GSK preaches Avandia safety to docs, forgoes new DTC
GlaxoSmithKline is stressing Avandia safety with doctors but has no plans for a DTC campaign to address concerns with the diabetes drug.
Reps for the drug marketer are focusing on A Diabetes Outcome Progression Trial (ADOPT). "We are reassuring physicians about the safety data we have, particularly looking at ADOPT," a GSK spokeswoman told The Wall Street Journal.
Last week Cleveland Clinic cardiologist Steven Nissen, writing in The New England Journal of Medicine, reported on an analysis he did that showed patients taking the drug have a 43% greater risk of heart attack than those using other diabetes drugs or no medication. GSK disagreed, saying other data on Avandia, including ADOPT data, show the drug increased heart attack risk but that the difference didn't achieve statistical significance, and that it told the FDA about it last year.
GSK's CEO also took up the cause last week. The Associated Press reported that Jean-Pierre Garnier acknowledged at a company shareholders meeting last Wednesday that sales of Avandia could fall and that it's too early to predict whether the drug will be the target of product liability lawsuits but said, "We expect that once the complete data set on Avandia becomes available, our product will be vindicated."
Nevertheless, some analysts have predicted Avandia sales could be cut in half, especially considering the sharp drop in GSK's stock price that followed the NEJM analysis.
While the spokeswoman said the company isn't planning consumer ads to defuse the Avandia situation, it won't rule them out, either. "At the moment, there is an information vacuum, and GSK may need to step into the void," she told the Journal.
Ads for Avandia have not appeared on US television in the past year, due to what the paper called a "short break" that happened to be in effect when the safety concerns broke but was unrelated.
Recent ads in consumer magazines and medical journals have touted Avandia's effectiveness. The company at one time also touted results of studies on the drug's potential cardiovascular benefits, including one that showed Avandia might improve markers tied to cardiovascular problems. But that ended after a GSK analysis turned up a finding similar to Dr. Nissen's. GSK says stronger evidence favoring Avandia's safety outweighs it, according to the WSJ.
Since last year, the Avandia label has reflected warning language saying patients with heart failure who took Avandia had a higher risk of cardiovascular events. But the GSK analysis showing potential heart attack risk hasn't been placed in the US label.
Avandia was approved in 1999 for treating Type 2 diabetes, which affects about 18 to 20 million Americans. GSK's Avandia/Avandamet franchise had global sales of $3.2 billion for 2006. An FDA panel is due to meet to examine safety data on Avandia, following the NEJM study.

What is a derating curve?
Latest Updated:12/01/2011
What is a derating curve?
Derating refers to thermal design in which the allowable power consumption is restricted according to the rise in the ambient temperature. A derating curve is a characteristics curve that indicates the total power dissipation (PT) vs. the ambient operating temperature (TA.)
When TA= +80°C in an 8-pin SOP (with PT = 440 mW and Rth (j - A) = 227°C/W @ TA = 25):
The characteristics for each package type are shown in the graphs below.
Remark If the diagonal lines of the derating curves are extended, the value at PT=0 is the maximum junction temperature (125°C in the case of operational amplifiers and comparators).

News Book Club for April: 'Below Stairs'
Maybe you've been watching "Downton Abbey" and you're curious to know more.
Maybe you're an Anglophile through and through.
Or maybe, just maybe, you've been doing some spring cleaning – and you wonder how anybody could possibly keep a house bigger than yours clean, all year 'round.
Have we got the book for you.
This April, just in time for spring yard and housekeeping duties and in the wake of the season finale to the popular TV program "Downton Abbey," the choice of The Buffalo News Book Club is a memoir of what it's like to work as a domestic servant in the great houses of England – by a woman who lived the life.
Our selection for the month is Margaret Powell's funny, perceptive – and completely memorable – memoir of her time as a kitchen maid and cook, "Below Stairs."
This book was a surprising hit with the public when it was first released in England in 1968. It became, in time, part of the inspiration for TV shows including "Downton Abbey" and "Upstairs, Downstairs."
Now, the 45-year-old memoir has been newly reissued in the United States.
Craving a peek behind the scenes, at English upper-class life, and the ways and woes of the servant class that silently peopled the halls of the rich and influential? This book is just your ticket.
"There's this whole sense of being thrust into a new world," said Michael Flamini, an executive editor at St. Martin's Press in New York City, who worked on bringing the Powell memoir to American audiences in a new edition. "I find that so interesting."
"I was absolutely captivated when I read 'Below Stairs,' " Flamini said. "I thought, 'Wow, people are really going to love this.' "
Powell died in 1984. She did not spend her entire life in service; she married a milkman, raised a family, and found a second life and career as a writer of popular books.
And yet, in many ways, Powell's own story remains as riveting as the humorous, poignant anecdotes of English upper-class life she recounts in "Below Stairs" (where you will learn, for instance, how a stove should be blacked and how brasswork should be polished, and what a "savoury" is, as well as when during a meal it should be served – and what a hapless cook can do, when she has thrown into the pigs' bucket the very kipper that the mistress suddenly wants served with the evening meal).
Born in 1907 to a working-class family in Hove, England, Powell did so well in school as a girl that she was offered a coveted scholarship to continue her education. She dreamed of becoming a teacher. But Powell's family could not afford the luxury of more schooling for her – she had six siblings, and her mother had to take work as a charwoman, while her father worked as a painter.
So Powell went out to work. She took her first job at age 13, as an attendant to older women who needed household help. Soon after, Powell got a job in a laundry.
Within a few years, at her mother's encouragement, she went into domestic service.
Powell started in service at just 15. At that age, and with no experience, she ended up as a kitchen maid – typically the lowest rank among servants. She was given a small, usually shared bedroom, as well as a list of daily duties that seemed overwhelming.
"When I looked at this list," Powell writes in "Below Stairs," "I thought they had made a mistake. I thought it was for six people to do."
She had to get up at 5:30 in the morning, light the fires and clean the flues, "blacklead" the grate (with a "hard old lump of blacklead"), clean all the fenders and fire-irons, clean the front door – especially the brass, which the mistress of the home was particular about – scrub the front steps, and clean all of the boots and shoes that would be needed by the "upstairs" members of the household. This task included, in at least one household, the step of taking out and ironing all the shoelaces and bootlaces in those shoes and boots.
And this was Powell's duty, before breakfast. After breakfast, the real work of the day started.
Flamini, the editor at St. Martin's, said that Powell's appeal lies in her clear and concise descriptions of her circumstances – she is honest about the good and the bad, equally.
"A huge part of this book's appeal is, it's the flip side of the 'Downton Abbey' story," said Flamini. "Margaret Powell never, ever says, 'Oh my employers are wonderful.' She sort of has this gimlet-eyed approach, like, 'I can play this game.'
"It's an interesting viewpoint on this, from someone in this culture."
Flamini said that the book has done well with American audiences as well as British ones, and is accessible to all – regardless of their knowledge of British society life in the 1920s and 1930s and onward – because of Powell's unassuming, forthright delivery.
"I wish I'd have known her," Flamini said. "I think she must have been a hoot. A hoot, raucous, but also a very hard worker. You get the feeling that Margaret Powell enjoyed her work, did it well.
"That's what's great about her."
The Buffalo News Book Club has a few copies of "Below Stairs" to give away to Book Club readers. To be considered for the books, write to the Book Club at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by U.S. mail at The Buffalo News – Book Club, One News Plaza, P.O. Box 100, Buffalo, NY 14240.
More Powell titles
If you love Margaret Powell's take on life as a domestic servant in "Below Stairs," you'll be thrilled to learn that more of Powell's writing is now available.
Here are two other titles by the late British author that were recently published in the United States:
1. "Margaret Powell's Cookery Book: 500 Upstairs Recipes from Everyone's Favorite Downstairs Kitchen Maid and Cook," from St. Martin's Press, $25, 332-page hardcover.
In a wholly different vein, this "Cookery Book" by Powell presents recipes and cooking tips gleaned from Powell's years of service to families of wealth and status in Britain. From "Goose a la Provence" and black butter sauce to charlotte russe and sand cake, you may not end up cooking like Powell – but you'll sure get a glimpse of the culinary world she occupied. This book is intermixed with some of Powell's reminiscences on her life as a domestic, including many years as a "plain cook" in the houses of England.
2. "Servants' Hall: A Real Life Upstairs, Downstairs Romance," from St. Martin's Press, $23, 184-page hardcover.
In this nonfiction tale, Powell returns to the subject of her days working as a domestic servant for the upper classes of English society. Here, we see one of the episodes she witnessed firsthand while in service. Powell tells the story of Rose, a beautiful parlormaid of a well-to-do society family, who ran away with – and then married – the only son of the family. Scandal, as well as some mutual unhappiness, ensued. Powell's take on the case of Rose and her unexpected husband is told in her own inimitable style.

Vetting your vet
I was intrigued by an article in the spring 2014 issue of BARK magazine, "Finding Dr. Right," by John Woestendiek. Roughly half was about the changing state of veterinary medicine, and the remainder about how you and I choose our veterinarian. I hadn't given either topic very much thought, but I think maybe I should.
I don't know if it's my own cynicism, the state of health care in the U.S., or some combination of the two, but I realize that I have higher, and possibly less realistic expectations of my veterinarian than I have for human doctors.
I exclude my primary care physician from the above statement, as she has become something of an esteemed friend as well as a healer in the many years we have known each other. But I am of an age when I see a fair number of specialists. And the connection I make with those doctors is often more like a business arrangement.
Most of them are quite personable, but with any luck at all, we will meet only a few, infrequent times. I tell him or her my health problem, and he or she tries to fix it. I may need to return once or twice for follow-up, but chances are slim that we will be lifelong friends.
On the other hand, I expect that my veterinarian be warm and friendly to me, and ecstatic over the chance to see my dog. She will fawn over him, give him treats, tell him how smart and handsome he is, and perhaps even get down on the floor for pets and kisses. Hardly what I would expect, or even want, from my own doctor.
My vet should be young enough to be knowledgeable about all the modern developments in veterinary medicine, but not so young that she hasn't gained the wisdom that comes withexperience. She should have a vast knowledge of all the intricacies of veterinary science but never sound arrogant, and she should always be willing to admit when she is unsure and suggest I get a second opinion. She should be an exceptional listener when I describe in great if not especially relevant detail my dog's malady, but also be extremely intuitive, since the patient himself doesn't talk. When she explains her plan of treatment to me, she needs to be clear but never condescending.
And my vet must have complete and sincere empathy for both me and my pet. Never mind what kind of a day she is having; she must share my joy when my dog is in his prime and my sorrow when it is finally time to say goodbye. Oh, and did I mention that I would like my veterinarian costs to be affordable, to be seen on time, to have her available in emergencies — and if there's adequate parking at the clinic, all the better. Now what's unrealistic about all that?
Especially when you consider that the universal reason men and women give for choosing a career in veterinary medicine is that they love animals, not necessarily the people who own them. The cost of veterinary school usually leaves them about $150,000 in debt, by the way — this for a job that involves long hours, very hard work, and pays about $50,000, at least for the first few years.
In spite of the fact that I expect the veterinarians to whom I entrust my pets to pretty much walk on water, most of them manage to meet my expectations with a surprising degree of success. In truth, the veterinary practices in Yamhill County seem to be a reputable bunch, and I rarely hear anything negative about any of them. So if you just randomly picked one, you would probably get good care.
But if you wanted to be a bit more methodical, here are some of the suggestions offered by the BARK magazine article.
Ask around town — most of us are all too ready to extol the virtues and skills of our own vets, and/or share any negative experiences we may have had.
Check into any complaints made to the Oregon state veterinary board or Better Business Bureau. You can also check online customer reviews, keeping in mind that there's no way to verify their reliability. It would certainly behoove you to take the time to meet the vets you are considering, and their staffs, and to inquire about their training. I also take into account the pro bono service a vet does for various animal rescue groups in the county. To me, such evidence shows a good heart toward all God's critters, even when it doesn't make good business sense.
Speaking of which, I struggle with the cost of veterinary services, as perhaps you do, too. Since I am now retired and on a fixed income, I am less shy about saying so and asking the cost of recommended procedures and medications before I need to pay for them. I am not above doing some price comparison for things like dental cleanings or flea-control products, and if I feel my dog or cat will get adequate care, I'll go with the cheaper one.
However, I have to admit that most of the time when I take the trouble to do this, the difference in the prices among the vets is hardly worth my trouble. And I have to keep in mind that my vet needs to make a living in a profession where the cost of equipment, ongoing education, facilities and supplies keeps rising.
I suspect the economics of a veterinary practice is a constant juggling act, and that my doctor probably needs to overcharge for some things in order to keep others affordable. There is a trend in more urban areas for large corporations to run a number of veterinary practices, which comes with its own challenges. We haven't seen much of that in our communities, nor do I hear rumors of such. By and large, our local practices are still owned by the vets themselves.
There you have it. While I don't think reading the BARK article will cause me to make any drastic changes in where I take my pooches for their health care, it did help me appreciate how good I've got it.

Lala and Carmelo Anthony Separated, but Not Headed for Divorce; She Never Slept With KG
It was only until Kevin Garnett told Carmelo Anthony that his wife LaLa tasked like "Honey Nut Cheerios" that people discovered that Carmelo was separated from Lala.
The root of the separation isn't known, but there definitely seems to be some legit problems. The New York Post has quotes from friends of the couple shedding light on what is going on.
"It is true they haven't seen much of each other in the past few months," says a friend of the couple. "She's been away a lot filming her show, 'La La's Full Court Life,' in London, New York and LA. They are not separated and are still together. She and Melo have a house in LA — so she's always there when she's doing auditions."
But others say they've been going through a rockier period. "They have been living separately for several months now," says a source. "She's been living in LA while Carmelo has been in New York." The source added, "La La used to go out to the games and wanted to be seen . . . now she's always off doing her own thing."
A family member who spoke to the Post also confirms what BSO had already reported that it was in fact a dig at how Melo's wife tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios that caused him to snap.
Reps for Carmelo and La La Anthony declined to comment. But reached by The Post at the home of La La's mother in Stone Mountain, Ga., a relative named Paul Fryson said of the Cheerios dig: "I've heard it. It is very serious . . . We'll handle it."
As far as the rumor that KG was speaking from personal experience, several sources claim that to be false, that Garnett has never had an intimate relationship with LaLa.
Even though they are living apart and currently having a tough time in their marriage at this point no one is talking divorce.

What Is The AVH?
Founded in 1995, the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy is comprised of veterinarians who share the common desire to restore true health to their patients through the use of homeopathic treatment. Members of the Academy are dedicated to understanding and preserving the principles of Classical Homeopathy.
Why Choose Homeopathy?
Most veterinarians are led to homeopathy by a frustration with the chronic and recurring nature of so many of the problems we see in our animal patients. The goal of homeopathic veterinarians is not merely to treat disease but to cure it. This means that the symptoms of the disease are gone, the patient feels better, and has no new symptoms. Ideally, no further treatment is necessary.
What Can Be Treated By Homeopathy?
Almost any problem that can be treated by conventional western medicine (allopathy) can be treated by homeopathy. Examples of chronic diseases that respond to homeopathy include skin allergies, ear infections, asthma, diabetes,inflammatory bowel disease, epilepsy, thyroid disease and a host of other conditions. Veterinarians who practice classical homeopathy according to academy standards have found that many otherwise chronically ill patients can be restored to health. They have also found that homeopathy can rapidly and gently treat a diverse array of acute conditions from traumatic injuries to infections and poisonings.
Homeopathy is a holistic discipline and the principles of good health such as diet, exercise and removal of stresses are also part of the process or restoring health. Veterinarians who practice homeopathy have found it to be a gentle, safe and effective medical system which offers a true cure to many patients.
The members of the Academy encourage you to explore this web site for further information. A list of Academy members is available if you are seeking a homeopathic veterinarian in your area.

The trigger factors of acne: Excess Sebum
Sebum is produced in sebaceous follicles that are found all over your body (except for the palms of your hands and soles of your feet). They may number several hundred per square centimeter on some areas of the face, and there may be about 150 per square centimeter on the back. Human sebum has great complexity containing free fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, squalane and waxes. The average rates of sebum secretion are higher in people with acne than people without acne.
Acne Toner can help eliminate excess sebum – as it restores balance to the skin and keeps it clear of new acne pimples. Use it day and night.

Finally, as the topic I am addressing is rather new, my speech today is not intended to offer conclusive answers to the questions I have just raised, but rather to encourage the launch of research on something that has been ignored for far too long.
Paget, Zayas, Faurisson
p. 130… "even Reichenau, the only leading soldier in Poland who can be described as a Nazi, was proved to have taken strong disciplinary action against men who had committed offences against Jews."
p. 140… "Manstein exercised his discretion by taking the severest action against any soldier who committed an offence against a civilian, and … several soldiers were executed for rape and looting."
p. 369, footnote 45… "texts and facts abound which prove that the German authorities forbade and punished … excesses, even when Jews were the victims. I will quote only one text and two facts. This text is of general von Roques dated 29 July 1944, on the Russian front (document NOKW- 1620). As to facts, they are reported in document NOKW-501. Here is the first fact: in the spring of 1944 at Budapest, a lieutenant killed a Jewess who wished to denounce him for having [ordered the confiscation of] some of her property, along with some of his men. A German military tribunal condemned the officer to death and he was executed, while several of his men and NCOs were condemned to long terms in prison. Here is the second fact: near … Rostov, USSR two soldiers were condemned to death by a German military tribunal (and executed?) for having killed the only Jewish inhabitant of a village. One finds these examples and many other facts of the same genre in the 42nd and final volume of the IMT Nuremberg transcripts."

Dr. William Mark McKinley, 89
Dr. William Mark McKinley, 89, passed away Tuesday, June 4, 2013, in Brookville.
Dr. Mark was the last of a special generation of McKinley doctors who lived and practiced medicine in Brookville and had a deep impact on so many in the region.
To his family, his friends and his community, he will be remembered as a respected surgeon, a devoted family man and a lover of historic preservation, world history and travel.
As the youngest child of Dr. Arthur C. McKinley and Mary Cowan, Dr. Mark was born March 24, 1924, in Corsica and raised in Brookville.
He graduated from Brookville High School and attended Grove City College.
In 1943, Dr. Mark joined the Army to serve in World War II.
He subsequently returned to college, graduating from Yale University (1946) and Albany Medical College (1949).
He interned at Abington Hospital outside of Philadelphia, then enlisted in the Air Force and served as captain in the medical corps during the Korean War.
In 1953, Dr. Mark returned to Brookville and joined his father, Dr. A. C. McKinley, and three brothers, Dr. Randon McKinley, Dr. Oscar McKinley and Dr. Wayne McKinley, on the staff of Brookville Hospital.
After completion of surgical residency at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Dr. Mark moved back to his hometown to practice general surgery at Brookville Hospital.
He was the first board-certified surgeon in Jefferson County, and he served his community through the Brookville Hospital for 50 years.
Dr. William Mark McKinley was former president of the International College of Proctology and an active member of the Pennsylvania Medical
Society and the Brookville Community Club.
He also served on local school boards and the town council.
Dr. Mark worked tirelessly to enhance the beauty and recognition of his beloved hometown of Brookville.
His love of architecture inspired him to restore a number of buildings to their original beauty and function and seek recognition from the National Register of Historic Places.
The Joseph E. Hall house (the former Rebecca M. Arthurs Library) was the first of his restorations placed on the registry in 1978.
Subsequently, numerous sites in Brookville have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the downtown district of Brookville.
In 1999, Dr. Mark was instrumental in the development of Laurelbrooke
It had been his father's desire to have "this fine parcel (of land) put to some important use."
Today, the Laurelbrooke campus in Brookville includes apartments and cottages for seniors, assisted living facilities, memory care facilities and rehab and post acute care through the Dr. A.C. McKinley Health Center.
Dr. William Mark McKinley is survived by his wife and constant companion of 64 years, Marie; a daughter, Leslie McKinley Yard of Venice, Fla.; and two sons, Arthur C. McKinley II of Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., and Dr. William O. McKinley of Richmond, Va.
He also leaves a legacy of his grandchildren, Marie of Paris, France; Delphine and Madeline of Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.; and Kaitlin, Sean and Megan of Richmond, Va.
He was preceded in death by his three brothers, Randon, Oscar and Wayne; and three sisters, Elizabeth, Eleanor and Barbara.
A memorial service will be held at the Presbyterian Church in Brookville at 11 a.m. on Monday, June 17, 2013.
Memorials may be made to Dr. A. C. McKinley Health Center, Laurelbrooke Landing, 133 Laurelbrooke Dr., Brookville, PA 15825; and the Brookville Presbyterian Church, White and Main St., Brookville, PA 15825.
Arrangements are under the direction of the McKinney Funeral Home,

A two-wheeled speeding ticket made in Austria, I'm still bitter that the 2012 KTM 690 Duke isn't coming to American soil. With all the dressings of a bare-knuckled hooligan machine for the street, the new Duke will surely live up to its heritage of angering elderly women, but a German company has thought up a more refined role for the big-displacement thumper. Adopting the bike into a more superbike trim, German suspension tuners Mototech have created what they call the KTM RC4 690R…and I like it.
We've seen KTM Supermono's before, with perhaps one of the best examples coming from some KTM engineers who built a SuperDuke 690 sport bike on their own time. Don't let those words discourage you from Mototech's work though, as the team's RC4 690R looks like it rolled out of the KTM factory floor this morning. You'll either love or hate the dual-projector headlight setup, while the tail section remains very true to the lines of the original Duke 690. Everyone will be a fan of the 125kg (275 lbs) quoted weight figure

Just been been over at BBC News and read this:
It seems a much needed update has taken place, however inline with most decisions made about computers by people in power, it does not appear to be a very informed update.
The articles main point (to me anyway) is that MPs just don't understand the complexities, and although they can be briefed about potentially the *correct* use etc we didn't elect the computer consultant who is hugely influencing the MPs, we elected the MPs.
As we all know it is one thing to explain computer security etc to someone who doesn't really understand it, but totally another for them to actually grasp the implications and reasoning behind it enough to make an informed decision...

A brown bear sow mauled two Anchorage men setting traps near the Kenai River on Saturday night, sending one to an Anchorage hospital with serious injuries, a wildlife official said.
Jeff Selinger, Alaska Department of Fish and Game area wildlife biologist, said the two men, whose names or ages he could not immediately release, were attacked a half mile upstream of the Kenai Keys on the south — or Funny River — side of the river.
Both men were attacked by the bear during the incident but officials from Central Emergency Services said only one man was transported to Central Peninsula Hospital and then flown to Anchorage with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
Selinger said the two men were separated at the time the sow attacked the first man. Upon hearing the bear and the man's cries for help, the second man ran to help.
"He yelled at the bear and tried to get him away from the area and it came after him and knocked him down and then went back to the first individual and worked him over some more and then left the area," Selinger said.
Neither man had a gun or bear spray, Selinger said.
The second man received only bruises from the indecent and returned Monday to retrieve the traps the two set. The man reported he saw cub tracks in the area as well, Selinger said.
It is late in the year for a bear attack, Selinger said, but some brown bears do not den as soon or as heavily as others. He said active bears have been caught in traps in the area well into December.
"Some bears rarely sleep," he said.
Selinger said Fish and Game has no plans to go searching for the bear.
"The victims even said, 'That's the last thing we want you to do, to go out and try to track this bear down because it is obvious we got into its space,'" he said.
It is unclear if the bear was an overly aggressive bear or one just defending its area, Selinger said.
"It is hard to say, a lot of times when this happens the bears will leave the area," he said. "Not all the time, but often. It is a lot different if it is a single bear or if it is a sow with cubs acting defensively. Most times it is a defensive attack when that occurs, not one necessarily being overly aggressive. However, it can be."
Selinger advised trappers to be bear aware and carry protection.
"If you are going out there, just be aware," he said. "It you are putting out bait or setting traps the bears are still active and I would highly suggest having a firearm with you in case you run into a bad situation. At the very least, bear spray."

First, you'll need a soft measuring tape and a partner to help out. Keep in mind that you're measurements don't always have to be perfect—just a good starting point. A good tailor can easily make some simple alterations to get you the perfect fit. If you're not comfortable measuring yourself, stop by the Pursuit store and we'll be happy to help you.
With your arms at your sides, measure around your upper body, under your armpits and over the fullest part of your chest. That number (in inches) will be the starting point for your jacket size.
Use your height to determine whether you need a SHORT (S), REGULAR (R) or LONG (L) jacket style. If you're shorter than 5'8" you'll likely need additional tailoring to make your sleeves shorter. Guys 6'6"or taller will likely to need a to shop a big & tall store.
Depending on how you're built, you may need to adjust your jacket size. If you're skinny, you don't need to adjust your size, but may need to have a tailor to slim the waist of jacket. If you're solid or broad shouldered, you'll likely need to go up to the next size.
Measure around your waist, just below your navel. Keep the measuring tape snug against your skin, but don't pull it tight. The number of inches is your waist measurement. Slim suit pants will be more narrow in the thighs than typical jeans. If you are not used to wearing your pants 'slim' we recommend we choose the next larger size.
Measure along the inner ridge from the crotch to the point you wish the pants to hit the shoe (typically where the heel of your shoe starts.)

Most Americans will miss a valuable opportunity this month to save money on next year's taxes by giving this year's taxes only half of the attention they should. Preparing a tax return is only part of a successful tax strategy. According to Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Consumer Advocate Eleanor Blayney, CFP®, Americans can use this year's tax return as a guide to achieving greater future tax savings.
"Americans often only look at whether or not they will receive a tax refund, but most could be more financially secure if they spent tax season looking to the other seventy or so lines of the 1040 for planning ideas and strategies," says Blayney. "If Americans broadened their focus they could discover savings in their tax returns that go well beyond last year's refund."
Tax planning for the future is one of the 12 steps in CFP Board's year-long "12 for '12 Approach to Financial Confidence." Blayney recommends five key strategies Americans can use to manage their cash flow and limit their tax liabilities for the year to come:
"A Form 1040 review may leave many uncertain about how to move forward with a new tax plan. A CFP® professional can be a valuable guide and help quantify the benefits of tax-savings strategies – and ensure they make sense for someone's particular situation," advises Blayney. "It may be too late for many to reduce their tax liability for 2011, but a CFP® professional can open the door to smart tax planning for years to come."
12 for '12 APPROACH TO FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE
In January, CFP Board launched a new initiative called "12 for '12 Approach to Financial Confidence" where all the components and steps for successful personal financial management are presented, one each month throughout the year including: establishing realistic goals, tax planning, emergency and risk management, investing, retirement, debt management and estate planning.
ABOUT CFP BOARD: The mission of Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. is to benefit the public by granting the CFP® certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence for competent and ethical personal financial planning. The Board of Directors, in furthering CFP Board's mission, acts on behalf of the public, CFP® certificants and other stakeholders. CFP Board owns the certification marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® (with plaque design) and CFP® (with flame design) in the U.S., which it awards to individuals who successfully complete CFP Board's initial and ongoing certification requirements. CFP Board currently authorizes more than 65,000 individuals to use these marks in the United States.

Jets fan from MA coming to show support and also discuss the game I love
Hey what's up Baltimore.....Im a Jets fan born and raised in Lawrence, MA....deep in the heart of Patriots territory. Grew up a Jets fan because my father and his side of the family are Bronx natives, so I inherited his team unfortunately LOL knew I shoulda listened to my mother! Too late now!
As a fan who loves the game of football, played some Pop Warner and High School at ILB, SS and CB positions, I have always been a HUGE fan of great D. Always have respected and enjoyed to watch guys like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed......who in my opinion are the Greatest Middle/Inside Linebacker and Free Safety I have seen play the game my 30 years on this earth.
Signed up initially to show support, mainly because
1. I Hate the Pats
1a. I'm a huge fan of great D and great players, and it sucks knowing wont be able to watch Lewis and Reed much longer
2. I HATE the PATS!
3. Since my teams HC made a name for himself as your line coach then DC, would like to get some opinions and feedback on him.....of course I'm speaking of SEXY REXY!
1aa. PLEASE BEAT NEW ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Jets fan from MA coming to show support and also discuss the game I love
Welcome to our board and thanks for your good wishes!
You will find quite a number of Rex Ryan fans on here, and I'm sure you'll see some positive feedback about Rex. I have to tell you in all honestly, however, that I am not one of them. I acknowledge that Rex did great work here as a DC, but have been very glad he wasn't hired here to be our HC. Seems to me he's just too much of a "player's coach" and shies away from instilling the necessary discipline. In addition, since moving to NY he has seemed to relish publicity to an unhealthy extent. I don't feel that has been conducive to his team's effort.
I think here of late Rex has toned things down a bit, and that's a good thing. I can only speculate what his thinking is, but perhaps the last two seasons have begun to humble him a bit (to the extent such a thing is possible). He has a tough road ahead next season, what with all the management and coaching staff shake-ups, not to mention the albatross of Mark Sanchez's contract. It'll be interesting to see how he handles it. But I have to wonder if Rex just simply isn't cut out for head coaching and may ultimately end up as a DC again with another team.
OK, not a very uplifting post on my part, but just being honest and I don't think I'm the only one here who feels that way. You will hear from others who are more upbeat on Rex; I'm just giving you a view from the "dark side". And in the interest of full disclosure, I might as well come clean and tell you that I am not a fan of the Jets or their organization.
Nothing personal. I'm cool with fans of other teams visiting the board. I've occasionally done the same by posting on other teams' boards. Thanks again for your support against New England.

Re: Jets fan from MA coming to show support and also discuss the game I love
As for Rex, definitely fair criticism. I would like to see him hold players more accountable, and I think he has started to do that. What I love about Rex is, for one he is a hell of an Xs and Os guy on the defensive side of the ball.....but also like that he isn't hard headed and let pride stop him from admitting short comings and trying to learn from his mistakes. Personally I think he is the right guy for the Jets......hell just how successful he was to win 4 out of 6 playoff games on the road with a bottom tier QB as a handicap and no legit pass rusher is impressive to me, especially when our biggest rivals and competition have arguably the best HC/QB duo ever. Now if we can get him a half decent QB and OC, I'll take my chances with Rex.
Thanks for the comments, always interested to hear from people who are familiar with Rex and just don't like him because of a friggin tattoo or because he "guaranteed a SB". All in all, the Jets highly overachieved in Rex first two seasons when you look at what he had to work with from an unbiased point of view.....in my biased opinion of course LoL

Light it Up – Day 2: Modeling with Rational Functions
Lesson 8 of 12
Objective: SWBAT write rational functions that model problem situations and use these equations to solve problems.
Big Idea: Students will investigate the Light it Up game and find a rational equation that will help Bart and Lisa to win this game every time!
Warm-up: Review Homework
As we begin Day 2 of this lesson, it is essential that students are able to write the equation for a rational function by interpreting a graph where a clear shift is evident. Some students will also be able to write an equation for a graph involving a stretch factor. In order to assess students' status with respect to these issues, I will begin today's class by reviewing last night's homework (Question 8 on the Light It Up worksheet).
To facilitate homework review, I am going to divide the whiteboard into four sections labeled A-D and ask students to write the equation they found for each graph in the appropriate section. I don't want duplicates, but I will ask students to keep writing equations as long as their equation is not already posted. I want this to happen as students are entering the classroom, which will provide some measure of anonymity.
Once all of the students arrive, I will lead a class discussion in which we identify the correct equations as a class. I am hoping that by looking at some incorrect answers, as well as correct answers, the conversation will address both misconceptions and correct mathematical work.
Resources (3)
Investigation: Light it Up
After the Warm-up students will spend the rest of the period collecting data for the Light it Up game and finding the equation that models this situation (pg. 11-12 of original Light It Up activity sheet).
Teaching Notes:
- Today's lesson was adapted from the lesson Light It Up on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Illuminations website. The lesson can be found here (accessed March 6 2014)
- Check out Light it up, video narrative for an overview of my plans for the lesson over the next two days. In the video I also discuss the mathematical practices I expect students to engage in during the lesson.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
As a closure to today's lesson, I am going to have teams text in their answers to part f, the equation that models the light it up game. This closure will have two purposes. First, it will hold students accountable to get to the equation before the end of the class period. And secondly, students' responses will help lead a class discussion about the correct equation. I plan to keep teams' responses anonymous so we can discuss what is correct and what is incorrect about each answer without putting kids on the spot. I think it is important for students to verify they have the correct answers before they leave class today. If mistakes were make, it will be a good learning opportunity for students.
At the end of the lesson I will assign Homework 6 - Rational Functions from this unit.

Microfibers in Sympress™ create a soft, comfortable feel against the skin while wicking away moisture. The Push med Knee Brace can be machine washed on gentle cycle at low temperature.
Patients may order directly from our secure website or by phone. Download and print a patient information sheet about the Push med Knee Brace to give to your patients.
An L-code application for the Push med Knee Brace is currently in progress. BraceLab is not a provider. We do not file insurance nor can we provide information on insurance coverage or reimbursement rates. Patients should contact their insurance provider for filing information.
Pricing automatically reflected at checkout; contact us for details: firstname.lastname@example.com or 888-235-8221.
I was very pleased with this type of knee brace. I have tried about every brand on the market over the years. The problem I have is my knee is partial bone on bone. This is the only brace that can relieve most of the pain. I would defintely buy this again.
Very streamlined and can fit under ski pants. Does not migrate down leg and provides a fair amount of lateral support without significantly limiting flexion or extension.
To determine the best size for a patient's Push med Knee Brace, have them bend their knee to a 90 degree angle and measure around the narrowest part of the knee as shown below. Choose the corresponding size from the chart.
NOTE: This measurement is only a guideline for determining size. If the patient's measurement is near the size break point, the patient should try on both sizes to determine the best fit.
All you have to do is connect the dots!
Push Braces include a "dot system" to help you secure each strap to the proper place, in the proper order. Simply start with the strap that has one dot on the hook-and-loop pad at the end, and secure it to the hook-and-loop pad on the brace that has a matching dot. Repeat with the strap that has two dots, and so on, till the brace is secured. It's that easy!
The Push® med Knee Brace can be machine washed on gentle cycle at low temperature. Be sure straps are closed during washing. Washing in a net bag is recommended. DO NOT add bleach. DO NOT dry in dryer or wash in a dishwasher.
Push® products are of the highest quality, ergonomically designed for optimal comfort and protection, while minimizing the restriction of your activities.

SHANGHAI -- For most automakers, the Shanghai auto show will provide a showcase for hot cars, glitzy technology and preening models. But Chery Automobile and BYD will take the opportunity to declare they've learned their lesson from past mistakes.
Both companies grew too quickly, but China's gold-rush economic expansion concealed their weaknesses -- for a while.
Chery, a small carmaker launched in 1997 in the east China city of Wuhu, transformed itself into China's largest domestic automaker in just ten years. But its products suffered as Chery expanded. Hobbled by poor quality and a weak brand, Chery stagnated after 2008. As sales went soft, the company survived on subsidies from Wuhu's municipal government.
At the show, Chery is expected to announce plans to streamline its product mix and ditch the three sub-brands it created in 2009. In the future, all models reportedly will be marketed under the Chery brand.
BYD also is suffering a hangover from reckless expansion. The Shenzhen-based company started out as a battery maker, then began making cars in 2003. Six years later, BYD overtook Chery to become China's largest carmaker. But BYD sowed the seeds of future trouble when it over-built its dealership ranks.
The automaker couldn't develop enough products to feed its bloated distribution network, and many of its 1,000-plus dealerships went bankrupt in early 2010.BYD's sales quickly went soft and have remained sluggish ever since. Earlier this year, Chairman Wang Chuanfu declared he would cut the company's dealership network to 800 stores. In Shanghai, he is expected to tell the audience how he plans to revive the company's sales.
While Chery and BYD lick their wounds, other domestic automakers will use the auto show to highlight plans to grow.
Dongfeng Motor Corp., China's leading truck maker, is expected to disclose ambitious plans to expand its passenger vehicle business. Great Wall Motor Co., China's largest SUV maker, will provide more details about its aim to create a network of dealerships that specialize in SUVs.
When the auto show opens to the public on Sunday, China's domestic automakers won't match the technology and glitz of their international rivals. But the event presents a good opportunity to observe their progress --growing pains and all.

Dr. Kenneth Weber
Teaching Area(s): Computer Science
Title: Professor of Computer Science and Chair of the Department of Computer Science
Courses Taught: Computer Science
I was asked by my third grade teacher to help other students with their math. It was really exciting to see the "light bulb" go on when they figured out how to do something. I guess that's the underlying reason that I went into teaching mathematics and computer science.
Professional Accomplishments
As I was finishing my doctorate degree, I was able to make a significant contribution to an open-source mathematical software project named GMP, which has since become a significant part of today's computer and communication infrastructure.
Learning Safari
I think of myself as a guide on a learning safari. Since I've been there (to a subject) many times before, I'm excited to point out interesting things I've seen on past safaris to my students, but I'm also excited to see new things every time I go back.
Interesting Research
I developed a course in network security in the early 2000s, which we are able to offer every other year. A handful of my students have gone on to work or study in security related fields.
Best Part of the Job
I love helping students turn on the light bulb.
Favorite Building
Kolenbrander-Harter Information Center (KHIC)—because it's where I spend the most time. It's a pretty comfortable building to teach and study in.
Faculty Commitment
I have never been at a school where the faculty members are more concerned with the welfare and success of their students.
Potential Employers
I believe that employers of our graduates value their ability to communicate clearly, cooperate with others and at the same time have a good handle on the technical parts of their work.
Research Interests
My research has been in the areas of parallel computation and computer arithmetic. I currently am hoping to delve into the area of parallel cryptographic algorithms.
B.S., Mathematics, Kent State University
M.A., Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Madison
M.S., Computer Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Ph.D., Computer Science, Kent State University
I developed a course in network security in the early 2000s, which we are able to offer every other year. A handful of my students have gone on to work or study in security related fields.
- If You Could Teach Another Class
- I would love to be able to teach a class on quantum mechanics—but that's probably because I want someone to force me to take the time to learn some of it.
- Favorite Quote or Motto
- "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."
- Surprising News
- I get frustrated with computers sometimes, too!
- Places to Visit or Things to Do
- Although my wife and I have been to several places out west, I still haven't been to Yosemite National Park.
- Hobbies and Interests
- I enjoy bicycling and camping.

Naomie Harris & Idris Elba: 'Mandela' Paris Premiere!
Naomie Harris and Idris Elba hold hands as they hit the red carpet at the premiere of their new film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom held at UNESCO on Monday (December 2) in Paris, France.
The 37-year-old British actress and Idris, 41, were joined at the event by their co-star Lindiwe Matshikiza, producer Anant Singh, and director of the flick Justin Chadwick.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Naomie Harris
"Its the hardest thing I've ever done. I had to plot it out," Naomi said about playing Winnie Mandela in the flim (via The Guardian). "At 21, Winnie had joyfulness, innocence, openness, excitement and an ability to fall in love deeply. But as people get older – well, some people – they close down. Winnie is a complex woman – like seven people in one. She was a grass-roots activist – on the streets with the people. She could only survive the level of brutality she went through this way."
FYI: Naomie is wearing a Vionnet dress, Chanel jewelry, Burberry shoes and Rauwolf clutch.

One of the core doctrines of Mormonism is that every man, woman and child on the planet is the literal spirit child of our Father in heaven. As a 1995 proclamation of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles puts it, "Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny."
Critics of Mormonism sometimes retort that, biblically speaking, we become children of God only by adoption, that we aren't his sons and daughters by inherent nature, and that only Christians actually qualify for such adoption.
They have a point. The New Testament is replete with language about adoption, though it seems probable to me that this is connected with the formation of family units — and, eventually, of continuous family lines — through the sealing ordinances of the temple.
But the idea that non-Christians aren't actually children of God seems decisively refuted by the words of Paul upon the Areopagus, or Mars Hill, in Athens, as they're recorded in Acts 17. Preaching, significantly, to a pagan audience, Paul approvingly cites one of their own pagan poets — the third-century B.C. Aratus of Cilicia — to make his case that human beings are God's "offspring" (17:28–29). The word rendered "offspring" by the King James translators is the Greek "genos," which is related to the Latin "genus" and means "family" or "race," or "kind," or, even, "descendants of a common ancestor."
Paul is saying that human beings are akin to God — the word "kin" is itself related to "genos" — or, to put it differently, that he and they are of the same genus. (The Latin Vulgate rendering of the same passage uses exactly that word, "genus.")
At Acts 17:29, Paul argues to his idol-worshiping pagan audience that, because we all (and he's plainly including them) are of the same genus with God, "we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device." Such things are beneath us, and, therefore, we ought not to worship them.
Aratus' declaration, which Paul endorses, was a very old one among Greek thinkers. "The race of men is one with the gods," wrote the great fifth-century B.C. lyric poet Pindar, using the same word, "genos," that appears in Acts 17. And the so-called "lamellai," or "golden plates," that have been found in tombs in Thessaly, Crete and Italy take a position remarkably like Paul's own argument.
Among the most intriguing documents from antiquity, these plates were apparently placed in the hands of the dead in order to remind the deceased soul of powerful phrases that it was to use when confronting the powers of the underworld, the sentinels by whom it must pass. They would thus help the soul to attain salvation.
Among them is a plate from Petelia that has been dated to the mid-fourth century before Christ. It describes the terrain and the guards that the dead person will encounter in the spirit world. "I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven," the text advises the deceased to declare, "but my race ('genos') is of Heaven alone."
In other words, the dead person belongs there, in heaven; he is no foreigner. Rather, he is akin to heavenly things and not to the mundane objects of earth.
I'm not offering an eccentric rendering of these passages from Acts 17. I could supply many examples from a variety of languages, but I'll cite just a few here:
The modern German "Einheitsubersetzung" or "unity translation," for example, which takes its name from the fact that it represents an official collaboration of the Roman Catholics and the major Protestant denominations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, renders 17:28-29 quite strikingly: "Wir sind von seiner Art," it says, which means, "We are of his type," or "We are of his kind."
James Moffatt's early 20th-century translation declares that "we too belong to his race." "Car nous sommes aussi de sa race," says the original Jerusalem Bible, as produced by the illustrious Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem. In the following verse, it announces that we are "de la race de Dieu": "We are of his race of the race of God."
Thus, for Paul, humans — all of them, including the idolatrous pagans to whom he was speaking there on the acropolis of Athens — were, by nature, the offspring or the children of God.

Ramp Potato Cakes with Smoked Trout
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Spring wakes up out mouths as well as our gardens and May provides its own brief season of treats, including ramps. Pickled ramps have become a staple on many spring menus, and recipes abound. The sweet/sour acidity of the pickling process mellows their bite and treated in this manner they are a terrific accompaniment to pâté and roasted meats. I love ramps pickled, but feel their distinctive character is best developed when paired with other ingredients. The sweetness of butter, the smokiness of the trout and the crispiness of the potatoes works here to transform that bite into lush comfort food.
Serves: 4 as lunch
cup cleaned and chopped ramps (including a bit of the green leaves), that have been sautéed until soft in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
large russett potatoes
whole eggs, lightly beaten
ounces smoked trout fillet
tablespoons grapeseed oil
cup panko
crème frâiche as an accompaniment
- Parboil the potatoes until they can be just pierced with a sharp knife. Cool completely and peel.
- Grate the cooled potatoes into a medium bowl using the large holes of a standing grater.
- Add the two beaten eggs and mix gently with a fork until combined.
- Break the smoked trout into smallish pieces and gently mix this into the potato-egg mixture.
- Form this mixture into 8 larger or 12 smaller cakes and coat with panko.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of grape seed oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat and cook the pancakes until they are crispy and golden on both sides.
- Serve hot with crème frâiche.

Though the last week of the Tour was filled with travel and a visit from my parents, I was still a productive spinner – this is 8 ounces of California Variegated Mutant spun up into about 175 yards of sportweight 2-ply. Of course, I thought this yarn was worsted weight, and I ended up using a size 8 needle, three sizes larger than my typical worsted yarn choice. So it's probably more accurate to say some parts of it were worsted weight. The skein on the bottom was spun and plied during an incredibly fruitful spinning workshop I took with my guild in March, then I finished the skein on top (notably less overspun) during the Tour. I loved working with the CVM, and it softened right up after a bath, so it's perfection in a skein as far as I'm concerned. I'm hoping to make the Sweet Fern Mitts with this yarn from the Knitters Book of Wool. Mitts of some kind, at least.
Even though the Tour was for spinning, I also finished my first handspun, handknit item: a hat. This is the clever Top Down Ribbed Beanie from Charisa Martin-Cairn with the addition of a stripe of luxury yarn I carded, spun and Navajo-plied myself during the aforementioned workshop in March. There's a little bit of sable, a little denim waste – surely the most experimental thing I've knitted with in quite awhile, wooly girl that I am. The luxury yarn has too much twist, since I am still a Navajo-plying novice – but I did it, and that's what counts.
Another thing I did recently (not related to the Tour de Fleece) was cast on for my first pair of colorwork socks, from stash, from a pattern I've had waiting for at least four years. These are of course, the estimable Laila's Socks from the frankly awesome Nancy Bush – as you can see, this is a popular pattern, and it's hard to make it look bad; I myself went with the "if girly is good, girly with bling is better" combination of Lorna's Laces in Tickled Pink and white sock yarn with sparkles in it. Let me tell you a secret, which when I say it will be just as annoying as hearing "I lost the weight and I ate whatever I wanted." Colorwork is easy.
I hold the contrast color in my dominant hand to make it pop, I hold the main color in my secondary hand, and I never vary that pattern. That one piece of information (plus a sock needle two sizes larger than usual to help ensure looser even tension) is all I needed to feel like I cracked the mysteries of colorwork and make myself into a two-handed knitter. I'm at the heel of sock one, trying to finish these for the Sock Knitters Anonymous colorwork challenge which ends August 31, so the odds are in my favor. I'm just putting this sock-related promise here in writing, because I may have cast on not one but two knitted toys this weekend – wait until you see the cuteness to come.

Hi Everyone,
Just read though the Proposals for the AGM. What really annoys me is the proposed rules for the Foilboard Class.
http://internationalkiteboarding.org/im ... srules.pdf
Specifically this is something I do not want to see:
B.1.1 No kite shall compete in IKA KiteFoil events unless it is series production equipment and registered with the IKA and included in the registered production equipment list.
This will once again be preventing some kiters from competing in the first 2/3 of the Season. I know a lot of great foil boarders who are sponsored by brands that do not have IKA registered Kites. This is the Foil class, so why are we imposing rules from the Formula Kiteboarding class onto it so early.
Also Rule C 1.1.1 B has been copied straight from the Formula Class:
(b) Not more than one production kite shall be registered per size range:
Large: Nominal Size of 15m or bigger Medium: Nominal Size of 11m to 15m Small: Nominal Size 11m or smaller X-Small: Nominal Size 9m and smaller
Why would we want to do this for foiling??? We need totally different kite sizes and ranges !!!! Who's bright Idea was it to just take the Kite Equipment rules 1 to 1 from the Formula Class???!!!
I was so stoked to see that after years of working on it that Foiling is becoming popular as a racing class, but after reading this I feel sick to my stomach
I hope that everyone puts pressure on their IKA National Reps to vote down the proposed rule book. The AGM is on less than 2 weeks. So get onto your Reps now!!

Tiela Chalmers '86 is passionate about building creative programs that address the needs of communities, finding a variety of ways to connect lawyers with opportunities to serve.
"I love making a difference in a community AND giving a volunteer the chance to be a part of that," she says.
We catch up with her here for a brief Q&A:
To think through things from the other perspective, honestly and thoroughly. As lawyers we can get so caught up in the story we are building that we are just not able to imagine that there might be a different way to look at the situation. It makes us wonderfully zealous advocates, but it's a fatal flaw in law and in life. I've tried to discipline myself – in litigation, program work and in my family life – to set aside time to imagine what opposing counsel or a collaborative partner or my teenagers would say, and listen carefully to that message. Are there things that are right – or that sound right? Are there strategic opportunities to find agreement?
Do pro bono work – not just because it's the right thing to do, or because it will be fulfilling, or because it's part of your professional obligation – but because it's an excellent way to try on different types of lawyering, and find your niche. I tried litigation and transactional work, family law and housing, negotiation and trial – and got great experience and a MUCH better sense of what I like and what I don't, and that has informed my career choices.
I think it's also incredibly important to build – and not burn – bridges. You never know when you may cross paths with fellow students, attorneys, judges, court clerks – treat everyone as someone you may need to work with cooperatively one day. Because you probably will.
The other students. I learned so much – both the substantive and the more ineffable – from my friends and colleagues. I was in what we liked to call a radical Marxist study group (though in retrospect, perhaps we weren't quite all that) and it made all the difference for me. And once I graduated, the community of friends and fellow alums made networking much easier. We are, as they say, everywhere!
Tanya Neiman, my boss, mentor and colleague for many years at Volunteer Legal Services Program, taught me so much about being a lawyer, being in public service, politics, management, organizational psychology, and humor. She took controversial stands and asked enormous amounts of people – and they just loved her more. Tanya died way too young, at 56, and I still miss her every day.
I try to get home by dinner time, and not do work between 6:30 and 9 or so. Once kids are in bed or everyone else is tired, I can turn back to the work. But I try to create a window where I am focused on home and loved ones.
I'm very proud of two eviction defense programs that I worked with others to build: one in San Francisco, and one in Los Angeles. In San Francisco, the Housing Negotiation Project is still going strong after ten years or more. In that program, volunteer attorneys under the supervision of an experienced attorney offer limited scope representation to every single person facing eviction in the city. The representation is just for the Mandatory Settlement Conference, but most cases settle at that hearing, and the project has made an enormous difference in the economics and politics of eviction in San Francisco. I'm especially delighted to have been able to work with my classmate, Cary Gold '86, on that project. She brings deep experience, judgment and humor to the work.
In Los Angeles, I was privileged to be retained to create and launch a one-of-a-kind eviction defense project. The project was the largest of those funded by the Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act in 2011. A collaboration between four of the largest legal aid providers in Los Angeles County (Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles, Inner City Law Center, Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, and Public Counsel) and with close ties to the LA Superior Court, the project offers full scope representation to 2000 people facing eviction each year, and limited scope assistance to another 3000. Building an effective project with so many moving pieces was an incredible and very rewarding effort. The project is now in its third year.

The Center for Gender & Refugee Studies has been instrumental in helping women gain refuge from domestic violence.
This summer, in cases that made national headlines, two women whose legal teams were supported by CGRS won asylum after suffering years of abuse and lack of protection from authorities in their home countries.
Aruna Vallabhaneri lived first with abuse from her husband in Hyderabad, India, and then with the threat of deportation when she fled to the U.S. She initially filed for asylum and was denied in 1998 and ordered deported. But after hearing testimony of the abuse in her arranged marriage, she was granted asylum on the basis of domestic violence in June 2012.
"I'm very happy for Aruna that after all these years of uncertainty, she can finally feel the relief of being granted asylum," said Professor Karen Musalo, the director for the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies at the UC Hastings College of Law in San Francisco.
"But the decision shouldn't have been so difficult," Musalo added. "If one takes the refugee definition and applies it in an unbiased way, these cases clearly fit."
Under current U.S. law, individuals should be granted asylum if they have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution for one of five reasons — political opinion, race, religion, nationality or membership in a particular social group. Domestic abuse claims most often fall under the statutory ground of particular social group, the murkiest and most contested category.
Until recently, the Department of Homeland Security, which both adjudicates some asylum claims and prosecutes others, has not supported domestic violence claims, and regulations promised in 2000 have yet to be issued. In April 2009, the department filed a legal brief in a domestic violence case known as L.R., taking the position that women who are victims of domestic violence may qualify for asylum. Despite this recognition, the brief is not binding on immigration judges, and many Homeland Security attorneys have continued to fight domestic violence cases.
Musalo said there would be more victories for such women if the federal government provided clearer, binding guidance. Instead, immigration judges are forced to make case-by-case subjective decisions, Musalo said.
"Some judges just don't see this as an appropriate reason to grant asylum," she said. "And women like Aruna are paying the price for this."
Ms. N.S., a woman from Guatemala, suffered years of physical and sexual abuse by her common-law husband. She filed police reports, but authorities provided no help to her. After a beating and rape that left her hospitalized for three days, she fled to the U.S.
Daniel Sharp, an attorney with the Central American Resource Center in Los Angeles, argued that the Guatemalan government was unable or unwilling to protect her. But in her first bid for asylum, the Dept. of Homeland Security argued she was not eligible.
She appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, which has never stated explicitly that victims of domestic violence are eligible for asylum. And so her case, like those of many other women, sat in limbo.
In September 2011, however, Homeland Security agreed Ms. N.S. did qualify for asylum. Sharp and Homeland Security filed a motion asking the Board to send the case to the immigration judge and grant asylum. On July 19, 2012 the immigration judge heard the case and granted asylum.
"Under proper interpretation of the law, women like Ms. N.S. qualify for asylum. However, judges have been resistant, and it often takes DHS acknowledgement, as happened in this case, for women to be granted the asylum they are entitled to," Musalo said.
Of the 619 domestic violence asylum cases for which the center has provided counsel between 1994 and 2011, 422 women were granted asylum, and 192 were denied. CGRS recently submitted an article to the International Journal of Refugee Law examining 206 domestic violence asylum decisions over the last 17 years, arguing that jurisprudential or regulatory guidance is desperately needed in this area.
July 22, 2012 Chicago Tribune "After Years, Woman Gets Political Asylum After Citing Domestic Violence"
