Give the gift of NYC

Filed under:Opinions — posted by Tom on November 8, 2007 @ 11:17 pm

CityPass is offering an incredible deal for anyone interested in seeing the big apple. By purchasing a New York CityPass you can gain access to some of the most popular attractions in New York City for half of the price of their combined admission. The passes also enable you to skip long ticket lines in most areas. The special runs from December 15 through March 15 and it is truly an amazing deal, so why not spend the Christmas with someone you love in the big city?

With your New York CityPass you get access to Museum of Modern Art, Greek and Roman galleries, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum, the American Museum of Natural History and, a trip to the top of the Empire State Building Observatory. My favorite part of the package is a tour of the Manhattan sky line aboard a sight seeing cruise ship. Can you imagine how absolutely beautiful that would be at sunset? or on a snowy day with the snow on the top of the buildings looking like modern mountains?

I would so love to take that tour and then afterwards spend the evening looking at that gorgeous tree in Time Square. The opportunities to visit the art museums would also be like a dream come true for me. There’s no where else in the United States where you have that much access to art and history.

Detention for Hugging?

Filed under:Opinions — posted by Tom on @ 10:26 pm

Is it really necessary to punish a girl for comforting her friend in a time of need? In Montgomery Alabama two teen girls were given detention for a HUG! Their middle school has a ban on public displays of affection.  The hug in this case was just putting an arm around the shoulder of a fellow classmate who was upset over the recent loss of her parent.  Hugging became an “issue” after the Supreme Court ruled that schools could be liable in cases of sexual harassment that the district ignored. There is a huge difference between giving a hello hug, or lending a shoulder in a time of need and harassment. While I agree a line should be drawn and there should be guidelines, I whole heartedly feel this punishment is too harsh.

Police Kill Man

Kind of an old story, but depending on your view of it, a very disturbing one. I am bothered by it, but I just found out about this recently. Maybe if enough people learn and understand, and are as deeply bothered as the rest of us, maybe then justice may occur. Someone needs to be held accountable for this. Thats my opinion and it cannot be changed. That was completely wrong. the officer could have owned up, and it would have made it easier to handle, but he lied and the police department lied with him. thats the most disturbing thing. It could happen to you.

J. D. Roy Atchison, a U.S. attorney commits suicide

Filed under:Opinions — posted by Tom on October 8, 2007 @ 6:28 pm

Remember the federal prosecutor arrested for attempting to have sex with a 5 year old? Good news. He killed himself.

For those unfamiliar J. D. Roy Atchison, was a U.S. attorney.

He was caught in a sting in which a detective pretended to be a little girls mom wanting to sell the girl for sex. He has a Dora the Explorer doll and  a jar of Vaseline when he was arrested. Guilty? I think so, and his suicide confirms it.

Whats odd is, doesn’t a prosecutor know how stings work? I mean wouldn’t you think “what mother would do this?” and just follow your gut instinct?

Anyways its a great great thing this guy was arrested and even better we know he wont re offend, he did to himself what the justice system couldn’t or wouldn’t .

Powerful Exhibits

Filed under:Opinions, Lawsuits, Ethics, Blogroll — posted by Tom on August 20, 2007 @ 8:47 pm

I cant help but ponder the amount, the actual number, of words said in a hour during a jury trial. the proper words can issue the most powerful images and consequently emotions. Of course words used wrong can be boring. A personal injury attorney then , has quite a big challenge. He needs to often educate the jury on a scientific subject, like accident reconstruction.

In a complex situation words alone are not adequate. On the other end of the spectrum, too many exhibits makes the trial chaotic, detracting from the gravity of the situation. The attorney must balance words with exhibits. Enlarged photographs are useful, as are properly enlarged medical transcripts. A visually colorful time line can be essential, moreso in a medical malpractice suit.

In an accident based on a construction accident the lawyer may want a model built, to simulate the scene where his client was injured. Sometimes the thinsg that are tangible work better than photos.

Food From China Not being Inspected

Filed under:Controversial, Opinions, Liability, Blogroll, News — posted by Tom on August 9, 2007 @ 11:47 pm

“Frozen Shrimp, Catfish, and Eel From Foreign Source  Not Inspected”

More than one million pounds of  shrimp, catfish, and eel brought ind from China passed through U.S.  shipping ports since the autumn of 2006 sans the needed inspection for banned chemicals and drugs or other harmful things. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration  had placed the Chinese food businesses that generated these items on an “import alert” roster, indicating that the FDA was ordered to  prevent every load of the items until they had passed our testing. However, an  investigation found that most such deliveries were not stopped or tested.
FDA Can Not Perform Its Duties

The FDA usually inspects only just 1% of the imports it is issued with watchingg. In the instance of import notices such as that given for pond-raised food from China, 100 percent of the imports  are mandated to be searched and tested. The current news about the chinese shipments advises once again that the FDA is helpless to perform its duties to shield American consumers.

The FDA has about 450 employees to inspect  about 20 million shipments of imported food products, medical apparatus, and miscellaneous  items annually. FDA staff of late said before Congress that they don’t feel they have the manpower to do this screening efficiently.
