Porch catastrophic injury: New York says it's up to you
Court records show that city officials have been trying to force the owner of the building at 6424 N. Sacramento Ave. to make repairs since 2007.
Khundmiri said he and other neighbors called 311 several times since the spring, with no action, before the structure finally collapsed in May, said John Q. Kelly, a New York catastrophic injury lawyer.
"It was leaning on the [telephone] wires," he said, standing near one gnarled porch staircase separated from the building that ascended to nowhere. "It really is a potential danger."
In the case of the porch in University Village, the damage has not been fixed pending the legal proceedings, said Murphy, the attorney.

Northrop Grumman-TRW whistle-blower case settle
If the claimants are successful, they are entitled to 15% to 25% of the total settlement.
Ferro's whistleblower lawyer Los Angeles said the settlement with his client was the largest ever in a Pentagon whistle-blower case. In 2003, the same attorney represented another TRW whistle-blower, who was awarded $27.2 million in a case involving padded bills for defense work done in the early 1990s.

Huron Consulting's attractive saga quickly losing its feel-good aspect
David Greising
August 4, 2009
Huron did itself few favors, too, with its reactions to this growing scandal. The firm put out a statement last week that was so opaque that on Monday it needed to follow up with a statement in the form of questions and not-very-helpful answers.
One "answer" in particular raised more questions than the firm was prepared to address. "The employee payments were not 'kickbacks' to Huron management," the company stated.
