Business attorneys can gain the information, tools and tips they need to successfully handle the formation of business entities at the upcoming TennBarU Transactional Practice CLE program, Oct. 22 in Nashville. The six-hour seminar -- sponsored by the TBA's Young Lawyers Division -- will offer an overview of different business entities, with an emphasis on what entities are best for various clients and business plans. The course also will feature a tax attorney discussing the implications associated with various business entities, a presentation on mergers and acquisitions -- including the ethical considerations that arise in M&A work -- and a panel discussion about the conflicts of interests business attorneys may face.

Court: TCA

Billy Joe Mauldin, Paris, Tennessee, pro se.

W. Brown Hawley, II, Paris, Tennessee, for the Appellee, Robert W. Hawley.

This appeal arises from a judgment entered by the trial court in favor of plaintiff. In his complaint, plaintiff asked the trial court to remove a cloud from the title to his property and to enjoin defendant from making certain fraudulent claims in the future. Defendant asserts that the trial court did not have subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute. On review, we find that the chancery court has the authority to grant the equitable relief requested by plaintiff. The court therefore had subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute. The judgment is affirmed.

Court: TCA

Jeffrey S. Rosenblum and Marc E. Reisman, Memphis, Tennessee for the Appellant, Scott Peatross.

Debra L. Fessenden, Memphis, Tennessee for the Appellee, Shelby County Tennessee.

Gail O. Mathes, Memphis, Tennessee for the Appellee, City of Memphis.

James F. Kyle and Jessica M. Hackett, Memphis, Tennessee, for the Appellee, Shelby County Healthcare Corporation d/b/a Regional Medical Center at Memphis ("the Med").

Christopher V. Vescovo, Edd L. Peyton, Memphis, Tennessee, for the Appellee, Amos Raymond, M.D.

This appeal results from the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants. The issue before the trial court was the scope of a release agreement signed by the decedent's children and one of the defendants ("the Med"). The remaining defendants argued that this agreement provided for the release of claims against all potential defendants. Plaintiff responded that the parties to the agreement had no intention of releasing additional parties. Examining the language of the release and the circumstances surrounding its execution, we agree with the trial court's finding that plaintiff's claims against defendants were released. We also agree with the trial court's finding that the agreement released any civil rights claims that plaintiff might assert against the Med. The judgment of the trial court is therefore affirmed.

Court: TCCA

Blake E. Sempkowski, Morristown, Tennessee, for the appellant, Nathan Brad Cornwell.

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Clarence E. Lutz, Assistant Attorney General; C. Berkeley Bell, Jr., District Attorney General; and Kevin Keeton, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge: OGLE

A Hamblen County Criminal Court jury convicted the appellant, Nathan Brad Cornwell, of driving under the influence, third offense, a class A misdemeanor. He was sentenced to eleven months and twenty-nine days and fined one thousand, one hundred and ten dollars. The court also ordered that his driving license be suspended for three years. On appeal, he challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Court: TCCA

Emeterio R. Hernando, Lewisburg, Tennessee, for the Appellant, Terry Phelps.

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Michael E. Moore, Solicitor General; Rachel West Harmon, Assistant Attorney General; Chuck Crawford, District Attorney General; Michael D. Randles, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

A Bedford County grand jury indicted the Defendant, Terry Phelps, on charges of violating the sex offender registry statute due to failure to register a change of residence. He pled guilty, agreeing to allow the trial court to determine his sentence. Before the sentencing hearing, the Defendant filed a motion to withdraw his guilty plea, which the trial court denied. The trial court sentenced him to three years in the Tennessee Department of Correction ("TDOC") as a Range II offender. The Defendant now appeals, contending: (1) the trial court erred when it denied his motion to withdraw his guilty plea; and (2) the trial court erred in setting the length and range of his sentence. After a thorough review of the record and the applicable law, we affirm the trial court's judgment.

Apple on Friday added six new Samsung devices to its lawsuit in California, just a few days after the Korean company added the iPhone 5 to its own list of infringing devices. It’s quite obvious neither company is willing to back down from its claims, and in fact both continue to dig deeper in their fight to protect their precious creations — with great power comes great… litigation battles?

According to FOSS Patents, Apple has brought new claims against the Galaxy S III (with Jelly Bean), Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Tab 8.9 Wi-Fi, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Rugby Pro and Galaxy S III mini. Apple only just filed the request on Friday, so we’ll see if the court approves the addition of the new devices. And so goes the deteriorating relationship between the two companies. My guess is we’ll be hearing about this one for a long, long, long time to come.

Behind the Scenes: ALICE by Temperley SS14

Ahead of our ALICE by Temperley Spring Summer 14 collection reveal we are sharing a selection of images from behind the scenes. Shot by Alice’s sister Matilda and styled by long time friend of the brand Mary Fellowes in Leica’s studio behind our Bruton Street Flagship, Mayfair. The model for the day was Mia Groth from Union Models whose icy blonde hair was backcombed and tousled by Sheridan Ward. Moni Storrs worked on understated make up with a smoky eye to achieve an edgy, effortless look. The stark juxtaposition of the ethereal and floaty fabrics with tougher styling is evident throughout the collection and is hinted at in these images.

U. of Alabama censors pro-life students for ‘offensive’ poster

February 13, 2014

by Robby Soave

Administrators at the University of Alabama secretly removed an anti-abortion display because some students found it offensive — a clear violation of pro-life students’ First Amendment rights, according to a free speech group.

Student Claire Chretien, president of Bama Students for Life, reserved space in the Ferguson Student Center to display a pro-life poster featuring pictures of aborted fetuses and a caption insisting that abortion is a human rights violation.

But last week, she noticed that the poster was missing from the display case, according to Campus Reform.

A visit to University Events Coordinator Donna Lake resolved the mystery: Administrators removed the poster due to complaints from students.

Chretien’s conversation with Lake was captured on video and published by the Alliance Defending Freedom.

“If we receive complaints about it, we have to take it down,” Lake told Chretien.

The pictures of dead babies were “offensive” to some students, and graphic and offensive displays violate campus policy, according to Lake. (RELATED: First Amendment, pro-life flyers shredded on Georgia campus)

The administrator insisted that the policy was neutral and equally enforced. “It’s just like if somebody put up something that upset you in some way that you felt deeply about,” she told Chretien.

Chretien replied that she “probably wouldn’t want them to take it down,” if the situation were reversed and she was the one offended, however.

Lake also told Chretien that she was lucky the poster survived as long as it did, since hypersensitive students could have petitioned for its removal much sooner.

Chretien told The Daily Caller that her First Amendment rights were clearly violated.

“Our group was very upset that the university decided to trample all of our First Amendment rights,” she said.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education agreed with Chretien, and criticized the administrator’s faulty understanding of the Constitution. Pro-life students have a First Amendment right to display a poster that offends other students, according to FIRE Vice President Robert Shibley.

“It’s chilling to watch a public university administrator casually and blatantly violate the First Amendment and censor a student viewpoint,” he told The Daily Caller. “Worse still, the administrator’s attitude strongly suggests that this sort of censorship is so routine at the University of Alabama that it’s barely even worth raising an eyebrow.”

The policy, even if enforced in an even-handed manner, would violate the First Amendment. But there is evidence that the policy has not even been evenly enforced. Chretien told Campus Reform that previous displays included posters depicting full-frontal male nudity and bloodstains.

The explicit purpose of the First Amendment is to prohibit government agents from censoring controversial messages, said Chretien.

“We don’t have the First Amendment so we can talk about the weather,” she said.

Administrators’ eagerness to prioritize selective prevention of offense over free speech speaks volumes about the state of the modern American college campus, according to Shibley.

“Those who still deny that there is a crisis of free speech on campus need to watch this video and wake up to the reality that things have gone terribly wrong in the very places in our nation that should be most dedicated to free speech and free thought,” he said.

Lake did not respond to a request for comment.

The Alliance Defending Freedom is representing Bama Students for Life. The group has asked the university to apologize for censoring the poster and allow Chretien to display it again.

•daily chewable fiber
•Vanilla Flavor
•Delicious chewable tablet with oat bran and insulin that promotes regularity.

Why take a fiber supplement?
Most of us don't get the fiber we need. Americans get less than half the recommended amount of fiber per day. Supplemental fiber is a natural way to promote and maintain regularity, but is not a laxative.

Why take Fiber Delights?
Convenient, delicious vanilla-flavored chewable. Fiber Delights lets you decide when and where to boost your fiber intake. No mixes, no fuss, no mess.

Helps your body absorb calcium.
Because of the unique blend of inulin and oat bran fiber, just 4 tablets a day helps your body absorb calcium.

It helps probiotics grow.
The fiber in Fiber Delights acts as "prebiotic," helping beneficial bacteria thrive in your digestive system.

Enhances natural detoxification.
Fiber grabs toxins and helps move them out of your body.

Take 2 chewable tablets daily with water. To achieve maximum benefits, begin with only 1 tablet each day for the first week, and increase to 2 tablets daily thereafter. If additional fiber intake is desired, slowly increase to 6 to 8 tablets daily.

Pat Sullivan

Pat Sullivan ’80 uses his Transylvania science background and Texas MBA to find financial solutions for industry

by William A. Bowden

Pat Sullivan ’80 was sitting in an orientation session at ExxonMobil’s Baytown Refinery in Houston in 1987, listening to a chemical engineer explain the basics of the crude oil refining process to a roomful of support staff—accountants, finance and marketing managers, and human resources employees.

The instructor threw up a chemical structure on the board and asked, “Does anyone know what this is?”

Sullivan, who had just joined the company as a financial analyst, answered, “Yes. It’s methylcyclohexene,” surprising the engineer and everyone else in the room. “It kind of blew him away,” Sullivan said, in a recent interview.

It’s this combination of scientific insight and financial acumen—a real bonus in his profession Sullivan says—that has given him the expertise and tools to succeed in a variety of industrial and manufacturing settings over a professional career of almost three decades. It continues to pay dividends in his current position in Dallas as controller at Luminant, Texas’s largest power company.

Transylvania professors key

Sullivan was already serious about science when he arrived at Transylvania in the fall of 1976 with the idea of eventually doing research and teaching in that area. His encounters with several Transy professors confirmed Sullivan’s belief in the college’s excellent reputation in natural sciences and mathematics. These included chemistry professors Monroe Moosnick and Jerry Seebach, biology professors Lila Boyarsky and J. Hill Hamon, and mathematics professor Charles Haggard.

“I was considering several careers at the time,” Sullivan said. “The nice thing about Transylvania, being a liberal arts college, is that, in addition to my natural sciences courses, I was exposed to other disciplines like economics and statistics. I also took some film art, religion, and philosophy courses. It was good to get that varied exposure.”

After graduation with a double major in biology and chemistry, Sullivan enrolled in a physiology and biophysics graduate program at the University of Kentucky. While there, he also taught chemistry and physics at Lexington Catholic High School.

Two years later, Sullivan decided to veer away from academia and set his sights on a business career. He was recruited—by a Transylvania alum in the executive search business—to a sales and marketing management position with a plastics company in Houston. After three years with the company, he enrolled in the MBA program at the University of Texas in Austin.

“I needed to become more familiar with the language of business,” said Sullivan, who graduated summa cum laude and first in his class at Texas. From this point on in his career, finance and accounting became his areas of concentration and expertise.

ExxonMobil comes calling

Sullivan was recruited off the Texas campus by Exxon (now ExxonMobil) and began work in 1987 at Houston’s Baytown Refinery, one of the largest such facilities in the world. He would stay with Exxon for the next seven years, including the final three years at the corporation’s San Francisco refinery.

“I was promoted through five positions at Exxon,” Sullivan said. “At Baytown, at what would be a $40 billion business today, I was the light clean products economist, with responsibility for planning our gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, and chemical feed stocks products. In San Francisco, I was controller for a $10 billion refinery.”

It was at Exxon that the advantage of being an MBA with an undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry really began to pay off for Sullivan. His science background had first served him well in his sales and marketing position with the Houston plastics company, but was now a key factor in his growing success.

 “I have this insatiable thirst to learn, and I always like to be challenged. I like being in a room with people who are a lot smarter than I am. I learn quite a bit from those situations."

“It’s been an excellent combination of knowledge and skills,” he said. “When you’re talking with engineers in the refinery and they can see that you understand things on a molecular level, it gives you immediate respect. Being a senior financial analyst with that kind of scientific insight allowed me to make a lot of contributions in lowering costs and increasing profits.”

As an example of the kind of work he did for Exxon and the contributions he made to the company’s efficiency and profitability, Sullivan mentioned a situation where he recommended a consolidation of product lines.

“We had a very small aviation gasoline business out of the Baytown Refinery that was still leaded at a time when most of the gasoline pool had become unleaded—deleaded we call it,” he said. “We were tying up facilities and pipelines with a leaded product for a very small product line. I convinced management to consolidate manufacture of that product with our sister refinery in Baton Rouge, which was also producing a very small stream. We were able to free up facilities in Baytown, put more deleaded fuel through there, serve broader markets, and still serve the aviation gas business, but in a much more efficient way.”

Pat Sullivan

Pipelines and donuts

In 1994, Sullivan was lured away from Exxon by Clark Refining and Marketing, Inc., in St. Louis, where he was vice president and controller of the corporation’s $6 billion refining and supply division. He was responsible for integrating an initial public offering of stock and the acquisition of a Chevron refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, into the company’s financial structure.

Sullivan’s next stop was a start-up company in Dallas, Longhorn Pipeline, where he was chief financial officer for nearly a decade. “I did nine different financings and raised about $700 million during those years,” he said. “It was a great experience, working with a brand new company. I felt I could be CFO of anything I wanted to after that.”

In 2004, Sullivan sold his interest in Longhorn and spent the next three years commuting from his home in Dallas to St. Louis and Chicago, helping a friend he had worked with while at Clark to successfully recapitalize his Krispy Kreme Donut franchise business.

Wanting to rejoin a larger company and settle back into one location, Sullivan joined Luminant, his present company (then known as TXU Corporation) in March 2007 as controller of the development and construction business unit. In October of that year, the company went through a $46 billion leveraged buyout that created Energy Future Holdings, of which Luminant is a wholly owned subsidiary. By December, Sullivan had received another promotion and had mining and power generation responsibilities added to his controller position.

Luminant is a power generation business with plant and mine operations, wholesale marketing and trading, and construction and development of new power plants, serving industrial, commercial, and residential customers. Coal is the dominant source of its power generation capacities, but the company also has significant gas, nuclear, solar, and wind operations. It’s the 11th largest mining company in the nation.

With fossil fueled electric generation plants the mainstay for power generation by Luminant, and in the U.S. overall, Sullivan has been involved in, and learned a lot about, environmental issues surrounding emissions of such plants.

“We will be installing the best available technology for controlling emissions in our new plants,” he said, “and retrofitting our older plants in a similar way. We are also trying to skew our future incremental power generation away from fossil fuel to nuclear and renewables, such as solar and wind. Each of those sources of generation has its own issues. I think there will always be a healthy mix of fossil, and a growing mix of renewables and nuclear.”

Sullivan’s career to this point reveals a person willing to retool when necessary, take risks when appropriate, and seize opportunities that appear promising.

“I’ve never been afraid to take on a new opportunity,” he said. “I have this insatiable thirst to learn, and I always like to be challenged. I like being in a room with people who are a lot smarter than I am. I learn quite a bit from those situations. At the same time, with my background, my education, and my experience, I’ve made important contributions to the companies I’ve been involved with.”

Sullivan and his wife, Laurie, live in Dallas with their four sons, Jack, 21, Michael, 19, Kevin, 15, and Luke, 8.

Real estate agents and lenders recommend that home buyers prequalify for a loan before searching for the ideal home—TruWest does too! Not only will it help all parties understand the price range, it will also ensure you don’t waste time getting into your chosen home.

Benefits of Prequalifying

Getting prequalified for a mortgage comes with several benefits that may ultimately save you the hassle of searching for a home that doesn’t match your situation. It helps you do the following:

    Determine which type of loan best fits your needs and financial situation
  • Know what your price range is, so you can shop within your budget
  • Predetermine your monthly payment
  • Understand the expenses related to down payment and closing costs
  • Strengthen your bargaining position when bidding on a home

Lender Considerations

When applying for prequalification, this is what TruWest and other financial institutions evaluate:

  • Down Payment: The more you are able to contribute to the home upfront, the better your chances will be to prequalify for a loan
  • Income: A stable income history shows us that you are capable of making home loan payments
  • Length of Employment: Your employment status—past and present—helps us determine if you’re a reliable candidate for paying back your loan
  • Credit History: An established credit history provides insight about how long you’ve been a consumer and your ability to make payments in a timely manner

Are you ready to start down the home buying path? Take a look at the mortgage options TruWest Credit Union offers and apply online today!

K needs support for his teeth. The funds will be used for dental surgery costs + related expenses. Gratitude for support, love, donations!

Please Support K’s teeth. In 2012, he received incomplete care which has now resulted in necessary urgent dental work—- 3 root canals & crowns!

Since 2007, K. Barrett has faced a chain of oral surgeries— impacted wisdom teeth that resulted in painful allodynia on the chin and jaw, decay into 3 root canals, and 3 longstanding abscesses that weren’t receptive to anti-biotics only to be treated w/ oral surgery.

Along with this dental history, K. was attacked and injured at work in november 2009. His longstanding traumatic experience resulted in extensive nerve damage to their right foot, arthritis, bone shifting/foot fractures as well as a sprained thumb and wrist now with arthritis, nerve damage, and carpel tunnel syndrome. This same result is now true for his left foot. Treatment under worker’s comp has been slow, grueling, and often, dehumanizing.

**He has received two foot surgeries since 2012 and now is awaiting a third for the his left foot that has been hyper-compensating for his permanent disability. The Worker’s Comp system is an excruciatingly painful and dissonant climate for a Transgender Person of Color.
I am exhausted and taxed mentally, emotionally, and physically to the point where pain heightens. Often times, WC doctors, surgeons and professionals will accompany gender shame or victim-blaming without understanding the particular difficulties that someone with several identities has to face professionally.

The money you offer will be solely for the costs of:
-three root canals ($725 each, total $2,175)
-three fillings ($650 each, total $1,950)
All completed by NYU School of Dentistry

Help K. continue his dedication to theirself and communities in struggle with less pain! For more info on K’s work & dedication to community, please see:
http://www.transjusticefundingproject.org/who-we-are/#2013 Grantmaking Panel

Please help and ease strain for K. during this taxing time. We appreciate any love, intentions, goodness, and donations that you can offer.

#SaintHarridan model and mentor @brownroundboi on bodies, beauty, fashion, and health in @curvemag. Awakening and affirming. So proud of our community and these conversations.

[Description: an online publication shows the word, “curve” in bold red & subheader “the best selling lesbian magazine.” In black headline lettering, “When Health & Fashion Intersect By Kelli Dunham, RN, BSN”] I’m quoted & featured in a mainstream gay/lesbian publication. Where’s my rainbow card of immediate freedom? Where’s my marriage equality of L Word fame? Just kidding. I’m brown & trans. Thanks to Kelli for this poignant piece! ****Performer Kay Ulanday Barrett modeled for @saintharridan in the show and later explained why it was important to participate: “In mainstream, I’m told that being pudgy, brown, disabled, trans, I’m told those aren’t desirable. I’m told I don’t exist. That’s kills people like me everyday. However, when I have options to engage my dapper, I’m drawing from my style, my influences & interpretations,  I can be my authentic self. Some people say, that’s just a shirt or hat, what they don’t get is that shirt has utility. It brings my community & i closer to comfort, closer to the love work we connect to… The messaging I’ve received as a queer boi is clear: able bodied, white, skinny, & american bodies are the standard. I counter that standard with my patterned bow tie, beads, cane. With tools & clothing that honor me, I channel my own brand. I harness the art of communities that embody a style that pays no mind to the rules. We can alter the rules….In fashion, in lesbian & gay spaces, my brown bois, migrant bois, femme bois, fat bois, sick & crip bois aren’t celebrated. Being on that runway, wearing apparel that reflects me for just 2 minutes can change the image of fashion, and by proxy celebrate all our complex gorgeous selves.”

A few examples of workshops our communities actually need in real life #14

1) “Leave my bed FOR WHAT?! the myth of bootstraps, productivity, & worth.”

2) “White transmasculinity, bro: how qtpoc get “overlooked” for paid jobs, partners, & resources.”

3) “I eat meat (or not), stop being an asshole: the white skinny cis savior american standards on desire & health.”

4) “White social workers are the worst.”
4.5) “Why do white social workers want to study me/sleep with me?”

5) “Psst… you’re rich: how wealthy POCs take up space in qtpoc, not-profits, & our neighborhoods.”

6) “fuck your music festival: why womyn & cissexism are obnoxiously violent.”

[i was inducted into the #trans100 just recently. i am one of two pilipin@ people and possibly, one of the only who attempts to work on #disabilityjustice work being recognized. there are many fiery and bright #transgender community members who are committed to social change in every asset to society who aren’t recognized enough. I’m humbled to be included and know that so many strive daily for the rights and liberation of an extensive #transgender community in the u.s. there are hella people who brought us here, who may or may not have been recognized. special insta congratulatory shouts to @beaverfuzz, @fakerapper, @janetmock, @ninothefunnyman. #tpoc #tapi #transpeopleofcolor #queer #kaybarrett]

A few examples of workshops our communities actually need in real life #5

1) “Woo without boundaries: how polyamory is used as an excuse to be irresponsible*.”

2) “Stay at home & watch a netflix comedy of your choice without guilt.”

2.5) “This is why I stay home: how party kids & political protests embrace respectability & ableism.”

3) “How puppies, kittens, and waffles are awesome. Always.”

4) “Derailing is my middle name: when white guilt fucks with your mental health.”

5) “But what about my partner? How white love in qt/poc spaces colonises shit. AKA why we can’t have our own (read: nice) things.”

**check: previously used the word “dick” in which was dfab to dfab note, is transmisogynist. Noted, my mistake, my apologies, won’t happen again. Check made by @ojo-de-venado.

The painful reality is that our gender identity is under speculation, suspicion, doubt, and policing. But the current curiosity surrounding Jenner’s interview in the non-trans community creates a magical fantasy based on a very wealthy, able-bodied, American, and white experience that isn’t the case for many of us who struggle for survival and justice as transgender people of color.

The emphasis on Jenner’s announcement focuses on a limited portrayal of transgender lives; there isn’t one exceptional experience, but a plethora of pathways to be trans. I wanted to celebrate these different paths by interviewing two trans women of color who are artists and activists.

 I had a conversation with Katrina Goodlett, one of the founders of the Trans Women of Color Collective, a group working to uplift the stories of trans people of color.

I also spoke to Alexa Vasquez from Santa Ana, Calif., who currently works with Transgeneros en accion Santa Ana, a trans Latina group working for the empowerment of the transgender Latina women of Orange County, many of whom are undocumented.

things too late to text you, so in your dreams, i'll whisper this. [freewrite]

in this love
let our words to be
as harmonic as our moans.

let our promises
spread more muscle
than our legs have ever known.

we aren’t just satisfied tendons
but the cupping of hearts,
pulses again and again,
a generous wavelength.

our rumbling bodies will rest here—
the shiver of your feet like lullaby,
the ache of my feet the timbre in thunderstorms,
yet every morning, we’ll wake up a new song.

we’ll be an unforgettable hum, living a melody we’ve
always wanted to dance to
but never thought we deserved.

A few examples of workshops our communities actually need in real life #34

1) Ah, reactionary agreements & the partners who have them.

2) Being vague with tantrums: how to deal with irresponsible polyamory (A master class).

3) How ableism fucks you over: It just does.

4) You can do your art & survive! No, really. It’ll be real cute.

5) Rock with me: a guide on reciprocity for sick and disabled trans & queer people of color.

Food for me is an unquestionably collective act. It’s beautiful. Learning politics has always been centered in pamilya and homies eating food, sharing recipes, and telling stories. My first political meetings and cultural work spaces, in all kinds of movement work, always guaranteed a delicious spread where everyone showed up to feed one another as a subconscious spiritual connection. I find that cultural awareness starts with food and art. I cannot build with a stranger if we bust out with internalized racism or systemic ableism off the bat. People unfortunately find it difficult and abrasive. However, start off with some cute appetizers, and soon enough we can talk about how our families made recipes from backyard gardens or reminisce about the first time we made something from scratch that felt like home.

[i want to call and ask you to come over...

you’d say, “of course I’ll be there.” the story ends with your exhale at the nape of my neck, my palms eclipsed to your palms, our legs overlapped in the manner of tree branches, and quiet. that’s all I want with you. the need and the leisure of our blended breath. just the thick delicate shape of us after midnight. that’s not what is happening. instead, you and I are beyond miles. we are rivers and roadways apart. if I think too hard about it, I even start to hate the wind between us. we’re so far, we might as well be strangers. and don’t try to console me with, “well, at least we’re under the same moon.” at least the moon gets to see you beam in person. I wish I was the moon. if I were the moon maybe I’d understand the rise and fall, the variation of us. if I were the moon maybe I wouldn’t be so worried to shift my own shape just to get the chance of you.]

Achieving our mission can't happen through leadership alone: having faculty and staff with the desire and the tools to work toward these organizational goals are crucial to all our endeavors.
This week was National Volunteer Week, and it has me thinking about opportunities to give back and serve the Birmingham community.
First, I want to congratulate each of our fourth-year medical students on their strong showing at Match Day on Friday.
Continued scientific discovery is one of the things that make providing—and receiving—patient care unique at academic medical centers like UAB. One way we’re going to continue our innovation is through informatics, the science of collecting, reporting and processing data and using that knowledge to enhance patient care and health.
I will be giving my first State of the School of Medicine address from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 28 in the Margaret Cameron Spain Auditorium, and I am personally inviting you to attend.
This year has been one of hard work and determination to grow and build on the leadership of the JOL and my predecessors in the dean’s office.
When President Ray Watts and leaders of UAB Medicine developed and implemented AMC21, comprehensive strategic, they set some lofty goals in setting aside funds to recruit research faculty and concentrate focus in priority areas.
As we re-initiate our strategic plan (AMC 21 Reload), I am asking for your input on our areas of strategic emphasis in research.

Collective Action Project in India

Launched in January 2011, the India based Anti-Corruption Collective Action Project (CAP) aims to develop a collective action platform that facilitates ongoing dialogue between the private and public sector regarding the best ways to implement the 10th Principle against corruption in the local context. The project is supported by the Siemens Integrity Initiative Funds.

The CAP aims to:

  • Address the economic implications of corruption and environmental sustainability with a special emphasis on business practices vis-à-vis water management and climate change.
  • Explore how leading companies tackle ethical dilemmas concerning environmental sustainability.
  • Raise awareness among business executives, government officials and the general public about the value of collective action and corporate sustainability in fighting corruption.

The collective action platform will provide a road map to increase awareness of anti-corruption strategies among key stakeholders in India including the government, business, international development agencies and think-tanks.

Anti-Corruption Sub Committee

The Collective Action Project receives valuable guidelines from the Global Compact Network India’s Anti Corruption Sub Committee consisting of key stakeholders engaged in anti-corrupt and corporate sustainability matters.

Anti-Corruption Sub-Committee Members include:

  • Mr. P. Venkatarama Shastry – AntiCorruption and Crime Prevention Expert, UNODC
  • Mr. Neville Gandhi – Regional Compliance Officer, Siemens
  • K. Subramaniam – Officer on Special Duty (OSD), Central Vigilance Commission (CVC)
  • Ms. Anupama Jha-   Executive Director, Transparency International India
  • Mr. S. B. Sarkar – General Manager (Vigilance), GAIL (India) Limited
  • Mr. Sundeep Kumar - Director (Corporate Affairs), Novartis India Limited

Activities and Events

  • Stakeholder Mapping and Analysis – Key stakeholders were identified for the Collective Action Project (CAP). Stakeholders will provide CAP with insight into how companies and corporations facilitate sharing of best practices and challenges with regards to anti-corruption.
  • Sectoral Mapping of GCN India Members – The Network has approximately 100 members from both the public and the private sector. GCN India members were mapped by sector to better understand collectively their industry representation and expertise.
  • Risk Assessment – A two-step corruption risk assessment was conducted (first broad, then a sector specific). Subsequently a policy paper was prepared to identify the existing corruption and environmental sustainability risks found in various sectors.

  • Anti-Corruption Sub Committee Meeting (16 June 2011)
    An Anti-Corruption Sub Committee was convened to deliberate upon the CAP. In this meeting the 8 month work plan for the CAP was shared with Sub Committee members. A new Convener was chosen to preside over future committee meetings. The Terms of Reference for the Anti-Corruption Subcommittee was also finalized.
  • Collective Action Project Meeting (28 July 2011)
    A presentation on the Collective Action Project was given to the members of the Global Compact Network India in the monthly meeting of GCN. In this meeting the scope and the expected outcomes of the project were comprehensively discussed with members.
  • Strategic Group Think Session (29 July 2011)
    A Strategic Group Think Session was organized with select Anti-Corruption Subcommittee members and some of the key civil society stakeholders. To maintain the objectiveness of the exercise, an external facilitator was invited for the session. The Session served as a platform for the mutual sharing of ideas and opinions regarding the CAP project and deliberations on future course of action.

A three member project team has been constituted to implement the Collective Action Project in India. For more information please contact the project team:

Web & Mobile Development Web Development Posted 2 years ago

Fixed Price

Delivery by January 5, 2013

There is some formatting which we would like amended. im only learning using wordpress and haven’t been able to do as much as i would have liked.

We want our overall appearance to be like that of the ‘Eastern Sands Comfort Inn’ webpage.  -http://www.comfortinneasternsands.com/index.php?title=home
Can we have it set up more like this with the side columns and widget with our contact details on the home page, the book now link there also on each page and the footers the same.

Also can you amend the local attractions page so that it looks better fonts headings etc and aligned better on the page.
I added a page ‘our location’ and the details we want there along with a Google map of our motel (however it keeps defaulting to a map of new york?) our address is 2 Victoria st Victor Harbor SA 5211

We would really like to get the ball rolling with this new page so if you could please get back to me if you have any questions that would be great.

Kind Regards

    Reliable, accurate, and rapid completion of English transcriptions. My typing speed is 70-80 wpm, with an accuracy rate of 99%. My experience in transcription includes legal, medical, financial, IT and general. Confidentiality, accuracy and speed are my top priorities. My previous work experience includes general secretarial for 14 years, legal secretarial for five years, and office management / HR / executive assistant to CEO for three years. UK English is my mother tongue, however, I am equally familiar with US English, having resided in Florida for the past 16 years. I am an extremely accurate typist, and never promise something I cannot deliver. Confidentiality is a priority. Of the six tests I have taken on oDesk, five of them put me in the top 10% and one in the top 20% of English and American English skills. During my life I have lived in five different countries on three continents, and have a well developed and keen ear for foreign accents.

I am a graduate of BS Nursing and registered professional nurse in the Philippines with complete training in the field. For the last three years, I've been transcribing on a daily basis. From the day I started transcribing, I have loved the profession, and I am learning to love it more. It is a way for me to stay at home with my two toddlers while I earn to support our needs. Since then, I have improved my skills and made a lot of clients happy and kept them with me. I am a big proponent of continuous learning. I find that I learn a lot with transcribing and proofreading, and so I believe making transcripts is a worthwhile job that enables me to earn and learn and to help you as a client. On transcripts (and all outputs), I am ridiculously into details and grammar and punctuation. It is irritating for me to see written works with simple grammatical or punctuation errors. I believe in simplicity and neatness when it comes to written works. I put a great deal of effort into making neat and accurate works.
