Prosecutors guilty of playing with man's compensation
The law says James Ochoa is owed money for a false conviction. But the attorney general's office is hedging.
Dana Parsons
June 30, 2007
The cops, the district attorney and a judge already have had their fun with James Ochoa, behaving like dogs with a chew toy. Now it's the attorney general's turn to snarl, take a bite or two, and fling him around some more.
All in the name of justice, of course.
Ochoa was 20 years old in December 2005 when he pleaded guilty in Orange County Superior Court to second-degree robbery and accepted a two-year prison term.
He'd pleaded not guilty to carjacking and robbery in Buena Park, but had listened as one of the victims testified that he was the guy. And with Judge Robert Fitzgerald's words ringing in his ears — that he'd give him the max if convicted — Ochoa put two and two together and got four. He took the offer on the table, instead of risking life in prison.
At the time, Ochoa's protestation of innocence would have sounded like just another guilty guy's chant. Except for one thing: He was innocent.
Ten months into his prison term, DNA testing pointed to a man in custody for another carjacking. When he proved to be the real culprit in the Buena Park carjacking, the Orange County D.A.'s office promptly called for Ochoa's release and expressed remorse.
I'd give them more credit, but the D.A.'s office put Ochoa on trial knowing that DNA testing of the carjacker's clothing had eliminated him. Prosecutors considered that an insufficient reason to do more investigating, largely because the two victims identified Ochoa after cops surmised he might be responsible and showed his photo to them. On parole for a drug offense at the time, Ochoa lived in the area where the crime occurred.
Once, people like Ochoa just had to grin and bear it. But several years ago, Gov. Gray Davis signed a bill that allowed incarcerated people who later were proved innocent to receive compensation for their imprisonment. The rate was $100 a day, which in Ochoa's case would come to about $30,000. He has filed a claim for the money.
Enter the state attorney general's office, which makes a recommendation to the hearing officer and victim compensation board that will decide Ochoa's claim.
End of story, right? Must be a no-brainer, right? Ochoa didn't do it, everybody knows it and he did 317 days in prison (the 200 days he did in county jail awaiting trial don't count).
Show him the money!
Maybe, but don't forget that Ochoa is a human chew toy. In her report, Deputy Atty. Gen. Catherine Chatman wrote that the A.G.'s office "does not intend to present evidence in opposition to Mr. Ochoa's claim."
So far, so good. But in the body of her report, Chatman discusses the two key elements that a person "must prove" under state law to qualify for compensation. The first is innocence; the second is that the person didn't do anything to "contribute to the bringing about of his arrest or conviction…. "
Ochoa's innocence isn't in dispute, Chatman writes. But on the second point, she describes Ochoa's claim as "more problematic." Disputing Ochoa's contention, she finds no indication that Fitzgerald was hostile or played a role in Ochoa's decision to accept the plea that, in essence, convicted him. She recommends that the board find this guilty plea was voluntary.
"Mr. Ochoa's fear of a lengthy prison term and the mistaken but positive eyewitness identification appear to have been the truly motivating factors," she writes.
Ochoa's attorney, Joshua Stock, is beside himself. He acknowledges the conclusion that the attorney general won't present evidence against Ochoa at his hearing, which hasn't been scheduled yet. But, Stock says, Chatman's report gives the hearing officer the legal cover to deny the claim.
"The hearing officer will have this letter," Stock says, "and he'll know the attorney general's problem with the case is that Mr. Ochoa, in their opinion, contributed to his own conviction by pleading guilty."
Stock says he has a sworn affidavit from Scott Borthwick, Ochoa's trial attorney, that Fitzgerald told Ochoa that he'd give him the maximum sentence if he were convicted. The remarks were made in court but Fitzgerald went off the record when he said it, Borthwick and Stock say. That may explain why Chatman doesn't cite it in her report, Stock says.
As for the plea, Stock concedes that Ochoa wasn't "held down and beaten" before taking the plea. "You've got to look at the circumstances," he says. "But I don't think they're going to look outside the box. The law says this, he voluntarily took his plea, and I think we're in trouble, to be honest with you."
I wanted Chatman to clear up the seeming discrepancy — specifically, that the A.G.'s office won't present evidence in opposition while at the same time finding that Ochoa didn't satisfy all the elements needed to qualify for the money.
She said she couldn't comment on a pending case, and a spokesman for the A.G.'s office said it doesn't want to go beyond what's in Chatman's letter to the board's attorney. The spokesman, Gareth Lacy, acknowledges my suggestion that a mixed message is sent. When I asked him, specifically, why the office won't simply say that it supports Ochoa's claim, Lacy says the A.G.'s office has nothing to add beyond what Chatman wrote.
People, help me. Give me a reality check.
If the purpose of the law is to compensate the wrongly convicted, and if a man who knows he's innocent pleads guilty because he fears getting a maximum sentence based on false testimony and a judge's warning, how is that a voluntary plea?
Literally, I get it. Ochoa wasn't water-boarded.
But in the world of common sense? Why should a plea, made under the threat of a life sentence, be held against someone who is factually innocent?
I went to one more source. Scott Baugh is the head of the Orange County Republican Party and the former Huntington Beach assemblyman who wrote the compensation law that Davis signed.
Baugh wasn't familiar with the Ochoa case, but I read Chatman's depiction of the case and her findings.
For starters, Baugh says, he had "a sense of outrage over the scenario," beginning with Ochoa being taken to trial when DNA apparently excluded him. "It's disturbing that a prosecutor can charge somebody with serious felonies knowing that the DNA at the scene of the crime did not match that of the defendant," he says.
"DNA points to innocence, and yet our system of criminal justice allows the possibility that eyewitness testimony can send innocent people to prison."
Baugh is preaching to the choir on that, but to me, the key issue here is the plea and its possible effect on the hearing officer who will largely decide Ochoa's claim.
Voluntary? Involuntary?
To Baugh, it's crystal clear. "I find it outrageous," he says, "that you can force someone into a Hobson's choice of 25 years to life or pleading to a crime he didn't commit and spending two years in prison, and call it a voluntary decision. Even if the judge said nothing, he's facing 25 years to life or a two-year plea bargain.
"That's not a voluntary decision, if he's an innocent man.
"It's not the spirit of the statute, at all, that I carried."
It's possible, of course, that Ochoa will win his claim. Baugh surmises that the A.G.'s office is simply trying to ensure that the so-called second element of the bill isn't automatically brushed aside.
I understand that. What bugs me is the A.G.'s almost cavalier response to someone who did 10 months in state prison, not to mention nearly seven months before that in county jail. By that, I mean that to define an innocent man's guilty plea as "voluntary" and to factor it into a compensation decision sounds like a lawyer's strained attempt to find a loophole.
Baugh says the second element was meant to stop frivolous claims.
"Hypothetically," he says, "if some guy who was mouthing off and he says he did something he didn't do and later was proved innocent, he contributed to his own incarceration. In those cases, law enforcement has got to do what it's got to do."
Understood. Which only makes Ochoa's claim even more clear-cut.
A no-brainer, right from the start.
Unless, of course, you think that doing hard time makes someone less human and fair game for legal hocus-pocus.

Here's how the mangler squigs are coming along. Overall its a nice model, but I'm a little disappointed with the details on the finecast. For the price and size this should be a centre piece of my army, but in the end I don't think the quality is quite there to fit that bill. Things like the details on the goblins and the texture on the squigs aren't to my liking (more suited to drybrushing than layering).
Regardless, its a great looking model and will be fun to have on the table top. Here's some pics:

Every year I watch the Super Bowl. Others in my house root for teams; I'm there for the wings and chips. But also the commercials.
This year one of those commercials affected how I imagined the scripture reading we heard today. The Gospel of Mark sounded like one of those Super Bowl commercials. The camera pans to Peter, James, and John standing on the mountain with Jesus, rugged guys in the woods. And then, as Mark explains, "Jesus was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them." And then Peter turns to the camera, "Tide Commercial."
But another commercial caught my attention even more: the use of Martin Luther King's stirring Drum Major Instinct sermon to sell Ram Trucks. In the speech, King reflected on the story of James and John, on the way down from the mountain, asking Jesus for positions of authority in his kingdom. The disciples utterly missed the point of Jesus' teaching. And King zeroed in on this in his sermon, speaking of the "drum major instinct" inside all of us that pushes us to be praised, to be first of all our peers; that desire to have position of power.
King talked about the way advertisers appealed to our drum major instinct in their ads, saying:
"Now the presence of this instinct explains why we are so often taken by advertisers. You know, those gentlemen of massive verbal persuasion. And they have a way of saying things to you that kind of gets you into buying. In order to be a man of distinction, you must drink this whiskey. In order to make your neighbors envious, you must drive this type of car."
Ram Trucks didn't include King's comments about car advertisers in the commercial. Instead they lifted King's evocation of true greatness that comes from service to others: loving somebody, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting those in prison, trying to love and serve humanity.
Ever since the commercial aired, people came out against its use of King's sermon to sell trucks. Such irony: King's sermon on disciples not understanding Jesus misused by people who didn't understand King. In that aftermath, I couldn't help but wonder, "How did someone not notice King's critique of advertisers? How did someone not notice this would be problematic?"
Today, I want to think with you about the spiritual practice of noticing. To me this word links together two defining practices of our faith. The practice of prayer involves noticing; so does the work of justice. We are called to be disciples that notice.
Our Gospel lesson from Mark makes this point by telling stories of the ways the disciples failed to notice what was right in front of them. We heard first of Peter rebuking Jesus because he didn't understand his teaching. But I'm more interested in the second story, up on the mountain.
Jesus liked to pray in remote places. This time he took Peter, James, and John along with him to pray up on a mountain (the same people he will take with him to the Garden of Gethsemane). This time the disciples see something amazing: Jesus changes before them, seemingly glowing from within, radiant in prayer. As Jesus spoke in prayer, it seemed as if Moses and Elijah were right beside him, the three of them talking and praying together.
Even decades later Peter would vividly recall what he saw, writing to friends, "We were eyewitnesses of his majesty. He received honor and glory from God when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, 'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.' We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain."
But at the time, when he first saw his friend seemingly transformed, Peter felt terrified. Throughout the Bible, fear was the typical response to a divine manifestation. Peter felt that; and in his fear, Peter came up with a solution. "Let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
People often comment on why Peter made this particular suggestion; but I want to call attention to something else: this moment where Peter tried to turn his discomfort into a solution.
It reminds me of something I often see in difficult conversations. Just at the point of discomfort, people turn to problem solving. Haven't you felt that too? You share something, make yourself vulnerable; and the other person responds with advice, the classic, "Well let me tell you what you should do."
This also happens in conversations about race and racial justice. The other day I went to a book group with Rhonda Hill, our preacher last Sunday. We were talking about white supremacy and a white person in the group rushed for a solution, asking Rhonda, "What can we do?" And Rhonda paused to note in a gracious way the pattern of rushing towards solutions. Instead, she asked the person to slow down, to feel the pain. As Rhonda said, "African-Americans have been dealing with this for four hundred years; just listen to the pain."
Peter used his initiative and action as a mask to cover his fear. But what would have happened if instead Peter noticed his discomfort? Too often, like Peter, discomfort leads us to ramble on when we might instead just listen.
In this case a voice from heaven thundered, "This is my son, my beloved, listen to him." God dramatically entered the story; I'm sure a terrified Peter was even more scared. But notice: God offered no new insights to Peter, James, and John. Instead, God called their attention back to what they had missed. "Listen to him." Presumably, the disciples had been hearing Jesus talk all along; hearing but not listening. Now God redirects them to notice what Jesus said; to listen.
This reminds me of a quote from Oscar Wilde, who once said, "At present, people see fogs, not because there are fogs, but because poets and painters have taught them the mysterious loveliness of such effects. There may have been fogs for centuries in London. I dare say there were. But no one saw them, and so we do not know anything about them. They did not exist till art had invented them." As Wilde said, the fog had to be noticed in order to be seen.
God, like an artist, called the disciples to notice Jesus. That day up on the mountain didn't mark the moment when Jesus became something great; not his transformation into the divine. Instead, the perception of the disciples changed up on the mountain; they noticed what was always true.
Recently, prodded on by my friend Dana, I started taking yoga for the first time. Dana both leads the Human Trafficking Task Force of Greater Milwaukee and serves as associate pastor of a Pentecostal church.
Our yoga teacher designed the class for novices. She will describe the way we will do a yoga flow, moving from one pose to the next, flowing from cobra to downward-facing-dog to warrior; all of which takes me to the edge of my coordination. Sometimes I think the only pose I've mastered is quizzical-dog-face. And while everyone else does a yoga flow, mine looks more like a yoga fumble.
Dana and I were talking between yoga sessions; she described how she experienced the graceful movements of our yoga practice as a form of praise. Sun salutations to Jesus. I confessed to Dana: I'm in the back of the class and while everyone else does the half-moon pose, I'm praying, "Jesus don't let me fall over."
Thankfully our yoga teacher keeps repeating phrases like "notice your body," "stretch to your limit," and "take this pose at your level." The apostle Paul said in Romans that the Holy Spirit prays inside of us with sighs too deep for human words. Noticing my body feels like listening to the Holy Spirit praying. Notice your body. I live in a culture which treats the white male body as the norm, the universal. But I'm the only white man in my yoga class. And far from feeling my body to be universal, I feel my limits.
God entered the story of the Transfiguration to call the disciples to notice; I think noticing is God's movement in our soul. "Notice your body," my yoga teacher reminds me; and it comes as a word of grace: discover your limits, find your strength, remember to breathe, stretch to your limit.
What did the disciples notice about Jesus? His odd language about a suffering and dying Messiah. This ran opposite of their expectations. People in the time of Jesus thought of a Messiah in terms of military strength and victory. Peter gave voice to this when he rebuked Jesus; he expected Jesus to win, not to die; to conquer, not to be crucified; to lead a military parade, not a march to Golgotha.
The Transfiguration story didn't explain the reason for the crucifixion. Indeed, I sometimes even wonder if Jesus understood the reason, as his cry on the cross sounded both dejected and confused.
But it gave the disciples a chance to see Jesus holding together two concepts: suffering and glory, his prediction of rejection with the profound affirmation of heaven's blessing.
Jesus invited the disciples to join in that crux of suffering and glory; "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."
Yet we often misunderstand Jesus, thinking that "taking up a cross" means any kind of suffering. We forgot that the cross and crucifixion represented conflict with the Roman Empire, confrontation with the power of domination and oppression. And so the cross was not some private woe but a vigorous and public pursuit of social justice that resisted the power of domination and deception. We can find the cross in all our work for racial justice.
A sense of glory sustained Jesus in that work. Not glory in the sense of fame. And certainly not glory in the sense of angels playing harps. But glory that came in heaven's assurance, "with you I am well pleased." King spoke of that glory at the end of his Drum Major Instinct Sermon, when he imagined himself saying to Jesus, "Yes, Jesus, I want to be on your right or your left side, not for any selfish reason. I want to be on your right or your left side, not in terms of some political kingdom or ambition. But I just want to be there in love and in justice and in truth and in commitment to others, so that we can make of this old world a new world."
This week we will begin the Season of Lent, a time when we focus in a particular way on what we can do to follow Jesus. This Lent, I hope we each take to heart the call of God to notice; noticing the way God is moving in our hearts and the need for justice in our world.
Alleluia and Amen.
King, Martin Luther, "Drum Major Instinct," widely available online.

DRACUT -- A driver and passenger who were in a Honda CRV that crossed the center line of Route 110 and slammed head-on into another vehicle Saturday evening were both flown to Boston trauma centers by medical helicopters, according to police.
Emergency crews in Dracut were called to Route 110 (Merrimack Avenue) near the Lowell line Saturday at 6:12 p.m.
Dracut police Deputy Chief David Chartrand said a preliminary investigation determined that a 1999 Honda CRV was being driven westbound by a 24-year-old Lawrence man when the Honda crossed the center line and collided head-on with a 2017 Volkswagen Jetta driven eastbound by a 31-year-old Dracut woman.
The driver of the Honda was trapped in the vehicle and had to be freed by Dracut firefighters, before being flown to a Boston trauma center by a MedFlight helicopter, according to Chartrand. A passenger in the Honda, a 23-year-old Lawrence woman, was also flown to a Boston trauma center by a medical helicopter, according to Chartrand.
Chartrand said both of those individuals, whose names were not released, were in stable condition Monday and that their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The driver of the Volkswagen was taken to Lowell General Hospital, where she was treated and released, Chartrand said.
Chartrand said the driver of the Honda was cited for a marked lanes violation, but that the crash remains under investigation by Dracut police and state troopers from the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section.

Implementation Tips: Platforms For Academia
Once you've determined the proper eLearning software for your academic institution, what next?
Fortunately, we've compiled a list of tips for implementing your new program. While some may seem obvious, you may want to heed others that are a bit more unusual. This is all the result of trial, and a good bit of error.
- Make sure you have the budget for it.
We know, budgeting can be a very bad word in academic circles. Funding can be tight going around, for pretty much everyone on any side of the occasion. Budgets are on a shoestring for nearly every department, and requesting more funding is never a fun task.
However, if you're going to implement an eLearning strategy, budgeting is absolutely essential. It is essential that if you begin a program with eLearning software, you have the funding to make certain you can keep funding it, or the entire program is a waste.
- Pick a LOCAL partner for implementation.
Many companies offer support, but only long-distance. If you have questions about the product, and you have to turn to someone for answers, you will be very glad that you chose an implementation partner that was nearby.
One of the biggest benefits to this is not in the maintenance stage, but in the very initial stage. The best thing you can have is someone right next to you while you implement the program at first, making sure that you're doing everything exactly right. If you have this kind of partner at first, you'll find yourself needing a significantly smaller amount of maintenance in the future, which is good in the long run.
Even if a local partner is slightly more expensive, you'll be grateful for it at some point.
- Account for Organizational Changes
There's a law of thermodynamics about this one. Nothing is every truly at rest, and things fall apart. The academia of today is nothing like the academia of ages past in many ways, and you have to be ready for those changes.
Yes, implementing an eLearning platform is one of those changes, and it's a very important step in a good direction.
However, one thing of which you need to be mindful is that the basic need you have for this software could change at any time. You may need to set up your entire software system not just once, but multiple times. Academia changes frequently, and so will your courses, and the courses of others at the same institution. If you're unable to change with those shifts, you'll find yourself with a useless platform.
Fortunately, most platforms are very receptive to change. The only issue is in whether the person implementing the changes truly understands the system. If you do understand the system fully the first time, you'll find making changes a breeze.
- Set your budget aside.
Remember that budget we talked about? Here's the first 25% of it, right off the top.
While most platforms are infinitely customizable, the customization you'll be doing is going to be primarily out of your hands. You'll work with the platform, and with your implementation partner, in order to make it reach your needs. However, this will likely not be cheap. It's very important that whatever budget your institution or organization gives you, you immediately set aside a quarter of it for customization work alone.
- Make sure you have a dedicated support company.
If your platform stops working, do you know how to make it start working again fast?
Probably not, and you shouldn't have to. It's very important that you have a dedicated support company ready to help you out with implementing your eLearning platform. This company can handle technological work especially, since not every teacher is also a technical genius who rebuilds networks in their spare time.
With a dedicated support company, you're also more free to experiment with the program itself, since every support company has at least one guy that's fluent in "I did something and now the thing I liked is gone." This guy can be your best friend.
With these tips, implementing your eLearning platform can be a breeze. Make sure you read them carefully before going out and purchasing an eLearning platform.

I was part of a dozen or so gathered in the second floor TV room of the men's dormitory at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas, that summer of 1969. We watched the slightly fuzzy images of the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander Module in total silence. This was not just an historic occasion in the making; it was also filled with intense danger. Would they crash-land? Would they sink into a heavy moon dust? Could a man really walk around on the moon in a space suit? Would they be able to lift back off the moon, dock with the capsule and return to Earth safely? Would President Kennedy's dream for the decade be fulfilled? Then we heard the words, "The Eagle has landed."
With Neil Armstrong's death this past week our world lost a true hero. In a world of self-promotion and the monetization of fame, Neil Armstrong ignored the temptations and lived true to himself. Interviews and public appearances were rare. He lived humbly and well, embracing his love of physics and teaching. There is a debate about what Neil Armstrong said. He claims he said, "That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind." We all heard it differently. I bet Armstrong's version is true.
The dream of going into outer space and the endless possibilities for people to achieve impossible dreams have been with me since the days of Buck Rogers, Captain Midnight and all things Star Trek. The Bible is filled with the glory of the heavens above, starting on the first page. Apparently since the beginning, people have been enthralled with the night sky and dreaming about what it would be like on the moon or to see a star close up. I am probably not going for a walk on the moon like Neil Armstrong. But that does not prevent me from celebrating the Creator of the universe, imagining a better future, and reaching for impossible goals and dreams. I believe we are created to explore and discover. Today a vehicle named "Curiosity" is exploring the Red Planet. I wonder who will be first to step on Mars.
Keep healthy. Pray mightily. Enjoy your life today. Keep looking up. And let's experience the love and power of God together.

Add this calculator on your website
Add Total Daily Energy Expenditure Calculator to your website and allow your users to use this calculator directly from your website. This widget is 100% free for all users, You can add it on multiple websites.
In order to live a healthy lifestyle and to avoid yourself from getting diseases and illness as well as to stay active one must keep a check on their bodies. Even if you feel perfectly fine, you must get checkups on and off and also keep a check on your weight and TDEE Total Daily Energy Expenditure.
if you keep neglecting yourself then ultimately at the end, you will do nothing other than regret. Maintaining a normal TDEE is extremely important to keep your body weight in control. You should not gain too much and at the same time you should not be underweight. Both can prove to be extremely dangerous.
Maintaining a Normal TDEE value in form of calories is extremely important. If a person is taking too much calories and overweight, it increases the risk of heart diseases, strokes, high blood pressure levels and strokes etc.
If weight TDEE is not maintained, it does not only bring a very bad effect to your health with body Fat but also makes you feel socially uncomfortable and unaccepting in today's society. And even if it does not, it lessens your life span by quite a large percentage. Therefore maintaining a healthy TDEE holds great importance.
It is said and has been proven, that maintaining the amount of weight which falls in a healthy range, keeps you more active and happier. It is also said that you feel much more confident about yourself. And loving yourself and feeling confident about yourself is something that is highly needed in order to become successful in life.
moreover, if you fall in an overweight or underweight range, you must work on it and achieve your goal in order to stay fit. This will prove to beneficial in every way and in no time, you will surely start loving yourself.
In order to carry out your activities and your daily chores, you need energy. Now this is not much complex, as everybody knows that we get the required energy through the food we eat. Basically, the chemical bonds in the food we eat are broken down which account for the provision of energy to our body.
Specifically, look in context of energy and its relation with the amount of calories one consumes or weight, you'll find that both are closely related.
energy is just another term used for ''calories''. A simple way to explain this is that when you consume the calories, you basically increase your energy level, but when you burn your energies, through some exercises, your energy level tends to instantly fall.
however, if the calories are not burnt through the activities such as physical exercises and games, then the result is ''Weight increase''.
it must be kept in focus, that if a person is overweight, he or she tends to be lower on energy and this is because they have no physical activity and due to the diseases they feel lethargic and lazy as well. So for energy too, the balance of weight is extremely essential.
Now you must be confused to know what amount of calories you must consume in order to maintain your weight level and to keep your energy level stable.
Well, the good news for you is that you do not have to worry anymore because with this TDEE calculator, you are able to calculate how much calories are required by your body or how much calorie is the standard requirement of your body. For TDEE calculator, you must provide some details for example, your weight, height, sex and age. This TDEE calculator basically proves to be helpful in finding out the metabolic rate of a person.
Your daily activity level is something on which your calorie intake and energy level are highly dependent. If you are a person who has a very busy routine, then you must need high energy level in order to make it through your day, but if you are not a working person and you have nothing to do or more like not much of a physical activity to carry out, then you surely need to perform some exercises in order to get the perfect health.
another very important factor is the type of exercises you carry out and not only that but how intense they are. Doing the wrong type of exercises can prove to be very dangerous. It is usually suggested to consult a health instructor before engaging yourself in an exercise.
If you want to know your standard energy or calorie intake. Here is how you can do it.
This is the basic outlook of the calculator. You have to fill in the details and these details and why they are needed have been described above. By providing all the details in the bar and then by pressing the 'Calculate TDEE', you can easily get your required value, and as soon as you get it, you must start working on it.
If you have to lose a few pounds in order to reach your ideal weight, just know that there is nothing wrong in doing it. Every good thing comes with effort and the efforts surely pay off right when you start noticing the change in yourself.
The right type of workouts hold extreme importance. Usually people go for workouts that they have zero knowledge about without realizing how dangerous it can prove to be for their bodies. There are workout videos available everywhere and they are for different body types and purposes, however, people with no awareness about their needed calorie and energy intake, carry out intense workouts that are way too intense for there bodies and sometimes, people carry out extremely light exercises meanwhile, their bodies need much more effort. For this reason, determining the right type of workout that your body needs is extremely important. And it is highly suggested that you should not carry out any activity without proper assistance or without calculating your Calorie intake rate, which, you can easily do with the help of this very simple calculator.

The Disabled Dentist and Disability Insurance:
An Introduction to Legal and Claim Assessment Issues
George Thompson, Esq.
Dentists frequently purchase Individual Disability Insurance ("IDI") with the understanding that if they cannot perform their occupation as a dentist, or a specialized form of dentistry such as pediatric dentistry, they will receive a total disability benefit from the IDI policy. Although many insurance carriers sell disability insurance, the definitions utilized for the phrases "total disability" and "your occupation" are fairly similar. For instance, it is not unusual to see the phrase "total disability" defined as "The inability to perform the material and substantial duties of one's occupation" and the phrase "your occupation" defined as "the occupation you are engaged in at the time of disability". Not all states and courts, however, rigidly limit their analysis of the particular words in those phrases. For example, a Federal Court Judge in Massachusetts concluded that when assessing total disability for a healthcare practitioner, the insurer must give credence to the individual's ability to perform their occupation in a "usual and customary manner with reasonable continuity"...language which did not appear at all in the insurance policy. Many disability insurance policies also contain a provision allowing for a reduced disability benefit if a Dentist is partially or residually disabled. The purpose of this article is to illustrate a fairly common individual disability claim submitted by a dentist and its associated issues.
- Dr. Shapiro
Dr. Shapiro became a licensed dentist in 1981 and in 1988 opened his own practice and quickly purchased three other practices in different offices. As both a dentist and owner of the multi office practice, Dr. Shapiro performed dentistry and engaged in some management hiring staff, hygienists and other dentists which totaled 12 individuals. He also employed an office manager. Some of the individuals retained by Dr. Shapiro were actually employees of a medical services company of which Dr. Shapiro was a part owner with his brother in law. Dr. Shapiro typically treated patients between 35-50 hours a week and performed his administrative and managerial functions between 1-4 hours a week. In 1996, Dr. Shapiro stopped practicing dentistry because of progressive osteoarthritis and spondylosis. After he stopped performing dentistry, Dr. Shapiro would visit his offices 2-3 times a week remaining less than 5 hours. When he submitted his claim for total disability benefits, the claim was eventually denied by the insurer which concluded that at worst Dr. Shapiro was partially disabled because he continued to exercise some management responsibility over his multiple clinics. In short, the insurer concluded that Dr. Shapiro's occupation was administrator, manger and dentist. Dr. Shapiro sued the insurer for breach of contract.
The ultimate issue for the trial court to decide was whether dentistry, understood to be the hands on treatment of patients, was the occupation that Dr. Shapiro was engaged in at the time of his disability or was he also a clinic practice manager as well? The trial court judge concluded that Dr. Shapiro's occupation was that of a dentist who regularly engaged in the treatment of his patients and the fact that the dental practice continued to function and he continued to act as owner and administrator after he gave up treating patients did alter the result. The judge found it significant that Dr. Shapiro consistently saw approximately 7-9 patients a day, spent 95% of his work week treating patients and consistently performed an average of 275 procedures a month, up to the day he had to stop seeing patients.
The insurance company appealed. The appeals court affirmed the victory for Dr. Shapiro characterizing his chair dentistry work as "material and substantial" and his administrative works as "incidental". The appeals court further stated that: "At some point, a medical entrepreneur's administrative and managerial responsibilities may well become material and substantial duties of the insured's occupation....Paul Shapiro was a dentist....Because his disability prevents him from performing the material and substantial duties of that occupation, he is entitled to total disability benefits...."
- What Can Be Learned From The Shapiro Case?
As illustrated above, disabled Dentist insurance claims and lawsuits will turn on an intensive examination and analysis of the facts surrounding the claim, the particular words, phrases and language in the insurance policy purchased and the law applied by the Court hearing any dispute between the Dentist and his disability insurance carrier. In regards to the factual analysis, regrettably for the owners of disability insurance policies, there is no single clear bright line test that applies to all professional health care providers in all situations who believe they are disabled. As was the case with Dr. Shapiro, the ability of the Dentist claiming disability to portray a detailed factual snapshot of his practice prior to his stopping patient treatment is critical. Items such as insurance code billing records, appointment books, how one describes his or her dentist practice in a malpractice application will be of critical importance and likely requested by the disability insurance company claim examiner. Similarly, statements from fellow employees and staff as to who did what and for how long are extremely relevant. The more facts a Dentist can marshal to demonstrate that the core function of his work was "hand on" chair dentistry, the greater the likelihood there will be of a total disability claim being paid if the individual can o longer treat patients.
The significance of the facts about the dental practice setting will be shaped by the particular language utilized in the disability insurance policy. For example, does the policy use the word "substantial" or "significant" in qualifying the phrase "important duties?" Is the phrase "your occupation" defined singularly or in the plural as "your occupation or occupation(s)?" Although not common place, there have also been cases where the actual language used in a particular disability insurance policy was not compliant with the specific insurance language regulations of a particular state. Similarly, a dentist submitting a disability claim should strive to discover whether the courts of the state he lives in have, in effect, interpreted the policy language from a practical or functional perspective. In other words, instead of applying a rigid contractual analysis that could lead to an absurd result, is there law in that particular state that imports a rule of reason into the application of the policy language?
Finally, although not stated in Dr. Shapiro's disability policy, the vast majority of states, including Massachusetts, have a body of case law and statutes that impose a duty of good faith on insurance companies to act reasonably, to first look for a basis to pay the claim, and to timely and responsibly communicate with the claimant.

Najat M'jid – Morocco
Linked with the BAYTI Association, and with Interview de Madame Najat M'jid.
She is one of the 1000 women proposed for the Nobel Peace Price 2005.
She says: "I made many personal sacrifices to achieve my life-long goal: the protection of children's rights. I live in a rented flat and use my old car in order to pay the tuition fees of my daughters".
She says also: "First of all, I love children. On returning to Morocco after my studies in France, I was walking one day through the streets of Casablanca and I saw a kid who seemed to have spent several days on the streets. I asked him what he was doing there, and was shocked when he replied that he lived on the streets. I did not think that went on in Morocco. A lot of anger welled up inside me and I realised the situation needed to be put right". (full interview text).
Najat M'jid – Morocco
She works for the Mother and Child Clinic, and for the BAYTI Association.
Najat M'jid is the drive force of the advocacy for children's rights in Morocco over the last sixteen years. She has lobbied for and participated in effectuating new legislative reforms in the country, denouncing violations of Children's Rights and raising awareness of children's severe vulnerability.
Dr. M'jid has assumed her grassroots work through a number of foundations concerned with children's welfare, at both national and international levels. She is a consultant for the UNICEF and the State Secretariat for Childhood, NGOs, and is the regional focal point for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), analyzing and evaluating issues regarding children sexual abuse, health, education, poverty and family rejection.
In 2000 Dr. M'jid was awarded a national prize for her work on Human Rights and was nominated for the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur (Knight of the Legion of Honor) in France. Najat has worked hard towards the adoption of national rehabilitative plans for vulnerable children and for the establishment of state-run agencies to deal with children's problems.
Her lobby has effectively assisted in improving the living conditions of minors in detention and saving street children from sexual exploitation, about which she has vocalized her concerns in the MENA region.
She has made strides forward on the creation of a network of Arab NGOs working for childhood welfare. She has also participated in a number of international conferences on the rights of children and connected issues in Stockholm, Yokohama and New York (the International Summit), with the sponsorship of the World Bank and European Union. The rehabilitative plans that M'jid has set up have been adopted in Tunisia, France, Cambodia, Spain, Jordan, Yemen, Senegal and Mali.
She was inspired to found the 'BAYTI' (my home), a charitable rehabilitative institution for children, which recruits social workers and the implements new operative programs with effective methodology and indicators. These include 'research-action' and psychosocial analysis techniques for approaching street children. M'jid has also launched some individualized living projects for rehabilitated young people to involve them into socio-economic activities and to develop a smooth partnership between them and the State, NGOs, INGOs, private sector, and local authorities.
M'jid is the first person in Morocco to have ever openly probed debate on street children and the sexual exploitation of children, which were always regarded as major bottom-up taboo issues in the country. However, underground issues of democracy are woven into the fabric of her programs and discourse, insinuating active participation of children, youth and educators with full transparency. Dr. M'jid is full of potential to advocate for human rights, particularly with respect to children. She remains humble, direct and amenable, despite the many awards she has received (Prix Nathalie Masse; Prix Européen de Pédiatrie; Sociale Droits de l'Homme, France; Chevalière de la Légion d'Honneur).

Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba has moved on his predecessor Pravin Gordhan's people and removed three senior staffers at National Treasury from their positions.
Schalk Human, the respected acting chief procurement officer, has according to sources in Pretoria been "kicked out" of his corner office overlooking the Union Buildings and been replaced by Wilile Mathebula. Lindy Bodewig has been replaced as acting head of the controversial integrated financial management system (IFMS) project while the experienced Jayce Nair has been booted out as acting accountant-general.
Some of these officials are perceived as a threat to the new ministry, including by Gigaba's many advisers
Although Human is replaced by Mathebula, part of the policy unit at the office of the chief procurement officer, the move is being interpreted by staffers at Treasury's Madiba Street Building as part of an offensive to shift aside officials who have served under Gordhan and former ministers Nhlanhla Nene and Trevor Manuel. Some of these officials are perceived as a threat to the new ministry, including by Gigaba's many advisers, who have moved into the ministry's building at 40 Church Square.
Mayihlome Tshwete, Gigaba's spokesperson, has denied that anything sinister must be read into the moves and that the minister had no hand in it.
DA MP, David Maynier, told HuffPost SA: "It's a shocking decision and in the end the fact is that ultimately the Minister of Finance, Malusai Gigaba, is responsible for kicking out the acting Chief Procurement Officer, Schalk Human, who was one of the key soldiers in the battle against state capture at National Treasury."
Read: Malusi Gigaba Zooms In On Treasury's Nerve Centre
Business Day's Carol Paton earlier this week reported that the relationship between the ministry and the bureaucracy at Treasury "is in tatters" and that even the prospect of a tax revenue shortfall of R50 billion in the next financial year has not galvanised Gigaba to revert to senior managers for advice.
Mhlakaza is described by insiders with knowledge of Treasury's inner-workings as 'a director and much too junior to handle a project as big as that'.
According to an internal memorandum signed by Director-General Dondo Mogajane, Nair is replaced by Zanele Mxunyelwa and Bodewig by Phila Mhlakaza, who is described by insiders with knowledge of Treasury's inner-workings as "a director and much too junior to handle a project as big as that".
The issues around the IFMS is being portrayed as evidence of widespread mismanagement and maladministration at Treasury. Gigaba earlier this week told Parliament's standing committee on public accounts (Scopa) that he takes "full responsibility" for the programme and that he will "ensure" problems are addressed. On Friday Cabinet said it welcomes Treasury's investigation into the IFMS and added those responsible for "deliberate wrongdoing" should be held accountable. The IFMS was an effort by Treasury, the department of public service and administration and the State Information and Technology Agency to integrate financial management systems. It has still not come off the ground and has cost the government millions of rands.
Human has been deeply involved in efforts by Treasury to curb state-owned enterprises' profligacy.
Officials with direct knowledge of the IFMS say there has never been any question of corruption and maladministration in the IFMS project and that fruitless and wasteful expenditure in the project, which dates to 2002, is not "out of the norm". "They really went after Lindy. Gigaba wants to be seen as 'Mr Clean'. She is the scapegoat," said one.
Read: Treasury Officials Fear What The Economic Future Holds Under Gigaba
Human has been deeply involved in efforts by Treasury to curb state-owned enterprises' profligacy and has initiated regular contact sessions between Treasury and SOE's like the South African Airways and Eskom. He has acted in the position since the departure of Kenneth Brown in December 2016. The position was advertised earlier this year but the process of filling the vacancy was put on hold in May. There is no indication when a permanent appointment will be made.
Tshwete denies that Gigaba was involved. "It is the prerogative of the director-general to make decisions like this. It is a lie that is is a move on Pravin's people. Mogajane was his chief of staff, if Gigaba want to 'make a move' why not do anything to him? Nobody has been suspended. It's the new director-general's decision."
** This story has been updated to reflect comments by the minister's spokesperson.
Dear colleagues
Please note that the following acting appointments have been made as of the 01st September 2017.
· Mr Willie Mathebula – Acting Chief Procurement Officer
· Ms Zanele Mxunyelwa – Acting Accountant-General
· Mr Phila Mhlakaza – Acting Chief Director: IFMS
Congratulations to all these officials and I wish them well in meeting the objectives of the positions.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Jayce Nair, Mr Schalk Human and Ms Lindy Bodewig for their unwavering commitment to these positions during their acting periods and I look forward to working with them in their appointed positions which they will revert to from tomorrow.
I trust that all National Treasury will support the new incumbents in their positions and ensure that we can continue to strive to make a better South Africa for all.
Kind regards
Dondo Mogajane

Paris - A new extrasolar system planet can be added to a handful of fellow exoplanets which could theoretically support life, the European Southern Observatory said on Wednesday. NASA explains that while Ross 128 b and Proxima b are in the habitable zone and seem similar to Earth, Venus and Mars would feature numerous same qualities from 11 light years away.
A newly discovered star, known as Ross 128 b, has been held up as our most likely neighbour that could support life. Close inspection reveals that Ross 128 has a unusual multiple appearance as this image was created from photographs taken over a more than forty year period by the Digitized Sky Survey 2, and the star, which is only 11 light-years from Earth, moved across the sky significantly during this time.
The habitable zone of a red dwarf - the narrow temperature belts where surface water can persist without freezing or boiling away - is usually quite close to the star.
Scientists find a planet of the same size as Earth, which also has the same surface temperature and is deemed possible to be made a place to live, according to a new study. It also orbits around its host star (a red-dwarf) every 9.9 days. "Even better, the planet may orbit in the inner edge of its red star's habitable zone, where there could be water".
An artist's impression shows Ross 128 b, an exoplanet scientists discovered that they say is similar to Earth and only 11 light years away. "Ross 128 is one of the quietest stars of our sample and, although it is a little further away from us (2.6x), it makes for an excellent alternative target". If we have, it'll not only offer the potential to see what another planet like our own looks like - but potentially to meet the aliens that live there, or to move there ourselves. Unlike most exoplanet discoveries, Ross 128 b was not detected during a transit when the planet moves in front of the host star from our perspective, allowing astronomers to detect the reduction in light from the star.
Red dwarfs are some of the coolest, faintest - and most common - stars in the Universe. The system is moving toward Earth, and in just 79,000 years, it will be the closest exoplanet to our solar system.More news: Sierra Nevada Dream Chaser Conducts Critical Flight Test

More news: China's e-commerce giants set a new record for Single's Day
Because the planet is so low-mass, the researchers are pretty sure that it's rocky like Earth. Méndez's team wasn't looking for extraterrestrial signals; they were hoping to learn how red dwarf flares interacted with exoplanets.
Their next step is to analyze the planet's atmosphere for signs of oxygen and other biomarkers that might indicate the presence of or conditions for life.
There's still uncertainty about whether Ross 128 b is within the habitable zone, but scientists say that with temperatures of between -60 and +20°C, it can be considered temperate.
Earlier this year, scientists said that they had received odd pulses coming from the star.
They include the ESO's 39-metre Extremely Large Telescope under construction in Chile which is due to begin operating in 2024.
Maybe. This is the plucky star's second time in the spotlight this year.

RGV had a point to prove after the debacle of Aag..... and he took no chances. Sarkar Raj is easily one of the best movies of 2008 so far. A tight and terse film, with no fluff and flounce, the movie manages to engage throughout. Abhishek has given one of his best performances till date and Aishwarya portrays her character with ease. However, it is the glimpse of Amitabh in his prowess of the yesteryears that completes the film. The story tackles the age old debate of rehabilitation : technical progress Vs the humanitarian cause of rehabilitation, exceedingly well and realistically. ...By Paromeeta» Read full review

Q. Does the term Sarkar convey anything to you? A. Yes, for me people who are elder to us or those whom we give our respect are referred to as Sarkar and this is as per Indian tradition. Also people in whom the power to run the country is vested are also referred to as Sarkar. Q. Ok, you believe in what sort of government or Sarkar? A. I believe this that if any person has affected my life in some way or the other or has really left a lasting impression on me then I consider him or her as Sarkar.

Stellera chamaejasme Roots as Raw Material for Pulp Production
Cellulosic pulps were prepared from Stellera chamaejasme roots using soda, soda-anthraquinone (soda-AQ), and kraft pulping processes. S. chamaejasme is composed of 73.5% holocellulose, 39.7% α-cellulose, and 17.6% lignin, similar to wheat straw and other non-wood plant materials. The ethanol–benzene extractives content of 9.2% is higher than other non-woods. The conditions used for all pulping experiments were as follows: a liquid/solid ratio of 5:1; a time-to-maximum temperature of 100 min; a maximum temperature of 160 °C; and a time-at-maximum temperature of 50 min. The results showed that the pulp yield was 31.27 to 36.83%, the kappa number was 16.32 to 19.42, and the pulps' intrinsic viscosity was 854 to 976 mL/g. Tear index, tensile index, burst index, and brightness of the papers made from the above unbleached pulps were 12.60 to 13.62 mN•m2/g, 20.57 to 22.56 mN/g, 2.16 to 2.38 kPa•m2/g, and 15.3 to 18.3%, respectively.

Items in backorder will be ship at no charge when available, Philregalo.com has the right to deliver a very similar item of bigger value to the recipient in case the ordered product is discontinued or not available.
Unexpected shortages and manufacturer's out-of-stock conditions occur due to raw material shortages, unexpected inventory demands, bad weather, etc. Unfortunately, PhilRegalo.com cannot predict when such problems will occur, and we apologize for any inconvenience you may encounter.

If the items ordered is already in Philregalo's possession when the order has been made then no additional charge will be made to the sender's account, but in cases where the order has been made in advance of a special event such as Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day or Mother's Day and the items ordered increase in price prior to the delivery date, the price difference/increase will be charged to sender's account.

Giant Stuffed Toy
Demands to send Giant Stuffed Toys (30 inches and more) has reached our offices in both the USA and the PH and so we love to accomodate such big deliveries, but because of the size of the Giant Stuffed toys, shipping cost is very high ($50 above) and so we have partnered with JRS Express to make shipping affordable. Delivery is door to door but for areas that belongs to the ODA (JRS list), PhilRegalo will inform your recipient on where and when the gift can be picked up and a tracking number will be provided plus the address of the nearest JRS office in their area. You (sender) can still choose other couriers (FEDEX, LBC, DHL) but cost of shipping ($50 plus) will be charged to your account. Just include in the comments box upon checkout that this is the option you want and that it's ok to rebill your account.
Cakes and Food Items Delivery
For cakes (icing cakes, fondant cakes and ice cream cakes)and other sweet pastries, in cases of non-availability, Philregalo.com will substitute the item with an item that is of equal or greater value. We will either inform the sender or the recipient, but Philregalo is not obliged to do so depending on the circumstances. Take note that substitute will depend on the item that is available on the day of delivery.
PhilRegalo.com has both offices in Murrieta, California (just a couple of hours to San Diego and Los Angeles) and in Manila, Philippines. We also coordinate with our Philippine merchants regularly to give you, our clients new product updates on a regular basis.
Shipping rates depend on destination, and amount of your order. The best way to determine the cost of shipping is to place the items you wish to purchase into your cart and start the checkout process. Before you finalize your order you will be presented with the shipping options and charges for your order.
All orders are processed in our access controlled warehouse by our highly trained staff to insure that your products arrive to your doorstep as quickly as possible. We take the utmost care to insure that all products are properly wrapped and sealed to prevent leakage or breakage. Our Quality Control Department is very strict in making sure that the products / items you ordered passed our "Seal of Quality" before it goes out of our warehouse.
