CURRENT 2Ls WANTING TO DO A SUMMER OR FALL 2002 EXTERNSHIP:
Do you wish to develop your legal skills, gain practical
legal experience in a specialized area of law with a corporation,
firm or government agency, and make yourself more marketable
to prospective employers upon graduation? If so, consider
applying to the Legal Externship Program for Summer or Fall
2002 Semester.
The Legal Externship Program is a 4-credit hour non-graded
program. The program is open predominantly to students in
their last two semesters of law school.
An extern can choose a private or public, civil or criminal
practice and is required to work a minimum of 32 hours a
week for Summer Semester or 16 hours a week for Fall Semester
at his/her designated placement. Externs interested in civil
law may select to work under the supervision of general
counsel in major corporations or under the supervision of
designated teaching lawyers in well-known firms or specific
government agencies. Externs may specialize in such diverse
legal areas as tax, commodities, securities, corporate,
health care, medical malpractice, general corporate law,
etc. Those interested in criminal law may choose to work
with the States Attorney's Office, Public Defender's Office,
or the U.S. Attorney's Office. Many externships offer the
externs opportunities to obtain a 711 license and appear
in court.
Information about the program, placements, student choices
and an accompanying application form are available in the
Law Offices reception area and in the Career Services office.
You must meet with Professor Gross prior to turning in
your application, so that you can discuss your externship
choice possibilities.
If you are interested in learning more about externship
opportunities or in applying to the program, please see
Professor Vivien Gross in Room 617.
If you are interested in exposure to and possible participation
in federal trial and appellate practice while assisting
the U.S. Attorney's Office in handling its multitude of
important cases, please pick up an application from Professor
Gross in Room 617.
Completed applications must be received at the Office of
the U.S. Attorney by Friday, April 12, 2002. The
reason for this accelerated date is because each accepted
extern must go through a security clearance, which takes
several weeks.
To receive law school credit for this externship, should
you be selected by the U.S. Attorney's Office, you must
enroll in the law school's Legal Externship Program. The
law school's externship applications will be available in
early October in Room 600 Law Offices and in the Career
Services office.
Professor Gross will be happy to answer any questions you
may have about either the Externship Program or the externship
position with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Students who would like to learn how to
practice law while they are in law school should apply
for the in-house clinical education program, LAW OFFICES.
Applications for the Fall will be available after 12:00
Noon on April 1 and are due no later than 12:00 Noon
on Friday, April 19, 2002 (due date).
Students may apply for Law Offices after
they have completed the first year of law school for day
division students and the first year and one-half of law
school for evening division students. To be considered
for a place, ALL students must complete and return a Law
Offices application. Applications must be turned in to
the Law Offices' receptionist in Suite 600 by 12:00 Noon
on Friday, April 19, 2002.
Students who have previously taken or are
now taking Law Offices (called Continuing Law Offices
Students) and who submit their applications by the due
date will be given preference in their same practice group
if availability permits. New students who have submitted
their applications by the due date will be selected in
the Law Offices lottery. The total number of available
places during the fall semester is dependent upon the
number of supervising attorneys in each practice group.
The number of available new places is dependent upon the
number of continuing students and has not yet been determined.
There are eight in-house practice groups
from which to choose -- employment discrimination/ civil
rights with some general practice, criminal defense, family
law, first defense legal aid (FDLA), health, information
technology and entrepreneurship (ITEC), mediation and
other ADR procedures, and tax (prerequisites are Personal
Income Tax and Tax Procedure).
With the exception of FDLA, students are
given the option of enrolling for three or four credits.
Students who enroll for four credits put in a minimum
of sixteen hours per week, and students who enroll for
three credits put in a minimum of twelve hours per week
during the semester. Students in FDLA enroll for two credits
and put in a minimum of eight hours per week.
For more information, you may talk to the
clinical professors who supervise the various practice
groups -- Professors Gonzalez (room 629) and Leader (room
625) for labor and employment law; Professors Kling (room
613) and Thomas (room 609) for criminal defense; Professor
Ira Feldman (room 623) for family law; Professor Kraus
(room 627) for health law; Professor Kentra (room 611)
for mediation & other ADR procedures; and Professor
Decatorsmith (room 621) for tax. You may reach Professors
Gersh and Sanchez (ITEC) at (312) 368-2108 or (312) 368-3420.
Professor May is also off-campus and may be reached at
(773) 602-5144, and Professor Laser (room 631) is also
available to answer your questions.
Chicago-Kent College of Law has established
a clinical program in family law. The family law clinic
will operate on a sliding scale fee basis, depending on
the financial circumstances of the parties. The clinic
will represent clients in matters limited to cases to
be brought before the Cook County Circuit Court. Client
referrals will be actively sought from the practicing
bar, labor unions, employee groups, and educational institutions.
In addition, the clinical program will provide
a teaching platform for Chicago-Kent students who are
interested in practicing in the area of family law. All
student work will be under the direct supervision of an
Attorney Ira C. Feldman has been named to
oversee the new program. Prior to his appointment, Feldman
was a partner at the law firm of Wildman, Harrold, Allen
and Dixon. From 1981 to 1991, he was a partner at Naumark,
Bonner and Feldman. Between 1975 and 1981, he headed Feldman
and Associates. Feldman completed his undergraduate at
American University and earned his law degree at the university's
Washington College of Law.
"Professor Feldman is a highly regarded and experienced
practitioner of family law. He will expand the services
of the Chicago-Kent Law Offices to include representation
in matters of legal separation, divorce, child support,
child custody, visitation, guardianships and other related
matters," said Professor Gary S. Laser director of clinical
Chicago-Kent Law Offices was established
in 1976. The program is a fee-generating teaching law
firm that provides clinical practice experiences under
the close supervision of teaching attorneys. The program
delivers outstanding legal services to its clients and
provides high-quality clinical education to more than
150 students each semester. Practice areas include employment
discrimination and civil rights, general practice, criminal
defense, health law, alternative dispute resolution, tax
law, and an advice desk program at the Daley Center.
Chicago-Kent College of Law is the law school
of Illinois Institute of Technology, a private, Ph.D.-granting
institution with programs in engineering, science, psychology,
architecture, business, design and law. Last year, Chicago-Kent
educated more than 1,200 students from 45 states and more
than 100 colleges and universities.
First Defense Legal Aid (FDLA), the only program
of its kind in the country, fills the gap in Illinois' public
defender system by providing 24-hour free legal representation
to adults and children in police custody or under police
investigation. FDLA provides a unique "frontline"
criminal defense experience for students, enabling them
to see: how evidence is collected and created; the tactics
of the Chicago Police Department when trying to extract
a confession or question witnesses; the role that the Cook
County State's Attorney's Felony Review Team plays during
the beginning stages of a criminal investigation; and the
utter vulnerability of children and adults when under intensive
and sometimes abusive interrogation. In addition to this
stationhouse representation, FDLA also works toward the
permanent improvement of our criminal justice system by
educating the public, organizing community residents to
combat police misconduct, by engaging in legislative and
community advocacy, investigating patterns of misconduct
by the Chicago Police, taking select criminal defense cases
to trial, and initiating 42 U.S.C. §1983 litigation
to improve the policies and procedures of the Chicago Police
as they relate to the treatment of persons in police custody.
Students participating in the FDLA class must
be eligible for a Illinois Supreme Court Rule 711 license.
Students representing FDLA clients at Chicago Police Stations
will gain unique insight into the criminal justice system
at its earliest stage and be able to:
1. View and Document Line-Ups, DNA testing,
and Halt Lie Detector Tests.
2. Assert a Client's 5th Amendment Right to Remain Silent
and 6th Amendment Right to Counsel.
3. Gather Information from the Police on the Progress of
the Investigation.
4. Document Police Brutality and other Misconduct.
5. Counsel Clients and Provide Information to their Families.
6. Interview Witnesses.
7. Demand a Client's Immediate Release at the Police Station
and in Court.
Students will be trained to provide legal
representation to adults and children under criminal investigation.
In addition to a weekly, one-hour class (Mondays from 5:00
p.m. to 6:00 p.m.), students will be available to represent
persons in custody six hours each week and actually go to
the police station to represent them. Students will be provided
with pagers and FDLA will reimburse transportation expenses.
Three supervising attorneys will be available at all times
to assist students and provide support. For more information,
contact Presita R. May, at 773/602-5144, or firstname.lastname@example.com

(The Root) — There's something about Brooklyn in summer. The Fort Greene neighborhood was the first place in the Big Apple that I, a 22-year-old budding journalist from Northern California, really called home. There were artists, hipsters, hippies, hip-hoppers, neo-soulers and punks, and everyone was black.
I'd never seen anything like that all rolled up into one neighborhood. I was used to being the only brown dot in my college class or a member of the only brown family in my suburban neighborhood. But in 2003, Brooklyn offered a misfit, bizarro-Berkeley energy that was perfect for this California transplant.
One of the best things about my borough is the festivals, and AfroPunk — a celebration of all things black, alternative and rock — has grown from filling the short blocks around the Brooklyn Academy of Music to taking over Commodore Barry Park with 20,000 people.
Created by James Spooner and Matthew Morgan in 2005, the festival has an ethos drawn from Spooner's 2003 guerrilla documentary entitled Afro-punk. The film depicts blacks who enjoy punk music but never totally felt a part of the punk culture because of their skin color and the larger white audience, but who remained more Bad Brains than 2 Chainz.
Spooner's cinematic work illuminated a niche movement and an idea. At AfroPunk, acts like Tamar Kali and Game Rebellion, along with the colorful crowd, created an accepting environment for black kids once ostracized for their mohawks, plaid pants and Doc Martens.
Scheduled this year for Aug. 24 and 25, the festival has welcomed TV on the Radio, Cerebral Ballzy, Janelle Monáe and Erykah Badu, to name a few artists, as well as an array of vendors selling everything from Black Flag pins to "I Love My Hair" T-shirts.
Last summer Badu headlined, and although her set began an hour or so behind, Commodore Barry Park remained packed, and the audience was so busy socializing, the delay became an impromptu family reunion where folks greeted friends they hadn't seen since winter's end.
In addition to the music, there is a sports side to AfroPunk. Skaters and BMX bikers brought their gear and rode courses erected for friendly competition. Fans watched and cheered for their friends and favorite athletes. And as attendees took over social media, sharing their AfroPunk experiences, the Seattle alternative-soul duo THEESatisfaction even tweeted their jealousy that they couldn't attend, because the festival's energy is so kinetic and singular.
If you visit Fort Greene for AfroPunk, be sure to stroll around the neighborhood between acts. Try people-watching at the Latin microrestaurant-cum-hangout Habana Outpost (757 Fulton St.) or the South African restaurant Madiba (195 DeKalb Ave.). If you and your group enjoy art, walk over to the MoCADA Museum (the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts; 80 Hanson Place) and check out the latest exhibit. And if you'd simply like to sit back and enjoy a gorgeous view, grab a bench at Brooklyn Bridge Park (334 Furman St.), where Manhattan's skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge compete for best looker of the night.
As a longtime festival attendee, I can say that, even as the audience size swells each year and people start to complain, AfroPunk continues to be a fantastic reflection of why I love New York. The annual two-day event provides an all-inclusive cultural diversity that says, "Give us your leather jackets, studded nose rings, shredded jean shorts and P.M. Dawn look-alikes! You're all welcome."

Put simply, ErectaStep wasn't selling.
The Andrews company's salesmen would describe how their industrial platforms, stairs and ladders offered safe passage over conveyer belts or pipes. They would point to diagrams on brochures to show prospective customers how the scheme might work in their factories.
But there was a visualization gap. The manufacturers couldn't quite picture it. And then there was the built-in lag time and margin of error associated with preparing a quote and filling the order — if things even got that far.
The executive team at ErectaStep's parent company, Georgetown-based Six Axis, sensed that gap meant misses that should have been closings. So they tasked Chief Information Officer Matt Carter with devising a software solution.
What Carter's team came up with in fall 2011 apparently did the trick — and a whole lot more.
The three-dimensional modeling and configuration tool allowed customers to map out exactly what they want. The salesman could then offer a quote immediately, because prices of all the materials were programmed in, and email it and all the diagrams to the customer.
And thanks to cloud computing, all the data from the salesman-customer interaction were immediately available back at ErectaStep headquarters, allowing managers there to track its activity in real time, not only to get the order together but to make bigger-picture, longer-term business decisions.
The investment paid for itself in just a month, and ErectaStep has experienced "explosive growth" ever since, Carter said.
Six Axis co-founders Rob Honeycutt and Fred Harmon, meanwhile, came to the realization that they had a new product that was totally different from the rest of their industrial safety equipment portfolio.
"The owners were reluctant to start a software business," Carter recalled. Then they had an epiphany: "We're entrepreneurs first."
But what to call it?
To hear Carter tell it, it was around the same time that Harmon, a history buff, saw a TV special on the "atlatl," an ancient hunting device that extended the human arm to hurl projectiles faster. He thought it an apt metaphor for his company's 21st-century accelerator.
"It just struck him," Carter said. "And he just made the connection."
After everyone had a chance to look it up — and learn to pronounce it (at-LAT-l) — they agreed. Carter described it as a "Nike moment," that is, when a little-known Greek goddess became a well-known sports brand.
"For us it was literally that kind of moment when we saw it," Carter said.
That was last summer. Atlatl software has since officially spun off and, in September, moved into a corner of architectural firm LS3P Associates Ltd.'s offices at King and Market streets in downtown Charleston.
Carter wouldn't release any specific financials or any details about the patents for which he's applied. But he said Atlatl is growing so fast he loses sleep over how to keep up with the delivery requirements "and keep up with my sales team." He said customers range from pressure valve and boat manufacturers to real estate developers and contractors.
They couldn't hire people fast enough in Charleston, so they opened a second office in Portland, Ore. There are about 30 Atlatl employees between the two offices, and Carter's looking to hire another 10, including HTML and Python developers, modelers and customer service people.
"We're struggling to get the staffing here that we want," Carter said during a recent visit to his office. "For every one applicant we get here, we get 10 there."
To keep up with the growth, the company has agreed to take over more of LS3P's top floor next month. Besides selling, Carter said Atlatl aims to become "one of the core cogs and drivers of the Charleston technology community."
Here's how Atlatl's sales resource planning software works:
The manufacturer gives Atlatl a bounty of information about its products, from prices to all the rules about how their dimensions and interoperability. The firm's modelers and animators then gin up a 3-D, on-screen, rotatable and changeable version of it and place it in the setting it might be used.
"There's an engine that underlies all of this that is our software," Carter explained. "The only custom work for the customer, or for us for the customer, is working on the rules."
The application can then be loaded onto an iPad and with so many finger swipes, a customer can configure the model or arrangement he needs.
Georgetown-based Screentight was an early adopter.
With an iPad in hand, Carter demonstrated how a homeowner or contractor can quickly configure a screen porch by selecting the number of walls, the size and location of the door, the materials. Minutes later, there on the screen was a mock-up of the porch.
"And voila, we have a solution," Carter said. "Seeing is believing."
Reached last week at Screentight's factory in Texas, Guerry Green, the owner and a friend of Honeycutt's, said Atlatl's both fun to play with and effective as a buying and selling tool.
"We have used other configurators, mostly in the store environment, but I'd say they're bland. They're certainly not three-dimensional, you can't use your imagination as much," Green said. "And the response that we've gotten over and over again is, 'How did this little small company in South Carolina come up with something that's more sophisticated than all these bigger guys everywhere else?'"
AutoDesk and its AutoCAD product are among Atlatl's bigger competitors.
Carter said the differentiator for Atlatl is that it's designed not for the engineer or skilled draftsman but rather for the nonsophisticated salesman and customer.
Then there's the back-end data.
Because Atlatl is software-as-a-service (hosted in remote servers and accessible from any device via the Internet), everything that happens on an iPad in the field is fed instantaneously into reports and graphs that give managers a faster, better understanding of what their teams are doing.
"They can begin to make fundamental business decisions," Todd Bida, vice president of corporate and business development, said, referring to ordering supplies or projecting financial results, "that they simply couldn't make before."
Before, that kind of information might only come after the salesman has had a chance to sit down and enter it into a program, perhaps as late as the end of the week.
"There has never been this type of efficiency in the data that is available and captured now organically through the sales process," he said.
On the most basic level, Carter and Bida said Atlatl, like any product or service, will be measured by its customers' return on their investment.
Bida said the ROI experienced at Six Axis and early customer companies was so "ridiculous" as to be "factual but noncredible."
"We literally had to dumb down the ROI calculator" on Atlatl's website, Carter said.
If they can keep up with themselves, the plan is to keep selling to manufacturing and industrial companies, including eventually cars if that industry is ready.
"We're just really excited about the future," Carter said.

Small Cool 2009: Sara's Starting Over Studio
Who Lives Here: Sara and Maddie (her Scottish Terrier)
Location: San Francisco, CA
Size: 283 square feet
What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home? Hmmm...I love it all, it has great character. Since I have to choose one element- I suppose the large windows, and the amount of sunlight they permit, would win out. It makes the space feel so much larger, even serene.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? Starting over was a challenge. I moved to San Francisco from the midwest about a year ago, bringing only clothes + shoes, my dog, and a few other miscellaneous items/momentos including a lamp from my grandmother. Starting from scratch certainly made it much easier to fit my belongings into a tiny studio, but it didn't make it very home-like. I slowly acquired items (due to both lack of budget, and because I was searching for what I thought might be appropriate for the space and what appealed to me).
Interestingly enough, I didn't spend more than $50 for any single item. I frequented Craigslist, was given items, shopped at thrift stores, visited Ikea and a local handmade event, plus I totally lucked out at the DWR Warehouse Sale. I also made most of my artwork (still working on that actually).

Sun.5.SEP.2010 -- Looking Before We Leap
As we gear up for self-referential thought in autonomous robots, we want each robot AI Mind to be able to handle questions in three different formats, as exemplified by the following examples.
1. What do robots make?
2. What do robots do?
3. What are robots?
The questions listed above go from the very specific to the very general. The first question, "What do robots make?", is an example of the "what-do-X-VERB?" format, where the "verb" slot may be filled with any suitable verb, such as "think" or "need". We use the verb "make" here because it will allow the AI to recall a long list of the direct objects of the noun-verb combination, "robots make".
The second question is an example of the more
general "what-do-X-DO" format, where no particular verb is
supplied and the AI Mind is free to come up with a long
list of verbs +/- objects that would complete a thought
beginning with "robots" as a subject.
The third sentence, "What are robots?", is included
here only for completeness in the consideration of
questions that intelligent robots might be called upon to
answer. We are concerned today with the answering of "what-
do-X-VERB" and "what-do-X-DO" questions. It may seem to
the casual peruser of these AI Lab Notes that such
questions are ridiculously simple and should present no
difficulty at all to any True AI worthy of the name, but a
reality check is in order here because how a software
program deals intelligently with such simple questions is
itself a profound question requiring devilishly deep
thought to answer. And if you did not smile at the mention
deep thought in the previous sentence, then you have
no business here and you are really Joe Sixpack, not Joe
Now excuse us for a moment, because we have had to
respond urgently to the travails of some young graduate
student who has become lost on the Web and needs the help
of a webfooted wizard at the prestigious AI Forum. We found what he
was looking for, and the guy was beside himself with
astonishment and thanks. In order to wring the last drop
of memetic advantage out of the rescue-episode, we propose
to follow up with the following tongue-in-cheek
It's so outstanding to hear from you again,
young coderpup.
How totally bodacious for you to do work on neural nets.
Bright and shining your future must be,
for you stick with your awesome goals and
fail-or-no-fail you care not.
To answer your further questions ready am I.
Just ask the Old AI Dude when the going gets ungoogly.
Sun.5.SEP.2010 -- Natura Non Facit
When we ask the AI, "What do robots make?", the responses could include cars, tools, parts, and even more robots. We need to change the AI Mindgrid in such a way that the AI will be able to make statement after statement until the possible answers have been exhausted in the knowledge base (KB). Somehow we need a way to make each succeeding answer drop out of the queue, so that the next answer may surface in consciousness. We may need to create an InHibit mind- module that will lower the activation on a particular node on the quasi-fiber of the verb (such as "make") figuring in the responses to the query.
Suddenly we see a way to achieve our goal of enabling
multiple answers to a what-do-X-VERB query. It will
involve radical changes perhaps not to the underlying
MindGrid, but certainly to several mind-modules
operating across the
At the heart of the solution is the brand-new idea
that, during a query-response, after a verb-node wins
selection into a thought, the entire verb-concept shall
not be
psi-damped down to zero, but rather only the selection-
winning node shall be inhibited down to a negative level
of activation, such as minus-fifteen or lower.
Furthermore, the
PsiDecay module shall be made to work in two
directions, both downwards towards zero and upwards
towards zero, so that any inhibited node shall gradually
lose its inhibition. Mind-modules that try to zero out an
entire range of concepts, shall be rewritten ("Get me Re-
Write!") to zero out only positive activations on
concepts, and to leave negative activations alone. At the
same time as all these changes are in effect, the subject
of the query shall have a special status of persistence,
so that the AI shall try to issue a series of statements
about the subject in combination with the query-verb,
until all pertinent nodes on the query-verb have been
knocked down into a sub-zero inhibition. At that point,
any thought beginning with the query-subject will surely
fail to connect with the query-verb, and may or may not
find a different verb for the generation of a KB-valid
sentence. We may let the special status of the query-
subject persist only so long as valid thoughts emerge in
connection (in synergy) with the query-verb, with a
release-mechanism to dislodge the subject from its special
status when the knowledge base has been exhausted.
The beauty of inhibiting serial same-verb nodes down to
a definitely negative level of activation lies in the
realization that the sentence-generation process will
continue to work the old-fashioned way. The
VerbPhrase module will flush out the next same-verb
node to win thought-selection, oblivious to the fact that
one node is now out of commission at a deep level (deep
unthought) of negative activation. There is some elegance
to a solution in which you change one phenomenon (the post-
selection activation-level) while everything else still
works in the same old way. It is like evolution, which
does not make massive saltations all at once, but only
makes one tiny mutation at a time.

If you thought any of Miley Cyrus's antics were crazy before, you might say she's officially gone bananas.
Less than a month after her scandalous performance at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, the recently single "Wrecking Ball" singer, 20, Tweeted out a new image showing off her wild side – with a monkey.
"#Twerkinwithadayummonkeyonmyback," she captioned the photo, which shows the immaculately dressed critter (and scantily clad Cyrus) getting down in Las Vegas (where she returned to the stage last weekend for the first time since calling off her engagement to Liam Hemsworth).
Cyrus also posted several other photos with the monkey, a kangaroo and another unidentified furry monster.
And that's not the only eyebrow-raising photo of Cyrus making the rounds: She also let her tongue hang out on the latest cover of Rolling Stone.

Great news.
Phil Jackson is writing another book, "Eleven Rings," but it's not scheduled to be published until next year, so there's plenty of time to change the title.
And more great news as well for Devin Ebanks, who might be out celebrating for all we know.
He gets arrested early Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, it becomes public a few hours later but is lost moments later with the hullabaloo surrounding the dismissal of Lakers Coach Mike Brown.
Maybe some others are troubled over the timing of Brown's departure, but I can't imagine Ebanks objecting.
As for everyone else, the Lakers being the championship Lakers and the most highly regarded franchise in town, how can there be any disagreement?

Jacqueline Lou Heeter Xaver
Jacqueline Lou Heeter Xaver
July 2, 1931-Nov. 16, 2012
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Jacqueline Lou Heeter Xaver passed away Nov. 16, 2012. Her husband of 62 years, Gerald Xaver, held her hand while all their seven children gathered, prayed, and held vigil together.
At her side were daughters Kathleen Therese Xaver McParland (Charles) of Tega Cay, S.C., Ruth Anne Xaver Martin (James) of St. Louis Mo., Nancy Joan Xaver Silvers (John) of Indian Harbour Beach, Fla., Sharon Lou Xaver Guess of Chapin, S.C., and Carol Marie Xaver Modlin (Tiny) of Niles, Mich.; sons Richard Frederick Xaver (Penelope Cole) of Mishawaka, and Steven Joseph Xaver (Pamela) of Toledo, Ohio.
Jacqueline Lou Heeter was born July 2, 1931, in Plymouth, to Ruth Steele and Frederick Heeter. June 23, 1951, she married Gerald Edward Xaver. After beginning her professional career as the society editor at the Plymouth Pilot newspaper, Jackie went on to a career in real estate and mortgage finance. Jackie worked as a real estate closing agent at Portage Realty and as a loan officer at Waterfield Mortgage, as well as St. Joseph Bank of South Bend. Many young families in the South Bend area were able to achieve home ownership through the diligence and hard work of Jackie Xaver, who managed their mortgage applications through the often difficult process.
Her only brother, Frederick Steele Heeter, preceded her in death.
In 2001, Jackie and husband Gerry retired and moved to Greenville S.C. There they could appreciate the full extent of love in the family they nurtured: granddaughters Meghan Weir of Tega Cay, S.C.; Erin Lewis of Boulder, Colo.; Katie Kaufman of Lexington, Ky.; Jessica Orr, of Lexington, Ky.; Jessica Shatto of St. Louis, Mo.; Rebecca Martin of Calistoga, Calif.; and Elizabeth Decker, of St. Louis, Mo.; Stephanie Peterson of Charlotte, N.C.; Savannah Rae Xaver & Vanessa Rae Xaver both of Toledo, Ohio; Nichole Luckie of Lexington, S.C.; Amanda Guess of Charlotte, N.C.; Sarah Guess of Raleigh, N.C.; Hannah Guess of Chapin, S.C.; and Amie Rogers of Greenville, S.C. Her grandsons — Chris Martin of St. Charles, Mo.; Ryan Peterson of Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Michael Rogers of Niles, Mich.; Sean Rogers of South Bend; and Kyle Wagner of Niles, Mich. Together, Jackie and Gerry's family includes their seven children, 20 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren.
Private services will be held by the family. Memorial contributions may be made to Interim Healthcare Hospice, 16 Hyland Rd., Greenville, SC 29615 or The American Heart Association, P.O. Box 5216 Glen Allen, VA 23058-5216.

Turns out Microsoft Corp.'s radical overhaul of its Windows operating system last month wasn't the only big change in store for the company.
The abrupt departure of Steven Sinofsky, president of Windows and Windows Live, is being called poor timing for the tech behemoth. It's also seen as a sign that longtime Chief Executive Steve Ballmer has no plans to step down anytime soon.
Sinofsky's exit, just weeks after the company rolled out the Windows 8 operating system, "doesn't necessarily reflect well on the company," said Kirk Materne, managing director at Evercore Partners.
"I think if you're Steve, having this happen right after creates a level of distraction that you don't want in the first place," he said. "It's never great when you've had this much turnover at the senior level of a company that is really trying to gain its footing in markets like tablet and mobile."

Stalley's 5 Summer Fashion Essentials
When it comes to style, blue collar isn't exactly the best term to describe Stalley.
Although, he admits to being inspired by the working class — "sneakerhead" is a bit more appropriate, since the "Swangin" rapper makes countless cameos across the internet daily, just for lacing up his favorite unreleased shoes. Recently, the Time Out NYfeatured him as one of the most stylish New Yorkers, validating the Brooklyn resident's superb knack for suiting up. VIBE caught up with Stalley to find out what every self made individual must-have this summer.

Bodyboarders who can not get a female mate. They find their pleasure in spooning other male spongers. They also like to take pictures of themselves and say they just landed a trick, but saying the camera was too slow to get it, hence, the added word poon
Dustin and Brandon are sponging poons, after an exhausting day of kicking their fins and bitching about girls beating them, they go home to undress and spoon in the bed, often watching Queer Eye For The Straight Guy.

SSA first included the listings in its regulations in 1968 to help expedite the processing of disability claims under the Disability Insurance program. The listings have also been used for the Supplemental Security Income program since it began in 1974. The listings for each body system describe impairments that are considered severe enough to prevent an adult from doing any gainful activity or to cause marked and severe functional limitations in a child younger than 18 years old. Most of the listed impairments are permanent or expected to result in death; however, some include a specific statement of duration. For all others, the evidence must show the impairment has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months.
The listings are organized by major body systems - 14 for adults and 15 for children, although adult criteria can be applied to children if the disease processes have a similar effect on adults and children. Altogether, SSA has over 100 listed impairments.
The listings help ensure disability determinations have a sound medical basis, claimants receive equal treatment based on specific criteria, and disabled individuals can be readily identified and awarded benefits if appropriate. All disability claimants who are not performing substantial gainful activity and have severe impairments are screened against the listings to quickly identify individuals who clearly meet the definition of disability. If the claim is not allowed based solely on the medical evidence, then the agency determines whether the claimant can do his or her past work. If the claimant cannot do his or her past work, the agency makes a disability determination based on the claimant's abilities, age, education and vocational history. Quick identification of cases in which the agency can make a favorable determination allows SSA to avoid time-consuming and resource-intensive inquiries into all of the facts of many cases.
From 1968 to the mid-1980s, SSA revised the listings for various reasons by adding or deleting information/criteria as necessary. The last comprehensive update of the listings was made in 1985, when expiration dates ranging from 3 to 8 years were inserted for listing sections. SSA stated that expiration dates were necessary to ensure the Agency periodically reviews (and, if necessary, updates) the listings to consider medical advances in the treatment and evaluation of disabilities and program experience.
SSA'S New Process for Updating the Medical Listings
In 2003, SSA implemented a new process for revising the listings. This new process was designed to ensure there are continuous updates and monitoring of the listings about every 3 to 4 years. Under this new process, the agency conducts a review within 1 year of the newly published listing and determines whether an action is necessary - such as training, formal instructions, or a new regulation. If no action is needed, SSA will continue to monitor the listing, conduct another review 4 years before the expiration date of the listing and begin the process of updating the listing.
Under this new model, SSA has incorporated a feedback loop to allow for increased input. After a regulation is published, SSA solicits questions from agency components and performs internal and external studies 1 year after the listing is published. SSA solicits questions from agency components and looks at cases to see how adjudicators are applying the new listing. An Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) may be published in the Federal Register. The agency solicits comments regarding the ANPRM through outreach efforts to medical experts, advocacy groups, patients, and adjudicators and receives input from SSA Regional staff and Medical Specialists. SSA develops the proposed listing and the Office of Management and Budget reviews the draft notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). SSA then publishes a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and again seeks input before publishing the final regulation.
In 2004, SSA awarded a contract to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), seeking advice on improving the listings. The IOM recommended that SSA increase the value and utility of the listings by examining and monitoring their performance, evaluating and improving their effectiveness in expediting awards in obvious cases, and making timely changes in response to these evaluations.
In October 2008, SSA contracted with the IOM to establish a Standing Committee of medical experts to advise the agency in keeping the listings up to date. In FY 2009, the Standing Committee--consisting of approximately 15 members--began serving a 3-year term to survey literature, look for ideas to improve the listings, hold meetings, and organize workgroups and public sessions. Subsequently, the Standing Committee formed two Consensus Study Committees to research and survey literature to look for ideas to improve the Cardiovascular and Immune (specifically HIV) body systems. In August 2010, SSA received IOM Consensus Committee reports that included recommendations for updating and revising the Cardiovascular and Immune (HIV) body systems for which work is already underway.

Piracy is a big problem for large software
vendors licensors like Microsoft. As such, the Redmond giant is undertaking several anti-piracy efforts all over the world, and, of course, it attempts to make its software harder to crack through activation and validation. As The New York Times has discovered, however, the prevalence of pirated Microsoft software in Russia is giving the Russian authorities a pretence to raid the offices of outspoken advocacy groups or opposition media - supported by Microsoft lawyers. Update: Microsoft responds with a blog post that says all the right things, including "Microsoft will create a new unilateral software license for NGOs that will ensure they have free, legal copies of our products."

RE: You can't expect much from Microsoft lawyers
by Moredhas on Sun 12th Sep 2010 22:27 UTC in reply to "You can't expect much from Microsoft lawyers"
It would make great publicity for Microsoft to come out on the side of Good for once. Make an example of legal software owners, show the world it's better to buy than to pirate because of the protections you are afforded. The message this sends is that the environmental group might as well have pirated Windows and Office for all the difference it makes. Since everyone pirates Windows, obviously every Windows user is a pirate.

The Supreme Court Breakfast Table
Dear Linda, Emily, and Walter:
This year's Breakfast Table has stretched on improbably past lunch, over dinner, and could surely go on through a hearty midnight snack. There's a good deal we haven't even touched on here this week and a good deal we'll wish we'd thought to write as we reread these decisions in the coming days. It's always an honor and a pleasure to have such expert (and speedy) guidance and insight in these last few days of the court's term.
Thank you for spending your week with us. See you at Judge Sotomayor's hearings next month.

Canadian Court Rules That Linking To Defamatory Articles Isn't Defamatory
from the victory-for-free-speech-online dept
In one case, Crookes sued the website P2PNet for just linking to the material that Crookes found libelous. It seemed like a huge stretch to say that merely linking to content (even if you grant that it was libelous) is also libel. And, the good news is that a court has now agreed. It has sided with Jon Newton, the operator of P2PNet in noting that simply linking to libelous material is not, in itself, libelous. The ruling does note that if the link text had been libelous, that might be a different story -- but just linking to the text as part of a discussion about the lawsuits is hardly libelous. This is definitely a huge win for free speech in Canada -- though, Canada could take a big step forward in updating its defamation laws to make it clear that the liability for libel should be on those who actually were libelous, rather than those who host it or point to it.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - New England Revolution midfielder Kelyn Rowe was voted Major League Soccer's player of the week for Week 25 following his two-goal performance in the Revolution's 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union at Gillette Stadium yesterday. The Major League Soccer player of the week is selected each week by a panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR).
Rowe scored two goals in an MLS game for the first time in his career, striking two long-distance goals on Sunday. His first, coming in the 26th minute, came off a leading pass from Chad Barrett on the run. Rowe ripped a 24-yard shot low to the side netting of the far post past Union keeper Zac MacMath to give the Revs a 1-0 lead. | WATCH THE GOAL
Rowe added his second – this time from 30 yards – in the 65th minute when he took a square pass from Dimitry Imbongo and let rip a shot that started left and bent right into the upper right corner past a diving MacMath. That goal put the Revs up 3-1 on the way to the final 5-1 score line. | WATCH THE GOAL
His second goal is also one of five nominees for MLS goal of the week. Voting is open until 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, Aug. 29. Fans can vote for Rowe's goal online at mlssoccer.com through 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, or by texting G5 to 22442.
Rowe's player of the week nod is his first in MLS, and the Revolution's second of the 2013 season. Diego Fagundez earned player of the week honors in Week 14 for a two-goal, one-assist effort in a 5-0 win over LA.
The Revolution returns to action on Friday, Aug. 30, when the team travels to face Toronto FC at BMO Field. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. The match will be televised by Comcast SportsNet and carried on the radio by 98.5 The Sports Hub.

FITCHBURG — When the mother of a missing 5-year-old boy was ordered Tuesday afternoon to undergo a mental health evaluation, the child's uncle stormed out of the courtroom screaming and cursing.
"Where is my nephew?" Sandrino Oliver demanded to anyone who would listen. "Where is he?"
Mr. Oliver's nephew, Jeremiah Oliver, was last seen by some family members in September. His disappearance is being investigated as a possible homicide, according to the Worcester district attorney.
While Sandrino Oliver was demanding to know where his nephew was, family members who joined him outside Fitchburg District Court were calmer but said they were equally upset because Elsa Oliver has not told police where her son is. Police only found out Friday that the child was missing.
"They're going to put her in mental health evaluation, but where is the child?" asked Jeremiah's aunt Luz Oliver of Worcester.
"I'm worried about my little cousin," added Sandro Oliver. "I want my little cousin to come home."
Family members waited several hours Tuesday for the child's mother to appear in court to be arraigned on two charges of reckless endangerment of a child and two counts of being an accessory after the fact of a felony (assault and battery with a dangerous weapon).
While the family was in court, the state Department of Children and Families announced it had fired a social worker and a supervisor for failing to verify a report made in June by the child's day care that Elsa Oliver had said it was Jeremiah's last day and that he would be leaving for Florida to live with his grandmother. The department had investigated abuse in the Oliver household after it was reported to school officials.
The department has since learned that this information was not appropriately verified by the social worker, who also failed to conduct monthly home visits, as required by department policy. As a result, after both employees were fired, a review of their cases has been initiated.
Service Employees International Union Local 509, which represents caseworkers at DCF, issued a statement Tuesday after the firings. Union spokesman Jason Stephany said, "We are disappointed that Commissioner (Olga) Roche is more interested in finger-pointing than accepting responsibility for yet another tragedy on her watch.
"The sad truth is that caseloads at the Department of Children & Families have long stood at crisis levels, yet Commissioner Roche has done little to address them. Instead, the Commissioner has chosen a convenient scapegoat to deflect blame from department administrators – terminating caseworkers without any formal investigation, whatsoever."
He added, "But without immediate action to address the Commissioner's caseload crisis, it is only a matter of time before another tragedy occurs."
Before the arraignment Tuesday afternoon, Elsa Oliver appeared with court officers outside the courtroom but balked when she was told to enter. Her lawyer, James Gavin Reardon Jr. of Shrewsbury, went out to talk to her and she eventually entered the courtroom.
Before the arraignment, a hearing was held to determine if Ms. Oliver, 28, of 276 Kimball St. should be required to appear in court during the arraignment. Mr. Reardon argued that there were safety concerns and the possibility of retaliation against her. Assistant District Attorney Cheryl O'Connell-Riddle disagreed that there were safety concerns and said it was important that Ms. Oliver appear in court.
"I believe the community has the right to see the defendant," she said.
Judge Mandell ruled in favor of the prosecution.
After Ms. Oliver entered the court, she was arraigned on the four charges and also a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a belt. The arraignment was delayed for hours while a court clinician, Dr. Hanya H. Bluestone, a psychiatrist, evaluated her for competency to stand trial.
Ms. Bluestone told the court she found Ms. Oliver to be very suspicious and guarded and her mood irritable and angry.
"She is fearful she would be poisoned and indicated recently she was poisoned," she said. "She may have a substantial disorder of mood and thought."
The competency hearing was requested because Mr. Reardon said that although he had extensive contact with his client, she is almost completely uncooperative.
"I have significant concerns about her," he said.
Mr. Reardon said he has concerns about her safety and her competency because he does not know what is going on with her.
"I've had minimal communication with her," he said.
Relatives of the child were not buying that she has mental health issues. Jeremiah's aunt Rose Valcourt of Worcester said Elsa Oliver is significantly different than the last time she saw her, but she thinks the mental health issues are an act.
"She's probably playing stupid and trying to get through the cracks in the system," she said.
Judge Mandell ordered Ms. Oliver sent to the Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital for evaluation both for mental health and physical health. She is being held without bail while she is being evaluated. She is due back in Fitchburg District Court on Dec. 24.
Ms. Oliver's boyfriend, Alberto L. Sierra, 22, of 164 Meadowbrook Lane, was arraigned Monday on two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a knife) and two counts of assault and battery on a child causing bodily injury. He is being held without bail in the Worcester County Jail in West Boylston.
Mr. Sierra is accused of attacking Jeremiah and one of his young siblings with a knife, according to Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr., while Ms. Oliver was charged as an accessory after the fact to the attacks. Mr. Sierra is due back in court Thursday for a dangerousness hearing.
Documents in Fitchburg District Court indicate Mr. Sierra is alleged to have physically abused Ms. Oliver in front of the children. On Friday, Ms. Oliver appeared at court for a care and protection hearing but refused to cooperate and "fled the courthouse," according to court records.
Mr. Early said state and Fitchburg police went to the Oliver home Friday with a search warrant after hearing from Reingold Elementary School nurse Helen Tisdale about concerns that school personnel had about abuse in the home.
Mr. Early said he could not say why it took so long for police to be notified of the child's disappearance. Mr. Early's spokesman, Timothy Connolly, said Jeremiah's 8-year-old sister had brought the situation to the school's attention and also told school officials she suffered abuse. The girl and her older brother have since been taken into the care of the state Department of Child and Families.
A judge ordered Ms. Oliver to produce her missing son to the court, Mr. Early said. As of Tuesday evening, she had failed to do so. A hearing was also held Tuesday afternoon in Fitchburg Juvenile Court to address the order that the child be produced. The hearing was held in a closed session and neither Mr. Reardon nor anyone from the district attorney's office would comment about the outcome.
The results of Friday's search at the Oliver home were not available in court Tuesday. The district attorney's office would not comment about what was found during the search of the home, but neighbors said they saw police removing black trash bags from the apartment on Friday.
Police are asking for the public's help in finding the missing child.
The boy is about 40 inches tall and weighs about 40 pounds. He has brown eyes and brown hair.
Anyone with information about where he is or what happened to him is asked to call the state police detectives assigned to Mr. Early's office at (508) 832-9124 or Fitchburg police at (978) 345-9648.

For Green Bay Packers newcomer Erik Walden, it was just like old times on Sunday.
The unheralded Walden, making just his second NFL start, helped spark another big defensive effort by the Packers as they clinched a playoff berth with a 10-3 win over Chicago.
Walden had two of Green Bay's six sacks of Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.
"It felt good because I hit him a couple times in college," Walden said.

Brosnan: My Bond wasn't good enough
Pierce Brosnan has confessed he was "never good enough" as James Bond.
The Irish actor played the secret agent in four films from 1995 to 2002 - GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day - but admitted to the Telegraph that he doesn't think his turn as 007 was up to scratch and that he can't even bring himself to watch his films.
"I felt I was caught in a time warp between Roger (Moore) and Sean (Connery)," he said.
"It was a very hard one to grasp the meaning of, for me. The violence was never real, the brute force of the man was never palpable. It was quite tame, and the characterisation didn't have a follow-through of reality, it was surface.
"But then that might have had to do with my own insecurities in playing him as well."
Asked if he ever watches his outings as the suave spy, Pierce said: "I have no desire to watch myself as James Bond. 'Cause it's just never good enough."
"It's a horrible feeling," he added.
However, the 60-year-old admitted that being 007, who is now played by Daniel Craig, had a good impact on his career.
"It's the gift that keeps on giving, that allowed me to create my own production company and make my own movies," he explained.

"Miss Monochrome" is an original character design from seiyuu Horie Yui. In March 2012, she first used the "Miss Monochrome" character as a 3D virtual singer to sing her songs at her concert "Horie Yui wo Meguru Bouken III ~Secret Mission Tour~". Later, the character appeared in a range of merchandise as well as in the social network game "Girlfriend (Beta)".
According to the setting, Miss Monochrome loves only the monochrome style, dislikes all kinds of color, and always dreams about changing the world into her favorite monochrome color.

First Impressions
4 minute episode? i think this is fun to watch, Miss Monochrome looks like Prototype version of Yowane Haku.
Monochrome`s robotic voice is kinda cute, damn it Mana! why did she stole her 19 billion yen, how greedy she is.
I hope Miss Monochrome will become an Idol again.
The CG ED is kinda a little creepy.
I`m leaving Crunchyroll today.
What is this silly circular robotic thing? Looks like a Frisbee.
Anyway, looks alright.
No measure of time with you will be long enough, but let's start with forever~

never heard of a roomba?
anyway, cute episode but I doubt I'll watch more. I'm not a big fan of shorts.
glass, once broken, can never be restored perfectly
First episode was entertaining for being a short. I'll watch this for sure.
My ex had a Roomba. they're cute n stuff.
Note: You are banned until 2014-10-22 09:34:31 (PST)
I like the character designs and animation. Damn that Mana, I didn't see stealing Miss Monochrome's fortune coming....
Also, I really liked the ED animation and song. I'm usually not one to listen to Vocaloid-style songs, but it was so catchy. I've always loved Yui Horie's voice, too.
I have no idea where this series is going, but I'll stick with it.
Clearly, I don't know what I'm doing.

Oh, that's a vacuum robot! I see now, thanks

Dat ED song.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
Just watched it...didn't think i would continue after this but i want to see a bit more.
That ED was weird as hell. I just looked away.
Fun fact: Yui Horie sang Toradora's 1st ED "Vanilla Salt"
Did he just walk up...slowly...and ban me? @GoldTStar117
I didn't find the first episode to be very good, but I'm willing to give it a chance. On the other hand, the ED was rather impressive.
Cute and funny, really enjoyed it! Roomba, con loli, ED!
It was quite surprising. The loli that was saved by her took her 19 billion >.> not many things surprise me anymore but i was taken in by this one... ill continue watching it since recorder finished ;-;
Right now, obeying my limits as a human being.
I have nothing new to say. Was surprised by the theft, enjoyed the Roomba and the ED. As it's just 4-minutes there's really no good reason not to keep watching this.
First time I've ever watched an anime short. I guess one good gag in 4 minutes isn't too bad.
Greedy little...
As for the ED, I thought it was okay. I don't really like Vocaloids as a genre; the specific song has to stand out and the ED song...it's eh for now. Maybe it'll grow on me, although the fact that it takes up almost 1/4 of the show is a little disconcerting.
Weekly posts on the season's best anime! (http://mageinabarrel.com)
Not a fan of anime shorts, but I do like Horie, so this is all right.
As long as there is a Jojo in the world, anime shall never die.
Found her character very cute and the premise of the anime was enjoyable so I'm going to keep watching.

Divorce is a tricky minefield for all kids — including Isabella and Connor Cruise, who were just 8 and 6 years old, respectively, when their world-famous parents Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced in 2001 after 11 years together.
Maureen Orth's investigative cover story in the new Vanity Fair alleges, among other things, that members of Cruise's Church of Scientology turned the young kids against their mom, now 45, following the split.
"The central problem [in the marriage] was Nicole did not want to deal with Scientology," former high-ranking Scientologist Marty Rathbun claims to the magazine. After Kidman left the marriage and the Church, she was labeled a Suppressive Person — a spiritually toxic person to be avoided — with members of the Church quietly instilling this idea into the kids, sources claimed to Vanity Fair.
"They rejected Nicole — they've been instructed," says John Brousseau, who was a Scientologist for 32 years and formerly the bodyguard and brother-in-law to church leader David Miscavige.
Bella and Connor were home schooled, and allegedly accompanied their movie star father, now 50, on auditing sessions, and were taught how to recognize an "S.P.," Rathbun and Brousseau both tell VF.
"They took a course, P.T.S./S.P., Potential Trouble Source/Suppressive Person, for persons connected in their lives who are an S.P.," Brousseau claims. "[Bella and Connor] whispered to me, 'J.B., Nicole is an S.P.! Our mom's an S.P. — we hate going and seeing her.'"
Sources also claim in Orth's story that Kidman was so ostracized within the Scientology community that Church members were even urged to avoid her films.
"The Scientology world hated Nicole," Brousseau, who left the Church in 2010, says. "People in Sea Org were mandated to see every freaking Tom Cruise movie that came out. But if you ever mentioned an inkling to see a movie with Nicole, oh my God, you'd hear about it."
The Church of Scientology denied to Vanity Fair that Kidman was considered a Suppressive Person, or that Bella and Connor took a course on how to identify Suppressive persons.
In a later statement, the Church of Scientology roundly dismissed Orth's story, which centers around actress and former church member Nazanin Boniadi, who was allegedly audited to date Cruise and then punished by the organization for her behavior during and after the relationship. "The entire story is hogwash," the Church said.
Cruise and third wife Katie Holmes finalized their divorce last month.

Voters said yes to a new middle school by a nearly 2-1 margin at Tuesday�s annual town election, according to preliminary results released by Town Clerk Ellen C. Gaboury.
Voters also re-elected incumbent Selectman Stephen R. Simonian, but replaced incumbent Housing Authority member Betty A. Bacinskas with challenger Wayne C. Page of 90 Old Common Road.
The preliminary vote to approve a debt exclusion to fund a new $44.5 million middle school on West Street was 1,343 to 722.
School Superintendent Maryellen Brunelle said, �On behalf of the students of Auburn, I thank the voters for their approval of this state-of-the-art facility, in which our students will be able to thrive for years to come.�
Mark W. Imse, chairman of the School Building Committee, said, �Now, we can get started!�
Mr. Simonian, who won his second three-year term over challenger Thomas M. Dombroski by a vote of 1,045 to 943, said, �Three years ago, no one knew me. This time, I had a record, and they still picked me. It�s a little bit nicer.� He said that three years ago, his top priority was funding road repairs, which are now well under way. �This time, people mentioned their tax bills most. They have to live within their budgets; it�s time the town did the same.�
Mr. Page, who won by a vote of 1,051 to 909, thanked the voters and said, �My top priority has always been to do what�s best for the residents. As a member of the housing authority, our residents will still be my top priority.�
Running unopposed were: Charles A. Baker for town moderator, Jeffrey A. Lourie for School Committee, Roberta M. Baker and Paula M. Melican for library trustee, and Jack Haroian for Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational School Committee.
Ms. Gaboury said approximately 17 percent of the town�s 11,541 eligible registered voters participated in the election.

Most maps have designated areas where different classes of vehicles usually go to. For example, in Ruinberg, heavies usually brawl in the city in the west while mediums, lights and tank destroyers take the field and town in the east. Of course, this is just a generalization. You will have tank destroyers in the city and heavies in the field. Nobody forces you to follow the rest, but sometimes you can be chewed out for making stupid moves and costing the team as a result. Basically, my point is that you don't always have to engage heavies as much as you do other types of tanks.
And flanking can be fun as hell if you pull it off successfully. Even an IS or T29 (tier 7 heavies) will be penned, for damage, by your Panzer IV or M4 Sherman (tier 5 mediums) from the sides or back. It won't blast away half their HP, but the seemingly anemic damage could be crucial for your allies to take out the enemy in time. It can even distract the enemy enough for them to turn towards you, and you can just bolt away with your superior speed while your allies take the enemy down.
Heavy tanks have better armor and superior firepower in general. Yes, this makes them the definite winners in one-on-one static engagements with mediums or lights. Note how I said "static", by which I mean "not moving".
Heavy tanks have terrible camouflage, lower maneuverability, lower speed, and bigger profiles. It was a learning process for me when I started with heavies, played them like mediums or lights, and got spotted and killed easily at the start of the battle because of my low camo. The low speed makes you more prone to being hit by artillery, who will be after your butt anyway because you have a bigger gun and a larger HP pool. The large profile makes it harder to hide behind corners, rocks, or hills, which can be paramount to survival.
Sorry, but you can't just become king of the battlefield in a heavy tank. They have their own separate style of play which you'll have to learn and get good at.

I think the problem with Spectacular_Insanity is that he thinking this game is "Yes I am super expert player. I can Kill everyone with one Tank!!!!"
NOPE! even real "super expert player" cannot say that
This is team based game. not CoD! each tank have specific role. you dont just go there and kill everyone. some of them scout. other sniping. some flanking and other absorbing damage. You need to work together!

And of course, not all heavy tanks are equal. That Tiger gets an awesome gun once you get the 88mm L/71, but its hull is paper; the IS is more a medium tank with a big gun that needs to get close to the enemy to hit them; the T29 has a paper hull but has a good gun on an impenetrable gun mantle; the Black Prince has nice all around armor but is slow and has piss-poor firepower etc...
Just because you're a "Heavy" tank doesn't mean you're going to be owning in battles all the time. There have been many occasions in a heavy where my ass has been nailed by wolfpacks of medium and/or light tanks, and of course artillery. Only thing you get transferring to Heavies is that you play differently.

And I tend to prefer urban fighting rather than field fighting. When you're out in the open, it's a lot harder to angle correctly.

And if I'm going to keep using a medium tank, should I keep aiming for the Panzer/Panzer II, or go for the Indien-Pz. research line instead?

But maybe it's the Pz. III/IV. Do other med tanks have the trouble I'm having?
And speaking of mobility, if I'm supposed to be moving so much, shouldn't I switch to a light tank instead like the Pz. I C/Luchs? I've seen Pz. I C's do quite well even in T5 matches by harassing SPGs.

@Spectacular Insanity:
Oh man, you only have played 200 battles and you're already at tier 6? No wonder you are have having trouble. At 200 battles, I believe I was still working on tier 3. You shouldn't feel obligated to jump up a tier immediately. It's better to get comfortable with the lower tiers before working on tier 6. Find the tier 2 or 3 tank you can tolerate the most and do several dozen battles in it. Get antiquated with strategies in the lower tiers, because they just become more complex and unforgiving in higher tiers. This game doesn't get easier in higher tier vehicles; quite the contrary, actually.
And when you buy a tank, it's good to spend a few extra credits to get your crew at 75% from the start. The difference in performance in incredible. You will shoot faster and more accurately. You will accelerate faster and your turret will turn faster. Even your camouflage will be better.

since you still new. try to stay behind the line and provide necessary support. you still new. nobody become a hero in first 1000 game or so. learn how your teammates play (obviously a good one not a bad one)
you will loss a lot in first few game. that fine since
1) you still newbie
2) you tank is not fully upgraded along with the crew
for 1 you need to learn you self
for 2 you need to grind
keep playing with Pz3/4 until you fully upgraded. then you can move to T6. Keep Pz3/4 since you will start losing money on T6 whether you win or not. while in T5 you will gain money even if you lose (for most of the time)

Tier 5 is the best tier for training and money making (Even better if you are medium tank). I recommend you to spend your time in tier 5 tank about 400-500 games before moving to play tier 6. You will learn a lot of thing in tier 5 that is necessary in Tier6+ match.
Also, Tier6+ tank repairing and ammo cost are very expensive. Unless you do well, you will found that you loss money more than you can gain in each match.
So, get use to tier 5 tanks.You will have to come back to play them a lot in the future.

Spectacular Insanity: Each kind of unit has a specific role. For mediums at times it's as a mobile support, and even then depending on the tier and the Country this can vary too. For example, some tanks you pretty much HAVE to be a flanker to be useful (T-43 and Cromwell), while others long range sniping is the name of the game (the Panther comes to mind). In general though, Mediums aren't made for brawling (few mediums have the front armor needed for that); instead you support, and look for openings in the lines of the opposing team, then you punch through and outflank.
Oh, we had a productive set of games again with Sahin and Pen3. 13 games in a platoon, 9 wins over 3 losses, most of that at Tier 9. I used the T-54 (a good example of a fast medium that can fit in most roles, including dogfighting and outflanking) in most of that, then Sahin got tired of me heading ahead and asked me to use the E-75. Which I did fine with too.
Caps of the results of the matches to follow.
And yes, always keep a Tier 5 in handy. It's the point where you can still earn good money (unless you're a derp user heh). From Tier 6s and above, you can't do that with regularity, and once you hit Tier 9 you LOSE money even on a win.
EDIT: Promised Screenies!

Pen3: I'm not sure what's happening, but I'm still hemorrhaging silver, and barring one occasion during the platoon I only fired APCR once (when I went against the Type squad). Hmm, might have to hit the tier 5s for a while.
Oh, and ironically according to WoT Labs my 60-day Efficiency is actually getting lower DESPITE the damage done at the high tier games. Hmm.

Saving our Oceans.

Hi I am Saravady Ratha.
right now over 50% of life on our planet lives in the sea. and the sea is drying up, getting oil spilled in it. What will happen when the oceans are gone? Will we have water??
We need to stop the over fishing of our seas, and stop poisoning our water. It is one of the most forgotten places on our planet but, is the most important thing on earth! We humans can't live without it. Nothing on our earth can. It is essential for our survival.
Dr. Sylvia Earl and many others scientist believe there is hope for our oceans and so do I, but if we don't act now we may loose it forever.
Thank you
