Sierra Golf notes: Alexander clinic set for Sunday

Longtime area golf pro Lou Eiguren and his wife, Paula, were injured in an automobile accident early Friday morning.
The lingering recession continues to affect greens fees at area golf courses, with many courses sticking with their 2012 rates for this season. But there are a few who have adjusted their rates both directions.
The new executive director of the Reno-Tahoe Open is familiar with Montreux Golf & Country Club. Veteran PGA Tour players know him. And so, too, do players who cut their teeth on the Web.com Tour.
The Nevada men's golf team begins Mountain West championship play today without nearly half the golfers originally on the roster. Players have either quit or been kicked off the team, and those who are no longer on the team largely blame the coach.
Golfers who belong to clubs know the value of their regional golf associations.
The Reno-Tahoe Open does not have an executive director. And with the PGA Tour calendar in full swing and the 15th annual tournament at Montreux Golf & Country Club a little more than 100 days out, that would normally be a bad thing. But the RTO is far from rudderless.

At last, we reach the end of the long, winding, annoying, aggravating road that was the 2012 election cycle.
First, I will opine but briefly on the presidential race and say: whew! Dodged a bullet on that one. Plus: it succeeded in cheesing off Donald Trump in a huge way, and anytime The Donald is unhappy is cause to smile.
Now, onto the major local races, two of which had the potential for upset victories: the race for State Senate of the Plymouth and Barnstable District, the Barnstable County Board of County Commissioners. In both cases, the incumbents were returned to office by healthy margins.
Senate President Therese M. Murray (D – Plymouth) came within five percentage points of losing to Republican challenger Thomas F. Keyes in 2010, and this time around, despite some solid campaigning by her opponent, Sen. Murray won with 58 percent of the vote to Mr. Keyes' 41 percent.
Not surprisingly, Mr. Keyes remarked after his concession speech that the reason he lost is because he was out-spent by Sen. Murray. Funny how the winning candidate always thanks his or her supporters, but the loser always blames outside forces for his/her loss, isn't it? But I digress…
What really cost Mr. Keyes the race is the fact that all he offered was a lot of unremarkable ideas and negativity toward the incumbent. Any given e-mail from the Keyes campaign could be summed up thusly: "Therese Murray did something. Wow, is she corrupt and uncaring! I won't be, though, so vote for me," and you need more than knee-jerk gainsaying to win a race.
Then we have the three-way race for two seats on the Barnstable County Board of County Commissioners between incumbents Mary L. (Pat) Flynn of Falmouth and Sheila R. Lyons of Wellfleet, and Eric L. Steinhilber of Barnstable.
The two incumbents deserved to win. They displayed a clearly superior grasp of a wide range of countywide issues, whereas Mr. Steinhilber ran a one-note race, and that note was very, very flat: he anchored his campaign in opposing a "Cape Cod wastewater authority," a taxpayer-funded regional agency charged with administering a Cape-wide wastewater management plan, which was proposed earlier this year by the Special Commission on County Governance.
That would have been a fine tactic if it weren't for the fact Mr. Steinhilber himself declared the wastewater authority proposal a dead issue back in August, weeks after Ms. Flynn and Ms. Lyons voiced their formal opposition to the idea. He later resurrected it as his primary campaign talking point, despite the fact no one was disagreeing with him (although he tried awfully hard to make it sound like they were).
I maintain that Mr. Steinhilber has potential as a candidate, and maybe next time around he'll be more diligent about doing his homework on the issues and will offer a more well-rounded campaign platform (and will be better able to defend his positions when challenged on them).
Thanks for reading, folks, and I'll see you again in 2014! In the meantime, you can keep up with my ramblings here on my blog.

Thread: Football and Faith
Football and Faith
Ravens Faith
This may be slightly OT. A little out of place in the middle of Steelers week, but here goes.
I've always had trouble with this. You hear it all the time... "The Three F's. Faith, Family, Football."
I have never been a religious person. I had been dragged to church as a kid and saw it as a task. I had never really believed in anything that was said there, not out of conscious choice but just because none of it made logical sense.
So when it came time to get in a huddle and pray before High School games, I became uncomfortable. As an employee of a College Football team I have had to sit through mandatory Chapel services prior to pre-game meals.
I can understand the sentiment. At least partly. There is definitely some value to relating stories from the Bible to experiences for a team and within a game. That's great. However, you can find motivational stories that are relatable from various other resources as well.
I don't believe that praying to a higher power before the game gives any team an advantage. In the case that there is a God I would hope that his focus would be on something of more importance than a game.
"To see it pay off like that, with that kind of success, is more of a validation of faith and trust in one another and in God. I dont like to say it too much because I know some people dont like to hear that, but its a big part of who we are as a team." - Harbaugh
I just don't agree with announcing this to the world. When you say this, you are speaking for the team. I guarantee you every Raven has some sort of faith in each of their teammates but I also guarantee you that not every Raven has faith in God.
It doesn't bother me at all that there are religious coaches and players in football. There are religious people everywhere! I don't care what anyone believes if it makes them happy. But it bothers me that religion, specifically Christianity, is looked at as a necessary part of the game.
As an aspiring Coach, it's sad that I feel like I would have to lie or admit truth to a Coach that was interviewing me if this subject came up. As a Coach, I don't want people in my program to feel the way I had.
I would hope that any discussion of this topic could be made respectfully. If this has to be moved to politics or whatever that is fine with me. This is something that I've been thinking about for a long time and when I heard this in the press conference I just felt like I needed to vent.
Go Ravens
Re: Football and Faith
This is more a religious debate than a football one, thus it's getting moved due to the personal nature of religious discussions.

Re: Football and Faith
I agree with you 100%. In college our coach would gather the team for a prayer before wrestling tournaments. He always asked a team leader to lead the prayer. I was brought up the same as you. Every time coach looked my way, I looked away avoiding eye contact. Thanks "GOD" i avoided ever having to do that... but he knew. While professional sports is a bit different (religious references are still a turn off for me)... but I think a coach has to do whatever necessary to bring a lot of life styles and cultures together and make it work, and maybe religion is something they can all relate to. But at the public school level, I do't see this happening much these days.
Re: Football and Faith
This is timely as it's being discussed by Ryan Mink on the Ravens website today. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/...5-217ef3478517
Similarly it's something I've wondered about to myself for some time, and I'm with you. The interjection of particular religions and a personal God wouldn't inspire me. It would distract and confuse me, if for only a moment.
At the same time, the Ravens have never been particularly shy about the overt presence of Christianity that permeates their organization. I think they look specifically for players who embrace that belief system. And they are certainly entitled to that.
They also deserve credit for something Mink wrote about during the whole flap between Brendon Ayanabadejo and Emmitt Burns over same sex marriage:
"We support Brendon's right to freedom of speech under the First Amendment," Cass said.
Ayanbadejo was nervous that his actions could impact the Ravens' fan base. That was until Cass stopped him in the hallway outside the team's dining room Friday afternoon. Ayanbadejo recounted their exchange to a group of reporters immediately afterwards.
"[He said] we're in support of you and it's good that you're able to voice your opinion and say how you feel," Ayanbadejo said. "Dick personally told me, 'We're not an organization that discriminates.'"
Ayanbadejo said the two talked about the changing sentiment about same-sex marriage, both nationally and within locker rooms. The conversation left Ayanbadejo ecstatic.
"It really made my day that Dick Cass went out of his way to talk to me today and support me, and that it came down from Mr. Bisciotti," he said. "The Ravens organization is everything that I ever thought it was. It kind of made me feel even deeper rooted in this organization."
There are lots of really deserving people throughout the National Football League who do great things, who work hard, etc. Perhaps the Ravens are the most deserving. Time will tell so far as that goes. But it's not going to be divine. It's going to be scientific.
That's why comments like this make me uncomfortable:
"Those are three things that bind a football team together and bind a group of people together with each other and with their creator," Harbaugh said.

Re: Football and Faith
As a Christian, I don't see the pre-game prayer as a prayer to ask for a win. The outcome of the game is almost besides the point. It is a prayer to perform well with your god-given talents, and to be true to yourself, your teammates and your coaches. In my mind, this is no different than someone saying a prayer to themselves before a work day, or a big meeting, or a speech. "Give me the strength to do X."
And like you, I would hope any God would be paying attention to something other than the Baltimore Ravens, as much as I love them.
I think the whole "God is for US and against THEM" gets overplayed sometimes.Last edited by JohnBKistler; 11-30-2012 at 10:39 AM.
Re: Football and Faith
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think that's what they pray for. I believe based on snippets I've caught, it's to pray for safety and to be blessed with good decision making and to make the most of their talent etc.
On the surface I agree, I honestly have no idea, but I'd hope anyone not wanting to participate could opt out. If not, they should be able to.
I don't think I've ever heard any athlete interject a particular religion, at least not in a pre or post game speech.
See my first comment to JMU
Again, I don't think anyone out there is really praying for God to help them win over another team, like they are somehow more important, at least not anymore players on one team than another.
Just take a look at that quote more deeply "bind a football team together and bind a group of people together with each other and with their creator". Harbaugh is talking about this football team AS a group of people, and the belief they share in a higher power brings them together as friends not just as football players or as a football team. but the end result is a strong group of people and football team.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
Re: Football and Faith
Is that the real reason? Or are you hoping that by moving it so quickly off the main forum (took you less than 20 minutes by my watch) you're hoping that no one will notice & it'll just go away?
(Not that I would blame you for that--when your patrons start arguing politics &/or religion it often ends with some fraction of them walking out & never coming back, & that's not going to help site traffic, is it?)
Honestly, HR, I wish this subject had never come up. This unbeliever (in recovery from Catholicism for over 50 years now) would like nothing better than to continue to cheer for the team that bears the name of his home town & represents it in the NFL without regard to whatever personal beliefs the individual players & coaches entertain.
Unfortunately John Harbaugh has now made that impossible. For no good reason, he's shoved his beliefs into the face of everyone who follows the Ravens, and that article on the team website makes it clear that he's embedded an entire structure of Christian worship into the fabric of the team that leaves anyone who doesn't get with the program on the outside looking in. (I wonder, for example, what sort of resources the team provides for players with "life issues" other than a "team chaplain" who "always" relates them to "their faith in Christ.")
Like JMUpurkfool--whose OP is IMHO an outstanding expression of an unbeliever's misgivings re the topic--I don't much care what sort of things others believe in private, no matter how irrational &/or ludicrous they seem to me, so long as they are respectful of their fellow humans in public. Whatever gets you through the night (or the field goal try with the game on the line). But it is not respectful to shove your beliefs into the face of the rest of the world. Particularly when they have nothing whatsoever to do with your business. (Are the Ravens a better team because of this heavy emphasis on religion? To the extent that it builds group cohesion, perhaps--but there are dozens of ways to do that that don't involve imposing untestable, irrational belief systems on everyone. To the extent that it leaves players who don't share those beliefs either out in the cold, or bowing to group pressure & participating uncomfortably, probably not.)
I have lost so much respect for John Harbaugh since he needlessly opened his mouth about this. Among other things I'm left wondering how much role a player's religious faith (or lack thereof) play in whether he's drafted or signed, & how much a player's "getting with the (worship) program" determines whether he plays or sits or is cut.

Re: Football and Faith
Until someone can provide me with evidence that a player's faith, or lack thereof, determines whether he is drafted, signed, played, benched or cut, this must remain baseless speculation.
In fact, the organization was very supportive - and very public with that support - when a player took a very anti-Catholic position earlier this year.
Lastly, the team chaplain is a resource available to the team. I believe this person has the ultimate responsibility for player development off of the field: http://www.baltimoreravens.com/team/...7-d4911718af45Last edited by JohnBKistler; 11-30-2012 at 02:19 PM. Reason: Quoted poster was speculating - out loud - and not claiming his point.
Re: Football and Faith
That's fair. But it's the quote that follows that is more interesting to me:
"To see it pay off like that, with that kind of success, is more of a validation of faith and trust in one another and in God. I don't like to say it too much because I know some people don't like to hear that, but it's a big part of who we are as a team."
What I do wonder is about how that resonates with people (inside or outside the organization) who don't believe in the coach's God, God in general, or that any God would be particularly concerned with his team's ability to work hard and do their job in the context of what is ultimately a game.Last edited by TheExtraPoint; 11-30-2012 at 11:27 AM.

Re: Football and Faith
The team has gone of it's way to say, repeatedly, that they support all views. Thus, Harb's thoughts about faith are certainly not the official position of the team on religion and faith.
Rather, it's yet another example of the team supporting all views.
I have never understood the concept of when someone of faith, usually of the Christian faith, speaks out, they get criticized for it and it makes those folks uncomfortable.
I am a Theist and do not believe in the Bible (or any organized religion for that matter) but I could care less if someone else believes differently.

Re: Football and Faith
Well, because I do believe in the same god as Harbaugh, the question isn't really directed towards me.
But I will say this, as a fan of the Baltimore Ravens, I do not put my time, my money and my emotional investment into the team to find any sort of spiritual reward (there are other channels in my life for that). I do it to be entertained and to enjoy their successes (of course, I also agonize when they fail). In return, I only ask from them one thing: a professional effort on and off the field. With very little exception, I think I have gotten that from the Ravens. And the wins are a nice by-product.
The fact that Harbaugh is very out-front with his religion doesn't necessarily cause me to be more invested in the team. I don't think Billick ever referenced god as part of his coaching, and I was very happy with the job he did, for the most part.
So until someone shows me an example of how Harbaugh's religious faith determines how the team is managed, I see this as more or less a non-issue.Last edited by JohnBKistler; 11-30-2012 at 11:35 AM.

Please ignore lob, he's making rational unbelievers look like shrill, militant nutters.
As for the original premise, I agree with OP that as a non believer, I feel a certain discomfort when I'm expected to participate or be included in other people's religious practices like team prayers or statements like Harbaugh's that paint every single player, coach, and staff member into the category of "believer" whether they are or not. It creates a feeling of "better play along" that is about as much fun as pretending to enjoy a bad meal to spare a host's feelings.
Now obviously John has much more access to the team and thus knows more than I how his statement will be perceived by the only people who's opinion of him ACTUALLY matter, but I can state unequivocally that had I been a member of that team or coaching staff, I would feel cut out of the larger whole by his decision to bring God into a professional secular environment.
Ray Lewis's tendency to do the same thing is one of the reasons I always found his words hokey, even when his actions were awe inspiring. After Jermaine Lewis's son Geronimo was still born, I remember seeing a clip of Ray telling Jermaine that that was proof that God had great rewards in store for the Ravens. As if a team winning a game was worth the loss of one's child. If someone said that to me to justify the still birth of my kid, I can't imagine I would quite be able to control my reaction.
I guess what I'm saying is that if you have faith, great. Enjoy it. But for those of us who don't, it can be very tricky water trying to incorporate religion and secular systems together without leaving someone feeling put out.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron
Re: Football and Faith
I don't see it that way at all. I see him saying to see "it" (payoff like that) is seeing the shared belief that has made a the bond among the players thus making the TEAM better, is more validation of a God, maybe a bit of confirmation bias on Harbaughs part, but I know way read that as we believe in God more - so he helps us win.
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
The sentiment "I support others rights to believe what they want" is generally honest, but usually hides the preposition, "as long as they don't take their belief seriously."
Reactions like the one ExtraPoint is having show what happens when someone shows they take their belief seriously.Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

Re: Football and Faith
I understand the point you are trying to make, and I agree. But is that the case here? Look at the picture. I see about 20 players and 1 or 2 coaches. Ummm...where is everybody else if they are expected to participate? In fact, of those players that are pictured, it looks like only a handful are truly "invested" in what Harbaugh is saying. Most are just standing there. Several have their back to him!!!
As far as the pre-game prayer. Again, are the players expected to actually participate? Or just be in the room? I suspect some players do pray to God (or their God) for spiritual motivation. Some may meditate. Some may play Grand Theft Auto. As a Christian, doesn't make any difference to me...
Harbaugh is obviously a religious person..and he brings that to his work. If some want to use that as a validation of their own faith, or if it makes them more of Ravens fan, whatever. Fine with me. But until someone brings me evidence that this in any way impacts how the team is managed, I still say this is much to do about nothing.
I guess what I'm saying is that if you have faith, great. Enjoy it. But for those of us who don't, it can be very tricky water trying to incorporate religion and secular systems together without leaving someone feeling put out.
Re: Football and Faith
That's above my paygrade my friend, and not my argument.
All I'm saying is that it is implied in the quote is that there is a correlation between belief in a God and outcomes in sports. It doesn't really make a lot of sense to me, just as it doesn't make a lot of sense to JohnBKistler that this would make people who don't share that belief feel uncomfortable.

Even if we want beautiful and elegant outdoor furniture, the cost is a factor that makes us look better offer. For those on a budget, plastic furniture is a profitable solution. Most times, you'll find a complete set with table and chairs, the price of a wooden chair.
Metal outdoor furniture
Iron Outdoor Furniture
Iron is one of the most common materials used for outdoor furniture. This material is used successfully for hundreds of years. Because of its strength, iron is ideal for making furniture, metal bars and ornaments. If you want your garden to have a classic look, iron is the right choice. Iron has some disadvantages, however. One of them is weight.
Iron is a very difficult and it will be difficult to move furniture as you want. For older people or the most fragile, this can be a major impediment. Hardness and other disadvantages are susceptibility to rust of iron.
Also, if iron is not treated and cared for properly, may rust. To prevent rust, however, it is advisable to move furniture in a room covered in cold periods of the year. Iron is a material incorfortabil cold. It is important that when you buy wooden chairs or armchairs them with fluffy pillows and cozy cover.
Aluminum Outdoor Furniture
Aluminum is a much more comfortable furniture iron. This material is resistant to corrosion and is also much lighter than iron. Moreover, aluminum is the metal used around the world, just for its flexibility. At some point in history, aluminum was considered much more valuable than gold, and welcomes its guests Napoleon important meal kits made of aluminum. Aluminum rust resistance and flexibility, however, are properties that will feel the budget. Outdoor furniture made of aluminum is more expensive than iron, but you will see that these costs will fade in time. Also, aluminum furniture is easy to handle.
Wooden Outdoor furniture
Pine Outdoor Furniture
Pine is the most popular and expensive wood used for making outdoor furniture. This wood is the most used in construction. If cared for, pine furniture can last many years. If you want your garden a classical and easy maintenance outdoor furniture, pine is the ideal choice. You must be careful to moister but because pine is very vulnerable to water and wood can rot. But if it protected with a protective waterproof sheet, pin this problem will disappear and you will enjoy your furniture as long as possible.
Cedar Outdoor Furniture
Cedar wood is a special, unmistakable aroma. This wood is preferred for both its aesthetic properties, for its red color, and for resistance to moisture and insects, making it suitable for outdoor furniture. Cedar is used for making wardrobes and cupboards, so keep insects away. Unlike pine, cedar should not be chemically treated to resist moisture, because it produces oil, which seals the wood surface. A drawback of this wood is that the color will fade in time, getting to have a gray tint.
Teak outdoor furniture
Teak is the wood used for outdoor furniture, preferably over time so wealthy, and those with fewer financial resources. Teak is resistant, has an exotic flavor and prevents rust and corrosion when used with metal. These features have plastic first place among manufacturers of boats. Today, teak is a luxury and is the most expensive of all types of wood used for outdoor furniture. But teak furniture will last forever. In England for example, there are banks located in parks, which are made of teak and even dating back 100 years.
Teak can be used in combination with metals. Many manufacturers of furniture from teak wood combine this with elements from steel or aluminum for added elegance. For all types of wood used for outdoor furniture, teak is by far the most recommended.
Plastic outdoor furniture
Plastic outdoor furniture is more affordable and advisable if you have a small budget. Palstic furniture store can be found in many forms and can give your patio garden or a modern. Also, this type of furniture is found in various colors, so you can match to anything and is easy to clean and maintain. There is also a more special type of furniture made from recycled plastic bottles.
Thus obtained is eco furniture, easy to maintain and durable. Plastic furniture can easily imitate the styles of furniture and can be recycled. Plastic and can be similar to wicker furniture. This type of furniture is more durable and easier to maintain.
Wicker outdoor furniture
Although wicker furniture is mainly used for closed spaces, this type of wood can be used successfully in the garden or terrace. Wicker is preferred by those who want a comfortable and rustic atmosphere. Wicker can be obtained from bamboo, rattan or cane. Some types of wicker can be more resistant to heat, moisture or cold. Wicker is available in neutral colors, but can be painted as you wish. Wicker furniture is light, durable and easy to clean and maintain.

Hi guys, so this evening i decided i wanted to do psi-balls again (after a very long break cuz i got bored and were really really impatient) and i did all the usual stuff like visualize my Energy flow and all that... and like many of the other times i felt some sort of magnetic feeling like there was a magnet between my hands - not that it was strong enough to pull my hands apart but more like it got "harder" to close my hands around the ball - is this some sort of sign that im doing something related to psionics or is it just my body thinking that it'd make me happy to feel something?

Editor's note: This is the first of a series of stories on news, analysis, and product reviews from LegalTech New York 2013. - sd
At LegalTech New York, there were plenty of new products and services, enhancements to existing products and services, and more ways to conduct computer-assisted review, technology-assisted review, or predictive coding than fortune tellers at a carnival.
There were upwards of 12,000 attendees, according to Henry Dicker, vice president of events and executive director of LegalTech. That would make for another record-breaking LTNY, not counting the untold number of tree people" at the show who quartered in surrounding hotels to demonstrate products and woo potential customers.
Many people have asked me "How was the show?" and "What was the coolest thing you saw at the show?" Let's take a look:
Mountain View, Calif.-based Advanced Discovery launched two new free electronic data discovery tools for its customers who use kCura's Relativity review platform: Advanced Visibility and Advanced Review. Both run in Relativity's web interface with a single login, but do not impact Relativity's performance because they run on a separate platform and use their own version of Microsoft SQL.
Advanced Visibility tracks all phases of discovery projects, including the input of data from forensic programs such as Guidance Software's EnCase Forensic and AccessData's FTK. Features include real-time information and visual, drill-down case and document review tracking. Visibility offers general counsel drill-down, dashboard views of document review projects, including cost breakdowns and review statistics. Reports can be exported in .csv format more export options are expected in version 1.2 that will be out in March.
Figure 1 shows Advanced Discovery's dashboard view in kCura Relativity's web interface. Click image to enlarge.
Advanced Review is designed to analyze and report on document review projects to improve predictability, performance, and quality. Features include the ability to create budgets and time lines and surface review metrics and analysis to make staffing decisions and improve the defensibility of sampling and testing in computer-assisted document review.
Figure 2 shows Advanced Discovery's view into document review within kCura Relativity. Click image to enlarge.
Bridgeway Software, which offers software and services to manage legal services, unveiled a new service: Law Department Maturity Assessment Tool. It aims to empower law departments to assess their operational maturity and measure how well they are contributing to the organization's mission.
Catalyst Repository Systems Inc., a cloud-based provider of document repositories, announced its EDD predictive coding tool, Insight Predict, which is integrated with the company's XML-based EDD product, Catalyst Insight. Insight Predict facilitates the review process to find relevant documents. The company distinguishes its predictive process from others with "contextual diversity sampling," which ranks documents based on a sample or "seed set" from a document corpus using an iterative, self-correcting process called "Predictive Ranking" Catalyst's process feeds additional samples to a document expert to test or validate the Insight Predict's output, the company says.
Cicayda: Nashville, Tenn.-based Cicayda unveiled the first component of a cloud-based e-discovery application. At the show, the startup company launched Fermata legal hold management software. Former CaseLogistix CEO, Roe Frazer, now CEO fo Cicayda, said that the legal hold software will be followed by more products that ultimately will provide an end-to-end e-discovery system. Out of the gate, Fermata appears comparable to Zapproved Legal Hold Pro, with the promise of adding more applications that will crescendo into an end-to-end e-discovery platform.
Epiq Systems, an e-discovery and document review software and services provider, introduced its new web-based EDD dashboard, Epiq Portal 2.0. It provides real-time project information and dynamic reports to legal teams, as well as workflow and early case assessment tools. It integrates with Epiq's proprietary review platform.
Equivio launched Themes, a new content analtyics application that maps thematic relationships across documents and document sets. Themes is designed for litigators, strategists, and investigators to quickly scan documents and find out what they need from the collection.
Ernst & Young LLP announced its predictive coding platform, which uses patented technologies and processes that the consulting group acquired from Cataphora Legal in May 2011. The new application works with kCura's Relativity, so users can turn to kCura for Boolean searching, batching, and imaging. Ernst & Young's predictive process parses each document into hundreds of topics and assigns a relevance score to each topic per unique document; topics are correlated with attorney sampling decisions using the company's voting schema.
Attorney Chi Eng, CEO of NeuLexa, launched the eponymous legal workflow software with project and document management tools at LegalTech. Eng said NeuLexa is designed by "lawyers for lawyers" who want to improve legal work product quality, bolster existing client relations, assemble geographically dispersed legal teams, and improve cost efficiency.
NeuLexa aims to accomplish its mission by offering an on-demand computing and storage environment via Amazon's cloud infrastructure, which will grow and contract according to your needs. The cloud-based software focuses its legal workflow around people, not data. The startup has an intuitive project and document management interface with internal social media features that leverage the skills and knowledge base of the participating members of legal teams. Project team and client collaboration is conducted within a highly secure Amazon compute environment that employs military-grade encryption of data, messages, and files in transit and at rest in storage. NeuLexa offers a free trial.
Covering LegalTech involves searching the exhibit hall and traveling from booth to booth, suite to suite, and sometimes hotel to hotel in search of new products and new features to existing products. This was the first year that a product came to me. Albert Barsocchini, of NightOwl Discovery, introduced me to a one-terabyte external USB drive that comprised the new nVelope Collection Kit 1.0 and asked me if I would like to kick the tires on the reusable $500 self-collection tool.
The nVelope product collects from a computer running Microsoft Windows XP or above with a USB interface. After I unsuccessfully tried booting my system from the USB drive, I booted the local Windows 7 operationg system and ran the NCKLauncher.exe file on the USB drive. The nVelope program opened to a graphical user interface to collect files from my computer. See Figure 3.
Figure 3 shows NightOwl's nVelope Collection Kit user interface. Click image to enlarge.
The nVelope UI gave me options to collect the entire drive, collect selected content on the drive, or engage a "smart collection," with which I could select a file type such as Outlook .pst files to collect. I will review nVelope tomorrow.
Themis Solutions Inc. announced its first "ground-up" redesign at LTNY since the product's first launch five years ago at LegalTech West Coast. The first phase of its redesign improves the user interface. Clio's forms have also been redesigned to make it easier to enter data and provide in-place validation. A new "quick-start" sidebar timer helps users to start, stop, and modify timers in a few mouse-clicks (see Figure 4, below). Additional phases of the redesign will continue to be rolled out over the next few months, the company said.
Figure 4 shows a Clio timer that remains sticky on every browser page. Click on the timer to start, stop, and even open a new timer, which starts and automatically stops concurrent timers.
Downer's Grove, Ill.-based Microsystems released a new white paper based on a recent survey conducted by ALM Intelligence (like Law Technology News, an ALM holding) and sponsored by Microsystems, designed to identify disconnects in the communication between law firms and their corporate clients. The paper, "Meeting Client Expectations? The Hidden Secret for Improved Satisfaction," describes the challenges that lawyers in law firms and corporate legal departments face and how they meet those challenges with technology.
The ALM survey revealed that law departments and their corporate counsel have a common goal to deliver quality legal products, but that the workflow process can impact a corporate legal department's overall experience and the work product that is delivered.
The survey identified five different areas where law firms can improve on corporate client relations to ensure they do not lose a client due to "sub-par document quality and delivery:
Deliver high-quality documents on time.
Improve the reuse of existing work product with a multitude of sources.
Meet corporate counsel's expectations for document validation.
Include clients in the drafting process.
Minimize delivering redline reports via email.
According to the survey, legal departments and law firms generally agree that the overall document exchange and review processs could be better only about one-quarter of a total of 118 respondents claimed document exchange was adequate. ALM Intelligence gathered data from an email invitation distributed and returned via email between July 9 and August 6, 2012.
Invitations were sent to general counsel, deputy general counsels, and corporate counsels in corporate legal departments for the legal department survey. A total of 118 responses were received from legal departments. Invitations for a separate, but similar survey was sent to attorneys (from Associate to Managing Partner) at U.S. law firms of varying sizes. 107 responses were received from law firms.
The AccessData Group had a number of significant enhancements to its forensic toolkit, FTK 4.2, its mobile phone collection and analyzer tool, Mobile Phone Examiner Plus 5.2.1, and AD Triage 2.1, AD's collection and early-case assessment tool.
FTK 4.2 now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012, but you will have to provide the license. The Internet Information Server log files can now be viewed in HTML format and be broken up into discreet time records for review. Like the log files, you can process selected Registry files (e.g., SAM and NTUSER.DAT), as individual time records "interspersed" with other data. The new FTK has additional support for compressed PDF files, Apple iWork 09, IBM SmartSuite 9.8, Adobe Creative Suite 5, and Microsoft OneNote 2007/2010, among other file types. The new version can also decrypt Bitlocker in Windows 7 and Vista and visualize web browser history. If that's not enough for a dot release, see the release notes.
AD MPE Plus 5.2.1 includes a SmartDevice app analysis for Android and iOS that automatically pares application data for mobile apps inlcuding Facebook, LinkedIn, Skype, and Twitter. The new version supports iOS 6 and 6.0.1 physical images and has updated support for iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini. And in one click, the MPE Plus' iOS and Android images can be parsed for critical user data, deleted logs and SMS texts in the event a device malfunctions. For more information on the new MPE Plus, see the release notes.
The new version of AD Triage 2.1 can come up in kiosk mode to give users the option to select one of the product's predefined profiles to use for collection. The new version captures screens of individual windows whether they are open, minimized, or moved off screen. In addition, the program can interrogate USB devices to obtain information on the first time the OS has seen the peripheral device, the date the device was last mounted, and the user that mounted it, as well as the local device's drive letters and volumes associated with the device. View AD Triage 2.1 release notes.
Catalyst Repository Systems released OnRamp 2013, which was formerly used for customer relations, but now used by Catalyst Insight e-discovery platform. OnRamp's new role is a behind-the-firewall enterprise data integration tool, which helps corporations load data into Catalyst's secure enterprise and cloud repository. OnRamp creates a compressed RAR file of approximately 4 GB or 10,000 documents to upload the file or files to the cloud using Secure Copy Protocol. Although free, the program requirements include a licensed copy of WinRAR 4 ($29.00).
OnRamp 2013 helps corporations and licensees to automatically collect and load structured and unstructured data quickly. The program provides more administrative control to users and works with an XML-database, called MarkLogic. More information.
Portland-based Exterro Inc., an e-discovery and information governance software provider, unveiled a number of advancements to the company's Fusion platform that focus on data management, including automatic document categorization, a wiki/web collector, direct ingestion of forensic files into the ESI vault, as well as data analytics.
Gallivan Gallivan & O'Melia enhanced redaction and privilege management in Digital WarRoom 8.4. See Press release.
Hewlett-Packard Corp. strengthened its e-discovery offerings with new information governance capabilities. Although predictive coding news and information still permeated the exhibit halls, information governance is becoming the talk of the town for many e-discovery providers, offering their technology, like HP, to help organizations automate and simplify the processing of large, diverse data sets.
HP has been an early adopter of applying e-discovery tools to its information governance software. Autonomy's eDiscovery platform is part of its Legal and Compliance Performance Suite. This combination is designed to detect new signals of risk in data and aims to give organizations a leg up in early case assessment of a litigation claim as well as comply with local, federal, and international legal obligations. HP's updates at LegalTech included the extension of its meaning-based coding technology, which uses Autonomy Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) to automate content analysis, to Autonomy's Early Case Assessment (ECA) module. IDOL categorizes content by concepts, ideas, and patterns of information across single and multiple documents. With the integration of HP's Application Information Optimizer, HP can automate the migration or retirement of data in its Autonomy eDiscovery process as well as ingest and review structured data.
HP's Autonomy also added native discovery functionality to its archiving software. Autonomy released a fully integrated native discovery module that is designed to work with Autonomy Consolidated Archve, an information and governance software offering. ACA indexes and forms an understanding of the content available from various information repositories. In effect, organizations can apply early-case e-discovey across archived material.
Denver-based LawToolBox.com Inc. has added new customization capabilities to its eponymous software-as-a-service offering. The deadlines calculates and tracks deadlines for court cases based on civil procedure rules and automatically synchronizes those deadlines to Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, and Lexis/Nexis Time Matters, among others. LawToolBox.com now lets you create deadline calendars for related events and practices unique to a specific case.
Nextpoint Inc. continues to enhance Discovery Cloud, Trial Cloud, and Cloud Preservation, which I will review this month. A major new feature in Discovery Cloud and Trial Cloud includes the ability to import web mail such as Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail. A custom date-picking widget is now available in Trial Cloud and Cloud Preservation that lets you use custom date stamps when importing documents. Prior to LegalTech, the social media and web-based collection and processing tool unveiled a product to protect privilege.
Viewpointe, a provider of cloud-based information governance software and services, announced a significant release of its information governance platform, OnPointe. The enhancements aim to unify and simplfy early case assessment, review assignments, and legal hold notifications.
Catalyst Repository Systems has partnered with Proofpoint, Inc., a security-as-a-service provider that will supply data protection software to Catalyst's cloud-based e-discovery service.
Exterro and TyMetrix, a legal business software provider, announced on January 23 that it will integrate its system with Exterro's Fusion. TyMetrix will add Fusion's legal hold and e-discovery management capabilities to its TyMetrix 360 e-billing and management software.
The Exterro-TyMetrix partnership will allow TyMetrix clients to tag matters requiring legal holds in TyMetrix 360 and transmit relevant matter details to Fusion Legal Hold. Fusion will then update TyMetrix with e-discovery status updates, such as the number of custodians and collection details and associated costs to provide some transparency to the e-discovery process.
Mitratech announced that TeamConnect Deadlines will be available in an upcoming release. Since partnering with Aderant in 2012, Mitratech has been implementing CompuLaw's Deadlines.com engine into its TeamConnect matter management application. With the forthcoming TeamConnect Deadlines, customers will have access to CompuLaw's date calculation engine utilizing a database of court rules.
Thomson Reuters and CQ Roll Call have joined forces to provide WestlawNext customers with exclusive coverage of securities, banking, and energy policy developments in the federal regulatory agencies and Congress. The product, "Washington Briefings," will cover three legal practice areas: securities, banking, and energy. CQ Roll Call Washington Securities Briefing, Washington Banking Briefing, and Washington Energy Briefing will appear in Practitioner Insights new practice area-specific pages on WestlawNext later in the first quarter.
Attorney Sean Doherty is LTN's technology editor.

Most companies now have a Social Media strategy in place, whether it be in use for PR purposes (as a lot of big companies are doing with Twitter) or for Lead generation (this is the side that most marketing companies are talking about). Regardless of your approach, it's going to be important to understand how things are working for you.
There are some important statistics that you're going to have to monitor, like audience size and interactions, but if you're active across multiple platforms this can get a bit confusing. The fact that there are hundreds of different terms being thrown around, all of which basically mean the same thing, doesn't exactly help. On top of this, there's some more important and all together more interesting things you're going to want to monitor, and they may not be the first thing that gets drawn to your attention.
What I'm going to do is break down for you all the different things that might get mentioned in a report to help you get a clear picture of how your campaign is going.

Another major insurer, Liberty Mutual, has 60 adjusters in the area physically inspecting 1,500 claims. Chief commercial claims officer George Neale said all businesses will be visited in the next two weeks.
"We work hard to try to get our people back in business as soon as possible... and deliver on our promise," said Neale.
Businesses that think the wait will be too long -- or that the insurer's adjuster won't give a fair estimate -- could choose to hire their own adjusters to get repair estimates.
But that can be risky, said Ervin Gonzalez, a South Florida attorney who fought against builders and insurers for shoddy practices after 1992's Hurricane Andrew. Gonzalez said that there aren't enough adjusters in the New York area, so thousands of them will travel from across the country looking for work.
Some will overcharge, taking 20% or more of what an insurer will eventually pay -- much higher than the 10% cap for residential properties in states like Florida.
Gonzalez also warned that independent adjusters who land contract work for insurers have incentive to offer business owners less than what their loss is worth, because these contractors want the insurer to hire them again.
"We saw that with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and after Hurricane Andrew in Miami," Gonzalez said.
The last step, settling the claim, could be the most precarious -- and disappointing. Small business owners in Florida know that well, especially after Hurricane Andrew, which sparked a wave of lawsuits from those who felt their claims got low-balled, if they received money at all.
The old age of buildings in New Jersey and New York are likely to play a factor. Insurers could blame some of the damage on age instead of the storm, as was the case for Miami attorney Philippe Lieberman. He went through great pains to prove his client's two dozen Florida strip malls were damaged by 2005's Hurricane Wilma -- and not because they were old.
"I don't envy New Yorkers," Lieberman said. "They should expect a difficult and exhausting process."

Hound Vehicle
Hound Character Notes -
Hound is a member of an older generation of Transformer. He fought alongside Optimus Prime during the early years of the Cybertron war, before joining an elite combat team called The Wreckers, led by an Autobot General known as Magnus.
He was sent to Earth on a reconnaissance mission. His job was to track a squad of Decepticon spies and report their movements back to Magnus, who was en route to Earth with the rest of the Wreckers to deal with the growing off-world threat. The Decepticons were attempting to influence the outcome of World War Two for their own evil purposes.
Soon after arriving on Earth, Hound mysteriously lost communication with his team, but decided to continue his mission regardless.
He tracked a group of Decepticons to a US Army base, where he took the form of a military Jeep to observe them undercover. It wasnt long before he was discovered...by a human soldier named Sergeant James Wilde.
After convincing Sgt. Wilde that he wasnt a Nazi war robot, the two stuck up a unique, and secret, friendship that lasted for many years. During this time, Hound joined his human companion on many missions and developed an unprecedented appreciation for Earth culture.
It was during one of these missions when tragedy struck, and Sgt. Wilde was killed in action. Hound was distraught, having lost his only friend and companion. He recovered the sergeants dogtags and hung them from his Jeep modes rear view mirror.
He continued his mission alone, until one day a fight with a Decepticon soldier left him mortally wounded. To save his own life he went into self-imposed stasis lock and reverted to his vehicle mode.
His current whereabouts are unknown.

After a design reboot for the 2011 model, the 2012 Scion tC coupe sees few base-model changes. The most notable change is the new 300-watt Pioneer sound system. The "High Voltage" Release Series 7.0 package is the biggest new feature available, giving buyers upgraded wheels, a TRD-designed body kit, keyless entry and push-button start, and a unique High Voltage finish.
The Scion tC has proven to be everything its competitors feared. Smartly styled, fuel-efficient and a blast to drive, the little tC is more than just a good valueit has become the poster child for the lucrative aftermarket parts and customization crowd. Though not as space-efficient as the xA or xB, the tC can comfortably fit two adults and its versatile hatch design makes it easy to load in sports equipment or overnight gear. A near-flawless repair history and excellent resale value are but part of the tC's early success stories. By holding the tC's price well below $18,000, Scion has grabbed a substantial chunk of the all-important youth market, grabbing young buyers who may likely move up to Toyota and Lexus brands as they grow older.

Crunch advance to Calder Cup Finals!
For the first time in franchise history, the Syracuse Crunch are Conference Champions and are headed to the Calder Cup Finals!
For the first time in franchise history, the Syracuse Crunch are Conference Champions and are headed to the Calder Cup Finals!
A rested Syracuse Crunch team opens up the third round of the AHL playoffs against a history-making Wilkes-Barre/Scranton team.
With a win tonight by Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, the Crunch's third round playoff schedule is finalized.
The NHL veteran suffered an undisclosed injury on Friday night and will not play again for the Crunch during the playoffs.
The Syracuse Crunch have swept the Springfield Falcons in the AHL Eastern Conference semi-finals. The sweep marks the first 7-game sweep in Crunch history.
Marty gives a vote of confidence; the Syracuse Crunch have veterans to thank (and quality sc oring chances too); Game 7's are done with... On to the Semifinals!
The Crunch took advantage of poor goaltending last night in Springfield, winning 5-2. How Springfield responds t o that opening night laugher remains to be seen - just don't expect a repeat of lat night.
The second round of the AHL playoffs gets underway for the Crunch tonight in Springfield Massachusetts agains t the #2 seed in the conference, the Falcons.
Not so long ago, the Tampa Bay Lightning were affiliated with the Springfield AHL franchise. And things didn't go well. Likewise, the Columbus Blue Jackets - Springfield's current parent club - doesn't have the rosiest of reputations with Crunch fans

Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D)
GRAV-D is a proposal by the National Geodetic Survey to re-define the vertical datum of the US by 2021.
The gravity-based vertical datum resulting from this project will be accurate at the 2 cm level for much of the country. The proposal is official policy for NGS and is included in the NGS 10 year plan. The project is currently underway and actively collecting gravity data across the United States and its holdings.
Why is the Vertical Datum important?
The GRAV-D project consists of three major campaigns:
1. A high-resolution "snapshot" of gravity in the US:
This is a predominantly airborne campaign, to be accomplished around 2017 and at a cost of ~39 Million dollars. The highest priority targets are: Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, the Gulf Coast, the Great Lakes, and Hawaii (some portions of which have already been
). The coastline of the continental US and the American island holdings are also of high priority.
2. A low-resolution "movie" of gravity changes:
This is primarily a terrestrial campaign and will mostly encompass episodic re-visits of absolute gravity sites, attempting to monitor geographically dependent changes to gravity over time. This will allow time dependent geoid modeling and thus time dependent orthometric height monitoring through GNSS technology.
3. Regional partnership surveys:
NGS seeks to collaborate with local (governmental, commercial, and academic) partners throughout the GRAV-D project. Partners that are willing to support airborne or terrestrial surveys or to monitor local variations in the gravity field are a critical component of GRAV-D. Please
contact us
if your organization is interested in collaboration.

Sorry, didn't attach it correctly the first time. IT's there now.
Troy, he's got stuff that's not on the list that'd be perfect for you. I found a bag labeled "DEATH" so of course I had to open it. It's a 10' Flexi with lightning bolts and a skull. And the Flexi stack of European flags, handpainted by Ray Merry, it pretty cool too.

Should I wait until I can get a good edger with diamond/ceramic stones to change the bevel, or go ahead and do it with this one? Do you have recommendations for edge beveling tools?

I'm, too lazy to level up staryu until it learns hydro pump, so can I use surf instead?
Surf- 100 acc. 95 power Hydro pump- 80 Acc 120 power
I like surf, decent power, high accuracy.
But in double battles, not a good move if your teammate is weak to water.
Surf Man. Surf has tons of power, plus high PP and a killer HM move. Not to mention it looks cooler. Only thing is that if you are playing G4, dont forget to delete it when you transfer your pokemon or they wont let you do it. I had to delete Surf off my surfing Pikachu level 100 (You get it in Battle Revolution, not a hack) and now I feel sad :(
Surf - Ok, surf is helpful outside of the battle and also the strongest HM of the game, It I would say has Exceptional Power and can be useful during parts of the game So Surf wouldn't be a bad choice if it is what you chose.
Hydro Pump - Hydro Pump is awesome and much stronger than Surf it would be an awesome Choice during a Gym/Pkmn Trainer Battle but if you want a good ouside and In battle move It shouldn't be Hydro Pump. Hydro Pump Though is a great battle Move.
As You can See Either would be a great choice :D
For Battle: Hydro Pump Outside & In- Battle: Surf Hope I helped :)
Surf is a good move hence it's an Hm,and that it connects well. POWER:95 ACCURACY:100 CATEGORY:Special
Although Hydropump has pretty decent power,the same with most powerful moves,it has lower accuracy. POWER:120 ACCURACY:80 CATEGORY:Special
Using this,I'd say use surf. Hope this helps. :D
Use surf! I don't wanna copy anyone else's answer so i'll add on that remember Surf is an HM move! You can go across water + it has 100 accuracy!
It's a pretty strong move but as Nascarfan said your teammate might have a disadvantage. It is also very useful in the game as you can travel through water with it.
Hydro Pump
A powerful water type attack most water types learn this move. It's accuracy is 85% so there is a chance it might miss but you could use items to increase it's accuracy. (Forgot the name)
Surf is a decent move with 100% acc and 95 power, but Hydro pump is a stronger move and can probably take out most pokemon. But it has low acc, if you want to take a risk and go for a strong move pick Hydro pump if you want to stay safe and make sure you don't miss pick surf.
Hope this helped =)
Pros: 100 Accuracy, 95 power. Can take you around the Region. Hits multiple foes. Max 24 PP. Plenty of Pokemon can learn it. Cons: Hits allies, which can be bad if they are weak to water. Can't be deleted easily.
Hydro Pump:
Pros: 120 Power, being Baws during Rain. 80 Accuracy, which is decent. Cons: Max PP of 8. Only available to Water types, Staryu learns it at level 60.
Go with surf for dat Power.

Report: GM high performance division put back to work, focus on small cars
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Aug 23rd, 2010 at 11:31AM
In early 2009, General Motors announced it would be putting all high-performance vehicle projects on indefinite hold, citing that the engineering team responsible for these power-happy cars would be moved to different areas within the company. Since then, the only new performance models to come out of GM have been the CTS-V Coupe and Sport Wagon, leaving a huge void in the General's affordable small performance portfolio. The Chevrolet Cobalt SS and HHR SS were discontinued, and the demise of Pontiac and Saturn did away with any GXP and Red Line products. However, all of this may change... Read More
