Sex is probably the last thing on your mind when you're getting up several times a night with a newborn. But according to Contraceptive Technology, the definitive medical textbook on birth control, most women have already resumed having intercourse within several weeks of their baby's birth -- even though health experts recommend women refrain from it until their first postpartum checkup, typically at four to six weeks, to allow their bodies time to heal.
Since your ability to conceive can return as soon as a few weeks after birth, don't wait until after the baby is born to decide what contraception to use. "Ideally, you should start thinking about postpartum birth control months before you have your baby," says Sharon Schnare, a certified nurse-midwife and family nurse-practitioner in Seattle. Discuss options with your doctor, midwife, or nurse-practitioner during one of your prenatal visits or at least during the hospital stay following the birth. The important thing is to have a plan before you go home.
Nearly every method of contraception is available to new mothers, although some factors, such as a change in the size of your cervix following childbirth and whether you're nursing, must be considered. Whether you're newly pregnant, about to deliver, or have brought your infant home, read on to decide which method will be right for you.
Barrier Methods
Pluses: Condoms don't have to be fitted and they don't contain hormones that can interfere with nursing, so they're ideal for new parents (even before the first postpartum checkup).
Effectiveness: 86%*
What You Should Know: If you breastfeed, your body's balance of estrogen and progesterone will be thrown off for a few months following childbirth. If you don't nurse your baby, it can be off for a few weeks. During this time, you may experience vaginal dryness. You can ease some of the discomfort with a lubricated condom and by using an additional lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly.
Diaphragm, Cervical Cap
Pluses: They contain no hormones, so they won't interfere with nursing.
Effectiveness: Diaphragm, 80%; cervical cap, 60% (for women who've had a child).
What You Should Know: You need to be refitted -- or fitted for the first time -- at your first postpartum checkup whether you used a diaphragm or cervical cap before pregnancy or have never used either. By the time of the checkup, the vagina, cervix, and uterus will have recovered and reached the size and shape at which they will remain (usually a bit larger than they were before pregnancy).
You should be refitted even if you delivered by cesarean section. "An exception would be a woman who had a cesarean section but didn't labor long, have much cervical dilation, or have the baby's head come into the pelvis," says Gary Stewart, M.D., a family-planning consultant based in Boston. Ask your doctor if you fit into such a category.
One drawback with the cervical cap is its higher failure rate -- even when it's refitted -- when used after giving birth. Doctors aren't exactly clear on why the caps don't work as well after childbirth, but think it may be related to the changed shape of the cervix after delivery. Talk to your ob-gyn about whether you should switch to another birth-control method.
Hormonal Methods
Oral Contraceptives
Pluses: Most women who are not breast-feeding can return to -- or begin taking -- the Pill when they go for their first postpartum checkup.
Effectiveness: 95%
What You Should Know: The vast majority of birth-control pills prescribed in this country contain a combination of estrogen and progestin. Some clinicians will give nonnursing women a prescription while they're still in the hospital, but advise them not to begin taking the Pill until three to four weeks after they've given birth. The delay is to ensure that any additional risk of blood clotting after delivery will have passed. Other doctors sometimes prefer that nonnursing women wait to take the Pill until after their first postpartum menstrual period, at around six to ten weeks.
If you're breastfeeding, the estrogen released from the Pill can lower your milk's mineral content and also decrease the amount of milk produced. And although there is no evidence so far to suggest estrogen is bad for the baby, the hormone can enter the breast milk and be passed on to your baby. While some doctors do prescribe combination estrogen and progestin pills to nursing mothers, most now believe these women should consider other alternatives until their baby has been weaned.
There is a pill that contains only progestin, which won't affect the quantity or quality of breast milk. Dubbed the "minipill," it must be taken at the same time every day (which can be difficult for new moms) and has a slightly lower effectiveness rate than pills containing estrogen. To be on the safe side, doctors should wait six weeks before putting nursing mothers on this pill, too. Although the evidence is slim, some have voiced concern about progestin's effect on the newborn's liver and kidneys, which may not be able to process the hormone that gets into the breast milk.
Norplant Implant and Depo-Provera Injections
Pluses: If you're not nursing, before you leave the hospital you can arrange to have Norplant, a time-released progestin device that works for up to five years, surgically implanted in your arm. Or you can get an initial Depo-Provera injection, a progestin contraceptive that's administered four times a year by your doctor, in your arm or buttocks.
Effectiveness: Norplant, 99.95%; Depo-Provera, 99.7%
What You Should Know: As with the Pill, you may want to wait to use these two methods until after your first postpartum menstrual period, to be sure your cycle has returned to normal before you alter it. Nursing mothers may want to wait at least six weeks after delivery, for extra peace of mind.
The most common side effects associated with Norplant are irregular bleeding, headaches, and nausea. You should also make sure that the doctor inserting the device is experienced or it could be difficult to remove.
One potential side effect of Depo-Provera is that fertility may not return for up to a year after the injections are stopped. Some women also experience increased weight gain with each year of use (about 5 pounds the first year, and 3 to 5 pounds each year after). Although the injection shouldn't prevent loss of the pounds gained during pregnancy, women who have had weight problems in the past should discuss this with their clinician.
The Intrauterine Device (IUD)
Pluses: Today's IUDs are considered safe and effective by health experts and can be used by most women, although manufacturers, looking to prevent legal problems (memories of multimillion-dollar claims against the Dalkon Shield are still with them, years after it was taken off the market), recommend using their products only after having had a child.
Effectiveness: Progestasert, 98%; ParaGard, 99.2%
What You Should Know: Health experts recommend that any woman choosing an IUD be in a mutually monogamous relationship, where the risk of sexually transmitted infections is low. The device is linked to a slight increase in pelvic infections in women who have multiple partners. Most doctors prefer to insert the device at the four- to six-week postpartum checkup, when the uterus has returned to its normal size. Depending on the advice of her doctor, a woman who has had repeat cesarean sections can have an IUD safely inserted.
There are two IUDs available today. The first is ParaGard, a T-shaped device that is made of plastic wrapped with copper wire. ParaGard can be kept in place for up to ten years. It works by killing the sperm before they come in contact with an egg; the copper does not affect the quantity or quality of breast milk in nursing mothers.
The other type of IUD is Progestasert, also a T-shaped device, which releases the hormone progestin. Progestasert works by thickening the cervical mucus, so a fertilized egg can't implant itself in the uterus. It needs to be changed annually.
Side effects of IUDs include uterine cramping and increased menstrual bleeding, the main reasons some women have had them removed.
Fertility Awareness Method
Pluses: Women who prefer not to use hormonal or mechanical contraception can use this method.
Effectiveness: 75%
What You Should Know: Because the female body's indicators of fertility -- cervical mucus changes and basal body temperature -- are not reliable in the first two to three months after delivery, it can be difficult to learn and use this method. Cervical mucus doesn't return to normal until ovulation resumes, and basal body temperature can't be accurately measured unless a woman has had six hours of uninterrupted sleep, a rarity for most mothers in the first months of their baby's life.
Until regular cycles return, couples should use another method of contraception or -- if religious beliefs forbid other means -- withdrawal. According to Contraceptive Technology, withdrawal is 81% effective.
If you do decide to use a fertility awareness method (there are several), make sure you receive complete training in it to be certain you're doing it correctly.
Lactational Amenorrhea Method
Pluses: Some women who are nursing their infants have the choice of using this form of birth control. Proven effective in studies worldwide, the lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) has been endorsed by the World Health Organization and Georgetown University's Institute for Reproductive Health, among others.
Effectiveness: 98%, if you meet the criteria and perform it perfectly.
What You Should Know: LAM is very simple, but you should only consider using it if you fit all of the following criteria:
1. You've had no periods since the delivery.
2. All or most of the baby's nutrition is coming from your breast milk (meaning you nurse on demand at least every 4 hours during the day, and every 6 hours at night).
3. Your baby is younger than 6 months old.
"When any one of these conditions changes, a woman should use another family-planning method," says Kristin Cooney, a reproductive health expert at the U.S. Agency for International Development.
LAM works because the stimulation of the infant's suckling sends a signal to the mother's hypothalamus gland, which responds by decreasing the secretion of the pituitary hormones needed for ovulation. Once menstruation resumes, another contraceptive method must be used.
Tubal Ligation
Couples who have completed their families may opt for one partner to be sterilized. Tubal ligation is the most popular method of birth control in the country, and the most common method of sterilization for women.
Pluses: Women can have the surgery -- to cut and tie the fallopian tubes -- performed immediately following a C-section or vaginal birth, or they can have it done laparascopically once the uterus has returned to its normal size (two to three months later), says Charles Debrovner, M.D., associate clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at New York University. The surgery usually won't require a longer stay, and will not interfere with your ability to care for your new baby. Some women prefer to wait several months after delivery before deciding on sterilization. "One reason is that they want to be absolutely sure their baby is healthy before they end their fertility," says Dr. Debrovner.
Effectiveness: 99.5%
What You Should Know: Tubal ligation -- whether done right after birth or several months later -- may interrupt breastfeeding, especially if performed under general anesthesia. Nursing mothers can minimize the problem by making sure the surgery is done with a local or regional anesthetic, and that they won't be away from the baby for more than a few hours.
Pluses: The procedure, which involves cutting the tubes that carry sperm from the testes, is easier, cheaper, and safer than female sterilization. It's done in a urologist's office, takes about 20 minutes, and requires only a local anesthetic.
Effectiveness: 99.85 %
What You Should Know: Other forms of contraception should be used following the surgery; since sperm remain in the tubes, it takes about 15 to 20 ejaculations and a mandatory semen analysis before a man is considered sterile. Although rare and usually not serious, there may be some bleeding and an infection following the procedure.
Whatever method you decide on, a careful choice is worth the effort. As difficult as it might be to think of anything else but your newborn, it pays off in family-health dividends for all new parents to practice safe and effective after-baby birth control.
*Effectiveness rates reflect a typical user and account for people who don't use the method correctly as well as for product or procedure failure.

Portable Ableton Live System
As this is our first newsletter it falls to me to start the ball rolling with an article about some cool kit and how I've been using it. Between finishing at the end of the academic year in July and starting work here at Dolphin I have been away to Australia and SE Asia DJing with Ableton Live. I travelled with my trusted Inta-Audio music laptop, M-Audio FW Audiophile soundcard, Novation Remote 25 MIDI controller and loads of MP3s. That's a lot of kit to be carrying around on planes, boats and 'Tuk-Tuks' you might say – but it's better than carrying a flight-case or two of records I can tell you!
I've used this set up for teaching digital DJing and loop-based composition for project work and school DJ 'club' too. Ableton Live offers an intuitive and flexible platform for both production and performance – and has caused quite a revolution in the business in recent years. Essentially, 'Live' is music production software like any other profession level application but in addition to regular sequencing tasks with MIDI, virtual instruments or sound modules and audio recording it can be used for other duties: The most notable of these include loop based composition [a library of loops to build songs with is included] with substantial editing capabilities and audio file compatibility so you can import sound files from other sources [such as MP3s, which opens up huge possibilities because this is a sound format that your students will almost certainly be familiar with!]. Ableton Live's performance capabilities are noteworthy as well since it has a great 'sound engine', meaning it can cope with sound manipulation during a live performance, and great MIDI control options.
A great example of how this set up can be used with students is to do a DJ style remix using MP3s of their own they've imported into 'Live'. With some simple processing, which can be done beforehand if time and/or students' ability levels is a restriction, students can quickly select parts from the songs they've used and re-order, re-arrange, edit and accompany. 'Live' remixes can be exported for making CDs and/or performed live. It's a great way of getting students to achieve some musical results really quickly – perhaps better in this context than using EJay style loop based composition because the students can bring there own loops and songs rather than be limited to the libraries supplied these alternatives. For students who have physical disabilities Ableton Live offers great MIDI control such that most controls can be easily assigned to a controller – assigning loop 'triggers' to MIDI keyboard notes for example, so that these students can enjoy performing just as easily as other students.
I've linked such work with the broader curriculum such as with science and the study of the nature of sound or maths and the calculating of percentage changes in tempo to match beats. It's a great way of getting students engaged in learning that can be of broad ranging value. There are even some vocational courses available so your students could gain qualifications whilst enjoying these activities [check out this link which is the NCFE level 2certificate in music technology/mix DJ skills].
Having the laptop makes transporting this set up to different learning environments or performance settings easy. The sound card you choose should be determined by what you might use the system for: for instance, I use the M-Audio FW Audiophile because it is small and robust and offers two separate outputs that I can connect to a standard DJ mixer which is ideal for my own performance work [it also offers a switch able cue function for flexible monitoring]. However, if you want to record with your mobile Ableton system you might want to go for a soundcard that offers microphone and instrument inputs as well as multiple channel outputs such as the Edirol FA-66. For a MIDI controller you again would want to look at which functions would suit your specific intended purpose. I use the Novation Remote Series because they offer great quality MIDI keyboards and a range of controller functions [sliders, joysticks and knobs galore!]. You could opt for a design suited to performing with Ableton [with a crossfader for DJing and trigger pads such as the Evolution X-Session] or go for a keyboard that includes knobs and sliders [like the Novation products mentioned above]. There are many alternatives for MIDI control though so do some research or give us a call at Dolphin for some advice.
If you are an Ableton Live user already you'll probably be aware that we're expecting a major update to the product from Version 5 to Version 6. The updated features include video support, extended MIDI control and multi-processor support to improve performance on multi-processor systems. Ableton Live 6 is due for release in October.
As the Dolphin Music education web site grows we'll be adding helpful guides about all the topics mentioned in the newsletter. Anything you'd like to see feature among these guide pages let me know! Equally, I'll be looking forward to your examples of kit you're using and how you put it to good use.

Best Uses
I've been using the Forklift for about 4 years now. I haven't had a single issue. It seems very sturdy and stable, easy to use, road bike or mountain bike. I recently purchased another, maybe a year ago, again, not a single issue, very simple and easy to use.
Best Uses
I bought 2 to tote my wifes bike and mine. I installed it on the factory roof rack of my 2007 Kia Sorento. I had to do some minor adjustments to get it nice and tight. I gave this a rating of 4 because as the instructions say when installing these, your rear hatch may hit the back of these. It does. Also, the wind noise is a little bit more noticeable but livable in the stock installation. One thing I did do to the stock front roof rack was to dis-assemble it and take it down to a local machine shop where I had them drill new holes to move the front bar forward. This made it so that I could move the bike rack more forward making it so I could open the rear hatch with out hitting them. The machine shop was nice enough to do it for free even though I offered to pay them. Moving these forward like this increases the wind noise a lot, especially when the sun roof is open, but I use these on occasion, not everyday. I found that when the bikes are on racks, the bikes tend to whistle. If it's not one thing it's another right? So if you do decide to modify your stock roof rack think about this... Do you wont that whistle above you or behind you? Something to consider. Other then that The Yakima Forklifts work great! No problem so far.
Best Uses
Found the Forklift easy to mount to both my YAkima racks and my wifes factory roof racks. Easy to adjust the skewer between my road bike and mountain bike as well. Thumbs up.

Philadelphia Flyers Ice Girls
The Philadelphia Flyers Ice Girls are sponsored by Delta Dental, and thus are called the Philadelphia Flyers Delta Dental Ice Team. They are true Ice Girls, meaning they go on the ice and clean up, and don't just lead cheers and dance like some squads in the NHL. While their clothing isn't as provocative as their Stanley Cup opponents, the Chicago Blackhawks Ice Crew, I think you'll find that they still make down time during the game a bit more interesting.

A few last words about Douglas Christe's The Blue Sapphire of the Mind: Notes for a Contemplative Ecology, the title of which is drawn from the 4th-century monastic writer Evagrius of Pontus: "When the mind has put off the old self and shall put on the one born of grace, then it will see its own state in the time of prayer resembling sapphire or the color of heaven."
It is a beautiful image, although I am not at all sure what it means. We are separated from Evagrius by centuries, by a Scientific Revolution, by the Enlightenment. I am not suggesting that we have nothing to learn from the ancients, or that certain of human longings and concerns are not so deeply ingrained in our biology as to resist cultural modification. Only that the metaphors we use to describe our most profound experiences are drawn from the times in which we live, and it is difficult for a person of the 21st century to enter into the mind of a 4th-century monk.
Doug's book is about the Word, which I take as an expression of the Divine as revealed though the world. The Word graces and redeems the world; we have only to listen. Which, in Doug's view, is the importance of the contemplative tradition. His wonderful book is an extended hymn on the art –- or grace –- of listening.
But what are we listening for?
Doug quotes the early monks of the desert, who lived in a world of ghosts, dreams and spirits, physical deprivation, and (presumably) sexual sublimation. He also quotes (for example) the modern poet Theodore Roethke:
Voice. Come out of the silence.Doug's book is about the art and grace of listening, which as many poets and saints have suggested is the highest form of prayer. It is his contention that listening is a prerequisite for love, and we will only save what we care for. I imagine his "blue sapphire" is also the Earth, suspended like a jewel in the deep darkness and silence of space.
Say something.
Appear in the form of a spider.
Or a moth beating the curtain.
Doug's book speaks, I think, to both believers and agnostics. In the moth beating against the curtain, Doug hears the voice of the Word. I hear a moth beating against the curtain. I'm not sure the difference is as important as the hearing –- for us and for the moth.

Meb Keflezighi of San Diego ends a 31-year dry spell by the American men to capture the 118th Boston Marathon Monday. In the women's division, Rita Jeptoo of Kenya blistered the course in record time to win her third Boston crown.
BOSTON – Boston Strong indeed!
In a picture perfect Patriots Day, in arguably the most significant marathon since 490 B.C. when Pheidippides ran from the Plains of Marathon to the city of Athens informing its citizenry of the Greek victory over Persia then promptly expiring, it was a 38-year-old from San Diego, Meb Keflezighi, who stormed down Boylston Street before an ecstatic crowd to capture the 118th Boston Marathon crown in the "Athens of America."
His stunning victory in a personal-best time of 2:08:37 ended a 31-year dry spell by the American men, which had stretched back to Greg Meyer's 2:09:00 in 1983. In fact, Meyer was one of the first at the finish line to greet the new champion, who can add Boston to his resume that includes the New York City Marathon title in 2009 and a silver medal in the 2004 Olympics.
"Boston Strong, Meb Strong. I was saying God give me energy, God give me the spirit," said the newly minted Boston champ, who blessed himself as he turned onto Boylston Street, then burst into tears after crossing the line 11 seconds ahead of a closing Wilson Chebet of Kenya.
"Boston really needed this victory. It's 31 years later. It's beyond words,'' said Keflezighi, who maintained the lead for much of the race. ''I'm so lucky and the crowd was phenomenal, chanting 'USA, USA,' and 'Go Meb' the entire way. Before today I would say my career was 99.9 percent complete, but with this Boston victory it's 110 percent complete."
An estimated 1 million spectators lined the famous course, cheering on a 26-mile unbroken ribbon of 35,755 runners that stretched from Hopkinton to Boston and demonstrated to the entire world the resilience of Boston one year after the bombings that left three dead and more than 260 injured.
In the women's division, reigning champion Rita Jeptoo of Kenya, who blistered the course in a record time of 2:18:57, won her third Boston crown, becoming only the fourth woman to do so.
The men's wheelchair division was won by South African Ernst Van Dyk (1:20:36) for a record 10th time and reigning women's wheelchair champion Tatyana McFadden, nicknamed "The Beast," won her second consecutive title on her 25th birthday in 1:42:35, nearly four minutes ahead of the second-place finisher.
This year an additional gold-dipped laurel wreath belongs to the city of Boston, which put on an emotional spectacle with a vibe that felt like a combination of the Fourth of July, New Year's Eve, and a championship parade all rolled into one.
"Boston Billy," four-time champion Bill Rodgers, had this to say about the remarkable day.
"It couldn't be better, to tell you the truth. You know, Meb's race, which was grand, was meant to be. The whole day was special, beautiful. Everybody got it. The city got it. New England got it. And eighty countries participated in this race, so the world got it."
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, presiding over his first Boston Marathon, echoed those sentiments. "This, today, is the greatest marathon in the history of Boston. When I placed the wreath on the men's winner, I was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and pride. Meb was the first American winner in 31 years and it was the first time a Boston Mayor has placed a wreath on the head of an American winner since Kevin White," he said.
But it was the runners from all over the world enveloped in that Boston Strong spirit who ruled the day.
Quincy's Paul Rogan who ran his fifth Boston race in a time of 4:34 said, "It was the only marathon that I've run that I didn't want to end. It felt like a victory lap. It was the greatest and the crowd just packed the course. In fact, I high fived every cop thanking them from Heartbreak Hill on in and, as I approached Kenmore Square, it became very emotional for me."
Gary Allen from Cranberry Island, Maine, who ran his 22nd Boston in 2:58:38 called the crowd ''epic.'' ''If there were 10 people on the hills, there was a half of million. It was palpable, that we are taking our city back. I just witnessed Boston Strong."
Matt Radtke of Merrill, Wis., running his first Boston and finishing in 2:55:16, said, "It was nothing like any other marathon I've run. I've never been in crowds like that. It made you forget all your pain at that point."
Steve Michalski from Salt Lake City, Utah, who ran his third Boston in 2:53, said, "It was awesome. It was a Boston Strong mantra finish from start to finish. I just want to stay out and enjoy all of this. We definitely took back the finish line today."
Jame Spiere, also from Salt Lake City, who ran her third Boston in 3:28, said, "I love, love Boston. I run six to eight marathons a year, but this is the one that I come to enjoy. It was crazy loud coming down Boylston Street, very emotional, filled with tears." .
Ron Kelly from Seattle, Wash., who finished his third Boston in 3:12 said, "The unity and camaraderie was wall to wall the whole way. This is a fantastic city"
And Juliana Cerize from Brazil, who ran her second Boston in 3:14, said, "This is the best race, you could feel the spirit of the city."
The new American men's champion captured the day succinctly, pointing to his heart he said, "I wanted to do this for Boston. I prayed a lot to do it for the people."
Well done.

National security team briefing Obama on Ukraine
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama is getting regular updates on the situation in Ukraine.
Obama's national security team is discussing Ukraine at a White House meeting Saturday, the eve of a vote on whether Ukraine's Russia-leaning Crimea region should secede and seek annexation by Moscow. Obama and the leaders of other Western nations have denounced the vote as illegal and say they won't recognize the results.
Earlier Saturday at the United Nations, Russia vetoed a U.S.-sponsored resolution declaring Sunday's referendum illegal.
Crimea became a flashpoint after Ukraine's pro-Russia president fled the country last month after months of anti-government protests.
Russia refuses to recognize Ukraine's new government and has effectively taken control of the Crimea region.

Amnesty International USA offers exciting internship opportunities at the Midwest Regional Office in Chicago, IL. This office works with AIUSA members, activists and volunteers in 13 states to continue growing its movement in order to defend human rights worldwide. The office supports AIUSA local groups, student groups, volunteer leaders, and the public through education, events, public speaking, media and outreach.
The Midwest Regional office seeks responsible, dependable and creative people who:
Interns typically work 10-20 hours per week. Regardless of the capacity in which interns serve, the internship experience at Amnesty in the Midwest is most definitely unique. Interns are considered as a vital part of the team, especially with such a small office. Although the administrative side of work is certainly heavy at times, the opportunity to take initiative and suggest new directions and projects is quite strong as well. AIUSA is looking for candidates who stand out in their desire to do whatever it takes to help Amnesty's work move forward.
For more information and application materials, please click here. The deadline to apply for the 2009 summer session is April 11, 2009.
Please see http://www.change.gov/page/s/application, which provides prospective applicants with information to help them apply for positions in the Obama-Biden Administration. President Obama will make appointments throughout the federal government. Some positions will require Senate confirmation while others will not. Some appointments will be made during the transition process and others during the early part of the new Administration.
Applicants for any of these non-career positions - whether in the White House or in any Federal Department, Agency or Commission - should use this website, as applying on-line is the fastest and most accurate way to get your information to us. (If you are interested instead in a career, civil service position with the federal government, you should proceed to the Office of Personnel Management website at http://www.usajobs.gov.)
If you apply for a position now, you will not need to apply again after January 20th. Applications submitted now to the Obama-Biden Transition Project will be retained and considered by the Office of Presidential Personnel after President Obama takes office.
The Department of Justice offers approximately 1,800 volunteer internships each year. Approximately 1000 are available during the summer; with the remaining 800 offered during the academic year.
First-year (second-semester), second-year and third-year law students are eligible to apply at any time. First-year, first-semester law students may apply after December 1 for internships the following summer. The Department follows the National Association of Law Placement guidelines that prohibit employer contact with first-year (first-semester) students regarding summer employment prior to that date. Law students may work in volunteer positions only while attending law school. Law school graduation terminates eligibility, except for graduate law students enrolled at least half time and who are not practicing law. Part-time and joint-degree law students may apply provided they meet eligibility requirements.
How to Apply:
The Department publishes detailed information about volunteer opportunities and announces upcoming vacancies for specific offices in late summer (for internships during the academic year) and in December (for summer internships). Each participating office conducts its internship program independently and has its own internal deadlines. Students should apply separately to each office in which they have an interest. Offices typically request a resume and a law school transcript. Application requirements vary and are outlined in the "Qualifications" section of each announcement. Some organizations request a writing sample, a cover letter listing times and dates of availability, and references. For more information, visit OARM's website at http://www.usdoj.gov/oarm/arm/int/legalinternjq.htm.
The United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois will offer intern positions to approximately 15 law students during the Fall Semester.

To apply, pick up an application form in the Career Services Office (Handout 44). For more information, contact Monica LeKostaj, Administrative Assistant for the Intern Program, at (312) 353-1091 or click here. Applications are due no later than Friday, April 17, 2009.

Employers will interview second-year law students for 2010 summer associate/law clerk positions, and in a limited number of cases employers will interview third-year law students for Fall 2010 first year associate positions. Students who have been selected for one or more interviews can potentially obtain additional interviews through the lottery selection process.

Student registration begins April 1, 2009 and ends on July 8, 2009. Students can register for only one fair.

As part of an effort to recruit talented students and increase diversity in the Delaware Bar, a number of law firms, corporations, and governmental legal employers will participate in the Delaware Minority Job Fair for Second & Third-Year Law Students, which is being held on Saturday, August 15, 2009 on the Wilmington campus of Widener University School of Law. This job fair is by invitation only and is limited to students who are in their second or third year of law school during the 2008-2009 school year and interested in employment opportunities in Delaware.
The Delaware Minority Job Fair differs from many other job fairs in that students must be invited to attend rather than simply registering and attending. In return, the students invited receive considerable more individual attention than is possible in a very large job fair. When you submit an application for invitation, you are, in effect, submitting an application to all of the Delaware legal employers who participate in the program.
To become eligible by an invitation you must complete the application form, which is available in the career services office as handout #50, and return it via mail, fax or email, along with your resume and college and law school transcripts (if available), no later than Tuesday, April 21, 2009.
You will be eligible for an invitation if two or more of the Job Fair employers wish to meet with you. Invitations enclosing a proposed interview schedule will be sent by mid-June. Your response, accepting or declining the invitation, will be due by Tuesday, June 30, 2009.
There are no application or registration fees. If you are invited you will need to arrange for your own transportation to Wilmington. The organizers of the job fair hope to be able to reimburse you for all or at least a portion of your transportation expenses. They have historically been able to reimburse 100% of such expenses. A breakfast will be provided to all invited students. A number of experienced attorneys and leaders from the Delaware Bench and Bar will join students for breakfast to answer any questions you might have about life and the practice of law in Delaware.

After the student submits his/her registration, an automatically-generated password will be provided, which will enable him/her to use the system throughout the next few months.

Loyola University Chicago School of Law is hosting the 2009 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday, July 30 and Friday, July 31 in Chicago, Illinois. This is a nationwide interview program that targets patent law employers, rising 2L and 3L students, and students in Intellectual Property LLM programs.
Last year roughly 150 employers, 150 law schools, and 1,500 law students from across the country participated in the program. The program is entirely pre-selected, which means that students submit resumes and bid on interviews with the employers they are interested in, and employers then review the resumes of the students who bid on them and select the students they wish to interview at the program. Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews.
Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program. You do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students.
For more information on the program, please refer to the program website at http://www.luc.edu/law/career/Patent_Program_-_Stu.html.
Online student registration for this year's Patent Law Interview Program will begin on Monday, February 23 and close on Friday, March 13. On February 23, a "Register Now" link will appear on the above web page. At this stage of registration, you will only need to enter some basic information (you will upload your resume and bid on interviews later in the semester). Please note that our school is listed alphabetically as INSERT SCHOOL NAME HERE on the registration form's drop down menu of law schools.
The 2009 Patent Law Interview Program will be accepting registrations from:
Students who will graduate before the program is held in July 2009, and students who plan to graduate after May/June 2011, are not eligible for the 2009 Patent Law Interview program and should not register. Dual degree students should use the date that they will complete both of their degrees as their anticipated graduation date.
There is a non-refundable $35 registration fee which you must pay by credit card to complete your online registration. Please have your credit card ready when you register.
Please direct any questions about the program to the Patent Program Liaison in our office, Jeanne Kraft at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Fifth Annual Heartland Diversity Legal Job Fair (HDLJF) will be held August 7-8, 2009, in Kansas City, Missouri. Students who are interested in becoming part of Kansas City's dynamic legal community should strongly consider attending this event. Students who will be returning to school in August and those graduating in May are eligible to attend the job fair, as employers will be interviewing for both summer and post-graduate positions.
The HDLJF is the result of Kansas City's leading law firms, legal associations, and corporate legal departments coming together to encourage law students to practice law in Kansas City. The HDLJF is designed to expose law students of diverse backgrounds to both traditional and non-traditional legal employers. In addition, the event is a great way to learn more about living in this wonderful city.
The HDLJF will be held at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center. It will kick off with an evening Welcome Reception on Friday, August 7th at the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association. The Saturday schedule includes a continental breakfast, interviewing from 8:30am to 5:00pm, and a luncheon at which participants will be greeted and addressed by a special Keynote Speaker.
Please register as soon as possible after registration opens on March 26, 2009. Students who register before May 25th will be entered into a drawing for exciting prizes. The final deadline for registering is June 20, 2009.
Students can register on-line and find more information about the Job Fair at www.heartlanddiversity.org. Students may also contact Emily Perry at 816-474-4322.

Description: This utility knife is a perfect choice for detail tasks. It is a good middle ground between a slicing knife and a paring knife and is a good choice when slicing tomatoes or chopping garlic. The slender blade combines control and precision.
Takeo Murata, is widely considered to be amongst Japan�s elite group of highly revered bladesmiths. He lives on the island of Shikoku near Kochi. This area, formerly known as Tosa, is well known for its Tosagata-style hand forged knives and garden tools. At the age of 16 Murata-san started his apprenticeship working with his renowned uncle Tokaiji. Murata has become famous for his craftsmanship and ability to forge knives with excellent balance, sharpness and a stark beauty that speaks to Japan�s feudal past.
These beautiful black oxide (known as Kurouchi finish) knives are forged from Aogami No 1 carbon steel. This exceptional steel is particularly high in carbon and tungsten while maintaining limited rust resistance for a carbon steel knife. A fine grain structure and a hardness of approximately 64 (very hard!!) allows for easy re-sharpening and a long lasting, keen edge even through heavy use.
The handle, made from multiple layers of wood impregnated with resin, is riveted to the full length tang and will last a lifetime. Pinned stainless steel bolsters separate the handle and blade.
When knives are hand forged, a natural black oxidation is left on the blade. The traditional black oxide (Kurouchi finish), imparts a limited rust resistance. Particular attention should be paid when washing Kurouchi finished blades as a scouring pad can potentially wear off the black finish. As with other carbon steel knives, we recommend using camellia (tsubaki) oil to avoid rust and oxidation.

Report: Oakland to Leave Summit League for Horizon League
If reports out of the Detroit area are true, the Summit League will be losing two schools this off-season. Kansas City has already announced plans to join the Western Athletic Conference next year, and now the Detroit Free Press is reporting that Oakland will officially announce tomorrow that they are heading for the Horizon League.
In a story on the newspaper's website, The Free Press says the University's athletic department is holding a press conference Tuesday afternoon, following a meeting of the Board of Trustees, to announce the conference switch.
Nationally, the Horizon fared better on the court this past season, 12th in RPI, compared to 19th for the Summit.
If the move is made, the Summit League would stand at eight schools (SDSU, USD, UNO, NDSU, Western Illinois, Fort Wayne, IUPUI, and Denver) for next season.
