TITLE: Little Did He Know
AUTHOR: Exquisiteliltart
PAIRING: Bree/Lynette
DISCLAIMER: Characters belong to Marc Cherry.
On Saturday afternoon Tom picked up the phone, "Scavo residence? One second. Lynette, its Bree."
Tom handed Lynette the phone, "Hi, Bree. What's up?"
"Can you come over? I need you," Bree's voice sounded low.
"I'll be there in one minute," Lynette tried not to sound too coy, she looked at Tom, hung up the phone, and smiled.
"What was that?" Tom asked.
"Bree needs me…to help her with something." Lynette wasn't lying.
"Wow, Bree Van De Kamp is asking for help? That seems odd," Tom picked up an apple.
"Well, I'm sure she could do it by herself, but it's a lot more fun if I just go help her," Lynette answered decisively.
"Oh, it's that kind of tedious project. Having you there will make the time pass faster, I suppose?" Tom wondered.
"Uh, not exactly... So I'll only be gone for like 3 hours max. See you guys for dinner," Lynette ran out the door and slammed it behind her.
Tom bit into his apple as he watched Lynette sprint across the street. Before she had even knocked on Bree's door it opened and Lynette disappeared inside. Tom took a moment to think about how loving and compassionate his wife is. How did he get so lucky to have such a devoted woman? She was willing to give up her precious Saturday time to go help her neighbor do some boring task like paint tile, or unclog gutters for 3 hours. He sighed and took another bite of apple.

ICC chief executive Dave Richardson has warned that cricket's chances of inclusion in the Olympics could be affected by the pullout from the Rio Games of several of the world's top golfers. 'The IOC have said they want the top teams and the top athletes,' he said. 'So this experience with golf might have made it even harder for us to get in, because we have to convince them that our top teams and players will be there.' ...read

TOP SPIN AT THE TEST: DRS changes too late to help Chris Woakes but Jonny Bairstow breaks records again
Sri Lanka fought back on day two of the third Test at Lord's, despite Jonny Bairstow producing an unbeaten 150. Chris Woakes was denied, first by a dreadful Bairstow drop and then by a controversial lbw appeal, as the tourists reached 162 for one at the close. Sportsmail's Lawrence Booth was at Lord's to take you through the best and the worst of the action. ...read
Moeen Ali's demise with the bat has been like watching the slow death of a beautiful flower, but the move up to No 7 may just be the comfort blanket he needs
LAWRENCE BOOTH – TOP SPIN: For Moeen Ali, talk of an identity crisis is no longer a cliche, but a fact of life. And it's why his ascent, by a single place, to No 7 for the second Test against Sri Lanka may prove more significant than it looks. ...read

Alright, my application has been running fine for a few months now. Starting this morning all of my custom routes no longer work.
Have a controller named 'stuff' in a folder named 'mL'. Set up a custom route:
$route['default_controller'] = "mL/stuff";
Then visit 'website.com/', works fine, gets me to the 'controllers/mL/stuff' controller. Now, if I try to use a custom route:
$route['stuff'] = "mL/stuff";
and visit 'website.com/stuff' I get sent to my 404 page (as set in $route['404_override']).
This is true of all of my controllers, if I set it as the default_controller it works without issue. Someone else upgraded the server to php 5.4.9 over the weekend, and it's the only thing I can think of that might affect this, but I can't figure out how/why.

In the Pipeline
By LAURA MANSNERUS
Published: August 27, 2000
TRENTON— ONE after another, speakers from local environmental groups, a few of them near tears, told a hearing here this month that the Whitman administration was delivering much of the New Jersey's vulnerable open space to developers.
Ben Forest of the Monmouth County Friends of Clear Water, describing a county ''ravaged by development pressures,'' said, ''I rarely spend a day on the road without seeing another bank of trees developed.''
Two weeks later, state officials faced a room full of builders, who told them the administration was all but shutting down the housing industry. After the meeting, Bradley N. Haber, the president of the New Jersey Builders Association, said, ''You heard people crying for their lives, the lives of their employees.''
The subject -- or at least the immediate subject -- of this agonizing is a 400-page document called the Water Quality and Watershed Management Rules. The rules, now in the form of a proposal by the Department of Environmental Protection, regulate sewer and septic service and waste-water discharge; their vocabulary runs to terms like Water Quality Management Plans and Total Maximum Daily Loads.
But the dispute playing out is mostly about how to distribute the million new residents that New Jersey is expecting over the next 20 years. Like so many environmental issues in this state, this one evokes a threat that all New Jerseyans recognize and most of them hate: new houses. People can only go where the water goes -- or, more specifically, where the wells, sewer lines and septic tanks go. And with the new rules, the Whitman Administration proposes to contain the centrifugal force of development.
Even the most disinterested observers, though there are not many, say the water rules will do much to determine the state's landscape. Some of the passion is about drinking water and the rivers, streams and lakes that the state has been obligated to clean up since 1978. But the proposed constraints on where a new Wawa or a row of vacation villas could go lead to fights over other things: the tax structure, property rights, education financing, low-income housing, immigration, socioeconomic segregation. The new scheme is supposed to make development follow the design of the State Development and Redevelopment Plan, which carves the state into population centers, farming areas, pristine zones and buffers. The idea is to promote development in places already designated for sewer service and choke it off in outlying areas.
The Whitman administration says the new water rules leave roughly 300,000 acres open to development while responding to clean-water mandates and growing anti-sprawl sentiment. But, as the jarring disconnect between the environmentalists' and the developers' predictions suggests, the rules are open to different readings.
Under the rules, which apply to all projects approved by local authorities after July 3, a developer seeking to extend sewer service or install septic systems over a certain size would have to conduct a set of environmental analyses.
The second level of review is based on the lines drawn in the state plan. In areas designated for development, called Planning Areas 1 and 2, and in smaller ''centers'' around the state, the applicant would only have to meet requirements for the usual environmental permits. But in Areas 3, 4 and 5, which are supposed to have much lower densities, a project would have to satisfy more specific policies set out in the state plan.
The building and real estate industry says the department would be inclined to deny most applications, sealing off undeveloped land, crowding people into cities they do not want to live in, inflating housing costs and ruining many small builders and property owners. They also contend that of the 300,000 acres that the department says can be developed, most are in fact off-limits because of local zoning, lack of sewage-treatment capacity and other environmental problems.
Most environmental advocates say that the rules would not apply to most development proposals after the exemptions and grandfather clauses, and that the department would be inclined to approve the others anyway. The result, they argue, would be continued sprawl, huge public expenditures for new infrastructure and an increase in the discharge of polluted water by hundreds of millions of gallons a day.
Many others say they are perplexed that the face of the state is being mapped out in rules that hardly anyone understands, if they have read them at all.
Even though the rules emerged from four years of negotiations with interested groups, and even though the Department of Environmental Protection has extended the public comment period by a month, to Oct. 2, the department is still receiving pleas for more time.
''This will establish limits to the growth of the state of New Jersey,'' said Jim Sinclair, vice president of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association. ''There are winners and losers in this process. We haven't figured out yet who they are, or whether it's good public policy. We haven't had a public discussion.

Bhopal - An Enduring Tragedy
Twenty-five years ago, a gas leak at a Union Carbide chemicals plant in Bhopal released 40 tonnes of poisonous gases over the Indian city, killing thousands of people and injuring tens of thousands more.
There has been little clean-up of the site, the water remains dangerously contaminated, and the thousands of victims remain in need of treatment.
Allan Little travels to Bhopal to find out who is responsible for the lack of action.

How many individually functioning EBS drives ( non-raided ) can I connect to a single Amazon EC2 server running Linux CentOS? I can't find a value in the EC2 or EBS manuals. Are there any other drive limitations I should be aware of with EBS?
Some people have been able to attach 40 EBS devices to the same instance using RAID (see http://alestic.com/2009/06/ec2-ebs-raid)
You could probably attach more than 40, but be aware of the device names limitations, since according to EC2 documentation these are the only devices available for external EBS drives on Linux instances running xvd drivers:

This was a nice blend of ingredients. I used yellow instead of green pepper, regular onion and used a dash of worcesteshire (sp?) to the dish. Also I sauted the onion and pepper a bit first. Thanks for the recipe. It will become a staple as the kids and DH really liked it.
I tried your fried chicken leg and Cream potatoes with this green bean recipe to make a complete meal. The green beans tasted more like fresh than canned. We liked the flavor alot and they tasted good reheated. I used real bacon instead of bacon bits because we don't like the bits. Thanks Marsha D. Bullwinkle

For the past two decades, Jordan retros have given us the opportunity to step foot in some of our favorite sneakers from the '80s and '90s all over again. However, some would argue that in recent years, a few classics have been ran into the ground with constant re-releases. Not only are some of the greatest Air Jordans returning for their fourth, fifth, and sixth runs, but the time between retros is getting shorter.
Just how often are iconic Air Jordans being re-released? We've put together a list of the most frequently retroed models of all-time. Different variations of each shoe were considered, but low-tops and re-stocks weren't factored in. Scroll through below and let us know if you think Jordan Brand should consider giving some of these classics a break.
Air Jordan 11 'Bred'
Years Released: 1996, 2001, 2008, 2012
After having to wait seven years between its first retro and 2008's Countdown Pack, we only had to wait four years for the Bred 11's solo return. The 2008 pair sticks out as being part of one of the few Countdown Packs, together with the "Taxi" Jordan 12, where people actually wanted both shoes.
Air Jordan 9 White/Black-True Red
Years Released: 1994, 2002, 2008, 2010
For a shoe that MJ never officially wore in an NBA game, these Air Jordan 9s have dropped an awful lot of times at retail.
Air Jordan 2 White/Black-Red
Years Released: 1987, 1994, 2004, 2010
This perpetually underrated colorway of the Air Jordan 2 may not seem like it's been out that many times, but it's been around the block. The lack of hype around this OG color of the Air Jordan 2 makes it easy to forget that it's actually released four separate times.
Air Jordan 11 'Concord'
Years Released: 1995, 2000, 2006 (DMP), 2011
The Concords have technically only released three times, but the 2006 DMP version was close enough for inclusion here. That pair making it in on a technicality brings the total number of releases for this OG colorway to four.
Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'
Years Released: 1991, 2000, 2010, 2014
The Infrared 6s have become more popular than ever in recent years, which isn't surprising when you consider their most recent retros came only four years apart.
Air Jordan 8 'Bugs'
Years Released: 1993, 2003, 2008, 2013
Aquas get most of the attention when it comes to Air Jordan 8s, but it's the Bugs Bunny 8s that have actually released the most frequently. The 2013 drop brought the total number to four.
Air Jordan 7 'Raptors'
Years Released: 1992, 2002, 2009, 2012
The Raptors weren't even a franchise at the time of their original launch, but thanks to the numerous retro releases in the 2000s, this AJ7 gained that nickname.
Air Jordan 7 'Olympic'
Years Released: 1992, 2004, 2010, 2012
And to think, Fat Joe once licked the sole of an OG pair on MTV because they were so rare. In hindsight, that seems like an odd choice considering all the times they've dropped since.
Air Jordan 5 'Metallic'
Years Released: 1990, 2000, 2007, 2011
The number of retros of this Air Jordan 5 grows if you also include the close-but-not-quite-the-same Bin23 and 3Lab5 versions.
Air Jordan 5 'White/Black-Fire Red'
Years Released: 1990, 2000, 2008, 2013
We have to give this shoe a proper nickname, because that other 'Fire Red' 5 is always going to be the 'Fire Red' 5.
Air Jordan 4 'Bred'
Years Released: 1989, 1999, 2008, 2012
'Bred' Jordan 4s have been around plenty. No doubt the most frustrating among them was the 2008 "CDP" – a.k.a. the reason you've seen so many Black/Red Air Jordan 19s on eBay for the past seven years.
Air Jordan 3 'True Blue'
Years Released: 1988, 2001, 2009, 2011
Jordan Brand released these exclusively in Europe in 2009, so they owed us that follow-up in 2011.
Air Jordan 1 'Chicago'
Years Released: 1985, 1994, 2003, 2013, 2015
It only seems right that an original color of the first Air Jordan would be one of the most retroed shoes in the history of the line. And while the 2013 release wasn't a true OG Hi and 2003's was patent leather, they kept with the spirit of the original enough to be included.
Air Jordan 3 'Black Cement'
Years Released: 1988, 1994, 2001, 2008, 2011
These black 3s could have been even higher on the list had the rumored "Nike Air" pair in 2014 come to fruition.
Air Jordan 3 'Cement'
Years Released: 1988, 1994, 2003, 2011, 2013
The fact that they've dropped five times already probably has a lot to do with why Jordan Brand put the AJ3 back in the vault for the time being.
Air Jordan 1 'Bred'
Years Released: 1985, 1994, 2001, 2009, 2011, 2013
It's somewhat ironic that the colorway banned by the NBA in 1985 is the one we've seen the most. High or low-cut, Nike Air or Jumpman, 'Bred' 1s are always welcomed with open wallets.

LOOK: "Supergirl" Introduces Superman in First Family Photo
Update (7:30 a.m.): Disney Parks has released hi-res versions of three of the concept illustrations unveiled Sunday. We've updated images where appropriate.
During an ABC special Sunday night celebrating the 60th anniversary of its first theme park, Disney unveiled new concept art of details for its "Star Wars Experience" theme lands, under construction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
"Star Wars is, for lack of a better word, awesome," franchise veteran Harrison Ford said during the presentation. "I'm so blessed that I had an opportunity to be a part of it, to walk in these iconic locations, and soon you will be able to do that as well — not in a galaxy far, far away, but in a place close to home."
Revealed in August at the D23 Expo, Disney's plans for Star Wars call for 14-acre themed areas at its parks in Orlando, Florida, and Anaheim, California. The initiative, which is expected to cost billions and take years to complete, is characterized as Disney's "largest single-theme land expansion ever."
The new concept art shown Sunday was accompanied by brief descriptions of what visitors can expect from "Star Wars Experience": a Millennium Falcon attraction in which you can "actually pilot the fastest ship in the galaxy" and fire its laser canons; another attraction in which guests a placed in the middle of a battle between the Resistance and the First Order "in a race against time"; an "otherworldly street market" where you'll be able to taste "the local delicacies"; an upscale dinner club; and a local cantina.
You can see video and more screencaps from the ABC special below. We'll update when Disney releases high-resolution concept art.
No opening dates have been announced.
(screencaps via Techinsider)
very cool. But what about some Marvel based attractions?
Disney is not allowed to make Marvel based attractions in Florida. The rights to attractions are forever linked to Universal east of the Mississippi.
Disney Calf. have done some Iron Man and Thor meet and greets as will as mini museums. And I believe International Disney Parks, like China might be getting a Iron Man attraction.
I'm surprised Disney hasn't looked into buying up a new plot of land west of the Mississippi, like in Texas, and opened a new, Marvel-dedicated park. Actually, they might be already, and just haven't made it public.
Universal holds the theme park rights to Marvel characters east of the Mississippi only for so long as they keep using them, which is certainly for the foreseeable future, but not technically "forever".
In Disneyland, Anaheim, you were able to visit Iron Man's "Hall of Armor", and personally meet Cap and Thor. (A lot of fun!)
During the Avengers Half Marathon held in and around Disneyland, there were photo opportunities with Cap, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow. The right to link the phrase "Iron Man" with races is not held by Marvel/Disney (some other body got in first, years ago), so the promotional material for the race mentioned "Tony Stark" instead.

Help support your MeetupChip in
Meet the PDX Changemakers and experience interactive networking!
We are unique in that we engage everyone in the process and everyone, introverts and extroverts leave saying they never enjoyed any meetup or networking event as much.
The only way to find out is to come and have fun actually meeting an amazing diversity of entrepreneurs working on their business. Each person has something to offer and something ask. Interactions are timed and we move from table to table like speed dating, but for business contacts.
About Us
The first thing everyone asks is: What is a Social Entrepreneur?
A Social Entrepreneur is someone who is driven by a passion to make life better for others by starting a business venture (for-profit of or nonprofit) that measures success both by traditional financial metrics and another equally important metric which is the social impact the business actually causes.
The purpose of this Meetup is to support anyone with the goal to create, grow or work for a social enterprise or small business in the Portland area. We primarily do this by holding fun, interactive events where we break into small groups and follow a fast paced but effective process which allows everyone to really get to know at least eight to ten of the attendees.
Everyone gets five minutes to share what they can do for others and what they need from others to move forward with their ideas, projects, and businesses. The point is to make what you say very brief and let the others give you feedback and suggestions so you go home armed with a lot of new insights, resources, and connections.
Hundreds of people have attended and after a lot of experimenting and listening to feedback, we changed to a format and it really works! If you have been wanting to come, now is the time. I hope to see you at the next third Thursday Meetup!

He has played an integral role in developing the institute's thinking on EU bioenergy and biofuels policy from a land use perspective, with links to the wider bioeconomy and covering both European and global implications.
Sustainability criteria for biofuels post 2020
Defining effective and workable sustainability criteria is one of the critical steps in decarbonising Europe's energy sector. They must provide the necessary safeguards for the use of bioresources in Europe, as well as the policy and investment certainty required for sustainable deployment.06 May 2016
Land suitability assessments for bioenergy feedstocks in the EU – a review of data sources
Current data availability is inadequate to undertake a detailed national or European level study of land areas that are underutilised and could be considered available for bioenergy production within the EU.29 Jan 2016
The EU's climate targets, land use, and forests: delivering biodiversity-friendly mitigation
Land use and forestry is a new frontier for EU climate policy. IEEP's report for FERN sets out some ideas for how a supportive policy framework can deliver both climate and biodiversity benefits.01 Dec 2015
How to stimulate a bio-economy based on waste? – A study for the UK Government
Waste resources have the potential to provide a core component of developing bio-economies across the globe. A new IEEP report reviews how waste has been incorporated into existing bio-economy strategies, and the conditions that have enabled this.29 Jun 2015
Results-based agri-environment schemes: new report and guidance handbook available
Are you interested in developing and implementing a results-based payment scheme for farmland biodiversity? Together with experts from across Europe, IEEP has produced a range of useful resources to guide the future development of results-based agri-environment schemes in the EU and beyond.05 Jun 2015
Space for energy crops – An assessment on the potential contribution of Europe's energy future
The overall energy potential that can be produced from growing dedicated energy crops on 'spare' land in the EU is low. This new report explores the potential for the additional production of energy crops in Europe on land not already used for food production, forestry, or providing other important services, and assesses some of the challenges associated with increasing output.21 May 2014
Re-examining EU biofuels policy: A 2030 perspective
EU biofuel policy must reflect the reality that while biomass in principle can be renewed, the overall quantity sustainably available is finite and must be shared across an emerging bioeconomy.18 Mar 2014
Recycling wastes and residues for sustainable bioenergy and biomaterials
What should be Europe's role in feeding the world in 2050, considering competing demands for land? This IEEP report for the European Parliament describes options for reusing food wastes and agricultural and forestry residues for biomaterials and bioenergy.29 Oct 2013
Biofuels and ILUC – Q&A
Recurring questions on biofuels and ILUC are addressed in IEEP's latest report to help build a robust policy to deal with ILUC and other impacts of large scale production of first generation biofuels.21 Jun 2013
Shifting away from conventional biofuels
The UK has ample potential to use wastes and residues for advanced biofuels and create jobs in this emerging industry – but safeguards are key to ensure this is done in an environmentally sustainable way.15 May 2013

That's what Virginia and much of the confederacy thought about regulating inter-racial marriage. How'd those votes turn out for you?<quoted text>
yes. Gay marriage is regulated by the states. And yes we can vote on it. If you want to vote against hetrosexual marriage then get up the petition and see if you can get it done.
Biden 'absolutely comfortable' with same-sex marriage
There are 374 comments on the WAPT-TV Jackson story from May 6, 2012, titled Biden 'absolutely comfortable' with same-sex marriage. In it, WAPT-TV Jackson reports that:
As a ballot initiative to ban same sex-marriage comes to a vote in North Carolina this week, Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday he was "absolutely comfortable" with the idea of same-gender marriage.

Biden needs to think more carefully about getting reelected before giving controversial opinions Obama wouldn't dare give.
I'm curious to see if this is posted. " Atheism to Defeat Christianity by 2038" caught my eye. I posted before but now two wouldn't get posted yesterday and today. I don't understand.

Just like blacks had to same right to marry someone of the same race as whites did?
That stupidity might work with the confederate supreme court, but it certainly didn't fly with the US Supreme Court.
Try again.

#265 May 9, 2012
so far 32 states have had votes. All 31 turned down the gays. Pity.
So are you going to boycott NC? Should the democratic party boycott them?? They are holding their convention there.
#266 May 9, 2012
there are no confederate states numbnuts. CA passed a similar bill. Not much success for the gays.
#267 May 9, 2012
well since Kennedy is a swing voter I don't think you have a leg to stand on. Also it's only political if the republicans (those that defend the const) vote a certain way. If democrats vote a certain way then it's upholding the const. That's too funny.
I am guessing that obammy care was also a political law?? No republicans voted for it.
#268 May 9, 2012
the civil rights laws were passed that what's happened. Until then it was legal to ban them. Just as your prez said today. The first gay prez said today that it's a state issue. Right now 31 states have banned them. And more are on the way.

For the last time YOU CAN'T PUT PEOPLE'S RIGHTS UP FOR A POPULAR VOTE!
Gay marriage should not be voted on. Look up the term tyranny of the majority. Those anti-gay amendment are unconditional and will be overturned by the Supreme Court.
#270 May 9, 2012
well yes it did. Only the civil rights laws changed that. You certainly are hung up on the confederacy. Got a little rebel blood in ya??
#271 May 9, 2012
I am taking that you mean that confederacy thing as an insult. Well it's not. Not in the least. Even CA the greatest liberal state of all shot the gay marriage thing down. Pity

Propitiation 8 has been overturned. Soon gay marriage will be legal in CA again.
Washington and Maryland legalized gay marriage this year. Maine will vote to legalized gay marriage. Rhode Island and Illinois will legalize gay marriage this year. Things are moving in favor of gay marriage. And DOMA will be abolished soon.
#273 May 9, 2012
gays don't have the right to marry. For the last time. They are constitutional. They will be upheld.
#274 May 9, 2012
by the most liberal overturned court in the land. And 31 states have banned it. In fact the gays have never ever won a single vote. How's that feel?
#275 May 9, 2012
Then explain Loving v.
According to you the state/people can decide who can get married... but
SCOTUS said differently.....
#276 May 9, 2012
You act as if the civil rights laws said that there could be interracioal marriage... is that what you are saying?
You do realize that when a case goes before SCOTUS, they do not take a look at laws on the books... they take a look at if the law before them violates the constitutional rights.... so the civil rights law had nothing to do with it.
#277 May 9, 2012
Correction... Il. DID NOT legalize gay marriage. The legalized civil unions. There is a major difference.
#282 May 9, 2012
explain what? That gays can't get married. The supreme court will uphold the states laws.
#283 May 9, 2012
the marriage laws will stand.

31 states passed laws banning inter-racial marriages before they were all overturned by the US Supreme Court. What's your point?
There is no reason to boycott North Carolina, because that would only cede the state to the bigots. Whether at the ballot box or through the courts, sames-sex couples will have the right to marry in North Carolina eventually.
We can wait.

This paper describes a probabilistic approach to computing information on off-peak energy potential of an electric power system useful for studies related to economic assessment and duty cycle prediction of energy storage devices. Effect of minimum generation limits of generators on system operation and associated economic penalties can also be evaluated by this method. The methodology is similar to generating capacity reliability evaluation. Computation of expected off-peak energy and expected capacity margin durations is illustrated by a system example and sensitivity of these quantities to generating unit size is evaluated. Suggestions are made how the existing computer programs using frequency and duration method of generating capacity reliability evaluation and probabilistic production cost evaluation method can be used to determine off-peak energy information.

Credit counselor: Doubtful companies use Facebook to check finances
PHOENIX — You might want to watch who you friend on Facebook because creditors are watching.
Two technology companies said they can find out if your Facebook friends have bad credit, and that your association with those people lead a potential lender to think that you are just as much of a credit risk as they are, which could prevent you from getting a loan.
Lenddo and Kreditech, two financial companies who claim they can use Facebook to check credit, said they can use "massive computing power" to check out your friends and determine your credit worthiness.
Mike Sullivan of the Take Charge America credit counseling service said the companies' claims are possible, but he doesn't think you should worry about it.
"That kind of guilt by association strikes me as a bit of a stretch," he said. "I really don't see it. I can't believe that that's a very important factor for very many people."
Sullivan thinks the Facebook threats are nothing more than a publicity stunt.
"I had never even heard of them. My guess is they're thinking is that this is a good way to get some attention."
Sullivan believes banks and other lending institutions will keep using legitimate credit reporting agencies to check out your credit and decide whether to give you a loan.

The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) provides comprehensive support for law students. This office is where students conduct most of their daily business -- turning in Legal Research and Writing assignments, registering for classes, scheduling rooms for student organization events, and rescheduling examinations -- just to name a few. The OSA also oversee registration for law courses, administering examinations, and Commencement in the spring.
Friendly Reminders
Locker Contents. Each summer the locker combinations are re-keyed in preparation for the new academic year. *Lockers will be cleared out during the week of July 25th, and contents will be held until August 12th. Thereafter, any unclaimed locker contents will either be donated or discarded. *NOTE: Though we'd like to keep everything for you, food/beverage containers with contents will be disposed for sanitation concerns. We will not be emptying and cleaning anyone's food/beverage containers.
1L Orientation, August 17-19. Welcome Class of 2019! The 1L Orientation schedule of events may be accessed on the Law Admission website. Classes start on Monday, August 22nd and first assignments are posted on the OSA semester materials website as we receive them from the professors. Text books for courses are available on the Willamette Store website. 1L course assignments will be completed during the first week of August.
Class Attendance Tracking
The attendance tracking in JASON is recorded weekly as we receive attendance sheets from the faculty; however, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to track attendance, as reporting in JASON may not always be up to date.
If you find a discrepancy in the records (for example, if you were marked absent on a day that you were in class), email or contact the professor to ask them to notify the OSA to correct the attendance date in question. We can only make a correction if the request is from the Professor. If you know you were absent on a certain date, but JASON doesn't reflect it, please contact either the professor or the OSA to see if the attendance sheets have been turned in for the class in question.
OSA Notary Policy Change
Effective July 1, 2013, the OSA notary services are limited to WUCL students and graduates for purposes of application to state bar examinations.

Dan Mangan On 'World Cafe: Next'
Set List
- Road Regrets
- The Indie Queens
Vancouver's Dan Mangan proves that sincerity and soft-spoken honesty will always find an audience. Since he released his first acoustic EP, All At Once (2003), at the age of 20, Mangan has evolved from a community favorite to an international name. His clear-spoken vocals, lined with a quavering insecurity, relay a mixture of conviction and humility. The effect is calming, even reassuring. And Mangan clearly knows how to produce a record, too. His songs showcase a knack for instrumental arrangements that often require as many as 20 musicians playing on guitar, horns, strings and percussion.
These styles come together to form a story on his latest album, Nice, Nice, Very Nice. Likened to the intimacy of Bon Iver and the experimental folk of fellow Canadian Chad VanGaalen, Nice, Nice, Very Nice gives voice to life's ups, downs and in-betweens. Listen to World Cafe host David Dye highlight two of its best tracks.
