And if you're getting divorced, it can be tough on your finances, too. A marital split is often a long and expensive process, so before anything else, make sure it's really what you want, experts in the financial intricacies of divorce say. Beyond the emotional costs, there are the often-exorbitant legal fees, the added costs of suddenly living single and the trials of untangling your soon-to-be ex-spouse's fortunes from yours. If you find you've reached a point of no return in your marriage, there are some things you should do to help assure you don't lose your shirt when you lose your spouse, financial pros say. One of the most important rules is to be aware of what you've got. "Very often we have one spouse or the other in control of the finances, and then when the divorce comes, the one in the dark is at a real disadvantage, because they just don't know what's there or how to access these things," said Ronald Sharp, a Michigan divorce attorney and author of the book Winning the Divorce War: How To Protect Your Best Interests....

It could not immediately be determined whether the ruling by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema of Alexandria, Va., will create a significant, 11th-hour snag over protection of classified data in the only U.S. prosecution to stem from the terrorist attacks. The ruling could create a legal showdown if it requires intelligence agencies to produce classified information that they consider too sensitive to release, even to defense lawyers with government security clearances. Jury selection is set to begin on Feb. 6, with opening statements slated for March 6 in a sentencing trial to determine whether Moussaoui, who pleaded guilty to six conspiracy counts last April, should live or die. Defense lawyers asked the court last week to compel the government to release the intelligence assessments and an array of other documents shedding light about what U.S.... Read more...

With Shelby Bershinksy absent, the remaining board members approved to continue negations with Fortix, a private consulting company, with the intent of creating an Application Service Provider (ASP) that, if successful, could significantly enhance IMHs revenue and health care services. According to Quorum Resources and IMH chief financial officer Paul Zuidema, the ASP (Newcom) would allow regional hospitals to rent servers, storage space and network resources from IMH. Due to the size of IMH, Newcom would provide ASP services on the regional level. IMH officials predict that Newcom could have 13 Health Information System clients from Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska by 2010. The majority of Newcoms clients would be small, 10- to 50-bed hospitals, Zuidema said, of which there are about 200 in their target area. Preliminary estimates show that Newcom would create $3.84 million in revenue by the end of the 2007 fiscal year, with a net income of $571,400. With more and more hospitals buying into the IMH network, revenues and profits would continue to increase through 2008, 2009 and 2010. By 2010, IMH could see $7.69 million in revenue, with a net income of $3.36 million, according to Zuidema. Jon Benson, the Wyoming Technology Business Centers director, welcomed IMHs using the WTBCs resources to create Newcom. Its an idea I find very exciting, he said.... Read more...

Highlighted was the work of Charles Crimi Sr., who died in 1989 and was well-known for his work on behalf of poor defendants. Today, Thompson is scheduled to receive the Charles F. Crimi Memorial Award from the New York State Bar Association at its annual meeting in New York City. This year he also received the Monroe County Bar Association's Charles F. Crimi Award, which, like its counterpart at the state Bar Association, recognizes those who are willing to aggressively represent the poor. "It's quite a compliment," Thompson said. "He was just finishing his career when I was starting mine." Also scheduled to be recognized today in New York City are Genesee County Public Defender Gary Horton, who will receive the David S....

Defense lawyers have long indicated they would like to introduce psychological testimony on his behalf, despite his insistence that he's perfectly sane, but their court filings Tuesday contained the most specific claim of illness and the first mention of schizophrenia in the record. A 37-year-old Frenchman of Moroccan descent, Moussaoui is the only person who has been charged in the United States as part of the Sept. 11, 2001 al-Qaida attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Last April, he pleaded guilty to six conspiracy charges, but insisted he was not part of the Sept.... Read more...

Responding to a disagreement at a Parsippany council meeting, the league lawyer and the township's municipal attorney both said there is nothing illegal or unusual about public officials participating in public meetings by telephone. "It's kind of indirectly allowed in the Open Public Meetings Act," league attorney Deborah Kole said in referring to the 1975 state statute commonly known as the Sunshine Law. Parsippany Council President Rosemarie Agostini said Tuesday she would seek a legal interpretation after Council Vice President James Vigilante -- an Air Force reservist who will be deployed to Savannah, Ga., on Feb....

Clarence E. Hill, 48, convicted of murdering a Pensacola police officer in 1982, had refused a final meal and needles had punctured his arm when the Supreme Court stayed his execution. The court said it would hear his claim that he should have an opportunity to argue that his civil rights would be violated because the chemicals used to execute him would cause excessive pain. ....
