A disgruntled HMV worker hijacked the company's Twitter account and live-tweeted the firing of more than 60 staff.
Using the hash-tag #hmvXFactorFiring, the staff member lashed out at the British music and video retailer during an HR meeting where the staff were told they would be losing their jobs.
"We're tweeting live from HR where we're all being fired! Exciting!!" they wrote on the company's official account, @hmvtweets.
"There are over 60 of us being fired at once! Mass execution, of loyal employees who love the brand.
"Sorry we've been quiet for so long. Under contract, we've been unable to say a word, or -more importantly - tell the truth.
"Just overheard our Marketing Director (he's staying, folks) ask "How do I shut down Twitter?"
"Under usual circumstances, we'd never dare do such a thing as this. However, when the company you dearly love is being ruined ... and those hard working individuals, who wanted to make hmv great again, have mostly been fired, there seemed no other choice.
"Especially since these accounts were set up by an intern (unpaid, technically illegal) two years ago."
The tweets were soon deleted, followed by an explanation on the company's Twitter account.
"Our @hmvtweets picked up a lot of attention today, it's clearly been a tough day for us all at hmv, please stick with us #hmvxfactorfiring.
"There have been job losses today, but not in our stores. We are still open for business, thx for your continued support #savehmv.
"One of our departing colleagues was understandably upset. We're still here thou, thx for supporting hmv thro these challenging times."
The company announced on Thursday that 190 positions at the company would be axed. It comes after the company went into administration last month, putting more than 4,000 jobs and 223 stores across the UK at risk.
Poppy Rose @Poppy_Powers has been credited with writing the tweets. She explained her actions on Twitter.
"I would apologise for the #hmvXFactorFiring tweets but I felt like someone had to speak.
As someone without a family to support/no mortgage, I felt that I was the safest person to do so. Not to mention, I wanted to show the power of Social Media to those who refused to be educated.
"Just to set something straight, I did not 'hijack' the hmv twitter account. I actually assumed sole responsibility of Twitter & Facebook over two years ago, as an intern. When asked (this afternoon), I gladly provided the password to head office. I also set another member of staff up as a manager on Facebook, and removed myself from the admin list. I didn't resist any requests to cooperate."
Rose said she hoped the stunt would show senior staff members the "true power and importance" of social media.
"Now, I should probably go and hide for a while...Thank you so much for your supportive tweets! Much love to the hmv staff & customers."

Cartilage covers the end of bones in joints to provide shock absorption during movement.
Normal cartilage on the end of the femur is compared to worn, damaged femoral cartilage.
A small cut (incision), typically about three inches, is made over the area of the knee that is damaged.
The damaged bone is removed and replaced with an implant (prosthetic) made of plastic and metal.
Most patients have a rapid recovery and have considerably less pain than they did before surgery and go home the day after surgery (unlike the 3 or 4 days required by a total knee replacement).

If you have an interest in race, read some of the books by Thomas Sowell, an economist who happens to be Black, Conservative & very intelligent. The books are a good read. He talks of Dunbar HS, Washington, DC prior to the welfare mentality & how a 1st class institution was driven into mediocrity by the system.
I for one believe there to be no race based lack of mental capacity. I see to many intelligent individuals of all races. Though I do believe initiative to better oneself may be because of ingrained perceptions.

Only defenceman Alexandre Picard, nursing a foot injured by a shot puck a few days ago at practice, missed today's practice. Head coach Jacques Martin worked offence and he worked it pretty hard, given that his team has gone two games and another 6:05 since it scored its last goal.
Martin later said that Carey Price gets his call to play nets Saturday vs. Washington and expressed full confidence in Price's energy levels, saying he pulled his goalie Thursday after five goals in Boston because he wasn't getting the support of his team. Alex Auld, his replacement, didn't get much more.
Injured defencemen Andrei Markov and Jaroslav Spacek did some work on ice Friday with head athletic therapist Graham Rynbend. Markov is seen here from the press gallery overlooking the rink. That his head might seem to be chopped off doesn't indicate an upper-body injury.

From Boone, who has no life except listening to sports radio.
On CKAC, play-by-play man Martin McGuire, who knows his stuff, said one of the worst aspects of last night's game was the embarrassment of the Canadiens owner.
Geoff Molson went to bat for his team big time, McGuire said. In addition to the public letter after Zdeno Chara's unpunished hit on Max Pacioretty, Molson exerted a lot of pressure and expended much political capital at the top levels of the NHL.
So what happens?
The Bruins stick to hockey and pound the snot out of Molson's hockey team.

They remember with amazing clarity a history that most of us can only read about.
Yet many of these very men who fought to assure that we live in freedom have never seen the national shrines that have been built in their honor.
Come next Tuesday, three men from this area are going to see with their own eyes the beauty and grandeur of our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. One will be there for the first time in his life.
C.J. Kidd from Shady Grove, J.T. Swords from Ecru and Alvis Coker from Saltillo will be part of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Honor Flight, the fifth such flight from Biloxi to Washington, D.C.
The honor flight is free to veterans who can arrange for travel to the coast.
Swords and Coker went by bus to Washington several years ago to see the World War II monument, but Kidd has never been.
The three will have to be in Biloxi at 5 in the morning April 23, and depart from the airport at 7. Three hours later they will land at Reagan National Airport and begin a four hour tour which will start at the World War II monument and include the Lincoln Memorial, Korean, Vietnam and Iwo Jima Monuments.
It will conclude at the Arlington National Cemetery where they will observe the changing of the guard before departing and landing back in Mississippi at 7:40 p.m.
"All of this will be paid for by the Miss. Gulf Coast Honor Flight," said Ellen Self, who is Swords daughter.
MS Gulf Coast Honor Flight is a non-profit program honoring the service and sacrifices of America's 'Greatest Generation' – our World War II veterans.
They organize and sponsor one-day, free trips to Washington, D.C. for these heroes to visit and reflect at their WWII Memorial.
The organization is a member of the National Honor Flight Network, a nonprofit, nationwide family of local "hubs" created solely to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices and dedicated to this purpose.
Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those veterans who may be terminally ill.
This honor flight is one of over 100 across the United States of America and is the only flight hub in Mississippi.
MGC Honor Flight is a nonprofit program sponsored in partnership with Kiwanis Division 14 Foundation, 2000 24th Avenue, Gulfport, MS 39501. Contributions to the MGC Honor Flight program will be received and administered by the Kiwanis Foundation, whose 501(c)(3) EIN is 20-2225748.

Family: Alcidae, Auks, Murres, Puffins view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has sooty black plumage that is darker above than below. Bill is bright orange-red and similar in shape overall to that of Parakeet Auklet. Iris is white and note forwardcurling tuft on forecrown and white plumes behind eye. ADULT WINTER Similar in plumage terms overall, but forecrown plumes are much shorter and bill is duller and smaller (breeding season plates are shed). JUVENILE Similar to winter adult, but bill is duller still, forecrown plumes are even shorter, and eye is darker.
Dimensions Length: 9 1/2-10 1/2" (24-27 cm)
Habitat Very locally common, breeding colonially on islands in Bering Sea; nests in crevices on sea cliffs. Otherwise seen only at sea, winter range typically determined by extent of pack ice.
Observation Tips Easy to see only if you visit a breeding colony; those on St. Paul Island in Pribilof Islands provide good opportunities.
Range Alaska
Voice Utters peculiar yapping and hooting calls at breeding colonies.
Similar Species Whiskered Auklet A. pygmaea (L 7.5-8 in) is smaller and darker, with white belly (dark in Crested) and stubbier red bill. In breeding season has similar forecrown plumes to Crested, but additional two white "whiskers" arising from base of bill; in winter, head ornamentation is reduced and bill is duller. An Aleutian Island specialty, hard to see anywhere else.
Discussion Plump-bodied and distinctive alcid with mostly all-dark plumage, but bizarrely ornamented head in breeding season. Adopts upright posture when sitting on rocks; swims well and dives frequently. Sexes are similar.

This was backed up by a one-hour sneaky photo survey by New Zealand Herald snappers this week, which counted 29 people using phones at the wheel heading north through the central motorway junction in Auckland, an 80km/h zone.
Although police were supposedly quite surprised by this result, the Automobile Association called for investigation into higher fines and most of us wondered why it had taken so long.
Doing this on the motorway is incredibly stupid. Every time you drive in the city there are people who think that because they're moving they're invisible to the naked eye and casually chat away with the phone to their ear. Then there are the fools who think that putting the phone on speaker and then holding it front of their faces is acceptable.
The stealth texters are probably the most dangerous - they're the ones with eyes flicking up to the road and back down at their phone every couple of seconds to compose a text or add a Facebook status update. These people's social lives are significantly more important than everyone else's actual lives - at least it seems that way.
Modern cars do have a lot of clever tricks to help keep your eyes on the road - Bluetooth hands-free kits, head-up displays, steering wheel-mounted stereo controls, sat-nav systems that dictate directions in the dulcet tones of your own choice - but there are still distractions. Most of these distractions are of our own doing. How many times have you seen someone battling a thermonuclear service station pie while driving, or applying make- up, or even reading the paper?
The cellphone ban has led to more than 12,500 tickets written in the past year, and it's steadily risen every year since the ban started. It's $80 and 20 demerits for an offence.
This doesn't seem to be working - what needs to be done? Tell us your thoughts

The open auditions for the forthcoming second season of The X Factor have been completed. Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Antonio L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell completed their final round of judging for the open auditions in Greensboro, NC yesterday, bringing to a close many weeks of contestant performances. Now that the auditions phase has been completed, The X Factor has a new promo commercial ready for release. As you may have heard, over the course of the auditions process our dear Britney Spears has garnered a reputation for being a harsh judging critic … which is made clear in the new X Factor promo you can watch in full below.
OMG, are you kidding me with this? LOVING THIS CLIP SO MUCH! I think many people assumed that Britney would be the push-over judge but from what I've been hearing, she's been anything but a push-over. I've heard some silly things said about Britney by way of Twitter in the past few weeks. Some people have been very heavy-handed with their criticism of Britney for being "so harsh" in her judging of contestants … naturally, these are the sorts of things that one simply cannot pay any attention to. This promo video shows a more critical Britney, yes, but clearly her criticism is tempered in a cute and funny way. Again, let me repeat, I LOVE THIS CLIP SO MUCH!
But, lest you think that all Britney does is dole out harsh criticism, here is fanshot video of Britney on her feet and dancing in support of a contestant performing the Vanilla Ice classic jam Ice, Ice Baby:
It looks to me like Britney is having a blast … whether she's judging, or dancing, or whatever … she's got a glow in her eye, a smile on her face and she just looks happy. I cannot tell you how excited I am to watch Britney on The X Factor this Fall. She is definitely the right person to sit in the judges chair where The X Factor is concerned:

Reality Check: Johnson Ad Criticizes Feingold's Voting Record
Feingold Has Differed With Democrats On Number Of Items
MADISON, Wis. - The We the People Wisconsin Fact Finder project continues with a question about Sen. Russ Feingold's record.
Mark from Verona asked, "How many times has Russ Feingold voted against his party's position?"
That's an issue also raised in a recent ad from Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson, and WISC-TV looked into it for a "Reality Check."
In a TV ad that both mimics and mocks his opponent's recent ad, Johnson takes a few swipes at Feingold's record.
"Russ Feingold is a career politician who has not worked anywhere outside of politics," one person in the ad said. "Russ Feingold has never created a job. Russ Feingold has never met a payroll."
A WISC-TV analysis found this claim misleading.
First, Feingold has worked outside of politics. In fact, he was a lawyer working in Madison for four years before he ran for state Senate. He served in that capacity for 10 years before running and winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, which he has held ever since. A career politician? You could say that, but whether that's a good or a bad thing is up to voters to decide.
"Russ Feingold normally and almost always votes on party lines," said another person in the ad. "He's right in the Reid, Pelosi, Obama camp."
WISC-TV found this needs clarification.
During the most recent congressional session, with Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and President Barack Obama leading Democrats in Washington, the Washington Post found Feingold voted with his party 79.8 percent of the time. While that might sound high, it's the seventh lowest percentage of Republicans and Democrats in the Senate, and the third lowest Democrat.
He has differed on a number of items over time, WISC-TV reported. In this session he voted against the financial reform bill in Congress, which was strongly supported by Obama, and he was the only Democrat to do so. This did make it more difficult for Senate Democrats to get passage of the bill in that house.
Feingold did vote with the party on the health care and stimulus bills.
In the past, he's voted against the use of military force in Iraq and was the only U.S. senator to vote against the Patriot Act.

I do not have a ground connection to the Arduino, is it necessary? I am new to electronics, could you tell me why?Yes it is necessary, because the gate voltage for the mosfet is coming from the arduino and it won't be a circuit without a ground return for the gate drive signal back to the arduino. You can't light a lamp by just having one wire from the battery positive to the lamp without also having a wire from the other side of the lamp back to battery ground. The mosfet source terminal is the return path back to whatever is driving the gate terminal.The MOSFET is IRF520, I know it wont be fully activated by the Arduino since it is not a logic level MOSFET but it is enough for my purposes since me motor draws only 70mALastly thanks for the help!

Well, you can blame it all on /.
but I've found myself a new haunt
here at advogato.org. I'll preface my first entry by
saying that I'm not really a programmer in the first
place. I'm currently attending the DeVry Institute of
Technology in Kansas City in pursuit of a B.S. in Computer
I've been using Linux since late 1996, and aspire to give something back to the community at some point in the future, once I've figured out how to manage my time more effectively.
The first major project I hope to tackle is a Palm Pilot utility for Linux which is distro neutral, and will effectively synchronize the information on my palm with a web-portal.

Where I stayed
The fog here is amazing. LA was hazy, but in Pismo it can quickly go from clear skies to fog, which rolls in from the ocean and lowers the temperature immediately. We saw it on the highway as we approached Pismo yesterday and thought there must be a bushfire, but it was only the fog.
We hit the shops today, finding a Walmart and buying prepaid cell phones and a GPS unit for the car
They spent the afternoon in the heated pool and spa and chatted to some fellow travellers. T2 said that she likes Americans. We then headed down to the beach so FOMC could try choowder (ref: The Simpsons) for dinner. We had seen a run down little shopfront last night with a queue of people out the door waiting for chowder, which is served in a bread bowl. FOMC declared it very good - we don't know exactly what chowder is, but swimming in the creamy soup were what we think were clams!
Every one is so polite, even at stop signs. We're darned if we can work out the give way rules - it seems that if you get to the intersection first (each road has a stop sign, there are no "give ways") you get to go first. Then the next arriving car goes, whether they are on your right or left. Or maybe we just look like idiot tourists and they are being nice to us!

My wife is an assistant principal at an adult high school. She says it is amazing how many students come in and register for school, but once they get their id cards (needed for cal-works grants) are not heard from again.
My mother used to teach home ec. to junior high kids. Her school was in one of the poorer parts of town. One of the first eye raising things she learned was how early the young girls learned about how much they could get by having a baby and how it could be a ticket out of their homes and away from the control of their parents.

Alor Island
eastern Indonesia, Indonesia
Dragon effigy
19th century
wood, pigments
31.2 (h) x 110.2 (w) x 7.0 (d) cm
Purchased 2005
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
For individuals and communities on the eastern Indonesian island of Alor, the water serpent or dragon is a protective being that defends against evil and ensures good fortune, fertility and a bountiful harvest. Intricate serpent carvings such as these are placed on wooden poles in front of houses and in special ceremonial buildings in the centre of villages. Bowls are positioned before the carvings for offerings of chicken or rice.
The images are also placed in grain fields to prevent rodent damage to crops. This explains their title pragden, meaning mouse catcher. Since a plague of mice is considered the embodiment of the wrath of the ancestors when correct ritual and customary law has been transgressed, the sculptures play an integral role in appeasing and honouring ancestral beings.

Shares of $5.1 billion U.S. prepaid cellular operator MetroPCS (PCS) are up $2.52, or 22%, at $14.04, having gained steadily through the morning, after Bloomberg's Aaron Kirchfeld, Cornelius Rahn and Matthew Campbell this morning reported that German telecom giant Deutsche Telekom AG (DTEGY) is close to engineering a "transaction" with the U.S. carrier to add to its existing U.S. operation, T-Mobile USA, citing multiple unnamed sources.
The authors don't say that this transaction would be a purchase, per se, nor what the financials might be, but says a deal could be announced as soon as tomorrow and might "involve multiple steps and possibly a share swap."
Shares of fellow prepaid carrier Leap Wireless International (LEAP) are up 79 cents, or 11%, at $7.79, while shares of Sprint-Nextel (S), which has long been rumored as a target of Deutsche, are down 28 cents, or 6%, at $4.89.
Responding to the news, R.W. Baird's William Power this morning reiterates a Neutral rating on PCS shares, writing all kinds of things may now be on the table:
We believe an outright purchase of PCS by T-Mobile USA seems less likely given DT's unwillingness to commit additional capital to the U.S. market. We believe a reverse merger would probably make the most sense, though what PCS shareholders' ownership of that combined entity would look like is unclear. We believe valuation may not constitute a substantial premium to PCS' current share price. What's next? Rumors are likely to fly regarding S and LEAP. LEAP could be in the cross hairs for T-Mobile or Sprint, though we wouldn't rule out a S/PCS combination at this juncture either […] For Sprint, we believe LEAP could be most attractive as a complement to PCS given its AWS spectrum position. If the T-Mobile/PCS deal goes through and LEAP is not involved, we believe LEAP could be of less strategic value to either T-Mobile or Sprint […] M&A had been seen by many as a potential positive catalyst for Sprint, with either T-Mobile or PCS. A T-Mobile/PCS combination could make it more difficult for Sprint to merge with that combined entity longer term due to potential anti-trust complications.
Update: Wells Fargo's Jennifer Fritzsche also sees multiple possibilities and implications of any deal, with some reassuring words for the tower companies such as American Tower (AMT):
While the headline of this is perceived as a negative for the tower companies, we would note that the different technologies used by T-Mobile and PCS would make decommissioning difficult. Separately, CCI, which has the largest domestic portfolio indicated that its total revenue overlap between PCS and T-Mobile is $54MM, including the recently announced acquisition of the T-Mobile towers. [...] While it has often been thought that Leap and PCS would go together given Leap covers the other key U.S. markets that PCS does not, we believe that PCS's balance sheet is much stronger than Leap's and would likely make PCS more attractive to T-Mobile. While we don't think that a T-Mo/PCS merger will forbid a Sprint / T-Mobile deal from happening, we believe that PCS would have been an accretive transaction for Sprint given the common technologies and the recent improvement Sprint has seen in its stock. We believe that PCS was a potential wholesale partner for Clearwire so this news is likely to be viewed as a negative for CLWR. However, we believe that the addition of PCS does not really solve T-Mobile's spectrum needs in all markets and Clearwire could still be a future wholesale partner for a T-Mobile/PCS combination.
Shares of Clearwire (CLWR), by the way, are down 12 cents, or almost 9%, at $1.22.

By Laura Tillman/The Associated Press
GREENWOOD — In 2009, a group of filmmakers descended on Greenwood, looking for potential locations for their adaptation of the bestselling novel "The Help." As they drove through the Mississippi town, they watched the homes and haunts of the book's characters spring up before them.
Thanks to the determination of the filmmakers, the project was eventually filmed in the Delta town. But first, Mississippi had to beat out neighboring Louisiana for the business. That state has one of the country's most aggressive film incentive programs, an approach that's spawned a deep infrastructure of production crews, equipment suppliers, studios and actors.
Studio films cost millions to make and create a tizzy of purchases, from construction supplies to caterers to hotel rooms. It's no wonder states around the country use tax incentives to tempt studios, hoping the influx of cash will ultimately reward their investment. Mississippi has slowly worked to expand its incentives over the past decade. Now, a new bill would allow the state to offer more money to individual productions and give back more cash for salaries. Supporters hope the legislation will ultimately lure bigger-budget films to the state and make it more competitive with Louisiana and other states that offer incentives.
Mississippi offers up to $20 million in cash rebates to motion picture productions per year, a maximum that would remain the same under the new bill. But rebates toward salaries would be raised from $1 million to $5 million, and the total rebate for a production would be raised from $8 million to $10 million.
The rebates are calculated as a percentage of production costs, including the salaries of production staff. The salaries of Mississippi residents are eligible for a 30 percent rebate, while non-residents are eligible for a 25 percent rebate. The new bill would give back an additional 5 percent if the employee is a veteran. A production must spend at least $50,000 in base investment or payroll to qualify.
The efficacy of the incentives is contested. Studies pile up on the desk of Mississippi Film Office Director Ward Emling. Some argue that the rewards of incentives are fickle and fleeting, the money disappearing as soon as a production leaves town. Others, like a 2012 report by accounting firm Ernst & Young, argue that the incentives must be studied over a period of many years, looking at the indirect ways films benefit communities through tourism and job creation.
"I would think that, just like any industry, you have to take the long view," Emling said.
"The Help," the biggest-budget film to shoot in Mississippi since incentive programs came en vogue, was shot in Greenwood thanks largely to the efforts of a few determined natives. Director Tate Taylor and producer Brunson Green are both Mississippians, as is author Kathryn Stockett. Bill Crump, the chair of Greenwood's economic development nonprofit, raised $50,000 to lure the film to town. That money paled in comparison to the savings in Louisiana, but it was a good-faith gesture that gave the city a boost.
Emling and Taylor hope that by raising the salary reimbursement cap from $1 million to $5 million, Mississippi would attract larger films, since Hollywood stars earn bigger paychecks.
"Mississippi has a great chance to do something with this legislation," said Taylor, "so people don't have to struggle the way I did."
The impact of "The Help" is clear in Greenwood. The cast and crew ate daily at local restaurants, including the Delta Bistro, where sales nearly doubled. They stayed in hotels like the Alluvian, and frequented local bars and grocery stores. They bought set supplies at antique shops and home improvement stores. They also employed local people for jobs in catering, sign-making and as extras.
Even those who didn't receive money directly from the hands of the cast and crew benefited from the sudden influx of cash, symbolized by the ubiquity of the $50 bills used to pay per diems.
"There was just money floating around," said Cale Ainsworth, owner of Ainsworth Sign Co. "If it hadn't been for the movie, 2010 was not going to be a banner year." Ainsworth said he made around 100 signs for the movie, including several that continue to hang in the Fondren neighborhood of Jackson, where a few of the film's scenes were shot.
Over the course of the shoot, Crump estimates Greenwood reaped $13 million of the film's $25 million budget. The city still gets many visitors who take tours of the locations and enroll in "The Help" themed cooking classes at the Viking Cooking School.
At the end of the production, the Economic Development Council raised $30,000 from the cast and crew to help the historically black neighborhood of Baptist Town, where the scenes featuring the homes of the maids were filmed. An additional $150,000 was raised for the cause during a premiere in Madison, Miss, which will go toward the construction of a new community center. Baptist Town remains the impoverished neighborhood it appears to be on film. The house that served as the main character Abilene's home is boarded over and covered with graffiti.
Crump said that if states look at the economic impact of a film on a macro-level, they may be hard-pressed to find a bump. It's the local story that's evident.
The filmmakers behind "The Help" aren't alone in their appreciation of Mississippi's potential. Film festivals are mushrooming around the state, and in recent years the incentives have drawn a number of films with smaller but substantial budgets, like James Franco's adaptation of "As I Lay Dying," based on the book by William Faulkner. Director Wes Benton recently committed to shooting three films here in the next two years. Director Daniel Zirilli, who completed the forthcoming "Blunt Force" last year, plans to return to shoot in Mississippi again.
"In New Orleans, people are kind of sick of film production. They tend to jack the prices up because they can. I want to pay a fair price for what I get," Zirilli said.
Zirilli and other filmmakers marveled at the freshness of Mississippi's locations. Directors accustomed to shooting in California and New Orleans are excited to find locations that have never been shot before. This is especially evident in "The Help," where the inimitable landscape and characters' homes take center stage.
Emling said none of this would be possible without the incentives. Even the producers of "The Help," who were incredibly committed to filming in Mississippi, said they would not have shot the movie here without the state's incentive program.
"Not a chance," Taylor said.

Keep in mind that your votes in round 89 pt 1 do not count in this round, so if your question is still on the list you may want to vote for it again.
Again, APRIL 29th is the deadline on this round! That's THIS FRIDAY! We will be sending in questions at the end of Thursday, so be advised, vote now!
Also, feel free to suggest new questions, but please keep in mind that due to the now extra-limited nature of the program, we cannot use every suggestion.
Current questions (vote for up to 2):
- - Force FX has entered a new phase with the removable blade series, and so far we've seen the first couple waves. Thanks to Clone Wars, female characters are back on the rise in Star Wars and bringing in more female collectors - Ahsoka especially has been selling very well. What does the future of Force FX look like? What are the chances of Ahsoka's lightsaber being added to the Force FX line, better opening that market up to female consumers and getting Clone Wars main character recognizability?
- - You have this nice new Qui-Gon Jinn figure that came out in the Jedi Evolution set, and has been re-released in the nifty Eopie mail-away set, yet both times the figure has been marred by including the blobby 1999 lightsaber accessory. Luke Jedi keeps coming out with either repaints of the ROTS Obi-Wan's lightsabers (which has different details), or worse, the blobby Obi-Wan POTJ saber from 2000. Both the '99 Qui-Gon and '00 Obi-Wan as Luke Jedi sabers also have the old smooth blade design without the flare on top of their soft hilt sculpting, and both Qui-Gon and Luke Jedi actually had better saber accessories designed during the Saga line, yet we never get them. And what about one of the most iconic lightsabers in recent SW memory, Darth Maul? There is no modern-quality version at all, the closest is the '02 Saga metal hilt with removable blades, but the blades break easily, so we haven't seen it in a while, and it's a bit long. We don't have a deactivated one to hang on a belt, don't have a 1-blade-activated version, don't have a "cut in half" version, Maul is pretty lacking for his weapon. Why are we getting old junky saber accessories with the modern versions of these guys? Why aren't we seeing better, more accurate lightsaber accessories for some of these fairly major, recognizable Jedi characters? And will these issues be addressed soon?
- - Vader's TIE Advanced X1 has been using the same POTF2 mold for over 13 years now, and the design is showing its age. The cockpit hatch is all wrong, the window is too small, the implementation of action gimmicks hurts the movie-accuracy and just aren't that fun, the cockpit isn't terribly accurate or sized that well to modern Vader figures, and the color is the blue-gray color of ESB and ROTJ rather than the proper gray color of ANH - the only film it was in. This is Vader's signature vehicle, it should at least live up to the quality of the other vehicles in the line, much less represent one of the brand's top characters - especially since the Hasbro SW team's vehicle designs have been so good lately too. What are the chances of seeing something done to address those issues on Vader's TIE Advanced X1 in the foreseeable future?
- - A few years ago, we asked about the chance for updating the role-play Han Solo Blaster and Stormtrooper Blaster accessories, and your response was a not at that time because they weren't supported by then-current entertainment. The existing role-play Stormtrooper and Han blasters are molds from the late '70s, now technically 5 decades old. While they do have some pretty decent design for items from that era, compared to Hasbro's newer role-play blasters, they come up a bit lacking in accuracy and features. We don't expect all-black movie accuracy due to safety concerns, but on those 2, the seams are a bit uncomfortable to hold, the lights and sounds don't deliver all that effectively and don't rapid-fire nicely; and on the Stormtrooper blaster, the stock is still missing in action, and there's never been a clip. With ANH being re-released next year on Blu-Ray, and in theaters in a few years, it seems like there are going to be opportunities to deliver updated versions of those 2 iconic blasters in the role-play lineup, so is there any chance of seeing that happen?
- - We understand the need to anchor the Vintage line with core characters in order to preserve the longevity of the toy line, but what about at least changing up the cardback images to give the longtime collectors something to get excited about? For instance, we know we don't have to twist your arm very hard to get you to rerelease a Darth Vader figure; but would you consider repacking the current TVC figure on a Star Wars card or, even better, on a ROTJ card with a Sebastian Shaw 'Vader Unmasked' reference photo (the figure could be packed in the bubble with his helmet off)? We know you're doing this with the Luke Jedi figure, but that's more a case of expressing the right version of the character to match that figure; this would serve the dual purpose of keeping the core characters in circulation for the casual collectors while giving the hardcore collectors something else to look forward to. Package variations existed back in the original line with different backs, and under different movie lines, and a few even had different pictures, so there is classic justification for it.
- - With themed waves going away, what will be the general method for planning new waves? It used to be a school of thought that said "1 army builder, 1 alien, 1 main character" et cetera, but that was when the choices for that wave were merely from a single movie scene rather than the entirety of Star Wars. What aspects will upcoming wave planning keep from the last 3 years, and what will change?
- - Sgt. Bric's initial cartoon outing turned out to be kind of a bust. The character was an unmemorable jerk and didn't really add anything to his storyline. In fact, if not for the action figure you guys did, he'd be a complete nobody in 2010. And on top of that, the postage on his set when it arrived in Los Angeles was a whopping $5.15, so after the cost of the box and the handling, just getting it out the door probably ate the entire $6.99 right there. Combine that with the fancy packaging and the battle mat, and the fact that he's 100% new tooling with some pricey-looking (for CW) paint, and it seems like Bric's quite an expensive promotional venture for Hasbro to have undertaken... all for a minor jerk of a character. What is it about Bric that made you choose him for a big Clone Wars mail-away promo figure?
- - The new R5-D4 figure does not have the painted red panels on his back. That might sound like a minor issue, but the panels are clearly visible in the film when the droid's motivator blows up, and they help give the little guy a bit more visual pop. Neither the 1996 nor the 2006 versions of R5-D4 had these painted either, so it's disappointing to see that the third time is not the charm (though it remains a detail that the original vintage figure got right). Given the number of running changes we've seen so far in The Vintage Collection, is it at all possible that this oversight might be changed on future shipments?
- - The Force FX lightsabers are targeted at adult collectibles, for a group who generally desire accuracy in their prop collectibles, and yet the latest ROTS Obi-Wan's lightsaber with removable blade suffers a big inaccuracy due to the blade needing to be securely anchored. However, with your removable-blade designs, you've started using dummy parts to fill in the removed blades, and we wonder if you'd consider for future thin-necked lightsabers like Luke ROTJ and Obi-Wan having the removable blade take the entire thick "neck" with it and having a more accurate thin-necked dummy design replace it. That much weight anchoring has been accomplished before in the thick metal coupler for the Maul saber halves that screwed together, on these thin-neck sabers the neck could screw down to the top part of the grip. That would let collectors have their cake and eat it too by giving an accurate hilt prop display with the thin neck, while still having the light-up blade play using the thick neck. So has there been any consideration for that sort of thing, and might it be seen in future Force FX sabers when needed?
- - In several instances now, when asked about the new Slave I getting an ESB release, the response is that it largely depends on how the current Clone Wars version does at retail. If the decision to release it this way is based off sales, why release this as a $100 set with a few re-released figures, and a vehicle repaint that wasn't really hotly requested? If this CW set does sell, does that suggest an ESB release would get a similar Ultimate Battle Pack treatment with the release of some new figures like Bespin Guards and an existing vehicle like the Cloud Car? If that's not likely in store for an ESB Slave I, why predicate that release on this one when it has a different pricepoint, market, and really a different business model altogether? Why release the CW one in this ultimate battle pack format, was this vehicle originally planned for the now-defunct $60 Deluxe Vehicle line and repurposed, was this always the plan for it, or if not, how did this come about this way?
- - Given previous answers from Hasbro that a Cane Adiss figure was not off the table, and then the character showing 10th in the most recent Fans Choice poll, it certainly seems like eventually we'll probably get a Cane Adiss figure at some point down the road. With that in mind, has the Hasbro Star Wars team given any thought to how Cane, the largest character in the Fans Choice poll, could be realized as a product since he undoubtedly wouldn't fit on the current basic card - would it be a battle pack, a mail-away, an exclusive for Toys R Us (a good tie-in to the giraffe-themed retailer)? And has there been any discussion on a "whole creature" design for Adiss similarly to how the team extrapolated a fully-realized design for aliens like Dice Ibegon that were only prop puppet heads? Obviously we're not expecting Lucasfilm approval on any ideas you guys might have yet, but preliminarily, what does the Hasbro team feel a Cane Adiss figure would look like?
Vote now, and suggest new questions too. Thanks for participating.

There have been a couple of non-rhetorical questions that nobody has taken a stab at answering...
1) Twall asked, "What has the government ever taken over from the private sector and done a better job at?"
2) Hookset asked, "Are you ready to be taxed at French rates?"
Buehler? Buehler? Anyone? Buehler?
Some other random thoughts:
- The cost of medical malpractice insurance has risen dramatically and has an adverse effect on the costs and efficiency of our system. I wonder why the Democrats and their trial lawyer constituency never mention these costs when they wring their hands about health insurance accessibility? Now that's a rhetorical question.
- The fear of being sued also effects costs:- I read an article recently that the US leads the world in preventative medicine and diagnostics (eg, mamograms) precisely because our system is for-profit, and it is in the insurance carrier's financial interest that you stay well.Doctors in the state order at least $1.4 billion worth of diagnostic tests and hospital stays each year out of fear of litigation instead of a patients actual need, according to a report from the Massachusetts Medical Society. http://www.protectpatientsnow.org/si...ion_a_year.htm
- It's amusing that Henry has twice poo-poo'ed a CATO Institute article that nobody has even mentioned or linked to (or is likely even aware of), yet pimps as the Holy Grail the highly subjective rankings of a 9 year old UN study as proof of our broken and inefficient healthcare system. I'm surprised we didn't rank lower than 37th given WHO's mission, "In the 21st century, health is a shared responsibility, involving equitable access to essential care and collective defence against transnational threats."
- Yes, Americans travel to Bangkok for their Addadicktome or Whackadickoffame surgeries, but I'm pretty confident what country 99% of the world would like to come to for treatment if their life depended on it.

During hard cold winters I have heard tales of turkeys freezing to death on their roosts with whole flocks then falling dead to the ground beneath the roost tree. [:(]
As much as I go out during the winter I have never come across this legendary turkey kill. Of course that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Has anyone else seen this?
If it happens this could be the winter. 25 below is suppose to be coming this Friday. If anyone finds a mass turkey freeze off please take a picture and post it here. I will remain skeptical until then. [8|]
Or if you have any other legends post em here.

I always had dreamed of living in Florida. I've heard that people get used to the beach and don't go as often as you'd think b/c it's always accessible. I know how that is. I'm 3 hours from the nearest beach here in the D.C. area. Anytime I go to the beach I cherish every second b/c I know it will come to an end.
I'd ****ing LOVE to live near the beach. I know for a fact I'd always be at the beach b/c it's a part of the world I've always loved.

Monday's winter weather led to the postponement of two high school soccer matches and two community college basketball games.
In Amory, Addie Forbus will have to wait until today, weather permitting, to take a shot at becoming the state's all-time leading scorer – she needs five goals – in high school soccer.
Her team's home match against North Pontotoc was called off.
Tupelo's home Division 2-6A matches were postponed until Wednesday.
In community college basketball, the Northwest at ICC and Jones at Northeast men's and women's games were postponed.
They will be made up at a later date.

The best part of waking up is coffee and enjoying the feel of your sheet set. There's nothing better than having soft, luxurious bed sheets to look forward to after a long day's work. But how do you know what kind to purchase? There are so many options out there that can make it hard to shop with confidence. Before you invest in your next cozy set of sheets, here are some essential tips you can put in your pocket to help you find the perfect fit for your needs.
Sheets are a great way to add pops of personality. If your bedding is a solid color, try sheets with fun prints and designs to contrast. Your sheet set can rotate with your mood, doing leopard print one week, and baby blue the next. Cooler weather ahead? Drape a flannel sheet over the bottom of your bedspread.
Bedding Size
No matter how fantastic the feel of your sheets is from the high thread count, if they are not fitted and wrinkle free, they're out. An unfitted bed sheet will slide all over the place, look sloppy, and be extra work when you make your bed. Who needs that?
Make sure you know if your bed sheet should be a Twin, Full, Queen, King, or California King and stick to your size. When you know the size of your bed, you can snatch up good deals online without hesitation.
Quality Sheets
You can go to the moon and back with quality. From premium Egyptian cotton luxury to microfiber blend sheets, you can have whatever your wallet allows. Whatever your budget, you can find great deals in store and online. A standard four-piece sheet set comes in various levels of comfort and cost. It's worth investing in quality sheets because they'll last longer and save you money in the long run.
Always consider the care you have to put into your sheet set. Winkle-resistant can be an inexpensive option, and makes a big difference in the look and feel. If you're on a budget, microfiber sheets are mostly wrinkle-resistant and durable; the higher count ones are extremely comfortable and a great mid-level choice.
Extra Tips
If your face is on the oily side, double up on pillowcases. Often the oils in our face spread to our pillows and cause irritation and blockage to the face's pores. An extra set of pillowcases will help you switch them out more frequently.
An extra set of bedding is always good to have on hand, and the more sheet sets you have, the more you're able to rotate without the urgency of doing laundry.
Think ahead. When prepared, you'll purchase just the right bedding for your dream machine.

Camp near
Tennallytown M'd
Sept. 5th, 1862
My dear Mrs. Cary,
You will let me
write you a few words about my
dear friend and companion Capt.
Cary. I should have written them
earlier but for the severe and ab-
sorbing service of the past three weeks.
The first cordial hand that grasped
mine after my return from Winchester
a prisoner was that of Cap't Cary and
he was the last one to bid me adieu when
I came home. In the intimate
association and relationship as fellow
officers my love and respect for
him grew every day, and it is
not in the natural exaggeration of
my present grief at his loss that
I call him a model officer.
It is a consolation to see that
here in the sphere of his service and
honor every man mourns his loss as
a personal grief. There are many
who would gladly have died that
he might live.
I went immediately after my return
to the battle-field near Cedar Mountain,
and sought the spot where his
high, honorable and manful life
went out so peacefully on Sunday
morning. Standing there my eye
caught one or twopapers, which I
knew at once as belonging to him.
From the peculiar value that they had
for me I felt sure that they would
be dear to you and I sent them
by Mr. Shaw just as they were
taken by me from the shade of
the oak under which he rested.
Our memories of him are all
that remain to us now. Mine
are all bright and happy and
that they are ended. But I
must not intrude upon you, yet
I could not omit to express my
earnest and respectful sympathy
and to say a word in tribute
to one whom I loved and honored
so much. I hope you will
give my regards and sympathy to
Capt. Cary's mother and family.
sincere friend.
Mrs. Richard Cary
[The following text was appended to the letter and is presumably
written by the recipient, Helen Cary ] Lieut Col
Dwight died on the
19th of Sep
from wounds received at the battle of Antietam, Sep 17th /62 just five weeks &
five days after Richard.

Fight Video: RENA vs Ai Takahashi from Shootboxing 2011 Act.3
- Written by Dave Walsh
If you follow kickboxing in Japan, it's been hard to avoid the female scene over the last couple years. With Shootboxing debuting its Girls S-Cup in 2009 and the popularity of Rena as a result, women's kickboxing, mainly in Shootboxing, has drawn a lot of attention towards itself. This fight was for the Shootboxing Women's Mini-flyweight Championship and was a rematch of the 2010 Girls S-Cup Finals in which Rena defeated Takahashi by split decision in an extension round. This fight was pretty even for 2 and a half rounds until Rena began to tire and Takahashi took over the fight completely. {jcomments on}

NHTSA — Visibility: Rearview Mirrors/Devices: Exterior Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Widespread instrument panel failure is a common and frustrating reality for many 2004-2005 Chevy Cavalier owners. They're often left in the dark when it comes to knowing how fast they're going, what their engine temperature is, or even how much fuel they have left in the tank.
The likely culprit is a series of bad "stepper motors" which control the gauges and are no longer covered under warranty. Think not being able to see your speed is a safety issue and should be recalled for all owners? We'd agree. Trouble is, apparently the NHTSA does not.

I salute your the enterprise and success. However, the truth is that we are ALL subsidized by government in one way or another.
I suppose you don't like the government spending money on trips overseas with the Army to shoot up bad guys at taxpayers expense? You don't want the government to give to assist a medical student? You don't want the government supporting your local hospital? You don't want government giving out family planning info so that poor people won't be 'multiplying like a rabbit piece of garbage."? You don't want to pay for police services? You don't want that inexpensive piece of lumber raised at government expense in national forests? You want to pay a toll to a private company to use a turnpike? How about paying $25 to a private concessionaire to hold a picnic in a national forest site like several sites I saw in Colorado?
Taxes are no damn fun to pay. I am not advocating that we spend even a thin dime of taxpayer's money recklessly. But if you demand the services then pay up. Don't destroy your children's future with a mortgage financed by the Chinese.

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
I am a righty and have always cranked 'em in with the left. I guess it's a holdover from my early spinning days. I have accidentally rigged up for a righty reel and have hated it. I don't think the margin of difference in speed between my right and left hand is large enough to really make much of a difference. When I get a fish that runs at me faster than I can reel I either back up on the beach or strip the line until I can reel or feed it back to the fish.
RE:Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
Have wondered about this for about 15 years. Lefty Kreh and Flip Pallot say reel with the dominant hand for endurance and speed; Tom Earnhardt and Lou Tabory say the opposite. I have tried both methods over the years, and last year forced myself to fish the whole season Lefty's way. I'm switching back to reeling with the weak hand. I never found it particularly difficult to reel with my weak (left) hand; I did find it difficult to fight fish with my weak hand -- My timing was way off.
My sense is that, at least since Lee Wulff popularized the idea, the majority of saltwater and salmon anglers hold the rod in the dominant hand. Others are ambidexterous, comfortable with what they learned starting out or think the hand switch is traditional and like the challenge. That's not to say that Lefty Kreh is wrong when he says that the dominant hand can reel longer and faster; it's just to say that he is looking at half the picture.

RE:Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
Marvin - I was about to comment about the seeming preponderance of lefties... Alas I'm a righty.
Pete - I think I read the same point about dominant hand reeling (I think it may have been in one of the "Lefty's Little Library..." books). At any rate, I attempted to follow it last year when sw fishing. Maybe it's just me (or an indictment of my skill level), but I found it counterintuitive. When spinfishing I reel lefty as well, so I found myself overthinking my right retrieve, occasionally missing a strike, and in general feeling out of sorts.
Juro - terrific new site; it's making me antsy for ice-out.
RE:Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
Amazing how many of us leftys seem to be out there, considering we're what, 10% of the population? Anyway, with fly gear, I cast with my left and reel right. Tried switching a few years back, but didn't feel comfortable with it. So far, I've been able to keep up with the fish, but wouldn't mind hooking something that could greatly outswim my reeling . I've never bothered to pick up a lefty spinning reel, so all of mine reel left. And my conventional reels are reel-right.
Adding to the confusion, I'm right-eyed, so I shoot righty with gun or bow.
RE:Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
Pete- I've been switching from castin with my right hand to reeling with my right hand since I began flyfishing about 8yrs ago. Have no problem with the switch because I make up my mind to reel in rather than strip in when the fish makes its first run. The longer the run the more time you have to make-up your mind. I generally only reel in with a large fish or one thats being stubborn otherwise I strip the line with my left hand and then switch(if need be) to release the fish. Basically its a matter of personal preference- do what works for you. just my .02 rel
RE:Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
where have I seen this thread before? <g>...
I cast (and mend) right handed and strip, and retrieve left handed. I don't change hands and I do like to put the fish on the reel regrdless of size (just a personal preference). I feel awkward holding the rod with the left and in order to retrieve with my faster hand (the right). I agree that my dominant hand retrieves "can" retrieve faster and therefore I suspect it would help with, say, tarpon. But I don't think I could control what the rod does if I held it with my left hand. Interestingly, I feel about the same spey casting from both sides (with single, double speys and even two handed overhead casts)... not that I can spey cast very well <g>. I guess having both hands on the rod make the difference there. It is true that while casting (single handed) the line sometimes catches on the handle, but hell, once in a while it catches around the butt section too ==8-O so changing the reel setup would not help there.
RE:Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
Very interesting thread!
To respond to Pete, it would seem to me that flycasting is a strict dominant arm thing for the vast majority. I think we all tinker with casting on both sides of our head for wind or just to say we can
I feel (nearly) symmetrically comfortable about Spey casting from either side when using a pulley to set up. I'll let Brian or Bob S. comment on how well I Spey cast lefty, but I 'feel' comfortable. In any case I reel lefty when Spey casting but have noticed that when I have the long rod tucked under the arm and a violent strike occurs, the reel handle bangs into my vest and jacket rat-tat-tat like a jackhammer when a hot steelie screams down river. The handle turned to the outside (righty) would not do that.
Reeling can go either way for me, but I do feel a lot better with the rod in my right hand when fighting steelhead or something that zigs, zags, races and leaps a lot. I'm not about to question Lefty's experiences, and Bob is also adamant about RH for tarpon, and he's done a lot more of that than I.
When I am in an obvious blitz, I throw and fish lefty. As a matter of fact I remember the first schoolie I caught while fishing entirely lefty, near the mouth of the Herring River on the Cape. I also remember the first steelhead I caught Spey casting lefty, above the launch at Blue Creek on the Cowlitz River in Washington State.
Through the years, I've reeled levelwind for salmon righty, level wind for steelhead righty and lefty, spinning lefty, push button lefty - all depending on availability more than preference. Since I don't really use that stuff anymore, I guess I always reel lefty until convinced otherwise.
RE:Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
I am right handed and strip and reel with my left hand.
With two exceptions my 7 and 12 weights, I set these up right handed to fight bonefish and tarpon. I want to be able to reel with my dominant hand when these fast fish decide to swim back at me as fast as they went out. It can be confusing when I am using the 7 to catch schoolies. I still strip with the left hand but have to switch the rod should a fish get on the reel which does not happen very often with these little fish.
RE:Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
Hi Pete,
I had to read your post twice. I remembered you casting right handed with the spinning outfit. But after I you mention it, I also remembered you recording the data lefty. Funny I didn't pick up on that earlier. And I never saw you tossing a fly at the Dam. Close quarters no doubt.
I am a righty but have very good dexterity with my left hand as well. I can write and throw a ball with either hand but I'm not ambidextrous. But I definitely would not be comfortable fishing lefty. I would lose casting distance and accuracy not to mention missed strikes. I wouldn't be as comfortable playing (control) a big fish lefty either.
I don't know if this applies casting or not since I have never tried fishing lefty. But I am right eye dominant. Now I know if I tried to shoot a firearm lefty I will always be off center. My 11 year old son who is righty couldn't hit a coke can at twenty yards with his BB gun. Until I figured out although he is a righty he is left eye dominant. Once he learned to shoot lefty he can now shoot the lights out. Like I said I don't know if this is applicable. Just my .02
Casting vs. Reeling Hand...
I must be going a little nutty.
I am a lefty. I am going to spool up my new SW reel and was contemplating changing from a right hand to a left hand retrieve.
I cast and hold the rod with my left hand for fly fishing and have for years, but what got me thinking is something I read recently (I think from Lefty Kreh) about using your dominant hand when reeling in a fish. He was of the opinion that when you have to reel up line in a hurry (esp. w/ large fish) you should use your dominant hand as it tends to be more coordinated - thus increasing your chances of landing the fish as you have better line control.
In thinking about it, I realized that when:

spin fishing - I cast with my right hand and reel with my left

with a casting set-up I cast lefthanded, but still reel with the left

flyfishing cast left, reel right and strip line with the right hand
Setting the hook with either hand feels natural, however, mending line would seem a little strange if I kept the rod in my right hand and stripped in line with the left.
Does this make me unique, or is it common among other anglers? I am a little worried about transferring hands either after I cast, or after setting the hook on the fish and stripping it in. The transfer would seem to increase the chance of losing the fish.
I'm looking for some people who have switched hands, or anyone with an opinion to offer (Besides "step away from the keyboard" ) regarding the merits of switching to the dominant hand, or reasons to keep it the as is.

Seen a 7805 open up once, guess the shutdown had an issue. I also learned it's also a good idea to pay attention to voltage and polarity with tantalum caps. Anybody got any really good incendiary stories?
So this set up is losing 7V @ 500mA for a power dissipation of 3.5W.Without a heatsink, that 7805's temp shot to 110C in mere seconds. I turned it off then, since the datasheet said 120C tops.

Loyola's Orientation II focuses on networking, professionalism, career mapping for first-year students
Loyola Law School offered its first-year students the unique opportunity to glean expertise on networking, professionalism and other practical skills from seasoned practitioners during "Orientation II: The Legal Profession and Your Place In It." The program was held Jan. 14 and 15 on Loyola's downtown Los Angeles campus in the prelude to the spring 2013 semester.
Orientation II gave law students early exposure to such vital subjects as cultivating contacts, capitalizing on the economics of the legal market and translating success from the classroom to the office. Alumni panels featured top attorneys revealing how they navigated their career paths. The program, offered to both day and evening students, featured ample opportunities for students to practice their networking skills with alumni. Students were assigned to three-alumni panels featuring a wide range of practice areas – all moderated by professors.
"Loyola has always focused on training attorneys who are ready to hit the ground running upon graduation," said Michael Waterstone, associate dean for research and academic centers. "Orientation II was a day of intensive programming designed to provide first-year students with the outside-the-classroom skills they need to map their career paths early in their studies. It will also be a way for us to introduce the first-year class to our alumni network – one of our school's key resources."
The "Network Development" panel featured Steve Hughes, founder of Hit Your Stride, LLC whose client roster includes the law firms of Latham & Watkins, Kirkland & Ellis and Seyfarth Shaw. He discussed developing and maintaining a positive reputation and how to leverage it. "Trends and Economics of Legal Market" featured John Steele, who teaches Legal Professions at Indiana University School of Law and has served as the top internal ethics lawyer and hiring partner at leading Silicon Valley law firms. His discussion centered on students' employing flexibility as they customize their career path.
Office of Career Services counselors conveyed a practical understanding of students' roles as professional service providers and the essential non-legal competencies which will foster their success during "Mind the Gap: The Difference between Successful Students and Successful Lawyers in Professionalism." Combining input from legal employers and the current literature about new lawyer success, Career Services instructed students in the various self-management skills that produce quality legal work and service including: time and project management, responsiveness, taking ownership of work, collaborating effectively in teams, as well as appropriate conduct on line and in the office.
