Most people try their best to avoid any run-ins with the law, but unfortunately, this is not always possible. A person can be in the wrong place at the wrong time or even be falsely accused of a crime. Even people who do commit crimes deserve a proper legal defense. It?s sad that many individuals opt to stick with the legal counsel provided by the court, and this is not often an effective way to get qualified legal representation. If someone is accused of a crime, they should hire their own lawyer, and there are several things that they should do when choosing a criminal defense attorney.
Research Criminal Defense Lawyers
The first step to finding an experienced criminal defense lawyer is conducting some research. Internet search engines can provide information on all of an area?s defense attorneys. This is a simple way for a person to find their list of options.
It is also possible to contact the local bar association for lists of nearby attorneys. Family and friends are also a great source of information on attorneys. If a loved one has had an experience with a criminal defense lawyer, they likely won?t shy away from sharing this information.
Ask about Qualifications and Education
Once a person has narrowed down their list of potential lawyers, they need to set up a time to meet with each one. One of the most important things to inquire about during this interview is a lawyers education. According to our law firm Howell and Christmas a legitimate attorney will have graduated from an accredited law school and be licensed to practice within the state.
It?s also important to ask about qualifications such as whether or not the attorney has experience in the specific type of case being presented to them. A lawyer may be exceptionally experienced in traffic citation cases, but this?doesn?t?mean that they can handle a homicide case with ease. A person should find a lawyer that has exceptional experience in defending people who were charged with the same crime.
Many individuals sometimes fail to look for another important qualification: people skills. This is one of the most vital skills a lawyer can have. They must constantly work with witnesses (both friendly and hostile), judges, juries and other attorneys. If an attorney?doesn?t?seem to be good with people during an initial consultation, it may be best to simply move on to the next lawyer on the list.
Ask for References
A qualified and professional attorney will leave a trail of satisfied clients in their wake, so it is important to ask if a lawyer is willing to provide a list of references from their recent clients list. This will allow an individual to speak with people who have had experience with the lawyer and gauge their satisfaction with the outcome. A lawyer who will not provide references should be avoided.
Being charged with any type of criminal offense is a serious matter, so it is important for anyone involved in this situation to treat it with the respect that it demands. This is not a time to go for the cheapest possible lawyer due to the possible consequences of a criminal conviction. The fines, probation fees and other repercussions related to a conviction will far outweigh the costs of enlisting the help of an experienced attorney to handle a criminal case. Knowing how to choose a good attorney, however, is absolutely vital.

CHICAGO, Thursday, November, 8, 2012. What's the third Thursday in November? If you said Thanksgiving, you'd be wrong.? The third Thursday in November is Beaujolais Nouveau Day--celebrated around the world with France, the U.S. and Japan partying the hardest.
French law has decreed that the Beaujolais Nouveau wine, produced from the Gamay grape that grows in the countryside of the Beaujolais region of France, cannot be released until a second after midnight on the third Thursday of November. Then the race is on to be the first to serve and consume the new batch of the Nouveau.
Anything goes to distribute over 65 million bottles (approximately half of the region's total annual production) as fast as possible around the world.? In this past this has been done by motorcycle, balloon, truck, helicopter, Concorde jet, elephant runners, rickshaws and more.
Beaujolais Nouveau, is an affordable easy to drink fruity red wine that pairs well with many foods from pizza to Thanksgiving fare. There is only a small amount of tannins, thus the taste of the wine is dominated by fruity flavors such as banana, fig and pear.? The purple-pink hued wine is bottled only six to eight weeks after its harvest, making it an object of ridicule by some wine snobs but loved by the masses.
The Nouveau changes each year but has been on a roll the last few years with some of the best tastings of the decade.? This year's Nouveau is expected to be a good one--next Thursday will tell the tale--when Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arriv?s in the Venteux Ville (a.k.a? the Windy City). Below are some of the establishments that are hosting special celebrations.
Bistronomic.
Chef/Owner Martial Noguier will present an innovative interpretation of French bistro classics?in honor of Beaujolais Nouveau with his three-course prix-fixe dinner special at Bistronomic for $39. The menu will feature?Homemade Country Pate, Beef Bourguignon, Banana Brioche Pudding plus a glass of Beaujolais Nouveau.? November 15.? 840 N. Wabash Ave.
Paris Club.
The celebration will take place in the main bar at Paris Club on Thursday November 15. Guests will be treated to complimentary appetizers and Beaujolais Nouveau by winemaker Joseph Drouhin.? Admission is FREE, no RSVP necessary.? Sant?!? Paris Club, 59 W. Hubbard.
Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Fest.
Head to downtown LaGrange ?on Thursday, November 15? for their 10th annual salute to Beaujolais Nouveau.

Despite their thick skins, alligators and crocodiles are surprisingly touchyPublic release date: 8-Nov-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Crocodiles and alligators are notorious for their thick skin and well-armored bodies. So it comes as something of a surprise to learn that their sense of touch is one of the most acute in the animal kingdom.
The crocodilian sense of touch is concentrated in a series of small, pigmented domes that dot their skin all over their body. In alligators, the spots are concentrated around their face and jaws.
A new study, published in the Nov. 8 issue of the Journal of Experimental Biology, has discovered that these spots contain a concentrated collection of touch sensors that make them even more sensitive to pressure and vibration than human fingertips.
"We didn't expect these spots to be so sensitive because the animals are so heavily armored," said Duncan Leitch, the graduate student who performed the studies under the supervision of Ken Catania, Stevenson Professor of Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt.
Scientists who have studied crocodiles and alligators have taken note of these spots, which they have labeled "integumentary sensor organs" or ISOs.
Over the years they have advanced a variety of different hypotheses about their possible function. These include: source of oily secretions that keep the animals clean; detection of electric fields; detection of magnetic fields; detection of water salinity; and, detection of pressure and vibrations.
In 2002, a biologist at the University of Maryland reported that alligators in a darkened aquarium turned to face the location of single droplets of water even when their hearing was disrupted by white noise. She concluded that the sensor spots on their faces allowed them to detect the tiny ripples that the droplets produced.
"This intriguing finding inspired us to look further," Catania said. "For a variety of reasons, including the way that the spots are distributed around their body, we thought that the ISOs might be more than water ripple sensors."
As a result, Leitch began a detailed investigation of the ISOs and their neural connections in both American alligators and Nile crocodiles.
Leitch found that these sensory spots are connected to the brain through the trigeminal ganglia, the nerve bundle that provides sensation to the face and jaw in humans.
In addition, his studies ruled out most of the alternative hypothesis for the ISOs function. For example, his anatomical studies didn't find pores that could release cleansing oil. Similarly, he found that the nerves in the ISOs didn't react to electric fields or, when submerged in water, to changes in salinity.
"I didn't test for sensitivity to magnetic fields, but we don't think this is likely either," said Leitch. In animals that can detect magnetic fields, he explained, the sensors are located inside the body, not on the surface.
What he did find is a diverse collection of "mechanoreceptors:" nerves that respond to pressure and vibration. Some are specially tuned to vibrations in the 20-35 Hertz range, just right for detecting tiny water ripples. Others respond to levels of pressure that are too faint for the human fingertip to detect.
Their analysis led the scientists to conclude that the crocodilian's touch system is exceptional, allowing them to not only detect water movements created by swimming prey, but also to determine the location of prey through direct contact for a rapid and direct strike and to discriminate and manipulate objects in their jaws.
Their finding that the most heavily wired ISOs are located in the mouth near the teeth suggests that the touch sensors help the animals identify the objects that they catch in their jaws. The sensors also appear to provide the sensitivity that female alligators and crocodiles need to delicately break open their eggs when they are ready to hatch and to protect their hatchlings by carrying them in their jaws, the same jaws that can clamp down on prey with a force of more than 2,000 psi.
