Is there a new norm due to a mad killer on the loose? People are dieing and as a result remote working because of COVID-19 may becoming the norm. But why? This is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It's caused by a virus called coronavirus. But what the heck is it and how do you know if you have it?<br />
<br />

Symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are a cough, a high temperature and shortness of breath. Simple measures like washing your hands often with soap and water can help slow or possibly even stop viruses like coronavirus (COVID-19) spreading.</div>
<div class="condAcc_para" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
The bad news is that prevention is important because there’s no specific treatment for coronavirus (COVID-19).Treatment is palliative in nature and designed only to relieve the symptoms until you recover or die. It's not a pleasant thought. No one known exactly how coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads from person to person, but similar viruses are spread in cough droplets. The same is probably true for this killer.</div>

Former NBA star, Lamar Odom has a secret. Only, it is not really a secret. Odom was previously married to Khloe Kardashian. However, the couple allegedly split up after allegations of cheating surfaced. Why did the couple split? Odom recently went public and admits that he has quite a sexual history. In Odom's new memoir, <em>Darkness to Light, </em>he admits to being a<em> sex addict.</em><br />
<em><br /></em>
"I am a sex addict...I have been obsessed with sex for as long as I can remember," Odom writes in excerpts published <a data-rapid_p="5" data-v9y="1" href="https://people.com/tv/lamar-odom-reveals-he-had-sex-with-over-2000-women/" target="_blank">by <em>People</em></a>. Odom is only 39 years-old. Nevertheless, he claims that he has slept with more than 2,000 women some of whom he paid for the
sexual encounters. Depending where he paid for the encounters, he may have admitted to one or more crimes. Talk about an admission against interest.<br />
<br />
Regardless of the actual number or potential to have admitted to a crime, Odom should seek some serious healthcare consultant, and we don't mean a surrogate.

At least 48 people were shot at in New Zealand by 28-year-old, Brenton Tarrant. Worse yet, Tarrant videoed the shooting at the mosques live, in real time. Tarrant, today, has been charged with murder.</div>

Three other people were taken into custody. It is unclear what if any role they played in aiding the murderer. Tarrant is an extremist with an axe to grind against immigrants. Most of the victims were immigrants. Tarrant<span style="font-size: 13.1px;"> published a 74-page anti-immigrant manifesto prior to the attack explaining why he was going to attack the immigrants. Tarrant claims he was inspired by Norwegian shooter Anders Breivik. Idiots of a feather, flock together...</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Teachers rarely choose education as a means to money.
Generally speaking, they are overworked and under paid. Nevertheless,
teachers sign contracts like everyone else, they make choices as to where they
wish to work. When one chooses to work for a private Catholic school, one
does so under the agreement that their rules will be followed. Families
at St. Peter and Paul Catholic School in Miami, Florida, are disappointed after
the firing of teacher Jocelyn Morffi. Morffi was a 32 year-old teacher
who was well liked by both students and parents. For example, Jocelyn Morffi
was instrumental in setting up a volunteer program at the local homeless
shelter. Parents and students volunteered both time and talent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">While on personal leave from
school, Jocelyn got married to another woman. When the Catholic school
found out about the same sex marriage from social media photos, they terminated
Morffi's employment contract. (Same sex marriage being contrary to Catholicism,
the School felt it had no option other than to terminate Morffi's
employment. <strong style="text-align: center;">Jocelyn
wrote on her social media account: </strong></span><strong><i><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: 13.5pt;">“This weekend I married the love of my
life and unfortunately I was terminated from my job as a result. In their eyes,
I’m not the right kind of Catholic for my choice in partner.”</span></i></strong><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
</span></b><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">The law recognizes that
Catholic schools have a right to enter contractual agreements consistent with
their beliefs. According to the Catholic school board, Morffi
violated her contract and thus had to be terminated. Fortunately for Morffi,
the public school system has no such rules.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Outrageous post designed to generate publicity? Nope! You couldn't make this stuff up even if you tried. Times are changing but not as fast as technology. The Japanese have created robots so similar to human's that sex orientated businesses want to cash in. Some of the so called moral majority want to end such practices before they get started. Suddenly Houston, a progressive city, is thrust into the national spotlight. Mayor Sylvester Turner wants the City Council to modify Houston's rules on sexually oriented businesses in order to prevent a "robot brothel" from opening. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "robotoregular" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><br />
<br />
The move will not be unopposed. Toronto company, KinkySdollS previously announced the plan to open the Houston branch where "adult love dolls" constructed of synthetic skin would be available "to rent before" purchase. As the storefront was being constructed, City inspectors shut it down claiming the Richmond and Chimney Rock location did not have the proper permits. The Houston City Council must now decide if the sexually oriented business regulations will permanently bar the opening of the store. Strip clubs have been barred from operating within 1,500 feet of schools, churches, daycares, parks and residential areas. Council members such as Mike Laster want to do the same with the robot business since the proposed store is close to Anderson Park. <span style="color: red;"><b><i>"District J deserves better"</i></b></span> is the repeated battle cry.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Adult "arcade device" is a tricky definition to comprehend but it likely will be construed to include more than peep shows. The dolls cost $4,000, a steep price for most. Thus the appeal for rental of the anthropomorphic machines. While sales will may be permitted, the ban of the storefront and rental will clearly hurt KinkySDollS if the City of Houston is successful. ...................................... </div>

(Bridget, pictured above is $3,200. KinkySdollS website says: they are the "first Adult Love Dolls Rent before you buy service in North America. We offer a unique service for those looking for a companion." )</div>

<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">Pink Floyd warned teachers to "Leave them kids alone;" however, perhaps he should have directed his warning toward priests. A Pennsylvania grand jury report apparently identifies more than 300 "predator priests" who allegedly molested children in six dioceses. Even worse, it </span><span style="font-size: 14.4px;">accuses the Catholic church of trying to cover up the abuse. The report was generated as a result of a massive investigation of clergy sexual abuse. If it is to be believed, the past has been corrupted with </span><span style="font-size: 14.4px;">widespread sexual abuse by clergy and concealment of the problem. Allegations were considered that pertained to the dioceses </span><span style="font-size: 14.4px;">that serve more than half the state's 3.2 million Catholics.</span></div>

The report apparently <span style="font-size: 14.4px;">identifies more than 300 "predator priests." The report also accuses the Catholic church leaders of ignoring victims in order to protect the church. A redacted version of the report over 850 pages in length is available to the public. Legal Pub cautions that all accused are to be considered innocent unless otherwise proved in court (or the fires of hell.) In the meantime, can children be treated like more than "just another brick in the wall?" </span></div>

is a game changer! The Golden State Killer was a serial killer stopped
in his tracks by DNA. The GSK, otherwise known as 72 year-old Joseph James DeAngelo Jr., was recently fingered for serial murders based upon sophisticated DNA
technology. DeAngelo may be tried for as many as 12 murders and 46 rapes that occurred over a time span of 1976 to 1986 in the California area. DeAngelo may never have been caught in the absence of advancement in DNA analysis. Similarly, the Grim Sleeper, another deranged
individual, was allegedly caught because of DNA left on a slice of pizza.<br />

</div>
Now we turn to our most recent miraculous DNA fingering in Indiana where Johnny Miller joins the list of accused based on DNA
analysis. Miller allegedly confessed to raping and strangling April
Tinsley in 1988. Tinsley was only 8-years-old. Apparently, Millers's
DNA was left on April's body as well as on threatening notes he used to
taunt authorities. CeCe Moore, a genealogist, allegedly helped track
down Miller as a probable suspect. Similar techniques are used to help
an adoptee track down his or her natural parents. Using public data
bases, a family tree can be used to locate a person's identity based
upon age, physical traits, and location.<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Fort
Wayne Police and Indiana State Police detectives had John D. Miller
under surveillance at his mobile home in the 13700 block of Main Street
in Grabill. Contrary to so<span style="background-color: white;"></span>me of the poster's theories, he lived alone.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: black;">On
July 6, police secretly collected trash from Miller’s residence which
included three used condoms. Indiana State Police Laboratory analyzed
for DNA. On July 9, Indiana State Police lab confirmed that the DNA
profile extracted from the condoms in Miller’s trash matched the DNA
profiles of the condoms found in 2004 and the DNA found in Tinsley’s
underwear. Game over. Fort Wayne Police Det. Brian Martin and Indiana
State Police Det. Clint Hetrick arrested Miller at his home. When p<span style="background-color: white;">olice
asked him if he knew why they wanted to talk with him, Miller
reportedly said, “April Tinsley.”</span></span></span></span></b><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<br />
The Zodiac
Killer, accused of killing many in the Northern California region
remains at large. Given the increasing popularity of "familial DNA" and
public websites, it is only a matter of time before law enforcement
will have access to almost everyone's DNA. Gven the advances of DNA
forensics, this Zodiac Killer psycho will likely be apprehended soon.<br />

<i>Prior to his arrest, Minassian lived in Richmond Hill a suburb of Toronto. The heinous actions of Minassian apparently injured 15 people along with killing another ten. Many of the victims have yet to be identified. One of the first of the deceased identified was beautiful Anne Marie D'Amico who worked at Invesco, an investment management company. D'Amico also volunteered on a humanitarian housing project in developing countries. </i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 28px;">
<i>It is unknown whether Minassian knew any of the victims or what the hell he was thinking when he killed these innocent people. Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders was unwilling to speculate about a motive. However, he labeled Minassian's actions as "deliberate." Other anonymous sources suggest that the accused was a social misfit like mass murderer "Elliot Rodger" who was routinely rejected by women. Others simply suggest that he was a loner. </i></div>

When will the madness stop? Shooting up a school is a cowardly way to deal with one's problems. Great Mills High School is the latest to experience a shooting. The school security guard shot and killed an armed student who shot two other students. St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron <span style="font-size: 1.2rem;">said the school resource officer shot the assailant in a hallway just before classes began. The shooter was armed with a handgun. </span><span style="font-size: 1.2rem;">The gunman was pronounced dead, and the officer was not injured. A male student, 14, is in stable condition. Unfortunately, a 16 year-old female student, is in critical condition. </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: CNN, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.2rem;">Suddenly the news is no longer shocking. After all, this is the 17th school shooting in the United States since January 1! When does the madness stop? This involved a pistol, not an assault rifle. There does not appear to be an easy way to educate young people that this is not an appropriate way to solve problems. A shooter of unarmed students is not a hero. Seeking counseling. Seek help. After that, if you still need to end your own life, end it without harming others. Perhaps then you will be properly mourned. But to end your life as a murderer is not only a waste of your life, it is a waste of </span><span style="font-size: 19.2px;">humanity</span><span style="font-size: 1.2rem;">. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"><span style="color: #222222;">More specifically, Section 4 of the 1967 amendment, allows for the vice
president plus a majority of either a president's Cabinet or Congress to
transmit to the Senate president pro tempore and the House speaker </span><span style="color: red; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"their
written declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and
duties of his office." </span>A sitting U.S. president may; however, inform the</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.5pt;"> Senate president pro tempore and House
speaker that no such inability exists. The president would then remain in office unless the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet
or Congress provides those members of Congress with a written
declaration that the president is still unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. This puts the matter before Congress.</span></div>

Furthermore, nothing in </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 19.3333px;">the 25th Amendment contains a means to prevent a sitting president from firing Cabinet members who feel he is unfit to serve.

Will Roy Moore drop out of the Senate race? Probably not since he is not a quitter. But this is the Democrats chance to prevent the Republicans from advancing their agenda and Doug Jones thinks he can win and he is not alone. <span style="color: red; font-style: italic;"> “This
is our only opportunity, we need to seize it.” </span>said more than one Democrat when discussing the race between Republican Roy S. Moore and the Democrat Doug Jones. Roy Moore has always been controversial. Now he has been accused of numerous unwanted advances toward numerous young women and
girls, one as young as 14. The Birmingham News on Sunday ran a front page headline: <span style="color: red;"><i>“Stand for Decency, Reject Roy Moore.”</i></span></div>

Doug Jones is trying to capture the black vote and moderate white Republicans who are disappointed against the alleged conduct of Moore.
Mr. Jones’s is ahead even in counties that voted
65 percent or more for President Trump. The
path to victory for Mr. Jones includes capturing Shelby County voter support. But some of the voters may resist the switch in party affiliation. <i><span style="color: red;">“I question why these allegations didn't come out during the primary if they were true," </span></i> exclaimed one potential voter to Legal Pub. In the end, voters need to decide if the allegations warrant the Republicans from losing the Senate.</div>

<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="264" data-total-count="4692">
To demonstrate what a large victory this would be, consider that the Democrats did not even put up a nominee
for the United States Senate seat that Mr. Jones seems destined to capture. Polls have Jones leading by 10%. If this holds true, chalk one up for the power of the press in helping the Democrats recapture a Senate seat.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is not unique to Tennessee. Nino's tale is common in all parts of the country. The simple truth is that humans sometimes exercise poor judgment when it comes to their pets. We have all heard of the story of animals being left in a hot car. These stories almost garner as much attention as the death of a child locked in a hot car. Well, Nino's story is similar but it occurs in a back yard.</span><br />

Authorities discovered that Nino was in bad condition and his survival doubtful. He was literally skin and bones with no visible fat. In sum, Nino was nearly starved to death. Fortunately, he was taken into the care of the Memphis Animal Services and is now doing well. The good news is that his appetite, sleep and stamina have returned to normal. .</span></span></div>

Apparently, his time on this earth is about to end. Chris Gard and Connie Yates, parents of little Charlie Gard are ending the legal fight to obtain treatment. The legal battle has lasted five months and in the eyes of the parents, "a whole lot of time has been wasted." In the couples view, the time it has taken to decide the matter in the courtroom has caused irreparable damage and that the chances for recovery are now nil. The parents were admirably represented by barrister, <b>Grant Armstrong</b>. The latest medical reports show irreparable damage to the the muscle tissue of and organs of the infant. The couple hope to set up a foundation in Charlie's name that might help similarly situated children.<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">Four young men have mysteriously disappeared within days
of each other in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Are the disappearances
related? If so who is responsible? While Police don't have all of
the answers, they do suspect foul play. Authorities also believe there is
a connection between the disappearances. But what? So far the police have
shared very little specifics with the public.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">We know that 19-year-old college student, Jimi
Patrick, was reported missing last Wednesday. Two days later, Dean Finocchiaro,
18, got into a friend's car and no one has heard from Dean in days. Shortly
thereafter, 22-year-old Mark Sturgis and 21-year-old Tom Meo, failed to
report to their jobs. Fortunately a cellphone ping associated with Dean
led authorities to search a farm owned by Cosmo DiNardo. In close
proximity, Meo's car was found in a shack. DiNardo was charged with a gun
related charge and is being held on one million dollar bond. (He has not
been charged with the disappearance of the men.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. What does
DiNardo know about the missing men? If he has shared anything with the
police, they are not telling the public. But, a million dollar bond seems
to send a message that authorities think he knows something about these men.
Nevertheless, all suspects and persons of interest are presumed innocent
unless otherwise proven in a court of law. Stay tuned.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Somethings are just plain gross. What we know is that Deborah Jeanneret, age 50, was stabbed to death and her body was found under a mattress. Carl Bustard is accused of murder; however, he denies the crime and claims he has an alibi. Co-defendant Tammie Lewis is alleged to be an accomplice to the homicide. Bustard's attorney said in court, <b><i><span style="color: red;">"My client was not anywhere near the scene where the homicide allegedly took place.” </span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></i></b>
Jeanneret, the victim, and her
roommate were allowing Tammie Lewis to live in their residence. However, Bustard who was a friend of Lewis was not welcome in the home. According to probable cause information, Lewis allegedly told police that Jeanneret struck Bustard on the top of his head when he refused to her residence. Bustard then allegedly retaliated by stabbing Jeanneret. According to Lewis, Bustard allegedly forced her to clean up the mess and help hide Jeanneret's body under a mattress. The body was apparently discovered almost a week later by a roommate and reported in a 911 call. <span style="color: blue;"><b>(Can you imagine the smell!)</b></span><br />
<br />
Bustard was apprehended in Marysville. In his car, police found nitrile gloves, bleach and an enhanced driver’s license. Busard’s attorney explained that her client had just returned from a road trip with family and had not been in Everett the day of the murder. She further argued that the gloves and bleach were for cleaning a boat. The enhanced
driver’s license was for a trip to Canada.<br />
Nevertheless, the judge found probable cause and set bond at $5 million for Busard. Lewis is held on $250,000 bond.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Both Bustard and Lewis are both presumed innocent unless otherwise proven in a court of law!</b></span><br />

Melissa Smith is a reluctant car enthusiast. It appears that she chose to risk her life in order to save her SUV. In reality, she confronted a would-be car thief because she was in a "I'm not dealing with this sort of crap today" attitude. That is the reason Melissa <span style="font-size: 1.2rem;">jumped on her vehicle's hood and refused to get off until the carjacker gave up.</span></div>

Steve Stephens, 37, is another idiot. He may at one time been a nice kind man, but all that goes out the window after he murdered 74-year-old Robert Godwin and then showed the video on FaceBook. Stephens is attempting to shift the blame for his action on a "woman." Stephens may have a bad former girlfriend, but that is no reason to kill someone. Stephens is not the first to be jilted by a lover nor will he be the last. A broken heart is never a reason to kill. (Stephens claims he has killed several people; however, only one murder has been confirmed.) Cleveland police were appalled by Stephens posting a video of the killing on Facebook which was apparently seen by millions.</div>

Are one in four childhood deaths attributable to smog, unsafe water and other environmental hazards?<br />

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported findings that suggest pollution is a major factor in 25% of the deaths of children. <a href="http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2017/pollution-child-death/en/">Report</a>. Logic suggests that a polluted environment has a disparate affect on children's health. <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/01/smog-havoc-in-china/">Pollution</a>. Second hand smoke, smog and unsafe water are thought to be related to as much as 25% of the deaths of children
under age five. <b><span style="color: red;"><i>"[Young children's]
developing organs and immune systems, and smaller bodies and airways,
make them especially vulnerable to dirty air and water,"</i></span> </b>said WHO
Director-General Margaret Chan.<br />

Statistics suggest that 570,000 children
died with respiratory infections like pneumonia that were attributable to second-hand smoke and/or pollution. Data suggests that 361,000 were killed by diarrhea attributable to unclean water and/or improper sanitation. 270,000 premature infants died in their
first month. A significant percentage of this group was also adversely effected by unclear water
and air.<br />
<br />
WHO indicates that electronic waste that exposes children to mercury, lead and other
toxins also kills children. Climate change which has increased pollen counts may also be <span style="color: red;">"associated with increased
rates of asthma in children,"</span> according to WHO. Assuming these statistics are correct, who is going to step up and stop this silent killer?<br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: CNN, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.2rem;">President Trump will nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. But will he be confirmed? Judge </span></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: CNN, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2rem;">Gorsuch is a 49-year-old federal appellate judge from Colorado. By nominee standards, he is very young. In theory, this would provide the court with a conservative view for many years to come. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: CNN, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;">Gorsuch believes in freedom of religion, the ending of federal funds for contraceptives and a separation of powers between the states and federal government. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: CNN, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2rem;">Consequently, </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: CNN, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.2rem;">Senate Democrats will likely </span><span style="font-size: 19.2px;">filibuster to attempt to block his nomination.

<div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: CNN, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2rem;">During the campaign, Donald Trump said he would "find the very best judge in the country for the Supreme Court." Voters thought this was the most important issue facing the country. Gridlock has caused the Supreme Court to function using only </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: CNN, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2rem;">eight justices since Justice Antonin Scalia's death. If confirmed, Gorsuch has similar views to Justice Scalia and therefore some stability would be preserved. (This would consist of four conservatives, four liberals and Justice Anthony Kennedy as a moderate.) </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: CNN, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.2rem;">So, should he be confirmed?

abused over a three-month span by their parents in a home that allegedly had no
heat. The four and five year old had
bruises consistent with physical abuse.
The children were under weight and appeared to be suffering from
malnutrition. There were apparently
10 individuals living in the Weyant household.
The six year old boy sported an abrasion near the eye which allegedly came
from his father throwing him across the floor. The children were allegedly
locked in their room and had to pound on the wall to be let out to use the
bathroom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

police, Brandi allegedly said that she was not the biological mother of the
children. She claims that her husband forced her to withhold food from the
children. She also denies being the one who kept the children “locked up.” Neighbors claim that they did not even know
that children lived in the residence. On the other hand, Joshua claims that the
children were regularly seen by a mental health case worker who should be able
to refute some of the allegations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Derick Almena is the 47 year-old manager of the Oakland, California warehouse
that went up in flames during a weekend party. The fire killed 36 people. Many are complaining that the facility did not meet code nor did it have the requisite permits. Almena, has publicly said that he
was sorry for the tragedy that occurred at the residential art community. <i><span style="color: red;">"… I'm incredibly sorry and that
everything that I did was to make this a stronger and more beautiful community
and to bring people together… People didn't walk through those doors because it
was a horrible place. People didn't seek us out to perform and express themselves
because it was a horrible place."<o:p></o:p></span></i><br />

I remember when a movie starring Paul Newman titled "The Verdict" upset quite a few lawyers. The movie portrayed the leading attorney as an alcoholic. While the alcoholic attorney won a big case despite being outgunned, the movie portrayed the profession in a state of dysfunction. Many attorneys spoke out publicly against the unfair portrayal of a clearly impaired attorney who tarnished the image of the trial attorney. Some attorneys swore such alcoholics in the profession were a rare anomaly. However, recently CNN, announced the findings of a new study which strongly suggests that lawyers are struggling with
depression, substance abuse, and alcoholism. Furthermore, the study goes on to explain that the profession's suicide rates are quickly rising. Worst yet, the study concluded that there is a high percentage of practicing attorneys who are alcoholics.<br />
<br />
A survey showed that a significant percentage of attorneys are unhappy with their legal job because of extreme
stress from deadlines set by clients, partners, judges, and filing
deadlines. For some reason, lawyers complained of long hours of sitting at a desk and reading cases and/or technical documents. In an attempt to escape this stress, too many attorneys apparently drink heavily.<br />
<br />
The <i>American Bar Association</i> and the <i>Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation</i> reported that approximately 21-36%
of attorneys drink at levels consistent to alcohol addiction. (If true, this is
3-5 times higher than the general population.) Please see <i>The Journal of Addiction Medicine, 2016</i>, for the published survey. Similarly, the study suggests high rates of depression among practicing attorneys. So why is substance abuse so rampant? Is the practice of drinking away stress a generally accepted practice in the profession? After all, attorneys all belong to the bar, right? Wrong. Excessive alcohol use is a poor escape that typically only adds to the attorney's problems. <br />
<br />
<strong>If you know of an impaired lawyer or are an impaired lawyer, please contact your state bar association. Almost every bar association has an impaired attorney help program. The practice you save may be more than just a practice... it may be a life.</strong>Legal Pubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03464130635305514783noreply@blogger.com0
