More info can be accessed at the site referenced. "Forensic Accountant" was a new term to me. Sounds like some folks might poop their pants if DCF does utilize a forensic accountant.

6. What types of assignments does a Forensic Accountant perform?
Forensic Accountants become involved in a wide range of investigations, spanning many different industries. The practical and in-depth analysis that a Forensic Accountant will bring to a case helps uncover trends that bring to light the relevant issues.
Detailed below are various areas in which a Forensic Accountant will often become involved.
Criminal Investigations
Forensic investigations often relate to criminal investigations on behalf of police forces. For example, a Forensic Accountant may be retained by the R.C.M.P., the O.P.P., as well as by regional or local police forces and organizations such as the Law Society.
A Forensic Accountant's report is prepared with the objective of presenting evidence in a professional and concise manner.
Shareholders' and Partnership Disputes
These assignments often involve a detailed analysis of numerous years accounting records to quantify the issues in dispute. For example, a common issue that often arises is the compensation and benefits received by each of the disputing shareholders or partners.
Personal Injury Claims / Motor Vehicle Accidents
A Forensic Accountant is often asked to quantify the economic losses resulting from a motor vehicle accident. A Forensic Accountant needs to be familiar with the legislation in place which pertains to motor vehicle accidents.
Cases of medical malpractice and wrongful dismissal often involve similar issues in calculating the resulting economic damages.
Business Interruption / Other Types of Insurance Claims
Insurance policies differ significantly as to their terms and conditions. Accordingly, these assignments involve a detailed review of the policy to investigate coverage issues and the appropriate method of calulating the loss.
A Forensic Accountant is often asked to assist from either an insured or insurer's perspective in the settlement of a case.
Examples of these types of assignments include; business interruptions, property losses and employee dishonesty (fidelity) claims.
Business/Employee Fraud Investigations
Business investigations can involve funds tracing, asset identification and recovery, forensic intelligence gathering and due diligence reviews.
Employee fraud investigations often involve procedures to determine the existence, nature and extent of fraud and may concern the identification of a perpetrator. These investigations often entail interviews of personnel who had access to the funds and a detailed review of the documentary evidence.
Matrimonial Disputes
Matrimonial disputes from a Forensic Accounting point-of-view often involve the tracing, locating and evaluation of assets. The assets to be evaluated and valued may be businesses, property or other assets.
Business Economic Losses
Examples of assignments involving business economic losses include; contract disputes, construction claims, expropriations, product liability claims, trademark and patent infringements and losses stemming from a breach of a non-competition agreement.
Professional Negligence
These investigations are often approached from two different but complimentary perspectives, these being:
* Technical - has a breach of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or Generally Accepted Auditing Standards or other standards of practice occurred; and
* Loss Quantification.
If the professional in question is an accountant then a Forensic Accountant could be involved with both perspectives. If the matter involves some other profession a Forensic Accountant will normally be retained to perform only a loss quantification.
Mediation and Arbitration
Because of their familiarity and comfort with legal issues and procedures some Forensic Accountants have sought out special training and become involved in alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
ADR services include both mediation and arbitration and are designed to help individuals and businesses resolve disputes with minimal disruption and in a timely fashion.
Terri's California delegation is in talks with Jim Caveziel who by all accounts is in talks with Mel Gibson. This is developing...
I'm afraid to hope, but this is certainly beginning to look good.
7-8 a.m. if no one has spoken for that time.
bet this is really getting to the husband
Why, when he has the whole court structure of the nation's fourth largest state in his hip pocket?
What time zone tutstar?
Do you know, floriduh voter, if most of these "Republican" officials in Pinellas County are former Democrats who switched parties to be in the majority? If so, they were never committed to conservatism to begin with.

There are references to our heritage and the laws of the land that are based upon the Bible.
I know but it is in the press now and people are reading it and watching it on TV. LOL Michael Schiavo has manipulated the press all these years and they are on his side but they still are going to report what they were told by the new head of that dept.
The new head of the dept let people know some of the things they are looking at...at least she is helping get the word out. Greer will probably dismiss the report and seal it.
In May 2002, access to the patient was allowed for two physicians appointed by the family. At that time, my observation of Terri Schiavo in person occurred, having previously viewed videotape that was first shown at her first trial.

I later moved to the left arm and attempted to release contractures there. In order to get significant relaxation of the arm to a degree necessary to obtain a blood pressure, I worked for approximately 35 minutes to release the contractures enough to get arm extension to approximately 140 degrees.
snip
At one time, after working on her arm for approximately 20 minutes, and no further extension of the elbow was to be had, the father walked up and started speaking reassuringly to his daughter. The elbow immediately extended approximately another 20 degrees.This was during a time period that I had been talking with Ms. Schiavo, and the music was also running. Yet with neither the addition of the music nor my voice did the elbow extend. With the father coming to his daughter and speaking, she immediately extended the arm further.
snip
Extremities exam showed severe contractures in all four extremities. On the left upper extremity, she initially showed 4/4 on the Allen's spasticity scale about the wrist, fingers, and the elbow. However, with approximately 40 minutes of massage and release, the exam in this upper extremity showed spasticity on the Allen's scale, and at times, later in the exam, would show 2/4 on the Allen's exam.
The right upper extremity also showed 4/4 on the Allen's scale, and also improved with efforts at muscular tension release. However, time did not allow me the same degree of effort on her right upper extremity, and thus I am unsure of the degree of relaxation available in this area
There's a lot more there. I found it VERY interesting.
California has some wonderful pro life conservative activists. Sometimes I forget that because we're surrounded by so much liberal crap.
would you mind posting a list as people claim times? We may otherwise miss a time....what with all the CST/PST/EST. I will pray tonight and tomorrow at 6 - 7 EST (that would be 3 - 4 EST; what is that CST?)
that would be 6 - 7 PM, EST, tonight and tomorrow night; sorry.
EST
OOoooppppss,
should have said
Florida , the Twilight Zone!
Now THAT was a great letter! You are a woman after my own heart! Go, girl!! You gave Judge Greer what-for. I love you!!
Yes, I had forgotten some of the details. It is very interesting.
I am discusted that one doctor looked at her for ten minutes and filed a report that is unethical
Dr Hammesfahr said in his interview that there was a meeting set up with Schiavo about the bone scan. Before the meeting, Schiavo moved Terri to another facility.
Dr Walkers testimony
As stated in the discharge summary dated May 9, 1990, the doctors involved in Terri’s care, while she was initially admitted and then remained as a patient at Humana Northside, did not know what caused Terri’s collapse the night of February 25, 1990, there was only speculation.
However, according to the discharge summary the doctor reported that Terri’s neck was somewhat stiff, as well as the rest of her body, the night that Terri was admitted to the hospital.
Since 1993, all medical information including all of Terri’s medical records have been sealed by Michael Schiavo’s orders. It was just prior to the January 2000 trial that they were released to the Schindler’s lawyer for review. At that time, there were volumes of information, containing thousands of unsystematic medical documents that the attorney was allowed to search through.
The discharge summary revealing the information regarding Terri’s neck was discovered only recently, and after Judge Greer made his original ruling, February 11, 2000, to discontinue Terri’s food and hydration.
This information regarding Terri’s neck is consistent with the 2002 testimony of Dr. Bamabkidis and Dr. Hammesfahr stating that they both noticed something abnormal with Terri’s neck, and also the additional testimony of Dr. Hammesfahr where he compared Terri’s neck to that of another patient he treated, which was caused by attempted strangulation.
Thank you. I believe in telling it like it
is, and I didn't threaten him either.
When someone says, for the record that it is the rule
of the court that she is going to die, I can tell you right now...I should have said worse to him.
Dr Hammesfahr claims that Terri was sedated when being examined by other doctors. I'd appear PVS too.
