"Good Lord," replied Sam, "Are you who I think you are?"
I reminded myself that it had been a very long time since Sam last darkened the door of my chambers and that he had probably not been aware that I was transsexual and that I had changed my name since we last met.
"Who do you think I am?" I teased.
"Well you do remind me of a barrister I once instructed but - er - he, I mean she, I mean the barrister was different."
"Different in what way," I prompted.
"Well you've got more hair".
"And you've certainly got less" I replied. "Must be the cares of office since you got equity at Deweys."
"You knew about that?"
"Yes you told me. More than once in fact"
"Oh!" said Sam. And then he repeated himself.
"Well actually John ...."
"Jane" I corrected
"Well John I mean Jane, I happen to have a patent case."
"Oh really. Who's doing it for you?"
"Oh Nigel Smith as it happens. Do you know him."
"Oh yes" I replied. "You were instructing him when we last met. I seem to remember he got rather a buffeting from the V-C at Liverpool motion day." I know motion day is now called "chancery interim applications day" but that's rather a mouthful.
"Well I do support the local bar. Mr. I mean Ms. Lambert."
"You mean you've done the rounds of the patent sets and run up all the credit you can in Lincoln's Inn," I said to myself, sottissime voce.
'Picking brains' is solicitor speak for baksheesh advice. Often it is preceded with a tempting inducement like "I'm not yet in funds but just as soon as I am you'll be hearing from me." Sam knows me better than to try that one on. However, curiosity as to the sort of scrape into which Sam had landed himself got the better of me.
"Course you can, Sam" I replied with a smile. "Fire away."
"Well we're for the claimants and Nigel says we have a slam dunk case and I think so too. But the other side won't make an offer. In fact they say our patent is invalid. They warn us that they will counterclaim for revocation under s.72 (1) (d) of the Patents Act 1977 if we issue proceedings. Nigel says that there is nothing to worry about and that Fowl & Fowl are bluffing. And I am sure he is right but I thought it wouldn't hurt to get another opinion."
"Especially if you don't have to pay for it", I thought.
"OK. Well what do you want to ask me exactly."
"I think that they probably said was your specification did not disclose your invention clearly enough and completely enough for it to be performed by a person skilled in the art", I suggested.
"Yes, I think they did as it happens, John"....
"Jane" I interrupted
"How did you guess that?"
"Well I didn't actually but s.14 (3) of the Act requires the specification of a patent application to disclose the invention in a manner which is clear enough and complete enough for the invention to be performed by a person skilled in the art."
"Who is this artist person Jo.... Jane?"
Oh there's a lot of case law, Samuel, going back over at least a century and it would take me far too long to go through it with you but just think of him or her as someone in the relevant industry with the skills, knowledge and experience to make the invention from the specification."
"But he can't do that, can he? At least not for 20 years. The patent is supposed to be a monopoly of the invention, isn't it. A bit like a copyright only you don't have to prove copying." He implored.
"So long as the patent is valid and subsisting" I corrected. "It's a deal between the inventor and the public whereby the inventor discloses to the world how to make or use his or her invention and the public gives him or her a conditional monopoly in return".
"H-m-m-m" purred Sam. I could definitely hear wheels turning and gears grinding in his brain. "I never thought of it like that."
"But the conditions for patentability are pretty onerous, Sam. If you want to consider the terms, I wrote a sort of spoof about them in my blog on 6 December 2007 called "The Bargain the Public makes with Inventors".
"Anyway getting back to the point, s.14 (2) of the Act sets out the requirements for a patent application of which the most relevant for present purposes is s.14 (2) (b):
"Goodness! Do you carry all that in your head?"
"Doesn't Nigel?" I asked.
"No, but he's a very good advocate. He looks very good in court."
"As if that mattered nowadays," I thought to myself.
"Oh well, I suppose he could do the same sort of party trick with bits of the Insolvency Act or whatever has replaced the Rent Acts", I suggested. "Look, Sam, you really shouldn't monkey about with IP cases. If you don't want to0 come to me you should at least go to someone in the IP Bar Association."
"Just like I hear that you're telling your public access clients to go to firms that belong to the Intellectual Property Lawyers' Association."
"Or solicitors who have been trained in one of those firms or otherwise know what they are doing. I have referred clients to Kate Reid and James Love in Harrogate for instance or indeed to Michael Sandys of Liverpool on this Circuit." I continued.
"Anyway! Sam, we're straying again. The point is that a claim is supposed to:
"And that's a no-no?"
"Yes, that's a no, no, because the patent or monopoly is suppose to be an incentive for the disclosure of the invention. And that is why one of the grounds upon which the court or IP Office can revoke a patent is that
[2008] EWCA Civ 192 and Vector Corporation v Glatt Air Techniques Inc [2007] EWCA Civ 805 whcih set out the principles. Also, Robin Jacob's judgment in Corus UK Ltd v Qual-Chem Ltd [2008] EWCA Civ 1177 which was decided only last month ties everything together. I blogged it earlier this month (Patents: Corus UK Ltd. v Qual-Chem Ltd.).
"Oh, thanks very much, John"
"Jane" for goodness sake. Look, Sam, I'm wearing a skirt."
"Yes, I'm sorry but it takes a long time to get used to things that are new."
"You can say that again Sam" I sighed. "Anyway what did the other side object to?"
"Well one of the intricates."
"I think you mean, integers, Sam".
"Yes, that's right, whatever it is. Anyway the claim referred to a 'leg' as originally drafted and out patent agents advised us to change it to 'member' because the other side had something that was not quite a leg."
"Oh, and what did the specification actually teach?"
"Oh it wasn't an educational device. I think it was some kind of assembly."
"Sorry! I've confused you. What did the specification say? Did it talk about legs or members?"
"Legs" I think.
"Well I can see why you may have a problem I said but everything depends on how the patent is construed."
"Do we have a chance?"
"I dunno. Ask Nigel. After all you are paying him enough. I suggest next time you have an IP Case you make your peace with Ginger John and the other patent clerks and go to one of their governors. Or indeed you could come to one of us."
"You certainly see, to take a lot of holidays" I observed.
"Life work balance, you know, Mr Lambert. I'm sure I've told you this before. Very important when you have a family."
"I'm sure it is Sam."
We also discussed his next car purchase, whether it was to be a Lotus or Porsche.
"Not bad" she replied "I'll email you about it."
That email when it arrived was hilarious. To catch that email when you will need to register with IP Yorkshire. You will also need to register here to be sure of catching Sam's lesson in intellectual property law, one that he learned from Lucy and not from me.

Skuut Giveaway !
Skuut is an Eco-Friendly beginner wooden bike with no training wheels or pedals.
Who is it for ? The Skuut is designed for children ages 2- 5.
How does it work ?
Kids first walk the bike forward. As they go faster they stride with feet off the ground for longer and longer periods of time, ultimately being able to pull both feet off the ground and coast. At first they tilt to one side or the other and their feet catch them like training wheels . Very quickly balance becomes second nature and they can coast for yards with their feet off the ground.
The Goal : The goal is that they will be able to transition to a bike without ever using training wheels !
As a mom of boys that love to be outdoors that has bought more bikes than I can remember, I wish I would of had this Skuut for my older boys which are 9 & 13 now. I remember when I was trying to teach them how to ride their bikes without training wheels I would let go and keep saying petal...petal....petal. Of course I was terrified of them falling and hurting themselves. Now that we have the Skuut I hope that my 2 year old will go from the Skuut to a regular bike and skip the training wheel all together !
If you are looking for a bike for your little one or gift for that special child in your life, you can not go wrong with the Shuut !
Before you run out and buy one , Skuut is giving one of my readers a chance to win one of their own !

The Blue Pools is a popular snorkelling spot at Heron Island, but is also a wonderful place to dive. While snorkellers generally limited themselves to the sheltered cove in the reef, divers are free to explore the sloping coral reef and numerous gutters, ledges and caves. Going no deeper than 15 metres divers will find the Blue Pools alive with fish life, including anemonefish, triggerfish, sweetlips, snappers, butterflyfish and schools of hussars. This site also has pretty hard corals and is a good location to see whitetip reef sharks. Other species seen at Blue Pools include turtles, stingrays, mackerel and barracuda.

Humble hero Daniel Hernandez honored in new book
For a very large hunk of your life, your heroes came in a comic book.
For a very large hunk of your life, your heroes came in a comic book.
Spiderman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman arrived in living color between the pages of something you got at the grocery store. You were thrilled by their bravery. You loved to watch their crime-fighting skills. You wanted to be brave like them.
These days, though, you know it takes more than a cool costume to be a hero. So does Daniel Hernandez, but in his new book "They Call Me a Hero" (with Susan Goldman Rubin), he says there's nothing heroic about his actions.
The event on Jan. 8, 2011, was supposed to be fun and informative.
U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Gifford, who loved interacting with her constituents, had planned a meet-and-greet that Saturday afternoon in Tucson. Twenty-year-old Daniel Hernandez, an intern with Gifford's office, was there to help register attendees and to do light crowd control.
And everything was going well until he heard explosions and one word: "Gun!"
Almost automatically, Hernandez headed for the stage, with Gifford first on his mind. With barely a pause, he pressed his hand against her wound to slow the bleeding, an action that may have saved her life. He comforted her, and rode with her in the ambulance to the hospital.
Years before, as a child, Hernandez had wanted to be a doctor. He was a good student in school and was teased for his bookishness and for being gay. Undaunted, he stayed true to himself and sought classes and training for a future medical career.
He blames his "obsession" with politics on Hillary Clinton. He became fascinated by her run for the White House and volunteered to work for her campaign, a love that extended to his college years, the friends he sought and, later, to a desire to serve others in a political career that also allowed him to do motivational speaking.
On that January day in 2011, though, Hernandez was just an intern. His future, he hoped, would be spent serving others through volunteering.
But he was destined to become a hero first.
There are a lot of bumps in "They Call Me a Hero," starting with the subtitle ("A Memoir of My Youth").
Hernandez and Goldman Rubin don't include a whole lot about Hernandez's youth; instead, the vast majority of this memoir is about that one day in Tucson, the whirlwind of media attention afterward, and Hernandez's subsequent political activities.
There's also an awful lot of back-patting here.
To the good, however, this book may loudly urge teens to give of themselves to better their worlds. With an overwhelming record of achievements, Hernandez is a tornado of service to others, and he makes volunteerism seem fun, almost like a community in itself. That may spur young readers to mobilize.
Indeed, the intended audience for this book is 12- to 18-year-olds but there's certainly no reason adults can't read it. If you can look beyond the bumps and boasting in "They Call Me a Hero," you may find a hunk of inspiration, too.

In Internet time, it's already an old story, but worth repeating. Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida Tea Party guy, was asked in a GQ interview how old he believes the earth is. His reply:
I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States. I think the age of the universe has zero to do with how our economy is going to grow. I'm not a scientist. I don't think I'm qualified to answer a question like that. At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all. I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says. Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.
Survey says: Bzzt. There are many mysteries out there. The age of the earth is not one of them: the
radiocarbon radiometric dating is so clear that it cannot be doubted — unless you are a paleo-Christianist (and part of the GOP base).
The Shrill One was not pleased:
[H]ere's what you should realize: when Rubio says that the question of the Earth's age "has zero to do with how our economy is going to grow", he's dead wrong. For one thing, science and technology education has a lot to do with our future productivity — and how are you going to have effective science education if schools have to give equal time to the views of fundamentalist Christians?
More broadly, the attitude that discounts any amount of evidence — and boy, do we have lots of evidence on the age of the planet! — if it conflicts with prejudices is not an attitude consistent with effective policy. If you're going to ignore what geologists say if you don't like its implications, what are the chances that you'll take sensible advice on monetary and fiscal policy? After all, we've just seen how Republicans deal with research reports that undermine their faith in the magic of tax cuts: they try to suppress the reports.
But even Krugman does not go far enough, because the suppression of facts, a general trend that Ethan highlighted in the context of the election, has darker implications. Hannah Arendt has a reminder for us. Speaking of the famous Smolensk Archive, a cache of Stalin-era Soviet government documents captured by Nazi invaders, she observes a striking "lacuna" in them "concerning statistical data:"
[A]ll facts that did not agree, or were likely to disagree, with the official fiction — data on crop-yields, criminality, true incidences of 'counter-revolutionary' activities as distinguished from the later conspiracy fictions — were treated as non-facts. It was indeed quite in line with the totalitarian contempt for facts and reality that all such data, instead of being collected in Moscow from the four corners of the immense territory, were first made known to the respective localities through publication in Pravda, Izvestia, or some other official organ in Moscow, so that every region and every district of the Soviet Union received its official, fictitious statistical data in much the same way it received the no less fictitious norms allotted to them by the Five Year Plans. (Origins of Totalitarianism, 3rd ed. 1966, p. 367).
No — the current Republican Party is not totalitarian. But in this sense at least, it is following a totalitarian trope. It's one of several. Arendt also observes that totalitarianism is constantly changing its core beliefs, leaving its supporters with nothing else but to Follow The Leader. So too with Republicans. The Affordable Care Act was hatched in the Heritage Foundation. Cap-and-trade was also originally a conservative idea. Ronald Reagan was adamant in his resistance to torture, and also insisted that Social Security played no role in the deficit. Conservatives in good standing could believe all these things — until the Party told them that doing so was capitulating to socialism. Soviet regions and districts were told what to believe in Pravda and Izvestia: Movement Conservatives are told what to believe from Fox News and the Rush Limbaugh Show.
At some point, we are going to need a better theoretical analysis of the peculiar nature of what passes for modern thought within Movement Conservatism (as opposed to genuine conservatism, which is now mostly represented within the Democratic Party). It's not totalitarian — for example, the GOP has no charismatic leader that defines it, and (so far) has avoided paramilitary formations — but seems to grab a bunch of things from totalitarianianism, most obviously a world view that completely shuts out inconvenient facts. What would you call it? Totalism? Truman Show-ism? Wordsmiths better get on it. In the meantime, the rest of us need to think about how to make sure the public knows just how maniacal Movement Conservatism has become.

FRIDAY, Oct. 14 (HealthDay News) — For Diana Rowden, life changed in various ways when she was diagnosed with breast cancer 20 years ago.
During a routine gynecological exam when she was 38 years old, the doctor examining her breasts thought she felt something unusual.
"She didn't feel a lump," said Rowden, now 58 and living in Dallas. "She felt a thickening of the left breast. That was the first indication something might be wrong."
The doctor recommended that Rowden have a mammogram. She'd had a screening mammogram at age 35, so the technicians had a basis for comparison. "They could detect a change in the left breast," Rowden said. "From there, they recommended I have a biopsy."
Worry set in, she recalled.
"I had a friend who was diagnosed at age 36, so I was a little bit concerned," Rowden said. "But I wasn't freaked out. I just wanted to follow up and head off any problems."
This was back in the days before minimally invasive needle biopsies so Rowden had a surgical biopsy, during which they found no cancer but did find areas of abnormal cell growth that put her at high risk for developing breast cancer.
Rowden said she was given two courses of action: They could monitor her closely, performing quarterly breast examinations, or she could have a bilateral mastectomy to remove her left breast.
"I ended up opting for the surgery, based on a feeling that I needed to take care of it," she said. Her mother had died of uterine cancer four years earlier, and Rowden said she's certain that weighed in her decision.
Her instincts were more correct than she could have known.
During the surgery, doctors found a tumor in her left breast, in a different area than what had been biopsied.
"I was actually quite relieved," Rowden recalled of hearing the news that she did, in fact, have breast cancer. "I had basically felt like, well, at least I didn't have this surgery for nothing."
After the tumor was tested, Rowden said, an oncologist told her that she could have chemotherapy but it might not be of much use. "He said it wouldn't buy me much benefit because I had a particularly slow-growing tumor," she said. "He presented it as my choice. I decided not to have chemotherapy."
She has remained cancer-free. However, she explained, breast cancer altered the course of her life.
She had been a technical writer, working on software manuals that few people ever read. After her surgery, she became a breast cancer advocate and now works as the vice president of survivorship and outcomes for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a nonprofit group focused on combating breast cancer.
Among the most important advice she gives to women diagnosed with the disease, she said, is to slow down and take your time.
"It's not an emergency in terms of making a decision today," she said. "I think it's helpful to give people permission to do a little homework and think about the decisions they have to make."

As with most questions the answer is likely, it depends.
There is no fundamental reason why someone who is 62 or 82 could not do well at the study of law.
You may have less time to enjoy the fruits of your efforts, but that in and of itself is no reason not to move forward. In three to four years at the completion of law school you will be 65-66 years of age. Yet in three to four years your age will be the same even if you do not opt to go to law school.
I would give some consideration to the cost of law school, and ensure that either the expenditure or the cost of loans does not put an excessive crimp in your life plans. If you are comfortable with dealing with the cost and have the time to devote to the studies I would say that law school is indeed something that you may want to give some consideration to.

Thank you- that's the way I feel about it- But I am studying for LSAT in December but it seems difficult for family to seriously leave me some time. My mother lives with us, she is 88 and in great shape, plus 22 year old son just came home from college to change schools and find a job and an apartment. Then ofcourse there is hubby who has demanding sales job in Petroleum industry and travels some. I want to learn more of the law. The paralegal program just wet my interest. My degree is in economics with some graduate work in computer science. I want to practice Elder Law. What better person than an elder? But wanting and doing are far apart.
As far as the money goes if I make a decent score on LSAT I think that is covered. And as for the time left to practice well I love a good adventure. I really need to find a local study group inorder to help with motivation.

I understand your concern about finding time.
I am in my late 30s. I am working on finishing my Masters of Liberal Arts in Information Technology. I work a full time+ job (Information Security), at home I have a 18 month old daughter. Currently I am in information gathering mode regarding law school. I plan on waiting until after I graduate before I start spinning up (seriously) on LSAT prep.
I wish you the best of luck on both finding time for test prep and on the LSAT itself.

Is law school possible at 62: Yes. Is going to law school at 62 wise: No.
Here are a few reasons why law school is not for you:
Unless you're loaded or get a substantial scholarship, you'll have to deplete your retirement / other assets. I note that you plan on going the scholarship route... don't count on it. Kids are much smarter on average (more educated) than those in your generation. If you do manage to beat the LSAT curve and get a substantial scholarship, realize that scholarships are difficult to maintain at T3s and T4s;
Go do something that is more useful for society - you don't have much time left. Lawyers rarely see the fruits of their labor and in litigation, everyone tends to lose. Lawyers do not cure others, they do not produce products that benefit society, and only the best and most experienced attorneys get the opportunity to become agents for significant societal change;
No firm will hire you at your age - you're not profitable. It'll take you 3 years to complete law school and it will take you another 5 years to learn how to properly litigate (protip: Law school does NOT teach you how to be a lawyer). You will therefore have to go solo. It takes a long time to develop a client base by yourself. Are you willing to run yourself ragged trying to develop a client base, run your practice,
take a monetary hit for the first few years?;
Lack of Return on Investment.
Self explanatory, considering the above analysis.
Law school & Bar Exam will drain you physically and emotionally.
Do you want some young professor treating you like his b1tch? Are you ready to study more than you've ever studied before? Is your husband ready to play second fiddle to your studies? Do you feel like taking the bar exam at ~66?
At your age, you cannot reasonably expect to have a profitable career in the law. The only benefits you will get from law school are self gratification and the ability to analyze problems in a logical manner. Is the intrinsic value of a law school education worth it to you?

It seems odd to me that Hamilton and john4040 seem to have constructed a norse ship that you can set Roomdo into and set fire to it. Perhaps the heat from the fire can cut down on the amount of snow that we get here in the DC area next year.
As for kids being much smarter, do not count on it. Standardized test scores have been dropping for generations, I spend my days trying to educate the idiots you are coming out of 'good' schools with CS and IT degrees who somehow still do not have basic usable skills. The kids have grown up in a world where everyone gets a trophy and are amazed that somethings actually require work, as such, it would be truly foolhardy to rule someone out because they did not come through the same happy little world that you have.
There is no harm in applying to schools that you are interested and inquiring about what what type of aide you may be to receive. Some aide may be contingent upon performance, but I suspect that you will be somewhat less likely to act like a stupid kid in law school, which will give you a fighting chance to keep your aide rolling in during later years.
While it is true that you will likely not be picked up by a traditional law firm. Although I would hope that at your age you are likely not going to need extra help in learning how to wipe your nose and wash your hands after you use the bathroom. Lawyers traditionally think very highly of themselves even when there is little evidence to support these beliefs.
The area of law that Roomdo made reference to is not one that gets a great deal of attention by law firms. Instead it is dealt with primarily in governmental and non-profit organizations. As a general rule of thumb neither of these categories pay particularly well. But there is a very good chance that you will not be dealing with the cost of setting up a household or paying for children, and it sounds as if there is another good (perhaps very good) income in the family. I would say that you may well be in better shape then most.
Maybe some would rather that you spend your final days baking cookies for your neighbors while they finish the norse death boat. Yes, being a lawyer can be difficult, but if you want to work on matters related to Elder law, being a lawyer will put you in a better position then even a really nice cooking apron. I have no idea if you will be pursuing litigation, advocacy, mediation, or something else all together, maybe you do not even know as of yet. The only thing that matters is what you want to do.
Happy Hunting,

People like me, with "real life" experience, can bring something to the legal profession that others do not and cannot. People often trust mature lawyers more giving them a massive competitive advantage over the kids that came straight through school and university to the law with no idea of how a business is run. As a mature entry lawyer, I expect some difficulty in finding a law firm that is a good fit for my expectations and experiences. But within two years, I also expect to open my own law firm leveraging my other experience both legally and in terms of how I help my clients.
In all my years through school and graduate school and then as a professional in business ( city government, banking, real estate, commercial insurance, retail sales, energy industry ) I have NEVER been treated like someones b1tch nor do I ever expect to be. I wonder if you would have replied as glibly to my question if I had been a male.

Marci came and gave workshops to our guild. One of the things she had for sale were instruction cards for various things. I bought the one for paper piecing. She figured out how to simplify the process and make it so the piece you sew on *always* fit.
I just did 16 of these heart blocks and didn't have a single problem with paper piecing!! No crazy angles to try and figure out, no problems with sewing something on and having to rip it off because it didn't cover the area. It was totally worth the 4 bucks for the card!
Here's 12 of them on the design wall.

New Montecristos Lead the Way at Habanos Festival
If the annual Habanos Festival is a launching pad for Cuba's newest cigars, the star rockets of the most recent event were a pair of new Montecristos. The über large Montecristo Double Edmundo and the short and sharp Montecristo Petit No. 2 were the most talked about cigars in a week of heavy smoking.
The festival drew a crowd of 1,500 from 70 countries to Havana. It began on February 26 and concluded on March 2 with a gala dinner and concert that featured an age-defying performance by Omara Portuondo, a Cuban singer and dancer who has been entertaining crowds for more than 50 years. The 83-year-old was the headlining act for the final evening, performing with Maestro Patterson's orchestra and Maestro Santiago Alfonso's dance troupe. Portuondo seemed to gather increasing energy throughout the night, singing on stage and moving through the crowd of 1,200 with a vibrant smile.
Tennis star Boris Becker, who toured Cuba's El Laguito factory earlier in the week (and later said he would be a Cohiba Behike smoker from that point on), took the stage to help present one of the Habanos Man of the Year awards. American actor Danny Glover was honored by Habanos with a special award for his efforts speaking on behalf of the Cuban Five, a group of Cuban nationals imprisoned by the U.S. government.
"I made a commitment to make sure those men receive justice and come home to their beloved Cuba. I am accepting this award on behalf of those five courageous men," said Glover. He went on to speak about the gathered crowd. "They all come here to celebrate the cigar that you make, and they also come here to celebrate you."
The dinner was dedicated to Partagás cigars, and the large room was emblazoned with the distinctive red and black of the iconic brand, which was created in 1845. Beautiful waitresses bearing trays of Partagás cigars—beginning with Serie D No. 5s, concluding with a new Lusitania Gran Reserva—appeared between each course of food, ensuring a cigar was in hand for the entire event.The Gran Reserva was the final new cigar introduced at themed dinners spaced throughout the week. This is an annual tradition at the festival, which attracts Cuban cigar retailers, distributors, members of the press and simply those who love Havana cigars. The smokes are previewed to the crowd, and typically go on sale much later in the year, usually around the fall.
The Montecristos were launched at an outdoor party held at Morro Castle, a 400-year-old stone fortress guarding the entrance to Havana bay. The massive cannons at Morro Castle haven't been fired in anger in decades, but they made a dramatic setting for the launch of the cigars. The Petit No. 2 is the first addition to the core Montecristo line (known as the Línea Clásica) in many years and is a shorter version of the cigar world's favorite torpedo, the Montecristo No. 2. Measuring a tidy 4 3/4 inches by 52 ring gauge, these short cigars will come in boxes of 25, boxes of 10 and in three-packs. A test smoke of the cigar proved exceptionally pleasant, with coffee bean notes, a bit of sweetness and lots of leather in the nose.
As Montecristo went shorter with the Petit No. 2, it went longer with the Double Edmundo. The Edmundo line from Montecristo has been extremely well received by cigar lovers—Habanos reported that Montecristo Edmundos and Petit Edmundos, combined with the Montecristo Open brand, account for 40 percent of all Montecristo cigar sales. Building on consumer demand for all things Edmundo, the Double Edmundo, measuring 6 1/8 inches by 50 ring gauge, was added to the portfolio. The vitola is known as a doble in Cuban cigar factories.
Both new Montes, which feature redesigned cigar bands with a golden fleur-de-lis, were largely praised by those in attendance. There was less fanfare for the relaunch of Vegueros. Vegueros cigars were made for several years outside of Havana, in the tobacco town of Pinar del Río. The Cubans discontinued the brand, but brought it back with a milder blend, shorter sizes, lower prices and vibrant packaging.
The cigars we smoked didn't have tremendous character or depth, but were most impressive in the largest vitola, the Entretiempos (4 3/8 inches by 52). The other sizes are Tapados (4 3/4 inches by 46) and Mañanitas (a short torpedo measuring 4 3/8 inches by 46). Habanos plans to make Vegueros among the least expensive cigars in its portfolio.
The big cigar of the Festival was the Partagás Lusitania Gran Reserva Cosecha 2007, showcased at the gala dinner. Blended by Arnaldo Bichot, the cigar combines ligero from Cuba's famed San Juan region and seco from San Luis. It will be limited to 5,000 numbered boxes of 15 cigars. While most were generally pleased with the smoke, Cuban cigar veterans found that it just didn't remind them of a Lusitania, which is typically among Cuba's more powerful and flavor-forward big cigars. It could be quite some time before you see the Partagás Gran Reserva on sale—last year's big release, the Romeo y Julieta Reserva, was just making its way to shops as this issue went to press.
Cuba also gave a sneak peek at the 2013 Edición Limitada cigars, a trio of considerably fat, considerably dark smokes that will come out late this year. The Romeo y Julieta Romeo de Luxe Edición Limitada 2013 measures 6 3/8 inches long by 52 ring gauge, and will come in boxes of 10. The Punch Serie d'Oro No. 2 Edición Limitada 2013—the first time Punch has been made into a Limitada—is a 5 1/2 by 52 cigar identical in dimension to a Bolivar Belicoso Fino. The Hoyo de Monterrey Grand Epicure is the fattest and shortest of the EL trio. The cigar, measuring 5 1/8 inches long by 55 ring, and comes in boxes of 25, was given out at the conclusion of the Vegueros dinner. While young, it showed complexity and promise.
The Habanos Festival always has a charity angle, and the penultimate act of the final event was an auction of six immense humidors stocked to the gills with Cuban cigars of all sizes and shapes that raised 890,000 euros (more than $1.1 million) for the Cuban healthcare system. The humidors ranged in style from the traditional, such as a humidor made from cedar and Cuban mahogany in the shape of the original H. Upmann factory, to the avant garde, like a spiral and triangular illuminated humidor with a metallic base created by the Humidif Group for the Montecristo brand.
As each of the auctioned humidors sell for amounts placing them out of reach for most who attend the Festival (no humidor went for less than 100,000 euros, or $130,000), Habanos tried something new this time, adding a seventh humidor that was available via raffle. But because hundreds of the tickets failed to sell, the Cubans put the unsold tickets up for auction, and the winner then donated the humidor back to the auction block, so it ultimately ended up being auctioned as with any other piece. Combined with the ticket sales, the final humidor added another 77,000 euros to the results, pushing the total auction results to 967,000 euro, or nearly $1.3 million.

Commander is third official arrested in international bribery scheme.
Federal prosecutors have charged a Navy commander with accepting prostitutes, luxury travel and $100,000 from a Singaporean defense contractor in exchange for classified information, according to the Justice Department.
Jose Luis Sanchez was arrested Tuesday and is the third Navy official charged with taking bribes from the contractor. Cmdr. Michael Vannak Khem Misiewicz and Naval Criminal Investigative Service Supervisory Special Agent John Bertrand Beliveau II were charged separately.
Sanchez allegedly provided information that benefited Glenn Defense Marine Asia, a longtime contractor that supplies goods and services to ships and submarines in foreign ports. Court documents unveiled Wednesday accuse Sanchez of selling ship schedules and information that helped GDMA "win and maintain Navy business."
"As described in the corruption charges unsealed today, senior officials with the United States Navy abused their trusted positions as leaders in our armed forces by peddling favorable treatment -- and even classified government information -- for their personal benefit," acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman said in a statement. "According to the allegations in this case, a number of officials were willing to sacrifice their integrity and millions of taxpayer dollars for personal gratification."
In one example, Sanchez arranged for the USS Martin to buy fuel from GDMA rather than using "sea cards," which take advantage of rates pre-negotiated by the Defense Logistics Agency. As a result, officials paid more than double the amount they should have for USS Martin fuel.
Sanchez reportedly communicated with Leonard Glenn Francis, GDMA's CEO who was arrested in September, via email and Facebook messages. The Navy commander referred to himself and his friends as the "Wolf Pack," and consistently asked Francis to arrange hotel rooms and escorts. Sanchez often called Francis the "Lion King" and asked him for photos of the prostitutes for "motivation." Sanchez allegedly responded to the pictures by telling Francis, "Yummy…daddy like."
In return, Francis is said to have written to the prostitute, telling her, "Hey Love Jose is in Manila at the DIAMOND Hotel go and see him he needs some love asap."
The investigation is ongoing and is being conducted NCIS, the Defense Criminal Investigative Serve, the Defense Contract Audit Agency and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
"Day by day, this massive Navy fraud and bribery investigation continues to widen," Raman said, "and as the charges announced today show, we will follow the evidence wherever it takes us."

Fed's Surprise Powers Market Surge
DJIA Rises 147.21, Bonds, Gold Jump as 'Taper' Comes Off Table, for Now
Stocks soared to new highs Wednesday after investors embarked on a broad buying spree, propelled by a surprise decision by the Federal Reserve to keep its bond-purchase stimulus plan intact.
U.S. Treasury bonds posted the biggest one-day price rally since November 2011, with the benchmark 10-year yield closing at 2.706%. Prices in the mortgage-backed securities market, where the Fed has been buying bonds, leapt even more.
Many commodities also gained, with gold futures jumping 4.5% in late trading, while the dollar sank against the yen and euro, reflecting reduced investor expectations for U.S. interest-rate increases.
"The first thought that came to mind was, 'Where's the taper?'" said Thomas Urano, a fixed-income portfolio manager at Sage Advisory. "Treasurys jumped, and I realized that's why I didn't see it. There wasn't one."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 147.21 points, or 0.9%, to 15676.94, an all-time closing high. The S&P 500 index rose 20.76 points, or 1.2%, to a new record of 1725.52. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 37.94 points, or 1%, to 3783.64.
With Wednesday's rally, the S&P is up 21% so far in 2013.
The gains added to a strong advance in September, and came even as Wall Street wrestled with new questions about the strength of the U.S. recovery. The Federal Reserve cut its U.S. growth forecasts for 2013 and 2014.
More on Market Reactions
Among the best performers in Wednesday's advance were utilities and housing stocks, areas that benefit from continued low interest rates. Also gaining were overseas issues, particularly in Latin America, and the shares of companies dealing in raw materials.
"It's a big shock, and it's a massive green light for a risk-on party," said Benoit Anne, global head of emerging-market strategy at Société Générale.
For months, many investors had been looking to this week's meeting of the Fed's policy-making committee as a likely turning point in the Fed's easy-money policies, which have played a major role in keeping interest rates low and fueling the stock market's rally. Most investors had been expecting the Fed to pull back on its monthly bond purchases–currently $85 billion–by between $10 billion and $15 billion.
But Fed officials said they wanted more evidence of sustained improvement before making any moves.
"I'm surprised they didn't start to reduce bond purchases by a small amount," said Kate Warne, investment strategist with Edward Jones. "We figured they'd take a baby step rather than nothing at all."
Still, investors noted the decision by the Fed to maintain its so-called quantitative easing efforts only postpones the inevitable pullback by the central bank. The Fed's next policy-making meeting is scheduled for the end of next month, and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said at his press conference Wednesday that a paring of stimulus could take place this year.
"Now we're back to this, where every [economic] report we're going to have to parse to see what the Fed thinks," said Marc Doss, San Diego-based regional chief investment officer with Wells Fargo Private Bank.
For now, however, investors said the Fed's decision gives stocks the green light to push still further into record-high territory.
"You've got a trend that's up and a Fed that's in your corner, and you don't want to fight the Fed," said Rob Glownia, quantitative analyst at RiverFront Investment Group LLC, in Richmond, Va.
A.C. Morgan, managing director in equities trading at UBS AG , said he saw buying by a diverse set of investors after the statement, and noted several of the big-picture issues that have troubled investors of late have fallen by the wayside.
"Syria, that's gone. Who's going to replace Bernanke? That's gone," he said. "And what's tapering going to look like? We don't have to worry about that right now."
In the bond market, Wednesday's rally extended the benchmark 10-year note's winning streak into a sixth consecutive session. The buying sent the yield to the lowest level in more than a month. Bond prices rise when their yields fall.
The benchmark 10-year note yield fell to as low as 2.671% during the afternoon trade, the lowest level since Aug. 13.
Traders and investors that placed bearish bets on bond prices have scrambled to cover their sour bets after Lawrence Summers's announcement over the weekend that he was withdrawing from consideration to succeed Mr. Bernanke. Wednesday's Fed statement prompted such bets to unwind further, traders said. By covering short bets, these market participants buy back bonds, boosting bond prices and sending yields lower.
"The market was caught off guard" with the Fed's decision to stand pat, said Sean Simko, head of fixed income portfolio management at SEI Investments . "At this point the 10-year yield should be capped at 3%."

Why it is relevant for ...
[ Academia ] [ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Legal Profession : Students planning to work in the private sector, but interested in continuing their commitment to public interest while there, should consider taking this seminar to learn how pro bono practice is integrated into firms and to explore common issues that arise when attorneys serve the public interest pro bono.
General course Description:
This seminar focuses on the public service obligation of the legal profession, and how that obligation is carried out in law firms and other legal institutions, such as corporate counsel departments, law schools, legal media, bar associations and non-profit legal services organizations. While the seminar is open to any student interested in issues concerning the legal profession and professional responsibility, it is of particular interest to 2Ls and 3Ls who plan to work at major firms after graduation and who are committed to undertaking public interest service while at the firm. The course first examines the structure and economics of the modern large law firm through a review of the literature, class discussion, and presentations by managing partners at major firms. The seminar also focuses on the nature of the lawyer's public interest obligations and how that obligation impacts major legal employers. Through role-playing, the course also examines ethical and other issues presented by pro bono practice at large law firms. Based on the knowledge gained from class discussions and readings, each student will develop a pro bono business plan designed either to increase the amount of pro bono service undertaken at his or her future firm or to gain support for and implement a new pro bono project at the firm.
Course Style: A Substantive course teaches the law, theory, and policy in a particular area of law

Providenciales, or Provo as the slow-talking, slow-walking locals call it, is lined on the north shore with resort hotels. The action and relaxation is built around Grace Bay Beach's 12-mile long stretch of snow white sands and a long coral reef pulsing with a colorful kaleidoscope of aquatic life. But no need to be packed in like sardines in large commercial north shore hotel complexes when you can opt for a vacation rental apartment, condo, house, or villa and perhaps even save a few dollars. Or splurge for more solitude near south shore bays, cays, and lakes.
Take a break from sun-bathing on Grace Bay's snow white beaches. Snorkel the coral reef near White House Beach shoreline, and be dazzled by angelfish, parrotfish, and other colorful splashes of aquatic color. Treat the family to a personalized boat or kayak trip to harvest and eat conch, and watch iguanas bask in the sun on Iguana Island. Then relax at your vacation rental, and save money with a relaxing meal from your kitchen.
Wade into bonefishing flats just outside your vacation rental on Providenciales' south side. Fly-fish for silent grey ghost-like bonefish on Flamingo Lake. Indulge in Thoreau-like contemplation among the islets in the turquoise waters of Chalk Sound National Park. Hike the scrub and prickly pear cactus-covered hillside at the eastern edge of Sapodilla Bay for panoramic views of the island and Chalk Sound. The whole family will enjoy the names and dates of presumably shipwrecked sailors carved into the hillside stones. Explore plantation house ruins like Cheshire Hall and Richmond Hill where slaves once tended cotton and sisal. Watch for containerships at South Dock, the island's commercial port.
After saving money by eating breakfast in your vacation rental kitchen, treat the family to a custom boat tour. Visit the old pirate hideway at French Cay, now a popular scuba site and sanctuary for frigates, osprey, and nesting seabirds. Little Water Cay in Princess Alexandra National Park is an endangered rock iguana sanctuary. Wrangle an invitation to private Pine Cay, where celebrities maintain hideaway homes. Snorkel or dive around cannons and remnants of a 1795 British Fort at Fort George Cay.
Munch conch fritters at Da Conch Shack, a beachside fast food hangout. Drop the family at the conch farm. Then tee off nearby for 18 championship holes at 6,771-yard Provo Golf Club, a green oasis on this desert scrub island. Take a break from vacation rental relaxation for deep-sea fishing, perhaps also catching sight of migrating humpback whales. Nearby deep waters are home to marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, and barracuda. June is the blue marlin fishing tournament.

Top Five Ways to Get Involved in ACRL as a Library Student
1. Create an ACRL student chapter. If your library school doesn't already have one, you can start one! The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign set up the first student chapter [1] in 2004. By organizing an ACRL chapter, you can arrange for guest speakers to address pertinent issues, promoting discussion and networking opportunities. You'll also get the opportunity to showcase your leadership skills.
2. Join the national organization. [ACRL has something for everyone. There are currently seventeen sections of ACRL, each offering unique opportunities. Once you join a section, you'll start receiving communication from them including newsletters and announcements. By familiarizing yourself with the goals and current activities of each section, you can be better informed about the direction of your career. Also, each section hosts events and meetings during both Midwinter and Annual conference.
3. Attend conferences. Conference attendance can be rewarding for your professional development as well as your social life. Meet other library school students, as well as new librarians. Conferences sponsor a wide range of activities including committee meetings, presentations, discussion groups and social events. Unless a meeting says that it is closed, feel free to attend. Introduce yourself to the chair and others in attendance. Networking can also provide the opportunity to ask the questions that weren't answered in library school.
3. Make it local. In addition to the national organization, there are 42 state ACRL chapters. By getting involved locally, you can meet librarians in your region in an environment where you can be more visible. Watch for calls for proposals, this is a great chance for you to try out your new ideas and presentation skills.
4. Go virtual. Join the discussion by reading ACRLog, a blog the often addresses issues pertinent and pressing in academia. By reading what others in the profession are saying, you'll steep yourself in the issues, informing your professional development. And don't be shy! When you're ready, share your comments. Experienced librarians are always asking what's on the mind of new graduates. Second, many of the sections have listservs. The Instruction Section ILI-L has a particularly active one.
5. Step up! There are committees who look for interns on committees, volunteer your time. This may mean taking the minutes, but it gets you noticed as someone who's willing to step up and get the job done. By investing in the work that's being done, you'll foster relationships as well as be provided with opportunities for mentoring.
What are the benefits of getting involved in ACRL? Professional development is essential in the academic arena. Showing your enthusiasm early, while you are still in library school, is sure to get you noticed. By looking for ways to contribute to the profession you are learning to walk the walk and talk the talk. You never know who will be on your future search committee for that perfect job. ACRL provides opportunities for members to grow as academic librarians, find your niche!
ACRL New Members Discussion Group Q. What is the ACRL New Member Discussion Group? A: The ACRL New Member Discussion group is for new (and aspiring) academic librarians. We meet twice a year--at both ALA conferences--to chat about whatever is on our minds. It's an opportunity for networking and a friendly place to ask any questions you have about succeeding in ACRL. Both new and experienced ACRL members are encouraged to come and participate. Q. Why a discussion group? A. The idea is to provide an informal setting where newbie librarians can pick the brains of more seasoned ACRL members and get the dirt on how everything really works. A discussion group seemed like the logical forum for that. Instead of listening to a presentation or lecture, the new members could get their questions about ACRL (or related topics) answered. Q. What do we do at ALA Annual and Midwinter? A. THE ACRL NMDG meets regularly at ALA Annual and Midwinter. Future discussion topics are up to the members. Q. What is a round table discussion? A. Round table discussions are an opportunity to meet in small groups to discuss timely issues at the conference. Each round table discussion is sponsored by an ALA division or section. This one is sponsored by the ACRL New Members Discussion Group. Q. What does it cost to join? A. Nothing! The New Member Discussion Group is free. Look for us in the program at Annual and Midwinter. Q. What is our relationship with NMRT? A. We are not sponsored by the New Members Roundtable of ALA. You do not have to be a member of NMRT to join our discussions at conferences (although many of us do belong to NMRT). If you would like to join NMRT.... http://www.ala.org/nmrt/popularresources/getinvolved/joinnmrt
Past discussions: Annual 2007 Topic: Guest discussion leaders Brian Mathews (Georgia Tech) and Crit Stuart (ARL) discussed the theme, "Too Shy or Too Shameless?: Finding a Balance in Personal PR." Discussion centered around the ins and outs of career advancement and how to take advantage of personal opportunities.
Midwinter 2007 Topic: The new librarian: a discussion of the latest job titles and changing responsibilities for academic librarians. What skills do you need to succeed in an evolving workplace? Academic librarians in newly-created positions with unique responsibilities shared their experiences. We also addressed some basic questions about conference attendance issue for new members.
Do you have a suggestion for a discussion topic? We'd love to hear from you! After all, it's your group. Contact Merinda Hensley (Convener, 2007-2008) email@example.com.

Nicole Hess named head volleyball coach at CSB
Nicole Hess played four years of collegiate volleyball at St. Olaf, was the head volleyball coach at St. Catherine for six years, and now takes over the head coaching position for the College of Saint Benedict volleyball team. Hess replaces Michelle Blaeser, who coached the Blazers for 10 seasons before taking the head coaching position at St. Cloud State University in late February. "I'm extremely excited," said Hess. "I'm really looking forward to the professional opportunity that's been presented to me. This is a great fit."
"This is an established program with a lot of history," Hess said. "There are things I feel I can bring that will make a difference, and there are things that I want to maintain. They've been successful in the past and they've done things the right way. I want to put my own stamp on the team. But I also want to continue the tradition that's been built."
Hess and current Blazers assistant coach Amanda Anderson, who has been running the program since Blaeser's departure, were the two finalists for the job. St. Benedict athletic director Carol Howe-Veenstra said it was a difficult choice, but in the end the school decided on Hess. She mentioned that it was clear that the seven years Hess spent as St. Catherine's head coach really provided her with a great teaching background. "She had the ability to step forward and really communicate what her plans for our program were," Howe-Veenstra commented.
Though Anderson is unsure of her plans, Hess said she would love to have her remain a part of the Blazers' coaching staff. "I wholeheartedly hope Amanda will continue as a coach with Blazers volleyball," Hess said. "I've seen her recruiting and she's intense, focused and successful. I'd love to have her remain a part of this program."
St. Benedict junior right-side hitter Kayli Schumacher said she and her teammates were impressed with Hess during the interview process. "She knows the type of volleyball we play in this conference," Schumacher said. "Having coached against us in past years, she knows a lot about our program and the kind of volleyball we want to play."

Feb. 25, 2007
The Gaucho women's cross-country team has been honored as a Division I All-Academic team for the 2006 season as announced by the United States Track and Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on February 22. Junior team captain Megan Lewis garnered individual honors being named to the NCAA Division I All-Academic Cross Country Team.
The women's team, the 2006 Big West champions, earned a cumulative grade-point average of 3.350. Long Beach state was the lone other women's team from the Big West on the list. UCSB was given the honor of All-Academic Cross Country Team, with Distinction.
To achieve the designation of an "All-Academic Cross Country Team, with Distinction," an institution's team must compete in an NCAA regional meet and must have a minimum cumulative team GPA of 3.25 though the 2006 fall term.
Lewis carried a GPA of 3.82 and was named to the all-region team while a leader on a UCSB team that was nationally-ranked much of the season. To earn All-Academic individual honors, runners were required to have at least a cumulative GPA of 3.25 and also place in the top 15 or top 10 percent of an NCAA regional meet.

View from the Borderland: A call for alternative energy in Brandon's suburbs
Economists and peace activists have long pointed out that the true cost of oil-based energy is not adequately accounted for or paid by us consumers: the pollution it generates, the treatment for diseases it necessitates, the environmental damage that needs to be ameliorated, and the military presence we provide in order to ensure our oil supplies all have costs that are not on our utility bills. Forcing oil, coal and nuclear energy providers to internalize the costs had proven almost impossible due to their strong lobbyist presence in Washington, D.C. and in state capitols. Raising taxes on consumers so that government has the means to deal with the problems these energy sources provide is also a political non-starter. As a nation, our best hope to move toward renewable energy continues to be the efforts of individuals, which befits a country built on so much personal initiative and entrepreneurship.Addison County is brimming with innovators, from ACORN Energy Co-op which buys wood pellets in bulk for its members and offers member discounts on solar hot-water heating systems, to the 350.org nation-wide lobbying and consciousness-raising group with its roots in Middlebury. There is a no-idling ordinance in Middlebury, and Jeremiah Parker's Green Woods Village, a group of energy efficient homes clustered near downtown Shoreham. In 2002, the entire town of Middlebury conducted an energy audit and created two campaigns to reduce its carbon footprint, both as a municipality and by individual homeowners and drivers. Middlebury was just awarded a Button-Up Middlebury grant from the state that is actually countywide as a result of these efforts. Laura Asermily and Elizabeth Golden have been instrumental in these local efforts, working hand-in-hand with Efficiency Vermont and the Vermont State Way to Go campaign on alternative modes of transportation. All of these efforts, combined with Middlebury College's biomass energy plant and goal to be carbon neutral put Addison County on the cutting edge, not just in Vermont but nationally.Here in Brandon, on the other hand, we are struggling in the very beginning stages of energy consumption awareness and individual carbon footprint reduction. Given the comparative economic situation in Brandon, this is not surprising: Many individuals here do not have the capital to invest in conservation measures in their homes. Brandon's median per capita income in the 2000 census was almost $2,500 less than Middlebury's; the average value of a home was $35,800 less. For many residents, winterizing means putting blue board around the foundation, or even more inexpensively, bagging up fall leaves for the same purpose. Screens and windows are covered with plastic sheeting because residents cannot afford to replace their windows; tarps are put over roofs. Our local elementary school has done an excellent job retrofitting for efficiency, but both the town government and individual citizens are much more conflicted about moving toward alternative energy. In the Town Plan meetings I attended, there was tremendous concern about people building tall windmills, and now a family in the Mt. Pleasant development is facing stiff resistance from their neighbors about installing one 8-panel solar electricity generator on their property. It is this last controversy that I, a born-and-bred New Jersey girl who moved to Vermont 13 years ago, find the most puzzling. The Mt. Pleasant development was built when the owners of the farm agreed to sell it, but with covenants built into the deeds. Most of these were designed, it seems, to keep out poorer residents: Only single-family homes were allowed, and no clothes lines were to be visible from the road. The large building lots also guaranteed that only those who could afford more in property taxes would be living "on the hill." But there are also parts of the covenant designed to "preserve the rural character" of the development, and this is where I am most bemused. All utility lines were buried underground, and no power lines for "the transmission of power" were to be allowed. The neighbors in opposition to the installation of the solar panel feel that it would violate this last part of the covenant and destroy the rural character of the entire Mt. Pleasant development. But as I walk (or drive — there are no sidewalks to encourage walking or promote bike riding, and many of the roads there are unpaved) past one ranch house after another through a relatively treeless landscape with immaculately groomed lawns, the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood looks like it could be any recently developed area in my home state. There's nothing rural about it: It's suburban, covenants and all. Of all places in Brandon, Mt. Pleasant seems the most logical to use alternative energy. The houses are newer, the lots generally bigger and treeless, with better elevation to catch both solar and wind power. Moreover, residents' incomes are probably on average higher, so they would be most likely to have the money to invest in alternative energy technology. Between that and the Vermont ethic of self-sufficiency, not to mention generally minding one's own business, I was surprised that neighbors opposed the project at all, let alone allowed talk to stray into the area of "legal action." More surprising still was the fear that allowing one household to install a solar panel would reduce property values for all the other houses in the area, particularly the houses a person would have to get to by driving past this lot. With all of the individual initiative and capital being expended on alternative energy and conservation just north of us in Addison County, it seems to me that newcomers to Brandon would pay more to have an energy-efficient house in the future, and that setting a model for an appropriate way to capture solar and wind power in the Mt. Pleasant suburb of Brandon would actually increase home values down the road as new residents would want be able to install this technology.Maybe as a former urbanite, I am more accustomed to people expressing their individuality by the way they paint their homes, the sculpture on their lawns, their landscaping. And as a refugee from the suburbs, I am more put off by those aspects of suburban living that divide people rather than bring them together. In this case, I see that fear is forcing people to look backward, not forward, and that, as it so often does, fear is driving people apart rather than creating an environment of mutual tolerance and acceptance. And fear is so much of what creates suburbs in the first place — in New Jersey, and here in Brandon.<i>Rebecca Reimers is a native of the New York City suburb of Teaneck, N.J., and a refugee of Westchester, N.Y. She has been living in Vermont for more than 13 years, in New Haven, Burlington, Middlebury and now in Brandon. She is a retired high school social studies teacher raising her three young sons with her husband, a native of the Boston area. Her thoughts on her community, and the surrounding towns of Leicester, Goshen and Forestdale, appear in "View from the Borderland," an online feature at the Addison Independent Web site.</i>

The Zend Framework community is pleased to announce the immediate availability
of Zend Framework 2.0.0beta1. Packages and installation instructions are
available at:
This is the first in a series of planned beta releases. The beta release
cycle will follow the "gmail" style of betas, whereby new features will
be added in each new release, and BC will not be guaranteed; beta
releases will happen no less than every six weeks. The desire is for
developers to adopt and work with new components as they are shipped, and
provide feedback so we can polish the distribution.
Once all code in the proposed standard distribution
has reached maturity and reasonable stability, we will freeze the API and
prepare for Release Candidate status.
Featured components and functionality of 2.0.0beta1 include:
New and refactored autoloaders:
- Zend\Loader\StandardAutoloader
- Zend\Loader\ClassMapAutoloader
- Zend\Loader\AutoloaderFactory
New plugin broker strategy
- Zend\Loader\Broker and Zend\Loader\PluginBroker
Reworked Exception system
- Allow catching by specific Exception type
- Allow catching by component Exception type
- Allow catching by SPL Exception type
- Allow catching by base Exception type
- Rewritten Session component
Refactored View component
- Split helpers into a PluginBroker
- Split variables into a Variables container
- Split script paths into a TemplateResolver
- Renamed base View class "PhpRenderer"
- Refactored helpers to utilize __invoke() when possible
- Refactored HTTP component
- New Zend\Cloud\Infrastructure component
- New EventManager component
- New Dependency Injection (Zend\Di) component
New Code component
Incorporates refactored versions of former Reflection and
CodeGenerator components.
- Introduces Scanner component.
- Introduces annotation system.
- Incorporates refactored versions of former Reflection and
The above components provide a solid foundation for Zend Framework 2, and
largely make up the framework "core". However, the cornerstone feature of beta1
is what they enable: the new MVC layer:
- Zend\Module, for developing modular application architectures.
Zend\Mvc, a completely reworked MVC layer built on top of HTTP,
EventManager, and Di.
We've built a skeleton application and a skeleton module to help get you started, as well as a quick start guide to the MVC; the new MVC is truly flexible, and moreover, simple and
Additionally, for those who haven't clicked on the packages link above, we are
debuting our new distribution mechanisms for ZF2: the ability to use
Pyrus to install individual components and/or groups of
Since mid-August, we've gone from a few dozen pull requests on the
ZF2 git repository to over 500,
originating from both long-time Zend Framework contributors as well as those
brand-new to the project. I'd like to thank each and every one of them, but also
call out several individuals who have made some outstanding and important
contributions during that time frame:
Evan Coury, who prototyped and then implemented the new
module system.
Rob Allen, who, because he was doing a tutorial at
PHPNW on ZF2, provided a lot of early
feedback, ideas, and advice on the direction of the MVC.
Ben Scholzen, who wrote a new router system, in
spite of a massive injury from a cycling accident.
Ralph Schindler, who has had to put up with my
daily "devil's advocate" and "think of the user!" rants for the past several
months, and still managed to provide comprehensive code manipulation tools, a
Dependency Injection framework, and major contributions to the HTTP
Enrico Zimuel, who got tossed requirements for the
cloud infrastructure component, and then had to rework most of it after
rewriting the HTTP client from the ground up… and who still managed three
back-to-back-to-back conferences as we prepared the release.
Artur Bodera, who often has played
devil's advocate, and persisted pressing his opinions on the direction of the
framework, often despite heavy opposition. We may not implement all (or many)
of the features you want, but you've definitely influenced the direction of
the MVC incredibly.
Pádraic Brady, who
started the runaway train rolling with a rant,
and helped make the project much more transparent, enabling the MVC
development to occur in the first place.
Welcome to the ZF2 beta cycle!

Our knowledge of how to have a healthy pregnancy while HIV positive has increased radically since then; but even for today's HIV-positive moms-to-be, there's still not nearly enough information out there about what to expect when you're expecting. We asked a bunch of moms who've been there: What do you know now about having a baby while HIV positive that you wish you'd known at the time you were pregnant?

What is a Sigmoidoscopy?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What is a Sigmoidoscopy?
Carolyn Vachani, MSN, RN, AOCN, OncoLink's Clinical Trials Coordinator, responds:
A sigmoidoscopy is a procedure that utilizes a sigmoidoscope to examine the rectum and the first portion of the colon. It is important to note, this procedure does not evaluate the entire colon. The sigmoidoscope is a long, slender, flexible tube that contains a light and a camera. When inserted into the rectum, the bowel wall can be visualized with the camera, and projected onto a television screen that the doctor can see. In order to see the bowel wall, the patient must undergo a bowel preparation the day before the test. This may include a laxative, enema, and a clear liquid diet. The American Cancer Society recommends that people over 50 have this test every 5 years, or a colonoscope every 10 years.
