CSO Information & Announcements
Fall On-Campus Interviewing Program
Employment Opportunities
Fellowships & Scholarships
Job Fairs
The makeup procedures for both the Mandatory 1L Career Services Orientation program and the Resume and Cover Letter Session are now available. Videos from both these programs, along with all accompanying handouts, are posted online here: http://www.kentlaw.iit.edu/career-preparation/programs-and-videos. To watch the video, the user name is "videos" and the password is "kentlaw."
One of the handouts is a SURVEY FORM –
please make sure that you fill out the correct form (for 2015 or 2016
graduates) and fill it out as completely as possible. We use these
forms to assign your career counselor. You MUST return a
completed form to the Career Services Office (Suite 360) ASAP. Survey forms are also available in the Career Services Office.
Each rising 2L and 3L student is required to meet with his or her assigned career advisor by the end of this fall semester.
For those of you interested in a federal court clerkship, applying to
larger federal government agencies with early deadlines (e.g. the
Department of Justice), or considering participation in the fall public
interest job fair Equal Justice Works, we strongly recommend that you
schedule this meeting as soon as possible. Given the difficult market it
is more important than ever that you work with your career advisor to
formulate a comprehensive strategy to accomplish your career goals and
if necessary to adjust them to accommodate a longer-term plan for your
success. Before attending your career strategy session with your
advisor, we recommend conducting some self-analysis regarding the types
of law that interest you, the types of settings in which you would like
to practice, etc. In addition please plan on bringing your most recent
resume with you.
The Chicago-Kent Career Services Office now
offers videoconferencing (ISDN and IP options, as well as Skype) to
allow employers to interview students remotely. Videoconferencing is a
great option for employers and students who cannot travel to conduct
interviews. This videoconferencing equipment is located in Suite
360A, and it is available for students to use in interviewing or other
programs upon request. Please contact the Career Services Office
at firstname.lastname@example.com in advance to reserve use of the video equipment.
The Career Services Office is
pleased to announce that videos of our programming are now available to
be viewed online. Most of our programming will be available on our
website within 1-2 days of the original program date and will remain
available for viewing for 2-3 weeks, due to limited server space.
Program videotapes will still be available in our office. A password is required to view these programs. Please call our office at 312-906-5200 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
for the username and password. To watch videos of our programming, go
to the CSO's web page, click on the right hand navigation bar "Student
Information" and select "Programs and Videos." Or, click here to be taken directly to the page.
If you receive callbacks/offers during the fall
interview season, please report this to our office by sending an email
to firstname.lastname@example.com every couple weeks or so. Please
include from what source you obtained the interview/offer (OCI, resume
collect, CCBA job fair, Loyola Patent Fair, etc.). We keep track
of these in order to determine how students are doing and where our
students end up working during the summer/after graduation. Also,
if you have any concerns about how your interviews are progressing or
questions about the interview process, please make an appointment to
talk with a career counselor.
Please remember to check Symplicity frequently during the 2012 Fall Recruiting process.
Changes to room numbers, interviewers, and possibly even changes to
your interview schedule itself may occur at any point in the recruiting
process. The CSO will not send out emails regarding
such changes unless entire interview schedules are canceled. It is your
responsibility to continually check Symplicity.

The Judicial Resources Committee and Just The Beginning Foundation are pleased to announce the third annual Summer Judicial Internship Diversity Project. The Project's goal is to provide summer judicial internships for highly qualified minority, underrepresented, and economically disadvantaged law students. The Project is national in scope and will place 75 students as judicial interns in federal appellate, district, bankruptcy, and magistrate judges' chambers across the country. Interns will have the opportunity to draft bench memoranda, judicial orders, and opinions on a variety of substantive matters, including motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, magistrate judge reports, and habeas corpus petitions. Applicants should possess strong research and writing skills and be prepared to handle the rigors of working in a federal court.
There will be an initial screening which will identify qualified candidates eligible for a first-round interview conducted in-person or by telephone. Applicants who clear this round will be referred to one of the Project's Participating Judges for a second-round interview, after which each Participating Judge will make a final hiring decision. Applicants who are hired must commit to attending two mandatory training workshops prior to the beginning of the internship, either in-person or via videoconference, and must be available to work full-time as unpaid intern for a minimum of six weeks.
All of the program requirements are attached in the accompanying Memorandum of Understanding. Applicants should submit the following materials: (1) a cover letter explaining the applicant's interest in diversity and participating in the Summer Judicial Internship Diversity Project; (2) a resume; (3) a law school transcript, official or unofficial (if first semester law school grades are unavailable or incomplete, please send an undergraduate transcript and supplement with law school grades as they become available); (4) a writing sample (no more than 10 pages in length); (5) a list of three references; and (6) a completed geographical preference form with locational ranking (available at www.jtbf.org). At present this is an unpaid internship, so applicants are encouraged to seek law school or non-profit funding. Also, applicants are strongly encouraged to apply to the ABA's Judicial Intern Opportunity Program, which has been a source of funding for Project interns.
Institute for Justice (IJ) summer law clerks participate in IJ's fast-paced litigation docket, including legal research, brief writing, client interviewing, and op-ed writing. For example, IJ is currently saving a non-profit boxing gym in California from being bulldozed for private profit. On the east coast, IJ is cutting through Boston's anti-competitive regulatory maze so an entrepreneur can begin his amphibious vehicle tour service. The Institute is also defending Colorado citizens from an unconstitutional attack on their First Amendment rights via campaign finance regulations. Parents in Arizona are teamed up with IJ to secure their freedom to choose the best education for their kids. Summer clerkships are available at IJ's headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, as well as at our state chapters in Arizona, Minnesota, Texas and Washington. Students interested in IJ's summer law student programs should visit www.ij.org/students for more information and to apply. If you have any questions about IJ's clerkship and internship program, email IJ's student program coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com. The application deadline is January 4, 2013.

Applications for the MSBA 1L Minority Clerkship Program are due January 25, 2013.
The Minnesota Minority Clerkship Program (MMCP) is in its eighth year
since implementation. The program was conceived and is administered by
the Diversity Committee with the purpose of fostering diversity within
the Minnesota legal community.
The program is designed to match selected 1L students-of-color with
participating Minnesota legal employers for a summer clerkship
opportunity. The clerkship program gives employers and students a unique
opportunity to establish contacts, obtain "real world" experience and
promote diversity in the legal profession. To learn more about who
qualifies, click here.
Here is how it works:
Each 1L law student who provides a complete application and who
self-identifies as a minority under the EEOC definition of minority will
be interviewed by members of the Diversity Committee and other
volunteer attorneys. A limited number of students (based on the number
of participating employers) will be chosen for a second round of
interviews. Those students chosen for the second round of interviews are
guaranteed summer employment. However, they will still need to
interview with all the participating employers during a day-long
interview process. The employers and students will then rank their
choices from first to last. The MMCP chair will then generate a blind
match of employer and students, which will determine the employment
matches for the clerkship program.
To apply for the clerkship program you will need to submit:
Each 1L law student who provides a complete application and who
identifies as a minority will be interviewed by members of the Diversity
Committee. A limited number of applicants will be selected for a second
round of interviews.

Law students, practicing lawyers, human rights
professionals, scholars and other individuals seeking assistance in
conducting international fieldwork and law-related research are
encouraged to apply.
Funded in part by contributions from ASIL members
and private foundations, Helton Fellowships provide financial assistance
in the form of "micro-grants" for law students and young professionals
to pursue field work and research on significant issues involving
international law, human rights, humanitarian affairs and related areas.
Helton Fellowship micro-grants are intended to
ensure that these individuals have access to modest amounts of funding
that can often stand between them and their first professional
opportunities to become effective practitioners, experts and scholars of
international law.
Helton Fellowship micro-grants are intended to
contribute to paying for logistics, housing and living expenses, and
other costs related to the Fellow's international law fieldwork and
research in affiliation with the sponsoring organization.
Applicants must be sponsored or affiliated, for
purposes of completing their project, in some way with an educational
institution, international organization or non-governmental organization
working in international law, human rights, humanitarian affairs or
related areas.
The application form and guidelines for a qualifying proposal, as well as general information, may be found at the ASIL website. Due to administrative constraints,only the first 50 completed applications, submitted on-line, and received in full by the submission deadline will be reviewed.
A notice that the application process has closed will be posted on the
ASIL website once 50 completed applications have been received.
Applicants may submit application materials beginning Monday, October 15, 2012. All applications must be received no later than Monday, January 7, 2013 by 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time.

school in the United States. Authors may not have graduated from law
school prior to December 1, 2012. Graduate students in law school (LLM
candidates) are not eligible. Entries may address any aspect of
public or private sector labor and/or employment law relevant to the
American labor and employment bar. Articles may address U.S. law,
international law of relevance to U.S. labor and employment attorneys,
or how a legal topic is treated in states across the country, but papers
limited to the law of a single state will not be considered.
Students are encouraged to discuss a public policy issue, practical

standards for publication.
For 40 years, this competition was known as the
"Roscoe Hogan Environmental Law Essay Contest." It was established in
1970 by the late Roscoe B. Hogan of Birmingham, Alabama, a prominent
environmental lawyer. The competition provided law students the
opportunity to investigate and offer solutions to the many injustices
inflicted on the environment.
With additional support from attorney Gerson
Smoger — a past president of Public Justice and current board member —
the contest was renamed, and, beginning with the 2011 competition,
expanded to consider not only environmental but all forms of injustice.
For the 2013 contest, writers should address the question, "Is Democracy for Sale?"
Prize: $5000 and free 2013 Public Justice membership.

The Women's Rights Project of the American Civil
Liberties Union Foundation's (ACLU) National Office in New York City
seeks applicants for sponsored fellowships, such as Skadden, Equal
Justice Works, Liman and other public interest fellowships, beginning in
the Fall of 2013.
Founded in 1972 by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the
Women's Rights Project has been a leader in the legal battles to ensure
women's full equality in American society. WRP is dedicated to the
advancement of the rights and interests of women, with a particular
emphasis on issues affecting low-income women, women of color, and
immigrant women. WRP has overall responsibility for implementing ACLU
policy in the area of gender discrimination. WRP conducts direct
litigation, files amicus curiae briefs, provides support for ACLU
affiliate litigation, serves as a resource for ACLU legislative work on
women's rights, and seeks to advance ACLU policy goals through public
education, outreach, and participation in coalitions. WRP has been an
active participant in virtually all of the major gender discrimination
litigation in the Supreme Court, in Congressional efforts to promote
gender equality, and in other significant public education on behalf of
women and girls.
The Women's Rights Project has three core priority
areas of focus: education; violence against women and girls; and
employment. Cutting across these priority areas, WRP seeks to
incorporate an international human rights framework into its litigation
and advocacy efforts.

Coldplay are a lot like Ron Howard. They consistently produce well regarded, commercially successful and occasionally moving work. And they're really nice. The problem with this is that, like Apollo 13 or Frost/Nixon, their output is often too sanitised to make the jump from good to great.
The opening track on their latest offering, Coldplay Live 2012, only seems to reinforce this. More music video than live concert footage, the lyrics to 'Mylo Xyloto' are scrawled across the screen as footage of the band is interspersed with shots of impassioned pretty people singing along, eyes screwed tight with emotion.
In direct contrast to the predictable opener are a sequence of interviews with individual band members that frame the live tracks; insightful and considered, it's clear that Coldplay are an outfit made up of intelligent individuals who have worked carefully and diligently to reach the position they are now in. So much so that on occasion you could imagine what's being discussed is a successful internet start up rather than a rock band.
The explanations behind their approach to writing the album, shaping its aesthetic and carrying out the live shows also help contextualise the concert footage, lending it significantly more emotional weight. Even if you're not interested in Coldplay's music the interviews are worth a watch for some unexpected insights, including an introspective Will Champion highlighting the juxtaposition that a global stadium tour presents, in moving from playing to tens of thousands of people to sitting alone with your thoughts on an aeroplane in a matter of minutes.
Musically it's a relatively even selection from the Coldplay back catalogue, filmed in a range of venues from the epic to the intimate across multiple countries. The size and scale of the undertaking that is a global stadium tour is also teased out, from footage of setups or takedowns and a clever use of Google Earth to zoom in and out between venue and country changes.
The more recent, stadium friendly and lively likes of 'Paradise' and 'Charlie Brown' are well cut with slower, more introspective material, and the likes of 'Yellow' are reworked, creating a collective moment of dawning realisation once the vocals start. The power of a mass group experience is clearly something that has informed much of the thinking that went into this tour – Martin talks of the importance of fostering a sense of community, of '30,000 lives colliding' and creating a spider web of connectivity that connects him to every audience member he looks in the eyes. It's this thinking that informed the creation of the wristbands, with the aim to make "every person part of the show"; whether you're a fan of Coldplay or not, the moment when the wristbands are activated is undeniably magical.
For such a successful outfit, it's intriguing to hear that this tour has been the first time the band has felt ready to play stadiums, and the first time Martin has felt able to look audience members in the eyes. Mylo Xyloto is described as being about 'enjoying yourself and not feeling guilty' and that really comes across, both through live footage and the interviews. It's fair to say that the fireworks, confetti canons and those infamous wristbands all attest to a group about as far removed from the dour Mercury nominees of yore as possible.

As salmonella bacteria are the most commonly reported cause of foodborne illnesses, never has testing been so important. However, while conventional salmonella test kits involve numerous complicated steps, Hygiena International's recently developed InSite Salmonella micro-organism colorimetric test is rapid, convenient and extremely accurate.
It combines both swab, pre-enrichment and selective enrichment in a single self-contained swab device for testing environmental surfaces, giving results in 24 hours.
Salmonella bacteria are found worldwide in a range of cold and warm-blooded animal species. In most cases, salmonella infections are contracted by ingesting poultry, pork, beef, fish or seafood that has not been heated/cooked appropriately, or was cross-contaminated after preparation. Eggs, milk, cheese, raw fruits, vegetables, spices and nuts can also harbour the bacteria. The resulting illness, Salmonellosis, is characterised by sometimes severe bouts of diarrhoea, fever, vomiting and abdominal cramps. According to the European Food Safety Authority, around 100,000 cases are reported every year in the EU.
Designed with the facts in mind, Hygiena InSite is a cost-effective Salmonella screening test for food contact surfaces, processing equipment and general environmental samples that combines the principal steps of pre-enrichment and selective enrichment in an all-in-one swab device. The test consists of a large sponge swab pre-wetted with a neutralising agent - to counter the effects of residual sanitisers - and a pre-enrichment broth to enable the detection of low numbers of Salmonella.
The bulb contains the AOAC enrichment Salmonella Indicator Broth PDX-SIB. After activation and incubation, a colour change of the selective enrichment broth from purple to yellow is considered as a 'presumptive positive' result.
A brief pre-enrichment period of just six hours enables the detection of presumptive positive samples within a 24-hour period. Alternatively, optional overnight or 24-hour pre-enrichment permits the detection of such samples in 48 hours. The test requires fewer materials, fewer steps and less manipulation by users. Furthermore, its all-in-one format maintains security by confining hazardous pathogens.
Screening for pathogens is a vital element of environmental monitoring programmes for certain food manufacturing plants. Not only does it confirm the effectiveness of a sanitation procedure, environmental monitoring also forms part of a comprehensive preventive control verification programme.
It is imperative that testing for the presence of Salmonella is carried out during facilities manufacturing and processing as well as wherever there is packing/holding of foods for consumption. However, while there are probably 40 different methods for salmonella detection currently commercially available, all require a skilled operator and are time-consuming, laborious and prone to errors at several stages.
In contrast, Hygiena InSite is quick, straightforward and reliable, while further benefits include reduced risk of cross-contamination and the retention of active culture for any subsequent verification and identification tests.
An instructional video explaining the product details and proper use of InSite Salmonella can be viewed at: http://www.hygiena.com/insite-salmonella-food-and-beverage.html

President Obama announced a new policy that allows law-abiding young people who were brought here illegally as children to not face deportation.
Immigrant students had in recent years become highly organized and increasingly public in their quest to gain legal residency.
"It's not everything that we need, but it's a big step," said Renata Teodoro, right, who moved from Brazil when she was 6 years old.

The San Francisco 49ers announced on Thursday that free-agent receiver Ted Ginn Jr. has signed a one-year deal to return to the team.
"We are glad that Ted has decided to return to the 49ers in 2012," general manager Trent Baalke told the team's official website. "He is a versatile player and an excellent teammate that will continue to play an important role for us on both offense and special teams."
Ginn has 2,047 receiving yards and six touchdowns in five seasons. In two seasons with the 49ers, Ginn returned 62 punts for 787 yards and two scores and ran back 76 kickoffs for 1,792 yards and one touchdown.
The receiver and return man, who will turn 27 in April, was drafted by the Dolphins in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft.
Because Ginn missed the 2011 NFC Championship Game with an injury, Kyle Williams was pressed into punt-return duty. Williams committed a crucial turnover, fumbling a punt return to set up the game-winning field goal for the eventual Super Bowl champion Giants.
Ginn visited Detroit, Minnesota and Baltimore before staying with a 49ers team that has already added Mario Manningham and Randy Moss to a thin receiving corps. With those two newcomers, along with Michael Crabtree back, Ginn might not get a whole lot more chances to catch the ball this year.
"I was happy with my role," he said. "When you're playing a game like this, you have to be a team player. That's what I am first. Everybody wishes they could get a ball or two more. That's being a human being."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

This morning NVIDIA released a new graphics card called the GeForce GTX 560 Ti with 448 Cores. This is a limited edition graphics card, and as its name implies, the GTX 560 Ti with 448 Cores is outfitted with 448 CUDA cores. As most enthusiasts and gamers know, both CPU's and GPU's are binned and tested as they are produced. The chips that don't pass testing for one speed might find new life as a different part. NVIDIA has been make the GeForce GTX 570 graphics cards for over a year now and we were told that there has been a pile of GPU cores that didn't pass for a GTX 570 sitting in a warehouse for some time. Some engineers and marketing people at NVIDIA thought why not make a limited edition run of a new video card to clear out the inventory and to also 'give back' to gamers by selling them at a sweet price. The result of that decision was to release a card called the GeForce GTX 560 Ti with 448 Cores for a suggested retail price of just $289.
With game titles like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Battlefield 3, and Batman: Arkham City many gamers are looking to upgrade their video cards, so this is NVIDIA's best attempt to get your holiday money!
The NVIDIA GeForce 560 Ti with 448 cores reference design is a GeForce GTX 570 reference design card with a GPU that has 448 cores enabled on it rather than the full 480 cores. As a result the thermal design power rating has dropped from 219W down to just 210W. When it comes to performance NVIDIA says that it will be between the GTX 560 Ti and the GTX 570. To be specific the GTX 560 Ti with 448 cores is ~10-15% faster than a 560 Ti. The GTX 570 is ~5% faster than the GTX 560 Ti with 448 cores. Most GeForce GTX 570 graphics cards cost between $339 to $359 on Newegg, so this is a chance to save $50 to $70 and get a card that is just 5% slower.
NVIDIA didn't send us a reference card to test, but our friends over at MSI sent a card for us to review today. They will be offering two flavors of the GeForce 560 Ti with 448 cores; one based off the reference design and another 'Power Edition' card featuring the Twin Frozr III GPU cooler. The reference design will be $289 and the MSI Power Edition will be around $299.99-309.99 MSRP, similar to the GTX570 vs GTX570 Power Edtion difference in pricing. MSI feels that with the extra overclocking headroom and improved thermal solution that the $20 price premium is well worth it for consumers! The card that we were sent for testing was the MSI N560GTX-448 Power Edition.
The MSI N560GTX-448 Power Edition is factory overclocked up to 750MHz on the core clock and 3900MHz on the memory clock, so it will be interesting to see how it performance against a stock GeForce GTX 570. MSI listed the TDP on this overclocked GF110 powered card as 230W.
Let's take a closer look at the MSI N560GTX-448 Power Edition video card and then get on to the benchmarks!

Patrick. ________________________________ From: email@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of Paul Vincent Sent: jeudi 9 octobre 2008 18:12 To: Changhai Ke; RIF WG Subject: RE: [PRD] ACTION-619: Examples in JRules to support discussion on Assert and Modify --> same in TIBCO BE Excellent example :-) TIBCO's BusinessEvents rule engine (used for CEP) is similar to the classic own-object-model AI / KBS systems of the early 90s, which used custom object models and classic AI-type frames. In (our) CEP the "events" fed in are not existing Java objects (even if a Java object was the original source). But still, an event is usually decomposed into a created object (ie a fact is asserted representing the event)*. The fact is in object form, so uses a constructor as if it was a Java object. The creation of the object is *generally* the same as asserting it into the rule engine WM (the boundary case is that, outside of a rule agent, I can create objects and stuff them into the data grid for later collection / assertion under program control, or use in some other kind of agent, or load an existing object from cache - but that is irrelevant for RIF purposes). The same is true for the retract / destructor (ie we can remove the object which also removes it from WM). For distributed agent systems, outside of the scope of RIF PRD, we also have object control commands to remove from WM (but leave in the cache for other agents to use). Also true for "modify" (like other PR engines, we don't explicitly say "modify" but simply define actions against objects)... The qu for RIF PRD - is the cost of using frame / BLD definitions outweighing the compactness of object oriented notions? I wonder if a object-predicate PRD-BLD notation mapper isn't the way to go, and keep PRD more useful and focused on the object world? Notes: * the representation of rules in terms of objects is irrespective of whether the underlying representation of the objects are tuples. Paul Vincent TIBCO | Business Optimization | Business Rules & CEP ________________________________ From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Changhai Ke Sent: 09 October 2008 16:36 To: RIF WG Subject: [PRD] ACTION-619: Examples in JRules to support discussion on Assert and Modify Hello all, Per my action-619: http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/actions/619 booked during the RIF-PRD meeting of 07/10, below is an example of "assert" and some explanations about "modify". Regards, Changhai Syntax of "assert" in ILOG JRules In production rule systems, "assert" allows to add an object to the rule engine's working memory. In ILOG JRules, the original "assert" has been renamed to "insert" to avoid confusion with JDK's assert capability (since JDK 1.4). This is an example: rule BuyNewBooks { when { // some conditions not expressed here, // because not relevant for our discussion } then { insert Book("978-0-201-72789-0") { title = "The Power of Events"; price = 40; year = 2007; author = "David Luckham"; category = "computer science"; } } } Explanations * "insert" is the rule language keyword, it is to assert a new object. * "Book" is the name of the class. It is optionally followed by a list of arguments within (). Here we want to use a constructor with one argument: the ISBN number. The argument can be typed string, or more strongly typed. The choice is up to the object model designer. * After the book object is created using the selected constructor, the block of statements within {} is executed in the scope of the current object. Here, we assign some values to its fields. "title" means the field "title" of the current object. * After all the statements are executed, the object is reputed well-initialized. * Finally, the object is added to the rule engine's working memory. The real assertion is done here. Comments * JRules provides the capability to select a constructor. If PRD chooses to always use a constructor with no argument (this puts a little constraint on the business object model), the previous statement can be rewritten as: insert Book { ISBN = "978-0-201-72789-0" title = "The Power of Events"; price = 40; year = 2007; author = "David Luckham"; category = "computer science"; }; * Here, the 0-arg constructor is used, and the ISBN field is explicitly assigned. * Although the absence of arguments in the constructor is a weakness, it can be acceptable in a first version. * JRules "insert" adds a whole object to the WM, after it is initialized. * In JRules, we don't have a notion of "asserting a field value", we assert a whole object. But the fields can be multi-valued, and it is possible to add a value to a multi-valued field. Can this be understood as the capability of "asserting a field value"? Non-intrusiveness of production rule systems One important principle of rule systems is being non-intrusive to the application object model. When an application is designed, the designer had the freedom to design the object model accordingly to the pure business requirements. He/she designs the classes, and will assign them some constructors. Some of them will be with arguments, and some others without arguments, this is dictated by the business needs. Only later on, the rules are brought into the application. The rules must then infer on an existing object model, without requiring altering it. As a matter of fact, people who write rules are not necessarily the ones who designed the object model. In this sense, the inability of RIF-PRD to use any form of constructor violates the non-intrusiveness of production rule systems. Although we are making the decision to support only zero-arg constructors, this weakness needs to be understood and acknowledged. Necessity of a "modify" for RIF-PRD A "modify" statement signifies that an object in the WM is being modified, one or several fields are assigned new values. Below is an example of syntax in ILOG JRules: modify ?b { year = 2008; price = 50; } Here, the variable ?b must be previously bound to an object. Its notation and the manner it has been bound are out of the scope of this discussion. The statement block within {} assigns new values to some fields of the object. After all the assignments are done, the modified object is used by the rule engine (to infer new rule instances to fire). Without a "modify" statement, the object modifications will be simulated in RIF-PRD using "retract" and "assert", in the following way: retract ?b; ?b.year = 2008; ?b.price = 50; insert ?b; This is much more verbose and ugly than a native "modify" statement. A modify statement is required for a few reasons: * Most of the production rule systems, ILOG JRules, Fair Isaac, Drools, Jess, OPS family, have a "modify" statement (sometimes called "change", "update") etc. * This indicates that an object is being modified. The engine can be prepared accordingly. This also improves human readability. * It is an essential feature to build Truth Maintenance System. Retract/assert would break the truth maintenance. * The paper attached in this e-mail discusses the interests of an in-place modify, although this can be considered as an implementation detail (a relatively significant challenge in production systems). Note this paper has been followed by several other papers. * A "modify" does not necessarily mean that all the rule systems must implement this in a specific way. It is firstly a convenient syntax to express object modifications. In the operational semantics, we can figure out a way, such that this can be implemented as a retract/assert pair, or as an in-place update.Received on Friday, 10 October 2008 10:02:42 UTC

I use nextiva's call center solution of for my business. I had a bit of an issue setting up, but called support and they had me up and running by the end of the call. It was more an error on my part than anything else. I haven't had and call quality issues and the price is good. I've only been using it for a month, so i'll update my review in a few months if I have any issues. So far so good and I would recommend them.
Joe Limestu
I recommend Nextiva highly. I run a small auto body shop and was using an old traditional phone system which was costing me a lot each moth. I started researching VoIP solutions and came across nextiva on this site and gave them a call. They were really professional and hooked me up with a great deal on a hosted phone system as well as the phones. I have been using it now for a few months and the quality is great and I've had no issues - plus, I'm saving about $300 a month! love these guys!

VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a new form of digital IP telephone service in which calls are sent and received over the Internet. To utilize Voice over IP phone systems, all users need is a high speed Internet connection and a VoIP service provider.
VoIP service providers offer many highly advanced, next generation calling and conferencing features. Often these features are included, and can be real valuable assets every step of the way throughout your specific communication needs. Traditionally, many of the calling features now included with VoIP phone services were exercised by a human being operating a switchboard. Directing call traffic appropriately is vital to the success of any business. With voice over IP solutions, many of them are customizable to put your business at the pinnacle of efficiency and professionalism. Network features are designed to make sure your business never misses a beat – keeping your infrastructure at the tip of your fingers at all times.
1. Get Lower Monthly Rates/Fees – Low prices are due to the fact that VoIP technology is built upon the infrastructure of your existing internet service, and because voice data is much cheaper to send over the internet compared to landlines.
2. Get All Inclusive Calling Plans with Unlimited Local & Long Distance – With VoIP, every call is a local call. Most plans will offer all inclusive calling for a flat price, which is still much less than the cost of a landline phone.
3. Free Premium Features You Never Have To Pay For – VoIP includes features that are not available with landlines such as: voicemail transcriptions, auto-attendants, HD Voice & Video, E911, unified communications, and more. These features come standard with all VoIP plans.
4. Immediate Flexibility &Scalability – VoIP eliminates your costs on unused services. VoIP companies offer specialized plans tailored to your specific needs, allowing users to make changes on the go, making it easier for business to scale.
In going the VoIP route, look for a company that offers a simple, condensed solution. Here's how:
Step 1. Define which services you need: how many phones do you need? Do you need specific calling features? Narrowing down your precise calling needs will make it easier when comparing plans.
Step 2. Establish a budget: with your set budget and calling needs in mind, you can easily narrow down providers that can deliver the services you need within your set budget.
Step 3. Evaluate key aspects of providers: such as reliability, customer service, satisfaction guarantee, terms, cost, and security. With this information accounted for, you will be able to differentiate between provider offerings.
Step 4. Read VoIP Reviews: research user feedback, take notice of VoIP ratings and the unbiased experiences from current subscribers. This will give you a better sense of what to expect, as well as the overall user experience of the company.
We address the above 4 steps in our easy-to-read comparison charts of the best VoIP providers and their offerings. Every key detail is front and center in our extensive round-up comparisons. Don't get swept up in what might be great marketing unsupported by likewise service. We've done the research for you, by narrowing down the best VoIP providers in the industry. Follow the above 4 steps for a seamless transition.
When shoppers ask which is the best VoIP service or who are the top VoIP providers, no two answers should ever be the same. Keep in mind, that the best VoIP service for one individual or business, might not be the most ideal for you. It's all about finding a VoIP provider that can cater to your specific needs. Users should consider these factors when selecting a VoIP provider:
1. Support – is there 24/7 support offered? What are the support options and where is the center based.
2. Reliability/Down Time – How often is the system scheduled to be down for upgrades and maintenance?
3. Quality of Service – Be sure the provider is able to deliver the high quality calls at all times.
4. Versatility – Look for a provider who is able to grow and shift along with you and your needs.
Once familiarized with VoIP services, hone in on what these features can do for you and how to transition to the next level. First and foremost, is cost – a universal concern for anyone. Check the provider's plans and pricing and be sure they're the most cost efficient for your calling needs. There is also quality & reliability, portability, customer support, and a satisfaction guarantee; all key factors that may be clinchers or deal-breakers when going through the process.

Cooler Master HAF Stacker Case Review
Cooler Master HAF Stacker: Introduction
Today we take a look at the Cooler Master HAF Stacker(s), which is the newest product in the HAF lineup. Cooler Master is a Taiwan-based company formed in 1992 with many years of experience under its belt. Cooler Master's product lineup range from power supplies, CPU coolers, peripherals, and computer cases. The HAF Stacker currently only has two cases in its lineup, which are the 935 full tower and 915F Mini-ITX Chassis covered in this review. Cooler Master has been known to cater towards the modding and water cooling market, and this time is no different as it built these HAF Stackers from the ground up to take advantage of that fact. Cooler Master listened to what the modding community wanted and this chassis is the outcome from trial and error. So without further delay, let's look at the box.
Cooler Master HAF Stacker: HAF 935 Closer Look
It's important to remember not everyone has things shipped to their home or know exactly what they want. When it is shipped, it's often squashed and bounced around. This is why companies need to protect their product. If a customer is checking it out at the store, the company also should provide a good deal of information on the outside. So here we have it, a simple brown box with the brand and model number in giant letters. Unfortunately this is all the box as to offer and something Cooler Master may want to address in a revision if it wants to please the store consumer. The box itself is slightly less than three feet tall and weighs 39 pounds.
Once the box is open we are able to take a peek at the packaging. The case is held in place with the standard Styrofoam blocks. In the past I tend to bring up weight issues when it comes to heavier chassis. This one is a bit heavier weighing in at 39 pounds (17.6kg) and a bit taller than usual. Cooler Master has taken a different approach by layering the Styrofoam rather than sticking it on the sides. Other than being extra tall, it came out smooth enough.

MEXICO CITY -- Even when it's more than half empty, the Estadio Azteca is a monstrous, overwhelming sight to behold for those who take a moment to appreciate its grandeur. Thousands stayed home last Wednesday night, forgoing the usual traffic, holding on to the expectation that with or without their vocal support, El Tri would roll over Jamaica to start the Hexagonal campaign en route to Brazil 2014.
The journalists expected it as well, with pre-game comments ranging from the snarky-yet-clever to the crass stuff you might expect a drunken fan to say. By all accounts, it was a done deal. The overconfidence seeped onto the pitch as well, and onto the bench. Despite warnings to the contrary, Jose Manuel 'Chepo' de la Torre's players were claiming victory before going through the formality of actually playing the game.
Sporting the 4-2-2-2 formation that has never quite looked right for Mexico after the 2011 Gold Cup, Mexico initially featured Giovani dos Santos, Andres Guardado, Oribe Peralta and Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez. Even with the usually sparkling Gio and clinical Chicharito on the pitch in the first half, it was Jamaica which had the best chances.
Mexico's best player ended up being Jose de Jesus Corona, whose amazing work in goal made it abundantly clear that he is El Tri's first-choice goalkeeper. In the right back position, Chepo gave Club America standout Paul Aguilar a second chance to start following a dismal showing against Denmark last week. Aguilar did not correct his previous mistakes. The former Pachuca man was a comic cavalcade of mistakes on the right side, flubbing passes and coughing up possession on a regular basis.
Meanwhile, Carlos Vela slept soundly an ocean away, with El Tri undoubtedly needing a player of his caliber to put the game away. Just hours after the USA coughed up an early lead in San Pedro Sula and showed serious deficiencies of their own, Mexico was equally weak, and its manager's insistence on playing a formation that hasn't worked for his team in nearly two years was, ultimately, the final nail in the coffin.
When Chicharito has been allowed to play as a lone striker, with an offensive midfielder like Gio or Marco Fabian floating behind him and attacking wingers on either side, the Manchester United striker has shown fits of greatness, capitalizing on his movement, speed and placement to baffle defenders and put 28 international goals away. With Peralta or Aldo de Nigris by his side, Hernandez is limited to one side of the pitch and, without an attacking midfielder behind him, has to rely exclusively on his wingers to loft crosses in the box.
Despite the "bitterness and sadness" produced by the result -- Chepo's own words -- he will likely experiment with variations of the 4-4-2 scheme that just isn't working anymore. A 4-5-1 or a variation of a 4-3-3 is much more adept now for the players on his squad. That much was readily apparent to the host of critics on Twitter, the journalists in the press box and the nowhere-near-capacity crowd whose boos reverberated in Estadio Azteca's immense caverns.
Usually, those boos are reserved for opponents, pressuring them into mistakes and prompting broader results for El Tri. Wednesday night, the grandiose, overwhelming monster turned on its stubborn master.

The legend is alive
The iconic L-1649A was built only 44 times. The DBLS is currently putting together a single original from to models purchased in 2007
The iconic L-1649A propeller plane was conceived by aviation pioneer Howard Hughes. Built by Lockheed, but only 44 times, it served from 1958 until 1962, when the jet engine arrived. Fortunately, the DLBS Foundation (Deutsche Lufthansa Berlin Stiftung) purchased two models in 2007 from which it is currently putting together a single original, so very soon, the Lufthansa Super Star will take to the air again.
