Death Investigation: A Guide for the Scene Investigator | National Institute of Justice: "Death Investigation: A Guide for the Scene Investigator
November 1997
Death Investigation: A Guide for the Scene Investigator describes a study that focused on the establishment of guidelines for conducting death investigations. The principal purpose of the study, initiated in June 1996, was to identify, delineate, and assemble a set of investigative tasks that should and could be performed at every death scene. These tasks would serve as the foundation of the guide for death scene investigators. This research was based on the collective knowledge of three multidisciplinary content area expert groups. The focus was on the death scene, the body, and the interactive skills and knowledge that must be applied to ensure a successful case outcome.

ResourceShelf: "Ireland: Searchable 1911 Census Goes Online
August 30th, 2009
From the Article:
A new database for Irish genealogy and research was yesterday released online by the National Library of Ireland.
The free searchable version of the April 1911 family census contains information from the 32 counties and is searchable using any combination of name, surname, age, sex and place
It gives access not only to a database of information but to images of the original census forms which would have been handwritten by the head of the household.
The project, which has so far taken three years of work, has information which is much more personal than the online census release by the CSO earlier this year.
In June, the results of every census conducted in Ireland from 1926 to 1991 were made available online to the public for the first time.

BRB's Public Records Blog: Occupational Licensing
BRB's Public Records Blog: Occupational Licensing: "BRB Publications Launches New Web Page www.verifyprolicense.com Providing Access to State Licensing Boards
BRB Publications annouced today a new website that enables the public to verify individuals and businesses required to be licensed or have a certification or registration.
This free, new resource enables a researcher to check the representations people make to the public in day-to-day personal or business life. Users of www.verifyprolicense.comcan choose an occupation or business category, by state, to find the direct address, phone number, and web page of the licensing or certification board. The resulting screen also provides a hot link to a License Validator to verify the license, permit, and registration information for individuals and or businesses. Another valuable feature of the search is that it often indicates when disciplinary action has been taken against an individual or business. This site is updated weekly and includes over 8,000 occupations with over 4,500 'name searchable' links providing immediate results.
According to BRB Publication’s CEO Michael Sankey, 'Professional occupational licensing and non-voluntary certifications and registrations are generally a matter of public record, intended to protect the public from fraud and the misrepresentations of qualifications. It is simply a smart business practice to check on those with whom you deal, particularly if strangers come into a home, or if money and property are involved.'
Also, the new website is dedicated to educating the public about The Sue Weaver C.A.U.S.E. (Consumer Awareness of Unsafe Service Employment).
About the Sue Weaver C.A.U.S.E.
On August 27, 2001, Sue Weaver was brutally raped and beaten to death by a twice convicted sex-offender. Ms. Weaver’s attacker was hired through a major department store to do service work in her home. In memory of Sue Weaver, C.A.U.S.E. was founded in 2004 as a non-profit organization that brings awareness and education to consumers and employers regarding the necessity of criminal background checks on all service employees, contractors and subcontractors hired to work in or near clients’ homes.

Urban Myth: Licensed Professionals Such as Doctors, Lawyers or Teachers, Do Not Need Background Checks
Posted with permission from ESR Newsletter and Legal Update, a newsletter by Lester S. Rosen Esq. and Employment Screening Resources (ESR), www.esr.com
A popular urban myth is that members of regulated and licensed professions, such as doctors, lawyers, CPA’s, nurses or teachers do not need a background check because some governmental agency is in charge of ensuring that individuals that commit crimes or misconduct will not have a license to practice their profession.
Unfortunately, nothing can be further from the truth. Licensing is conducted by numerous boards in the 50 states and territories. Due to some of the following factors, it is entirely possible for a criminal to be licensed by a state agency:
The system for a licensing board to discover a criminal conviction is far from perfect. Conviction data may not be sent to a licensing board immediately, or at all. In addition, there can be a substantial lag time between the alleged criminal act, the arrest and the conviction. Even if the criminal conviction is discovered by the licensing board, the disciplinary process takes time. Unless the licensing board takes action to issue an immediate suspension, the licensee may be able to continue to practice while the administrative procedures drag on.
While the disciplinary action is pending, a licensee may simply move to another state and apply for a license, covering up the proceedings in the first state. In other words, a licensee may try to “beat the discipline” before the new state finds out about it.
Even if a person is suspended in one state, an employer cannot assume that all state licensing boards share information with each other. As we discovered post 9/11, we do not live in a world where the government routinely collects and shares data with other governmental entities. There can even be situations where a person commits a crime that does not result in losing a license, but is still important for an employer to know about. In fact, in some licensed occupations, a person may even get a “private” reprimand meaning that a check with the appropriate licensing board may not reveal anything.
The bottom-line: Employers that hire a member of a licensed or regulated occupation cannot assume that they are immune from liability simply because a person appears to have a current license. Since it is possible for criminal convictions or acts of misconduct to “fall through the cracks,” an employer still has a duty to exercise due diligence by its own independent background check.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) is a clearinghouse for missing persons and unidentified decedent records. NamUs is a free online system that can be searched by medical examiners, coroners, law enforcement officials and the general public to solve these cases.
The Unidentified Decedents Database contains information entered by medical examiners and coroners. Unidentified decedents are people who have died and whose bodies have not been identified. Anyone can search this database using characteristics such as sex, race, distinct body features and even dental information.
The Missing Persons Database contains information about missing persons that can be entered by anyone; before it appears as a case on NamUs, the information is verified. NamUs provides the ability to print missing persons posters and even map out possible travel routes in a search for a missing person. Other resources include links to state clearinghouses, medical examiner and coroner offices, law enforcement agencies, victim assistance groups and pertinent legislation.
When a new missing persons or unidentified decedent case is entered into NamUs, the system automatically performs cross-matching comparisons between the databases, searching for matches or similarities between cases.
NamUs also provides free DNA testing and other forensic services, such as anthropology and odontology assistance.

Common medical record-keeping questions: "Common medical record-keeping questions
By Claire Turcotte, Esq.

* React to this article in the Discussion Forum.
Most physician practices have policies and procedures, whether formal or informal, for maintaining, producing and retaining medical records. Often things are done 'the way we have always done them.' While this approach is probably adequate most of the time, many physician practices remain unclear about certain legal requirements affecting medical record-keeping. As a result, they are not confident that their current practices meet legal requirements. To help address this problem, this article clarifies many commonly ill-understood aspects of medical record-keeping.
What is Included in a Medical Record? Surprisingly, just what constitutes the 'medical' record is often a point of confusion for physician practices. Under Pennsylvania law a medical record is all 'clinical information pertaining to the patient which has been accumulated by the physician, either by himself, or through his agents.' According to the Pennsylvania Medical Society, the patient’s medical record includes results of diagnostic tests, x-rays, physician notes, and any records from prior treating or consulting physicians. This means that when a patient brings records from one physician to another physician, those records should become part of the latter physician’s medical record. In addition, Pennsylvania law does not expressly include a patient’s billing or business records in the medical record. As a result, some practices elect to maintain business records separately from medical records."

I. Introduction
Food and drug production has been regulated by the United States since 1906. The Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') is one of the oldest consumer protection agencies in this country. The FDA protects the public from unsafe foods and drugs to medical devices and cosmetics. It also protects the rights and safety of patients in clinical trials of new medical products.
The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, commonly known as the Hatch-Waxman Act ('Act'), was passed to expedite the FDA's approval of generic drugs. Studies show that since its inception, the Act increased the number of generic drugs by 50%, with almost every leading drug, off-patent, competing with at least two generic brands. The generic drug industry has become a multi-billion dollar industry.
The Act attempts to increase competition and drive down drug prices while simultaneously maintaining the brand name drug companies' incentive to invest in new research. It is arguable that the Act has achieved its purpose. Brand name drug companies ('Branders'), however, are fighting to retain their monopoly on patents. These Branders have found loopholes in the Act by which they extend their patents and tie up generic approval. To put the story in context, one week of patent extension translates into hundreds of millions of dollars for Branders. In response, legislators are fighting to close these loopholes and to lower healthcare costs. This paper is a research guide for individuals interested in the generic pharmaceutical industry, whether it is a consumer, chemist, consultant or attorney. The rise in healthcare costs and the inclusion of prescription drug coverage by the Medicare Program are just two of the catalysts for this growing field. This paper guides individuals to current laws, regulations, cases and news-worthy articles concerning the industry. Furthermore, the paper explores public policy arguments and political rhetoric surrounding generic pharmaceuticals.
II. The Basics
a. TerminologY: The amount of time you spend searching a subject is decreased when the correct spelling and terminology are employed. When I first started searching the internet and library cataloging systems, I grew frustrated because the search yielded an unfocused result. I have included the following search terms to help you with your search and allow you to supplement this pathfinder with updated searches. Here are the Trigger Words: (1) generic drug, (2) pharmaceutical drug, (3) Hatch-Waxman Act, (4) pharmaceutical patent, (5) abbreviated new drug application, (6) generic pharmaceutical, and (7) pharmaceutical patent extension.
b. Where to Start
By today's standards a thorough search begins with Google. It's true, Google's search engine yields a plethora of websites, information and advertisements. Many of the hits, however, will be worthless to your research. Nevertheless, begin your search with Google and if you see any interesting sites, click on the link.
A word of advice: if a website ends in '.gov,' it is government sponsored, '.org,' organizationally sponsored, '.edu,' school sponsored, and '.com' is a catch-all. Be careful to evaluate the websites to make sure you are not receiving any false or misleading information.
I would suggest you arm yourself with a background and history of the industry before you dive into particularized research. A wealth of knowledge as to patents, generic drugs and the regulation of the industry can be found on www.fda.gov. FDA.gov contains links to the Orange Book, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research ('CDER'), and the majority of information that anyone would need. The website also provides a Drug Information Pathfinder.
To search for books, use the Trigger Words and search Amazon.com. It is nice to search Amazon before going to your local library because a search yields the most popular and current books in the market. Additionally, you can browse the books online before searching for the hard copy. The search on Amazon will also yield journal articles and periodicals that you can order for a low price without having to subscribe to the journal.

>>> '75 Years of IRS Criminal Investigation History' was written and published by the Internal Revenue Service. It chronicles the IRS unit that makes sure that people and companies cough up what they owe in federal income tax.
If you request this book-length report from the IRS via the Freedom of Information Act, you'll receive a document with many names and passages blacked out. Luckily for us, the IRS also published this report as an uncensored perfect-bound book and sent it - via the Government Printing Office - to Federal Depository Libraries in 1996.

>>> '75 Years of IRS Criminal Investigation History' was written and published by the Internal Revenue Service. It chronicles the IRS unit that makes sure that people and companies cough up what they owe in federal income tax.
If you request this book-length report from the IRS via the Freedom of Information Act, you'll receive a document with many names and passages blacked out. Luckily for us, the IRS also published this report as an uncensored perfect-bound book and sent it - via the Government Printing Office - to Federal Depository Libraries in 1996. The IRS soon realized that the report shouldn't have been released, and it made the GPO demand that libraries return it. [Other such actions are listed here.] Thus, some copies are still floating around."

Justice Sometimes, Karma Always
LAS VEGAS - DECEMBER 5: Fred Goldman, father ...
From Wikipedia:
Justice is the concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, fairness and equity. A conception of justice is one of the key features of society.
The idea of karma was popularized in the Western world through the work of the Theosophical Society. Kardecist and Western New Age reinterpretations of karma frequently cast it as a sort of luck associated with virtue: if one does good or spiritually valuable acts, one deserves and can expect good luck; conversely, if one does harmful things, one can expect bad luck or unfortunate happenings.[citation needed] In this conception, karma is affiliated with the Neopagan law of return or Threefold Law, the idea that the beneficial or harmful effects one has on the world will return to oneself. Colloquially this may be summed up as ‘what goes around comes around.’"

John Caylor is the Editor/CEO of Insider. John is an experienced criminal intelligence analyst, field investigator and photojournalist with approximately 30 years experience. John has first hand working knowledge of organized criminal operations and personally knows many of the players. Over the last 3 decades many corporate, government and criminal organizations merged into fascism in nations around the world and John has tracked many of these entities. His other areas of expertise include domestic terrorism, political corruption, bank fraud, corporate securities fraud, money laundering, narco-terrorism, murder and RICO civil and criminal conspiracy cases.
American Gangsters and sleazy Politicians who have aligned themselves with the new wave of fascism spreading across the globe like to refer to investigative journalists as Conspiracy freaks. Let them rave on and have their last say - Congress in all it's former wisdom codified 18 U.S.C. the RICO Racketeering and Interstate Criminal Organizations Act dealing death blows to many of these gangsters grandfathers and their criminal organizations such as La Cosa Nostra and the Dixie Mafia.
At Insider-Magazine.com we do in depth "analytical stories" that connect the dots on these gangsters, businessmen and politicians who wear the best clothes, eat in the finest restaurants and live in mansions all while earning their living stealing retirement funds, robbing taxpayers and even murder. We work diligently to bring truth, documentation and exposure of their evil deeds to the public arena and have been successful in aiding law enforcement agencies in putting many of them behind bars.
Feeling their own impotency many corporate members of our profession try declare us to be activists and shun us for they are concerned about their next meal or cocktail party with gangsters who keep them in vogue. Our values and credibility are vastly different and we are honored members of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. and the Investigative Reporters and Editors of America. Investigative Journalism is a dangerous profession and all of us strive to serve our country as the fourth branch of government, ringing the bell in the face of tyranny and informing our readers of the latest threats to their freedom. We hope that your will enjoy the collection of articles and come back often for new stories as they develop.

Policeshooting-READ COMMENT AFTER YOU WATCH IT...THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT - Policevets.org: "POLICE SHOOTING, PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST!!!! THEN READ THE COMMENT ABOUT IT....
Watch the video and what do you see? The Officers are ordering the
suspect to put the rifle down and it 'appears' he is complying and
then he's shot! Is that what you see? Want to know what it is like to
work the streets and what the police face every day?
Watch the video again and watch the suspect's right hand while he
places the rifle down with his left hand! What you don't see, but
the officer behind the suspect does see, is the suspect pulling a
hidden handgun from his rear pants with his right hand. Just a
reminder, what you think you see at first does not always tell the
truth. Watch it again, and again and learn! The media would have
stopped showing this clip at the point just before you can see the
handgun in his right hand!"

The Dead Kids of MySpace
The Dead Kids of MySpace: "MySpace Removes Over 90,000 Sex Offenders
Pressure still mounts as war continues:
On Tuesday, MySpace said they have identified and removed over 90,000 different sex offenders.
That number was almost double what the company had originally estimated last year which promoted Attorney Generals in two different states to demand more be taken by the News Corp. owned social networking giant.
Last year, MySpace and rival Facebook implemented several safety features including different ways to verify a user's age and limit the ability of adults to search for members under the age of 18.
Anyway, while something at least has been done by both sides regarding sexual predators using the site, all a sex predator really needs to do is create an underage alias and bi-pass the already 'new' flawed implementations.
Regardless, this is still a step in the right direction and after 3 years of doing this, I've noticed that things have gotten somewhat better over there.
Now on Facebook an argument could be made..."
