Grantis Bell and Andrew Jones are expected to have a major impact on West Virginia University`s football team this season. And considering the Mountaineers were 8-4 last year with a victory in the Bluebonnet Bowl, it says a lot that the two Fort Lauderdale athletes are held in such high regard.
``Both of them are definitely going to play a lot of football for us this year,`` said Joe Boczek, West Virginia sports information director. ``Coach (Don) Nehlen was very impressed with them at our spring practice. It looks like Jones will definitely be a starter. Bell, though he may not start, will see a lot of playing time.``
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Jones, a defensive back from Dillard High School, was an off-and-on starter last season. He had 12 tackles, three assists and one tackle for a loss.
Now a sophomore, he is expected to rapidly improve as a player.
``In high school, Andrew was up and down,`` said Dillard coach Otis Gray. ``Some people know what they want, but they have to be shown how to get there. In ninth grade, Andrew messed around, and it carried until his senior year. Then he realized that he had to work hard.
``I was very happy to hear that he has picked up good study habits at West Virginia. I never worried about his ability to play football. He is a big hitter and he has a great desire for the ball. But now he`s matured in his life as well. He made the dean`s list last semester.``
Jones was supposed to be red-shirted last year, but injuries forced the Mountaineers to play him. By the end of the season, Jones had secured a starting position.
Bell, 18 and a wide receiver, was red-shirted as a freshman in 1984. The former Northeast High School standout now intends to prove himself.

text: A positive phenotypic correlation between milk protein percentage and reproductive performance in dairy cattle, especially during early lactation has been recently reported. The objective of this study was to quantify the relationship between milk protein percentage and different measures of fertility in Irish, seasonal calving, dairy cattle using data from experiments comparing strains of Holstein-Friesian cows under different feeding systems. The relationships between body condition score, milk production and fertility were also investigated. The data used in this study consisted of 584 lactation records over a 5-yr period. Principal component analysis and logistic regression was used to study the relationship between milk protein percentage and fertility performance of the cow. Greater milk protein percentage during the first 60 days post-calving was associated with better reproductive performance. The probability of a cow being submitted in the first 21 days of the breeding season increased with increased milk protein percentage during early lactation. Similarly, the probability of a cow becoming pregnant to its first service or to the whole breeding season also increased. Cows were classified as either high or low milk protein percentage based on their protein percentage over the whole lactation. Cows in the high milk protein group had a 7% greater conception rate compared to cows in the low protein percentage group. In conclusion, cows with higher protein percentage, especially during early lactation are submitted earlier in the breeding season, and have a higher conception rate. Physiologically, the shortage of glucose caused by negative energy balance restricts the synthesis of milk protein in the udder. On the other side, negative energy balance also causes the reduction of IGF-I, LH and oestradiol, which consequently delay the ovarian follicular development and finally reduces fertility. Therefore, there is a biological explanation for the association between milk protein percentage and fertility performance.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Wickliffe District Curriculum
Learning a second language is a critical component of the education provided by the Wickliffe City Schools. Children have the opportunity to learn another language at the elementary and middle school levels, however, they gain advanced skills in their high school studies. They begin with mastery of vocabulary and grammar, which assists in their English language study as well. Language instruction takes place in four realms: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. As a result, students develop a comprehensive set of skills that allow them to achieve fluency in a second language.
Students acquire the ability to communicate one-on-one and with large groups. The interpretive abilities that students gain gives them the ability to derive meaning from written works as well as from verbal conversations. Comprehension of what they read and hear is another vital aspect of acquiring a second language. Students acquire the ability to have simple conversations and exchanges of ideas which broadens their potential in their post-secondary pursuits. They also explore various cultures associated with the language they study.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Why Students Should Volunteer
There are many positive lessons to be learned from volunteerism, including the value of helping others and improving the community. However, there are many personal benefits that children can derive from taking part in volunteer activities. First, donating one's time to a good cause helps lift mood and increase self-esteem. The increased feelings of self-worth also reduce stress and help boost one's immune system. Second, students can gain valuable work experience through volunteering. They can learn a valuable skill, and also make connections with local community members who can serve as references for later job applications. Lastly, volunteerism can help young people learn about skills or areas of interest they didn't know they had. In that regard, volunteering might help them decide on a job path to take or help them decide on a college major.

Companies must adapt quickly for the future
Most face three major challenges in successfully delivering digital grid transformation programs:
- Delivering on time and budget due to the complexity and size of these programs and the challenges of deploying millions of devices throughout the network.
- Developing and integrating digital capabilities into existing operations with many utilities struggling to gain the right skills and processes to manage the digital grid and then ensure these align to business priorities.
- Deriving insight from the data generated by the digital grid and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Many utilities struggle to manage data and convert it into insights that add value across the business.
Success will be achieved by utilities that unlock the powerful value of IoT analytics and successfully navigate their transformation to digital grid.
At EY, we've led more than 50 of the world's biggest digital grid programs

After seeing one of my instagram photos a friend of mine (hi Hayasa!!) thought I should put this outfit up on the blog. So here it is!
A little over a month ago I was down in Melbourne for a concert and I wanted to go to the National Gallery of Victoria to see some impressionists exhibition (also, why is it called the National Gallery of Victoria, when Victoria is a state of our nation and there is the real National Gallery in Canberra, the nation's actual capital?). I really can't remember what it was I wanted to see now.. The reason I can't remember is because it was closed: on a Tuesday. That's just lame! Who shuts on a Tuesday? Monday is the logical choice. Anyway, I'm getting side-tracked.. So I was in Melbourne for a few days in total and by the time it was Tuesday I had bought a skirt, a dress, a top, and just on the day this photo was taken: a hat! Now I've watched "You've Got Mail" many times, and I've always loved the little conversation between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan about the butterfly on the subway. She explains that the butterfly got off the subway, probably to go to Bloomingdales and buy a hat: which would turn into a mistake, as all hats are (I tried to find a YouTube video but to no avail). So I have never bought a hat before because of this, but I often try them on and shop-keepers often tell me they suit me (but maybe that's all part of their genius plans). This time I actually bought the hat! I love it: it's cute and quirky, and maybe a little dorky. You can form your own opinions on that.
Unfortunately for my hat I'm quite lazy in getting my hair cut.. so my fringe was too long for it to work properly under the hat for this photoshoot (although you'll be happy to hear that my fringe has been cut now).
|Sad face: can't see.
|So we tried having my fringe back under the hat, but I think I look silly. I give you permission to laugh at me.
And now the tree-climbing photo series:
Hat: Kinki Gerlinki (remember this dress I got from there?)
Skirt and sandals: Gorman
Shirt: American Apparel
Bangle: Marni for H&M
Photos taken by Campbell in the Sydney Botanic Gardens. The tree is a Chinese Mourning Tree (I'm 80% sure.. can't remember the full name but I do remember making a mourning/morning pun with Campbell at the time).

Home > Watches > Panerai
Giovanni Panerai (1825-1897), founder of the family business, opens the first watchmaker's shop in Florence in 1860 on the Ponte alle Grazie and establishes contact with the most prestigious and longest established Swiss watch manufacturers.
Following disappointing tests carried out on the watches available at that time, the Royal Italian Navy in 1936 asked Panerai to develop a watch able to withstand the extreme conditions it will be subjected to. A Radiomir prototype is submitted to the Command of the First Submarine Group and the watch passed all the tests with flying colors. Panerai watches today are still made by craftsmen to the same high standards, performing perfectly in demanding situations and able to withstand extreme conditions.
Panerai watches are produced in limited numbers because they must meet quality standards which are much higher than for most watches, typical of equipment designed for military use. The main requirement is reliability, which is vital. A user's life may depend on this, and it may be put at risk by a watch's failure or imperfect assembly.

I'm addicted to beauty. Makeup, nail polish, brushes, perfumes, lotions, high end, drugstore, you name I am probably lusting over it.
There, I said it, I'm out. I love shopping for new makeup, whether it's just picking up one new product that I've been wanting to try or whether it's time to repurchase stuff I've already used up and loved so much I want more. Don't get me wrong, I try not to go crazy and buy everything I want all the time, but I think I work hard and deserve a little pick me up with a new gloss or blush or foundation or brush or or or or.... ;) the list could go on and on you know!
Lately, I've been trying to branch out and try some new products that my favorite YouTube beauty guru's have been talking about, also I've been trying to use more of my products and sort of rotate through them instead of just getting stuck in a rut using certain fave's.
I've really gotten out of my comfort zone of just using neutrals and simple black liner with black mascara. I have been experimenting with color, using bright colored eye shadows that I normally shy away from thinking I can't pull it off. I'm trying purples, pinks, greens, blues and just blending the hell of them to make them work.
I'm really loving the Maybelline color tattoo cream shadows and have bought, I think 5 or 6 of them in the last 2 months, I have gotten a few neutral type colors, but I also got a really gorgeous purple that I just adore.
I will have another post up more near the end of the month of my July Beauty Fave's so keep an eye out for that with more info on the actual products I've been using and loving this month.
My go - to colors lately have been pinks, rose gold, taupe, and bronze shadows with a deeper bronze or copperish shade as a liner to smudge along the top and bottom lashes in place of an actual eyeliner.
Let me just tell you, I had tried Maybelline's The Rocket mascara and fell in love...it was a temporary kind of love apparently because I then tried the Loreal Miss Manga and I cannot wear anything else. I have tried. Nothing else compares to Miss Manga right now for me. In this picture to the left, the eye on the left has Miss Manga and the right eye is the Rocket. Hello lashes! Can you see the difference between the two?!?! Miss Manga is an everlasting kind of love, no temporary love there!!
Ok, so before I go into all of my July fave's in this post I need to wrap it up...I can't give away all my secrets in this one post ;)! Keep an eye out for more beauty related posts, that's where my heart is right now so just bear with me girlies!

It's been a little over seven months that Henry has been in our lives and I continue to be amazed not only with every little thing he does, but how bringing him into our lives has changed us in the most profound ways. To say I was jaded and skeptical about just how dramatically a baby can shift your perspective on life is an understatement. I figured that I'd change, of course, but not that I'd end up one of these people who was all " I wasn't really living fully until I became a mom". That phrase would send me into a fit of exaggerated eye rolls two years ago. How cliché.
But guess what? I wasn't really living fully until I became a mom. Yup, it happened. Now I'm rolling my eyes at myself.
Now, this in no way means you need to have a child in order to live fully. Not at all. It's just that for me, it took having Henry to get my head out of my ass and be able to live in the moment and appreciate the amazing blessings I have- a loving family, good health, a beautiful home, a caring nanny for Henry, a job I love and a fully stocked wine rack (because wine is the fuel on which mommy runs. Also, coffee). I never really realized just how focused I was on the wrong things and how stressed I'd get about total bullshit until I had something BIG jostle me awake to the fact. For some people it's another kind of catalyst that does it, for me it was Henry. Of course in the early days of motherhood I feared that I had ruined my perfectly curated life with this screaming, needy, terrifyingly vulnerable baby. But in the last two months Henry has developed into a magical little person whose smile and giggle could potentially save the world (in my eyes, at least). No longer a sleepy lump, he's giving back, sitting up, discovering the world and developing new skills every second! He's made me recognize what is truly important by giving me a powerful frame of reference. Is my son happy and healthy? Yes. Ok, great- so am I going to get all upset about a light fixture being backordered AGAIN for another ten weeks? Nope, not that important (although still epically annoying). I have so much more patience and empathy than I did before, which is truly a game changer when it comes to my daily happiness. The little things like watching tv in bed with Andrew at the end of the day or taking a walk as a family fill me with gratitude, where as before I may have just gone about these kinds of things in a stress fog.

HPS Investment Partners and Madison Dearborn Partners (MDP) plan to merge most of their UK general insurance businesses including the Towergate Group into a single entity.
The diversified insurance group formed by the US private equity firms will also feature two recently announced acquisitions. It has been temporarily named as KIRS which will later be renamed in the third quarter.
The merger of the companies is expected to bring in considerable benefits for customers, the group's market position and cost efficiency, according to the US private equity firms, HPS and MDP.
KIRS will bring van insurance broker Autonet, private medical insurance (PMI) brokerage services provider Chase Templeton, insurance solutions provider Ryan Direct Group and insurance broker Towergate Group under one umbrella. All the four insurance firms will continue to operate independently under their existing leaderships.
HPS and MDP have appointed John Tiner as chairman and Towergate Group CEO David Ross as CEO of KIRS.
Ross said: "The coming together of these companies under a single holding company is a major milestone for the HPS and MDP insurance platform.
"The Group will be a diversified business of scale with an unparalleled footprint and distribution presence comprising companies that are independent market leaders in their respective lines of business."
Also joining KIRS will be specialist international wholesale insurance broker Price Forbes which will also operate independently under its existing management.
Price Forbes CEO Mike Donegan who has been appointed as the executive director of KIRS said: "This structure provides the Price Forbes board, my experienced international and UK teams and importantly our worldwide client base, all the benefits of global independence on one hand and deep access to capital from very strong shareholders on the other.
"Our strategic intentions remain unchanged and can only be strengthened by this announcement."
KIRS has also agreed to acquire Nevada, the holding company for the Autonet and Price Forbes businesses for £250m. Nevada has separately agreed to acquire Ryan Direct Group and Chase Templeton.

Machine Learning Evaluation for Unary Classification in Fault Diagnosis, Prof. Dr. Adamo Santana
Montag, 4. Juli 2016 - 16:00 Uhr - Seminarraum 5 (I 127)
Early fault detection of equipment is important for any industry, but as more reliable products, with longer working life, are produced, historical data on fault events becomes scarce; moreover, the available data is usually not labelled, another aspect that is essential for the proper training of classification algorithms. Following this premise, to classify events as in-control of faulty, samples or patterns for both types of events are needed, however, it is often the case in practical industrial applications where only the in-control type of data is available. While the use of multivariate statistical process control (MSPC) methods and metrics are the often applied strategies for monitoring in such cases, the direct application of machine learning algorithms, supervised and unsupervised, also prove as viable alternatives in the task of identifying unusual behavior in real world data.
Short biography
Adamo Santana is a Professor at the Institute of Technology of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), in Brazil, where he coordinates the Laboratory of Computational Intelligence and Operational Research, developing researches in the areas of machine learning and data mining for decision support. He received the bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of the Amazon in 2002; the master's (2005) and Ph.D. (2008) in Applied Computing for Electric Engineering from UFPA, with collaborative period in the University College Cork. Currently, he is a Guest Professor at the School of Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences of Meiji University, in Japan, acting on the subjects of optimization for power systems.

Well, what I can say? I'm a writer, over thinker, and a day dreamer. I'm anxious to see where this Trinity takes me in life. I don't want to necessarily speak "for" anyone, but you'll come to realize, I represent for the introverts and the insecure. People might consider that to be a negative but it's just who I am. Being a late bloomer in Life, I haven't had the best track record in the dating/relationship game so I come with a sort of limited point of view on things. Despite my countless hours of research online about topics I'm interested in, nothing beats the real world application of experience, but I'm getting there. Every day I'm exploring new ground within myself and the world around me and I'm glad I get to share it with you as soon as it happens. It's going to be a fabulous journey and I'm glad you've decided to follow me on it.

With this series, I wanted to study the similarities in shapes found in these selected plants. After photographing them separately and at different times, I started noticing their likeness. Their textures are all quite unique yet ones sees that they all contain patterns of circles My photographic process involves first taking the plant apart and then photographing and scanning each piece. Then, I reassemble the many images together to produce a body of work which I feel is strongly intense yet fragile. Each final image consists of anywhere from up to 50 multiple single images and takes over 3 months to complete.
Graduate of the Ontario College of Art, Toronto Canada. As an artist, I am fascinated by both the continual change of negative and positive space through movement and the process of taking a living organism, fragmenting it, manipulating it, and then re-inventing it into an entirely new entity which resembles the original, but is in fact, entirely contemporary. An image which sways between reality and surrealism. I am ceaselessly driven to analyse the botanical and human form and in turn, to produce images that excite, intrigue, shock and generate new thoughts, to conjure up new sensations. I specialize in the use of multiple photographic imagery.

Adam Bronfman
Adam "Papa Rick" Bronfman is co-owner and co-founder of Rickdiculous Racing LLC. With a background in Business and philanthropy, Adam came to the sport of motorcycles late in life. After almost 30 years of marriage Adam's wife Cindy encouraged Adam to buy a touring motorcycle so they could ride together. The rest, as they say, is "history!" You will find Adam at every RICK day working on his skills and his understanding of the sport of motorcycle riding. Maybe you will get lucky and be invited go for a car ride with Papa Rick in the M3 race car.
Josh Bronfman
Josh "Ricky" Bronfman is Co-Owner and Co-Founder of Rickdiculous Racing with his father, Adam. While having no motorcycle experience as a child, Josh's adult life has been transformed by motorcycles both on and off the bike. Motorcycling has become one of Josh's passions along with skiing, wakesurfing and spending time at home with his family.
George Grass
George grew up on two wheeled vehicles without motors until purchasing his first motorcycle at age 27 while in graduate school. Realizing that the street could be a very unforgiving environment, he quickly opted for track riding/racing as an alternative. He began serious racing competition as an endurance racer where he ultimately rode with and managed an endurance team to a WERA national title. The Lake Tahoe resident then took time off to start a business, marry, raise a family, and win three world titles in Ultimate Frisbee. He returned to motorcycles shortly after by way of the Freddie Spencer School as a student and wished that such instruction had been available a decade earlier.
During the past 5 years, George has instructed with both Rickdiculous Racing and Yamaha Champions Riding School. He has managed teams/riders in CCS and AMA competition. George now has a street bike in his garage and knows how valuable good rider training can be for successful outcomes on both street and track.
Who is RiCK?
We are!! And you can be too! Rick is a nickname that Josh came up with his friends in college. They all called each other Rick. "RiCK" then morphed into a verb, adjective and adverb, permeating their, and now our, language. Why? Because it's beyond fun… it's Rickdiculous! Once you come and feel what we do and how much fun you can have on a motorcycle, you'll want to be a RiCK too. Our name is silly, but what we do is really serious. Be a RiCK!

I've been over catching up on some stuff over at Wag The Dad. Since I'm not pregnant and it's no longer Wednesday, I skipped right on down to the part where I get some learn on about how to get more sex. I know a lot of you don't know what a blog is (past the fact that you're reading one right now), but I'm here to tell ya it's pure infotainment most days. Well okay, maybe it's more edutainment. Either way, if you're one of those girls I wrote Hey Vagina, Why So Down for, you need to go over and check it out. It's not like I know the guy personally, but I don't think he would lie to you. Hell, he's practically a doctor with all of prostaglandin knowledge of getting a baby growing in someone and how to get one out. How can you go wrong? He's got 30 kids!
I would also like to clarify something from yesterday's post. That picture is in fact me. Today someone asked... "How many pictures did you take to get that picture just right?" I said, "Just one. That's my face!" It's the face I give pretty much everyone when they say something completely freaking asinine.
For the record, Spell Check flags prostaglandin, but it allows edutainment and infotainment. Oh look, it allows orientated too. Asshats.

Most people think of the US Legal system as a place where Judges decide right and wrong, even if they don't get who is right and wrong correct all of the time. Which is why there are Appeals and Supreme Courts. This condition is partially due to the simple fact that, hopefully, most people only get to see the inside of a courtroom on TV, whether fictionalized, reality TV, or through the lenses and filters of Cable News.
It's due to these unchallenged notions, that anyone who is unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of a civil lawsuit, that there's shock and surprise when their attorney, who has been fully briefed on the merits of the case, suddenly turns the topic to "Legal Economics", which is a euphemism for legal extortion. It means the other party has the funding necessary to hire a legal team to make the process of fighting a case so expensive, that the best option is capitulate and pay the person who does not deserve it a settlement.
If you've ever played Texas Hold'em in a real casino, particularly on a no-limit table, you become acutely aware of the players who have overcome the initial buy-in limit and accumulated tall stacks of chips from which they peer over with their 23rd latte – having been there all night, the next morning and afternoon.
Tall Stack Bullies can wipe out your $100 buy-in in a single hand, if you aren't careful. And, they don't give a hoot about having a non-suited 2-7 set of cards. They know that for the fact that you have just put up an ante, and perhaps said yes to a raise, that you are likely to fold and give away those chips because they might be holding Pocket Aces.
When it's your business or livelihood, your attorney will tell you that they may, in fact have a 2-7, but if they don't, and you go all in, you could lose your whole stack. And, since all metaphors break down, maybe even more than that stack. You could wind up indebted to the attorney who is supposedly on your side, even though, once again, the facts support you winning on the merits.
I happen to have had the unique experience of going up against a former business associate who has acted in this manner, who partnered with a plant in our company. I believe they knew all along what they were doing and intended to crash our company and sell off the assets. I have tons of evidence, written, and even verbal recordings. But, after 2 years of litigation, even though it was referenced in pages and page of documents both my attorney and I presented (I self-represented Pro Se in one of two cases, all the way to trial, and partially in the other), few of these facts were ever reviewed, let alone presented, before a Judge.
As we are collectively learning, in the Age of Trump, sometimes, and that sometimes emphasis is important, facts just don't matter. They really don't, and I'm going to help those of you about to argue with me in your head understand why.
It's pretty simple: Because Rule 11, which is theoretically designed to protect parties from abusive attorney practices, and its associated law does not make the Plaintiff who loses a case pay for the legal fees of the Defendant unless a high bar of criteria is met. As a result, few attorneys are sanctioned, and their bullying behavior have become normalized after decades and decades of abuse.
You have either been through this yourself and are nodding, or you are scratching your head and thinking I've spent a few too many years on conspiracy theories or in the legal haze of Colorado. Give those nodding a chance to validate me before judging me.
In fact, you don't have to believe me, an acknowledged left-liberal-hippie-progressive, that these abuses have gotten out of hand. I ask that you consider listening to Rep. Lamar Smith, who authored HR720 The Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act of 2017, which was read into the record of the 115th Congress (current), and is now before the Judiciary Committee. It's also over at the Senate where the Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley has entered the identical bill, S.237.
Or, ask any of the 8 Republican Co-Sponsors, one of whom is Sen. Marco Rubio, and another is from Colorado, Rep. Ken Buck. Yeah, this business-owning hippie is siding with the opposition on this matter.
I spoke to both Rep. Smith and Rep. Buck's offices on Monday, March 6, as I saw this bill coming up for possible floor actions this week. While there has been almost universal contention on a laundry list of issues since Trump was elected, I saw this as something where my experience was unique, and I actually had the ability to contribute and work with those whom I would normally disagree.
The change they're proposing is surprisingly simple: Change the word "may" to "shall". It means that instead of sanctions that "may" apply when an attorney is abusive, it "shall" apply. In pure form, without further amendments, we revert to "loser pays".
There's another added paragraph:
in paragraph (4), by striking "situated" and all that follows through the end of the paragraph and inserting "situated, and to compensate the parties that were injured by such conduct. Subject to the limitations in paragraph (5), the sanction shall consist of an order to pay to the party or parties the amount of the reasonable expenses incurred as a direct result of the violation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The court may also impose additional appropriate sanctions, such as striking the pleadings, dismissing the suit, or other directives of a non-monetary nature, or, if warranted for effective deterrence, an order directing payment of a penalty into the court.".
If you've been through hotly contested litigation, you'll eventually drop your jaw as the other attorney says something that is both pragmatic and simultaneously unashamed abuse. The current legislation references this example lawyer-talk:
"I really don't care what the law allows you to do. It's a more practical issue. Do you want to send your attorney a check every month indefinitely as I continue to pursue this?"
Or, as the attorney we were up against said to me: "You need to settle. Mr. ______ is never going to stop!" He hasn't, by the way.
The irony of my life surprises even me sometimes.
I have that threat recorded, and lawyers don't seem to care. There's another stubborn fact in the way: It's really really hard to get an attorney sanctioned for abuse. Like nearly impossible. Even if I have evidence of perjury. Particularly if you are a small-stack pro-se litigant who can't afford the deposition or filing fees. You get bullied because you just don't have enough chips to play in a casino you thought you had a Constitutional right to have your grievance heard within.
Here's the thing: I know something most others don't because I've won twice by not backing down to the bully. And, one of those times it self-represented all the way into the trial room. Just like the fat guy with 23 lattes sitting on an unsuited 2-7, they keep that stone face all the way to the last tense moment when they fold. And, you don't even get to know they had that 2-7.
Of course, the devil is definitely in these details. There was an attempt to address this in 1993 with an Amendment to Rule 11, and those proposing the current legislation claim that this change would result in a more pure system of "loser pays", which would make the US system a bit more like the system in the UK.
If you read the House Report on HR720, there is quite a bit of reason you haven't seen me reference Democratic Party support of this action, in spite of its apparent logic. That could make me the rube, so I have to mention that this bill and change to our law does come with two big concerns: That this leads to a new abuse where "satellite litigation" then diverts attention from the merits of the case, causes additional expense, and merely makes the process of pursuing your legal rights even more risky should you decide to take on the Tall Stack Bully as a Plaintiff. It also creates a mandatory requirement that disallows a Judge from applying discretion, which is a practice that has been disastrous in 40 years of War on Drugs cases.
And, of course, this isn't the first time this law was proposed. It's identical to the Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act of 2011. At that time, the American Bar Association opposed the changes, citing how the changes to Rule 11 in 1983 led to an explosion of Motions for sanctions until two things were changed in 1993: The ability for Judges to use discretion, and the so-called "safe harbor" rule, that effectively gave an attorney 21 days to withdraw the offending paper without bearing the consequences. If they continued beyond that time, then the discussion about the action being willful, malicious, or outrageous conduct enters the picture.
According to those who still oppose it, there's been relative calm since that storm of 1983-1993. But, whether you've had an experience like me, or you simply observe how Donald Trump operated in over 3600 lawsuits over decades, there's clearly still plenty of tall-stack bullying going on in our Casino Courts. It may not be an epidemic, but it's certainly disruptive to catastrophic to those who are abused. I see no reason for inaction or waiting till a majority of Americans have experienced it.
So, while I have strong support for this change to Rule 11 overall, there's clearly a need for input from the electorate that gets into these nuances. If you read the House Report, it goes into all of these in fascinating detail with references. It's a bit wonky, but not too bad. Again, if you've ever been through this type of litigation, you'll have flashbacks, I can almost guarantee. Hopefully you aren't in a state of PTSD.
There are legitimate concerns, and I'll state clearly that I believe Judges should have discretion in applying penalties and repayment of fees. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all mandatory judgments. We have Judges for a reason, so they can apply judgement. There is too much variation between cases to force a binary choice when there are many shades of gray.
There should be a period between giving notice of an impending Motion, giving the offending attorney time to withdraw. Twenty-one days is plenty. But, after that, the attorney proceeds risking peril.
I also believe there should be some exceptions. And, that's where the thing we can agree upon for 99% of cases turns into an endless battle. But, in spite of quantity, those few cases where exceptions should apply shouldn't be a system of injustice over the messiness of having to craft careful exceptions. This bill should not be ramrodded through Congress just because many of us have had it with these legal bullies. We should take appropriate time to ensure that a new set of victims is not created.
And, I'll add one more concern to the list: While it's nice you could get a refund on your expenses, this doesn't address the simple fact that many can't pony up the fees or find a pro bono attorney to ever see that hope. The Casino Courts are merciless on this subject, particularly if you attempt Pro Se representation. You have to pay to play. Period.
I'll be writing more on this subject, particularly as this bill winds its way through Congress. If you have been through this, or get my drift, it's a call to action. This is going to be the most fundamental change to our legal system in decades, and while I understand the amendments that Democrats are proposing, and agree with them, I'm willing to risk that downside in order to feel less risk as a business-owner of losing more time in my life to frivolous lawsuits.
It's time to step outside of the boxes we put ourselves in, and recognize, regardless of party affiliation, that we need to make a change to Rule 11 in order to make a fundamental change to the way attorneys approach cases on the basis of Legal Economics and Bullying vs. the actual merits of a case. Having our grievances heard in a court, otherwise known as Right to Remedy, is a fundamental Constitutional right, and for those with Small Stacks, this Casino Court System is neither kind nor fair.

A brief guide to Royston in North Hertfordshire, including information helpful to anyone moving to the Royston area or looking for a removals service.
In early 2014, prices for 4 bedroom houses in Royston ranged from around £250,000 for smaller terraced or semi-detached properties to £800,000 for large, desirable period properties. Around £450,000 would buy a reasonably sized detached property in a quiet residential area. Two bed apartments were available to rent at around £650-£800 per calendar month.
The SG8 Royston postcode covers a reasonably wide, largely rural area and encompasses a number of small towns and villages including Royston itself plus, Abington Piggots, Arrington, Barkway, Barley, Bassingbourne, Chrishall, Croydon, Fowlmere, Great Chishall, Guilden, Morden, Heydon, Kelshall, Steeple Morden, Wimpole, Thriplow and Wendy.
Royston is on the main line from Cambridge to London Kings Cross and offers a regular service to both cities. London trains run at around 10-15 minute intervals at peak times with a journey time of 40-50 minutes. For Cambridge commuters, frequency at peak is around half-hourly with a journey time of 25 minutes. The town lies at the crossroads of the A10 London-Cambridge road and the A505. The A1M is around 15 miles to the west of the town with the M11 a similar distance to the east. Stansted airport is 15 miles to the south east with Heathrow around 44 miles away. Luton Airport is 19 miles to the south west.
Royston Guide
The most northerly major town in Hertfordshire, Royston grew at the ancient crossroads of the Icknield Way (now the A505) and Ermine Street (the modern A10). With rail links to London and Cambridge, the town has developed as a mainly residential town and has been popular with commuters to both cities, with increasing numbers moving house to the area from the early-mid 20th century onwards. Royston's annual arts festival, revived in 2007, takes place towards the end of September and attracts major talents from the world of music and drama.
Royston is situated slightly west of the Greenwich Meridian, and at the northernmost apex of the county on the same latitude of towns such as Milton Keynes and Felixstowe.

Sefton Central Labour MP Bill Esterson showed his support for Fairtrade when he attended the Big Brew Fair in Crosby at the weekend.
The MP and Manor Ward Labour councillor Steve McGinnity attended the Crosby Justice & Peace Fairtrade event at St Helen's Church.
Sefton officially became a Fairtrade borough last year.
The Crosby event was held to officially mark Fairtrade Fortnight.
Following the event, Bill said: "It was great to see a Fairtrade event being held right here in Crosby. It shows that this community cares about this issue.
"The event highlighted just how easy it can be to make every day choices which can have real and long term benefits for produces here and across the world.
"More and more people are following the example which was pioneered by the Co-op movement and choosing Fairtrade goods which in turn challenge some very obvious injustices. It is only fair that farmers and producers across the world get a fair deal for their produce.
"I applaud the Crosby Justice & Peace group for organising a fantastic event with the Co-op and Traidcraft as well as all those who attended.
"We can all make very small differences every single day which make a big difference to people who need it the most."

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr TONG emphasised that DSD accords the highest priority to safety at work and that good housekeeping at construction sites will help prevent accidents, improve work efficiency and enhance DSD's image.
"Everyone of us is also a member of the general public. We should hence use our empathy when responding to the public's concerns in order to create a win-win situation,"said Mr TONG.
CSHAS was launched in 2004 with the aim of raising the housekeeping standard of DSD's construction sites. There are three types of awards, namely the Grand Award, the Best Construction Sites Housekeeping Award and the Meritorious Award. A total of 27 awards were presented to 13 teams today in recognition of their excellent housekeeping at their construction sites, and five of them won the Best Construction Sites Housekeeping Award.

I believe with all my heart that this is not true. I feel sad for all the people who were once wildly imaginative and had that passion, but lost it to the voices inside telling them its not possible. Think about all the young people who put their artist dream aside because the world taught them "better," and what their lives would be like now if they actually pursued their passions? If your dream is to be an artist or maybe it's something you've only scarcely considered, I want to tell you that it is POSSIBLE. Don't listen to what the institutions tell you, because they don't know the truth. They are living under a deception of how the world wants people to think, that only certain special, very talented artists can make a living. It's not true.
I believe that all it takes to be successful is dedication and a true passion inside you. Without the passion you have nothing, even if you are the most talented painter alive but you didn't have the love, you wouldn't go very far. It doesn't matter if you have no skill whatsoever, skill will come if you love what you do and you keep at it. First I was passionate about art, then I became skilled.
I started painting when I was twelve. I took almost all my parents' art classes (which were a lot). I wasn't very talented at first, but I kept at it because I loved it. I took a whole range of classes, from abstract, mixed media, water color, to realistic oil. I tried all sorts of things. Eventually I got better and better. The harder I worked, the more skills I gained. I started selling pieces at age 13. I took a few art bootcamps where you have to complete four paintings per week for six weeks, and that was where I grew the most. I hit some walls and mental blocks, but I pushed through them and I'm so glad I did. I stumbled into a style of painting I never knew could come out of me, I was 14 and came up with sixteen beautiful pieces from the bootcamp. Each one was a true work of art.
They were paintings of girls with a few foxes and birds. My mom warned me before I attempted my idea, that this was going to be very difficult and close up portraits of people's faces was one of the hardest things to pull off. I understood what she said, but I painted my ideas anyway. Well, I pulled it off and they came out amazing. The reason I succeeded was because I worked hard and listened to my gut. I was moved to paint these and I just did it. I wasn't afraid of the outcome or if I was wrong, I just painted.
It was an instant success, I knew it from the time each one was completed. I felt I had finally found myself and my unique style of painting. I sold almost all of the pieces from the bootcamp, which motivated me even more to keep painting. And the great thing is, after you've jumped into the creative river and you've learned how to swim, it only gets better! When you are flowing in the creative right side of your brain, where you don't
think with words but with feeling and intuition, the creativity flows out of you, and you end up creating some gorgeous things. The key is to keep going, when things get difficult you have to move past them.
I haven't stop painting, in fact, I paint at least eight hours every day. I finished high school early so I could paint full-time. Those pieces of the girls and the animals launched me into some even better work that I still continue today. I've learned so much and gained so much knowledge since then. The more you paint the better you will become. I am 15 now, and earning a good amount of money each month just from selling my artwork, either through galleries or private clients. I want you to know and believe that becoming a full-time artist is possible! You can make a living just by painting! You have to work really hard and learn all sorts of techniques. Be fearless and above all passionate. I promise you will find a unique style of painting that only you can produce. Everyone has their own special style and voice. All paintings have a voice and say something. Making art is your chance to proclaim to the world what you want to say. Becoming an artist is an option for your career, it's all up to you and how bad you want it.
