Magic circle split as Clifford Chance follows Freshfields on associate pay
Readers' comments (19)
why is the lawyer just focussing on magic circle pay rises? what about the rest of the top 10/20? It makes for more interesting reading when you compare a larger group of firms....
Are these pay rises annual or bi-annual and do they even outstrip inflation? What was the recent average bonus of a PQE 2, 3, ... associate and how realistic is it for a junior associate to expect a 20k "full bonus", and what does she have to do for it?
Please reference the source of the data. It would be interesting to see the same for the Top 20 (I do get fed up with the narrow focus on magic circle) as well as above 3PQE.
The salaries look surprising similar at these firms and I wonder if their rates and utilisation are also so uniform accross these grades!
How unfortunate to see the scale of the bonus that may be paid. Not only is it coungter-intuitive it is not supported by empirical evidence. Research from the 1980s right up to teh present day clearly shows teh disruption that can occur when bonus payments make up such a significant portion of pay. Employees focus on those elements connected to bonus payments and client relationships suffer and employment stability falls. Just look at the banking sector to see what a mess can develop. This is not a wise move and it begs the question; why not use a good employment agreement and appraisal process to drive performance?
The PQE model is bizarre. Why should salaries increase just because you've sat behind a desk for a year? More experience doesn't equate to being better. Salaries should only be on performance.
are you being dumb, 9.51am? More experience does equate to being better. It might not increase your natural intuitive ability, but you certainly do things quicker and become more aware of the issues that your clients are facing and ways of dealing with them.
A little perpective please. MPs salaries are currently £65738, frozen from 2010.
please show me a meaningful selection of CC associates who have ever been paid a bonus of almost £25k before factoring this in total comp!
Anonymous | 8-Jun-2011 9:51 am, what are you on about? Trainees start at CC with zero legal experience (hence the need to train). They then gain more experience over their years with the firm (that's why most trainees go there I imagine). Experience will generally make them better lawyers (do you seriously disagree with that?). Sure, there will be some divergence as to how quickly they improve (depending on their particular ability and experiences), but in general they will get better. This won't necessarily hold true for the entirety of their careers, but for those early years (and trainees probably only stay at CC for 4 - 6 yrs on average anyway), they will get better as their PQE increases. If they do not get better then they will be made to realise that CC is not for them. And if they do nothing but sit at their desk year after year then this will happen very quickly...
"A little perpective please. MPs salaries are currently £65738, frozen from 2010."
We're talking about people who actually work for a living, not tax-consumers.
All about the notes.
No, 9.56am, I'm not. You could have someone who's 2 years PQE who has a greater understanding of the issues that clients face and be able to offer a better service and insight than someone with 3 or 4 PQE. Sure, experience in itself may be an improvement, but it should not be the overriding measure of remmuneration. A far better system would be to ditch PQE banding completely, and instead have a career structure that looks at a variety of factors (client service, technical knowledge, business development etc.) and be completely merit based. Being "generally better" by doing your job for another year should not result in a salary jump of £8k.
Support staff increases hit a whopping 1.5% at CC this year. Of course, inflation only impacts on lawyers.
Yes, 1:30pm, you are.
Sure, you *could* have "someone who's 2 years PQE who has a greater understanding of the issues that clients face and be able to offer a better service and insight than someone with 3 or 4 PQE". But on average (and I would suggest in the vast majority of cases) that won't be how things are.
More importantly, how would you suggest law firms go about comparing the relative merits of their lawyers if they ignore PQE? They'll be doing different work, in different areas, for different clients and with different levels of responsibility (eg comparing a senior associate in finance with a junior in real estate). Despite the best efforts of the HR folk, I've never seen any set of objective appraisal criteria that could adequately distinguish the relative performance of two different lawyers of the same PQE, never mind different PQEs.
The reality is that appraisals in our profession inevitably involve a lot of subjective judgments, and it is better if those subjective judgments aren't the sole determinant of remuneration. That's why firms focus primarily on PQE when setting salaries, but then use their appraisal processes to fine tune the remuneration and to give the lawyers in question a feel for whether they are doing well/badly relative to their their level of experience (and hence whether the firm will want to keep them for the longer term).
The real news is being missed here... the MC and Silver Cirule are falling behind in terms of pay and resting on their laurels, while others push forward.
Other firms in the Silver Circle are not moving their NQs up to 1 PQE until 18 months PQE (I have heard that this is the case at Herbert Smith and some MC firms).
Take Watson, Farley & Williams for example (also on the front page today, I see), their September 2011 NQs are being paid £62k, while their 6 month PQEs are paid £67k at the moment.
Anonymous 4.59pm is on the right lines here but I would say that it is the legal profession as a whole that is now falling behind on salaries (excluding partners). There are very very many jobs out there now paying more. Mid ranking researchers are on 100K plus, GPs are on 150K plus, dentists 200K plus. The gap between partners and associates has never been greater.
Don't believe all the GP bashing the Government are so keen on. The average earnings of a GP partner are 110k, a salaried GP is about 74k. Their wages are not relative to London, either; the highest earning GP was in the Outer Hebrides.
It would be interesting to know the amount they get paid on a per hour basis
Agreed with Anonymous | 8-Jun-2011 10:53 am. I haven't heard of any NQs getting bonuses in CC, much less the generous £10K that was implied in this article.

iHub By Editor / July 19, 2012
88mph to Invest $200k in Mobile/Web markets
Tech companies in Africa have had to deal with scalability, funding, sustained growth, mentorship , and product pricing (Impact of ICT Hubs on African Entrepreneurs,2012).
Now, Nairobi based accelerator 88mph is investing $200,000 in start-ups (up to $24k per start-up) across Africa. This fund is targeting start-ups with ideas that can scale across English-speaking Africa.
The combination of a large market, young population and opportunities within the mobile/web industry makes this accelerator attractive to any tech entrepreneurs who are looking to solve real challenges.
"We believe there is an outstanding opportunity for commercial mobile/web companies in this market. There is, however, a need for early stage, risk-willing funding and the support a program as ours aim to offer. We want to create success stories so other entrepreneurs come to us and say Cool, I want to do that too!" Nikolai Barnwell, 88mph.
More Details on the $24k per start-up Fund:
• Deadline August 15, 2012
• Startups can apply now on 88mph.ac
• The $24k investment will take a 6 – 18% equity stake in each startup
• Altogether 8 – 15 teams will receive an investment and get accepted into the 3- month program
• The teams will be notified if they have been accepted to the program by Sept 5th
• Program starts on September 15th in the 800m2 88mph Garage in Nairobi, Kenya
• 88mph is a privately backed seed fund
• Besides funding, the accelerator program includes exposure to 88mph's mentors & networks of business and tech professionals, like Johanna Kollar, from Startup Support Africa at Google, Larry Madowo, Anchor at CNBC Africa, and Ranjith Cherickel, Head of Services Sales, Nokia Siemens Africa
• Startups in the program will have access to tech hubs in Nairobi and Cape Town, as well as to 88mph's partner tech hubs across Africa

Hey. Would love some feedback for my deadlift form...
Hey. Would love some feedback for my deadlift form...
Not good. Re-read SS.
The ascent looks pretty solid -- good arch, chest out, etc. On the descent it looks like your knees are getting in the way of bringing the bar down to the ground, something needs to be corrected there, I believe.
You got the right idea but your form is still off. I agree with Kastro. Read SS. By looking at the vid you can easily keep your chin up higher and eyes focused higher as well. This will help give you better form until your used to it.
why ya re-posting? You already posted this vid & asked for a critique??
You not like the last responses? If you want more, just bump the old one would been easier.

RAW Bench: 390
RAW Deadlift: 601
Here is new video after re-reading SS. How does it look?
Also - I'm confused. Im also learning power cleans which the first part of are deadlifts basically. But in the powerclean the knee comes back a little, bar raises above knee then the knee jutts out again slightly over bar. But it says nothing about this for Deadlifts.
Power Cleans and Deadlifts are two different movements.
Look for videos of "Koklyaev" on Youtube - he has very good technique on the deadlift and power clean (former olympic lifter).

Your form is fine. You're officially overthinking this now. Focus on getting stronger and maintaining the form you have with heavier weight.
These are fine. Now get stronger.
I'm pretty sure that if you really focused on keeping your chest up and pinching your shoulder blades together, you'll HAVE to lower your butt to begin the rep. I think that'll give you a better arch in the starting position.
What are you referring to by " read SS", quite new to this forum and would like to read this?
SS = Starting Strength. Read the Sticky at the top, it will tell you all you need to know.
I need chalk. I need chalk. I need chalk.
I struggled to hang onto the bar for some of these reps. Will get chalk asap. But please, how did my form hold up now that Im starting to throw some more weight on the bar.
These are fine. You definitely don't look like you're 'locking out' at the top though in the later reps, as opposed to the first rep.
Ok cool, thanks for reply. Probably the only reason I wasnt locking out was because of grip nothing else, hopefully chalk will fix this.
If you are using the deadlift as more of a generalized size and strength movement I suggest you involve your quads to a greater degree. What you are doing is very close to a stiff legged deadlift with very little quad drive. Other than that your form looks fine (perhaps keep the weight a touch closer to your shins).

It looks like you are taking a deep breath when you are hunched over. I imagine that makes it pretty tough to push out on the belly. Take a deep breath and push out on your stomach before getting your butt down.
Get your damned butt down and stop thinking so much. For the most part you are fine. Try to sit back and drive through your heels.

Yun and I like the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. In fact, we are members. The joint is very close to our apartment, so we have easy access. I noticed something odd that happens there though. There is a big beautiful field with rows of cherry trees on either side. Everyone that comes into the gardens, and I do mean everyone, brings a little blanket with them so they can sit and rest a while in this field. For some strange reason, you can sit on the grass but you can't sit on a blanket. There are 2 guards, whose sole job is to go around and tell people they can't sit on a blanket. The problem being, there's no sign anywhere telling you this important fact. There is, of course, an easy solution to the situation. You could have signs at the 2 entrances saying, you cannot sit on a blanket anywhere in the gardens. The person who sells you the ticket at the entrance, could also tell you about the blanket policy. Or, the guard, who takes your ticket as you enter could also tell you. But that is not how things work at the Botanical Gardens. There is also a second solution. Let people sit on frigging blankets. Everyone and their mother seems to want to do it. BUT NO, they have to have these 2 poor guards go around telling people as they are all relaxed and lounging on their blankets. "Hi there, I am about to tell you something stupid so don't get mad at me, but can you roll up your nice clean comfortable blanket and can you take your one week old baby and lay him in the dirt. Thank you." They don't actually say that, but they might as well. Anyway, my point is that this situation seemed to me like a microcosm of big governments. People having no ability to make a change to fix something that isn't working out so well. I'm sure the workers are told: "this is the way we've always done it, don't rock the boat, you can't fight city hall." The fact of the matter is, I don't really care about sitting on blankets or grass. It's just that when I am relaxing and drawing there, I have to see the look on people's faces as this scene unfolds over and over again. I've come up with an idea. I want to take a large blanket and sew it to the bottom hem of my t-shirt. It will be like a long wedding dress train, trailing behind me. Technically it will be an article of clothing. As I get to the field I will spread my t-shirt blanket train out on the grass and sit down on it. The guards will be all flustered. Is it a t-shirt or is it a blanket? If they ask me not to sit on the blanket, I will say it is NOT a blanket but it is my t-shirt train. Lawyers will get involved. The story will make all the newspapers. People will take sides. It will escalate. This is how wars start. If you look at all the trouble in the Middle East, it can all be traced back to a little situation just like the one I am describing. So I say, Let the people sit on the stupid blankets.

I love it.
- ann @ studiohyde said...
Has anyone ever asked them Why they can't sit on the blankets? or do the Guards not know why! Probably not, they wouldn't be expected to understand such a complicated question. Love your drawings though, worth not having a blanket to see them, lol.
- Wallartidea said...
Such a funny post,love it.
- Rod MacGregor said...
You could train little Kane squirrels with hand guns to go into the trees and take pot-shots at the guards whilst you were explaining the blanket T-shirt thing....or you could make a little charge for people to sit on your T-shirt with you.. Later on you wash the baby sick out of it and reflect on what a fun day you had at the botanical gardens.
- Joe Nevin said...
This could get ugly fast. What next, limited air strikes? Regime change?
Seriously though, I love the T-shirt train idea. But what about a cape? Nobody can object to a superhero-type cape.
(May I suggest a squirrel motif for your superhero cape - a flying squirrel.)

When low-status males have no chance of getting access to females via traditional routes such as fighting or signalling their prowess, they may attempt more deceptive means of getting a mate.
As an example, some male fish take advantage of the external fertilisation of eggs by hiding on the periphery of the courting male's territory (including in some cases disguising themselves as females), and rushing in at the last moment in an attempt to fertilise the eggs. This strategy can be dangerous, but for males that simply aren't in the game, it may be their only option.
The technical term for this behaviour is kleptogamy, but it is better known as the "sneaky fucker" strategy. I've often heard and read in the blogosphere that by John Maynard Smith coined the phrase, but I haven't been able to turn up anything authoritative.
The earliest use of the term I have been able to find is by Richard Dawkins and John Krebs in their chapter Animal Signals: Information or Manipulation in the 1978 first edition of Krebs and Nicholas Davies Behavioural Ecology: An Evolutionary Approach (HT: Rob Brooks). The relevant passage is as follows:
It is especially interesting that the movements of the eventual loser of a contest closely parallel those of the winner until a few moments before giving up, just as one would expect if the contest involves both bluff and assessment. A similar effect was observed in red deer stags (Cervus elephus) by Clutton-Brock (in prep.); the stags compete for hinds to add to their harems, and contests consist of prolonged roaring duels. Escalated contests are rare, and they are costly because of the high risk of injury and because subordinate males, known as sneaky fuckers, may steal matings during a prolonged fight. Contests are settled by roaring: the two males roar at each other with a gradually increasing tempo until one suddenly gives up …
Interestingly, the mention of sneaky fuckers is an aside and not the point of the paragraph. Also, that Dawkins and Krebs "known as sneaky fuckers" suggests the term was already established.
So, a question. Does anyone know of an earlier reference to the sneaky fucker strategy?
UPDATE: In the comments, Alex Sutherland notes an earlier reference from New Scientist in 1977 (Vol 75, p673). In an article The games animals play, Jeremy Cherfas writes (also on the subject of Clutton-Brock's work on stags):
A stag can gain females by successfully challenging other stags. Fights start with a session of roaring, which may be followed by parallel walking and perhaps a tussle with locked antlers. If the challenger had a harem, the winner takes control of both sets of hinds. The benefits of a larger harem in terms of increased reproductive potential, are clear, but what of the costs? Clutton-Brock estimates that during the average reproductive life of four years, 20 per cent of the stags are permanently injured in fights. The costs are considerable. For a bachelor without a harem the benefits outweigh the costs, and one finds that harem owners initiate fights less often than bachelors. The costs are also increased when both stags hold harems, largely because young stags take advantage of the fight to steal hinds from the harems. (This is known as kleptogyny, but Clutton-Brock and most others prefer "the sneaky fucker strategy".) Fights, and injuries, are more frequent in mid rut, when most conceptions occur.
This passage confirms the phrase was already well established by 1977. And again, the mention is an aside rather than a discussion of the sneaky fucker strategy itself.

The Big Showtime Picture
By this point, you've hopefully seen all the news, photos and First Looks we've posted from Apple's It's Showtime event in San Francisco: what's missing right now is the 'big picture' view of the event, and what this really means to Apple, iPod fans, and the industries they're impacting.
In a sentence, Apple's delivery today was one step short of phenomenal in each category. The new iPod nanos represent almost everything average users have been clamoring for - hard shells, more capacity for the dollar, and color options. Does the nano need to play video? Not yet, really; it lacks the storage capacity to really hold videos. Gut feeling is that flash memory prices and the resultant ability to store video on flash devices make this nano long in the tooth by early- to mid-2007, but for the 2006 holidays, it's going to be huge.
Hard to believe, but the iPod shuffle even got better, shrinking further, gaining a metal body, and hitting a lower-than-ever 1GB price. Did the shuffle need a screen? Not after the nano came out; we frankly would have preferred that Apple just kill this product and replace it with a $99 1GB nano, but what the heck, $79 for that little thing is fine by us, and great for athletes who just don't care about a screen. Rear clip could become an issue - we'd prefer more types of wearable options - but we'll see.
Apple's updates to iTunes? Overall, awesome. Videos at 640x480 were exactly what we wanted, and the new interface tweaks are great, too. Movies added to the store? Great. The pricing is even decent, except for two caveats: Target and the like will cream fixed-price iTunes movie sales of Library titles because of their increasingly frequent $5-7 sales of uncompromised DVD-quality videos. And you can't burn iTunes movies to DVDs and watch them without carrying around an Apple-compatible device, which is pretty weak. Pricing flexibility ("$9.99 max") would really fix the former; better fair use rights the latter.
iTV also has a lot of potential, though its price is almost ridiculous ($299? No.) and really needs to fall before it's released in Q1 2007. More comments on this one when it's closer to release.
The one and only letdown of this event was Apple's failure to deliver the next-generation video iPod everyone's been hoping for. We've known since last year that the 5G iPod was a sub-optimal video player - the 2.5" screen is not as big as it needs to be, and backed by limited format support. Today's substitute - a "second-generation fifth-generation iPod," as one Apple staffer called it - isn't enough. People who held off on the last 5G aren't going to bite on this one, despite its improved battery life and screen brightness, because size matters in this case. Firmware updates (gapless playback/search menu) aside, the storage capacity bumps and price decreases are great, in our judgment, but not what people have been asking for.
Overall, this was a big day for Apple, and one that guarantees that it will own the 2006 holiday season… for one reason. Going into this event, the question was how Apple would stack up to its biggest potential competitors - SanDisk on flash, Microsoft on hard disk. The answer looks like this: Apple now has a price advantage over both companies, but it's being outgunned on features by both of them - Sansa with FM radio and screen size, and Zune with an even bigger screen and wireless functionality. At the moment, it seems like Apple is ahead of the curve in size, cosmetics, and likely battery life, but sliding behind the curve on interface and screen technology. We'll reserve judgment on the latter point until we've played with final Zune and (perhaps) newer Sansa hardware, but Apple seems to have its 2007 model engineering work cut out for it.

VANCOUVER -- The Vancouver Whitecaps will wear white uniforms with blue trim when they join Major League Soccer next season.
The team unveiled the new uniforms Thursday.
Produced by Adidas, the official MLS uniform supplier, the new uniforms have three stripes running from the collar and down both arms in blue. Thin horizontal stripes of blue, representing the ocean, run across the front of the jersey from above the chest and grow in thickness.
The jersey will feature the club's new logo on the left chest, an MLS logo on the right arm and a Canadian flag on the left arm. The front of the jerseys will also have the logo of Bell, which has been selected as the team's premier sponsor.
On the back collar, the text "Since 1974" pays homage to the year the Whitecaps played their first season in the old North American Soccer League.
"Soccer fans around the world take great pride in displaying their passion and loyalty for their favourite team by wearing their team's jersey on a regular basis," Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi said in a release.
"We believe both our many long-serving fans and new supporters of the club will proudly wear these new jerseys throughout Vancouver or wherever they may be around the globe."
Earlier this week the Whitecaps unveiled their new logo. It has the words Vancouver Whitecaps FC written in white on a blue background. A stylized W represents the snow-capped mountain peaks of the North Shore and the white-capped waves of the ocean.
Season tickets for Vancouver's inaugural MLS season will go on sale Saturday.
About 10,000 deposits have already been received. The team plans to cap tickets at 16,500. Prices start at $319.
Canada will have three MLS franchises when Montreal joins the league in 2012. Toronto FC entered the league in 2007.

Tuesday September 7, 2010
For Immediate Release:Louisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622 Stephen Haag 574-1204/645-1752It is 60 feet by 40 feet of spectacular red, white and blue. Anyone who has been at Thunder Over Louisville to kick off Derby Festival events has seen it as the symbol that kicks off one of the most impressive fireworks shows in the United States.
On Sunday, September 12th, Thunder's American flag will be carried 1.5 miles to show support for the men and women who are currently serving in America's military as part of the 2010 Freedom Walk.
The Walk is sponsored and underwritten by Wayne and Pam Hettinger. Wayne is the producer of Thunder Over Louisville, and the flag carried in the Freedom Walk is one of the two used to kick off Thunder each year.
The 2010 Freedom Walk is one of many events leading up to "Second Sunday" in October.
"I am pleased to have this event as an official Second Sunday preliminary event," says Councilman Robin Engel (R-22), who chairs Jefferson County's Second Sunday program."We appreciate Wayne's providing an opportunity for the community to pay tribute to our service members, both past and present."
"I can think of no better way to honor the men and women who serve our country than with the Freedom Walk," says Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch (D-13). "It will be a great motivator for those who want to take part in Second Sunday and take the first steps to a healthier life style."
Joining Engel and Welch as sponsors of the 2010 Second Sunday are Judy Green (D-1), Barbara Shanklin (D-2), Cheri Bryant Hamilton (D-5), Tom Owen (D-8), Tina Ward-Pugh (D-9), Rick Blackwell (D-12), Marianne Butler (D-15), Kelly Downard (R-16), Glen Stuckel (R-17), Jon Ackerson (R-18), Stuart Benson (R-20), Dan Johnson (D-21), Madonna Flood (D-24) and Doug Hawkins (R-25)
The 2010 Freedom Walk is scheduled for 3:00 PM that day, beginning and ending at the rear gates of Slugger Field at the corner of Preston and Witherspoon Streets. Those who help carry the flag will be accompanied by patriotic songs played by Galileans.
This is a non-partisan/non-exclusive event open to the general public. This is not a fundraiser for any organization, or a platform to discuss politics or policies
This year's Second Sunday event will be held in Iroquois Park on Sunday, October 10th. If you would like to learn about the activities of the event and any additional information go to: http://www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroCouncil/Members/22/2ndsunday.htm

text: Tolstoy: a thing's significance (importance) lies in its being something everyone can understand. - That is both true and false. What makes a subject hard to understand - if it's something significant and important - is not that before you can understand it you need to be specially trained in abstruse matters, but the contrast between understanding the subject and what most people _want_ to see. Because of this the very things which are most obvious may be the hardest of all to understand. What has to be overcome is a difficulty having to do with the will, rather than with the intellect.

Fishing in America - Top US Places to Drop a Line [Infographic]
Every fisherman dreams of the big catch. Every lake, river and coastline carries within it the chance to reel in...glory. America is awash with some of the world's most amazing fishing hotspots - here's the line on some of the best.
From lakes to rivers to deep sea sport fishing, prime fishing spots all over the country lure in anglers year round.
MiamiOne of America's top fishing destinations, Miami offers everything from deep sea fishing to backcountry angling in the Everglades. Florida's recreational fishery is among the largest in the country. Saltwater fishing around Miami is only half the story. To the west, Miami opens into one of the most exciting freshwater fishing regions in the country – the Everglades. Some places to fish: Piers and docks. Biscayne Bay. Everglades National Park . offshore on the Atlantic.
San DiegoSan Diego has one of the world's largest sport fishing fleets and is near the most prolific tuna and billfish waters in the Pacific Ocean. It's the "Sport Fishing Capital." Did you know the first plastic worm was created in San Diego in the '40s? Fish all around the San Diego area for species like halibut, sea bass, panfish, bonefish, and even marlin and swordfish.
MinneapolisAnglers can target almost any freshwater species in the Twin Cities and around Minnesota. The hardy won't want to miss Minnesota's popular winter tradition: ice fishing. Mille Lacs is famous for its ice-fishing hut city that pops up every year on its 132,000 acre surface. In warmer months, hit Minneapolis's rivers and lakes for fly fishing, small craft boat fishing and large craft boat fishing for bass, walleye, steelhead, catfish and many more species.
SeattleFind plenty of salt and freshwater fishing action within a relatively short distance of the city of Seattle. The Puget Sound offers year-round fishing for halibut, flounder, lingcod and rockfish. However, the name of the game is "Salmon"! Major Seattle fishing areas include the Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island, Lake Washington, Olympic Peninsula, and Lake Union.
New OrleansNew Orleans offers more places to find large mouth bass than anywhere else in the country, and fish for other giants here: redfish, speckled trout, snapper, tarpon and catfish. Head to City Park, Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Salvador, Biloxi March, or Venice and Grand Isle for great recreational fishing.
Mammoth LakesLocated in the Inyo National Forest , and just 32 miles south of Yosemite National Park , Mammoth Lakes is a first-class resort destination and offers some of the best lake fishing in its 100-plus lakes. Mammoth Lakes stock 15,000 pounds of fish in the 2-5 lb. range, and the Department of Fish and Game reports the annual allotment for catchable trout is 250,000 pounds. If you like to fish, you'll love the Mammoth Lakes fishing derbies.

Miley Cyrus Gone Wild on MySpace?
More suggestive shots of the Hannah Montana star surface online.
Hannah Montana's at it again! In January, Miley Cyrus raised eyebrows when racy photos of her leaked on the Internet. Not Vanessa-of-High-School-Musical wild, but definitely too sexy or suggestive for some parents' comfort.
Now AOL reports more racy pics of 15-year-old teen Miley have surfaced--this time of her flashing her bra, lying in a guy's lap, and baring her midriff. The seductive shots were supposedly hacked from her private MySpace page.
How can you prevent your own teen from following in Miley's footsteps? Mom•Logic spoke with family counselor Rosanne Tobey about how to talk to your kids about the dangers of posting questionable photos on the 'net.
By the time your private business has gone public, you can't take it away. "I think this is a perfect example parents can use to illustrate why NOT to post pics you don't want the entire world to see," Rosanne says. "Even though you think the pics will never get out because 'I'm just sending it to my friend' or 'only the people in my network can see it,' you're just assuming they won't forward it or post it elsewhere. All it takes is one click of a button. And once it's out there, it's essentially impossible to get it back."
Kids must understand the permanence of the actions they take. "Teens tend to be so savvy, yet they sometimes have a hard time realizing the reach that the Web might have," Rosanne says. "If a racy pic is up somewhere with your name attached, and a future employer Googles you and finds it, it can really come back to haunt you."
Even if you trust your teen, they can still make bad decisions. "Talk to your kids about this, even if you think they'd never do something like this in a million years," says Rosanne. "It's not so much that your teen's not trustworthy--this is just typical behavior of their age."
In light of these new pics, is Miley really kid-friendly anymore?
leave her alone. you don't she'll
be another bittany spears.
leave her alone or she might get wayyyy
out of control
You want your childs role model to be
half naked.My child came up to me and
said I want to be just like miley cyrus
and the next day she posted on my
home page for sending half naked picture
of herself to her boyfriend.She can stay
the same way but.I don't want my child
to be like her.
its not our proplem
i dont think that that waz even her it didnt even look like her so i dont even think people should be talking about her
i think pople need to stop judgement on miley cyrus
Leav her alone shes trying her best and then when she does try her best you guys reck it. LEAVE HER ALONE.
can i see you naked
Who gives a crap??????? At least she isnt on drugs or robbing banks and killing people. Shes just a teen let her show her goodies.
anthony again from comment 29 its nick jonas to blame he screwed her up so think again about getting tickets to one of the jonas brothers concert

Abstract: The discussion presented in this paper indicates that despite an ostensible focus upon environmental institutional capacity, with the development of a National Commission on Sustainable Development, there remains a continuation with entrenched and 'narrow' patterns of governance and decision-making. As was the case when 'participation' and 'sustainable development' were the topical buzzwords of the 1980s and early 1990s, there have recently been a plethora of international, regional, national and local programmes associated with environmental institutional capacity. It is suggested that systems are maintained in their present form through subtle strategies and tactics, particularly those exercised by 'experts' and certain business groups. Together, they present a significant barrier to the development of more collaborative approaches to governance.
Notes: The first paper to explore to explore the concepts of 'collaborative planning' and 'institutional capacity building' in the Caribbean.

MC Frontalot: Disaster
Act II. Molten lava is chasing them around.
Big blue bolts of lightning spring up from underground.
But our hero and his team have some hope for a cure:
"If we can just get this crew into the center of the earth,
We can install a nuclear device then detonate it.
My findings indicate that this will stave off devastation."

Just a Guy Who Talks TOO MUCH!
Learn a lesson from me: Don't vent about marital problems in earshot of your kids.
I have a big mouth. Anyone that knows me knows I'm highly opinionated and my family, in particular, lives with me both repeating myself and just droning on endlessly. It's as if I don't get an "Okay" or "Yeah, Dad" I assume my boys haven't heard me.
Recently, I've begun a very stupid habit of complaining or voicing out loud issues between my wife and I, venting and expecting a sympathetic ear, to one or the other of my boys. I'm not voicing anything of a deeply personal nature, but it is still inappropriate discussion for them to hear from their dad, about their stepmother.
Our biggest bone of contention relates to the cleanliness and order of our home. She likes it Felix clean while I'm fine with Oscar messy (the opposite comedic characters in Neil Simon's seminal play "The Odd Couple"). Dog hair in the bed doesn't especially bother us. Needless to say, the boys are boys and tend to feel as I do about this general issue.
That, of course, is NOT the issue. With a blended family, I should be doing everything I can to support my wife, (their stepmom) and when or if I disagree with her, I should only discuss it with her. We are struggling to find a balance on our respective wishes and desires, as every blended family strives to do. I have to just "shut up" sometimes, without a doubt.
But, while I tell my boys how perfect I am, I'm clearly imperfect -- an ongoing "work-in-progress," and clearly, just a guy!
|Bruce Sallan gave up his showbiz career a decade ago to raise his two boys, full-time, now 13 and 16. His internationally syndicated column, A DAD'S POINT-OF-VIEW, is his take on the challenges of parenthood and male/female issues, both as a single dad and now, newly remarried, in a blended family. Join Bruce's A DAD'S POINT-OF-VIEW fan page at Facebook and follow him on Twitter. To contact Bruce, visit his new website brucesallan.com.
Bruce - you're a big-time writer - hire a regular cleaning crew NOW! This isn't worthy of fighting, though it does sound as if she's a bit more anal than need be but that is her way of having some control in your home!
I have the opposite problem. My husband barely talks, let alone about anything important!
My wife and I have the same problem (except I'm Felix and she's Oscar). Ironically, as I'm typing this, my wife is on her hands and knees scrubbing the kitchen floor. Man, I love that woman!
My advice would be to turn the tables on her once in a while and surprise her by going the extra mile to clean up (you and the boys) to show her you hear what she's saying.
Thanks Chris for the comment and suggestion. Unfortunately, when I get down on my hands and knees, it kills my back. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. There are other things we can and should do (more often).
I think a man who talks who talks is much better than one who hides in his cave. There is no doubt Bruce, that you not only talk but reveal everything — maybe too much.
Bruce, as a child of a blended family, I appreciate your insight and newfound committment to discussing your marital issues with your spouse as opposed to airing the issues in front of or with your boys. My experience is that it makes kids uncomfortable and also reinforces any negative feelings they may have privately with their "stepmom". I think this approach is a great sign of respect for all members of your family!
It doesn't make a difference if it's the "real" parent or a "step" parent; parents need to be careful about what they say in front of their kids.
Disagreeing about the level of cleanliness is no biggie; but anything that could be construed as being critical about the other person's cleanliness or lack their off ("Why are you such a slob?") isn't cool.
And don't worry; your kids already know you're not perfect, no matter what you tell them! That's a teen's job.
I'm with dennise. My husband never talks and when he does nothing of importance comes out of his mouth. I try to get him to express his feelings more but 8years later he still rather just keep quiet.

Chuck kisses Rachel in the limo, but gives up pretty quickly. She complains that he said he was better, but he says in essence that Serena was right: "I am. Just not for you." She falls back against the seat and remembers how easy it was overcoming her own questionable heterosexuality in order to constantly make out with Eva Pigford, and why can't he just do that.
Outside the DUMBO loft, it's finally getting cooler. Dan asks if Vanessa's okay, and she says she made the right choice. Dan tries to be interested, but his mind is blown by the whole "Nate Archibald is once again a gigolo" concept. V slugs him and reminds him this is a secret. "Who would I tell? Who would I tell except everyone I've ever met?" Classy to the end. Vanessa makes a hilarious face, and he says he won't tell. "But why'd you tell him to stay with that woman?" he asks, as though entirely for our benefit: "I thought you, you know, I thought you liked him." That's why she did it. She's so sad right now!
"She told me that if Nate left her, she would... Go to the FBI and tell them where Nate's Dad is hiding out. So I really didn't have a choice." Dan is amazed, because that's the kind of awesomeness he always pretends he commands, but now here she is just naturally being that way. He tries to hold her, but she pulls away and looks out into the city; he watches her, not crying, and puts his arm softly across her shoulders, looking out toward the future together. She lets him. "Love may fade with the season, but some friendships are year-round." I can't be bothered by that. I'm happy with everybody right now. How weird. I love you Gossip Girl, and our year-round love affair. Send Serena balls-out fucking crazy next week and destroy Dan from the soles of his feet to the top of his pointy gorgeous little head, and we'll call it even. XOXO!

it was really delish....i wasn't expecting the lentils to change color so dramatically though.....i wanted the soup to be that orange hue
Spiced Coconut-Red Lentil Soup
chef3192 Posted: 03/16/09
nilofer Posted: 12/23/08
I make lentils (daal) and rice regularly, but had never tried it with coconut milk in soup form. Very flavorful, and different tasting even though I use most of the same ingredients in the dishes I prepare. The only reason I'm not giving it a five star rating is because I'm not sure what to serve it with - naan is fine, but I'd like something that will make it more of a complete meal. I may try the lentil rice cakes without the salsa in the oct 2008 issue.
evandam Posted: 01/12/09
I added soy sauce instead of salt as well as a little fish sauce. With those modifications I would rate it a 4 to 5 star; as written it's a 3. Will definitely make this again, probably omitting the basil since I don't think it made much difference.
EllenDeller Posted: 01/06/09
I am holding back 5 stars because I needed to add more flavor to what otherwise might have been a bit bland. Before adding coconut milk, I stirred in 2 TB of Indian ginger chutney and a good dollop of Dinosaur Chipotle Garlic hot sauce. After those additions, it was great! Smooth, silky, very filling. Made a great lunch with a pear salad.
bibliomaniagirl Posted: 11/29/08
This is a great soup recipe! It comes together very fast and is a good source of veggie protein. I served it with garlic naan. I also used an immersion blender which cut down on time.
emilyr Posted: 11/10/09
I thought this was a very flavorful soup, and will definitely add it to my soup collection. Two things I'd tweak: the basil doesn't really add anything, so I'd probably only use it if I had an abundance laying around; also, I'd only puree half the soup, as I like a little texture to my bean soups.
TabernacleMAC Posted: 03/13/09
Soothing but light, this soup's flavor mingle lightly on the tongue and have a subtle richness.
ahewisonsmith Posted: 04/07/09
Love, love, love this soup....make it all the time, for company, and just for us. Wouldn't change a thing. I often don't bother pureeing it.
tara31 Posted: 08/09/09
I used green lentils, which I already had, and no-chicken broth to make a vegetarian soup. The imulsion blender is a must for this recipe, as it blends the flavors beautifully. Even better the next day!
cbording Posted: 07/25/09
Great basic recipe with excellent flavour and smooth consistency. I added more coriander, ground tumeric, sweet mango chutney, fish sauce, soy sauce, chopped, fresh cilantro and a little shredded coconut, and served it with chili marinated, grilled king prawns and papadums sprinkled with caraway seeds.
healyourself Posted: 10/31/12
I tried this recipe tonight and it came out great. The only thing I did differently is that instead of using cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and lime juice, I used a pre-mixed yellow curry paste that I purchased from an Asian market. The paste contains coriander seed, cinnamon, cumin, kaffir lime peel, and other ingredients. I also had to use a bit more salt but I used sea salt which tends to be less salty than iodized salt. Also, I didn't have any chicken broth, so I just used water. At any rate, it came out absolutely delicious. The coconut milk gives it a great flavor.
stimply Posted: 01/18/13
Disappointed by this. Maybe winter isn't the best time to make this. It felt too light. There wasn't much body to it. We ended up adding quinoa to give it more substance. Guess I prefer dals over a red lentil soup.

Go Back
The annual "Good Pitch" in NYC is a unique event. Bringing together documentary filmmakers and thought leaders from both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, it is meant to inspire. But, most importantly, this meeting of the minds catalyzes powerful partnerships aimed at solving some of the world's most pressing issues.
Change is a tricky thing to achieve. Especially when it comes to social justice. It requires a strong, clear vision others can rally around. It requires powerful incentives that motivate others to join in. And it requires persistence, because change doesn't come easily.
All these ingredients were present in abundance last week, when one of several global Good Pitch events opened its gates to various filmmakers in New York: Each and every one of them introduced a personal vision of what needs to change in the world to make it more just, more tolerant, more sustainable, and more balanced.
The issues raised by the participating filmmakers ranged from critiques of the American criminal justice system to conservation. 3 ½ Minutes, for example, dissects the tragic shooting death of teenager, Jordan Davis, and the legal controversy surrounding the case. Another film, Seed, follows farmers and scientists trying to protect the diversity of agriculture and highlights the battle for the future of our seeds. And the documentary, Virunga, tells the incredible story of the brave people risking their lives to save a World Heritage site in the Congo—home to the last of the mountain gorillas and one of the most bio-diverse places on earth.
Opening up the event, Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation, affirmed the important role films like these play in furthering positive social change. "The arts," he said, "are a profound means of improving the human experience; and film is a timeless ally in the ongoing quest for justice."
I could not agree more. We live in a fast-paced, attention span challenged world where younger people often gain more education and inspiration through short films and YouTube video clips than they do through the written word. And the fact that there was no dry eye in the room when Jordan Davis' parents talked about the unimaginable pain caused by the injustice inflicted upon their son was a testament to the power of visual storytelling to raise awareness and inspire transformative action.
That's where Good Pitch adds a unique (and indispensable) ingredient to the filmmakers' vision and persistence: it facilitates engagement and allows influential allies and members of civil society to learn about—and get behind—each filmmaker's cause. Whether it's on-the-spot financial support to complete a film's production, or PR and media connections that help amplify its reach, the collective action this gathering of change-makers inspires transcends the room it takes place in. By supporting documentary filmmaking and expanding the audience for social justice-focused films, the Good Pitch's galvanizing spirit brings these stories to more people. As viewers, we are invited to bear witness, to join the fight against injustice, and to awaken our own potential for visionary leadership and activism, as well.
Events like Good Pitch provide yet another pathway of empowerment, enabling people to learn more about what's not working in the world and giving them the tools to do something about it. From Kickstarter and Crowdrise, to dosomething.org and causes.com—these platforms for change can only be enriched by thought-provoking documentary films. After all, being aware of a problem is the first step in fixing it.
The fact that the event gives representatives of the branding and business world a seat at the table speaks to the important role some of the most recognized brands play in this conversation. The Fords, Patagonias, Googles, and Netflixes of this world can—and must—use their sphere of influence to scale the vision of filmmakers such as those who participated in Good Pitch. Those with immense resources and influence can do much to accelerate the kinds of changes we all want to see in this world.

Dear Carolyn • My husband committed suicide a year ago and it's been absolutely horrifying, not only for me but for my 8-year-old son as well. Recently, I have been trying to date and mingle due to my son's worry I will be alone. I'm 30 and feel as though I'm doing something wrong. When I took my vows, I meant them, so I feel I'm cheating or being unfaithful to my husband. He chose to do what he did, so should I be feeling this guilt when on a date? Please help.
Dear Pennsylvania • I am so sorry. That is such a heavy thing to carry with you. Those vows, presumably, were "till death do us part," so they don't impose guilt, they absolve you of it. But also please free yourself of any pressure to date. I realize you want to ease your son's mind now. I fear you could unwittingly hurt him later, though, by reinforcing his idea that alone = bad or dating = pain relief. It's OK to be alone while you're healing; it's OK to be open to having a partner — but also open to being single unless and until you meet a worthy one. And it's OK to address your son's worries with a gentle, firm, loving and consistent adherence to this message. It's a message of inner strength and stability for two people no doubt still staggered by a devastating external blow.
Dear Carolyn • My fiancé cheated on me. I was heartbroken and broke things off. I had few people nearby to lean on due to unrelated circumstances, like friends moving away. Five months after we split, he dated one of my friends, writing to say that since he'd "been dishonest in the past," he now wanted "to be a better communicator." I broke off all contact with both parties. My question: This was awful, and I did the right thing, right? I'm still reeling.
Sad in Chicago
Dear Sad in Chicago • Dating a friend's cheating ex-fiancé just months after he torpedoed the engagement seems awful to me, yes. As does cheating on one's fiancée, counting to 10 and then dating her friend. But you don't need any of that, or me, to justify taking care of yourself. You're fully entitled to leave them to each other.
Carolyn Hax's column runs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

This school is in a great location and has a wonderful staff. Today was my son's first day and i could not have asked for a more welcoming feeling from the staff. Even the Assistant Principal came by to assure them it would be a great day. Thank you.
My daughter just started there and it is by far the worst school ever. The teachers are very rude and generally don't care.
Coral Terrace El. has the best principal, I have ever known. He cares for all his student. The teachers are great, they go out of their way to help the students. Excellent Staff
teachers and principals are kind and caring. school has a warm atmosphere.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulated at Corral Terrace elementary and all wonderfull teachers like mrs.Botella, Mrs Ruiz, and Mrs Rivas,exc for a great job. 'If we work together and keep doing . Im convinced we can see the result.' By Lili Romero, a parent
I love Coral Terrace elementary i would n't change my child from school for nothing in the world. My son has a great principle, great assistance principle and great teachers.
My son has been attending Coral Terrace Elementary since Kindergarten, and now that the time has come for him to move on to Middle School I wish with all my heart that Coral Terrace was a K-8 school. The teachers here are caring, loving and encouraging to all these kids, this foundation will carry these children far. My heart felt thanks to all the teachers, and staff for everything they had done to help my son prepare for a great future.
Not only do my two children go there but my husband and i went there when we were kids. It is a small town envolment from the staff but yet up to date on technology and programs. I love coral terrace. Any only relocating, definatly a+++
I would love to see more extra activities for the students of this school
I am a parent of 3 children that have attended coral terrace elementary. I think that coral terrace is an excellent school with awesome teachers.
I think Coral Terrace Elementary is a very good school. My only cocern is the heavy traffic and lack of police presence before & after school. Especially in the mornings during drop-off along 69th Avenue (the west side of the school).
is good to have a school staff that really cares about their children.
This school is great because it offers children a place to learn with great teachers and staff.

Yakubu has signed a five year deal and is available to join the Everton squad for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Bolton at The Reebok Stadium.
He adds to the manager's selection options up front, joining former record-signing Andrew Johnson, Scotland international James McFadden and youngsters Victor Anichebe and James Vaughan.
Moyes told evertonfc.com: "He has a very good goalscoring record in the Premier League and he also offers strength and power. We hope he continues his good scoring record with us.
"We have some good strikers in our squad already and he adds further depth and quality to our squad."
