Is it a violation of ethical standards to enable a client to abuse drugs, construct their will, fail to update their will, pretend to have sex with their client, pretend to be the father of their clients new born, name yourself as executor of the client's dead son estate and think it applies to the dis-inherited daughter of the client?

On Sept 10th, 2001 Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon had lost track of 2.3 trillion. That's 8,000 for everyone in the U.S. How could they lose track of that much money and why has there not been a formal investigation. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is fact.

On Monday, February 19, 1945, U.S. Marines hit the sands of Iwo Jima.

More US Marines earned the Medal of Honor on Iwo Jima than in any other battle in US History.

In 36 days of fighting there were 25,851 US casualties (1 in 3 were killed or wounded).

Of these, 6,825 American boys were killed. Virtually all 22,000 Japanese perished.

American air forces pounded Iwo in the longest sustained aerial offensive of the war.
"No other island received as much preliminary pounding as did Iwo Jima."
. . . Admiral Nimitz, CINPAC

Incredibly, this ferocious bombardment had little effect. Hardly any of the Japanese underground fortresses were touched.

Twenty-two thousand defenders of Japanese soil, burrowed in the volcanic rock of Iwo Jima, anxiously awaited the American invaders.
Almost one hundred thousand men would fight on a tiny island just eight square miles. Four miles by two miles. If you're driving 60 miles an hour in your car, it takes you four minutes to drive four miles. It took the Marines 36 days to slog that four miles. Iwo Jima would be the most densely populated battlefield of the war with one hundred thousand combatants embraced in a death dance over an area smaller than one third the size of Manhattan island.

We live in Indiana and my husband's company was bought out a few months ago. The new company started "telling" them that they were going to be paid piece rate. No documentation of this or nothing. He made $10.98 an hour w/ the old company and now they came to them today and said that they were going to be making $7.95 per unit made. This is not per person either, this is shared w/ however many people are working on the line. How can they legally do this w/out any type of written notice??? It is going to be less than what he was making. Is this legal....please help??????
