IVAW Operation Recovery Launches Today
Activism | Afghanistan | Iraq | Militarism | National Protests | Peace & Justice | Politics | Veterans
Submitted by tnjp on October 7, 2010 - 8:20pm.
Operation Recovery launches publicly today
You can do your part to raise awareness by sending a Letter to the Editor of your local paper. Click here to send a Letter to your local Editor. We've made it easy.
Today's Action
Today's launch marks the beginning of Phase One of our campaign. Over the next several weeks, we will work to investigate the issues, decide which officials will become our campaign's targets, and work to raise awareness about the campaign.
That's where you come in.....
You can help spread the word by sending a Letter to the Editor of your local paper about the issue of traumatized troops. We've provided some language for you to use, so it's real easy.
Click here to send a Letter to the Editor of your local paper.
With the number of troop suicides now surpassing the total combat-related deaths in Afghanistan, we've got to bring this madness to an end.
We know that these wars cannot continue without using exhausted and traumatized troops, and we are determined to stop their deployment.
Send a Letter to the Editor of your local paper today and get the word out.
And stay tuned for updates on today's campaign launch.
Wish us luck!
In Solidarity,
The Campaign Team
P.S. With the help of supporters like you, we surpassed our goal of getting 2,000 pledges of support for Operation Recovery. It feels good to know that 3,500 supporters will be standing with us today. Thank you!
IVAW follow-up
Yesterday, in our nation's capitol, Iraq Veterans Against the War's Operation Recovery Campaign to Stop the Deployment of Traumatized Troops was launched. This marks the beginning of what will be a long offensive to hold those accountable who are deploying troops who have been traumatized by war.
The first step is raising awareness, and we achieved that with our successful action yesterday. We received a lot of press coverage in mainstream and alternative press, and even made it into the day's White House press briefing in the following back-and-forth between a reporter and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs:
Q There's a large group of veterans who participated in Afghanistan and Iraq and they're demonstrating today. They're asking that people with PTSD and traumatic brain injury not be sent back, and they're saying that this has contributed to quite a large amount of suicides in the military. Is the President aware of this? Is he communicating with them in any way?
Clearly Mr. Gibbs and the White House are far-removed from the consequences of their war policies, or else they would know that the DOD's operational procedures are the problem!
How it went down
You can see a short clip of the letter-reading where Capitol police attempt to stop member, Jason Hurd, from reading the letter, but he won't be stopped. Watch the clip.
Stay tuned for a thorough media coverage round-up next week, or find information on our website at www.ivaw.org/operation-recovery.
Thank you for your support!
In Solidarity,
IVAW needs your help with Operation Recovery!
We are still energized from last Thursday's action that launched Operation Recovery, our campaign to Stop the Deployment of Traumatized Troops. We got some terrific news coverage for the campaign like this story done by Al Jazeera English: http://english.aljazeera.net/video/americas/2010/10/201010825525105293.h... and this interview on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/bestoftv/2010/10/07/veterans.aga... with our Northeast Field Organizer, Chantelle Bateman.
We were inspired by troops in Afghanistan who saw our actions on T.V. and posted messages of support on Facebook. One soldier wrote:
Will you support our continued work with a financial contribution? You can donate here: http://ivaw.org/support.
The Work Ahead
Over the weekend, we gathered for a meeting in Philadelphia to continue planning for the rest of the campaign. We spent two days evaluating our work so far and carefully mapping out the work ahead. We are proud of the fact that we have accomplished so much with so little, but we know we will need more resources to keep the campaign going.
Your financial support now can make a huge difference.
*Will you make a gift today?*
Donate now by clicking here: http://ivaw.org/support.
With our Operation Recovery Campaign, we will support service members standing up for their right to heal, and we will stand against those responsible for violating that right.
We will expose those responsible for the deployment of traumatized troops, demand they end this inhumane practice, and back our demands up with collective action.
We will end these wars by winning our right to heal. We know that without the repeated use of traumatized soldiers on the battlefield, the occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan could not continue.
Support Operation Recovery with a generous donation today: http://ivaw.org/support.
An influx of funds right now will:
*Support our investigation of military bases that are deploying traumatized troops on psychotropic medications.
There is a lot of work to be done over the next few months, and your donation today will keep our momentum going.
Make a gift now by clicking here: http://ivaw.org/support.
Thank you for your support!

More than 160 cyclists and pedestrians were killed in crashes during the third year of the mayor's Vision Zero initiative meant to curb such deaths, an increase from the previous two years, according to a city report released Thursday.Traffic deaths overall — including motorists and passengers — in the past year were the lowest recorded since the city started keeping records of those deaths in 1910. But cyclist and pedestrian deaths in 2016 were higher than in 2015 or 2014, the first year of Mayor Bill de Blasio's safety initiative, data shows.
This was his big initiative. "Vision Zero" bumper stickers are on all taxis and official vehicles. This was his crowning achievement.
And much like everything else he touches, it failed.

Despite all the research and writing on the B2B buyer's journey, quite a lot of B2B marketers still believe that "my buyers aren't looking for us in search."
Their assumption is that the customer in a position to buy a six- or seven-figure (or larger) piece of equipment or service is going to be deeply experienced and already know who the main providers are, and that's who they're going to request bids from. The evidence suggests otherwise.
For example, if you search for 'healthcare IT consulting' the results include paid ads from Accenture, Dell, Siemens and many others:
Why would they waste their marketing efforts and budget if no one important was searching? They aren't, because the buyers are.
According to Google, approximately 260 searches are done monthly on that term in the United States, and 320 globally.
Obviously that's not huge numbers, but a single contract for healthcare IT services is worth a lot and the lifetime value of the customer could be several times higher, so it's worth paying over $20 per click to Google.
If you look at some related long-tail keywords, the search numbers can be much higher. More than 720 people a month search for 'top healthcare consulting firms', over 1,600 search for 'IT consulting services', and so on.
Suggested bids on the various keywords range from those with low competition and under a dollar costs per click ('information protection policy'), to terms such as 'Enterprise security services' and 'cloud computing security' with high competition that has bid them up to over $40 per click – and in some cases much higher.
A consumer might search on a term like 'CT scan', but a hospital or healthcare provider would be more likely to be searching for 'CT scan equipment', which can cost more than $1m for one scanner.
So, again, major vendors advertise on it, and their ads and organic listings are seen by about 90 searchers globally each month, or close to 1,000 annually.
The numbers vary considerably from industry to industry, but the fact that big-ticket B2B buyers are searching is clear by both the number of searches and that certain keywords are highly competitive and have been bid up beyond a dollar or two per click.
Here are 10 other examples of big ticket B2B keywords:
|Monthly Global Searches
|Suggested Bid
|Marketing automation software
|Business online storage
|Network managed services
|Cloud security companies
|Custom trade show exhibits
|Trade show displays
|Help desk software
|Master data management vendors
|Office reburishment London
|Local SEO company
And, again, each of these keywords has many long-tail companions that increase those monthly searches many times over.
For example, in addition to those 210 search for 'cloud security companies' there are another 210 searches for 'cloud security solutions' (with a suggested bid of more than $55/click) and about as many for the valuable 'virtualization cloud computing' ($108.91/click) with advertisers such as EMC, Intel, Microsoft, SAP and Google.
According to IDG Connect, 58% of B2B IT buyers use search during the buying process. What are those people searching for?
They typically consume seven or eight pieces of content while researching. Early in the buying process they're often doing broad industry searches and then they focus in more on solutions and ultimately research on particular, short-list vendors.
The most advanced companies aren't just using PPC ads but they're also creating content that addresses the concerns of each member of the buying team during each stage of the process.
Considering that it can take dozens or, in many cases, hundreds of clicks to produce one sale, these high cost-per-click on low-volume B2B keywords show that they are worth it.
At the same time the low search volumes show that those advertisers can't rely solely on a search or inbound strategy. No doubt they also use targeted accounts programs, ads in industry publications, exhibits at tradeshows and other means to reach their very specific markets.
That's what omnichannel marketing is all about.

My theory has always been that you're sometimes not marketing to the buyer, but to "whoever was free that day" and ended up checking that enough names are included on the initial list of possible suppliers.
Once you're on that list, you've got a chance.
Hello there, this is very useful and appreciating blog, each and every steps, the explanation images are well built and explained.
I agree with Pete.
With the CT Scan Equipment example however, I did notice that ask.com were first place. This makes me question the cost per click to CLV, and conversion hypothesis's. Why are ask.com paying for such costly keywords?
When you are a big player having a presence if it converts, or not, is not a huge problem. Louis, I would say, and like to see mind, an analysis of the buyer lifecycle keywords to support the assumptions in this article.
I am assuming that generic keywords move to more specialised ones. I would be interested to know how much those terms cost, and their strategy. Perhaps getting some comment from the PPC department / company would help clarify this article.
I would say that perhaps ask.com pay less, as their advert is very targeted and relevant, or perhaps, the big players actually spend a lot less through negotiating a bulk one off payment with their Google Account Manager?
You might be interested in our new technology. We do online advertising with social network and business directory in the same website at www.bebuzee.com
Great article. I would add to this that a critical item to measure for these search ads is phone conversions. I've seen some great research from Google on the importance of phone calls in search campaigns, and how buyers want to call businesses throughout the buyer's journey. You can see that data on p.11 of the Google study (http://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/research-studies/click-to-call.html). If you aren't measuring calls from your Google ads, your analytics could be way off -- and this goes double for these big-ticket search campaigns will high costs per conversion. Ifbyphone has a white paper on tracking calls from Google that explains more: http://public.ifbyphone.com/landingpage/marketers-guide-to-call-tracking-for-google-seo-and-ppc/
Very important point made there Blair. The important of Phone conversion in Business should not be overlooked. I read a post on this once http://blog.netpeak.us/4-reasons-why-phone-calls-are-still-important-for-business/ and it has changed the way I see the role phone call play in increasing ROI.

Top seeds could be tested on road
Some early round lower seeds to have home court advantage
Another year, another NCAA tournament road game for St. John's.
It's almost become a running joke with the Red Storm's women's basketball staff.
For the third consecutive season, coach Kim Barnes Arico and her third-seeded Red Storm may play an opponent on its home court in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
"I have a stomachache about it," Barnes Arico said, laughing. "We've done it multiple times now. You put yourself in a position to get a great seed and then you get rewarded having to play on someone else's home court. That said, we beat UConn at home, so we showed we can win anywhere."
|Notre Dame
This time the Red Storm will have some company on the road as six of the eight No. 2 and No. 3 seeds may play an opponent on their home court or in their home city in the opening two rounds that begin Saturday. Throw in fourth-seeded Penn State and there are seven of the Top 16 teams that could be playing on an opponent's home court. That's the second-most since 2000. In 2004, nine teams played on an opponent's home court according to STATS LLC.
St. John's, which opens against Creighton, lost in the second round to Florida State and Stanford the past two seasons. In those games, the Red Storm were the lower-seeded team. This year they are the higher seed after a spectacular season. If the seeds play out, the Red Storm would meet No. 6 Oklahoma on its home court.
"Home-court advantage makes a huge difference," Barnes Arico said. "I saw the Oklahoma game against UConn, how many people did they have in the stands? That place was rocking."
Putting together the NCAA bracket is one giant jigsaw puzzle. The selection committee tries to make every piece fit using a certain list of procedures and principles.
This year, the group was in a bind because many of the host schools for the opening two rounds were going to be seeded in the lower half of the bracket. Only four of the top 16 teams in the tournament were sites for the first two rounds, leaving many of the higher seeds left to potentially play on opposing floors.
The committee spent hours trying to avoid that situation. They actually had three brackets working at once, but in the end it was impossible to make it work.
"We wanted to protect the No. 1 seeds," NCAA selection committee chair Greg Christopher said. "Given the host sites we had this year, we had issues with higher-seed teams playing on lower-seed's courts. We had some No. 1 seeds playing on host sites. We wanted to do everything to protect those No. 1 seeds. The ramification of that is you have two or three seed teams playing on lower seeded court."
Second-seed Duke could have to play at No. 7 Vanderbilt; No. 2 Kentucky could play at 10th-ranked Iowa State and No. 2 Tennessee could face seventh-seeded DePaul. Those three lower seeded hosts are a combined 44-5 at home this season.
The Blue Devils, who have hosted the first two rounds the last two seasons, are no stranger to facing an opponent on their home court. In 2009, coach Joanne P. McCallie and her top-seeded Duke squad had to visit her former school Michigan State. The Blue Devils ended up losing to the Spartans.
"After a while you know that some things are out of your control," McCallie said. "You just control what you can control. Our team is young and they will be challenged."
The three seeds aren't much better off. Besides St. John's, Delaware and the nation's leading scorer Elena Delle Donne will have to visit Arkansas-Little Rock in their opener. Miami will have to travel across country to face Gonzaga on its home court in the second round if both teams advance.
"We knew we're going to have some top teams that were going to be challenged," committee member Kathy Meehan said. "We tried to work the bracket many times to minimize that, but it just wasn't possible to have all of higher seeds protected."
What may help the committee in the future is the opening-round sites are now selected one year in advance instead of two. Nine of the top 16 seeds this year are hosting next season, including St. John's.

Su bmit news[release]
More than 100 credit cards available at uscards.com
Monsanto's 1996 Journal of Nutrition study [14] , [15] provides plenty of examples of scientific transgressions. Roundup Ready soybeans are engineered to withstand the normally fatal effects of Monsanto's herbicide called Roundup. Monsanto scientists published a feeding study that purported to test their soybeans' effect on rats, catfish, chickens, and cows. The study has been used often by the industry as validation for safety claims. According to Dr. Arpad Pusztai, however, "It was obvious that the study had been designed to avoid finding any problems. Everybody in our consortium knew this." Pusztai was commissioned at the time by the UK government to develop rigorous testing protocols on GM foods—protocols that were never implemented. Pusztai, who had published several studies in that same nutrition journal, said the Monsanto paper was "not really up to the normal journal standards." Pusztai says that if he had been asked to referee the paper for publication, "it would never have passed." He's confident that even his graduate assistants would have taken the study apart in short order. Some of the flaws include:
In Pryme and Lembcke's analysis, it came as no surprise that this Monsanto study, along with the other four peer-reviewed animal feeding studies that were "performed more or less in collaboration with private companies," reported no negative effects of the GM diet. "On the other hand," they wrote, "adverse effects were reported (but not explained) in [the five] independent studies." They added, "It is remarkable that these effects have all been observed after feeding for only 10–14 days." [19]
Two GM foods whose commercialization was stopped because of negative test results give a chilling example of what may be getting through. Rats fed GM potatoes had potentially precancerous cell growth in the stomach and intestines, less developed brains, livers, and testicles, partial atrophy of the liver, and damaged immune systems. [20] GM peas provoked an inflammatory response in mice, suggesting that the peas might trigger a deadly anaphylactic shock in allergic humans. [21] Both of these dangerous crops, however, could easily have been approved. The problems were only discovered because the researchers used advanced tests that were never applied to GM crops already on the market. Both would have passed the normal tests that companies typically use to get their products approved.
Ironically, when Monsanto was asked to comment on the pea study, their spokesperson said it demonstrated that the regulatory system works. He failed to disclose that none of the company's GM crops had been put through such rigorous tests.
Industry-funded research that favors the funders is not new. Bias has been identified across several industries. In pharmaceuticals, for example, positive results are four times more likely if the drug's manufacturer funds the study. [22] When companies pay for the economic analyses of their own cancer drugs, the results are eight times more likely to be favorable. [23] Compared to drug research, the potential for industry manipulation in GM crop studies is considerably higher. Unlike pharmaceutical testing, GM research has no standardized procedures dictated by regulators. GM studies are not usually published in peer-reviewed journals and are typically kept secret by companies and governments. There is little money available for rigorous independent research, so company evidence usually goes unchallenged and unverified. Most importantly, whereas drugs can show serious side-effects and still be approved, GM food cannot. There is no tolerance for adverse reactions; feeding trials must show no problems.
Thus, when industry studies show problems (in spite of their efforts to avoid them), serious adverse reactions and even deaths among GM-fed animals are ignored or dismissed as "not biologically significant " or due to "natural variation s."
Numerous reports including peer-reviewed articles and part 3 of the book Genetic Roulette are replete with examples of rigged research. But making these public does not seem to curtail its practice. Consider the wormy corn of the British Food Journal. Not only has the editor refused to retract the paper, he has not even agreed to reconsider its Award for Excellence. A blatant propaganda exercise still stands validated as exemplary science.
In the critical arena of food safety research, where the health of society is caught in the balance, it is entirely unacceptable that the biotech industry is without accountability, standards, or peer-review. At our expense, they've got bad science down to a science.
Jeffrey M. Smith is the author of the new publication Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, which presents 65 risks in easy-to-read two-page spreads. His first book, Seeds of Deception, is the top rated and #1 selling book on GM foods in the world. He is the Executive Director of the Institute for Responsible Technology, which is spearheading the Campaign for Healthier Eating in America.

NY brewery builds Christmas tree out of 300 kegs
Published:Friday | December 12, 2014 | 12:00 AM
A western New York brewery has constructed a Christmas tree out of hundreds of beer kegs. All that's missing is the beer.
The Genesee Brewing Co. in Rochester built a 23-foot-high Christmas tree out of 300 stainless steel kegs outsides its Brew House in downtown Rochester.
The keg tree is trimmed with 600 feet of green lights and topped by a rotating Genesee sign. More than 20 of Genesee's 'elves', also known as employees, got to work designing and building the keg tree.
Alas, beer lovers, the kegs are empty. But when the tree is dismantled, the company says the kegs will return to the production line and be refilled once again.
The official public-lighting ceremony is set for next Thursday evening.

American exceptionalism
Herewith a couple of self-explanatory graphs from a recent issue of the journal Nature. Click to enlarge.
Canadians, for example, spend half as much per capita -- public and private -- on health care as Americans and live on average three years longer. We are also informed by Nature that in such measures as infant mortality, obesity, cancer survival rates, length of patient stays in hospital and the discrepancy between the care of high- versus low-income groups, the U. S. fares middling to poor.
The problem is not the science. American medical science and technology leaves little to be desired. Almost half of all Nobel Prizes in Medicine (Physiology or Medicine) have been awarded to Americans.
The author of the Nature article focused on reorganizing the National Institutes of Health to better link primary research to patient outcomes. There are, of course, other players in our healthcare fiasco. Politicians. Healthcare providers. Insurance companies. Pharmaceutical companies. Lawyers. Oh yes, and patients. In my lifetime there has been only one serious attempt (by the Clintons) to bring all the players to the table. It crashed in a storm of recriminations and suspicion. An unworthy outcome for so great a nation.

Buffett on what could cause damage to Berkshire
Buffett says that Berkshire is structured to handle stresses. He notes that an "invasion of different thought" that changes the company's values is a small risk. He adds that weapons of mass destruction are also a risk, but he regards that as a low probability.

LINDEN – Police are seeking information about two suspects who allegedly used credit cards stolen from an Elizabeth woman earlier this month.
The victim, a 31-year-old Elizabeth resident, saw the two suspects when she went to Julien's Army/Navy Store on North Wood Avenue in Linden on Aug. 10 to inquire about the unauthorized use of her cards. She went to confront them and they ran away.
The victim told police that her car had been stolen in Elizabeth with the credit cards inside. During their search for the suspect, Linden police recovered the key to a Mercedes and other stolen property that had been dropped.
Police are asking anyone with information about the suspects to contact Linden Detective Kevin Mikolajczyk at 908-474-8530 or via email at email@example.com.

They trust each other's opinions about fashion, hair, and makeup. They trust each other with much more important things than that, like relationships with significant others, education, and careers. When a girl is wrestling with a tough decision at 3 a.m., she's not going to sleep until she hits her bestie's speed dial and talks it out. She knows that the sleepy voice on the other end of the line is going to sit up and listen.
There's a girl code that besties don't cross. Help other girls in need. Girls take care of girls. Don't go after another girl's man. Don't go after a man that another girl is thinking of going after. It's all of these unwritten rules that allow girls to develop deep and lasting relationships that rival any other relationship in a girl's life.
Cindy Jenks wanted to create a blog that celebrates the special relationship that only girls can have with other girls. Besides doing a makeover on each other or gossiping with their feet side by side in the pedicure bath, girls want to enjoy some entertainment girly-style.
Cindy dedicates this blog to girls that want to have fun. It's a "no boys allowed" zone where girls can plan a special night out, a weekend trip, or a getaway girls' vacation.

Inspired by London-based choclatier Charbonnel et Walker's delicious Sea Salted Caramel Truffles, the new scent contains notes of liquid caramel, sea salt, tonka bean, oakmoss, bourbon vanilla and sandalwood. Although it may sound sickly sweet, the salty and earthy base make this extremely wearable. Like the moreish chocolates that inspired it, the fragrance is delightfully uplifting and playful, while remaining classically sophisticated. Even those of us that usually hate sweet scents will love this individual concoction.
If you're not familiar with Charbonnel et Walker, they're a London-based manufacturer of handmade chocolates and truffles - as well as being the chocolatier to The Queen herself. Their little balls of deliciousness are extremely exclusive, found in a little boutique five minutes walk from The Ritz. This partnership is a match made in heaven, with Shay & Blue being equally as exclusive and appreciated for its expertise.
With this level of detail you'd expect their fragrances to cost a small fortune, but at £55.00 for a 100ml bottle they're actually cheaper than a mass bottle you'd pick up in Selfridges. Although the Salt Caramel scent doesn't launch until September, it's well worth waiting for. In the meantime, why not have a look at their other scents and discover the brand in their Marylebone based boutique? It's practically perfect in every way.
Shay & Blue fragrances are available online, as well as in Fenwicks and Marks & Spencer.

The high-speed freeway system in and around Los Angeles intersects, crisscrosses and unexpectedly diverts onto off ramps and into detours.
The freeways are a perfect metaphor for the intricate, fast-moving plot of Michael Connelly's latest novel, The Lincoln Lawyer.
Widely praised for his best-selling series featuring on-again, off-again LAPD detective Harry Bosch, Connelly again has taken one of his occasional forays into a stand-alone novel filled with new characters and new twists but still grounded in the crime genre.
The Lincoln Lawyer is Connelly's first legal thriller and is one of the best novels he has written, if not the best. That's high praise for an author whose 15 other books - including The Poet, Bloodwork, which was made into a movie starring Clint Eastwood, The Closers and The Narrows- are hailed as models of crime writing.
The protagonist here is L.A. defense attorney Mickey Haller, who makes the best use of his time by doing most of his work from the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car, hence, the book's title.
Setting the novel in sprawling Los Angeles County, home to dozens of courthouses, provides Haller a seemingly endless number of potential clients.
His driver, Earl, is a former client who acts as chauffeur to pay off his legal fees. Even though most of Haller's clients are drug dealers and users, bikers and prostitutes, he's always on the lookout for "a franchise," someone who can pay top rates for his services.
Enter playboy Louis Roulet, who is accused of beating and threatening prostitute Regina Campo. Haller is hired to defend him. But this new source of income - and lots of it - is also the source of terror, murder and much philosophical rumination.
There are so many things to admire about The Lincoln Lawyer that one hopes Connelly is planting the seeds for a whole new series.
First, Connelly is able to create a rooting interest for a protagonist of questionable motivation. This sometimes amoral lawyer admits to being in the business for the money and the victories, yet he remains likable. Even his two ex-wives love him.
Then there are the details.Connelly does his homework. His Bosch novels are steeped in the workings of the LAPD and the criminal underbelly of the City of Angels. Similarly, his Haller novel is infused with court procedure, and the banter among cops, lawyers, judges and defendants rings true.
The Lincoln Lawyer is available as a mass market paperback, an audiobook, an eBook, and in large print format in the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
Listen to an an excerpt from the Time Warner Audiobooks release, read by Adam Grupper.
Is there nothing Michael Connelly can't do? After taking ownership of police procedurals with his Harry Bosch series, Connelly tries his hand at a Scott Turow-style legal thriller. And he nails it.
The Lincoln Lawyer focuses on Mickey Haller, a Los Angeles defense attorney who knows the ins and outs of the system, especially as they pertain to his cash flow.
Haller thinks he's got it made when he lands a "franchise client," a wealthy real estate agent accused of viciously attacking a prostitute. The client, Louis Roulet, adamantly maintains his innocence, and Haller thinks the case will be a slam dunk.
He's wrong. The case spirals out of Haller's control as it becomes increasingly clear that Roulet is harboring a secret or two (not least his past involvement in other cases, one of which may have resulted in another of Haller's clients going to San Quentin).
This gives "The Lincoln Lawyer" two exciting shots of adrenaline: the lawyer defending someone he knows to be guilty of terrible deeds (including the murder of a friend), and the scheme he concocts to set things right without violating the attorney-client privilege and being disbarred.
Connelly's work has it all -- sharply drawn, engaging characters, snappy dialogue and a plot that moves like a shot of Red Bull. As with Turow, he also understands that a good legal thriller is primarily about the law, not lawyers acting like crime-fighters. It's amazing how many authors seem to forget that.

When I recently finished The Closers I was excited to see Bosch back and raved about the book. I rushed out and bought The Lincoln Lawyer and discovered this to be even better. Rarely do I finish a book in two days, but I literally couldn't put this one down. I haven't been this excited about a great book since Matthew Farrell's Winter Hill and Harlan Coden's The Innocent. Great Great Great read!!!!

Connelly proves he can do no wrong with a legal thriller that blows Grisham, Martini and company out of the water. This has all the authenticity, grit and soul of the Bosch series, it's just presented from the other side of the system.
David J. Forsmark (Flushing, MI United States)
The morning air off the Mojave in late winter is as clean and crisp as you'll ever breathe in Los Angeles County. It carries the taste of promise on it. When it starts blowing in like that I like to keep a window open in my office. There are a few people who know this routine of mine, people like Fernando Valenzuela. The bondsman, not the baseball pitcher. He called me as I was coming into Lancaster for a 9 o'clock calendar call. He must have heard the wind whistling in my cell phone.
"Mick," he said, "you up north this morning?"
"At the moment," I said as I put the window up to hear him better. "You got something?"
"Yeah, I got something. I think I got a franchise player here. But his first appearance is at eleven. Can you make it back down in time?"
Valenzuela has a storefront office on Van Nuys Boulevard a block from the civic center, which includes two courthouses and the Van Nuys jail. He calls his business Liberty Bail Bonds. His phone number, in red neon on the roof of his establishment, can be seen from the high power wing on the third floor of the jail. His number is scratched into the paint on the wall next to every pay phone on every other ward in the jail.
You could say his name is also permanently scratched onto my Christmas list. At the end of the year I give a can of salted nuts to everybody on it.
Planter's Holiday Mix. Each can has a ribbon and bow on it. But no nuts inside. Just cash. I have a lot of bail bondsmen on my Christmas list. I eat Holiday Mix out of Tupperware well into Spring. Since my last divorce, it is sometimes all I get for dinner.
Before answering Valenzuela's question I thought about the calendar call I was headed to. My client was named Harold Casey. If the docket was handled alphabetically I could make an 11 o'clock hearing down in Van Nuys, no problem. But Judge Orton Powell was in his last term on the bench. He was retiring. That meant he no longer faced re-election pressures, like those from the private bar. To demonstrate his freedom - and possibly as a form of payback to those he had been politically beholden to for 12 years - he liked to mix things up in his courtroom. Sometimes the calendar went alphabetical, sometimes reverse alphabetical, sometimes by filing date. You never knew how the call would go until you got there. Often lawyers cooled their heels for better than an hour in Powell's courtroom. The judge liked that.
"I think I can make eleven," I said, without knowing for sure. "What's the case?"
"Guy's gotta be big money. Beverly Hills address, family lawyer waltzing in here first thing. This is the real thing, Mick. They booked him on a half mil and his mother's lawyer came in here today ready to sign over property in Malibu to secure it. Didn't even ask about getting it lowered first. I guess they aren't too worried about him running."
"Booked for what?" I asked.
