Part 1: Sequencers and software studios.
Sequencers or software studios are the heart and soul of your computer music making set-up. If you learn how to use a sequencer well your music creation will become an efficient and effortless process. All of the packages we discuss below come packed with features and allow you to do pretty much anything you can musically imagine, but the best are almost 'transparent' in their actions, letting you get on with the business of making music with minimum fuss. They therefore act a bit like instruments themselves and you master them by getting to know their features and short cuts, almost like a musician gets to know their instrument.
Sequencers are also known as 'host applications' in that they can host other virtual instruments and effects produced by other companies. Many have a lot of instruments included when you buy them but it's always good to have the flexibility to grow so you can build the ultimate virtual studio set-up around a sequencer that you are comfortable with.
So which sequencer or software studio should you go for?
Before we can answer that you need to decide what kind of a musician you are and what sort of music you want to make. Are you just starting out and want to create tunes by throwing some loops and other sounds together? If so check out the Best Entry Level category (below) and Ableton Live (also below). Do you want to add a lot of your own virtual instruments? If so you might like one of the more traditional package that let you add as many of these as you like depending on the power of the computer you are using. Are you a more high end user who wants to master existing audio or write music for films? If so check out some of the pro alternatives we've listed.
In short we've detailed all of the sequencers Dolphin Music sell under different buyer categories and also the platforms they run on so you can make your choice right here, right now. Pretty much every sequencer will have at least one way of doing what you want it to do and many have lots (stand up SONAR!) so that you can work with them in a way that suits you. But also remember to try out any software demos that you can to make sure that you are comfortable with them – these could be packages that stay with you for your entire musical life!
Let's take a look at the different sorts of soft sequencer starting out with the more traditional and perhaps better-known packages…
Best across the board
Steinberg Cubase (Mac & PC)
If you're new to music making you may already have heard about Cubase as it has dominated computer music for the last couple of decades going right back to its version 1 days on the Atari. Like all of the traditional software packages you build up your music track by track (the tracks appearing horizontally on the left hand side of the display) using tape control buttons to play and record notes. Your music is recorded in each track in real time minutes and seconds or musical bars and beats travelling from left to right. You end up with a grid of blocks that represent your song as an arrangement. Cubase has tonnes of editing features, software instruments and effects included so you can make music with the software alone although eventually you will want to expand by adding extra virtual instruments and possibly extra audio editing software. Cubase is the daddy of all sequencers and available for Mac and PC. We offer the complete Cubase range from SE (at £99 inc VAT) right up to Cubase SX (£499). There are educational discounts and extra bundles too such as Studiocase which is a 'best of Steinberg' featuring SE plus a lot of extra virtual instruments for just £179.
You can read about the full range of Steinberg sequencer packages here.
Best Mac software
Apple Logic
Apple's serious music package may only run under OSX but it has a great heritage and a huge fan base around the world. It's arguably smoother running than Cubase as it has been optimised for Macs only so no compromise has been made getting it working on two platforms. Feature wise it possibly excels over Cubase although there are just as many people that will tell you that it suffers in terms of ease of use. Certainly if you are a beginner, Logic may be daunting but once you get into it you will need very little more especially if you opt for the full-blown Apple Logic Pro bundle (£639) that contains possibly the best suite of music software out there including synths, samplers, guitar amps and effects. If that outlay is just too much, you may want to get a taste of Logic for less with Apple Logic Express (£179) which has less instruments but still includes a couple of neat synths and effects to get you going.
You can read about the full range of Apple/Emagic products here.
Best PC flexibility
Cakewalk SONAR
Cakewalk SONAR is one of the most popular brands of music software for the PC. It is packed with features and is possibly one of the most flexible pieces of software going. If you pick a feature, it seems there are half a dozen ways of utilising it so once you get your head around this you can really customise the software to your own working methods. Cakewalk don't believe in doing things in small numbers, it seems, and there is a huge range of SONAR applications and bundles offered here at Dolphin. The most important is the bread and butter SONAR Studio edition (£209) which features unlimited recording tracks, a groove synths and sampler plus effects. The top of the range SONAR Producer Edition (£329) adds surround and convolution effects, a groove box and some quite amazing synths.
You can read more about the full range of SONAR products here.
Not just the high end anymore…
Pro Tools M-Powered
When computer musicians talk about quality they will undoubtedly mention ProTools as it has been the industry standard in most pro studios for recording and mixing audio. Digidesign's Pro Tools was, until last year, really just for the serious music maker but now M-Audio produce Pro Tools M-Powered which, for just £199, allows you to process up to 32 channels of audio. It does require some M-Audio hardware but we sell bundles for all sorts of production set-ups including the Audiophile 2496 Pro Tools system which, at £279, is the cheapest way of getting into Pro Tools. Then there's the 1814FW system (£539) which is ideal for mobile recording and the top spec Professional system (£839) which contains the 1814 and M-Audio Octane.
You can read about the full range of M-Audio M-Powered bundles here.
But if you want high end…
Pro Tools
You can, of course, step up to more fully-endowed Pro Tools systems of which Dolphin do several packages. The Digidesign Digi 002 rack (£769) is a superb hardware interface with the better-featured Pro Tools LE software and there's even a better value bundle-version (£999) featuring an incredible selection of effects. At the real high end you might want to consider the Digi 002 Factory control surface (£1529) which is an interface and controller for your software and comes with the same bundle of great software.
See all Digidesign products at Dolphin here
Best loop-based software
Ableton Live (Mac & PC)
Ableton's Live (£235) set the world on fire when it was released just a few years ago. It completely throws the sequencer rule book out of the window by composing in a more loop-based way. But as the software effectively puts everything into time for you, you can throw pretty much everything at the grid arrangement to produce songs, and there's even a more traditional arrangement view should you wish to use it. The software comes with a whole slew of sounds, synths and effects and has also been used by DJs as well as musicians. We do several bundles and upgrade offers including one with Wavelab Essential which is an excellent way of increasing your audio editing power for minimal outlay.
See all Ableton bundles at Dolphin here.
Propellerheads Reason (Mac & PC)
Propellerheads Reason (£239, Mac and PC) is arguably the mostly widely-used piece of music software in the world and started off the careers of many a musician. It comprises a virtual rack which is full of synths, samplers, drum machines and other instruments and effects, but its beauty is in how all of these can easily connect and play so you will literally be making sweet music in minutes. It's all the hardware you could ever want in software!
We also offer extra sounds and Reason bundles here
Best entry-level software (PC)
It's perhaps a bit unfair including this as Mackie's Tracktion (£109) software is hardly beginner in terms of power but its price puts it right up there as one of the most affordable packages you can buy and it is very easy to use. The developers programmed it to be as simple and as clear as possible so that pretty much all you need to see is on one screen (unlike some other packages where endless options and menus require the use of two screens!). There's less in the way of instrumentation than in other packages but what you do get is logical and powerful.
Sony's Acid software is another cheap way of producing music very quickly. It is now at Acid Pro v5 (£199) but is still essentially the same loop-based software that has found fans across the world. Using audio loops you can build up songs track by track with the software keeping time. The latest version allows includes effects and allows expansion via VST instruments and also has sophisticated 5.1 mixing features.
Cakewalk's Home Studio (£79) is the entry level software from the SONAR family and features a surprisingly powerful array of tools including three instruments, 24 effects, 64 tracks of recording and the ability to add extra VST instruments.
Other professional performers
Digital Performer (£369, Mac) is arguably more packed with features than Cubase but has a much smaller following in the UK. It features unlimited tracks and Undos and is aimed at anyone from loop-based musicians just starting out in music right up to full-on video producers. For the price it represents great value but doesn't include nearly as many extras as Apple's Logic bundle although that retails for twice the price.
Steinberg's Nuendo (£750, Mac & PC) is the German company's hi-end software aimed at the Pro Tools market and it comes absolutely loaded with features. It's based around the Cubase interface so users of that software should find it easy to navigate although with more and more video add-ons at every update this really is a package aimed at multimedia producers.
Finally Notation software is also very well represented here at Dolphin. It starts in price from as little as £69 for Sion Quickscore Elite (PC) which enables you to create all sorts of notation with lyrics within your sequencer. Coda Finale (£299, Mac and PC) is very well regarded and one of the most powerful notation packages you can buy with a hugely flexible approach. But perhaps the daddy of notation software is Sibelius (£449, Mac and PC) which has extensive education features and enables you to write to video.

Dempsey should be a popular pickup. But will he
be the cure for what ails Seattle? Is Dos
Santos damaged goods? He's available now as a
mid with 0 fee.
There are lots of attractive matchups this
week. Will Torres start for Houston? LA has
been inconsistent recently without their Gold
Cuppers so don't count Houston out just yet.
This is an important week for Philly but the
way things line up it will be an uphill climb
for them. One positive is that they won't have
to travel far. NYC-ORL could be good but I
believe Laren is on a red and so won't feature.
MON at home vs. a struggling SEA could be
interesting. MON is lucky to face them without

CENTERVILLE, Mass. - Junior Ambika Krishnamachar (Darien, Conn.) and senior Rachel Dias Carlson (Albany, N.Y.) were selected to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III New England Women's Soccer All-Star First Team on Friday evening. Krishnamachar was one of four forwards and Dias Carlson was one of six midfielders named to the team. Only five other Engineers have earned this honor, the last ones being Emily Kuo '13 and Andrea Park '13 at the end of the 2012 season.
Appearing in and starting all 21 games this season, Krishnamachar was voted the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Athlete of the Year following her conference-leading 11 goals and four assists for 26 points, also earning a spot on the All-Conference first team. Most recently, she was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-New England North First Team and became the third MIT women's soccer player in program history to be named an NSCAA All-American, being tabbed to the third team.
Dias Carlson played in and started all but one game throughout her senior season, scoring three goals and a team-leading six assists for 12 points. She was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team for the third consecutive year and was one of six midfielders selected to the play in the New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA) Senior Bowl earlier this month. She was also selected to the NSCAA All-New England North Fourth Team.

How do you say "forum" in greek? I have been thinking about modern terms, and how to say them, but other than the vague αγορά, I can't think of anything else for "forum".
For keyboard I'd use the modern word, πληκτρολόγιο, which is good enough for the job. For an audio recording it would be ηχογράφηση, but what about "video"?
Any tips on the words you usually use?

Reiterates Commitment to Imagination Technologies Transaction
Announces Intention to Enter Into Discussions With CEVA
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for home entertainment, networking, mobile and embedded applications, today announced that it has received an unsolicited proposal from CEVA, Inc. (Nasdaq:CEVA) to acquire all of the outstanding MIPS shares, following the consummation of the proposed patent sale transaction with Bridge Crossing, LLC and the proposed recapitalization, for $75 million (U.S.) in cash. CEVA's proposal is subject to the approval of its board of directors and a brief period of confirmatory due diligence.
MIPS had previously announced (on November 5, 2012) that Imagination Technologies Group plc (LSE:IMG) would acquire the outstanding MIPS shares following the consummation of the proposed patent sale transaction with Bridge Crossing and the proposed recapitalization, for $60 million (U.S.) in cash.
The MIPS Technologies Board of Directors is evaluating CEVA's proposal and has not made a determination as to whether the proposal is superior to MIPS Technologies' pending transaction with Imagination Technologies. However, the MIPS Technologies Board of Directors believes the CEVA proposal could reasonably be expected to lead to a superior transaction, so it has determined to engage in discussions with CEVA. There can be no assurances that any definitive agreement or transaction will result from the CEVA proposal or MIPS Technologies' discussions with CEVA.
The MIPS Board of Directors continues to recommend the merger agreement with Imagination Technologies to its stockholders. The MIPS Board of Directors is not withdrawing its recommendation with respect to the merger agreement and the merger, or proposing to do so, and is not making any recommendation with respect to the CEVA proposal.
J.P. Morgan is acting as exclusive financial advisor to MIPS Technologies and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is acting as legal advisor.

Richard Anguiano, who has held a number of key editing roles at the Ocala Star-Banner over the past 20 years, has been named business editor.
Richard Anguiano, who has held a number of key editing roles at the Ocala Star-Banner over the past 20 years, has been named business editor.
Anguiano, 50, has been serving as the paper's social media editor for the past two and a half years, a role which allowed him to interact daily with the readers of Ocala.com and Gainesville.com, the websites of the Star-Banner and Gainesville Sun respectively.
In this post, he was responsible for the rapid growth of the websites' Twitter and Facebook followings and for maintaining standards and encouraging decorum in the Facebook commentary attached to the articles on the sites.
When Anguiano makes the transition to business editor later this month, those duties will be delegated to other members of the Ocala.com and Gainesville.com web team.
"To be sure, we aren't leaving social media behind; we have a firm foundation on which to build there," said Doug Ray, executive editor of the Star-Banner and the Sun.
The move to business editor represents a homecoming of sorts for Anguiano, who was the editor of the Ocala Business Journal from March 2007 to December 2010 until it was discontinued by the Star-Banner.
As business editor, he will coordinate coverage of various segments of the local economy, reporting on the comings and goings of retail businesses and tracking trends in banking, employment, real estate, industry and more.
"Richard has broken new ground for us as social media editor and he's the right person to bring that passion for community engagement to our business coverage, which needs more attention as our business climate in Marion County improves," said Ray. "There are important stories to tell. Richard's contacts and background in the business community make this a natural fit. As we seek ways to increase the amount of local content in the Star-Banner and on ocala.com, this is an important step forward."
Anguiano joined the Star-Banner in 1993 as a reporter. He has filled several key roles in the news operation over the years, serving as an assistant city editor and news editor in addition to his work as Ocala Business Journal editor and as social media editor.

Celebrating a 10-year-old's birthday would mean clowns, confetti, and screaming, and though last night's Y-3 bash, feting a decade in the biz, was much more chic, there was a bit of that youthful, chaotic feel to the party, too. A glowing, moving wall (uh, perfect for Instagramming), a kick-ass DJ, a lights-off dance floor, and of course, the drinks, made for an event that seemed to blur the lines between reality and club kid fantasy rager. Or, you can just ask Yohji Yamamoto (obvs), A$AP Rocky, Jeremy Scott, Isabel Lucas, Anton Yelchin, Susanne Bartsch (or us!), all of whom turned out to congratulate the milestone mark. And, you know for our part we like nothing better than reliving those NYFW nights that we actually can let loose and not think about deadlines (at least until we hit the snooze button for the first time come a.m.). So, we snapped up all the out-of-control partying to bring you a look back at the craziness, definitely alcoholic cocktails, light shows...and not the hangover.

All but one lane of the I-5 Freeway in Sun Valley reopened Wednesday night, hours after a mudslide sent dirt, rocks and debris across five lanes, California Highway Patrol officials said.
The mudslide occurred just before the afternoon rush hour, blocking all five lanes of the northbound 5 Freeway below the Sunland Boulevard overpass. On the other side of the freeway, all but a center lane -- not usually intended for traffic -- were closed due to flooding.
Drivers inched single file past a massive puddle that covered four lanes on the southbound 5 Freeway.
By 9:50 p.m., all of the southbound lanes and all but one of the northbound lanes were reopened as cleanup efforts continued late into the night.
CHP received reports of the mudslide shortly after 2 p.m. At least one car was trapped in the mud and had to be towed away, aerial footage showed.
MORE: Download NBC4's Free Weather App | Interactive Radar
"With all of the dry weather we've had, the moisture is squeezed out, all along the 5 Freeway," said Fritz Coleman, NBC4 weathercaster. "So that area is a little more vulnerable to mud slides."
Drivers are advised to use Glenoaks Boulevard or San Fernando Road as alternates, according to a SigAlert issued for the area.
There is no estimated time for when the lanes will reopen, CHP said. A CalTrans spokesman said crews will have to haul away the feet-deep mud before drivers are allowed through.
The cause of the mudslide has not been determined, but aerial footage showed workers raking debris from a clogged grate (pictured at right) above the freeway where the slide appears to have originated.
What caused the flooding on the southbound lane is also under investigation.

When it comes to skin, lots of us are worried about getting older and what affect that will have as the years move on.
If you take care of your skin as early as you can in life then anti-ageing products are not the main thing on your mind. Let's face it, too much worrying will cause lines anyway!
Your skin will age, that's a fact of life for all of us but you can help reduce the signs of premature ageing with some simple anti ageing skin care tips.
You don't have to be of a certain age to experience wrinkles and ageing skin, factors such as too much exposure to sunlight, smoking, poor diet and rapid weight loss can all be contributing factors.
Researchers have proven that when you look better you feel better, so read on to find out about the best anti-ageing skin care tips you can use to stay looking youthful and radiant.
Tip One: Always protect your skin from the sun as 60% of wrinkles are caused by sun damage. The sun can also contribute to age spots and other more serious skin problems. Always use a strong sunscreen on a daily basis to protect your skin.
Tip Two: Stop smoking; it makes your skin look older than it is and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outer layers of your skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes your skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to your skin health. It also damages collagen and elastin, which are the fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity.
Tip Three: Eating a healthy diet can not only make your feel better from within but it can also promote younger looking skin. Always eat a diet that is rich in organic fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. Cutting out unhealthy fats, processed foods and refined carbohydrates.
Tip Four: Getting your beauty sleep couldn't be truer saying. When you sleep your body is in renewal phase and repairs any damage to your cells. Without enough sleep this doesn't happen at the right level which over time causes damage. A good night's sleep has so many benefits and one being it's one of the best ways to keep your skin looking young and healthy.
Tip Five: Stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts even with ageing skin. To encourage healthy skin and importantly a healthy state of mind, you need to manage your stress. Set yourself reasonable limits and make time to do the things you enjoy in life.
Tip Six: Take care of your hands as ageing hands can sometimes give the game away. You take care of your face and body with moisturizers, so why not your hands? Your skin produces less collagen as you age causing the appearance of thin skin, along with wrinkles and age spots. Measures can be taken to help prevent these factors or at least slow down the process by moisturizing your hands throughout the day which will protect them against dryness, applying sunscreen to your hands and wearing gloves when washing up, to protect against cleaners and detergents.
Remember, that the earlier you start to take care of your skin the better the benefits will be.

1Password for Mac Tips: How to update your passwords
In every password's life, there comes a time to get changed. Maybe it was never a very good password to begin with, maybe you were a victim of password reuse, or maybe you were among the 200 million accounts stolen in the recent Adobe and Sony breaches.
Fact is: every password dies, not every password really lives.
When it's time to change a password, the latest versions of our browser extension and 1Password 4 for Mac make it really, really easy. Give this a shot:
- Use the extension to log into your service of choice
- Go to the password reset page, it's usually in Settings or Options somewhere
- (Optional) If your current password is required, click our extension and mouse to the right of the Login you want to update. Your details will appear in a menu to the right. Mouseover your password and click to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it into the Current Password field in the webpage (keyboard shortcut fans will be happy to know you can do all this with arrows keys and Return to copy the password)
- Click our browser extension and go to the Password Generator to get a unique, super strong new password. Customize any details you like (such as length or special characters), then click Fill to automatically fill it into the New Password fields on the page
- Click the Save button in the password reset form, and the 1Password extension will offer to update your existing Login, much like that glorious window you see above. If you have multiple Logins for the current site, be sure to pick the right one to update
Click Update in that window, and your new password is now saved for your existing Login! But wait, there's more, and you can see it if you click that little details arrow next to the Login name:
If you make use of 1Password's tags and folders (you should, they're really handy!), you can add tags and file this updated Login into an existing folder, all right from the extension. Plus, if you give 1Password 4 for Mac's new Security Audit feature a whirl, you can get a good idea of which passwords you might want to update first. Super cool?
Very super cool.

Shailen P. Bhatt, the cabinet secretary for the Delaware Department of Transportation gave an update on several projects on Wednesday. One of those projects was the West Dover Connector.
Shailen P. Bhatt, the cabinet secretary for the Delaware Department of Transportation gave an update on several projects on Wednesday. One of those projects was the West Dover Connector, a 3.2 mile stretch of road way that is set to stretch from an area near the Rodney Village Shopping center on U.S. Route 13 to the intersection of North Street and Saulsbury Road. It will also have connections to New Burton Road and Wyoming Mill Road, according to John Gaines, project manager for the West Dover Connector.
"The West Dover Connector is going to provide a really good link form the West side of Dover to U.S. Route 13," Gaines said. "Traffic studies have shown that a huge amount of traffic comes down Saulsbury Road, hits North Street and has to filter through local roads to get to 13. This provides a direct line instead of cars cutting through neighborhoods."
The West Dover Connector is a project that has been on the books at DelDOT for nearly ten years. Now the process of making that road and actuality has begun, Bhatt said.
"We are finishing up the design and acquiring right of way in FY 14," Bhatt said. "We are supposed to go to construction on that in the summer of 2014."
Over the past six to eight months 13 families have been relocated in order to make way for the coming project. All of the transactions were amiable, Gaines said. DelDOT is now focusing on acquiring tracts of open land for the road way, Gaines said.
"We have several large tracts to purchase as we cross farms," he said. "We acquired houses first because we were holding those people's lives up. They were first priority. Now the remainder of the parcels are being appraised and we should start making offers soon. We hope to have all of the land acquired by March or sooner."
DelDOT is expecting toe project to take between two and two and a half years to complete once ground has been broken, Gaines said.

Wilton hands Warde fifth-straight loss
As his team dressed just 27 able bodies for its game Friday against Fairfield Warde, Wilton High School football coach Bruce Cunningham knew his club would have to dig deep.
And dig deep the Warriors did.
Wilton's defense forced four turnovers and its did enough as the Warriors held off the Mustangs, 14-0, on Friday at Fujitani Field.
"That was just a bunch of guys who found a way," Cunningham said. "I can't be prouder of a football team than I am tonight."
Wilton improved to 4-5 -- despite missing 17 players -- and will try to sew up a .500 record when it takes on Trinity Catholic on Thanksgiving at 10:30 a.m.
Warriors junior quarterback Brett Phillips ran for a score and threw for one and receiver Weston Wilbur led the team with five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. Wilbur also intercepted a pass.
"Our defense was ball-hawking tonight," Wilbur said.
Warde subbed sophomore Brandon Bisack for senior starting quarterback Max Garrett midway through the third quarter. Bisack finished 7-for-17 for 78 yards, but was victimized by multiple drops from his receivers.
"Brandon looks pretty good," Warde coach Duncan DellaVolpe said. "He's only a sophomore so this is good experience for him."
"He missed some of those throws ... and they dropped a couple too," Cunningham said. "He's going to be a real-good player. He scared me"
Four times Warde advanced inside the Wilton 35-yard-line and each time the Warriors defense held. On three such occasions, Wilton forced turnovers -- including Wilbur's interception on the first half's final play.
"When you don't execute at all, you're never going to win a game," DellaVolpe said. "We had numerous opportunities and did nothing with them."
Trailing 7-0 at halftime, the Mustangs caught a break, recovering a pooch kickoff and advancing to Wilton's 34. But a bad shotgun snap was recovered by the Warriors at Warde's 41-yard-line.
"We just played really well as a defense," Wilbur said. "We really overcame adversity tonight."
Wilton went the distance in six plays, capped by Phillips' 21-yard touchdown strike to Wilbur on fourth-and-one,making it 14-0.
"The connection's always been there," Wilbur said. "It just came out tonight."
"That was a huge play," Cunningham said.
After a scoreless first quarter, Wilton scored on its first second-quarter possession. The Warriors went 65 yards in eight plays -- aided by back-to-back Warde personal fouls. Phillips' 3-yard run put Wilton on the board, 7-0.
"Defense played very well," DellaVolpe said. "We had two 15-yard penalties ... and that changed the whole game."

I'm not sure that you're follow the economics of the situation. Firms that want the best lawyers will pay the most money to get them. This is the whole Biglaw concept. Do all the best lawyers get paid the most? No, Biglaw pays the most to recruit as many of the top candidates as it can. Some students choose not to take that route. My point is that industry generally defines what a good lawyer is, and by tracing backward from there, you can find that a good LSAT is generally a prerequisite to becoming a good lawyer.
Good lawyers aren't defined. They are identified. The main thing that big firms care about is the bottom line, and if they found out that Cooley and Widener were producing the best lawyers then the big firms would hire them and pay them shitloads of money. If the best articles every year were by Cooley and Widener students, then they would be the one's getting published. Ultimately there isn't any conspiracy keeping Yale and Harvard at the top -- they just have the students that the people who care about the bottom line want to hire and they have the students whose writing is the most publishable and so on. I repeat: there is no conspiracy.
so.. is this the argument on is the lsat sufficient or necessary to determine who the best lawyer will be?sounds like a bit of overstatement.. although I've heard on some occasions lsat scores being requested, most want to know class rank and GPA for the FIRST job out of school.. after that it's all about book of business which means rain-making skills are even more important. In this case, perception is carries more weight than objective reality.
I am pushing an inquiry as to the LSAT's predictor of lawyer performance. Ninja had the best post on this so far. The problem that I'm finding is that "lawyer performance" is ill-defined, at best dependant on too many variables that the LSAT doesn't take into account.

Web Business Monthly
Your site is down. Customers find nothing at your Web address. Or worse, they find someone else's Web site. Maybe your competitor's. Or content that embarrasses them. It's a disaster. Your online business may never recover. How could this happen?
Too easily. Among the most common causes of this awful scenario is the routine expiration of a Web address. Sometimes it happens because renewal notices go to unused or abandoned email addresses, or to ex-employees who don't respond. Occasionally people simply forget to renew their Web addresses.
You can take three measures to prevent accidental expiration from damaging your business. First, check your contact information and make sure the email address listed for the administrative, billing, and technical contacts is yours. (Consider getting a permanent email address that won't change when you switch providers or jobs.) Second, renew your Web address for a multi-year term--you won't have to worry about renewing every year, and you'll also save money. Third, sign up for an automatic renewal program that will charge your credit card for another year of registration if you don't renew by a certain date. Register.com calls its version of this service SafeRenew, and offers it free-of-charge.
Starting and growing your online business takes too much work to risk losing it all over a lapsed Web address registration.

Person familiar with talks says QB Kevin Kolb agrees to 2-year deal Buffalo Bills
BUFFALO, N.Y. – A person familiar with talks says free-agent Kevin Kolb has agreed to a two-year contract with the quarterback-needy Buffalo Bills.
The person said the deal, reached Saturday night, is potentially worth over $12 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Bills haven't announced the move.
Several media outlets, including ESPN.com and The Buffalo News, first reported the agreement.
Kolb is a six-year player, who spent two injury-troubled seasons in Arizona before being cut by the Cardinals on March 15.
The Bills are in need of help at quarterback after releasing starter Ryan Fitzpatrick this month.
Kolb has struggled with consistency. He has completed 59.5 percent of his passes, while throwing 28 touchdowns and 25 interceptions in 34 career games.

BabyBjorn Bouncer Balance Soft - Organic20520
Rocking that develops motor skills and balance
Babies love to rock! Your baby quickly learns how to make the bouncer rock by his or her own movements and this develops balance and motor skills in a completely natural way. Our bouncer does not run on batteries – it runs on playfulness.
Proper head and back support:
When you choose a bouncer from BabyBjorn, you can be sure your baby is getting the proper support for his/her back and head. The bouncer has a fitted fabric seat that molds itself to your baby's body and distributes your baby's weight evenly. This gives your baby good support and is particularly important for very young babies whose muscles are not yet fully developed.
Suitable for both rest and play: Your baby's playfulness can quickly turn into sleepiness. The bouncer has different positions and you can easily and quietly adjust the bouncer from the highest play position to the lowest sleep position. The bouncer can also be folded completely flat – perfect for storage or transport.
Bouncer and chair in one: BabyBjorn Bouncer Balance Soft can be used as both a bouncer and a comfy chair. From the time your baby is newborn (at least 8 lbs/3.5kg) and until she or he has learned to situp unaided, it can be used as a bouncer. When your child has learned to walk and sit independently, you can reverse the fabric to create a comfy chair (up to 29 lbs/13kg or approximately 2 years of age).
Rock tiny babies to sleep: Bouncer has a natural rocking movement that calms and soothes. In the early months, you can rock your baby to sleep in the bouncer by hand or foot. And who knows – this may be what makes your baby give their very first smile.
Color: Black / Brown
Age: From newborn to approximately two years (8-29 lbs/3.5-13 kg).
- The fabric consists of 100% cotton. The padding is 100% polyester.
- The textiles closest to the child are tested and approved in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 (5) for baby products. They are guaranteed harmless to children's sensitive skin and will not trigger allergies.
Weight and Dimensions:
- Weight: 4.6 lbs/2.1 kg
- Height/length/width in highest position: 23 x 35 x 15.5 in/58 x 89 x 39 cm
- Height/length/width in transport mode: 4.5 x 35 x 15.5 in/11 x 89 x 39 cm

Pacers rally from 20 down to top Cavs
Indianapolis, IN – The Indiana Pacers were on the cusp of their third straight blowout defeat and a nearly insurmountable climb to earn the Eastern Conference's second seed.
But then they woke up.
And in a hurry.
Paul George's go-ahead 3-pointer with 29 seconds left lifted the Pacers to a 99-94 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Indiana trailed by 20 points early in the fourth, but a 17-0 run in the frame got the Pacers back in it. A bit later, George Hill's three-point play in transition following a Lance Stephenson steal gave them their first lead of the second half, 93-92, with 46.5 seconds left.
Kyrie Irving hit two free throws to put Cleveland back on top, but Hill drove and found a George wide open in the left corner at the other end and he buried the 3-pointer to make it 96-94.
Irving was called for a charge on the Cavs' next touch and Jeff Pendergraph split a pair of free throws to keep it a one-possession game. But Wayne Ellington missed a right wing triple and George calmly sunk two free throws with six ticks remaining to seal the victory.
Indiana outscored Cleveland 35-10 in the final frame.
"We finally got back to playing like our old selves," George said.
Hill finished with 29 points to lead the Pacers, who are 2 1/2 games behind the red-hot New York Knicks for the No. 2 seed in the East.
Irving registered 29 points and seven assists for Cleveland, which has dropped 13 of its last 14 meetings against Indiana.
"We took our foot off the gas," Irving admitted.
Indiana led 29-26 after a quarter, but Cleveland outscored the Pacers 27-19 in the second to take a 53-48 advantage into the break.
The Cavs closed the third on a 13-3 burst to vault them to an 84-64 cushion heading into the fourth.
It was 88-68 in favor of Cleveland with 9:04 to play before Indiana rattled off 17 straight points over the next 4:40 to pull within 88-85 with 4:24 remaining.
Game Notes
Cleveland had won back-to-back games coming in on the heels of a 10-game slide ... David West recorded 15 points and nine rebounds for the Pacers ... Indiana had a 33-7 edge in fastbreak points.

Reviews & RatingsRate and Review It
Customer Reviews
I've have this bad boy for maybe almost two years now. I love it. But lately I've noticed that it's a bit uuhhh loud when I turn it on. A soft vibrating hum is fine but it nearly sounds like a weed Wacker when I turn it up on high. Kind of hard to discreetly diddle my fiddle nowadays. Currently looking for something new. I'll keep this to use on days that I'm alone though :)
I give this a high rating anyways because I'm going to buy it again just because it is the best ever when you get it. Has a short life though. Not that expensive so its worth it in my eyes, got this in store, was most impressed by it, at first it was wonderful but I believe the shower was what did it in, the thin metal on the inner top half of it where the batteries touch near the spring turned not so nice colors and now it DRAINS the battery, you need to smack it around to get it to work right sometimes, or its not as strong until you put brand new batteries in. Like I said, I think its a water problem.
Best goddamn toy you will get
STRONG or soft depending on what you like
Awesome shape
Easy to clean
Don't use in water
When its use goes down so does the battery life
According to other people mine isn't the only one that got a bit faulty
Overall, will buy again if just for that time before it breaks!
I love love love how this vibrator performs. However, and this is a HUGE however, it is very poorly made. The problem is with the dial that turns it off and on and adjusts the speed. It worked for a couple of months and then was like a hair trigger and would not let me adjust the speed and then just broke off completely. I loved the vibrator so much that I purchased a second one and it has been working well for a year now. Here come the HOWEVER PART. Recently when in the Bay Area and bolstered by the performance of my second Blue Venus I purchased my third Blue Venus for a back-up, used it TWICE and the control knob broke off. You can take your chances with this one. When it works IT WORKS however, odds are against you that it will last more then a few times if you are lucky. And as you can see by the other reviews, this is a major problem with this vibrator.
Bought this as my first vibrator and I was all excited to use it when it arrived on the doorstep. Sadly, after less than 10 minutes on high, the device drained the new batteries that I just put in. If you put it in the lowest possible setting you can maybe pull 20-30 minutes out of it but the downside is you can barely feel the vibrations. Although the price seems good, the quality of it isn't.
This was my first vibrator, and I was HORRIBLY EMBARRASSED to buy it, but at the same time...oh my was I pleased. Inexpensive, but still good quality, this vibrator is sure to please if you are a fan of clitoral stimulation. There is a very nice range of vibrations (at least while the batteries are high, as they start to drain, which happens rather quickly, the vibrations no longer reach the intensity as they were before) which are "deep" (meaning low-pitched). It's very discreet as well, and quiet, which is wonderful if you live in an apartment/dorm situation like I do. The dual-ended tip was lovely as well, and the varying types of stimulation were great.
It was only my first vibrator, so I'm not entirely sure if I even know what I'm talking about, but know that this has me highly impressed and it will definitely be in use for a while. If you're not sure if you should try it, wait for a sale, and then snag it (that's what I did), and I was not disappointed! :)
I'm officially throwing away my other vibrator. I have been searching the ends of the earth for a vibe that concentrated on just the clit. I'm not a big fan of penetration unless it's an actual penis. The intensity is AMAZING! I'm gripping the sheets in under 15 seconds. Cons? It isn't quiet enough to use on high in a completely silent place when there's someone sleeping in the next room. Other than that, I'm in love and satisfied.
I picked this as my first vibe cuz it seemed like it would offer good variety for it's price - and I was right! It's easy to get both more intense concentrated sensations as well as more subdued ones, and the levels of vibration are easy to change in between with the glidey wheel so it becomes intuitive very quickly. It isn't too loud either. The only thing is it does eat up batteries, but I don't mind, I'm just gonna get rechargeable ones because I like this toy so much.
When I got it, I really didn't know what to do with the nub or dip at all. I don't really use either now.
The only problem I have with it is in order to get to the highest setting (which is the only setting that can get me over the top), I have to turn the nob all the way, and firmly hold it in place. This has worked, after some coaxing, but makes my fingers ache (and that's why you buy vibrators, right?)
I was enjoying my first experimentation with this vibe when the adjustable dial broke off, as mentioned by other reviewers.
- vibrations are strong, "deep" vibrations; more of a BUZZZZZZ than a bzzzzzz
- interesting design with dual end, which I would have liked to try further
- quiet, especially for its power
- I liked the dimmer-switch-type gradual adjustment dial
- vibrations are strong throughout the toy, which buzzes your hand as well as your nethers
- before it broke, the non-business end of the thing got hot, I mean HOT, after only about 20 minutes of use or less
- as mentioned, stupid end cap broke off maybe halfway through the first time I used it
The only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is that I was enjoying it until it broke. However, the design is obviously faulty that so many reviewers are having the same problem. I'd like to buy another one except that I'd expect the same thing to happen to it. Hopefully it would at least last through its first ride next time. I could understand if it'd been a well-loved workhorse, but breaking halfway through the first time I used it is totally unacceptable.
Would gladly buy another one at this price if they fixed this blatant, egregious quality control issue.
I bought this vibe last September. I loved it! However, just 6 months later, with occasional use, it shorted out and no longer works, much to my disappointment. I'm not sure if this is a manufacturer defect or not, but I do wish it had lasted a bit longer and had a warranty. :-(

Nathan Misa of MMGN: "The PS Vita has gotten a lot of flak lately for not having consistent and compelling software releases, especially exclusives, but with Gamescom 2013 revealing a slew of new games, and blockbusters Killzone: Mercenary and Tearaway on the horizon, it's nothing but a great time to be a Vita owner.
However, that's not to say there aren't already several must-have exclusive games to play right now! MMGN takes a look at the best, most essential exclusive Vita games you shameful pessimists should already have played."
That's actually a really good list. Can't say I disagree with any of them as they all deserve to be there for different reasons.
Other Vita games announced, but not mentioned:
The Walking Dead (with Vita controls)
Malicious Rebirth
Ragnarock Ace
Not gonna lie, if you own a vita and dont own P4G, go get it, Ive never smiled, fist pumped and yelled F** Yea so much in my life. Idk, theres something about that masterpiece that just makes you feel good.
But the entire list is pretty good, I didnt like uncharted though. I havent played any uncharted games before so i dont have a gauge, but im not a fan of this whole follow the straight line while listening to people talk thing.

Columbia University Medical Center Opens Midtown Outpatient Center
Jan 24, 2013, 12:21 ET
NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ColumbiaDoctors Midtown officially opened its doors today with a ribbon-cutting by leadership of Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and ColumbiaDoctors physicians, dentists, and nurse practitioners. The location puts many of the city's top doctors from New York's No. 1 academic medical center in the heart of Midtown, at 51 West 51st St., between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130124/NY47898 )
ColumbiaDoctors is the medical practice comprising faculty of Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons, College of Dental Medicine, and School of Nursing. More than 225 physicians, dentists, and nurse practitioners offer comprehensive medical services, including cardiology, executive health, pre- and post-surgical care, psychiatry, radiology, travel medicine, and women's health, as well as laboratory services at the new Midtown location.
Designed for the convenience of patients, ColumbiaDoctors Midtown offers coordinated appointments for those seeing multiple specialists, comfortable waiting areas, and ample natural light. Services are available from early morning to evening and on Saturdays. There is shuttle service between ColumbiaDoctors Midtown and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center in Washington Heights.
Easily accessible via foot, car, and mass transit, the new facility is adjacent to Rockefeller Center and a short distance from the Port Authority Bus Terminal, Penn Station, and Grand Central Terminal. Discounted valet- and self-parking is available.
"People come from throughout the Tri-State area, and even beyond, to see Columbia doctors. The new ColumbiaDoctors Midtown makes it even easier—for both our existing patients and our new ones— to be cared for by our renowned experts," said Lee Goldman, MD, dean of the faculties of health sciences and medicine and executive vice president for health and biomedical sciences, Columbia University Medical Center.
The practice was formerly called ColumbiaDoctors Eastside and located at 16 East 60th St. The need to expand and establish a larger presence in Midtown fueled the move to 51st Street. The new location is expected to serve at least 20 percent more patients per year. The facility has approximately 125,000 square feet and 125 exam rooms. In addition to the 225 healthcare professionals who practice at the Midtown location, patients have access to the entire 1,200-member ColumbiaDoctors multi-specialty practice and its locations in New York City, Westchester, and throughout the Tri-State area.

Who We Are
Board of Trustees
SST has an excellent Board of Trustees which has the fiduciary and legal responsibilities for the trust, and ensures adherence to the legal requirements, policies and ethics of all that SST and its partners undertake in contracts, projects and programmes. Four of the eight current board members are lawyers with considerable professional experience in financial matters. Other trustees have expertise in education, science and business. The primary role of the trustees in all programmes is to ensure that the finances are meticulously managed, that the contracts are carried out as agreed, and that the policies and ethics that guide the trust are followed. Trustees are guided by the CEO on scientific, educational and technical issues. The CEO is supported in some programmes by a technical and academic advisory panel.
The principal trust is administered by the Senior Trust Practitioner of the Nedgroup Trust (Pty) Limited in Cape Town. Nedgroup Trust inherited a proud and long history in trust management when it absorbed the BOE Trust Limited, which was the oldest trust company in the world. This history inspires confidence.
The Patrons are figureheads who support SST and bring credit to the organization. SST has a superb board of patrons led by Dr Sylvia Earle, the internationally renowned, multi-award winning marine conservationist, who is also the architect of the Global Hope Spot movement. Dr Earle was one of SST's founding trustees before becoming a patron.
The other international patron is Mr Masaki Miyaji of Japan. The South African patrons include Peter van Kets, a famous adventurer and explorer; Prof Derrick Schwartz the Vice-Chancellor of Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University contributing an academic component; and Mr Craig Foster, an internationally renowned film-maker and a pioneer of the Sea Change programme encouraging people to better understand the marine environment.
The Operational Team
Frequently SST seems to be punching well above weight, especially if seen in isolation from its partners and supporting networks. This is due to the SST policy of maintaining a small core staff, and acting as a facilitating or co-ordinating body. Much of what SST achieves should be measured by what other organizations and individuals have performed. SST raises funds for programmes then draws in partners, such as the case for the Keiskamma Food Security project. Participants from Rhodes University (anthropologists, educators, socio-economists, geographers, economists, and marine scientists), Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (estuarine and marine scientists), University of Fort Hare (agriculturalists and geographic information scientists), and from Keiskamma Trust (educators and sociologists) were drawn together through SST to facilitate this project.
This programme is most easily appreciated through the films, and access to the book and reports arising from the films can be obtained.
Similarly, the SEA Pledge tours and Hope Spot programmes have depended on broad scale collaboration, in which SST has acted as the facilitating body. Our small SST team and its volunteers have harnessed the support of hundreds of people in scores of organizations.
The policy of not committing to a large permanent staff means that the costs of running SST are kept lower, despite having to occasionally employ short-term consultants who are well paid.
More details of the operational team of SST, led by Dr Tony Ribbink, are provided here.

Serious artists don't work in a vacuum. Inspiration for musical creativity can be found in movies, poetry, painting, a conversation, a great dinner, and, of course, especially in recorded masterpieces from the past. Here's a list of 10 great albums that can fan the flames of your own creativity, each chosen for a specific approach that takes it outside the box and into the stratosphere.
Jimi Hendrix's Axis: Bold As Love (1967): The art of mixing is dead in the world of modern recordings, where flat spectrum discs mastered with high compression dominate, snuffing out opportunities for sonic nuance. Hendrix understood that the sound of an album can be a living, breathing and, perhaps most of all, moving thing. Axis, like St. Pepper's, is a primer for creative mixing. Especially for guitarists. Voices and instruments constantly move in the stereo spectrum, forcing changes of perspective and refocusing the listener. Then there's Hendrix's deft guitar texturing. If you want to learn how to imagine and place guitar overdubs within the art of creative mixing, Axis is ground zero.
Tom Waits, Rain Dogs (1985): There is a lot to be gleaned from this pivotal album in Waits' career, from how to deliver a vocal performance with intimacy ("Downtown Train") to drawing on a myriad of forms — jazz, country, rock, blues — simultaneously in an arrangement. But one of this disc's big lessons is how effectively angular rhythms and unconventional percussion can color the sound and shift the aesthetics of an entire album. "Singapore," "Clap Hands" and "Cemetery Polka" are all jitters and atmosphere thanks to their smart, asymmetrical drumming and the use of unconventional percussion sounds including a 2x4 plank slamming a chest of drawers. When it comes to rhythm and songcraft, Waits and Rain Dogs open frontiers.
Black Keys' El Camino (2011): Dan Auerbach brilliantly combines retro guitar sounds with modernist songwriting on the Black Keys' latest album. Of course there are elements of '60s garage rock and psychedelia, as well as '70s African pop, in the disc's bones, but tunes like "Gold on the Ceiling" and "Lonely Boy" balance rhythmic flourishes and vocal arrangements that are entirely modernist. No matter that Auerbach's recording gear is old and funky. His tightrope walk between sophisticated production and composition and lo-fi sound exudes contemporary hipster chic. And his guitar is always big, fat and filthy — a timeless cross between Blue Cheer and Lightnin' Hopkins.
Sonny Sharrock's Seize the Rainbow (1987): Mention improvisation and most guitar players think in terms of jazz harmonies and melody, or Allman Brothers style jamming. Sonny Sharrock, the late father of free jazz guitar, went well beyond the usual paradigms to forge his own voice in pure, textured sound. And when it comes to slide, nobody else has ever played with the bold, screaming directness of Sharrock's expressionism. Plus, he always played his Gibson L-5 and Les Paul Customs with balls and mile-wide tone. Listen to his solo on "Dick Dogs." It seems impossible that he'll ever find his way back from his Pultonian wailing to the song's core melody, and yet with a few well-chosen notes he dives back into the song's groove and tune. Guitarists who don't listen to Sharrock are cheating themselves out of fully embracing the capacity of their instrument.
John Coltrane's A Love Supreme (1965): Looking for inspiration in musical instruments besides the guitar is essential for six-stringers. That's how Charlie Christian and the rest of jazz guitar's foundational players found their voices. But as much as Coltrane's sax is an amazing gate-opener to the heights of harmonic invention and raw, soulful wailing, his band on A Love Supreme — especially core players McCoy Tyner (piano), Elvin Jones (drums) and Jimmy Garrison (bass) — move as a single, living organism. Their interplay is flawless and thrilling, and the sense that they are spontaneously discovering new elements of the compositions that they are performing is captured in the grooves. So consider this a textbook for ensemble playing — which is exactly what Duane Allman and Dickey Betts did.
Junior Kimbrough's All Night Long (1992): The late Mississippi bluesman's debut for Fat Possum Records helped spark the '90s juke joint blues revolution. This disc is proof that even deeply traditional blues doesn't have to sound pat or be based in the Chicago, Texas or West Coast approaches to inspire and communicate. It just takes a little looking for blues guitar players to find fresh inspiration within their favored genre. And Kimbrough's snaky, swirling sound crosses the lines between blues, psychedelic rock and world music effortlessly
Richard Hell & the Voidoid's Blank Generation (1977): This punk rock pillar is an essay in how guitar tone and approach can shape the character of an album and its songs. Hell may be the lyricist and bandleader, but guitarist Robert Quine is his equal. Quine's abrupt, reverb-less sound, jagged bends and calculatedly raggedy runs bring the punk aesthetic to life. They are also a great example of how playing outside the box can lead a listener deeper into the music.
Hank Williams' The Best of Hank Williams (1990 compilation): Listen to the solos on tunes like "Cold, Cold Heart," "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Half As Much" — literally all of his smashes — and you'll grasp that melody and simplicity can equal or surpass Joe Satriani level chops when it comes to making a performance memorable. Hank said he liked his music in one flavor, plain vanilla, but the bottom line of his logic is that guitar solos that echo a song's vocal melody embed the tune's hooks deeper and preserve its beauty without distraction.
Brian's Eno's Music for Films (1978): This cornerstone of ambient music is ground zero for creating modern textural soundscapes and redefines musical form and movement. Eno also brings a heightened perspective to the concept of music's function and purpose. You've heard Eno's productions on classic albums by Roxy Music, David Bowie and U2, but patiently listening to Eno's own recordings — both his ambient and pop records — will increase the size of your musical brain. Guaranteed.
Pink Floyd's Ummagumma (1969): Half live album and half studio experiment, Ummagumma show has deeply an ensemble group can also explore the potential of the studio through blending independent ideas. In particular the track "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" displays the ability to create elaborate textures and wild sonics with just a few studio tricks — tape speed manipulation, deep reverb — and clever recording. This album, a wild beast of the psychedelic era, was made before the age of ProTools, when these accomplishments required elaborate editing and recording trickery. Today all this and more can be done quickly with plug-ins and other software, so there are no longer any artistic or logistical excuse for not exercising imagination in the studio.
