I've got an offer at a large IP boutique, but they don't have a NALP form so I don't know what their first year associate salary is like.Is it appropriate to ask the recruiting coordinator this question? Moreover, is it ever appropriate to ask how large the summer associate class will be and what percentage of summer associates are given full-time offers?
If you're evaluating multiple offers, you definitely need to ask the percentage offered question. It makes a big difference if it's 100%, 90%, or 50%.

New Year is just around the corner. 2011 is about to over. And of course New Year is also the official Japanese New Year which is also on the 1st of January!

Japanese New Year (正月 shōgatsu) is one of the most important festivals.
Due to the importance of the holiday and the preparations required, the preceding days are quite busy, particularly the day before, known as Omisoka.

At midnight on December 31, Buddhist temples all over Japan ring their bells a total of 108 times to symbolize the 108 human sins in Buddhist belief, and to get rid of the 108 worldly desires regarding sense and feeling in every Japanese citizen. A major attraction is The Watched Night bell, in Tokyo. Japanese believe that the ringing of bells can rid off their sins during the previous year. After they are done ringing the bells, they celebrate and feast on soba noodles.

Most businesses shut down from January 1 to January 3, and families typically gather to spend the days together.

January 1 is a very auspicious day, best started by viewing the new year's first sunrise (hatsu-hinode), and traditionally believed to be representative for the whole year that has just commenced. Therefore, the day is supposed be full of joy and free of stress and anger, while everything should be clean and no work should be done.

On New Year's Day, Japanese people have a custom of giving money to children. This is known as otoshidama (お年玉?). It is handed out in small decorated envelopes called 'pochibukuro,' similar to Chinese red envolopes and to the Scottish handsel. In the Edo period large stores and wealthy families gave out a small bag of mochi and a Mandarin orange to spread happiness all around. The amount of money given depends on the age of the child but is usually the same if there is more than one child so that no one feels slighted. It is not uncommon for amounts greater than 10,000¥($120) to be given.

Hatsuyume (初夢) is the Japanese word for the first dream had in the new year. Traditionally, the contents of the dream would foretell the luck of the dreamer in the ensuing year. In Japan, the night of December 31 was often passed without sleeping, thus the hatsuyume was often the dream seen the night of January 1. This explains why January 2 (the day after the night of the "first dream") is known as Hatsuyume in the traditional Japanese calender.
It is considered to be particularly good luck to dream of Mount Fuji, a hawk, and an eggplant. This belief has been in place since the early Edo Period but there are various theories regarding the origins as to why this particular combination was considered to be auspicious. One theory suggests that this combination is lucky because Mount Fuji is Japan's highest mountain, the hawk is a clever and strong bird, and the word for eggplant (nasu or nasubi 茄子) suggests achieving something great (nasu 成す). Another theory suggests that this combination arose because Mount Fuji, falconry, and early eggplants were favorites of the shogun Tokugawa Ieyesu.

A beautiful young maiden who was so horrified at the thought that a man might fancy her that she prayed for ugliness.
Zap! Suddenly she was hideous. Her father took one look and packed her off to the first nunnery. She was of course delighted — even when God rewarded her piety by making her beautiful again.
Originally a very popular Celtic Goddess (see BRIGIT), she was 'borrowed' and given a new identity to promote the Christian Faith. Unless it's a complete coincidence.

Two men shoot dog with crossbow
The men are also accused of stealing a car
The men are also accused of stealing a car
Police have charged two men for shooting a dog with a crossbow and stealing a car in Pennsylvania.
Samuel Fisher (pictured, left), 20, of Bethel, and Niven Weaver, 19, of Lebanon, are facing charges related to theft, prohibited weapons and cruelty to animals.
The victim told police he heard his dogs barking late that night, so he checked outside. That's when he saw two men inside his daughter's car, who fled on foot when they were spotted. At some point, one of the victim's dogs was shot in the chest with a crossbow bolt.
State police apprehended Weaver at the scene, but Fisher got away by stealing the victim's truck. Fisher was arrested a few hours later at his residence, where police found him with a 9mm handgun and the stolen truck.
Authorities say they located the suspect's car near the victim's property.
Inside, they found a crossbow, a shotgun with the barrel sawed off and multiple firearms.

Pronounced: tuh-RET SIN-drohm

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a chronic disorder of the nervous system. It is a type of tic disorder, with motor and vocal tics. These tics are rapid, involuntary movements or sounds that occur repeatedly.
Many people with TS also have one or more of the following problems:
The exact cause of TS is unknown. However brain chemicals, called dopamine and serotonin, are most likely involved.
There may be a genetic link to TS, although some have no known family history.
TS is inherited through genes, which make up DNA.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Males are 3-4 times more likely to be affected. Other factors that may increase your chance of TS include:
Tics are the main symptoms of TS. To be TS, the tics must be involuntary and:
Tics will usually happen daily, range from mild-to-severe and change in type over time. They can occur suddenly and vary in the amount of time that they last. Tics may temporarily decrease with concentration or distraction. During times of stress and tension, they may occur more often.
Tics are divided into motor and vocal. The following are some common examples:
While tics may occur throughout life, but symptoms may improve during later teen years.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
The diagnosis of TS is usually made by the symptoms alone. Your doctor may order tests to rule out other medical conditions as the cause of the tics.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Education and therapy are usually parts of the treatment plan. In some cases, medications may be needed.
Learning about TS is a very important part of treatment. Education can also be helpful for your family, friends, and coworkers.
Therapy can also help you develop habits to help manage tics or other related symptoms. Types of therapy include:
In addition, relaxation, biofeedback, and exercise can reduce help to reduce stress.
Medication is not required in most cases. No medication works in all people with TS. If a doctor prescribes medication, there are usually strong side effects.
Medications that may be prescribed include:
There are no current guidelines to prevent TS.

For Chicago, this is the first time since the 2006-07 campaign that the Bulls will open the season against the reigning NBA champs. In that matchup on Oct. 31, 2006, Chicago defeated Miami 108-66 at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Other prominent games on this season's home schedule include: two visits from the Heat on Dec. 5 and March 9; the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 20; the Los Angeles Clippers on Jan. 24; the Brooklyn Nets on Feb. 13; the San Antonio Spurs on March 11; the Houston Rockets on March 13 and the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 17.
For the fourth consecutive season Chicago will see action on Christmas Day, as the Bulls travel to the Barclays Center to take on the Brooklyn Nets. The game, one of five that day in the NBA, will air nationally on ESPN at 11:00 a.m. (CT). It will also be the first contest between the two teams since they went seven games in the First Round of the 2013 NBA Playoffs.

I've been snooping their website (and 3com's, and google, and anything else I can think of) trying to find some hint that this problem has been reported before. It is very strange that such a complete screw up could still exist -- how can anybody be using Tigers in 1U or 2U cases if this problem is universal? I posted here half hoping to hear somebody say "Ah, you need to change XXX in the bios, you idiot". I'd even welcome the idiot part, if only I could get things to work. Still, it is completely reproducible on the Tigers we have, it has hit other Tiger users at Duke, some of whom posted here a month or two ago and finally gave up and replaced their 2460's with 2466's in sheer frustration (or so we suspect -- we only figured out the details I posted yesterday and haven't had time to verify that the problems are indeed the same) and it is a REAL problem. The 3c905 unfortunately is about 1 cm too tall to fit in a 2U case straight up if the metal backplate is taken off, although the ATI Rage actually will fit. I just registered (shudder, but what's a bit more SPAM in my already hi-cal email diet:-) at amdmb.com, which looks like a support forum for amd motherboard and will try a post there. It looks like it gets the attention of both AMD and Tyan engineers and may be faster than Tyan's support page to return something useful. People are (purportedly) SELLING cluster nodes with Tiger 2460's in a 1U or 2U chassis with a riser; it MUST work somehow, for some bios flash or configuration. If not and the Tiger 2460 has a dark secret (it doesn't, uhh, actually work in a 1-2U rackmount configuration, oops) well, I'm preparing a few flaming torches and oiling my pitchfork...unless of course Tyan makes it right. Very quickly -- this has cost us at least a month of potential productivity at this point, and looks to cost us at least a few days more. rgb -- Robert G.
