The time was getting close and I still never heard from the financial coordinator, in the meantime I was emailing Mia and Anthony trying to find out what was going on. Mia told me (in an email) that she didn't know why the financial coordinator couldn't contact me herself, and then proceeded to ask me basically the same questions again.
When I finally DID hear from a financial coordinator, Karen Flanagan, I was never given an actual financial plan. I was told that the total cost for the certificate I wanted to earn was just over $12,000 and that I DID qualify for grants as well.
But I was never told what the grants would cover and I never had a clear picture as to what I'd be owing after all was said and done. Plus, it was discovered that in order to receive financial aid I had to take the 2 courses in a 1/2 quarter instead of one class per 1/2 quarter (I was going to be starting mid-quarter) As a single, working mother that was impossible. So I was then told I could start in April instead.
But in order to keep me in an active status and to receive the financial plan I want I'd have to pay the $100 enrollment fee. I contacted Anthony again and told him there was no way I was paying an additional $100 when I don't even know if I truly wanted to enroll because I'd never received any hard numbers to I'd know what I was actually looking at financially. He agreed with me that I should've received a financial plan and would look into it. Here we are 2 weeks later and when I sent an email to him this morning saying so he replied with,
"Carri: It is still being looked into. We have moved about 40 percent of our office. Give me a few more days to let people get unpacked and I will get some answers to you. Thank you for your patience."

Rip Off and Fradulent College Practices

SUBMITTED: Sunday, July 17, 2005POSTED: Sunday, July 17, 2005
You and others may want to have your revenge by simply reporting them to Internal Revenue Service and collect Rewards for your troubles! In addition to that report these people to Post Seconadry Schools Regulatory Agencies in your state and the Department of Education and get yourself an attorney and sue them.
Students should not have to put up with fake institutions like these and still have to pay back loans and not recieve the education they are paying for. Advise others not to go there. Good luck.

I haven't seen any documentation about the UBS buy and price target...what is up with that? I would have thought at least it would have appeared on yahoo news
The concern is why is stock down since UBS upgrade. That is not a good sign. Maybe INSMED started the $100 million financing program and the involved parties are currently sohrting them to buy them back cheaper from company to raise up to $100 million.
If that is the case then INSMED is smart. Pull that $100 million right before Russell inclusion is a smart thing to do. Less dilution. Not worth to take the risk and hopethat the clinical news will always be good and stock may trade higher than $13 in coming months.
If you are client of UBS then you will see it. Or if you have access to some paying services then you will see it. Company will never release a news, and some other 3rd firms may or may not mentione the artcile. Some smallers firms are cheaper and easier to get an access than bigger firms like UBS.
I was able to buy some from firms coverage for $25, but like I said not all brokers sell their services to non-members.
Not sure why, but I looked it up on insider street, it is there. I tried to post that yesterday morning and Y did not allow it for some reason.
stu..I know it is real..just wondering why it hasn't been disseminated more
I have the full report but no one can post it and please don't ask me why you should know the answer.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
because tablet format has characters behind the lettering to show it is not Yahoo.
Are you surprised that we are still under $13? The shorts will soon help us well over $15. And then.....

Globalisation, solidarity, collaboration, and violence #brussels
Ignatia Webs
Yesterday Belgian got his share of violence, and as it unraveled it struck me how much of the actions that are undertaken by all citizens, are similar to informal learning actions (but then I am a learning geek). The government let people know where the evacuation points were, but also informed everyone NOT to come to Brussels, as it was already completely chaotic. brussels airlines).
Learning in the Collaboration Age

The Collaboration Age On a wider plane the Web has been the harbinger of the Collaboration Age.
Informal first
E-Learning Provocateur
It is well documented that the vast majority of learning in the workplace is informal. This 70:20:10 breakdown has since been supported by subsequent research , though sometimes the ratio is represented as 80:20 to reflect informal learning and formal training respectively. • 20% on informal learning. • 10% of learning occurs via formal training (eg classes).
6 benefits of social & collaborative learning
Learning from one another is what people have always done throughout human history, so 'social and collaborative learning' as a learning method is likely to be the oldest one in existence. Even if our approach to training and learning has evolved over time, we still inevitably learn from those we collaborate with. Learning doesn't stop when 'lesson time is over'. Coach. Share.

How Twitter can be used for informal personal learning?
Dont Waste Your Time
As I highlighted in my post from last year I have found Twitter the single most important source of information, events, research, back-channel, inspiration, and motivation I have even come across. Thinking about the people and organisations you follow on Twitter, how did you identify them as useful to follow for your personal informal learning? SB: Thank you. What should you include?
Scripting the Success of Collaborative Learning
Collaboration is a good way to invite ideas and brainstorm – so it is a great practice for the workplace. However, many L&D managers often worry that collaborative learning might not always meet learning objectives set out by the training team. For this, it is necessary to create a structured environment of learning with collaboration as a part of the strategy.
Community and Collaborative Learning
Social Learning
Dave Meier , proponent of Collaborative Learning , says that technology can foster social isolation; and learning in isolation has serious limitations for most people. Technology works best, says Meier, when it helps create learning environments that are: Collaborative. They can interview others on the job, ask questions, get information, or seek help. Option-Rich.

If 80% is #informal #learning, why focus on inner-MOOC actions? #MOOC

A small ''brain wandering journey'' on why I feel MOOC research should look more intensely at informal learning outside of the actual MOOCs (informal learning generated by the dynamics in MOOCs), and overall lifelong learning in an ever changing online learning environment, for a workforce that is becoming older in an knowledge driven era.

Informal Learning
While formal training plays a tremendous role in improving learners' competencies, most real learning occurs on the job through informal knowledge sharing, coaching, and direct observations. Thus, informal learning is now becoming an indispensable part of a blended learning solution. So, how can eLearning professionals include informal learning in their training curriculum?
Being clear on collaboration
Clark Quinn
Twice recently, I've been confronted with systems that claim to be collaboration platforms. And I think distributed collaboration is one of the most powerful options we have for accelerating our innovation. So in each case I did some investigation. Now, true collaboration is powerful. By collaboration in this sense I mean working together to create a shared representation. And it can happen asynchronously as well, with people adding, elaborating, editing whenever they have time, and the information evolves. Google Docs), but it's central.
Preliminary Research Validates MindMeld SME Collaboration Model
Web Courseworks
In 2011, Penny Ralston-Berg and I published our book, MindMeld: Micro-Collaboration Between eLearning Designers and Instructor Experts. She is also the Director of Distance Education and Learning Technologies. A few days ago, I was delighted to learn that my model for micro-collaboration has been applied and evaluated by researchers at Texas A&M University. Works cited: 1. Klein.
9 tips for successfully including peer collaboration in an online course
The eLearning Nomad
Often when I ask new clients why they opt for a 'blended' program, they indicate the need for people to work together – implying that true collaboration can only happen face-to-face. Many of our clients run successful collaborative eWorkshops (mostly asynchronous, so no or few webinars ). In fact, there might be more collaboration in an online version compared to its face-to-face equivalent because we're giving people more time to think and formulate their contributions. Asynchronous collaboration often goes deeper. Design a smart and inspiring collaborative task.

Plenty has been written about why employees are slow to adopt enterprise collaboration tools. The more important missing piece for gaining user adoption of enterprise collaboration tools is less obvious. Social Business as follows: The big failure of social business is a lack of integration of social tools into the collaborative workflow. This makes a lot of sense.
Is Too Much Collaboration a Bad Thing?
Most companies that employ collaborative practices can probably tell you that they see many of collaboration's benefits. As it turns out, the law of diminishing returns applies to collaboration as well. Organizations are starting to see a backlash from too much collaboration, as reported by the Harvard Business Review , and the result is ruining the gains that collaboration should provide. What does too much collaboration look like and how did we get here? Employees can easily share informational and social resources in a one-time exchange.
How to use technology to promote collaborative learning?
Constantly emerging social media that are changing our ways of getting information also have a big impact on how we learn and what is more important, on how our students want to learn. That's why I've decided to dig inside Computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) theory and present a possible tool that supports creative thinking and collaboration capabilities. Ruth C.
Why Organizations Must Encourage Collaboration: Building a Case
ID Reflections
Nor do they care much about collaboration.

This brings us to the questions that are floating around in most organizations today: Why should employees collaborate?

This method of learning is called informal learning. whopping 80 percent of learning happens informally , outside of a classroom. After all, people don't stop learning informally when they step into an office.

In networks, cooperation trumps collaboration
Learning and Working on the Web
In networks, cooperation trumps collaboration. Collaboration happens around some kind of plan or structure, while cooperation presumes the freedom of individuals to join and participate. Stephen Downes commented here on the differences: collaboration means 'working together'. Collaboration is only part of working in networks. Cooperation is a driver of creativity.

The difference between social learning and social collaboration
Jane Hart
In my framework of Modern Workplace Learning (see diagram on right) I use the term s ocial collaboration to label an important new element of work of the modern-day L&D department. I deliberately chose not to label it s ocial learning. So what is the difference – or rather connection – between these two terms? Here is a chart that shows the extent, as well as some of the features of different types of social learning in an organisation – with the red bordered area showing the work that can be described as social collaboration.

Reconciling Formal and Informal
Clark Quinn
Recently, there's been a lot of talk about informal learning, which ends up sounding like formal learning, and this can be confusing. So I've been trying to reconcile these two viewpoints, and this is how I'm seeing it. Now, let's move on to informal learning, as this is where, to me, we have a conflict. Let's get formal learning out of the way first.

Great fitting top this is the 2nd one I've used comfortable and lightweight. Only downside I didn't receive free gift with item as was advertised.

This brief monograph represents the Thomas W. Salmon memorial lectures delivered by Dr. Fulton before the New York Academy of Medicine. The first chapter concerns the historical aspects of the relationship of the brain, particularly the frontal lobes, to animal behavior. The second chapter deals with the relation of the brain, particularly the hypothalamus and the cerebral cortex, to autonomic functions (principally visceral and vasomotor activities). Chapter 3 discusses the effect on behavior of ablation of various parts of the animal brain, while the fourth and last chapter concerns the results of frontal lobotomy in man.
This is an interesting little book and will prove valuable to many who are not too familiar with frontal lobotomy and its anatomic and physiological background. It is, however, somewhat superficial in its treatment of the subject and suffers from the fact that its author has had little first-hand experience with patients who have

I got a great question last week after my presentation at our live Authority Intensive event in Denver.
What do I do if I feel like I've outgrown my audience?
I think a lot of business owners run into this.
Maybe the owner has personally and professionally grown a lot, but the customer base is still very much made up of newbies. Or maybe the topic isn't as exciting as it used to be.
But there's something that fascinates me about content-based businesses (online or off, actually). And the single most commonly used word I've heard business owners use to describe it is spooky.

Third party group Cubex have posted images on their Weibo showing off a potential unlicensed Masterpiece Huffer. What is seen here is an obviously early prototype, but a promising looking release. About large enough to fit in the palm of one's hand in vehicle mode, this Huffer seems scaled with the current Masterpiece Transformers and is relatively well detailed.

I was using wp-report post and I've tried wp-report-error. Since the latest upgrade by WordPress, both of these plugins have began to fail. Neither have been updated by the developers for a long time and I'm thinking they probably won't be updated anytime soon.
Does anyone know of a plug-in that will do what these two do? Basically, insert a graphical link that a user can click to report a problem with a particular post. I would like it to then generate an email to me (or notify me on the dashboard) with the link that the user is reporting and what problem they encountered (a message field where they can tell me what happened is sufficient.)
You can see an example here:
The graphical link is still there and the form will still generate when you click the link, but when a user clicks to submit the error, it SHOULD send me an email and post a notice in the dashboard. Neither of these features is working. I need another plugin. Any help in finding another is greatly appreciated.

Electro Dough Workshop: Creative Circuits & Electronics Using Conductive Dough
Spend a morning exploring the intersection where technology, art and electro-dough meet!
DIY Electro Dough promises to take a hands on approach to discovering the possibilities of using electronics and programming in creating physical objects. During this workshop you'll get to mould and create your own responsive and interactive sculptures using LEDs, batteries and playdough! One of the most enjoyable ways to build your own switches and construct your own circuits.
Whether you want to teach your kids about electronics or you want a new and easy way to learn the basic principles of electronics and circuitry, come along.
It is important to note that there are small parts in this kit and adult supervision is required. Also, because the conductive dough is extremely salty, the components and terminals will corrode over time. Cleaning them with a damp cloth after playing with your Squishy Circuits will promote longevity.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The McRoberts family history stretches back to the clans of the Dalriadan kingdom on the sea-swept Hebrides islands and mountainous western coast of Scotland. The name McRoberts is derived from the personal name Robert. Known as the Clan Donnachaidh, the family's origins are very distinguished, as the senior branch of the line were the hereditary abbots of Dunkeld, who traced their descent from Iona. In addition, Abbot Duncan of Dunkeld, the Robertson progenitor, was killed in battle in 964, as he led the warriors, bearing, a reliquary of St. Columba. His grandson, Abbot Crinan of Dunkeld, married the Kings daughter and then fathered King Duncan I of Scotland who was killed by MacBeth (of Shakespearean fame). Crinan is buried at the Isle of lona, burial place of Scotland's early Kings.
The surname McRoberts was first found in Atholl. King Duncan's younger son, Maelmore, sired Madadh, Earl of Atholl, and his grandson, Earl Henry, was father to Conan who held vast territories in this area. Conan of Glenerochie was the first Chief of the Robertsons and gave his name to the Clan Connchaidh or Duncan. His successor, Duncan, the 5th Chief, led the Clan in the army of King Bruce at Bannockburn in 1314 against the English. For this service, and his subsequent staunch support of the Scottish Crown, his grandson Robert of Struan was granted the lands and barony in 1451.
Spelling in the medieval era was a highly imprecise process. Translation, particularly from Gaelic to English, was little better. For these reasons, early Scottish names are rife with spelling variations. In various documents McRoberts has been spelled Robertson, MacConachie, Maconachie, MacConaghy, MacConchie, MacConckey, MacConkey, MacDonnachie, MacDonachie, MacDunnachie, MacInroy, MacLagan, Mac Raibeirt (Gaelic) and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our McRoberts research. Another 805 words (58 lines of text) covering the years 1745, 1587, 1703, 1715, 1723, 1727, 1745, 1749, 1784, 1746, 1668 and 1689 are included under the topic Early McRoberts History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Another 38 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early McRoberts Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Some of the McRoberts family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 115 words (8 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Settlers from Scotland put down roots in communities all along the east coast of North Ameri ca. Some moved north from the American colonies to Canada as United Empire Loyalists during the American War of Independence. As Clan societies and highland games started in North America in the 20th century many Scots rediscovered parts of their heritage. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name McRoberts were among those contributors:
McRoberts Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
McRoberts Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Virtutis gloria merces
Motto Translation: Glory is the reward of valour.
Other References
The McRoberts Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The McRoberts Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

ing score raising
My wife and I are attempting to buy a home and she ran he MYFICO score and it came out to be a 572. Now she only has 5 marks on her credit report, 2 being badies. She has an old cell phone in collections for 2 years, and 2 30 day lates on her car from 2 years ago. The other thing she has is a capitalone credit card with a $750 CL at $706.
My question is if we pay off her Cap one and settle her old cell phone bill with a PFD how high could her score potentially change?
Thanks in advance!!!

Man, when I go up a flight of stairs, by the time I get to the top, I'm panting like I just ran a marathon!
Shortness of Breath?
I have the same experience and it didn't used to be like this until I got pregnant. I am trying to get to the gym more for shorter periods of time because I do a good bit of walking at work! It's embarassing.
Chloe' Anne
I can't wait for my FIRST bundle of joy!!!
This is happening to me as well. Just doing normal chores around the house make me winded. My husband keeps laughing at me because I sound like I just got back from a run when all I did was vacuum or dust or something silly.
Married May 1, 2010
Baby #1 due June 2, 2012
Me too! I told my sister I was going to need a jazzy scooter by the end of this.
I live in a fourth floor walk up. It's never bothered me before. But now.....good lord, not fun.
It's because our blood volume ahs just increased by 40-50% and that takes a whole lot of extra oxygen. I may not be able to leave the aprtment by 8 months, I'll never get back up the stairs ;-)
Yup, I feel the same way, only one flight in our house but I huff and puff like a steam engine!
Wow! I noticed that this happens to me too. I thought I was just really out of shape all of a sudden! Glad to know I'm not alone. Thanks for posting!
I'm feeling your pain ladies...I though I was just feeling how much out of shape I am...but really I get winded doing one set of stairs...and carrying something makes it so much more pronounced!!!

My husband and I had him build an addition onto our building and it was nothing but disaster. The many lies he told when he was questioned about why something was being done the way it was. He knows nothing about building anything so how could we expect a truthful answer. Hindsight is wonderful.
We also had our kitchen redone and just a year after it was completed you can tell what shabby workmanship went into it. I will be more than willing to show it to anyone.
He was never there to inspect what was being done. At our business or our home. He would only show up on the jobsites to collect the money which by the way he was able to collect the money when it wasn't even due at the time. I don't know for sure how we let him get away with it. Other than he comes across as this really great guy who you feel very comfortable with and that's how he gets you.
And a computer business? Jeremy, you should get as far away from Cal as you can! He, if not already, will ruin your reputation. What a joke. You couldn't build anything and now you think you can work on computers. Please, please anyone reading this do not hire this idiot to do anything for you.
I wouldn't let him throw my trash out much less "build" anything for me.
People please be aware of this con man who is such a little man but talks really big and makes lots and lots of promises. Who looks you in the eye while he's lying to you.
SCS Builders has an A- rating with the BBB. The poor person who sent in a negative report received a response from Cal Spoon in which he was able to exonerate himself and the BBB believed him! There again it's because he talks a really big talk and can convince anyone that he had a perfectly good reason for doing or not doing whatever.
I have proof of all the wrong doing that he has done if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Name four criteria by which the size of a reservoir is determined.
Solutions for Chapter 11
Name four criteria by which the size of a reservoir is determined.
The four main criterions that decide the size of the reservoir are as follows:
1) For the dissipation of heat generated in the system, the reservoir should have a large surface area.
2) To prevent air to be carried by the pump through the whirlpool effect, the reservoir should be able maintain a sufficient level of oil.
3) To allow the escape of air and the settlement of chips and dirt, the reservoir should be provided with enough allowance.
4) The reservoir should be big enough to contain all the oil that will be drained in it. The reservoir is generally designed to be of volume three times the pump's volume flow rate.

|[1 volume]
Based on the bestseller by John Grisham, Runaway Jury is a slick thriller that's exciting enough to overcome the gaps in its plot. The ultimate target has been changed: Grisham's legal assault on the tobacco industry was switched to the hot-button issue of gun control (no doubt to avoid comparison to The Insider) in a riveting exposé of jury-tampering. Gene Hackman plays the ultra-cynical, utterly unscrupulous pawn of the gun-makers, using an expert staff and advanced electronics to hand-pick a New Orleans jury that will return a favorable verdict; Dustin Hoffman (making his first screen appearance with real-life former roommate Hackman) defends the grieving widow of a gun-shooting victim with idealistic zeal, while maverick juror John Cusack and accomplice Rachel Weisz play both ends against the middle in a personal quest to hold gun-makers accountable. It's riveting stuff, even when it's obvious that Grisham and director Gary Fleder have glossed over any details that would unravel the plot's intricate design.

Newcomer Law Firms Are Creating Niches With Blue-Chip Clients
The legal industry isn't known for innovation. But a few upstarts have come up with a business model that challenges the tight grip big law firms hold on corporate business. This new breed of firms is landing blue-chip clients and, in the process, making money.
The newcomers aim to provide highly qualified lawyers, often working on site, for a good deal less than traditional law firms. They are nowhere near to replacing their more-conventional competition: companies still turn to brand-name law firms for the vast majority of the legal work they farm out. And it isn't easy to recruit talented attorneys willing to give up the prestige, colleagues and career-track of a large law firm.
But for certain work, the new outfits offer businesses a welcome alternative to in-house lawyers or outside law firms.
Kirk Wickman, general counsel of Morgan Stanley's MS 2.48 % global wealth-management arm, is a client. A few years ago when he had a knotty securities-law issue to solve, the right in-house lawyer didn't immediately spring to mind. He says he feared the bill a law firm would submit for the lengthy project.
Instead, he tried New York-based Axiom Global Inc., which provided a lawyer who had spent several years at the elite New York-based firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP. Mr. Wickman says the lawyer did "fantastic" work, and he estimates he saved about 40% of what he would have paid a lawyer at a large New York law firm.
Axiom, with some 220 lawyers on staff, and a host of smaller counterparts, like Outside GC LLC in Boston and Phillips & Reiter PLLC in Houston, offer experienced and often-pedigreed attorneys to companies as needed, frequently at discounts to law-firm rates. Some of them cater to small businesses that don't have large in-house legal departments. They can charge less because they aren't compensating scores of highly paid partners, and their lawyers often work from home or at a client's offices, keeping real-estate overhead to a minimum.
Mark Harris, a 38-year-old law-firm veteran who co-founded Axiom, says the seed of the idea hit him one day in 1998 when, as a young associate at Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York, he glimpsed a client bill for a case he was working on. "It was only February, and already we'd billed an amount equal to my salary for the year," he says. He soon realized that every dollar that he billed for the rest of the year would, in effect, either go to defray overhead expenses or into the pockets of the law firm's partners.
"The model seemed broken to me," Mr. Harris says.
So he set out to attract lawyers trained on the dime of large firms to come work for him, taking temporary assignments with corporate clients. The lawyers are employed full-time by Axiom and receive benefits -- but no pay -- between assignments. He says clients can save more than 50% compared with a law firm.
Lawyers join Axiom for a range of reasons. Some want to carve out time to try their hands at making films or writing novels. Robyn Rahbar, who left New York-based Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP last year after eight years at the firm, most recently part time, chose Axiom because she wanted to spend more time with her children. Since January, Ms. Rebhar has worked about 20 hours a week through Axiom at Virgin Mobile USA Inc.
Another lawyer, Joe Risico, joined Axiom because he just needed a break. "I'd had my nose to the grindstone at Cravath for about five years," says Mr. Risico, who recently finished his first engagement at Axiom, a nine-month stint doing transactional work at Goldman Sachs Group GS 1.90 % Inc. "I wanted to chill out and try something different."
Mr. Risico says it took him a while to get used to the prestige disparity between his old and new employers. "You say 'Cravath' and everyone immediately knows what you're talking about," he says. But he says he is "getting a range of great experience" at Axiom. This week, he is slated to start a new assignment at Credit Suisse Group.
"The money is very good," he adds, saying it is comparable to what a sixth- or seventh-year attorney makes at Cravath -- minus the hefty annual bonus: about $250,000.
In the seven-plus years since Mr. Harris and a friend, Alec Guettel, launched Axiom, they have succeeded in attracting a host of Fortune 500 clients, including Cisco Systems Inc., CSCO -0.13 % General Electric Co. GE 0.03 % , Google Inc. and a handful of investment banks. Last year, Axiom brought in gross revenues of $39 million. Mr. Harris says it is on pace to bring in more than $66 million this year.
"The model makes a lot of sense," says Don Liu, general counsel at Xerox XRX 1.24 % Corp., who has used Axiom lawyers on several occasions. Mr. Liu recently hired an Axiom attorney to handle legal work during the company's proxy season, from December through May. He says the lawyer did an outstanding job and was "at least 25% cheaper" than a law firm would have been.
Axiom's ambitions are large -- Mr. Harris hopes to employ 1,000 lawyers "within the not-so-distant future." But from another perspective, its goals are modest. Mr. Harris doesn't expect his company to displace the demand for top law firms to handle high-end, high-margin work, such as bet-the-company litigation or a major merger. "That isn't Axiom," says Mark Chandler, Cisco's general counsel.
And Axiom will have to continue to persuade the change-resistant legal world that its lawyers are good. "I was skeptical at first," says Xerox's Mr. Liu. "I had to get over a fear that they weren't going to be as committed to the job or to the work as a permanent person."
Perhaps the biggest obstacle to Axiom's growth plans: a lack of lawyers who fit its bill: pedigreed and law-firm-trained lawyers ready to jump off the traditional track. "It's our biggest hurdle right now," says Mr. Harris, who adds that for every 100 lawyers who apply for employment at Axiom, the company hires one.
That said, it isn't a problem that seems to be causing Mr. Harris sleepless nights. "Law firms are likely to continue making lawyers unhappy for years to come," he says.

The Swedish outfit were viewed as potentially tricky opponents for the Swans having thrashed Hibernian 9-0 in the last round and with their domestic season in full flight.
But they were brushed aside by the Welsh club as Michu, record signing Wilfried Bony (two) and Alejandro Pozuelo found the net to complete an emphatic third qualifying round first leg win on the Swans' return to European competition after a 22-year absence.
"I am very pleased, perfection does not exist in football but it is very difficult not to be satisfied," said Laudrup.
"Four goals and none conceded against an opponent who were match-fit.
"There were also two goals for a new striker, and we know goals are so important for players up front.
"Pozuelo also scored in his first game, Michu is back scoring and we had no injuries so it is difficult not to be pleased."
Laudrup was pleased to see £12million man Bony break his duck at the earliest available opportunity, and promising signs that the Ivory Coast striker is forming a potent partnership with Michu.
The Dane was also delighted to see Bony's fellow new recruits Jonjo Shelvey, who excelled in midfield, Jordi Amat, Pozuelo and Jose Canas all fit in well on their debuts.
"Michu and Bony have only played together in the Reading friendly," he said. "But we had other new players. Jordi in the back, Jonjo in midfield plus Pozuelo and Canas.
"If we win 4-0 and the players don't know each other that well then it's not bad."
He added, referring to Bony's contribution: "For every forward it is important to score goals early when you join a new club, especially when he has a price tag on him. They were two different goals and I'm pleased for him."

UNIONVILLE — At least 50 firefighters were drawn to the scene of a late-night fiery explosion that had an elderly couple fleeing for their lives Saturday night, a fire chief said.
At about 11:30 p.m., said Unionville Fire Department Chief Jeff Ricker, the area was rocked by the sound of an explosion.
"Almost the entire village heard it," Ricker said. "Everybody heard it and thought, 'This isn't good.'"
Calls soon began to roll in.
Within three minutes, Unionville firefighters began to arrive at the still-exploding, converted three-story barn at 3 Amdurer Road. It was engulfed in flames, Ricker said.
Minutes before the explosion, the elderly couple had heard sounds outside the home, peered out their third-story bedroom window and saw a glow, Ricker said.
The couple then headed downstairs and were exiting the home through the second floor when the explosion occurred, Ricker said.
The couple was taken to a local hospital with unknown injuries. They were both later released, Ricker said.
Seven fire departments fought the fire for about 35 minutes before they got it under control. The home is still standing but severely damaged, Ricker said. No firefighters were injured, he said.
Orange County fire investigators are looking into the cause, but Ricker said oxygen tanks stored at the home and used by the elderly woman are being looked at as the origin of the blasts.
He said a nearby pond and the large contingent of firefighters helped to douse the flames fast.
"I'm proud of my guys and everybody who showed up at the scene," Ricker said.
