Reacll of Moisture Plus Contact Lens Solution

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) began receiving reports of an eye-blinding disease that was linked to a specific brand of contact lens solution. Based on reports, manufacturers of Moisture Plus contact lens solution recalled millions of bottles of the solution, becoming one of the largest contact lens solution recalls.

It is imperative that individuals who used the contact lens solution contact a medical profession if they experience any of these symptoms:

* eye pain or redness

* blurred vision

* sensitivity to light

* the feeling of something in the eye

* excessive tearing

Details of the Moisture Plus Recall

The disease, Acanthamoeba Keratitis, has been confirmed in 138 patients since the beginning of the outbreak in January 2005, according to the CDC. According to those who were infected, of the 46 intervied by CDC approximately 21 individuals had been linked to using the AMO brand of Moisture Plus. The disease itself is a keratitis, or an inflammation of the cornea, caused by the presence of the Acanthamoeba parasite. The disease, which predominately affects the cornea, can cause blindness in a victim and be difficult to treat as medication does not always work.

Although the CDC quickly linked the disease with the contact lens solution, AMO also quickly voluntarily recalled the solutions and advised users of the recent connection, recommending that the Moisture Plus solution be discarded.

Unsafe Contact Lens Solution?

Additionally, AMO has had contamination issues of its contact lens solutions prior to the latest recall.

In November 2006, AMO instituted a lens solution recall of 2.9 million units of the same Moisture Plus contact lens solution, after contamination was detected within the production line at a Chinese factory. Though the two lens solutions recalls do not appear related, the repeated contamination concerns related to the company have lead many to wonder about AMO’s safety record and their liability in any possible Moisture Plus lawsuit. While no litigation has been presented against AMO for the alleged tainted Moisture Plus contact lens solution recall, it may be advisable that individuals who were affected by the recall contact an experienced attorney.

English speakers, help?

Could someone, please, explain me the sentence ”A cast iron case does not exist. All business conflicts involve downsides”. These sentences come from the text about litigation, conflict solution in court

“Cast iron” literally refers to the kind of black iron you see used in railings and decorative objects.

But figuratively it means something which is solid and unbreakable. A “cast iron case” here is a legal case which is impenetrable, which can’t lose. The sentence says there’s no such thing. There is always a possibility of losing. There is always a weak point, always a way the facts can be presented so that a judge can rule against you.

Warez and the Crack Factor of Internet Piracy Can Piracy Law Stop Crack Addiction?

 

Warez often originates from hackers that crack a code for the thrill of the challenge. But “crackers,†those in the hacker world who crack and profit from software piracy, have capitalized on the efforts of hackers and their cracked codes – successfully building a billion dollar international underground economy. This underground community of “cracker†pirates thrives on international software and Internet piracy.

Litigators, copyright holders, and media giants are working together with law enforcement agencies to beat down the doors of the pirates’ virtual underground warehouses. New copyright laws and international piracy treaties are on the table at nations across the world, awaiting rewritten code to revitalize current piracy laws and keep up with the swift currents of Internet technology. FBI operations go undercover by names such as the 2001 Operation Buccaneer, Operation Bandwidth, and Digital Piratez, and the more recent Operation Site Down, Operation Copycat, Operation Jolly Roger and Operation Fast Link. Warez Operation Buccaneer resulted in 58 search warrants worldwide – which was the “largest†crackdown of 2001. Operation Bandwidth corralled the pirates by setting up a fake warez software piracy website. The Digital Piratez operation resulted in only 9 warrants. This was just the beginning of the Warez crackdown and the FBI’s foray into the world of crack addiction.

The warez pirates continue to circumvent the piracy laws that are on the verge of crumbling down their underground economy. As they continue their overseas pirating escapades – so to does the FBI continue their undercover operations. A 2008 United States Department of Justice report summarizes the statistics of the warez operations Sitedown and Fastlink – which resulted in 108 felony convictions, confiscation of over one-hundred million dollars worth of pirated software, and 200 search warrants that traveled to over 15 countries. Far more than the 58 search warrants that served the pirates of 2001. In 2007, there were 217 intellectual property cases filed. Letters from hackers under investigation litter the Internet – warning their co-conspirators to “get out†before it’s too late.

The FBI wasn’t alone in the warez crackdown operations. Fifteen countries assisted the US in their search for warez piracy. Suppliers who supply the hardware to a warez website, Scripters who help build a website, Brokers who develop active groups, and Encoders who overwrite the copyright protection, have all been held liable in federal court. Charges included not only copyright infringement, but also conspiracy to commit copyright infringement, circumventing copyright infringement and trafficking illegal goods.

Piracy law will continue to gain attention by law enforcement agencies and warez pirates. The US House unanimously approved the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act which allows for current federal law to be rewritten for liberal seizure procedures and the creation of a position for a presidentially appointed U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement Representative. It also creates a new division in the Department of Justice for intellectual property enforcement and ten positions within embassies. Internet piracy is being tracked daily by the feds. But the heat won’t be putting out the pirates completely anytime soon.

The warez scene is addictive. Hackers live for the challenge of cracking a code – even if there isn’t any financial gain. Warez groupies get a rush from seeing how fast a cracked file can start spreading like wildfire. Pirates that serve international traffickers prey on these addictions – offering slick trades of expensive hardware and digital ware that feeds the warez scene. Piracy laws are building up strength to fight billions of dollars of intellectual property theft and copyright infringement. But they are also fighting an addiction. And addictions can skew perceptions. The hackers and crackers of the warez scene might not see the reality of piracy law until the Feds come knocking at their door. Reality will then strike as hard as the clang of iron bars.

Enterprise Database Management

Growing data volumes and increases in regulatory compliance are requiring enterprises to evaluate their data management strategies and implement scalable solutions that solve today’s challenges. Enterprise data management must also integrate into a company’s existing application infrastructure and provide the means to manage data growth while maintaining referential integrity of the application.

Organic Data Growth
E-Business applications have given organization the ability to capture, analyze and retain unparalleled amounts of data about its business, customers, and suppliers. But with these systems are capturing potentially millions of transactions on a daily basis. Over time, data growth is exponential and needs to be actively managed for long term success. By many accounts, stored data in databases is doubling every other year. In addition to the daily capture of information, mergers and acquisitions are putting pressure on IT organizations to support and manage new IT systems. For industries such as High Technology and Financial Services that tend to grow through mergers, acquisition data growth can far exceed the expected organic growth rate.

Downstream Data Growth
Database applications, unlike email and file servers, require multiple copies of production systems to support test and development efforts such as creating versions for patch, test, QA, training and possibly a stand-by copy for disaster recovery purposes. On average, for every production application, IT makes eight copies for production support. As the production database grows, so do all the copies, consuming large quantities of storage. When an application or database needs to be upgraded, additional copies are required to reduce risk associated with the upgrade process. Many times, the need for storage by the database administrators (DBAs) exceeds the allocated storage and storage consumption forecasts. CIOs and IT directors struggle to reduce costs of infrastructure while keeping mission-critical database applications online, operational and current. On average, IT data centers manage at least six mission-critical applications. Multiply the number of applications by the number of copies (6 apps x 8 copies = 42 total) to meet the storage requirement, plus the servers required to support each copy, and the power to support the entire infrastructure, it is no surprise that more than 70 percent of IT budgets are allocated to the database applications even though only 20 percent of the production data is database data. Analysts estimate that email and unstructured content represents approximately 80 percent of production data.

Data Retention Requirements
Corporate policies, Government and regulatory bodies are driving data retention. For example, Healthcare data retention requirements can range from 10 years for patient records to permanent data storage for births and deaths. Sarbanes-Oxley requires corporate financial data be retained for 5 years and under Basel II, Banks needs 7 years of risk data to meet their capital requirements. These regulations were developed to ensure a proper financial and operational record of the business but put a burden on all organizations to not only retain the data but maintain accessibility. Without enterprise data management strategies, organizations will not be able to meet the requirements placed on them, and not being able to produce records is no longer a defensible strategy in regulatory actions or litigation.

Impact of Growth
The expectation of web-based enterprise applications is near instantaneous access. Unchecked data growth can affect all areas of the organization, making it impossible to fully utilize CRM, ERP, or SCM, applications, decreasing productivity and potentially impacting business performance.

Performance
Large volumes of data in the production system slow application response time and reporting processes, especially during critical times such as quarter or year-end close. The net effect of slow response times and limited reporting capability means information needed to make business decisions is limited.

Maintenance and Storage
Maintaining large database applications add complexity, risk and cost to the business. More time is needed to perform routine back-up and maintenance activities. Additionally, large databases require more storage in production and the back-office to create the multiple clones needed for test and development processes. Even though storage and CPU costs are falling, data growth will still tax the IT infrastructure beyond the ability of hardware upgrades to negate them.

Enterprise Data Management
Enterprise Data Management is a proven strategy to manage database growth in an organization. By classifying data according to its value to organization, data that needs to be highly availably can be left in the production server, while underutilized, less valuable data can be moved to more efficient, Tier 2 or lower storage tiers.

Data Archiving
With data archiving, organizations can create and deploy consistent policies for managing, securing and storing data. The result is improved application performance and availability by reallocating under-utilized or inactive data from the production database into a secure online or offline data archive. Ideally, organizations maintain access through the native enterprise application layer to ensure seamless data access for near and long term reporting requirements.

Strategy for Growth
Data growth is inevitable in any growing organization but deploying enterprise data management tools and strategies give organizations the ability to stay ahead of data growth and achieve higher application performance and lower IT costs.

Is Outsourcing a Strategic Management Option: Find Out How?

The concept of outsourcing dates to early eighties when larger business houses started hiring their non core functions to outsourced companies. Most of the outsourced companies were specialized in providing particular service,product or function. These outsourced companies would take in charge of the functions which were to be outsourced.

Outsourcing in literal sense means sourcing from offshore business houses. It refers to sub- contracting of non core aspects of the business to a third party vendor. It can also be said that, outsourcing is a sort of arrangement in which one company hires another company which can take charge of their in-house services. Outsourcing can range from large contracts like managing the IT support services of the client, to the general trend of hiring contractors and office workers on individual basis. Generally, the non-core aspects of the business are outsourced.

Some common examples of outsourcing include IT support services, telemarketing services, manufacturing components,order processing, phone answering services and customer support services.

Types of outsourcing:

Outsourcing can be divided into two broad categories. These are Business process outsourcing( BPO) and Knowledge Process Outsourcing( KPO)

Business process outsourcing( BPO): This term was coined in the year 1995 and was accelerated by the expansion of Internet business. It is the process of hiring a service provider which would handle the business activities of the client company.

These are some of the common BPO services which are outsourced :Back office functions ,

IT help desk services, Accounting services, Human resource services, Customer support services,Telemarketing,Database management,Web development,Content writing, Market research ,Manufacturing and many others .

Knowledge Process Outsourcing( KPO): This is also known as technology outsourcing services. This can be defined as a high value added process chain which depends on factors like skills, experience and domain knowledge. Generally KPO is carried out by people who have certain expertise in that particular area.

KPO typically involves the component of Business process outsourcing( KPO), Analysis process outsourcing( APO) and Research process outsourcing( RPO)

Some of the common KPO services are :Animation ans simulation services,Intellectual property research,Business and technical analysis,Litigation services, Research and development,Learning solutions,Medical services,Data analytics,Network management,Software development and many others,

Benefits of outsourcing:

Some of the benefits gained through outsourcing are as follows:

*It provides opportunities to focus on core business operations

* Helps to reduce human resource management costs.

*Provides access to specialized resources as per requirement

*Organized project management, refinement of risk management and service delivery abilities

* Better implementation of demand management and support operations

*Efficiency in process management and service deliveries

*Improved customer satisfaction which helps in customer retention.

*Advantages of time zones. This enables the client to work faster and gives a competitive edge to his business.

Today, outsourcing market is seen to be one of the strategic management option, rather than just a mere cost cutting operation. It is estimated to grow in near future, as increasing number of companies are planning to outsource their high as well as low end jobs to offshore destinations. It helps offshore companies to have cutting-edge in their business worldwide.

Pre-Settlement Funding – Litigation Financing Is An Option

Due to the recent downturn of the economy, pre settlement funding is being requested by clients at a staggering rate.  As the state of the economy worsens, this number is likely to climb even higher.  People are finding themselves short on money for bills and other necessities, and are looking at pre settlement funding as a way to lighten their burden.

Accidents often result in personal injury or property damage, sometimes resulting in the loss of wages or sales revenues.  When you decide to file a lawsuit, it can be very time consuming, sometimes taking years before it is finally resolved.  This puts clients in an awkward position, because they sometimes do not receive any compensation until they win the case, or it is settled out of court.  Lawsuit funding provides the client and their attorney cash while waiting for the case to be settled.

Litigation financing companies are becoming increasingly popular within the legal industry because so many clients need assistance while waiting for their lawsuit to be settled.  If you are contemplating filing a lawsuit and don’t completely understand these terms, this information will give you a clearer picture of how pre settlement funding works.

Once you decide to file a lawsuit, your attorney may advise you to contact a litigation financing company. This happens frequently, especially when the client files against a large company or corporation with large financial backing.  Big corporations aren’t usually short on money, and they realize that the longer they can drag out your case, the more likely you are to settle for less money.

When a litigation financing company funds you with the money you need, it is not considered a loan.  Pre settlement funding is an arrangement between the lending company and the plaintiff.  When you, as the plaintiff, borrow money it is with the understanding that if you win your case, you will repay the funding company an agreed upon amount.  If you lose, the money will never have to be repaid.

When you hire an attorney, it is normal to pay a contingency fee.  This fee is usually a percentage of the winnings, and if you do win your case the attorney is the first person to receive compensation.  You, as the client, will receive the rest of the money if you do win your case.  If you do decide on pre-settlement funding, your attorney will be paid his portion of the proceeds before the litigation finance company receives theirs.

Companies who provide lawsuit funding take the risk of losing money.  They realize that if the client loses their case, they will not be paid back the money that was funded to the client.  Litigation finance companies know that this could be the outcome when they offer lawsuit funding to clients.

If you have or are considering filing a lawsuit but are afraid you don’t have the money to do so, discuss pre-settlement funding with your attorney.

How difficult is it to obtain a career in medical billing/coding?

I’ve been doing data entry from home for a litigation support company for 5 years but would like to expand into the medical field of billing/coding because the legal work isn’t constant enough. How much school is necessary to get a degree in medical billing/coding and how easy is it to get a job in this field?

If you have data entry experience, then taking a course in medical coding may be all you need.

There are lots of medical coding jobs out there. (It’s part of what’s wrong with our whole health industry. The administrative and paperwork overhead is weighing down the whole thing.)

*ahem* Sorry about the soapbaxing there. Yes, there are lots of jobs in the field. See if there are classes in medical coding. An entire degree is not necessary, but if you’re not expereinced in it, you’ll need a little training.

What are good brands of software to use to learn the legal profession?

I want everything from legal document software for LDA’s to getting higher LSAT scores to getting knowledge about law legal research and being prepared for law school and Litigation as well as learning specific like california law etc

Don’t bother wasting your time trying to learn law before law school. Law school is the time and place to learn the law. To ensure a high LSAT score, use LSAT study guides.

A lawyer spends all his time writing, reading, and talking. To get a good heads up for law school and your chosen career, do everything you can that will help you write, read, and talk.

Take writing classes so that you are comfortable writing a lot, read a wide variety of material because lawyers need to know what is going on, and join Toastmasters so that you are comfortable speaking to others, individually and to groups.

Legal Case Management & Dps Software (document Processing Systems Software) Can Save the Planet – “less Paper Please – Save the Planet”

The problem with paper is that it is simply too expensive to handle. Posting, printing, filing, copying it for others, expenses we can all do without. The beauty of paperless systems is that files of information can be held in a central place and looked at by anyone you want to look at them. Taking files home to work on them has to become a thing of the past. Did you know that avoiding printing copies of emails can save thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions every year? Did you know that a 10% decrease in paper post worldwide saves millions of tonnes of carbon emissions every year? So why do we continue to post bills, cards, letters, brochures that have to flown, driven, and walked to their destinations every year? There is no two ways about it we need to develop systems that make using screen based files as easy as using paper files, where the, file can be searched easily and quickly and where the file contains all the information that we need. Not only does the software need to be developed but we as users have to be become comfortable using them. Case management has been in the legal market for years serving applications such as Conveyancing, Personal Injury, Probate, Criminal Billing and general litigation so well. A typical personal injury transaction can generate over 10,000 pages of documentation, this has to be stored, copies, distributed. This is all massive expense the case management software can avoid.

This type of software now has to focus on paper based systems outside the legal market. Accountants, Doctors, small businesses all store paper based files and they account for a huge number of documents that could be stored electronically. If we adopt these changes then we benefit not only ourselves but all our successors on the planet and in our own small technological way help avert the disaster of climate change.

One of the biggest culprits when it come to paper storage is MS Outlook™ it accumulates so much information which is passed from one person to another and each person in an attempt to store it may print it out. The problem is then multiplied many times. The solution is we believe a case management system, however the problem is in Outlook™ it would seem that the answer is to put the case management into Outlook. Microsoft have for some time urged developers to push their products into Outlook as add ins and some manufacturers of legal case management systems have done exactly that. The knock on benefits are enormous in that users that know and ‘love’ Outlook are instantly familiar and need little training to use the new systems, they can relate to a file being inside Outlook as they are already there. Since Outlook is part of the email solution, and integrated to the phone using TAPI, the file being stored inside outlook is a natural extension. Some software houses have gone further and integrated digital dictation into Outlook as well meaning that the solution becomes a complete communications centre. The point is that we all need to make a contribution to saving the planet and if that contribution can also save use money, time, make out lives easier then saving the planet became more attractive all of a sudden!

Software Litigation

software litigation
What is a typical day like for a non-litigation lawyer?

It seems like they must be doing a lot of paperwork. Filing motions and stuff.. But I hear they have paralegals ect to do that for them. So what does a real estate atorney or enviromental lawyer do all day?
Im considering a career change, but I want to feel like my time is spent doing things that are productive and important. Right now Im a software developer, but 90% of my time is spent on nonsense: going to unnecessary meetings, filling out request forms, writing documentation that will never be read.. I need something more worthwhile to do with my life.

So basically what you’re saying is, what do lawyers do if they aren’t in court I assume. There can be a lot of litigation in real estate and environmental law. Real estate lawyers can spend a lot of their time reviewing and/or drawing up complicated land sale contracts and transactions (e.g. dotting i’s and adding magical legalese like “time is of the essence”). But they can also spend a great deal of time litigating if there is a land or contract dispute. (The majority of cases I have to read in my contracts class involve some type of land dispute.) Many times, real estate agents draw up land sales contracts so the only time they will need a lawyer is if things get sticky and something might need to be litigated or there is a complicated land contract that needs to be made specifically for the clients needs like the sales of skyscrapers, hotels, large tracts of land, etc.

Environmental lawyers might spend a lot of time writing up drafts of bills that they would like their state representative to submit to the legislature. They also might spend a lot of time researching and dealing with tort claims arising out of environmental problems (like in the movies, “Erin Brokovich,” and “A Civil Action”).

Other things that lawyers do other than litigation is meeting with clients, drawing up complaints and petitions, discussing settlement deals with the other parties, writing demand letters, research, preparing memos and briefs, doing depositions, etc.

Extranets for Litigators

Over the past few years, the use of extranets and intranets by law firms to share critical documents with co-workers, clients and co-counsel has been firmly established.

One area in which an extranet is particularly useful is in litigation, where a large number of parties require a massive number of documents over a fixed period of time.

Keeping things organized
An extranet provides a single location dedicated to the individual case. Access to documents can be defined by the need of the user. For example, documents relating to clients are very different than those required by co-counsel. An extranet allows everything to reside in one place, but access can be defined by individual needs. It also automates alerts – so that users know the instant a new document has been posted, and can find it quickly in a dedicated folder.

Many extranets go beyond the simple sharing of documents. Many include tools such as a comment function, calendars, project trackers, and approval functions. These tools can be used to report on the all activities and on the progress of the case.

Providing a permanent record
All actions taken within the extranet are recorded, and most extranets provide powerful search tools that allow users to quickly see who did what, and when they did it. All actions are name and date stamped, providing a complete record of activity in what is often a fast moving environment where documentation is difficult to manage.

Easy to setup and use
Extranets that are offered by application service providers can be created and used in a matter of days. It’s a simple matter of subscribing to a service that provides all the technology and training. Many are so intuitive that they require no training at all – they’re as easy to use as email.

A secure environment
Managing legal documents requires the highest level of security. Extranets require an id and password for access, and many provide encryption of all transmissions.

And when the case is over . . .
It is fast and easy to close the extranet and download all of the information. Often, litigators will create an extranet for each case they handle, and simply close it at the conclusion of the case.
