Often times you need to acquire a criminal defense law and yes it helps to understand that these lawyers offer you free initial appointment. Their legal costs are flat. As an illustration, if you are usually facing misdemeanor criminal lawsuits, it will set you back around $1, 500 to $5, 000 with regard to defense. DUI cases in most cases charge higher and can cost you $2, 500 to be able to $10, 000. When you find yourself facing felony cases because of a violation in the particular criminal law, the fees involved are greater and can attain $25, 000! But that's not the final of it since the federal or condition court fees are generally higher as effectively. When you speak to the lawyer, you should supply your criminal history so that the criminal defense attorney can assess your own case. Facts for the case will be reviewed. The defenses available may also be identified so which the legal issues might be better addressed. Your lawyer can assist you out by examining the situation and will also be told frankly if your case is hard or all to easy to resolve. Meeting with your lawyer is the obvious way to determine if you really feel comfortable with him or her. Any problem using the violation of some sort of criminal law will simply be resolved by making use of a qualified Los Angeles legal help. A Los Angeles legal defense lawyer should never make promises. You will only be exhibited facts but absolutely nothing more. So in case a certain lawyer promises to win your case and pressures you to definitely hire him/her, go as a crimson flag and timid away. There are still many reputable and ethical lawyers out there that can help you with your trouble. Once you hire a legal counsel, you will be educated of the case standing as well as the criminal law that you have violated. You should pay 25% to 50% in the fee and this will likely serve as advance payment. The criminal case won't end with the hiring of a legal advice. In fact, there are however other expenses you'll want to attend to. It will include witness fees, depositions, process hosting space, transcripts, records illegal copies, deposition rooms, specialist witnesses, and federal government documents. These things are billed to you, the client and it's different from the actual legal fees. You should know of these expenses so as to already calculate when you can afford to pay for them. Going to the courtroom is expensive and you have to know a great deal in the criminal law in order to avoid violating them sometime soon.

Insight: Who got Facebook shares? Fairness may not come into it

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A lot of loyal Facebook fans and occasional investors are discovering a hard truth this week: Money and connections talk, especially when it comes to a deal handled by Wall Street.

The scramble for shares in what is one of largest initial public offerings in U.S. history quickly divided the haves from the have-nots on Thursday. Those with big brokerage accounts and a long history as customers of Wall Street firms likely got at least part of their orders for Facebook shares filled, but would-be buyers who had no such ties were lucky to get any.

"This is worse than not scoring an invitation to the best party in high school," said Fran Carpentier, 57, a publishing and marketing consultant in New York City who wanted to get in on the social media company's IPO but could not figure out how.

Facebook raised about $16 billion on Thursday by selling roughly 421 million shares at $38 each. That is approximately half a share for each of its 900 million active monthly users.

Demand for the long-awaited deal, meanwhile, has been surging, helped by wall-to-wall media coverage. Orders for Facebook shares outweigh the supply by a ratio of more than 20 to 1, according to traders' estimates.

Aside from wanting the cachet of owning the next big thing, investors are eager to buy something that may deliver big, even astronomical returns -- a rare opportunity in today's low-yield and turbulent markets. IPOs often offer an early pop, even if the shares stumble later, and Facebook is seen initially climbing further than most.

Some analysts expect Facebook shares to rise by as much as 50 percent, or even more on the first day.

Facebook and underwriters, as usual, kept mum about overall demand ahead of the IPO. Facebook, which will trade under the ticker FB, did not return calls for comment.

There have been growing expectations in the market that small investors, as opposed to big pension and mutual fund managers, will get as much as 30 percent of the deal. That's a bigger chunk than the 10 percent to 15 percent that is typically allocated to retail investors. It is a result of efforts by Facebook executives to make shares available to more users.

Underwriters are accommodating Facebook's wishes. But the allocation may still not be nearly enough to meet demand.

That puts financial advisers and brokerage houses in the uncomfortable position of not having enough shares to satisfy Main Street investors clamoring to be a part of the hottest IPO since Google's 2004 debut.

One of those investors is Mary Furlong, who runs a marketing firm for baby boomers in Lafayette, California. "I want to buy shares. I missed the Google opening," she says, but did not end up getting hold of any shares.

Google, whose founders made "Don't be evil" a core principle, in 2004 issued its stock through a more transparent process known as a modified Dutch auction. Underwriters gathered bids from investors regardless of their connections or size of their portfolios.

That created more of a level playing field for potential investors. Google's shares were priced at $85, climbed to $100 on Day 1 and are now trading at about $623.

Facebook is selling its shares through a traditional Wall Street IPO, a more subjective process, one managed by investment bankers.

"The deal is probably not 'fair,' but there's no way it can be," said Bruce Foerster, owner of South Beach Capital Markets and former head of global equity syndicate at Lehman Brothers. "If you don't have ties to Facebook management, if you don't have accounts and an investment history with firms that are co-managing the deal, why should you get any stock?"

MANAGING EXPECTATIONS

The demand for Facebook shares has put immense pressure on the 17,000-plus financial advisers at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, the brokerage unit of Morgan Stanley, one of the IPO's lead underwriters.

On Monday the company told advisers that its retail customers would be limited to a maximum 500 shares per account, only to increase the limit to 5,000 on Thursday, according to sources familiar with the situation.

Mindful that customers would be frustrated, Morgan Stanley early on distributed a script to its brokers on how to handle requests from clients, said one veteran broker.

"The minute someone says 'Facebook,' we're supposed to say, 'Yes, we're the lead, but we can't talk about it,'" the broker said. "I heard from three or four clients, and I told them there is no way I'll be able to get them shares because I haven't done IPO business in years."

Other brokerages are in the same boat. Bank of America's Merrill Lynch brokerage is limiting retail clients to a maximum 2,000 shares per account, according to brokers at the firm.

Wells Fargo Advisors, the brokerage arm of Wells Fargo & Co, has a scoring system for allocating shares among its more than 15,000 brokers. It weighs brokers' annual revenue production, how much IPO work they do and how long their clients held positions in prior IPOs, according to one Wells Fargo broker.

Then in turn, brokers score their clients based on assets with the firm, how much they have traded in the past, and how long they've held onto previous allocations of shares in IPOs.

"I can't just get Facebook shares for my buddy," said one Wells Fargo adviser, who declined to be named because he is not permitted to speak to the press.

At Fidelity, the funds and brokerage giant, Facebook shares will be reserved only for clients with at least $500,000 in assets, excluding 401(k) plans, or those who make at least 36 trades a year with the firm, according to Fidelity spokesman Stephen Austin.

Loyalty helps: Fidelity customers who have being doing business with the firm for the longest periods get higher priority in the IPO food chain.

While excluded investors may feel spurned, there's nothing illegal about banks selling shares to their best customers. Whether it is fair to everyone is another question.

"People have argued that it leaves other investors out, especially for hot IPOs, where in the after-market the prices are likely to be much higher," said Jill Fisch, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

Maurice Costello, a former broker who works as an accountant in the Boston area, says he has ordered Facebook at $37 a share through his E*Trade account. But he has no idea how many shares he might ultimately receive.

The online brokerage, which typically caters to small investors, is one of 33 firms named by Facebook to distribute its newly issued shares. E*Trade would not comment on the Facebook IPO.

For some investors, buying into the IPO doesn't necessarily mean holding on to the stock. Richard Laermer, who is CEO of social network ThankBank, is clamoring to get Facebook shares and flip, or sell them, at a profit.

"I am going to do what I did with LinkedIn, Groupon, Google, Research In Motion, AOL, Netscape, Dunkin Donuts ... plus a host of 90s stocks that I can't even recall," Laermer wrote in an email to Reuters. "Buy on Day One, sell on Day Three. It never fails."

House/Building Foundation Work in Central Maine ? Home ...

May 17, 2012 by Patrice Beaulieu

Though a foundation typically isn?t seen, it shouldn?t be forgotten. Foundations are extremely important during and after the construction of new buildings. The foundation transfers the weight of the roof, walls and floors to the ground below. It is ?the lowest load-bearing part of a building, typically below ground level.? (Google)

Types of Building Foundations (Common in U.S.)

• Crawlspace: Common in areas with heavy clay content in the soil. Offers little room between the soil and first floor.
• Full-Height Basement: Common in cold climates. Offers more head room between the soil and the first floor.
• Slab on Grade: Common in areas with a high water table. No room between soil and first floor. A concrete slab is poured on top of the grade.

Here in Maine, we experience frost and freezing and thawing temperatures. Foundations in our area need to be below the frost line to prevent damage as frost comes out of the ground.

Also, all foundations must be built to code. This means following the requirements and codes set by the city/town where the work is to be performed.

Benefits of Sound Foundation Design

Sound foundation design and installation are critical because it saves homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs in the future by avoiding serious structural problems.

Other benefits include:

• Energy Savings (Insulated ? reduced utility bills)
• Water/Moisture Control
• Termite Control
• Radon Control (In areas where this is a concern)
• Prevent Structural Damage (Related to faulty foundation)
• Creation of Useable Space

Overview of Foundation Design

Several aspects go into the design of a foundation, some of which are left to the discretion of the homeowner.

• Choose Foundation Type (Listed Above)
• Use of Basement (Heated or Cooled)
• Select Construction System (Concrete/Masonry/Wood)
• Insulation Placement/Amount
• Finalize Construction Details
• Finalize Plans/Documents

Can We Break Our Contract If Our Agent Took Our ... - Realtor.com

Q: We no longer trust this broker. We paid $995.00 upfront. She never calls and took our home off the market, without our consent. How can we get our money back and get out of this contract nightmare? She says our money is non-refundable. She refused to show us homes. We only had two showings in three months and that was on the same day from another Realtor. Any help would be appreciated. We are open to showings anytime and even lowered the price by $15,000 in the first two months.
?Kitty, Painesville, OH

A: Please refer to your listing agreement which would detail the terms/conditions under which your binding contract could be terminated. If she indeed took your home off the market without your expressed written consent, then you should consult a real estate attorney who could better advise you on your possible courses of action. Best of luck.
Alex Cortez is a Realtor? with Wailea Village Properties LLC dba/Island Sotheby?s in Kihei, HI.

A: You need to refer to your listing agreement to determine whether the broker removed your home from the market for good reason. For example, if the listing ran its course and she simply did not renew it, then the contract was fulfilled and neither of you likely have any further obligation to the other. If, on the other hand, she took your home off the market before the term was up, she may have breached the contract, and you could have good cause to terminate it and move on. If she did breach the contract, but still refuses to refund your money, you could take several courses of action, including filing a complaint with your state?s real estate commission and/or taking her to small claims court. Consult with legal counsel to determine your options.
Phil Lunnon is a Realtor? with Lunnon Realty in Lakewood, CO.

A: Dear Seller -

First let me say I am licensed in California, not Ohio. However, I am happy to share my experience and knowledge, which may apply to your state too.

If your agent is not performing as agreed or has done anything you feel is unlawful or unethical, you have several recourses. You can complain to the agent?s ?broker of record?, you can file a complaint with the Department of Real Estate in Ohio, you can file a complaint with the Ohio & National Association of Realtors, and you can file a lawsuit against the agent.

The easiest recourse and probably the quickest way to get resolution is to contact the agent?s broker. You can find the name of the agent?s broker of record by calling her office. If you prefer not to call her office, you can contact the Ohio Department of Real Estate instead.

You can use your browser to search for ?Ohio Department of Real Estate? to go directly to their website. Then you click on the link to ?eLicensing? and then you enter your agent?s information. It will provide you with a list of people with similar names who are licensed real estate agents. When you click on your agent?s name, it will give you detailed information, including the name of her broker and the city where that broker is located.

Once you?ve found the broker?s name, call him/her and have a candid conversation, clearly stating the problem you encountered and the resolution you desire.

You can also search for the ?Ohio Association of Realtors? using your browser. Then contact them to find out if your agent is a ?Realtor?. Agents volunteer to be Realtors; it is not required. If your agent joined the Ohio Association of Realtors, then she is a Realtor and is held to a higher standard of ethics. You may file a complaint with the Assocation of Realtors.

The State of Ohio?s Department of Real Estate will also help you file a consumer complaint.

I hope this information is helpful.

Denise Shur is a Realtor? with 1:1 Realty in San Jose, CA.

A: Contact an attorney to review your listing contract. Laws vary between states.
Mark Bergman is a Realtor? with Bergman Real Estate in North Creek, NY.

A: I totally understand your frustration. Let me tell you a story about a property I listed and sold in three days whom was with one of those fee-for-service brokerage firms. It was an elderly couple and that makes it even worse. They were promised the moon and the sales agent continued to get them to fork over money before the property was ever shown. The elderly couple handed over almost $4000.00 dollars before it was all said and done. Then after the listing had expired the agent disappeared, had their money, and never even bothered calling them to see if they wanted to continue. In searching we found several deficiencies. 1) The property was not put in MLS for almost a month. 2) Only one main photo was up on the property. 3) The sales agent had the owner?s phone numbers to contact for all appointments. I know there has to be some kind of fiduciary obligation , but what that was was not readily available. Well needless to say the company got the elderly couples money. They listed with us a full service brokerage. We had under contract in three days and closed in 30. Yes the couple had to pay out commission on the listing, but it was sold so quickly and they were so elated to finally be free and clear of the property they have sent us a lot of business. So the moral of the story is: Yes there are fly-by-night companies that will be glad to take your money, there are FSBO sites that will as well, but do you think a full service agent whom does not receive a dime before the property has more or less of an incentive to sell? That is what I thought. In the other scenario?s you take the incentive out of the mix. Why should a fee for service broker work hard for you? Out of obligation? You and I know how far that will get you.

Full Service agents have been around for decades. They take pride in what they do and do it well because without this they would be out of business. I hope this helps.

DNA methylation and the aggressiveness of prostate cancer ? THE ...

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Sitemaster

According to a media release from the Mayo Clinic earlier today, ?Alterations to the ?on-off? switches of genes occur early in the development of prostate cancer and could be used as biomarkers to detect the disease months or even years earlier than current approaches.?

The relevant research paper has ? supposedly ?? just been published on line in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, and of course the first critical question it raises is whether the ability to use the relevant biomarkers (DNA methylation profiles) can help us to distinguish with accuracy between cancers that are indolent and which will never need treatment and cancers which have the potential to metastasize. Alas, as yet there is no sign of the abstract of the paper on the web site of the journal!

There is more information in the full text of the media release, and there is also more information on excerpts from video interviews with some of the authors on the Mayo Clinical News Network (but you have to be approved to have access to these interviews), so for the time being we are limited to the media release.

According to this release:

• The authors studied the DNA methylation profiles of 14,495 genes from prostate cancers in 238 patients, including
  • Genes from men whose cancer never recurred after first-line treatment
  • Genes from men whose cancer recurred locally after first-line treatment
  • Genes from men whose cancer metastasized
• DNA methylation changes observed during the earliest stages of prostate cancer development were nearly identical in all patients.
• The authors identified ?distinct? alterations in patterns of DNA methylation that could be used to distinguish between indolent and more aggressive tumors.

The senior author, Krishna Donenka, PhD, is quoted as saying that, ?Our approach is more accurate and reliable than the widely used PSA ? test,? but then any new test had better be significantly better that the current PSA test, so that?s only step one toward a test that can really revolutionize the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer.

At least DNA methylation change would be prostate cancer specific ? which of course the PSA test is not.

DNA methylation of specific genes is an increasingly well-understood process by which the body controls whether particular genes are turned ?off? or turned ?on? at a particular point in time. It is not the only process that affects the degree of expression of a particular gene ? but it is very certainly an important one.

Convertible Note Seed Financings: Econ 101 For Founders

What Is a Conversion Discount? In the context of a seed financing, a convertible note is a loan that typically automatically converts into shares of preferred stock upon the closing of a Series A round of financing. ?A conversion discount (or ?discount?) is a mechanism to reward the noteholders for their investment risk by granting to them the right to convert the amount of the loan, plus interest, at a reduced price (in percentage terms) to the purchase price paid by the Series A investors. In other words, the founders are saying to the investors, in effect, if you take this risk and give us money today, we?ll reward you by giving you ?20% off? at our Series A round down the road (20% being the usual discount, as discussed below). ?For example, if the investors in a $500,000 convertible note seed financing were granted a discount of 20%, and the price per share of the Series A Preferred Stock were $1.00, the noteholders would convert the loan at an effective price (referred to as the ?conversion price?) of $0.80 per share and thus receive 625,000 shares ($500,000 divided by $0.80), which is 125,000 shares more than a Series A investor would receive for its $500,000 investment and a 1.25x return on paper ($625,000 divided by $500,000). ?(The foregoing example does not include accrued interest on the loan, which is typically about 5%-7% annually, as discussed below.)

NVIDIA reports Q1 earnings: rakes $60.4 million profit on $924.9 million in revenue

What's black and white and red all over? One thing it's probably not is NVIDIA's Q1 2013 earnings report. That's why we're here to dig through the muck and tell you that the company saw both profits and revenue fall from last quarter. Revenue was down three percent to $924.9 million but, more shockingly, net income dropped 47.9 percent to just $60 million. With a slew of new product launches over the last few months NVIDIA is optimistic about the future and actually managed to beat Wall Street's expectations. Though it offers little explanation for the drop off in its earnings press release, we'd expect things to get back to normal soon. For all the fine financial details, check out the PR after the break.

Nielsen has been running some research into different demographics and their impact in the digital world, and their latest -- quite possibly as a hat-tip to Mother's Day this weekend -- is a look at U.S. moms, a group that you might have assumed would be technical luddites, but actually are holding their own very well, thankyouverymuch. It turns out that mothers are above average smartphone users, big fans of Facebook and Pinterest, and that the concept of a "mommy blogger" is actually a reality. The results also show that they are some of the most engaged consumers online.

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis: It's Absolutely NOT Over!

Johnny Depp was not pleased when asked about rumors that he and longtime love Vanessa Paradis have split. But he confirmed they have not!

The actor got a bit upset when reporters at the UK premiere of his new film (follow the link for a Dark Shadows movie review) asked about her.

“The rumors are not true. They are absolutely not true,” he said.

Reports that he and Paradis, 39, his partner of 14 years, are no longer an item have become a recurring celebrity gossip topic, to his chagrin.

Depp walked his Dark Shadows red carpet solo, and was noticeably MIA from her side when she promoted her film, Cafe de Flore, in January.

For the acting great, who is notoriously private about his personal life, it has almost become pointless to address the rumors, in his view.

“No matter what I say about this, people believe the opposite,” he said, according to The Sun. “I can’t say enough about it not being over.”

Paradis, for her part, hasn’t done much to dispel the rumors, remaining ambiguous when asked about her stance on long-lasting partner.

“I have a problem with the term soul mates, it scares me a lot,” the French singer and actress told UK’s Stylist magazine recently.

“It’s such a strong statement ... it’s like a marriage contract. I believe in love, and I really want to believe that it lasts forever."

“But like everyone else, I have to take things a day at a time and you can never know what comes next. All you can do is hope, love and live.”

Paradis and Depp are unmarried, but have two children together.
