Edmonds residents rescue woman, infant from domestic assault

Edmonds residents rescue woman, infant from domestic assault
Officers respond to a domestic-violence assault early Tuesday outside the Park Ballinger Apartment Homes in Edmonds.

EDMONDS, Wash. -- A pair of Edmonds residents came to the rescue of a woman who was being assaulted by her ex-boyfriend as she held their 15-month-old child early Tuesday morning, according to the Edmonds Police Department.

The victim was driving her ex-boyfriend back to his apartment at 230th Street Southwest and 76th Avenue West sometime before 2:30 a.m. According to police, the ex-boyfriend started assaulting the victim verbally and physically during the ride, despite their child being in the car.

When they pulled up to the Park Ballinger Apartment Homes, the victim tried to get away with her child, but her ex-boyfriend reportedly followed her and continued to hit her while she held the baby.

Residents inside the apartment building heard the victim yelling for help. One of them jumped off a balcony and started fighting with the victim's ex-boyfriend. A second resident ran down the building's stairs and joined the fight, punching the suspect several times.

While the victim's ex-boyfriend was on the ground, one of the residents brought her and her child into an apartment.

The suspect reportedly staggered off and was found quickly by police. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment for facial injuries.

UPDATE: The victim in Tuesday's domestic-violence assault in Edmonds disputes a number of claims by police and wants to see charges pressed against the two men who supposedly came to her rescue.

Ashley Swinson said her boyfriend never became physical with her in the car and only hit her with her purse after she dropped it in his apartment parking lot.

She also said the two men from the apartment building only chased down and attacked her boyfriend with a stick after he had already left her alone.

Swinson said she is heartbroken over what happened to her boyfriend, who suffered facial fractures and blindness in the attack, and wants police to arrest the two men responsible.

"What my boyfriend did was unacceptable," Swinson said. "But, was it really acceptable for them to do what they did to him?"

Edmonds Police Sgt. Mark Marsh said the department will be passing its information on the case along to the Snohomish County Prosecutor's Office, which will ultimately decide what, if any, charges are pressed against the two men.

Accused sex offender allowed to watch child porn in jail

Accused sex offender allowed to watch child porn in jail »Play Video
TACOMA, Wash. -- A strange quirk in the law is allowing an accused child rapist to watch child pornography inside the Pierce County Jail.

Marc Gilbert is accused of sexually assaulting young boys and videotaping the abuse.

Under the law, defense attorneys are allowed to review material tied to the case. And because Gilbert has chosen to act as his own attorney, he has had unlimited access to the pornographic footage.

Therefore, the jail says it has no choice but to allow Gilbert to review the footage times over with no limits. Restricting his access would risk a mistrial.

Investigators seized from Gilbert's possession more than 100 DVDs containing 28 hours of pornographic footage. Some of the material was allegedly shot by the former jet pilot, and feature the young boys he's accused of luring to his home and exploiting.

The prosecutor and the sheriff say the results of the legal loophole are sickening in this case, but say the state Supreme Court has ruled in Gilbert's favor.

"Make no mistake -- I don't like it," said Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor. "But it is not my choice whether to do it or not to do it. There's no question that I don't like it. There's no question that this makes me grind my teeth."

"We don't like it. We don't want to do it, but we have to follow the law. The fix here is to change the law," said Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist.

To make sure no other inmates get a chance to see the pornography, Gilbert is made to review them in a separate room.

Child advocates say allowing the tapes to be viewed further victimizes the victims.

Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore event  SEP 26 2012

To celebrate the release of his new novel, Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, Robin Sloan is doing two related events at the Center for Fiction in NYC.

Second thing first: At 7pm on Thu, Oct 4, there will be a launch party at the Center for Fiction hosted by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and Electric Literature. RSVP here.

But before the party, Robin will be interviewing a variety of people over a 24-hour period and streaming the whole thing online. I am one of the scheduled interviewees and I have no idea what we'll talk about. But because my slot is right before the party starts, after almost 20 non-stop hours of Robin interviewing people, it's possible we'll just change into our sweatpants, split a pint of Cherry Garcia, and spoon on the couch.

KOTUG performed its first assistance on River Thames

October 30th 2013, KOTUG’s RT Champion performed her ‘first’ assistance in the Thames on the tanker vessel “STEN IDUN” to the Oikos Jetty, London.

As of October 2013, a full 24/7 towage service, supported by KOTUG’s local management, will be available to assist the clients at the Oil and Gas Terminals on the river Thames and the London Gateway Container Terminal. In cooperation with ship managers, terminal operators, local agencies and its own representatives, KOTUG is happy to be in a position to offer its innovative services combining the skills of its highly trained and dedicated UK crews with a sophisticated and modern fleet of powerful Rotor®Tugs and ASD Tugs.

KOTUG is developing its services to ports and terminals in Europe, Australia and Africa. Following the start of KOTUG’s operation in Wilhelmshaven in 2012 and in Cameroon at the beginning of 2013, a dedicated operation in the United Kingdom represents a new step in the global activities of KOTUG.

On the River Thames KOTUG operates two powerful 80+ ton bollard pull Rotor®Tugs, RT Leader and RT Champion and will add two 65+ azimuth stern drive tugs. Depending on the workload, KOTUG is able to expand the local fleet with more tugboats.

assistance Sten Idun_river... RT Champion on River...

The principal advantage of the revolutionary Rotor®Tugs is their remarkable manoeuvrability, provided by its three azimuth propulsion units, making it the safest way to tow in confined areas, and especially in challenging tidal and weather conditions. Due to the configuration of the three azimuth propulsion units, the bollard-pull of these tugs is maintained at an almost 100% level in any direction the tug is operating. Due to the Rotor®Tug’s excellent manoeuvrability and power, in many cases, fewer tugs are needed per ship assistance.

Last Chance For Foie Gras

Aired 6/4/12 on KPBS News.

Some say it’s cruel. Others say it’s delicious. But either way foie gras will not be sold in San Diego eateries after July 1st.

California's foie gras ban, signed almost eight years ago goes into effect next month and San Diego diners are getting their fill while they can.

Hanis Cavin is the owner and chef at Carnitas Snack Shack in North Park. His menu changes daily, but he serves foie gras about once a week.

And he sells out of it every time he does.

“We open at noon, and I’ll usually be sold out by eight o’clock at night", he said.

Opponents of Foie Gras say the delicacy is cruel because ducks are fed more than they would normally eat on their own, enriching the liver and the resultant pate. And they’ve been staging protests at area restaurants that serve the dish.

Cavin, who uses meat that comes from farms that boast humanely raised beef, and cage-free chickens, says foie gras production is not cruel.

"The ducks run around, you know, they’re probably happier than most animals being raised for food. And that’s what makes a lot of it so tough for chefs, is that, they’re making it like we’re buying something inhumanely treated and it’s truly not the case.”

So far, California is the only state the ban foie gras.

Work To Reduce Chula Vista Students’ Obesity Is Paying Off

Evening Edition

Above: Efforts to reduce childhood obesity in Chula Vista schools appear to be paying off.

Aired 3/18/13 on KPBS News.

Efforts to reduce childhood obesity in Chula Vista schools appear to be paying off.

Efforts to improve student health in Chula Vista elementary schools appear to be paying off. In 2010, a districtwide survey of students' height and weight found that 39.8 percent were overweight or obese.

Since then, the Chula Vista Elementary School District has revamped its wellness policy, taking steps that include promoting gym time, ending unhealthy treats during the school day and removing chocolate milk from the lunch menu.

When the district began its efforts, health professionals told Superintendent Francisco Escobedo not to expect instant results.

“Typically it’ll take five to 10 years to change the behaviors of society. Look at what happened in two years in Chula Vista,” Escobedo said at a Friday presentation.

In 2010, 25 district schools had obesity rates of 20 percent or higher. Half of the district's sixth graders were overweight, a quarter were obese. A second survey this fall showed those rates dropping at each grade level. Overall, about 3.2 percent fewer students were overweight or obese this year. Escobedo said that translates to about 800 more normal-weight students in the district.

The new wellness policy took effect across the district this past fall, but some changes, like taking chocolate milk out of cafeterias and encouraging schools to hold wellness fairs, started during the 2010-11 school year.

Rice Elementary was one of the first schools to pilot the new wellness policies last year, before they were mandatory for all schools.

“We’ve had a wellness fair, we’ve had cooking classes. We’ve talked about it. We’ve changed the way that we even do our fundraising,” said Principal Ernesto Villanueva. He said one of the most popular initiatives was sending home healthy recipes in the school newsletter.

The changes paid off. Five percent fewer Rice students were overweight or obese when the second survey was conducted this year. But Evita Sawyers, a Rice parent and PTA member, said trading popsicle and nacho fundraisers for fruit and vegetable boxes wasn't initially popular.

“Those things we got kind of a little backlash about," she said,"but when we're able to see the results, ok, look we made these changes but look at the results that we’ve gotten, it kind of pales in comparison.”

In addition to activities and lessons for students, Sawyers said parents are excited about Zumba classes on the campus that the whole family can come to after the school day.

Sawyers and her son Demetrius regularly get to school early to go to the new running club. In addition to their morning runs, Demetrius said he likes being able to eat grapes from the new fruit salad bar during lunch.

Increasing activity options and access to healthy foods are exactly the kinds of actions that researchers believe have led to some declines in childhood obesity rates in some large cities and states in recent years.

Between 2005 and 2010 California saw a 1.1 percent decline in childhood obesity rates for fifth, sixth and seventh graders - the grades for which the state department of education collects data.

"In two years to see that kind of decline is great," said James Marks, a senior vice president at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which researches childhood obesity. He said the improvements are especially exciting in an area like Chula Vista, where there's a large Latino population and the county's highest instance of adult diabetes.

"If they can continue this, they should see kids be less likely to get diabetes," he said.

The problem is the food supply. Processed foods are a poison. (Diet Soda) Aspartame,Sucrlose(Splenda) and High frucotose corn syrups are all billion dollar poisons that make you hold fat. What happened to our good insulin?

We have become largely an insulin resistance people, We have cells that are resistant to insulin and we stay fat.

One day FDA food chemicals will be exposed and lead to the largest lawsuit since the tobacco industry was exposed. See here

UK Bank Levy increases top five UK Banks’ Tax Rate

  • KPMG launches UK Bank Levy research

  • Bank Levy is draining banks’ profits and undermining efforts to strengthen their capital base

  • Latest consultation unlikely to address key issue of the Levy’s burden on the UK banking industry

KPMG research into the UK Bank Levy shows that the UK’s top five banks[1] suffered an effective tax rate of 71.3% on their 2013 profits which is partly attributable to the UK Bank Levy.

KPMG’s study examined several key metrics in the published results of the top five UK banking groups since 2011 to assess the impact of the UK Bank Levy since its introduction.

Bank levy rates remain unchanged following the Chancellor’s 2014 Budget last week but a further consultation on the design of the Levy, to be launched this week, was announced by the Government.

Tom Aston, head of banking tax for KPMG in the UK, commented:  “The Bank Levy was introduced, in part, to support the key policy objective of reducing risk in the banking sector following the financial crisis.  Our research demonstrates that, on some of the key measures, overall risk in the UK banking sector has now decreased with many banks having made substantial reductions in the size of their balance sheets as well as holding increased levels of capital to meet the new regulatory requirements. However, the other aim of the tax was to raise £2.5bn a year and so, as balance sheets have shrunk, the rate of the tax has been steadily increased (seven times now) to try to maintain the tax take.  Our figures therefore show that the Bank Levy is now draining profits out of the banks and undermining efforts to strengthen their capital base.

“The Government announced a new consultation on the design of the Bank Levy in last week’s budget and we understand this will focus on how Levy charges can be fixed in a banding system to simplify budgeting for individual banks and to assist HMRC in estimating yield.

“While this is to be welcomed, our findings indicate that the burning issue is not getting budgeting right, but rather addressing the overall burden that the Levy is imposing on the shrinking UK banking sector – a burden that is now out of balance with its initial policy objectives.”

KPMG’s research shows that between 2011 and 2013:

Bank balance sheets shrank dramatically and capital strength improved:

  • Total Risk Weighted Assets (a measure of a bank’s exposure to credit risk in its portfolio) at the top five banks reduced by 13% (from £2.14 trillion to £1.86 trillion).

  • Total capital levels (a measure of a bank’s capacity to absorb losses) increased by 20% (from an average of 15.5% of Risk Weighted Assets to 18.6% of Risk Weighted Assets).

The total UK Bank Levy increased significantly across the top five UK banks:

  • The UK Bank Levy charge across the top five UK banks increased from £1.2 billion in 2011 to £1.65 billion in 2013, an increase of 36%.  This will largely reflect successive increases in the rate of the Bank Levy.  In the same period total profits before tax reduced from £20.1 billion to £12.4 billion (excluding RBS’s results, total profits showed a small decline).

The UK Bank Levy has significantly increased the “effective rate of tax” on the top five UK banks’ profits:

  • The Bank Levy charge has increased the effective tax rate (i.e. Corporation Tax plus Bank Levy) on the aggregate profits of the big five UK Banks giving a total effective tax rate of 36% in 2011 and a total effective tax rate of 71% in 2013[2].

  • Excluding the results of RBS, the impact has been to increase the total effective tax rate to 27.25% in 2011 and to 40.01% in 2013[3].

  • This compares to the reduction in the statutory effective corporation tax rate of 26.5% for the year ended 31 December 2011, falling to 23.25% for the year ended 31 December 2013.

The UK Government could, once again, undershoot its revenue target for Bank Levy receipts in 2013:

  • KPMG’s research suggests that, based on the 2013 figures released by the five largest banks (which we estimate paid c. 75% of the Levy in 2011 and c. 73% of the Levy in 2012), the Government may once again undershoot its target minimum yield of £2.5 billion by approximately £400m in FY 2013/14.

  • KPMG’s results also suggest that the Office for Budget Responsibility’s recent forecast of Bank Levy receipts of £2.3bn for FY 2013/14[4] may now also come under some pressure.

St. Clair, MO (KSDK) - A one car crash Monday evening in Franklin County has seriously injured three men who were in the car when it collided east of St. Clair.

Missouri Highway Patrol troopers say just before 9:00 p.m. last night, the westbound car driven by a 28 year old St. Clair man, left Mill Hill Road just east of the Bruns Bridge, drove up and over an embankment, and slammed into a tree.

Lewis was taken to St. Anthony's Medical Center for emergency treatment of his injuries.

Two passengers in the car, 48 year old Stephen Cox, and 31 year old Joseph Temares, both of St. Clair were also seriously injured in the collision.

Cox was airlifted to Mercy Hospital in Creve Coeur, and Temares was taken to the same facility by ground ambulance.

Troopers say the driver was cited for drunk driving, assault, and driving with a suspended license.

Neither team shot well in the first half, with Washington making good on 37.5 percent of its field goal attempts and Cal shooting just 36.4 percent, but the Huskies were able to take a 34-20 lead at intermission by attempting 18 more shots than the Bears.

Washington's struggles from the field continued in the second half (.357), but it lead by double-digits throughout.

The Huskies earned a lopsided advantage in field goal attempts (68-53) by winning the rebounding battle, 48-33, and by turning the ball over just six times.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. - At first, the woman hearing the voice didn't know what to think. She was near a school in a Fairfield neighborhood when she heard what sounded like a child's cries for help.

"The voice kept saying 'Daddy, daddy, daddy,' then said 'What?' Almost as if the child was talking to somebody else," said James Perez with the Fairfield Police Department.

The woman called police and then started following the "cries."

"As she was looking for the source of the voice, she kept following it and brought her to a tree near the school where she looked up and saw it was a parrot," said Perez.

Yep, you heard correctly. A parrot, Ralphie to be exact. The voice the woman was hearing was not a child at all, but a bird about 25 feet up in a tree.

It turns out, Ralphie had been missing for days. His owner lives about a mile away. Police rescued Ralphie and brought him home.

"We're just happy there were no children that were hurt and that it wasn't a child at all but in fact a bird just yearning for its father or its daddy, and we got it back to him," said Perez.

Five children traveling across the country are in the custody of authorities after their mother died.

The mother and her children were waiting in line early Friday at the Greyhound bus station in downtown Dallas. A Greyhound spokeswoman told The Dallas Morning News that the mother appeared to suffer a medical emergency and was taken to an area hospital, where she died.

The woman's name and the cause of her death have not been released.

The family was traveling from Mississippi to Oregon. The children stayed with Greyhound officials until police officers took them to Child Protective Services. Officials are trying to contact the children's father.

Greyhound said it will take the children to Oregon for free.

Firefighters at Brownwood's central fire station are getting a new home.

Construction for new site is well underway on Adams Street and Congress Avenue. The station will be located between the Lehnis Railroad Museum and the Depot Center.

Brownwood Fire Chief Del Albright said he is excited to see the final product.

"First you see a bunch of samples and what it's going to look like in pictures, and now we see it coming to fruition. You can actually see it," Albright said.

He said the biggest issue with the current station, which is located at the intersection of Main Street and Austin Avenue, was the lack of room. With the new station, more room means more resources such as a training room, a fitness center, and even offices for other personnel like the fire marshal, whose office is currently inside the Law Enforcement Center.

He said the extra space will be worthwhile now and in the long run.

"We're going to have room for expansion for more firefighters in the future whenever that might occur," he said. "Coming in and out of the station is going to be a lot safer at the new location than here at the busy intersection. It'd be a better environment for the employees and we're looking forward to it."

Construction crews began building the new station this past summer. Albright said the roughly $3 million project is expected to be done in August and that is when the firefighters plan to move in. It will be about twice the size of the current station.

EL PASO, Texas -

El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz on Thursday announced several new priest and deacon assignments that will take effect this summer.

One of the more notable priest reassignments is Msgr. Arturo Bañuelas being moved from St. Pius X to St. Mark effective June 20.

Bañuelas has been at St. Pius X since 1988. The Rev. Wilson Cuevas will be the new priest at St. Pius X.

"He is a great person and great priest. He married me almost 24 yrs ago, he baptized my 2 children, he did the mass for my daughter's quincianera," Diane posted on KVIA's Facebook page. "We love him dearly, I'm sure he will be missed a lot, but I live very close to St Marks, so it makes me happy that I will be attending his masses again. God bless you father Arturo."

Another priest with a long tenure at a parish who is being reassigned is the Rev. Ed Roden-Lucero. He has been at San Juan Diego since 1995 and is being moved to St. Thomas Aquinas on August 1.

Seitz, who became El Paso's bishop in May 2013, reassigned 10 priests and a few deacons in fall 2013.

Seitz will have a news conference at 1 p.m. Friday to discuss the assignments. ABC-7 will carry the news conference live at kvia.com.

Seitz wrote about the new reassignments in a post on his blog Thursday morning.

“If your pastor is among those moving I am sure this will be painful for you who have come to know and love your pastor over a number of years,” Seitz wrote. “In this Diocese many priests have been left in their parishes for a long time and so when they are moved it can seem almost like a punishment.  Some will conclude it is simply change for the sake of change.

“In my life moving to different assignments was always a challenge, because as a priest I came to feel very much a part of the community I served.  On the other hand I also found this movement to be a very rich time in my own understanding of my calling and my commitment to it,” Seitz wrote.

Seitz also wrote that when a priest is in one place for too long, the parishioners can overly identify Jesus Christ with the individual priest.

“No one priest can represent Christ in his fullness.  Each Christian community is a special locus of Christ,” Seitz wrote. “It is not healthy for it to be seen simply as “Fr. Jones’ Parish”.  It needs to be identified as the “Parish of St. ________, served by Fr. Jones”.  When Fr. Jones moves to another parish the community retains its identity and its mission.”

Seitz wrote that he is not attempting to make the changes on his own and formed a board to help him with the decisions.

"I have formed a personnel board made up of well-respected priests of the diocese," Seitz wrote in his blog. "They are: Msgr. David Fierro, Fr. John Telles, Fr. Frank Lopez, Fr. Saul Pacheco, Fr. Joe Molina and Fr. Tony Celino.  I am working with them to find the best ways to fill the needs that lie before us.  And we are praying earnestly to the Holy Spirit for guidance.  At least for the short term we are also seeking priests from other places who may be able to assist us.  Our need for Vocations coming from our own communities for the future is great."

"This is business as usual for the church," Jorge wrote on KVIA's Facebook page regarding the reassignments. "I'm not surprised by all the shuffling. For those of you who have practiced Catholicism for many years, this should've been expected with a relatively new bishop in charge now."

The Roman Catholic population served by the El Paso diocese is 656,035 of a total population of 811,739.

The diocese, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, is made up of 55 parishes, 20 missions, and 17 ministries.

Former Longhorn quarterback James Street dies

By: JIM VERTUNO Associated Press
By: JIM VERTUNO Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Former Texas quarterback James Street, who took over the Longhorns' wishbone offense and led them to the 1969 national championship, has died. He was 65.

Serena Fitchard of the James Street Group said Street died early Monday but that no other details were immediately available.

Street started the 1968 season as a backup but was made the starter after two games. He led Texas to 20 consecutive victories, including the "Game of the Century" with Arkansas in 1969, a come-from-behind, 15-14 victory by the top-ranked Longhorns over No. 2 Arkansas to cap the regular season.

The Texas-Arkansas game was attended by President Richard Nixon. After the Longhorns' victory, Nixon declared Texas the national champions.

Street later went on to a career in finance and structured settlements.

Hamilton’s 2-run double leads Rangers to 6-1 win over Royals

2-27-08 -- Josh Hamilton hit a two-run double in the fifth inning Wednesday and the Texas Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals 6-1 in their spring training opener.

Hamilton was the first player chosen in the 1999 draft, but played only 15 professional games from 2003-06 after being suspended for violating baseball’s drug policy. The Rangers acquired him in a December trade with Cincinnati.

“That guy just keeps his hands inside the baseball and he’s strong,” Texas manager Ron Washington said. “He generated bat speed. It was great. He just missed one in the first inning.”

Royals outfielder Justin Huber almost caught Hamilton’s double off the left-field fence, which scored Julio Borbon and Ryan Roberts.

“It hung up there long enough to catch,” Huber said. “I got a good read on it. I just misjudged it at the end. It ricocheted off my glove. You don’t see those plays very often, but you want to catch them when they come your way. That changed the game, that play.”

Right-hander Luke Hochevar, first overall pick in the 2006 draft, pitched two perfect innings for the Royals. Hochevar, vying for a spot in the Royals’ rotation or as a reliever, did not allow the ball out of the infield.

“He was outstanding,” Kansas City manager Trey Hillman said. “I learned a little bit more about him, not only with what he did with his pitches. He was sick in the dugout after he pitched and didn’t say anything to me or the pitching coach. That tells me what kind of guy he is on the inside. That’s the kind of guy we want toeing the rubber. That was an added bonus, as far as I’m concerned.”

Taylor Teagarden, a non-roster Rangers invite as a catcher, homered off left-hander Ron Mahay to lead off the seventh. David Murphy doubled in the second to score Marlon Byrd, who also doubled, in the second for the first Texas run.

Japanese reliever Yasuhiko Yabuta, who was making his Royals debut, gave up two runs and three hits in the eighth.

Tony Pena Jr.’s RBI single in the fifth produced the only Kansas City run.

The Royals signed OF Shane Costa, INF Alberto Callaspo and INF Angel Sanchez to 2008 contracts, leaving only five unsigned players. … The Northern Illinois baseball team, which is participating in a college tournament that begins Thursday at Surprise Stadium, was honored in pregame ceremonies. Northern Illinois originally was scheduled to play last week at Texas Tech, but the series was canceled for the team to attend a campus memorial after a gunman killed five people and shot himself on Feb. 14 at the Dekalb, Ill., university.

Los Angeles DUI Lawyer

Aggressive Defense for the Accused

If you were pulled over for suspected drunk driving and placed under arrest, your situation could not be more serious. Cases of DUI are taken very seriously in Los Angeles and law enforcement is determined in their efforts to find and arrest suspected offenders. For this reason, if you were accused of driving under the influence, you need a strong legal representative on your side. Our team at Floyd, Skeren & Kelly, LLP is dedicated to providing aggressive defense for those who have been arrested for this crime. With over 25 years of experience in defending people throughout the Los Angeles area, you can rely on our team to do whatever it takes to protect your best interests and get your charges dropped.

We have been AV® rated Preeminent™ by Martindale-Hubbell® for our legal skill and high standard of ethics. This is the highest possible ranking that any attorney or law firm can hope to receive. Our legal peers in the DUI defense field have recognized Floyd, Skeren & Kelley for our high ethical standards and our commitment to excellence in representing our clients. This peer rating is very difficult to earn and we are proud of our team for achieving this honor. We have also been named members of the National College for DUI Defense, which serves as another testament to our tireless devotion to our clients. We understand that not everyone who is accused of DUI is guilty and we also understand that many people are falsely accused of crimes they did not commit. Whatever your case is, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team today so that we can examine your case.

Types of DUI Cases

The severity of the possible penalties you could be facing vary based on the circumstances of your offense. For example, a second or third DUI offense will be punished more harshly than would a first DUI offense. If you were accused of causing an accident leading to injury or manslaughter, your penalties will also increase. For those under the age of 21 who were found to be drinking and driving, they could be convicted of DUI as a minor. Out of state DUI will also have different ramifications, both in the state you were arrested in as well as in your home state. Possible punishments that you could be facing include: license suspension, vehicle impoundment, fines, jail, community service, and more.

Punishments are extensive and come at a great cost to those who are charged with a DUI. However, what many people do not realize is that there are ways to defend yourself against such an accusation and that there are ways to challenge the evidence against you. For example, if you were asked to perform a field sobriety test and failed it, you may erroneously believe that your case is now hopeless. We have experience in examining the evidence against you and challenging it in court. If you were not clearly given instructions or were wrongfully pulled over in the first place, all evidence against you could be thrown out of court. The same is true regarding chemical testing. Breath tests and blood tests are helpful in determining the blood alcohol content of an individual, but they are not always accurate. If the device was not property calibrated or the law enforcement officer did not correctly administer the test, it could give out an inaccurate reading.

After a Drunk Driving Arrest

After you have been arrested for driving under the influence, you will have to schedule a hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles. At the DMV hearing, you will be able to challenge your license suspension, but the hearing must be scheduled within 10 days following your arrest. After this, it is crucial that you have an attorney on your side during the DUI court process. The outcome of your case could depend on who is defending you in court. Our team understands the DUI law in California and keeps up to date regarding new laws.

With an attorney that understands current law, your case is given the opportunity to have a much stronger foundation. Our team takes on each new case with a fresh outlook, and seeks to serve you to the best of our ability. We stay up on current trends in the media and also keep a strict eye on any change in legislative law. Your defense should be one that is not only up to date, but also is well suited for you and the society in which you live. Our team of attorneys is ready to serve you with a sense of dependability and trust, whether or not you have been arrested for a DUI.

If you have not yet been placed under arrest but you have a certain type of warrant out on you, your first step should be to contact our team. An arrest warrant means that you could be placed under arrest at any time and a bench warrant could be issued if you were thought to not have followed a court order. Even if you already have been convicted of DUI in the past, you may be eligible to an expungement. This means that your record could be permanently sealed to the public and that you be will be able to answer no when asked if you have a criminal record.

Why choose an attorney from Floyd, Skeren & Kelley, LLP?

A drunk driving conviction is a permanent mark on your driving as well as your criminal record. Not only do you face fines, but you could actually be facing jail time. A license suspension will also dramatically alter your way of living because you will no longer be able to get around with the freedom that you used to. Why face these penalties if you don't have to? You can fight your DUI, but you don't have much time after your initial arrest to procure a defense. We are able to act quickly on your behalf.

Our team at Floyd, Skeren & Kelly LLP is dedicated to protecting the rights of our clients. Whether you were arrested for federal DUI, boating under the influence, DUI involving drugs, or any other type of DUI case, please do not hesitate to contact our team. These types of cases can prove to be extremely complicated and so we are there to walk with you through every stage of the case. Even if the evidence against you seems to be insurmountable, do not give up hope until you learn how we could help you. You can have peace of mind knowing that a strong representative is by your side. Our law firm is highly respected in the area of criminal law due to our determination and legal skill. Do not let one mistake ruin the rest of your life!

With the election a month away, an incumbent and a planning commissioner are garnering more financial support than a 24-year-old newcomer in the race to fill two seats on the La Cañada Flintridge City Council, according to records on file at the city clerk's office.

City Councilman Dave Spence, Planning Commissioner Jonathan Curtis and accountant Joe Layton have a combined $10,300 in campaign contributions so far.

Curtis has the biggest war chest, with donations totaling $6,390 — including a $2,500 personal loan — according to campaign finance disclosure statements filed last week.

Spence put $3,237 of his money into his campaign and has raised $299 so far from donors.

Layton, who missed the Jan. 24 deadline to file his disclosure statement, reported on Tuesday that he's received $400 to date, $100 of that from a loan.

Elected city officials and active community members have thrown support behind Curtis, who seems to be following in the footsteps of Councilman Michael Davitt, a former planning commissioner.

[FOR THE RECORD: An earlier version of this article incorrectly identified City Council members as city employees.]

Council members Donald Voss and Laura Olhasso have donated $100 and $150, respectively, to Curtis. Planning Commissioner Terry Walker has put down $100 toward his campaign, and attorney Brad Schwartz, a member of the Investment and Financing Advisory Committee, has donated $250.

Frank Gooch, who backed businessman Charlie Kamar in the 2011 election, has donated $100 to Curtis. Kamar announced his intention to run in this year's race, but dropped out before campaigning got underway.

Former Kiwanis Club President Mary Gant donated $100 to Curtis.

Craig Mazin, the screenwriter who wrote “The Hangover Part II” and the upcoming “Identity Thief,” gave Curtis $500.

Mazin said Curtis is the first candidate he's seen while living in the city to make the school system a priority.

“The state has not done a good job funding our schools,” Mazin said. “We need help from our community.”

One local business owner showed support for two candidates, despite the fact that both voted against a plan last year to allow more drive-throughs in the Downtown Village Specific Plan area.

Bill Koury, owner of the Shell gas station on Angeles Crest Highway, was trying to bring a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf with a drive-through to the station. The Planning Commission and City Council rejected the proposal. Curtis had said in December that adding drive-throughs would tarnish La Cañada's environmental efforts.

Koury gave $200 to both Curtis and Spence.

He said every election he gives money to candidates he thinks are best qualified.

While talking to him at a social function last fall, Curtis seemed “very enthusiastic and qualified,” Koury said.

“I felt he was a person who could work well in the City Council.”

He added that Curtis explained his decision not to allow drive-throughs in the city because it would prompt too many requests for similar operations.

Layton's sole donation on record, for $300, is from David Battaglia, a local attorney.

All three candidates are scheduled to speak at an election forum at 7 p.m. on Feb. 6 at Flintridge Preparatory School.

Men's Lacrosse Sticks - $50 - $100

The lacrosse head is the most important piece of equipment for any lacrosse player on the field. Each player's head is unique to the style of play of their game and a player's pocket can be adjusted to provide more control or a quicker release. The lacrosse head can either come strung or unstrung. Most lacrosse heads are strung with nylon mesh and will require a short break in period before play. Unstrung heads will need be strung before being used for play. There are many stringing kit options available. Most lacrosse heads are offset, curved or canted to allow for more ball control and each head is made up of a scoop (top of the head), a unique sidewall and a throat area that attaches on to the lacrosse shaft. Find more information about lacrosse heads.
