New clients often ask if their personal injury case is likely to go to trial. They worry about long days on the witness stand and tough questions from the opposing attorney. Many times they worry about trial before their case even begins.
The vast majority of personal injury cases don't end up going to trial. Only a very small percentage of cases make it to opening statements. Most cases resolve because the parties are able to reach a settlement that they both agree on in order to resolve the case.
A case is more likely to go to trial if the parties can't agree on the basic facts. That is, if you don't agree on how you received your injuries or who acted negligently, it's more likely that you're going to need a jury to resolve the issue. When the parties generally agree on what happened in the case and how you got hurt, it becomes a simple question of deciding on fair compensation.
There are a few things that your personal injury lawyer can do to help you build your case and show the other side that they're responsible for your injuries. Many times, working to build a strong case helps the other side realize that you have a case that's likely to win at trial. When your lawyer is busy with depositions, interrogatories, subpoenas and other trial preparation, this work might actually help you stay out of court.
Discovery is a process that lets the parties gather information about the case in order to narrow the issues for trial. When all of the facts are out on the table, both sides can look at the reality of the case. The discovery process helps you and the other party form realistic expectations about the merits of your case. When it's fairly obvious that you have a strong case, and you're likely to succeed, the other side is often willing to pay you a fair amount.
When a case is in the small minority of cases that end up going to trial, there's usually something unique or unusual about the case that makes it end up in trial. Perhaps there are diverging opinions as to the cause of the injuries. Perhaps it's a close call as to whether the other side is responsible for your losses. Most of the time, a case doesn't end up going to trial unless there's a unique trait that makes it more questionable than most. Your personal injury attorneys can evaluate your case to see if it's one of the few that might end up in trial.
In many cases, it's up to you to decide if you want to take the case to trial. If you receive a settlement offer from the other side, you get to decide if you want to accept it. If you accept it, it becomes the judgment in the case, and the case ends. If you reject it, the case continues on to trial. Knowing that you have some say in the resolution of your case can take some of the stress out of wondering what's going to happen.
You might also take advantage of a process called mediation. Mediation is a process that many litigants use to resolve the case outside of the courtroom. A trained mediator leads the session. You and your personal injury lawyers attend as well as the other side and their lawyer. The mediator helps you talk about the case and brainstorm a resolution that works for both of you.
While it might seem impossible from your vantage point to resolve the case, the reality is that most cases find a way to resolve short of trial. Your attorney can work with you to reach the best possible resolution in your case. Focus on working with your attorney to build your case, and then you can work together to decide the best course of action.

Jason Jackson - Counterpoint
One day, you feel a stuttering of your heart, so you stop, hold your breath, and it goes quickly away. But it's enough.
That night, you don't sleep. You lie awake, and the ceiling is a cracked map of the past. You watch time as it ticks from the clock, filling the room with itself, and you can't breathe, so you try to feel your heart, the beating of it, but there's nothing.
The next day, you go to the doctor's—an emergency, you say, sweating on the phone—and you wait on a plastic chair next to a slot on the wall where people post their sample bottles, until the receptionist calls your name.
The doctor is a fat man who doesn't look at you, but he listens as you tell him your heart beats too fast sometimes, that at other times it doesn't beat at all, and he tells you to unbutton your shirt. The stethoscope sticks to the cold sweat and the hairs on your chest, and the brush of the fat doctor's thumb just below your nipple is your first human contact for weeks.
He tells you there seems to be nothing wrong, but that it's always good to get these things checked out, so he makes an appointment at the hospital. You thank him as you stand up, and you walk out of the room, out of the surgery, into the cold of February. You sit down on a wall where there is still some snowmelt, and you cry.
That night, you get drunk. There's the old postcard on your wall of a middle-aged couple waltzing in what seems to be a motel room in the fifties, and you're dancing around the room like them, arms held exactly as if you were holding the woman. The silence makes music in your head, and your heart has a rhythm like the hooves of a horse. You dance like this, with the lights off and your slippers on, until the music fades and you stand in the middle of the room, suddenly ridiculous.
Weeks later, and the hospital waiting room is full of old people trying to smile. There are fish in a tank, all the colours you have ever seen in your life, purple on yellow, red with green. The sunlight through the blinds casts diagonals across the glass. You wait, and you don't mind waiting, until finally a tall woman wearing jeans under her white coat comes out and says your name.
As she connects you to a machine she tells you that she needs to take some readings, and that Doctor Prentice will take a good look at you to make sure everything is fine. It's like being a child again, and as you listen to the click and the whirr of the machine, you look at the discs taped to your chest and you imagine yourself in a film. There will be spaceships and monsters and a beautiful alien woman—she might be green, and then turn blue when she falls in love with you—and thinking about this, you sleep, briefly, because these weeks have been long, these weeks have been heavy.
The doctor is young. He's wearing an open-necked shirt and he taps a pen against his desk as he reads the printout. There's something wrong, he says. Not a big thing, but something. He wants to monitor you for a couple of weeks, and to do that he'll need to strap a yellow box to your chest.
He shows you the box. It looks like the small midsection of a child's metal truck, with its smooth lines and black lettering. There are wires coming off either side, and the doctor gives you some adhesive discs. He shows you how to attach the discs to your chest, above and below your heart, and then he secures the wires. The box has a black strap built into it, and the doctor pulls it tight around your torso. He does all of this slowly and calmly and you nod at him, showing willing, but you cannot speak. There's a button on the top of the box to press whenever you have what he calls—in a soft, pleasant voice--an episode. He sits behind his desk again, and it's only then that you can get up, thank him, assure him you understand. You must bring the box back in two weeks, he says, and the results will be ready in a month.
You speak to the nurse outside about another appointment. Before you leave, you watch the fish for a while, but the colours seem less vibrant now the sunlight through the window has faded.
That night is the first for you and the box, and you wait to feel something, but your heart beats with the beat of a thing that has been beating that way for a thousand years and will continue to beat that way for a thousand more.
You cook salmon, open a bottle of cheap white wine, and after you've eaten—after you've washed the dishes, the pan, the knife and the fork—you go to the mirror in the bedroom, take off your shirt, and you look at your reflection. You take off your trousers, your socks, your boxers too, and you stand naked in the shadow cast by the lamplight.
As you walk from bedroom to living room, you feel the weight of the box, like responsibility, like hope, like love. You lift your arms and you hold them out as you begin to waltz. It's a dance you only know from the postcard, but you've been dancing it for years. You look at the man holding tightly onto the woman in the blue dress, imagining yourself pulling her close, and it's only then you feel the heartbeat coming from the box, its rhythm a counterpoint to your own.

A lot can be learned about soil health by watching water infiltration, explains Pete Bauman, SDSU Extension Range Field Specialist.
"Water infiltration varies depending on organic matter, erosion, compaction, soil fertility, carbon sequestration etcetera – all these important factors determine whether or not a field or pasture is healthy or in need of repair," Bauman explained.
South Dakotans can see for themselves during the daily Rainfall Simulator presentations held at 2015 Dakotafest Aug. 18-20, near Mitchell, South Dakota, in the SDSU Extension Pavilion at 9:30 a.m.
The simulation is co-hosted by SDSU Extension and South Dakota Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
The rainfall simulator was developed by NRCS and is a live demonstration that 'simulates' real rainfall events to test water infiltration in several different soil management situations including: conventional tilled cropland, no-till cropland, no-till cropland with cover crops, poorly managed rangeland and healthy rangeland. "NRCS staffers Jeff Hemenway and Stan Boltz have been doing this presentation for a long time, and SDSU Extension is fortunate to partner with NRCS for this forum," Bauman said. "It's our job to provide South Dakota farmers and ranchers with research-based information that they can apply to improve their operations – this simulator is a great tool to provide a first-hand look at the best soil management techniques for cropland as well as grazing lands."
He added that many Dakotafest attendees have operations with both crops and livestock – basically most wear two hats. "They wear their cowboy hat taking care of livestock and put on the baseball cap when they farm," Bauman said. "When we discuss soil management, people frequently assume it only impacts cropland, but the fact is, there is a lot that can be done to improve rangeland productivity – this presentation will address both."
During the demonstrations, time will be set aside for attendees to ask Bauman as well as the NRCS representatives, Jeff Hemenway and Stan Boltz, questions. Bauman will also be available to discuss pasture-related topics, such as estimating forage production, managing plant communities, dung beetle management, prescribed fire and other issues.

DD: DuPont Still Below Downtrend Line But Looks Promising
URBN: Urban Outfitters Getting Ready to Breakout
HCA: HCA Holdings, Bottom finally in Place?
Buckle Inc (NYSE: BKE)
The Buckle, Inc. operates as a retailer of casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for young men and women in the United States. It markets a selection of brand name casual apparel, including denims, other casual bottoms, tops, sportswear, outerwear, accessories, and footwear. The company operates stores under the Buckle and The Buckle names. The Buckle, Inc. also sells its products through its Website, buckle.com. As of March 24, 2015, it operated 462 retail stores in 44 states.
Take a look at the 1-year chart of Buckle (NYSE: BKE) below with my added notations:
BKE's trend has been very simply a down one. However, over the past few months the stock has created a key level of resistance at $28 (green), which you can see was a key support back in November and December. A break above that $28 level should mean higher prices for the stock, and last week BKE finally broke that resistance.
The Tale of the Tape: BKE broke through its key level of resistance at $28. A long trade could be entered on a pull back down to that level. However, a break back below $28 could negate the forecast for a higher move and would be an opportunity to get short the stock.
Stocks Retesting the January Lows
North American markets found support in mid-January after three weeks of sharp declines. However, after a brief rebound, those key support levels are expected to be retested again in February.
The S&P 500 has bounced off of the 1860-1875 range three times in the last 6 months.
Now that the rebound rally has stalled and rolled-over, the index is expected to retest the support range again over the next week or two.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average bounced off of the 15,500-15,750 range in January, as it did last August.
With the recent roll-over, the Dow is now expected to pullback to those levels over the next few weeks.
NASDAQ has also rebounded from a previous low (4,292 in August) last month. We anticipate the index will retest the 4,300-4,400 band over the next few weeks.
For the TSX, the mid-term trend still remains down. The index has posted a series of lower lows and lower highs over the last 8 months.
The most recent trough in January, produced a short-term bounce that has now stalled and rolled-over.
We believe the Canadian index will retest the 11,900-12,000 zone again in the next few weeks.
Bottom line: The U.S. markets are expected to retest significant support levels over the next 1 to 2 weeks.
The TSX should also find underpinning at the mid-January support level.
Note: Should the indexes break these key support levels, the projected outlook would be another 8% decline below the key support levels.

Yu X., 2018, Design and Implementation of Special Chemical Management System Based on XML Encryption Principle, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 71, 553-558.
A reasonable and effective special chemical management system can not only facilitate the application and use of chemicals by enterprises, but also facilitate the supervision of regulatory departments, and it can prevent special chemicals from flowing into illegal channels. In this paper, the design and implementation of special chemical management system is studied. A special chemical management system based on distributed workflow is designed. Symmetry and asymmetry XML encryption algorithms are combined together to ensure the information security of the system. This paper takes the special chemical management purchase process as an example to perform example analysis, and the study finally realizes the design of special chemical management purchase process, distributed circulation file and circulation file encryption based on XML encryption principle. The XML document encryption strategy proposed in this study can effectively ensure the safety of information related to special chemicals, and has certain practical application value.

In GP2013, RW_GetInternetText function is changed to support getting email addresses (to, cc and bcc fields in Internet Info Window) through optional parameter IN_field. Even though this parameter is optional, however for some reason after upgrade the RW_GetInternetText starting throwing error message. Therefore, I passed 0 value for parameter IN_field to fix this issue.
