Our Divorce Philosophy
At Lifson Law, we have a well-established philosophy to guide our clients through the divorce process. Through persistence and thorough and respectful advocacy, we pursue your legal rights while taking into consideration your objectives. We help you take a practical approach to your case.
We also provide representation for clients in need of assistance when circumstances have significantly changed, and the court order entered at an earlier time may no longer be appropriate. We also assist in helping to enforce a court order that is not being followed.
What We can do in Your Divorce
At Lifson Law, we make sure that you can have confidence in working with a veteran of family law and that you also receive the counsel of someone who cares about you and your case. A divorce attorney can take on many roles in the divorce process, including:
- Counselor: We help you look at and think about the realities of your situation. We help you make reasonable decisions and enhance your access to information.
- Negotiator: We can employ various negotiating approaches to address your needs. We can help you explore the options and opportunities available in a traditional legal format, through the collaboration law process, or in mediation.
- Advocate: The protection of your interests is our mandate at all times. When you need someone you can trust on your side, we will exceed your expectations.
- Litigator: We advocate to protect your rights when pretrial settlement efforts do not result in a satisfactory resolution.
We will be with you during this difficult time. We strive to help you achieve a manageable and hopeful future at the end of a difficult process.
Divorce if you are a Federal Worker, State Worker, or Military Personnel
There are special considerations associated with those who serve the public as federal or state workers or as military personnel. If you are employed by the government and are seeking divorce representation, it is important to consult with a family law attorney who is aware of how family law relates to members of the military and federal or state workers.
We also provide mediation services to allow for a possible resolution of your matter which may keep you out of court and save you money.

No Risk Growth – you only pay for the subscriptions we generate
magazine.co.uk is owned by Jellyfish CoNNect Ltd. We have been perfecting our subscription sales model within the publishing sector since 2004, working with both high profile titles as well as smaller niche ones.
Online Marketing
We market publishers' titles using paid search, e-mail marketing, facebook and the Google Display Network to name just a few. We also have a proven track record for delivering acquisitions in volume and within a predetermined Cost Per Acquisition (CPA).
Risk Free Model
The key advantage for you is that we'll grow your subscription base on a completely risk free model – putting the money behind the marketing, delivering a guaranteed return on investment as opposed to a speculative marketing expense.
By offering a guaranteed fixed Cost Per Acquisition the onus is on us to deliver the required CPA. As our revenue is directly proportional to the new subscriptions generated, rest assured we'll be striving to grow the number of acquisitions.
Our Subscribers
Almost 50% of our customers subscribe to magazines as gifts for other people, so by promoting heavily at key times of year like Christmas, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentines and other key events is paramount. During these times we would expect to at least treble our normal monthly subscription volumes.
As an average, we normally see a 40-70% retention rate in the first year, therefore having only paid for the initial acquisition, the lifetime value of your subscribers should prove to be extremely profitable.

Nani might still be on the bench, but a January sighting might solve Sir Alex Ferguson's problem with the winger.
Paul Ince's son Tom Ince looks like the perfect answer to United's own youth revolution and the problem of being short on the wings.
Juventus seem eager to sweep Nani away from the Premier League and Sir Alex has already spoken about young Ince following in his father's footsteps at United.
Ince, currently at Blackpool, has been rated better than Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott by manager Ian Holloway and his pedigree will be a bug draw.
With Ashely Young and Valencia both coming back from injuries, Ince might be the Nani answer.
However, Blackpool boss Ian Holloway was quoted by The Sun as saying Tom Ince will not be sold on the cheap.
Holloway is reported to value Ince, 20, at more than £10m.
Holloway said: "I can't keep our players, but I'm working with them to get them to a United or an Arsenal.
"I don't think Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott are better than him. If Arsenal had bought him, he would be playing for England now," he said.
The ball is now clearly in United's half.
Another Ince perfect move for Fergie and Old Trafford.

Think And Grow Rich – Specialised Knowledge
Specialised Knowledge – Ask For Help
Specialised Knowledge creates solid foundations for your desire. It is essential to specialise in a field of expertise. People will come to YOU for your specialism. Trying to be a jack-of-all-trades really does mean a master of none, as your potential clients don't really know exactly what service you offer and tend to go to the person who specialises.
You see, knowledge isn't power; the USE of knowledge is power. The great news is, successful people don't know everything, nor do they hold off their dreams until they have learned everything. They find the specialists who know what they need to know to make their dreams come true. Identifying the knowledge required for your success enables you to surround yourself with people who have that knowledge. They can assist in your achievement.
This is important if you:
- Don't like or never ask for help
- Feel you have to prove to someone you can do something
- Feel overwhelmed with trying to do everything
- Don't know how exactly to achieve your desire
The Look And Grow RICH image for Specialised Knowledge is a person reaching out for palliative care expertise. When a person needs help to achieve better health quickly and efficiently asking for help and finding experts is the first thing we do. The same thing applies to your desire. No one can achieve alone… we can try and move forward but there is only so much…time in the day and life is short. An educated person orchestrates knowledge of other people combined only with their on specialism. This is when knowledge can reach it's real power.
- Find people with the skills you need to achieve, from a cleaner to the best accountant or investor, will mean you live the life of your dreams in the quickest possible time.
- Without knowledge your dreams have no foundation. Without action towards dreams becoming reality, your knowledge is just a hobby.
- Seek council from your mastermind group. Someone may see something you haven't. Make sure you or someone you respect and trust can cross all the "t's" and dot all the "i's" before you move forward with confidence.
Building on the Autosuggestion principle, Specialised Knowledge will help you create more confidence in the belief that you CAN achieve your dreams and goals. Working with others whose knowledge can support your aim will fuel your imagination to take your dreams to their full potential.
Often when a circumstance doesn't have the result you were aiming for, ask yourself if you had enough specialised knowledge or if you were using the right people for the knowledge. Knowledge of a situation helps to remove doubt. Should doubt start to creep in ask 'what else I need to know?' Lack of knowledge keeps us in a place of ignorance and we make uninformed decisions based on ignorant knowledge, which may lead to your downfall.
Gaining the appropriate knowledge will increase your burning desire and give you the faith to develop your life as you have chosen. Noting how the principles stack on top of one another, 'Autosuggestion' prepares the mind for seeking the relevant knowledge and prevents time wasted on gathering unnecessary knowledge in order to maintain focus on the desired outcome.

About Cinequest
A vanguard organization set in the Silicon Valley, Cinequest fuses the worlds of the filmed arts and technology to empower artists, innovators, and audiences to create and connect - driving transformations and a better tomorrow. Cinequest's uniqueness and impact result from being ahead of the curve in the powerful integration of creativity and innovation. Cinequest does this through Cinequest Film & VR Festival, Picture The Possibilities by Cinequest and (our sister company) Cinequest Mavericks Studio.
Cinequest Film & VR Festival
Voted Best Film Festival by USA Today Readers.
Cinequest Film & VR Festival (CQFF) in San Jose / Silicon Valley: Set in the home of the world's most influential media technology companies (Apple, Cisco, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, LinkedIn etc.) CQFF showcases premier films, renowned and emerging artists, and breakthrough technology—empowering global connectivity between creators, innovators and audiences. Cinequest has led the world in its showcase and implementation of the innovations that have revolutionized film making, exhibition and distribution.
CQFF's highest honor, the Maverick Award, recognizes bold, visionary and creative forces—exemplary in the worlds of Silicon Valley innovation and the film arts. Its Maverick Spirit Awards recognizes artists (Harrison Ford, J.J. Abrams, Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ben Kingsley, Kevin Spacey and Sir Ian McKellen are amongst the guest recipients). Its Maverick Innovator Award recognizes technologists (including Martin Cooper, father of the cell phone). A Maverick stands apart from the crowd willing to create and innovate from a place of personal yet global vision.
Although over 100,000 attend CQFF, the three-block proximity of its state-of-the-art venues along with Cinequest's renowned hospitality, makes the festival experience as warm and personal as it is electrifying. Cinequest presents over 90 World and U.S. premieres with groundbreaking innovations by 700+ participating filmmakers from over 50 countries each year.
What People Are Saying...
"I think the most important thing about Cinequest is it's definitely the first time I've ever come to a festival where my immediate reaction is, 'What do I have to do to be invited back?' and that's not normally my reaction. It's a perfect film festival in a glorious place." — Neil Gaiman, Maverick Spirit Award Winner
"Move over Cannes! Of the more than 4,000 film festivals around the globe, more than half take place on U.S. soil, and many rank among the best of the best. Our panel of film experts, movie buffs and festival gurus were tasked with narrowing down the field to the best 20 film festivals in the nation before we turned it over to USA TODAY and 10Best readers to choose their favorites. After four weeks of voting, we have a winner. Cinequest Voted Best Film Festival!" — USA Today
"Cinequest is the cure...while we're here, we're in a world that's different." — Harry Knowles, Ain't It Cool News
"This festival is one that sets the trends and is actually ahead of the trends. Other festivals are copying Cinequest; I see it all the time." — Chris Gore, Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide and Film Threat
"The film and technology forums delved into the important realms of integrating internet delivery into the home entertainment environment, creating true Internet revenue streams for film artists, and effectively leveraging the budding mobile marketplace." — Forbes Magazine
"If you can get away to San Jose at the end of the month you will be blown away by their Cinequest Film Festival. It is going to be a state-of-the-art digital extravaganza like you've probably never seen." — Harry Knowles, Ain't It Cool News
"Cinequest has consistently managed to pull in heavyweight guests." — Dennis Harvey, Variety
"Technology always drives the film business. In Cinequest, we have a good window on the future. I think they're leading the world in this regard." — Peter Belsito, Executive Vice President, Film Finders
"At Cinequest you often haven't heard of the film before you go see it, but the audiences come anyway. That's a testament to the festival -- that audiences are willing to take that leap of faith."
— Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Picture The Possibilities
Picture It. Create It. CINEQUEST Picture The Possibilities (PTP) is a transformative leadership movement, where empowered youth create visions for a better tomorrow. PTP Youth (in city sessions around the globe) learn the 7 Powers of Creating program that teaches them how to create anything from art to science. They practice this power by making films (with mentors) on content vital to global youth. Seeing how to bring a picture from nothing into reality, they can then apply this creative process to other areas of their lives and dreams. PTP also creates personal profiles on each participant sharing their stories and dreams with the world. The annual live summit, Cinequest Connect, precedes the Cinequest Film & VR Festival. PTP youth, from around the world, will converge in Silicon Valley to Connect with leaders, company employees and global luminaries to share their creations and empower each other. Ultimately, PTP empowers global youth with the creativity and innovations to improve worlds.

In homes: Go to the basement and get under the stairway or under a heavy piece of furniture. If there is no basement go to a small interior room on the lowest floor, such as a closet, bathroom or hallway. Stay away from windows.
In schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and public buildings: Go to small interior rooms or halls on the lowest floor. Avoid large rooms such as gymnasiums or auditoriums. In high rise buildings, go to small interior rooms or halls. Stay away from windows in all cases.
In mobile homes and vehicles: As soon as a Tornado Watch is issued, go to a nearby substantial structure. If a tornado is already approaching and there is not time to get to a place of safety, exit the mobile home or vehicle and lie flat on the ground in a low spot or ditch. 33% of all tornado deaths occur in moble homes.

Your horoscope
HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This year finds you much more upbeat than you have been in a long time. You also see solutions easily, especially when dealing with more than one person. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone substantial with whom you can relate deeply after July. If you are attached, the two of you love spending time at home together.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) • ★★★★★ You could be seeing the big picture while a friend might not. Allow yourself to let go of recent developments and become more spontaneous. Whether you opt to go off and play a sport or meander into a fun brunch makes no difference. Tonight: Be a little impulsive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • ★★★★ You will need a timeout to catch up on sleep. Exhaustion undermines your enthusiasm and intellectual interest. You might feel as if you can't do enough for a family member. Fatigue infiltrates nearly everything. Tonight: Happy to stay close to home.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • ★★★★ You could feel as if you're in a bind. Remain positive and optimistic. You might be hearing several different versions of a disagreement. Maintain your sense of humor, and you will make the best of the situation. Return calls. Tonight: Hang out with friends.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) • ★★★★ Be aware of the costs of accepting a certain invitation. If you feel uptight, take a step back. Get a project completed before meeting up with friends. This will allow you to relax and actually enjoy a fun happening. Tonight: A shared piece of information gives you pause for thought.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • ★★★★★ The Moon slides into your sign and makes you the center of all the action. You know what you want, and you're willing to cross a line to get it. Right now, you simply have to ask. A new friend might delight you with his or her mischievousness. Tonight: Stay in the moment.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • ★★★ Listen to your instincts. You might need some personal time. Create the environment you desire, even if a partner doesn't seem happy about it. Screen calls if you want to relax. Others will be happy when you reappear. Don't worry. Tonight: Read between the lines.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • ★★★★ You are a friend above all, and you often help others achieve what they want. The results will be far better than you initially had thought possible. In fact, you will create a situation that pleases you to no end. A partner might test your limits. Tonight: Where the action is.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • ★★★ Work with a friend or loved one who might want to do something very different from your normal activities. This person will be wary of your attempts to make sure that he or she follows your suggestions. Defer to others more often. Tonight: On center stage.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • ★★★★ You could be taken aback by how you feel after having a compassionate talk with a loved one. Accept your differences, and understand where this person is coming from. As a result, you might find some common ground. Tonight: Whatever you choose to do, be with friends.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • ★★★ Your vision of possibilities could change after a discussion with your sweetie or a loved one. You might feel as if you have not been as open as you should have been. Let go of remorse; it prevents you from moving forward. Tonight: Go with the good times.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • ★★★★ You'll be amazing with your responsiveness. Many people will enjoy being around you for that reason alone. Remain upbeat. An encounter with a friend will illustrate how much he or she cares. Don't push away someone who tends to be remote. Tonight: Say "yes" to an invitation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • ★★★ Get into a favorite pastime that you associate with this time of year. A friend might decide to join you in a fun escape when he or she sees how upbeat you are. As a result, a new sense of friendship is likely to emerge. Relax with the moment. Tonight: Play it low-key.

The SIPCW's active design workgroup is working hard to make the active choice the easier choice for all Staten Islanders.

Employees must always have to be tested for blood, urine, hair-- anything that can help identify DNA. so the company always knows that it is them. As the world runs via genetics by now, most people cannot see past anyone's' genetic makeup, thus making these tests in the company mandatory. Through all this, it is seen how big of a contrast there is-- in this movie-- of "valid" and "invalid".
"Valid" means that the person's sample matches their character profile. Note that just because the DNA matches, the person may not be the same. Vincent Freeman models this in the movie by borrowing the ladder of Jerome Morrow.
"Invalid" means a person that is a 'faith birth' or naturally conceived, not via genetical engineering. Usually, it is often someone who is not registered within the company or someone with a genetic mutation (which also results in them not being registered in the company). Vincent, for example, is invalid.
Easy Ways to tell if Someone is "Invalid"Edit
There are other ways to tell if someone is invalid without doing a sample. First, the company looks for employees who are generally perfect in their genetic makeup, meaning that they don't have any major problems. For instance, someone may not be "valid" if they are wearing glasses, due to some mutation in their genes that prevents them seeing normally.

You use a standard backup program to save your databases, but this works only at the database level. This is fine for archival purposes, but you often want to back up individual objects. How can you get Access to display a list of objects and allow you to save selected ones to an output database you specify?
This solution shows how to create a form that selectively saves Access objects to another database. It works by using a multiselect list box and the CopyObject action.
Open frmBackup from 06-08.MDB (Figure 6-11). You can use this form to back up selected objects from the current database to another database. Select one or more objects from the list box, using the Shift or Ctrl keys to extend the selection. When you are finished selecting objects and have specified a backup database (a default database name is created for you), press the Backup button. The backup process will begin, copying objects from the current database to the backup database.

Proroguing of UK Parliament fails to stop a full house gathering for wildlife crime event
This week, I learned a new word – prorogue.
It's what the UK Parliament does when it shuts down. Once in a blue moon, it prorogues early and that's what it did last week. Maybe the Government had run out of business or maybe the MPs wanted to be back in their constituencies canvassing for the local elections, or, who knows, maybe the Government preferred not to be around when yet another austerity measure went live?
But, for whatever reason, prorogue it did. Normally, this wouldn't be of much interest to the International Fund for Animal Welfare. It would just mean that an MP meeting or two would have to be put off for when they were back. This time, however, the highly unusual early prorogue produced loud groans from our parliamentary staff.
This was because we had planned a parliamentary reception in what was to be the last week the House was sitting. The reception included an international IFAW guest, Kelvin Alie, Global Wildlife Crime Programme Director, and the UK Environment Minister, Richard Benyon MP, and it was to be on the terrace of the House of Commons – a House which was now to have no MPs in it. The horror!
Quickly regrouping and getting over our shock, we realised that the event might still work. We had already invited around 50 supporters and it transpired that the Minister still had business in London and was happy to attend.
It was all systems go again.
The reception went ahead and was a great success. Nine MPs and Peers attended, including Neil Parish who had sponsored the event and drove four hours from his constituency to open the proceedings. I chaired and presented a short IFAW video on Operation Worthy – a joint IFAW/Interpol project to tackle wildlife crime in East, Southern and West Africa.
I then introduced Kelvin Alie who outlined the immense and critical threats to both animal welfare and conservation that the illegal trade in wildlife items can have on endangered species such as elephants, rhinos and tigers.
The large crowd (phew!) were visibly moved by what they heard.
They were impressed with IFAW's efforts in the field to train and equip national park rangers who are at the frontline of a war for animal survival across Africa. They were equally impressed by IFAW's international efforts with coalitions including the UN, Interpol, World Customs, World Bank and CITES.
I was personally very pleased Kelvin ended by describing how Hillary Clinton, the former US Secretary of State, had cited international wildlife crime as a global threat to human security in the way it was run by organised crime syndicates, terrorists and armed militia from failed states.
I was pleased because this gave me the opportunity in between thanking Kelvin and introducing the Minister to say that I was glad the USA was tackling this endemic problem from the top down and to call for a similar amount of "joined up Government" in the UK.
The UK Government, in the form of the DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Minister, Richard Benyon, has always been supportive of our calls for more to be done to tackle international wildlife crime.
However, for many months now we had been making the point that there's a limit to how much just one (financially stretched) small Government department like DEFRA can do on its own.
So, I was delighted to see the Minister come to the podium and, after making some very kind remarks about IFAW, say that he completely agreed with the need for joined up Government and was happy to announce that he was in the middle of extended talks with colleagues from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for International Development about collaboration on tackling international wildlife crime - music to our ears.
After the speeches and presentations - supporters, IFAW staff, MPs and the Minister then spent a very pleasant time chatting and sharing ideas on what they had all seen and heard.
Feedback on the night was all very positive.
All in all, the prorogue wasn't such a pariah and a good (and effective) night was had by one and all.

The American Foxhound is similar to a beagle. It is much taller and thinner, though. All of the breeds in the foxhound group have a very similar appearance. Besides appearance, they are also similar in temperament and behavior with the beagle.
The American Foxhound was originally bred as a hunting dog. They are well known for their heightened sense of smell and long lasting stamina. They made a good hunting dog because once they caught their prey it was rare they would try to maul it since the whole part of the hunt they enjoy the most is the chase.
This breed is a happy dog with a lot of energy. They work well as a family dog because they are a pack dog and love to have affection and attention. They have an ease of step and a graceful movement about them. The head is long with a domed top and they have large floppy ears. The tail is held upright with a slight curve at the top. The coat is short, thick and coarse. This is perfect for hunting since it stays clean even when rustling through brush and woods. Some American foxhounds do have a softer, plusher coat.
They have long legs, the longest of any foxhound group. Their legs are one of their top features because they are what allow the foxhound to be able to run without tiring. American foxhounds are known for having much better stamina than any other foxhound breed.
The coat of the American Foxhound is short and thick. It can be soft but is most often coarse.
The foxhound group of dogs were brought to America from England as early as 1650. They were brought here for use as hunting dogs. Through breeding with the French Hounds, the American Foxhound developed its own look.
The American Foxhound can be a bit high strung and often can be vocal with howls and yips. They will bark a lot and many times at any person or thing they see. The howl is very loud and hound-like in nature. For owners it is a wonderful sound, but to neighbors it can be a nuisance. They do not, however, just sit and bark for the sake of barking. They much rather prefer to seek out attention in some other manner.
American Foxhounds love attention and affection. They are wonderful with children and make an ideal family dog that is loyal and like one of the family. They are very trust worthy, as well, and rarely will they have an aggression problem. They are fiercely protective. As a pack dog, they have the natural instinct to protect their family and they will.
They can be nervous in situations with a lot of unknown people or in an unknown place. Too many loud noises and strong aromas can also bother them. They will usually display destructive behavior when they are nervous or overwhelmed.
Due to their great sense of smell and natural hunting instincts, they will often stray. If they catch a smell they will follow it and usually ignore anything else until they find it. This poses the risk that they will run off. They need to be kept tied up or otherwise secure so that this can not happen. It is important to know they are clever, but stupid. Your dog may be able to unlatch a gate and then run into a busy roadway.
American Foxhounds are a generally healthy breed. They usually do not suffer from congenital defects or other inherited conditions. They also do not have problems with their hips and bones like larger dogs normally do. However, as the breed is being bred it seems to be getting larger and this could lead to hip issues. The taller the dog is, the more chance of a problem, so this is something to be made aware of.
Grooming the American Foxhound is not too difficult. The structure of their coat makes it easy to comb and keep clean. It is rare to have problems with tangles and matting. Regular brushing is still a good idea to help keep the skin healthy and the coat shiny. To make grooming easy the dog should be brushed two or more times a week so that he can get used to it and not fight it.
They also need regular nail care to prevent problems. They should be trimmed with care regularly to prevent over growth. The dewclaw is the biggest concern since it will not wear down with exercise.
Dental care is another important aspect of grooming. They can be given a real beef knucklebone once a month to promote good dental health. The teeth can also be brushed manually once a week.
American Foxhounds are an active dog that will need a lot of exercise. The type of exercise is not relevant, it is just important that they get plenty of movement and activity. They love to run in open spaces and will thrive if allowed to do so.
They can be destructive and display behavior problems if they are not getting enough exercise. They are not the type of dog who does well being kept inside all the time. It is also important to note that when outside they need to be kept secure and safe so they do not run away.
The American Foxhound is intelligent and can learn well. They are also stubborn and can be very unresponsive to training efforts. Their lively spirit and cheerful attitude, though, help make training less of a stressful process.
Control over barking is a must in this breed. They can be challenging to house train and may also have special liking for digging holes which should also be broke.
They respond the best to positive reinforcement in training methods. Training also requires an amount of patience because even well trained dogs can forget everything they know when they are excited.

By Yasmine Saleh
CAIRO (Reuters) - A group of technical advisers helping to write Egypt's new constitution resigned on Saturday, saying they would draw up a draft of their own because their voices were not being heard, state news agency MENA said.
The resignations further complicate a drafting process delayed by bickering among Islamists and liberals, raising doubts whether the document would be ready by a December 12 deadline.
The constitution, to be voted upon in a referendum, is a cornerstone of Egypt's democratic transition after the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak last year.
Without it, the country cannot hold elections to replace a parliament declared void by a court in June. The dissolved parliament was dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood of President Mohamed Mursi, who is the first elected president of the Arab world's most populous state.
The 100-member constituent assembly drafting the constitution appointed the advisers several weeks ago to provide technical assistance.
Representatives of three Christian churches have also said they were withdrawing their five members from the assembly, and on Wednesday former presidential candidate Amr Moussa, a liberal, said he and other members had suspended their participation.
The advisers said they wanted "a complete draft that is appropriate for Egypt and achieves the goals of the revolution of freedom and social justice," but that their advice was being ignored and they had become superfluous, MENA reported.
The assembly's chairman, Hossam El Gheriany, said he regretted the advisers' withrawal, but their complaints were unjustified and all of their recommendations had been distributed to the assembly's members, MENA reported.
Drafts of the constitution drawn up by the assembly so far indicate it will have more Islamic references than the previous constitution, worrying more liberal-minded Egyptians and Christians, who make up about a tenth of the nation of 83 million. They fear the imposition of social restrictions.
An important article stating that "the principles of sharia" are the main source of legislation has until now remained unchanged from the old constitution. But a new article seeks to spell out what those principles are.
Sharia is Islamic religious law.
Monsef Soliman, one of three representatives of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the assembly, said the decision to withdraw was taken on Thursday. Representatives of the Catholic and Anglican churches have also withdrawn, Soliman said.
Former presidential candidate Amr Moussa said on Wednesday that a small group with its own agenda within the assembly was pushing articles through without proper discussion, and that he and others would decide on Sunday if they would resign from the body entirely.
The technical advisers said most of their recommendations were unrelated to the articles on sharia, but rather those dealing with the balance of power and other issues.
President Mursi will not attend the installation ceremony of the new Coptic pope, Tawardros II, on Sunday, the church said on Friday, to the dismay of Christians who fear being sidelined in the new Islamist-led Egypt.

Anne Lamott Quotes About FeelingsQuotes about: Feelings
The problem is acceptance, which is something we're taught not to do. We're taught to improve uncomfortable situations, to change things, alleviate unpleasant feelings. But if you accept the reality that you have been given- that you are not in a productive creative period- you free yourself to begin filling up again.
Two things put me in the spirit to give. One is that I have come to think of everyone with whom I come into contast as a patient in the emergency room. I see a lot of gaping wounds and dazed expressions. Or, as Marianne Moore put it, "The world's an orphan's home." And this feels more true than almost anything else I know. But so many of us can be soothed by writing: think of how many times you have opened a book, read one line, and said, "Yes!" And I want to give people that feeling, too, of connection, communication.
The last song was so deep and raw and pure that I could not escape. It was as if the people were singing in between the notes, weeping and joyful at the same time, and I felt like their voices or something was rocking me in its bosom, holding me like a scared kid, and I opened up to that feeling-and it washed over me.
I know some very great writers, writers you love who write beautifully and have made a great deal of money, and not one of them sits down routinely feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident. Not one of them writes elegant first drafts. All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much. We do not think that she has a rich inner life or that God likes her or can even stand her. (Although when I mentioned this to my priest friend Tom, he said that you can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.)
God sent Jesus to join the human experience, which means to make a lot of mistakes. Jesus didn't arrive here knowing how to walk. He had fingers and toes, confusion, sexual feelings, crazy human internal processes. He had the same prejudices as the rest of his tribe: he had to learn that the Canaanite woman was a person. He had to suffer the hardships and tedium and setbacks of being a regular person. If he hadn't the incarnation would mean nothing.
Don't underestimate this gift of finding a place in the writing world: if you really work at describing creatively on paper the truth as you understand it, as you have experienced it, with the people or material who are in you, who are asking that you help them get written, you will come to a secret feeling of honor.
Most people's intuitions are drowned out by folk sayings. We have a moment of real feeling or insight, and then we come up with a folk saying that captures the insight in a kind of wash. The intuition may be real and ripe, fresh with possibilities, but the folk saying is guaranteed to be a cliche, stale and self-contained.

Three weeks or so ago it looked like the contest would be fought on John McCain's chosen territory. Russia's invasion of Georgia had put national security up in lights. ~Philip Stephens
I have absolutely no idea why anyone would believe this. During the fighting in Georgia, McCain continued to trail, as he did until his brief convention/Palin bump, and only a very small part of the public considers foreign policy questions a top priority. It's true that Lehman's bankruptcy, Paulson's proposal and McCain's utterly ridiculous handling of the entire situation combined to sabotage his campaign, but before 9/15 the campaign was not going to be fought on McCain's turf. The public was already overwhelmingly focused on economic matters, which is why the Republican convention seemed at times more like a convention of oil company employees, so enthusiastically and obsessively did they talk about drilling. Besides being a P.R. stunt, a desperate bid to generate enthusiasm for a moribund campaign and the default choice once Lieberman was ruled out, selecting Palin was clearly aimed at emphasizing the GOP's domestic drilling preoccupation, which had seemed to be the only issue where Republicans had enjoyed any advantage all year. As for national security, one of the main criticisms of the Palin selection even by those generally on the right was that choosing Palin had pushed national security to the back burner, which matched up with the public's own priorities. Indeed, Iraq had receded from the campaign almost entirely. Were it not for McCain's bizarre obsession with Georgia, Russian actions would scarcely have registered in our election. The trouble that McCain had after 9/15 was that he had embraced drilling (and tax cuts) as more or less the entirety of his economic message, and had made it very clear that he was fighting the election on an economic platform of sorts. When the financial crisis worsened and he flailed around attempting to look relevant, his main economic themes were pushed to the side and his bumbling in his response to the crisis reinforced the impression that he had no idea what he was doing or what he was talking about. The point is that national security was not going to be at the center of the campaign. Indeed, one of the reasons why Obama was widely regarded as the winner last week was that most viewers were not particularly concerned with McCain's supposed areas of expertise. McCain had already acknowledged that in the weeks prior to 9/15, and the Palin pick made that even more clear. So the crisis did notn upend the race, but gave added strength to the ticket that had been leading for essentially the entire summer.

As business owners or managers, you are surely more focused on the day to day realities of managing your business than on what may sometimes seem like the ivory-tower minutia of business law. That is certainly understandable. A little education and awareness about certain business law formalities, however, can save business owners or managers considerable time, headache, and potential expense down the road.
In this article, I will focus today on a legal question we regularly hear: Are my contracts and other important business documents signed by the right person? Note that this question can apply both to (a) how you sign your company's contracts and other documents and (b) how other parties sign your contracts or other documents. This is a concern because, if a contract or other document is not signed by the right person, you may not have a valid contract or document.
Whether the business is new or mature, most contracts and many other documents must be signed on behalf of the business by individuals who possesses the proper authority to represent or bind the business. But who is that? Well, it generally depends on the type of legal entity used for the business. Here are some general guidelines:
Corporations are owned by their shareholders, but as owners of the corporation, shareholders, in that capacity, generally have no authority to act on behalf of the corporation. Instead, shareholders elect a board of directors to represent the shareholders and oversee the affairs of the corporation. You would think, therefore, that directors would have authority to sign a corporation's contracts and documents. Generally speaking, however, directors, in that capacity, similarly have no authority to act on behalf of the corporation. Instead, such authority is typically granted by law and the board of directors to the officers of the corporation. You are no doubt familiar with the titles used by such officers: Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer, etc. Each officer's authority is subject to any limitations the board of directors or the corporation's bylaws may impose, but generally the CEO or the President of a corporation has the authority to sign most contracts and documents. It is more unusual for a CFO or other officer to have such authority, but many times they do. Many people will be comfortable assuming that if a contract with a corporation is signed by a CEO or President that the officer actually has the authority to sign and in many cases that turns out to be true or the contract is otherwise found to be valid. However, if you want to be certain that the person signing has the proper authority to sign (or if you doubt whether an officer is in fact authorized to act on behalf of the corporation), you will want to ask for proof of the officer's authority. Such authority may be found in the corporation's bylaws or in resolutions of the corporation's board of directors.
An LLC is owned by its members. Unlike a corporation, unless the LLC's articles of organization or operating agreement specifically state otherwise, LLC members also manage the day to day affairs and business operations of the LLC. If an LLC is member-managed, therefore, the LLC members may sign contracts and other documents on behalf of the LLC. There can be a question, however, about whether the signature of one member is sufficient or whether more than one or all members must sign a contract or document to be valid. To be sure a contract or document is properly signed on behalf of a member-management LLC, therefore, you may want to ask for proof of a member's authority to sign the document.
Not every LLC is member managed, however. An LLC may alternatively be "manager-managed." If the articles of organization and operating agreement specify that the LLC is "manager-managed," then the LLC members may appoint one or more managers to manage and oversee the day to day affairs and business operations of the LLC on behalf of the LLC members. Managers do not have to be members of the LLC, and one or more of the members may act as the manager(s). In this case, it is one or more managers that would sign a contract or document on behalf of the LLC. As with member managed LLCs, there can be a question about whether the signature of one manger is sufficient or whether more than one or all managers must sign a contract or document to be valid. To be sure a contract or document is properly signed on behalf of a member-management LLC, therefore, you may want to ask for proof of a manager's authority to sign the document. Such proof of authority is often found in the LLC's article of organization or operating agreement.
There are two types of partnership: general and limited.
In a general partnership, there must be two or more "partners." Each partner is personally liable for all actions and liabilities of the partnership. Generally, each partner is deemed by law to be an authorized agent of the partnership. Therefore, if business is operating as a general partnership, any partner may act on behalf of the partnership and sign contracts and other documents on behalf of the partnership.
In a limited partnership, there must be at least one "general partner" and one "limited partner." Generally, only a general partner is authorized to sign contracts and other documents on behalf of the limited partnership. If there are more than one general partner in a limited partnership, there can be a question about whether the signature of one general partner is sufficient or whether more than one or all general partners must sign a contract or document to be valid. To be sure a contract or document is properly signed on behalf of a limited partnership, therefore, you may want to ask for proof of a general partner's authority to sign the document. Such proof can often be found the partnership agreement for the partnership.
Sometimes a general partner will itself be a corporation or a limited liability company, so you have to also consider the general rules provided above for corporations or limited liability companies in evaluating who has authority to sign on behalf of a partnership.
If you are confused by these issues of proper authority, don't worry, you aren't alone. However, these seemingly technical distinctions can be extremely important when dealing with sophisticated parties (e.g., banks), entering into major transactions, or if you find yourself having to enforce a contract. Also, please note that these general guidelines may not apply in all instances; some documents have their own special signing requirements governed by law (some tax returns, for example) or custom, for which these general guidelines would not apply. Hopefully, these guidelines are helpful and provide a way to determine who is authorized to act on behalf of your business and the other companies with whom you deal.

Marlins Tickets Guide – Vegan Options at Marlins Park
If you're in the mood for some ballpark grub, then Miami Marlins tickets make way for a complete culinary experience. However, if you're a vegan, you have to know where to look. Planning your vegan munchies at Marlins Park is a bit tricky. Many of the food stands and concessions are meat-friendly. However, look closely, and you'll find something on almost every menu in and around the park. Check out these four vegan options the next time you're at a Miami Marlins game.
1. Veggie Burger

A veggie burger is an obvious choice for a vegan on-the-go. It's the perfect griller item to help get your head in the game. In addition, you can score one alongside your carnivorous friends. Burger 305 located inside Marlins Park offers a veggie burger, but it's only available in section 19. Pair it with a side of greasy animal-fat-free fries and you have a complete ballpark meal.
2. Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a classic way to satisfy vegan cravings. If you aren't shy about ordering off the kid's menu, then choose a Little Marlins Kids Meal from FanFeast, located in section 30. Pick the peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead of the hot dog. The meal also comes with applesauce and juice. FanFeast also offers a soft pretzel for those who need a bit more than a kid's meal to stay satisfied.
3. Cold Pressed Juices and Smoothies

200 Gallons Of Oil Pulled From Lake Champlain Tug
Tanks Pulled From Inside Wreck
200 Gallons Of Oil Pulled From Lake Champlain Tug
Tanks Pulled From Inside Wreck
MONTPELIER, Vt. —
An Environmental Protection Agency official says about 200 gallons of oil products were recovered from a tugboat that sank in Lake Champlain in 1963.
But no fuel was found in the tanks on the tug William McAllister when they were examined by divers in 165 feet of water about five miles south of Port Kent, N.Y.
The EPA's Alan Humphrey says the final determination about the presence of fuel was made on Monday after 13 dives over several days.
The EPA had been concerned the fuel tanks could hold thousands of gallons of diesel fuel, which could have ruptured and caused an environmental disaster on Lake Champlain.
Humprey says the oil products that were found had been trapped inside the wreck.

Winternals Software's NTFSDOS Professional 5.0 is another Best Utilities tool that clinched its spot with a landslide win, and it's appearing here for the second straight year. NTFSDOS Professional is a powerful tool with which you can repair corrupted files or configuration problems that prevent Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT systems from booting.
The drawback of using NTFS for Windows system partitions is that doing so doesn't let you access the NTFS volume to repair problems from a boot disk. NTFSDOS Professional solves that problem by giving you access to NTFS drives from MS-DOS and letting you create a boot disk with which to boot Windows systems. The disk contains an MS-DOS environment in which you can easily mount NTFS drives that have drive letters and run DOS programs to read, write, repair, or otherwise modify the drives, just as you would on FAT drives. You can also run third-party applications to effect a wider range of repairs.

The epicentre of the first 7.8 magnitude earthquake was located 231 miles from Vanuatu at a depth of 20 miles. Fifteen minutes laster it was followed by a strong 7.3 magintude aftershock.
Immediately following the quake, the US Geological Survey issued a tsunami warning for 11 Pacific nations including Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, Fiji and New Caledonia. The warning was later widened to Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia.
Fearing a destructive tsunami, residents of the Vanuatu capital Port Vila fled coastal areas to higher ground.
"In Port Vila people are moving up to higher ground and all shops and offices are closed," a reporter at the Vanuatu Daily Post newspaper said.
"We've got to get out of offices that are too close to the water," added a foreign worker, who asked not to be identified.
In New Caledonia and Fiji, schools and offices located close to the coast were evacuated.
Fiji's disaster management office advised hotels to take tourists to higher ground.
In the capital Suva police and soldiers were stopping people from going into the central city area.
The Disaster Management Office raised its initial tsunami alert from moderate to high.
A resident of Luganville on the southern coast of Vanuatu's Espiritu Santo island said the quake had shaken the town, but there were no reports of damage or change in sea level.
"People were frightened and some ran out of the building onto the street because it was so strong," a Florence Cari, receptionist at the Hotel Santo told Reuters by telephone. "The sea has not changed but we don't know if something will happen."
Residents in the low lying island state of Tuvalu were also ordered to evacuate from areas close to the sea.
Australia is also on tsunami watch, with a stretch of Queensland coast placed under high alert.
A spokesman for New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management said it was issuing a tsunami advisory for people not to be on beaches or boats near the coast.
The Pacific quake coincided with a 6.7 magnitude temblor, which struck south east of the Sulu archipelago in the Philippines. No damage or injuries were reported.
It comes days after an 8.3 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Samoa triggered a tsunami that killed more than 140 people on the island's south coast and in Tonga and American Samoa.
A deadly 7.6-magnitude earthquake also hit the Indonesia island of Sumatra, destroying entire villages and buying people alive. The death toll is expected to exceed 1,000.
Vanuatu is located in the Pacific ring of fire, a zone known for intense tectonic activity.

Still Not a Dump Truck: Net Neutrality and the First Amendment
The D.C. Circuit's decision in U.S. Telecom Assn. v. FCC came down yesterday. To the delight of net neutrality fans and dismay of many big ISPs, the court held 2-1 that the FCC's reclassification of broadband under Title II was permissible as a matter of statutory, administrative, and constitutional law. I'm still digesting the first two aspects – the decision and dissent weigh in just under 200 pages – but want to comment on the third (which takes up only seven pages, starting at p.108). The court rejects a First Amendment challenge to net neutrality regulation. I think the outcome is right and the reasoning is both rather shallow and wrong.
The J.D. McGregor problem
First, the majority writes rather breezily that since ISPs are now common carriers, there's no First Amendment problem, since common carriers transmit the speech of others rather than engaging in speech themselves. That plainly begs the question. The ISPs' claim is that their constitutional free speech rights override the FCC's statutory ability to force them to carry others' speech, particularly since the FCC long insisted that broadband providers were not, in fact, common carriers. The court notes that end users expect to be able to access all content from their ISPs, without owning up to the fact that it's the FCC's decade-long efforts to enforce open access rules that drive those expectations. It reminds me of a great exchange from the classic "The Simpsons" episode, "Duffless":
[Lisa is in a pet store, looking to purchase a hamster to run through a maze for a school project.]
Lisa Simpson: I want the most intelligent hamster you've got.
Clerk: Okay.
[retrieves a hamster at random]
Clerk: Uh, this little guy writes mysteries under the name of J. D. McGregor.
Lisa Simpson: How can a hamster write mysteries?
Clerk: Well, he gets the ending first, then he writes backward.
Lisa Simpson: Aw, c'mon.
Clerk: Look, kid, just take him before his mother eats him, all right?
The D.C. Circuit and J.D. McGregor have something in common here: it's a lot easier to start with the result and then figure out why it should happen.
Next, the court tries the scarcity route, famous from the days of Red Lion and Tornillo. Newspapers and television stations face inevitable scarcity, the D.C. Circuit says, and must engage in editorial decisionmaking, while ISPs have an abundance of bandwidth, and thus cannot. That's a framing problem: at certain capacities, ISPs very much have scarcity problems, which is why they're co-locating Netflix equipment in their data centers. Ah, the court writes, but there's no need under scarcity for an ISP to determine which e-mails or Web pages go first; first-in, first-out is just fine. This also elides the question, in part by ignoring the "reasonable network management" loophole in net neutrality. When the network is congested, should e-mail or video traffic receive priority? If the answer is "neither," why? E-mail has much more tolerance for delays (latency) than video does. FIFO is arbitrary, not a law of nature.
Ah, but that's where the court goes next with its reasoning: papers and cable TV "naturally occasion the exercise of editorial discretion." When a lawyer tells you that an outcome is "natural," you are being spun.
Finally, the court writes, there's a statutory save: if an ISP decides to "offer[] access only to a
limited segment of websites specifically catered to certain content" – to become a modern walled garden like AOL – then it falls outside the FCC's Order, since it will no longer be a "mass-market retail service." But this leaves at least two questions. What if I start Bambauer's Broadband Provider and decide that I will only allow access to one streaming video Web site, to be decided based upon which site cuts me the largest check? More seriously, what if an ISP that is vertically integrated with a movie studio decides that it will only stream movies from that studio's service / Web site, but all other categories and sources of content are completely available? In other words, what do you have to do as a broadband provider to fall outside the FCC's definition? It sounds like that ISP has to exercise the Goldilocks level of editorial discretion:
|Internet content available
|Net neutrality violation?
|Common carrier
|85% (no YouTube)
|Blocking lawful sites
|40% (no porn)
|Probably not
|Curating – offers subset of Web
|5% kids.us sites only)
|Probably not, but irrelevant
|Curating, but not commercially viable
Too little editing, and no First Amendment protection; too much, and you go out of business.
We like money
So, given the snark above, why don't I think that the ISPs have a viable First Amendment claim? After all, they're carrying speech (like a bookstore or TV station), and they'd like to make their own decisions about what speech to transmit. I'd be much more sympathetic if the plaintiff was a family-friendly ISP that blocked porn or gambling or heresy or the like. That shows an expressive choice in its editorial decisions, like a kid-friendly bookstore in picking only G-rated inventory. By contrast, the only message conveyed by the actual plaintiffs' desired blocking / prioritization is "Give us money." When a bookstore refuses to carry "Lolita" because of its content, it's engaged in speech; when it just charges more for it because you'll pay, it's not.
Put differently, in the table above, the 85% carrier would likely transmit YouTube videos if Google backed a dump truck full of cash up to their headquarters. The 40% carrier probably wouldn't transmit porn at any price, because the decision is a normative one. To me, this invokes the Spence v. Washington / Texas v. Johnson line of cases that try to draw the line between conduct and speech: it depends on whether there's an intent to communicate a particular message, and whether it's likely that the audience understands it. This requires some tough decisions by agencies and courts – what if Bambauer's Broadband Provider refuses to stream only Denver Broncos games, on the theory that Peyton Manning is a cheater? – but that's much preferable to drawing artificial distinctions between media or pretending the conclusion is obvious. Sometimes the Net is a dump truck, with everything riding jumbled together, and sometimes it's an Uber, where the driver picks the rider. For First Amendment purposes, the difference matters.

Herbs for Organs--Part One
Herbs For Organs - Our bodies have the ability to naturally flush out toxins if we provide the right environment for our organs. Include these herbs in your diet to help your bodies natural detoxification process!
I have talked about detoxification before, but I will summarize again. The bodys detoxification system, like the immune system, is rather like a tire. It can be low, it can be at normal capacity, or you can try to overfill it. It can be low because of illness or a chronic problem that has gone untreated (bad), it can be working normally, or you can try to enhance it and have it blow up in your face (also bad). If your kidneys and liver (the main cleansing organs that people think about) are failing, you can attempt to remove the offending problem, but you cant enhance the function. For example, if a person with uncontrolled diabetes gets told that their kidneys are not clearing wastes like they should (via blood and urine tests), and they wise up and get their blood sugars under control, they cant slow down and even halt their progression toward dialysis, but they wont actually improve their kidney function. What you can do to keep all your organs working normally is avoid binge drinking and excessive alcohol intake(liver ), lose weight if you are overweight(kidney and liver), control your blood pressure (kidney), control your blood glucose (kidney), dont engage in drug abuse/share needles (liver and kidney), be careful of what and how much medication you are taking (liver and kidney), and try not to get poisoned or hit by a bus (well, thats bad for all of you I think).
As far as the different herb listed here, is there any evidence for the use of these or any harm?
1) Ginkgo Biloba (note the correct spelling)--the larger the studies get, the less evidence they find. (Link). This herb also increases your risk of bruising and bleeding.
2) Ginseng--This herb has been the butt of so many jokes I find it hard to believe that people think this actually does anything, but once again, no memory helpers here (Link). Some people also get insomnia from this herb, and poor sleep will not likely help your memory. I am also amused that ginseng is thought to enhance male sexual function because the root looks like a male organ; interesting that carrots, cucumbers, bananas, etc do not carry the same claim.
3) Cocoa--there is some evidence pointing to the cardiovascular benefits of cocoa, but it is mostly observational (Link). Could it hurt? Yeah, if you are eating products that are more sugar than cocoa and gain a bunch of weight (you know who you are!). You can eat the 70% or higher chocolate, try not to eat the whole bar at once (even if it is fair trade), or use the internet to find a multitude of low sugar ways to work it in (including savory chili recipes).
4) Garlic--kind of in the same boat as cocoa here (Link). Some folks do get side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and general stinkyness when they take the powders, and you need to make sure that it does not interact with any other medication you might be taking. I was also fascinated to find out that the use of garlic paste for fungal skin infections could result in a burn.
5) Mullein--sorry asthma sufferers, no good evidence here. Might also cause bleeding (Link)
6) Yarrow--not sure why the arrow appears to be pointing to the lungs, having it point to the stomach or uterus would have made more sense. Too bad it will not help with those cramps though. (Link)
7) Milk thistle--has some promise for reducing death in people who have cirrhosis, but we need better studies. Overall safe unless you are allergic to related plants like daisies (Link).
8) Dandelion--see above as far as not being able to help your liver perform better. Tastes really good in a salad, though some people might not like the bitter taste.
9) Chamomile--not enough evidence say it helps tummy trouble, but if you want something non-caffeinated, go ahead.
10) Licorice--this one might help GERD, but only when combined with certain other herbs ( Link). Can cause severly elevated blood pressure when used chronically though.
11) Ginger--not sure why this is pointing at the kidneys, probably meant to point to the stomach. And we did this before.
12) Bilberry--once more, I think we were pointing to the wrong organ. Maybe they were trying to point to the pancreas as you often see this herb and diabetes mentioned together. Too bad there is no good evidence for that either. (Link)
Stay tuned to cover the other side!
