2011-04-13

April 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Over on Facebook we're giving away a free iPad to one lucky winner as soon as we hit 1,000 fans. (So click "like" if you want a chance to win!)

Why are a bunch of Miami attorneys doing a free iPad giveaway?

In all honesty -- and this is the only truthful answer we could give you -- we want to get our name out there as far and wide as possible. What business doesn't? And Facebook is a great way to do that.

Plus, we can't think of many devices on the market today that are better than the iPad. Tablet computing is steadily improving and many lawyers are beginning to incorporate tablet computing technology into their law practices. In fact, we predict traditional laptop computing as we know it today will become obsolete over time.

Which brings us to the second reason we're giving away an iPad on Facebook: we understand the appeal these devices hold for both lawyers and general users. The iPad keeps people up-to-date and - if used correctly - efficient and productive. Ben Stevens of The Mac Lawyer has a great post covering different iPad apps that lawyers can use in their practices.

Here are a few major benefits we've discovered just through casual use of the iPad:

- Instant on. Laptop and desktop computers take forever to turn on and off. Many people don't bother to shut them down when they go home for the night. The iPad, however, turns on with the push of a button. You can go from a dark screen to browsing the Web in mere seconds.

- Ultra portable. The iPad's slim design makes it easy to use and convenient to bring with you. Lawyers - like writers and other creative professionals - have ideas pop into their heads at odd times. If you have your iPad with you, you can turn it on and type a note in seconds - with no cords or wires or any other peripherals necessary. Then, using an app that syncs, you can upload your note so it's there when you need it in the office.

- Industry news. Because the iPad is primarily a device used for consuming multimedia - pictures, video, blogs, etc. - it's easy for lawyers to stay current in their chosen fields.

In short, lawyers who consistently seek ways to improve their practices through technology and ongoing learning will undoubtedly translate that experience into better results for their clients.

In summary, if you want to learn "How to Get a Free iPad" simply "like" us on Facebook because we're giving away a free iPad to one lucky winner as soon as we hit 1,000 fans.

New York Tort Deform as it Relates to the Rights of Injured Children

2011-04-13

In a callous political move, Governor Cuomo dealt a significant blow to the rights of brain damaged children to help offset the State's budget shortfall. Shortly after this election, the Governor appointed a Committee to review medical malpractice cases. The committee consisted of medical-hospital-insurance representatives. There was no one to speak for neurologically impaired infants.

Potential new strategy to reduce catheter blockage

2011-04-13

Bacterial genes that make urine less acidic could be good targets to prevent catheter blockage, according to research presented at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Conference in Harrogate. The findings could lead to new strategies to prevent serious infections, particularly in long-term catheterization patients. Urinary catheters are devices used in hospitals and community care homes to manage a range of bladder conditions, and are commonly used to manage incontinence in elderly individuals for long periods of time. Scientists from the University of Brighton, ...

Scientists explore new link between genetics, alcoholism and the brain

2011-04-13

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Researchers at the University of Michigan Health System have uncovered a new link between genetic variations associated with alcoholism, impulsive behavior and a region of the brain involved in craving and anxiety. The results, published online April 12 in Molecular Psychiatry, suggest that variations in the GABRA2 gene contribute to the risk of alcoholism by influencing impulsive behaviors, at least in part through a portion of the cerebral cortex known as the insula, says study senior author Margit Burmeister, Ph.D., research professor at U-M's Molecular ...

On the off chance that any of my Wealth Counsel colleagues from warmer climes are unaware of conditions in the Midwest, southeast Michigan in mid-February is not full of sun and ripe for delightful outdoor activities (I've shocked you, I'm sure). Some people from our wonderful state enjoy all that our winters have to offer, including skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling. Our law practice, however, has a significant number of retirement-age clients, and for those clients, and for the rest of us who prefer to reserve our outdoor recreation for the warmer months, February ...

EDITOR'S PICK Protein could improve recovery from heart attacks Angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels, is required during embryonic development and wound healing, as well as during disease processes such as tumor growth. The signals that direct angiogensis are incompletely understood, but could represent novel targets for the development of therapies that promote or inhibit this process. In this paper, Young-Guen Kwon and colleagues, of Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea, investigated the role of two related proteins- DKK1 and DKK2- in angiogenesis. These ...

Scientists discover a new species of dinosaur, bridging a gap in the dinosaur family tree

2011-04-13

A team of scientists led by the Smithsonian Institution has discovered a fossilized dinosaur skull and neck vertebrae that not only reveal a new species, but also an evolutionary link between two groups of dinosaurs. The new species, Daemonosaurus chauliodus, was discovered at Ghost Ranch, N.M. The team's findings are published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Wednesday, April 13. The oldest known dinosaurs walked or ran on their hind legs and included early predatory species such as Herrerasaurus. They existed in what are now Argentina and Brazil early in the ...

Birds inherited sense of smell from dinosaurs ... and improved it

2011-04-13

This press release is available in French. Pigeons may not instill the same aura of fear as a Tyrannosaurus rex, but they inherited their sense of smell from such prehistoric killers. Birds are known more for their flying abilities and their senses of vision and balance than for their sense of smell. According to conventional wisdom, the sense of smell declined during the transition from dinosaurs to birds as the senses of vision and balance were improved for flight. But new research published today by scientists at the University of Calgary, the Royal Tyrrell Museum ...
