Boomers about to enter or just in retirement are learning that this massive transition changes their lifestyle and brings many financial decisions.
Continue Reading Below
Do you sell the family home and travel around the world, move to a warmer climate, or relocate close to family? Ultimately, a lot has to do with your finances and where you live.
In the past, many retirees downsized their homes as they aged, but the boomer generation might not be following tradition on this move. According to a study from MyMove.com, baby boomers are now "right sizing" for the needs of their new lifestyle, which can often involve adult children moving back home or housing grandchildren and other family members due to the current economic climate.
Ted Stimpson, president and CEO of MyMove.com, shared what this trend means and how boomers can best prepare for new living realities in or near retirement.
Boomer: What is the definition of rightsizing and how does it apply to baby boomers?
Stimpson: We're becoming a more mobile and fluid population. Moving is often a lifestage-based decision and this is especially true for baby boomers. Traditionally, people tend to think of boomers and empty-nesters downsizing to smaller homes. But it's really more about rightsizing. Rightsizing your home is tailoring your living space to fit your present financial status, lifestage, interests and lifestyle. For baby boomers, it might mean a larger or smaller space, or it could be adapting your current home to better reflect your needs.
If boomers have raised children in a conventional two-story, four-bedroom, two-car garage home and the children have left, it's time to rethink your housing options. Consider the three scenarios below:
Changing your existing home. Think beyond turning kids' bedrooms into a guest room, office or library/den. Maybe you want to create an open-plan great room by knocking out a wall of the separate dining or living room? Have you taken up new interests that your floor plan won't accommodate? You might want to convert a larger bedroom into a space for home gym if fitness is a new hobby.
Upgrade. Newer homes being built now may actually have a larger footprint as a way to accommodate a boomer population that has diverse, evolving needs. Energy efficiency and building materials often save money, even in a larger home. For example, a larger, one-floor design is popular with aging adults and can incorporate more usable, customized space.
Go smaller. Less maintenance, less time cleaning and wasted space in the current home are valid concerns for retiring or relocating boomers. A condo community that provides staff to do the heavy lifting of maintaining a home is a very big draw. Adjusting to less income may also be a factor in finding a better size fit in a new home. Going down to one car? You won't need that 2.5 car garage.
Childless boomer couples that didn't raise a family in their present home also may want to find housing that better reflects their changing status by moving to a vacation or retirement community or moving from city to country-or vice cersa.
Rightsizing lends itself to creating a living space for two generations with very different needs—especially for baby boomers taking care of an aging or ill parent. This requires adapting the current home to an aging-in-place function or possibly building an addition for the parent(s).
Boomer: What are the top five reasons you found for baby boomers moving?
Stimpson: Among Baby Boomers, Top 5 Reasons for Moving (respondents could pick multiple reasons):
- Closer to work/family 28%
- More affordable 28%
- Better Area 25%
- Health/Personal Reasons 18%
- Current Home Too Small 15%
Boomer : When adult children move in with their parents, what is the best way to establish a budget so all expenses can be shared?
Stimpson: This can be such a loaded topic that it needs to be negotiated very carefully. When a child that was previously living independently moves back in with parents, they are in essence assuming the role of being dependent again. Whether the move is precipitated by financial status or life change such as divorce, two generations with different needs, opinions and expectations are converging.
Here are some suggested guidelines on how to establish a budget:
Disclose finance/information: Within reason, both parties need to be open with real figures – what are the monthly expenses? Are you going to craft a budget on a 50-50 plan or will it be on an "ability to pay" basis?
Put agreements in writing: Have a meeting and establish the budget. The adult child needs to be realistic about what he or she can afford, but also be made aware that a free ride isn't on the table. Be honest with each other to avoid misunderstanding later. Think of it as a contract and re-negotiate it at a later date if needed.
Create a timeframe: When outlining the budget, get a reasonable estimate of how long the child will be living in the home. Re-visit as that date is coming up.
View children as roommates: If you try to factor out the family relationship and approach it more as new roommates, you may remove some of the emotional and psychological undercurrents that play out in families.
Maintain your space: Make sure your child isn't assuming that you'll help with debt he/she brought with him – like student loans, etc. Perhaps making student loan or child support payments could be swapped for some of the monthly expenses in the home.
Time is money: If the child is in dire straits financially and/or unemployed see if there are tasks or labor that can be negotiated. Does the child have carpentry skills? Maybe he or she can repair and stain the deck. Be creative.

Interview: Limitless' Bradley Cooper
While promoting the film Limitless, Bradley Cooper brought up an interesting topic; the character an actor plays winds up reflecting upon that actor. Basically, that meant that at a time, Cooper was seen as the nice guy from Alias then the jerk from Wedding Crashers and then the good looking smart alec from The Hangover. Well, now he's gearing up to turn that image upside down yet again with his latest film, Limitless.

Todd Phillips Speaks Out Against Unrated DVD Releases
When you really think about it, "unrated" DVDs are bullshit. All they do is give studios an excuse to release a new edition of a movie you already bought and squeeze more money out of you (this is commonly referred to as double dipping). In reality, however, all they are really doing is inserting deleted scenes back into the final cut and calling them "unrated," which they can do because technically the cut was never approved by the MPAA

Michael Dell in 2010 Said He'd Consider a Buyout
Talks about Dell going private have been bandied about in the past, though Monday's report that it is in talks with PE firms about what would be a massive buyout have taken the discussion to another level.
Dell shares shot up as much as 18% to $12.83 on Monday after Bloomberg reported the computer giant is in discussions with two private equity firms. That move alone would have added more than $3 billion to the market cap of Dell, which started Monday around $19 billion. Recently shares were up 12% to $12.15.
A Dell spokesman has declined to comment to WSJ.
In June 2010, Michael Dell was asked point-blank by an analyst if he considered going private.
Yes, was his answer. But he declined to say much more other than he is "totally committed to continuing to run the business for a long period of time." He added that he has "every intention to continue running the company for the foreseeable future."

Sauce Grand Veneur Recipes
Butter Steak Recipe (Alain Ducasse)
If you're a regular reader, you know that I often tend toward the exotic or indulgent in my recipes. But at heart, I'm a steak and mashed potatoes kind of girl. I had an organic, grass fed, La Cense Beef ribeye steak that was just begging to be cooked, and today was as good a day as any to treat myself to a juicy steak.
I used French chef Alain Ducasse's method of basting the meat with a generous amount of butter and cloves of fresh garlic. The beef is served in style with a sauce chasseur (mushroom wine sauce), as if I were eating at Alain Ducasse's restaurant. It's a pretty simple meal, and since the meat is of such high quality, why mess with the flavors too much?
What with diaper changing, baths for my baby daughter and a little work out in between I've been exhausted, so I thought this delicious steak was well-deserved. Don't you agree? Now if I could only get all the vegetarians in our household (namely my husband Lulu), to give it a try. They don't know what they're missing out on!
And don't forget to enter our La Cense Beef Giveaway. Entering is easy — just leave your email address below! I'll be choosing one winner at random. You have one more day (until this Friday, January 27th at 12pm PT) to enter. Good luck everyone! Plus, La Cense is offering a special deal to Pham Fatale readers. You can get $20 off 8 10-ounce Ribeye Steaks, plus 1 lb of free meatballs, all with free shipping ($157.48)! If that's too much meat for you, La Cense is also offering $10 off 4 10-ounce Ribeye Steaks ($71.24). La Cense Beef is 100% grass fed, with no hormones or antibiotics.

text: Show Hide image Politics 20 March 2013 This Budget was Osborne's last hurrah – and now he can only hope for the good times The coalition's Plan B is now in full operation – crossing fingers and toes and hoping something will turn up. Sign-up In his Mais Lecture, given on 24 February 2010, George Osborne argued that there was a series of benchmarks for policy for the next parliament, "against which you will be able to judge whether a Conservative government is delivering on this new economic model". He added: "I have set out the benchmarks against which we can be held accountable . . . We will maintain Britain's triple-A credit rating . . . We have to deal with our debts." Well, that didn't work out. Our downgraded Chancellor lost the UK's triple-A credit rating because he has delivered neither on growth nor on the deficit. In June 2010, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecast that growth in the UK would be 2.3 per cent in 2011 and 2.8 per cent in 2012. What we got was 0.9 per cent and -0.1 per cent. Most commentators, including yours truly, think that there is a better-than-even chance that we are already in a triple-dip recession. The problem wasn't caused by Labour profligacy, the wretched weather, Cypriot banks or the number of bank holidays. This remains a slump made in 11 Downing Street and it did not need to happen. The government hasn't dealt with the country's debts – far from it. The coalition has boasted so many times that it has reduced the deficit by a quarter but the reality is that this was done primarily by slashing capital spending, which has had a devastating impact on the construction industry. And the deficit is now rising, as was confirmed in the 20 March Budget. Construction-industry output in January 2013 was 7.9 per cent lower than in January 2012. To get an idea of the scale of these cuts, compare these figures: net investment in the public sector was £30.8bn in 2011 but only £384m in 2012, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). When the National Infrastructure Plan was published in November 2011, the government claimed that it would target up to £20bn of investment from pension funds. However, barely £1bn has reportedly been raised. Analysis of the government-funded "construction pipeline" shows that, as of November 2012, only 1.2 per cent of the 851 projects listed are "in construction". Lack of growth has resulted in more – not less – borrowing to pay for the costs of economic failure. Indeed, borrowing is forecast to be over £200bn more than planned at the time of the Spending Review. The government will not "balance the books" by 2015, as David Cameron once promised. National debt as a percentage of GDP is now forecast not to start falling until 2017/2018. The latest ONS figures show that public-sector net borrowing, excluding the Royal Mail and asset purchase facility transfers, is over £5bn higher so far this year than it was in the same period last year. So our part-time Chancellor has his own deficit-expansion programme. Nice work, if you can get it. This was all so predictable – or, at least, it should have been. One learned commentator argued in response to Osborne's illconsidered Mais Lecture: "Slashing spending now could push the economy back into recession and inflict further structural damage on the UK that will make it harder to sustain our credit rating. He . . . fails to appreciate that what the markets are looking for is a credible plan to reduce the deficit, not a willingness to slash regardless of economic conditions. In the current climate, it is essential that decisions about the speed and timing of tackling the deficit are based on the state of the economy, not political dogma." That commentator was none other than Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, who in a recent New Statesman essay called for greatly expanded capital spending. My concern now is that this was just political posturing, because there has been no change in policy. Osborne's extra £3bn for infrastructure was derisory. Don't just talk: do something, Vince, for the sake of the country. All along, Osborne seems to have believed that, despite the terrible dress rehearsals, everything would work out perfectly well on the night. He has too willingly believed the forecasts of the OBR and the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). These have been consistently wrong. In May 2010, the central projection from the MPC was for growth of around 3 per cent, with some chance of nearly 6 per cent by 2013 and little or no chance of negative growth. It's clear now that the forecast was wildly over-optimistic, with growth closer to zero. What is astonishing is that the MPC is still forecasting that growth could be as high as 5 per cent by 2015. It has learned nothing from its past failures. Each time the MPC makes a forecast, it has to downgrade it in the next iteration, which is exactly what the OBR did in its Budget forecast: it said that growth this year would be 0.6 per cent – half its earlier forecast of 1.2 per cent. This brings us to what the Chancellor should do – let's call it a "reverse Osborne". First, we need an immediate fiscal boost. He should cut VAT by 5 per cent and a cut in the basic rate of income tax would help. A cut in National Insurance to zero for two years for anyone under 25 would help lower youth unemployment. I would invest an additional £20bn into a housebuilding programme and spend £10bn on fast-acting, shovel-ready projects. Osborne announced a review of the MPC's remit but there's no need to make big changes: it is sufficiently flexible. But it would not hurt to provide an explicit dual mandate, following the model of the US Federal Reserve, of targeting both inflation and growth. Anything that sends the inflation nutters into paroxysms is fine by me.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
According to a recent news report, President Barack Obama has for over a year secretly conducted negotiations with Iran (through his adviser Valerie Jarrett) and the Geneva talks on Iranian nukes now appear to be just a facade providing international legitimacy for Obama's secret deal with Iran.
Secretary of State John Kerry's contradictory criticism of Israeli objections to that deal only suggests more bad faith by the Obama administration. Kerry claims that Israel has been kept fully apprised of the negotiations with Iran, but then argues that Israel has never seen the terms of the proposed deal with Iran and therefore shouldn't question it.
The Obama administration apparently wants to present the nuclear deal as a fait accompli that Israel must simply accept as is.
In what is becoming a familiar pattern, Russia is readily moving in to the Mideast areas where U.S. influence has waned because of Obama's many fumbles in the region. Last August, Saudi Arabia made it clear that it would happily replace US aid to Egypt (highlighting one of many issues straining U.S. relations with yet another Mideast ally).
On the issue of Iranian nukes, France has effectively replaced the U.S. as Israel's strongest ally and as the most sober-minded advocate of caution when negotiating over the single greatest threat to global security. Incredibly, Saudi Arabia is reportedly replacing the US in providing logistical support for an Israeli strike on Iranian nukes.
Yaakov Amidror, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's former national security adviser, recently indicated that the Israeli Air Force has been preparing for a potential strike on Iran. According to Amidror, such a strike could set back Iran's nuclear program "for a very long time." So Israel can go it alone, if it must, although the results will be far messier than those produced by a stronger U.S. approach.
While the Obama administration has suggested that critics of the current Geneva deal are "on a march to war," it is that very deal -- which gives Iran a nuclear breakout capacity -- that will force the states most threatened by Iran to take preemptive military action.
Even if one accepts Obama's apparent view that decades-long alliances matter no more than do U.S. assurances, there are other compelling reasons for Obama to reverse his disastrous Iran policy before its too late. Granting an Iranian nuclear weapons breakout capability will produce catastrophic consequences (many of which Obama himself acknowledged, in his March 2012 speech):
Will attacking U.S. interests be yet another Obama "red line" that gets crossed with impunity? If so, then whatever is left of U.S. deterrence and credibility will have been destroyed. If not, then the U.S. will get sucked into another Mideast war but on terms dictated by the adversary, and without any first-strike advantage.
The catastrophic consequences outlined above would all directly result from Obama's disastrously weak -- but still reversible -- policies on the Iranian nuclear threat.
The Jewish people have a long memory, and it pervades the thinking of Israeli civilians and top brass alike. Thus, Israel's brief history is replete with daring military operations to protect its security. In Netanyahu's speech at the last UN General Assembly, in what may have been Israel's final warning to the world to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat before Israel must, the Prime Minister summed up -- from his personal family history -- the collective experience that guides Israel on fateful decisions:
"[O]ne cold day in the late 19th century, my grandfather Nathan and his younger brother Judah were standing in a railway station in the heart of Europe. They were seen by a group of anti-Semitic hoodlums who ran towards them waving clubs, screaming 'Death to the Jews.' My grandfather shouted to his younger brother to flee and save himself, and he then stood alone against the raging mob to slow it down. They beat him senseless, they left him for dead, and before he passed out, covered in his own blood, he said to himself 'What a disgrace, what a disgrace. The descendants of the Macabees lie in the mud powerless to defend themselves.' He promised himself then that if he lived, he would take his family to the Jewish homeland and help build a future for the Jewish people. I stand here today as Israel's prime minister because my grandfather kept that promise."
Obama should know by now that if he forces Israel's hand, then Israel alone will neutralize the Iranian nuclear threat, regardless of how messy the aftermath may be. Netanyahu -- like any other responsible Israeli leader -- would rather bring about World War III than the last Israelis.
Noah Beck is the author of The Last Israelis, an apocalyptic novel about Iranian nukes and other geopolitical issues in the Middle East.

The food website Gojee launched its new Drinks site last week, featuring content from a slew of drinks bloggers. For those unfamiliar with Gojee, it offers a unique take on recipe searches. The first thing you notice when you hit the site is the large-scale photography. The site displays a slideshow of yummy looking food and beverages; the recipes are provided by individual food or drink bloggers. If the picture appeals to you, click the screen and a box pops up showing a list of the major ingredients. Click a link in the box, and you'll be directed to a full recipe on the site of the contributing blogger. You can also search the recipes according to what you have on hand, in your pantry, fridge, or home bar.
I was fortunate enough to be asked to contribute, so you'll find several of my recipes there, along with drinks by RumDood, Cocktail Chronicles, Cocktail Buzz, and Jacob Grier, among other esteemed collaborators. For teetotalers, drinks aren't limited to only the alcohol-bearing; Gojee Drinks also contains a number of NA recipes as well. The following images should provide the basic idea behind Gojee's interface. We'll start, immodestly, with one of my recipes. Then you'll see a cocktail from 12 Bottle Bar, and a non-alcoholic limeade from Winnie Abramson.

1. Asimo
Fittingly pronounced "awesome-o," Honda's amazing humanoid bipedal robot, is this year's tourney favorite, and with good reason. It's already been inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame. It climbs stairs. It looks like an astronaut. And most unfortunately for its opponents, it has some pretty sweet dance moves, as this video can attest.
3. OmniZero.4
The demonstration-winning robot from this year's Robo-One 11 event in Japan is built for entertainment. Known to his friends as "Li'l Clompy," OmniZero.4 climbs ladders, skips rope, breaks the hell out of eggs, and politely bows. Sure, he can be physically intimidating if you're an egg or 1 foot tall, but everyone else can just kick him into a swimming pool if he gets confrontational.
(1) Asimo vs. (3) OmniZero.4: Who wins?
4. Beer-Launching Fridge
Another robot that could potentially do some damage if you're not paying attention, the Beer-Launching Fridge holds up to 10 cans of delicious beer and flings them to you so you don't even have to get up. Unfortunately, at this point, you'll have to know designer John W. Cornwell personally, because he has the only one. But he may build more. One can hope, or at least buddy up to him on Facebook.
2. Keepon
The robotic star of two Spoon videos (one unofficial one, and one official one) has the most soul of any Nerf robot we've ever seen. In addition to bass (which it picks up through its nose mic), the secret to Hideki Kozima and Marek Michalowski's head-bobbing robot is in its base. Base! How low can you go?
(4) Beer-Launching Fridge vs. (2) Keepon: Who wins?
Beer-Launching Fridge
1. Pleo
When most people consider the concept of a robotic dinosaur, thoughts of mechanical T. rexes and velociraptors duking it out on a rickety bridge over a flaming pool of tar come to mind. Ugobe's Pleo is about as far away from that image as possible. He's cute, cuddly, "learns" things as time passes, develops moods and personality traits, makes grunting noises, and is slated to be in stores in October for around $250. However, the robot version of Carl Everett doesn't think Pleo exists.
6. Nintendo R.O.B.
Any votes for R.O.B. will come straight from nostalgia, because Nintendo's game-playing robot sure didn't have many gaming skills. With only two compatible NES games (the forgettable "Gyromite" and "Stack-Up") and molasses-slow movements, R.O.B. was rarely part of any old-school gaming session beyond his first foray out of the box. These days, R.O.B. has hung up his Gyro Blocks and now has his own MySpace page.
(1) Pleo vs. (6) Nintendo R.O.B.: Who wins?
Nintendo R.O.B.
4. Robosapien
Another selection from the ultracompetitive WowWee Conference, Robosapien has a bunch of tricks. Namely, belching, farting, caveman noises, dancing, and more farting. That's a nice little repertoire for $50, and Robosapien's hacker-friendly innards have paved the way for some sweet mods. This is another dark horse with an enthusiastic fan base that may propel it to the late rounds. It is also good at farting.
2. Sony QRIO
Hey, where's Aibo? Sorry. Sony's robo-dog was pummeled in the Sony conference finals by this lesser-known humanoid robot. Face and voice recognition, communication skills, and memory were some of QRIO's noticeable traits, but its smooth, fluid dancing moves (showcased in this Beck video) were QRIO's main drawing point. Development on the robot was halted before it hit store shelves, but you can't blame that on QRIO.
(4) Robosapien vs. (2) Sony QRIO: Who wins?
Sony QRIO
1. Marvin the Paranoid Android (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
The only robot in this year's competition that is (allegedly) the subject of a Radiohead song, Marvin's vast intellect is both his strength and his vulnerability. He may be too mired in depression and bored with this trivial tournament to even put up a good nonfight, or he may completely destroy the competition by employing his 5.5 million IQ. Either way, the championship is there for big number 42's taking if he wants it badly enough.
Decisions, decisions...Would you cast a vote for C-3PO just because you love Star Wars? Or does this droid's incessant nattering and worrying grate on your last nerve? Threepio's fate could go either way in this competition, which makes him one of the more intriguing tourney competitors. Two things I will say for C-3PO: No one would understand most of the stuff R2-D2 said without his reactionary dialogue, and his Halloween costume is best accompanied by creative use of jazz hands.
(1) Marvin the Paranoid Android vs. (6) C-3PO: Who wins?
Marvin the Paranoid Android
5. Johnny Five (Short Circuit 2)
He may be "alive," but he's still a robot. Johnny Five's distinction in the tournament, other than his unparalleled knowledge of pop culture and classic literature, is that he's the only robot that has been arrested. For the purposes of nonviolence, it's important to note that this is the Short Circuit 2 version of Johnny Five, the one with the toolbox instead of an on-board laser.
Whereas most movie robots can just crush anyone mercilessly with a combination of brute force and laser beams, D.A.R.Y.L. takes a more down-to-earth approach. He will obliterate your high score in Pole Position, make any Little League pitcher's ERA balloon to double digits, and ruin the grading curve on tests.
(5) Johnny Five vs. (2) D.A.R.Y.L.: Who wins?
Johnny Five
1. Twiki (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century)
Despite the bidibidi-bad haircut and the inconsistent silver-or-gold color scheme, Twiki is a player to be reckoned with. The reason for such a high seed? Twiki's actually a double threat, thanks to the fact that he wears another robot--Dr. Theopolis--on his chest like Flavor Flav's clock. Yeaaaaah bidibidi-boyeeeeeeee.
6. Data (Star Trek)
Commander Data may have lacked emotions for most of his run, but he definitely can win people's hearts. His childlike innocence combined with the most powerful positonic net-powered brain ever gives him an idiot savantish lovability. Combatants should keep in mind what Tasha Yar found out: Commander Data is fully functional. (Commander Data scouting report written by resident Trekkie Tom Merritt.)
(1) Twiki vs. (6) Data: Who wins?
5. K-9 (Dr. Who)
Yes, K-9 has a laser in his nose, but he ain't gonna use it unless the good doctor tells him to. His top weapons are intelligence and mobile database serving. What K-9 lacks in visual sophistication, the robot dog more than makes up for in sheer loyalty. All that persistence has paid off for K-9, too: He's getting his own spinoff series in 2008.
2. Bender (Futurama)
With Bender, the TV Division has one of the most potentially violent nonviolent robots in the competition. Bender's personality is a volatile cocktail that could blow a fuse at any second: He drinks with the best of them, has a smart mouth, and enjoys bending things. The Futurama star may also have the biggest fan base in the tourney.
(5) K-9 vs. (2) Bender: Who wins?
All scores represent percentage of votes, but let's pretend it's like a basketball game.

This story is a supplement to the feature "Why Migraines Strike" which was printed in the August 2008 issue of Scientific American.
In recent years researchers have identified several gene mutations that underlie familial hemiplegic migraine, a rare, inherited form of migraine. Although the genetic work is in early stages, it is already clear that these mutations disrupt the complex workings of the ion channels and pumps that regulate the activity of nerve cells. The genetic findings have helped convince many investigators that even common forms of migraine arise from abnormal activity by nerve cells rather than from blood-flow changes in the brain. This conclusion is reinforced by the discovery that three "migraine genes" also carry mutations that cause epilepsy, one of the first heritable diseases recognized to result from abnormal ion channel functioning. Such diseases are called channelopathies.
The genes implicated in the familial disorder include those listed below:
- CACNA1A encodes a major protein of a neuronal calcium channel called the P/Q channel.
- ATP1A2 carries the information for producing a protein that pumps sodium and potassium ions across the membranes of nerve cells to create the ion gradient used by ion channels.

We take the time to get to know our clients and we want you to get to know us San Diego Criminal Defense & Military Law expert Stephen Brodsky has been defending San Diego citizens for over 30 years in criminal law.Our attorney Stephen Brodsky will always try to persuade the District Attorney to reject a case for insufficient evidence to avoid a more costly defense in court. He will explain the case rejection process during your free consultation.
From case rejection, we try to get the DA to dismiss the case even if he initially decides to issue charges and finally Mr. Brodsky uses only the best and most experienced professional investigators and experts to prepare your defense for trial if necessary.Our defense preparation begins at the case rejection stage, because we try to present all of the good defense evidence to convince the District Attorney to reject your case. So, we end up being far ahead of the prosecution who doesn't start preparing their case until a week before trial whereas the Brodsky law firm has a solid defense prepare from the very beginning of your retaining him to get your case rejected.
Mr. Brodsky not only has successfully defended hundreds of civilian people accused of various crimes, but he has also defended many active duty Navy and Marine Corps service members charged with civilian and military crimes, as well as military veterans charged with civilian crimes. In many instances, Mr. Brodsky will offer affordable payment plans to active duty Navy and Marine Corps service members and veterans in recognition of their brave sacrifices and service to our country. Mr. Brodsky is very knowledgeable about the new "Pretrial Military Diversion Program" (California Penal Code section 1001.80) and he helps many active duty and veteran military service members qualify for military diversion; however, military diversion may not be the correct strategy for every service member on active duty, because qualifying for military diversion requires a guilty plea which may result in an involuntary discharge from the Navy, Marine Corps, Army or Air Force with a negative service characterization such as a "OTH" aka Other than Honorable Discharge." This is a very bad piece of paper a service member on active duty does not want to carry into civilian life as a veteran, especially when so many great opportunities have been made available to veterans through the TAP program offered by the Armed Forces (Transition Assistance Program).
PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR MILITARY CAREER AND RECORD INADVERTENTLY IN JEOPARDY BY HIRING AN ATTORNEY WHO HAS NO MILITARY BACKGROUND. MOST ATTORNEYS ARE NOT FORMER MILITARY JUDGE ADVOCATES LIKE MR. BRODSKY AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THE PRETRIAL MILITARY DIVERSION PROGRAM (PMDP). The PMDP IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. PLEASE SCHEDULE A FREE CONSULTATION WITH FORMER MILITARY LAWYER, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY, STEPHEN R. BRODSKY WHO CAN THOUGHTFULLY EVALUATE YOUR POTENTIAL DEFENSES AND DECIDE IF THE PMDP IS A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR SITUATION. IF YOU CHOOSE AN ATTORNEY WITH NO MILITARY LEGAL BACKGROUND (EVEN A FORMER NAVY OR MARINE CORPS LINE OFFICER OR ENLISTED PERSON), THE ATTORNEY MAY MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE AND TRY TO GET YOU INTO THE MILITARY DIVERSION PROGRAM WHEN IT MAY END UP GETTING YOU KICKED OUT OF THE SERVICE WITH A BAD DISCHARGE AND DESTROY YOUR CHANCES OF LANDING ONE OF THE GREAT JOBS AVAILABLE TO MILITARY VETERANS.
My goal is to make the criminal defense experience as painless and harmless as possible. Why defend a case when we can get the prosecution to not issue charges? Getting arrested or charged with a crime can be one of the most terrifying and stressful times in anyone's life. When your career, reputation, and life are on the line, the legal system can seem impossible to navigate. My Criminal Defense is a team of experienced attorneys who work with the very best investigators and experts to defend a wide variety of criminal charges. Domestic violence Lawyer La Jolla .

Domestic Violence Lawyer La Jolla
During the next 25 years of practice, Mr. Brodsky tried hundreds of criminal cases to a jury, and also settled cases with the District and City Attorneys of San Diego County when it was in his client's best interests and the prosecution recognized the weaknesses of their cases. When the prosecution became unreasonable in its demands, Mr. Brodsky took many cases to trial, winning close to 75% of his cases, a success rate that is considered very good among the defense community. Mr. Brodsky tried virtually every criminal case in every area of criminal practice with astonishing skill and expertise. From petty thefts to Homicides, Mr. Brodsky tried difficult cases and he won the majority of them.
To get a clear idea of just how good a trial lawyer Mr. Brodsky became, one only has to look at the video testimonial given on his behalf as a grateful gesture by William Jaffee who was initially facing a charge of smuggling over two hundred pounds of marijuana across the US/Mexican border. Mr. Jaffee was represented first by a public defender who wanted Mr. Jaffee to sign a guilty plea agreement which would have sent Mr. Jaffee to federal prison for five years because Mr. Jaffee's case was tried in the United States District Court before Hon. Marilyn Huff. Initially , Mr. Jaffee was so intimidated by DEA agents threats to put him in federal prison for over 20 years, he signed a false confession. At trial, Mr. Brodsky confronted the DEA agents with inconsistencies between the statements Mr. Jaffee gave the Naval Criminal Investigative service which contained an unequivocal assertion of innocence with the DEA's subsequent interrogation which bullied Mr. Jaffee into signing a false confession.
It became obvious to the jury and Judge Huff that the Government had conducted a coercive interrogation which almost forced Mr. Jaffee to accept a guilty plea which would not only have sent Mr. Jaffee to federal prison for five years but it would also have ruined his career and forced him out of the Navy with a very bad discharge. At the informant's sentencing, Judge Huff sentenced Mr. Jaffee's phony friend to 10 years in federal prison when the Government wanted him to get probation. When prosecutor, David Hackney asked why Mr. Jaffee got off so easily when his co-defendant was sentenced so harshly, Judge Huff told Mr. Hackney that Mr. Jaffee was clearly an innocent man duped into a drug dealer's scam and that Mr. Brodsky put on one of the very best defenses she has ever seen in her courtroom.
Mr. Brodsky does not talk a big game. His actions and record as a successful trial lawyer speak for themselves. Mr. Brodsky creates a defense team consisting only of the best professional investigators and experts who often enjoy national reputation in their fields. Like his clients, the professional investigators, often retired and veteran police detectives and his experts often tenured professors in their fields of expertise, believe it is an honor to work with the very best trial attorney in San Diego. If you have any doubts about this claim, merely look at William Jaffee's testimonial video. How many people, even ones never charged or convicted, would willingly put their names over the internet effusively praising a trial attorney who saved their lives? Only the bravest of clients would openly identify themselves for the entire world to see. One of Mr. Brodsky's other testimonial video's involved a Navy commander who only felt comfortable giving the video testimonial as long as his face and identity were not revealed.
Please don't believe the fancy designs and false claims of other attorneys who cleverly get themselves ranked on the internet. If you choose an inexperienced attorney, there is a real danger that he will try to persuade you to plead guilty at the very first court appearance so he can take your money without actually trying to earn it by creating a real defense. Choose Mr. Brodsky, a no nonsense defense attorney who puts fear in the hearts of prosecutors who have lost to him many times before. Mr. Brodsky's trial skills are known by judges as well, because he has beaten these judges when they opposed Mr. Brodsky in trial when they were prosecutors. Don't choose the fanciest website. Choose the best attorney to defend you, protect your freedom, reputation, career and future. You can't afford not to pick the best: Attorney Stephen R. Brodsky, Esq.

FIR Interview: Stuart Bruce and Phil Gomes on PR and Wikipedia
FIR co-hosts Neville Hobson and Shel Holtz host a Google+ Hangout with Stuart Bruce, principal, Stuart Bruce Associates, and Phil Gomes, Sr. VP, Edelman Digital, to discuss efforts to improve the ability of corporate representatives to make ethical, transparent, disclosed and factual revisions that are independently verifiable to Wikipedia entries.

Yet because they are identified as "paid editors" without a neutral point of view, their revisions are often reversed and many are banned from the site. Gomes posted an open letter to Jimmy Wales on his blog at the same time Stuart Bruce Stuart Bruce post on his.

Was Gay Man's Death Sentence Due to His Sexuality?
Lawyers for a man on death row for a murder he committed a quarter century ago allege that jurors handed down a death sentence because they imagined he would like living among other men in a prison environment, according to a story posted at The Marshall Project.
The article notes that during the trial of gay convicted killer Charles Rhines in 1993, jurors sent the judge a series of written questions that seemed to hint at the idea that a gay man would actually enjoy spending his life in confinement because it would be with other men. Years later, Rhines' lawyers questioned some of those jurors and confirmed their suspicions: Some of them had assumed that prison would be a gay man's paradise.
One juror said that there had been "lots of discussion of homosexuality," while another said that the jurors were aware that Rhines was gay and "thought that he shouldn't be able to spend his life with men in prison." Still, another reported that one juror argued a prison sentence would mean "sending him where he wants to go."
A comprehensive story about the crime that landed Rhines in jail appeared at the Argus Leader, which recounted how Rhines was in the midst of robbing a donut shop when a courier named Donnivan Schaeffer happened upon him in the act. Rhines had been searching for a desk in the office, looking for money when Schaeffer entered the office. Rhines attacked Schaeffer with a knife, wounding him with two stab wounds, the Argus Leader said; Rhines then took Schaeffer to a storeroom. Schaeffer begged for Rhines to call an ambulance, but instead, Rhines plunged the knife into Schaeffer's head.
Rhines acknowledges having killed the young man, and says that he has reflected on the loss he caused Schaefer's family - but he contends that his sexuality is the reason for his death sentence, and points to other inmates who have committed similar or more egregious crimes but not been condemned to die.
The Marshall Report notes that the Supreme Court recently instructed a lower court to re-examine a death penalty sentence on the basis that the sentence had seemingly been influenced by racial bias, with a juror in that case later saying, "I have wondered if black people even have souls." The Supreme Court also sent a case involving a Mexican man's alleged sexual assault of two women back to lower courts on the basis of a juror's racist remarks.
The Marshall Reported noted that the Supreme Court might take up Rhines' case, and posed the question: "Can a sentence be overturned if it was based on someone's sexual orientation?"

Beckham passes medical at PSG
David Beckham is set to join Paris St Germain after passing a medical at the French club.
The former England captain will be unveiled at a news conference on Thursday afternoon, his representatives have confirmed. Sources close to the player say Beckham has made decision to go to PSG after considering lucrative offers from around the world.
Beckham made his choice mainly for football reasons - the fact PSG are in the Champions League knockout stage and the prospect of winning a league title in a fourth country proved attractive.
The clincher was the presence of coach Carlo Ancelotti and sporting director Leonardo at the club - Beckham knows both men from their time at AC Milan when he had a loan spell at the Italian club.
PSG have the financial clout too - they are Qatari-owned and have been the highest-spending club in Europe in the past year. Beckham received 12 formal offers from around the globe including South America, North America, South Africa, Russia, China and the Middle East as well as Europe.
The 37-year-old is viewing his next move as potentially his last after ending his six-year spell with the Los Angeles Galaxy before Christmas.
He has recently been training with Arsenal to try to boost his fitness levels ahead of a move.
According to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, Beckham, who started his career at Manchester United before moving to Real Madrid, will need to get in shape before he is ready to play matches.
Wenger said this week: "He told me that he doesn't look at all to be in shape. Beckham is super-ambitious.
"If, in his mind, he wanted to play in the Premier League he would not have gone on holiday. He would have prepared and come in and tried to impress me. He told me he has done nothing at all."

The 49ers have made a flurry of internal moves as they prepare for camp.
For starters, linebacker Darius Fleming and receiver Kyle Williams have been activated from the physically unable to perform list.
Also, as expected, receiver Michael Crabtree has landed on the PUP list after tearing an Achilles tendon during offseason workouts.
Finally, defensive lineman Lamar Divens lands on the non-football injury list. And since the injury isn't specified, it's hard not to wonder whether it relates in any way to the alleged/actual bashing in the head from a beer bottle, courtesy of linebacker Ahmad Brooks, allegedly. Or actually.

PORTLAND — It was standing room only Monday night at a meeting to discuss the future of Hall Elementary School, with some parents expressing doubt about whether students should ever be sent back to the school.
The building at 23 Orono Road, which was damaged by an electrical fire on Sept. 17, remains closed while renovations and air quality tests are completed.
Until the School Department hears from the testing companies that it is safe to return to Hall Elementary, students will be bused to Cathedral School, at 14 Locust St.
School officials said they are uncertain about when the 435 students will be able to return to Hall.
"We don't have a time frame yet," Superintendent Emmanuel Caulk said. "Certainly not this week."
The time frame for return depends on the results of air quality tests being conducted by independent contractors and the school's insurance providers. Peter Eglinton, chief operations officer for the School Department, said that the final reports will be made available to public when they are received.
According to Eglinton, work crews started repairing the school the morning after the fire and they are close to finishing some of the more basic work. But the three rooms with the most damage will have to be completely renovated.
While much of the school has been dried and reopened, Rooms 18, 20 and 22 remain closed during the renovation process, Eglinton said. In addition, crews removed all of the baseboards in the school to ensure that the walls are dry and there is no possibility of mold.
Fortunately, he said, the floors had just been waxed and were sealed from the 7,000 gallons of water dumped by the sprinkler system.
It became clear to officials last Friday that students would not be able to return to Hall on Monday morning. Eglinton said they acted quickly to gain access to Cathedral School, which was closed in April 2011 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maine. The School Department is paying the diocese $500 a day to rent the building.
"This fortunately is a building, really the only building available, that is completely empty, except that it is set up like a school. You would think that the kids were just on vacation," Eglinton said. "It's not as big as Hall School, but the teachers jumped on it immediately to design a way to provide a positive learning environment for children."
Principal Cynthia Remick said that while the space is significantly smaller, with only 14 classrooms, compared with Hall's 24, staff has worked to create a community environment much like the one that was in place at their home campus.
"We have some shared communities, we have some team teaching going on, we have some multi-age learning happening," she said. "I'm thrilled to be sharing this campus and I'm confident that students will have a fabulous time while they're on this campus."
Remick went on to say that there are dedicated spaces for the nurse's office, special education, art and music spaces, and students have access to a full size gymnasium.
Maintaining the close knit feel of Hall was something officials said they were concerned about keeping.
"It was important that we keep the school community intact, not to have students splintered off into this school here, that school there," Caulk said. "To keep our staff together, keep our students together with their peers."
With a commuter population of around 250 students either walking or being dropped off at school by parents, transportation was a concern for parents and staff at the meeting.
Parents were strongly encouraged to take advantage of the additional bus routes, because parking and space are limited at Cathedral School.
The primary concern expressed by parents Monday had to do with safety at Hall School. One parent, Carol Hill, said that she no longer trusts the building and thinks that it should be torn down.
Officials assured parents that the faulty circuit that caused the fire has been repaired and that no students or staff will be allowed back into the building until it is deemed safe. They also said that they are looking into plans to replace the building, but currently the school is 12th on the state's funding list of schools to be replaced.
Eglinton said a package of around $15 million is already being considered for a November 2013 school building referendum, and the district has started working with an architect to discuss plans for a new building.
An open house scheduled at Hall Elementary for this Thursday has been postponed until the building is reopened.
Sidebar Elements
Hall Elementary School's 435 students headed back to school Tuesday, but not at their home campus. Until further notice students will continue their classes at the old Cathedral School on Locust Street in Portland.
