The Sea the Sea and Freddy & Francine
The Sea The Sea is an Upstate New York-based indie folk-pop duo featuring what Huffington Post calls, "Two of the loveliest male-female voices you might ever hear this or any other year." The group has received praise from NPR, American Songwriter, and No Depression, among others, earning features across all major music platforms including Apple Music's Best of the Week, The A-List Singer/Songwriter, and over 15 million streams on Spotify. The animated video for their song "Waiting" sparked viral interest at Buzzfeed, Pitchfork, and an international TED conference in 2015. Mountain Stage host Larry Groce calls The Sea The Sea "ready to take their place among the best young male/female duos now performing."
An indie folk duo known for their vocal energy, catchy melodies and charming stage presence, Freddy & Francine started out in Los Angeles before relocating to Nashville. Over the years, as their act was coming together, he drove trucks and played Carl Perkins in the national touring company of Million Dollar Quartet. She worked in an office, and co-wrote a television pilot starring Seth Rogen. Finally they found their footing as a duo whose original songs sit comfortably between folk, pop and Americana "Freddy & Francine [real names Lee Ferris and Bianca Caruso] have a musical connection that radiates from the stage and draws the listeners in," wrote the reviewer for Music Connection. "The duo captivates the room with a simple setup of two microphones, a guitar and four stomping feet. With witty banter, Caruso charms her way through the evening, while Ferris comes along for the ride, and the audience swoons."

Q: Why is my RecordCount always -1? I want to run a SQL query to just see if data of an ID is already in the database.
I used this answer to achieve that.
But it doesn't work. The database does have rows and when I run the exact SQL queries, it shows me several results. But RecordCount seems to be always -1. Even this isn't recognized in the following IF clause. Here's my code:
sqlCommand2 =   "SELECT * FROM database " &_
                "WHERE row = 'whatever';"
                SET objRS2 = objConn.Execute(sqlCommand2)

                Wscript.Echo "RecordCount: " & objRS2.RecordCount 'ALWAYS returns -1

                IF objRS2.RecordCount > 0 THEN

Why is RecordCount always set to -1?

A: Try changing the cursor type to adOpenStatic. You can use the function below.
*Note that you will need to include your connection string below.
  Function RS(strSQL)
     Dim oConn, oRs
     Set oConn  = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
     oConn.CommandTimeout = 1800
     oConn.Open("[ConnectionStringValueGoesHere]")

     Set oRs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
     oRs.CursorLocation = 3
     oRS.Open strSQL, oConn, 3, 4
     oRS.ActiveConnection = Nothing
     oConn.Close
     Set oConn = Nothing

     Set executeSQLreturnRS = oRs
 End Function

So change this line:
SET objRS2 = objConn.Execute(sqlCommand2)

To:
SET objRS2 = RS(sqlCommand2)

Who doesn't know Sylvester Stallone? He is known for the different professions he is into, but there is something that you notice the moment you watch his movies – his slurry conversations. Even though he has a lot of fans, almost all of them wonder about the reason behind his speech.
When Jacqueline Stallone, Sylvester Stallone's mother, was pregnant, she went through several complications during the labor. When the complications worsened, her obstetricians used two pairs of forceps during the birth of this actor. When these forceps accidentally injured a nerve of the baby, Stallone's face paralyzed. Due to this entire thing, the lower left side of his face gave him a slurred speech and the look that he has always been known for.
However, there are still a lot of people, who love this actor for the kind of style he has. Despite the paralysis caused in his lip, chin and tongue, he is known for the way he has acted in so many movies. So the next time you watch his movie, make sure you don't make fun of that slurry speech because that's nothing but an accident caused by the obstetricians.

Republicans Need to Call Off the Voting Wars—for Their Own Good
By Alec MacGillis
We are now three weeks to Election Day, which means we are deep into another round of the voting wars—the ceaseless legislative, legal and regulatory battle over which Americans can vote, and when and where and with what paperwork they must do so. Here's a modest proposal: How about we finally call off the fight?
Forget it, you say. There is no way the Republican Party and conservative movement, which have invested so much time and effort in restricting the franchise to serve partisan ends, are going to give up now. But what if there are some good reasons why it might actually be in their interest to do so? Consider:
1. The voting wars are a costly, bureaucratic nightmare.
Conservatives claim to disdain bureaucratic waste and costly litigation—which is exactly what the voting wars have devolved into. Every few days, it seems, brings a new court ruling on a state's voting laws, often reversing another ruling of just a few days or weeks prior. This back and forth is not just hard to keep track of—it is also causing no end of bureaucratic disarray, which comes at a price to the taxpayer. Take Wisconsin, one of the most contested fronts in the voting wars. In April, a federal district court judge tossed out the state's new law requiring photo ID at the polls. Last month, a federal appeals court overruled him—but not before absentee ballots had gone out to voters, which meant that the state's 1,852 municipal election clerks had to start sending out notices to the 11,000 voters who had already requested absentee ballots alerting them that they would need to provide a copy of their photo ID with their returned ballot. The state's Government Accountability Board also scraped up close to $20,000 from its budget to fund a last-minute public-awareness campaign about the voter ID requirement, with another $400,000 on tap to continue the campaign until Election Day.
But then came yet another reversal—the Supreme Court's ruling on Thursday night suspending Wisconsin's voter ID requirement because it was being implemented too close to the election to allow people without IDs to obtain them. The $400,000 campaign is on hold—but the $20,000 has been spent, and the (now pointless) efforts to reach absentee voters about the photo ID rule have already been made. Is this really how Governor Scott Walker thinks we should be spending taxpayer money?
2. The absence of voter fraud is becoming impossible to deny.
Liberals and civil libertarians have long argued that the threat of voter fraud cited to justify voter ID laws was wildly overstated, and that the only real effect of such laws would be to reduce voting by racial and ethnic minorities and young people who lacked the necessary identification. But there was just enough empirical haze around the laws, and their central claim was sufficiently intuitive (yeah, why shouldn't we require an ID to vote, if you need one to get on a plane or pick up a prescription?) for many neutral arbiters to go along with the laws, as did the Supreme Court with its 2008 ruling (written by the liberal Justice John Paul Stevens!) upholding the voter ID requirement in Indiana. Increasingly, though, voting restrictions are losing the benefit of such official diffidence as the reality of the new laws starts to sink in. Last year, the highly respected, Reagan-appointed federal appeals court judge Richard Posner declared in a memoir that he had erred in writing the majority opinion upholding the Indiana law, which was in turn affirmed by the Supreme Court. The voter ID requirement, he wrote, was "a type of law now widely regarded as a means of voter suppression rather than of fraud prevention." Earlier this year, the federal district court ruling overturning Wisconsin's voter ID, by Judge Lynn Adelman, was stinging in its denunciation: "Because virtually no voter impersonation occurs in Wisconsin and it is exceedingly unlikely that voter impersonation will become a problem in Wisconsin in the foreseeable future, this particular state interest has very little weight," he wrote. "The defendants could not point to a single instance of known voter impersonation occurring in Wisconsin at any time in the recent past."
Yes, the appeals court overruled Edelman a few months later (with Posner issuing a strong dissent: "Some of the 'evidence' of voter-impersonation fraud is downright goofy, if not paranoid," he wrote.) But the fact remains that the absence of evidence of voter fraud is becoming harder to deny and giving skeptical judges more confidence to overturn the laws. In Texas, where federal district Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos last week struck down the state's stringent voter ID law, there have been two convictions for in-person voter impersonation over a 10-year stretch during which 20 million votes were cast, leading Ramos to declare the photo ID requirement the equivalent of an "unconstitutional poll tax." Also last week came another major empirical blow to voter ID proponents: a report from the Government Accountability Office that not only further affirmed the lack of evidence of voter fraud, but also determined that voter ID laws in Kansas and Tennessee had likely reduced turnout by minorities and young people, just as opponents of the laws have all along been saying such laws would do. "The evidence of a voter fraud problem has gotten only weaker, and the effects on turnout potentially larger," says Rick Hasen of the University of California-Irvine School of Law, a leading voting-law expert.
As a result, centrist arbiters are increasingly coming to the conclusion that the Washington Post editorial board did over the weekend in an editorial titled "Republicans go to great lengths to keep some people from the ballot box": "The United States does not have a voter impersonation crisis demanding the imposition of voter ID requirements… And it's hardly outrageous to spend money to open polling places well before Election Day and keep them open for long hours. Instead of juicing the rules to minimize opponents' turnout, the country's leaders should adopt an automatic, universal voter registration system and remove absurd restrictions on which polling places individuals must attend. The current, cumbersome, two-step voting process promotes confusion and deters participation. Republicans' blatant efforts to depress turnout even more is a disgrace."
3. The GOP's voter suppression efforts are motivating Democrats.
The findings of the GAO report on reduced turnout in Kansas and Tennessee might seem like a good argument in favor of Republicans keeping up the voting wars: if the laws are keeping Democratic-leaning voters at home, isn't that a sign that the laws are working just as Republicans secretly (or not-so-secretly) hope? The thing is, there is also reason to believe that the push to restrict voting is in some states serving as motivation for precisely those groups of voters who targeted by the laws to make the most of their franchise. In Ohio, another major front in the voting wars, African-Americans voted at even higher levels in the 2012 election than they had four years earlier, when President Barack Obama was making his historic first run for the presidency. And in North Carolina, where the Republican-led government passed the nation's most comprehensive voting restrictions in 2011, one Democratic activist told the Washington Post's Greg Sargent that the restrictions—which include eliminating same-day voter registration and cutting back early voting—were firing up voters who might otherwise be indifferent: "The news that the Republicans are trying to suppress the vote is highly motivating to our core supporters. As it turns out, low turnout base voters don't take kindly to the message that somebody thinks they should stay home." Several conservatives, including New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, have for a while now been warning that voting restrictions are serving as a useful goad for Democrats.
How to reconcile the GAO's finding of depressed youth and minority turnout in Kansas and Tennessee with the opposite result in places like Ohio in 2012? Well, for one thing, Ohio, while having cut back on early voting in 2012, did not have a stringent voter ID requirement in place for that election that may have kept eligible voters from the polls as seemed to happen in Kansas and Tennessee. But the other difference may be the political context of the states—that is, that Ohio, like North Carolina, is a battleground where there are Democratic campaigns doing everything they can to get voters to the polls despite the restrictions—including reminding them of said restrictions as a motivating device. In red states like Kansas and Tennessee, by contrast, there was no one stoking a backlash (or helping voters without IDs get them), leaving Democratic-inclined voters who lacked the necessary identification with less reason to overcome the obstacle.
In other words, the voter ID laws may be suppressing turnout enough in solidly red states to buttress opponents' argument that the laws are discriminatory—but in battleground states where Republicans most desire an edge, the laws may be proving counter-productive. It's the worst of both worlds: the laws are costing Republicans moral standing, with less-than-desire partisan gains.
4. Rand Paul says so.
After the 2012 election, the Republican National Committee released a much-ballyhooed report on the imperative to broaden the party's demographic appeal. "America is changing demographically, and unless Republicans are able to grow our appeal … the changes tilt the playing field even more in the Democratic direction," the report declared. "If we want ethnic minority voters to support Republicans, we have to engage them and show our sincerity." A few sections later, the report got more specific: "The RNC must embark on a year-round effort to engage with African American voters. The engagement must include not only persuasion based upon our Party's principles but also a presence within community organizations. There are numerous outside groups that are studying the best way for the Republican Party to better reach African American voters."
Well, there's a pretty basic way to "better reach African American voters": stop trying to keep African Americans from becoming voters.
Rand Paul gets this, which is why he's been urging his party to call off the fight, albeit with occasional hedging. Yes, he has his own motivations for establishing good relations with African Americans. But his chiding of his own party on this score has hit a real nerve. "So many times, Republicans are seen as this party of, 'We don't want black people to vote because they're voting Democrat, we don't want Hispanic people to vote because they're voting Democrat,'" he said this month. "We wonder why the Republican Party is so small. Why don't we be the party that's for people voting, for voting rights?"
Why not, indeed. I have little expectation that the diehard champions of voting restrictions are about to relinquish the cause—just the other day, John Fund and Hans Von Spakovsky, the John Jay and Tom Paine of the voting-restriction movement, wrote an op-ed crowing that "the Left and President Obama are losing their fight to block the widespread introduction of voter ID cards." "The myth that voter ID is a new Jim Crow-type effort to reduce minority voting is widely rejected for the rubbish that it is," they wrote. (Fund followed up this week with another piece headlined, "Braced for Voting Fraud in Colorado.") And I'm well aware that the movement has advanced far enough that it's not just a matter of getting its foot-soldiers to give up the fight, but of actually reversing laws that are already on the books in Kansas, Tennessee, and many other states (22 states have implemented new restrictions on voting since 2010 alone). Finally, there's the little matter of the Supreme Court, which gave freer rein to states bent on restricting voting with its 5-4 ruling last year eviscerating the Voting Rights Act.
Still, it seems not beyond the realm of possibility that other Republicans and conservatives may start reckoning with the points listed above and start rethinking this anti-democratic crusade. Just a few weeks ago, Americans of all political stripes praised the Scots for the extraordinary democratic display of their independence referendum, in which 84.5 percent of eligible citizens voted. How about if we called off this utterly opposite, undemocratic display of seeking to keep a whole swath of Americans from the polls?
Or we could just keep fighting this war—year after year, inch by inch, citizen by citizen.

Popular myth states that as the second son he was destined to be the Archbishop of Canterbury! At his birth his father was not fully secure on the throne of England. This was a throne that had a habit of changing hands on an alarmingly regular basis, normally with foul means involved.

During the European Renaissance, an age marked equally by revolutionary thought and constant warfare, it was armies, rather than philosophers, who shaped the modern European nation state. "Mobile cities" of mercenaries and other paid soldiers - made up of astonishingly diverse aggregations of ethnicities and nationalities - marched across the land, looting and savaging enemy territories. In the 15th century, Poland hired German, Spanish, Bohemian, Hungarian, and Scottish soldiers.

Interview with John C. Goudie, President of the Paralegal Association of Wisconsin
We recently had the chance to talk to John C. Goudie, the president of the Paralegal Association of Wisconsin. In this interview we discussed some of the activities involved in working as a litigation paralegal, the paralegal job market, and advice for getting started in the paralegal field.
Can you describe your career path to your current position?
I started my career in 1987 working for a small personal injury firm. I was hired primarily because I had a medical background and could read and interpret medical records. Prior to the days of HIPAA, you could go to a hospital and review medical charts without an authorization. My attorney would have me review the records of prospective clients to determine whether we were interested in handling the injury claim. While with that firm I began assisting the attorney who did the Workers Compensation cases. When she left, I went through the process of becoming licensed to appear before the Workers Compensation Division and then continued to represent injured workers with that firm for the next 14 years. When I left that firm, I worked for the staff counsel office in liability and injury insurance defense for approximately three years, then went back to a plaintiff's firm and worked in the area of nursing home negligence and abuse for approximately three years. I then went to work for a health insurer in the area of Privacy and Regulatory Compliance, working as the paralegal for the group that would work with development projects for compliance with privacy and regulatory issues, as well as working on investigations dealing with foreign assets issues. My present position in health care law and corporate compliance is a composite of skills and experience obtained in all of the above. (more…)
Interview with Kristine M. Custodio, President of the San Diego Paralegal Association
We recently had the great opportunity to interview Kristine M. Custodio, the current president of the San Diego Paralegal Association. We discussed what it is like to work as a litigation paralegal, advice for getting started in the paralegal field, and the job market in San Diego for paralegals.
Can you tell us why you decided to become a paralegal?
I did not originally plan to become a paralegal. In 1998, I received a bachelor's degree from the California State University Long Beach in Human Development with an emphasis in physical therapy and was planning to obtain my graduate degree in the field when my mother became ill. I returned to San Diego that same year where I succeeded my mother as the administrator to my family's residential facility for adults with developmental disabilities. I am still involved with my family's business to this day. (more…)
Interview with Karen R. George, President of the South Florida Paralegal Association
We were very fortunate to have an opportunity to interview the President of the South Florida Paralegal Association, Karen R. George, FRP. She shared some great insights into her work, interesting cases she has worked on, and advice for getting hired in the paralegal field.
Can you describe how you got started in the paralegal field?
I began working as a paralegal in approximately 1994 while working for a large medical malpractice defense firm in Miami, Florida. At the time, I was working as a word processing supervisor and the AIDS cases started coming into the firm. Kimberly Shapiro, Esq. was the attorney assigned to defend these cases against the local blood banks and PPTF (Physicians Trust Fund) which was financial/insurance end of the local public hospital – Jackson Memorial Hospital. Kim, her husband Judge Sidney Shapiro and I were friends and I was fortunate enough that Kim chose me to work with her on these new cases. After working on those cases for a while, I began a paralegal certificate class at Florida International University however, a large trial took me away to another county for an extended time and school got lost in the shuffle.
Can you give example of what a day at work might be like for you?
There is no set day for a paralegal. In my case, I can open my e-mail at the office, receive an e-mail that will send me anywhere for any amount of time. I could end up at the Court, at a hospital, at a client's office, at one of our other offices, it could be anywhere. I could have a good day and be able to address what is in my in-box, discovery, motions, orders, research, it is difficult to know what is going to show up on a given day. Sometimes I end up translating from English to Spanish and vice-a-versa at some accident site. I wear many many hats as a paralegal for my firm. I am sorry I can't be more specific.
Can you share an interesting case or project that you worked on in your career that is particularly memorable? (more…)
Interview with Barbara Liss, President of the Santa Barbara Paralegal Association
We recently interviewed Barbara Liss, the president of the Santa Barbara Paralegal Association. She shared some great insights into the variety of tasks that a paralegal career may involve, what it is like to work on a trial, and advice for new paralegals looking for their first position.
How did you get started in the paralegal field?
When I first moved to California in 1972, I managed the apartment building in which I lived. The owner liked me and hired me to work in his office; after reorganizing it in short order, he ran out of work to give me, so introduced me to a friend, who was an attorney, just starting up a general solo practice after having made a mid-life career change. We learned procedural work together. When he left solo practice to accept a position with a large, downtown Los Angeles firm, I accompanied him — it was the mid-1970's and my title was then "legal secretary," although much of what I did was paralegal work. Eventually, I took my first position as a paralegal, where the title was "pseudo-paralegal" because the firm was afraid to use the actual title.
After bouncing between legal secretary and legal assistant/paralegal jobs, I took the UCSB extension legal assistant program classes at night and acquired my certificate. When I started working in complex business trial litigation, I took the title "trial paralegal." By the mid-1980's word processing and secretarial work were more specifically the realm of legal secretaries and word processors while working with evidence, discovery and witnesses in preparation for and attending trial were more clearly defined as paralegal work assignments, the field in which I worked. After 35 years of prepping for and attending complex civil litigation trials in state and federal courts, I changed the direction of my career and transitioned into Wills, Trusts, Probate and Estate Administration work, where I currently practice and have done so for the past five years.

Interview with Mariana Fradman, New York Real Estate Paralegal
We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to interview Mariana Fradman who is the President of the New York City Paralegal Association Inc. and an accomplished real estate paralegal who also holds a master's in business administration. We discussed what it was like to become a paralegal after immigrating from Ukraine, what her job is like, and her advice for paralegals.
Can you tell us what inspired you to go into the legal field and how you got your first job as a paralegal?
I would disappoint many people, but I wasn't inspired by anything or anyone to go into the legal field. The legal field "found" me. After I finished English Second Language (ESL) course at New York Association for New Americans (NYANA), I was at a crosswalk: majority of immigrants from the former U.S.S.R. entered the computer science field or medical field. None of those appealed to me. I don't like to deal with blood, bones and muscles and anatomy was never my favorite subject (although I was an A student :-)). I also was skeptical of how many programmers the country needed (had a good vision – remember dot.com?). So, I went to Long Island University (LIU) for another semester of English. In one of the classes I met a former psychiatrist from Kiev who gave me an advise: "Buy any newspaper, open "help wanted" section, close your eyes and put your finger on the page. Open your eyes and see what you picked. Go and learn the skill for one year. In a year, you will know if the choice was right or not, but for a year, you will be busy doing something and it would give you a piece of mind." I didn't follow his advise step by step, but went to a college's admission office, walked to a display with brochures of different majors that were offered at that time and, with my eyes closed, picked one. It had information about the Paralegal Studies Program. (more…)
Interview with Personal Injury Paralegal Jamie Collins, Founder of The Paralegal Society
Jamie Collins generously agreed to participate in a paralegal career interview with us to share her experiences working as a paralegal at a personal injury law firm and her advice for being successful in this field. Jamie Collins is a litigation paralegal in Indiana with 14 years of experience and writes a column for the paralegal magazine KNOW. She is also the founder of The Paralegal Society, a mentorship and community site for paralegals.
Can you tell us why you chose to become a paralegal?
It was luck or fate, I'm not sure which. I interviewed at a small law firm on my birthday 14 years ago and landed my first legal job working as a part-time receptionist. They eventually offered to pay for a portion of my paralegal degree, so I took classes at a local college and worked three days per week. I continued to hone my paralegal skills and eventually, I was hired on full-time. I worked at that firm for 6 years and learned so much from the attorneys for whom I worked. It was an ideal fit for me.
I really enjoyed working in the paralegal realm and offering my expertise and skills to help people in their time of need. I really love what I do! I'm now fourteen years into my career and I still find it to be a challenging and extremely rewarding on a daily basis. Although luck or fate brought me into the legal profession, it is my passion for the paralegal field that keeps me here. I absolutely love it.
What was your experience like when attending college as a paralegal student?
I put the cart before the horse in the work/educational realm. I worked in a law firm for nearly two years prior to attending college to obtain my paralegal degree, so for me, it was a unique experience. I already knew much of what was being taught. It definitely made me a lot more confident as a paralegal student to already have a legal job and daily access to the "smart" attorneys I worked around if I had a question or needed to learn something new. I was more interested in learning all of the nuances of law because I knew the paralegal field was where I wanted to be. I enjoyed learning additional areas of law during my paralegal studies, but ultimately, realized I was already working in the area of law best suited for me: personal injury and wrongful death law.

Best Paralegal Career Advice
Paralegal Career Advice from 17 Leaders in the Paralegal Community
We asked leaders in the paralegal profession to share the best career advice that they have ever received. Here are their responses:
I have been thinking back on all of my years as a paralegal, over 15, and the best piece of advice I have received came early in my career when I was told to "speak up". Meaning that if the attorney you are working for is incorrect in any aspects, from procedures to laws, speak up. Our duties are not only to assist attorneys, but to keep them on the right track. This is especially true when you are a veteran paralegal and you are working for a green attorney.
-Donna C. Alderman ACP, President of the Mississippi Paralegal Association
I would say by far the best advice I have received is take five minutes in the midst of a hectic day and remember that things are not always as stressful as they seem. Maintaining perspective is important. When we paralegals are in our "work bubble" it can seem as though we will never be able to come up for air.
-LawSchoolDreamer, author of the blog A Paralegal's Journey to Lawyerhood
Don't ever hide a mistake; the sooner you admit it the better; never make excuses, and take responsibility.
-Maryanne Ebner, First Vice President of The Philadelphia Association of Paralegals
The best career advice I could give is to go the extra mile when it comes to your education. Obtain a certification, earn a diploma or degree. There are so many options now and convenient ways to do it. Your education will benefit you throughout your career.
-Nikki L. Campos, owner of TruE-Paralegal and Treasurer of the Central Nebraska Legal Professionals.
Always be organized – even when the unexpected happens. Keeping your composure in difficult and stressful situations is beneficial to you, your attorney, and your client. Let people know that you can be professional in any situation by the way you represent yourself at all times. Don't gossip about attorneys, staff, or other paralegals. It makes you look bad. "What is told in the ear of a man is often heard 100 miles away." ~Chinese Proverb Keep learning! Things change — keep up with technology! Keep up with software (even if it is just knowing what is out there and being used). And finally, get involved! If you are making a career of being a paralegal – get involved in a local association, a local bar association, or a national organization. By being involved you can help shape the paralegal profession in your community and it creates great networking opportunities.
-Barbara A. Miller, 2nd Vice President of the Smoky Mountain Paralegal Association
The best advice I received was probably to be assertive in making sure expectations of your attorneys are clear. As a new paralegal, I was intimidated at the thought of asking follow up questions after an assignment had been made and I'd gone back to my office and begun my work only to realize I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. Going right back to the attorney to clarify the instructions and expectations is the only thing to do to accomplish the task in a timely and efficient manner. The attorney will appreciate you for doing that rather than wasting time trying to figure out what he or she meant on your own and guessing wrong requiring work to be re-done.
-Tammie Pope, Board Member of the Palmetto Paralegal Association
The very best advice I received early on in my career was triple fold: 1) Own your files. From the very beginning get to know all the details of the case and build from there. 2) Dig in, dig deep and stay organized; and 3 (and what I think is the most important) keep the lines of communication open with your attorney.
-Vickie Baker, Board Member of the Palmetto Paralegal Association
I was told to find an area of the law that I enjoyed and stick with it. Do not try and be a jack of all trades and master of none. Find something, do it, get great at it.
-Shawn Hartman, Chair of Probates/Estate at the Massachusetts Paralegal Association
Learn everything you can and try different things.
-Mario Kiefer, President of the San Francisco Paralegal Association (more…)
Advice on How to Become a Successful Paralegal in Connecticut with Lynda Cmara
We had the great opportunity to interview Lynda Cmara, a paralegal at the law firm Johnson, Dowe, Brown & Barbarotta in Windsor, Connecticut and President of the New Haven County Association of Paralegals. Lynda shared career advice for new paralegals and the most important thing that she learned in college.
Why did you decide to become a paralegal?
I was working in real estate department of a major New England bank when I started looking into becoming a paralegal. It was during a time when banks were either failing or merging and I wanted a career path that would provide more stable employment opportunities. I was also considering relocation to Oregon and I thought being a paralegal would be a great choice. The skills possessed by a paralegal could be easily transferred no matter what part of the country I worked in.
Are there any specific education requirements for becoming a paralegal in the State of Connecticut?
Although Connecticut has no specific educational requirements at this time, most employers look for the following criteria: (more…)
Advice on Becoming a Paralegal in Mississippi: Interview with Rachel Nesbit
We recently had the great privilege of discussing the paralegal profession with Rachel Nesbit, a paralegal at Heilman Law Group in Jackson, Mississippi and Vice President of the Mississippi Paralegal Association.

1. Can you summarize for our audience what the main requirements are for becoming a paralegal in the state of Mississippi?
The requirements for becoming a paralegal in Mississippi can vary greatly depending on the type of work you will be doing.

California Paralegal Requirements And Career Advice: An Interview with Stacey G. Hunt
We recently interviewed Stacey G. Hunt, the president of the Central Coast Paralegal Association in California to learn about how to become a paralegal in California and advice on having a successful career in the paralegal field.
Can you summarize the requirements for becoming a paralegal in California?
California law provides three paths to become a paralegal: (1) a certificate of completion from an ABA-approved paralegal program; (2) a certificate of completion of a paralegal program or degree from an accredited postsecondary institution that requires the successful completion of at least 24 semester units in law-related courses; or (3) a baccalaureate degree or an advanced degree on any subject plus a minimum of one year of law related experience under the supervision on a California lawyer who has been practicing at least three years. California paralegals must complete four hours of general law CLE and four hours of ethics CLE every two years. (more…)


*This story has been corrected and updated to accurately reflect the 2013-to-date harvest levels.
Minnesota hunters registered 111,000 deer through the third and last weekend of firearms deer season, down 31,000 from the same period in 2013, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
So far this year during special hunts and the archery, early antlerless and firearms seasons, hunters have harvested 127,000 deer, down from the 2013 to-date harvest total of 160,000.
This year's lower harvest is by design because regulations were implemented to place more deer – particularly does – off limits to increase Minnesota's deer population.
The DNR's ongoing deer management work also includes upcoming revisions to the deer population goals for large portions of northeastern, north-central and east-central Minnesota. This is part of a multi-year goal-setting process for the entire state. People interested in helping set these deer population goals can get more information on the process and opportunities for involvement at www.mndnr.gov/deer.

North Korea, "the worst problem on Earth"
Wong Maye-E / AP
This Atlantic cover story (online soon) by Mark Bowden, author of "Black Hawk Down" and the new "Huế 1968," gives us some new baseline thoughts about the dilemma North Korea poses for the U.S.:
"Thirty minutes. That's how long it would take a nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launched from North Korea to reach Los Angeles."
"Even failed tests move North Korea closer to its goal possessing nuclear weapons capable of hitting U.S. cities."
"Kim [Jong-un] may end up trapped in the circular logic of his strategy. He seeks to avoid destruction by building a weapon that, if used, assures his destruction."
"Every option the United State has for dealing with North Korea is bad."
"An American first strike would likely trigger one of the worst mass killings in human history."
"Would the U.S. sacrifice Los Angeles to save Seoul?"


In a letter to the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) of the Dutch Parliament, the Dutch State Secretary of Infrastructure and the Environment mentions True Pricing as an enabler for 'circular decisions'.
The Ministry for Infrastructure and the Environment supports the True Price Platform, with which we are further developing our method for calculating hidden ecological and social costs. Open-source guidelines on how to calculate these costs will be published in the course of this year. When hidden costs are monetized, they can be used to concretely inform decisions within companies and sectors.
Transparency on the hidden costs of different products and companies can as such lead to circular innovation, as the True Price of circular production is lower due to reduced extraction and waste. The full letter and its informative attachment can be downloaded on the Dutch government website.

Turning Up the Volume on Offshore Drilling Opposition
By Jennifer Rubiello
State Director
FL Blog.png
We're posting this blog that originally ran on the Environment Florida Research & Policy Center website.
Back in January, when the Trump administration announced plans to open 90 percent of U.S. coastlines to drilling, the opposition protested loudly. See two examples here and here.
At Environment Florida Research & Policy Center, our take on the administration's plan is this: it's a disaster. Our coasts are too beautiful and the risks are too great, as the world saw with the Deepwater Horizon explosion. And any plan designed to find and harvest more oil is unneeded (renewables are surging and clean cars are selling).
Florida has found itself at the center of the debate, given the drama of whether Florida's coasts are in the Trump plan or out. I pointed out that the administration was playing games with Florida, including this quote in the Orlando Sentinel:
"The administration is playing 'Hokey Pokey' with Florida's coasts. First they put them in, then they take them out, and now this morning we hear they aren't out after all. We're getting shaken all about."
But lately, things have been a little more quiet from Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and the rest of the administration, which hasn't yet released a second version of the offshore drilling plan.
We're hoping to fill this quiet time with some noise, and we want Florida's congressional delegation to join us in making it. We need our delegation and other elected officials to weigh in with the Trump administration and the Department of Interior, urging them to cancel the offshore drilling expansion plan.
Environment Florida Research & Policy Center will have organizers out in coastal cities getting petitions signed, taking photo-petitions (photos of people holding signs, like Paulina and Bryan from Boynton Beach in the picture), talking with small business owners and getting them involved, generating media, and more.
We need to get to the point where all of Florida's delegation opposes expanded offshore drilling, not only off Florida's shores but anywhere in the United States. And we want them to be as vocal about it as we are. (For those elected officials who already are, thank you!)

Inspirational amputee surfer Llywelyn hailed as "brilliant ambassador" for the sport
Grabbing a surfboard and riding the waves was the key to recovery for Llywelyn Williams after he lost his leg in an accident.
Now the 26-year-old hopes to encourage more people of all abilities to give the sport a try, by organising the Welsh Adaptive Surfing Championships in July.
The event at Adventure Parc Snowdonia in Conwy promises plenty of thrills, spills and excitement, with competitors travelling from as far away as Hawaii, South Africa and California to take part.
The man-made lagoon on the former aluminium site in Dolgarrog became the world's first inland venue to host an adaptive surfing championship event in 2019. After a break during the pandemic, adaptive surf athletes around the globe are keen to see it return to North Wales.
The surfers will compete in nine different categories catering for a range of different abilities.
"Adventure Parc is the perfect venue for this competition" explained Llywelyn. "It has fantastic man-made waves that are consistent and reliable and it offers some great facilities for the athletes and the spectators, including good food and wheelchair-friendly accommodation pods."
Admission is free to watch the event and Llywelyn is hoping visitors will take advantage of the great views offered around the lagoon to get a closer look at the sport.
Llywelyn's passion for the sport began when he started surfing at the age of 12 at Porth Ceiriad and Porth Neigwl, near his home in Abersoch.
He showed promise and competed locally, but a few years later a road accident almost scuppered his dreams of surfing professionally.
While skateboarding home, he was hit by a car and suffered life-threatening injuries, including dislocating both hips, a head injury, broken femur, shattered pelvis, punctured lung, perforated bowel and a split liver.
Llywelyn spent several weeks at The Royal Liverpool Hospital where he was put into an induced coma.
Doctors desperately tried to save his leg but, two weeks after the accident, Llywelyn's family were told that the limb had become severely infected and would have to be amputated to save his life.
Against staggering odds, Llywelyn overcame his injuries. He accepted the loss of his leg but rejected the idea of losing hope.
Due to his tenacious spirit, he was back in the water less than a year after the accident.
"My mates carried me down the stairs," Llywelyn recalled.
"I had a body board and they would chuck me into the waves. I still had my old wetsuit then – with both legs – so one was flopping around in the water.
"As the first wave hit me and I came back up, I felt alive again and I felt 'wow! This is magical'. Surfing is the best.
"When I'm in the water on my surfboard, nothing else matters. It is a fantastic sport for people of all abilities."
Llywelyn discovered adaptive surfing and began competing again, this time in the kneeling category, winning gold at the English Adaptive Championships in 2018 and more recently representing Wales at the International Surfing Association World Adaptive Championships in California.
It was while competing there that he flew the flag for Adventure Parc Snowdonia as a suitable venue and sparked more interest in the surfing scene in Wales.
He is now busy organising what he hopes will be an inspiring and thrilling competition in at the adventure complex on July 1-2.
The main sponsor for the event is The Mailing Room, a Bury-based family company with an interest in adaptive surfing.
AmpSurf, an organisation set up to inspire and rehabilitate people with disabilities, and Llywelyn's family company, Hopalong Clothing, are also supporting the event.
Each of the surfers taking part in this year's championships have overcome significant personal challenges to compete at such a high level.
"Interest in adaptive surfing has grown so much," added Llywelyn.
"When I first entered the world championships in 2015, there were just 60 entries. Now it's closer to 100 and the standard is so high."
Adaptive surfing will feature in the 2028 Paralympics for the first time July's championship will include a number of hopeful contenders, including Llywelyn.
Adventure Parc Snowdonia managing director Andy Ainscough said: "Llywelyn is a great bloke and an even better athlete, his courage and determination to come back from what he has is admirable.
"On the biggest days at the beaches near Abersoch, Llywelyn is going for the biggest and scariest waves out there. He is a brilliant ambassador for the sport of surfing.
"We are really pleased to have the Adaptive Championship back on the Parc after the recent pandemic stopped it for two years and it's set to be a fantastic event for the competitors and spectators alike."
