University of Toledo Professor Holly Hey Receives National Public Broadcasting Distribution Contract of Documentary Film to air on WNED, Buffalo PBS
Toledo, OH, July 18th, 2018 - The National Educational Telecommunications Association ("NETA") has contracted with Professor Holly Hey, Head of the Film/Video program at the University of Toledo for exclusive public television distribution rights of Hey's film "Crossing Water – Flint Michigan – 2017," a documentary about the ongoing water crisis in Flint, MI. Hey worked with the non-profit service organization Crossing Water to highlight the continuing needs and challenges facing the residents of Flint and the social service volunteers who help them. The film will broadcast regionally for the first time on WNED Buffalo, NY on Saturday August 11 at 5 p.m. Katherine Larsen senior director of Radio/TV programming for WNED says Hey's film is a, "great program on an ongoing issue. Clean water is vital to our communities, especially in the Great Lakes region." Flint, Michigan made national news in 2014 when the city's emergency manager switched the source of the city's water, plaguing residents with a host of immediate and toxic problems, including: deadly bacteria, outbreaks, and deaths from Legionnaires' disease, and the widespread presence of lead in the city's drinking water. In the film, Hey highlights the work of Crossing Water, a nonprofit organization that brings together social workers and other volunteers to bring water, services, and access to resources to the hardest hit residents of Flint. Hey weaves together multiple stories of Crossing Water volunteers, staff, and Flint residents, creating a portrait of what it is like to live within an ongoing systemic disaster. Crossing Water Executive Director Michael Hood called the film "a sobering story of the Flint water crisis." Hey believes that all Americans should care about Flint because it's a crisis that is indicative of the future for many US communities. According to CNN, over 5,300 municipalities around the country are in violation of lead rules. Hey says, "eventually systems will fail in any community, systems essential to human life like water and power. We can't ignore that we are all vulnerable to such collapse, wherever we live in America." Short Description A short documentary about a small, independent service organization assisting Flint, Michigan residents in combatting the city's water crisis which began in 2014 when the municipal water supply was poisoned with lead. Long Description Flint, Michigan, USA, 2017. Three years after the city's water supply was poisoned by lead and deadly bacteria, a local grandmother (Vanessa Terrell) with guardianship of her granddaughter, was told by city officials to remove the contamination, "boil the water." Weeks after drinking and bathing in the lead-contaminated water, Vanessa and other Flint residents learn that boiling the water would make the lead levels significantly higher. Vanessa finds reliable crisis assistance from Crossing Water, a small independent social service organization helping Flint residents most in need to get clean water and other vital supplies. Vanessa soon becomes a valued member of the Crossing Water team, assisting her community and educating the social workers who assist her about the day to day realities of living in a poverty-stricken city with a poisoned municipal water system. As the social working volunteers deploy into the field as members of Crossing Water's Rapid Response Teams, they witness first hand, the economic blight in Flint and the human suffering it has caused. In typical social work agencies, social workers are left alone to process the suffering they see, and ultimately assimilate it into their psyches. Crossing Water co-founders Michael Hood and Laurie Carpenter have created a different kind of social work agency that offers its social workers a collective space to unpack the experiences they absorb in the field so that they may continue on with their social work practice. Holly Hey – Director and Co-Producer Holly Hey currently heads the Film/Video program at the University of Toledo within the College of Arts and Letters and Department of Theatre and Film. Holly makes documentaries and experimental films that focus on social justice and the invisibility/visibility of marginalized peoples. Holly's documentary, Rat Stories was distributed by the National Educational Telecommunications Association, and her experimental documentary, the dum dum capitol of the world received major funding from LEF New England Moving Image Fund. Professor Hey received an MFA in filmmaking from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1993 and a BFA in photography from Ohio University in 1990. She currently lives in Luckey, Ohio with her wife and son. Lee Fearnside – Co-Producer Lee Fearnside is an artist, photographer and film producer. She earned an MFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design, an MS in Arts Administration from Drexel University, and a BA from Smith College. Her photographic work has been exhibited in galleries in New England, the Midwest and in national juried shows. Her videos have been screened at film festivals in Boston, Oregon, Toronto, Chicago, and San Francisco, and films she produced have screened at the Queens World Film Festival, Big Muddy Film Festival, Canada International Film Festival, Mirror Mountain Film Festival and Food and Farm Film Festival, among others.

'It Has Been a Pleasure to Serve'
It was 1983 and Dr. Quindlen was recruited to lead the USA Department of Neurosurgery as its second chair. Founding chair Dr. David Dean had helped establish the department. Dr. Quindlen's task was to build on that foundation.
"I think we've done that," said Dr. Quindlen, who served as chair of the department for 28 years, stepping down from the chair position in 2011.
"We have provided excellent cranial aneurysm surgery, pituitary surgery, tumor surgery and pediatric neurosurgery to many patients in our region," he said. "In more recent years, we also excelled at complex spine surgery."
Dr. Quindlen is known for his enthusiasm for technology and was ahead of his time in many ways. He led an effort in neurosurgery to adopt an electronic medical record system and electronic fax system 14 years ago. "We were the first paperless practice in the Mobile area," he explained. "This became an important advantage not only in supporting patient care, but also in our neurosurgical clinic relocations – we moved six times in the past 34 years," he said.
"During his career, Dr. Quindlen has trained and served as a mentor for countless medical students, residents, faculty and staff," said Dr. Anthony Martino, chair of the USA Department of Neurosurgery. "The direct impact he has made through patient care and medical education is immeasurable."
During his career at USA, Dr. Quindlen provided leadership in many ways serving on the College of Medicine's Executive Council; as president of the Health Services Foundation Medical Executive Committee; chair of the Health Services Foundation Investment Committee; chair of the Bylaws Committee; chair of the Surgical Case Review Committee; and director of the Neurotrauma Intensive Care Unit.
Dr. Quindlen taught neurosurgical clerkship courses and had a profound positive impact on medical students – many of whom chose to pursue a career in neurosurgery. "It has been a pleasure to serve and be a part of the USA College of Medicine and health system," Dr. Quindlen said.
According to Dr. Quindlen, the job did come with its challenges; namely, the ever-expanding health care system with the University of South Alabama's hospital acquisitions in the early 90s, adding to both the inpatient and our clinic's coverage responsibilities.
Throughout his career, Dr. Quindlen has made significant contributions to the mission of USA Health.
Later this month – after 34 years of dedicated service – he will officially retire from USA.
A reception in Dr. Quindlen's honor will be held December 7th from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Strada Patient Care Center Conference Center. We hope you will be able to attend as we celebrate the career of Dr. Quindlen and honor him for his many years of service to the USA College of Medicine and USA Health. The Strada Patient Care Center is located at 1601 Center St. in Mobile.
Dr. Elizabeth Minto Honored by National Multiple Sclerosis Society
"This award means a great deal to me, both personally and professionally," Dr. Minto said. "It is humbling to be recognized by such a vital organization that does so much for people living with multiple sclerosis."
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body. According to Dr. Minto, access to neurologists with the level of comfort and experience to treat MS is limited in our region. "I have long felt that those in the southern part of Alabama are particularly disadvantaged, as there are so many more resources available in Birmingham and its surrounding areas," she said.
MS is currently treatable, but not curable, and even with treatment it remains a progressive disease. Dr. Minto said it gives her great pride to offer treatment to those living in the area who previously had to drive hours to access care. In addition, she is passionate about teaching future neurologists to help improve the care for patients with the complex diagnosis of MS. "Without an MS specialist in our academic medical center at USA, the exposure of our neurology residents and medical students to patients with MS would be severely limited," she said.
At the ceremony, a volunteer of the year from both Alabama and Mississippi also were presented with awards. "It was a truly moving event, highlighting the various ways the MS Society helps raise money for research on the disease, as well as connecting those living with MS to resources when they are challenged with things like transportation, access to care, and even home modifications and meals," she said.
Dr. Minto feels strongly that the MS Society is the most effective community resource for those living with MS, as it helps to connect patients with resources, as well as raise millions of dollars for research into not only treating the disease, but also preventing it. She said the MS Society is also in part to thank for funding the fellowship training of Dr. William Kilgo, who completed his neurology residency at USA in 2017 and is currently midway through his fellowship training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He will be returning to USA next year, further expanding the access to care for those living with MS in the Gulf Coast region.
Dr. Minto has volunteered in numerous capacities to raise funds for the Alabama state chapter and has served as an educational speaker for many Society events for patients and their caregivers. In addition, she helped organize a team – called "Jag Nation for Remyelination" – for the MS Walk in 2017, which raised approximately $2,000.
Dr. Minto said she shares this award with her staff at the USA Department of Neurology outpatient clinic and the USA infusion center. "They spend countless hours helping patients with the complex tangle of insurance precertifications and scheduling that goes along with the various medications used to treat MS," she said. "It would not be possible to care for these patients without the tireless work of our staff members."
Nominees for the award were judged on their dedication to the MS movement, passion for providing personalized care to people affected by MS, and innovation in disease management and treatment. Learn more about the award here.

Dr. Mohammed Berrou Presents at 13th Annual Respiratory Disease Young Investigators' Forum
At the event, Dr. Berrou received second place for his research project on "The Indirect Cytotoxic Effects of Pseudomans aeruginosa Infection on Microvascular and Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells."
The forum, sponsored by National Jewish Health, was open to fellows who are actively enrolled in a pediatric, pulmonary, allergy or immunology fellowship programs. The top 30 abstract submissions from fellowship programs across the United States were selected to present their research at the forum.
Dr. Berrou said his research project studied sepsis patients in intensive care units who experienced changes in their cognitive function by the time they were discharged. "Sepsis due to bacterial pneumonia remains a main cause of mortality in intensive care units," he said. "Patients who survive the acute phase of these bacterial infections remain at a significantly increased risk of mortality long after their discharge from the hospital and the exact etiology of this phenomenon is unclear."
According to Dr. Berrou, this research holds far-reaching potential to improve health care among patients seen in intensive care units. "The occurrence of patients experiencing cognitive impairment, such as delirium or Alzheimer's disease, after leaving the intensive care unit is well-described," he said. "Often times these patients never return to baseline and have to live nursing homes after leaving the hospital, which impairs their relationship with family and their ability to go back to work."
In addition to presenting their research, the forum provided an excellent opportunity for fellows to network with faculty experts and peers conducting research in respiratory medicine. The forum was also beneficial for young investigators, such as Dr. Berrou, who will be transitioning to initial faculty positions following the completion of their fellowship training. Starting in July, he will serve as a pulmonary and critical care attending at Hurley and McLaren Hospitals in addition to working as a clinical assistant professor at Michigan State University, where he will continue to collaborate with the Center for Lung Biology at USA Health.
He credits the collaboration with the USA Center for Lung Biology and the curriculum within the USA College of Medicine's pulmonary and critical care fellowship program for providing him with the education, training and clinical skills necessary to pursue an academic career in pulmonary and critical care medicine.
"One important element of fellowship training is the development of research expertise," said Dr. Karen Fagan, professor of internal medicine at the USA College of Medicine and director of the division of pulmonary at critical care medicine.
According to Dr. Berrou, the department's dedication to both the clinical and research aspects of medicine has been beneficial throughout his training. Dr. Troy Stevens, professor and chair of physiology and cell biology at the USA College of Medicine, served as Dr. Berrou's mentor for the project. "The Center for Lung biology provides a vibrant collaborative research environment within the USA College of Medicine, which forms an outstanding framework for training in lung biology and related areas," he said.
Dr. Berrou said the department incorporates basic science research opportunities in collaboration with the USA Center for Lung Biology, which immediately sparked his interest. "Each month, faculty members from the Center come to the USA Medical Center to discuss their current research endeavors and serve as mentors as we progress through our training," he said. "USA's integration of research, academia, teaching and clinical experiences for fellows is rare to find, which is one of the main reasons why I chose this program."

Anthony Beck Named Director of Operations for Family Medicine
In his new position, Beck is responsible for the operating process of family medicine, including patient and paper flow, revenue controls, staff work environment and the development of new practice functions and activities.
Beck said he is most excited for the opportunity to build upon the foundation that has already been laid. "My ultimate goal is to increase patient volume for the department of family medicine and optimize workflow," he said. "I plan to further improve the delivery of care patients receive by improving front desk efficiency and clinical competency among nurses and medical assistants. I also plan to streamline all facets of the department, improving flow throughout."
Prior to joining USA, Beck served as director of telemetry at Springhill Medical Center. As director of telemetry, he was responsible for the day-to-day operations of all aspects of the cardiac telemetry unit, including staffing, management of the budget, quality measures, patient service recovery, hiring and electronic medical records chart review.
He credits his experience as both a nurse and director of telemetry for giving him the tools to help family medicine make advances in both patient care and customer service. "The wide range of experiences I was provided during my nursing career will be beneficial in this new position," he said. "As a nurse, my philosophy was always to put the patient first. Now, I carry on those same values by making a point to educate the staff and emphasize the importance of understanding the patients' needs."
In 2000, Beck earned his bachelor's degree in nursing from William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo. He later earned his master's degree in nursing administration and education from the University of Mobile in Mobile, Ala.

Cruising the Streets of Shanesville – 1875 vs. 2012
This year marks the 205th anniversary of the birth of our first Ley ancestor to immigrate to America.
The life and trade of Charles Ley, a prominent saddler in Shanesville, Ohio, has been chronicled at least a few times in this space. In an early post two years ago, I guessed at the origins and family makeup of Charles and his wife Susanna Carolina Vogelsang Ley, and shared several key birth, marriage and census records, and excerpts from local histories. Now, thanks to the wonderful — and authoritative — history compiled by distant cousin Doris Eileen Hill, The Carl Frederick Ley Family, all the facts and names line up.
Doris also shares some great photographs and maps from back then. The primary focus of this post will be to share with you the location of my fourth great-grandfather's saddlery and horse stables back in 1875, and show you the location today. But I'll summarize the high points of his history first.
Born in Bavaria
My great-great-great-great-grandfather was born Karl Gottleib Ley on Dec. 11, 1807 to Karl Friedrich Ley and Charlotha Elisabetha Engel. His father was a second-generation minister, and baptized Karl Gottleib in the Evangelical church at Pfalz, St. Alban in Bavaria.
This was the same church Karl Gottleib's grandfather John Frederick Ley, great-grandfather George William Lauckhardt and great-great grandfather John Nicholas Lauckhardt led from the 1690s through John Frederick's death in 1788. Karl Friedrich Ley had been installed there in 1801.
Karl Gottleib learned the saddler's trade and emigrated from Bavaria in 1833, entering the United States through New York City. He settled in Ohio in 1834, establishing himself in Shanesville.
Marriage and Life in Tuscarawas County
On May 25, 1835, Charles (the name he was known by in America) married Susanna Carolina Vogelsang in Canton, Stark County, Ohio. Susan Caroline was from Neuhof, near Waldmohr in the Rhine Palatinate, Germany, and was born there on March 27, 1818.
In 1836, Charles and Caroline bought the land on which they would live for the next 54 years. They built the family home on lot 9 in Shanesville, where it appears Charles also housed his saddlery business.
It was there that they raised eight children: Frederick (born 1836), Louisa (1837), my third great-grandfather Augustus (1839), Emilia (1841), Lewis (1844), Minnie (1847), Emma (1855) and Karl (1858).
Minnie has the unique distinction of being twice a Ley. Karl Gottleib's brother back in Germany, Friederich Christian Ley, followed in his ancestors' footsteps and studied theology. One of his four sons, Carl, born Nov. 15, 1844, immigrated to America in 1867. He spent a few years living with his cousin Frederick (see above) in Washington, Ill., where they ran a drug store. In 1870, he returned to Shanesville and married cousin Minnie on May 19. These Leys, among others, carried the family name westward, settling with their 10 surviving children (two died in infancy) in Illinois, Iowa and eventually, New Mexico. Minnie and Carl are buried in Missouri Valley, Iowa.
As for Charles and Caroline back in Shanesville, Doris Ley Hill relates:
The Ley families were well known for their harness and saddlery, and even supplied the government during the Civil War. Charles served on the school board, and in 1848 was instrumental in moving the log school building into the village as a dwelling, and building a brick two-room schoolhouse on lots 52 & 53. The apparently were active members of the First German Reformed Church; the Ladies' Guild was formed and held its first meeting in the Ley home, with Caroline being elected President' and, all their children were baptized in the church.
Many of Charles's sons went on to become successful businessmen. Augustus, my third great-grandfather, established dry goods stores in Bakersville and Port Washington. It is to Port Washington that Charles and Caroline moved in 1890 and where they spent the rest of their days. Caroline died Jan. 12, 1896 at age 77; Charles followed on Feb. 10, 1896. He was 89. They are buried in Union Cemetery, Port Washington, next to the distinguished family plots of Augustus, my great-great-grandfather Charles Henry Ley and Augustus's son, Lewis Emery Ley and his family.
Charles Ley's Shanesville — Then & Now
Shanesville, some 115 years after Charles's death, still retains the same basic layout as you drive in on Ohio 39 headed west through Sugarcreek.
According to the (undated) plat map below, the town fathers began their numbering just after the intersection of what is now Route 39 to the north and Main Street to the south. On the north side of where those avenues combine to form Main Street, they began counting 1, 2, 3… westward.
Charles and Caroline's old place is former plat 9, located at the the west end of the third block from that intersection. This 1875 Shanesville plat map — while not bearing the names of the owners as the one below — shows the lot numbers clearly.
Examining the structures on the detailed business map and comparing to the 2011 aerial view from Google Maps, I can't help wondering if the essential bones of the house today are indeed built upon the one Charles and Caroline shared from 1836 to 1890. Granted, the home may have been rebuilt during their tenure there, and has obviously been updated in the last decade or so.
Still, it's a fine feeling to be walking up the same street your ancestors did so many years ago, and know the general layout has remained consistent through the centuries.

An Unexpected Hydrogen Bond
Imagine all the things your body does each day. Whether it's blinking, breathing, stretching or smiling, even the tiniest of tasks requires that your body orchestrate a series of commands and functions to produce the results we expect. So how are all these tasks monitored?
If we trace back the chain of command, two elements at the very core of our bodily functions are proteins and DNA. Molecules of DNA always take a very particular form, discovered and made famous by Watson and Crick: the double helix. This double helix helps DNA function in a very specific way. It can unzip to allow for semi-conservative replication, the mechanism by which DNA duplicates itself to contain one newly formed strand and one strand of the original copy, but also coil very tightly to compact itself for mitosis. Proteins have more variation in their structure, but each protein's function also follows its form. Membrane proteins contain channels to allow molecules to pass through membranes, antibodies have binding sites with specific shapes to recognize antigens and catalyst proteins have conformations that allow them to help reactions occur by positioning substrates.
The conformations of DNA molecules and proteins are dictated by intermolecular forces, which are the interactions between individual atoms and molecules within the larger chain of nucleotides or amino acids, respectively. These typically fall into one of several categories, including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions and van der Waals forces. Until now, our definition of hydrogen bonds had been an attraction between a positively charged hydrogen atom and a nearby negatively charged atom — usually an oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine atom. But now, a research team at the University of Copenhagen has discovered a new way to bind a positively charged hydrogen atom with another positively charged atom.
The chemistry department at the university found that an intermolecular bond could form between an alcohol, containing an OH group, and a trimethylphosphine molecule. Trimethylphosphine consists of a central phosphorous accommodating three methyl groups around it, making a triangular pyramid shape like ammonia does. Hydrogen bonds typically form between a hydrogen molecule and an oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine because the latter three atoms have high electronegativities, giving them a slightly negative charge that attracts the positively charged hydrogen. However, in the trimethylphosphine molecule, the phosphorus does not have nearly the same electronegativity, giving it a partial positive charge. Nonetheless, a hydrogen bond can form between the hydrogen and phosphorus because the phosphorus has a small region of negative potential within the overall positive charge.
This new discovery has large implications for how we understand intermolecular forces. Having redefined what hydrogen bonding includes, we will now be better able to understand how molecules inside our bodies interact. Moreover, as we engineer new molecules, we will be aware of more ways we can design them to interact with each other. Learning about this type of interaction will give us a foundation for a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of chemistry as well as a springboard for future research and development.

We loved it! This place qualifies as a tiny home. If you are a couple that is fine but if you use the sofa it does feel small. Not an issue for us since the location was perfect for accessing the parks and activities in Teton Village.

Clean, surrounded by trees and foliage for privacy. Comfortable. Enjoyed our stay.

Not for another station dropping the hard far left extremist liberal Err America feed, which is why they are typically in the news.
This goes back to their looting of Bronx charity to ease their cash flow problems.
According to the NY Post:
Evan Montvel-Cohen was picked up by border-patrol officers at Guam International Airport on an outstanding warrant from Hawaii. He had been indicted there last month for money laundering and the theft of more than $60,000 from a Honolulu landscaping firm, prosecutors said.
"We at DOI are not surprised to hear that Mr. Montvel-Cohen was arrested on theft and money-laundering charges," said Rose Gill Hearn, commissioner of the city's Department of Investigation, which probed the looting of the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club in Co-op City.
It was Montvel-Cohen who, as development director for Gloria Wise, convinced other club officials in 2003 and 2004 to give $875,000 of taxpayer money to the radio network where he was a top executive and co-founder.
He also received loans from the club of more than $45,000 that were never repaid.

How to keep healthy eyes and maintain good eyesight?
The eyes are the windows to the soul, so treat them with love and care to prevent worsening of eye condition, eye diseases, and potential blindness. Here are a few general eye care tips to keep your eyes healthy.
1. Get regular eye screenings
Adults with no signs or risk factors for eye disease should still get a baseline eye screening at age 40
2. Stay within a healthy weight range
Being overweight can impact your eye health regardless of whether you are experiencing any symptoms. Conditions such as cataract and thyroid eye disease have been linked to obesity.
3. Have a balanced diet
Eating foods rich in lutein (a vitamin found in leafy greens), omega-3 (oily fish such as tuna and salmon), and zinc (found in cheese, milk, and poultry) can improve your eye health.
4. Engage in regular physical activity
Studies have shown a link between a sedentary lifestyle and a greater risk of Glaucoma, a condition that damages your optic nerves.
5. Limit your alcohol intake
Men are advised to drink no more than 21 units of alcohol per week, and no more than 4 units per day. The recommended intake for women is no more than 14 units per week and 3 units per day.
6. Wear sunglasses when outdoors
Exposure to UV light for prolonged periods can seriously damage your eyes and even cause retinal burning and blindness. Protect your eyes with some shades if it's a bright day.
7. Keep a safe distance when using the computer or watching TV
Your screen should be positioned 20-24 inches from your eyes with the center of the screen 10-15 degrees below the line of sight. Remember to take breaks away from the screen with the 20/20/20 rule: look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes to reduce eye strain.

Dance Central
You want something fun to play with your friends on a Friday night.
Harmonix's Dance Central is the next evolution of the dancing genre. To this point, dancing games were about quickly tapping your feet on a plastic pad. But Dance Central does away with the pad altogether and the "fake" moves of games like Dance Dance Revolution. You will really dance in this game. And you'll learn some slick moves. Best of all, your friends can hop in at any time and be your backup troupe. It's fun and easy to learn.

Child of Eden
You want to play a game without feeling like you're playing a game.
Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of Lumines and Rez, has done something truly special with Child of Eden. It's a game that is more about the experience than it is about completing objectives or watching scripted cut-scenes. Your hands are the guns that destroy the virus that's corrupted Eden. One hand can tag enemies and take them down in one volley. The other is a constantly firing canon. You clap to switch guns, creating this interesting rhythmic motion as you wipe out enemies. It's something else.

Kinect: Star Wars
You want a serious game. Also, you often dream of owning a light saber.
We haven't seen anything more than a trailer for Star Wars, but it was easily the coolest Kinect trailer at E3. The game looks like an on-rails action game where you play a jedi. Force pushes, deflected blaster shots, and a full-on light saber battle with Darth Vader have all been promised. Interested yet?
More Kinect: Star Wars
You want an awesome pet without the responsibility.
Frontier Developments managed to nail the design of the wild cats in Kinectimals – they're semi-realistic, but have sweet faces that just beg to be cuddled up to. Kinectimals is simple – bond with your pet and play games with it – which means that it's something anybody can enjoy. This will be a great gateway game for kids or anybody a little "game-shy." We love it because it's adorable, and we're sure that you will too.

When a loved one passes away, his or her estate often goes through a court-managed process called probate or estate administration where the assets of the deceased are managed and distributed. If your loved-one owned his or her assets through a well drafted and properly funded living trust, it is likely that no court-managed administration is necessary, though the successor trustee needs to administer the distribution of the deceased's assets. The length of time needed to complete the probate of an estate depends on the size and complexity of the estate and the local rules and schedule of the probate court.
Every probate estate is unique, but most involve the following steps:
What happens if someone objects to the Will?
An objection to a Will, also known as a "Will contest" is a fairly common occurrence during the probate proceedings and can be incredibly costly to litigate.
In order to contest a Will, one has to have legal "standing" to raise objections. This usually occurs when, for example children are to receive disproportionate shares under the Will, or when distribution schemes change from a prior Will to a later Will. In addition to disputes over the tangible distributions, Will contests can be a quarrel over the person designated to serve as Executor.
Does probate administer all property of the deceased?
Probate is primarily a process through which title is transferred from the name of the deceased to the names of the beneficiaries.
Certain types of assets are called "non-probate assets" and do not go through probate. These include:
Do I get paid for serving as an Executor?
Executors are reimbursed for all legitimate out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the process of management and distribution of the deceased's estate. In addition, you may be entitled to statutory fees, which vary from location to location and on the size of the probate estate. The Executor has to fulfill his or her fiduciary duties on behalf of the estate with the highest degree of integrity and can be held liable for mismanagement of estate assets in his or her care. It is advised that the Executor retain an attorney and an accountant to advise and assist him with his or her duties.
How much does probate cost? How long does it take?
The cost and duration of probate can vary substantially depending on a number of factors such as the value and complexity of the estate, the existence of a Will and the location of real property owned by the estate. Will contests or disputes with alleged creditors over the debts of the estate can also add significant cost and delay. Common expenses of an estate include executors fees, attorneys fees, accounting fees, court fees, appraisal costs, and surety bonds. These typically add up to 2% to 7% of the total estate value. Most estates are settled though probate in about 9 to 18 months, assuming there is no litigation involved.

Firm achieves major verdicts, settlements in product defect lawsuits
HOUSTON AND OCALA, Florida – Trial lawyers at Kaster, Lynch, Farrar & Ball are named among the finalists for the National Law Journal's Elite Trial Lawyers "Law Firm of the Year" for products liability litigation based on a string of recent legal victories that include large jury verdicts and numerous major settlements.
The firm as selected among more than 300 nominations for the honor, which highlights the team's experience and active nationwide trial docket in more than two dozen states. Honorees will be announced Jan. 20 in Miami at the National Trial Lawyers Summit, a gathering of the nation's outstanding civil plaintiff and criminal defense attorneys.
Kaster, Lynch, Farrar & Ball has developed special expertise in tire defect litigation, including successfully mounting aggressive discovery battles with multinational tire and automotive corporations.
Firm successes within the last 18 months include:
Based in Ocala, Florida, and Houston, trial lawyers at Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball LLP have hard-earned expertise in cases against global tire manufacturers over tire defects that can cause vehicles to lose control and roll over, often at highway speeds and without warning. The firm is a nationwide leader in securing verdicts and settlements against the world's largest tire and vehicle manufacturers. For more information, visit TheTireLawyers.com.
Tire company failed to warn of sidewall zipper explosions while inflating
PLAQUEMINES PARISH, La. – The law firm of Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball, LLP, has again obtained a significant verdict against a multinational tire company, this one against Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
A Louisiana district court has awarded a $7.2 million verdict for the tire explosion death of a Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, man. The jury found that Goodyear Tire & Rubber failed to provide adequate warning about both the existence and cause of sidewall zipper failures with its G182 tire.
Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball trial lawyers presented evidence showing that the tire company's warnings about zipper failure were misleading about the circumstances in which a tire could rupture. In addition, the warnings were never relayed to employees of the Solid Waste North Department of the Plaquemines Parish Government. They were unaware of explosion risks for tires on the fleet of garbage trucks, according to court testimony.
On Feb. 5, 2014, Elwood Breaux Jr. and a co-worker were inflating a G182 tire after noticing that the tire pressure was low. Mr. Breaux was holding the tire upright when the sidewall ruptured. The force of the air escaping from the tire threw him backward, and he sustained serious internal injuries to his chest and abdomen. Mr. Breaux never left the hospital and died from his injuries 28 days later.
The January 2019 trial lasted two weeks. In his Sept. 10, 2019, ruling, Judge Michael Clement ruled that Goodyear had not carried out its duty to warn Mr. Breaux and co-workers about the tires' dangers and how to avoid being injured. Judge Clement awarded $6.73 million for Mr. Breaux's six children and his wife, with an additional $481,075 going to the parish, which had intervened in the lawsuit to recoup costs associated with the tragedy.
The trial team included co-lead counsel Kyle Farrar and Skip Lynch of Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball with assistance from Danny Meeks and Kristen Meeks of Metairie, La.-based Meeks and Associates. Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball paralegals Daneen Muscato and Malisa Uwagawa served as support.
Based in Ocala, Fla., and Houston, Texas, the trial lawyers at Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball, LLP have hard-earned expertise in cases against global tire manufacturers over tire defects that can cause vehicles to lose control and roll over, often at highway speeds and without warning. The firm is a nationwide leader in securing verdicts and settlements against the world's largest tire manufacturers. This year alone, the firm has secured three 8-figure verdicts against three different tire companies and recovered confidential settlements totaling a multiple of those verdicts against other tire and vehicle manufacturers.

Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball attorneys recently won an important appellate ruling at the Minnesota Supreme Court in a product defect lawsuit against Ford Motor Co. for injuries caused by a defective airbag. In addition to earning a critical victory for a Minnesota resident who suffered serious injuries when his airbag failed to deploy, the closely watched case has broad implications for individuals seeking a level playing field in litigation against national and multinational corporations.
At a time when corporations are seeking to limit legal venues and make it harder for individuals to file product defect and personal injury lawsuits, the Minnesota Supreme Court rejected Ford's venue challenge arguments seeking the lawsuit's dismissal. A majority on the court ruled that the Minnesota court system is the proper venue for the case filed by Adam Bandemer because the vehicle involved in the wreck was purchased Minnesota, Mr. Bandemer is a Minnesota resident, and the wreck occurred in the state. Mr. Bandemer was a passenger in a Ford Crown Victoria and suffered a serious head injury when the vehicle's airbag failed to deploy during a January 2015 collision.
"What's important about the decision is it ensures Minnesotans have recourse against national and multinational corporations that put defective products in the stream of commerce," said Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball attorney Kyle Farrar, who tried the case along with KLFB attorney Mark Bankston. "Mr. Bandemer was a passenger in a Ford vehicle that was purchased, registered and being driven in Minnesota. To require him to litigate in Ford's backyard of Michigan would be a manifest injustice, and ultimately would lead to significantly fewer cases being filed, therefor less means by which to ensure the safety of the products we use every day."
The Minnesota Supreme Court decision upholds earlier rulings from the trial court and the Minnesota Court of Appeals that the case was properly filed in Minnesota. Ford is expected to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The case is Bandemer v. Ford Motor Co.
The Legal Intelligencer newspaper interviewed Kyle Farrar following a record jury verdict and settlements in a Pennsylvania lawsuit in which a mother and her baby daughter were seriously injured in a crash caused by a defective Bridgestone truck tire.
Writes The Legal Intelligencer: "According to Houston attorney Kyle Farrar of Farrar & Ball, who was the lead plaintiffs attorney in the case, along with Wesley Ball, the trial centered around the trucking company's failure to call 911. Farrar said he focused arguments on an internal document from the trucking company outlining that their policy instructed drivers not to accept responsibility for accidents.
"I think that caused the jury to think their conduct was outrageous," he said.

Law360 spoke with Wes Ball following the firm's record verdict and related settlements for a mother and her infant daughter who were seriously injured in a crash caused by a defective Bridgestone truck tire.
Writes Law360: "Silvi Concrete has joined Bridgestone in settling a woman's claims that the companies are responsible for the dismemberment she and her infant daughter suffered in a car crash, days after a Pennsylvania jury hit Silvi with a $11.7 million compensatory damages verdict in the case, the woman's attorneys announced Tuesday.
"It is our understanding based on research … that this is the largest amputation settlement of any kind, period, in any state," Mr. Ball said. "I think it was an incredible result for the client and I am incredibly proud of the work my entire team did."

Kyle Farrar and Wes Ball have both been named to Thomson Reuters' list of Texas Super Lawyers for 2018. This is the fifth consecutive year each attorney has received the honor, having first been named in 2014. The Texas Super Lawyers list is published by the Thomas Reuters legal department, and is compiled from nominations submitted by attorneys from across the state. The final list comprises less than five percent of attorneys practicing in Texas. Once the list is complete, it's published each year in Texas Monthly and Texas Super Lawyers magazine.
Farrar & Ball, LLP, has dedicated itself to helping individuals who have been hurt or killed through the recklessness and neglect of others. In addition to personal injury, the firm represents clients in a range of legal matters, including pharmaceutical tort litigation, product liability claims, and commercial disputes.
MORRILTON, Ark. – An Arkansas jury late Thursday ordered South Korea-based Hankook Tire Co. LTD to pay $1.2 million to a severely injured dump truck driver over an accident caused by a tire tread defect.
The verdict is the latest significant win against a global tire manufacturer by the trial lawyers at Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball LLP, which maintains offices in Ocala, Florida, and Houston. The eight-day trial followed a multiyear legal battle on behalf of 76-year-old truck driver Elmer Philpot.
Mr. Philpot was driving a load of gravel in 2010 when a defective tread on his right front tire separated, causing him to lose control of his dump truck. In the resulting crash, Mr. Philpot suffered leg fractures that required hip replacement.
After hearing evidence about how the defect originated at a Hankook plant in Daejeon, South Korea, the jury found the company 100 percent responsible for the crash and for Mr. Philpot's injuries. The jury award is the largest on record in Conway County, Arkansas. Earlier in the case, Hankook was sanctioned by the judge for discovery misconduct.
"We took an aggressive position in this lawsuit because we knew that the jury needed to see and hear all of the evidence about Hankook's manufacturing processes," says attorney Skip Lynch, who practices in Kaster Lynch's Florida office.
Trial team member Bruce Kaster agreed: "We forced this company to turn over key documents, and that made a big difference during the trial."
In addition to Mr. Lynch and Mr. Kaster, the winning trial team included Jerry Kelly of Carlisle, Arkansas-based The Kelly Law Firm PA, and Ben Caruth of Gordon, Caruth & Virden PLC in Morrilton, Arkansas.
The case is Elmer Philpot v. Hankook Tire Co. LTD, et al., No. CV-2012-114, in the Circuit Court of Conway County.
The trial lawyers at Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball have hard-earned expertise in cases against global tire manufacturers over tire tread separation defects that can cause vehicles to lose control and roll over, often at highway speeds and without warning. The firm has secured verdicts and settlements against some of the largest tire manufacturers in the world, including Cooper, Goodyear and Hankook.

Farrar & Ball congratulates attorney David Romagosa for his repeat selection to the Rising Stars list of top young lawyers in Texas. This is the eighth consecutive year Mr. Romagosa has been named to the list, the first being 2010. Texas Rising Stars honors those attorneys under 40 years old, or who have been practicing the law less than 10 years. Of all the eligible attorneys practicing in Texas, only 2.5 percent are nominated each year.
Farrar & Ball, LLP, is dedicated to fighting for those who have been injured or killed through the carelessness of others. In addition, the firm takes on a range of other matters, including product liability claims and commercial litigation.
As injuries and fatalities continue to rise in connection with defective ignition switches in millions of GM cars and trucks, General Motors has agreed to pay $900 million to settle criminal charges related to its poor response and botched handling of the grave product safety issue.
At least 124 people have died and many more have been injured in crashes caused by GM cars shutting off without notice, disabling the airbag, power steering and power brakes. GM executives have admitted that its employees were aware of the ignition switch flaw for nearly a decade before implementing a recall in 2014.
Although federal authorities have said that GM executives made misleading statements and concealed information about the faulty switch, the settlement does not hold individual decision makers at GM accountable and has drawn criticism relatives of those killed in crashes caused by the faulty ignition switches.
"While nothing can bring my daughter back, we need a system where auto executives are accountable to the public and not just corporate profits," Laura Christian, whose 16-year-old daughter Amber Marie Rose was killed in 2005, told CNN.
The automotive product liability lawyers at Kaster Lynch Farrar & Ball have extensive experience representing individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of dangerous automotive products. The trial team has successfully represented individuals who have been injured by defective tires and automotive products, spurring automakers and product manufacturers to make safety improvements to their products.

Journey to the West
By: Addison Wylie As times change, a filmmaker is faced with the potential to grow within their craft. I haven't seen or heard from writer/director Stephen Chow since 2004's fantastically insane Kung Fu Hustle, so I suppose I forgot that he would have to face this fork-in-the-road in his career if he continued to make movies. I see that advancement in his latest effort Journey to the West, but it's not in the film's tone….

we've had 3 quotes and not much between them, except the length of time for the container to arrive at our new destination.
I'm just wondering how long people have found their wait to be, in comparison to the company's claim. are they just vague estimations? or is it a good basis to choose which container company to hire.
we have quotes from Pickfords, John Mason and PSS.
PSS come middle for price, but say they will have our contents in our new home in 6-7 weeks. (the other 2 say around 8-10 weeks)

The Nordic startup community is the biggest unicorn factory in the world, with the number of startups growing four times over the last five years.
But access to early-stage funding and the practical knowledge that helps startups grow have not kept up with the increasingly rapid pace of innovation. "Firms must scale rapidly now if they are to make it," says Eric Lagier, Managing Director of byFounders, the early-stage venture capital fund based in Copenhagen and San Francisco. "Today's startups compete for markets and talent globally."
To address this, Lagier and his co-Managing Director, Tommy Andersen, have announced that they are launching an initial fund of €100m to support the next generation of Nordic and Baltic tech start-ups in scaling up and expanding globally.
The largest investor in the new fund is the Danish Growth Fund. Others include Isomer Capital, Draper Esprit, Digital Garage, as well as Danske Bank and a number of prominent Nordic family businesses.
"Established funds like Creandum, Northzone, and EQT and Heartcore have all existed for many years," explains Lagier. "However, as they've proven their worth, their fund sizes have grown, and we see them moving away from the early stages. Early stage investing is our sweet spot, and we see ourselves filling a different role in the ecosystem."
He continues:
Historically, many Nordic tech companies like Zendesk and Tradeshift have had to relocate to the U.S. when they wanted to expand, to unlock capital and markets. The emergence of firms like Northzone meant that Spotify and iZettle and some of the region's most successful startups could remain in the region and have helped build a strong tech ecosystem that is continuing to drive entrepreneurship.
byFounders is a powerful and influential VC fund, a collective of over 50 of the most successful startup founders from the Nordic and Baltic region, including Morten Primdahl, David Helgason
Sten Tamkivi Jakob Jønck SimpleFeast
Taking Nordic consensus building to its logical extreme, byFounders is a collective, with each member actively involved with the portfolio companies. All have invested in the new fund.
Its portfolio of companies includes the AI critical care diagnostic company Corti, SafetyWing, the digital travel insurer, and Cobalt.io, which makes penetration testing software. byFounders plans to make a further 30 investments over the next three years.
"What's particularly exciting for us, is that many of the founders that previously had to leave the region like have all returned to the Nordics and Baltics," Lagier says.
"It's natural for every tech ecosystem to compare itself to Silicon Valley but the Nordics has established itself as a true birthplace for unicorns and high-growth companies with numerous billion-dollar exits," adds Tommy Andersen. "The region can and will compete with any other place in the world when it comes to fostering and growing companies."

How LeSean McCoy became NFL's most exciting player
This Sunday, before kickoff in the game that will decide the NFC East champion, Philadelphia running backs coach Duce Staley will have a question for LeSean McCoy.
"Who's the best player on the field today?"
McCoy will answer: "I am."
Staley will reply: "Then go out there and prove it."
McCoy has been the best player on the field many games this season. Whether he's the best player in the NFL is up for debate. What he is, however, is the most exciting player in the league.
That's a feat in a quarterback-dominated profession that includes Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. McCoy, though, can surprise on every play. And it's not just his league-leading 1,476 rushing yards, which puts him ahead of second-place Jamaal Charles by nearly 200 yards. Nor is it just his 536 receiving yards, which is fourth among running backs.
No, it's more the way he moves when he has the ball.
"His ability to get in and out of a hole," says Staley, who used to be a popular running back for the Eagles. "I used to watch Barry Sanders and Barry was the only person I've seen like that. I compare McCoy to him."
What makes McCoy so good (and so watchable) is how he plans a move or two ahead. If it looks like his upper body is moving in one direction and his legs are going in a different direction, that's because he is trying to divert two defenders at once.
"A guy is bearing down on him from five or 10 yards away," says Staley, "and he's moving up on the defender, shaking and baking. He'll make a move to get rid of one defender and he's also setting the next guy up."
McCoy has 42 rushes of 10 yards or more – leading the league in that category – which shows his vision is as good as his speed. Chip Kelly's offense has only helped, spreading the field and allowing McCoy more space even in the tiny places where he usually has enough. His 2,012 total yards through 15 games, up from 1,213 in 12 games last season, is proof.
But this season's performance may be as much about Kelly benefiting from McCoy as the other way around. When "Shady" – so named because of his moodiness as an infant – has 20 or more attempts, the Eagles are 6-1. They are 2-6 when McCoy gets fewer than 20 carries. Philadelphia has lost only once since October, and that came in a game against Minnesota when McCoy had just eight rushes. So the Eagles have gone from a mediocre team to a very dangerous team in the second half of the season at least in part because of McCoy. He's had triple-digit rushing games in three of his past six games.
Everyone's favorite McCoy game this season came against the Lions, in which he looked like he was running on pavement while everyone else was sloshing through a driving snowstorm. He had his usual two moves when a lot of defenders had zero. McCoy had 217 yards rushing – 97 of which came on two touchdown gallops.
The lasting memory for Staley, however, came after those runs. The coach challenged McCoy before the game to do little things better, like play faking and keeping his eyes down the field. Such a rudimentary request didn't sit too well with No. 25.
"He was offended," Staley says. That was the point; Staley knows he has a star who thinks like a fullback. "I loved it," he says.
McCoy was sterling in pass protection and blocking during that win over Detroit, against one of the best fronts in football, and on multiple occasions he came over to Staley after a play and quipped, "Yeah, 25, that's me."
He didn't need to announce himself. These days, everyone's already watching every move he makes.
