			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.calendar-365.com/2010-calendar.html#">Calendar-365.com</a> is a simple site that just has calendars. But the site makes it easy to move backward or forward to other years so you can check what day of the week a particular date fell on. Another handy feature is that you can click on a holiday in 2010 and see when that holiday will occur in future years. This is certainly helpful for a &#8220;floating&#8221; holiday such as Easter, but I love it because I can never do the math to figure out what day of the week Christmas or Halloween will be on next year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a recent post by  Anurag Acharya on the <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/finding-laws-that-govern-us.html">Official Google Blog</a>, anyone can now find federal and state court case opinions with Google Scholar. By entering either party names or topic (for example, disability) you can now search for the full text of legal opinions and articles.  And it’s free!</p>
<p>According to Acharya’s post, this addition to Google Scholar will allow the average citizen to:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">∙    be empowered by helping them learn more about the laws that govern us all;<br />
∙ understand how an opinion has influenced other decisions by exploring citing and related cases using the Cited by and Related articles links on search result pages; and<br />
∙    learn about the intricacies of law in the context of real-life situations.</p>
<p>We are grateful to the Google Blog for making everyone aware of this new feature. The following individuals are to be thanked as well for their efforts in making these legal resources available through Google: Tom Bruce (Cornell LII), Jerry Dupont (LLMC), Graham Greenleaf and Andrew Mowbray (AustLII), Carl Malamud (Public.Resource.Org), Daniel Poulin (LexUM), Tim Stanley (Justia), Joe Ury (BAILII), and Tim Wu (AltLaw).</p>
<p>Since we practice Social Security Disability law in Texas, which is in the Fifth Circuit, we gave the Google Scholar a test.  We entered the following search terms: “treating physician fifth circuit”</p>
<p>This search pulled up the important Fifth Circuit case from the year 2000 where the court set out, in Newton v. Apfel 209 F.3d 448 (5th Cir. 2000), the rules that govern how the Social Security Administration assigns weight to medical opinions and treating physician opinions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www92.wolframalpha.com/">WolframAlpha</a> is essentially an Internet search engine, in the same manner that Google is an Internet search engine. But WolframAlpha focuses on computational searches, and is simply astonishing in the depth of information it can present, and in the form that presentation takes. I have wasted long stretches of time playing with this search engine. The elegance of the site makes me wish I had become a scientist rather than a lawyer, just so I would know more questions to ask of it.</p>
<p>Go to the site and watch the <a href="http://www92.wolframalpha.com/screencast/introducingwolframalpha.html">video demo</a> &#8211; there&#8217;s a link to the video down on the right side of the home page. Here is the statement of goals from the site:</p>
<div id="ct_goals">
<h1 style="padding-left: 30px;">Goals</h1>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Wolfram|Alpha&#8217;s long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Wolfram|Alpha aims to bring expert-level knowledge and capabilities to the broadest possible range of people—spanning all professions and education levels. Our goal is to accept completely free-form input, and to serve as a knowledge engine that generates powerful results and presents them with maximum clarity.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Wolfram|Alpha is an ambitious, long-term intellectual endeavor that we intend will deliver increasing capabilities over the years and decades to come. With a world-class team and participation from top outside experts in countless fields, our goal is to create something that will stand as a major milestone of 21st century intellectual achievement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;ve been attending TECHSHOW, presented by the American Bar Association almost since the beginning, many years ago. It&#39;s always a highlight of my year. The enormous amount of technical information presented is only one reason to attend. Equally important to me is the opportunity to meet in person with many of the friends I correspond with online.</p>
<p>This is one event that lawyers can&#39;t afford NOT to attend. Now is the time to learn about new technologies and new methods of doing business.</p>
<p>I&#0160; think TECHSHOW is absolutely wonderful, and I recommend it very highly. It&#39;s aimed more toward the solo and small firm lawyer, but there are seminar tracks for IT specialists and Big Law members as well. The exhibit area is fascinating and the hallway conversations are always fun. Check it out at <a href="http://www.TECHSHOW.com">TECHSHOW.com</a>.</p>
<p>Here are some details, provided by the ABA:</p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">•&#0160;&#0160;&#0160; ABA TECHSHOW is the world&#39;s premier legal technology CLE conference &amp; expo. The three-day CLE conference is attended by more than 1,500 professionals each year and produces more than 50 legal technology CLE programs and training sessions in fifteen topical tracks.</p>
<p>•&#0160;&#0160;&#0160; The ABA TECHSHOW 2009 is presented by the ABA Law Practice Management Section, April 2-4, 2009, once again at the Hilton Chicago, in the magnificent Windy City! </p>
<p>•&#0160;&#0160;&#0160; TECHSHOW offers something for everyone—from new solos to large firm partners, from tech beginners to advanced IT directors—there are educational sessions for all. With plenty of “networking” time to talk with other lawyers and experts on the technology issues facing your firm.</p>
<p>•&#0160;&#0160;&#0160; The social networking and marketing with technology sessions, alone, are well worth the price of admission.&#0160; These seminars will help you generate new clients and new business from existing clients. </p>
<p>•&#0160;&#0160;&#0160; The growth of eDiscovery is not stopping due to recession, so lawyers must continue to learn and update their knowledge.</p>
<p>•&#0160;&#0160;&#0160; The sessions feature the best of the best in legal technology. Practicing lawyers and nationally-known legal technologists sharing practical strategies and ideas to build new business and make your firm or offices more efficient and cost-effective.</p>
<p>•&#0160;&#0160;&#0160; Expand your referral network by meeting other lawyers from around the country. Build relationships at organized activities such as TECHSHOW After Dark for entertainment, food and drinks. Participate in the Taste of ABA TECHSHOW and dine with speakers and other attendees at one of several Chicago restaurants. </p>
<p>•&#0160;&#0160;&#0160; Friday, April 3 is Solo &amp; Small Firm Day, offering lawyers in these firms a special one-day admission with two all-day tracks of seminars especially for small firms.</p>
