Mr. BIDEN. Mr. President, I rise to commend the other body for its prompt action on S. 1280, legislation introduced by Chairman HATCH and myself and passed unanimously by the Senate on July 14. Enactment of S. 1280 will clear the way for the commencement of the Child Safety Pilot Program created by the Protect Act, a program designed to keep our kids safe from pedophiles and other criminals.
S. 1280 builds upon language included in the Protect Act at section 108 which authorized a pilot program to study the feasibility of national criminal history background checks for volunteers with organizations that work with children. In section 108, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children is authorized to assist child-serving organizations in evaluating criminal history records to determine whether potential volunteers are fit to work with children.
We need to do all that we can to keep pedophiles and other convicted felons away from our kids. That was the intent of the background check provisions Senator HATCH, Chairman SENSENBRENNER, and I worked to include in the Protect Act. Instead of giving volunteer organizations raw criminal history data, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, "NCMEC", agreed to review the FBI's data to determine whether it reveals a criminal history rendering someone unfit to work with children.
Under section 108 of the Protect Act, NCMEC will evaluate FBI-provided criminal history records, make a determination whether these records render a potential volunteer unfit to work with children, and pass this resulting fitness determination on to the requesting volunteer organization. Unfortunately, the Protect Act did not limit NCMEC's civil liability in this area. NCMEC volunteered to take on this task, but they indicated they would be unable to make fitness determinations if they are subject to civil suits by aggrieved volunteers. And while the Protect Act provided NCMEC with a shield from civil liability for operating its cyber tip line, so long as NCMEC does so consistent with the purpose of the tip line, no similar protection was provided with respect to NCMEC's activities under the pilot background check program.
S. 1280 extends NCMEC's immunity from civil liability to actions they take pursuant to the pilot program. NCMEC will still be subject to suit for any criminal actions they take, and liable civilly if a plaintiff can show actual malice or intentional misconduct on NCMEC's part. Specifically, S. 1280 immunizes NCMEC for decisions it makes based on the criminal records provided to them by the FBI in any of the following instances: 1. When NCMEC provides a volunteer organization with a fitness determination indicating that a volunteer is not fit to work with children; 2. When NCMEC provides a volunteer organization with a fitness determination that an individual is fit to serve as a volunteer based on incomplete or inaccurate criminal history records provided by the FBI; or 3. When NCMEC provides a volunteer organization with a fitness determination that an individual is fit to serve as a volunteer based on a lack of criminal history records from the FBI. As an author of S. 1280, I understand my interpretation of the legislation is consistent with that of Chairmen HATCH and SENSENBRENNER.
Enactment of S. 1280 will permit the pilot programs authorized in the Protect Act to begin on the date called for in the legislation, July 29, 2003. I thank my colleagues in the other body for taking prompt action on S. 1280. I thank Chairman HATCH for his continued devotion to child safety issues, and I look forward to the commencement of the Child Safety Pilot Program next week.

The use of mobile phones as a data collection tool: A report from a household survey in South Africa
To investigate the feasibility, the ease of implementation, and the extent to which community health workers with little experience of data collection could be trained and successfully supervised to collect data using mobile phones in a large baseline survey
A web-based system was developed to allow electronic surveys or questionnaires to be designed on a word processor, sent to, and conducted on standard entry level mobile phones.
The web-based interface permitted comprehensive daily real-time supervision of CHW performance, with no data loss. The system permitted the early detection of data fabrication in combination with real-time quality control and data collector supervision.
The benefits of mobile technology, combined with the improvement that mobile phones offer over PDA's in terms of data loss and uploading difficulties, make mobile phones a feasible method of data collection that needs to be further explored.
Large field surveys are a common feature of the health research landscape. In low and middle income countries where capacity and administrative problems with the collection of health data are common, surveys are often the only way to collect reliable data
Wireless and mobile phone technologies have the potential to overcome some of these limitations. Moreover, they can be adapted for use in field research settings. Low and middle-income countries lack the infrastructure in many research field settings to accommodate adequate fixed line internet access, whereas wireless networks allow access to telecommunications in a region where fixed lines remain limited. In Africa, mobile users account for 83 per cent of telephone subscribers, a higher proportion than any other region in the world
The use of mobile technology as a research instrument is in its infancy, however. Studies conducted in developed country settings have investigated the use of cell phones on the patient end to generate feedback for improved chronic illness care and monitoring
In the context of poor research infrastructure and of increasing demands for large scale health surveys, the affordability and availability of mobile phones and wireless networks make them a viable alternative to traditional paper and pencil methods and even PDAs. In this paper we report on the use of mobile phones in a survey conducted in a peri-urban settlement in South Africa using lay community health workers. The aim of this survey was to list and map households, and to collect selected socio-demographic data of household members. We investigated the feasibility, the ease of implementation, and the extent to which community health workers with little experience in electronic data collection could be trained and successfully supervised to collect data using mobile phones in a large health survey.
The site for the survey was Umlazi, a peri-urban settlement close to Durban in South Africa. Umlazi has a mixture of formal and informal housing. It is a relatively well resourced peri-urban area but with a non-optimally functioning health system. The infant mortality rate is around 60 per 1,000 live births
Data collection and training
The data were collected by local women hired as community health workers (CHW's). Twenty-four clusters covering the proposed study area were selected prior to survey implementation. Every house in all 24 clusters was listed using the South African national census listing strategy
None of the 24 CHW's had any previous experience of data collection, but all had personal mobile phones and were proficient in the use of short message service (SMS) messaging. Training for the data collection protocol was conducted for all the CHW's over a two day period with the data quality control officer present. Training consisted of a general orientation to using the phone and its data collection software, accessing the questionnaires on the phone, and standard care of the device. The training also included information on troubleshooting and how to deal with technical difficulties that might arise with the mobile phones. Survey questions were pilot tested prior to implementation to ensure readability and to ensure that the questions were understandable to respondents. Standard interview protocols were used to direct how interviews were conducted, and standard operating procedures were developed.
Mobile Researcher: the mobile phone data collection system
Implementation of the mobile system ("Mobile Researcher") was a partnership between the Health Systems Research Unit at the Medical Research Council of South Africa and a private digital solutions company, Clyral. The only hardware requirement for Mobile Researcher is that the mobile phone must be enabled for the Java programming language. The software consists of a Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) client which is installed on participating project staff handsets and communicates with the Mobile Researcher web application, also developed on the ASP .NET 3.5 framework. Java's core code is available under open-source distribution terms. We established a web-based system that allowed electronic surveys or questionnaires to be designed on a word processor, sent wirelessly to standard entry level mobile phones, and then used in interviews. Survey completion takes place offline, and no network coverage is necessary.
Completed surveys are automatically uploaded to the host computer. If there is no mobile network coverage, completed surveys are stored securely until a signal is found at which time completed surveys are uploaded. Entry level mobile phones can store approximately 50 completed standard-length surveys. Mobile Researcher can incorporate multiple choice, free text, numeric, date, time and other question types (see Figure

In addition, Mobile Researcher can also accommodate branching and skip logic as well as enforced validation in the field (Figure

All survey data were encrypted, thus maintaining the confidentiality of responses. Communication between the browser and the server was encrypted using 128-bit SSL. System servers were secured by firewalls to prevent unauthorised access and denial of service attacks, while data was protected from virus threats using NOD32 anti-virus technology. Access to the web-interface is protected by passwords. In the current study, access to the data was restricted to the principal investigator, the project manager, data quality officer and web administrator.
Implementation of the Survey
Over the course of four months, 39,665 households were surveyed with no data loss. Quality checks were performed in real-time, and inconsistencies were detected, rectified, and cleaned in a timely manner. There were no hardware or software failures using the mobile phones. The automated graphs and reports allowed the project manager to visualize outputs such as survey completion count on an hourly or daily basis or the average survey completion time.
The mobile phone, together with the web-interface, allowed the project manager to monitor work rate, attendance (given that this was a community based survey), commencement of work, and cessation of work (see Figure
Figure 4
Community health worker output

One of the major advantages of the mobile phone data collection method was in the real-time detection of probable data falsification. Based on our experience with the CHW training sessions, and the short survey we expected that negotiating entry into the house, completion of the survey and the walk to the next house would require a total of 25 minutes. Using the web-based interface and the real-time monitoring of CHW output, we were able to detect an instance of data fabrication on the day that it occurred (see Figure
Cost of Implementation
Given the minimal hardware requirements, we selected an entry level mobile phone (NOKIA 2626), which was priced at ZAR400 (US$40) in South Africa at the time of the survey. Surveys were billed per individual question completed. In this survey, the cost per completed survey was US $0.30 (with no data storage or data entry costs).
In a household survey, using previously untrained CHW's as data collectors, we utilized mobile phones to enter and upload data at the point of collection. The software application and web-based interface enhanced real-time supervision of data collectors. We were able to implement this survey with low direct costs of materials. While we are not able to compare costs to a paper based approach in this study, it is likely that a cost of $0.30 per survey compares favorably. Were we using a paper based approach this figure would include paper costs, printing costs as well as data entry costs. The issue of the cost effectiveness of the system needs to be explored in further research that employs a comparison group. Overall, our findings demonstrate that mobile phone based data collection is feasible at scale.
Real-time supervision of CHW performance was a significant advance over previous implementation work. It has been argued that pen and paper are prone to fabrication
With regards to the direct costs of materials, the automated uploading of completed surveys obviated the step of having to transfer data in the field from a PDA to a laptop. This is a significant cost saving, as laptops are often the most expensive up front cost in studies using PDAs for data collection
Automated data upload from the mobile phone to the server significantly reduces data loss due to PDA damage, theft or loss because of the time elapsed between data collection and data upload. Prior studies have reported technical problems with data upload and download using PDA-based survey systems
Our mobile phone based survey apparatus may be particularly suited for conducting survey research in rural areas. In surveys where multiple research sites may be remote and dispersed, and where vehicles have to be used to travel from site to site to download data onto laptops, the mobile phone based data collection system may be a significantly cheaper option. Importantly, survey storage (up to 50 completed surveys can be stored on an entry-level mobile phone) and delayed upload permits surveys to be conducted in areas where there is no mobile phone coverage.
Mobile phone based surveys have other advantages and disadvantages that may be particularly important to researchers depending on their needs and the study setting. The automatic uploading of surveys and encrypted access to the web-based interface contributes to improved data security and respondent confidentiality. In diverse populations where multiple languages are spoken, multilingual paper assessments are cumbersome and costly
Our findings should be considered with the following limitations in mind. First, it should be noted that our study design did not incorporate a control group. Thus, a randomized basis for comparison is missing. Prior research has made use of control groups to evaluate the use of PDA technology for data collection
Our experience with a large scale baseline survey suggests that the real-time quality control and data collector supervision enabled by the use of a mobile phone based survey system make this an attractive management option and preferable to a paper based approach. This mobile solution has the potential to be scaled up in an extensive way for teams and studies of almost any size. The benefits of mobile technology, combined with the improvement that mobile phones offer over PDAs in terms of data loss and uploading difficulties, make mobile phones a feasible method of data collection that needs to be further explored. Rigorous controlled trials comparing data accuracy, readability, reliability and validity checks comparing paper based approaches, PDA's and mobile phones are needed. This should also include a cost effective analysis in small as well as large scale surveys.

i did and she just dosent have the time to research the case correctly. i ask question after question and she cannot answer any of my questions to not even having my discovery can she provide
If you hired her, you can get another lawyer. If you have a PD you can either come up with the money to hire a private attorney or make the best of it. I don't know the facts of your case and without that can't give you any specific advice. Here is a general rule. If you pled or were convicted of indecent exposure at trial, you must register/deregister as the statute requires until and unless you apply to be taken off the register and a judge grants that request. If you didn't do that and you have an indecent exposure conviction, that'd be a significant problem for you. Failure to register cases are very challenging to defend. There are some technical issues for some cases but those are the minority.

Pune: It has been a long time since India clinched a One Day series at home. The four-wicket win against Sri Lanka in Pune on Thursday ended three years of draws and defeats at the hands of West Indies, Australia and Pakistan. Earlier, Dinesh Mongia's heroics in Guwahati against Zimbabwe with his match-winning knock of 159 took India to a 3-2 series win against the visitors. That was the last time India won a one-day series on home soil. A few weeks before that, India took a 3-1 lead against England in a 6 match series but Andrew Flintoff's heroics ensured a 3-3 draw. India may be tigers at home when it comes to tests with only two series defeats in the last 10 years, but have faltered in the shorter version of the game. The series win against Sri Lanka was the first at home since March 2002. Prior to this the Indians lost to Pakistan in March and before that, back to back one day series to Australia and the West Indies. The Pakistan series though should have been India's as they comprehensively wrapped up the first two games in Kochi and Vizag after 3 blistering 100's from Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni. But from there it all went horribly wrong for India as Pakistan sealed the series with a 159 run win in the 6th & final ODI in Delhi. But that's not to say that India's overseas performance has been much better. Since the 2003 World Cup, India have won two ODI series - that was in Pakistan and Bangladesh in 2004, but apart from that its been defeats in places like Australia, Sri Lanka, Holland and England. With India not travelling abroad till next year and with eight matches still left to play at home against Sri Lanka and then South Africa - team India is no doubt on a high. The new found form at home is something they would like to take to Pakistan in January 2006.

Great , everything is in this tray
Its nice not to have to look or purchase separate items. They all all contained within this tray. The only negative is that the sterile gloves are always a bit difficult for my wife @ that part of the Foley change.

Chapter 2
Satine sat in melancholy in her chambers. A window seat provided sunshine into an otherwise bleak room. Her room was her prison; the duke would enter promptly each night. It was almost as bad as gothic tower. Rich silk hung about the bed; the curtains were closed. At least she couldn't see it. A bed of pain laid down each night, it had become the only silken bed in the world which was a bane to her, the only silken bed that she wished wasn't hers. Luckily, the curtains would be closed for a time. The Duke was in Paris on business, leaving her and the servants alone in the quiet country. She could rest, finally. Satine looked over the rolling hills, they seemed to wish to roll her all the way to Paris. She would go willingly, if only. Drowning in a velvety sea, she stood up. Amato wanted down, and began to whine at the door. She opened it, and stood in the doorway. Lucille and Aimee stood up from their chairs outside of her room. Like prison guards, they always were near her, or outside of her door. They bowed.
"Madame" They said in unison.
Satine nodded.
"I think I would like to go outside."
Lucille looked over at Aimee and nodded
"After you Madame"
Satine knew with certainty of their spying, but couldn't help making friends with her stalkers. They were the only women that would speak to her in the house, and she needed some appropriate conversation. Lucille was the kinder of the two maids; she was timid, caring, and intelligent. Aimee on the other hand was civil, but often wouldn't answer questions or reply in conversation. She had been demoted in rank after Satine had arrived, and she blamed Satine. It was also key to fool the maids as well. Them being spies, the duke would rely on their womanly understanding to discern her actions and conversation. She had to dupe them into thinking that she whole-heartedly loved the Duke. As if anyone could.
"How long is the Duke gone?"
Lucille replied quietly, "Two weeks, Madame."
"I do miss him. I wish he would hurry himself. What business is he on?"
"He would not tell us."
Satine nodded and kept walking. Amato pranced at her feet. She smiled, thinking of Christian. Her plan was becoming a bit clearer, but she still had the kinks to bump out of it. She descended the staircase slowly, the Duke's 'love' surrounded her in layers of fabric, leaving little room for her feet to move steadily. As she reached the bottom, she noticed a servant hurriedly turning a corner. They all fled from her in the house. The Duke no doubt had disclosed her past, and they did not want to be marred by her 'uncleanliness'.
"I think we might go around to the yard at the back. The yard at the front is rather boring when there is no one to greet."
Aimee and Lucille nodded and made their way down two halls and then turned left into a study with large windows. At the right were French doors. Lucille and Aimee walked and opened the doors for Satine to walk through. Amato yipped with happiness and started in an excited trot towards a tree. Satine laughed happily and walked after him. The ladies followed 5 feet behind. Satine picked up her large dress and began a fast walk to attract Amato's attention. Amato yipped at the motion and started to run around barking at Satine. After a few minutes, the weight of the dress was too heavy, and despite the lack of corset, she began to be short of breath. She started to cough, and slowly made her way to the outdoor patio where a wooden loveseat had been placed.
"Madame, are you alright?" Lucille asked.
These coughing fits after minor exertions had become common. The consumption had almost healed, but the damage done to her lungs was permanent. Her lungs also had not completely healed yet, and though the sickness went away, her lungs were still raw from the infection.
"No, no, I'm fine, just a bit too much playing I'm afraid. Let's just sit, Amato can play on his own"
Aimee and Lucille nodded and sat on chairs on either side of the couch.
"How have your families been doing lately?" Satine asked. She turned to Aimee in an attempt to prod some friendly conversation out of her. Aimee, as always, replied curtly.
"Very well, Madame. My family had a good harvest this year."
Satine, nodded and smiled. "I'm glad to hear it."
"And your family, Lucille?"
"Well, Madame. We earned enough money to buy a new horse and buggy." Lucille said happily.
"That is wonderful."
Amato got tired from chasing his tail and walked over and laid down on the layers of Satine's dress on the ground.
Satine smiled and bent down to pet the puppy, who promptly rolled over.
"It's such a wonderful day outside. I hope it's this nice in Paris, Paris is always beautiful in good weather and it puts him in such a nice mood. It's such a shame he's on business though. Having to be inside so often."
"I'm sure even if its good weather in Paris, he'll be ready to come out to the country. He always misses you, Madame. " Lucille said.
"Really? I would hope he misses me so much. I miss him so very much."
Christian had downed his second glass of absinthe for the day. He had not become a drunkard, but it had been a daily ritual of his to at least have one glass every other day and sit on the old window sill. He looked at it again, the dilapidated old building which had once been his favorite place in the world. He tried to take another drink but found the glass empty.
Today had been a particularly bad day. A year ago exactly he wrote Come What May for Satine. Humming it to himself was both comforting and torturous. Little did he know that at that time, what would come would be worse than storms and mountains. That it would truly separate them forever and he could sing all he wanted, but she would never be by his side again. He would still love her until his dying day. He didn't mind if that came sooner than later now.
A knock interrupted his thoughts.
"Christhain! Are you there? Please open the door!"
Christian sighed and set down his empty glass. He stumbled and opened the door to find Toulouse in his finest suit waiting at the door.
"Hello Toulouse. Come in"
Toulouse walked in and sat in a chair in the corner.
"I see thoday isn't such a good one. What is ith?"
"The anniversary of 'Come What May'." Christian replied stonefaced.
"Oh. Maybe I should come back on a happier day then."
"No, Toulouse. Stay. Company can actually be good on days like this."
"Wewll. You thsee, thats actually what I didn't want you to do. I wanted to invite you down to the theatre where we are rehearsthing."
"No." "Toulouse, I'm sorry. No"
"I asthked the director and he is happy to let you thsit in. Maybe it will help you."
" I don't think it will, Toulouse."
Toulouse looked around and saw a flat in shambles. It had been bad before even a year ago when Satine was alive. It was after all in Montmartre. However, after Satine died, it had deteriorated quickly. On good days, it looked halfway presentable. On bad days it was an artistic dump of bottles, glass and ink. Today it looked bad, but it was not the worst he had seen it.
"Christhain, come pleasthe. The whole castht really wants you to thsee it. They know you will not come opening night."
The words echoed a bit in Christian's mind. It hurt every part of him in more ways than one.
"No, Toulouse."
Toulouse sighed. He had tried as he had promised. Not even the strongest absinthe he could find could numb Christian enough to come sit in on even the production of the play.
"Alright Christhain. Good bye."
Toulouse hopped off the chair and hobbled to the door and left.
Christian sat back on the window sill and watched as Toulouse got a cab. He decided he might have a third absinthe. It was after all a special occasion.
Christian laughed at the thought of opening night.
He remembered how upset he had been last year when Satine had lied to him about not being in love with him. How he had gotten drunk on the last night he would see her alive. That truly was the only reason he still drank. The taste of the absinthe reminded him of that night, and the taste made him believe it was still that night and he could just walk into the Moulin Rouge and see her alive in her costume.
It never made the dream come true though. Even believing in green faeries didn't bring her back.
I'm not sure I can say how sorry I am for the hiatus that has happened.
Its been almost three years.
Between writers block, getting older, and more homework, this update has been long overdue.
I'm really sorry it took this long. This is just a taste I could come up with quickly though.
I will try HARD to update and write more often now.
I hope you enjoy this.
Reviews please! : DD

The comment from Tashi to my last post includes this link to pictures of a trip to Benchen in 2005 that I enjoyed so much I thought I'd "elevate" it to mention in a front-page post. (Correction: the link doesn't seem to work, but if you go to http://www.benchen.org.pl/ and look through the gallery, you'll find them easily enough.)
Interestingly, the Polish site includes pictures of the Chime Rinpoche of Benchen. I include below a picture including a stupa containing relics of his previous incarnation. I should make it clear that when I referred in the previous post to "Chime Rinpoche", I was actually thinking of my first teacher, known in the West by his personal name of Chime, but more properly called the Radha Lama or Chime Radha Rinpoche. He is also from Benchen, but the commonality of name is a coincidence. Getting confused about this has been known to upset a few people in the past, and some odd stories (that I need not repeat) went round. But in fact both lamas are entirely genuine, both are connected to Benchen – they are just two different people.
Tashi's friend's pictures are far better than anything I ever took, and it looks like they had a great trip. For contrast, here are a few from 1992:

I know I can specifically disinherit him, but he has verbally threatened to put me in a home or institution the moment he gets a chance. He is my only son, but has threatened me for years. I don't ever want him to have any sway over me, because ...
If you were in Virginia, I would start by having you execute 4 legal documents: 1) Revocable Living Trust - to manage financial decisions, 2) General Durable Power of Attorney - to handle financial issues/custodial issues outside of the trust, 3) Health Care Power of Attorney - to manage medical decisions, and 4) a Living Will - to handle end of life care decisions and directives.
My general rule of thumb is "he who controls the money, controls the person." Therefore, you take every reasonable step now to remove your son from any and all control of your finances. In doing this, you make it unlikely that he would want to spend his OWN money trying to put you into an institution.
In addition, I would advise a client in Virginia who is dealing with your concerns to write a letter to "the Court" expressing your concerns about your son and your desire never to allow him to make any kind of decisions for you. This letter should also highlight the legal steps you have taken (creating the 4 previous documents mentioned) to exclude your son from your decision making process. For good measure, you should sign this letter in the presences of an independent Notary Public and 2 independent witnesses. Be certain that your attorney and another person you trust maintains copies of this letter in additions to duplicates of your legal documents. This letter can be presented to the Judge or magistrate hearing any issues surrounding your incapacity, at the time an action is initiated by your son.
I suggest you acquire qualified legal counsel in your jurisdiction and you establish a LONG TERM relationship with that attorney so that they may act as another protective barrier between you and your son.See question
I am starting a Event Planning and an E-commerce online business in Houston. I need to get EIN numbers. I am the only employee now and I will probably be for a while.
It depends. Many companies have multiple lines of business and divisions operating under the same EIN. If you were one of my clients in VA or MA I would want to know how you are organized (Sole Proprietorship, S Corp., C Corp., LLC, Partnership, Business Trust, etc.) and I would want to examine the cross liability exposure of your various lines of business. I would also get your business CPA involved in the conversation.
I suggest you obtain qualified legal counsel in your jurisdiction to assist you with this matter.See question
I own 50% of a private corporation and would like to get a line of credit against those shares
It is possible to use shares in a privately held corporation as security for a line of credit. However, first you must first look at the bylaws and/or the buy/sell agreement of the corporation to see if there is any prohibition against pledging the shares.
The next obstacle you may have is finding a lender that is willing to accept the shares as security on the line of credit.
Finally, even if the corporate documents allow you to take this action and you find a lender that is willing to accept this secured interest, you must think about what impact this type of action will have on your relationship with the other shareholders of the corporation. I would suggest that you discuss your intentions with the other shareholders if you intend on maintaining a working business relationship with them.
It would be wise to consult qualified legal counsel in your jurisdiction to assist you in working through this issue.See question

When a Personal Representative (Executor/rix or Administrator/rix), charged with the administration of a probate estate, breaches his/her fiduciary duty to the underlying beneficiaries and/or its duty to the probate court, that Personal Representative can be removed by the Court upon the petition of any party with standing.
Although anyone can represent themselves pro se, it is highly advisable in a situation like this to obtain qualified legal counsel to craft and file the petition, and represent your interest at the hearing on the same.See question
My daughter with Down Syndrome is turning 19 and we were advised not to obtain guardianship but to obtain durable healthcare power of attorney to do such things as sign surgical consent if needed. What documentqation do we need to verify that she ...
In Virginia and Massachusetts a Principal must have the appropriate capacity to execute a legal document, such as a Health Care Power of Attorney. Although this standard varies from state to state, I generally use the "contract" standard/test; being, does the Principal have the legal capacity to execute an enforceable contract. If the answer is no, then the Principal most likely does not have the necessary legal capacity to execute a Health Care Power of Attorney.
Switching gears, it seems odd that you received advice against opening a guardianship in this case. There are various types and levels of guardianships generally available. If you are appointed the "guardian of the estate" then you are a Conservator. This brings with it a great deal of annual financial reporting to the Court. Alternatively, if you are appointed the "guardian of the person" you are not generally charged with the financial management of the Principal (and therefore less invasive annual court reporting); but instead, you are charged with the custodial (and therefore medical) decisions and care of the Principal.
I suggest you acquire qualified legal counsel in your state to assist you in this matter. Visit the attorney directory listing on www.WealthCounsel.com to find local attorneys near you who may be able to help.See question
Is there any time that an executor of a living trust has to report to a court like to officially close the distribution or begin distribution. Does he at any time have to report to a court about his actions? Is he completely on his own and can d...
Generally speaking, people create Revocable Living Trusts ("RLTs") to avoid oversight by the probate court at times of disability and/or death. However, I caution everyone to start their analysis with the trust instrument itself. If, for some bizarre reason, the Grantor of the trust included a requirement for some type of oversight by the court of a trustee's actions in closing the trust estate, the Trustee with be in breach of the requirement of the trust instrument if they failed to have the court bless the closing of the trust estate. Again, start with the trust instrument first. If there is no requirement in the trust instrument for court oversight or approval for settlement of the trust estate (which, by the way, I have never actually seen included in an RLT document), then there should not be any need to report to the court. To be safe, the Trustee should have qualified legal counsel review the trust instrument and determine the Trustee's responsibilities to the court and the beneficiaries.See question
I disclaimed 40 percent of my husbands estate to the trust 1 million dollars worth of real estate.
The answer is "it depends." Assuming you disclaimed the assets into the trust as a individual beneficiary (within nine months of the death by a Qualified Disclaimer), the trust is now irrevocable, you are the Trustee and the Beneficiary of the trust, and the trust instrument does not prevent you from selling the assets, then you theoretically should be able to sell the assets within the trust in your capacity as a Trustee and administer those assets pursuant to the terms of the trust for your benefit as the Beneficiary of said trust. Nevertheless, you should speak to a qualified estate planning and tax attorney in your jurisdiction to review the specifics of your case.See question
Can an Attorney who prepares a trust for a client also be the successor trustee of that same Trust because the client insists on this arrangement?
As a VA attorney, I am unable to speak specifically to CA law. However, in VA, a drafting attorney can be named as a successor trustee in the trust instrument. Although, our State Bar requires such a drafting attorney to make certain disclosures to the client client, such as: 1) the client is not obligated to name the attorney as successor trustee, 2) there are other professional trustee options available (trust company, bank, CPA, another attorney), and 3) a current example of the attorney's typical fee schedule for such service.See question

Generally speaking, a person must have the appropriate mental capacity to execute a document such as a General Durable Power of Attorney. There are different standards for capacity in different states. However, my general rule of thumb is: "does the person have the capacity to enter into a contract." If no, then they should not sign the document. If yes, then they can sign the document. Many states require that General Durable Powers of Attorney be signed in the presence of a Notary and/or two Witnesses as an additional hedge regarding the capacity issue.
If you feel that an individual in a hospital or other mental health institution is being improperly made to sign any legal documents, it may be advisable to notify the social worker for that institution and/or the administration of that facility.See question

Morels Stuffed with Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Morels vary in size; look for larger ones for stuffing.
- Servings: 8
Source: Martha Stewart Living, April 1996
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 35 large fresh morels, wiped clean
- 2 to 3 ramps (wild onions), roots and greens trimmed (greens reserved for garnish), cut into 1/8-inch rounds
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Fill a medium stockpot with water; add potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium high; boil gently, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain. Hold potatoes in a clean kitchen towel, and peel. Pass potatoes through a ricer into a medium bowl. Cover with foil, and set aside.
Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with cool water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and lemon juice. Place morels in the bowl for about 3 to 4 minutes, pushing them down into the water several times to clean them. Drain on paper towels. Gently pat dry; let stand to dry while continuing recipe.
Place ramps in cold water; let stand for 5 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Lift out of the water, drain in a colander, and pat dry. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet over low heat. Add ramps, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; saute until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
In a small saucepan (or in the microwave), combine 2 tablespoons butter, cream, and milk; bring to a boil. To the riced potatoes, add ramps, butter-cream mixture, Parmesan, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper; mix to combine well.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill a pastry bag with 1/4-inch round tip with mashed potatoes. Insert the tip into the opening at the top of a morel, and pipe potato mixture in until morel is full. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining potatoes and morels. (Stuffed morels can be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.)
In a small saucepan (or in the microwave), melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Brush tops of morels with butter, and transfer to the oven. Bake until morels are tender and potatoes are hot and slightly golden, about 20 minutes if morels are baked right away and 30 minutes if prepared the day before. Serve immediately on a bed of reserved ramp greens.

A/N: Just to let everyone know that this is Invisible Girl 12's fault! She's the one who started all this! So this one is dedicated to her and follows ElianaMargalit's piece where Gabe paid back Nat and Henry by putting fish in their back packs. The sad thing is one of my boss' kids friends got me with this just last night. It inspired the following. I'm leaving it open again so anyone else can join in the fun if they want to!
By: LOSTrocker
"You know your brother is the source of all that is evil right?" Henry asked as he and Natalie walked into the Goodman household that after noon from school.
"You think?" she returned as she threw down her back pack which still rank of fish. "Gah, I swear no matter how many times I've showered or washed that bag I can't get the smell out!"
"I know!" Henry agreed. "I try to tell our friends what happened and they don't believe me."
"Of course not," Natalie replied. "Everyone thinks that Gabe is a little angel. If they looked closer they'd find devil horns holding up that bent halo of his."
Thats when Henry smirked. Nat had no idea that he had the perfect idea to get her brother back for what they did to them. When Natalie saw that smirk of his she knew that trouble wasn't too far from behind it. "Do I even want to know whats going on in there?" she asked him pointing to the top of his head.
"You're going to have to see," Henry says. "What time does your brother get home tonight?"
Natalie looked at her watch. "What day is it? Wednesday?" Henry nodded. "Then probably around six. Thats when band lets out."
"We still have a couple of hours then." Henry made known. "Okay, we're going to study like we always do. Just go with the flow. Act normal."
"Normal?" she questioned with a raised eyebrow. "Like I even know what that is."
"Pretend that you do." Henry told her.
So, she did. They made themselves comfortable around the coffee table. Books and papers spread about them. The two dove into Chemistry, Science, and Math to help pass the time but to Natalie the time couldn't go by fast enough. She couldn't wait to find out what Henry had up his sleeve.
Six o clock on the dot Gabe came home. "He's here!" Henry announced.
"Thank you Captain Obvious!" Natalie retorted. "What happened to acting normal?"
"Right. Sorry." Henry apologized. He couldn't help it. He was getting anxious. Henry returned to his books.
"I'm home!" Gabe announced as he entered.
"Joy!" Natalie said from the floor.
Henry nudged her. He could see that Gabe's natural hair color was back.
Gabe smirked at the two. "Aww, how cute." he cooed at them. "Natalie and Henry sitting in a tree," he sang out. "Sitting in a tree, smelling all fishy!"
It took all Nat had from not charging at her brother. She glared at Henry to get him cracking unless he wanted to see Gabe physically go down.
Henry got up. Gabe went to block himself. Henry put his hands. "I think we're all getting tired of this." he began innocently enough. "I mean we're all acting way to immature for our ages don't you think?"
Gabe was hesitant before he answered but he had to agree. As fun as it was it was getting old. "What about it?" Henry continued on with outstretched hand. "You want a trues? Bygones be bygones."
Gabe took Henry's hand into his and shook. "Yeah, okay."
"Great!" Henry said. "Well, now that we're all friends again... Do you want to study with us Gabe?"
"Sure," Gabe answered and went to join them. "I do need some study buddies for a major chem test tomorrow and you two are the only brains I know."
"Thanks... I think." Henry replied.
Natalie wasn't liking this at all. What the hell was that? Was that it? Henry wasn't done yet which she would come to find out.
"Anybody want a piece of gum?" Henry asked before they went on studying.
"Yeah!" Gabe answered. He had a date later and the fresher his breath was for that the better.
Henry pulled out a pack of gum. Gabe went to help himself. When, he did however, he didn't get a piece of gum at all. He got shocked! It felt like a bunch tiny jolts of electricity going through his body causing him to shake.
Natalie could hear the buzz from her side and burst out laughing.
When Gabe finally let go his hair was standing on ends and his finger tingled. "Oww! That hurt dammit!"
"Ha! Ha! Gotcha ya!" Henry laughed at him.
That was it. Gabe launched at Henry causing the table to turn over in the process. "Gabe! Stop it!" Natalie yelled at her brother trying to pull him off.
In the kitchen, Dan and Diana were trying to get dinner ready when they heard all the commotion from the living room. "What the heck is going on in there?" Diana asked.
Dan lead the way into the living room to find it half way destroyed. When he saw Gabe, Henry, and Natalie trying to kill each other on the floor he went to help pry them apart. Diana went to his aid. Diana managed to get her son while Dan and Natalie got Henry. Dan had to hold Henry from getting at Gabe again.
"Enough!" Dan ordered. "Whats the meaning of all this?"
"HE STARTED IT!" Gabe and Natalie yelled pointing in each others directions.
After calming everyone down, Dan had them all sitting before him on the sofa. Diana was trying very hard not to laugh at the situation but she was failing miserably.
"I don't care who started it," Dan told them. "I want it to end here. Got it?"
Natalie nodded as did Henry.
Gabe didn't.
"Gabe." Dan warned him.
"Fine." he agreed.
The kids gathered up there things and went there separate ways. When her kids were gone Diana finally let out her laughter that she was holding in. "I can't believe you think this is funny!" Dan said.
"I can't believe you don't!" Diana replied.
Dan shook his head. At this rate all his family would have to go see Dr. Madden.

What is Sigmoidoscopy?
The examination of the large intestine, from the rectum to the colon using an instrument known as a sigmoidoscope is called sigmoidoscopy. The sigmoidoscope is a flexible tube with a camera and light attached to it. This transmits images from the large intestine which can be viewed though an eyepiece or a monitor. Sigmoidoscopy is used to diagnose colon cancer. It also helps to investigate symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea and bleeding. Diagnosis of bowel obstruction, diverticulosis, colon polyps and inflammatory bowel disease can be done with the help of a sigmoidoscopy. During a sigmoidoscopy, abnormal growths can be removed and biopsy can also be conducted.
