CARNOSAUR 2 Director Louis Morneau to Helm WOLFMAN Reboot, WEREWOLF
Really shooting for the moon here aren't they?Last month we reported that Universal hadnt given up the ghost on their Wolfman franchise and intended to reboot it as Werewolf. The reboot would reportedly have more in common with George Waggners original 1941 film The Wolf Man than last years film. Now Movieline (who broke the story about the reboot) is reporting that Universal has hired Louis Morneau to direct Werewolf. Who is Louis Morneau? Well, did you know that Joy Ride, the remake of The Hitcher, and Carnosaur all had sequels? Its true! And the man who directed those sequels, along with the 1999 Lou Diamond Phillips horror flick Bats, was Morneau. My interest in Werewolf just increased ten-fold.

Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
I love zombie movies. I don't care if it's a played-out genre, I love end-of-the-world cannibal apocalypse stuff, and much of the fun of it is imagining yourself if and when the zombies do come. It's like when RED DAWN came out, my friends would spend hours thinking up scenarios about what we'd do if the Russians parachuted into Houston. There's been so many riffs on the genre since Romero's original classic. But I've never seen one quite like this.
Latino Review's got the exclusive look at what looks to be Cuba's first horror film, and budget issues aside, it looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Zombie films have taken on the subject of immigration before - that's what's wonderful about zombie films, they make the best social commentary of any horror genre - but I don't think we've ever seen a zombie apocalypse shot inside Cuba before. If Fantastic Fest scores this movie, I'm all over it. Please, Fantastic Fest, score this movie.

The Academy Library to Archive Mondo Posters including New FRANKENSTEIN Poster by Drew Struzan
Heres the press release:
Beverly Hills, CA The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Margaret Herrick Library is partnering with the Austin-based Alamo Drafthouse theater chain to archive the companys growing collection of original film posters designed by contemporary graphic artists. The first group of the Alamo Drafthouses Mondo posters arriving at the Herrick will include the latest print, a poster for the classic horror film Frankenstein (1931), created by Drew Struzan.
The Alamo Drafthouse began producing limited-edition silkscreen posters in 2003. Mondo, the companys art boutique, now produces more than 120 posters annually, and through it prominent artists such as Martin Ansin, Shepard Fairey, Olly Moss, Tyler Stout and Ken Taylor are commissioned to create new art for classic films, as well as alternative posters for contemporary movies such as Inglourious Basterds, True Grit and Thor.
We are always seeking out the unusual, and the Mondo collection certainly fits the bill, said the Academys graphic arts librarian, Anne Coco. We are looking forward to working with the Alamo Drafthouse to ensure that its contribution to the art of movie posters will be around for future generations to appreciate.
This ongoing gift from the Alamo Drafthouse will be housed along with the Herricks existing collection of more than 38,000 movie posters. The posters in the librarys collection are stored in climate-controlled vaults, and are scanned and entered into the librarys online catalog, where they can be viewed by the public.
Were extremely grateful to the Academy for its interest in archiving Mondos poster collection, said Mondo Creative Director Justin Ishmael. Were fans of movie art, first and foremost, and to have our artists work archived alongside some of the classics of movie poster art is an incredible honor.
The Margaret Herrick Library poster collection includes a wide range of works created by noted graphic artists, such as the Stenberg brothers constructivist poster for Man with a Movie Camera and Wiktor Gorkas arresting poster for the Polish release of Cabaret. The library also holds all of the film posters designed by Saul Bass, including his groundbreaking key art for The Man with the Golden Arm.
Adam Green is Digging Up the Marrow - ShockTillYouDrop.com
Adam Green wants to explore a new medium: documentary filmmaking. While he has sat in the interviewee seat on a number of occasions for various docs, he has yet to direct one. That will change, however. He recently stated:
"Now is as good a time as any to also drop the news that my good friend (and my favorite artist of all time) Alex Pardee and I are working together on a documentary about 'monster art' that weve already begun production on. Weve been referring to the project as DIGGING UP THE MARROW- but dont expect too many other details on it for a while. Its a documentary so production is going to be spread out over a long time- but if you love genre based art and have often wondered what kind of reality an artists fantastical creature design comes from, I think youll find this project fascinating."

Treatment for cardiotoxicity dependent on type and severity of damage
DEAR MAYO CLINIC: My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago at age 58 and began treatment immediately. She's in remission now but recently found out she has cardiotoxicity, probably from the chemotherapy. What is this, and how is it treated?
ANSWER: Cardiotoxicity is damage to the heart caused by medication. Many kinds of drugs, including certain cancer treatment medications, may lead to heart damage. Treatment for cardiotoxicity depends on how the heart is affected and the severity of the damage.
Heart disease associated with chemotherapy is rare, and not all chemotherapy drugs carry the potential side effect of heart damage. But some chemotherapy drugs, as well as other medications used to treat cancer, may raise a person's risk of developing heart disease.
In breast cancer treatment, a commonly used chemotherapy drug that may result in cardiotoxicity is doxorubicin (Adriamycin). Trastuzumab (Herceptin), another common medication prescribed to people who have breast cancer, also may lead to cardiotoxicity. These drugs may cause heart damage by weakening the heart muscle, a condition known as cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy makes it harder for the heart to pump blood and deliver it to the rest of the body.
Damage to the heart from medications can range from mild to severe. In some cases, the damage may only be temporary. In others, it can be permanent. If the damage to the heart is very minor with no symptoms, then no treatment may be necessary. If the damage is more severe, then it may be helpful to take medications to lessen the amount of work the heart has to do.
Treatment of cardiomyopathy often involves a combination of medications. They may include angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE, inhibitors. ACE inhibitors work by dilating blood vessels to lower blood pressure, improve blood flow and decrease the heart's workload. Another group of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers has many of the same benefits. They may be an alternative for people who cannot tolerate ACE inhibitors. Other medications such as beta blockers to slow the heart beat and lower blood pressure, and diuretics, or water pills, to lower the amount of fluid in the body, also may be useful for treating a weakened heart muscle.
Certain types of chemotherapy drugs such as fluorouracil, or 5-FU, can lead to sudden coronary artery spasm and an acute heart attack. Other drugs may also lead to heart rhythm disturbances, or arrhythmias. Treatment for cancer with drugs known as angiogenesis inhibitors and other targeted cancer medications have been linked to high blood pressure.
In addition, some cancers require radiation therapy. If the area of the body receiving radiation includes the heart, that also may raise the risk of cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease and heart attack. Treatment for these conditions varies, again depending on the severity and on a person's overall medical condition.
Many times, it can be very hard to determine if heart damage is directly linked to a certain cancer medication or if it's the result of some other cause. Additional common causes of heart damage can include viral infections, medication for another condition, and underlying heart disease, among many others.
It may be beneficial for your mother to have a consultation with a heart specialist who can thoroughly assess her situation and help decide on a treatment plan that's best for her. If your mother needs cancer treatment again in the future, her doctors can take steps to lower the risk of that treatment causing additional heart damage. -- Timothy Moynihan, M.D., Medical Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.

Ethics, Service, and Professionalism Programs
More Pro Bono and Community Service Opportunities »
Ethics Programs
Ethics and Professionalism Library
Cooley's Ethics and Professionalism Library maintains over 2,950 titles and 4,670 volumes of ethics materials. The Ethics and Professionalism Library is open to students, faculty, and attorneys to promote the research and study of ethics and professionalism.
Professor Peter Kempel oversees the Ethics and Professionalism Library and has continued to collect items on ethics and professionalism. Among them, the book entitled Reflection of a Lawyer's Soul: The Institutional Experience of Professionalism at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, comprises a response to the Carnegie Report on Educating Lawyers and showcases Cooley's implementation of the very proposals that report set forth for law schools. Royalties from the sale of the book are contributed by all authors to the Center for Ethics.
Ethics in the Curriculum
The Center works with Cooley faculty to find interesting and probative methods of incorporating ethics into the required and elective courses in both the JD and LLM programs. Faculty members have designed and teach elective courses based in ethics, conflict resolution, and pro bono including:
Ethics in Advanced Appellate Techniques, Negotiation and Confrontation, Negotiation National Team, Advanced Professional Ethics, Advanced Business Mediation, Cultural Competency in the Legal Profession, Facilitative Mediation, Professionalism Portfolio Project, Pathway to Success: Your Career and Portfolio, Standards and Ethics of Tax Practice, Advanced Practice Skills – Mediation Training, Advanced Practice Skills – Domestic Mediation, Advanced Practice Skills – Multiple Party Dispute Resolution, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Facilitative Mediation Directed Study, Client Counseling Competition, Interviewing and Counseling, Access to Justice Clinic, the 60+ Elderlaw Clinic and all other indigent-based clinics.
Enforcing Student Conduct Codes
Students engaging in unethical or unprofessional conduct are investigated, counseled, and sanctioned, as appropriate. Along with faculty, Cooley students also serve as counselors, prosecutors, and judges in Honor Code cases. They also assist in enforcing the Honor Code through their service as exam proctors for first term exams.
Reports of suspected Honor Code violations and Disciplinary Procedures violations are investigated by "investigating deans" designated for each campus: Martha Moore at Ann Arbor, Frank Aiello at Auburn Hills, Tracey Brame at Grand Rapids, Cynthia Ward at Lansing, and Ron Sutton at Tampa Bay. The work of the investigating deans is supported and complemented by the Honor Council, Discipline Board, Office of Law School Advocate, and Office of Student Assistance. Professor Mike Molitor is the Chair of the Honor Council.
As a result of students serving as Student Exam Proctors, on the Honor Council, and in the Office of Student Assistance, we have more students actively standing up to support the Honor Code than actual violators. Dean Cynthia Ward, on behalf of the Dean of Students Office, in cooperation with the Exams and Grade Appeals Office, organizes student exam proctors at each campus who are second and third year students to assist in administering mid-term and final exams for first year students. Student Exam Proctors assist regular exam proctors prior to the start of the exam and at the end of the exam when time has been called. Our Student Exam Proctors volunteer their time; they are not paid.
The Student Exam Proctor program has been very successful. It is important for students to see other students enforcing the Honor Code. The work of student exam proctors before the exam and after the exam is visible and impressive. Most allegations of suspected Honor Code violations involve conduct that occurs right before the start or right after time is called at the end of an exam.
Integrity in Our Communities Speaker Series
The Center brings nationally and locally recognized speakers to each campus each term to talk with our students, staff, and faculty about issues, trials, and lawsuits touching on ethical and professionalism matters. Students, faculty, and staff gather to hear speakers talk openly about challenges they have faced, and their personal and professional ethics that guided them through.
Since the series' inception in Hilary 2007, presenters have included: Chief Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals William Whitbeck, nationally-recognized criminal defense attorney Frank Reynolds, former State Bar of Michigan President and State Board of Education member and practicing attorney Reginald Turner, Michigan Supreme Court Justice Cavanagh, former State Bar of Michigan President Jon Muth, Federal Magistrate Scoville, Retired Grand Rapids City Attorney Phil Balkema, Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Marilyn Kelly, State Bar President Ed Pappas, Judges Leo Bowman and Denise Page Hood, and chief public defender in Washtenaw County Lloyd Powell.
Click here to see a list of featured speakers.
Ethics Speakers' Bureau
Cooley staff and faculty make themselves available to train and educate groups outside the school interested in ethics and professionalism, such as lawyers, paralegals, students, business owners and executives, local governments, and public interest groups. If you are interested in having a speaker for your organization who can speak about legal ethics and professionalism, please contact Kathy Lawrence at Cooley Law School at (517) 371-5140 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Service Programs
Commitment to Our Communities/Cooley Cares
Students, staff, and faculty serve the communities where Cooley lives by supporting the activities of numerous organizations. The Center for Ethics, Service, and Professionalism encourages community service among Cooley employees by identifying service opportunities and matching employees who want to serve with agencies needing help. Each year, a Cooley employee from each campus is publicly recognized for outstanding community service and receives the Great Deeds Award. Through the Great Deeds Award, the Center for Ethics, Service, and Professionalism has recognized these employees for excelling in community service: Jill Pullum, Joan Vestrand, Tony Alvarado, Fred Puffenberger, Martha Moore, Nelson Miller, Nancy Wonch, Stevie Barachkov, Aletha Honsowitz, Danielle Hall, Julie Clement, Audra Foster, Katherine Fleming, Marjorie Gell, Julie Mullens, Norm Fell, Jason Eyster, Val Schnable, Patrick Corbett, Dave Tarrien, and Victoria Cruz-Garcia.
Learn more about Cooley Commitment to Our Communities Programs.
Leadership in the Law
The faculty and staff of the Center hold leadership positions in our communities to promote competence and ethics in the practice of law. For example, we hold seats on the Attorney Grievance Commission, hearing panels for the Attorney Discipline Board, and the Sections and Committees of the State Bar of Michigan on Law Practice and Management, Grievance, Criminal Issues Initiative, Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Equal Access Initiative.
Leadership positions held by members of the Center for Ethics, Service, and Professionalism.
Pro Bono Programs
Cooley operates many programs that offer free legal assistance to people who cannot afford or who would not otherwise fund such work.
First, here is some background: Cooley faculty and students regularly contribute hundreds of thousands of hours of free legal service per year to pro bono projects and through externships and clinics. It is the breadth and quantity of free legal assistance offered by dedicated faculty who are not required to do such work and are not compensated in any way for doing it, and by students who undertake such work in many cases for no academic credit, through creative partnerships with agencies, shelters, courts, and bar associations, that distinguish Cooley's efforts.
Learn more about Cooley's Pro Bono Programs, including a full listing of pro bono opportunities by campus.
Service to Soldiers: Legal Assistance Referral Program
Since 2007, Thomas Cooley's Service to Soldiers: Legal Assistance Referral Program has been offering free legal assistance to Michigan and Florida military personnel who are deploying to, are serving in, or have recently returned from deployment and are experiencing civilian legal concerns. This program is offered state-wide to servicemembers of E5 rank or below in Michigan, and rank E6 and below in Florida, and works cooperatively with other veteran and military assistance programs throughout Michigan. In particular, the ABA Military Pro Bono Project asked to partner with Cooley Law School to combine the resources of both programs and provide greater coverage to service members. Service to Soldiers has been a valuable partner to the ABA Military Pro Bono Project and Department of Defense Office of Legal Policy. The program has allowed Cooley students, alumni, staff, and Michigan and Florida attorneys the opportunity to give back to those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
Learn more about Cooley's Service to Soldiers: Legal Assistance Referral Program.
Professionalism Programs
Student Mediation Board
Cooley students trained in mediation under the Michigan Court Rules volunteer their time to help confidentially resolve personal conflicts between students and practice their mediation skills.
Cultural Competence Workshops
A series of five workshops supporting professional development in cross-cultural competencies are offered to Cooley students to expose them to, and teach them to advise and counsel, a diverse clientele in a sensitive, supportive, and effective manner. The Center's workshops feature speakers, interactive instruction, and student-facilitated workgroups covering five core competencies: (1) communication; (2) cognition; (3) reference; (4) resource; and (5) relationship. Students learn to recognize their own professionally influenced and their clients' culturally influenced habits, viewpoints, capacities, and practices so as to be able to adjust and adapt and thereby provide more professional counsel. The workshops have been incorporated into the Pathway course.
Professional Development and Mentoring
Cooley employs the concept of episodic mentoring for professional development through its Professionalism Portfolio Project. Rather than match individual student protégés with one lawyer for an extended period of time, Cooley encourages students to be mentored by many different lawyers and for short periods of time. This concept of episodic mentoring—based on the notion that protégés can learn a great deal from mentors in as little as 20 minutes, if both parties are focused on mentoring and understand the goal—offers students the advantages of
- knowing many lawyers,
- learning the skill of self-mentoring—that is, learning to ask questions that will assist in one's professional development,
- getting many viewpoints about issues,
- avoiding an unproductive or incompatible pairing
- sharpening communication skills
- learning to approach people, without an introduction, in a way that is welcomed
- attending social and professional events where lawyers are present.
Cooley students are taught the concept of "self-mentoring," that is, asking questions to elicit information that will help them develop professionally. They learn to ask lawyers, and then reflect on what they hear, about how lawyers make good decisions, handle ethical challenges, balance their personal and work lives, make time for public service and pro bono work, develop professionally, deal with difficult people, model good behavior, and meet the ethical obligations of the legal profession. Students are encouraged to start episodic mentoring in their second term and to continue it every term, with a goal of doubling, each term, the number of attorneys they contact. If they follow through on this challenge, they will know 16 attorneys by their 6th term, who may be able to help them with externships and possible employment leads in their third year. We also offer traditional matched mentoring through various programs.
At the Ann Arbor campus:
- Minority students can be paired with mentors through the D. Augustus Straker Bar Association and through "Edge for Excellence." Contact Professor John Taylor or Dean Martha Moore.
- Cooley students mentor incoming students through the Cooley Ann Arbor Mentoring Program. Contact Campus Director Julie Mullens.
At the Auburn Hills campus:
- 60-Minute Mentoring with members of the Macomb County Bar Association in their offices. Contact Career and Professional Development Coordinator Shari Lesnick.
- Detroit Metropolitan Bar Association Pro Bono Mentoring Program – students are paired with a DMBA Bar member who is handling a pro bono case. The protégés assist with the pro bono work and are mentored along the way.& Contact Dionnie Wynter.
- Minority students can be paired with mentors through the D. Augustus Straker Bar Association. Contact Dean John Nussbaumer.
At the Grand Rapids campus:
- SMART (Structured Mentoring as Assessment of Relevant Training) Program matches lawyers who can articulate what it means to be a competent lawyer with students who are interested in learning how to focus their study efforts to become better lawyers. One to five students meet in the attorney's office for one hour and then write a reflective paper on what they learned, which is shared with the attorney. Contact Assistant Director of the Center for Ethics Karen Rowlader.
- A "Reverse Mentoring" program held on Law Day purports to be the student mentoring the lawyer (student mentors know iPhone apps, business analytics, extreme fundraising, grant writing, and other things that senior lawyers might want to know for their firms and practices) and also involves the lawyer mentoring the student.
At the Lansing campus:
- the Professionalism Portfolio (see portal home page) and the Pathway to Success course both require students to experience "mentoring episodes," and students are provided with resources for finding those opportunities with lawyers.
- 60 Minute Mentoring with members of the Ingham County Bar Association and Cooley students occurs in the attorneys' offices. Contact Center for Ethics Administrative Assistant Kathy Lawrence.
- The Cooley Chapter of the American Inns of Court meets monthly and combines 20-minute mentoring and reverse mentoring before dinner so that the seasoned lawyers can mentor law students and also be mentored by the law students.
Cooley is one of ten founding members of a newly established National Legal Mentoring Consortium. Contact Dean Amy Timmer.
Professionalism Portfolio and Pathway to Success Course
Every student at Cooley is offered the opportunity to create, throughout enrollment, a Professionalism Portfolio that requires self-reflection and training in personal responsibility, ethics, and service, documents the student's professional identity development and personal code of conduct, encourages episodic mentoring with lawyers, connects students to the resource offices at Cooley at the right time during their enrollment, and ultimately offers employers insight into an applicants knowledge, skills, ethics, and character. Participating students benefit through better connections, both to the school and to attorneys, and improved and focused career planning while in law school. The program is housed on Cooley's portal where the term-appropriate exercises and recorded presentations are available. Students are also invited to group meetings each term. Students who complete the program create a professionalism portfolio that can be shared with employers to document their character, mastery of lawyer skills, service to the community, awards and excellence in law school, and ability to begin a legal job upon graduation. Students' portfolios may be web-based, or contained on a flash drive, DVD, or in hard copy.
In 2008, Deans Timmer and Zelenski brought a course-component to the portfolio, to draw those students who prefer having a classroom structure. Joined by Cooley's Distinguished Jurist U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Richard Suhrheinrich, they developed and now teach at the Lansing campus a two-credit elective course called Pathway to Success: Your Career and Portfolio. Students complete all portfolio exercises, plus additional work meant to focus them on understanding themselves and their career options. The course runs over five terms so that the Deans can develop and maintain close relationships with the students. The course is also offered at Cooley's Grand Rapids and Auburn Hills campuses.
Public School Mentoring and Assistance Programs
The Center for Ethics, Service, and Professionalism encourages programming with local public schools, to improve the education of all and to interest students in continuing their education and even considering law school. In their work with public schools, Cooley Law School students provide help as mentors, teachers, and tutors, and offer their support and encouragement through personal relationships and fund-raising.
In Saginaw area schools, Cooley's Auburn Hills faculty member Professor Monica Nuckolls and her father, Hon. M.T. Thompson, Jr., developed and implement a drug education and crime prevention program called Making Choices and Facing Consequences, an evidence-and field-tested drug education and crime prevention program designed to:
- Promote the development of personal self-management skills through decision making exercises that allow children and young adults to examine real life situations and consider the choices and consequences presented by each situation;
- Teach children and young adults what constitutes unlawful and risky behavior and how to avoid dangerous and unsafe situations; and
- Promote responsible citizenship and appropriate behavior standards.
Drug education and character training is delivered through a set of real life stories about children and young adults. The characters in the stories come from the same type of neighborhoods, share similar backgrounds, and face the same type of problems, pressures, and temptations as the young adults we are trying to reach. The lesson is clear: good choices have good consequences and bad choices have bad consequences.
The Making Choices and Facing Consequences curriculum has been endorsed by Superintendents from the Saginaw, Bridgeport, and Carrollton Public School Districts, and the Saginaw Police Chiefs' Association. It has also been successfully used in the Saginaw Public Schools' 21st Century Program, Bridgeport-Spaulding Schools, Carrollton Public Schools, Buena Vista Public Schools, Saginaw County Juvenile Detention Center, and the Saginaw Community Foundation's Youth First Program.
At Pontiac High School, Cooley's Center for Ethics offers Project Future to high school students to address bullying and alcohol and drug abuse. This program is an outgrowth of the Making Choices and Facing Consequences program described above and is designed to: promote the development of personal self-management skills through decision making exercises that allow young adults to examine real life situations and consider the choices and consequences presented by each situation; teach young adults what constitutes unlawful and risky behavior and how to avoid dangerous and unsafe situations; and promote responsible citizenship and appropriate behavior standards.
In an effort to reduce school violence in the Lansing public schools, the Center offers the Peer Mediation Program through which Cooley students teach mediation and conflict resolution, and act as mentors, to public school students, when the public schools have sufficient resources to support this program. The Center expanded this program to St. Andrews Academy in Grand Rapids and the 7th Day Adventist Church School in Lansing.
Since 1994, Professor Nancy Wonch has trained thousands of students in area elementary, middle, and high schools to be peer mediators, and has trained Cooley students in facilitative mediation skills. Facilitative mediation is the foundation for the advanced mediation class at Cooley and also is the required method for certification in Michigan for mediators who wish to be included in the list of court approved mediators. Many of the Cooley students have gone on to take the advanced mediation class and to become mediators as lawyers. Professor Wonch has also provided many more with the basic principals of facilitative mediation with special presentations to students at the Michigan Supreme Court, Youth in Government, Cub Scouts, Michigan State University, and visits to other schools like Pontiac Middle School. Additionally she has trained high school students in the principles of interest based negotiation as a kind of "advanced" conflict resolution skill when they are in their second year of our program.
Cooley students benefit in several ways from this program: They learn the fundamentals of facilitative mediation and interest based negotiation; they mentor and lead school students in our community; they are, in turn, mentored by Professor Wonch and her training partner Anne Smiley. Frequently they develop or enhance existing interests in ADR that carry through to their legal careers. The development of healthy, non-violent, peaceful problem solving and dispute resolution methods in all of the students we teach is the primary objective of the Peer Mediation project. In 2006, this project received the Nanci S. Klein award from the State Bar of Michigan Alternative Dispute Resolution Section "in recognition of its significant contributions to the field of community-based dispute resolution."
The Grand Rapids campus connected with East Kentwood High School (EKHS) when Cooley students helped them prepare for a regional "We The People" competition where high school students are tested on their knowledge of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. East Kentwood High School also offers the peer jurors for Grand Rapids Teen Court. Students from EKHS joined Cooley students and paralegal students from Davenport University at the Grand Rapids campus to view the Michigan Supreme Court oral argument simulcast from the Auburn Hills campus. The Grand Rapids Center for Ethics invited and hosted ROTC cadets from Western Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, Calvin College and Cornerstone University, along with their Captain, for breakfast and a tour of the campus. Following the tour, they accompanied faculty, staff, and students to Stand Down 2009. The Cadets acted as guides and accompanied the veterans to each of the service providers at Stand Down. Students, faculty, and staff at the Grand Rapids campus collected school supplies for Heart of West Michigan United Way's Schools of Hope program. Students volunteered to help "Stuff the School Bus" with items go to Grand Rapids public school students who can't afford needed items to start school.
The Ann Arbor campus students, led by Deans Vestrand and Moore, assist Ypsilanti High School students through:
- Homework Help, which is academic tutoring and friendship offered by Cooley students and faculty along with Eastern Michigan University;
- Support and mentorship of 27 homeless students through the Purposeful Acts of Kindness (PAK) organization
- Student Court, through which the court and high school juries administer consequences for admitted school conduct code violations. Cooley students train the jurors, serve as judges in the proceedings, and mentor the student's satisfactory completion of all requirements of disposition. Because of the restorative justice principles involved, the Washtenaw County Family Court is monitoring the success of the court with an eye towards its possible implementation district wide
- Making Meals Happen: The Ann Arbor campus teamed up with students at the University of Michigan Law School to provide 170 needy families in the district with a Thanksgiving dinner. Many of these dinners went to families with students at Ypsilanti High School
- United Parents, a support group of parents, students, community liaisons, the assistant superintendent of the district and representatives from Cooley and Eastern Michigan University to link resources for parental empowerment and unity
- Circle of Hope partnerships in the community to support initiatives at Ypsilanti High School.
Professional Development Programs
Other professional development programs include the self-directed Professionalism Portfolio Project and the two-credit elective course called Pathway to Success: Your Career and Portfolio. Both the self-directed program and the course require self-reflection and training in personal responsibility, ethics, and service, document the student's professional identity development and personal code of conduct, require episodic mentoring, and offer employers insight into an applicant's knowledge, skills, ethics, and character. Please see these individually listed programs for further information.
The Center for Ethics, Service, and Professionalism promotes professional development not just of its students, but also its faculty and staff. Professional development activities sponsored through the Center include development of a faculty professionalism portfolio, conferences with area faculty, mentoring opportunities for Cooley faculty, a study of a mentoring program run in conjunction with the State Bar of Michigan that matches Cooley students intending to practice in Michigan with Michigan lawyers, and a professionalism orientation for new students at each campus during which area lawyers and judges meet in small groups with the newest Cooley students to talk about ethics and professionalism.
Student Wellness
Wellness programming in law schools is becoming increasingly important because of the stress experienced by law students in many facets of their lives. A law school's approach to wellness programming should be holistic and address wellness in all aspects, including social, financial, physical, emotional, career, and spiritual wellness. Assistant Dean Cynthia Ward has taken responsibility for student wellness programs and is assessing wellness programming currently offered at the law school by student organizations and other departments. By bringing together the programming under one wellness umbrella, we hope to underscore the importance of wellness in the profession. Several wellness programs have been conducted covering financial responsibility, meditation, appropriate social networking, and alcohol problems for law students.

North Carolina's statewide school board is getting to work on whether to allow charter schools that operate with fewer rules to offer online-only classes.
The State Board of Education on Friday starts work on figuring out the best rules and needed changes to state law to allow virtual charter schools. The task was assigned by state lawmakers, and recommendations are due before the General Assembly opens its next session in the spring.
The study group hears from a Chapel Hill education research firm about what's happening with virtual charter schools across the country and what people in North Carolina think.
The meeting comes a week after a state appeals court ruled the state school board was justified when it blocked a company's bid to establish an online-only charter school.

- Exceptional servicetdmplsDined on 9/27/2014I brought in a group of 10 and Devon's went above and beyond to accommodate us. We were seated in one of their private rooms and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and timely. We were treated so well. Every single person commented on how delicious the food was. Devon's created an exceptional dining experience for my group.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic SeafoodWorldtravelerDined on 9/26/2014I ate at Devon's twice in one week, awesome. The food was so good I had to bring my wife down to experience the food. She that it was fantastic. I would recommend to all! You received the "Lady Jayne" stamp of approval. Very prestigious indeed! ;-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not greatPhisinphoolVIPDined on 9/26/2014I can't say anything terrific about this place. The food was good, but not special. The fish was tasty, but not memorable. The server was around alot, almost too much, to the point that it was difficult to have a conversation because he was checking in to be sure everything was "perfect". The pace of the meal felt rushed. If I had somewhere else to be, I may have appreciated it, but I didn't ask for a quick exit. If you have somewhere else to be, this is the place. Otherwise, I think there are lots of other choices.
- New favoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/22/2014Devon Seafood Grill is our new favorite seafood restaurant. The staff was fantastic and the food was amazing. My wife and I were lucky to spend our Honeymoon on the island of Kauai where we enjoyed exceptional meals. The Mahi Mahi from Devon was the best fish dish I have tasted!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great anniversary dinnerMcmasterTDined on 9/21/2014Had a blast eating here while celebrating anniversary in Chicago. We were seated at a table in our own little room downstairs. Didn't request the area, but we're sitter there anyway.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Devon Perfect for Out of Town GroupChicagoRestfan1955Dined on 9/17/2014I brought a diverse group in Chicago for a business meeting. The food, service, and ambiance were perfect.

- Excellent Food Great ServiceInfrequentDinerDined on 9/16/2014The sea scallops were delicious but filling. The appetizers were good portions and good variety of choices. Service was very good.Special Features:
- DisappointedRosieDined on 9/16/2014Went on 9/16 to celebrate our Anniversary; However, the frog legs my husband ordered were NOT fresh but rather frozen. What we were willing to pay a higher price for turned out to be very deceiving and disappointing as all other sides were great. The texture and taste of the frog legs were less than desirable let alone pass off as fresh. My husand's burbon was had so much ice it tasted very water down within a minute or two. Because of one of two entrees not being desirable with a bill of $180 for 2, we will not return to the restaurant nor recommend it to friends, family unfortunately.Special Features:
- BrunchLuv2brunchDined on 9/14/2014I was sad they discontinued the Brunch Buffet. They had brunch items on menu to select from that we're delicious. Bring back the. Buffet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I thought it was going to be a table.the atmosphere was nice and the service was awesome. .The food eas great my husband is still talking about the grill shrimp.I will definitely come back and recommendation the restaurant. Was disappoint with the $10 cake cutting fee.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- unexpectedly greatarthurVIPDined on 9/13/2014After the mediocre reviews that accompanied the opening of the very pretty restaurant when it opened,I was a little wary when out of town visitors wanted "a special place for fish" that was also near their hotel & theater. Everyone was beyond being very pleased with their entries;our waiter (Phoenix) was experienced, cordial, prompt & mature.The place was quiet,at least partially because we were early I am sure. We may even return for our annual family dinner in the future, perhaps in one of the little private rooms downstairs.We had a theater time deadline which was met with ease. I was pleased that there were several reasonably priced wines. The tuile cookie may have been the best cookie I have ever eaten, even tho it wasn't a fish.Special Features:
- ExceptionalmarthaVIPDined on 9/11/2014One our favorite restaurants. Would definitely go back!Special Features:
- Very fresh fishOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/10/2014Very good fish. All fresh. Excellent service with extensive wine list. A little pricey, but not out of line for the area.Special Features:
- Great PlaceHandAMDined on 9/10/2014Not as famous as many other Eateries in Chicago but just as good. I liked the classy somewhat art deco look. The waiter was really great and personableSpecial Features:
- KrochDined on 9/9/2014Took clients for dinner - all of us were from out-of-town! Two of the customers dinners were late but they took care of it. Waiter and food were outstanding!! They had us in a small nook - perfect for a business dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic fish and seafoodtheamariaDined on 9/4/2014As I come from Scandinavia and very spoiled with great fish and seafood - I must admit my seafood mix grill is up there with the best dishes I had so fare. The Restaurant is very pleasant and service outstanding. We had a fantastic evening in taste and surroundings.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014Overall some of the best food and service I have ever experienced. I would go back and recommend everyone to try it once.Special Features:
- Devon consistencyJBGudDined on 8/31/2014Third different Devon I've eaten in - all very satisfying. The seafood mixed grill was fantasticSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedDined on 8/31/2014Will not b back we only frequent Devon specifically for the shrimp!!! Sorry u replaced them with soft soggy ones😡😡😡😡😡
- Highly recommendedPurplegirl410Dined on 8/30/2014I have never had a bad meal here! I have taken many for birthdays and other special occasions and always enjoyed it.Special Features:
- BEV1951Dined on 8/30/2014First time dining at DEVON in Chicago (I dine frequently in Hershey); was astonished that the same quality of food here as in Hershey. DEVON has become one of my top 5 fine dining restaurants and now having dined in Chicago as well, certainly cements its place on my list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinnerShowme86VIPDined on 8/27/2014We had a wonderful dinner. The dining room was romantic with wonderful ambiance.Special Features:
- Not impressedOpenTableProVIPDined on 8/26/2014The décor is boring, frankly, and the dining room is in the basement. The waiter hovered and acted like he had a plane to catch (it was only 50% full at best). Food was OK, but nothing to write home about. Far better seafood options. (Their Milwaukee restaurant is much better!)
- Stellar DiningSheilaBVIPDined on 8/26/2014This dinner had been long planned. Devon's totally delivered a wonderful experience. One of the four guests had never been to Devon's and our server, who was delightful, walked her through the special features Devon's offers. The fresh fish was absolutely terrific, and the yukon gold potatoes, fried shrimp dinner and the crab cake appetizers were all exceptionally well-prepared. For the special requests we made, our server was extremely helpful, and delivered on all, assuring we each had a meal we completely enjoyed. The dessert splurge included the apple croustade. The ice cream that accompanies the pastry and apple dish was fantastic. It was a wonderful meal in a beautiful, cheerful setting with great food and service.Special Features:
- Great serviceWouldDefinitelyReturnDined on 8/23/2014The good at the restaurant was wonderful. Fresh seafood and steaks. However, what really out it over the top for me was service. Great service does it for me and this place had that. Not over the top but just right. Perfect timing between telling us specials, drink orders, food orders, etc. Additionally I wrote in the special recommendations box on the Open Table that it was a birthday. They wished a happy birthday and surprised us with a free dessert of our choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner at Devon 8.22.14HelenDined on 8/22/2014Our dinning experience at Devon was just ok. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and really looking forward to a great seafood meal. I ordered Alaskan King Crag legs, which I typically enjoy, but more than half the plate was the "joints". The legs I did get were very thin and after sharing a piece with my husband there was hardly anything left. My husband ordered the ahi tuna which he said was just ok Drinks were just ok too. The mood inside was very dark and no music was playing and since the restaurant is fairly small, all you could hear was the clashing sound of dishes coming from the kitchen. On the flip side, the oysters were good and the service was excellent. Overall not the worst experience, but Devon wouldn't be my 1st choice
- Fresh DailydinealotVIPDined on 8/21/2014Devon (Do you say Devon or do you say Devon?) carefully lists seafood sources on the menu so diners know what they are getting. For midwesterners to be guaranteed fresh seafood well prepared throughout the year is wonderful. My companion was new to the restaurant, a favorite of mine, and thoroughly enjoyed the sea bass; I splurged on the Canadian lobster. The endless supply of biscuits could be lethal but they are so good. Wine pours come in two sizes (6&9 oz), a nice menu option. Our meal was what I had hoped for a special evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lobster Bisque Must HaveMSOHIOVALDined on 8/19/2014My dining experience was outstanding. Our waiter was fantastic. Knowledgeable - I had the Sampler with Salmon, Shrimp, Crab Cake, and asparagus. I also had the Lobster Bisque as a starter. The lobster Bisque was the best I have ever experienced. I had the Caribbean Hard Lemonade *****FANTASTIC!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great PlaceFamilyDinnerDined on 8/18/2014Not much to say other than this is just an excellent place to eat. If you are in Chicago, this place should be on your list of diner locations.Special Features:
- San Joseans dine at DevonMarimuDined on 8/18/2014There were eight of us visiting Chicago and one couple had heard Devon was good for seafood. We were Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food which was memorably delicious at dinner! My husband had A steak and it was superlative! The seafood was perfect, wine list great, service impeccable! Be sure you get Paul as your waiter, he was honest about offerings on the menu and all of us were introduced to Basil ice Cream! So Yummy! I would return to Devon if ever in Chiczgo again without thinking twice.Special Features:

CLIFTON, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities in the southeastern Arizona community of Clifton have closed flood gates along the San Francisco River due to high water levels.
An RV park along the river was evacuated Sunday, and residents in low-lying areas were warned to move to higher ground.
A flood advisory was in effect for the area, but forecasters with the National Weather Service say the river crested at between 23 and 24 feet and was expected to gradually fall during the afternoon.
The Arizona Department of Transportation closed U.S. 191 in Clifton due to the high water levels. Officials were initially concerned about the water reaching the bottom of the Arizona 191 bridge.
Heavy rains in neighboring New Mexico and eastern Arizona have resulted in increased runoff into the region's streams and rivers.

5 Justices Join Appellate Bench
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday filled three of the five vacancies on the depleted Appellate Division, Third Department, but left the court short two judges and without any minority representation. He also named one judge each to the Second and Fourth Departments.
What's being said
NYS Supreme Court has many qualified justices that can be elevated to help clarify the rule of law and public policy in a just and ethnic- or racial-neutral way by their service.
One clear Cuomo gift, father and son, to New York has always been a diverse range of judicial excellence being appointed, and this group is exemplary.
Thanks Gov!

ORLANDO -- Wesley Smith walked around the Citrus Bowl on Saturday afternoon carrying a sledgehammer as his University School teammates celebrated their first state championship in school history.
"It's been a sign of strength and unity for us all season," Smith, a 5-11, 180-pound strong safety said. "We're a family."
Two years after seeing his football family fall a yard short of a state title, Smith made sure Madison County receiver Neal Brown fell a yard short of taking another one away from the Suns. As Brown reeled in a pass at the Suns 11-yard line on 4th-and-17, Smith launched his body at the 5-11, 165-pound receiver. The mid-air, high-speed collision impeded Brown's forward progress.
The Cowboys, hoping to rally from a 24-17 deficit with a minute to play in Saturday's Class 3A state championship game, picked up only 16 yards on the play.
"I had a lot of anger built up from losing two years ago," said Smith, who after missing the 2010 title game with a torn ACL produced a season-high 11 tackles Saturday (a third of his season total). "When I saw he didn't get the first down I didn't know what to say, what to think. I couldn't get up from the ground I was so happy. I knew we had it in the bag."
The Suns (12-0) had a star-studded roster filled with top-flight recruits this season. But on Saturday, it was the lower-profile kids such as Smith, linebacker Cody Schooley and receiver Emanuel Soto who stepped up and provided some of the biggest lifts in the Suns' come-from-behind victory.
Soto, who was a star and the leading receiver at Archbishop McCarthy a year ago, stepped up when leading receiver Jordan Cunningham left Saturday's game with a sprained MCL. Soto, the team's third-leading receiver this season, caught a season-high five passes for 81 yards, including the 11-yard game-winner with 5:54 to play from quarterback Mike White.
Schooley, though, might have provided the biggest lift of all according to teammates. The 6-foot, 230-pound senior, unlisted on recruiting websites, delivered an inspiring speech at halftime and chipped in with six tackles.
"The biggest adjustment we made was our attitude," said senior linebacker Skai Moore, who led the Suns with 14 tackles including a pair of big ones late in the game. "Cody was the one in there yelling, telling us to pick it up. He said, 'We've got 24 minutes left together before we go on our separate ways for the rest of our lives.' It got us going."
Said Suns coach Roger Harriott: "Cody is an extraordinary person. When he talks, people listen. He can move a crowd. He's going to do some remarkable things later in life."
Things couldn't have started worse for the Suns. University trailed 17-0 and got more bad news when Cunningham injured his knee making a 25-yard catch and run with less than four minutes to play in the first half. Facing a second-and-20 from the Madison County 35-yard line moments later, Soto came to the rescue. He made a diving 22-yard catch at the 13-yard line. The Suns settled for a field goal four plays later, but suddenly had some momentum.
After Moore and Schooley combined to hold Madison County to a three-and-out on its next possession with tackles, Soto made a leaping 31-yard catch down the sideline to help setup White's 15-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Taylor with 10 seconds before the half.
Harriott, who will probably have more than a dozen seniors sign with Division I schools, said in his eyes he has a roster full of superstars. Some of them, he said, just finally got a chance to shine.
"Sometimes guys can get lost in the shuffle, don't get the recognition guys like Jordan [Cunningham], [Jordan Scarlett], [Maquedius Bain], Mike [White] and Skai [Moore] get," Harriott said. "We have an extraordinary team that is extremely selfless.
"In the end, what I'm going to remember is the love and commitment our kids displayed. They're the epitome of what it means to be a team."

Experts recently announced that after three years of research, they determined the glass negatives are authentic works by Ansel Adams and are worth an estimated $200 million dollars.
The negatives all date back to the 1920s and 1930s and were each kept inside manila envelopes that were deteriorating in age.
Norsigian had the negatives scanned and developed into prints, which friends and family said resembled the work of famed photographer Ansel Adams.
Miriam Walton saw a picture of the famous Jeffrey Pine on Sentinal Dome at Yosemite National Park during recent reports and recognized the image.
She said the picture was taken by her uncle, Earl Brooks, back in 1923. Walton said her uncle lived in the Fresno area and often took pictures at Yosemite, just like Ansel Adams.
The photo taken by Walton's uncle looks nearly identical to one of Norsigian's prints -- only the clouds were different.
"I keep thinking that perhaps that box of negatives belongs to Uncle Earl," Walton told KTVU-TV.
Scott Nichols of the Nichols Gallery in San Francisco studied the two prints and said the lighting, shadows and angle of the photos would be "virtually impossible" for two photographers to duplicate.
Nichols planned to further study the prints.
Adams, known for his black and white photos of Yosemite National Park, also used the glass negative format.
Norsigian began researching Adams to determine if the prints actually were authentic.
He enlisted the help of Los Angeles-area attorney Arnold Peter, who gathered a group of forensic experts.
A handwriting expert confirmed that the writing on the envelopes was that of Virginia Adams -- Ansel's wife.
"That was a turning point," Norsigian said.
A meteorological expert compared Norsigian's negatives to published Adams photographs taken at the same California location. Norsigian says the expert determined the photos were taken on the same day after looking at the cloud formation, the snow on the mountains and the shadow cast by a tree.
Norsigian's attorney says the negatives are worth millions. A Beverly HIlls appraiser says the negatives are worth at least $200 million.
Based on what I've seen, there is the notion that someone other than Ansel Adams took any of these photographs is just not reasonable or rational," Peter said.
Adams' glass negatives were thought to have been destroyed in a fire. Art experts say they are a major missing link in the photographer's career.
The negatives are currently on display.
Adams is best known for his striking black-and-white photographs, mainly landscapes, of the American West. He died in 1984 at 82.

Why Nobody Wants to Play the Bison
When you win three straight National Championships in college football, a lot of good things come your way: increased exposure, expanded resources, and improved recruiting.
But the folks at North Dakota State are finding out there is a big downside to being a dynasty on the gridiron: nobody wants to schedule you.
For years, NDSU, like most other FCS teams, has been making a habit of playing early season, big money payout, road games at FBS schools. But unlike other FCS teams, the Bison have been winning those games on a regular basis.
North Dakota State is 7-3 in their last ten games against the 'big boys', including four straight wins against Kansas, Minnesota, Colorado State and Kansas State. This season, the Bison will look to make it five in-a-row when the play at Iowa State, August 30th.
But the future of NDSU games with FBS opponents gets murky after that. The Bison are not scheduled to play a FBS team in 2015, although there is a 2016 game scheduled against Iowa in Iowa City, but after that, no additional FBS game are scheduled.
In a story in the Fargo Forum, NDSU's director of broadcasting, Jeremy Jorgenson, said:
There are a lot of teams that I've talked to that have dates that match up and want an FCS team, but they don't want us.
South Dakota's two Missouri Valley Conference teams also have FBS games this season. South Dakota State plays at Missouri, and South Dakota plays at Oregon.
Both of those games are Saturday, August 30th.

Woodworker's Journal
But in the smaller world of woodworking, being the editor of the Woodworker's Journal does offer me the opportunity to call all sorts of famous woodworkers and hold their attention for a while. Recently, for instance, I called Simon Watts, a woodworker and writer who is well known and very well respected. I asked him if he would be interested in contributing to the Journal on a regular basis and to my great pleasure he said yes. Simon will be spending most of his time on the print side of things, but he will also lend an electronic hand from time to time here at the eZine.

Fast Facts on India's Biodiversity Part 1 – Biogeographic Zones | Pramod Krishnan
12 Sep 2012
Three unparalleled factors give India its biological opulence. First, there is an astounding spectrum of habitats and ecosystems existing over a wide range of latitudes and longitudes. These, together with varied climatic regimes, have resulted in an impressive range of bio-physical environments. Second, India lies at the confluence of three global centres of origin of life or 'Biogeographic Realms', viz. Indo-Malayan, Eurasian and Afro-tropical. India's flora and fauna have been enriched by elements from each of these realms. Third, India has a legacy of co-existence of humans and nature and a longstanding tradition of conservation. In this blog, I will introduce the 10 biogeographic zones that India has been divided into: Trans-Himalaya: Constituting 5.6 percent of the country's geographical area, this zone includes high altitude cold and arid mountain areas, including cold deserts. An extension of the Tibetan Plateau, this zone has sparse alpine steppe vegetation with many endemic species. It supports some of the biggest populations of wild sheep and goats in the world as well as some rare species of fauna such as Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia). Himalaya: Consisting of the entire Himalayan mountain range, this zone covers 6.4 percent of the total geographical area and has alpine andRead More
Creating Agricultural Entrepreneurs in Jharkhand- Lessons from a UNDP Biodiversity Project | Ruchi Pant
28 Aug 2012
I was very encouraged that Times of India covered one of our small projects in Jharkhand. This project helped 30 young people in the district become agricultural entrepreneurs – cultivating and selling lac to nearby markets. For years lac cultivation had been a valuable source of income for poor, tribal families in extremist-affected Khunti district in Jharkhand. However, a shortage of brood lac or mother insects required to cultivate lac has made it more difficult to grow lac in the last few years. But a recent partnership between the Institute of Forest Productivity and UNDP has given a new lease to lac cultivation in the area. It's a success which has included many more villagers along with it. Hundreds of villagers have been employed in a range of activities relating to growing lac. In 2011, record production in Murhu bloc resulted in an annual income of INR 70,000 for each family. According to Dera Munda, a middle-aged farmer who grew lac on 25 trees, "I have grown around 1.25 quintals of lac which has fetched me INR 80,000." In an area plagued with drought and limited irrigation facilities which has made it difficult for families to cultivate yearly paddy crop, "incomeRead More
Biodiversity – A Time to Act | Srinivasan Iyer
13 Aug 2012
Rice, pigeon pea, mango, turmeric, ginger, pepper, banana, bitter gourd, okra, coconut, cardamom, jackfruit, sugarcane, bamboo, taro, indigo, sunhemp, amaranths, goose berries. India is considered to be the place of the origin of several varieties of these plant species. India is one of the 17 mega biodiversity countries of the world. With only 2.5% of the land area, India accounts for 7.8% of the recorded species of the world. The country has contributed to and is party to key multilateral agreements on environmental issues, including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Pursuant to the CBD, following a widespread consultative process, and programs related to biodiversity, Biological Diversity Act, 2002 has been enacted. India is one of the few countries to have enacted such a legislation. This Act primarily aims at giving effect for conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and facilitate access to biological resources and associated traditional knowledge so as to ensure fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of their commercialization. UNDP contributed to the formulation of the BD Act. Last week, along with the Madhya Pradesh State Minister of Forests, I was at a national consultation which was exploring the challenges of implementing this landmark legislation. InRead More

Next morning we took the new People Mover for 1 euro each to the ship and what a beauty she is! You can see photos on the web, suffice it to say the embarkation was smooth as always and our Deluxe Veranda Suite (SA) was perfectly in order. A new item in the suite on this ship is a stall shower in addition to the jacuzzi type tub. Unlike the Zuiderdam, whose suites we have occupied before, this new ship has a subdued definately New York feel to the color schemes on board; gone are the reds and pomegranate, enter the browns and chocolate beiges.
Who cares about the food? Well,everyone does! And the N.A. has perfection in every venue at every meal under the direction of Jonathon Lewis. The Manhattan Dining room, open or fixed seating, had meals for every taste from veal chops to surf and turf, from perfectly done fish to spa cuisine. A bad meal is impossible. This time around if you like a cheese plate for desert as I often do, they give you a list of cheeses from which you can select your wants. Nice touch.
Lido offers fresh made ethnic food at lunch from Chinese to Indonesian. The regular fish/chicken/stew line is still there along with custom panini made to order, salad bar, fruit bar, desert bar...I am getting fat just writing about the choices. Of course there is the option of lunch on deck with hamburgers and grill fare or fresh made pizza (could be better) or more conventional lunch in the dining room or the other venues. The Pinnacle Grill has a new expanded menu in extra tariff room ($20/per dinner, $15 lunch) and the rib eye steak is still this writer's favorite. My wife loved the lobster and the chocolate volcano desert. New to the Eurodam and N.A. is Tamarind, the Asian fusion restaurant. I don't know where to begin. It is free at lunch, a modest $15/per for dinner. The food and service are beyond perfection.
Forgive me for not waxing poetic for room service or the suite exclusive Neptune Lounge and the other perks. They are wonderful as well and HAL is one of the few lines that will give you a hot cooked breakfast in room service included in your fare. BTW no place to mention Katakalon...we did stop there. It as okay...good last stop to buy souvenirs. Nieuw Amsterdam It is as good as it gets.

PRINCETON 51, HARVARD 48 (3ot): HIGHLIGHTS l CONDENSED GAME ($)
Head coach Bob Surace reflects on several areas of Saturday's 51-48 triple-overtime win over Harvard, and he looks ahead to playing Cornell and the all-time Ivy League passing champion. Video can be seen by hitting the play link in the photo.
The last play of a two-game Princeton road trip went a little like this: Quinn Epperly took the shotgun snap, saw that his primary receiver was knocked off his route by a linebacker, and went to his secondary receiver for a six-yard gain.
Of course, you could also say that Quinn Epperly threw his Ivy League record sixth touchdown pass to Roman Wilson in triple overtime to complete a 51-48 victory over Harvard, ending a 15-game home win streak for the Crimson and keeping Princeton in a tie for first in the Ivy League.
Either works.
Those in attendance for last season's magical 39-34 comeback win over Harvard may remember that it was the same Epperly-to-Wilson connection that clinched that win as well. Both years, Princeton left the Harvard game unbeaten in the league and atop the standings.
Now is when Princeton hopes to change history. And it will try to do that against somebody who has made Ivy League history throughout his brilliant four years at Cornell.
Big Red senior quarterback Jeff Mathews has thrown for an Ivy League record 10,417 yards in his career. He is a perfect 3-0 against Princeton, and he has thrown for just short of 1,000 yards against the Tigers. Princeton has had no success stopping Mathews, especially during a 37-35 Cornell win last season. But this is a new Tiger team with a new resolve; it has won three straight games that it trailed, including once in overtime (last week) and once by 17 points (two weeks ago at Brown).
The Ivy League's top scoring offense faces the league's all-time passing leader in a game that could light up the scoreboard.
The Tigers just hope it doesn't alter the league standings.
A Princeton Win Would …
• give Princeton its first six-game win streak since the 2006 Ivy championship season• keep Princeton in at least a share of first place going into the final three weeks of 2013• be Princeton's first victory over Cornell since a 17-13 win in 2009• assure Princeton its first winning season and its first winning home record since 2006• be Princeton's 11th win in its last 15 games

The first round of the Class AAA heavyweight championship went to Savannah. The Blue Jackets won the first of two regular-season meetings against arch-rival Johnson on Saturday, 58-51.
UAB-commitment Chris Cokley, Branielus Ross and Jermaine Williams scored 14 points each, while Savannah State commit Jamal Norman scored 13 for Savannah (4-0). Johnson (5-2) was led by Antwan Maxwell with 16 points. Rico Bonds knocked down three 3-pointers and scored nine points for the Atom Smashers.
Johnson had a chance late. The Atom Smashers drew within a point with 31 seconds remaining, the Savannah made 6 of 8 free throws down the stretch to put the game away.
Last year the teams split four meetings. Savannah and Johnson each won a game during the regular season. Savannah won the Region 1-AAA tournament and Johnson won the state championship.
No dropoff for Dawson boys: The Dawson County boys lost most of its firepower from a year ago, but that hasn't stopped the Tigers from getting off to a 7-1 start. Dawson's only loss was a three-point setback against Pickens, a team that Dawson beat by 25 points in the season opener. Dawson has done it with an attack led by Cameron Millholland and Levi Whitmire.
The Tigers have a big game tonight against White County, which has won five straight games. Coach Sam Borg's Warriors won those games by an average of 19 points. White County (5-1) is led by Jordan Egerton; he had 14 points in the win over Riverside.
St. Pius girls streaking: The defending state champion St. Pius girls continue their unstoppable ways in Region 6. The Golden Lions (7-2) struck twice last week and have now won 49 consecutive regular-season region games. Coach Kyle Snipes' team showed some resiliency on Friday when they rallied from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Decatur 48-44.
The St. Pius boys have won four straight and take an 8-1 record into Friday's game against Pickens. The Golden Lions won an impressive 54-53 decision over Decatur on Friday night. St. Pius will test itself against Class AAAAAA Sprayberry on Saturday at the SEBA Hoop Festival at Pope High School.
Blessed Trinity boys rolling: The Blessed Trinity boys have raced out to an 8-3 start, the only true blemish being a 60-43 home loss to Woodward Academy. The Titans knocked off Towers and Riverwood in Region 6-AAA games last week and have won five of their last six games. Coach Brian Marks' team will move up in weight class on Saturday to play Class AAAAAA Kennesaw Mountain in the SEBA Hoop Festival at Pope High School.

Round 1 goes to the High… We have to play a complete game to take round 2. The beauty of this rivalry is that Tim and I have competed since '88. He has been steady at the High. I've moved a few times, from Beach to Windsor to Hardeeville to the High and now Johnson. I like the winds of change so… who knows. We are back in the lab mixing the Chemistry to come up with the winning formula. Know this, you will always get more than your moneys' worth when we both strap up… That's G!!

How about the Cedar Grove Boys? They are 6-0 with wins over St. Pius, Wooward and Green Forest. If you write about those other teams surely you write about the team that is leading 6AAA right now. Those kids have a lot of talent and are getting better every game.
December 17th, 2013
9:48 am
Perhaps if Cedar Grove reported their scores people would notice!! They are one of the top teams in all of AAA, but they do not post thier schedule and they do not post their scores (as required by the GHSA). So no one knows about them. It's too bad too, becuase they deserve some recognition!!
December 17th, 2013

Bball Fan check out maxpreps where the GHSA says its mandarory for them to post score, schedule and stats. Then tell me they aren't posted.

Savannah high has a better team then Johnson this year. Honestly they did last year also they was just young and Johnson had one of the best players in GA if not the best in Tim. This savannah team is better but Johnson has the swagger from being champs and this rivalry is still a great one!

"When I came back to UND 23 years after leaving the school for my Air Force career, I had received almost nothing that helped me figure out how much the campus had changed in those years. I figured out Campus Connection and registered for classes, bought my books at the bookstore and planned to attend classes and do my assigned work, get my degree and be done. I didn't foresee many opportunities for a student of my age to become involved in campus activities as I felt college was for "young" people.Early on that first semester I received an e-mail from the Adult Re-Entry Center inviting me to come to the Wednesday meeting of Coffee, Cookies, and Conversation and the e-mail included a brief description of both the Adult Re-Entry Program and the event. That time was available on my schedule so I swung by the next meeting. In hindsight, this was probably the best decision I have made while attending UND. What I found at the gathering was other students like myself that were older, some had families, some also had jobs, many had kids, all lived either in campus family housing or off campus, and all seemed to be looking for the same thing, people like themselves who were students with lives that went beyond classes and what club or party to go to this weekend. And the weekly speakers have opened my eyes to many services and programs the university has that make a better student. I have used several of these services and it has allowed me to be a much better student.
What the Adult Re-Entry Center did for me is allow me to understand the university and my program. Sandy Monette, the director at the time, helped me fully understand the Essential Studies program and advised me on some of the class requirements I had. As I continued to attend events and just swing by when I had a question, Sandy really helped me narrow my focus on my degree and progress as fast as I could. Another person that was part of the center was Kathryn Vigness, a graduate student that was doing an internship in the Adult Re-Entry Center. Kathryn, being a recent undergrad and current graduate student, being a student and fitting the Non-Traditional Student definition, was able to connect me with faculty and staff that could make me a better student and give me advise of some student pitfalls. Her perspective really opened my eyes to being a student and being much more proactive in my education.
The center itself became my "home base" while on campus. As my schedule changed from semester to semester, sometimes it got hard to attend the Wednesday gatherings, but I always went there to have lunch, do homework, use computers, get advice, or just hang out and visit with other students.
The center has also given me the opportunity to meet old and new friends. The students that frequent the center are my "security blanket" in being non-traditional and slightly older than a majority of the student body, we have common likes and dislikes, needs and abilities. I always look forward to going to the center to see who is there and what is new in their lives.
Now that I am nearly done with my degree, the current director, Jessica Rosencrans, has helped me verify requirements for graduation, continues to facilitate the Wednesday gathering, and is always there to support me and my goals.
In my six, soon to be seven, semesters back in school now, the Non-Traditional Student Center, the staff, and the students that gather there has helped me not only complete my educational goals, but supported and guided me, advised me, and shown me new opportunities to succeed and attain higher degrees of educational results than I could have ever expected, to include becoming a Student Ambassador and being selected as the 2010-2011 Non-Traditional Student of the Year."

A.Michael Byrne, a tilesetter
and industry consultant from Los Olivos, Calif., responds:
First, there are several mortar bed installation methods that
require no reinforcing. These are typically for floors where
you're putting a bonded mortar bed over an intact
slab-on-grade. These methods, which are based on ANSI A108
specification standards, are described and illustrated in the
Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation, available from
the Tile Council of America (864/646-8453,
For thick mortar bed installations over
wood floors (left), ANSI specs call for wire fabric reinforcing
and a cleavage membrane between the subfloor and the mortar.
For thin mortar beds (right), use expanded metal lath nailed or
stapled to the subfloor.
I'll assume you're talking about laying a mortar-bed tile
floor over wood framing. The tile industry recognizes two
methods for reinforcing mortar setting beds for floor tiles
over wood-framed floors (F141 and F145 in the TCA
Handbook). The difference in the two methods has to do
with the thickness of the mortar.
For thick bed installations — from 1 1/4-inch minimum to
2-inch maximum thickness — the ANSI A108 specification,
A-2.1.7, calls for one of the following welded wire
For this type installation, the thickness of the mortar
requires that the reinforcing fabric be positioned somewhere in
the middle of the mortar bed. When I set tile using this
method, I'll dump about half the mortar on the floor, lay the
wire mesh on top of that, then spread the rest of the mortar.
This works fairly well with mud-bed mortar because it's fairly
dry and will support the wire. It isn't necessary to use any
other supports for the wire.
The thin mortar bed method (3/4-inch-minimum thickness) calls
for flat, expanded metal mesh weighing not less than 2.5 pounds
per square yard. Painted lath is allowed, but galvanized lath
is preferred. The TCA F-145 detail shows the lath fastened
snugly to the subfloor, with a cleavage membrane installed
between the two.
In either method, a cleavage membrane, which can be 15-pound
asphalt-saturated roofing felt or 4-mil poly, separates the mud
from the wood floor and prevents the wood subflooring from
drawing moisture out of the mix during the curing phase.
I prefer mortar beds for tile floor installation because they
provide a smooth, flat surface for tilesetting, but they
require specific detailing beyond the type of mesh to use. If
you plan to use mortar setting beds, get a copy of the TCA
Handbook for a review of all the details.
