The majority of Duke Law School graduates choose to launch their careers working for a private law firm. In fact, Duke Law students are heavily recruited by leading national and international law firms. Much of the law firm hiring is done during "Fall OCI," or on-campus interviewing in August/September of the 2L year. For those interested in private practice, students frequently will return to their 2L summer employer following graduation. Our 2Ls are fortunate in that there are typically more than 300 interviewers participating in OCI and each would like to hire multiple Duke students, while there are only 200 2Ls actually interviewing for positions. For statistics regarding the placement and career choices of Duke graduates, click here.
At the same time, a number of our graduates choose to start with smaller firms in cities around the country. The law school participates in the North Carolina Small Employer Job Fair each year, allowing students to apply to these firms with 25 or fewer lawyers within North Carolina, as well as in job fairs in other cities.
If one is considering private practice, we strongly encourage students to do their own research and to initiate contact with law firms that are not participating in OCI or in other job fairs.
Duke students are also fortunate in that opportunities to meet with private practice lawyers abound outside of the interview context. Private law firms often host receptions to which they invite law students; they sponsor events and programs and send firm representatives; lawyers participate on panels or guest lecture; many of our alumni in private practice return for work or for reunions; and the list goes on. Often, relationships formed here lead to future employment or collaboration.
Over time, a large number of Duke Law School graduates choose to change law firms, move in- house, join the federal or a state government, switch to the business side, join a non-profit organization, or to exit the practice entirely. At the same time, a number of our graduates follow the more "traditional" route and choose to remain and grow into a leadership position with the law firm they join upon graduation.

Noradjuha-Quantong booked a place in the Horsham District Netball Association A Grade grand final with an 11-goal victory over Edenhope-Apsley in a second semi-final at North Park, Stawell on Saturday.
Bombers coach Shannon Couch was rapt with the 53-42 win.
"Every single one of our girls did what they had to," she said. "I couldn't have asked for any more."
The Bombers held a slender one goal advantage at the first change, which it extended to three at half-time.
The match was still anyone's at three quarter time, with Noradjuha-Quantong leading by four goals.
"It was close all game it was only in the last quarter that we got a few goals up on them," Couch said.
The Bombers shot 15 final-quarter goals to eight to cement the win.
Couch deemed it their best performance so far this season.
"We haven't played like that all year," she said. "To come out and do it in our first
final where you always have some
nerves was great."
Couch was named best for the winners, with Sammy Mulraney taking the honours for the Saints.
Edenhope-Apsley coach Leonie Lang said her side fought gallantly.
"I thought our girls played really well," she said.
Defender Emma Ryan injured her ankle in a mid-week competition and did not play.
Lang said the side promoted Jenni Delaney from B Grade to play as goal keeper.
"It's only Jenni's first year back in netball since she was a junior and she did a great job," she said.
She is hopeful Ryan will be fit to play in this weekend's preliminary final against Kalkee.
The Saints will take confidence from a six-goal win against the Kees in the qualifying finals, but Lang knows the Kees pose a big challenge.
"It's going to be hard," she said. "We know we can beat them but you can never underestimate them."

Discussion in 'General MMA discussion' started by madictionary, Jan 8, 2013.
These guilty souls perform the ultimate sin of never throwing kicks during MMA fights. Who are they?
Jake Shields........Come to mention it he can't punch either.
It really is mostly wrestlers that don't kick.
Rampage, Big Country, Sotiropolous, both Diaz brothers.
Rampage is notorious for not kicking
I think Rampage should not be on this list. I think I remember him kicking a handful of times? Damn, I started this thread, but I can't think of any names right now that you guys haven't already listed
Tim Sylvia, Couture, Barnett, Randleman, Big Nog, Rampage, Henderson, JDS, Fedor, BJ, Coleman, Hughes & Tito. Those guys will never win a title, unless they start using kicks.
i dont think you can call what tito did for all those years kicking
Hughes actually used quite a few kicks in his fight against Renzo Gracie.
What about his highkick that ended his fight with Diego Sanchez ?
Sylvia used to throw kicks, 'cause I remember how awkward they used to look and was amazed that such a big man could throw a head kick. He did head-kick KO Tra Telligman.
Nick Diaz sometimes throws a high side-kick that I don't think I've ever seen land.
Not sure you can take him off of the list because one/handful of kicks throughout a career. I suppose if we took the Thread Title literally then nobody would be on it.
Shields throws a lot of body kicks. It's actually the one strike he is halfway decent at.
I think it just depends on the opponent/division, kicks aren't always vital. Sometimes it actually hurts a fighter because they suck at it and its way too telegraphed. JDS/Cain/Evans/Bisping/Fitch/Hendricks/Koscheck/Edgar/Penn don't kick much but they win a lot of fights.
Bj Kicks, Fedor does sometimes......
Nick Diaz threw a kick in the Condit fight. It was the most awkward and laughably bad kick I've seen in quite awhile but hey he tried.
dont knows whos are worse nicks or titos
I've been saying for years that BJ should kick, especially since he's so amazingly flexible. Then he finally threw ONE kick in his career at Diego and opened his head up.
JDS kicks a lot when sparring but not much in actual fights, he needs to add kicks to his arsenal, at least low ones. He's way to reliant on his right hand.
Good point! I think most wrestlers are hesitant to kick because it's not in their DNA. Wrestlers like to to close the distance, use their superior strength and control their opponent. To them, kicking leaves them exposed and requires patience and a less aggressive mentality.
But on the other hand, I think kicking is what makes fighters like Jon Jones & GSP so special. Not an easy thing for wrestlers to excel at.
Separate names with a comma.

GREENVILLE, Ill. - After qualifying for the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) tournament in three consecutive seasons, the Greenville College volleyball program is predicted to do so again as it was chosen third of nine teams in the preseason SLIAC coaches' poll.
The Panthers ranked behind Webster and conference newcomer Spalding as favorites. Greenville, who finished 16-13 (10-6 SLIAC), returns three all-conference recipients and a host of several other returners who will be depended upon to provide leadership to a squad that includes 10 highly regarded newcomers.
Leading the squad as a captain and senior is Lauren Finders who led the SLIAC last year in assists and was a second team all-conference player and the team's most valuable player.
The junior class features middle hitter Jessica Dothager, a second team all-conference player and team captain, as well as outside hitter Katelin Feyerabend who returns after earning SLIAC first team honors in 2008 and newcomer of the year in 2007.
Defending regular season and tournament champion Webster University has been picked as the pre-season favorite. The Gorloks went undefeated at 16-0 last season and posted a 23-6 overall record.
Spalding University was selected to finish second in the pre-season poll. The Golden Eagles received two first place votes. Their squad is eligible for the regular season conference championship and SLIAC awards, but due to their NCAA provisional membership, they may not qualify for the conference tournament.
Principia College rounded out the top four in the poll and also received one first place vote. Principia went 23-10 overall and 14-2 in conference play last year.

Things to Do
Your comprehensive guide to the best things to do in Bangkok
Awesome things to do in Bangkok this weekend
There are so many things to do in Bangkok this weekend, how will you choose? Luckily, we handpicked the best for you.
Things to do in Pan Road
You may have heard of Pan Road. It's where Bangkok's grandest Hindu temple, Wat Khaek, and the Embassy of Myanmar are located. But this narrow alley, which connects Silom and Sathorn roads, is also lined with cool galleries, shopping destinations and dining venues, all of which are worth a visit on a lazy weekend.
Things to do in BangkokFind more upcoming events
Sights and attractions in Bangkok
Bangkok best attractions
We'll call it right now: Bangkok is one of the most vibrant cities in the world. A curious mix of old and new, and East meets West, Bangkok asaults the senses with its majestic sights, exotic destinations, flavorful cuisine and exhilarating nightlife. This city has some of the best restaurants in Asia, the grandest temples and the most energizing massages this side of the world. There are too many sights to be seen, food to be eaten, and merriment to be made. We zone in on the most memorable experiences this exuberant city has to offer.
Devasathan & the Giant Swing
Standing in City Hall square, the Giant Swing (Sao Ching Cha) was originally erected in 1784 as part of the adjacent Devasathan, a Brahmin compound of shrines to Shiva, Ganesha and Vishnu. The Brahmin priests based here still officiate at royal and other official ceremonies (although no longer at the Brahmin New Year rite). In the past, a ceremony, meant to celebrate an exploit of the god Shiva, would require four brave men to swing from this lofty red frame to grab at pouches of coins. However, due to fatal casualties, the ritual stopped in the 1930s. The poles were erected in 1919 by the Louis T Leonowens Company to honour of the son of Anna Leonowens (the contentious governess in The King and I and a teacher in the Siamese court of King Rama IV). In 2006, the rickety timbers were replaced by the structure you see today
Wat Suthat
Looming behind the Giant Swing, Wat Suthat houses the awe-inducing, eight-meter Phra Sri Sakyamuni Buddha. (One of the largest surviving Sukhothai-era bronzes, this statue contains the ashes of King Rama VIII at its base.) Begun by Rama I in 1807, the temple took three reigns to complete. Rama II himself started the carving of its original teak doors (now in the National Museum).
Wat Pho
This vast temple houses the magnificent Reclining Buddha. Made from brick and gilded plaster, it measures 46 meters by 15 meters and depicts the posture of the Buddha while entering nirvana. Wat Pho also has 99 stupas, two of which hold the remains of kings Rama II and III. The latter insitute Wat Pho as Siam's "first university" during his time – wall inscriptions give lessons in astrology, history, literature and, famously, massage pressure points. The temple remains a repository of traditional medicine and nuad paen boran (ancient massage), and, until now, accommodates a massage school in its premises.

Toward a Theory of Online Buyer Behavior Using Structural Equation Modeling
This paper develops a theory of online buyer behavior to explain the process buyers go through while making an online purchase in the digital marketplace. The theory has been empirically tested with primary data collected from mall-intercept systematic sampling and analyzed with structural equation modeling. The results indicate that buyers' attitudes to online shopping are shaped by their perceptions of value, ease of use, and the usefulness of online buying. The actual online purchase is influenced by their intention to use this option, which, in turn, is determined by their attitude toward online shopping. An actual online purchase was also found to give buyers an online shopping experience that significantly shaped their trust in online shopping and future intention to buy things online. Implications of the findings are also presented along with the recommendations.

TRENTON — Drug deals blocking city residents from pulling into their driveways, gunshots ringing out on a Sunday afternoon and allegations of city employee dealing drugs from his city vehicle.
These issues were all brought up at Tuesday's council meeting by residents, mostly out of concern that Police Director Ralph Rivera Jr. disbanded Tactical Anti-Crime units in December.
Rivera appeared before council to present his public safety plan, but spent some of the time criticizing those for being "negative" and "stirring the beehive." He claimed that the residents are not informed and that crime is not running rampant.
"Nothing is further from the truth," Rivera said, noting the uniform crime reports for January and February. "Overall, crime is down."
There have been six city murders and 42 people have been shot since the start of the year.
Trenton resident Donald Brokate experienced the sounds of violence as he left an inspirational church service on a Sunday last month.
"The air was ripped to shreds by the sound of gunfire," he said of the incident where a man was shot on Sanhican Drive.
Brokate said he is afraid to leave his home day or night out of fear of being hit by a stray bullet.
"We the residents of the city do not feel safe," he said. "We are becoming used to the violence because it has become so prevalent."
Also during public comment, resident Michael Walker said when he pulls into the alleyway to get to his driveway, he is constantly faced with drug deals.
"Sometimes I'm blocked by customers who are buying drugs," he said. "What's the plan to get rid of these people? Do we just knock on their doors with cookies and milk and ask them to stop what they're doing because they're ruining the neighborhood."
Walker highlighted the incident as a reason to not disband the TAC units.
City Council President Phyllis Holly-Ward was disappointed in Rivera's interactions with the citizens.
"In between your presentation, you used negative words," Holly-Ward said. "None of that has to do with what we want to hear regarding the plan."
Rivera, who was appointed in April 2012, said he disbanded the units due to scheduling. He said the TAC units were given off Saturday night until Tuesday, which is when a majority of the shootings occur.
To bring them in, he said the city would have to pay for overtime.
Rivera said he consented with the county prosecutor and sheriff, and state police and they agreed with him to disband the force.
"I already have more visible presence on the streets," he said. "I personally feel the response time is better."
His plan is to open more precincts.
Rivera said when he took over the force, it was faced with low morale due to 105 layoffs from 2011 and a lack of supervision. He said he has changed some things already, such as turning on an automated vehicle locator so officers aren't on duty just "parked in a parking lot."
Rivera said he has "increased supervision, increased morale and decreased liability on the street."
The most outrageous allegation Monday came from Lee Ingram.
He claimed to witness a city employee dealing drugs out of his city vehicle on city time.
"Next time I'm going to confront him and drag him out," he said. "Because it's clearly disrespectful to the city and my home."

|Cherries early morning in the Hollywood Hills (above)
I've been out of my little tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills due to construction for all of that time...emergency construction after water damage was discovered just days before Christmas.
Well now I'm back...still have lots of sprucing up to do on my little house but I am home!
A neighbor of mine had a little gathering/trunk show yesterday - she makes beautiful jewelry. I wandered by. Had a nice chat with several neighbors, caught up with all of what's been going on in the hood and even bought some jewelry.
This morning...I woke up...wandered down my stairs and across the little trail that is my street and took this photo.
Neighbors MR and JH have a cherry tree in their front yard. The other day, when I arrived home from High Point, NC market, MR welcomed me back and said, "Did you see we have cherries? You are welcome to eat some". So early this Sunday morning...I took him up on his offer...I pranced down the stairs from my house, across the trail, plucked two bright red juicy cherries off the tree and ate them. Delightful Sunday morning here in the Hollywood Hills. Just delightful. Thank you MR and JH.
Happy weekend!

Sally-Jane Heit grew up in Brooklyn rivaling for attention among her seven siblings. It led to her discovery as a natural performer singing, dancing and acting. After raising her three daughters in Washington D.C., she traded the nation's capital for capital performances in New York.
Heit is bringing her life-inspired show "Before I Forget..A Memoir with Music" to the Sanctuary Clubhouse March 27 for an intimate evening benefitting the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation an organization close to Heit's heart.
"I love SCCF," she said. "It moves my heart the most."

Sally-Jane Heit and Erick Lindblad
This seasoned actress first took the stage in Michael Bennett's Broadway musical, "Ballroom," which led to productions off-Broadway and beyond. Her film and television credits include "Tattoo," "The Paper," "N.Y.P.D. Blue" and "Guiding Light." After an inspirational encounter with actress Lily Tomlin, Heit wrote "Starting in the Middle," in which she also starred as a composite character, Harriet Ferment, based on her own experiences as a woman, mother and professional caught between changing times.
As audiences around the world recognized themselves in the hilarious, sad and sometimes neurotic portrait peppered with alter-egos, Heit's latest production leaves audiences enlightened and smiling. "Before I Forget..A Memoir with Music" blends comedy and song into a poignant portrayal of real life.
The songs that are interspersed throughout the dialogue are a highlight of the show. Many are original, while others will be familiar to the audience.

"The show is astonishing," said Luc Century, an islander who recently previewed the 2012 version of Heit's ever-changing show. "Its messages are simple yet as complex and layered as you want them to be."
To Heit, the show is about "the absurdity of life in particular, my life in relation to the absurdity," she said.
Besides Heit, the only other person on stage is Uel Wade, the musical director and pianist for the show. The pair originally met many years ago doing cabaret in New York City, and by a strange twist of fate they re-met after they both relocated to the Berkshires in Maine.
For Heit, this performance is her way of giving back. "It's time," she added.
Meet Heit following her performance while enjoying a decadent dessert buffet and champagne and coffee bar. The evening begins at 7:30 p.m.
"We deeply appreciate Sally-Jane and her support" said Erick Lindblad, the SCCF executive director.
SCCF is dedicated to the conservation of coastal habitats and aquatic resources on Sanibel and Captiva through environmental education, land acquisition, landscaping for wildlife, marine research, natural resource policy, sea turtle conservation and wildlife habitat management.
There is SCCF dedicated land adjacent to the Sanctuary property, where Heit's show will be presented. Community support through membership dues and tax-deductible contributions, in addition to grants and staff-generated revenue, makes the work of SCCF possible.
"This will be a great venue," Heit said.

The National Business System and Its Applications: Reflections from the Belgian Experience
MNCs exercise control across borders by transferring employment practices to their subsidiaries. By drawing from "national business system" some studies indicate home- and host-country effects as mediating the transfer. Accordingly, institutional variance is national specific. However, sub-national institutions as well as local actors' strategies are equally important. In the paper we originally use the concept of "institutional entrepreneurship" to illustrate how coordination mechanisms to mediate the transfer can be created beyond the national borders. Based on the Belgian case, we individuate three levels at which these coordination mechanisms operate: the region, the firm and the inter-firm.

- Words by Mr Chris Elvidge, Senior Copywriter, MR PORTER
Mr Sam Palladio has just returned from performing at the annual Ford's Theatre Gala in Washington DC - a trip that he recounts with a hint of disbelief. "We got to tour the White House the morning of the show. We met Michelle and Barack... uh, yeah." He pauses, visibly taken aback. "I just met the President." So it's only just sinking in? "I guess it is. Thinking about it, it's mind-blowing that in just eight months a TV show has given me the opportunity to do these things."
I'm an actor first and foremost, but
music has always been a real passion,
and I've never been able to give one
more weight than the other. I guess I'm
an actor who sings and plays
The TV show in question is ABC's hit series, Nashville, a drama set against the backdrop of the city's world-famous music scene and starring Mses Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere as rival country music superstars. One of the show's more curious aspects is the on-screen pairing of Ms Clare Bowen and Mr Palladio, who play aspiring songwriting duo, Scarlett and Gunnar. Their characters are both from out of town: Scarlett from Natchez, Mississippi, and Gunnar from Austin, Texas. In reality, though, they're both from a lot further away. The only two members of the cast to hail from outside the US, Ms Bowen is from the south coast of Australia while Mr Palladio is from Cornwall, England. So just how did a man from Penzance - England's westernmost town, and the spiritual home of the comedy pirate accent - wind up in "Music City", home of the long-running Grand Ole Opry country music concert, doing an impeccable impression of a Texan singer-songwriter?
"I'd been to drama school for three years, and accent work was something I'd always loved," he explains. "One of my final projects at drama school was a Tennessee Williams play set in the south, so I spent a couple of months working on it then. So when this job came up, I could look back at my old notes from a couple of years back and remember how it should sound." And did he have the chance to visit the city itself beforehand? "I actually booked the show in London off my audition tapes - I'd never been to America before," he laughs, that bemused expression flashing across his face again, as if the implausibility of it all has only just occurred to him. "They took a big chance on me."
Mr Palladio as the aspiring Texan singer-songwriter Gunnar Scott in the hit US television series Nashville
We're not so sure about that. He may lack his character Gunnar's Texan drawl and "Aw, shucks" demeanour, but there's something very apt about Mr Palladio's casting as the talented singer-songwriter (and it's not just a passing resemblance to a young Mr Bruce Springsteen). Brought up in a creative environment - his father was an artist and his mother ran a gallery - he picked up a guitar at an early age and spent his formative years being schooled in 1970s folk, citing Mr James Taylor as one of his heroes. He studied for an actor-musicianship degree at Rose Bruford College, a drama school in southeast London, alma mater to such names as Mr Gary Oldman. "It combined those two worlds really well," says Mr Palladio of his course. "You bring live music into all the performances you do, so you might be rehearsing Shakespeare while scoring music to accompany it. I consider myself an actor first and foremost - that's what I trained to do - but music has always been a real passion, and I've never quite been able to give one more weight than the other. I guess I'm an actor who sings and plays."
Actor, musician, actor-musician - whatever Mr Palladio's doing, it seems to be working. Nashville has been lauded by the critics, and a second series has been commissioned, while he'll soon be appearing alongside Mr Justin Timberlake in the upcoming thriller Runner, Runner, in which he plays an online gambling hotshot from London. "It was nice to be back in an English accent," he says of his time on set. But it's just a hiatus - he'll be returning to that familiar southern drawl for his most exciting project yet, the first collaboration between Disney and Lucasfilm since their 2012 merger. "It's called Primrose, and it's from the same studio and team that won the Oscar for Brave," he says. "Of course, I was a massive Star Wars fan as a kid, so when I heard about the announcement of the new movies I set myself a seven-year goal, and told myself that I had to be in them. And hey! - now I've got a job with the same company."
And, not for the first time during the course of this interview, Mr Palladio looks on with incredulity, in happy disbelief. Who can blame him? For a guy from Cornwall, he certainly seems to be living the American Dream.

Members of Reinbeck Fire Rescue are urging Reinbeck residents to take time to focus on Fire Prevention in your home. The 2013 Fire Prevention Week theme during October 6 -12 focuses on Prevent Kitchen Fires. Reinbeck Fire & Rescue wants to remind the citizens of Reinbeck of the importance of Fire Safety Education.
You can help protect yourself, your home & family by taking some basic fire precautions.
The reality is that when fire strikes, your home could be engulfed in smoke and flames in just a few minutes. It is important to have a home fire escape plan that prepares your family to think fast and get out quickly when the smoke alarm sounds. What if your first escape route is blocked by smoke or flames? That's why having two ways out is such a key part of your plan. This year's theme,"Have 2 Ways Out!", focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice. Do you have at least one smoke alarm on each level of your home? Are they adequately spaced around bedrooms & sleeping areas?
Have you checked your smoke detectors & alarms & test them monthly?
During winter months, keep space heaters 3' away from items that can burn.
Keep matches out of reach of children. Store in locked cabinets if needed.
Do you have a home fire escape plan and do you practice it?
Operation E.D.I.T.H. Exit Drills In The Home.
Practice your Fire Escape Plan.
Don't leave open flames & candles unattended.
Do you have adequate fire extinguishers located in the home?

Bloom wrote his stuff in 1956. This is just a pretty picture of some old ideas. It doesn't even capture all the dimensions Bloom was talking about. It seems to me this is just a way of using technology to push old ideas about what learning and knowing is.

Alan check the far left edge of the image. It does address the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy as outlined by Krathwohl http://www.unco.edu/cetl/sir/stating_outcome/documents/Krathwohl.pdf
Alan Ovens's comment, May 30, 2014 4:58 AM
Hi John. I appreciate the link and have looked at the articles. The point remains that the revision still represents an old way of thinking about learning and only concentrates on the cognitive domain. The first article does not appear to explain why the revision only deals with vol one of Blooms Taxonomy. What about the affective and psychomotor domains? I am curious why people keep pushing the overly cognitivist notion of this taxonomy when iPads (and more modern learning theories) give us a way of thinking about learning in enactivist and embodied ways. I think it is generally accepted that the cognitivist view of learning is fairly outdated. Mobile technologies and digital learning should be informed by more contemporary theory. I would be interested go hear your thoughts and anyone's else who wants to respond.

COMMUNITY CELEBRATION: From left, Paul Dakin, superintendent of Revere Public Schools; Debra Jacobson, administrative director of MGH Revere; Bernice MacIntyre, MGH Revere Marketing/Operations; Pasinski; Wood; and Revere Mayor Dan Rizzo
Although sunbathers were scarce on Revere Beach June 6 due to the unseasonably cool temperature and overcast skies, more than 90 staff and community members gathered across the street at the MGH Revere HealthCare Center to celebrate Community Health Day. This year's event – an annual opportunity for community health care professionals to network and attend presentations by MGH faculty – featured speaker Malissa Wood, MD, co-director of the Corrigan Women's Heart Health Program.
Roger Pasinski, MD, director of the Revere HealthCare Center, welcomed guests and introduced Wood, who in 2007 launched the Heart Awareness and Primary Prevention in Your Neighborhood (HAPPY) Heart program at the health centers in Revere and Chelsea. The group-oriented program aims to reduce cardiovascular disease in women ages 40 to 60 through screenings and aggressive prevention efforts such as exercise, smoking cessation and relaxation techniques. According to the results of a corresponding study, Wood said, HAPPY Heart program participants have experienced decreases in blood pressure, waist circumference and hemoglobin A1c – a marker of long-term glucose levels – as well as reduced stress, depression and anxiety levels. Wood emphasized that by improving their own heart health, women can encourage family members and friends to do the same.
The event culminated with the presentation of the annual Community Health Award to Ann Marie Costa, deputy superintendent of Revere Public Schools, honoring her commitment to the Revere community and its youth throughout her 31 years in the school system.

Ohio University received a lead gift of $100,000 from alumni Tom and Gwen Weihe that helped fund a renovation project of the Men's Basketball team's locker room at the Convocation Center.
"We both graduated from OHIO and this gift was one way to give back to the University," Tom Weihe said. "It was a way of thanking the University for everything it did to prepare me for a successful career." he said. "OHIO was instrumental in forming me. It taught me to be a successful person."
Weihe explains that he can also attribute his accomplishments to his parents and specifically his father, who taught him about the importance of making an impact in the world. Tragically, Weihe's father was killed in an airplane accident when Tom was 12-years-old. However, his father's words have stuck with him throughout his life.
"He taught me that when you make money, do good work and work hard. It's your obligation to take that money and do good works with it," Tom Weihe said. "When you do well, it's your responsibility to share those things with others."
The Weihe's gift is recognized outside the locker room with a plaque that reads, "To all of the Weihe and Gump family members who attended Ohio."
"Many of our family members went to Ohio University," he said. "This is a way of recognizing the Gump and Weihe family at Ohio University."
The Weihe's have supported numerous football team projects as well, such as the renovation of the coach's offices and conference room. When asked to help with the basketball team, they couldn't refuse.
Tom Weihe, a 1961 graduate of The Patton College of Education, played varsity soccer for OHIO. He serves on the Ohio University Foundation Board and is a member of The Promise Lives Campaign Committee for Intercollegiate Athletics. Gwen Weihe is also a 1961 Patton College of Education graduate and serves as the Women in Philanthropy of Ohio University Programming Co-Chair.
The Weihes' gift is part of The Promise Lives Campaign, Ohio University's capital campaign which seeks to raise $450 million by June 30, 2015. The Campaign has raised more than $425 million in support of students, faculty, programs, partnerships and select facilities at Ohio University. Learn more at www.ohio.edu/campaign.

For the first time in 3 ˝ years, Dan Quinn talked to his daughter on Tuesday night.
After years of court fights and lobbying lawmakers to change an archaic Michigan law, Quinn spoke with his beloved Maeleigh by phone. He was not sure if she remembered him. He was anxious about false stories the 6-year-old girl might have been told by her mother about her extended family.
But he was sure that he could explain to Maeleigh, a victim of child neglect, that he loves her and he is her true father.
Quinn, a resident of Highland, near Brighton, was not the target of a bitter divorce or a nasty child custody fight. He was shut down in gaining access to his daughter by a 1956 Michigan statute that said a woman's husband is legally presumed to be the father of his wife's children.
While fighting in court for access to Maeliegh (pronounced may-lee) and proving through a DNA test that he was the girl's biological father, Quinn also successfully waged a battle at the state Capitol to change the law. A new statute signed by Gov. Snyder last June led to two successive victories in Genesee County Circuit Court, on Feb. 13 and on Monday.
"Let this be a great testament that when both political parties come together, along with the community, great things can always happen. Thank you all again for everything everyone has done on behalf of my little girl," Quinn said in a Facebook message on Monday.
The judicial ruling earlier this month that said, in accordance with the new law, Quinn has legal standing to custody rights produced tears of joy from those on hand in the courtroom, including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins of the little girl they barely know.
The second court ruling on Monday gave Quinn the right to communicate with Maeleigh for an hour a day, four days a week, by phone or online via Skype. The initial reunion took place Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
Hours after the newest court decision, Quinn and his parents heaped praise on state Sen. Steve Bieda, the Warren Democrat who shepherded the law change through the Legislature. That emotional phone call ended with Bieda portrayed as a savior by family members.
The senator said lawmakers rarely experience such a "tangible, emotional result" from their work.
"I was very happy. There was a lot of frustration in trying to get this done. I worked very hard on this. We had a law that was blind to the realities of life," Bieda said.
Maeleigh, now about 6 ˝-years-old, is living in Kentucky with her mother, Candace Beckwith, who has fought Quinn's bid for a reunification with the girl every step of the way.
Quinn's heart-wrenching story began in 2006 when he fathered a child with Beckwith. Two years later, she reconciled with her estranged husband, Adam Beckwith, and eventually left Michigan — and took Maeleigh with her.
Quinn's legal battle to regain access to his daughter resulted in two consecutive court losses. The DNA test didn't matter, in the eyes of the court, and the fact that Adam Beckwith did not sign Maeleigh's birth certificate was tossed aside by the judicial system.
Meanwhile, the Beckwiths had taken up residence in an area near the Ohio-Kentucky border, where police said Adam was selling drugs — mostly ecstasy and marijuana — with the help of Candace and Maeleigh. Making street deals from his vehicle, Adam Beckwith put Maeleigh in the front seat as a diversion, assuming that the presence of the precocious child made him less suspicious to police.
In 2010, he was arrested and convicted in Kentucky of six drug-related felonies after a police raid turned up drugs in the Beckwith home. Adam Beckwith apparently remains incarcerated while Candace Beckwith, after pleading guilty to complicity to drug trafficking and child neglect, was granted probation.
With Quinn unable to intercede, the state of Kentucky restored her parental rights for the care and custody of Maeleigh.
In recent months, with the legal tide turning, Quinn consulted several experts on how to handle Maeleigh's transition back to a life with her father in Michigan. A child psychologist, working on a pro bono basis, has offered to help the girl adjust.
While Quinn enjoys his phone and video chats with Maeleigh due to his resurrected father-daughter relationship, he awaits a ruling from Judge John Gadola on his custody rights. The judge has promised to make the case the "top priority" of his court.
Meanwhile, a pink and white bedroom and a closet full of clothes that have been updated through the years await the return of little Maeleigh to her new home with her doting Dad.

FULLERTON, Calif. - Ericka Hansen went 3-for-3 with a homer and two runs scored as the UC Santa Barbara offense erupted for an 8-6 victory over Cal State Fullerton in game one before Tiffany Wright finished 2-for-5 with a homerun in the Gauchos 6-4 loss in the nightcap. Jennifer Davis notched the decision in both contests and earned her tenth win of the year.
The Gauchos, who had won six straight before falling in game two, improve to 16-10 overall, 1-1 Big West, with the split, while the Titans ` record is now 20-17, 1-1.
Saturday's win was only the second ever for Santa Barbara in Fullerton and the first since 1992.
UCSB struck first in the opener on a solo homerun to right center by Kendra Singley in the bottom of the first inning. The homer was Singley's third of the year, a team high.
Fullerton answered with a run in the bottom of the second on a sacrifice fly by third baseman Marissa Marzan, tying the score at 1-1.
The Gauchos then exploded for four runs in the fourth to take a commanding 5-1 lead. With one out, Hansen doubled to left center. Shortstop Brittany Putich then drew a walk and designated player Liz Walters was hit by a pitch to load the bases. The next batter, junior third baseman Shelby Hensler, reached on a fielder's choice and Hansen scored on an error by the Titan shortstop. Putich and Walters came home on bases loaded walks to freshman second baseman Christine Ramos and junior left fielder Jessica Hejna. Hensler scored the fourth run of the inning when Singley reached on a fielding error by starting pitcher Candice Baker.
After Davis retired the Titans in the bottom of the fourth, Santa Barbara tacked on two more in its half of the fifth putting the game out of reach, 7-1. Hansen led off the inning with her first homerun as a Gaucho on a towering blast to left field. The next batter was Putich, who walked for the second time and then scored on a one-out double by Walters.
CSUF added a run in the bottom half of the inning on an RBI triple down the right field line by left fielder Ashley Van Boxmeer and center fielder Jenna Wheeler's solo homer to left in the sixth brought the Titans to within four, 7-3.
Santa Barbara got a run back in the top of the seventh when Hansen reached base for the fourth time with a leadoff walk. She scored on a RBI single by designated hitter Adrienne Anderson.
The Titans did not stop fighting, adding three runs in the final inning on an RBI double by Van Boxmeer and a two-run homer by second baseman Courtney Martinez, but the Gauchos held on for the 8-6 win.
Davis earned the victory for UCSB after allowing six runs on seven hits with three strikeouts in her fifteenth complete game of the year.
Baker took the loss for Fullerton, allowing five runs--one earned--on four hits with five strikeouts in 3.2 innings pitched. Brooke Weekley came on in the fourth inning and allowed three runs on three hits with five strikeouts in 3.1 innings of relief.
Singley put UCSB on the board first in the nightcap as well, this time with a double to left center that scored freshman right fielder Jackie Conlin in the top of the third.
CSUF responded with four runs in the bottom of the inning. After freshman starter Tami Weston allowed a walk and hit a batter to start the inning, Davis came on in relief. With one out, first baseman Katie Gollhardt smacked a double to right field and both runners scored. The next batter, designated player Kiki Munoz homered to center field and the Titans took a 4-1 lead.
The Gauchos came right back with a run in the fourth on freshman first baseman Tiffany Wright's homerun to deep center field.
Ramos' RBI double in the top of the fifth brought Santa Barbara to within one at 4-3.
After Davis pitched her way out of a bases loaded jam in the sixth, Walters led off the seventh with a solo homerun down the left field line that knotted the game at 4-4.
Baker, the game two starter as well, battled Davis through the three straight innings, each pitching their way out of trouble in the games' final frames. The Gauchos put two runners on in the ninth, but Baker rebounded to retire the side.
Fullerton got things going in the tenth with an infield single by Martinez. Two batters later, Munoz homered for the second time, sending a long fly ball over the fence in left center field and the Titans outlasted the Gauchos, 6-4.
After falling in game one, Baker earned the win in the nightcap, allowing four runs on eight hits. She struck out 12 and walked four in 10 complete innings of work. Baker is now 14-6 on the year.
Davis falls to 10-7 after recording a 1-1 record. The junior allowed four runs on seven hits, while striking out five in game two.
The Gauchos and Titans wrap up their three game series Sunday at 12:00 p.m. at the Titan Softball Complex.

Jesus was casting out a devil and it was dumb; but when the devil had gone out the dumb man spoke, and the people were amazed. But some of them said, '"It is through Beelzebul, the prince of devils, that he casts out devils"
There's always someone to spoil the fun or to think, as in so much of our media, that cynicism is the right, response to enthusiasm. Somewhere lurking in the ego there is a little mechanism that is triggered whenever it senses expansion of spirit. It tries to pull down, draw back and control.
One has to watch for it, in oneself or in a group, because it is not the true critic that speaks the truth in love and that never fails to point out the positive. It is a false critic intent only limitation and negation. Once it has started it becomes contagious. Suddenly everyone is focused only on the negative and distrusts or rejects the creative.
In today's gospel Jesus casts out the demon of dumbness and restores the power of speech. In the desert, in meditation, we are exposed to the power of true silence. When silence meets the dumb demon of fear and pride that prevents us from telling the truth and bursts out only in negativity, then the demon is demolished. Fear is dissolved and pride is humbled. Then when we speak, if we speak, it will be in words that build up and restore the broken-hearted or the discouraged. Such speech does not cease to be immersed in the silence for which it flows.

LIMA, Peru -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is taking responsibility for security at the U.S. consulate in Libya where an attack by extremists last month killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. Pushing back against Republican criticism of the Obama administration for its handling of the situation, Clinton said Monday in Lima, Peru, that security at all of America's diplomatic missions abroad is her job, not that of the White House.
In television interviews, Clinton said she is responsible for State Department security and "for the more than 60,000 people around the world." She told Fox News that "the decisions about security are made by security professionals." She also made similar comments to CNN about taking responsibility.

The collection includes eight albumen prints from wet-plate collodion negatives taken early in Thomson's photographic career. The images of Penang, Malaysia, are all signed by John Thomson, with five dated November 1863. Subjects include Malay people, a native infantry regiment, sugar mill, temple, and Thomson's widely reproduced image of tree ferns.

We're ten days in to the 2013 January transfer window and the usual bombardment of rumours and links have not disappointed – but how have the top teams in the Premier League been getting on in their latest recruitment processes?
Manchester United are currently sitting pretty at the top of the table by seven points over rivals Manchester City, but even many of their fans feel certain that additions need to be made.
Chelsea are in third but struggling and the Stamford Bridge crowd have been crying for a managerial change as much as any personnel tinkering.
Tottenham Hotspur are on a good run of form, but their inconsistency has been exemplified by their early season wobbles late in games, so some January shopping may be advisable.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger continues to infuriate Gunners fans by flipping between saying he is looking for "one or two" signings, to insisting they need to concentrate on getting Theo Walcott to sign a new deal.
GMF have assessed the comings and goings in the window and have identified what each side needs to do in the final two thirds left of the window.
Manchester United
Business done: Nobody has been brought in so far but a number of youngsters have been sent out on loan, while Joshua king and Robbie Brady have been sold.
What needs to be done? Sir Alex Ferguson is well stocked in the attacking department, but the defence has been shaky and the midfield seems to lack something. Perhaps a defensive midfielder like Victor Wanyama of Celtic to better shield the back four, but Ferguson appears content with outscoring opponents for the time being.
Manchester City
Business done: Nothing. Roberto Mancini was moaning about not getting the players he wanted in the summer and has recently suggested there may be no movement in or out of the Etihad Stadium.
What needs to be done? City have not been scoring as freely as they were last season, while defensively they appear a touch less solid. The goals conceded could be down to missing Nigel de Jong, but the club's billionaire owners are unlikely to sanction another addition to that area with Javi Garcia and Jack Rodwell acquired in the summer.
They have a wealth of options in the striking department, but Edin Dzeko has been inconsistent and Mario Balotelli continues to be a conundrum. Perhaps a new face to refresh things will help but, again, it will likely have to be after offloading others.
Business Done: Surprise, surprise; nothing in. Wenger continues to frustrate by waiting for the perfect deal, but he has gone about offloading some of the deadwood in the Gunners squad. Marouane Chamkh has gone to West Ham, Johan Djourou joined Hannover and Andrey Arshavin is expected to leave.
What needs to be done? Where do you start? Inconsistencies up front suggest a proven and experienced goalscorer is needed. The lack of a natural defensive midfielder has meant Mikel Arteta being deployed in an unfamiliar role, so a more naturally defensive player, like Lucas Biglia, to lighten some of the load would be wise.
Walcott's contract needs to be sorted one way or another and recent reports have suggested it is close. Add this to the return to action of Abou Diaby and don't be surprised to hear Wenger say something along the lines of it 'being like two new signings'.
Tottenham Hotspur
Business Done: Yes! Promising young Germany international Lewis Holtby was secured on a pre-contract agreement to come for free in the summer, so will make little difference to this season. Ex-Manchester United defender Zeki Fryers was signed from Standard Liege, much to the anger of Sir Alex Ferguson.
What needs to be done? Emmanuel Adebayor's U-turn on international retirement has left Andre Villas-Boas with only Jermain Defoe up front and, despite his assertions otherwise, he should be looking for more natural cover than Clint Dempsey or Mousa Dembele.
Spurs look relatively sound in defence and the return of Younes Kaboul and Benoit Assou-Ekotto should only improve things for them in that department.
Business Done: Demba Ba has been brought in from Newcastle United to provide some competition for Fernando Torres, while Daniel Sturridge was finally allowed to leave and joined Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool.
What needs to be done? John Terry's leadership is being missed in defence and a stopper of similar stature would not go amiss, although there are unlikely to be many of those around.
A defensive midfielder would be a shrewd addition as Oriol Romeu is a long-term injury casualty, John Obi Mikel is away at the Africa Cup of Nations and David Luiz is unfamiliar in that position. Rafael Benitez has a formidable squad at his disposal and should not need to do more than he already has in the transfer market.
What do you think these clubs should be doing in the transfer market? Leave a comment below to let us know…

The "Twilight" series finally bit the dusk.
James Bond returned with a vengeance.
The Dark Knight rose one last time.
It was a very good year for the movies. Here are my top 12 for 2012:
1. "Zero Dark Thirty" -- Kathryn Bigelow's stunning behind-the-scenes drama about the decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden, as seen through the jaundiced eyes of a CIA agent (magnificently played by Jessica Chastain) who, here at least, is credited for cracking the case. (Note: The film officially opened in 2012, but around here it won't hit theaters until Jan. 4.)
2. "Les Miserables" -- Director Tom Hooper goes crazy with the camerawork to give his translation of the theatrical pop opera a cinematic scope, and he succeeds wildly. He marvelously realizes Victor Hugo's story of love, obsession, forgiveness and redemption, capped by Anne Hathaway's haunting rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream."
3. "Beasts of the Southern Wild" -- Benh Zeitlin's astonishingly original drama stars nonactors Quvenzhane Wallis as little Hushpuppy and New Orleans bakery owner Dwight Henry as her daddy Wink, two souls trapped in a post-Katrina bayou community while a herd of prehistoric beasties comes their way.
4. "Life of Pi" -- The best 3-D movie of 2012. Ang Lee directs a mythical remembrance about a young man (Suraj Sharma), a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, an impossible tale of survival and a well-told story attesting to the power of well-told stories.
5. "Django Unchained" -- Quentin Tarantino merges racism, politics, sex, revenge, capitalism and a truckload of other stuff in a hilariously violent riff on 1970s black exploitation movies (filtered through Sergio Leone) with former slave Jamie Foxx on the hunt for his wife, sold to another plantation in the 19th-century South.
6. "The Impossible" -- It's the OMG! movie of the year, and the most intense dream-vacation-gone-bad film ever made. A family on holiday in Thailand gets swept away by the 2004 tsunami. Directed by J.A. "The Orphanage" Bayona and based on a true story. (Watch for the real family at the closing credits.)
7. "The Avengers" -- OK, it's no Krzysztof Kieslowski masterpiece. But in the world of superhero movies, Joss Whedon's masterful blend of action, character, special effects, humor and pathos rules the genre. Lesser filmmakers couldn't even create a great film with one superhero, let alone six.
8. "The Master" -- Not a popular mall movie, for sure, but a pure piece of poetry with Joaquin Phoenix conjuring up the most original, inspired performance of the year as a tormented soul who physicalizes his inner demons so well it's tough to watch him without your shoulders screaming for a massage. Amy Adams and Philip Seymour Hoffman aren't chopped liver, either.
9. "Argo" -- Ben Affleck's well-crafted, fact-based valentine to the character, courage and convictions of Canadians. Oh, and let's not forget the CIA for thinking outside of the box office in creating a daring plot to rescue six Americans trapped during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis.
10. "Moonrise Kingdom" -- Wes Anderson's whimsical look at what happens in 1965 when two 12-year-olds declare their love for each and run away together, catapulting a little island community into chaos. Don't see it for the plot. See it for the whimsy. Check out Bruce Willis' restrained small-town sheriff and Edward Norton's too-devoted scout troop leader.
11. "ParaNorman" -- A 3-D animated supernatural/zombie comedy that attests to the power of stories to heal, condemns revenge and mob actions, and promotes the concept of forgiveness. What's not to love?
12. "Lincoln" -- As Shakespeare wrote, the player's the thing. Daniel Day-Lewis' performance as our 16th commander-in-chief hits the sweet spot between our expectations of how he sounded and historical reality. If you look carefully, you'll see subtle references to famous Lincoln photographs stitched into the scenes, photographed by Columbia College grad Janusz Kaminski.
Special note to James Bond fans convinced that "Skyfall" should be on every critic's top 10 list: "Skyfall" almost made it. Daniel Craig's third outing as 007 ranks as No. 14, after "Cabin in the Woods," Joss Whedon's and Drew Goddard's monster mashup of a supernatural/horror comedy.

I will also state here:If you are on Internet Explorer 7, you are in uncharted territory.

Hanukkah ended last Saturday, December 19th, and what a Hanukkah it was! For those of my friends who celebrated Hanukkah, I hope you enjoy the respite between the Eight Nights and New Year's Eve. For those of my friends who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! For my friends who celebrate both holidays, which we have fondly dubbed "Chrismukkah," do check out our Traditions in a Box that honor interfaith families. We even have Red and White Cookie Tin
It seemed that this holiday shopping season started earlier than the year before, and only picked up steam as we got closer to Hanukkah. And once we were into the actual holiday…forget about it! The phone was ringing off the hook! I was glad to see that Challah Connection was up to the challenge of providing terrific gifts to our legions of fans. I'd sooner go out of business than ship a package that I myself wouldn't be thrilled to receive, and I'm proud to say that despite the excitement of high demand we never sacrificed on the best ingredients.
I was struck by the incredible fact that, despite our country's recession, people still enjoy observing traditions. Maybe these are what helps us through the hard times. Whether it is a funny T-shirt or a gourmet, deluxe-sized gift basket, our customers came out in full force to bestow tokens of love and good wishes on friends and family. (Thanks to the many of you who emailed–we'll include these in a future posting.)
As wonderful as Hanukkah was for me personally, celebrations can't go on forever. It's now time to clean the wax off our menorahs (anyone have any good tips? please send them in) wrap up the dreidels, and polish off the remaining gelt. Time to enjoy the people we love.

What does Vatican II mean to you?
Fifty years after the groundbreaking council began, does Vatican II still matter in the faith lives of Catholics?
October 11, 1962 was a historic day in the Catholic Church, as it marked the official opening of the Second Vatican Council. Beginning under Pope John XIII and closing three years later under his successor, Pope Paul VI, the council provided an opportunity to discuss key topics facing the modern church and to issue several landmark documents that impacted the faith lives of Catholics worldwide.
For many, Vatican II marked a new era in the Catholic Church, but much has changed in the 50 years since the council began. Please complete our reader survey and let us know your thoughts on Vatican II and the role it plays in your faith today.
Results of the survey will be published in the October 2012 issue of U.S. Catholic.

This new documentary tells the story of a unique art world phenomenon that took root in the mid-20th century in the Jim Crow South. They were an unlikely group of black landscape painters that emerged from the American South in the 1950s and 60s. Segregation locked them out of selling their works in white owned art galleries. So, the artists took to the road to sell their paintings.

Don Juan had a point there...
Interesting article on the power of lectins. Datura is familiar to readers of Carlos Castaneda's 'novels' as one of Don Juan's "helper plants." Our friend Ryan Darius Partovi sent this to me, and suggested the word "lectin" be substituted for the word "protein" throughout. Fascinating reading.... thanks, Ryan!

Smelly Plant Could Offer Brain Cancer Treatment
Tue Oct 1, 1:51 PM ET
LONDON (Reuters Health) - A protein from a highly poisonous, foul-smelling plant known as jimson weed could one day be used to help fight a type of brain cancer called glioma, Japanese researchers reported on Tuesday.
The protein, Datura stramonium agglutinin, or DSA, caused glioma cells with cancerous characteristics to begin developing normally, or differentiating, in lab studies, they report in the British Journal of Cancer for October.
The differentiation DSA induced was irreversible, being sustained once the protein was removed, the researchers report.
"DSA controls glioma cells as a result of glial differentiation rather than actually killing cells," said lead researcher Dr. Tasuku Sasaki, from the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology. "Any drug based on this concept would help patients suffering with tumors that are difficult to remove such as gliomas."
Glioma cells were also inhibited from growing and dividing out of control, or proliferating, by the presence of DSA, Sasaki's team reports.
"Taken together, these observations suggest that Datura stramonium agglutinin may be useful as a new therapy for treating glioma without side effects," they write.
Professor John Double, head of the Cancer Research UK Unit at Bradford University, said the discovery was exciting, but extremely preliminary.
"More needs to be done before we have enough evidence to commit to trials. Potential treatment, based on DSA, for this form of brain cancer is still a long way off."
Cancer Research UK's chief executive, Sir Paul Nurse, agreed, noting "there is much work to be done on the journey from the laboratory bench to the patient's bedside."
