"Did I kill anyone?" Lucy asked the nurse.
"No," the nurse said. "But you're in enough trouble anyway." She nodded at the federal marshals sitting outside Lucy's hospital room. "Runaway, huh?" The nurse took a look at the monitor hanging over Lucy's head. "Well, you didn't kill yourself, that's for sure. Not even a broken bone. Good thing for you that airbag went off." She closed the door and put a thermometer in the patient's mouth.
"Lucy, my god!" Larry Glass came bursting into the room, his jacket still awry from the frisking the Marshals had given him. "What in the world were you thinking? You could have been killed. You could have killed someone else. Do you know how close you came to that BUS??" He was actually purple. The nurse stepped between the furious lawyer and the girl in the hospital bed.
"It's ok," Lucy said. "He's my lawyer. It was his car I crashed. I'm so sorry, Larry. I thought we were going to the Maryland authorities. Once the feds get me, I'm done."
"Well, they have you now," Larry said sadly, straightening his clothes. "Someone on the Maryland side is obviously leaking to the feds. The federal marshalls were waiting at the states' attorney's apartment to arrest you. They already got your urine from that nurse so they know you're pregnant."
"How can they do that?!" she asked indignantly.
"It's completely legal. They have your picture going to the abortion clinic, so they suspect you of trying to kill your 'baby.' Which you were, actually," he continued in the same level tone of voice. "Taking urine from a suspected baby carrier has been legal since the Fetus law. As soon as the hospital says it's okay, you're going to Chesapeake for holding for rendition back to Virginia. Give me a hug now, because the next time I see you there will be a pane of glass between us. Chesapeake used to be a supermax, and the feds have been slowly returning to that model for their runaways. They know Baltimore is a big stop on the Rainbow Road, and they're trying to make an example when they catch someone."
"But I didn't come for an abortion!" she cried. "I didn't know I was pregnant until I started feeling so weird in the morning. I came to go to school."
He leaned in. "They are going to find your boyfriend," he said, his voice hardening. "And get him to admit to having unprotected sex. Or even that you told him you were pregnant weeks before you ran away. How long do you think some teenager is going to hold out against the VBI?"
Her boyfriend. She looked at Larry.
"I'll take that chance."
"Who's the father?" the guard asked her for the thousandth time. Or maybe it just seemed like the thousandth time, because of the lights and music in her cell. She hadn't slept in so long she had no idea how many questions or hours had passed. Drifting. Ice. Water pouring over her. "Don't put your head down," he said, lifting the bucket he'd just emptied on her head. "You're not sleeping until you tell us who fathered this baby."
"Who's the father?"
I guess we brought this on ourselves, Lucy thought, filing those papers that said I didn't know I was pregnant when I came across, so they couldn't send me back under the Fetus law. Maybe I should tell them who I managed to have sex with in that tight-knit society. Maybe Arthur won't actually kill Mom if I tell on him. No, I gotta keep it a secret. They have no other way to prove I knew I was pregnant. I'll just keep saying it must have been the ferals, that last day.
Boy, sleeping on a concrete floor makes for a rude awakening. But even the floor of the cell was actually welcome after the lights and the noise and the ice water and the who and who and who.
"You look like a drowned rat," Larry said. Lucy held the prison visitor phone away from her ear and glared at him through the glass.
"Get me out of here!" she cried. "They aren't letting me sleep, music, lights, questioning me endlessly. Who, who, who is the father?"
"I'm afraid we did that," he said ruefully, as if he'd read her mind, "If they can get someone to testify that you had sex more than a month before you left, that makes it look like you missed your period and knew. I'll file a motion with the Runaway Commissioner, but people don't get appointed to be Commissioners because they're sympathetic with the runaways. The law took away your right to jury trial for a reason: they want you renditioned back and they know the federal Commissioners will do that."
She was silent.
"Josh wants to come next visit," Larry said suddenly into the silence. "I thought we lost him when he found out you were pregnant, but he seems to be committed to getting you off. Maybe he has a rescue fantasy or something. Not a bad characteristic for a defense lawyer," he ruminated.
Oh, great, another man who wants to tell her how to live her life, Lucy thought. "Can Kelly come? or Joanna?" she asked. She was suddenly hungry for a female voice.
Larry didn't answer.
She looked at him. He looked at his watch.
"You don't want her associating with me," she said suddenly. "Do you? You think I'm slutty because I'm pregnant and only seventeen years old." She heard her voice rising and he shook his head behind the glass, gesturing to the guards all around.
"Don't be ridiculous," he said in a loud whisper. "She's very busy that's all."
"Right. Busy. Buffing her resume for Harvard. While I sit here being tortured by the federal police. And all because I got trapped in a red state."
"Be quiet for God's sake," he said. What was she doing, pushing away her own lawyer? The Glasses had been unbelievable to her. She couldn't give up hope now. It was the only thing keeping her going.
"Now let me get a picture of you looking like this so I can take it to the Commissioner and see if I can get you held somewhere else or at least get a camera in the interrogation room. The Bill of Rights may not apply to the states, but it still applies to the federal government." He reached in his pocket. "Oh, I forgot, they took my phone away when I came through security. Ok, someone from the firm is going to come see you every day. I'll have Josh file papers with the Commissioner asking to transfer you. That may rein in their interrogation methods. Anyway we have to prepare you to testify at the rendition hearing.
Back in her cell, they were shaking her awake again. She thought it had stopped when they realized she was not going to tell them who the father was. What more could they do to a woman they're pursuing under the fetal protection act? At least she was safe from the worst of it until she gave birth.
"Get dressed," the guard said. "You're going to court." He slammed the heavy door behind him. Would she ever get used to being so alone? She couldn't even exercise in the yard with the others. If the sleep deprivation didn't break her, maybe the loneliness would. She was starting to think being interrogated wasn't so bad. At least it was another human being in the room with her. She put on the awful pink prison dress and shoes and ran her fingers through her cropped blonde hair. She probably had dark roots by now. Of course they didn't put mirrors in the cells. I wonder if they make anyone but the Fetal runaways wear pink, she thought as she struggled to snap the front closed. She'd be needing a bigger prison uniform soon.
"E pluribus unum." The dingy little courtroom still had a Seal of the United States on the wall. Unum, hah, Lucy thought. Her father had told her it meant, out of many, One. Since the Agreement, the country was more like the eagle on the seal, half the states under the arrows in the eagle's talon – with no Bill of Rights, there was no protection for women or gays or lesbians. In the olive branch states, Joanna is going to Harvard. And I'm going to jail. Or maybe into labor. Or both. Some unum. Somehow seeing the people who were trying to send her back to Virginia dressed up in legal robes – of the United States no less – made it infinitely worse. At least the girl catchers and the prison guards were open about it. They were thugs. These were thugs in robes.
"Sit down!" her guard pulled her into a seat at the side of the room, a bright pink spot in the drab surroundings. The door at the back of the courtroom opened, and Larry and Kelly and Josh walked in. The door swung open again to admit a big red-faced white guy with a dimpled chin followed by a slender young black woman. They sat at the table opposite Larry's. Her lawyers exchanged glances.
"All rise."
A small, balding man with cheap plastic framed glasses took his seat at the bench.
"The Commission for the Return of Runaway Mothers is now in session, Commissioner Elving Picart presiding. God save the United States and this honorable Court. You may be seated."
The young woman stood up. "May it please the court," she said, "I move the admission for purposes of this case of Theodore Erickson of the United States Department of Justice. Mr. Erickson has been admitted . . ."
"I know who Mr. Erickson is," the Commissioner interrupted. "We are honored, Mr. Erickson," he addressed the newcomer. "You are admitted to practice before this Commission for the purposes of this case."
"Your honor," Larry said, rising from his seat. "We received no notice that there would be a substitution of counsel. "We at least need a couple of hours to prepare a response."
"What could you possibly think up to say?" Commissioner Picart asked, with a look of incredulity on his face. "That Theodore Erickson isn't experienced enough to practice before the Runaway Commission? That's funny. I notice, by the way, that you have never tried a Runaway case, Mr. Glass. Are you sure you don't want us to appoint a public defender for your client?"
Lucy looked steadily at the supposedly neutral judge who was all that stood between her and the return to rapist heaven at Arthur's as he insulted her lawyer right out of the box.
"Thank you your Honor," Glass replied levelly. "My colleagues and I are confident we represent our client and prove to the Court that Ms. Atreides did not leave Virginia for the purpose of seeking an abortion and so she cannot be sent back. You may recognize my associate Kelly Groff from the Ableman rendition case she won last year."
Lucy relaxed a little. Kelly was the best. If anyone could get her out of this.
Picart ignored the invitation to acknowledge Kelly and glanced at the file on his desk. "I don't see a request for a pregnancy physical," he said. "Isn't that fairly standard? Blood, urine, have to be sure our new mothers are properly taken care of while they're our guests," he chortled. "Well," he continued, with a puzzled look at the famous new lawyer in the courtroom, "I'll just save us all some time and order it."
Seeing Larry again rising to his feet, Picart added, with copies of everything to the defense of course.
"Your honor, we want our own experts to examine her too. We don't want copies of government reports on how my client is doing. She was kept without sleep for several days and interrogated without letup."
"A serious charge if you can prove it," Picart said to Larry. "I'm not having a bunch of outside experts running around my lockup. Your client doesn't look like she's suffering to me. Very attractive color on you," he added, looking at Lucy for the first time since he entered the courtroom. Lucy felt the edges of the room go dark. The air was too thick to breathe. She was so hot. This was a new thing, this feeling like she was going to black out. Maybe she had hurt herself in that car crash. Or maybe it's what pregnant ladies do: swoon.
When her vision cleared, Larry and that new guy from DC were standing at the bench talking to the commissioner about something. As she looked around she saw Josh staring at her. "You okay?" he mouthed silently. She nodded. What difference did it make? They couldn't help her. She certainly couldn't help herself. And she'd been feeling so full of it when she got away. Like she was a real adult, who could take care of herself. She was going to be back in solitary confinement and then she was going to be back in Richmond Virginia with a baby on the way. The VBI wouldn't torture her to tell them who the father was. They'd probably just pick a feral off the street and marry her to him. Or Arthur would say she could have the baby, stay home and take care of Mom. And then he would visit her in her room every night. Oh, Kelly was right. They should never have agreed to turn her in. She'd be in Canada by now. Or at least New York.
"All right counselor," Commissioner Picart was saying to Larry. "You can have a brief conference with your client. There's a lawyers' room over there. The guard will be right outside in case she decides to pull another stunt. You have your car keys with you this time? Guard, frisk the defendants' lawyers to be sure they don't have anything a runaway shouldn't get near. Like abortion pills, he muttered.
"Your honor," Larry protested angrily.
"OUT." The commissioner said. "You want to talk to her directly. You get frisked. You too, Ms. Groff, he said sarcastically emphasizing the Ms. Him too," Picart added, seeing Josh walk away with Larry.
A few minutes later Larry closed the door and spread his arms. "Come get a hug," he said. You're still only a young girl and this must be just awful for you. He wouldn't even hear argument on our motion for bail."
"I didn't think so," she said sadly. "After I tried to escape again."
"Yeah, where did you think you were going?" Josh asked angrily.
"Canada," she said, looking at Kelly. "Follow the drinking gourd."
That shut them up for a minute.
"I was going back to the office. At least there the Rescuers were around to protect me," she added. Like Josh and Kelly said in the first place. She tried to lower her voice. They were trying to help her. She was really angry with herself. Why did she stop running, once she got out? She could have been in Canada a thousand times by now. Or she could have stayed with the Rescuers. They would have known better than to just drive up brazenly to the Planned Parenthood clinic like she stupidly did. She kept thinking she could rescue herself. Not doing a great job on her own.
"Ok while we have a moment, we have to talk about the trial. That asshole did at least say he'd hold it within ten days. If we win, you could still get a legal abortion. But he didn't seem disposed to us, even before Erickson showed up. "
He paused and he and Kelly exchanged glances again.
"WHAT?" she said. "Who is he? Why did the judge act like that?"
"He's the most important lawyer in the Justice Department," Larry finally said. "He's argued more Supreme Court cases than anyone else in the country, and won most of them. Of course, it got a lot easier when they got that fifth seat after the Agreement. But the question is why are they sending Theodore Erickson to a simple rendition hearing. Is your stepfather that important?"
"I guess he is," she answered, wiping her hand across her eyes.
"The more interesting question," Josh interjected, finally speaking up, "is why he's giving us such a quick hearing. Usually if it goes to a hearing, rather than the girl catchers just hauling them back, they put it off until it's too late to get an abortion."
"I know," Larry said. "I had a motion for an emergency order of transfer in my briefcase, but I didn't need it because he set it so quickly. And they stopped interrogating you. I didn't need any of my motions."
"We're going to LOSE, that's why," Lucy heard herself shouting at their little lawyer conversation. "What's the difference? I'll never get an abortion in Virginia once they send me back. And apparently Arthur wants this to end as quickly as possible."
"We're going to do our best for you, Lucy," Larry said, taking her hands in his. "But we cannot defend you if you don't tell us how this pregnancy came about. We are going to have to try to get the man who got you pregnant to say it was just a few weeks before you left."
She knew it would come to this eventually.
"When I ran away," she said, trying very hard not to meet Kelly's eyes, "I was waiting in the garage where people said the Guides came to pick people up and there were these ferals . . ."

Beatriz Bustos wins "Voice for the planet" award
Beatriz Bustos, MMG employee, has been one of the winners of the Hackathon "Voice for the planet". The contest was organized by the association WWF (World Wildlife Fund). It was held this weekend at the Google for Startups in Madrid. It is also part of the VoiceXLab initiative of the technology company Sngular and the creative transformation consultancy PS21. The MMG employee won with her team thanks to her Doni project: an assistant who will help to have sustainable consumption habits. At the same time, this initiative will allow a more efficient use of food.
According to the conservation organization, global biodiversity is "decreasing at an alarming rate," with a decline of 60% in the populations of fish, amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles between 1970 and 2014, according to WWF's Living Planet report. In this sense, the NGO denounces that the current model of production and consumption has a great impact on the environment.
The competition consisted, among other things, of exploring the potential of virtual voice assistants to solve challenges related to the protection of the environment. In addition, participants have developed methodologies that can be replicated in business schools. For this reason, computer scientists, UX designers, programmers and linguists have come together to design tools that will help fight environmental threats, such as unsustainable consumption and loss of biodiversity.
The aim of the event was to explore how voice interaction technology can be used to solve some of the major challenges facing humans in nature conservation. The first called "Let's talk to nature. How can voice user interfaces help people value nature more and feel closer to it?" The second was about "We devour the Planet. How can voice user interfaces help people choose and consume food in a more sustainable and earth-friendly way?"
Six teams were presented, consisting of a maximum of five people. In this sense, Beatriz Bustos blames her group's victory on the fact that it was the only one that had a computer linguist. "We were able to develop the flow of dialogue and, therefore, it made us very different from the rest. In addition, "we took into account each of the advice given to us by the mentors and organizers," she notes.
DONI ASSISTANT
Assistant Doni, based on the personality of chef José Andrés who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian activism when he traveled to Puerto Rico to feed 100,000 people who had suffered the consequences of Hurricane Maria. In fact, the skill will put recipients (people in social exclusion) and intermediaries in contact. The system will also choose the pick-up point. Also try to create an environmental impact.
Specifically, as Beatriz Bustos points out, "in different cultures data impact in one way or another". Thanks to the Doni assistant it will be possible to "translate the data to create environmental awareness". Also, the application will help to optimize the shopping list and will tell you what you want to donate. Finally, it will provide information to make people aware of the benefits of sustainable consumption.

Alli Liver Damage Lawsuits
At this time our law firm is no longer accepting new cases involving this drug. This does not mean that you do not have a case; please seek a second opinion with local legal counsel to discuss your options.
In 2007, Alli was approved for OTC use for weight loss in overweight adults. Between 1999 and October 2008, 32 reports of serious liver injury, including 6 cases of liver failure, in patients using orlistat were submitted to the FDA. In August 2009, the FDA initiated a safety review of Alli side effects to determine if there is a direct relationship between reports of liver injury and diet drugs containing orlistat. The FDA issued an early communication on August 24, 2009, indicating that they were reviewing this new safety information, but no definite association between liver injury and Alli has been established. The FDA currently recommends that consumers continue using Alli as directed.
Alli Liver Damage and Liver Failure
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's reports included six cases of liver failure and 27 of the incidents resulted in hospitalization. The most commonly reported liver problems with Alli were a yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes known as jaundice, weakness and abdominal pain.
Alli Side Effects
Serious side effects from taking Alli for weight loss include:
Brown urine
Liver failure
Speak to an Alli Lawyer
If you took Alli for weight loss and suffered serious liver damage, or liver failure, we encourage you to contact an Alli litigation attorney at our law firm immediately. An experienced product liability attorney can assist you in a legal action against the makers of Alli, GlaxoSmithKline, PLC. You are not alone. Join other Alli liver damage victims and their families in fighting for their legal rights.
Please fill out our free legal evaluation form on the far right and we will call or e-mail you back within 24 hours. Please keep in mind that certain states have a statute of limitations that limits the amount of time you have to file an Alli lawsuit or seek legal action. Contact our law firm immediately so we may explain the rights and options available to you and your family.
The FDA has received 32 reports of serious liver damage possibly connected to the use of orlistat-based drugs like Alli.

Tomorrow morning at 9:30 am the Dunach Elementary School PAC meets. This is the time of year the credit union I work for attends 3 PAC meetings of the 3 local schools. This is the first one. We've been going to these meetings for about 5 years now and are there for only 30 minutes or so. We meet with a few of the parents and the school principal is usually there. The three schools all have an enrollment around 100 pupils with Bradner Elementary School being the highest with maybe about 125 pupils. The reason we are there is to present the committee with a cheque. It is the same amount for each school. It is the same amount each year. That amount is $3,000.
Why do we do it? Because it is needed and it means that much less stress parents have in trying to make money for the school. There are other credit unions that put a small student run facility in the school. It is supposed to each kids about banking. I think it just gets the kids to open an account at that credit union which is in the school anyway. It is pretty crafty way to get members. There is a difference between advertising and donating. They aren't the same. People put up with advertising. They accept donations.

Whisky on Canvas: Monique Tromp & Whisky Art
"Creativity takes courage."
- Henry Matisse
Art has always been the no-holds-barred playfield of mad geniuses. Towards the end of the 19th century, the world was warming up towards the madcap of avant-garde. With the coming of Dadaism, pushing boundaries in art became a norm. Breaking rules was the new rule. At the turn of the 20th century, artists went looking for that which would not be considered suitable or worthy of art. The discarded, the ugly, the unique began to be slowly incorporated into artwork. It was at this moment that mixed media art was born. Assemblages, collages, cut-outs, prints, layered painting all came under what comprised mixed media art. Pablo Picasso's 1912 Still Life With Chair Painting is considered to be the very first collage. Everyone from Marcel Duchamp to Henry Matisse has since then contributed to mixed media art. When it comes to unbounded artistic expression, mixed media artwork steals the show.
Cut to the 21st century. A little girl is born in Emerald Isles, Netherlands. She grows up to be a freewheeling artist drawing inspiration from the amber tulips fields, picturesque woody paths, towering windmills and clear blue skies of her birthland. Then one fine day, her tryst with the drink of the gods began. As she poured the amber fluid in a glass, gently swirling it around, she slowly fell in love with it. In no time, whisky became the second love of her life. And then she thought, if whisky were to meet art it'd be a match made in heaven. And lo! She started thinking of ways to use her favourite drink in her works of art. It didn't take long for her to figure out that whisky could flow on her canvas, alongside colours. She, Monique Tromp, began this extraordinary art expedition of 'whisky-painting'.
Tromp channeled the bohemian spirit of the avant-garde in her paintings. Ash and charcoal have traditionally been used by many painters. Tromp took it a notch higher on the quirk factor by using sugar, coffee and even chocolate in her paintings. And, as you might've guessed, she did not stop at that. Whisky, grass and grains feature in her paintings too. To add some madness to the method (or, art) Monique Tromp decided to ditch the canvas for whisky barrels. Tromp not only uses whisky in her paintings, but she channels every little nuance of the nectar of the gods into her art work. Unusual as it may sound, Monique has created series after series of paintings on whisky, with whisky.
Monique's paintings are mixed media works. Acrylic, metallic-lac, black ink are some of the commonplace bases she uses in her paintings. This in combination with prints, images, corks add unique texture to artworks. Till date, she has paid tribute to Islay, single malts and Japanese whisky. Each series is defined by the use of whiskies specific to the region she choose to ode. That apart, Monique has also taken inspiration from popular culture. Her repertoire of whisky painting includes portraits, abstract art and cityscapes as well.
If art is about unleashing sparks of creative fervor, Monique Tromp's brush strokes capture the essence of imagination and inspiration. Art's tryst with whisky couldn't have a better expression than in the ingenious Monique.
Difference Between Irish Whiskey and Scotch - Irish Whisky vs Scotch
While most novice whisky drinkers may fail to see, understand or even care about the distinction, Scotch and Irish whiskey are a lot more different than believed to be. The mention of either could result in a fistfight, or a heated argument at the very least so if you really must know the factors that set Scotch and Irish whiskey apart from each other, you have come to the right place.
AN ADVENTURE WITH THE EMBARCADERO COCKTAIL
Embarcadero, the Spanish for wharf also refers to the breathtaking landscapes in San Francisco, California. San Francisco's windy terrain, the majestic sunshine bay burrowed against azure waters, pristine islands, and sailboats makes it picture perfect. Embarcadero happens to be one of the most scenic and liveliest areas in San Francisco along the water front, overlooking the Bay. The area and the city also have been at the helm of the cocktail and culinary evolution. Good food and interesting drinks have always been an exciting part of the fun experience in the city.
Variant Comparison Between JW Double Black Vs JW Black Label
They are two of the most successful expressions from the Johnnie Walker stable, and as much as the similarities they share, they have their fair share of contrasts too. and take the centre stage today as we entertain a debate. Is the Double Black expression better than Black Label? Let's find out.

Edwardian afternoon teas launched at Beamish
Fancy taking tea like an Edwardian?
Friday, 17th March 2017, 2:56 pm
Updated Friday, 24th March 2017, 10:11 am
Beamish Museum is giving visitors the chance to tuck into the English tradition as their ancestors would have with an Edwardian afternoon tea.
Starting from Mother's Day, March 26, visitors to the museum's The 1900s Town can dine like turn of the century ladies.
Afternoon Tea at Beamish will include freshly-made sandwiches, homemade scones with clotted cream and seasonal jam, a selection of individual sweet treats from the museum's Herron's Bakery and, of course, tea or coffee.
It is served in a room adjacent to the museum's Tea Rooms in The 1900s Town, furnished in the style of an early ice cream parlour with wooden booths and mirrored fixtures.
The menu will change with the seasons and gluten and dairy free options are available. Children's portions of afternoon tea can also be served.
Denise Hodge, Beamish's Head of Food, said: "We're delighted to be able to offer afternoon tea at Beamish. It's fantastic that we can give visitors the chance to indulge in a delicious experience in the beautiful setting of our Edwardian Town.
Afternoon tea at Beamish has been developed by Sarah Gallagher, a Catering Assistant at the museum.
Sarah is part of the People Development Programme, funded through Arts Council England's Major Partner Museums. The programme gives staff the chance to implement their ideas to improve visitors' experiences, as well as boosting their own skills.
Sarah spent many months researching, costing, developing and testing the Afternoon Tea offer and is excited that all of her hard work has come to fruition.
She said: "I can't believe it's come together and the hard work has paid off. All of the staff in the Tea Rooms are looking forward to the start of something new when we serve the first afternoon teas on Mother's Day."
•Afternoon Tea is available every day from 26th March 2017 (excluding school holidays and special events) and must be booked in advance. The cost is £11.95 per person (£8.95 child) for Unlimited Pass holders or £21.95 (£14.95 child) for non-Pass holders which includes day admission. Payment is required at the time of booking.


Ms. Steele was very helpful and made the process run really smooth during a very stressful time. She took the time to answer all of our questions and to check on and fix all the minor details - she even arranged all the contracts for a car that we were keeping. I felt confident that she would take care of everything for us and she did. She wasn't judgmental about our situation and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to solve your problems too. She solved ours.
We would like to give her 5 stars!
Once in a while circumstances bring you into contact with very special people. Lindsay Steele is one of those people. She made the traumatic experience of bankruptcy so much easier to deal with. She went above and beyond what was probably required of her - answering all my questions with incredible patience and guiding me through the process - step by step. Most importantly, she listened to "my story" and helped us chart a path out of the financial wilderness. My kids and I are so blessed to have had her on our side. In essence, Lindsay has helped give us a second chance - and isn't that what it's all about? Please give her our thanks. May God bless you and your awesome firm!
I loved working with Lindsay she is great. When I first went to her firm I was scared and nervous, however she made me feel comfortable and gave me a piece of mind. She answered all my questions. The entire process was smooth. Her fees are competent especially for the kind of work she performs. I highly recommend her.
Ms. Steele was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to really explain everything in great detail to me and she made sure I understood everything completely. She was very knowledgeable and was able to answer every question I could think of. Ms. Steele was able to ease my fears and worries. I am very happy and would definitely recommend Steele Law Firm to anyone.
Lindsay is an awesome lawyer and does good work. She even helps you after your case is over and answers any questions you have.
Lindsay Steele is absolutely the best bankruptcy attorney ever, she was very pleasant to work with and professional. She made me feel comfortable about this experience every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone who has found themselves in an unfortunate situation. She's the attorney you want!! Thanks Lindsay.
We absolutely loved working with Lindsay! She didn't leave any questions unanswered she presented us with several options and was upfront with all the answers! We felt confident in her ability to represent us! She took a personal interest which made us feel even more comfortable! Bankruptcy is a scary thing to consider but when we first meet with Lindsay she eased all our concerns! I highly recommend her!
Very helpful and down to earth. She made me comfortable during a very difficult time.
The start of 2013 I found myself drowning in credit card debt, divorced, moving, new job, and no savings at 54, how did this happen to me. A family member suggested that I see an attorney to look into my options; I don't have money for an attorney I said to myself I have no options. I began to search the internet for an attorney in the Fort Worth area, and that is when I found Lindsay D. Steele, owner of the Steele Law Firm. Lindsay was articulate and caring in her video and I knew I needed her help, so I called and made an appointment. The morning of my appointment I was scared, stressed, overwhelmed and embarrassed, and then I meant Lindsay and she made me feel welcomed. Lindsay is professional, caring, and an expert in her field and I do not know where I would be today if she did not represent me. My budget is still extremely tight and Lindsay has worked with me on making payments and has never made me feel pressured to pay off my balance. Life gets difficult sometimes and for me I am so grateful she came into my life, thank you is not enough.

My experience with Steele Law Firm has been very positive. I went to The Steele law firm scared and not knowing what I could do. Mrs. Steele quickly put me at ease about the steps we could take. The more I listened the better I started feeling about my situation. I found Mrs. Steele to be very personable and professional at the same time and I sure did like that! I left her office feeling like the weight on my shoulders was gone and that everything is going to be fine, and it has. I would recommend Mrs. Steele any time because her specialty is bankruptcy and she excellent at it.


LB turns 7 months old tomorrow. I turn 27. What a huge age difference the two of us have, but we share many of the same hobbies. Naps, for starters. Listening to the Beatles and Beach House when we're cranky. Going on long walks throughout the neighborhood and morning yoga stretches.
How will we spend our birthdays? For starters, morning glass at Gymboree. I'm sure we'll grab a coffee and a milk after, and sit by the fountain at Merrick Park to reflect on our day, on getting older.
BB is at school (with only a little reluctance today) and LB is an hour into his morning nap. For a child who spent the first five months of his life refusing to nap, he finally has the leisure down. What about the nanny? After picking up scattered toys and putting them away, changing baby sheets and doing laundry, loading and unloading the dishwasher, I am relaxing before the chaos. I straightened my hair (since working ten hour days kind of limits the amount of time you have to groom yourself) and finished a documentary about the lost city of Atlantis.
That's it, that's what's going on the eve of my 27th birthday. See you tomorrow, 27 club!

It's easy to delete rows from a table view, but there is one catch: you need to remove it from the data source first. If you don't do this, iOS will realize there's a mis-match between what the data source thinks should be showing and what the table view is actually showing, and you'll get a crash.
So, to remove a cell from a table view you first remove it from your data source, then you call deleteRows(at:) on your table view, providing it with an array of index paths that should be zapped. You can create index paths yourself, you just need a section and row number.


Stationary engine for welder. What is it?
I have a Farmall engine powering an old welder. I pulled it out of a barn and am getting it going I hope. The serial number is UAA6767G but I am having some problems narrowing down what it is so I can get some parts. I think it is an "A" engine as the filter number is 85172 but that filter fits many engines. Any help would be appreciated.


SoftNAS Cloud NAS customers need to install a security fix to patch a vulnerability a security firm discovered in versions 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 of the software-defined storage product.
Digital Defense, a San Antonio-based security firm, notified SoftNAS in January that an attacker could gain access to the web administration interface without valid user credentials and add users or execute arbitrary commands. SoftNAS issued a security fix with its 4.2.2 product update on March 12.
Jeff Russo, senior vice president of products at SoftNAS, based in Houston, said the company wouldn't label the security update as critical. He said customers are only vulnerable if they exposed SoftNAS StorageCenter ports directly to the internet by not following best practices.
But Marc Staimer, president of Dragon Slayer Consulting in Beaverton, Ore., urged customers to install the update as soon as possible, because bad actors could try to exploit the vulnerability after Digital Defense and SoftNAS disclosed it this week.
"Every time a patch comes out, they know that people tend to not implement the patches quickly," Staimer said. "That means a lot of implementations are vulnerable, and they're going to go after it."
Security companies have flagged SoftNAS twice for vulnerabilities in less than a year. Last July, Core Security -- now part of HelpSystems, based in Eden Prairie, Minn. -- identified a command-injection vulnerability in SoftNAS Cloud versions prior to 4.0.3. Core Security said the vulnerability in the web administration console could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root permissions.
Russo said, although the two vulnerabilities affected the web administration console, they were different in nature. He said the latest vulnerability relates to an open source NGINX web server and load balancer component that SoftNAS recently added. Interestingly, he said, one reason SoftNAS added the NGINX component was to improve security.
"It was essentially a bug with the way it was integrated," Russo said. "It's not something that would have been easily detected by most people. It just happens that Digital Defense has a great deal of knowledge about the NGINX component and was able to identify this issue."
Digital Defense said the SoftNAS Cloud NGINX default configuration file has a check to verify the status of a user cookie. If the check isn't set, the user gets redirected to the login page. An arbitrary value could be provided for the cookie to access the web interface without valid user credentials, according to Digital Defense.
"We feel it's fairly serious, because there aren't a lot of mitigating factors," said Mike Cotton, vice president of research and development at Digital Defense. "If you can send a ping packet at the device or access the administration interface over the network, you can exploit it."
Cotton said the SoftNAS Cloud session management code wasn't verifying the existence of a valid session, but merely checking, via the cookie, that any session key existed. That provided a way to get remote administrator access without credentials.
Customers must log into their AWS or Microsoft Azure platform account to launch a new instance of SoftNAS Cloud. Best practices call for accessing SoftNAS through a virtual private network connection to the virtual network where the SoftNAS Cloud instance lives, said John Yeazell, director of quality assurance at SoftNAS.
Once connected, Yeazell said, a customer would point a browser to the SoftNAS instance, or virtual machine, via an HTTPS session to manage it. Users access, configure and manage the virtual appliance through the SoftNAS user interface, StorageCenter or the command-line interface -- not via AWS or Azure.
"If end users choose to make the appliance accessible via a public port, they should follow the platform's best practices to lock down" the IP connection, Yeazell said.
Russo said SoftNAS worked with Digital Defense on the security fix and hasn't had any customers report exploits or breaches related to the vulnerabilities Core Security and Digital Defense discovered. SoftNAS patched the July vulnerability in its 4.0.3 product release. The 4.2.2 update that SoftNAS released on March 12 fixes the 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 product versions that have been out since Nov. 15.
Digital Defense notified SoftNAS about the vulnerability in January, in keeping with its responsible disclosure possibility, and it published its findings once the patch became available. Digital Defense has exposed other vendors' vulnerabilities in the past, including one for Dell EMC last year.
Digital Defense's business model is to perform vulnerability assessment and penetration tests, typically for customers in regulated industries, such as financial services. Cotton said the company's research team generally takes a hard look at backup and NAS devices and flagged SoftNAS as a device they were seeing and wanted to check.
Cotton estimated no more than 100 of Digital Defense's roughly 4,000 customers use SoftNAS Cloud, and he isn't aware of any clients that suffered an adverse effect related to the vulnerability.
The SoftNAS Cloud 4.2.2 update requires a reboot, so customers must plan for disruption, Yeazell said. Customers with a high-availability configuration could maintain uptime, he said, but best IT infrastructure practices recommend users plot out a maintenance window.
SoftNAS claims about 300 known customers and 7,000 deployments. But it has no count or contact information for the users that acquire the software through the AWS and Azure marketplaces, according to Yolande Yip, the company's director of marketing.
Yip said the only mechanism to notify or alert those customers about security vulnerabilities or product updates is AWS-generated email sent to current subscribers on behalf of SoftNAS. Those communications go through the AWS approval process, and SoftNAS isn't privy to identifying information or the number of email messages, she said.
SoftNAS customers also have the option to manually check for updates by opening "settings" through the user interface and clicking "software updates." The wizard shows the version the customer is running and the latest available version.
Staimer said every software company has a responsibility to know who uses their products, so it can inform them about security vulnerabilities and other issues requiring their attention. He said more cloud-based storage and compute providers are adding multifactor authentication -- such as text messages to mobile phones and biometrics -- to prevent unauthorized access.
"Every product has vulnerabilities. It's how the company deals with them that matters," Staimer said.
Yeazell said SoftNAS offers a dual authentication option, where the user would first authenticate with SoftNAS and then authenticate using Google or Facebook credentials. He said stricter multifactor authentication options are on the product roadmap.

Rochester landlords must learn about safety
Elizabeth Baier October 14, 2011, 3:04 PM Oct 14, 2011
Rochester landlords have until Oct. 31 to comply with a new city law that requires them to attend a public safety and crime training seminar.
Earlier this year, the Rochester City Council passed a controversial ordinance that requires rental property owners to take a day-long class to specialize in tenant/landlord issues, including leases, evictions, building and safety, gangs and street crime.
The next safety seminar will be held tomorrow. Landowners also have the option to complete a take-home DVD seminar and test.
If they fail to attend the class or take the test, rental property owners will lose their rental certificate and will not be able to rent their properties until they comply with the requirement, according to Darrel Hildebrandt, a crime prevention specialist with the Rochester Police Department.
Hildebrandt said many of the city's roughly 1,000 landowners have expressed apprehension and doubt before complying with the requirement, but walk away from the training with useful information.
"I think it's an eye-opener for a lot of people," he said. "A lot of people are still stuck in the 60s and 70s-style of renting and we're getting a lot of problem tenants coming in from out of state and out of city."
Hildebrandt said the police department wants to encourage landowners to do the criminal background checks on prospective tenants, including national checks.
"We have a lot of [tenants] coming in from Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and they're bringing in all of their baggage with them," Hildebrandt said.
To register for the class, call Hildebrandt at 507-328-6890 or email him at dhildebrandt@rochestermn.gov. DVDs are also available to check for a two-week period from the Rochester Building Safety office.

India World Cup 2011 Squad: Akram surprised at Rohit WC snub
Tags: ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, India, Pakistan, Wasim Akram, Rohit Gurunath Sharma, Team Squad
India World Cup 2011 Squad: Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram on Tuesday backed the inclusion of leg-spinner Piyush Chawla in the 15-member Indian squad for the upcoming World Cup but said he was surprised at Rohit Sharma's omission.
New Delhi: Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram on Tuesday backed the inclusion of leg-spinner Piyush Chawla in the 15-member Indian squad for the upcoming World Cup but said he was surprised at Rohit Sharma's omission.
"The pure cricketing reason for Chawla's selection is that he is a leg-spinner and in the sub-continental conditions, he has the variety in his repertoire including a googly, which could come handy on turning tracks," Akram told a sports website.
Chawla, who last played an ODI match in 2008, was on Monday picked in the national squad ahead of Pragyan Ojha - a more regular feature in the Indian team.
The 22-year-old probably got the nod for his impressive show with both ball and bat during the just concluded Ranji Trophy and Akram feels his inclusion is fair enough.
"Ojha has been in good form of late in Test cricket. However, apart from being a spinner with a lot of variety, Chawla is a handy bat, and a young and energetic fielder.
"These small, yet critical selection calls are taken after discussions with the captain, the coach and the selectors. I am sure they have made the decision on Chawla keeping everyone in the loop," he added.
Sharma, on the other hand, has failed to do justice to his talent with an average of a mere 28.34 in 58 ODIs with just five fifties and two hundreds in his career and Akram feels he paid the price for being inconsistent.
"The most astonishing thing for me is that Rohit has not been picked. He is such a talented batsman. But again, if you do not score runs at the top level on a regular basis, you are bound to get the axe," the 44-year-old insisted.

Festningen Geotope Protected Area () is located at the outermost edge of Grønfjorden's mouth to Isfjorden on Nordenskiöld Land, Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. The profile is a cliff which runs along the coast from Kapp Starostin to Festningsodden. It covers an areas of , of which  is on land and  in the sea. Barentsburg is the closest settlement, located  away, across Grønfjorden. Festningen was protect on 26 September 2003, as part of a major expansion of the protected areas in Svalbard. The protected areas is administrated by the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management and the Governor of Svalbard. Festningen ("The Fortress") is a traditional name given by Norwegian hunters to the area because it looked like a natural fortress.

The geotope profile consists of geological succession deposits from several hundred millions of years. It has nearly vertical layers with continual exposure from the Permian period to the Cenozoic era. The stratigraphical features were recorded during the 1910s and 1920s, and are used within geological sciences as a strategic reference profile. Fossilized footprints of an Iguanodon dinosaur,  in diameter, dating from 100 million years ago, have been found at Festningen. They were  long and  tall. Located on a cliff, they were highly exposed to erosion; after they were found and copied, the slab fell into the sea.

Der Freiburger Rundbrief ist eine 1948 gegründete Zeitschrift mit Sitz in Freiburg im Breisgau.

Der Freiburger Rundbrief wurde von Gertrud Luckner und einem kleinen Kreis engagierter Katholiken in Freiburg im Breisgau gegründet. Zu dem Kreis gehörten u. a. Karl Siegfried Bader, Bernhard Welte, Rupert Gießler und der Freiburger Domkapitular Alois Eckert. Ursprünglich hatte der Kreis ein Hirtenwort der deutschen Bischöfe gegen den neu aufkeimenden Antisemitismus entworfen, diese Idee aber wieder verworfen. Stattdessen einigte man sich, eine zunächst in unregelmäßigen Abständen, später jährlich erscheinende Korrespondenz zur Förderung der Freundschaft zwischen dem alten und neuen Gottesvolk – im Geist der beiden Testamente herauszugeben, den Freiburger Rundbrief. Die Erstausgabe erschien zum Katholikentag 1948 im Mainz.

In theologischen Fragen hat besonders Karl Thieme den Freiburger Rundbrief geprägt. Nach seinem Tod 1963 beriet u. a. der Dominikaner Willehad Paul Eckert die Zeitschrift, die Luckner als Schriftleiterin bis 1986 redigierte.

1986 wurde zunächst das Erscheinen eingestellt. Von 1993 bis 2016 erschien die Zeitschrift vierteljährlich als Freiburger Rundbrief mit dem Untertitel: Neue Folge. Zeitschrift für christlich-jüdische Begegnung. 2017 änderte der Verein Freiburger Rundbrief den Titel der Nachfolgezeitschrift in Zeitschrift für christlich-jüdische Begegnung im Kontext (ZfBeg). Die Zeitschrift gehört zu den häufig zitierten Zeitschriften im Bereich Theologie.

Schwerpunktthemen sind der Umgang der christlichen Kirchen mit dem Judentum, verbunden mit einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Antisemitismus.

TRIZ is an acronym for Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. TRIZ is the genesis and inspiration for innovation. In the late 1940's, Dr. Genrick Altshuller began the development of the TRIZ methodology from empirical data – not from theory. As a result of analyses of thousands of patents, he and his team catalogued the methods by which inventors solved problems. From this research, he developed the foundation of classical TRIZ, with the key concepts of Ideality, Evolution of Systems, Contradiction and Levels of Innovation. He also defined the 40 Principles for Inventive Problem Solving and the 39 Characteristics of Technical Systems. Later, Algorithm and 76 Standards were tools added to improve the problem-solving process. TRIZ provides a systematic approach to generating solution concepts, speeds up creative thinking, and significantly expands the range of problem solving options. TRIZ is increasingly popular among engineers and managers. TRIZ complements quality methods such as Six Sigma, QFD, Taguchi, etc.
If you need a systematic approach for generating ideas for problem solving and process improvement, you should attend this seminar.
Develop confidence in using TRIZ and establish a foundation for further study.

Nuclear Reactors, Earthquakes, and the Persian Empire
Have you considered this?
"In the present state of scientific knowledge, it is still impossible to forecast earthquakes. Nevertheless, we know which parts of the globe are most likely to be struck. And in the center of perhaps the most active of these zones is the Iranian Plateau - where at least one nuclear reactors is now under construction, with more planned.
Over the past century or so, Iran has experienced more earthquakes than any other part of the globe - at least one tremor each day. Last week's earthquake in the south-central province of Lorestan is the latest reminder of that fact. [emphasis mine]
Since Iran started properly recording earthquakes in the late 1940s, it has suffered at least one "big one" every decade: Torud (1950s), Boein-Zahra (1960s), Tabas-Golshan (1970s), Qazvin (1980s), Rudbar-Tarom (1990s) and Bam (December 2003). By official estimates, these earthquakes claimed the lives of 126,000 people, injured a further 800,000 and made 1.8 million people homeless. At times, the damage from one quake amounted to more than 7 percent of the nation's GDP.
It is thus surprising that the safety aspect of Iran's nuclear program has received little attention."
So says Amir Taheri.
He has many other troubling facts about Iran and nuclear reactors, even those of the peaceful variety.
Ironic, isn't it, that Iran will eventually become another Chernobyl? That's one appointment with destiny they can't evade. And the rest of the world is simply along for the ride.
Hat tip: Sixth Column
unaha-closp said...
One of the other places where there are lots of earthquakes is Japan, where there are also lots of nuclear reactors.
Well, that's a comforting thought!
Still, why do I intuitively trust that the Japanese have probably taken that into account? Is it because they don't seem to have a death wish?
Thanatos rules Iran.
Dan M said...
You don't have to worry about the Japanese, they are technical, and have likewise taken cognizance of the need to earthquake proof their skycrapers.
What we really need to do with the Japanese is to entice them into taking part in combat operations in the war against jihadism. We need to do everything we can to break them out of that unwise Constitutional straitjacket.

A Partnership to Tackle Cancer Health Disparities
News Oct 25, 2018 | Original story from University of Houston
Diana Chow, UH College of Pharmacy Pharmaceutics professor and director of its Institute for Drug Education and Research, is leading the UH side of a partnership with Baylor to develop a joint cancer drug discovery and research education program aimed at cancer disparities. Credit: University of Houston
Although cancer affects all populations in the United States, certain ethnic populations bear a disproportionate burden of cancer compared with other groups, according to the National Cancer Institute. The federal agency has backed up its statistics with a $2.17 million grant to develop a joint cancer drug discovery/development and research education program to focus on cancers that have increased risk of incidence and/or mortality among underserved communities, namely African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans.
The program is a partnership between University of Houston College of Pharmacy and the Dan L. Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center (DLDCCC) at Baylor College of Medicine. Diana Chow, UH College of Pharmacy Pharmaceutics professor and director of its Institute for Drug Education and Research, will lead the effort at UH. Martin M. Matzuk, Baylor College of Medicine pathology professor and director of the DLDCCC, will head the alliance there.
"Liver cancer has a higher incidence rate among African Americans and Hispanics than among Caucasians. Certain types of breast and prostate cancers have higher incidence and mortality in the African-American population," said Chow. The research will seek to find new drugs to treat these cancers using preclinical models derived from these patients.
"We will use expertise in cancer drug discovery platforms at DLDCCC, and the experience and track record in cancer drug development at UH College of Pharmacy to improve outcomes in underserved communities across the nation, said Chow.
Not only do disparities exist in cancer outcomes, there is also lack of diversity in the cancer research workforce. Changing that will increase society's understanding of the causes and risk factors for cancer in different populations, work that could eventually be tested in clinical trials, said associate professor of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacy Meghana V. Trivedi, who is spearheading the cancer research education component of the program and will also participate in a pilot project for cancer drug discovery/development research.
"Much of the basic science and clinical trials data are available from primarily Caucasian populations, and so we understand less about cancers in minority populations," Trivedi said. The project could lead to a more representative generation of cancer researchers, bringing fresh insights and encouraging greater involvement of underserved communities.
Besides recruiting next-generation cancer researchers, the education program will also enhance current researchers' awareness and knowledge of cancer health disparities. The University of Houston, a Hispanic and Asian - serving institution, is a perfect place to start.
"One of our objectives is to educate students about different modalities of cancer research; you don't have to be a biology major to be a cancer researcher," said Trivedi. "We'll be reaching out to students with different majors, encouraging them to explore careers in cancer research and join the effort to find a cure for cancer in underserved ethnic groups."

Q: java quartz cron expression with hh:mm start/end time and every X minutes I'm trying to create a cron expression that will trigger a job according to the time I get, and every X minutes. both start/end time and the minutes intervals are parametrs I get from the user. for example:
start time: 09:15
end time: 19:35
minutes interval: 15
I want the job to start at 09:15 and to be triggred every 15 minutes, so the last job will actually be at 19:30 (because it can't be after 19:35).
my problem is that I dont know how to include the minutes of the start/end time..
How is it possible to create this kind of expression?
Thank's In advance.

A: I don't think that it is possible to meet your requirements in a single cron expression, as each time component (hours/minutes/seconds etc) is handled independently.
Perhaps the simplest approach would be to have a trigger for running every 15 minutes, and enable/disable this trigger at 09:15 and 19:35 (e.g. using additional triggers).
Alternatively you could have a trigger fire every 15 minutes, and procedural logic attached to this trigger which checks if the current time is between 09:15 and 19:35 before doing any work.

A: You don't need CRON, simple trigger will do. Check out Lesson 5: SimpleTrigger. This should work for your situation:
trigger = newTrigger()
    .startAt(nineFifteen)
    .endAt(nineteenThirtyFive)
    .withSchedule(simpleSchedule().withIntervalInMinutes(15))
    .forJob(someJob)
    .build();

Cult Pop Singer-Songwriter Emitt Rhodes Dies at 70

Emitt Rhodes, a beloved 1970s singer-songwriter whose pop creations earned him a cult following after a string of sunshiny solo albums, died at age 70 on Sunday (July 19). Rhodes' fiancee and social media manager, Valerie Eaton, confirmed the news to Billboard. She said no cause of death was available at press time, but it appears Rhodes died in his sleep.
Emitt Rhodes
Born on Feb. 25, 1950, in Decatur, Ill., Rhodes got his start in music as the teenage drummer for Los Angeles' The Emeralds (sometimes referred to as The Emerals). That project morphed into another mid-1960s psychedelic band, The Palace Guard, who landed a standing gig as the house band at the Hollywood nightclub The Hullabaloo. It was during that residency that Rhodes occasionally got a chance to step up to the mic according to an official biography.
5 Uplifting Moments in Latin Music This Week (January 28)
Enamored with the Beatles, Rhodes left the group in 1966 and formed The Merry-Go-Round, initially with some high-school friends, moving to guitar and landing a recording contract with A&M Records, which released the hometown hit "Live." Rhodes' ringing, McCartney-esque vocals on the single displayed the huge influence the British Invasion had on his songwriting — he is credited with penning 10 out of the 12 songs on the group's self-titled A&M debut — which also evinced inspiration from the Byrds and The Who, among others.
Another single, "You're a Very Lovely Woman," also hit in L.A., but by 1969 the group split after several lineup changes and Rhodes went solo. He recorded, played, produced and engineered songs in a shed behind his parent's home, using then innovative, densely layered recording techniques for what would become his beloved eponymous solo debut, released in 1970 on ABC/Dunhill Records. In a 1996 article, Billboard called it one of the "best albums of the decade" after the collection hit No. 29 on the albums charts, with the single "Fresh as a Daisy" charting for nine weeks.
He cut two more albums for the label, 1971's Mirror and 1973′ Farewell to Paradise, before going silent for 43 years until 2016's Rainbow Ends. The album featured a number of his modern pure pop acolytes, including Aimee Man, Jon Brion, Jellyfish's Roger Joseph Manning and Jason Falkner, Wilco's Nels Cline and the Bangles' Susanna Hoffs.

MMA Moves Resulting in Disqualification
We all know, MMA is one of the most intense forms of professional fighting there is. It combines various types of fighters, allowing fighters to combine moves with the objective to defeat their opponent with a KO or by having the best and cleanest strikes.
Over the years, we've seen a number of unique moves, some that were very effective, some that ended terribly and those that were simply over the line and could've ended really badly. With these moves, the rules of the fight changes and introduces new regulations that keeps the action of the fights alive but limits the moves that cut the action short and simply hurt the fighters in ways that could end their careers.
Below, we look at some of the moves in history that have been so bad that the MMA rules have changed to ensure professionals don't enter fights that could end their career. Of course, there are still many moves that could cause serious damage and break bones, which is simply part of the fight. However, none of us would want to see our favorite fighters never return to the rink due to brain damage or some other long-last injury as the result of careless fighting.
Poking Eyes
Poking someone eye sounds horrible all on its own and it's really easy to do serious damage to a fighter. Many have done it in the past to gain an advantage over the other fighter, which certainly works, but since it's something that could end a fighter's career instantly, it's now not allowed.
The rules state that no fighter is allowed to extend their fingers out towards another fighter, even if they aren't in direct contact, which avoids eye poking accidents all together. A fighter will receive a warning if it's a clear accident, but in most cases, the ref will end the fight and disqualify the fighter instant.
Head Butting
Head butting is one of the most dangerous moves in any form of fighting and could result in serious damage, not only for the receiver, but the fighter delivering the blow as well. Head butting has occurred multiple times in MMA, usually ending the fight in a bloody mess with one or both fighters looking as if they've just come out of an accident.
It splits the skin and just about always ends with stitches, taking out the fighter for a few fights at least. Of course, the results would be much worse as well, ending in a trip to the hospital for a concussion.
Strikes to the Groin
In self-defense, they always teach women to attack the groin as it's the best way to completely disable an attacker. The point of MMA isn't to get the other fighter to give up due to an injury like that, but rather to perform the combinations and showing that you're better than the opponent.
Kicking or even punching the groin has serious results and would have the fighter out of the season due to hospitalization.
