The bank guidance—Official Letter No. 915/TTGSNH11 (25 March 2016)—was issued to credit institutions and branches of foreign banks. The state bank updated the status and progress with respect to intergovernmental agreement (IGA) negotiations and conclusion, and provided further reporting guidance for the reporting year 2015. Financial institutions are required to implement the FATCA reporting requirements for the year 2015 by 30 June 2016, but a 90-day extension may be granted if a financial institution files an extension request by 31 March 2016.

As expected, weakness has continued in the equity markets this week. However, based on the NDX/SPX topping comparative that I have been highlighting over the past few weeks, the downside exhaustion-proportional equivalent of the pattern is ~2525. Considering that the NDX finished today at 2531.87, the risk/rewards for continuing to press shorts here is weak. Based on this comparative, risk will shift to the upside in equities through the balance of November into December.
I would estimate that the downside risks for the NDX could extend in the short-term to the zone of the June 5th/6th gap.
*This note and chart were edited at 4:30 EST to include todays close for the NDX.

Conservation Planning and Biodiversity: Assembling the Best Data for the Job
Readers of the note by Brooks et al. (2004) will, I hope, be persuaded of the urgent need for more comprehensive data on species. It would be unfortunate, though, if readers formed the impression that biodiversity processes cannot be seriously considered by conservation planners because 'Techniques for mapping and measuring ecological and evolutionary processes are in their infancy.' More unfortunate would be the impression that 'broad-scale biodiversity attributes' (Brooks et al. 2004), hereafter 'land types' (such as vegetation units or land systems) are alternatives to data on species.

No Sap, Only Blood
The competing filmmakers at the third Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival are a romantic bunch. Their cameras pan to lighthouses and seas, fields and a high school campus. All offer postcard-pretty shots, but only one has stuck his neck out—Jim Libiran, the director of "Tribu".
"Tribu" tells the story of three street gangs in Tondo, namely Sacred Brown Tribe, Thugs Angels and Diablos. It is seen through the eyes of a boy, named Ebet, and his voice-over opens and ends the film. In between them, though, there is darkness: A member of SBT dies. Mackoy and his SBT suspect the Diablos as perpetrators. They vow revenge and conspire with the Thugs Angels. At midnight, their bloody war begins.
Other similar films enter the mind, especially "City of God". But "Tribu" holds its own. To watch this film is to be punched in the gut. You crawl out of the theater reeling from its rawness. What is special here is that Libiran reveals to us the real face of Tondo, where sex and violence are not uncommon, where gangsters and hip-hop rule. The camera doesn't shy away from tangled electric wires, slaughtered pigs and loud neighbors; instead, it sets a documentary style of filmmaking. The handheld shots give an authentic feel.
Casting real-life gangsters, as actors, also preserves the authenticity. In the film, they're no longer acting; they play themselves. But more important, "Tribu" depicts them in a good light: that they're family people, too. Makoy and his friend, for instance, chat with their parents over breakfast and do chores. Yes, the rest also smoke drugs and cuss and kill, but these do not define them.
The screenplay is also by Libiran, which bagged a Palanca in 2006. Libiran has an ear for everyday speech and writes candid dialogues. "Huwag ka nang tumuloy," a fellow thug warns Makoy not to join the brawl, "mamamatay ka lang." Makoy is miffed and points a gun at him. "Sige, iputok mo," replies the other, "nang malagas tayong lahat!"
The dialogues even sound poetic when the gangsters burst into rap. But they're neither fancy nor contrived. To them, poetry comes naturally. Just listen to their angst: "'Tang ina, bumalik na kayo sa inyong pinagputahan/ Lahat kayo ay aming babalahan."
Sentimentality tends to mar the other films in competition (portions of "Still Life" feel like that of a primetime soap). "Tribu", however, never succumbs to this. Through Libiran's direction, it doesn't manipulate the audience. Consider the scene when Ebet has prepared dinner for his mother. Ebet calls out to her, but she lies in bed still. The boy then pulls her blanket and rests at his mother's side. No music accompanies this scene, yet it touches a nerve or two.
Some say, the way to achieve artistic perfection is to approach a full physical reality. "Tribu" is a piece of reality. It is at times dark and touching, but always simple and true. Do catch its re-runs in UP this August.
This is a more succinct, insightful mouthful than many so-called movie reviews that appear in the papers today! (Drewrites posted his review at 6:34 p.m., July 29, Sunday. Later that night "Tribu" won Best Picture honors at the Cinemalaya awards.)
Congratulations, Drewrites! Write more, and we'll be there to read you. And thanks for supporting Cinemalaya and indie cinema. (Please e-mail me at email@example.com for instructions on how you can claim your prize.)
There were three other bloggers who joined this contest by writing about the Cinemalaya movies they caught at the CCP. This gave me quite a puzzle: A bigger number had joined my earlier small pakulo on the Virgin Labfest, also a watching-and-blogging exercise. I was thinking that Cinemalaya would attract more participants since movies have always been more popular, more "accessible," than theater. Hmmm. Either the prize wasn't big enough, or the movies themselves weren't that interesting? Give me your thoughts on this one.
Yatot, Q the Conqueror and Radioactive Adobo, thank you for joining, too. I enjoyed reading your pieces as well; I'll keep them in mind when I catch the films during their UP Film Center run.
On Aureus Solito's "Pisay:" "Admittedly, 'Pisay' is not Aureus Solito's best work. It is cheesy. At times, it is a bit cliché. However, isn't that what high school is all about? Pisay alumni or not, you are bound to leave the cinema with an ache in your heart, a tear in your eye and a yearning for what some call the best years of our lives." -- Q the Conqueror (Complete post here.)
On Katski Flores' "Still Life:" "Overall, 'Still Life' by Katski Flores is worth watching or worth checking out! A good movie for me is the one that I cannot guess what will be the twist of the story. There are a few of them, and I'm glad that those movies were really good! Too bad for Katski because I guessed the twist right. But despite the early revelation of the twist, I am still giving a four stars to this movie! Keep up the good work, Katski!" -- Yatot Chronicles (Complete post here.)
On Dennis Marasigan's "Tukso:" "'Tukso suffers from comparison with 'Rashomon.' Of course those who haven't seen the latter would care less about comparisons. 'Tukso,' however, has its brilliant moments. The storytelling is fluid, almost tight, with a smattering of amusing scenes that made the audience holler in delight (like the way Irma Adlawan let loose her hair when Ping Medina agreed to spend the rainy night in her house; the innuendo is delicious and hard to miss!)." -- Radioactive Adobo, who reviewed a few other short-film and feature-length entries (Complete posts here.)
PLUS: Jessica Zafra has more on Cinemalaya. Great reads as always.

Parenting is full of really confusing choices! One of those choices is choosing the best car seat for your growing baby. It pretty much ranks up there as just as confusing as creating a baby registry (wayyyy too many choices!). Before Avary was born, we chose to buy a travel system that included an infant car seat carrier that would attach to the stroller. I do not regret that decision at all because we got so much use out of it! However, as Avary has been creeping up on turning one, I began to realize that she was getting much too big for her infant seat and it was time to move up. I had no idea where to start in looking for a convertible carseat! So I did a bit of research, talked to other moms, and began formulating a list of potential seats.
The most important thing to remember when shopping around for car seats is that each car seat on the market has gone through the same rigorous crash testing and has met the federal safety standards. While some seats may perform better in tests, the difference in price comes into play for reasons like, comfort, convenience, ease-of-use, style, quality, and brand/name. Because of this, you will find that there are recommended car seats ranging in price from $39 up to $500!
What I recommend in helping you make a decision is to write out a list of your needs and must-haves for a seat. Include things like:
- Rear-facing and forward-facing: Do you want to do extended rear-facing? How long will your little one fit? What is the weight and height limit for forward-facing? Will you have to buy another convertible seat when they meet the limits?
- Size, dimensions & compatibility with your vehicle: Get the measurements of the car seat and the vehicle you will be placing it in. Will it fit comfortably? Does your vehicle have LATCH anchors or will you be using a seat belt? Will you have more than one car seat side by side and will they fit?
- Ease of use: Is the car seat easy for you to use? If you will be transferring it between vehicles, is it light enough for you to carry on your own? Do you prefer a "rapid-release" style? Is it easy to anchor? Are the straps easy to tighten and loosen?
- Durability and washable: Do you want a seat cover that can easily be taken off and thrown in the washer? Is the fabric durable if you can only spot-clean?
- Comfort for baby: Is the seat comfortable for your little one? Is there enough head support? How much padding do you want? What material is the padding made of (too hot, too thin, etc.)? Does the seat have different modes for recline? Will baby be able to sleep comfortably in it?
- Safety and construction of the seat: Is there adequate side-impact protection? What materials is the seat made of? How did it rank in crash tests?
- Cost: How much are you willing to spend? Is the seat within your price range? Will the seat last through toddlerhood or will you have to upgrade again?
Once you go through that list, you can better determine which seat is right for your little one and your family. I strongly encourage you to research on sites like Car Seats for the Littles (list of recommended seats, car seat safety laws, recalls, and resources), Consumer Reports (ratings, recommendations, crash test results and comparisons) and The Car Seat Blog (reviews, ratings, comparisons and information). You will be able to find all the information you could ever need!
After going through all the research and information, we decided to purchase the Graco MySize 65. It met all the criteria we were looking for, we found it on sale on Amazon, and we got Amazon Prime free shipping-so we paid just under $150! We are very happy with our choice, and I think Avary is too! 🙂
Here are a few popular, top-rated car seats:

Happy car seat shopping, friends!! And remember, do what's best for your family!

Kevin Tain, youth reporter, talks with conemporary American Batik artist Lisa Telling Kattenbraker, about her tattoos and lifestyle.
Enclosed is an excerpt from Lisa's Bio:
Recently I have been moving a lot – relocating with my family: Down the road, across the country. I keep hoping to look down one day and find my home on my shoe.
Nonetheless, my kids encourage me to bring snacks and to remember that this is all a great adventure…even when the cat poops in the car and our house decides that the time has come to shift off its posts. We do a lot of drawing in our little family unit… I adore my children so much (and believe them to possess the utmost artistic talent) and they are graciously sharing their drawings. I put them in my own picture drawings. They make me smile. Quite possibly, they are my home.
We just moved again, this time to Olympia, WA with the 2 children and artist husband and cat. We moved 2 years ago from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. And now twice since then. Nestled nicely in the northwest, we may be content…maybe.
NOTE: As soon as we can figure out a time, Lisa will be interviewed on the Videoblogging 206 live talk radio broadcast. If you have questions for her, please post them in the comment section. Information about the upcoming show will be posted on this blog.

If you have played an interactive, you should understand the universal rules that apply to all interactive's:
Request the next move. If people like your request for what the character does next, they'll vote a tick. If not, a cross.
You are the brood mother Te'Jee. created by the Queen of Blades to help develop the swarm. Now she is de-infested and the brood mothers have scattered. You took your brood abroad the stars on a wounded Leviathan to the wasteland known as Besilus. But as you landed in the planets widest canyon the Leviathan died.
Now the hive cluster has started, with but a single Hatchery and an Extractor set up, and Drones scurry to and from it and a cluster of minerals.
On the other side of the planet was a settlement with a light garrison of Dominion troops. You watch the Larvae hatch from their eggs, with two quickly cocooning themselves, one will become a Drone for a spawning pool, while the other will become an Overlord to allow for the rest of your brood.
What will the Te'Jee brood do next?
[NOTE: Dominion garrison does not known of your prescience, nor do you know of theirs.]
Picture for basic layout of your hive (minus buildings, drones, etc. It's a flavour map for the mere purpose of this thread.)

text: Hi all! Putting together a budget boat system for the 'Bu. In boat are 4 Kicker 6.5 and a 10" Solo Baric L5 all powered by an Autotek SX-5750 5 channel. Tower speakers (in aluminum bullets) are 4 Polk DB651. In the future I'd like to upgrade to some 6.5 HLCD's. I'm looking for an amp to power the existing tower speakers that also has enough balls to drive the HLCD's when I upgrade. I'm space limited to roughly 15"x12". Anything taylor made to my requirements? Thanks, Jim

Author Notes: A lovely french recipe for crêpes, I could say one of the best I ever tried, very delicate and with a great taste. —corinam88
Serves 10
- 11 ounces all-purpose flour
- 2 ounces sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup orange blossom water
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 liter milk
- 30 milliliters oil
- 2 ounces melted butter
- 1 pinch salt
- In a bowl beat the eggs, slowly add the milk and the orange blossom water. Add the oil, butter, sugar, vanilla essence and salt to the egg mixture. At the end add the flour and mix until combined.
- Melt a 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Ladle the crepe batter into the pan and swirl until base of the pan is evenly coated with batter. Cook until the edges begin to dry out a bit and the batter is set. Gently turn crepe over and finishing cooking for about 30 seconds. Repeat until you finish the rest of the batter.
- Fold into a quarter piece, roll or stack. Serve with your favorite fillings/toppings and enjoy. I like mine with cream cheese or jam.
- If you want the crepes with a salty filling, just omit the sugar, orange water blossom and vanilla essence. Enjoy!

It can't be a good feeling for Jim Leyland when ever he ambles out to the mound and points towards the bullpen. It doesn't seem to matter lately who gets the call, they will invariably allow more baserunners than outs. The numbers posted by the pen during the 5 game losing streak are simply staggering.
In the 5 game skid the bullpen has been called on to pitch 14 1/3 innings in 18 "calls to the pen." Over those 14 1/3 innings they have allowed 23 hits, 12 walks, and 18 runs. Five of those hits have left the park. Only 8 hitters have gone down on strikes. It is simply amazing that they could perform so poorly as a group. They had to face 79 batters to record those 43 outs – and the last out came on a pickoff where Fu-Te Ni didn't throw a pitch.
After the Royals series I laid some of the blame on the starters not working deep enough into games and thus exposing the less dependable members of the relief corps to high leverage innings. But in Saturday night's game Jackson got the ball to Brandon Lyon – who picked up the blown save a wild pitch. And then a tie game was handed over to Fernando Rodney – and he allowed a 2 out 2 run homer. It doesn't matter who comes trotting out, they are going to allow baserunners.
Of those 18 calls to the pen, the incoming reliever was charged with at least 1 run 10 different times. Miner, Bonine, Perry, Seay, Galarraga, it doesn't matter. They've all been charged with runs in the last week. Ni is the only one to see his ERA unblemished and he even walked one of the 2 batters he faced.
Until the bullpen gets out of its collective funk the starters will need to find a way to pitch deeper and the offense will need to find a way to put games out of reach (in a favorable way). Neither of those events have been occurring and thus you have a losing streak.

text: The persistent current popularity of blood-sucking bucks (and the chicks who love them) heads to the 'hood. Bypassing Team Edward and Team Jacob completely, teeth-barred Trina is "not remorsey" as she hops on Team Gucci: "Throw me in a movie/when you see me you salute true blood/ ooh-wee!" In turn, Gucci raps over tolling bells and casket-rattling bass in an appropriately undead rasp: "I believe in vampires/ lil' shorty stay up all night/ trying to build an empire." On that note, expect a sequel shortly, shorty.

Silvano Vecchiato (a student of Annigoni) is well known for the painting "Madonna with Child and Landscape" of Vicenza and is one of the classics that you could come across. Now, Roberto Coin, the Italian jeweller who is called the Midas for he uses gold so much has used thousands of carats of sapphires blacks, diamonds, pearls, rubies, aquamarine, and other precious stones in order to create the painting.
It was unveiled at the Verona luxury fair and there is no information about the price whatsoever. You must not even wonder about the price for it certainly is going to be more expensive than a private jet or a yacht. With so much of sapphires blacks, diamonds, pearls, rubies, aquamarine, and other precious stones you can only imagine how much it might cost.
Oh of course, the proceedings from the sale would go to Haiti earthquake survivors and thus it could be called as luxury for charity. It shows Madonna holding baby Jesus in her lap and is a great Christian symbol of motherhood and love. If you are religious it may mean a lot to you, if not there is always the thousands of precious stones in it.

Ehud Ben Zvi, Christoph Levin, "The Concept of Exile in Ancient Israel and its Historical Contexts"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 3110221772 | PDF | pages: 400 | 3,4 mb
The exile is a central turning point in Israel's construction of the past as it is recorded in the Hebrew Bible. The latter's concept/s of exile are involved, among others, in constructions of patriarchal narratives, the Egyptian sojourn and slavery that led to the Exodus, and the motif of 'the empty land' during the Babylonian period. Moreover, ancient Israelite concepts of exile have exerted much influence in later Christian and Jews discourses. This volume gathers papers presented at two workshops organized by the University of Munich and the University of Alberta.

The digital distribution platform, GamersGate, launched their second indie games bundle, over this past weekend. The bundle can be purchased for any price at $5.99 or above. Any purchases over $6 will see 100% of the money go directly to the developer. So basically, if you pay the minimum, you cheat the developers! How cleverly persuasive. But really, this bundle contains far more than $6 worth of content.
For one, the bundle includes Jeremey Phr00t's, 3079. You may remember my interview with Phr00t, about 3079, from earlier this year. Basically, 3079 is a super cool first-person space survival exploration game. Watch the trailer for 3079.
The bundle also includes a game called Intrusion 2…a game I've been following for some time. Intrusion is a run-and-gun platformer from VAP Games. The trailer will easily convince you that this bundle is worth the cost of admission, for this game alone.
The bundle also includes: Fortix 2, Aztaka, Dark Scavenger, and DEMISE: Ascension.
I'm not too familiar with those last four titles, but Fortix looks like a pretty interesting game. After watching the trailer, I'm not really sure what is going on…but it looks fun!
Aztaka is a side-scrolling action RPG that takes place hundreds of years ago in the South American rainforests. Then, the interstellar indie, Dark Scavenger, is a more traditional RPG, and these are probably the titles I'm the least excited about, but that is based solely on my taste for the genre itself, rather than the actual games, so we'll see!
DEMISE: Ascension is the game that caught me off guard the most. I had not heard about this title until I saw it in this bundle. At first the game appears to be kind of sloppy looking, with blocky figures that look out of the N64 generation of gaming. But, then I realized that within DEMISE is an entire game of exploration and fighting. There are a bunch of different ways to customize your protagonist, and a ton of areas to explore. Check out a brief walk-through video on YouTube, to get an idea what DEMISE is about.

Award shows matter, sort of. Winning an Oscar rarely generates a box office bounce. The Emmys don't make hit shows, they merely acknowledge them.
Handing out trophies for online video seems silly to a lot of people. How do you get to a list of a few dozen shows, when users upload hours of video every minute?
That fact alone makes events like the IAWTV Awards, held in Las Vegas at CES this week, even more important.
Foremost, it matters to the creators who toil all year, unrecognized. One of this year's big winners, Grace Helbig, of My Damn Channel's Daily Grace, went home thrilled with her wins for best host (taped) and hosted series (taped):
"Being recognized in an industry that's becoming more and more saturated with clever, interesting and beautiful work means a lot," she said.
"Especially because half of the videos I make I think, 'this is the dumbest thing I've ever done.' Maybe dumb is the new black."
The best part of the IAWTV Awards is seeing how much talent there is in the space. Helbig's acceptance speech, where she thanked "her family blah blah…" along with God, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, showed she could be funny in any setting. The same goes for the presenters, including Husbands star and co-writer Brad "Cheeks" Bell, My Drunk Kitchen's Hannah Hart, the Nerdist's Chris Hardwick, among others, all of whom executed banter with aplomb.
The big winner was Squaresville, a comedy from web series mainstay Matt Enlow. Last year, Felicia Day's The Guild rightly took home the bulk of the awards. I've been interviewing web series creators since 2009, and the single most cited inspiration for producers has been The Guild, no question. It made sense for the IAWTV to recognize web TV's most enduring franchise and Day herself, who continues to support indie creators. Looking at the clips at this year's awards, even I was surprised how often she turns up.
But it was time to pass the torch, and Squaresville is a worthy recipient. Exquisite in visual and narrative style, Squaresville nabbed the big award of the night, for Best Comedy, in addition to writing (comedy) and ensemble.
And that isn't to say Day has lost her relevance. A number of last night's winners, including Sean Becker (directing, comedy and non-fiction), Jeff Lewis (male performance, comedy) and Teal Sherer (female performance, comedy), are Guild participants. Day herself won for best writing (non-fiction; and kudos to the Academy for recognizing that "reality" is written!).
The full list of winners includes a number of industry darlings, most of whom aren't household names but have been working in web television for years.
Congratulations to all the winners — and, even more, all the nominees!

More Academic Excrement Flushed Away: State University of New York at Buffalo Law School Announces Faculty Downsizing
40 comments:

Buffalo is an economic dead zone within a dead zone. Their biggest thrills out that way are Wegmans and Wal-Mart. Kodak is in bankruptcy, etc.ReplyDelete
After 3 years, the total bill for someone in-state (tuition only) will be $60k. Out of state graduates will have incurred 33x3 or about $100k. Again, this is tuition expense only and does not count living and other necessary expenses during that time, nor any undergrad debt, of course.
It's too much.
If they are placing barely over 50% of grads into bona fide legal jobs, that means the rest are screwed. And of that 50% in legal jobs, how many are good ones? Probably only 10% or less.
This does not justify the time and money spent.
New York is a cesspool of too many law schools and a super-saturated, divided, stratified, and highly cut-throat legal market. A market that is declining as well as is the legal landscape in general.
Going here is not a good idea. In fact, it's a very bad one.

These worthless parasites and leaches who create ZERO wealth and who add NOTHING to society are going to get what's coming to them. This is only the beginning.
Too many people in this country collectively decided they could be an analyst, professional service provider, support staff, HR person, etc. These positions only exist if there's wealth being created in the first place. They ride on and profit off of wealth created by others.
A market correction has been in order for a long time. You can't ignore the immutable laws of supply and demand for too long. I, for one, await in gleeful anticipation for the time when these worthless vile academics are forced to produce and create value. When the economy is cratering, we don't need more than one gay diversity women's oppression diversity inclusion space green drone legal and ethnic studies professor.

Bingo. White collar service professionals can only prosper when their is economic growth in the first instance. Lawyers/Accountants/Consultants/Financial Managers can't "create" wealth or meaningful jobs because they aren't producing anything unique. They just feed off of growth by collecting fees. The "creators" (tech, pharma, energy, industry, etc.) are the forces of economic growth. They are building and making stuff that change lives and society. Lawyers are actually worse than other white collar professionals because for the most part we run the federal and state governments and draw public salaries or bill states for our "services." Look at David Samson (attorney) in NJ. His firm billed NJ Dept. of Transportation MILLIONS of dollars because he is buddies with Christie (attorney). Your tax dollars hard at work.Delete

If only 52% managed to get real legal jobs, this is a serious flashing Red Flag. It used to be, historically, that after 10 or so years, half of a graduating class or so would no longer be practicing law.ReplyDelete
Now, you have roughly half the class, starting, being able to secure a job in law. What will the percentage remaining be in 10 years?
It doesn't bode well.
So, in reality: What is the value of a law degree today in light of the above. Close to zero? Or negative. I'd go with the latter because of the current tuition levels and current and likely job prospects.

Rochester New York is midway between Syracuse Law Sewer and Buffalo Toilet and the University of Rochester has one of the best Medical Schools in America and the #15 ranked MBA program in the world. University of Rochester once was contemplating opening up a law school but their better judgment decided against it. If the University of Rochester opened up a law school then it would diminish its World Class reputation and be in the same bottom of the barrel league as next door Syracuse and Buffalo Universities. Today opening up a law program is like offering a PhD in Basket Weaving or a PhD in Interior Design. It cheapened the overall reputation of an institute.ReplyDelete

Hey, Buffalo is still more highly rated than Santa Clara!ReplyDelete
Hell, even Mentally Deranged Ass-Hat Brian Leiter agrees that this toilet should be reducing its faculty. Look at his March 18, 2014 entry entitled "Buffalo offers retirement incentives to faculty over 55. Here is the entire text of the rodent's piece:
"...and eight accept, bringing the size of the full-time faculty from 48 down to 40. The school is also shrinking its class size slightly. Seems like sensible responses to the current economic climate for legal education."
What kind of a dolt would even consider attending an ABA-accredited dung pit that has an Idi Amin doppelganger as dean?!?! After all, who wouldn't want to take classes from an ass-wipe who resembles the deceased Ugandan dicTTTaTTTor?!
Take a look at Mutua's faculty bio:
"Makau Mutua is dean, SUNY Distinguished Professor and the Floyd H. and Hilda L. Hurst Faculty Scholar at SUNY Buffalo Law School. He teaches international human rights, international business transactions and international law. He was educated at the University of Nairobi, the University of Dar-es-Salaam and Harvard Law School. Mutua is a vice president of the American Society of International Law and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
In 2002-03, while on sabbatical in Kenya, Mutua chaired the Task Force on the Establishment of a Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation Commission, which recommended a truth commission for Kenya. He also was a delegate to the National Constitutional Conference, which produced a contested draft constitution for Kenya."
Also, it appears that the bastard's wife $omehow ended up on the faculty at this trash heap. I'll bet that her job is safe. From her profile:
"Athena Mutua received her B.A. from Earlham College, her J.D. and M.A. from American University, and an LL.M. from Harvard Law School. She writes in the areas of critical race and feminist legal theory."
Yes, writing obscure articles about critical race theory and feminist legal issues is really sticking it to the man, right?!?! Yet "legal educators" claim that they turned down big money in order to teach law, i.e. financially rape students. In the end, that is a garbage assertion from thieves looking to justify their vile actions.

$1 trillion student loan debt widens US wealth gapReplyDelete
"At the other end of the spectrum is Zbylut, an accountant-turned-attorney in Glendale, Calif. He's been chipping away at nearly $160,000 in student debt since graduating in 2005 from law school at Loyola University in Chicago. Now 48, the tax attorney estimates he could have $150,000 to $200,000 in a 401(k) had the money he's paid toward loans gone there."
"I'm sitting here in traffic. I've got a Mercedes behind me and an Audi in front of me and I'm thinking, 'What did they do that I didn't do?'" Zbylut said by cellphone from his Chevrolet. He's been turned down twice for the type of mortgage he needs to buy a home big enough for himself, the fiancee he would have married already if not for his debts and her 10-year-old son."
Meanwhile, the students are going into six-figure debt so law professors can teach 2-4 hours a week, get summers off and go on paid year-long sabbaticals. That is just fucked up.

Yes, the ABA is corrupt!Delete
The ABA just proposed to officially change the accreditation requirement so law schools can accept up to 10% of their class WITHOUT REQUIRING THOSE STUDENTS TAKE THE LSAT!
Rutgers got busted for admitting students who did not take the LSAT, but took the ACTs or something.
This reminds me of something: way back in 1998, Citi group violated the Glass-Steagall Act (that disallowed depositer banks from investing in securities) . To accommodate Shitty bank - which was to require an enormous taxpayer funded bailout 10 years later - Clinton had Glass-Steagall repealed. Too big to fail was born. Except of course, that Citi bank did just fail another stress test by the feds.
So, let the ABA erode admissions requirements to bailout law schools. Ultimately, the law schools will fail as their less and less qualified students fail in the marketplace. The failure will be larger and more disruptive than it might have been otherwise.
10% with no LSAT is arbitrary. If other tests - such as the GMAT or ACT or SAT - are adequate measures of aptitude, why require the LSAT of any prospective law student? Indeed, a 10% *admissions* cap doesn't prevent everyone and anyone from applying with no LSAT. And if you ever read a bond rating release on a law school you will notice that selectivity and apparent demand is used in rating law school bond debt. That measure is a ration of applications-to-admits. The ABA is manipulating the system. They're desperate.

I went to grad school at UB and am familiar with the law school and the UB community generally. I left my doctoral program to attend law school (elsewhere) because the entire environment is uninspiring, and makes you feel like you're living in an airport of a communistic block country. Add in the bad weather, and it makes for a horrible experience. Glad I left. The economy stinks in the Buffalo area. last time I checked, there was not a single Fortune 500 company in Buffalo. That should speak volumes. Albany and Buffalo are off the beaten track with respect to New York law schools. UB law is much more local in scope. You're just not going to be able to compete effectively for jobs in NYC. Albany Law may have it slightly better due to the government jobs. But the bottom line is there is a preference for graduates of NYC law schools when it comes to NYC law firm hiring. Go to the law firm websites yourself and search under law school. I'm not saying you won't find some UB grads, but you will not likely find many or any for that matter. UB is an uninspiring, depressing place to study - law or otherwise. I'd recommend anyone attend elsewhere.ReplyDelete
This is just the start. Soon they will begin involuntary layoffs. The people running universities, the president, provost, chancellors, whatever, are businessmen first. The brass doesn't give a shit about academic freedom. They care about the balance sheet, and the drain lawprofs put on it. The admins have already seen how an adjunct can teach undergrad classes for $1500 a semester just as well as a $235k salaried "professor." The cost savings of such a switch are enormous. Now the lawprofs will see there is no honor amongst thieves.ReplyDelete

Have we thought about getting a petition going to the Justice Department? The purpose would be for the agency to investigate the schools for misrepresenting and fraud (its employment and starting salary numbers to students.) If the department finds that they did, they could be fined.
Also, what about a letter writing campaign to each state bar? If an administrator and/or dean is a lawyer, we could file a grievance under the licensee's jurisdiction, accusing them of violating the state bar ethic rule that prohibits false and misleading advertisements. They have to be lawyers, but if they are, they could potentially be disbarred.Replies

The Buffalo News published a story from Melinda Miller, which was entitled "UB plans cuts to law school enrollment and faculty ranks" – on March 18, 2014. Check out this opening:
"The University at Buffalo Law School plans to trim the number of incoming students and faculty members for the next school year.
The school will reduce the number of first-year students from the current 200 to 225 to fewer than 200, and will cut the number of faculty members from 48 to 40 through retirement incentives, UB spokesman John DellaContrada confirmed Tuesday.
UB's Law School faces the same issues as other law schools across the country: fewer applicants and uncertain job prospects for graduates.
Makau Mutua, the dean of UB's Law School, declined to comment.
UB's law school tied for 100th place, with four other schools, in the current U.S. News and World Report's ranking of some 200 law schools across the country.
UB, with an enrollment of 650 full- and part-time law students, reported a drop in applications, from 1,894 in 2010 to 1,146 last year.
The American Bar Association has noted a trend in decreasing law school enrollment. What's more, law schools have produced far more graduates than the job market can absorb in recent years. In 2012, one law job was available for every two new graduates, according to Forbes magazine.
The track record for UB graduates echoes that statistic: Of 209 graduates in 2012, 109 reported landing a full-time job that required passing the bar exam, the ABA reported."
Yeah, sure SUNY at Buffalo Law Sewer "planned" to trim their enrollment – and I "decided" not to ask Rosario Dawson to dig her nails into my back last night. Get real, bitches.
Notice that Caca Mutua declined to comment for this news source. Apparently, he did not wish to reiterate his supreme, i.e. false, confidence that the school's future is bright. Good choice that time, ass-wipe. Of course, you shouldn't have uttered that nonsense to Business First anyway.
Scroll down two paragraphs:
"According to the ABA, last year's first-year enrollment in law programs at 202 ABA-accredited schools was 39,675, the lowest level in nearly 40 years and a rapid decline from the all-time high just three years earlier of 52,488."

Nando, keep up the good work. I have to say however, that I am unhappy about the latest LSAT administration numbers. I read somewhere that they are stabilizing. I would have preferred to see a further plunge. We need to do more to get the message out and keep the applicant pool shrinking and see at least half of these diploma mills close their doors.ReplyDeleteReplies

How many law schools do we need? The answer is certainly a number between 0 and 200.Delete
When one of us finds the time we should write a vision statement, of what we thing legal education should really look like.

I say there should be a moratorium on new bar admissions until there is a true shortage of lawyers. No new lawyers until every barred attorney who wants a job can find one. After that, law schools should only be allowed to admit a total of students equavalent to no more than 75% of the projected number of openings for lawyers in the projected year of graduation. The AM A does something like that. It only allows fewer graduates than available residencies, ensuring a shortage of doctors and keeping salaries high.Delete
Today, JD Junkyard bulldog "John Bungsolaphagus" posted an insightful thread, under the headline "Good Bye Doc Review: Here come the robot lawyers." In his words:
"Soon doc review will just be part of tales of the glory days of lawland yore as the devils continue to make unconnected victims of the lawland scams even more marginalized. God bless!"
Look at James O'Toole's piece in CNN Money, from March 28, 2014. The article was entitled "Here come the robot lawyers." Read this uplifting opening:
The law profession is being reshaped by new automation technologies that allow law firms to complete legal work in a fraction of the time and with far less manpower. Think IBM's "Jeopardy!"-winning computer Watson - practicing law.
"Watson the lawyer is coming," said Ralph Losey, a legal technology expert at the law firm Jackson Lewis. "He won't come up with the creative solutions, but when it comes to the regular games that lawyers play, he'll kill them."
That means potentially huge cost savings for clients, though it's not so promising for law school graduates looking for work.
The good news for lawyers is that no one thinks the profession can be automated entirely. But lots of legal work is already being computerized by some firms, including the drafting of simple contracts and the search for evidence in reams of documents.
Winston & Strawn is among the law firms that have adopted legal review technology known as predictive coding. Lawyers mark up relevant information in a subset of documents and feed that to a computer program that uses it as a basis for analyzing the entire data set. The software then surfaces potentially relevant evidence for review by lawyers.
In a recent study, the firm found that its software was more effective than human reviewers in surfacing relevant documents, and helped it complete the review process in about a third of the time.
"I don't think that the significance of this has caught on yet," said John Rosenthal, a partner at Winston & Strawn. "Probably less than 5% of the complex cases in the civil system are using these technologies."
Only cockroaches such as Joshua Ray Adams - himself a "higher education" rape victim - are vile enough to still encourage others to take the law school plunge. Will clients and firms go with cheaper, more efficient technology - or with humans that require benefits and health insurance?

It is easy to see that TTR gets so much overwhelming traffic and could easily be sold for a profit, given the exposure etc.ReplyDelete
That may not happen, but the amount of traffic, and any and all comments, sure as hell turn up in google search results and so:
Roger Waters is wrong and a Baby Boomer geration quasi Intellectual and artistic crank, just as the late American philosophy professor might have said and in so many words :)
Allan Bloom basically said that Mick Jagger is a piece of shit, and so maybe is Roger Waters and in a logical sense.
The song Brain Damage was inspired by the anger or nuttiness of Waters, who thought the keep off the grass signs were for humans :)
But maybe the keep off the grass signs were intended for dogs mainly :)
Oh the Baby Boomers resurrected usury with Mick Jagger as their champion and Billy Joel buying mansions and Roger Waters being short sighted any myopic and incredibly rich.
The Brain Damage song is an absolutely overwhelmingly American iconic and cultural song to this very day and IS culture for the Baby Boomer EVIL hippie Woodstock generation whom it seems were bent upon placing their younger s in the chains of debt slavery and with all their commercial music behind it

I do not believe that the LSAT administration is telling the full story when they claim LSAT applications are stabilizing. They must be somehow manipulating the numbers. The Real Estate industry uses the same ploy in regards to home sales and prices and always claim it is the time to buy because things are stabilizing. Nando's blog received over 2 million views so with this information out there, I just cannot believe the LSATS administration's claims. Would you believa cara companies projections of great sales if ' Consumer Guide published ratings that said their models are all lemons knowing how much Consumer Guide subscriptions are out there? The Legal industry is now indirectly trying to discredit Nando but every Dean Cockroach and the LSAT Administration have Nando personally on their minds. Nando is destroying them.ReplyDelete

The northern Alberta town of Slave Lake is partially in ruins after a devastating, fast-moving wildfire caught community officials off guard.
The damage is catastrophic. Hundreds of homes, churches and businesses have been destroyed. So too has the town hall, library and radio station. The power is out, cellphone service has been spotty, and 7,000 residents were forced to flee through a single road, the only highway open as fires rage on all sides.

Romney battles plutocrat image
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — Mitt Romney said at Thursday's debate he'll release his tax returns in April — but the booing that drew suggests Republican primary voters don't appear willing to wait.
It's not that they have problems with his record at Bain Capital — Romney has effectively neutralized many of those lines by calling them attacks on free enterprise out of step with the GOP.
Story Continued Below
But the combination of the tax return issue, reports that his former firm parked assets in Cayman tax shelters and his own rhetorical missteps is beginning to paint him as a plutocrat rather than "someone who's lived in the real streets of America," as he described himself at Thursday's debate.
The tax returns delay provides the opening for growing suspicion and unease about the candidate who's been leading the polls here.
"It's a symptom of the bigger class warfare attack, and thus, subject to demagoguery," said Florida GOP operative Rick Wilson, who worked on Rudy Giuliani's 2008 campaign. "They ought to have released all the tax stuff a year ago, had the fracas and popped the bubble early."
Romney made a stronger commitment on the issue than ever before — pledging at Thursday's debate to release up to several years of returns once his latest are filed. But the boos and jeers he drew as he tried to explain why he was delaying until then suggested the issue is more than just the reporters' obsession Romney's aides have painted it as.
As CNN moderator John King noted, Romney's refusal to commit puts him at odds with the precedent set by his father, then-Michigan Gov. George Romney, during his 1968 presidential run.
And it marked yet another shift in Romney's explanation of when and how many years of his tax returns he'll release.
Asked if he would follow his father's example and release a dozen years' tax returns, Romney hedged.
"Maybe," he said Thursday night, as the crowd laughed. "You know, I don't know how many years I'll release."
The laugher quickly turned to boos and jeers.
"I'll take a look at what the, what our documents are and I'll release multiple years," Romney said. "I don't know how many years, and, but I'll be happy to do that."
Gingrich pounced.
"If there's anything in there that's gonna help us lose the election, then we should know it before the nomination," he said.

The Test of the Turkish Banking Sector
*Source: Hürriyet Daily News ©
The Test of the Turkish Banking Sector
The status of İşbank has caused some confusion over the years due to the pervasive belief that it is state owned. This confusion is likely due to the connection of the bank with the Republican People's Party (CHP); however the bank's major shareholder is actually its pension fund with a share of 40.15 percent. Another 31.76 percent of the shares are in free float and 60 percent of this portion is held by foreign investors. The remaining 28.09 percent of the bank is owned by the CHP, the major opposition party in Turkey.
Although as a shareholder, the CHP has voting rights, dividend payments to the shares are only made to the Turkish Historical Society and Turkish Language Association, two institutions founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in early 1930s. As such it appears that the CHP does not have any direct financial benefits from İşbank in support of its political activities.
The relationship between the CHP and İşbank has attracted serious criticism, at least from the government and its supporters. President Erdoğan's adviser Yiğit Bulut made a highly controversial comment, saying that the link between the bank and CHP must be broken and that the bank should be returned to people.
This was not the first time such a call has been made. In late February, the government whistleblower Fuat Avni posted tweets about the possible takeover of İşbank by the government, as was the case with Bank Asya in May last year. The stock price fell by 3 percent after Avni's predictions, and following Bulut's comments, it dropped by another 5 percent.
The Turkish banking sector has been monitored closely by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA) since 2000. In fact, Turkey managed to avoid the 2008-2009 global financial crisis due its simplistic structure and BRSA regulations.
İşbank is listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange and as such, it is an entity with obligations to disclose its financial statements and make special case announcements, in accordance with the Capital Market Board's (CMB) corresponding communiqué and any other material events and casesrequired to be publicly disclosed according to CMB and the Borsa İstanbul regulations.
Any illegal action taken by İşbank would as such be closely watched and bound to be held accountable by an 'independent' legal body.
According to the banking regulations and political parties law, the CHP is strictly forbidden from making any money from the shares it holds. If either İşbank or the CHP fails to adhere to these legal regulations than the party or both parties involved in the offense would be legally accountable.
Although there have been allegations against İşbank or fuel smuggling – these allegations have yet to be substantiated and appears to be simply rumor. As such we are potentially entering a scenario where neither the CHP nor İşbank have violated any legal regulations on the sector, and yet the bank may still be seized by government-controlled BRSA. The issues are as follows:
Firstly, discrediting a publicly traded company is a serious global financial crime.
Secondly, seizing a bank the size of İşbank could initiate a bank run. To explain, in the late 1990s, the savings deposits of banks were insured by the government. Despite this guarantee, the depositors of Demirbank simultaneously withdrew their deposits from the struggling bank, and thus accelerated the collapse of the bank. Later, alongside economic reforms, deposit insurance was limited to a small portion of the total deposits and this remains the current practice. As such, although it is a small chance, seizing İşbank could be highly risky for the banking sector as a whole.
Finally, especially since the early 2000s, Turkey was not known for offering a high savings rate. The economy depended upon construction and private consumption. Since the global financial crisis in 2008, major central banks decreased their policy rates to 0%, even entering negative rates in some cases, increasing their money supplies by asset purchases.
Simultaneously, the borrowing cost came down sharply for most developing countries, including Turkey. Cheap and abundant funds spurred private consumption. According to World Bank data, Turkey's savings ratio was 15% in 2014, a rate that is even lower than the US, where 18 cents of every $1 income is saved.
The US is able to maintain that level of consumption thanks to its huge capital markets. The Turkish capital market however is nowhere near the size of its US counterpart, and an average Turkish citizen saves even less than an average American citizen. In order to maintain its consumption habit, Turkey needs the savings of other countries, therefore a healthy capital market.
In that sense İşbank is in a very critical position. The Bank Asya takeover did not backfire per se, however İşbank is totally a different case. The bank is publicly traded and 60% of the stocks traded in the stock exchange are owned by foreign investors, including Lazard Asset Management, Blackrock Fund Advisors and JP Morgan Asset Management according to FT data.
The takeover of the bank can negatively affect the perception of Turkey abroad. It would be very unlikely for financial researchers Standard & Poor's to make a similar announcement as they did for Bank Asya case: "We view this as an isolated incident and not a harbinger of systematic distress in the banking sector or a determined politicization of Turkey's regulatory institutions."
Thus, although the takeover of İşbank is theoretically possible, even based on fair grounds – the seizure may have detrimental effects. If the allegations regarding fuel smuggling prove to be valid then there certainly needs to be legal action, however if they are false then the takeover is a gamble with a next to zero probability of winning.
In the scenario where the Bank's connection with the CHP is the only grounds for a takeover, then risking the whole country's banking system, its reputation and its financial survival is surely a misadventure.

So who is up for a trip down memory lane? I know I am.
For most of their NBA career, San Antonio Spurs legend David Robinson and Utah Jazz legend Karl Malone were chasing that allusive NBA title to top their stellar basketball careers. For Robinson, he captured his first in 1999 and second in 2003 while Malone never felt the joy of being an NBA champion despite going to the NBA finals.

T-Mobile is the multi-national carrier subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG that serves iPhone and iPad owners, among others, in Europe and the United States.
T-Mobile US, Inc. is the American operating entity of T-Mobile International AG. The fourth-largest carrier in America, T-Mobile U.S. — NYSE: TMUS — is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. The company has 49.1 million customers across the United States and has annual revenues about $24.42 billion.
T-Mobile's roots go back to the mid-1990s, when VoiceStream Wireless PCS was created by Western Wireless Corp. The business spun off in the late 1990s, and T-Mobile acquired it and renamed it in 2002. T-Mobile developed a niche for itself with the Danger Hiptop, rebranded as the T-Mobile Sidekick — an early smartphone with a slideout screen and a QWERTY keyboard that proved popular with wireless users interested in messaging, email and other online access. Microsoft acquired Danger in 2008 then in 2009 its servers suffered a massive outage that made many Sidekick users lose their data. T-Mobile lost customers in droves.
Rival wireless company AT&T attempted to acquire T-Mobile in 2011 in a $39 billion stock and cash offer. After facing heavy resistance from the United States government, AT&T withdrew its offer. T-Mobile then merged with MetroPCS Communications, then the nation's sixth largest wireless carrier. The combined company, T-Mobile US, began trading on the New York Stock Exchange as TMUS.
Since then, T-Mobile has embarked on an aggressive strategy to modernize and expand its wireless network. The company operates a wireless network that communicates using Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), the same system used by AT&T and operated by most wireless carriers worldwide.
T-Mobile's network operates on different radio frequencies than AT&T's, which affects both the area of coverage for its cell phone towers and how well its signal penetrates buildings. As a result, T-Mobile customers often complain of network dropouts or lost signals, especially inside buildings. To correct this, in 2014 the company bought unused 700 MHz spectrum from rival Verizon and plans to begin to deploy it by the end of the year.
T-Mobile became the last of the "big four" U.S. carriers to get the iPhone, which it finally did in April, 2013. Since then T-Mobile has rolled out support for the iPad as well, even offering free limited bandwidth for iPads and other 4G LTE-capable tablets used by T-Mobile's postpaid customers.
T-Mobile's aggressive "Uncarrier" marketing efforts have branded the company as a rebel in the U.S. telecommunications market. T-Mobile's CEO John Legere carefully cultivates that image, using brash language on stage and occasionally staging publicity-enhancing antics like crashing AT&T's private party at CES 2014.
The bottom line, however, is that T-Mobile has not only grabbed headlines, but begun to significantly re-shape the way carriers do business in the U.S.

Had to share with everyone a few photos from Glas Associates, a local builder in my area that does some incredible architectural design. The exteriors don't really qualify as Craftsman but the interior work could definitely pass as such. Just look at the beautiful exposed beam ceilings and stone fireplaces. I'll definitely be getting an estimate from these guys once we know everything we want in our home.
So tell me…can you dig it? I've gotta look into what the cost would be to include some exposed beams in our dream home. I know it'll depend on the intricacy, but what would the range be? Any idea?

Mount Leinster take Carlow's first ever Leinster hurling crown
Oulart-the-Ballagh's wayward shooting proves costly as they lose fourth final in a row

Mount Leinster Rangers 0-11 Oulart the Ballagh 0-8
With the season's last breath, a closing verse that sang once again of the old game's capacity to surprise and delight. Mount Leinster Rangers are Leinster champions, the first senior provincial title-holders in all of Carlow's hurling history.
In a game where they wore specially-commissioned black jerseys to avoid a colour clash, they turned the grey of a winter's afternoon into a life-affirming kaleidoscope.
Those of us who came to Kilkenny expecting to see a long-overdue coronation for Oulart left having experienced something far more visceral. This felt like an awakening, a flag planted in the ground.
From the moment the Borris side emerged to a roar that shook the stand, this was more than a club reaching the summit. It was a county standing up for itself. Against condescension. Against disdain. Against league structures and cosy cartels and snooty delegates in far off county boards.
They won here because they hurled better and dug deeper. When the game needed battling for, they battled for it. When the game needed scores to be taken, they took them. The team was heroic but in centre-back Richard Coady they had an impenetrable barrier and in corner-forward Denis Murphy they had a marksman whose aim was true.
On most days, that's enough to give anyone a chance. On a day when the opposition is stuck to the ground and can't get anything going, it's a ticket to Valhalla. Throw in a dash of good old-fashioned crankiness at having been written off and you get what happened here.
"They were overwhelming favourites," said Rangers manager Tom Mullally afterwards, "and that kind of thing boils up no matter how much experience you have behind you. We're not under any illusions. We knew we were underdogs and while we mightn't have played great hurling today, our job was to win the game. That's what we came to do and that's what we did.
Melting pot
"When we started we wanted to get into the dressing-room still in the game. And we felt if it was in the melting-pot with ten minutes to go that Oulart would start asking themselves questions. That's only natural. But we had to have our players ask questions of them and they did."
Job One took a little bit of doing and MLR were grateful to get to the break only 0-5 to 0-3 behind. Oulart were having the better of things around the middle third but their shooting meant they got poor value for their toil. On a calm day they had eight wides in the first half and dropped three balls into Frank Foley's chest.
Des Mythen and Rory Jacob landed a couple of smart scores from distance and corner-back Eoin Moore launched one from his own 65 but otherwise it was wayward stuff. Some shots were snatched at, some were careless. It seemed inconceivable that they could freeze for a fourth Leinster final in a row but it seemed that was the case.
"Well I wouldn't say they were nervous," said manager Martin Storey as he tried to make sense of it all afterwards. "But I would just say they were feeling pressure," said manager Martin Storey. "There's a difference between nervous. . . nervous is something you get when you're a young fella and you haven't been there before. But pressure is a thing that's in the back of your head somewhere: 'Jesus Christ, let's hope this doesn't go wrong again'.
"And that can come from the back of your head to the front of your head and it can come out in your hurling and it can come out in your performance. But, like, I mean, there's no excuses – we didn't perform well enough to win the game."
But in the second half Mount Leinster did exactly that. They shot comfortably, they shot precisely. Three Murphy frees were all they had to show for the first half and he kept his radar set throughout the second.
His first from play drew them level with 20 minutes to go and another free a minute later sent them into a lead that, incredible, they didn't surrender.
Diarmuid Byrne came forward and nailed a sideline cut. Paul Coady split the posts twice from distance. All Oulart had in response was a Rory Jacob free and a late Mythen point.
In the end it was comfortable. A comfortable win for a Carlow side in a Leinster final.
MOUNT LEINSTER RANGERS: F Foley; M Doyle, G Doyle, G Kelly; Diarmuid Byrne (0-1, sideline cut), R Coady, E Coady; Derek Byrne, P Nolan; P Coady (0-2), E Byrne, D Phelan; D Murphy (0-8, six frees); J Coady, E Doyle. Subs: HP O'Byrne for J Coady (45 ), J Hickey for E Doyle (53 ), W Hickey for P Coady (58 mins).

Trekking Socks
I finished my mom's trekking socks a while ago, but due to the missing battery charger, just got around to taking some pics. Boy, these went fast! I used a pattern by Ann Budd that was free to Interweave Knits subscribers on their website, but now I can't find the link! My mom has bigger feet than I do, so I think if I make them for me, I might go down a needle size, but I love the way they came out. This was my first time using the Trekking, and I can't say I loved these particular colors, but I think my mom will. I haven't washed them yet, so I hope they will soften up.
Pattern: Ann Budd's Diagonal Ribbed Socks (Interweave Knits, Winter 04)
Yarn: Trekking XXL, color Plum/Cinnamon 101 from here
Needles: Clover bamboo dpns US 2 (2.75 mm)

Western Europe Paris Reviews

When traveling through Western Europe, the train is the absolute hands down best way to get around. Be sure to get a Eurail pass for your travels, as you will save TONS of money this way. Plus, it's a great way to get out and enjoy the country. It's one thing to be in these awesome cities, but the countryside is breathtaking! This is especially true of Spain, France, and Italy. If you're traveling on a budget, try to book your hostel a week in advance to ensure that you get a good one. Also, supermarkets are a great place for a cheap meal. Just buy whatever it is that you want to eat and take it back to the hostel - most of the hostels in Europe have a kitchen you can use to cook. Also, get a guide book so you can read up on the places you want to see - these books are great for identifying sites, finding places to eat, hostels, entertainment, getting around, etc. I hope this is a good start to your trip planning, but if you have more questions you can contact me directly!

WAM February 11-12 Tom Gordon and Rob Greenwood
MUN has been holding these Engagment Framework sessions on particular themes for the past several months and last week they convened a session on Engaging in Creative Arts and Culture. You can see my interest was piqued.
Tom Gordon and Danielle Irvine co-chaired the event. Rob Greenwood is the executive director for the Office of Engagement and the Leslie Harris Centre of Regional Policy and Development.
I asked Rob to describe the engagement frameworks, why they were established and what they were designed to accomplish.
