318學運辯護律師 准轉法官
司法院今天公布11位103年律師轉任法官的錄取名單，積極參與人權議題、也是318學運義務辯護律師事務所的林昶燁也在名單內，遴選委員會委員一度為此激辯，最後同意錄取。
司法院統計，去年共有具3年以上律師事務所執業經驗的律師86人報考轉任法官。
法官法從2012年7月上路後，司法院因應新制，將逐年增加甄試律師轉任法官的人數，相對的，也將逐年降低經國家考試進用法官的人數，以達到多元進用法官的目標。
司法院計畫7年後，將司法官特考錄取人數，降到只剩2成；最近幾年，經國家考試錄取的司法官人員逐年降低，去年只錄取54人，最近5年的錄取人數都不及百人，相對錄取率大約只有2%左右。
律師出身的司法院長賴浩敏上任後，體認法官人事制度也是司法改革的攸關重要事項，逐步推動法官進用來源變革。
據了解，考試院也研擬從修正司法官考試相關規定，計畫在未來的司法官特考中，增列律師證照組，讓具律師資格，且具有3年以律師執業經驗的律師報考，直接改善法官進用的來源，此外，也將一般組應考人員資格的55歲年紀上限予以刪除。
性侵被害人 6成未成年
寒假及農曆年假期，很多學生長時間掛網，流連臉書、LNE，當心成人視訊陷阱。衛福部統計，去年全年通報的性侵案件有1萬1086件，被害人未滿18歲者占六成，其中多為12-17歲，八成加害人為親屬、男友、同事、鄰居、網友等認識的人。
網友性侵案 比率上升
衛福部保護服務司司長張秀鴛表示，年假期間未成年的孩子容易沉溺網路世界，甚至受到有心人士利用視訊交友誘騙，進而發生性侵害。根據衛福部統計，前年性侵加害人為視訊交友者占5.2%，去年微幅上升至5.5%、有613名性侵加害者是網友。
張秀鴛提醒家長，應經常關心、注意子女生活與上網狀況，教導正確的網路使用「五不一要」觀念，包括：不要沉迷網路影響作息、不要暴露個人資料、不要傳送太過裸露的成人視訊及照片、不要單獨赴約、不要喝別人事先準備好的飲料，與網友約見面，要約在公開場合；有任何問題應尋求專業人士協助，例如撥打113保護專線或110報案專線。
另外，北市衛生局公布調查，去年追蹤關懷4207件自殺未遂民眾，有65.1%與感情、人際關係有關。
保二總隊刑大偵三隊在去年8月，接獲日本成人色情影片商240家委託「特定非營利活動法人知的財產振興協會（IPPA）」跨國來台提告，指稱高雄火車站旁的建國電腦街上，有多家業者公然陳列販售未經授權的日本成人色情片。
警方蒐證後去年12月底前往查緝，發現共有5間商家販售盜版免費A片，另還查獲1間燒錄工廠。警方查扣所有影片光碟，初估有碼色情片約10萬片，無碼片約2萬多片，侵權市值約在8千萬上下。
涉案的江姓（36歲）、顏姓（31歲）等7名業者，經警方偵訊後被依妨害風化和違反《著作權法》送辦，至於求償的金額，將由日本片商討論後決定。IPPA在台代表羽部康裕透過翻譯員表示，因台灣公然販售侵權成人影片，加上毫無管制，導致身心不成熟的學生或孩子可輕易購買，是此次提告的主因，盼警方執法讓業者能自律。
警方則表示，查扣的免費A片數量之多無法逐一播放查看，但裸露煽情的女優封面，影片內容不用多解釋，也知道是在演什麼。
Do You Need To Hire An SEO?
Google continues to get better at evaluating external clues to determine the value of a website and thus its relevancy to searchers. Small business owners can control a lot of these things themselves by having an active social media presence, providing exceptional service and encouraging customers to leave reviews online, hosting or participating in community events, and writing for publications in their industry. Does that mean that the role of an SEO is diminishing or, dare I say it, no longer necessary to achieve first page rankings on the SERPs?
No, it doesn’t.
First of all, the practices mentioned previously are becoming more important but there’s an increasing number of ways to maximize their value.
RHL keeps pace, from Screen printer to LED billboards
For more than 45 years, Rheaume's House of Lettering has left its marks across Minnesota.
Through Screen printer signs, T-shirt graphics and other products, RHL Inc. helps companies communicate a message, often a logo.
The latest significant shift the family-owned and -operated firm made was a move into the digital billboard market.
"Adapt to the times," as Wendy Rheaume said. She helps manage sales for RHL with her husband, Troy, whose parents started the company in the late 1960s.
As he grew up, Gaston and Janice Rheaume's son washed screens and completed other small tasks at the home-based business. After a post-high school stint in the Army, Troy Rheaume returned to RHL and later convinced his parents to buy sign-making equipment, according to Wendy.
About seven years ago, the company purchased a digital printer for $250,000. But screen printing remains the best choice for large runs or simple designs, Wendy Rheaume said.
RHL also maintains the black sign and vehicle wrap segments of its company. Small items such as mugs and pens remain part of the business as well, as do T-shirts.
A recent order saw "all hands on deck" producing 20,000 shirts, Wendy Rheaume said. After Pad printer, staff had to hand-fold each item and put them in individual bags. The push was possible because of having a cross-trained staff, she said.
律師轉任法官 錄取率相對高
近3年來，律師錄取人數每年都有近千人之譜，以致外界憂慮錄取人數過多，恐造成流浪律師潮，而司法院為改變法官的進用管道，讓律師一圓當法官的夢想，更可以藉由律師事務所的執業經驗，豐富裁判品質；對照司法官考試錄取率僅2%的高門檻，律師事務所轉任錄取率近1成，儼然成了當法官另一個捷徑。
據司法院統計，近年來申請轉任法官的律師不到百人，去年有86人，前年最多有109人報考，由於司法院對報考轉任法官，有資格限制，至少要有3年以上的律師執業經驗，但換算錄取率將近有1成，2012年錄取21人，錄取率更高，超過2成。
法界人士說，司法實務界中，確實是有部分的法官，裁判品質差，以致外界有「奶嘴法官」、「恐龍法官」的譏罵，司法為解決罵名，希望從進用法官的管道來進行改革，同時淘汰不適任的法官，雙管齊下，讓人民對司法改革有感。
法界人士說，逐年政策大幅錄取近千名律師，是好是壞，各有不同的看法。有人認為只是每年增加千名具律師資格的「法務」，也有人認為，有競爭才有進步；但在律師市場中，小律師難有立足之地，大部分的案源都掌握在資深或已累積聲望的律師上。

SEO Is Complex And Requires Long-Term Thinking
A lot of the technical side of SEO is troubleshooting. The fact is, it isn’t always evident why your rankings are fluctuating. For example, is it possible that an SEO tactic used in the past is now being recognized as spam, meaning that its value has been discounted within Google’s ranking algorithm. That could lead to a huge drop in rankings, and an SEO consultant’s efforts that have been making slow, positive progress might be obscured or blamed for this.
It’s important to understand that there are many variables going on with your SEO. The consultant or in-house SEO is working with all the SEO, design, code, etc., decisions made in the long past, the recent past, the present, and the future. That’s why it is incredibly important to start out an SEO relationship with an audit of the site. This is going to uncover those problems that wouldn’t normally show up on your radar screen and expose the damage that they may be doing to your site.
Once you have a solid foundation, develop an action plan to move forward in bolstering your site’s reputation and reach. Sometimes, when fixing a site from some major foul play, you’ll see worse results before you see eventual and steady improvement.
For example, in a recent conversation with forensic SEO consultant Alan Bleiweiss, he described to me a case with one of his clients which illustrates the need to take the long view on SEO projects.
3-D列印 提供醫師練刀機會
The surgeon held a translucent white plastic eye socket in each hand. Gently moving them away from each other, Dr. John Meara showed the distance between Violet Pietrok’s eyes at birth. Then he slid the sockets closer to demonstrate their positions 19 months later, after he had operated on her.
Violet, now nearly 2, was born with a rare defect called a Tessier facial cleft. Her dark brown eyes were set so far apart, her mother says, that her vision was more like a bird of prey’s than a person’s. The bones that normally join to form the fetal face had not fused properly.
Her parents, Alicia Taylor and Matt Pietrok of Oregon, sought out Dr. Meara at Boston Children’s Hospital because the plastic surgeon had performed four similar operations .
Before he operated on Violet, Dr. Meara wanted a more precise understanding of her bone structure than he could get from an image on a screen. So he asked his colleague Dr. Peter Weinstock to print him a three-dimensional model of her skull .
That first model helped him to decide what might need to be done and to discuss his treatment plan with her family. Three more 3-D printouts allowed Dr. Meara to rotate the model skull , then cut and manipulate to determine the best way to push Violet’s eye sockets more than 2.5 centimeters closer together.
Such 3-D-printed models are transforming care, giving surgeons new perspectives and opportunities to practice, and patients and their families a deeper understanding of complex procedures.
“There’s no doubt that 3-D printing is going to be disruptive medicine,” said Dr. Frank J. Rybicki, chief of medical imaging at the Ottawa Hospital . “It makes procedures shorter, it improves your accuracy,” he said .
For now, the Screen printerr extrudes a layer of liquid plastic instead of ink. It adds a second layer, and then another, and a skull or rib cage slowly emerges. The same process can print layers of human cells , blood vessels, simple organs and bits of bone. A Utah boy’s life was saved last year by a 3-D-printed plastic splint that propped open his windpipe.
Dr. Weinstock, the director of the Pediatric Simulator Program at Boston Children’s, sees 3-D models as part of a larger program to improve surgical craft. At Children’s and a dozen other pediatric centers around the world, he says, the surgical simulation program he developed improves team communication and trust, and lifts confidence before extremely complex operations. Dr. Weinstock is convinced that the $400,000 3-D Screen printer has prevented many errors.
The models of Violet’s unusual skull allowed Dr. Meara to anticipate what he would find .
Dr. Meara had received printed models of other patients’ skulls before, but only after waiting weeks for a single replica, at a cost of thousands of dollars. Dr. Weinstock’s Pad printer generated four copies in a few days, each costing about $1,200 and accurate to within a hair’s width.
Dr. Meara noticed that in their ideal positions, the bones of the eye sockets would bump into each other, limiting Violet’s vision. He modified his cuts to avoid that collision.
“The ability to physically move those segments is huge,” Dr. Meara said. “Otherwise, you’re doing it for the first time in the operating room.”
On Violet’s surgery day in October, Dr. Meara consulted a model in the operating theater. The surgery went as planned.
At Brigham and Women’s Hospital near Boston Children’s, an even more sophisticated 3-D Pad printer replicates flesh as well as bone, and even prints the tools needed to make the cuts.
“When it comes time to operate, you don’t need to fiddle around, it’s all there,” Dr. Rybicki said. “You have unprecedented surgical planning, and you have unprecedented accuracy.”
Comparing models from before and after surgery offers clues to why some tissue grafts take hold and some are rejected, Dr. Rybicki said.
As 3-D printers improve, so will surgical outcomes, Dr. Rybicki said. Soon, doctors will thread catheters through replica blood vessels, map out how to bypass aneurysms, and feel the tactile difference between tumors and healthy tissue .
Violet’s parents, who have five other children, including Violet’s healthy twin, Cora, said they felt comforted by Dr. Meara’s extensive preparations.
On the day of the operation, when the surgeon came out to speak with the family, “he was smiles from ear to ear,” Ms. Taylor said. “He said it went perfect.”
Knowing every move he would make, she added, was hugely different “from busting her open and saying, ‘How do we fix this?’ ”
