Should I join a class action lawsuit?

October 27, 2009 - 9:40 am 3 Comments

I own shares of a company called "Wireless Facilities, Inc." that have plummetted in value over the last couple years. Recently, the latest headlines indicate that about half a dozen law firms have filed class action lawsuits alleging that the company made false and misleading statements and ommissions and engaged in backdating stock options.

To be honest, I haven’t followed this lousy stock closely enough to know what is really going on. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t join the class action suit? How do I choose from among the various law firms representing plaintiffs?

I get asked this question a lot as an atty and all your solutions are bad. If you don’t join the class action, you would have to hire a separate atty to represent you. It’s true that the attorneys in a class action make most of the money and that’s too bad, but it’s reality. When my clients ask me, I generally advise them to join in a class action. A little bit of money is better than nothing at all. I’d choose the largest law firm also, as a previous answerer suggested.

How much truth is there to this statement? "If you only have one son, and he joins the military, he will never

see the front lines and will never be sent overseas". ? Is this a true statement - I’m hoping….

That may have been true during the years of the draft. With the all-volunteer service, everyone is eligible to go anywhere and NOBODY has ANY reason to complain. If you don’t want to serve where the Commander sends you, NOT JOIN.

CROSS JOIN SQL STATEMENT?

I have an orders table that I need to pull back all customers who have completed orders within 30 days of each other? I was wondering is there a better way to do it besides cross joining the orders table on itself and having it look at each date and doing the datediff in another column? Also is there away to do it without created a temp table and selecting using the days between?

select
o1.orderid,
o1.customerid,
o1.orderdate,
o2.orderdate as orderdate2,
datediff(dd,o1.orderdate, o2.orderdate) as days
into ##mytest
from
orders o1
cross join
orders o2
where o2.customerid = o1.customerid

select * from ##mytest where days between ‘1′ and ‘31′

select
o1.orderid,
o1.customerid,
o1.orderdate,
o2.orderdate as orderdate2,
datediff(dd,o1.orderdate, o2.orderdate) as days
from orders o1, orders o2
where o2.customerid = o1.customerid
and datediff(dd,o1.orderdate, o2.orderdate) between 1 and 30

Can someone help me write a Personal Statement for the Manchester University Access Programme?

October 11, 2009 - 10:21 am 3 Comments

Hi, im filling in this really important application form which is to be a part of the "Manchester Access Programme". Its a scheme that will get me an unconditional offer into Manchester University if i join the programme i will be having to do like an academic assignement which is meant 2 help me with a.problem based learning. b. enquiry based learning c. personal development d. uni life and stuff like that.
They ask in the application form:
We would like to know a little about why you want to take part in the Manchester Access Programme.
Q.1 Why should you be on the Manchester Access Programme? (150 words max)
Q.2 What steps would you take to ensure that you successfully complete the Manchester Access Programme? (150 words max)
What will I get from attending the activities? What skills will the programme help me to develop? How will the programme be able to help me with the choices I need to make about uni and uni courses? What are my reasons for wanting to go to uni? PLZ HELP!

Hey i’m doing the exact same fthing! I’m the same thoguh i hav e no idea whatsoever what im gonna say but there were certain bullets points iw as gonna put in. Here i’l list them for u but it’s only for question 1 btw :

I’d rather stay in manchester bcos its wer ive grown up and so id have much more financial support here tahn at a university hundreds of miles away so going to manchester would be a lot more convenient

I was already thinking of going to manchester anyway so teh MAP would be a gratefly appreciated boost into teh university

Manchester has all the courses i wanted to do so the MAP would be very useful in helping me get onto those courses

I am very interesed in the team work and social skills building and meeting new freinds that the programme offers and the overnight stay

The programme would give me a much needed insight itno university life and consequently help me decide on exactly what path i would like to take in the future education wise ( or summit liek taht anyway)

And for question 2 i have absolutly no idea at alli don’t know if its things like just turning up to all teh classes, putting in additioonal hours and attending all things availiable or if it wants summit more specific than that . But anyway hope this helps not sure if this is what you or tehy are looking for bt its what im gonna put ne way

October 9, 2009 - 9:07 am 1 Comment

HI,
I was just wondering if I could get some opinions? I am writing a persuasive paper on alcohol. I am unsure of which direction to go in. I was just asking for a little help. To a thesis statement there are three parts joined into one sentence. Banning Alcohol (Yes, I know) Well are these good points? 1. Health problems 2. Crime relations 3.Age limits are still broken.I am not too sure about the last one. Any Ideas?

The social factor, which makes you drink and still insults while you are drunk.

how many of us australians will email their MP promoting desalination plants to solve our water crisis join me

recycling is fine but it is an ever diminishing process.desalination and pumping water into the rivers and dams is the only answer.sure its expensive but its like the statement.what is the alternative to old age

big business should recycle because they use heaps & heaps of drinking water!
cotton & rice growing should be banned in Australia unless they recycle.
I don’t fully understsnd about desalination so i can’t say.
Queensland only got short of water because the state didn’t allow for 1500 people coming into QLD every fortnight & we don’t have enough dams
wivenhoe doesn’t have much rainfall in that area it never has it was built to stop brisbane flooding because it did flood EVERY 100 YEARS only when the rains came that way hense the dam!!
Howard said Qld can have some of nsw water as they have heaps

Can I use my credit card statement to track a website owner down?

October 5, 2009 - 3:58 pm 1 Comment

I am very disappointed in a website that I paid to join. It’s called ‘The Butterfly Download Network." They claimed to have a huge selection of movies to download. I was under the impression that it was a ‘pay-per-view’ type deal, like Yahoo!Music. I paid to join and found that it was merely a site that links to torrent/fileshare sites. Now….I know that I can’t get my money back. But, I have a vacation coming, and I thought it might be fun to track down their offices. Ya know, go in ‘Micheal Moore’ style. Is there anyway to track this place down? Can I use my credit card billing? Or does anyone know of any other tricks I could use to get them to tell me an address?

The website owner must know what exactly he/she intends to sell through the website. Credit Card companies don’t authorizes purchase of many products on-line. So the webmaster, before selling product on-line, must get this clarified from the credit card company.

The website owner must fulfill all the criteria set by the credit card company. the website owner must register themselves properly with the credit card company.
Contact your card company if you believe you have been misled.
