A 'Stupid' Republican Woman Responds To Rep. Todd Smith

Tarrant County GOP chair Stephanie Klick speaks out about District 92, Texas Representative Todd Smith's voicemail on her answering machine calling the Republican women in his district "too stupid" to understand his policy position on Voter ID.

Bedford, TX (PRWEB) February 28, 2010 -- Tarrant County GOP chair Stephanie Klick speaks out about Representative Todd Smith's voicemail on her answering machine calling the Republican women in his district "too stupid" to understand his policy position on Voter ID.

In a new video available at Defeat Todd Smith, Klick explains that Smith's constituents were worried that "if Smith did not hurry, Voter ID would die in his committee." Smith's response? Constituents were "dishonest" and "stupid."

Texas Rep Todd Smith Dropped The Ball
Representative Smith "waited five weeks before even having a hearing in the committee on the bill," said Klick. "If there were not sufficient votes to pass Voter ID in Texas, why did the Democrats shout for five days on the House floor to prevent the bill from coming to the floor?"

"He dropped the ball," Klick said.

This video is sponsored by Citizen Leader PAC, a non-partisan political action committee that supports state and local political candidates based on commitments to limited government, free enterprise and free trade, individual liberty, and economic growth.

Manhattan Born Brings Art Back to NYC

International artist George Rodez to exhibit at the 32nd Annual International ArtExpo New York, March25-28, 2010, the world's largest trade art show.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 28, 2010 -- International artist George Rodez to exhibit at the 32nd Annual International ArtExpo New York, March25-28, 2010, the world's largest trade art show.

When asked, why New York? Rodez states, "Well, first of all, it's is one of the leading cities when it comes to the world of art. I have exhibited there on several occasions and having been born in Manhattan myself, it is always a very special place for me to come back to, a magical place where there is a true appreciation and respect for the arts. Besides that, New York is the city that never sleeps and it is the place to see and be seen. For me, there is nothing quite like a New York audience" as he recalls the lyrics from a song called 'City Lights,' a song from a 1977 Broadway musical which he saw called 'The Act' starring Liza Minnelli. "Ah yes, those city lights." George Rodez will be exhibiting at the 32nd Annual International ArtExpo in New York, the world's largest fine art trade show. The Expo will be held at Pier 94 on the Hudson River, 711 12th Ave. in New York, from Thursday, March 25 to Sunday, March 28. Rodez's work can be seen at Solo Booth No. 257.

This time around Rodez will be exhibiting his more expressionistic collection he likes to call Elements & Values. “This collection is about breaking all boundaries, traditions, and rules in creating a body of work that is purely an expression of freedom. The art work dictates to me, I merely follow its instructions. I do not try to manipulate it in any way. I only bring forth the images I see from the depths of the colorful background as I work on each individual piece. I enjoy the freedom that this collection affords me . . . each piece is a world on its own. Never having any preconceived notions of what the piece will actually be and then I slowly begin discovering its essence. This element of surprise is totally exhilarating to me." New York ArtExpo will serve to expose Rodez's work to the trade and visitors alike. Having last visited New York for the International Caribbean Art Fair in 2007 in which he exhibited his Afro-Caribbean series, this will be an opportunity to show others the diversity of Rodez's work.

In addition, while in New York Rodez will continue his fund raising efforts to benefit the American Red Cross International Response Fund for Haiti through the sale of his artwork. His artwork entitled "The Gift of Love" will be available for sale at ArtExpo with 100% of all sales proceeds going to help the victims of Haiti's disastrous January 12th earthquake. In South Florida up to 10 different restaurant locations are currently exhibiting the artwork for clients to order online, including The Capital Grille restaurant chain. Individual gallery-wrapped 11" x 11" pieces sell for $150 each. We'd like to thank the management of Miami Decor Moulding and Miami Editions for their generous contributions of their services and products.

North American Bancard in the Tri-Cities Area of East Tennessee

PCI Data Compliance and the small to medium sized merchants.

Elizabethton, TN (PRWEB) February 28, 2010 -- North American Bancard is the premier credit card processing company for small to medium sized businesses. Recently, North American Bancard has opened a new office in the Tri-Cities area of east Tennessee. This office will provide the small to medium sized businesses of the area to take advantage of face-to-face sales and customer service. Currently, North American Bancard is processing over 100,000 merchants in the U.S. We have prided ourselves on our amazing 24 hour 365 days a year customer service team. Also, North American Bancard is completely PCI (Payment Card Industry Standards) compiant with all of the Card Associations. PCI compliance is the storing of cardholder data electronically or with paper transactions. If these comliant issue are not taken care of the Card Associations impose a fee to the merchant. These fees can range from $10,000 to millions of dollars and the merchant whether small or a large company like Wal-mart must replace each carfholders credit and or debit card. For small merchants using a small countertop processing machine these issues are fairly easy to be compliant with. If the merchant is using a computer point-of-sale system regular security scans are required by a PCI certified company. The cost of keeping your business PCI compliant is usually under one hundred dollars and by far out weighs the consequences of having a data compliance issue. North American Bancard has business relationships with the top PCI certified security scan companys and for the small merchants we offer free compliance questionaires that have to be filled out annually. Bottom line is there is no reason for a business to have any PCI compliance issues at all. If your provider does not send you security updates you may want to take a look at the PCI industry standars website and find out what you need to do. Also you can call North American Bancard and we would be pleased to offer this free of charge.

DC DUI Lawyers React to DC Police Disclosure of Malfunctioning Breathalyzers

Flawed breathalyzer tests may overturn hundreds of DWI convictions in Washington DC. The Metropolitan Police Department announced that eight of their ten Intoxilizer 5000 breathalyzers used dating back to 2008 had issues with their accuracy.

Washington DC (PRWEB) February 27, 2010 -- Hundreds of DC DWI convictions may be overturned as a result of flawed breathalyzer tests. The Metropolitan Police Department says that eight of the ten Intoxilizer 5000 breathalyzers used since 2008 had issues with their accuracy. Washington DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier says the problems were discovered during an audit and the results were reported to DC's Office of the Attorney General.

Washington DC DUI Defense Lawyer David Benowitz
Washington DC DUI Defense Lawyer David Benowitz
Washington DC DUI defense attorney David Benowitz says "this finding doesn't surprise me." Benowitz had noticed that something was amiss in recent weeks when the Office of the Attorney General started dismissing DWI cases. Benowitz, a member of the National College of DUI Defense continues, "This means that hundreds of DWI convictions dating back to 2008 may be vacated. It may take some time to determine the full extent of these malfunctioning breathalyzers and what this fact will mean to those who have been convicted over the last two years."
This means that hundreds of DWI convictions dating back to 2008 may be vacated.
Jason Kalafat, an attorney with The Law Offices of David Benowitz, is similarly disappointed. "This shows a callous disregard for the rights of DC drivers. For most defendants a breathalyzer score is the single most significant piece of evidence that can put you in jail, cost you money and damage your career. The police have a duty to make sure such a critical piece of equipment is in proper working order." Kalafat also noted that in DWI cases, the government presents the breathalyzer as an objective measure of impairment thus if such results are questionable, as is now reportedly the case, the claimed basis for dozens or even hundreds of DWI convictions is called into question.

Mr. Benowitz is the Senior Partner at The Law Offices of David Benowitz, a DC DUI defense law firm based in Washington, DC, with offices in Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and Baltimore, Maryland. Benowitz is a seasoned DC DUI Lawyer who is a member of the National College for DUI Defense. Mr. Benowitz holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubell and has attained a perfect 10 rating from AVVO. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania cum laude, with a BA in American History. Mr. Benowitz graduated with honors from The George Washington University Law School, where he was a member of the Law Review, the Moot Court Board, and a student lawyer in the Washington DC Law Students in Court Program. Mr. Benowitz received an advanced law degree in Trial Advocacy from Temple University Law School.

Jason Kalafat, an attorney with The Law Offices of David Benowitz, handles DC DUI and DWI cases. Mr. Kalafat is an experienced DUI defense attorney who has defended clients at all levels of local, state and federal courts. Mr. Kalafat began his criminal defense practice as a Deputy Public Defender in Arizona, where he concentrated on felony and misdemeanor cases at the trial level, including DUI, Extreme DUI, Felony Aggravated DUI and vehicular homicide offenses. Later Mr. Kalafat joined the prestigious criminal defense boutique firm Kimerer & Derrick, where his practice concentrated on defending DUI cases. Mr. Kalafat graduated magna cum laude, with a BA in Philosophy, from West Virginia University, where he was the Arts & Sciences Graduate of the Year. Mr. Kalafat is a graduate of the Vanderbilt University School of Law.

For additional information on this story or other DUI defense matters, please contact The Law Offices of David Benowitz at (202) 529-9374. The Law Offices of David Benowitz are located at 406 5th Street, NW Washington DC 20001, as well as Bethesda, College Park, and Baltimore, Maryland.

Parsons Hosts New York Fashion Lawyer to Lecture in New York City on Copyright, Licensing, and other Protection for Fashion Designs

New York City Attorney’s review of design patent, trademark, copyright, and licensing contracts draws students wary of current market.

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 27, 2010 -- The Law Office of David H. Faux recently gave a lecture entitled “IP Lookbook: A Primer on Protection for Designers” at New York City’s pre-eminent Parsons the New School for Design. There have been discussions of developing the lecture into a short series. This speech framed the benefits, procedures, and common critiques of the design patent, trademark, copyright, and standard contractual licensing schemes available to fashion designers.

Fashion Attorney, David H. Faux
Fashion Attorney, David H. Faux
“The intellectual property laws of the United States attempt to balance freedom of speech and a free market on the one hand against encouraging an artist’s innovation and enabling society to have professionals in artistic fields on the other hand,” explained Dave Faux, principal of the law office located in the Garment District of New York City. “So far, though, the United States has allowed the creative work of fashion designers to slip through the cracks between creative freedom and incentives for that same creativity.”
. . . the United States has allowed the creative work of fashion designers to slip through the cracks between creative freedom and incentives for that same creativity.
The lecture addressed copyright, trademark, and design patent in a manner accessible to the undergraduate designer. It also reviewed some of the essential elements of a contract that will help the young fashion designer protect his or her work.

Due to the positive response from students and the college administration alike, David Faux hopes to make the lecture a regular feature at colleges and schools around New York City. "Students come to New York City to study the art of fashion design," he said. "Once they get their degrees, they often have little to no knowledge about how to make a licensing agreement and how to protect themselves through copyright and trademark. It is very difficult for a designer to survive without some basic knowledge in these areas."

Borders McLaughlin & Associates Family Violence Risk Assesments Admitted by Texas Court of Law in Custody Hearing

Evidence-based FVRA used for first time in Texas Court and now accepted as process and scientific method for high-risk evaluations

Irvine, Calif. (PRWEB) February 27, 2010 -- Borders McLaughlin & Associates, (www.bmaa.com), a firm specializing in evidence-based assessments in high-risk court cases, announced today that the company’s assessment process named Family Violence Risk Assessment (FVRA) was accepted by the Texas Court of Law as meeting the scientific requirements in high-risk court cases, and was admitted as evidence. This is the first time the FVRA was used in Texas as evidence in the judge’s final decision.

“Our FVRA has been used in several occasions in different parts of the United States, but this is the first time it was used as evidence in a court case in Texas,” said Borders McLaughlin & Associates chief executive officer, John McLaughlin, who also participated in the case as a witness to the evidence produced by FVRA. “We are committed to changing the way courts address high-risk assessments, and we are gladdened to see that Texas recognizes the importance of relying on scientific-based, factual evidence in these types of cases, as opposed to those states that rely solely on opinion-based testimony.”

The Borders McLaughlin & Associates Family Violence Risk Assessment is a fact-based process that uses technology, analytics, and years of expertise to combine human behavior, and evidence-based solutions to high-risk cases. For example, during the Texas case, John and associates where able to uncover a pattern to the accusations of abuse and molestation thereby providing the court with a clear pattern of behavior. That, in addition to other findings by the FVRA, provided sufficient factual evidence to convince the judge to rule that the supervised visitation should remain in place.

“Our innovative approach to assessments can save lives and doesn’t take months and months of evaluation meetings with different therapists and court appointed assessors,” added John. “FVRA finds the necessary facts to present to the court in a fraction of the time.”

The case was presented to the Llano County Court in Texas in February and the judge has already filed their opinion as of February 16, 2010.

For more information on the firm’s Family Threat Assessment solutions, visit http://www.bmaa.com.

About Borders McLaughlin & Associates
With more than 50 years of experience, interviewing thousands of victims, abusers and children involved in domestic violence, Borders, McLaughlin & Associates has developed the Family Violence Risk Assessment (FVRA). Our Assessment is a multi-dimensional approach that determines whether violence or abuse actually occurred, evaluates the future potential risk of the parties involved and clearly determines the potential risk to the children or any other party. Borders, McLaughlin is the only privately held firm authorized to use MOSAIC, a highly-developed computer-assisted method that provides guidance in the evaluation of situations that may escalate to violence. MOSAIC is used by governmental agencies to assess threats to public figures, celebrities, Supreme Court Justices and other governmental officials.

Two ex-vice presidents of AIG claim that a pervasive discrimatory atmosphere at the company is clear.

Stamford (PRWEB) February 27, 2010 -- Two ex-vice presidents of a unit of American International Group Inc. say that a pervasive discriminatory atmosphere at the company is clear, despite attempts by Joseph Cassano to deflect criticism.

Cassano is the former head of the AIG unit that brought the mammoth insurance company to the brink of collapse by placing risky bets on subprime loans.

Following the filing of a discrimination lawsuit by Susan Potter and Deonna Taylor, the two ex-vice presidents at the AIG derivatives unit in Wilton, Conn., Cassano released several emails in an apparent attempt to show that he treated men and women at the company equally.

Cassano is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit, which is against AIG.

“It is unfortunate that someone not directly involved in this suit is trying to intervene, selectively disclosing emails that are completely out of context, seemingly in a meager attempt to better his own previously sullied reputation,” said Atty. Deborah McKenna who is representing the two women.

“Clearly, Mr. Cassano is trying to deflect the negative attention he attracted by making light of legitimate and serious sex discrimination complaints that seem to have been fostered and tolerated under his regime,” said McKenna, of Outten & Golden, the Stamford and New York employment discrimination law firm

“We look forward to getting all of the facts through the discovery process, including emails from Mr. Cassano that he may have found not to his advantage to disclose,” McKenna said. “At this point, we are trying to shelter the two women who filed these complaints because the history at AIG suggests that they might be subject to some sort of retaliation.”

“We look forward to the day when we will be able to bring this case to a jury,” she said.

The lawsuit, filed Feb. 19 in U.S. District Court in Hartford, alleges that Potter and Taylor were “subjected to adverse terms and conditions of employment, including termination because of their age and sex.” (Case # 3: 10-cv-00250-RNC)

The lawsuit says the women were paid less than men in similar positions of responsibility, highlighting AIG’s long history of undervaluing the contributions of older women.

Outten & Golden LLP represents employees, executives and partners in all areas of employment law. From representing senior executives in contract negotiations, to protecting individuals' civil rights in the workplace, to combating worker exploitation and systemic discrimination in class action and impact litigation, Outten & Golden LLP is a recognized leader in the field of employment law.

Samson Hair Restoration announces new physician in Santa Clarita Valley.

Dr. Craig Ingber an experienced Head and Neck surgeon has joined Samson Hair Restoration in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2010 -- Samson Hair Restoration announced today its affiliation with Craig Ingber, MD to serve hair transplantation patients in the Santa Clarita Valley, Palmdale, Lancaster, and Bakersfield. Dr. Ingber, a head and neck surgeon with an extensive background in cosmetic procedures, maintains his office in Valencia, CA.

"We're very excited about this relationship with Dr. Ingber. He happens to possess the rare combination of aesthetic sensitivity, surgical talent, communications ability and integrity that we seek in all Samson Physicians. We feel very confident that he will continue to deliver the outstanding level of care that Samson patients receive. Additionally, he is located in an area of high demand for hair transplantation procedures,” commented William McCullough, President of Samson Hair Restoration.

The affiliation with Dr. Ingber will allow patients in northern Los Angeles County and adjacent areas to avail themselves of the proprietary Samson procedures without having to travel all the way to the Sherman Oaks office to do so. There are few, if any, hair transplant physicians in these areas, and the quality of the procedures tends to be lacking.

“I’m very pleased to be joining the Samson network of physicians. I started performing hair transplant procedures in the early 90s when the procedures were quite crude and discontinued the procedure because I wasn’t satisfied with the results. I was amazed when I saw the quality of work performed by Samson and have now introduced the Samson technique into my practice,” explained Dr. Ingber.

“As I’ve gotten to know Craig Ingber, I’m ever more convinced that he is an outstanding addition to the Samson group of physicians. It’s not just his surgical ability, but his whole approach to patients is superior,” added McCullough.

With offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Los Angeles, California, Samson Hair Restoration specializes in the treatment of hair loss in men and women with a particular emphasis on hair transplantation. The company has developed surgical innovations such as their Quadrian Hairline Technique that result in stunningly natural looking results. Further, they have developed a proprietary anesthesia system known as the Pyllo Anesthesia System that insures their procedures are far more comfortable. Hair loss consultations at Samson are complimentary, and patients learn about all their options for treating hair loss.

Maher Law Firm Warns Avandia Users - NY Times Reports - FDA Recommends Recall of Avandia

According to the New York Times, hundreds of people taking the type-2 diabetes drug Avandia® suffer heart attacks and heart failure as result of its use. For more information, contact the Maher Law firm.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) February 26, 2010 -- Maher Law Firm attorneys are investigating possible Avandia® claims. Contact an experienced personal injury lawyer – one familiar with Avandia®’s potentially fatal side effects – if you or a loved one has experienced heart problems after Avandia® use.

The article, published in the Friday edition (02/19/2010), cites confidential government reports stating that if Avandia® users were instead treated with Actos, a similar pill, about 500 heart attacks and 300 cases of heart failure would be averted each month.

An internal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) report recommends Avandia®, or “rosiglitazone” be removed from the market. The authors, Dr. David Graham and Dr. Kate Gelperin, both urge Avandia®’s withdrawal.

According to the New York Times, the reports have ignited debate within the FDA as to what to do about Avandia®. While some officials support its withdrawal, others believe more testing is needed.

What is Avandia®?
Avandia®, or rosiglitazone, is a popular prescription drug, manufactured by the U.K. pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline, used to treat “type-2” or “adult-onset” diabetes.

Avandia® was once one of the biggest-selling drugs in the world. Driven in part by a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign, sales were $3.2 billion in 2006. However, after a 2007 study by a Cleveland Clinic cardiologist linked the drug to heart problems prompting an FDA warning, sales plummeted. A committee of independent experts found in 2007 that Avandia might increase the risk of heart attack but recommended that it remain on the market, and an FDA oversight board voted 8 to 7 to accept that advice.

FDA Urges Patients Not to Discontinue Avandia® Use
The FDA said Monday that for now, patients should not stop taking Avandia® without first speaking with their healthcare professional. Patients should discuss any questions or concerns with their physician. Report any side effects to FDA’s MedWatch program.

Senate: Maker Should Have Warned Patients
Senate investigators concluded that GlaxoSmithKline should have warned patients earlier of Avandia®’s potential side effects. The bipartisan multiyear Senate investigation states GlaxoSmithKline failed to warn patients years earlier that Avandia was potentially deadly.

“Instead, G.S.K. executives attempted to intimidate independent physicians, focused on strategies to minimize or misrepresent findings that Avandia may increase cardiovascular risk, and sought ways to downplay findings that a competing drug might reduce cardiovascular risk,” concludes the report, which was overseen by Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, and Senator Charles E. Grassley, an Iowa Republican.

Loyola Law School’s Journalist Law School Accepting Applications for 2010 Fellowship

The Civil Justice Program at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles is now accepting applications for its fifth-annual Journalist Law School fellowship (JLS), to be held June 16-19 on Loyola Law’s Frank Gehry-designed downtown Los Angeles campus. Applications are due by Monday, March 22.

Los Angeles (Vocus/PRWEB ) February 26, 2010 -- The Civil Justice Program at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles is now accepting applications for its fifth-annual Journalist Law School fellowship (JLS), to be held June 16-19 on Loyola Law’s Frank Gehry-designed downtown Los Angeles campus. Applications are due by Monday, March 22.
News Image
The fellowship condenses three years of law school into a long weekend filled with courses taught by Loyola Law faculty, practicing attorneys and jurists. Journalist fellows, who are competitively selected, receive a certificate of completion at the end of the four-day program. More than 130 reporters, editors and producers have completed the fellowship from a wide range of local, national and international news organizations.

Journalists with at least three years of experience who cover the law in some fashion are encouraged to apply. There is no cost to journalists; instruction, lodging and most meals are included in the fellowship. And the Journalist Law School will cover half of travel expenses up to $300. Complete details, including application information and a downloadable brochure, are available at www.lls.edu/cjp/jls. Questions about the program may be directed to Brian Costello, deputy director of communications, at 213-736-1444 (d).

Journalists provide the keys to understanding the most complex institutions in our society, including the courts.
Loyola’s Civil Justice Program started the JLS in 2006 as a way to help journalists navigate the complexities of the legal system and enhance their coverage of it. “Journalists provide the keys to understanding the most complex institutions in our society, including the courts,” said Professor John Nockleby, director of the JLS and Loyola’s Civil Justice Program. “If journalists have a deeper understanding of law and the legal system, they can help the public better understand – and critique – that system.”

The core faculty members -- Professors Nockleby, Laurie Levenson, Karl Manheim and Lauren Willis – will lecture on civil, criminal and constitutional law and other primary topics. Additional faculty will lead breakout sessions, which accepted fellows will suggest and select in advance. Past breakout sessions include: After the Crisis: Mortgages, Credit Cards & Payday Lending; Disability Rights Law; Dynamics of the Supreme Court; Election Law; Family Law & Children; Habeas Corpus & the Death Penalty; Intellectual Property; Juvenile Law, the Law of War; Laws of Demonstrations; Legal & Judicial Ethics; Racial Discrimination and News Coverage; the Rules Governing Admission of Evidence at Trial; and Terrorists & Noncombatants: Guantanamo & Due Process. Law as it relates to the economic crisis will be a featured topic at the 2010 JLS.

JLS lectures are supplemented by speaker events featuring a variety of lawyers, judges and veteran journalists. Previous speakers include Shirley Abrahamson, chief justice, Wisconsin Supreme Court; Harland Braun, who represented Robert Blake in his murder trial, Law Offices of Harland Braun; Linda Deutsch, AP legal reporter; Mark Geragos ’82, who represented Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson, Law Offices of Geragos & Geragos; George W. Greer, judge in the Terri Schiavo case, Sixth Judicial Circuit; Nora Manella, California Court of Appeal; and Jim Newton, Los Angeles Times editorial page editor.

What previous fellows have said about the JLS fellowship:

“This should probably be required of all journalists earlier in their careers.”

“It’s a program that delivers on its promise: teach journalists a better, more comprehensive understanding of the law.”

“I came to the program expecting a crash course in the law and, fortunately, I got that. I really felt I was being taught by the very best legal academic minds and it both humbled me and inspired me to re-dedicate myself to better journalistic endeavors down the road. The payoff: accurate reporting and thus a more well-informed society.”

“The professors at Loyola Law School know their stuff. I can’t think of any session where I questioned the level of knowledge held by the speaker – and, as a reporter, I am paid to be skeptical of people’s words.”

The American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) is a founding sponsor of the program.
