The best videographer and courtroom exhibit expert. Mark is just a tremendous asset for any trial lawyer and a great guy to boot! I use Mark in just about every trial and he hasn't said "no" to a last minute work project yet. If you give Mark a shot on one of your cases, you won't regret it.
Simply the best webmaster for lawyers on the planet! If you want to get serious about internet marketing, you can do no better than Tom Foster and his great team.
Ben Glass, Esq. is the AUTHORITY on marketing and law office systems and office management. Ben has had a HUGE impact on my professional development (and truth be told, my life) and I know he can do the same for you.

Legal Intake Professionals has a team of professionals who will answer the new case calls for you and patch the new calls through to your office if the case has merit.

Simply the best case management software for a litigation law firm! Check out the competition and you'll find there's plenty of case management software companies, but none like Trialworks for a litigation lawyer. Save yourself some time, just hire Trialworks.
Why it's done this way: Let's face it, you can't do this alone. You need a team. Through trial and error, I've created a tremendous team. You can feel free to contact any of members of my team to find out what they can do for you.

If you've ever dreamed of operating the best law firm, Ben will give you the blueprint and teach you how to get home in time for dinner with your family. I don't listen to anyone else—Ben is that good.
InfusionCon: There is no better small business marketing machine than Infusionsoft based in Chandler, Arizona. Infusionsoft is a world-class small business marketing company that gives an annual convention known as "InfusionCon". The enthusiasm and spirit of those attending InfusionCon is off the charts.
Look, it doesn't hurt that the InfusionCon conventions are held in sunny Arizona in the late winter. So, just go and be amazed at the outside the box marketing and self-improvement skills you get from the leaders of InfusionCon.
Dan Kennedy: There is no marketing expert in the country that can hold a candle to Dan Kennedy. Read all of Dan's books—there is no better place to start.
If all you did was read Dan's books, you'd be just fine. The "No BS" series of books is chockfull of practical advice for anyone running a small business or law firm.
Why it's done this way: If you simply earn money for me and nothing else, I haven't done justice for you. My goal is to make you a better person through self-improvement seminars and workshops that are designed to not just make you a better employee, but a more committed and dedicated spouse and parent.
What is the greatest skill a person can have? Is it the ability to dissect a hostile witness during cross-examination? No! Reading great works of literature is easily the most important skill that a lawyer or non-lawyer can have. But we're all too busy to read, right?
This is my Top-9 list of the books that should be at the very top of your "to read" list. These books are classic reads on the topic of self-improvement. Do yourself a big favor, read at least ten pages a day. It won't take long, and your life will be changed immeasurably.
In his incredible book, The Slight Edge, Jeff Olson explains why 95% fail miserably to accomplish their goals in left and live quietly in a life of quiet desperation. Only one out of twenty persons will achieve their goals in life, but why?
Jeff Olson's formula for success: a few simple disciplines, repeated every day. As Olson writes, "it's simple to do, and simple not to do", but the compounded effect of simple disciplines taken every day will transform your life. But you will not see the results of your actions immediately. Success doesn't come overnight; it takes a lot of time and hard work.
Do one thing before you read on: buy The Slight Edge. This book has the power to change your life!
Ever wonder why over 80% of franchised businesses succeed while roughly 95% of non-franchise businesses fail? Franchise businesses, like McDonald's, have systems for every aspect of their business, while other businesses have no systems. Having systems for running a law firm is the secret to running a successful business.
I wrote this book with exactly that goal mind. I wanted to create systems that control every aspect of a personal injury law firm—not just for New York lawyers, but any lawyer with an injury law firm.
So, what are the "rules of the game" for your law firm? Today, you should create very specific rules for your law firm, just like this one, that govern every activity in your law firm from answering phones to requesting medical records.
The biggest flaw of almost every lawyer: getting caught doing the barrage of new things that get thrown at them every day. When you are simply reacting to new stuff, it's impossible to be productive.
But we all know that 20% of our cases bring 80% of our income (a/k/a the "Pareto Principle"). So, why do we ignore our best cases that will make most of our money? As Stephen R. Covey says, "effective management is putting first things first." Putting first things first puts your "A" cases at the top of your to-do list and focuses on work that will sustain your law practice with business development and marketing.
Ask yourself, "What one thing could you do in your personal and professional life that, if you did on a regular basis, would make a tremendous positive difference in your life?" Now, try to focus your time only on this activity.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Book is a must-read for anyone serious about self-improvement and should be read over and over again.
As the author says, "winning is only possible with massive actions." It's simply not enough to have big dreams without massive action. Losers talk about grand dreams and plans, while winners just take action and make stuff happen without the fear of failure.
Massive action, more than anything else, separates the winners from the losers. Grant Cardone's philosophy of taking ten times more action than your competitors, without the fear of failure or criticism from your peers, is a formula for success.
Ever wonder what makes great leaders and profitable companies? Jim Collins answers this question with the "Hedgehog Concept" in Good to Great. The "Hedgehogs" are the leaders and companies that stick to three guiding principles: they find out what you do better than anyone else, what they are deeply passionate about and what drives their "economic engine" (i.e., profit).
Can your law firm success in a dire economy for lawyers? Guess which company in the S&P 500 had the highest rate of return for investors between 1970 and 2001? This company just happens to be in the worst possible industry imaginable. Yes, Southwest Airlines thrived in an industry that was beset by bankruptcies and failed mergers. If Southwest Airlines can thrive in the worst industry, there's nothing stopping you as a lawyer from doing the same in a business overflowing with competitors.
How to Stop Worrying and Start Living is a life-changer for anyone lucky enough to read this amazing book.
About ninety percent of the things in our life are good and only ten percent are bad. In Dale Carnegie's immortal words "if you want to be happy, all we have to do is concentrate on the ninety percent that are right and ignore the ten percent that are wrong." Dale Carnegie's book is chock-full of interesting and real-life examples of persons who overcame enormous obstacles involving severe injury and financial failure by refusing to focus on the negative and instead, giving thanks for the blessings in their lives.
If Donald Trump has five administrative assistants, shouldn't you have at least one? You don't have to recreate the wheel to have a successful life—roadmaps from the ultra-successful are everywhere. Just start reading ten pages a day of a success book and you will be amazed at the long-term impact on you personally and professionally.
Just read any book written by Dan Kennedy, but if you could only read one, read this. Most business owners want to be well-liked among their employees. Big mistake! Just like Bill Parcells, the hall of fame football coach who was disliked by most of his players, your only goal is to get results and make money.
As Dan says, "if you occasionally accept occasional unacceptable behavior, it's only a matter of time before you're be routinely accepting routine unacceptable behavior." You have to be ruthless in enforcing the highly specific standards and systems that you set for your law firm. Otherwise, the inmates will be running the asylum.
The "NO BS" series is must reading. If you read one of Dan's books, you won't stop until you're finished.
In law school, you were taught concepts that show you how to do the technical aspects of the law. But the theory of the law is just a small part of the practice of law. Far more important is your ability to interact with others and see things from their point of view.
But it's a common mistake to think that Dale Carnegie is all about public speaking. Yes, part of Dale Carnegie training is public speaking, but it's really developing the courage to break through your comfort zones and doing things that you never dreamed possible. If you take action and implement Dale Carnegie's principles, your life will be profoundly changed.
No book has had a bigger influence on my life than Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. This timeless classic should be must reading in every college in America and training through Dale Carnegie should be offered free for its employees by every company. If you are serious about the personal growth and development of your employees, you should offer Dale Carnegie training to your employees as part of their compensation package.
Now, for the first time ever, this book exists. The Power of a System: How to Build the Injury Law Practice of your Dreams is crammed full of 328 pages of cutting-edge, "you've never heard this before", inside secrets about law office systems, management and practice and for only $26.99 it can be your's.

Synagoga w Mielcu – nieistniejąca synagoga, która była zlokalizowana w Mielcu na rogu ulicy Joachima Lelewela.

Synagoga została zbudowana w XIX wieku na miejscu starej, drewnianej synagogi. 13 września 1939 roku, została spalona przez hitlerowców, co było jednym z ich pierwszych kroków po wejściu do Mielca. Zamknęli w środku kilkudziesięciu Żydów i spalili ich wraz z budynkiem. Po zakończeniu wojny synagoga nie została odbudowana.

Na miejscu, gdzie stała synagoga, wystawiono pomnik z tabliczką o treści: "W tym miejscu we wrześniu 1939 r. hitlerowcy spalili żywcem w synagodze kilkadziesiąt osób narodowości żydowskiej. Niech ofiara ich męki pozostanie w pamięci".

"Booker T. & The MG's"
Booker T and the MGs. Booker T Jones, born on Dec. 11, 1944, in Memphis, multi-instrumentalist, primarily key-board, and the Memphis Group — Steve Cropper (born Oct. 21, 1941) guitar, originally Louis Steinberg on bass, later re-placed by Donald 'Duck' Dunn (born Nov. 24, 1941), Al Jackson (born Nov. 17, 1945) drums — were for ten years the nucleus of the houseband for Stax records — the corner-stone of the company, its sound, and its success.
Originally the rhythm section of the Mar-Keys, the four men were recorded at an impromptu session minus horns, resulting in 'Green Onions', a bluesy organ riff slashed through by Cropper's razor-sharp tones, riding on a simple but persuasive bass and drum line. Issued on the new sub-sidiary Volt, it was transferred to the parent Stax label and distributed by Atlantic to a million sales in August, 1962. Much tighter than the average small R&B combo, their eco-nomic and expressive interplay of ideas was effective on moody, small-hours blues or hard-driving dance tunes, dis-played in over a dozen albums and twenty more singles, in-cluding 'Bootleg' (1965), 'Hip Hug-Her', `Groovin" (1967), `Soul Limbo' (1968), and 'Time Is Tight' (1969) from their soundtrack to the film 'Uptight'. Even more impressive was their contribution to virtually every hit created in the Stax studios in the Sixties.
They backed not only the company's own stars, but also provided other Atlantic artists with the most consistently successful answer to the Motown Sound. In 1971, tired of the pressures in a company which had long outgrown its intimate beginnings, Booker T escaped to a new career with his wife, Priscilla Coolidge, on the West Coast; Dunn stayed on in Memphis; Cropper has become a roving writer /producer and sessionman. Jackson remained a leading session drummer until his death in 1975.

Emergency Managers, Flint, GOPocrisy, Michigan Republicans, Republican-Fail, Rick Snyder	— March 11, 2016 at 8:31 am
Multi-millionaire Gov. Rick Snyder puts Michigan taxpayers on the hook for his personal #FlintWaterCrisis legal bills
NOTE: This post has been updated HERE.
As I wrote about earlier this week, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Attorney General Bill Schuette are asking the taxpayer of our state to foot the bills for their legal bills related to defending Snyder from the lawsuits filed against him for his response to the poisoning of Flint's drinking water with the powerful, odorless, tasteless, invisible neurotoxin lead. Yesterday, the contract Snyder signed with the law firm Warner Norcross & Judd was released:
Gov. Rick Snyder has agreed to pay a Grand Rapids law firm up to $800,000 in taxpayer dollars for advice and representation related to "any criminal investigations and prosecutions and related claims" resulting from the Flint drinking water crisis, according to an engagement letter obtained Thursday by the Free Press.
The letter and contract with Warner Norcross & Judd make no mention of searching, reviewing and processing e-mails and other records, which is how Snyder's office had described the contract's purpose. Snyder spokesman Ari Adler said March 3 that criminal defense attorney Brian Lennon of Warner Norcross had been hired in an investigatory role to perform those functions related to processing records. […]
Taxpayers have expressed outrage at the $1.2-million cost of Snyder's outside legal representation, when a second contract, worth up to $400,000 with a firm providing representation in civil cases, is included. The contracts are in addition to legal representation Snyder is receiving through the office of Attorney General Bill Schuette.
Rick Snyder is purported to be worth $200,000,000. So, this multi-millionaire wants the taxpayers of Michigan to pay for his legal costs for actions he personally took. In fact, the very people suing him are among those paying for his legal bills.
Michigan Democratic Party Chair Brandon Dillon was among those who find this outrageous and ties it to the release of yet another batch of heavily-redacted emails yesterday:
The audacity of the Snyder administration has reached a disgraceful new level.
Not only did Snyder lie about why he was hiring a criminal defense team, but the heavily redacted emails he released today are all the evidence we need of the truth. He's paying a high-priced law firm – with money that belongs to the people of Michigan – to protect him from the truth of his role in the Flint water crisis, clearly contained within the documents he's releasing. Judging by how much information was removed, it's obvious he's getting his taxpayer dollars' worth.
It's shameful that this governor would go to such lengths to hide the truth from the public, but it's absolutely criminal that he would lie and use the public's money to pay for it.
Not only are his newly-hired PR people and attorneys helping him avoid personal scrutiny, as I reported on Tuesday they have crafted a new way to talk about Emergency Managers without actually using the phrase "Emergency Managers", a title that is now synonymous with the failure of state takeovers of schools and municipalities and the concept of "running government like a business". They are now calling them "CEOs".
Gov. Snyder has more money than nearly every other Michigander. Only 4.4% of our residents are millionaires and he is a MULTI-millionaire. The reasons for him being sued are related to HIS mistakes, HIS poor judgment, and HIS failed policies. Asking taxpayers to pay for those lawsuits is beyond the pale and yet here we are, footing the bill for his lawyers.
It's just one more scandal in a very long line of Snyder scandals, aided and abetted by his Republican colleagues. Don't forget that in November.

Bolt the door, granny, before they grab your spare room
What a drag it is getting old, as the Rolling Stones sang long ago. Getting old in Britain today means fear for most people — fear of terrible treatment in hospitals and care homes, fear of rising bills, fear of having pensions driven down by high charges and fear of seeing any savings eroded by inflation and negligible interest rates. Old people are openly described as bed-blockers, a growing public nuisance.
Now, as of last Wednesday, the elderly are being described as "bedroom-blockers" in their own homes. They are "house-hoarders", practically spivs.
These nasty ideas were put forward last week by an obscure leftie charity called the Intergenerational Foundation, which launched a report in the House of Commons, sponsored by Tessa Jowell. It argued that people in their sixties whose children have left home are taking up too much room: their children's empty bedrooms (and their own) ought to be freed up for young families. These sad old bedroom-blockers should be "nudged" or taxed into "downsizing" to something much smaller and more suitable to their advanced years.
Incredible though it sounds, people over 60 now stand directly accused of wasting space in the houses they own. Wasting space. It doesn't seem much of a leap of the fearful imagination from wasting space to being a waste of space. The message is getting clearer: as King Lear said bitterly, age is unnecessary. His daughters wanted to make him downsize, too. They bullied him to cut back his retinue of knights and servants to almost nothing. "What need one?" says the heartless Regan. "O, reason not the need!" cries out Lear.
I was reminded of Regan by Jowell last week, but in fact she has been misrepresented in the media. She did not fully endorse the report; nor does she think pressure should be put on old people to leave their homes, although she does welcome debate about housing. All the same, the viperish spirit of Regan and Goneril is evident in the Intergenerational Foundation. Who is it — or anyone — to tell homeowners what they "need" and to suggest that by "clinging" to their homes they are contributing selfishly to the housing crisis and causing profound social problems?
The Intergenerational Foundation exists supposedly to "promote fairness between generations" but it looks to me as though it is, willy-nilly, promoting resentment between the generations in an egalitarian and punishing spirit. One can almost hear the rattle of far-off tumbrils. I was reminded, too, of Omar Sharif in the film of Dr Zhivago, coming back to his huge house after the Russian revolution to find it had been filled with strangers, by government order: he was then forced by an official to pretend that he was delighted. Several commentators have suggested that this country is now in a pre-revolutionary mood, given the anger and fear so widely felt about the likelihood of a double-dip recession. Certainly the generation wars seem to be gathering force.
Perhaps even the most modest of elderly homeowners will find they are now enemies of the peopleEveryone agrees it is frighteningly difficult for young people to find somewhere affordable to live. Rents have rocketed and buying a property is becoming impossible for most young people. Bedroom-blockers are all too aware of it — these young people are hgh helpful for low thyroid their sons and daughters and grandchildren. But it is not the fault of the over–60s. It is just as hateful to blame older people for the housing crisis as it is to blame them for getting old. They are innocent: they didn't wish for it either. They did not cause the property crisis and the shocking rise in house rental prices. It was caused by stupid and irresponsible government policies over many decades. Now it seems that baby boomers are to be monstered and punished for crimes they did not commit.
Of the many explanations for the housing crisis, the most obvious is the criminal failure of many succeeding governments to build houses, particularly affordable family houses and flats. Shortage breeds high prices. Less often mentioned is the disgraceful failure of the Labour government (and earlier governments) to control immigration, so that several million more people need housing than in 1997.
Another explanation is the willingness over many years of local authorities to give young people subsidised single-person accommodation, particularly single mothers, thus hugely inflating demand. Yet another has been the general failure to sell valuable social housing in prime locations to create much more social housing elsewhere. All this — along with other bad policies and incompetent government — has put extreme pressure on ordinary young families with jobs and children. The answer, however, is not to be mean to granny and grandpa.
An Englishman's home … or rather, since clichés must move with the times, a British person's home has traditionally been his or her castle: when the drawbridge is up, the occupants are supposedly free from the attentions of nosy parkers and interventionists. But it hasn't been so for years. Few of us perhaps know that since 2003 there has been a government "bedroom standard". Under its calculations a dwelling is deemed officially underoccupied if it has at least two bedrooms more than it "requires". This would mean there are about 18m "surplus" bedrooms here at the moment.
How the blood pressure rises. It may be necessary to make such measurements in public or subsidised housing, but to suggest that arbitrary notions of "requirement" and "surplus" should be applied by anyone — least of all government — to privately owned houses and flats strikes me as apparatchik speak of the more aggressively socialist sort.
Those surplus rooms may be used for all kinds of good purposes, such as havens for friends and family. Even if they are used for bad purposes — meetings of hellfire clubs or groups devoted to sticking pins into Gordon Brown — it is an outrage for the government or any freedom-loving analyst to suggest it is anyone else's business why anyone wants "surplus" rooms or what they use them for.
Nor is it any of their business what prudent financial reasons older people may have for "clinging" on to their family homes, such as hedging against an uncertain future. Government and sensible theorists should turn their attention instead to providing lots of new housing and thus bringing prices down fast at the same time.
Hard times make for hard feelings. Perhaps the noise of the tumbrils really is getting louder and even the most modest of elderly homeowners will find they are enemies of the people. What a drag it is growing old.


"that the details aren't trivial. They are the attachments of care, sewing buttons to close coats around a warmth for when another person can't. Wurtz's more homely space is all about knots tied, and buttons threaded, plastic bags hung to dry. They're dumb objects rescued by so much care like a responsibility shown for them."

How effective are strategies to counter violent extremism?
The Australian Government has just announced that more than $22 million will be spent on battling the radicalisation of young Muslims in Australia. But just how effective are these counter-terrorism programs? Critics of the Federal Government's Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) strategy have highlighted problems that have emerged after nine years of CVE community engagement and intervention.

Alaska Gasline Development receives FERC approval
The Alaska Gasline Development Corp. said this morning that it has received authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to construct and operate the Alaska LNG project.
"Today's federal authorization is a key step in determining if Alaska LNG is competitive and economically beneficial for Alaska," Gov. Mike Dunleavy said.
"The ongoing project economic review and discussion with potential partners will determine the next steps for this project," he said.
AGDC President Frank Richards said: "FERC's authorization validates that the Alaska LNG Project can be safely built and operated, delivering numerous potential benefits with manageable environmental impacts."
"Obtaining FERC approval significantly de-risks the project execution with defined environmental stipulations," he said. "Our momentum continues as we complete our assessment of the project's economics and competitiveness, and engage with potential project partners to determine the best path forward for the Alaska LNG project."

Bringing ownership back to Alaska
Majid Jourabchi, president of Thyssen Petroleum USA, addressed reports that he was part of a team attempting to buy majority ownership in the North Slope Mustang oil development from investors in Caracol Petroleum, as well as restart shut-in oil production later in the year. In mid-2014 Thyssen and two other firms acquired BRPC and a package of North Slope properties from Alaska Venture Capital Group and Ramshorn Investments Inc. for $450 million.
"We're trying to bring ownership back to the North Slope," Jourabchi told Petroleum News in a May 21 email. "Anything else is not very accurate. As a start I am not a director of Alpha Energy, but we are trying to simplify the ownership and to refocus the operations."
The Mustang development loan was once again the subject of an executive session at a board meeting of the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority on May 20. As expected, no resolution to the delinquent status of the loan came from that meeting.
Part of the problem was likely because Caracol, the field's majority owner, is owned by Singapore-based Alpha Energy Holdings Ltd., which under the latest agreement with AIDEA was to invest $60 million in Mustang in the first quarter of this year and advance at least $15 million to Caracol in the form of equity or a senior secured loan.
Karsten Rodvik, AIDEA's external affairs officer, told Petroleum News May 15 that Alpha has not met those commitments.
The field went online in November but went offline in December and has remained so. Some of the challenges at Mustang cannot be laid at the feet of its operator, such as the state oil tax credits veto several years ago (under the Walker administration).
"Current volatility in the oil markets has created additional issues for the Mustang project," Rodvik said. "AIDEA is currently reviewing its alternatives as a creditor to the project."

The mission for Children's ministry at Green Hill is based on Jesus' words in Mark 10:14-15, "Let the little children come unto me, do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child does not enter it." Also, Proverbs 22:6, which states, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." To this end we will teach our children: to know and love God, to talk daily with God, to honor and respect others, and to share the love of Christ with others. The children's ministry is committed to providing an environment where every child can grow spiritually, emotionally, socially, and intellectually in God's love.

28 Year old Australian Paralympian Jessica Smith has a great story to tell. Not only has she had remarkable achievements in her sporting career, but through some pretty dark times as a young woman, she has emerged to use all those experiences as fuel to create an import body revolution.
Jessica was born with her left forearm missing, and as a toddler suffered third degree burns to 14% of her body in a horrific incident. Not exactly the easiest start to life. She grew up constantly battling body image issues, surrounded by a world which placed too much emphasis on the way you look. She is not alone in that respect, many of us Gen Y and Gen X girls have been bombarded with the notion of physical beauty being the key to any form of success from a young age thanks to the media, fashion and advertising we consume.
Jessica eventually found her release in the swimming pool and turned her talent into a decade long career which saw her competing at the Paralympics. She officially retired from professional swimming in 2007, but her athletic career gave her the big platform she needed to spread a very important message to other young women about self esteem and body image.
During the 2004 Athens Olympics her performance in the pool was dismal, mostly because she had suffered from eating disorders which didn't allow her body to be up to its physical peak like the other athletes. It was a wake up call for her, who has admitted to not eating for days, convincing friends and family it was part of her strict diet for training. She would often punish herself by running for miles and miles, thinking it was the only way she would reach perfection.
After a 6 week hospital stint following the Athens Paralympics, she knew she had to make a change, or seriously damage her body and put her life in jeopardy.
Smith is now based in Perth and today spends her time as a motivational public speaker and started Join The Revolution, which is a campaign dedicated to raising awareness of positive body image through social media. Part of her work is speaking to high school students about her experience and helping them tackle certain issues when it comes to Eating Disorders. This is an important work that more and more people need to do.
When we interviewed 18 year-old Cami Julaine last year who took a year off high school to be in treatment for various eating disorders, she spoke about how there is a lot of misinformation out there and educating people about ED's is much needed, for both the victims and their loved ones.
Jessica echoes the same sentiments, especially when it comes to the long term effects both physically as well as mentally. All the self-inflicted abuse she did to her body has resulted in expensive dentist bills, digestive problems and constantly low electrolytes.
"I'll be in recovery for the rest of my life and the issue with eating disorders is that it is not taken seriously," she says.
Her experience in the professional sporting world has opened her eyes to the immense pressure on both men and women to look a certain way, which in itself can easily lead to an eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia.
"Eating disorders are rife in the sporting world, due to pressures to have the perfect physique. It's not just girls but also guys who have to deal with the issue," she said.
So far her work has been recognized by the Australian public who voted her as an 'Emerging Leader' in the 2013 Positive Body Image Awards.
For all the heartache and pain she suffered, it wasn't all in vain, and Smith is probably one of the best types of advocates a young woman can look up to if they have an eating disorder. She hopes her experiences will be enough to show these young men and women not to make the same mistakes as she did and live a healthy life.
No matter what horrible experiences we go through in life, we eventually have the ability to step back and make a choice, whether responsible or irresponsible. The responsible side of it is to use what we learned and to pay it forward to help others in need. Then none of it will be in vain. The irresponsible way would be to wallow in self pity and forever be comparing ourselves to others in a cheap attempt at perfection.


Investigators continue to pursue leads in the shooting death of Richmond High School senior Antwone Carpenter early Tuesday morning.
RICHMOND, Ind. — Investigators have identified a person of interest in the shooting death of a Richmond High School senior this week.
Antwone Carpenter was found by officers shortly after midnight Tuesday in the yard in front of the Northwood apartments on the city's north side with gunshot wounds to his abdomen.
Carpenter was rushed to Reid Health before being flown to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, where he died a few hours later.
Police officers were on the scene for hours that morning, collecting evidence and speaking with witnesses. That work continues, according to Richmond Police Department Capt. Kevin Wampler.
"It's a very active investigation. We are pursuing leads at this point," he said Wednesday afternoon.
Wampler confirmed a person of interest has been identified in the case but didn't name the subject.
He also said it's too early in the investigation to talk about a possible motive for the shooting.
"Until we get all of our players spoken to, at this point, that would be nothing more than speculation," Wampler said.
Officers from RPD, the Wayne County Sheriff's Office and the Indiana State Police — as well as a Centerville police officer — responded to a call of multiple shots fired at about 12:15 a.m. Tuesday.
Upon arrival, they found Carpenter with at least two gunshot wounds to the abdomen, with at least one person applying pressure to the wounds to slow the bleeding.
Officers conducted several interviews with potential witnesses at the scene and took others to another location. Wampler said Wednesday that the witnesses "for the most part" have been cooperative with investigators.
Carpenter was one of two RHS students who died over the Memorial Day weekend, the other being freshman Diante C. Taylor, 15, who drowned at a popular New Paris, Ohio, swimming spot Monday afternoon.

Yorkshire Cancer Research has funded a research study called the Leeds Lung Health Check. We hope the study will show that Lung Health Checks improve lung health.
The Lung Health Checks include screening scans for lung cancer, as well as other types of lung disease including COPD. Screening is available in some countries like the USA and Canada but is not yet widely available in the UK. The committee that decides on screening in the UK is considering Lung Cancer Screening currently, and it maybe that this is rolled out across the UK in future.
You may receive an invitation from your GP inviting you for a Lung Health Check. Invitations are being sent through the post throughout 2018 - 2020.
Will everyone in the Leeds area get invited?
Not everyone will be invited for a Lung Health Check though the study team will look at what happens to the lung health of people who are invited, compared with a control group of people who are not invited. The control group will also include people aged 55 to 80 who are current or former smokers. The study will follow both groups throughout their lifetime.
What are the reasons that I may not be involved?
There are several reasons you may not have been invited for a Lung Health Check. It could be because your postcode area is not part of the programme. You may be in the control group who will not receive an invitation. Or you may not have received your invitation yet, and you will get one in the future.
I've heard data collection is used in this study - can I opt out?
The study team will collect data from GP and hospital records to measure how effective the Lung Health Checks are in improving lung health. This will involve collecting information from people invited, and those in the control group. Your information may be used by the study team without them contacting you, either if you are in the control group, or if you did not reply to your invitation. If you do not want your information to be used in this study, you can opt out by phoning 0113 343 3623. You can also e-mail leedslunghealthcheck@nhs.net or write to "Leeds Lung Health Check, Leeds Chest Clinic, Leeds General Infirmary, LS1 3EX". Opting out will not stop you being invited for other NHS screening services.
Thank you for finding out more about the Leeds Lung Health Check. Here are some more ways you can look after the health of your lungs.

The Magic Hat Prevails: Pontus Jansson wins our September Reader's Choice Player of the Month award
Probably by the largest margin we'll ever see in this poll, Pontus Jansson has the best debut month we could've hoped for.

A few months ago, he was in Torino. Now, he's in the hearts of Leeds faithful around the world.

I think it's safe to say Leeds has found a new love story.
Our staff debated the September Player of the Month award at the Through It All Together offices before we posted the online reader poll. We actually had five names we considered, but Twitter forced us to narrow it to four, and our staff was actually pretty split. You'll see the evidence of that when we post our winner on Friday, but we definitely didn't expect the extreme results we saw in the September POTM Reader poll, so we're calling it early.
Your winner, ladies and gentlemen, is our Swedish centreback, Pontus Jansson.
Yes, we're calling it before the polls have officially closed, because that margin is ridiculous. We could've called it after 30 minutes, but we wanted to see if the percentages held, and they really have. 86% of 600+ votes is incredible. You really, really love your Pontus Jansson.
Our man with the magic hat, if you haven't heard the song, would head back a brick if you threw it at him. Jansson immediately brought stability and passion to the "error-prone" back line, goes all in on tackles, is reliable on every corner into the box, and swears on social media to boot. He's every Leeds fan's dream, and we're lucky to have him. Really lucky...
If I found Jansson in bed with my wife, I'd walk over, tell my wife to get out and then i'd get in bed with him myself.
— Pontus Fan Club (@pontusfanclub) October 1, 2016
We're not above sharing great stories at other media outlets either. As Phil Hay wrote yesterday for the Yorkshire Evening Post, Jansson simply gets it.
"Football is a show, not just a business." Jansson talks entertainment and why #lufc's form isn't all about him:https://t.co/SYEY2w5nzw? pic.twitter.com/QQaOvTAS2L
— Phil Hay (@PhilHayYEP) October 4, 2016
So he was an easy choice for our readers and Twitter followers for the September Player of the Month. Chris Wood's goals, Kyle Bartley's leadership, Eunan O'Kane's presence in the midfield, even Rob Green's clean sheets presented no competition to Pontus Jansson's passion and play on the pitch. And so, congrats to Pontus, the winner of our September Reader's Choice Player of the Month award.
Such a sexy beast, that Pontus. Two Reader's Choice awards, two Swedes, two stickers. We'll see who wins it in October, but knowing this guy's heart and passion, we might be making it three Swede winners in a row.
When you give fucking everything, sooner or later you will get the result! #MOT
— Pontus Jansson (@PJansson5) September 13, 2016
We'll have our Staff Player of the Month award on Friday, with rational explanations for all three of our vote-getters. That's right, it wasn't unanimous. Stay tuned, and enjoy the international break. MOT.

Welcome to the New America, Where Oligarchs Rock!
When I was a junior in high school my English teacher, Vivian Davenport, wrote a "Word for the Day" on the blackboard. Students were charged with defining the word and crafting a sentence using it correctly.
'Oligarchy' might well have been one of Ms. Davenport's words: Definition -- "a small group of people who together govern a nation or control an organization, often for their own purposes." Sentence: America seems to be moving from a democracy to an oligarchy.
Ms. Davenport might well have written 'plutocracy' -- governance by the wealthy class, or 'autocracy' - the unlimited political power of a single ruler, on the blackboard too. I doubt she ever asked us to define or use the word 'democracy.' She would have assumed we all understood that political system, given how frequently it was invoked to describe the merits of American life back in the post-war 1950s. Today I suspect she would add it to her list. In her quiet way, she would want us to understand what we stand perilously close to losing.
Let's not be Pollyana about American democracy, though. As writer Tom Adams pointed out in a blog post on Reader Supported News a while back, the word 'democracy' doesn't even appear in the constitution. John Adams warned his colleagues of the "tyranny of the majority," and Alexander Hamilton believed that "the people should have as little to do as may be about the Government."
The so-called founding fathers were, like the majority of our Congressional members today, wealthy, white, property-holding (and slave-owning) males who favored a system of government that protected their own financial interests. Then as now, chosen representatives did not represent the interest of the public. Rather, their priorities neglected society at large while serving the financial elite.
Nevertheless, despite their political motives and personal flaws, we like to believe that the nation's architects understood their responsibility and their legacy as they crafted a future for the new country they were helping to build.
Would that we could say the same for our current Supreme Court. Instead we are left to wonder how in the world they could have done it again with their McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission decision hot on the heels of the Citizens United decision - opening the doors to a new America in which money talks while the one percent balks.
The Citizens United decision of 2010 cleared the way for corporations to spend freely to get their sympathizers elected. It virtually declared that corporations were people too, effectively eliminating limits on direct donations by the ultra-wealthy to political campaigns. As Common Dreams noted, "it was a disaster for democracy."

Is the Schweppes mansion America's most haunting real estate?
If we're looking for a particularly gothic, haunting Halloween-themed piece of real estate, The Schweppe Mansion has everything going for it. History, fame, wealth, death, suicide, ghosts and a long, lonely search for a buyer despite numerous dramatic price cuts.
The property itself, considered one of Chicago's most historically important, is impressive with or without any haunting attached. It sprawls over roughly five acres, an elaborate estate of forested, lakefront land crowned with a 25,000 square foot mansion. Inside, the mansion offers a dizzying 28 rooms to explore, including at least 10 bedrooms and more than 11 baths, a formal dining room with beveled paneling, a stately library and a cavernous kitchen. Despite restoration in the 1980s (after being abandoned for almost 50 years), today the home appears very much original, as if the Schweppe family has only stepped out for a sail on Lake Michigan.
But history tells us otherwise.
Wealth and fame
In 1917 this home was bequeathed to Laura Shedd by her parents. Her father was John G. Shedd, whose story of starting at Marshall Field's as a stock clerk and rising to the role of company president is the epitome of the American Dream. Under his guidance, Marshall Field's enjoyed its heyday, becoming "the largest store in Chicago and the largest wholesale and dry goods company in the world." The mansion was a gift for Laura's wedding to Charles Schweppe, a name we might recognize from bars, refrigerators and store shelves all over the world.
Tragic history
Known as Mayflower Place, the estate attracted the world's elite. Chicago Magazine reports the Schweppes entertained royalty at least twice. "Legend says that Laura Shedd Schweppe hosted a crown prince and princess of Sweden, who danced on the eastern terrace. With Wallis Simpson, for whom he abdicated the British throne in 1936, Edward, Duke of Windsor slept in a bedroom on the western end of the home's second floor."
With such illustrious beginnings, we might expect a long and happy history in this home, but in truth, history of Schweppe family life here is neither. Inside its walls Laura Schweppe died of a heart attack in 1937. Her death was the first of worse to come: In 1941, writes The Chicago Psychic Examiner,
"Servants entered Charles Schweppe's bedroom and found him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Charles Schweppe was only 60 years old. The only clue left by Charles as to why he took his own life was a note found on his dresser that simply read, "I've been awake all night. It's terrible."
Grief or greed?
Though the obvious cause of his suicide would be devastation over losing his wife, other theories exist. Clinical depression? Physical illness? Maybe a brain tumor? Chronic insomnia? Some historians speculate it boils down to greed: When Laura Schweppe passed, she left the bulk of her $10 million fortune to her children; Charles only received $200,000. "Could it be that Charles was so disappointed with his inheritance … that he believed death was the only way to escape his pain?" wonders Annie Walker of the Chicago Examiner. Of course, it could be that he had plenty of his own money and she only sought to safeguard her children. Whatever his reasons for killing himself, Charles Schweppe took them with him to his grave.
Period of decay
The death of Charles Schweppe ended his family's tenure in Mayflower House. No one lived in the estate for 46 years thereafter — at least no mortal. "Locals insisted it was haunted and buyers were scarce," writes Time Out Chicago." Reports that Laura and Charles' ghosts haunted the mansion's bedrooms were common enough to qualify as bona fide Chicago paranormal lore. Adding to legend, "Ghostly servants were also rumored to roam the halls of the majestic Tudor," says the Examiner.
The Lakeforest College Library archives include this entry: "At the Preservation Foundation holiday reception there on Sunday, December 4, 2011, a credible witness observed that he and small group had indeed seen a ghost." The Orlando Sentinel reports that "Although the heirs to the estate have kept silent on their reasons for holding onto the estate without occupying it, folklore has it that Schweppe ordered them to leave the home empty for 45 years after his death, in case he decided to return as resident reincarnate."
Whoever is haunting the master bedroom, s/he is doing so tidily: Reportedly, one window there remained free of cobwebs and dust, despite almost five decades of abandonment.
In the late 1980s, Donna and Howard Hoeper finally purchased the estate for $5.5 million, regardless of haunts. At the time, the Sentinel reported that "The Hoeper family takes the folklore with more than a grain of ghoulish good humor. Noting that the mansion has 22,000 square feet of living space, 20 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, Hoeper said 'If there is a spirit in the house, there is enough room for all of us.'"
The couple planned for an elaborate restoration, but divorced before finishing, leaving the mansion in foreclosure by 2009. Since then, the home has been listed and de-listed multiple times, as seen on Estately property history for the listing. In its first attempt on the market, it listed for $18 million. Later, it listed at $15 million. Today, it's been on the market over 250 days, drastically reduced to $9.950 million.
