also known as Diane Bass
Experienced, Aggressive, Compassionate, Criminal Defense Attorney in Federal and State CourtMore than 20 years of Experience with Every Kind of Criminal Case
Posted by anonymous
Diane has save me twice. Once in a Federal case that spanned from 1996 to 2001, and the second time in 2005. I consider her to be my Good Luck Charm. Although I am completely ignorant of Criminal Law, Diane was always there to talk to me and keep me informed. She also prevented me, on several occasions, from making a big mistake with my dealings of my criminal problems.
Her fees are fair, and she never 'nickel and dimed' me like my civil lawyers always do.
If Diane says she is a good fit for your case - use her. If she does not consider herself to be a good fit, she will refer you out.

Diane Bass is truly an amazing person. She saved my life and I could not be more thankful. The fact that Diane took my case which was a federal case and saved me from hell especially because I was innocent and she believed in me immediately. Diane is honest, loyal and a hard worker. She fought for me and was there for me when I had no one. I trust Diane completely and would recommend her to ANYONE!! If Diane had not come into my life I do not know where I would be today, she knows what she is doing as a lawyer and more important when she says she is going to do something she does it. I have never met a person in my life like Diane. Also the fact that I wasn't even a resident of the United States made my case more difficult. Diane took control of my case and made sure all the real facts about me came through.
Diane got me my full release on a very serious case and to this day she remains to be someone very special in my life. I do believe she was sent to me for a reason and again like I said before without Diane I do not know where I would be right now.
After I was released I went through some serious trauma and post traumatic stress and she still continued to stand beside and be support for me. I adore her extremely and am very thankful for her thus why I believe she was my angel.

In the digital age, the printing press has largely gone the way of Dodo, but we still treat the design of typefaces as being as permanent as if it was made up of centuries-old metal blocks. You just don't 'tweak' a typeface... do you?
Google thinks you do. Today, Google announced an overhaul to Roboto, the Android system font first unveiled two years ago. More than just a series of optimizations to ready Android for an entire new wave of devices, Roboto 2.0 aims to prove that typefaces don't need to be written in stone anymore.
Roboto's designer, Christian Robertson, has always argued that the font is a work-in-progress. "The old model for releasing metal typefaces doesn't make sense for an operating system that is constantly improving," Robertson says.
In other words, as Android evolves, so should Roboto. Every time Android supports a new type of device—which now includes phones,tablets, computers, TVs, and watches—or changes it's design philosophy, Roboto should be re-evaluated and tweaked to make sure it's still doing what typography is supposed to do: be the skeleton of interface design.
"Compare Android Wear to Android TV," says Matias Duarte, Google's Director of Android Experience. "On a 2-inch smartwatch, text will have to be squeezed into a small, narrow column, which gives it a different rhythm than seeing the same text on a wide 50-inch television screen." But Roboto has to work well on both, as well as hundreds of other contexts.
Rhythm is a hard thing to quantify. If your typeface looks too scrunched together in some places than in others, for example, you can't just average out the distance between characters and call it a day, because our eyes interpret spaces differently: a capital 'F'', for example, might look farther apart next to a lower case 'e' than if it were next to an 'a', even if the distance between them was exactly the same.
Hence the need for an evolving typeface that is just as responsive to criticism as it is to user testing. "That's the way we plan to keep Roboto robust over time," says Robertson. "Most people can't really articulate their reaction to a typeface. The most important thing is to get it in front of people and see how they interact with it."
First released by Google in early 2012 as a replacement for the system-wide Droid font, Roboto was designed to be a more modern and approachable typeface that would look great on high-resolution devices. But typography critics were not kind to Google.
Citing its amalgam of various typographical styles, Stephen Coles of Typographica said: "[Roboto] is not a typeface. It's... a four-headed Frankenstein. You never know which personality you'll get." Other critics, meanwhile, claimed that Roboto was nothing more than a bad Helvetica clone: a super-bland sans serif font that would go down in history as Google's own version of Arial.
Although critics may still deride it as a Helvetica clone or a Frankenfont, Roboto 2.0 addresses many issues with the original version. The vast majority of tweaks to Roboto have to do with the way the letters look together, not just in words and sentences, but in a variety of different types of screens. It's subtle, but these changes — an 'O' rounded here, a couple of pixels shaved off an 'l' there — give the typeface a different balance than it had before.
"The system font for an operating system needs to help give the UI character, but you still don't want people to fixate on specific glyphs," Robertson tells me. Although the 'K' and 'R' were some of Roboto's most distinctively shaped letters, two years of feedback showed Google that they needed to be dialed back. "With a system font, you really don't want people going, oh, here's that weird 'K' again," says Robertson.
In Roboto 2.0, other such 'problem glyphs' have also been tweaked. Most users, for example, will never notice that the lower terminals of the lower-case 'e' and 'g' have been closed, where as previously, they were more open. But when Roboto was first released, many critics considered the design of the 'e' and 'g' to be borderline sacrilege, leading to Google rolling it back in this release.
"That was a way we were deliberately trying to push the boundaries," admits Robertson. "People act as if there's this hard fast rule for designing sans serif typefaces that, say, if your 'a' is closed, your 'e' needs to be closed, too. We didn't think that was necessarily true, and so we tried to experiment with that."
But Roboto 2.0 isn't merely reacting to user criticisms. It is also taking on board lessons learned from the testing of new products, like Android Auto. Some of Roboto's subtler design changes happened after testing how well Roboto worked in a dashboard setting. By fitting users with special liquid crystal glasses, which turned on and off to simulate the maximum amount of time the National Highway Safety Commission deems safe to look away from the road while driving your car, Google was able to make changes to Roboto to improve its legibility both on-the-road and off.
The truth is that while critics might argue about Roboto's merits, Google looks at it as being the same as any of its other products, from search to Gmail to Android itself. Roboto doesn't exist as thousands of glyphs carved into individual metal blocks; it's a purely digital construct. Why not treat it like one, and keep it supported over time?

Seattle signs Flynn to three-year deal
The Seattle Seahawks came out on top in the pursuit of Green Bay Packers free agent quarterback Matt Flynn, and they were able to do it without breaking the bank.
A day after Flynn made a visit to the Miami Dolphins, Seattle closed the deal with Flynn on Sunday afternoon, agreeing to terms on to a three-year deal that a source with direct knowledge of the agreement said is worth $19 million on its face value, but features the ability for him to make $5 million more.
Another source familiar with the deal said it included $10 million of guaranteed money.
The part most relevant to the Packers - other than the fact they'll travel to Seattle to face Flynn this season - is that their chances of receiving a third-round compensatory pick next year are probably lost.
Much of the compensatory formula is based on the value of the departing free agent's contract, and Flynn's deal is comparable to others who have merited fourth-round picks.
The Seahawks emerged as a player for Flynn late last week and while many expected Flynn to sign with the Miami Dolphins because of his connection with Dolphins coach Joe Philbin, his former offensive coordinator in Green Bay, Seattle was the one that came through with a better offer.
Former Packers personnel analyst John Schneider, now the Seahawks' general manager, is a close friend of coach Mike McCarthy and undoubtedly did his homework on Flynn. It's expected that Flynn will take over the starting job from Tarvaris Jackson right away.
The Dolphins apparently did not want to pay as much for Flynn because they had him in their facility Saturday and did not close the deal.
Instead, they hosted free agent David Garrard on a visit and appear to be hotly pursuing San Francisco free agent quarterback Alex Smith.
Instead of having somebody who can run their offense right away, Philbin and offensive coordinator Mike Sherman, the former Packers coach, may have to develop a young player.
If the 49ers don't sign free agent Peyton Manning, then it's possible Smith returns to be San Francisco's starter.
When it came to Flynn - who set a team record with six touchdown throws in the 45-41 regular-season finale victory over Detroit and has a 92.8 career passer rating - the Packers knew he wanted to be a starter somewhere else and keeping him would be impossible as long as Aaron Rodgers is around.
In most cases, qualifying for a third-round compensatory pick for a single lost player requires that the free agent sign for a long-term deal worth around $7 million per year.
It is not likely that the loss of Flynn and center Scott Wells in free agency could add up to a third-round pick, but most likely will bring two fourths.
If Thompson were to lose cornerback Jarrett Bush, he would hope to get one more pick. Bush, according to league sources, made an official visit with the New York Jets on Sunday, believed to be his first visit since free agency started.
The NFL's system for determining compensatory picks is complicated and closely guarded. Teams consistently complain about the way picks are handed out, often feeling that they should have had higher or a greater number of picks.
The one absolute is that the determination on picks is based on a team's net loss the season before. So if general manager Ted Thompson were to sign a mid-level free agent now, it would lessen the value of the Flynn-Wells loss. All picks come at the end of the corresponding round and they cannot be traded.
The Packers are in line for the maximum number of picks a team can receive following the loss of guard Daryn Colledge, end Cullen Jenkins, running back Brandon Jackson and offensive lineman Jason Spitz. The highest pick they'll get will probably be in the fourth round.
Compensatory picks for this year should be announced at the owners meetings next week in Palm Beach, Fla.
If he plays anywhere near the way he did in his two starts with the Packers, Flynn should help make Seattle a strong contender in the NFC.
In addition to re-signing running back Marshawn Lynch and defensive tackle Red Bryant, the Seahawks have added Flynn and defensive tackle Jason Jones.
Their defense has the potential to be very good, but they are going to have to bolster their offensive line.
Flynn set a Packers record throwing for the six touchdowns against Detroit, but he did with a loaded offense.

While some sites went dark on Wednesday in an attempt to protest SOPA and spread awareness of its implications, Facebook was up and running — and, in a rare move, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg even took a trip across the social network and decided to tweet.
Zuckerberg, whose Twitter account is @finkd, hasn't tweeted in almost 3 years before today — though he maintains over 120,000 followers. "Tell your congressmen you want them to be pro-Internet," he tweeted, with a link to his Facebook.
What, you didn't think he was completely abandoning ship, did you?
His Facebook post on the matter reads as follows:
The internet is the most powerful tool we have for creating a more open and connected world. We can't let poorly thought out laws get in the way of the internet's development. Facebook opposes SOPA and PIPA, and we will continue to oppose any laws that will hurt the internet.
The world today needs political leaders who are pro-internet. We have been working with many of these folks for months on better alternatives to these current proposals. I encourage you to learn more about these issues and tell your congressmen that you want them to be pro-internet.
What are your thoughts on SOPA? Did the Wikipedia blackout affect you today?

TRANSported Transforms Shipping Containers into Green-Walled Artist Habitats in NYC [PHOTOS]
TRANSported was curated by Amy Lipton of ecoartspace, a nonprofit arts organization, as part of the New Museum's IDEAS CITY Festival 2013. "My title, TRANSported, refers to the area's shipping history but also to the way that Tender and Art Pac-Kit will visually transport viewers into alternative realities, inspiring new ways of thinking," said Lipton. "TRANSported will provide a meeting place for developing new methodologies, new solutions, and new goals for taking advantage of underutilized resources ranging from people and raw materials to ideas and networks."
Hudson Valley-based Habitat For Artists outfitted one of the two containers into Art Pac-Kit, a vibrant artists' workshop and retreat. The exterior of the habitat was decked out with a green wall, PV panels, a rainwater collection system, a small rooftop garden and a public message board that was populated with notes by visitors. Inside, artists were invited to create new artworks and explore the relationship between art and themes like energy, conservation, sustainability and food.
Artist Seth Kinmont, the occupant of the other shipping container, translated the idea of "Untapped Capital" in a much more literal fashion. Called TENDER, the installation was centered around a printing press and coin striker that minted a special currency. Visitors had the chance to purchase either a coin or a bill for $1 each, and each piece of currency also acted as a lottery ticket with a chance of winning the artwork. In this way, the worth of each coin or bill went from fixed to fluid, speaking to our fluctuating idea of value and how it is generated.
TRANSported closed on May 31, 2013, but if you didn't get to see it in person, flip through our photo gallery to see what you missed.

From Bangalore in March 1998 to Chennai in February 2013, it's been a long road for Harbhajan Singh marked by ups and downs, triumphs and disasters, glorious moments and flop shows with controversies never far away. He has always been a fighter, full of aggression though there have been times when this aggressiveness has crossed the limits and landed him in trouble.

Still to last so long, play 100 Tests, be a member of the exclusive 400 wickets club (there are only ten others who are honoured members) and star in numerous victories including shaping arguably the greatest triumph in a series at home are achievements the ultra-competitive sardar can be proud of.

when I feed time values in the number-letter syntax to makenote and vary the tempo globally with an unnamed transport object, makenote will adjust the note length accordingly.
However, I would like to use named transports. But I do not understand how to get a makenote 'listen' to a named transport object. I have tested that I have a valid named transport object controlling a metro object 'listening' to it.
Is it possible at all?
Thanks very much,
Perhaps using translate to generate the values in ms?
