Since we released the ATL Top 50 Law Schools last week, we've received a fair amount of feedback and criticism regarding our approach to ranking schools. As noted (again and again), our methodology considers "outcomes" only — the idea being that, in this dismal legal job market, that's all that truly matters. Our rankings formula weighs six outcomes; these three below were the most disputed:
• Supreme Court Clerks. This is simply the number of SCOTUS clerks produced by the school over the last five years, adjusted for the schools' size. By far, this is the most heavily criticized aspect of our methodology. "Preposterous!" "Irrelevant!" "Reflective of some weird fetish on the part of one of your editors!" And so on. To which we say, sure, SCOTUS clerkships are irrelevant in assessing the vast majority of schools. Properly considered, this component is a sort of "extra credit question" that helps make fine distinctions among a few top schools.
• Federal Judgeships. The number of sitting Article III judges who are alumni of the school, adjusted for size. Some complain that this is a lagging indicator that tells us something about graduates from 25 years ago but little about today's students' prospects. Besides, aren't these appointments just a function of the appointees' connections? True enough, but this is certainly an indicator of the enduring strength and scope of a school's graduate network — surely a worthwhile consideration. Connections matter.
• Quality Jobs Score. The percentage of students securing jobs at the nation's largest law firms combined with those landing federal clerkships. The principal criticism with this metric is that it fails to include some categories of desirable job outcomes, including so-called "JD Advantage" jobs and certain public interest/government positions. However, parsing out the "good" jobs from the rest is the problem. Whenever we could, we used the most straightforward, obtainable, and well-defined data points, with the goal of a "quality jobs score" as a reasonable proxy for quality jobs generally.
Read on for a look at which schools rated best in each of the above categories, as well as on Employment Score and Lowest Cost. We'll also look at some of the biggest gainers and losers in the ATL 50, plus significant differences between our rankings and U.S. News….

Not every costume wig fits into a specific category. Our miscellaneous wigs and wig accessories are perfect for all sorts of wacky Halloween costumes. Miscellaneous doesn't mean these are bargain bin items. Our misc wigs are a mixture of some of our most interesting headwear, ranging form horror to humor. Just because a hairpiece is labeled as miscellaneous, doesn't mean it has to be humorous. We carry adult styles for cultural, historic, and character costumes. Sometimes they don't have to contain hair at all! We carry a wide selection of bald caps for all your hairless character needs. You can blend your bald cap into your skin with an application of face paint or makeup foundation.
Wigs are a fun addition to any Halloween costume, but certain items can make your experience easier and more pleasant. Wear a wig cap under your costume wig to help keep your hair in place. Mesh caps keep your own hair from showing under your wig and help your style looking great. Toupe tape is another accessory to help you maintain your look. This double sided tape adheres your hairpiece in one spot so you don't have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions. After you are done with your costume, keep your wigs in great shape with a wig stand.

Map of Indochina
This map of Indochina, published under the auspices of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Colonies, was compiled by Pierre-Paul Cupet (1859-1907), Jean-Baptiste Friquegnon (1858-1934), and Joseph de Malglaive (1862-1914), all officers in the French Army and members of the Pavie Mission. Auguste Pavie (1847-1925) was a French naval officer, explorer, and colonial administrator who, between 1879 and 1895, led a series of expeditions in Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and southern China. These expeditions undertook cartographic surveys and ethnographic studies, producing a large body of maps, photographs, and written documentation ...

14 Innovative Cleaning Products for 2013
From window-cleaning robots to stone-sanitizing wipes, the new appliances and tools at this year's International Home and Housewares Show promise to solve your every cleaning conundrum.
By Nicole Price Fasig
Window Washer
Everything we saw from Ecovacs had us thinking of a Jetson-like future from robots that can tackle heavy stains to smart systems that monitor the whole home. The Winbot ($299-$399) will be their first U.S. release. This cute little window-cleaning unit sticks to glass with two suction rings that can withstand up to 40 pounds of force. It cleans as it goes, then squeegees with the front pad while the 'bot's back pad dries and polishes. The unit measures the window then traverses it in a uniform zigzag pattern to make sure it cleans the whole glass. (You can direct it to go over extra-grimy spots again with the included remote.) Once the job is complete, Winbot returns to its start and plays a tune to let you know it's done. The robot must be plugged in while cleaning, but Ecovacs offers an array of extension cords that should let it clean most sized home windows.

My Sis told me about a new pro shop near her. 20min from my house. So the new Pastor at our church and I went for a cruise. To my pleasant surprise they're a Martin dealer(also Quest/Prime,Strother,and Elite). So as I was gawking at the '12-'13 Martins I was asked "can I help you?". Needless to say,I spent an hour in the 40yd(!) indoor range w a Silencer w the Fury XT cam,tearing up the Spuderweb range targets. Equipped w only a Dloop n a biscuit, it was a 20yd tack driver. I split the nock on one of the shop arrows on my 3rd shot w/o a sight by using the top of the riser as a make-shift sight pin.
I was impressed by the accuracy of the Silencer. Can only imagine what it would be like w sights and set up for me. It seemed to have blistering speeds at its 29"/59.5# setting. A bit louder than I'm used to, but I'm blaming that on the lack of limb savers and the echo in the range. To get a good sense of quiet, i'd need to shoot out side.
Next trip up I'll be taking my '08 Bengal to do a side-by-side

Porsche continues to introduce new 911 variants for 2013. The current 911 is based on the updated 991 platform that debuted with the Carrera and Carrera S in 2012.
As with those models, in the new all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S the body changes are subtle but numerous, with larger LED main-beam projector headlamps fitted in higher front fenders, a wider rear end, a higher side waistline and all-new LED tail lamps.
Two engines are available in 2013. In the Carrera and Carrera 4, buyers get a 3.4L horizontally-opposed direct-injected 6-cylinder that makes 350 horsepower. Carrera S and Carrera 4S buyers get a slightly larger 3.8L flat-six, which makes 400 horsepower. A variation of the 3.8L is also available on the all-wheel-drive Turbo and Turbo S models. Those models produce 500 and 530 horsepower, respectively, in both coupe and convertible form.
Except in the Turbo S, all engines are mated to a standard 7-speed manual transmission. The 7-speed PDK double-clutch automatic is optional, and standard on the Turbo S. In the manual, the ratios are close together in every gear except 7th, which helps to achieve a better fuel consumption rate during highway use. Other features include electric power steering and a hydraulic decoupler of the front and rear sway bars, known as Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control. In addition, 911s feature a rear-wheel torque vectoring system that helps build traction using the rear brakes along with the rear differential.
Inside, the 911 interior features styling touches consistent with Porsche's Panamera and Cayenne. There's no mistaking the design as something other than 911, however, with a host of gauges flanking a large tachometer, mounted front and center. The center console sports a large color touchscreen monitor for navigation and stereo functions.
Several packages add features such as special sports seating, Bose audio, ambient lighting, auto dimming mirrors, and more. The Sport Chrono Package includes dynamic engine mounts, a dash-mounted analog and digital stopwatch, performance display, a Sport Plus button to control engine mapping and throttle response, and launch control for cars equipped with PDK.

Astrodienst Fundraising Campaign
For many years, Astrodienst has supported Dr. Beat Richner's Kantha Bopha Children's Hospitals and the Aids maternity ward in Cambodia. Every year we donate a considerable sum for this extraordinary and important project which goes to help the mothers and children, the weakest and most defenceless of Cambodian society.
Kantha Bopha Children's Hospitals
The five hospitals and the Aids maternity ward in Cambodia are run with a budget of 29 million Swiss francs. Medical care is free for all. More than 2000 people are employed by the hospitals. The only foreigners are Beat Richner and a Frenchman who runs the laboratory. The rest are Cambodian doctors and nurses who were educated locally.
In 2012 150 000 children were admitted to the hospitals and 16 500 children were delivered in the maternity ward. About 780 000 children received ambulatory treatment and about 15 000 operations were carried out. About 3000 families daily receive instructions on health care.
The 29 million Swiss francs (CHF) are raised as follows: the Cambodian government pays CHF 1.8 million, the Swiss government CHF 4 million. The rest is raised through private donations.

George French Jazz Quartet
Thursday, April 18, 2013 8:30 PM
New Orleans, LA 70130
George French's musical profile is usually defined by whoever happens to be hearing him at the time. French is a singing bassist with an extensive background in New Orleans jazz and rhythm and blues. Pick up any of a dozen New Orleans-made hit records of the 1960s and you'll probably hear French.
George French began training and performing at an early age as a vocalist in grammar school. His musical training as a bassist started as a teenager. With no professional instruction; his musical style developed through "on-the-job-training." French's major influences during his musical development were, among others, his father, Albert "Papa" French, Sr., George Davis, and Sam Jones. "Papa" French served as his role model for musical professionalism, business style and commitment to performing. George Davis, his first teacher, ignited his desire to play bass while Sam Jones served as his mentor for musical style.
Over the span of his career, French has had the pleasure of working with many of New Orleans finest musicians, whether on a stage or in the recording studio. On stage, many of the bands include: Willie Tee and The Souls, Bob French and The Continentals, Red Tyler and The Gentlemen of Jazz. His impressive recording career as earned him studio time with Earl King, Robert Parker, Bob French and The Storyville Jazz Band, The Dukes Of Dixieland, The James Rivers Quartet and Wendell Brunious. His most favorite and notorious recording project to date, is "Celebration of the Voice", recorded live for Rounder Records and produced by local producer Scott Billington. "Celebration of the Voice" was a concert series held at the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) and a local all-star big band was assembled for the event. The high point of the show, however, was the vocal performances of George French, Germaine Bazzle and the late Johnny Adams. Each artist performed several tunes and then they all came together to perform "Mood Indigo" and "Exactly Like You."
World traveled, French continues to entertain the masses yearly at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and on a regular basis on many of the stages around the great city of New Orleans.
