Frequently Asked Questions How do MET-Rx products help "Shape Every Body"?MET-Rx products offer engineered nutrition -- products that have been specifically formulated with a precise nutrient profile to produce specific metabolic effects. Infant formulas are an example of one of the most commonly used engineered foods. Nutrient levels in these products are specially formulated to enhance the growth and development of newborns. MET-Rx has formulated their products to provide superior nutrition that promotes optimal health and fitness, and an easy and convenient way for you and your family to benefit from a wide spectrum of nutritional benefits. How is MET-Rx different from a meal-replacement product or other genearal purpose nutritional supplements?The term "meal replacement" is misleading. It implies that your body can distinguish between the nutrients in a snack and a meal, which it can not. The body simply metabolizes the food it takes in by reacting to the size and nutrient make-up, as well as the pattern of food consumption. MET-Rx products are more than just a random load of dietary calories; they are precise nutritional formulations designed to deliver positive nutrients necessary for optimal function. Several MET-Rx products may be used either as a meal or in addition to regular meals. They provide a balanced nutrient base and can be used to help satisfy most of the body's nutritional requirements. Should you eat MET-Rx with other whole foods?Absolutely. In fact, MET-Rx precision nutrition is most effective when used with other foods. How much total protein per day should you consume on the MET-Rx program and what do they recommend as whole food sources of protein?The amount of protein required per day varies per person. Athletes and bodybuilders will require more protein to support lean muscle mass as compared to sedentary individuals. Highly active individuals should consume about 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, which translates to approximately one gram of high-quality protein per pound of body weight per day. Overweight individuals should consume less total protein and should consult their doctor. The primary consideration when it comes to dietary sources of protein is the amino acid composition of the whole-food source. Based on extensive studies on amino acid profiling, the following list comprises several whole foods that provide high quality protein sources: Low or non-fat cottage cheese. White skinless turkey breast meat. Egg whites. Various fish like tuna, salmon and halibut. Broiled, skinless chicken breast. Lean cuts of red meat. Is MET-Rx useful for people who do not lead active, athletic lifestyles?Without question. Even people who are routinely sedentary can benefit from using MET-Rx along with a healthy diet plan. The optimal nutrient composition of MET-Rx products, the meal patterns suggested in the guide, and the whole foods prescribed all contribute to improved metabolic function and enhanced overall health. For optimal health and body composition, they recommend that everyone engage in some form of daily activity.Without question. Even people who are routinely sedentary can benefit from using MET-Rx along with a healthy diet plan. The optimal nutrient composition of MET-Rx products, the meal patterns suggested in the guide, and the whole foods prescribed all contribute to improved metabolic function and enhanced overall health. For optimal health and body composition, they recommend that everyone engage in some form of daily activity. Use in conjunction with an intense daily exercise program and a balanced diet including an adequate caloric intake. Can women benefit from taking MET-Rx products and following the suggested meal plans?The MET-Rx program offers several unique advantages to women who want to improve their appearance and overall health. Taking MET-Rx and incorporating the prescribed meal plans is a perfect way for women to optimize their physique. When combined with a daily exercise program, the MET-Rx meal plan is designed to support your metabolism. With MET-Rx, you can enjoy eating balanced meals and snacks frequently throughout the day. The solid nutrition of MET-Rx is also ideal for seniors. As we get older, we continue to lose nitrogen and body protein and it becomes more and more difficult for us to get the nutrients we need. Maintaining muscle mass and strength is critical to maintaining a high quality of life. Good health at any age depends on good nutrition. Practically everyone can benefit from MET-Rx. What is the best way to use MET-Rx? Clearly, the best way to use MET-Rx is to take advantage of all the elements MET-Rx has to offer. The synergistic effects of favorable macro and micronutrients combined with a meal-patterning profile and regular exercise that includes progressive resistance training can have a significant impact on body composition. It can also substantially improve the body's lean muscle mass stores while improving overall vitality and health. As a rule, meals and snacks (including MET-Rx products) should be consumed at regular intervals (every three hours or so) throughout the day. This allows for consistent delivery of nutrients to the bloodstream and maximizes benefits. I have heard that you can achieve optimal body composition and health by eating a well-balanced diet of whole foods without any additional supplementation. Is this true?Theoretically, yes, it is possible to attain the metabolic effects of MET-Rx with a well-balanced diet of whole foods, but it would be extremely difficult to do so. Here's why: the positive metabolic effects of MET-Rx result from its special formulation and precise levels of macro and micronutrients. For example, the protein component of MET-Rx,Metamyosyn, is a blend of several different proteins with optimal amino acid compositions and sequences. These proteins are purified, isolated and recombined to create a unique final amino acid array. The concept behind engineered foods is to fortify whole foods to make them extremely nutrient dense. Calorie for calorie, engineered foods provide a very high concentration of extremely important nutrients. Try to imagine a 300 calorie whole food source that offers over 50% of your daily protein requirement, 100% of your daily calcium requirement and a very high percentage of the recommended daily allowance for a host of vitamins and minerals. While several whole foods contain a high concentration of a few nutrients, it's highly unusual to find any whole foods that have a broad spectrum of nutrients at very high levels. Also, most people do not have complete control over the selection, growth, storage and preparation of most foods they consume. Many people have become less and less inclined to prepare and consume whole foods in their homes. Much of our daily food intake is consumed outside of the home, which makes it virtually impossible to be completely aware of the nutritional characteristics of foods consumed. With MET-Rx, you have the peace of mind of knowing that the leaders in sport's nutrition have done the work for you. Reaping the benefits of superior nutrition has never been easier or more convenient. Designed For Every BodyMET-Rx is designed for every body. With a complete line of high quality protein products, MET-Rx can assist you in creating an effective nutritional program that fits your lifestyle so you can shape your body for optimum health. Diet and exercise have a tremendous impact on how you feel and perform each day, as well as your overall health. It's easier to promote ongoing wellness instead of trying to regain health once it's lost. With today's hectic lifestyles, even those of us with the best intentions often find ourselves sacrificing good nutrition and regular exercise. MET-Rx Shaping Every Body program is your answer to getting in the best shape of your life. Shaping Your BodyIndividuals who achieve quality results in the gym understand the nutritional science behind attaining a lean and healthy physique, including adequate protein intake after a workout. So whether you're a weekend warrior, a fitness enthusiast or a champion athlete, MET-Rx products taken before, during or after a workout offer key ingredients essential to helping you achieve a fit and healthy body. Shaping Your NutritionMET-Rx revolutionized the sports nutrition industry nearly two decades ago when it introduced its exclusive protein blend called Metamyosyn. Originally developed by a physician based on metabolic research, Metamyosyn protein is a highly bio-available fuel that supports muscle and strength. Today, MET-Rx offers a diverse range of products that promote vigorous health by making advanced nutrition easier, more convenient and more effective than ever before. Using MET-Rx protein bars, drinks and shakes is a convenient way to shape your nutrition by avoiding "empty-calorie", nutrient-deficient foods that may be adding far too much fat, salt and sugar to your diet. In fact, you can reduce your daily calorie intake by replacing one or two meals with MET-Rx products. Shaping Your LifestyleEveryone knows that fad diets don't work. We need to make lifestyle changes that promote healthy habits on a daily basis. MET-Rx allows you to slowly and easily introduce bars, drinks and shakes as meal replacements into your daily regimen to control calories and improve your overall nutritional intake so that you look good, feel good and have more energy every day! Let MET-Rx help you shape your body with quality, results-oriented products that fulfill both your appetite and your body's need for balanced meals and solid nutrition.

Re: OTA Notes from June 6
Thank you so much for providing insights into the OTAs. Like most Ravens fans, each day I am starved to learn of the progress of the players and ultimately the team each day. The local TV channels do not have the time, nor seemingly the desire to provide much more than 10,000 foot highlights. I realize that you can not take requests, however I am more than curious of how Cullen Finnerty looks during the drills.
I do not watch college ball (I don't have the time on Saturdays) and I did not know much about him before the NFL Draft. I researched his impressive stats after we picked him up after the draft; and I am very curious of his progress or lack thereof? For some strange reason I am intrigued by his background and impressive stats from his college career. How much of it can or will transfer to the big boys in the NFL is the great unknown?
I know that most likely the QBs will be: McNair, Boller & Smith - at this point, probably the top three QBs on the roster. If Finnerty is worth keeping he will be the Practice Squad QB for whatever length of time. (Hello Phil Savage!)
I would be most grateful if you would be kind enough to devote a few sentences specifically to Finnerty and Troy Smith as well. Sooner or later we have to stumble upon a good young, long term QB to lead the team...
Thank you, if you can... and thank you, if you can't for your excellent reporting.

Re: OTA Notes from June 6
It's far too early to draw any conclusions but I have been impressed with the progress made by Smith and Finnerty. Neither seems very starry-eyed to me but then again, neither has taken on the first team defense either.
My guess is that Smith makes the team and that will leave the Ravens with some difficult decisions/roster risks particularly if Finnerty does well throughout camp. And don't forget about Drew Olson. He's having a decent season in Europe and while his play isn't pretty, he has shown an ability to win wherever he's been.
I'll ask Finnerty if he'll join us on GAMETIME this Sunday.
Re: OTA Notes from June 6
Tony, as always, an awesome read. I wait all day for those articles.
Had a few questions. How has Antwan Barnes looked? Is he as athletic & quick as advertised? Also, how does McNair look physically & how does his arm-strength look as compared to last season? Finally, are there any players that have surprised you, thus far?? Thanks...
Re: OTA Notes from June 6
My pleasure Lance....thanks for reading.
Barnes is very quick and has an explosive first step. He will be a nuisance to opponents when they are forced to pass. I hate to put this on him already but the physical attributes remind me a bit of Dwight Freeney. How he takes to coaching and how he refines his game so that he's less predictable and develops a repertoire of pass rushing moves will determine how good he can be. The God given skills are evident.
McNair was very good today and I think greater certainty in the offense will enable him to deliver passes with more authority. That said, he is what he is and you aren't going to see 60 yard spirals down the sidelines.
It's hard to suggest surprises thus far since these are basically passing camps in shorts...Devard Darling has practiced very well and he's been the recipient of several kudos from Neuheisel and Mike Johnson. Suggs' conditioning is excellent...McClain looks like a natural pass catcher out of the backfield...Smith and Finnerty don't seem to be as in awe as I thought they might...no major surprises though...I do like the quiet resolve of the team...the loss to the Colts stings and that has left them very focused. We'll see how that plays out but I'm optimistic.
Re: OTA Notes from June 6
I don't have any specific questions but especially out here – I'm starved foe purple.
Thanks again for all the hard work!
Sounds like the boyz are focused and don't want it to end like it did last year. Motivation like that is a good thing. Everything sounds like it is falling into place well so far.Keeping the purple flowing way out on the West Coast!
Re: OTA Notes from June 6
Thanks for the notes Tony. I love how focused this team is.
Re: OTA Notes from June 6
Thanks TL.
For the moment Mike Kracalik is lining up in Ogden's spot…Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.
Re: OTA Notes from June 6
That said, I am not surprised that Kracalik is participating in the drills at LT... due to the fact that they would move Terry over if Ogden were hurt, Yanda is playign wehre he should be, RT on the Second team. As such, Terry is where he should be, on the RT, where he will start. Again, that Is why I'm glad that Chester, then Grubbs are on the top two teams at RG, as one of them will no doubt be starting there.... Get used to where you will be.
Re: OTA Notes from June 6
As for Kracalik, he's the better option to plug in at LT during practices. Not that he's a better LT than Terry....far from it. But one of the issues Terry had last year is that he didn't get the needed reps in camp at RT that the team had hoped for and that was due to Ogden's absence from camp in '06 as he mourned the passing of his Dad. The team doesn't want to shift Terry to the left in practice. He's shown that he can play LT. They haven't seen that yet at RT. Terry will be the starter there and I believe he will perform at no less than the level of Tony Pashos.

Re: OTA Notes from June 6
Hey Tony,
Thank you for your responses... I really appreciate the information. Finnerty on GAME TIME would be very insightful to learn of his experiences thus far.
I can't listen to GAME TIME live, but I replay them from the website links. Another great idea for the fans.
(I'll owe you a few dozen extra clicks for your kindness...)

Fletcher Cox is highly rated on the Eagles board. He's a perfect fit for the UT position of our defense and will see a lot of snaps, rotating with Cullen Jenkins.

With the #18th pick in the 2012 FFMD NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers select...
Nick Perry, Outside Linebacker, Southern Cal
The LBC wrote:
One of the more polarizing prospects and one to be considered, no doubt, a steal in some circles while a notable reach in others, this is a Chargers roster in need of playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. And in order to acquire play-makers outside of the Top 10 picks, this typically means you need to pray for incredible value to fall into your lap or go out on a limb and reach for a guy you believe in who may not be as pro-polished as one might prefer.
Is Nick Perry another Clay Matthews? No. Right up front I'll recognize that. But is he another Everson Griffen or Frostee Rucker? Not hardly. In fact, the comparisons between Perry and Griffen really shouldn't go much further than the program they played for and the position they played. Griffen was renown for his ability to excel in run-defense but his lack of get-off at the snap and underdevelopment as a pass-rusher. Perry is rather the opposite - in need of refinement in his pass-rush moves certainly, but far superior as a rusher than a run-defender and with one of the better pure bursts (if not the best) of any of the edge-rusher in this class.
The Chargers present a unique situation as well where one could contend that a slight (5 pick) reach for Perry was admissible as the Bolts' new LB coach, Joe Barry, was previously Perry's LB coach at USC - thus already having a working relationship and glowing opinion of the player. While free agent Jarrett Johnson was brought in and will likely be the penciled-in starter at SOLB, the organization views this as a situation similar to what was accomplished by San Francisco in the 2011 draft with Aldon Smith - taking the more/most athletically-gifted pass-rusher and asking him to grow in the system and contribute as primarily strictly a pass-rusher specialist as a rookie while honing his craft.
With Peyton Manning now in the division, not to mention a conference through which the path to the Super Bowl is perennially accepted to run through Tom Brady and the Patriots, something had to be done to address both the Chargers lack of consistent pass-rush outside of one player (Antwan Barnes in '11 and Shaun Phillips in '10, both of whom hit free agency in 2013), but also to elevate one of the worst 3rd-down defenses in the league from 2011. The added bonus to Mr. Perry is his ability to function as a hand-in-the-dirt DE, as with the league becoming more pass-happy, strong nickel and dime packages are becoming more and more necessary for teams.

With the 21st selection in the 2012 Football's Future Mock Draft V2.0, the
Cincinnati Bengals
Despite the presence of a former second round selection in Taylor Mays, the Bengals ultimately upgrade their weakest defensive position with the top Safety available, who happens to also be one of the top players still available.
Chris Crocker's release, in real life, speaks volumes to the Bengals commitment to upgrade the SS position. Although some Bengals' fans feel Mays is the answer, he busted out of one starting gig in San Francisco and has shown little on the field that would convince the Bengals' brass he's the answer. Plus, his college play dictates Mays belong at FS, which is currently manned by a former first round pick in Reggie Nelson. With three first round
at SS and FS, the Bengals should be able to find some combination of the three that utilizies each of their abilties. Can't forget the Bengals' 5th round selection in 2011, Robert Sands, who shows a ton of promise at S.
The Bengals are now loaded with talent in the defensive backfield, with six former first round picks in total. Combine that with a young defensive line and a talented LB core, and the Bengals have built one of the more talented defenses in the NFL. If everything goes well, the Bengals should have one of the most athletic, productive defenses in the NFL in 2012.

1.24 Pittsburgh Steelers select Stephon Gilmore, FS/CB
Gilmore's raw physical ability is far too much for Carnell Lake and - LeBeau to pass on here. Maybe he ends up being a good CB, but he has the makings of an absolutely dominant Steelers free safety. His size, speed, willingness to tackle, and athletic ability makes him an ideal convert in a very weak safety class. Carnell Lake make the transition from LB to Pro Bowl safety to Pro Bowl Cornerback, and he managed to teach Willie Gay how not to suck. If he can do that, he can convert Stephon Gilmore into a Steelers' defensive back.
Mike Tomlin loves to go by the "best available athlete" mantra, with the idea that he and his staff will coach the player up. It seems to be working fairly well for him, why switch now?

With the 29th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, The Baltimore Ravens select...
diamondbull424 wrote:
Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina
6'2 ⅞, 216 lbs, Game Speed: 4.5, Hand Size: 10 1/4
2011 Stats: 13 GS/13 GP
Career Stats: n/a
- Incredible Strength.
- Deceptively long strides to eat up cushion.
- Amazing hands for the highlight reception.
- Redzone threat with nice size, strength, and vertical ability for the jump ball.
- Solid blocker.
- Familiar with a prostyle route tree.
- Vertical threat at the collegiate level, should project well to the Ravens vertical passing attack.
- A bull to bring down in the open field.
- Weight/Work ethic concerns.
- Rounds out routes, needs refinement.
Grade: A = (4.0 pts)
After watching tape, and more tape on Alshon Jeffery I've come to the conclusion that he's the exact time up WR specimen that the Ravens need in their offensive attack. Last year at this time Ravens fans were clamoring that we had two needs at WR: 1) A deep threat and 2) A redzone threat. Torrey Smith had an unbelievable year and performed at an amazing level to solve the former issue, however the Baltimore Ravens still had a lot of trouble capitalizing once in the redzone in 2011. Our efficiency stats in that department can be much improved. Enter: Alshon Jeffery.
Immediately coming from college he offers an unbelievable presence in this area. With more training and focus on his route running skills he should offer more and more of an impact with our team as an outside receiver and allow us to push Boldin inside to the slot where he would dominate. By playoff time, we'd be looking for our passing attack to be looking to hit its stride. Jeffery fits the Air Coryell vertical passing attack that Cam Cameron implores to a "T" and therefore is the perfect selection for us to make as BPA. We have the situation to allow his talent to flourish without rushing him to produce and relying too heavily on him early on.
Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina

Judging from the amount of traffic on I-75 this past weekend, motorists are oblivious to the fact that gasoline isthisclose to being $4 a gallon.
Or perhaps those motorists are like me.
They know that we are a nation that moves on four wheels-or 18-and to get from Point A to Point B, you have to get in a motorized vehicle and drive, whether you want to pay the price at the pump or not.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Joanie Alexander knew
that being named a John B. Begley Scholar at Lindsey Wilson College
was a big deal. But when she received it in 2010, she didn't
realize how much the four-year scholarship would change her
"Little did I know that my experience at Lindsey Wilson
would change my life in numerous ways or that it would open my eyes
to the bigger world that awaits me upon graduation," Alexander told
more than 300 guests at the 2014 Begley Scholars Day luncheon.
A total of 140 high school seniors came Saturday to LWC
from more than half of Kentucky's 120 counties and seven states to
compete for three of the scholarships. Valued at more than
$160,000, the four-year scholarship covers tuition, room and
Alexander, an education senior from Brodhead, Ky., said
the Begley Scholarship is much more than a free
"The experiences that I've had at Lindsey Wilson are far
more than I could have ever dreamed of when I envisioned what
college would be like," she said. "My journey at Lindsey Wilson
opened various doors of opportunity that revealed my true passion.
… Being a Begley Scholar has truly been the opportunity of a
lifetime … and this was only the tip of the iceberg regarding my
experience at LWC."
Alexander told the students that Lindsey Wilson is a
place "where you can and will reach your full potential and have
immense amount of opportunities to achieve success."
LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. told the students and
their family members at the luncheon that the Begley Scholars
Program is unique in U.S. higher education.
"I don't know of another program like it in the country.
… What makes this scholarship so distinctive is the experiences our
students enjoy," he said. "It is quite simply a world-class
experience and world-class education."
Students who were invited to compete for the Begley
Scholarship had a minimum ACT composite score of 24, a minimum
cumulative high school grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale,
and a class ranking in the top 10 percent at the end of their
junior year of high school.
Students submitted an essay and then interviewed on
Saturday with a committee of LWC faculty and students.
Unlike many scholarship programs, the Begley Scholars
Program is also opened every spring to one returning LWC student,
which Luckey said gives students a second chance to earn the
"If you don't receive the Begley Scholarship in your
first attempt, then just prove to them that you made a mistake," he
Although only three incoming LWC freshmen are named
Begley Scholars, Luckey said historically about 60 of applicants
become LWC students.
"You can get a world-class, quality education right here
at Lindsey Wilson College where you can compete well and get
accepted to high-quality, highly competitive graduate schools,
whether you are a Begley Scholar or not," he said. "This is a
dynamic place where you can accomplish amazing things with a
committed and caring faculty."

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee discussion → Thread
I have Bombus Hypnorum nesting in the bird box in the garden. Today, I found three bumblebees that were dismembered. One's head had come away (and it was sitting a few milimetres from their body) and soon after found another one that was missing their abdomen (again, nearby). Another's leg was sitting next their body.
All in all I found about 6/7 dead bumblebees, 3 of which had been dismembered in some way.
Are ants chewing up my dead bumblebees?

Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.2% Merlot, 5.8% Cabernet Franc
Josephine, a native of San Lorenzo, California and her husband, John Tychson, a Danish immigrant, moved to St. Helena in 1881. For $8,500, they purchased 147 acres north of St. Helena, which later became known as "Tychson Hill".
Shortly after her husband's untimely death, Josephine began construction of a fifty square foot redwood winery which would grow to hold a capacity of about 30,000 gallons. In addition, she hired Nils Larsen, an experienced vintner, as her foreman. Josephine successfully produced wine for the next eight years and then sold the winery to Larsen in 1894. In turn, Larsen leased the winery to Antonio Forni, a good friend of Josephine's. Forni later purchased the property in 1898. Forni is responsible for building a new winery on the old site of the Tychson structure.
In the years that followed, Freemark Abbey went through a period of several different owners until 1966, when a group of partners purchased the winery. In 1993, Winemaker Ted Edwards became a partner. Edwards assumed the role of managing partner in addition to maintaining the responsibilities he has held as winemaker since 1985.

When I use "Startup" on the System Configuration Utility, it is cluttered with many programs that I no longer have or will never use. Is there some way to delete these?
Startup programs can be a significant drain on system performance and increase the time it takes your computer to completely start up. Removing some of these startup programs that are no longer in use or no longer needed can be helpful, but you should do it cautiously. Some startup programs are key to proper function of hardware (such as buttons on a scanner or transfer programs). I'll go through how to disable these programs temporarily, test, then delete them.
Open the system configuration tool by clicking Start, then click Run and type msconfig and press enter (You can also hold Windows Key on keyboard down and press R to open run.) In the system configuration too,l go to the Startup tab and inspect the list.
For programs you believe are unneeded or you no longer have installed, uncheck the box next to the startup item and click OK. Write down the name of the program you unchecked for future reference. Only uncheck one item at a time, and reboot to test for unintended changes that may have caused any program/hardware not to function correctly. Repeat this process until you're comfortable with all the programs you've removed from the startup.
The next step is to download and install CCleaner from Piriform by clicking here. This utility includes a cleaner to remove temp files, browswer cache and registry problems. We're interested in the Startup section of the Tools menu in this software. Once you've installed CCleaner, open the program and click on the Tools menu on the left-hand side and click Startup.
Scroll through the list to locate the Startup program you would like to remove, click on the name then click Delete. You will see a pop-up advising you that this will permanently delete the entry, press OK to confirm the deletion.
The next time you reboot your computer, the startup processes you removed should be permanently gone. Keep in mind though, some processes can be reinstalled when you update a program (for example if you delete the Google updater. but then reinstall or update Chrome) so it's a good idea to do this every few months.

I got my Chinese law bachelor degree in 2006. When I was a freshman in 2002, I really felt confused about my future – should I pursue my graduate study in China or overseas, or start to work after graduation? After a long time struggling, I set up my mind to pursue my study overseas. The main reasons are that in China, the graduate education takes at least 2 years (some schools take 3 years), but here it takes me only one; and study abroad can enrich my experience – I really wanted to know what studying abroad was like, especially in the U.S., such a country with a well-developed legal system.
Somebody once said that U.S. is a common law system country and China is a civil law system one, they are so different that what you learn makes no sense in China. But I think in such an economic and culture globalization epoch, such a difference doesn't affect the study. One-year is not long for studying, so what I want to learn is the thinking of law, the methodology of law, rather than the rule of law itself.
Concerning why I chose Hastings, the first reason of course is that Hastings is one of the excellent law schools in U.S., which is founded in 1878 – the first law school in California. Some of my friends don't know this school. It's not because Hastings is not excellent but because it is the only independent law school in University of California system, which has no other discipline setting, so it's not as well known, compared with universities like UC Berkeley and UCLA, but in the law field Hastings is very famous. Besides, the location of the school is satisfying – the climate of California, the beauty of San Francisco attracts me. San Francisco is an incontrovertible wonderful city with nice weather and convenient transportation. Students here are friendly, and professors are affable and helpful.
It really took me a period of time to adapt myself to the way of studying here. In a Chinese law school, you need not spend time to prepare for class for the reason that we have no case law. When we have class, basically the content is law theory and institutional analysis. But here is totally different. The case law requires that students spend a lot of time to do reading assignments to prepare for the next class. Inasmuch as we do most discussion during class about the cases, you can't understand if you don't read the cases in advance. At the beginning I was not used to it, so I was at a loss when holding the textbooks, which are more than 1000 pages each. It was hard to complete them at first, even without taking notes. Now this is not a problem for me. In class, the Socratic method was demonstrated incisively and vividly.
Normally a new theory will be induced from a case. The student introduces the facts of the case and the professor intervenes with questions to lead students' thinking, then analyzes the court's judgment, then concludes the induced theory. So the students must concentrate on class and take part in discussion. That's very different from classes in China. What's more, the atmosphere of class is so active – professors are impassioned giving lectures with ample gestures.
As far as I am concerned, studying overseas is a wonderful experience that enhances both ability of independent living and independent studying. I pursued studying here just after I graduated from Chinese law school without work experience. That makes sure of the consistency of study because somebody once said if you work, it will be hard to stop to go back to school; but the disadvantage is also obvious – too little social experience. Without work, you don't know what exactly you should learn; the pertinence of study is then less strong. Some of my classmates in the LL.M. program practiced as lawyers in their own country before they came here, so they are clearer on their goals when they choose classes that will be helpful to their future work. That is one recommendation I might tell other students thinking about an LL.M.

DJI Wookong Multi-Rotor stabilization controller is a complete flight system for all multi-rotor platforms for commercial and industrial AP applications. Unlike others, WooKong allows the use of regular ESC commonly used in RC helicopter without any wiring modification; Heli mode setup providing a seamless transition for current Ace One AP professionals. WK-M utilizes high quality components precisely calibrated with temperature compensation in all gyros and sensors, industry renounce flight algorithm in autopilot and UAV.
Support 9 traditional motor mixer:
Its an UAS that targeting at commercial and industrial multirotor platform with simple configuration, easy installation and stable performance.
The gimbal stabilization module is compatible with most 2-axis gimbal systems. The system will adjust the camera according to the attitude of the aircraft after setting the parameters the first time. The scope of the gimbal servo output frequency is 400hz, 200hz, 100h and 50hz, the higher frequency output makes the adjustment more efficient. At the same time, the limit of the gimbal servo rolling and pitching is extended to 90°.
WooKong-M GCS now supports iPad, the only thing you need to do is to plug a Bluetooth datalink. Gone are the days with heavy laptop, now you dont need to install maps and drivers, forget about the Windows OS version compatibility problems, nor worry about the Google Earth. Without the long cables, it is easier for you to control the aircraft with your ground station just like playing games on your iPad. More-over the fashion UI of the iPad Waypoint will be another highlight.
The WooKong-M now provides assistant software for iPhone4s, iPhone5, iPad3, iPad4, iPadmini, iPod5. You can do parameter adjustment at any time on your mobile devices only through an LED indicator with a built-in Bluetooth module which makes it easier and convenient. It uses low power Bluetooth to minimize the power consumption of your mobile devices. It is easy to use and will automatically save your last connection records. The password mechanism ensures your safety link. Parameters can be automatically synchronized to the Clouds Server and can be restored immediately when you changed your mobile devices.
Compatible with almost all radios-PCM or 2.4Ghz.
Specially designed for WKM to solve the high power consumption problem of power support system. It contains two power outputs for entire WKM system andreceiver separately, a battery voltage monitor, and two CAN-Bus interfaces.
Small footprint and weight ease installation in tight space and various aircraft sizes.
With WKM, the multirotors will have position and altitude lock in windy conditions. Precise hovering in less than 2m horizital and and 0.5m vertical..
With the WKM, flying a multi-rotor will be as easy as driving a car. The pilot is released from the stress of control the multi-rotor and able to pay more attention to other tasks such as camera angle, instead of focus on flying.
ImmediatelyMode: By using this mode, in any control mode, once motors start and throttle stick is over 10%, motors will stop immediately when throttle stick is back under 10% again. In this case, if you push the throttle stick over 10% in 5 seconds after motors stop, motors will re-start, CSCis no need. If you dont push throttle stick after motors.
IntelligentMode: By using this mode, different control mode has different way of stopping motors. In Manual Mode, only executing CSCcanstop motors. In Atti.orGPS Atti. Mode, any one of following four cases will stop motors:
|GPS Atti. Mode
|Atti. Mode
|Manual Mode
|Command Stick Meaning
|Multi attitude control; Stick center position for 0° attitude, its endpoint is 35°.
|Maximum angular velocity is 150°/s. No attitude angle limitation and vertical velocity locking.
|Command Linearity
|Stick Released
|Lock rotor position when GPS signal is adequate.
|Only attitude stabilizing.
|NOT Recommend
|Altitude Lock
|Maintain the altitude best above 1 meter from ground.
|GPS Lost
|After 10s when GPS signal lost, system enters Atti. Mode automatically.
|Only performing attitude stabilizing without position lock.
|Attitude & speed mixture control ensures stability; Enhanced fail-safe
|Depends on experience.
|AP work
|Sports flying.
WooKong-M has a new function: Point of Interest. When the GPS signal is good, users can record the present position of the aircraft as a point of interest by the preset switch on the remote controller. The aircraft could achieve a circle flight around the point of interest with the nose in the point in an area of 5 meters to 500 meters radius, when the rolling command is given. This function is easy to set up and convenient to operate, it is suitable for all-round shooting of a fixed scenic spot.
In addition to the function of failsafe RTH, WooKong-M now has a new function of RTH switch from transmitter. It is unnecessary to turn into failsafe mode.
WooKong-M now supports PPM receiver, with the installation of PPM.
Usually, the forward direction of a flying multi-rotor is the same as the nose direction. By using Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC), wherever the nose points,the forward direction has nothing to do with nose direction:
In course lock flying, the forward direction is the same as a recorded nose direction. See the following figures(Mode 2)
In home lock flying, the forward direction is the same as the direction from home point to multi-rotor.See the following figures (Mode 2).
Enhanced fail-safe is the feature to ensure that the multi-rotor will hover automatically when it loses RC signal. After loss of signal for a certain length of time, WKM will calculate the safest route to the home position and control the multi-rotor to return home, hovering over your GPS start point eventually and then auto landing. This feature will guarantee the safety of your expensive payloads and equipment on the platform.
In most conditions, the whole multi-rotor will retain good attitude and rotate around the frame arm with no power output, due to imbalanced mechanical structure and external environment. Rotating is mainly caused by payload and external environment. Payload heavier, rotating speed is faster. On rotating, the hexa-rotor physical structure causes rudder out of control. This humanistic protection function from WooKong-M, in Attitude or GPS Mode, makes attitude still under control even with any one power output failed and highly reduces crash risk.
In order to preventyour multi-rotor from crash or other harmful consequences caused by low battery voltage, we have designed two levels low voltage protections. You can choose to not to use them, All two level protections have LED warning as default. First level will blink yellow light ceaselessly; second level will blink red light ceaselessly. Compare the Go Home and Landing of low voltage protection and the Go Home and Landing in Enhanced Failed-safe, the generations of Home Location are the same; the Go Home routes are the same; the difference is that there is no hovering before landing in low voltage protection.
WooKong-M can be upgraded to ground station which is a more powerful unmanned platform to satisfy the highly requirement of customers.
Now you just need to buy a DJI professional data link to activate WooKong-M single waypoint for free. Besides the 3D map, it also contains such ground control function as joystick/keyboard control, one key takeoff and click & go. Customers can activate different functions to meet the real requirement.

Douthat: Gun debate is emblematic of our dysfunctional politics
posted at 11:31 am on December 23, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Ross Douthat has a thought-provoking column in today's New York Times about how the extreme voices seized the moment in the gun debate, and how the demand for "solutions" prompts the most radical elements to grab the microphones. One doesn't have to necessarily agree with all of the assumptions Douthat makes in order to get his larger point, either:
The leading gun control chorister was Michael Bloomberg, and this was fitting, because on a range of issues New York's mayor has become the de facto spokesman for the self-consciously centrist liberalism of the Acela Corridor elite. Like so many members of that class, Bloomberg combines immense talent with immense provincialism: his view of American politics is basically the famous New Yorker cover showing Manhattan's West Side overshadowing the world, and his bedrock assumption is that the liberal paternalism with which New York is governed can and should be a model for the nation as a whole.
It's an assumption that cries out to be challenged by a thoughtful center-right. If you look at the specific proposals being offered by Bloomberg and others, some just look like reruns of assault weapon regulations that had no obvious effect the last time they were tried. Others still might have an impact on gun violence, but only at a cost: the popular idea of cracking down hard on illegal handguns, for instance, would probably involve "stop and frisk" on a huge scale, and might throw more young men in prison at a time when our incarceration rates are already too high.
But instead of a kind of skepticism and sifting from conservatives, after a week of liberal self-righteousness the spotlight passed instead to … Wayne LaPierre. And no Stephen Colbert parody of conservatism could match theNational Rifle Association spokesman's performance on Friday morning.
It wasn't so much that LaPierre's performance made no concession whatsoever on gun restrictions or gun safety — that was to be expected. It was that he launched into a rambling diatribe against an absurdly wide array of targets, blaming everything from media sensationalism to "gun-free schools" signs to '90s-vintage nihilism like "Natural Born Killers" for the Newtown tragedy. Then he proposed, as an alternative to the liberal heavy-handedness of gun control, something equally heavy-handed — a cop in every school, to be paid for by that right-wing old reliable, cuts to foreign aid.
Unfortunately for our country, the Bloomberg versus LaPierre contrast is basically all of American politics today. Our society is divided between an ascendant center-left that's far too confident in its own rigor and righteousness and a conservatism that's marched into an ideological cul-de-sac and is currently battering its head against the wall.
The entire Obama era has been shaped by this conflict, and not for the good. On issue after issue, debate after debate, there is a near-unified establishment view of what the government should do, and then a furious right-wing reaction to this consensus that offers no real policy alternative at all.
In one sense, the problem is less the debate and more the intent — and the current debate over the Newtown massacre underscores it. These horrific events are exceedingly rare, but it seems that everyone wants to propose a political solution as though they were commonplace. Seize the guns! Arm all teachers! A federal armed guard in every schoolhouse! Lock up the video games! None of these will prevent twisted and/or evil minds from seeking prey, whether with guns, machetes, bombs or whatever means they have at their disposal.
In other words, politics can't prevent sick people inculcated with a diseased view of the sanctity of life from doing bad things, because it's a part of our nature and more importantly, our culture. Politics and government can only deal with the aftermath. In order to reduce or eliminate the violence in our culture, we all have to engage the culture to change it. Passing a law to do any of the above is the easy, cheap, and lazy way of avoiding that very hard truth. Politics can't solve this problem, and neither can regulation — and almost all of those options I mentioned above have already been tried and proven this to be true.
It's time for all sides to start doing the heavy lifting, and to change the culture through thoughtful and purposeful individual participation, rather than look to government to change it for us.

The saner heads of the Utah Republican Party are still trying to deal with the effects of the torch-and-pitchfork, tin-hat, red-clown-nose crowd that emerged as delegates during the 2010 tea party rampage to destroy anything incumbent.
That was the crowd that ousted three-term incumbent Bob Bennett in the Republican State Convention, but it also is the group that in 2011 elected right-wing mavericks Lowell Nelson and Drew Chamberlain as the party's vice chairman and secretary, respectively.
Establishment Republicans have been wincing ever since.
The pair first caused a tremor last summer when they appeared on Democratic State Chairman Jim Dabakis' K-Talk radio program and advocated doing away with public education.
I wrote recently about Chamberlain's posts on Utah's Clean Politics Facebook page referring to President Barack Obama as "Husein" (sic) and said the president's only redeeming value was staying with his "wuff ugly" wife.
That prompted a letter to the editor from Republican state delegate L. Cameron Mosher, who, understandably, was embarrassed and called for an immediate condemnation of the statement by the Utah Republican Party.
Many of the 2010 delegates were replaced in 2012 with more moderate Republicans as Sen. Orrin Hatch heavily invested in the delegate selection process so he wouldn't meet the same fate as Bennett.
But Chamberlain, it seems, is just warming up.
When Utah Clean Air created a Facebook page in conjunction with its "Red Air Affair" event last Saturday to promote air-pollution awareness, the GOP secretary bombarded the page with posts claiming the whole pollution thing is a hoax.
(So all that gunk you were breathing last week was just your imagination.)
"The air has never been better," he wrote. "Your doctors are lying to you. You are an enemy of the state and should be treated as such." Then, my favorite, after the snowstorm moved out the inversion: "Your drunken, pagan, dance party actually worked."
Chamberlain later posted that you would never see a Republican in a lounge.
But what about a hot tub?
Legislator alert • Our gun-loving Utah Legislature ensures that folks can carry their weapons to the Utah Capitol and can even openly display them, as at least one legislator did, complete with gun belt and holster, two sessions ago. Lawmakers even created a day honoring Utah gun pioneer John M. Browning and made his M1911 automatic pistol the official Utah state gun.
But the Capitol's public Wi-Fi system automatically blocks visitors from getting onto the websites of Browning or any other gun manufacturer to learn about gun safety, products or anything else under the category of "weapons."
As we all know in Utah, the more guns the better. But that Internet stuff can be lethal.
The China syndrome • Salt Lake City Public Services recently tweeted, "Hey #SLC! You can report street related issues (#potholes) online through our Website."
Well, has anyone reported the mammoth potholes on 1300 South between Main Street and 300 West, or reported missing persons last seen walking along that stretch of road?
The potholes on 1300 South are so frequent for those three blocks, cars driving westbound look like they are going through an obstacle course as they weave and bob to avoid falling in.
The worst ones are near the TRAX station. Some of them could swallow a Volkswagen.
Instead of tweeting about it, how about fixing them?

I do a lot with Craigslist (I put ads on for neighbors who do not have the internet). I NEVER enable email responses. If they are not offering you extra money for shipping (even on a $20 item!) they are harvesting your email address for spam. I once put an ad on looking for a seasonal rental and the scam I got was, rent my fabulous house for a low price PLUS have a part time job "processing" payments for the owner who is out of the country. No thanks.I did once offer a free, very old printer on Freecycle and was contacted by someone about 1000 miles away who offered to pay me for shipping it to him. He did, I shipped it, it was legit. Still can't believe someone wanted it. Apparently he was using some MS-DOS program and this printer would work with it.
-Griping about things like public transportation and whatever smartphone he had. (He broke smartphones like no one's business and would spend hours and hours hashing the details out with a sales rep until he could convince her/him that he deserved a new free one.As you can see, he was bizarrely driven by what people thought of him, yet he was extremely cheep and obsessed with conning/mooching his way through college.
My friend got a really good one the other day. An email from a 'concerned party', warning her about all of the email scams out there, so if she just sent them her information, they'd make sure she didn't get scammed by those other guys. We were laughing so hard we almost wet ourselves.
Hey guys! I just got a voicemail saying I won an 8 day Caribbean cruise for two AND 7 nights at a resort for six!
A book was serialised on the radio last year chronicling the emails of someone who pretended to fall for a scam. It was one where you had to send your bank details and he spun the scammer out for ages, asking naive questions. I wish I could remember what it was called, as it was very funny as the scammer got more and more exasperated with him.
Most people would have left it alone at that point, but...I'm a jerk. So I wrote back.

I hate to sound like a nag, but that's really not a good idea. They have your name, your email address - and if they ever manage to hack your account, probably a lot more. If you want to play the scambaiting game, check the details on the 419eater forum and follow them to the letter. That includes getting a separate email address, only using it for scambaiting, making sure none of your real details are included, etc.

Fendi Spring 2014
Given his cultural voracity, it's no wonder that Karl Lagerfeld chose to line the walls of the Fendi venue with panels in different shades of gray. There wasn't quite 50 of them, but there were plenty of tonal variations. Of course, it could be that Lagerfeld decided that gray's cool austerity would be the perfect backdrop to his and Silvia Venturini Fendi's spring collection, with its endless graphic configurations of organza in pure bright colors—orange, cobalt, red—mixed with equally constructed (but lightly and deftly so) leather and shaved mink. However, a quick peruse of the show notes reveals that Lagerfeld was interested in the witty use of language in the digital world . . . though to be honest, I don't really have a clue how that exactly manifests itself in this collection.
What I do know is that Lagerfeld is the designer most gifted at taking our cultural obsessions and preoccupations and frothing them into the fashion moment. And whether it's the casting of Christian and Anastasia and how that sent the Internet into meltdown, or social media speak, it's the same thing—life now in the digital age. And by invoking the world of the web, Lagerfeld seemed to be asking the question: how does that impact one of the most storied houses in Rome, how do you download all of the global demands on a marque like Fendi and upload them into what the house does in the twenty-first century?
Well, for one thing, you utilize all those amazing Fendi artisans and have them create such intricate work it would defy even the most high-definition quality camera to spot a single flaw. They're used to working with myriad furs, of course, and there were some lovely ones here, in what's emerging as spring's definitive silhouette, falling into a lean line that finishes mid-calf—midi was once the term du jour—sheared mink arranged into geometric lines, bands, and panels on organza. And yet the workmanship on that organza was just as impressive, without ever feeling labored, slicing into the degrade red to white tiered panels on a dress, or laser-cutting it into falling flower motifs on tanks and narrow skirts. And there were plenty of great accessories to zoom in on— sandals with industrial caged "double" heels, silver purses flurried with multicolored fox fur, and—keep zooming in!— super cool furry earrings and stacked cuffs designed by Venturini Fendi's daughter Delfina Delettrez, working with the house for the very first time.

Moore School launches S.C. Tax Tool
By Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-7704
Researchers at the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business have designed an online tool to help South Carolina government, business and community leaders calculate the impact that changes in tax laws can have on the state's revenue.
Moore School Dean Hildy Teegen and researchers Caroline Strobel and Patrick Philipoom unveiled the South Carolina Tax Tool at the Statehouse today (Jan. 31), demonstrating its simplicity and usefulness to legislative leaders and their staff.
"This tool provides a one-stop means for policy makers and others in our community to assess the impact of any contemplated changes in our tax policy on state revenues. As such, the calculator enables the user to adjust tax rates, bases and exemptions status consistent with contemplated changes," Teegen said.
The S.C. Tax Tool is available on SC Dash, an online clearinghouse for South Carolina economic data that the Moore School launched last year. The website aggregates and updates data from a variety of public and private, state and national sources concerning the South Carolina economy and allows users to create customizable searches and graphs.
Both SC Dash and the S.C. Tax Tool are free resources that anyone can use. A short tutorial video on the website explains how to use the new tax tool.
Strobel, an accounting professor, said the tool shows individual income, corporate income and sales taxes, including items excluded from sales tax. It also shows the assessed property base and the assessment ratios used on different types of property. She said it provides the base on which the governmental unit sets a millage rate adequate to fund the county, schools and various special tax districts such as sewer.
To use the tool, a person chooses the tax category he or she wants to adjust up or down by clicking on arrows or typing a proposed amount. Changes can be made at the local, county or state level. As contemplated changes are made within the calculator, the difference will change on the screen. When finished, a simple click on overview provides a summary of the total revenue impact reflected by the proposed change.
"There isn't anything like it in South Carolina," Strobel said. "Currently lawmakers and business leaders only know how much revenue is collected. They don't have any simple and standard way of knowing what affect various changes to taxes would have on revenue. I think it will be an interesting and educational tool for people who are interested in how state revenues are raised."
Strobel says the model isn't dynamic, meaning it doesn't predict behavior – individual or corporate – or make assumptions. It is fact-driven, based on tax revenue data and provides simple calculations such as the amount of revenue generated or decreased from raising or lowering certain taxes.
The tool uses 2011 tax data provided by the Department of Revenue and Board of Economic Advisors (BEA). The tool will be updated as data is updated and made available. Strobel and Philipoom, a management science professor, began working on the S.C. Tax Tool a year ago. It is funded by the Moore School.
Teegen said she is pleased that the Moore School, as the state's flagship business school, can provide valuable resources and useful tools to help government and business leaders.
"The Moore School continues to apply its expertise and energy to advance our state's economy. This tax calculator will inform debate around tax policy in the state such that policy makers can focus on the substance of proposals considered in light of overall revenue impacts," Teegen said.

this is a ubiquity bug that needs to be patched/updated by the developers of backtrack4 as ubiquity itself has already been updated ...
After downloading bt4-final.iso, md5 checksumming it, booting the KDE desktop and using the install.sh provided on the desktop, I'm attempting to install Backtrack 4 Final to my Macbook 2,1 hard drive on sda5. I want to install the grub bootloader to sda5 as well, since want to retain my current rEFIt bootloader. So far, doing this on sda3 with Ubuntu 10.04 works great, but Backtrack fails every time at the grub install step.
My partition scheme:
sda1: 209 mb boot partition (for the mac EFI boot)
sda2: 59284mb hfs+ (Mac OS 10.6)
free space 134mb
sda3: 19999mb ext3 (Ubuntu 10.04)
sda4: 29999mb ntfs (Windows XP Pro)
sda5: 7999mb ext3 (for Backtrack 4 final)
sda6: 2406mb swap
I configured the partitioner to load sda3 as '/Ubuntu', sda4 as '/WinXPPro' and sda5 as '/'.
Then I configured the boot loader to be installed on '/dev/sda5', because I want to retain my current bootloader setup.
It failes at 94% at "/dev/sda5 grub-install".
The effor message is as follows:
Installer crashed
We're sorry; the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug (do not attach your details to any existing bug) and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible.

InstallStepError: GrubInstaller failed with code 1
Please help!
this is a ubiquity bug that needs to be patched/updated by the developers of backtrack4 as ubiquity itself has already been updated ...
Could I simply download and run the grub install boot disk and install grub on /dev/sda5? Would that work since ubiquity has already installed everything else? I've never run just a grub install/repair - so I'd need a little help with that.
What are my options from here? I still would like to run BT4 from my local HDD.
What are my options at this point? Could I create a grub install boot disk and run the command: "/dev/sda5 grub-install" ? I already have an installation of grub2 on sda3 with lucid lynx (ubuntu 10.04).
It seems like it failed on the very last step - I'm just not well versed enough with ubiquity/debian/backtrack to know what the best course of action is here.
Any suggestions welcome!!

LONDON (Reuters) - Former double Olympic champion Sebastian Coe wants the ban for athletes failing drugs tests to be increased from two to four years, he said on Sunday.
"We have to go back from two years to four years. The move down to two did a lot of damage to my sport," Coe, the chairman of last year's London Olympics, told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme.
"It is for the clean athletes. I don't care about the cheats we weed out. These people are trashing my sport."
Coe was speaking after sprinters Tyson Gay of the United States and Asafa Powell of Jamaica, both Olympic and world championship gold medallists, provided positive samples earlier this month. Both have withdrawn from next month's world championships in Moscow.
Coe, who won the Olympic 1,500 metres titles in Moscow in 1980 and Los Angeles in 1984 and is now a vice-president of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), is concerned people are losing faith in the sport.
"It is depressing. Trust sits at the heart of this," he said.
"I don't think trust is gone entirely but it was a bad day for the sport. The big challenge here is to go on fighting, this is not a fight we can afford to lose.
"It is about trust. If fans can't trust the athletes and go there knowing what they are watching is questionable, then we will descend to American wrestling where most of the crowd know it is fake and, worryingly, don't care."
Coe believes that athletes are prepared to take risks by cheating as the two-year ban does not take enough time out of their career to be a deterrent.
"If I could bring lifetime bans in I would," he told the BBC.
"The legal inhibitor to be able to do that is profound. We are not going to be able to have life bans, they would be challenged and when we have done it we have lost.
"Four years does make people think, it is a big chunk of your career, but two years with appeals is often only 18 months. Too many athletes have been prepared to take the risk."

Worried About Earthquake Damage?
If you're worried about serious house damage from all the recent earthquakes, let the president of the Oklahoma State Homebuilders Association put your mind at ease. "Most of these wood frame structures that are dry-walled with brick veneers are going to do just fine," says Todd Booze. "I don't feel like there's any reason to be overly concerned." He says houses are flexible. "They move with changing soil conditions, when you go from really wet times to really dry times. A house can be designed to move anywhere from one to two inches in this area."
He says you might get cracks in your drywall or brick mortar, but that is no indication of serious structural damage.

For Indians and Indian Country there are special rules that govern state and local jurisdiction. There may also be federal and tribal laws that apply.
California American Indian/Alaska Native Data Sources
Insufficient tribally-specific data makes it exceedingly difficult for American Indian/Alaska Native communities to document the magnitude and nature of problems such as child abuse, domestic violence, or crime so that tribes can secure the funding necessary to address these problems. It also makes it difficult for tribal/state/local partnerships to work on these problems together. To begin to address this issue, the Judicial Council of California, in collaboration with the Tribal Law and Policy Institute, investigated what tribally-specific data is available and prepared a summary of these data sources and a related annotated bibliography.
Native American Statistical Abstract: Population Characteristics
Bureau of Indian Affairs Tribal Leader's Directory
1. How many California tribes are there?
There are 109 federally recognized Indian tribes, including several tribes with lands that cross state boundaries. There are also about 45 tribal communities of formerly recognized tribes that were terminated as part of the United States' termination policy in the 1950s or tribal communities that were never recognized by the federal government.
2. Where are the tribes located?
California's tribes are everywhere throughout the state, including
3. How many Native Americans reside in California?
California has the highest Native American population in the country. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, California represents 12 percent of the total Native American population (approximately 720,000) identified themselves as Native American. Over one-half of the state's Native American population is composed of individuals (and now their descendants) who were relocated to large urban areas as part of the federal government's termination policy.
4. How large are the California tribes?
California's tribes are as small as five members and as large as 5,000 members. Compare these numbers to those of Oklahoma's tribes, which range from 200 members to 315,000 members.
- A justice of the peace to remove Indians from lands in a white person's possession
- Any Indian to be declared vagrant (upon word of a white person), thrown in jail, and sold at auction for up to four months with no pay
- The kidnapping, selling, and use of Indian children as slaves
- Indentured servitude of any Indian (one report mentioned 110 servants who ranged from ages 2 to 50, 49 of whom were between 7 and 12 years old)
- Prohibited Indians from testifying in court against a white person
- Funding for similar reservation-based programs was denied.
- Those who participated in the federal relocation programs were usually required to sign agreements that they would not return to their respective reservations to live.
- Between 60,000 and 70,000 out-of-state Native Americans settled in Los Angeles and San Francisco. To date, these cities have two of the largest urban Native
American populations in the United States.
6. How are California's Indian child welfare issues impacted by this history?
This history, combined with the treatment of Native American children that resulted in the passage of ICWA, the effects of Public Law 280, and the county-based system in place in California provide significant, but not impossible, challenges.
7. What tribal programs are in place today?
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Native American Programs Training "Working Effectively with Tribal Governments". This training gives a good overview of the historical, legal and cultural considerations involved with working with tribes. Registration is required for first time users.
Continuing the Dialogue
This broadcast features discussions by state and tribal court judges on the history of Native Americans in California, U.S. government impact on Native American families, federal and state laws, the Indian Child Welfare Act, and application of the ICWA.
