For Whom the (Closing) Bell Tolls

Posted: 30 Jun 2013 09:41 PM PDT

As the saying goes, markets take the stairs up and an elevator down.  And boy did it the days after the last Fed meeting.  I'm reminded of that old E.F. Hutton commercial every time Ben Bernanke makes a public statement.   The Fed certainly has the market's attention, I'm just not sure it's capable of listening.  The immediate impulse is to buy or sell, (and in the case of last week, sell with a capital 'S'), without much contemplation.

Does Google Not Get Hadoop?!

As a former Microsoft and Apple employee, I've always looked at Google from a different perspective.  Many of my friends work there and I admire them for helping the company drive breakthrough innovation, from search to self-driving cars to now "intelligent" glasses. Google has had a foundational impact on Big Data, yet the company has the opportunity to better explain how its assets ultimately help developers make Big Data serve humans more effectively.

Posted: 30 Jun 2013 09:45 PM PDT

In this photo taken Sunday, June 30, 2013, Dr. Sam Axelrad displays in a hotel room in Hanoi the bones of an arm he amputated in 1966 in the former South Vietnam. On Monday the Houston urologist was traveling to meet the amputee, Nguyen Quang Hung. Axelrad, 74, amputated Hung's infected arm in October 1966 in a U.S. military hospital after Hung was shot by American troops near Hung's hometown of An Khe. The two veterans were reunited after a Vietnamese journalist wrote an article last year about Axelrad's search for Hung, prompting Hung's brother to contact the newspaper.

Asset Protection Planning And California Rule Of Professional Conduct 3-210

Posted: 30 Jun 2013 08:35 PM PDT

The typical scenario involves a client who comes into your office and is financially underwater because of some bad real estate deals. The client wants to settle with the creditors, but can't bring them to the table. So the client wants you, as his or her attorney, to put together an asset protection plan that will in the best case make creditors uneasy about throwing good money after bad so that the creditors settle, and in the worst case will protect the client's assets if the creditors will not agree to a settlement of the client's liking.
