Semester in DC: Alumni Spotlight - Cara Baldari
Cara Baldari completed her J.D. in 2011 after dedicating her law school career to working in the areas of housing and the homeless. Her spring 2011 Semester in D.C. externship was spent with the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty ("The Law Center"), a small non-profit advocacy group. After working for a year at Neighborhood Legal Services, Cara had experience and an interesting perspective to bring to her legal and policy assignments at the Law Center. Cara researched and wrote legal memoranda, material fact sheets, letters of support, and papers to maintain funding for national housing programs and the educational rights of homeless children under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. As the first Pitt Law intern to work with the Law Center, she has paved the way for other Pitt Law externs, not only with the Law Center, but also with other reputable non-profits in the D.C. area.
Cara always knew that she did not want to do traditional legal work, and to that end, she focused her sights on Washington, D.C., where she knew she would be surrounded by a lot of young, motivated, passionate people who are practicing law in a non-traditional way. Learning what others were doing and conducting informational interviews during her semester in Washington gave her the necessary insight on a vast array of positions that were available at different organizations in D.C., and ultimately led her to her current career.
Like many Semester in D.C. alumni, Cara landed her first post-graduate job due in part to her participation in the Program. When she saw a posting on Idealist.com for a position she was interested in, she applied and then asked her boss at the Law Center about his experience with the organization. He knew the president and reached out on her behalf. "Getting a direct recommendation from someone they knew, coupled with over four months of full-time advocacy experience in the D.C. market, directly benefitted me in the interview process," says Cara.
Cara now works as a Policy Research Associate for First Focus, a national bipartisan children's advocacy organization. There, she works to form national policy on children's healthcare, , child welfare policy, child nutrition, family homelessness, and poverty.

Health & Pregnancy
Plastics Chemicals Tied to Reproductive Woes
By Dennis Thompson
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Oct. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Two plastics chemicals -- bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates -- may reduce the reproductive ability of both men and women, according to a new pair of small, early studies.
Women with high levels of BPA in their blood have an 80 percent increased risk of miscarriage when compared to women with little or no BPA, reported study co-author Dr. Ruth Lathi.
"BPA at time of conception was significantly higher in those who miscarried compared to those who had a live birth," said Lathi, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Stanford University Medical Center, in Palo Alto, Calif.
Meanwhile, couples can experience a 20 percent reduction in their reproductive capability if the male partner has high phthalate concentrations, according to a study funded by the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Both studies were scheduled for presentation this week at the joint meeting of the International Federation of Fertility Societies and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, held in Boston.
The pair of studies should add to growing concerns over the effect of environmental chemicals on reproduction, birth outcomes and early childhood development, said Dr. Linda Giudice, president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
"It's important we don't scare people," Giudice said. "The aim is to inform people to minimize risk and maximize health."
However, a representative from the trade group American Chemistry Council (ACC) disputed the associations claimed by the researchers.
"These studies both appear to be small-scale studies that cannot establish any cause-and-effect relationship," said ACC spokeswoman Kathryn Murray St. John. "They are based on single samples to monitor exposure and so it is difficult to draw any meaningful conclusions."
BPA and phthalates are chemicals used in the production of plastics. Phthalates are no longer used to make baby products such as teething rings and pacifiers, and BPA has been banned for use in sippy cups, baby bottles and infant formula packaging.
Some doctors are concerned that the chemicals disrupt the function of hormones in the human body and could have harmful effects on unborn children.
The widespread exposure to these chemicals has further increased concern. For example, nearly all Americans have detectible levels of BPA in their urine, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The first study involved 114 women recruited during early pregnancy testing. Researchers took blood samples, then compared BPA levels in their blood to the outcome of their pregnancies.
BPA levels were higher among women who miscarried, Lathi said. Researchers could not say exactly why, however.
"Until further studies are performed, women with unexplained miscarriages may avoid BPA to reduce one potential risk factor," she said.

After 9 years of Bridezillas, I figured I had seen it all. Who could forget Candice's church-steps brawl, Megan's boozy, epic breakdown, or Vanessa, who treated her future in-laws like lepers. These were the most overly dramatic and insane brides in the history of marriage -- or so I thought. Turns out WE tv has been saving the best for last. In the 10th and final season of Bridezillas, you will meet the scariest women of all time. Check out The Stir's exclusive sneak peak of the madness:
They swear like sailors, yell at mothers, destroy reception buffets, get into brawl with bridesmaids, and much, much more. It's too crazy to miss. Take a look.
Amazing grown women would act like this, right? Especially on what is supposed to be the happiest day of their lives. It's sheer madness and we love every minute!
Were you a bridezilla? What's the most outrageous thing you've seen a bride do?
The most outrageous thing I've seen a GROOM do is marry any of these crazy bitches.
The first time I was going to be a bridesmaid, the bride insisted we all wear our makeup the exact same way. The problem was, one of the other bridesmaids had light skin and had bright red hair so green eye shadow would not look good on her at all. Another one couldn't wear the brand the bride picked out; it was Mary Kay and she broke out in a bad rash. The bride accused her of lying so she wouldn't have to buy the makeup. So glad I dropped out of the wedding.
I agree with Venae! I have only watched a few episodes of the show and those were ENOUGH! They all act like spoiled, entitled brats.

An Atlanta area minister was sentenced to ten years in prison by a Clayton County judge on Friday.
Craig Davis had denied everything: the sex outside his marriage and even his positive HIV status -- until now.
However, this week, a Clayton County jury convicted him on two counts of Reckless HIV, which is a felony. In his sentence hearing, one of the church women who says she had sex with Davis told the judge that she's "the one serving a life sentence."
In the hearing, the prosecutor painted Davis as "unrepentant" and when it comes to unprotected sex, unstoppable. But the hearing took a turn right before the sentence was handed down -- Davis took the stand in a last minute plea for mercy.
The pastor confessed that he was HIV and that he had engaged in unprotected sex without telling the women of his status. He also confessed that he believed his actions were "wrong."
Davis was sentenced to ten years in prison and ten years on probation. If he commits another crime or contacts the victims, authorities were append an addition ten years to his sentence.

Britt Peterson: "Unity08′s founders, old media hands Gerald Rafshoon and Doug Bailey, have just left to work on drafting Bloomberg, taking most of the credibility and experience Unity08 ever had with them and leaving celebrity promoter Sam Waterston to his own devices. Will he form a joint L&O ticket with Thompson?" Sounds good to me.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- More than a week after 19-year-old Jack Culolias disappeared, his mother Grace Culolias packed up his dorm room at ASU this weekend.
"It is something a parent should never have to do," she said. "I picked up all of his clothes and his TV. We put it in a van, and we're going home."
However, Grace Culolias, who lives in California, said she will do everything she can to keep the investigation moving forward. She told 3TV she's seeking an attorney and plans on hiring a private investigator, as Tempe Police continue to work the case.
"Please, I beg of you; please continue to help me find my son," she pleaded. "It is very surprising that a 19-year-old boy could go to a frat party at Cadillac Ranch and vanish without anyone coming forward and saying what happened."
Jack Culolias, a freshman at ASU, was last seen the night of Friday, Nov. 30th. Police said he was escorted out of Cadillac Ranch at Tempe Marketplace, while at a Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity event.
However, frat brothers and friends of Jack say they did not see him leave.
"There has been no sign of foul play, so as I said, how is it possible that a 19-year-old boy, 6 feet tall can just vanish?" asked Grace Culolias. "It's so hard to understand, even comprehend."
Over the weekend, Jack's friends returned to the area where teams of detectives searched since Tuesday, following the discovery of Jack's shoe by Salt River.
As of Friday night, police called off the search in the area, for the time being, but a volunteer who said she has 17 years of search and rescue experience, returned to the scene Saturday and Sunday.
"You gotta keep your eyes open; you gotta keep looking," said Dayna Miller.
Miller, along with her search dog, and a team of Jack's friends, combed for clues along the water's edge.
"Somebody may have missed something," Miller said. "I mean there's so much terrain out here, and so much brush. This is pretty rough down here."
Friends of Jack Culolias said they will do everything they can to keep their efforts going strong in Arizona, as Jack's family does the same from Orange County.
"You can't just walk away," said Grace Culolias. "How do you walk away? How does a mom walk away?"

A senior football tight end for Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore., Priester recently earned 2013 second-team Academic All-America accolades, becoming the Linfield Wildcats' first honoree since 2005.
Priester, a 2010 graduate of Patterson High School, carries a 4.0 grade point average in biology and plans a career as an orthopedic surgeon, according to a release filed by Linfield College.
A starter in all 11 games this season for the Wildcats, Priester hauled in five catches and scored one touchdown during the team's 2013 Northwest Conference championship season.
A former Patterson High football standout, Priester was a Scholar-Athlete award recipient and a Patterson valedictorian, maintaining an overall 4.6 GPA.
In 2009, Priester was named to the Western Athletic Conference's first team as an offensive lineman. In his senior season, he was selected to the WAC's first team as a defensive end and to the league's second team as a tight end. He was named the conference's top defensive lineman and also earned an honorable mention as a defensive end on the all-district team.
Jacob is the son of Gwen and Randall Priester.

Generally movie makers release a short episode of their upcoming movies for advertisement purpose. These short film or episodes are known as movie or film trailers. These movie trailers or previews are always advertised by the producers and distributors at cinema theatres and multiplexes during the start of the already running film or during interval.
In earlier times movie trailers were shown at the end of the film in cinema theatres and for that these short advertisements are known as movie trailers. But this trend did not last for long as audience almost left as the movies finished. So now these movie trailers are usually shown at the beginning of a movie. This way audience gets attracted by the movie before its release by watching its trailer.
Producers also advertise their upcoming movies on television as well as through internet. The best place to watch movie trailers online is filmtrailer.com.
Trailers ordinarily consist of a series of selected shots or environs from the flick to be released to the general public for viewing. Since the purpose is to attract the audience, experts choose most exciting, funny, or noteworthy parts of the flick but it is often in the abbreviated form because trailer may last from less than two and half minutes as required. Trailers tell the story of a movie in a highly condensed, maximally appealing fashion. Sometimes there are more than one versions of the trailer.
You will be surprised that there are companies that specialize in making movie trailers especially known as Peliculas in Spanish for the movie studios. Sometimes movie trailers are made especially for the promotion purpose and the scenes shot for the trailer may not be found in the original movie.

You cannot "caramelize" scallops or any animal product. You can only caramelize foods that contain simple sugars. You "brown" meats or seafoods (it's actually the Maillard reaction). Many chefs on TV get this terminology wrong, also. This recipe should be "Browned" or "Seared" Scallops. You cannot "caramelize" meats! http://voices.yahoo.com/hey-michael-symon-cant-caramelize-10148691.html

A Clark County deputy's lawsuit against Burger King over a spit-covered hamburger will go forward.
The Washington Supreme Court ruled in favor of Edward Bylsma Thursday.
Early one morning in March 2009, Bylsma said he went to a Burger King restaurant on Northeast Gher Road in Vancouver and ordered a Whopper. He described in the initial lawsuit getting an uneasy feeling about two of the employees.
He said he checked his hamburger and found it had been spit on. DNA testing matched the saliva to one of the employees, Gary Herb, who was eventually found guilty of third-degree assault and ordered to be tested for hepatitis and other communicable diseases.
The worker who served the burger was not charged with a crime.
Burger King Corp. and Kaizen Restaurants in Beaverton, which operates the restaurant in question, said at the time they have "zero tolerance" for the actions taken by the former employees.
The workers in question were ultimately fired over the incident.
Bylsma filed a lawsuit citing emotional distress against Burger King and Kaizen Restaurants. In court documents, he said he suffers from ongoing emotional distress that includes vomiting, nausea, food aversion and sleeplessness.
The U.S. District Court in Portland threw the case out, but Bylsma appealed and Washington's high court ruled in his favor.
The justices voted 6-3 on the issue.
The conclusion states a person can claim "relief for emotional distress damages, in the absence of physical injury, caused to the direct purchaser by being served and touching, but not consuming, a contaminated food product."

Midday movers: IBM, Chesapeake, Halliburton
Disappointment with the reports of 2 blue-chip technology companies weighs on the market.
IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC) and Yahoo (YHOO) all reported earnings after the close Tuesday that beat consensus expectations, but only Yahoo shares rallied following the announcements.
The declines in IBM, which saw its revenues miss expectations and its shares fall 2.5%, and Intel, down 2% after its gross margins were worse than last quarter, weighed heavily on the Dow.
In contrast, Yahoo gained 3% as its revenue grew for the first time since the third quarter of 2008, as noted by Piper Jaffray.
Among other companies reporting earnings, advancers Wednesday included Halliburton (HAL), Seagate (STX) and United Rentals (URI); decliners included Textron (TXT), Cree (CREE) and Amphenol (APH).
Among the notable gainers in the markets Wednesday were Catalyst Health Solutions (CHSI), up 31%, and SXC Health Solutions (SXCI), up 7.5%, as both stocks benefited from plans to merge the companies in a cash and stock transaction that implies a purchase price of $81.02 per Catalyst share. Also higher were shares of THQ Inc. (THQI), up 36%, after the company raised its expectations for the fourth quarter on strong sales of its "Saints Row" game.
Noteworthy losers included Genworth (GNW), down 21%, after announcing it would delay the IPO of its Australian mortgage insurance business until early 2013, and Chesapeake Energy (CHK), down 10%, after Reuters reported that its CEO took out as much as $1.1 billion in unreported loans over the last three years, which could raise the possibility of conflicts of interest. Also lower were shares of Illumina (ILMN), down 2.5%, after Roche (RHHBY) decided not to extend its $51 cash tender offer for the company.

Product Description
Are you ready for something truly different this season? DeMarini has it, and it's going to revolutionize the way you look at wood bats. The Pro Maple Wood Composite BBCOR bat takes the solid construction, balanced weighting, and great pop of DeMarini's beloved wood bats and adds to it a carbon composite handle to create a phenomenal feeling swing! The barrel of the S243 is made from pro-grade maple wood. Maple is favored by many players due to its hardness, strength, and durability. The barrel features a 243 turn that is one of the more popular designs on MLB fields today. The handle of the S243 is where things get innovative though. Made from carbon composite (not composite wood), this new and improved handle design improves durability and helps the S243 to have a lighter swing weight. The resulting two-piece hybrid design gives players a wood like feel for higher performance, with added strength and a lighter feel. Don't settle for the ordinary. Get a DeMarini S243 today! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The S243 is BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Winter elections to appoint the first police commissioners in England and Wales will be a "complete shambles", campaigners warn.
Fewer than one in five voters are expected to turn out for the November 15 ballot, according to the Electoral Reform Society.
It warned the possibility of just 18.5% of eligible adults taking part could give an unfair advantage to extremist candidates who would otherwise have little chance of success.
Katie Ghose, Electoral Reform Society chief executive, said: "This election is beginning to look like a perfect storm, which could result in the lowest turnout for a national election in British history.
"Those pulling the strings have not done their homework and as a result this election looks primed to degenerate into a complete shambles. Put simply, if the people elected to localise decision-making over how our streets are policed, do not represent local people, what is the point of having them?"
Baroness Angela Smith, shadow home office minister, said: "We warned Theresa May time and again that spending over £100 million on these elections at a time when she has already cut 10,000 police officers from the streets makes little sense and should not be the priority.
"We also warned against holding these elections in November, risking an extremely low turnout. Now we hear it may be historically low.
"The Home Office and Theresa May are once more in a mess of their own making. Understandably they are embarrassed, but they need to get a grip and make the best of a bad job. That's what we are trying to do across the country as we campaign against the Government's huge cuts to frontline police."
A Home Office spokesman said: "Police and crime commissioners will, unlike invisible and unelected police authorities, give local communities a say over policing priorities in their areas and work with the police to cut crime."

3 Stocks Billionaire Ken Griffin Is Bullish On
Madhukar is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Citadel Investment Group is a hedge fund managed by billionaire Ken Griffin. This hedge fund deploys capital in multiple investments, from equity, to commodities, to real estate. The company filed its 13F with the SEC in March 2013, naming 7,146 companies in its portfolio, listed in various exchanges. The total market cap of its investments stood at $66.27 billion as of March 31, 2013.
Citadel's top 10 holdings constitute 4.83% of the total portfolio. Now, Ken Griffin is a serious investor, so lets discuss his top 3 holdings. Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), American Tower (NYSE: AMT), and Invesco (NYSE: IVZ) may operate in different markets, but they all have sound strategies to accelerate growth.
Domestic growth opportunities ahead
American Tower's rental segment accounted for 97% of the company's revenue, with growth of 13.7% in first quarter of this year. Due to heavy deployment of 4G networks by telecommunications companies, the company has an opportunity to increase its tower revenue in the U.S. 4G networks require voice-over-LTE, or VoLTE, for which additional equipment needs to be installed on towers. VoLTE is a wireless technology that provides long battery life, more speedy data transmissions, and better video calls.
This new technology will raise demand of the company's leasing tower sites. Total towers are expected to rise in the U.S. market from 22,534 in 2012 to 22,749 by the end of current year. The company is expecting to generate rental income of $2.105 billion this year.
American Tower's conversion into a real estate investment trust, or REIT, will be highly beneficial to investors. After the merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, American Tower REIT, the company will distribute 90% of its earnings as dividends annually. Distribution of earnings will reduce the tax burden of the company and will also increase investors' confidence. The company declared its last quarterly dividend on May 22, 2013 of $0.27 per share, yielding 1.4% growth year over year. American Tower is hoping for 20% annual growth in dividend distributions over the next five years.
U.S. recovery brings growth opportunities
Rebounding real estate prices are attracting international investors to the U.S. market. This market generated a 6.7% return on investment in the first quarter of this year. Investors from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East invested up to $7.97 billion in the U.S. real estate sector as of April 2013, almost 25% higher than 2012.
Estimates indicate that real estate business in the U.S. market will rise from $290 billion last year to $310 billion this year. The company is estimated to generate higher revenue, as it invested 93% of its total funds in the real estate segment and of this 44% was invested in the U.S.
Invesco's broad diversification and capital deployment in different segments fueled revenue growth of 5.2% in the first quarter this year. The real estate market recovery in the U.S., and increased fees were the main profit drivers. To gain investors' confidence, the company announced its quarterly dividend on May 17, 2013 of $0.22, which was a 30% hike from its prior dividend declared in February 2013.
The recovery of the real estate sector in the U.S. market has led Invesco to the management of $52 billion in assets as of March 2013. Estimates suggest that the company will generate overall revenue of up to $4.74 billion by the end of this year.
Two major segments resulting in high growth
Theme parks and resorts, a major segment of Walt Disney, reported 14% year over year revenue growth in the second quarter of 2013. Parks and resorts revenue for the quarter increased 14% to $3.3 billion. The recent $1 billion expansion of Cars Land at Disney Land and Fantasy Land at Disney World were the main reasons for revenue growth.
In order to provide better service to its customers, Walt Disney is planning to launch My Magic Plus bands by the end of this year. These wearable rubber bands will allow customers to personalize their stay, receive the bands in advance of their trip, and have an all in one access to amenities.
In addition to new features, Walt Disney has decided to implement price increases to its entire ticket range. Increased prices will go into effect this summer and will rise by about 6%. A 7% jump in hotel reservations along with a 6% increase in visitor count, shows positive indication for high revenue generation in the future.
Media networks, another major segment of Walt Disney, reported 6% year over year growth. This segment contributed 47% of total revenue for Disney in the first quarter of 2013. The top contributors of were ESPN and the Disney channel. ESPN revenue growth was due to a high demand for sports programs and multi-year contracts. The company has also increased its advertisement subscription fee and contractual fees due to offset an increase in sports licensing costs.
Walt Disney's increased fees and rising demand in both of its major segments will boost revenue in the future. A growing dividend yield and increasing demand of 4G technology in the domestic market will help American Tower to capture a large market share. The U.S. real estate market recovery will generate revenue for Invesco in the years 2013 and 2014. Maybe Ken Griffin is on to something.

What you need to know about venous disease and treatment:
Veins are the blood vessels that return blood from the body to the heart. In healthy veins, one-way valves allow blood to move from the legs toward the heart. When these valves fail to function properly, blood leaks backward into the vein (a condition known as reflux). Blood may then pool in the veins, causing the walls of the veins to enlarge. This bulging appears as varicose veins.
The first step in the treatment of advanced venous disease involves closing the Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV), a large vein that runs along the inside of the upper thigh. Historically, this has been accomplished by removing the vein Ð a process know as vein stripping. Vein stripping procedures are performed in an operating room under general anesthesia, and involve a considerable recovery period for the patient. However, in the past several years the use of Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) has become an accepted alternative to surgical stripping. EVLT is a less invasive procedure that does not require general anesthesia and is performed in an outpatient setting. A laser is inserted through a small entry point in the leg using a local anesthetic. Energy from the laser is discharged, causing the vein walls to close. While the EVLT procedure will be successful at closing the abnormal GSV in greater than 90% of patients, not every patient will experience complete relief of the venous varicosities with this treatment alone. Current estimates suggest that 25% of all patients will realize significant improvement in symptoms following the EVLT procedure, 50% will experience some improvement, and 25% may not experience any significant improvement in symptoms following closure of the GSV. The majority of patients will require supplemental therapy with sclerotherapy or ambulatory phlebectomy to achieve a complete cosmetic result.
Once the GSV has been successfully closed, any remaining visible varicose veins can usually be treated with sclerotherapy, a procedure that involves injecting a small volume of a liquid into the diseased vein. The sclerosing agent irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to seal shut so that blood can no longer pool in the veins. Sclerotherapy sessions usually last between 10-20 minutes, and patients may require repeated injections to achieve the desired cosmetic results. Sclerotherapy treats only those veins that are currently visible, and will not prevent new veins from surfacing in the future.
Post-treatment expectations:
Very few serious complications have been associated with EVLT. Common complaints experienced by patients following this procedure include mild to moderate bruising, tenderness, and tightness in the treated leg for as long as two weeks following the treatment or procedure. However, none of these should be so significant as to deter patients from their normal daily activities. Depending upon the individual, the EVLT procedure may cause mild to moderate pain for two weeks following the procedure, which can be treated with acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Although very rare, serious complications such as infection, bleeding, nerve injury, or clots in the deep vein system are possible. The use of compression stockings for 10 days following the EVLT procedure is mandatory and insures that the GSV will remain closed. The success of the EVLT procedure is strongly dependent upon the stocking use.
Following sclerotherapy, patients may experience minimal side effects such as bruising, swelling, hyperpigmentation (staining) of the skin, or telangiectatic matting (new spider veins). These side effects are usually temporary. Serious complications such as ulceration, infection, clot formation, intra-arterial injection or allergies to the sclerosant are rare. The use of compression stockings for 3 days following sclerotherapy is required to insure good cosmetic results.

In Response to Questions on Sodium and Bringing Products to Market
We continue to get good questions in the comments section of this blog. Recently, we heard from a reader who wanted to know more about using different salt crystal shapes and the steps that need to take place to bring a new food product to market. Those questions can be found here. One of the things we are studying is the way a chip "holds" salt and salt perception. When you eat a chip, only about 20 percent of the salt actually dissolves on the tongue before the chip is chewed and swallowed while the other 80 percent is swallowed without contributing to the taste. Chips actually have comparable amounts of sodium (from salt) to other foods, such as breads and cereals, but those taste less salty because the salt is mixed in, while chips tend to taste more salty because the salt is usually on...

"Good Ending to a GREAT Series!"
I didn't LOVE this book as much as I LOVED the 1st two but that is sure asking for a lot! The 1st part of this book was good and had you wondering where the story was going, the middle was a bunch of nothing really and the end was exactly what I wanted and expected. I didn't end this feeling like I was left hanging. I loved this series so much that I will buy anything else written by Rebecca Donovan!!
"Another WOW!!!!!"
This book was as good if not better than the 1st book. I LOVE this series and will be recommending this to all my friends. Again I was so glad that I had already purchased book 3 before I finished book 2. Kate Rudd does a good job narrating too.
"WOW....Just WOW!!!"
I loved this book!!! I was almost breaking my Ipod by pushing the forward button when it ended! Thankful that I already purchased the 2nd book in this series so i didn't have to wait.
This is a very emotional story about a girl who spends her days trying to disappear in plain site until a new boy come into school and won't let her fade into the background. Slowly she starts getting more comfortable in her own skin and starts to find "reasons to breathe". Without giving away an hints about the ending....be prepared to be wrecked emotionally when this book is over.
I really enjoyed this book. Finished it in 1 day! I loved that both characters didn't have crazy traumatized pasts and they just like what they like and it's not because of something that happened to them. It was a sweet story with very little drama like the rest of the books in this genre lately. Adam Paul did a good job. Can't wait to listen to Ash & Jace's stories!! Maya Banks is awesome as always!!!
"Just Ok..."
The story was just ok, the character chemistry was lacking. I may have enjoyed this better if the narration was different. I normally like this narrator but I didn't like the voice and dry way she narrated Micah, I also had a hard time with the way she pronounced specific words including the way she pronounced the hero's name, I've never heard Micah pronounced like Meekah and it drove me crazy.
"Story is Amazing....Narrator Change Not So Much!!"
This is a great book in the KGI series! It was refreshing to read about a heroine that didn't need to be protected! PJ is a tough girl and Cole loves that about her. The narration was not terrible it just was not the voice that we have associated these characters with. I can say that I never imagined Cole having such a southern accent, probably because of the previous narrator. Worth the credit for me !
I purchased this because I love the books this author writes as Lorelei James, and I am glad I gave it a try as it is nothing like the others books I've read. The story wasn't very fast but it fit perfectly with the slow paced country life the characters live. Mercy Gunderson is a little rough around the edges but I liked that about her. Jennifer Van Dyck did a great job narrating. I will be purchasing the next book in this series.
I love this series. This is fun and quirky and I just can't get enough. I love Molly Harper and Amanda Ronconi both! Keep em coming!!!
This is such a great series! Stider is HOT and the narrator is awesome as always! This is a highly recommended series for all my paranormal loving friends!
"Fun & Sexy Series!"
This series is a little silly and a little sexy. I really enjoyed all of these books for a light read. This narrator is definitely not my favorite by far but not so terrible that it stopped me from listening.

People's Law Guide
Justin C. Carlin
Business owners and people in the marketplace often speak of "collections." While there is no textbook (or legal) definition for a collection, it is fair to say that a collection is any successful attempt—whether through the submission of a letter or through the institution of formal legal proceedings—to recover something that is owed by one individual or entity to another individual or entity. A small business, for example, engages in a collection when it resorts to the court system to collect a past due balance. Moreover, the large volume of mortgage foreclosure cases that are currently flooding the courts' dockets are properly viewed as collections, because such cases involve lenders that are seeking possession and ownership of collateral property to satisfy a past due balance under a promissory note.
There are many reasons why collections are (or at least should be) important to Florida business owners, especially in a soft market where customers and clients are defaulting at unprecedented levels. Unlike employees of a business who receive a salary or wage, a business owner's livelihood is directly attributable to the degree to which his or her business gets paid for its services or products. Furthermore, an unpaid balance represents an injustice: a person or entity receives the benefit of a service or product without paying fair value for it.
The Collections Process
Unlike non-lawyer collection agencies, lawyers have a powerful tool in their arsenal: they may file a lawsuit on a creditor's behalf. Thus, from the perspective of a collections lawyer, the first step in collecting a past due balance from a debtor is almost always the institution of formal legal proceedings. Before filing suit, however, some collections attorneys will first write a formal demand letter to the debtor, identifying themselves as the creditor's attorney and demanding payment of the amount alleged to be owed. Typically, such a letter informs the debtor that the failure to pay will immediately result in a lawsuit.
While drafting a demand letter may potentially spare the creditor from having to file a lawsuit, an unsuccessful demand letter may protract the process of collecting a debt. If the letter's purpose is to be achieved, then the creditor must give the debtor sufficient time in which to respond. In addition, because a creditor's attorney is deemed a "debt collector" under federal law, he or she must scrupulously follow the provisions of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ("FDCPA"). Among other things, the FDCPA affords debtors an opportunity to dispute the debt in writing and triggers additional obligations on the part of the creditor's attorney, including the obligation to provide the debtor with verification of the debt. See 15 U.S.C. § 1692g.(b) (2006). Failure to abide by the mandates of the FDCPA subjects the debt collector to liability. See generally 15 U.S.C. § 1692k. (2006).
Can I Still Bring a Lawsuit If There Is No Written Contract?
Many creditors wonder whether they can bring a lawsuit against a debtor without a written contract. While a written contract is probably the best evidence for the existence of an agreement, it is not necessary to prove breach of contract or numerous other causes of action. A contract can be proved by testimony, the parties' course of dealing, and documents evidencing the existence of an agreement. To this end, an invoice may evidence an agreement for payment of services or products.
In debt collection cases involving an invoice but no written contract, the most common cause of action brought by creditor's attorneys is "account stated." The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal has held that a plaintiff properly pleads a case for account stated when he or she alleges "an agreement between the parties that a certain balance is correct and due and an express and implicit promise to pay this balance." Merkle v. Health Options, Inc., 940 So. 2d 1190, 1194 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003). When there is no invoice or written contract, a creditor may bring an action for "open account," using its accounting records to show an unsettled debt. See, e.g., H & H Design Bldrs., Inc. v. Travelers' Indemnity Co., 639 So. 2d 697, 700 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994). While describing each and every possible cause of action is beyond the scope of this article, it is sufficient to note that there are several causes of action that may be brought in the absence of an express written contract between the creditor and the debtor. An experienced collections attorney will know which causes of action to assert.
Should I File a Lawsuit Pro Se (Without the Assistance of an Attorney) If the Amount in Dispute Is Small?
Many creditors incorrectly think that, because the amount in dispute is small, he or she should prosecute a case without the assistance of an attorney. While such pro se litigants may occasionally get a debtor to pay them after bringing a lawsuit, there are numerous reasons why proceeding without assistance of counsel may be unwise.
The first reason involves protecting one's own interests, because filing a lawsuit against a debtor invites the debtor to file a lawsuit against the creditor. Think about it: If a lawsuit is analogous to a fight, the most natural response to being hit is to hit back! The author of this piece recounts a plaintiff who, while pro se, sued a defendant for roughly $1,200.00. The debtor's attorney immediately counter-claimed for over $15,000.00, asserting that the plaintiff had defamed his client while trying to collect the debt. Because the defendant's claim possessed merit, the plaintiff was not only unable to collect the amount owed, but he spent a sizable sum of money defending the counterclaim. If the plaintiff had hired an attorney from the outset, the attorney would almost certainly have assisted the plaintiff in properly demanding the money owed.
The failure to recognize potential valid counterclaims is only one reason to hire an attorney. Other reasons include properly drafting the lawsuit, complying with necessary pre-suit procedures, and utilizing any statutes, causes of action or rules that might allow for an award of attorney's fees to the prevailing party. Because attorney's fees continue to accrue as the action is litigated, the possibility of recouping those fees may cause a debtor to feel a greater sense of pressure to settle.
In some instances, hiring a lawyer may be required. Although a business owner may represent his or her business in the small claims context, he or she must hire a lawyer if the case is brought in (or transferred to) county or circuit court. A case is properly brought in county court if the amount in dispute is between $5,000.00 and $15,000.00 (exclusive of court costs, interest, and attorney's fees), and a case is properly brought in circuit court if the amount in dispute is in excess of $15,000.00 (exclusive of court costs, interest, and attorney's fees). The cost involved in hiring an attorney for a simple collection is usually not overly burdensome. Most collections attorneys (including the author) frequently take cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that the creditor's attorney's fee is paid directly out of the proceeds of a money judgment. In other words, no fee is charged if there is no recovery.
Can a Creditor Recoup Attorney's Fees and Costs from a Debtor after Bringing Suit?
One of the most common questions posed by creditors seeking legal representation in a collections lawsuit is whether they will be able to recoup attorney's fees and costs. In debt collection context, a creditor may generally recoup attorney's fees if: (a) the debt is premised on a contract, and (b) the contract provides for the award of attorney's fees. Even then, the award of attorney's fees will be limited to that which is determined by the court to be reasonable. See,e.g., Tutor Time Merger Corp. v. MeCabe, 763 So. 2d 505, 506 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000). Depending on the circumstances of a case, there may be additional methods of acquiring a fee award, such as by making a proposal for settlement that is unreasonably rejected by the defendant. See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.442 (2010). Here, the plaintiff is entitled to reasonable costs and attorney's fees incurred from the date of serving the proposal on the defendant.
As for recouping court costs, a judgment debtor will be responsible for any court costs incurred as a result of bringing the action. See Fla. Stat. § 57.041 (2010). Court costs vary depending on the applicable filing fee and on whether the creditor spends money engaging in discovery, which is the "compulsory disclosure, at a party's request, of information that relates to the litigation." Black's Law Dictionary 207-08 (2d. ed. 2001). Depending on whether the suit is filed in small claims court, county court or circuit court, the cost of filing and serving a lawsuit in Broward County, Florida, is usually somewhere between $195.00 and $411.00.
Additional Considerations for the Prudent Creditor-Business Owner
A prudent business owner should not only assess its business's ability to win a case, but he or she should also consider the practical implications of bringing a lawsuit, such as how the filing of a lawsuit may impact the business's goodwill. Indeed, it may not make sense for a creditor to sue a debtor for a small amount of money if the lawsuit will cause harm to the creditor's reputation.
Furthermore, a creditor should weigh the costs of bringing a lawsuit against the likelihood of any potential recovery. Even if a creditor obtains a money judgment against a debtor, a debtor's assets may be exempt from execution, preventing the creditor from having its judgment satisfied. See, e.g., Fla. Const. art. 10, § 4 (2010) (exempting homestead property from forced sale except for the payment of taxes, mortgages, or improvements or repairs); see also Fla. Stat. § 222.11 (2010) (providing a wage garnishment exemption to heads of a family who contribute in excess of 50% of dependent's support when the wage earner has a legal or moral obligation to support such dependent). Worse still, the debtor may not have anything to pay the creditor. In those cases, the best course of action for the judgment creditor is to record his or her judgment and hope that the debtor one day acquires property on which an execution may be made. A collections attorney may assist a creditor in determining whether bringing a lawsuit makes economic sense.

The game turned out
to be pretty one-sided last Friday night in Kimberly, but there's nothing like
a late season battle of unbeatens.
So…let's do it again!
This week's WIXX Preps Pick takes us to Goelz Field, Ashwaubenon. The Fox River Classic Conference outright lead hangs in the balance as Bay Port and Ashwaubenon, both 6-0 (5-0), meet up in a contest of contrasting styles – Bay Port, a force on the ground; Ashwaubenon, an aggressor through the air. It should be a doozie.
Best of luck to the Pirates and the Jaguars and all of our area teams. Keep the nominations coming HERE , and don't forget to tag your Instagram pics tonight #WIXXPreps.
