaming up with the Earl, and that he summoned them apparently. and even though he refers to them as his family and Road treats him as such he is NOT part of the Noah clan. he's the harbinger of the Apocalypse in a sense. What i wonder about though is if he was once human, and became how is now through some kind of transformation or experience? the way Tyki talked about him in that chapter, how he turned the world against him, meaning he wasn't always that way and something happened to make him want to "cleanse" the world like he says he does.
i hope we see all the Noahs soon, but what i never knew was that Jasdero and Devit count as one Noah because they become Jasdevi, i thought they still counted as two separate noah, well anyway i want to see more of Sheryl and company he's so awesome XD The Noahs are my favorite anime villians hands down. its so hard to hate them. I hate Leverrier the most D:< he worse than the Earl and the Noah! at least they wouldn't betray their own comrades. he's finally making his appearance in the anime too , oh joy, i get to hate him twice as much. =__=

Kroger is in the process of remodeling its Crosstown (West Main) store in Tupelo.
We swung by last week and noticed:
• The area devoted to kitchen supplies has shrunk. A lot of the merch is now in a clearance section in the seasonal aisle.
• The natural, organic and nutritional area has gotten bigger.
• The pet food department has been reworked.
• A lot of the aisles have been shifted. The store hasn't been reorganized, but the spacing of each aisle feels wider.
• We hear the produce area is going to be upgraded this month.
