</td> </tr></table></td></tr></table></i> </p> <p> Washington, D.C. (<a href="http://www.vocus.com" target="_blank">Vocus</a>/<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a> ) July 9, 2010 -- The United States District Court in the District of Columbia has granted the motion filed by the Lawyers’ Committee and its co-counsel on behalf of Georgia citizens and organizations in State of Georgia v. Holder (Case # 10-1062). This will enable the Lawyers’ Committee and its allies to continue working to prevent implementation of a discriminatory voter verification system and to defend the constitutionality of an important provision of the Voting Rights Act. </p>
<p>Because of Georgia’s history of discrimination in voting, it is one of nine states covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. As a covered state, Georgia must demonstrate to the Department of Justice (DOJ) or the District Court of the District of Columbia that any changes to its voting procedure or practices are nondiscriminatory before Georgia can implement the changes. </p>
<p>Prior to the November 2008 election, Georgia Election Protection and the Lawyers’ Committee learned that Georgia was informing its counties not to accept the registration of voter applicants who showed up as alleged “non-citizens” in the Department of Drivers Services database unless and until those citizens provided proof of citizenship. The purported non-citizen list turned out to be riddled with errors. Because Georgia implemented these new procedures without seeking federal preclearance, the Lawyers’ Committee and its partners filed suit in federal court in Georgia to block their implementation in Morales v. Handel (Case # 1:08-cv-3712). Subsequent to the filing of the Morales case, Georgia submitted the procedures to DOJ and DOJ objected to them on the ground that they had a discriminatory effect upon minority voters. </p>
<p>Having failed to get preclearance from DOJ for the procedures at issue in Morales and other voter verification procedures, Georgia now seeks preclearance from the District Court in the District of Columbia. Georgia has also made the alternative claim that if the court denies preclearance, Section 5 is unconstitutional as it applies to Georgia.</p>
<p>The Lawyers’ Committee is co-counseling with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Foundation, the ACLU of the Nation’s Capital and the ACLU of Georgia in representing Tyrone Brooks, the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials, Edward O. Dubose, the Georgia State Conference of the NAACP, Helen Butler and the Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda.</p>
<p>“The voter verification procedures Georgia seeks to implement are flawed and discriminatory,” stated Jon Greenbaum, legal director for the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. “In addition, Georgia’s past and ongoing record of voting discrimination justify why Section 5 continues to be needed in Georgia.”</p>

<p>About the Lawyers’ Committee<br>The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (LCCRUL), a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, was formed in 1963 at the request of President John F. Kennedy to involve the private bar in providing legal services to address racial discrimination. The principal mission of the Lawyers’ Committee is to secure, through the rule of law, equal justice under law, particularly in the areas of fair housing and fair lending, community development, employment discrimination, voting, education and environmental justice.

“Stamp of Approval” at Five Private Prisons <p> <i>On July 9, private prison firm Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) announced that five of the company’s prisons had been recommended for re-accreditation by the American Correctional Association (ACA), which CCA described as a “stamp of approval.” CCA did not mention that it had paid over $22,000 for those five accreditations, that CCA employees serve as ACA auditors, that CCA is a major sponsor of ACA events, or that ACA-accredited CCA facilities have experienced major security problems.</i> </p> <p> Nashville, TN (<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a>) July 9, 2010 -- On July 9, private prison firm Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) announced that five of the company’s prisons had been recommended for re-accreditation by the American Correctional Association (ACA), which CCA described as a “stamp of approval.”</p>
<p>The ACA, a private non-governmental organization composed of current and former corrections employees, offers voluntary accreditation of detention facilities based on the ACA’s self-created standards. There is no oversight or regulation of the organization beyond its own staff. </p>

</td> </tr></table> The ACA’s president-elect, Davidson County, Tennessee Sheriff Daron Hall, is a former CCA program director, and at least two CCA employees serve as ACA auditors – CCA warden Todd Thomas and company vice president Dennis Bradby. <p>The ACA provides accreditation services to correctional agencies, both public and private, for a fee. As stated by the ACA, facilities that seek accreditation must “pay an accreditation fee.” The organization relies heavily on such fees. For example, in 2008 the ACA reported receiving more than $3.83 million in accreditation fees – over 40% of the organization’s total revenue for that year. Facilities that fail accreditation can re-apply, and the ACA provides waivers for failure to meet certain accreditation standards.</p>
<p>According to a <a href="http://www.aca.org/standards/pdfs/AccreditationFeeLetter.pdf" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="ACA letter">letter</a> posted on the ACA’s website, effective as of January 1, 2009, the cost of accreditation is “$3,000 per day, plus $1,500 for each auditor on the audit team regardless of the size or type of facility.” Thus, at a minimum, CCA paid $22,500 to the ACA in order to obtain re-accreditation at five of the company’s prisons as announced in CCA’s July 9 press release. Last year, CCA paid at least $63,000 to have 13 of its facilities accredited.</p>
<p>ACA accreditation is based largely on documentation provided by the correctional agency being examined, and whether it has certain policies in place – not necessarily whether it follows those policies in practice. Thus, some ACA-accredited CCA facilities have experienced significant problems despite being accredited. For example, earlier this year two prisoners were murdered at CCA’s <a href="http://www.kitv.com/news/24000226/detail.html" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="Saguaro">Saguaro Correctional Center</a> in Eloy, Arizona, which is ACA accredited; CCA’s ACA-accredited<a href="http://www.aclu.org/prisoners-rights/aclu-lawsuit-charges-idaho-prison-officials-promote-rampant-violence" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="Idaho"> Idaho Correctional Center</a> is presently the subject of an ACLU class-action lawsuit that describes systemic violence condoned by CCA staff; and both Hawaii and Kentucky prison officials removed their female prisoners from the CCA-operated <a href="https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/259_displayNews.aspx" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="Otter Creek">Otter Creek Correctional Center</a> in Kentucky, which is also ACA accredited, following a sex abuse scandal in which six CCA employees were charged with sexually abusing or raping prisoners.</p>
<p>One former CCA employee, <a href="http://www.pahrumplife.org/2009/09/13-million-settlement-against-cca.html" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="Como">Donna Como</a>, who served as an accreditation manager, candidly admitted that she helped falsify documents for an ACA audit. “I was the person who doctored the ACA accreditation reports for this company," she stated in December 2008, referring to her employment at the CCA-operated Southern Nevada Women’s Correctional Facility.</p>
<p>In addition to the tens of thousands of dollars that CCA pays to the ACA for accreditation, CCA is also a major sponsor of the ACA’s biannual conferences. In August 2009, CCA sponsored the main banquet at the ACA’s 139th Congress of Corrections held in Nashville, Tennessee – where CCA is headquartered – and has been a major financial supporter of other ACA events. +</p>
<p>“CCA proclaims ACA accreditation of the company’s private, for-profit facilities as a badge of honor and an indication of the quality of CCA’s services,” said Alex Friedmann, president of the Private Corrections Institute and a former CCA prisoner. “Yet CCA basically buys accreditations by paying tens of thousands of dollars in fees, CCA employees serve as ACA auditors, and CCA is a major financial sponsor of the ACA’s conferences. It is disingenuous for CCA to describe ACA accreditation as a ‘stamp of approval’ when the ACA, a private organization that sets its own standards, accepts payments and donations from CCA. That is simply a stamp of CCA getting what it has paid for.”</p>
<p> <br>+ The Private Corrections Institute had a paid booth at the ACA convention in August 2009, where PCI members distributed literature opposing prison privatization.</p>

Fiduciary Law <p> <i>Merritt: ‘A Major Victory for Consumers and Payers Who Want Lower Prescription Drug Costs’</i> </p> <p> Washington, DC (<a href="http://www.vocus.com" target="_blank">Vocus</a>/<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a> ) July 9, 2010 -- In a major victory for consumers and payers, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia today struck down a District law that would have designated pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) as "fiduciaries" (case number 09-7042). The Court found the key portions of the law, Title II of the DC AccessRx Act of 2004, unconstitutional. A three-judge panel unanimously affirmed a 2009 District Court ruling, finding that, since PBMs engage in claims administration for their clients and are regulated exclusively by Federal ERISA law, states and municipalities cannot impose such requirements.</p>
<p>“This ruling from one of the most respected Federal Appeals Courts in the country allows PBMs to continue to work aggressively to reduce the costs and improve the quality of prescription drug benefits for the 200 million Americans they serve,” said <a href="http://www.pcmanet.org" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA)">Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA)</a> President and CEO Mark Merritt. </p>

</td> </tr></table> The D.C. law never went into effect, as a result of an immediate injunction issued by a lower court and subsequent Court rulings (case number 04-1082 RMU). The Court specifically rejected a contrary holding relating to a “nearly identical” Maine statute (First Circuit: 429 F. 3d 294(2005), case number 05-1606) issued by another Appeals Court, stating that “in our view the uniform administrative scheme encouraged by ERISA includes plan administrative functions performed by a third party on behalf of an EBP (employee benefits plan).”<p>Dozens of states have rejected legislation imposing similar requirements on PBMs upon realizing that such proposals inadvertently raise, not reduce, prescription drug costs.</p>
<p>PCMA represents the nation’s pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), which improve affordability and quality of care through the use of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing), generic alternatives, mail-service pharmacies, and other innovative tools for 210-plus million Americans.</p>

Find Justice <p> <i>In December 2007 a construction worker was killed and another 18 were hospitalized when a parking structure they were working on at Berkman Plaza collapsed. CSS Firm is representing 5 of these individuals, all of whom sustained serious, long-term injuries in a lawsuit seeking compensation from the contractors and subcontractors who operated the project for their alleged gross negligence which lead to the collapse.</i> </p> <p> Atlanta, Ga. (<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a>) July 9, 2010 -- Just a few weeks before Christmas, in December 2007, a construction worker was killed when the parking garage structure he was working on collapsed. Another 18 were hospitalized after the calamity and five sustained serious, long-term injuries. The law firm of Childers, Schlueter & Smith today announced it is seeking justice for workers who suffered serious injuries in the collapse.</p>
<p>According to trauma surgeon Dr. Joan Huffman, "The patients were somewhat in emotional shock. They were covered with dirt and concrete. They were frightened." Rescue teams searched the rubble, but were unable to find 26-year-old worker Willie Edwards III’s body until two days later. </p>
<p>More than two years after the collapse, court battles argue over the true cause of the collapse. Formwork subcontractor Southern Pan Services is fighting $132,500 in Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) fines, alleging the collapse resulted from the removal of temporary supports on the building's lower floors.</p>
<p>According to builder Choate’s superintendant on the job, Greg Roberts, the designer’s plans were delivered incomplete and often provided conflicting directions on how construction should be performed. Based on recordings provided by Roberts to the attorney for Willie Edwards III, he told Choate about the problems and the company chose to ignore them. However, OSHA absolved Choate for any wrongdoing, even after release of the recordings.</p>
<p>The suits, filed on behalf of workers Olvin Martinez (Civil Action 10A27706-2), Santos Ramirez (Civil Action 10A27708-2), Enrique Sierra (Civil Action 10A27707-2) and Ryan Thornhill (Civil Action 10A27709-2) in the State Court of Dekalb County, State of Georgia, seeks compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering for the Plaintiffs, plus punitive damages for the alleged gross negligence of the contractors and subcontractors working on the building. </p>
<p>About Childers, Schlueter & Smith</p>
<p>Childers, Schlueter & Smith is a preeminent Georgia law firm that takes pride in years of experience and exceptional results. The firm’s personal injury and wrongful death lawyers are devoted to helping victims nationwide receive compensation for their losses. Today, the firm has recovered more than $150,000,000 in verdicts and settlements for their clients.</p>

DeMeo, an attorney with the suburban Maryland law firm of Joseph, Greenwald and Laake, PA shared her personal story of divorce and its effects on her business and professional life. DeMeo's story was featured in the Washington Post and several other media outlets.</i> </p> <p> (<a href="http://www.vocus.com" target="_blank">Vocus</a>/<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a> ) July 9, 2010 -- Regina A. DeMeo, an attorney with Joseph, Greenwald & Laake, PA (<a href="http://www.jgllaw.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank">http://www.jgllaw.com</a>) helped to shed some light on the recent debate over the Uniform Collaborative Law Act.</p>
<div style="padding-left:5px;float:right; width:250px "> <div><img style="margin:10px 5px;" src="http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2010/07/08/4237834/gI_0_0_DeMeo.jpg" align="right" alt="Regina DeMeo, Esquire" border="0"></div> <div style="text-align:center;clear:both;margin:1px 10px;font-weight:bold;width:250;">Regina DeMeo, Esquire</div> </div>
<p>On June 20, 2010, the Washington Post featured Ms. DeMeo’s personal story and how her own divorce sparked her interest in promoting Collaborative Divorce. That story has been picked up by journals all over the country, and last week became one of the American Bar Association Journal’s top 10 stories of the week. The public debate that has been fueled by this story has finally brought to the surface a political struggle that has gone undetected by most Americans for some time. There are heavy lobbying forces that do not want the Uniform Collaborative Law Act to pass in their states, including Maryland. </p>
<p>Collaborative Divorce is an alternative to litigation, where the parties agree not to go to court, to exchange all relevant information, and to work together to generate options for a final resolution that is in the family’s best interest. The parties’ counsel will work together with mental health professionals, known as “divorce coaches” and a financial expert to assist the parties in reaching a settlement that both parties can live with. The normal privileges of confidentiality are waived, so that the team can work together to better understand the parties’ concerns and generate solutions to address those issues. If the parties are unable to reach a final agreement, the entire team is disbanded, and the parties must obtain all new counsel and outside experts. The incentive is therefore high for the parties and all experts involved to work together to reach a final resolution, using the law as just one of many reference points in determining a fair outcome. </p>
<p>Ms. DeMeo is currently Co-President of Collaborative Divorce Association, Inc. in Maryland, and she lectures at Georgetown University, The George Washington University Law School, and various associations and court venues on this topic. Collaborative Divorce currently comprises about 25% of her family law practice at Joseph, Greenwald & Laake, PA. </p>
<p>Joseph Greenwald & Laake is a full service law firm with 33 lawyers, practicing in several areas, including family law, business, real estate, trust and estates, tax, criminal, employment, personal injury and medical malpractice. JGL serves local and national clients in Washington, DC, and throughout Maryland. It has offices in Montgomery, Prince George’s and Howard Counties.</p> <p>See Also:</p><ul>

<p>Attorneys from the New York law firm of <a href="http://www.cellinoandbarnes.com/" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="Cellino & Barnes">Cellino & Barnes</a> secured the verdict for the plaintiff in the case, Kelvin Seawright v. Omar Crooks and Joe Rambo (Index No. 06/88270), which was tried in Monroe County Civil Court before Judge Ann Marie Taddeo.</p>
<p>The plaintiff, who was 39 years old on the date of the accident, earned his living as a forklift operator with a temporary agency, where he was paid $10.00 per hour. On November 17, 2003, he was a front seat restrained passenger when a car operated by Omar Crooks and owned by Joe Rambo, Jr. struck the back of a stopped SUV on Genesee Street in Rochester. Driver inattention was to blame.</p>
<p>The plaintiff was ultimately diagnosed as having suffered a cervical sprain and later, after having an MRI, it was revealed that he suffered a small annular tear and disc herniation. The plaintiff received 149 chiropractic visits in three years, but was unable to complete treatment because his benefits were terminated. He ultimately returned to work on his own in 2008 as a security guard and was restricted to performing sedentary and light duty work.</p>
<p>"We are very gratified that the jurors carefully reviewed the evidence presented at the four-day trial and returned a verdict that we feel justly compensates our client for the medical bills and lost income he suffered as a result of the driver's negligence," said <a href="http://www.cellinoandbarnes.com/Personal_Injury_Attorneys/A/Richard_P_Amico.aspx" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="Richard P. Amico">Richard P. Amico</a>, an experienced trial attorney at Cellino & Barnes, one of the nation's largest personal injury law firms.</p>
<p>According to Amico's co-counsel, Timothy Hedges, the plaintiff was awarded $750,000 for past pain and suffering, $85,000 for past wages from 2003 to 2008, and $3,000,000 in future pain and suffering over the next 30.9 years. Amico and Hedges were offered $15,000 to settle the claim after the close of evidence, but were confident that the jury would deliver justice to their client.</p>

<p><img style="margin:10px 5px;" src="http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2010/07/08/616044/gI_0_statelawtv.jpg" align="right" alt="StateLawTV, lawyers, law. legal, trial lawyers" border="0"></p>
<p>John starts off by saying a few things that Speaker finds devastatingly misleading. Here are a couple of his quotes:</p>
<p>“I have really had enough. These guys say we’re just out there to save you and make society safer but they just serve themselves and make us less safe.”</p>
<p>Speaker’s response is, “John, how about if we take a recent example -- the BP Gulf Oil Spill. I’m not a lawyer but I’ve been in the legal industry for 15 years and it appears to me that the facts surrounding the Gulf Oil Spill are probably going to point to evidence that BP was cutting corners on safety issues and their propensity to value profits over people may well have been responsible for this catastrophic disaster. Now John, what do you think will happen if lawyers don’t step in and determine things like blame, the quantification of loss of business and livelihood? When you say what you said, it frankly leads me to believe that you are being backed by the big business entities and insurance companies that are so anxious to tell us we don’t need lawyers. Instead, they tell us they will take care of everything.“</p>
<p>Speaker went on to say, “and while we’re talking about the BP Oil Spill let’s talk about what BP is doing right now and why I believe every individual that has suffered a loss of livelihood in this disaster does need a lawyer. What we’re seeing is BP attempting to settle with business owners for a fraction of what they will lose this year. If the person consults with a <a href="http://statelawtv.com/" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="lawyer">lawyer</a> -- that lawyer is going to have accountants and financial experts involved to quantify future losses and diminution of their businesses as well. BP is not going to volunteer to do that. So John, what do you recommend?”</p>
<p>Speaker stated that her father was killed by a drunk driver when she was 20 years old. “We subscribed to the kind of outdated thinking that frankly, I believe you are purporting in your show -- or at least in the clip I saw. We didn’t think we needed a lawyer. The insurance company would do the right thing. Well John, the insurance company did not do the right thing or anything. My mother raised 5 children and worked everyday as a secretary at a school to keep everything afloat. Do you think that was fair? I don’t. I think that we paid for insurance and the other guy paid for insurance and somebody besides my mother should have stepped up to the plate. But they didn’t John. And if you think that big insurance companies and corporations like BP are going to step up to the plate and do the right thing without lawyers to propel them -- then I really have concerns about you. Either your research is being funded by some of these big insurance companies and corporations or I think you just did some pretty lousy research that lacks a balanced view.”</p>
<p>Speaker did concur that there are some sleazy lawyers out there. She does not dispute that. However, Speaker believes that every industry has their fair share of sleaze.</p>
<p>Speaker believes that many lawyers are unsung heroes and she respectfully asks that Mr. Stossel stop giving unbalanced reports about lawyers. She states, “It’s just not fair and I believe it sometimes keeps victims from getting the help and justice that only a lawyer can get them."</p>

</table></i> </p> <p> Bentonville, AR (<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a>) July 8, 2010 -- Existing small business owners and entrepreneurs with hopes of starting up continue to seek access to capital in the form of bank loans, yet are still struggling to land credit. Only half of small businesses that tried to borrow last year got all or most of what they needed, according to a survey by the National Federation of Independent Business. In the mid-2000s, 90% of businesses said they got the loans they needed.</p>
<div style="padding-left:5px;float:right; width:255px "> <div><img style="margin:10px 5px;" src="http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2010/01/15/1320734/gI_0_SamsClubPrimaryrgb.jpg" align="right" alt="Sam's Club Offers Small Business Loan Program" border="0"></div> <div style="text-align:center;clear:both;margin:1px 10px;font-weight:bold;width:250;">Sam's Club Offers Small Business Loan Program</div> </div>
<p>To help support small business and its business members, Sam's Club announced today it is testing an online program with Superior Financial Group, the Nation's leading Small Business Administration (SBA) lender, which would make $5,000 to $25,000 loans available to its members who qualify. (More information here: <a href="http://www.samsclub.com/sams/pagedetails/content.jsp?pageName=sbaLoanProgram&iid=051810_RFI%7CNP%7CSBA_Loans" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank">http://www.samsclub.com/sams/pagedetails/content.jsp?pageName=sbaLoanProgram&iid=051810_RFI%7CNP%7CSBA_Loans</a>)</p>
<p>In a November 2009 state of small business survey conducted by Sam's Club, nearly 15 percent of its business members reported being denied a loan to run their operation, up from 12 percent in April 2009.<br>The Sam's Club small business loan pilot program is a first-of-its-kind and will complement other offerings that cater to small business including low rate merchant credit card processing, convenient order-ahead programs and early shopping hours.</p>
<p>The Sam's Club small business loan pilot will focus on serving Main Street minority, women and Veteran owned small business owners as well as micro-entrepreneurs under the SBA's Premier Outreach Express products such as Community Express, Patriot Express and Export Express loans.</p>
<p>"Access to capital is a major pain point for our members and the small business Main Street community. We believe this pilot program is a step in the right direction to help fuel small business growth and create jobs to stimulate our economy. It's also simple to apply and costs less, which is consistent with our goal to help our members make smart choices and provide superior value," said Catherine Corley, vice president, Membership at Sam's Club.</p>
<p>SFG is one of only 13 approved Small Business Lending Corporations (SBLC) federally regulated by the SBA, and specializes in providing access to credit for Main Street and underserved borrowers. Additionally, SFG offers free online technical assistance and online training courses that specifically target the borrower's weaknesses. The courses even include a "how to" on writing a business plan, complete with a business plan writing template. </p>
<p>"All Lenders are trying to make an impact on Main Street, which includes minorities, women and veterans to help create jobs. Main Street however remains the most difficult underserved market to reach, said Tim Jochner, CEO Superior Financial Group. "Sam's Club together with SBA's premier outreach express loan programs provide both a unique and powerful opportunity to reach and provide capital along with technical assistance and training to increase successful penetration into this underserved space."</p>
<p>Sam's Club members who apply for a small business loan online during the pilot will receive a $100 off the application fee, a 20 percent discount and a 7.5 APR, which is 25 basis point discount. The terms of the loans will remain at 10 years, which is common to help keep monthly payments low. There is no penalty for early repayment. Business memberships cost $35 annually at Sam's Club.</p>
<p>While the majority of the Sam's Club small business loan pilot program is to be delivered online, Sam's Club will test some in club communication and other marketing efforts to reach business members and small business owners.

</td> </tr></table> “Receiving LEED Gold recognition is a rewarding benefit to creating a healthy and sustainable work space,” said Haynes and Boone Managing Partner <a href="http://www.haynesboone.com/Terry_Conner/" onclick="linkClick( this.href );" target="_blank" title="Terry Conner">Terry Conner</a>. “The developer, Hillwood, did a great job laying the green foundation for us, and our planners took it from there. From attorneys and staff to our architects, everyone got behind this project and pushed to make it work so elegantly.”<p>LEED is regarded as the preeminent program for rating the design, construction and operation of green buildings. Its rating systems are prerequisites and credits designed to measure performance in the areas of sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. </p>
<p>Hillwood had already positioned One Victory Park for LEED Silver certification for the “core and shell,” a major boost in the point-accumulation process at the heart of Haynes and Boone’s Gold ambitions. Selection of Gensler as interior architect was also key. Gensler’s early involvement allowed an interior architectural team to educate the firm’s planning and design committees on the benefits of conforming to as many LEED requirements as reasonably possible. </p>
<p>Specific green features and initiatives of the Haynes and Boone office include: 15 percent reduction in lighting power density; 30 percent reduction in indoor potable water use; 90 percent of eligible office equipment is ENERGY STAR qualified; use of materials with 20 percent recycled content; use of low-emitting materials, paints, adhesives and sealants; and 50 percent diversion of construction waste materials. Gensler designed the interior spaces and managed the LEED certification process.</p>
<p>“The certification requirements involve just about every construction detail you can imagine,” Mr. Conner said. “It was a challenge to go for the Gold, but well worth the effort in the end. It’s just the right thing to do for our people as well as the environment.”</p>
<p>One Victory Park is located in Uptown Dallas, between downtown Dallas and the Turtle Creek area and immediately adjacent to the American Airlines Center and the W Hotel. Hines manages and leases the property and owns it in a joint venture with affiliates of Estein & Associates USA, Ltd.</p>
<p>“Haynes and Boone has shown tremendous leadership and vision in pursuing a green build-out of their space,” said Hines One Victory Park Property Manager Dan Gesin. “Emerging green building research indicates that green spaces can have a dramatic impact on the productivity of employees, whose costs comprise the largest subset of a company’s overhead.”</p>

</td> </tr></table> Anti-Phishing Phil is an engaging online game that teaches people how to avoid falling for phishing attacks by training them to identify fraudulent URLs. Phil is a fun fish character that swims through the ocean searching for worms affixed with URLs. Users learn to analyze URLs and determine whether they are fraudulent or not.<p>Dr. Norman Sadeh, CEO and co-founder of Wombat Security Technologies said, “With Anti-Phishing Phil 2.0 we have made the most effective anti-phishing training and awareness game available in the market today even better. The new release is designed to be even more compelling and to make it even easier for security professionals to deploy in a wide variety of environments. Anti-Phishing Phil is built on solid learning science principles. It is designed to be fun to play and to ensure that users are most likely to retain what they learn while playing the game.”</p>
<p>In contrast to more traditional training solutions, the Phil game has been shown to be significantly more effective in helping people recognize phishing attacks. According to the Scientific American article “How to Foil ‘Phishing’ Scams” that featured the game, “the ability of subjects who had played the game to distinguish legitimate URLs from fraudulent ones improved nearly twice as much as that of those trained with standard materials.”</p>
<p>Anti-Phishing Phil has been licensed to both private sector and government organizations and is one of several highly effective anti-phishing training solutions commercialized by Wombat Security Technologies today.</p>

Criminal Charges <p> <i>With the rise of the Internet has come internet-based crimes, from child pornography to internet fraud to copyright crimes. The Chetson Firm, a Raleigh criminal law firm, warns that this presents unique challenges to police, and to lawyers. A Raleigh lawyer who is not familiar with the technologies that support the internet - from peer-to-peer networking and file sharing, to encryption schemes that protect data - may not be able to adequately defend you against charges of Internet fraud, distribution of pornography, or other kinds of internet-based crimes.</i> </p> <p> Raleigh, NC (<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a>) July 8, 2010 -- There are many different types of Internet crimes, including child pornography, wire fraud, copyright crimes, trademark crimes, bank fraud, and other kinds of theft or embezzlement. People accused of using a computer or the internet to commit a crime, are most in need of a Raleigh criminal lawyer, like The Chetson Firm, who is very familiar with the technologies associated with the internet and cyberspace, including TCP/IP, peer-to-peer technologies, and the details of storage formats. </p>
<p>Defendants accused of a crime in Raleigh involving the internet, or computer technologies, including the ones listed above – child pornography, wire fraud, copyright crimes, and other kinds of bank fraud or embezzlement – should consult with a Raleigh lawyer who understands and has worked with these technologies, and who can build the strongest possible defense to these cases.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many criminal defense lawyers simply do not understand the details of technology, including how data is transmitted, how it is stored, how it is archived, and where it might be.</p>
<p>What’s more, many criminal lawyers do not understand how the details of how data is stored, archived, searched, and maintained on the Internet. They don’t understand how to advise clients who come to them with cases that involve the use of computers.</p>
<p>And since so many cases these days deal with computers – whether they are financial crimes cases, cases involving the information that may be on Facebook or Twitter, or cases that may involve chat networks such protocols as IRC, ICQ, Jabber, or cases that involve the storage of files in the cloud or on harddrives – it’s crucially important for people being investigated or accused of a crime that involves the use of computer technology that they find Raleigh criminal lawyers who are familiar with all of these details, from TCP/IP protocols to cloud-based computing, Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption software, to copyright infringement issues involving ripping and sharing through Peer-to-Peer networks and through BitTorrent.</p>
<p>It's also important to keep in mind that even a file that's been erased or wiped from a harddrive has not been permanently deleted. </p>
<p>That’s because, depending on the type of software used, either all or fragments of the incriminating material can be left on the harddrive. Some disk-drive wiping software merely changes the “Boot Sector” of the harddrive which is like a table of contents for the harddrive. It does not delete the entire drive, so the table of contents may be erased, but not the actually incriminating materials.</p>
<p>If you have material that you would not like to be found again, you can take apart the harddrive with a screwdriver, and smash the plates inside. Or take a drill, and drill through the harddrive in multiple places.</p>
<p>Do not donate the harddrive. Do not give the harddrive to Best Buy for them to wipe clean. Do not give the harddrive to friends for their use. Do not leave the harddrive in a closet. Do not throw the harddrive in the trash without thoroughly and physically smashing the harddrive.</p>
<p>Or, as Sigourney Weaver said in the movie Aliens, “Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”</p> <p>See Also:</p><ul>

Police Officers Gunned Down in Line of Duty <p> <i>Early on the morning of Tues., June 29, two Tampa police officers, David Curtis and Jeffrey Kocab, were shot and killed during a routine traffic stop. The suspected shooter, Dontae Morris, turned himself in to authorities on Friday night. </i> </p> <p> Tampa, Fla. (<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a>) July 8, 2010 -- Early on the morning of Tues., June 29, two Tampa police officers, David Curtis and Jeffrey Kocab, were shot and killed during a routine traffic stop. The suspected shooter, Dontae Morris, turned himself in to authorities on Friday night.</p>
<p>Local radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge was collecting donations for the officers’ families on air last Thursday via his not-for-profit organization, the BTLS Foundation, a 501(C)3 dedicated to raising awareness and donations for worthy community causes or victims. Upon hearing this, Dr. Gary Kompothecras, founder of the free accident and injury helpline 1-800-ASK-GARY, was immediately moved to donate $5000 to the widows of the two fallen officers. Sara Kocab, just 29, is pregnant with the couple’s first child. Kelly Curtis is left to raise four sons on her own.</p>
<p>The BTLS Foundation raised more than $30,000 that day for Curtis and Kocab families but Dr. Gary’s donation was the single largest made by any individual. Says Bubba, “we had such an outpouring of support but Dr. Gary is usually the first one there, and always there if someone needs him. We were broadcasting and right away I got a text from Gary saying he was donating $5000 to the families — it almost made me cry.”</p>

of “Soft Tissue Injuries” <p> <i>Thanks to the internet, accident victims can access information that may not be provided to them from insurance companies, attorneys, or even their well meaning health care professionals.</i> </p> <p> Danville, CA (<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a>) July 8, 2010 -- Finally, there is a place to go online that reveals why chiropractic works, how it works, and how it can benefit car accident victims.</p>
<p>This new website gives car accident victims the education and confidence they need to make their own choice as to who should care for their injuries and includes easy to read information on “Chronic Pain From Whiplash Injury”, “Neck Injuries And The Acceleration of Neck Arthritis”, “Pre-Accident Arthritis of the Neck”, “Healing Time For Injured Soft Tissues”, “Problems With Pain Medicines”, “The Benefits Of Chiropractic”, “Understanding Whiplash Injury”, and much more.</p>

</td> </tr></table> Included this month are studies that reveal the often long term effects of motor vehicle collision injuries including:<p>- 2002 study looked at the health status of whiplash-injured patients 17 years after injury. At the time, this was the longest follow-up study on whiplash-injured patients published. The authors documented that 55% of the patients still suffered from pain caused by the original trauma 17 years later. (Bunketorp, European Spine Journal, 2002)</p>
<p>- 2007 review article documents that between 15-40% of those who are injured in a motor vehicle collision will suffer from ongoing chronic pain. (Schofferman, Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 2007)</p>
<p>- 2009 review article pertaining to whiplash injury and including 100 citations, thoroughly reviewed 15 studies pertaining to whiplash-injury outcomes. The authors document that fewer than 50% of all patients made a full recovery and that 4.5% are permanently disabled. In addition, they document that whiplash-injured patients are 5 times more likely to suffer from chronic neck pain than control populations. The view that a whiplash-injured patient’s symptoms will improve once litigation has finished “is unsupported by the literature.”(Bannister, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, British, 2009) </p>

</td> </tr></table></td></tr></table></i> </p> <p> Eagle River, Alaska (<a href="http://www.prweb.com/" target="_blank">PRWEB</a>) July 8, 2010 -- When Mari Gallion, an unmarried tour guide in Alaska, discovered she was pregnant, she immediately made the decision to have the baby. What she never expected was the face the hypocrisy of the movement that condemns a woman’s right to choose while withholding information that could empower single women who have chosen to continue with unplanned or unsupported pregnancies. In response, Gallion wrote this comprehensive guide that offers unconditional assistance to all single women who have chosen the unorthodox path of motherhood without the participation of a partner. The Single Woman’s Guide to a Happy Pregnancy, 2010 Edition is not about morning sickness or blotchy skin; rather, it is about attaining personal power, confidence, and well-being.</p>
<p>According to a May 2010 report released by the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 41% of all babies born in the United States are the offspring of married women. As Gallion points out so eloquently, these women are not only facing pregnancy alone, but many are experiencing coercion and social alienation that results in unnecessary emotional and physical stress for both mother and child.</p>
<p>The Single Woman’s Guide to a Happy Pregnancy, 2010 Edition is the author’s gift to these single mothers-to-be. It is a consistently positive and sometimes humorous account that offers advice in remaining in charge, avoiding depression, and finding those community and government agencies that truly offer assistance for decided mothers-to-be as opposed to women seeking adoption, abortion, or “options counseling.” In addition, Gallion offers suggestions about keeping a healthy social life, money management, staying active, and even what items to acquire after the baby comes, making this a very useful book indeed. The 2010 Edition features an expanded chapter on seeking child support, establishing custody, and the latest health news regarding hazardous chemicals, foods, and food additives.</p>

The Single Woman’s Guide to a Happy Pregnancy, 2010 Edition is available for sale online at Amazon.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.</p> <p>See Also:</p><ul>
