Retired Justices as Subs for Recusals
David Ingram of the National Law Journal is reporting that Patrick Leahy may push for retired justices to sit for cases in which other justices recuse themselves.
According to the article, Justice Stevens made this recommendation to Leahy (D-VT), the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
This seems to me a politically loaded suggestion. There has already been much talk about Kagan's potentially high recusal rate over the next few terms as the Court continues to hear cases that her office had briefed in the lower courts. On divisive issues, Kagan's absence would lead to 5-3 victories for conservatives or ideological deadlocks at 4-4.
I cannot imagine that the GOP members of the Judiciary Committee will agree to this plan. If Kagan does not recuse herself on a case in which a conservative may be obligated to do so, two of the substitutes–Souter and Stevens–would be a fifth vote on the left. It is not inconceivable that these two retired ringers could cut away at the Roberts Court's business-friendly precedents, as the Court sometimes goes shorthanded on cases concerning corporations in which justices may own stock.
O'Connor, too, exited the Court to the left of Anthony Kennedy on campaign finance, church-and-state, abortion, and affirmative action cases – all issues that have been cut back since Alito succeeded her. However, recusals on these cases are less likely. That is, unless some advocacy group somehow finds a not-too-distant relative of Justice Scalia who is an abortion doctor in Nebraska that is willing to be a named plaintiff in a federal case.

They could just designate someone from the U.S. Court of Appeals instead. It's a much bigger pool so there would be far less predictability in who gets drafted to hear the case. That's sorta what happened in United States v. Alcoa when they couldn't assemble of quorum of the bench to hear the case–they just referred it to the Second Circuit.
[…] Stevens, upon announcing his retirement, suggested the idea to Leahy. I wrote then about the possible political motivations and jurisprudential consequences: This seems to me a politically loaded suggestion. There has already been much talk […]

Ivan Aivazovsky Reaches a New Auction Record
On April 24, the sale of renown seascape painter Ivan Aivazovsky's (1817–1900) painting "View of Constantinople and the Bosphorus", at Sotheby's "The Orientalist Sale" auction, was sold for 3.23 million British pounds. This is the record for a work by Aivazovsky to be sold at auction.
The picturesque seascape, which portrays the skyline of Constantinople captured at sunset, was painted in 1856, during the time of Aivazovsky's creative uplift, when the exotic Eastern city inspired the artist more than once. The newly-discovered culture and environment of Constantinople aroused in the artist of Armenian decent memories of his childhood spent on the shores of the Black Sea.
"View of Constantinople and the Bosphorus". 1856. Oil on canvas. 124.5 x 195.5 cm © Sotheby's
"View of Constantinople and the Bosphorus" previously made an appearance at Sotheby's in 1995, when it was bought by the owner who just sold it. Buyer interest for the April 24 auction turned out to be much greater than expected. Although the price climb, which started at 850,000 British pounds, was unhurried, the closing price of 2.85 million, together with the auction house's commission, resulted in a selling price of 3.23 million British pounds.

TV on the radio
Not the most original title for a blog post but hey. As Yasser posted on the Radio Labs blog, this morning we launched a new visual radio player running alongside the Chris Moyles show this week and Annie and Nick on Sunday. This is the first stage trial in a new project and we are keen to find out what the audience thinks of it.
The pop-up player presents a webcam feed of the studio so you can see Chris and the team as well as hear them alongside which we display images, now playing track information and incoming SMS messages. In addition to this you will also see barcharts and swingometers representing a public vote or poll.
I joined the project to develop the front-end which is an AS3 flash application built in Flex Builder 3. The components are made up of individual SWFs loaded as necessary and the client is driven through messages sent over the same infrastructure which powers the live text widgets on network pages and the Radio 1 tag cloud.
Early comments on the Radio Labs post and elsewhere have been really encouraging.

The Wyoming Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in the appeal of a Sheridan teenager convicted of murder in a 2009 home invasion killing.
The court on Wednesday will hear the appeal of Dharminder Vir Sen. He is serving a life sentence in the killing of Sheridan businessman Robert Ernst.
Prosecutors say Sen was the triggerman in a home invasion robbery. They say Sen and the other two teenagers entered Ernst's home with a stolen pistol in the middle of the night.
The court already has upheld the life sentences for the other two defendants: Dennis Poitra, Jr., and Wyatt Bear Cloud.

Phenomenal dancing and singing makes 'Dolly' a New Year's treat
|Light Opera Works presents
|Hello, Dolly!
|Book by Michael Stewart
Music/Lyrics by Jerry Herman
Directed by Rudy Hogenmiller
at Cahn Auditorium, 600 Emerson, Evanston (map)
through Jan 1 | tickets: $32-$92 | more info
Reviewed by Katy Walsh
"Some people paint, I meddle." A widow makes a living as a matchmaker. Light Opera Works presents Jerry Herman's Hello, Dolly!, a big-hearted musical based on Thornton Wilder's play The Matchmaker, set in 1890.
Before the parade passes by, I want to get in step while there's still time left." Dolly Levi wants to start living.
Dolly's retirement plan is to marry the well-known half-millionaire, Horace Vandergelder. Because Dolly is very good at her job, Horace IS ready to marry… Irene Malloy. Before Horace can pop the question to Irene, Dolly must strike the match. It's a hilarious intervention as Dolly rearranges multiple lives to marry off herself. Hello, Dolly! is a witty, musical frolic wedded to the courtship dance.
You're looking swell Dolly. I can tell Dolly. You're still glowin', you're still crowin', you're still goin' strong.
Mary Robin Roth (Dolly) has flawless comedic timing. Roth delivers zesty lines with a side of slapstick, and has all the personality to anchor the show in the title role. The musical orchestration has been adjusted for Roth's limited singing range; her lower vocal style is robust but in moments awkward. In solo numbers, it's a unique rendition, but when she joins in on a brightly sung 'Put on Your Sunday Clothes,' Roth creates a bit of speed bump.
The best match of the show is the chemistry between Robert Brady (Cornelius) and Patrick Tierney (Barnaby). The dynamic duo sing, dance and lampoon with charm and amusing absurdity. Although Jessye Wright (Irene) has a beautifully operatic singing voice, it's too serious for the light-hearted romp. It really only works as the parody line Wright sings in 'Elegance' to make fun of the sophisticated.
A 22-piece orchestra, conducted by Roger L. Bingaman, sets the tempo for a splendid full-bodied musical chorus.
'Don't you think my dancing has a polish and a flare? The word I think I'd use is athletic!'
The dancing IS athletic and amazing! Rudy Hogenmiller channels Gower Champion to choreograph dance sequences that elicit applause DURING the movement. In particular, two memorable moments are actualized by a large segment of the chorus. First, in the parade scene, the band moves into a revolving kick line. For a small stage and multiple dancers, the graceful high-kick turning is incredibly impressive. In the second act, the waiters have a vigorous prolonged dance sequence. The word I think I'd use is 'phenomenal.' The synchronization is perfection. The waiters' jumps are a harmonious spectacle.
Despite promises that 'Dolly'll never go away again,' it'll be "Goodbye, Dolly!" in a week. So, here's your goal again, get in drive again, if you wanna feel your heart coming alive again… get your tickets now… before the parade, and the full orchestra, passes by!
|Rating: ★★★½
Hello, Dolly! continues performances on December 27th, 29th, January 2nd at 2pm;
December 28th at 7pm; December 30th, 31st, January 1st at 8pm. All photos by Rich Foreman.

How To: Felt Spring Leaves Brooch
As promised, I've got a leafy tutorial to share with you guys today: how to make a brooch decorated with a trio of felt leaves.
These brooches are a slightly updated version of a design I used to sell in my shop years ago. They're quite quick and easy to make but I think they look rather stylish!
I've sewn my brooches in spring greens, but you could use orange/red/yellow on a brown background to make an autumnal version. Here's a crafty flashback to some I made many moons ago:
To make one green leaf brooch you will need:
The templates provided at the bottom of this post
Dark green felt
Three lighter shades of green felt (one for each leaf shape)
Dark green sewing thread
Brooch clasp
Pins and a sewing needle
Sewing scissors (embroidery scissors are perfect for cutting out small shapes)
1. Use the templates provided to cut out the following felt pieces: two dark green circles and three leaves, each in a different shade of green.
2. Hold or pin the three leaves onto one of the felt circles, and sew them in position with backstitch and dark green thread. I stitched the central (straight or slightly curving) lines first to secure each leaf then added the outer stitching.
Be careful when positioning the leaves that the inside edge (as marked on the template) of each leaf is on the inside as the leaves are not symmetrical.
3. Decorate the leaves with more backstitching. I stitched four or five lines on each side of the leaves, varying their position slightly to create an organic look. This is a time when slightly wonky stitching looks great!
Your leaves should now look something like this:
4. Add a brooch clasp to the second (undecorated) circle. Use a double thickness of dark green sewing thread to sew the clasp securely in place, slightly above the centre of the circle.
5. Place the two circles together (wrong sides together), so the leaves are positioned how you want them. Use more dark green thread and sew around the edge of the circle with running stitch, flush with the outside edge of the leaves. Finish your stitching neatly at the back.
Your finished brooch will look something like this:
Click here to view the template sheet in another tab or window. Make sure you're viewing the image at full size, then print it at 100%.
This tutorial is for non commercial use only: you can use it to make as many leafy brooches as you want for yourself or as gifts, but please don't make any for sale. You may borrow a few photos if you want to blog about this project, but remember to credit me and link back to the original source, and do not reproduce my entire tutorial on your site. Thanks!

The New York Times has an awesome retrospective graphic that shows how al fresco seating has evolved all the way from 1889 to the present. Can you tell we're excited for spring?
Check out the full graphic over at the Times. Because maybe you didn't know the classic director's chair first appeared all the way back in 1892. Or that the precursor to every modern folding chair is the 1938 Butterfly chair. But next time you're perched on a patio, maybe you'll think a little more about what your butt's resting on.

Be sure to visit the museum dedicated to Francisco Coloane, the famous Chilean author and adventurer born on this southern land. Not far from there, the small island called Isla Aucar, accessible via a wooden footbridge, will be a chance to observe a wide variety of birds and discover a magnificent botanical garden, home to many of the region's endemic plants.

27 October 2020 – Pie XI GlacierArrival 27/10/2020. Departure 27/10/2020.
The Brüggen Glacier, a coastal glacier in southern Chile also known as Pio XI, is astonishing for its almost surreal dimensions. With a surface area exceeding 1,200 km2, it is the largest of the glaciers making up the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. This gigantic ice field is the third largest ice mass in the world. Straddling the southern Andes Mountains, its breathtaking natural setting inspires sheer wonder and awe.
28 October 2020 – El Brujo GlacierArrival 28/10/2020. Departure 28/10/2020.
At the heart of Bernardo O'Higgings National Park, the largest protected area in Chile, discover El Brujo Glacier. Located at the end of the Asia Fjord, this huge wall of ice sculpted by the wind is fascinating and impressive. This magical, natural and grandiose décor that changes as the light plays upon it will be an unforgettable sight.
29 October 2020 – Sailing in the Strait of MagellanArrival 29/10/2020. Departure 29/10/2020.
This mythical strait situated in the south of Chile and separating South America from Tierra del Fuego, awakens our imagination, stirring up a longing for adventure. For the first time, follow in the footsteps of the famous Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, known for having organised the first circumnavigation of the globe in the 16th century. Aboard your ship, cruise along the 600 km separating the Atlantic Ocean from the Pacific and, before arriving in Ushuaia, discover the sea route which was long nicknamed "Strait of All Saints" because Magellan's ships first entered it on All Saints' Day. A fascinating adventure.
30 October 2020 – Agostini GlacierArrival 30/10/2020. Departure 30/10/2020.
In the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, the Agostini Glacier sits at the back of the eponymous fjord, framed by the Cordillera Darwin. Named after the Italian missionary and explorer Alberto Maria De Agostini, this imposing blue-tinged glacier offers a stunning view over the fjord.
31 October 2020 – Garibaldi GlacierArrival 31/10/2020. Departure 31/10/2020.
Cruise along the narrow arm of Garibaldi Fjord and marvel at its stunning landscapes: thick green vegetation adorns steep mountains, rivalling the beauty of surrounding ice and snow. Further on, Garibaldi Glacier unveils itself: a towering ice titan looming at the end of the fjord that shares its name. Don't be surprised if sea lions and numerous birds accompany you on your enchanting journey into the heart of one of Chile's most beautiful glaciers.
1 November 2020 – Sailing around Cape HornArrival 01/11/2020. Departure 01/11/2020.
It's at the meeting point between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that you enter Chilean Patagonia where you head for the Tierra del Fuego archipelago and its famous Cape Horn. From the top of its impressive 425-metre high cliff, South America's southernmost tip has, for many centuries, seen merchant ships from the world over passing by. Because of its legendary storms and rough seas, getting round this cape has gone down in history as a challenge for all seafarers.
2 November 2020 – Puerto WilliamsArrival 02/11/2020. Departure 02/11/2020.
Located on Navarino Island a few kilometres from the Argentinian border, the city of Puerto Williams is, according to Chileans, the southernmost city in the world. It is first and foremost, a charming fishing port whose calm and isolation will delight you. You can stroll around a few little streets and admire the dark silhouette of the Patagonian Andes, surmounted by eternally white peaks. The Martin Gusinde museum of anthropology gives an aperçu of the living conditions of the ancient indigenous people, the Yámanas, while the surrounding areas propose hiking paths across wild, unspoiled nature.
2 November 2020 – UshuaiaArrival 02/11/2020. Departure 02/11/2020 evening.
Capital of Argentina's Tierra del Fuego province, Ushuaia is considered the gateway to the White Continent and the South Pole. Nicknamed "El fin del mundo" by the Argentinian people, this city at the end of the world nestles in the shelter of mountains surrounded by fertile plains that the wildlife seem to have chosen as the ultimate sanctuary. With its exceptional site, where the Andes plunge straight into the sea, Ushuaia is one of the most fascinating places on earth, its very name evocative of journeys to the unlikely and the inaccessible…

PONANT, polar specialists
With almost 20 years of experience in the extreme regions, PONANT, the world's number 1 polar cruise company, is a real polar specialist. PONANT will take you to the most remote regions in total safety: our Captains and crew are professionals, specially trained to sail in icy waters. Our latest-generation fleet has the most modern technology to guarantee both your safety and respect for the regions visited. The size of our ships means we can get as close as possible to areas that are difficult to reach, offering a privileged access to preserved sites. Our flexibility enables us to adapt to the surprises inherent to these expedition itineraries.
Professional expedition teams, varied activities
After scouting missions in the field, our Expedition Leaders and their teams of naturalist guides design exceptional itineraries in the polar regions. During the cruise, they organise daily outings and shore visits in Zodiac® dinghies and hikes on land so as to get as close as possible to nature and wild fauna. In the Arctic and in Alaska, the close relationships that our teams have been able to build with the local communities will enable you to understand the life of these peoples of the Far North, and to share it for a few hours. On board, the naturalist guides will share their knowledge during various conferences on fauna, the history of the great explorations, geology and climatology…

Important information
Expedition programmes include activities such as Zodiac® outings and landings (sometimes with "wet landing"), moderate walks to more active hikes, all accompanied by your expedition team of naturalist guides.
Ports of call, visited sites, outings and landings will depend on weather conditions, position of ice, winds and the state of the sea. These can force a change of plans at any time. The Captain and the Expedition Leader may at any time cancel or stop any activity, or even modify the itinerary. The final itinerary will be confirmed by the Captain, who will take into account the touristic quality of the sites and above all, the safety of the passengers. His decision will be based on advice from experts and authorities.
Travelling to polar/isolated regions is an exhilarating experience in remote areas: please remember that you are far from modern hospitals with full medical facilities, thus evacuation is extremely expensive. Without adequate medical coverage, all expenses will have to be immediately paid with your personal funds. We urge you to subscribe to full coverage insurance, choose your insurance company very carefully, be extremely vigilant and ensure your insurance is fully comprehensive, especially if you are insured by your credit card. PONANT offers an insurance contract with extensive guarantees, please contact us for more information.

Kludget Engine version 1.0 has arrived
After a little more than a year of kludging, the engine has reached the stable version release – 1.0.
It is now running on top of Qt 4.7 framework. With several internals of the engine updated, it is a lot more stable now. And the performance has greatly improved.
I'm contemplating of changing the direction of the Kludget Engine to be more of a comprehensive desktop and shell enhancement instead of just a Widget/Gadget engine. Or maybe just fork a new project out of it. But for now, enjoy v1.0.0

Some of you may have heard my story of how I won an iPad last summer while attending the Read Write Web Real-Time Web Summit. But many of you have not. It came up at dinner last night, and I thought it was finally deserving of a blog post of its own.
Man, that was quite a week. First, I won tickets to the one-day conference, hosted in New York City. (The conference was outstanding; you can read a recap on my professional blog.) While there, they announced they would be giving away six iPads over the course of the day. At lunch, they gave away four by random drawing. The last two, they said, would be given out at the closing session to whomever created the best rap or poem. Yes, rap or poem.
So, for the rest of the afternoon, I scribbled verses on a scrap of paper, muttering rhymes and rhythms under my breath. By the time the closing session began, I was as ready as I would ever be. Luckily, I was sitting next to my higher ed partner in crime, J.D. Ross, whom I was happy to have around for reassurance.
Soon, my time arrived:
And I WON! Can you believe it? (The other winner, though, probably deserved them both, as I think he is an Actual Rapper.)
Since the audio wasn't so good on the video, here is a transcription of the lyrics:
I came down from Boston to learn about real-time
Didn't know that I'd have to bust a rhyme
But even if I don't win a 3G iPad
I know I won't be going home feeling mad
I learned about trust and content curation
Speed-geeked with geeks from 'round the nation
Reputation management
I know what McManus meant
When he said the Real-Time Summit
was a great event
Had a lot of fun thanks to Read Write Web
They said it wouldn't be great and they really didn't fib
I like meeting experts in the world of social media
It's more fun than editing Wikipedia
Now I gotta go catch the 7 o'clock train
Real-time web, you know we make it rain!
I'll catch up with you all a little bit later
I'm @radiofreegeorgy on Twitter.

The liberal studies program offers student-designed, interdisciplinary majors that provide an alternative to traditional baccalaureate degrees in specific academic areas. The liberal studies majors are intended to broaden the student's intellectual understanding and professional skills through a well-rounded, yet flexible degree program that combines courses in the areas of science, humanities, behavioral science, and the arts. The result is a curriculum that is suited to the individual student's personal academic and career goals.
After completing at least 30 semester hours, and after achieving a minimum GPA of 2.00, the student may request an interview with the director of the appropriate program for the purpose of planning a curriculum in one of the available tracks. Students may enter the liberal studies program from other majors of the University, or as transfers from other colleges, by the same process and by meeting the same requirements. It is University policy that no student, whether currently enrolled at West Chester or attempting to be admitted from another university, is permitted to enroll in the liberal studies arts and sciences, and science and mathematics programs after earning 80 semester hours.

The bachelor of science in liberal studies - professional studies provides students the capability to design a career-centered curriculum that may not be available at the University. The course of study includes the student's selection of two academic minors, one of which must be a program offered by one of the four professional colleges (Business and Public Affairs, Education, Health Sciences, or Visual and Performing Arts).
A minor in youth empowerment and urban studies also is available. See the curriculum listed under Interdisciplinary Studies on page 115.

The 2011 winners of CUNA's Community Credit Union of the Year Award have relied on dedication to credit union values and community involvement for their success. CUNA presented the awards during its 2011 Community Credit Union & Growth Conference in San Francisco.
Sticking to the credit union mantra of helping people at all times allowed $150 million asset Streator (Ill.) Onized Credit Union to reach its current level of community involvement, says Marketing Director Dana Stillwell. The credit union won a first-place award in the category of credit unions under $250 million in assets.
For $952 million asset Knoxville TVA Employees Credit Union, it's been about forming relationships with the community and its members, according to Jayne Walshaw, marketing director.
Knoxville TVA Employees received its first-place award in the category of credit unions with more than $250 million in assets. Stillwell and Walshaw offer more insights in this interview with Credit Union Magazine.
CU Mag: What's key to a community credit union's success?
Stillwell: It's really the philosophy of people helping people. But it's also important that employees work together as a team between all departments, and that staff truly are part of the community.
Walshaw: Staff, on all levels, have to be willing and excited to serve the community.
CU Mag: How have you helped members get through the down economy?
Get Involved and Show You Care
The credit union received an honorable mention for its work in the community in the under-$250 million category at the 2011 Community Credit Union & Growth Conference. In the over-$250 million asset category, BayPort Credit Union, Newport News, Va., earned the honorable mention.
But staff at both credit unions understand getting involved in the community helps the credit union, too. Gonzalez points out that supporting local organizations can be "one of the best marketing tools to promote your services."
It's also a way to help tailor the products and services you offer to the needs of your members, says Monte Crowl, BayPort's vice president of marketing.
"We want to make sure we're providing financial services and products that meet the needs of the people who are in the community," says Crowl. "So a lot of what we do in the community is not only support community events, but in a way it's also market research, because we really find out what's going on out on the street."
And in today's struggling economy, credit unions must jump in to help out community members—sans politics."Work with community leaders on issues that can really make a difference," advises Gonzalez. "Don't make decisions about who to support based on politics or who they know. Instead, donate and participate where it's really going to make the biggest impact.
Stillwell: We offer No Hassle loans to help members rebuild their credit, and payroll deductions for loans to help them stay on track. We also offer other payment plans for members having trouble paying—for instance, we accept Visa and MasterCard for payments.
Walshaw: We really try to look for solutions to members' financial problems. We don't want the car, or the house, or whatever they're late in paying for. Instead, we look for a way we can help them, maybe by restructuring their loans or offering them other options like our salary advance loan, the skip-a-payment, or the BALANCE financial fitness program.
Other times we work with businesses in our area, with which we have relationships. If a business is going through an unsure time or laying off people, we'll ask management if we can come in and be available during the employees' breaks, or at least direct them to the branch.
CU Mag: Why is it important for a credit union to be involved in the community?
Stillwell: The community will stand behind you when you're standing behind them. Our board, management team, and staff are extensively involved in the communities we serve.
From being involved in church and civic organizations to sports sponsorships, the community knows who to come to when it needs help selling tickets, sponsoring an event, or even advertising for an upcoming event—us.
Walshaw: It's the essence of the credit union philosophy: people helping people—and that's the most powerful thing that credit unions do. Our branches are located in communities, and they're really close to those communities and their members.
Our credit union has even been known to cook food for members who couldn't on their own. And helping people always comes back tenfold.
CU Mag: What advice would you offer newly chartered or other community credit unions?
Stillwell: Never forget the definition of a credit union: a cooperative financial institution owned and controlled by its members, operated for the purpose of thrift, and providing credit at competitive rates and other financial services to its members. And don't be afraid to think outside the box or be different—it's good to differentiate yourselves from the competition.
Walshaw: If you have a large staff, sit down as a team to ask them what they feel most passionate about in the community. Let them decide what their major focus will be instead of trying to be everything to everybody.
If that's where their heart is, then that's where their passion is. When you light that passion, everything else just falls into place.

The novelist WH Auden said that civilizations should be measured by the degree of diversity attained, and the degree of unity retained. The same criteria could be applied to Latoya Buthelezi, better known to her fans as Toya Delazy.
She's been described as a breath of fresh air in the South African music industry and prides herself on uniting her diverse fanbase through her lyrics.
She speaks of love, happiness, peace and unity. One does not expect a 22-year-old to know much about these things, but speaking to her, one is left feeling that everything is going to be alright, and that you can believe in her message. There is nothing fake about it.
"I enjoy sharing what I have with people. I enjoy giving out positive energy and getting it back."
Toya is the great-granddaughter of the legendary musical royal, Princess Magogo – the Zulu classical music composer, singer, teacher, and political activist. She's also the granddaughter of Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi.
"My grandfather is very proud, I must say, about the fact that I proved what I wanted – I didn't just say 'oh, I want to sing' and didn't make it happen."
"The work I put into it and how it's blown up – my family really loves that. They are supportive but also very cautious."
With a European pop sound which incorporates jazz, electro, hip-hop and soul, and hits such as Pump It On, Love is in the Air, Heart and Are You Gonna Stay?, Toya has found wide acceptance, and has become known for her colourful, unique style.
"I am pushing my own movement. There are not a lot of people that have ventured into the pop genre and I have managed to mesh it in with some soul and my jazz training."
"I started playing the piano when I was nine years old at my primary school, so it is a huge part of my music."
She was signed in 2011 to Sony Music Africa and, since the release of her début album, Due Drop, has appeared on almost every local radio station, with her videos appearing on local and international music channels, including Trace Urban and MTV. She's also the brand ambassador for Reebok, and formed part of the TV campaign for the new Hyundai i20, alongside Francois Van Coke.
The pianist, songwriter and composer describes herself as being an individual who believes in individuality.
"All I can do is me. That's how I got here and that's all that's needed. I didn't even know I was being watched next thing I am flying up to Jo'burg, meeting the heads of Sony Africa."
She says that she imagines a world that is beautiful, where people get along and know about true love. These are all messages she brings across in her music, and she is actually believable. Almost annoyingly so.
"I believe in melody and music. Music has been around in the Zulu nation for years. I think we are the most musical. We sing when we cry, when we are happy. We sing all the time. My great grandmother was an amazing musician. I've been lucky enough to be surrounded by strong women.
Toya, who now splits her time between Johannesburg and Cape Town, says losing her mother in a car accident in matric taught her to take care of herself from a young age.
"All the values my mom passed onto me – to love, being able to accept others, happiness, being grateful – instead of complaining, not stealing, all those qualities are dear to me. It motivates a lot of what I speak of."
This month has been a swirl of excitement for her as she's currently opening for American Idol Adam Lambert on his SA tour, and the music video of her first single, Pump It On, was nominated for Most Gifted Video Of The Year and Most Gifted New Comer Video in the 2012 Channel O Music Video Awards.
"Pump It On is a song I wrote when I was going through great distress. I couldn't get into varsity. Well I couldn't pay rather, I was struggling really hard. No one could understand me. You know when you keep trying to convince people and it just doesn't work so I wrote the song as a breakthrough.
"Music makes me feel really happy. It excites me to make other people happy. I want to broaden my horizons, encourage people to step out of their comfort zone and show who they are."

A baby gorilla delivered via emergency C-section at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park has been diagnosed with pneumonia.
"We've been working with the baby all weekend and after having several days of experience treating her, it's pretty obvious that we've been dealing with pneumonia," said Nadine Lamberski, associate director of veterinary services at the safari park.
On Friday, the little girl was treated for a collapsed lung. She is being monitored round-the-clock, receiving constant oxygen and being fed every three hours.

"The baby gorilla is in critical care, but we're optimistic she will have a full recovery," Lamberski said.
The baby, who has not been named yet, was born March 12. When her mother showed no signs of progress during labor, zoo veterinarians performed an emergency C-section, a very rare procedure among gorillas.
According to the zoo, the baby's mother, 18-year-old Imani, is doing well after surgery and has returned to her regular habitat.

Reactions to the so-called Aegean link are mainly cautious, not helped by Iberdrola's vagueness on detail. The company claims the project to be the biggest combined renewables development and island power link worldwide. It says the project will "reactivate local economies" through taxes, a 3% annual wind-power levy on billings and the creation of jobs.
Rokas, Iberdrola's Greek affiliate, has already delivered the environmental impact assessment (EIA) and the power interconnection - which accounts for 40% (EUR720 million) of the total estimated investment - has received broad approval from Greece's regulatory authority for energy.
The project plans 306MW on the island of Lesbos, 150MW on Quios and 250MW on Limnos. The turbine supplier remains open. Overall, the company will lay 400 kilometres of powerlines across the three islands and seabed, the longest connecting all to the mainland along a 267-kilometre line from Lesbos. Building, planned to start in 2014, is expected to be completed by 2017.
Beyond that, detail is scarce. Despite over a year of development, Iberdrola-Rokas could offer no indication of how the project will be financed. "It's hard to be optimistic given Greece's difficulties," said Eduard Sala de Vedruna, a senior analyst at IHS Emerging Energy Research. "Still, the investment is reasonable and just might interest multilateral finance", he added.
Another consultant, requesting anonymity, said that in less trying times, the project would be "unquestionably attractive". He points out that unlinked Mediterranean islands are paying around EUR170/MWh for wholesale electricity due to high dependency on subsidised oil-fired generation.
Wind in Greece costs around half that, with a EUR90/MWh feed-in tariff on the islands (EUR80/MWh on the mainland). He said the islands' wind capacity factors, at 30-35%, are well above European averages. Yet, with Greece's continued existence in the Eurozone now in question and austerity measures rife, the future of the wind feed-in tariff is far from clear for investors.
However, Greece is not attractive only to Iberdrola-Rokas, which operates 257MW there. The country installed 424MW last year, a quarter of its 1.63GW cumulative total. Spanish competitor Acciona has permits on 522MW planned for the Vermio Mountains, pending EIA approval. Chinese turbine manufacturer Sinovel and Greece's Public Power Corporation are discussing building 200MW in the north of the country.

Bees too hot for Blades
Brentford stretched their unbeaten run to eight games with a 2-0 win thanks to a first-half demolition of promotion-chasing Sheffield United.
The Bees went in two-up at the break after a quality finish from Clayton Donaldson and goal of the season contender from Harry Forrester.
Donaldson struck after three minutes, deftly glancing home Toumani Diagouraga's left-wing cross at the near post and Forrester made it two on the half-hour, turning brilliantly on halfway before smashing home a grasscutter from fully 25 yards.
Brentford were in almost total command before the break, but had to withstand wave after wave of pressure from the Blades in the second period and Bees goalkeeper Simon Moore, who had tipped Shaun Miller's point-blank header over before the break, had to be at his best to deny Nick Blackman in a one-on-one on the hour-mark.
Brentford loan signing Marcello Trotta thought he had calmed the host's nerves late on, but his tap-in after a Harlee Dean piledriver was parried clear, was ruled out for offside.
Miller's goalbound effort was cleared off the goalline by Donaldson in the dying minutes as the visitors lost their composure, Harry Maguire escaping with a yellow for a lunge on the striker when it might have been red.

Which Artist Would You Bring Back From The Dead To Write One More Song?
List Rules Vote up the artists you would love to see do one final song.
Many of the world's greatest musicians remain highly respected even in death. The world often mourns the loss of the artist and the songs that the artist never got to write. If you go looking through your iTunes or Spotify libraries, you will likely find dozens of those dead musicians. You'll probably want to bring back more than a few, even if it's just so that they can write one more song.
In the whirlwind world of music, numerous rock stars die before their prime. Their untimely demises pose a difficult question, one that needs an answer.
We asked you, our audience, "Which artist would you bring back from the dead to write one more song?" And your answers have been both surprising and satisfying. Artists who died before ever reaching thirty, from Kurt Cobain to Aaliyah, are among your choices but a few prolific artists who had time on their side, such as Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen, also showed up in your responses. Some people believed that these legends were still capable of genius even in their old age.
While no one determined for certain which dead artist needs to make one more song, each answer still reminds us of how much these musicians continue to impact the world.

As regular readers of my blog will now as part of role as a SQL Server consultant and SQL Server trainer I get to travel a fair bit. Well last week I was off on my travels again on a multi-stop tour of the mid-west USA. Taking in Chicago, Milwaukee, Green Bay and Chassell way up in the Upper Peninsular (UP) in Northern Michigan.
So we landed in Chicago late on Friday and took in some of the sights on Saturday. We ventured up Willis Tower (formerly Sears tower) to the Sky Deck. This is the tallest building in the USA and until the late 1990s it was the tallest building in the world. It is currently the 7th tallest building in the world.
From the Sky deck you get some great views of the city the dark tall building in the centre of the photo is 'Big John' or the John Hancock Centre.
The Willis tower also has glass ledge that you can walk out onto and get some great views of the city (And get your picture taken). As you are walking on a glass ledge you can see the 103 storey straight down to the street. This was no issue for me but Mrs Ellis, who is not a fan of heights, declined the chance to stand on the ledge
In the afternoon we visited Art Institute of Chicago. There are some great works of art in this building and Mrs Ellis and myself had a great time wondering around here.
After we left the art gallery it was starting to get dark and as it was the Saturday before Thanksgiving it was the evening of the traditional Christmas parade on the Magnificent Mile. (Michigan Avenue). This is the event where they turn on the Christmas lights in Chicago's main shopping district. Lisa and I walked up Michigan Avenue, the street was closed to traffic and there were 1000s of people lining the streets waiting for the parade to start. We decided that it was a bit cold and a bit busy for us to hang around on the street so we decided to head up the John Hancock Centre to see the city lights. We have been up to the observatory before but that was a few years back and since then they have added a cafe bar to this level. We had a few drinks enjoyed the view and headed on back to the hotel.
Monday we picked up our car and headed North our destination Chassell Michigan. Chassell is sat on Lake Superior, at the very north of Michigan. My good friend Rhys and his family live up there and we were paying them a visit and spending Thanksgiving with them. Rhys and I grew up together in South Wales and since he moved to the USA nearly ten years ago I have visited him and his family several times over the years. Chassell is small town just outside Houghton and Hancock. There was no snow on the ground when we got there so after we had taken his eldest to school on Tuesday morning we grabbed some breakfast and headed back to his farm. We took the pooch whose name is Hunter out for a walk as he showed me around his 80 acre estate. We had a great time at Thanksgiving watching some American Football and we also hit the sales too
The night of Thanksgiving we had a about 6 inches of Snow. This was the first real snow of the winter and since we returned home they have had a lot more snow.
The snow wasn't a problem though as we'd hired a Chevy Tahoe in Chicago and this was more than equipped for the conditions we were facing.
On Saturday we headed back down south spending the night in Green Bay before completing the trip back to O'Hare airport so we could fly home. On Sunday on our way to the airport we stopped just outside Milwaukee so we get some cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. If you love cheesecake you will love this place.
We visited some cool places on our little trip, we drove about 1000 miles in total and more importantly we got to see our friends who we don't see enough of but he does live 5000 miles away so its not an easy commute. We had a great time. I love Chicago and no doubt I'll be back some time soon. Still back to normal this week with SQL Server Consulting assignments to take care of back at home.

Drs. Marc Hirschmann and Donna Whitney
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
Donna Whitney and Marc Hirschmann are professors in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis, MN. Donna is a field-oriented metamorphic petrologist, while Marc is an experimental petrologist. When the department offered a tenure-track job to Marc, a second tenure-track offer, for Donna, was not far behind.
First, individual success
To disclose or not to disclose
The challenges and rewards of dual academic careers
Advice for dual career couples
First, individual successBoth Marc and Donna earned their PhDs from the University of Washington. Their job search strategy was simply to apply, separately, for the jobs for which they were qualified. While they didn't know how it would all work out, they felt that they needed to each be successful before they tackled the problem of finding work in the same location. Donna and Marc knew that they were likely to be in geographically different places for a few years, but were willing to make that sacrifice in order to get their individual careers off the ground. Once they were established, they hoped, they would find a way to be together again.
So, over the next few years, Marc and Donna pursued their separate careers, moving a few times, keeping in touch via telephone, and earning a lot of frequent flyer miles. After they had been apart for more than three years, Donna had a tenure-track position at the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill and Marc was a post-doc at Caltech. At this point, Marc moved to North Carolina to be with Donna, while maintaining his appointment at Caltech and spending long blocks of time there, including summers, when Donna could come with him. UNC -Chapel Hill created a part-time adjunct position for Marc. It wasn't an ideal situation, but it allowed Marc and Donna to spend about half of their time together, and still pursue their own careers, publishing papers, writing grant proposals, and applying for jobs.
Both Donna and Marc applied for a tenure-track opening in petrology at the University of Minnesota. Marc was offered the job, and they were both invited to visit the campus. During the visit, they were told that an offer for a second tenure-track position would be forthcoming. The original offer was for two 75% positions with the understanding that at some point in the future the chair would try to make those positions 100%. (Their positions became full-time after their first year at Minnesota.) Complicating their decision-making process, UNC—Chapel Hill, which had previously been unable to create another faculty line for Marc, offered him a full-time tenure-track position. After some stressful assessment of the advantages of each offer, they chose Minnesota.
Complicating their decision was the fact that they were about to have a baby. This added to the excitement of moving to a new place, starting a new job, and not yet having tenure. When Donna and Marc moved to Minneapolis, their daughter was 3 months old. Even so, everything worked out fine, thanks in large part to a family-friendly department, the excellent University Child Care Center, and a system that Marc and Donna worked out for balancing their time at home and the office.
To disclose or not to discloseIn the early years of their job searches, neither Donna nor Marc generally disclosed that their spouse was also on the market for a job in petrology. However, a few years later, the question of whether (or when) to mention their spouse had become irrelevant for Marc and Donna. Because of their individual successes, academic colleagues knew them and knew they were married to each other. In fact, many of their interviewers raised the subject, and not always in the most appropriate ways. As Marc and Donna point out, every candidate wants to be evaluated on his or her own merits, not on the basis of whether their spouse is also looking for a job.
The challenges and rewards of dual academic careersThe biggest challenge Donna and Marc face now, as a dual career couple, is coordinating parenting with travel. Both of them travel fairly often, to attend conferences, to give talks, and (in Donna's case) to do field work. Generally, that means the other person is a "single" parent for a while. Occasionally, they both go to the fall AGU meeting. At those times, they take their daughter with them, and trade off being at the conference and spending time in San Francisco with their daughter.
However, Marc and Donna feel that the challenges of dual academic careers are outweighed by the advantages. For one thing, they say, they never have to explain to each other the demands of an academic lifestyle. In addition, their schedules are relatively flexible, and they generally don't teach at the same times, so that when their daughter doesn't have school (for whatever reason), one of them can be with her. They were even able to arrange to go on sabbatical the same year, thanks in part to being in a large department.
Advice for dual career couplesMarc and Donna suggest that dual career couples concentrate on succeeding as individuals, first. If you're serious about your career, they say, you need to be prepared to make some short-term sacrifices. For example, they feel that the years they spent living in separate states, getting their careers launched, were an investment in their own future. They believe that they were so successful in their own search, ultimately, because both of them were strong candidates.
Nonetheless, Donna and Marc caution against assuming the worst before you begin your job search. Times have changed, even in the last decade; there's an increased awareness of dual career couples these days. It is possible to find two jobs in one location. Marc and Donna get frustrated when talented students consider giving up without really trying. Furthermore, not everybody's career develops at the same rate. At any given time one member of a couple may seem to be succeeding more than the other. Rather than making sacrifices if you are less successful, suggests Marc, allow yourself more time to succeed. Moreover, while Donna and Marc agree that two careers and one child are quite enough for them, they also feel that having two academic careers and a family is entirely manageable. The challenges are all solvable, they affirm -- and the solution is to work hard.

As a physical facility for focused study, a virtual world of information and resources, and an access point for intellectual engagement, the Hugh & Hazel Darling Law Library is the intellectual hub of the UCLA School of Law. With its world-class collection and cutting-edge resources, wide array of services, and beautiful and inviting space, the Law Library is deeply committed to the Law School's research and teaching missions.
Owning more than 600,000 print volumes and over 35,000 electronic titles, the Law Library, despite its relative youth, holds one of most comprehensive and important collections of legal materials in California. The Law Library collection enriches every facet of the Law School, from its innovative and dynamic curriculum to its unparalleled range of programs and centers.
Much of the library's value to the community resides in its beautiful and inviting physical space, which allows for quiet contemplation and study, as well as the generation and transmission of ideas. Students are drawn to the library by the panoramic views overlooking the Santa Monica Mountains, residential areas, and central campus, with vistas getting more dramatic at each level. The Tower Reading Room, with its spectacular 360 degree views of the city, cherry wood baffle ceiling, and magnificent bronze chandelier serves as a refuge for quiet study.
We are particularly proud of our highly skilled and deeply experienced team of professional librarians and staff. Most of the librarians on our reference team also have JDs (many from UCLA) and several teach courses in the Law School; therefore, they are well-qualified to shepherd students through the law school experience. Our Library Research Assistant Program is the most extensive program of its kind in the country. Under the program, the library hires, trains, and supervises all of the law student research assistants for the Law School's tenure-track faculty. Through this program, RAs receive intensive research training and an opportunity to work closely with a leading legal scholar.
In addition, we always welcome suggestions for new services and materials from the Law School community and are dedicated to assisting students in making the most productive use of their time in the Library and the Law School.
