Acknowledgments This book wouldn’t have been possible withoutT oni Ihara’s assistance, encouragement, and good ideas. We are also indebted to a number of businesspeople who generously shared their ideas and experiences, including Chuck Drulis, Laura and Kiran Singh, Rich Stim, Lori Clawson, and Kay Klaczynski. Stephen Elias, author of Nolo’s How to File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, provided big assistance in reviewing our debt and bankruptcy materials, as did Terri Hearsh in checking our financial calculations. And finally, and most importantly, our Nolo editor Mary Randolph did the inspired nipping, tucking, and reorganizing necessary to make our manuscript truly shine.

  • Super ACRONYM - Round 1
    Super ACRONYM - Round 1 1. Description acceptable. This character grabs a woman and tells her, "Americans, you're ​ all the same, always overdressing for the wrong occasions," then unveils an ominous apparatus that turns out to be a coat hanger. Ronald Lacey plays this character, who sustains an injury at a tavern called the Raven that prompts him to arrange (*) an ​ excavation near Cairo to locate the Well of Souls. That injury is later seen in close-up when this character gives a Heil Hitler, showing one side of the headpiece of the Staff of Ra seared onto his palm. For 10 points, name this villain who dies in an absolutely amazing way in Raiders of the ​ Lost Ark. ​ ANSWER: The Nazi whose face is melted off (or Major Arnold Ernst Toht; accept any answer ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ indicating the Nazi whose face is melted by the Ark of the Covenant; accept answers indicating ​ ​ ​ ​ the Nazi who wears glasses or similar; prompt on answers like "that one Nazi (from Raiders)") ​ ​ <Vopava> 2. In 1920, baseball owners briefly considered imposing an automatic balk as a penalty for ​ taking this action. Chris Rose and Kevin Millar host an MLB Network talk show whose name parodies this action. In 2006, Todd Williams badly botched one of these actions against Miguel Cabrera. In a 1998 game, Buck Showalter had (*) Gregg Olson of the ​ Diamondbacks do this with the bases loaded against Barry Bonds, who accumulated 120 of these actions in 2004. Beginning in 2017 at the Major League level, no actual throws were necessary to issue, for 10 points, what baseball action that deliberately lets a man on base? ANSWER: intentional walk (or intentional base on balls; prompt on "walk" or "base on balls" ​ ​ ​ ​ without the word "intentional") <Nelson> 3.

  • A Changing Legal Market and the Delivery of Legal Services
    www.peabodyarnold.com A Changing Legal Market and the Delivery of Legal Services Related Practices By Peabody and Arnold on August 17, 2017 Professional Liability Litigation Bart Centauro’s article on : A Changing Legal Market and the Delivery of Legal Services which appears in the ABA/BNA publication Lawyer’s Manual on Professional Conduct appears here. For the pdf version in the ABA/BNA publication Click Here. Sam Cooke told us that “A Change is Gonna Come.” Never has that been truer for the legal profession than it is today. Our competitors, the demands from our clients, and how we practice are all markedly different than only five years ago, and each will continue to evolve over the next decade. These issues were discussed during the ABA’s Spring 2017 National Legal Malpractice Conference in a session moderated by Steven Couch, the president and CEO of the Ohio Bar Liability Insurance Company. The panel also included Steve Crossland of Crossland Law Offices in Cashmere, Washington; Margrett George of the Lawyers Insurance Fund and the Law Society of British Columbia; Trevor McCann of Clyde & Co Montreal, Quebec; and Jordan Furlong, a legal market analyst at Law21 in Ottawa, Ontario. Woven throughout the discussion was one overriding question: As legal services become more expensive and more specialized, how can we as a profession ensure not only that everyone has access to quality legal services but that everyone can afford them too? The Changing Face of the Legal Market Lawyers today face two challenges above all others that are leading to an evolution of the legal services industry: the rise of domestic and foreign non-law firm entities that provide basic legal services that were previously the exclusive domain of law firms; and the evolution of the marketplace where clients demand better customer service at lower costs.

    1. A theory about the origin of this term points out that it appears after the line “I’m trill working the wheel” in the 2000 Three 6 Mafia song “Sippin on Some Syrup.” A TikTok trend associated with this term uses an audio mashup of “Hey Ya!’ by Outkast and “Rockstar” by Post Malone. A popular TikTok song by Yung Nugget titled for this word contains the lyrics “Just cop you some ice to put on your wrist / And take off those cargo shorts, they look like shit” and contains a dialogue between a young boy and his (*) doctor, who has diagnosed the boy high on a scale named for this word. A Tweet from user @kingfadedz in October of 2019 using this word posted a video of clips from the Regular Show to illustrate how Mordecai personifies this word. TikTok user neekolul has been called the “Queen of” this word after men started drooling over her viral “OK Boomer” TikTok. For 10 points, name this slang word which has gained recent attention for its use as a derogatory description of submissive men. ANSWER: simp [accept other word forms] 2. In one TikTok with this song as the background audio, a teacher infiltrates the boys bathroom and seems to be about to bust two boys for vaping, but instead takes a fat hit of the JUUL. In a similar TikTok using this same song, an RA shows up to bust a pregame at a dorm but gets knocked out by a punch from Chad. The song “No Time For Emotion” from the Kingsman: Golden Circle soundtrack is an adaptation of this song.
