Thanks for providing a great service. Your site was the most useful resource I encountered because of the room mail feature. Being able to make preliminary, semi-anonymous contacts with prospective roommates not only speeds the process of finding a roommate, but also allows for more selectivity in choosing someone who will work well with one's circumstances. -Alexandra
This is truly amazing ... a very professional well run site. I was in an emergency situation to find a place in New York while living and working Canada. I was too busy to make tons of calls and visit places in person. Not only did I find a great place with a great roommate... my apartment in NYC is cheaper than my rent in Canada!!! Best of all, I exerted very little energy to make it happen - Roommates.com did all the work. - Wayne

If you are not suppose to know then they won't revela anything. Otherwise, don't try to know.
none, everything is stored in plain text. they dont log IP addresses either. so just run a brute force attack agaisnt the server and use every possible cominations of characters they support. Dont bother tryingt o mask your ip or anything, becasue yahoo doesnt care. <bfeg>

We've written several times about Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison's hajj to Mecca, most recently here. A spokesman for Ellison, the first Muslim congressman, first told the Star Tribune that Ellison paid for the pilgrimage himself. The Star Tribune subsequently reported that the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society paid for Ellison's hajj. MAS spokesman Mahdi Bray heatedly denied the report, describing it as a "myth" and "urban legend" that couldn't possibly be true because "that would be a breach of congressional ethics."
Members of Congress recently filed their annual disclosure forms, listing travel payments and reimbursements by private entities. Ellison's form put to rest any lingering question about who paid for his two-week trip to Saudi Arabia, listing the MAS Minnesota as the benefactor reponsible for his hajj trip from November 29-December 14, 2008. MAS Minnesota covered all his expenses over the 16 days of his trip.
The MAS was of course founded as the American branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that spawned all of the leading Sunni terrorist groups, including al Qaeda, Hamas and others. You can read about MAS here. Its pro-terrorist, anti-American orientation continues to this day.
Here in Minnesota, the local MAS chapter is notorious for stirring up trouble in a variety of fabricated controversies. It is also at the heart of the story of the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy in suburban St. Paul, a Muslim school run with taxpayer funds under the supervision of a principal/imam who serves on the MAS Minnesota chapter council. One would think that Ellison's close association with, and indebtedness to, MAS Minnesota might be newsworthy. Think again.
But Ellison's refusal to disclose the cost of his hajj has attracted the interest of the Star Tribune. In "Ellison's privately paid trip to Mecca prompts debate," Eric Roper reports:
Though members of Congress are required to disclose the details of just about any gift they receive, Ellison's office has declined to make public the cost of his trip, estimated at several thousand dollars, maintaining that it was "personal." His spokesman also says the ethics panel didn't require disclosure of the figure.
On Wednesday, in response to inquiries from the Star Tribune about whether the cost should have been reported on disclosure forms released this month, the Ethics Committee is revisiting whether the congressman must report it, said Ellison spokesman Rick Jauert.
The move comes after several government ethics and transparency experts told the Star Tribune that they question why a major gift to a prominent politician is shrouded in secrecy.
In "Louis Farrakhan's first congressman," I wrote about the spike applied by the Star Tribune to stories Ellison preferred to keep buried in his past. To this day the Star Tribune has failed to report on Ellison's long involvement with, and leadership of, the local activities of the Nation of Islam. Ellilson is not accustomed to being called on to answer questions he would prefer to avoid. This week's Star Tribune story represents a rare departure.

Alice Lloyd College is a friendly, overachieving school that is always looking for new ways to make campus life better for it's students. The small campus makes it easier to transfer from high school life to college life in the smoothest way possible. It's wholesome values and morals insure that you are welcome and feel at home.
Reviewer is A current student here.
2 of 7
Categories Comments Campus Safety
Campus safety is up to par.
Clubs and Activities
There is a large variety of clubs and activities.
Great for these types of students
It is for the student who desires a small campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We usually have different themed food nights in the hunger den. We also play games in the CAC building which is a theater building.
Bang for the buck
Granted it is cheaper than most colleges but don't let the advertisement fool you. You are usually never debt free.
What to do for fun
Well if you want the honest truth about it there is not that much to do for fun on campus besides work out. The closest to entertainment is Hazard and it always usually costs money to have fun here.
Food and Dining
The cafeteria has choices but usually the choices are the same everyday. Overall the food here is good.
Dorm Life
The dorms are rather small. They need some renovations. The showers are usually hot. The RA's are really not that helpful. The temperature is usually too hot or too cold. The printer upstairs is almost always out of paper.
Academic Rigor
The classes here are excellent for learning opportunities.
Tips for prospective students
My tip for prospective students is to research the college further than what the staff tells you. Research your financial aid options. Also talk to students on campus not the tour guides. Alice Lloyd isn't for everyone.
In three sentences
I rate Alice Lloyd College a 7.5 out of 10. The atmosphere is friendly. The professors are overall helpful.

Different clubs and organizations often plan various activities on campus. They range from movie night in the auditorium to different games. There's always something going on.
Food and Dining
There are several choices to choose from in the cafeteria. It's very good and they offer enough choices so you don't get burn out on the same thing every day. If the cafeteria isn;t of interest there is a cafe on campus that is very affordable and has delicious food.
Dorm Life
The rules are enforced and some things are not allowed. The R.A.'s are very nice and cooperative and are willing to help anyone in need. As long as one follows rules the dorms are very nice.
Academic Rigor
The work is not extremely hard nor extremely easy. It does require focus and studying but it isn't impossible. As long as one goes to class and is willing to learn the academic perscpective of the school is not a problem.
In three sentences
The school is extremely good. There are so many opportunities available and the education is top notch. The campus is the perfect size and the people are very friendly. The school is a very driven school and thrives on success of the students.

There is a midnight curfew which is great for some that would otherwise cause chaos. Police office within range of everything.
Greek Life
There are no fraternities or sororities here.
Clubs and Activities
They are always having something to do from campus cookouts to intramurals to the basic sports. You can always be doing something if you're looking for something.
Great for these types of students
Christians. Athletes of all sports besides football. Kind hearted.
Bang for the buck
Cheap. Cheap. Cheap. If you need financial aid you're basically covered for anything you will need. You will need some of your own money but honestly not much is needed.
What to do for fun
Theres so much to do here. From intramurals to a pick up game. Of just about any sport including ultimate frisbee.
Food and Dining
The food here is alright its not the best but certainly not the worst either.
Dorm Life
Living in the dorms is fun. Ive already met many friends and my roommates are some of my best friends.
Academic Rigor
So far the academics have been fairly easy. Nothing hard enough for someone to do as long as you are trying they will help.
Tips for prospective students
This is a mandatory work study college. Which mean you will have to work but that money goes to pay for your tuition. Also looks really good on a job interview.
In three sentences
Great school to get a education. One of the best schools in the country for price. The people here are very easy to get along with.

Security is always there and located right beside the dorms. The front door on the dorms lock after midnight.
Great for these types of students
Those who want a close net relationship with people. A college that has the feeling of home.
What to do for fun
Alot of college interaction. Tennis, Cheerleading, Basketball, baseball and swimming
Tips for prospective students
Study Hard. Get involved.

A good first year college for a freshman. Has extremely nice individuals.

As much as it seems to be a small, family-oriented college with not many students and such, it's still college and you still have to work. Don't join thinking that it's going to be a party school because I've been there all my life and everyone who attempts to party instead of study is gone within the first few weeks, guaranteed. They don't keep losers.
Bang for the buck
I would say so. It's rather cheap to get in and it's one of the leading colleges in the nation that you can graduate from without being in a butt-load of debt. If you're looking to save money, ALC is the place to go.
Will enjoy being here
The people are great at ALC. You won't find a better group. Sure, they have their typical douchey-jocks.... but doesn't every school?
Will learn a lot
My dad is a professor here. Trust me, his class is not a cake-walk. However, you do learn a lot as with most every class on this campus.

Alice Lloyd is a religious school so it is a very christian school with very christian rules. so if you come here you must realise that there are curfews set and no boys allowed in girls room and vice-versa except on open dorm.
Tips for prospective students
Well this review only tells you a little about the school if you want more information on it you can go to our website at www.alc.edu to find out anything and everything about the school.
Bang for the buck
This school is also really inexpensive compared to other places and you get the same education if not a better one here than you would somewhere else.
Am enjoying being here
When i'm not in class or working i am usually hanging out with my friends. If you come here you will find how easy it is to make friends here. Everyone is so nice and everybody just gets along.
Am learning a lot
I am about to finish up my first semester as a sopomore here at Alice Lloyd College so i have been here a year and a half so i can tell you a few things about this school. Alice Lloyd is a smaller institute most of the class only have like maybe thrity or so students in it so your instructors can really get to know you as an individual so you don't just fade out a sea of faces like in some schools. I came from a small high school so coming to a school that was smaller was comforting to me because i was terrified of going away to school but the campus is small and the people are nice you pretty much get to know everyone here. Alice Lloyd college is really known for their Biology majors but that's not the only thing they offer we have a great Education department and our Business department was just remodeled so its a great place to have your classes in.

Introducing The Next Box: Spring 1990!
And now for something a little different. This year's box set - Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 - offers six complete shows from the epic spring '90 tour, one concert from each city the band played, personally selected by Dead vaultmeister and archival release producer David Lemieux. The sizzling six are: 3/16/90 Capital Centre (Landover , MD), 3/19/90 Hartford Civic Center, 3/22/90 Copps Coliseum (Hamilton, Ontario), 3/26/90 Knickerbocker Arena (Albany, NY), 3/30/90 Nassau Coliseum (Uniondale, NY) and 4/2/90 The Omni (Atlanta, GA).
In his "Producer's Note" in the beautiful book that is part of the box, Lemieux, who attended the first 10 shows on the tour, states, "To my ears this was the last tour that was consistently great, where every show is excellent, not a dud in the bunch." And Grateful Dead historian Dennis McNally's comprehensive and informative insider's essay in the box is titled "The Last Great Dead Tour." These guys know what they're talking about.
Basically, the band had been on an upward trajectory since Garcia's return to the road in the spring of '87, following his near-death the previous summer. Of course, 1987 was a trip in itself, what with the unexpected mega-success of In the Dark and their first hit single, "Touch of Grey." But the momentum just kept building with each subsequent tour, as Garcia got back up to full speed (and then some!) and the group as a whole was as unified as they had ever been since Brent joined the band in the spring of '79. New original tunes were popping up and the old favorites were imbued with a freshness and spirit that was so uplifting and inspiring. The band was having fun again, and it was downright infectious.
The group's fall 1989 shows-as documented two years ago on the Formerly the Warlocks box (two shows from Hampton, VA, 10/8-9/89) and on the 2001 release Nightfall of Diamonds (a single night in NJ, 10/16/89)- kicked the energy level up another couple of notches, as the band reintroduced such loved classics as "Help on the Way" > "Slipknot!," "Attics of My Life," "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and "Dark Star."
And when the band hit the road in mid-March 1990, they had a bunch of other cool tunes to lay on their unsuspecting crowds, including the return of "Loose Lucy" (last played in 1974; it's not on this box), Brent's "Easy to Love You" (missing since 1980), a rollicking cover of the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time," The Band's "The Weight" (with all four singers taking a verse each) and a lyrically retooled "Black-Throated Wind" (absent since 1974), which elicited huge cheers every time it was played.
Over these six shows, most of the cornerstones of the Dead's repertoire from the era appear-splendid versions of "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire on the Mountain," "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider," "Playing in the Band," "Uncle John's Band," "Eyes of the World," "Estimated Prophet," "Truckin'," "Sugar Magnolia," "The Other One," "Terrapin," "Stella Blue," "Feel Like a Stranger," "Bird Song," "Let It Grow," "China Doll," "Box of Rain," "Morning Dew"; you name it. From the fall '89 breakouts come "Help-Slip-Frank," "Attics of My Life" and "Death Don't Have No Mercy." Among the still newish tunes are "Picasso Moon," "Blow Away," "Foolish Heart," "Just a Little Light," "Victim or the Crime," "Standing on the Moon," "We Can Run" and a couple that would get their final plays from the Grateful Dead on this tour-"Built to Last" and "Believe It or Not." There are stirring renditions of "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "Black Muddy River," rockin' takes on "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "Iko Iko" and the only version of the full "Hey Jude" the band attempted in the modern era. And the "Rhythm Devils" and "Space" jams at the heart of each second set are as noisy-beautiful-scary-funny-intense-mysterious-wild as you'd expect/hope for.
Of course, we understand that some of you may have other favorite shows from this tour you wish were included on this box. Really, you can't go wrong with any of them. But at 18 discs, this is still the second largest Grateful Dead box (after Europe '72: The Complete Recordings) that's been released, and the non-inclusion of any other shows from the tour definitely does not preclude their future release! But this seemed like a more manageable way to go, while still giving a sense of the tour's amazing depth and breadth.
Besides the discs themselves, Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 has much to offer, including: a gorgeous 60-page hardcover book containing copious color photos by Jim Anderson and Michael Laurentus, unique artwork by Brooklyn-based fine artist Wes Lang, fascinating business letters and communications related to the tour, a detailed historical essay by Dennis McNally, a Producer's Note by David Lemieux and individual show descriptions by Blair Jackson; a reproduction of the Dead's 1990 tour program (printed and sold later in '90, for the fall and Europe '90 tours); tickets and backstage passes of all six shows; a band publicity photo from 1990 by Ken Friedman; Dennis McNally's tour laminate; and reproductions of the colored 8x10 sheets GDTS sent out with hotel, food and other information for each city on the tour.
With recordings made by longtime Grateful Dead recordist and producer John Cutler, mastered by Jeffrey Norman in HDCD, you just know it's gonna sound great-and it does!
So, that's the skinny this time 'round. This box is limited to just 9,000 numbered copies - please note, this is the only time these shows will ever be officially available on CD. There will not be an All Music Edition and single shows will not be available physically. Due to ship out August 31st, we anticipate that this extraordinary set will sell-out, so order your copy today!
If you're looking for more of a bite-sized taste of the '90s, Spring 1990: So Glad You Made It, a 2-CD set featuring a handful of favorites, will be in stores on September 18th.

Show #4
when the other music today was on, they made me order twice buffalo 89 and a dix pix 36 saying they couldn't be ordered together, then they sent me two parcels with the same stuff, needless to say i I never had my money back, said the thread with their online customer service operator didn't exist, it was not existing but had two copies more which ended up as Xmas gifts, that's when I began to lose faith!
After ordering the set I lost my credit card and was forced to cancel the account. I called up and asked to change the card number on the order. For some reason this was impossible and tlhey told me I had to cancel the original order and create a new one. Obviously this was going to end badly. On Saturday I recievecd two sets intead of one. I Immediatly called up and spoke to someone who said the first order had been cancelled, but it shipped anyway. She sent me a shipping label and I planned to drop it off at the post office on Saturday. Today they charged my account for the second set and I immediatley called up. This time they denied having any record of the first set being cancelled and when I asked to speak to a supervisor I was put on infinite hold. Isn't that special. Now I am at at a loss. Do I call again and try to straighten it out? Do I ship the second set back and hope they credit my account? Or do I break up the second set and sell it disk by disk in order to recoup my money?
Ordered my Box Set last week and it arrived on my doorstep Saturday afternoon. BAM!
The packaging and the details are fantastic right down to the shipping box! (saved it for my garage gallery)
I've been playing the discs sequentially (so far) building up anticipation to the Hamilton shows I was able to attend......The sound and playing is incredible all around, really takes me back in a great way. "sigh"
Stoked I jumped in and bought this!!
let the buyer beware
You got that right brother! I got mine the same time and am at the end of the third show. Can't get enough. :)
I got mine here in CA a few days ago, and so far it has not disappointed. The quality is amazing, the band is tight, and the energy is high. Just what you would expect. If your ears could get a BJ, this is what it would feel like.....
Your lucky I live near SEATTLE,Wa and they still haven't sent mine
The online check says , still processing. I finally got through by phone and they told me mine won't be shipped until 8/31. How nice I ordered it 8/1 and live in WA state. seems the northwest is LAST as usual.
I paid for overnight shipping and I'm still waiting too. I hope everything's okay with my order.
No Duty or Customs Charges, just waiting for me when I arrived Home for Lunch!
Birdsong From Cap Centre playing right now!!
It costs what it costs, and I happily paid. Spring 1990 sounds wonderful and I appreciate the quality of the box. I also dislike the new lyrics for Black-Throated Wind.
I'm pointing out that 89/90s box sets command a premium per hour of music even though the recordings are pretty much ready to release, as the Cutler live mixes prove (based on comments from DL2). Both Winterland boxes, containing significantly longer shows, went through the presumably more expensive Plangent Process. And then you have Europe 72, 71 hours re-mixed from the 16-track recordings and yet costs less than half per hour as Spring 1990.
You would think it costs less to produce a practically-ready-to-go 2 1/2 hour recording than it would a 3 1/2 hour recording from 35-40 years ago.
I think every period/era of the Dead has pluses that make me want to listen and this late period Dead is no exception. Keep the releases coming-I must say that I haven't been disappointed with any of them other than some of the Road Trips that have terrible sound in my opinion(some not all) with the cardboard drums that drive me crazy. I am still happy to have them however because they are better than low bit rate digital crap and the music will tend to transcend the recording limitations generally. Thank you David, et al for this fine release.
When you have a great player like jerry he should be featured and front and center. equality or democracy in a band does not add up to greatness
then the happy ones are Rhino promomen?
People who whine about modern Dead, and insist they should only release '60s and 70s Dead are like the old farts who used to insist that the NFL started to suck once Johnny Unitas hung up his cleats, and this new football sucks...
Yeah, we know there was more jammin' during '69 and '70 & Europe '72. It's not like you need to tell us! People who can't judge eras of an amazing band (or anything else for that matter) in the context of their times are really freakin' annoying! If you don't like the modern stuff-don't buy it, but don't bitch that it's being released in first place, as if its some imposition upon you!
I hope 3/28, 3/29 and 3/14 all see the light of day as well in future. Can't speak for 3/18 Hartford, or 3/21, or 3/25 Albany. This tour was simply RIPPIN', where every show is at least very very good. No, it's not Europe or fall '72, but that ain't the point. It's a completely jammin' modern Dead, of which there has been very little released, all things considered.
Drums/Space during 3/26 is the shit, btw!
The old slogan, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Ordered some Bonnie Raitt from North Carolina US to Helsinki Finland 8/21/2012. Got shipping notice with tracking number 8/22/2012. It arrived today 8/29/2012. Shipping cost for one cd and one dvd $7,40.
Daves Picks 3 (subcribe) not a clue where it is.
Spring 90 got a t-shirt a week ago and shipping notice for that today. Rest of the order not a clue. My order status says the poster is coming later. It doesn't say anything about the box itself. So I dont know if its coming or not.
Well it has been like this with Deadnetstore for a long time now. Almost always there is some kind of problem. I have accepted this as a part of collecting this music. I dont even expect ordered items to arrive in a reasonable time. I do hope I get the 90-box. According to order status it is not coming at all. However I have a order confirmation dated 8/1/2012. Some time before christmas would be nice.
Another thing are shipping cost to Europe (anyway). They are often very high if compared to other sellers (ebay, Amazon, Raitt)
Well this was my annual whining session. I ll be back some time next year. Be good everyone out there.
looks nice...btw....working through the spring box set. made it through copps. Drumz/Space awesome as usual. Crank It Folks!!! I think I knocked some siding off the house playing this box set. The post space portion of Copps is spectacular. The first verse of Hey Jude is rough, granted, but after the 3: 00 mark, it gets very satisfying. Amazing how good the first sets of this tour are. Lemieux was right. The "small" songs are almost better than the continuous second sets are. Although, Drumz/Space are still mind-blowing. Ahhhhhh.....the memories. Sorry, shedding a tear there...God Bless everyone. Enjoy the fruits of the Grateful Dead. Like a fine wine, they get better with age.
a most excellent post, cbs! Thanks for posting that breakdown. Maybe useless, but someone had to do it!
As your own calculations show, cbs, the winterland boxes cost as much per show as spring '90, and Warlocks shows cost essentially the same. What's your point? The sound is unbelievably good, and the set is priced consistent with other releases.
Anyway, beyond the pointless blathering about cost, this set sounds phenomenal.
Having just visited youtube and started watching a homemade video of 3/16 at Cap Center, I have ever greater appreciation of the sound quality of this release. The audio accompanying the youtube video was completely missing Bob's guitar, and, yes, Bob's playing is one of the highlights of this tour. Really it's the ensemble, as everyone has commented, but to my ears Bob and Brent in particular are on fire and both adding something that takes the music to another level.
IN my opinion, worth every cent, if anything is these days.
I find it interesting that the Fall 1989 and Spring 1990 is priced so high.
Perhaps that is due to additional demand due to the "Touch Head" effect?

Bonus discs for Fillmore West 1969, Winterland 73, and Winterland June 1977 are not included.
Bonus material on 3/26/90 Disc 3 is included (total time 35:31).
And ponder these other useless facts...
For Europe 72 two full shows plus big chunks of about 6 others were already released (4/24, 4/26, plus 4/7+8 and 5/23-26). Several of the four disc shows have quite a bit of empty space, but it was necessary to preserve continuity and avoid breaking up long sequences (resulting in a necessarily increased disc count)
I didn't tally up how much of what made it into Spring 1990 was already previously released, but it notably includes many songs from the first set of 3/26 and the H>S>F from 3/30.
The Spring 1990 Copps Coliseum 3/22 show could have been put on 2 discs, and so could have the 3/26 show if it didn't include the 3/24 bonus material. It would have been nice to see get the whole 3/24 first set uncut as a "bonus" disc instead of having to piece it
together from four separate releases with fades and slightly different mixes. 4/2 is pretty short for a three disc set at 2:15:56, and is the shortest 3-disc set among all those surveyed here.
The released Spring 90 show dates dovetail nicely into the Europe 72 dates if you like to listen to shows on or around their anniversary dates... 1990: 3/15, 3/16, 3/19, 3/22, 3/26, 3/30, 4/2; 1972: 4/7, 4/8, 4/11, etc...
Conveniently, if you use the venue names in your tagging these shows sort alphabetically in chronological order:
Capital Centre, Civic Center, Copps Coliseum, Knickerbocker Arena, Nassau Coliseum, The Omni
Some nice points, cimartin. I'm hopelessly a pre-hiatus guy and love self-indulgent noodling. But I agree the overall ensemble playing here is really top-notch. And Weir, especially, is at the top of his game. I only wish the jams lasted longer.
1200 left guess that kinda makes the whiners about I can't buy it blah blah look kinda silly. Oh yeah before you go there, all but the most important titles in music go out of print, so not being able to buy it forever isn't really valid.
I wasn't aware that it took so long for Fillmore '69 to sell out.
Weren't the Road Trips selections all initially advertised as limited edition? In fact, there are even a few currently in the dead.net store which state that there's "less than 500 remaining." (That reminds me: I need to get those ASAP!)
The problem with the Europe '72 set is that the box edition is practically worthless due to the All Music Edition and the shows being sold separately.
Fillmore West 1969 (10,000 units) sold out before it shipped, but it took about a month, IIRC. Another factor is that this set went up for pre-sale in prime vacation time (see edit), it costs quite a bit more ($80 vs. $200), and has the bad luck of coming out less than a year after we paid $450 for E72.
Edit: Fillmore West went up for pre-order on July 26, 2005 and sold out around September 7. Research done via Wayback Machine.
Fillmore West 1969 was the first release of it's kind from the Grateful Dead, was announced earlier in the Almanac, and it (still) took 6 weeks to sell out.
And as far as limited editions go, Fillmore West 1969 (10,000), Europe 72 Box Edition (7,200), Spring 1990 (9,000), and Dave's Picks Vol. 1-4 (12,000) have been the only ones advertised as such, right?
Earlier this morning I guess-timated that there were approximately 800 sets left. It seems I was way off! "Fewer than 1200." So, since Thursday evening they've managed to sell another 650-700 sets. That means they're selling about six sets an hour. No wonder they recently compiled the latest slideshow advertisement featuring "Loser" from 3/24: at this rate, this set will likely be available for yet another 2-3 weeks. By my reckoning, this set is selling at a snail's pace compared to everything else previous.
For the video on 3/30/90. Love the insights, love the new Box Set!
One thing I'm surprised at is that no one has offered up the individual shows on eBay. I bet plenty of folks not willing to drop $200 on the full set might spend $40 for a single show.
I will post some more numbers on this later, but there is definitely a premium price attached to the Warlocks and Spring 1990 boxes. Both the Warlocks and Spring 90 box sets are around $12.85 per hour of music, while Europe 72 comes out to $6.34.
Please send me a PM with your order details and we'll try to get this straightened out. Thanks and sorry.
when I called support on Friday afternoon, I was told by support that they were shipping the orders in the order they were placed. They told me at that time that my order would ship within two business days and had not shipped yet. The online order status was "in process" as well when I checked online. As of Saturday morning it was still "in process" but I was pleasantly surprised when the usps driver dropped it off later that day. I did not get the confirmation email till today. I ordered mine the first day I got the email (Aug 1)...
Hang in there, it's worth the wait.
My 2 pennies on the streaming debate: I believe if people allowed by the band to tape the show via mic or soundboard link, they should be able to make the music available to others for free.
With that said, I do believe if the Dead take the time and expense to remaster shows with such awesome audio quality, they should be able to offer this to their fans for a profit.
As a consumer with limited funds, I did not have the funds to purchase Europe 72 box set, but did splurge for the 1990 set and very happy that I did. I chose not to buy a Dave's pick's subscription and bummed I missed out on the first release. By the time I had the money, it was sold out...
Noticed there are no Me & My Uncle > Mexicali blues > Big River > Mama Tried's anywhere in this box set. You know what that means. If there is a Spring '90 Vol. 2, get ready for a lot of cowboy songs. Just wanted to point that out. Still, AWESOME box set. I cannot overstate that enough.
Donahue.luke I'm in the same boat and know of at least 1 other person besides me and you. My order is in process when I check on the site, and customer service told me it will ship the 31st. The best part is paying 45 bucks for overnight shipping in hopes of getting it early lol. I am just glad they have my order. few more days of waiting and being so damn excited it hurts . hopefully all those of us they haven't shipped yet will do so by the 31st at the latest. Good luck getting yours.
I won't draw comparison between Spring '90 and Europe '72 other than that the Grateful Dead had grown beautifully. The depth and dynamics of their playing in Spring 1990 was as spot on as always.
I've had my copy of the box since Saturday, and I'm casually taking it in. Listening in chronological order, I'm only up to Copps Coliseum, and I can hear the band just getting better and better with each show. Jerry sings and plays with more soul on this version of Must Have been the Roses than almost everything else I've ever heard from the bands and Jerry's solo work. Phenominal. This one song is worth the price alone! Priceless!
Has anyone else received the email that the box is shipping, but then when they call, they're told that spring 90 won't ship until the 31st of august?? The wait is killing me and nobody picking up the phones seems to know anything except that the box is "in process," which it's been for over a week.... I can't spend anymore days sitting on my porch waiting for it--my self-respect dwindles...
I've heard first two shows-both very different shows but each with stellar moments-check out "Eyes" onward in Hartford-amazing Rhythm Devils. Cap is consistently wonderful. Hartford more peaks and valleys but definately worth the price of admission.
Please, pretty PLEASE, perhaps Dark Star and Birdsong from 3/29/90 with Branford??
Will we have to wait until Record Store Day (next April)?
Got my set over the weekend and my only criticism is no Loose Lucy! Other than that all I have to say is great job and thanks a ton! Been an advocate of late '89 - early '90 for some time now despite the criticisms others have. As with any era of the band we take the bad with the good and this one is no exception. Lately I've been asking friends "If you could only pick one tour to listen to for the rest of your life, which would it be?". You could pick Europe '72, but have fun not hearing Eyes, Scar>Fire, Estimated and about a dozen others. Or maybe you want to go with Spring '77? Guess what, you don't get Dark Star. Spring '90 is my answer. Great variety, great playing and just all around pretty solid. Sure other tours reached greater heights but this one has always seemed best all around to me.
Over the years we've been pretty blessed as fans that we've been able to reap the benefits of a fairly aggressive release schedule from the vault. And while the 70's are justifiably the most well represented era, I'm glad to get a big release from this tour and really hoping the rest of it comes out some day.
If your looking for mixes that have Jerry front and center, your are right, there are probably better places to go. Like Dick's Picks Vol. 10, for example. It's a low quality recording with Jerry blazing away over top of everyone in the "mix" -- and he's on fire -- almost reaching metal god performance. It sounds great. Vol. 10 is one the releases I save for special occasions. However, if you are looking for superior ensemble playing and a proper mix, I really don't think you can top '90, even though the venues they were playing were anything but intimate. For example, the way that Bob's guitar pick harmonics blend with Brent's keyboard tinkling during Peggy-o. You won't find that on Europe '72, as great as some of that tour is. Nor will you find the interesting percussion and drums happening underneath it all. And you will not find Jerry's improvisations to be as disciplined and on point. I know the criticisms of Brent. His keyboard playing relied too much on keyboard cliches. His song writing ability -- well, he had none. But damn, he could do good backing vocals, and often his keyboard work was perfect in the moment. (Kudos to Norman for the perfect mixing). This tour was one of the Dead's finest moments. Bobby in particular was enjoying an artistic and performance peak. You can have your off-key Pigpen and pointless, self-indulgent instrumental noddling. I won't begrudge you. But give me the finely honed, beautifully crafted music heard here in Spring 1990. More late Brent period please.
This box is well put togehter and if you like brent you must be in heaven. I just can't see how this is one of the greatest dead tours. There is sure some interesting stuff hear in the box like the covers of last time and the weight.. I just don't see jerry or hear jerry as prominent in the whole of the box. The stuff blair is talking about in 72 on his latest blog that made that time so special is lacking here. the least best show from e 72 totally blow away anything in the new box.. Most of the raves I've seen on the sight for music are about dave's picks 3. Please no more late brent era. There is so much to choose between 69 to 85 that jerry is on fire but I am sad to say not here.
Plucky: "told to go buy music that has and should always stay free."
Why the heck should it be free? How absurd. Get your head out of your hippy acid soaked butt!
You try to do what the Dead did and then give it away.
Do you work? Do you get a paycheck and then give it away?
has anyone gotten their box that paid for overnight shipping? just trying to figure out if iI need to buy another one or if my order is going to be shipped sometime.
Got my Spring 1990 box on Friday. I was pleasantly surprised to find it waiting for me when I got home from work, especially considering I only paid for the standard shipping, and wasn't expecting it to be shipped before the end of the month. All I can say is "Wow!" This thing is a beauty. I didn't order the Europe '72 set when it came out (mainly due to the price tag), but now I'm going to totally reconsider that. The sound quality on these discs is fantastic. The set definately captures a moment in time for me. I'd forgotten how vital Brent had become to the sound of the Dead at this point in time. Makes me wish I'd appreciated him more when he was around. The first set of the Cap Centre show is flawless. Can't wait to dig into the rest of this box. Heck, I was still enjoying Dave's Picks, Vol.3 when this arrived, so now I'm Dead-set for the near future. Also, the extras (especially the tour program and the hardcover book) are very cool. A lot of thought went into this thing, and I'm looking forward to future similar treatment for these GD box sets.
This box is already worth half of what some Fillmore '69 sets are currently going for on eBay, many those now being rather well-circulated and banged up. What concerns me is that there is definitely not nearly the demand for this set as there was Fillmore '69 or even Europe '72. This lack of demand will definitely affect re-sale value. It will take much longer for somebody willing to dish out $600 for this set versus Fillmore '69. Enough time has elapsed so that the gameplayers who would have been willing to drop $600 at re-sale have now had their chance to purchase one brand new. I've got to admit that I'm sort of confused by the suckers who have their Spring '90 box listed on eBay right now while the set is still available here. I suspect that there's about 800 left in the warehouse, and those 800 will take some time to sell through.
I f you have 2- track recordings of Fall tour ' 89 that sound like these do. Could you please release them?
Spring box Vol. 2 I'm in.
These sound so good!
Just got mine in the mail today. It was here before I knew it, as i finally got my order in on Thursday. I've got the majority of this tour on tape as well and the Hartford 3-19 as well as 3-16 Cap Centre shows where pretty solid. the bird song from 3-16 is mind blowing. unfortunately my first show was 7-19-95, and never got to see the dead in it's peak years, but after listening to this it makes me feel as if i was there. From the shows I've heard so far as I'm listening to them in order as we speak. The mix sounds very well balanced and appealing to the ears. These shows were very well prepared. overall very happy myself. thanks David, Jeffery, and the entire GD staff.
Hey David, for the next vault show please select 4-2-73 Boston Garden, or maybe a box of 87' Red Rocks. oO!!!! If the box looks anything like the spring 90' tour, I'll be for sure in on a buy for it. just for a heads up, I'll definitley be purchasing vol 2 as well. pCe!!
I'm so glad everyone is enjoying this set! I love this era of Grateful Dead so much. Unfortunately, I cannot afford this set. I know I'm missing out, but I picked up the downloads of the Pittsburgh shows from 4/2/89 and 4/3/89, so I can kinda live vicariously through those. Plus the download was $19.00 for two complete shows. I think I'll get the 2-disc compilation when it's available.
Keep the positive vibes comin everyone! Cheers to Spring '90. This set will probably be worth more than the Fillmore set when it's all said and done. If it's still available around September 12 or 13, I may pick it up.
Can't wait for the next DP release! C'mon 60's show!
And gave out 2 or 3

The concussion hit like a surprise punch in the gut.
Cannon fire � the chest, the heart knew that instinctively, before the brain could even engage and interpret.
On the concourse of Santander Stadium Sunday evening, during the first inning of the York Revolution�s game against the Sugar Land Skeeters, a young woman in a baseball cap, hair pulled back in a ponytail, stood with an older woman ordering beer from a stand selling microbrews by Mudhook and Liquid Hero.
Fans streamed past with food and drink, chatting, laughing, oblivious to the words of the PA announcer � something, something, �Cannonball Charlie,� something, something�
The young woman collapsed instantly � as if struck by a shot from the cannon the Revs use to celebrate home team homers.
She went down on her knees, covered her head and appeared to be quivering in terror.
The older woman accompanying her kneeled down to console her, offering words of explanation and comfort.
The beer vendor, others in line stood ready to help but were unsure what to do.
She remained squatting for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 or more before unsteadily rising, fear still gripping her face.The older woman turned to bystanders and, before leading the young woman away, said, �She just got back from Afghanistan.�
A young member of our military just back from a war zone puts on a Revs cap and goes to the ballpark for a fun evening � a chance to forget the struggles in that embattled land, an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of the freedom her military service ensures: A ballgame in small-town America.
And suddenly a terrifying reminder of the death that stalks our service members every minute of every day on the front lines of the war on terrorism.
It�s heartbreaking to think this is what our soldiers must contend with as they try to resume normal lives.
We hear about post traumatic stress disorder, we read about it and discuss it abstractly. We might have friends or family members who suffer from PTSD.
But to witness an apparent public episode of it in reaction to a fun, everyday feature at a typical York ballgame, well, it�s stunning.
It shockingly illustrates the sacrifices we ask of our young men and women in military service � and it drives home the fears and dangers we expect our soldiers to face.
We can debate the politics of Afghanistan � the mission, the tactics, the virtues or pitfalls of the president�s semi-exit strategy.
But there should be no debate that our soldiers deserve the best care we can provide when they return home and resume �normal� civilian lives.
The recently revealed problems in the VA medical system must be fixed. We owe our wounded heroes the best care possible � and that includes care for those who have been wounded psychologically, who can�t go to a local ballgame or a fireworks display without a crippling reminder of war-zone terror.
We don�t know the name of the young woman who just got back from Afghanistan.
We don�t know her branch of the military or her rank.
We don�t know what she did or what she experienced over there.
But we salute her.
Our hearts go out to her.
And we hope she gets the help she needs and deserves from a grateful nation.

Bill Shurtleff and Akiko Aoyagi have previously explained the art of making and serving tofu in the MOTHER article, "The Plowboy Interview: Bill Shurtleff and Akiko Aoyagi." Below, the authors teach us how to prepare this nutritious — and inexpensive — food yet another way: deep-fried tofu.
Three types of deep-fried tofu are prepared in most Japanese (and many American) tofu shops: thick agé (pronounced ah-gay ), whole cakes of regular tofu which have been pressed and deep-fried; ganmo, deep-fried burger-shaped patties or small balls of firmly pressed tofu containing minced vegetables and sesame seeds; and agé, small pouches or puffs of deep-fried tofu that can be filled with salads, grains, cooked vegetables, or other stuffings.
Many Japanese chefs and tofu masters are of the opinion — with which we agree — that of the various types of tofu, deep-fried tofu may be most suited to Western tastes and cooking. All three varieties have a distinct, hearty flavor, golden-brown color, and firm, meaty texture that remind some of fried chicken. In fact the word ganmo actually means "mock goose," and this tasty tofu was originally developed by chefs who longed for the flavor of wild goose meat, a delicacy once forbidden to all but the Japanese nobility.
Deep-fried tofu can be used as a delicious and inexpensive meat substitute in a remarkably wide variety of recipes. Grilled or broiled, it has a savory barbecued aroma; added to casseroles, sautéed vegetable dishes, or curry and spaghetti sauces, it adds body, texture, and plenty of protein; served in sandwiches, egg dishes, or atop pizzas, it may be used like cold cuts or bacon; and when frozen, its structure undergoes a total change, making it even more meatlike, tender, and absorbent.
Because the processes of pressing and deep-frying greatly reduce the water content in this tofu, it will stay fresh for long periods of time without refrigeration. Thus it is well suited for use in lunch boxes or on picnics and hikes, even during the warm summer months.
In addition to imparting a rich flavor and aroma to tofu, the process of deep-frying also adds highly digestible polyunsaturated fats, usually from either rapeseed or soy oil. Thus when deep-fried tofu is used in place of meat, it serves as a source of the fatty acids necessary for a balanced diet and simultaneously helps to reduce the intake of saturated fats.
All varieties of deep-fried tofu are rich in protein: thick agé, ganmo, and agé contain respectively 10.1, 15.4, and 18.6 percent protein by weight. Thus both ganmo and agé have a higher percentage of protein than either eggs or hamburger (which have 13 percent each). A typical 5-ounce serving of thick agé, for example, provides about one-third of the daily adult requirement of usable protein.
Deep-fried tofu — like most deep-fried foods — is at its very best just after being prepared, while still crisp and sizzling. And each of the three basic types can easily be prepared at home from regular tofu.
Dousing removes excess oil from the surface of deep-fried tofu, making the tofu lighter, easier to digest, and more absorptive of dressings and seasoned broths. Some cooks always douse deep-fried tofu, while others find the results are not worth the time and effort. Generally, we hold to the latter point of view. But if you are on a low-fat diet, douse! Place uncut pieces of deep-fried tofu in a strainer or colander. Bring 2 or 3 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Douse first one, then the other side of the tofu. Allow to drain for about 1 minute before using.
Or, holding individual pieces of tofu with chopsticks or tongs, dip tofu quickly into boiling water, then drain in a strainer.
This technique, too, rids the tofu of some of its excess surface oil, while imparting a crispier texture and savory aroma to it. If you broil, do not douse beforehand. Some cooks like the broiled texture and aroma so much that they use this technique as a prelude to most deep-fried tofu preparations.
Homemade Thick Agé
(Serves 2 to 4)
Use fresh or day-old regular tofu. Tofu that is just beginning to spoil is rendered fresh and tasty by deep-frying. When short on time, pat the tofu with a dry dish towel instead of pressing it to remove excess surface moisture. A 12-ounce cake of tofu usually weighs about 5 1/4 ounces after pressing and deep-frying. Consequently, the protein content by weight increases from 7.8 to about 15 percent.
Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit in a wok, skillet, or deep-fryer. Carefully slide in both cakes of tofu. Deep-fry for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until tofu is floating on surface of oil. Stir occasionally to prevent tofu from sticking to pan. Turn tofu over and deep-fry for 30 seconds more, or until crisp and golden brown. Drain on a wire rack for several minutes, then pat dry with absorbent paper. For best flavor, serve immediately, topped with a few drops of shoyu and garnished with grated gingerroot (or daikon ) and thinly sliced leek or scallion rounds.
Homemade Ganmo
(Serves 8 patties or 12 balls)
Ganmo can be prepared quite easily at home. Experiment with different combinations of ingredients to suit your taste. The various vegetables, nuts, and seeds used should comprise about 15 to 20 percent of the total volume of the ganmo mixture. In tofu shops, ganmo is usually deep-fried, first in low or moderate oil and then in hot oil, and contains grated glutinous yam as a binding agent. Ganmo balls seem to hold together better than large patties and, having a smaller surface area, they absorb less oil during deep-frying. Patties are better for use in Ganmo Burgers.
Combine the first eight ingredients in a large shallow bowl; mix well. Knead the mixture for about 3 minutes, as if kneading bread. Add the salt and knead for 3 minutes more until "dough" is smooth and holds together.
Fill a wok, skillet, or deep-fryer with 2 to 2 1/2 inches of oil and heat to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Moisten your palms with a little oil or warm water and shape the dough into 8 patties 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter or 12 balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Deep-fry patties or balls for 4 to 6 minutes, or until they float high in the oil. Turn patties over and deep-fry for several minutes more until crisp and golden brown; drain ganmo on a wire rack or absorbent paper. Serve sprinkled with a little shoyu as Crisp Deep-fried Tofu.
Refrigerated in an airtight container, ganmo will keep for up to 1 week; frozen, it will last indefinitely.
Ganmo Cheeseburger
(Serves 1)
Cut the bun horizontally into halves and spread with mayonnaise, butter, mustard, and ketchup. Spread the miso on one side of the ganmo pattie, then place pattie on the lower half of the bun. Stack onion, tomato, cheese, and lettuce on top of ganmo. Top with upper half of bun.
Homemade Agé Pouches
From Store-bought or Homemade Tofu
Serves 4 to 6)
This is the quick and easy way to prepare homemade agé pouches. Twelve ounces of unpressed tofu will yield 5 ounces of agé.
Cut tofu horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick slices, 4 to 6 inches long and 3 to 3-1/2 inches wide. Press slices using the sliced tofu method, except place a cutting board and a 5-to-10-pound weight on the tofu and press for about 40 minutes.
Fill a wok, skillet, or deep-fryer with 2 inches of oil and heat to 240 degrees Fahrenheit. Slide in the pressed tofu and deep-fry over high heat until temperature of oil reaches 310 degrees. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue to deep-fry until agé pieces float on the surface of oil. Return heat to high, turn agé, with chopsticks, and deep-fry until oil reaches 385 degrees. Reduce heat to medium and deep-fry until agé pieces are crisp and golden brown. Remove agé from oil, drain briefly on a wire rack or absorbent paper, and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
Cut a thin slice from the end of each piece of agé. Carefully insert the point of a knife between the deep-fried surfaces from the cut end and separate the sides to form a pouch. Using a small spoon, scoop out any tofu remaining inside. (To make 2 small pouches, cut each piece of agé crosswise into halves, then proceed to open as above.)
Cooked Vegetables in Agé Pouches
(Serves 3)
Mix the first five ingredients, then spoon into the pouches. Fold over the mouth of each pouch to form a flap and fasten with a foodpick. For variety omit the onion, mayonnaise, and miso; add 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
VARIATIONS: Use any of the following combinations as a filling for agé pouches; serve topped with a sprinkling of shoyu:
Deep-Fried Agé Apple Turnover
(Serves 2)
In a small saucepan simmer apples, raisins, sugar, and water for 6 to 8 minutes until apples just begin to soften. Sprinkle with cinnamon, then spoon mixture into agé pouches. Fold over the mouth of each pouch and fasten with a foodpick. Combine flour with just enough water to make a thick paste and use to seal the mouth of each pouch.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit in a wok, skillet, or deep-fryer. Slide in the pouches and deep-fry until crisp and golden brown. Remove foodpick, drain, and serve piping hot.
In each of the following recipes, an equal weight of any of the three basic types of deep-fried tofu may be used interchangeably. However, since the texture and flavor of one type often seems to go best with each dish, that type will generally appear in the recipe title and be listed first in the ingredients, followed by the second and third choices.
Crisp Deep-Fried Tofu
(Serves 1)
This is our favorite recipe for serving deep-fried tofu, especially agé. If you live near or visit a tofu shop, the master may invite you to sample his sizzling, freshly deep-fried tofu served in this simple way.
Cut the hot tofu into bite-sized pieces and serve topped with the shoyu and garnish.
Ganmo-Tomato-Mayonnaise Salad
(Serves 2)
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; toss lightly.
Deep-Fried Tofu Sandwiches
Use 2 ounces agé, ganmo, or thick agé, lightly broiled, if desired, and cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide strips. Place between 2 slices of buttered (whole-grain) bread or toast with any of the following combinations of ingredients:
Onion Soup With Thick Agé
(Serves 4 to 5)
Heat a large casserole and coat with the oil. Add onions, cover, and simmer over lowest possible heat for 3 1/2 hours, stirring the bottom once every 20 minutes. Add the thick agé, butter, and thinned miso; mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight. Add the cheese, bring just to a boil and, stirring constantly, simmer for 1 minute, or until cheese melts. Serve hot or, for a richer flavor, allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
For variety, add 2 to 3 lightly beaten eggs and/or 1/2 cup thinly sliced lotus root 15 minutes before adding miso.
Thick Agé and Scrambled Eggs With Mushrooms and Cheese
(Serves 2)
Combine the first five ingredients in a skillet and simmer, covered, for about 8 minutes. Break in the eggs and, stirring constantly, scramble until eggs are firm. Serve topped with the cheese or sansho.

Oregon bill would make voter registration automatic
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Oregon's chief elections official wants almost everyone with a driver's license to be automatically registered to vote.
The plan, proposed by Democratic Secretary of State Kate Brown, would significantly redesign Oregon's voter-registration practices and potentially add hundreds of thousands of newly registered voters to the state.
Combined with Oregon's all-mail elections, the bill would mean that most adult state residents would automatically get a ballot in their mailbox. Republicans have reacted with caution, saying they're concerned about the potential for fraud.
The House Rules Committee heard public testimony on Brown's proposal Wednesday but did not decide whether to advance it.
"Voting is a right and a power afforded every eligible citizen in this state," Brown told the committee. "The purpose of registration is to identify eligible people, not to exclude them."
Nearly 40,000 people tried to register to vote but missed the deadline over the last three elections, Brown said.
The debate comes amid a fierce disagreement between activists in both parties over the mechanics of voting — how a ballot is cast, and how much proof of identity should be required.
Democrats worry that strict registration and identification requirements disenfranchise voters, particularly young, old and low-income voters who may have more trouble providing proof of their identity and address. Republicans fear that lax restrictions would make it easier for someone to illegally cast a ballot.
"Voter registration should be the responsibility of citizens, not the responsibility of state agencies," said Sandy Raddue of Beaverton, who leads the Oregon Republican Party's election integrity efforts.
Brown survived a tough re-election challenge last year and is widely viewed as a potential candidate for higher office.
The measure would require the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division to send names, ages, addresses, citizenship details and digital signatures to the Secretary of State's Office, the state agency in charge of elections. People who meet the legal requirements to vote would be registered if they aren't already, and they'd receive a letter with instructions to cancel their registration or join a political party if they wished to do so.
The move would significantly swell the voter ranks — Brown's office estimates an influx of about 500,000 new registered voters. With a population of 3.9 million, Oregon had about 3 million adult licensed drivers at the end of 2011, the most recent year available. There are currently 2.2 million registered voters. Some of the licensed drivers who aren't registered to vote would be ineligible to cast a ballot because they're not U.S. citizens or were convicted of a felony.
Oregon's voter turnout is among the highest in the nation. Last year, 83 percent of eligible voters returned their ballot.
Eight states and the District of Columbia allow voters to register on election day, and North Dakota doesn't require voter registration.

The Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (CNDR) will host judges, attorneys and court administrators from around the globe at its third annual Summer Legal Institute—a unique program for professionals who want to implement court Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in their home legal systems. Diverse participants from 25 countries have come to study together at the Center.
Funded in part by $118,000 in three annual grants from 2011–2013 from the JAMS Foundation, the Institute will prepare participants from countries such as Cameroon, China, Egypt, Nigeria and the Philippines, among others, to design and implement court ADR programs in their respective countries.
ADR programs are needed to help maintain the rule of law in fragile court systems where corruption may exist. They also save the courts' resources by enabling the court to refer cases suited to ADR to mediators that can work with both parties toward resolution. ADR programs also give a voice to both parties and enable them to create a solution to their own problems.
Participants in the Court ADR Summer Institute will learn how to lay the groundwork for a successful court-based ADR program by working with local stakeholders; how to assess community needs, choose ADR processes suited to those needs and develop the chosen program design; how to screen and select cases appropriate for ADR; and how to implement, evaluate and modify a program once it is underway.
Participants from previous Institutes have already launched successful programs in their home countries. "A participant from Brazil implemented a number of changes to his court's ADR program after the Institute and wrote to thank us and to proudly report that his court had won First Place in a National Conciliation Award contest of their National Council of Justice" said Sheila Purcell, Director of the Center.
"Other prior attendees are working on building capacity for programs by focusing on training. For example, a judge from Spain arranged for a UC Hastings CNDR Adjunct to provide a 50-hour Mediation Certificate Training to comply with the new European Union directive regarding mediation. A professor from Turkey sought and received a fellowship to come back to CNDR to learn more about introducing a mediation clinic in their law school curriculum."
Faculty for the program includes Purcell; Claudia Bernard, Chief Circuit Mediator for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; and Howard Herman, Director of ADR Programs for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
For more information about the program, held June 20-26 at UC Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, click here.
JAMS, the nation's premier provider of private dispute resolution services, established the non-profit JAMS Foundation to offer financial assistance for conflict resolution initiatives with national or international impact and to share its dispute resolution experience and expertise for the benefit of the public interest. Funded entirely by contributions from JAMS, JAMS neutrals, and employee associates, the Foundation's mission is to encourage the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), support education at all levels about collaborative processes for resolving differences, promote innovation in conflict resolution, and advance the settlement of conflict worldwide.

We're counting down the most popular posts on Mamamia this year from 20 to one. Coming in at number 7? This one by Mamamia's Managing Editor, Jamila Rizvi.
Number 7: "Yes I'm a feminist, why aren't you". by JAMILA RIZVI
Marissa Mayer is not a feminist.
Marissa is the CEO of Fortune 500 company Yahoo. She is one of the world's most successful businesswomen and when she announced last week that she is about to start a family, she got everyone's attention. Here is a woman who really does seem to 'have it all' and yet on the topic of feminism, she told AOL:
"I don't think that I would consider myself a feminist. I think that I certainly believe in equal rights, I believe that women are just as capable, if not more so in a lot of different dimensions, but I don't, I think have, sort of, the militant drive and the sort of, the chip on the shoulder that sometimes comes with that."
This is a woman who has benefited enormously from the women who went before her. A woman whose achievements are noteworthy in and of themselves but at the same time, a woman whose achievements would never have been possible without the feminist movement.
Yet Marissa Mayer takes that feminist name tag, casually chucks it into the garbage and wipes her hands of it. And she is not alone in doing so.
More and more, women are distancing themselves from the term 'feminist'.
Surveys consistently reveal that as few as 30 per cent of women in Australia, Canada, the US and the UK consider themselves 'feminists'. And the number of self-identifying feminists only decreases when you survey younger women.
Caitlan Moran in How to be a Woman asks the respondents to these surveys:
"What part of 'liberation for women' is not for you? Is it freedom to vote? The right not to be owned by the man you marry? 'Vogue' by Madonna? Jeans? Did all that good shit GET ON YOUR NERVES? Or were you just DRUNK AT THE TIME OF THE SURVEY?"
Somewhere along the way being a feminist has become associated with hating on men, rather than being equal with them. So, I can see why women like Marissa Mayer, who work in male dominated professions, simply cannot afford to attract the label of 'feminist'. After all, success doesn't come to the woman who throws her hand up in the air and says 'look at me, look at me, I'm a man-hater'.
But even beyond the corporate world and in our day-to-day social interactions, calling yourself a feminist triggers eye rolling, grimaces and complaints of political correctness having gone too far.
'Feminist' is a term that teenagers use to insult each other. What's even worse is that we are now seeing women use their rejection of the feminist label as a way to endear themselves to men. Refusing to characterise yourself as a feminist has become code for saying "I'm all for equal rights and stuff but not in a scary threatening way cos' I think boys are just the bees knees." Calling yourself a 'non-feminist' is just another way of being more alluring.
Jezebel's Katie Baker says that "the goal of the movement is equal opportunity, not gratitude and actions speak louder than words." She argues that it doesn't matter if Marissa Mayer doesn't consider herself to be a feminist because Mayer can still be a feminist role model.
I disagree. I want to know when we decided that it was okay to enjoy all the benefits of equal rights while disassociating ourselves from those who fought for those rights in the first place?
As a single, working woman in 2012, I stand on the shoulders of giants. I stand on the shoulders of the women who went before me. And I am grateful to them.
I am grateful to the women who fought for my right to vote, to open a bank account, to own property and to order my own goddamn drink at a bar.
I am grateful to the women who said I should be able to keep my own name if I want to, the women who got rid of the 'obey' part in marriage vows, the women who said my life could be about more than a clean house and a well set table.
I am grateful to the women who were called evil, who were called baby killers and who were called witches. The women who took all of that crap, so that my girlfriends and I could control and make choices about our own bodies.
I am grateful to the women whose fight won me the right to marry the person I love and start a family, while still being allowed to pursue a career outside the home.
And what I fear more than anything else is that the women of future generations will not have anything more to be grateful for. I fear that the young women of 2062 will look back on me and my generation and wonder why we dropped the ball.
Because as far as we have come – there is still a huge way to go.
Women still earn around 80 cents for every dollar that men earn over a lifetime. And this isn't just about who has the bits that make the babies. Australian women earn less from the very first year after they graduate from university and TAFE.
Women still carry the burden of around two thirds of unpaid work and caring duties.
Women are almost 51 per cent of the population and yet we hold less than 30 per cent of elected positions in the federal Parliament. We hold 8 per cent of board directorships and 10 per cent of executive management positions.
Nearly one in five of us will experience sexual assault, one in three will experience some kind of family or domestic violence in our lifetimes.
We earn less, we are heard less and we are hurt more.
And all of this pales in comparison, to the women around the world who still do not share the basic rights, safety, freedoms and equalities that here in Australia we all take for granted.
To every woman still reading my rant, I say this: Yes, you are a feminist. All that little word means is that you believe in women's equality with men. It's not scary, it's simple.
So let's stop wasting our time 'reclaiming' words like c*#t and start reclaiming a word that really matters.
And let's start doing that today.
Feminism is ours. It is an ideal, a thought, a vision that was designed by our mothers and our grandmothers and our great grandmothers, but it is still relevant today. It isn't something we should take for granted and it isn't something we should forget.
Let's not let feminism become a dirty word on our watch.
Let's give our daughters and grand daughters something to be proud of too.
And while I'm at it, I will add this.
Girls – your boyfriend should be a feminist. So should your husband and your brother and your mates and your son. Because just like I can be a supporter of the civil rights movement and not be black, they can be feminists without being women.
My name is Jamila. I'm an ordinary gen Y woman. I shave my legs, I own red lipstick, I wear 5-inch heels. I love my job and I love men – from the one who fathered me, to the ones I live with, to the one I want to share my life with. I'm a feminist and proud of it.
And you should be too.

Education for All week in Yemen brings teachers on board
This years theme Every Child Needs a Teacher strikes a major chord in Yemen, where the number of teachers lags far behind the actual requirements. Meeting the looming teacher shortage is one of the greatest barriers to education in Yemen, where the number of female teachers is especially short, particularly in rural areas.
Achieving universal primary education by 2015 is a UN-set Millennium Development Goal, one that governments, UNICEF and its partners are working towards around the world.
Despite Yemens commitment of energy and resources, the countrys primary school enrolment rate is only 46 per cent and the number out-of-school girls in rural areas is close to 70 per cent. The task is a large one, and national leadership must mobilize and support all partners to realize childrens right to education. The Ministry of Education, UNICEF and partners are working to achieve universal access to primary education, increase girls enrolment and improve the quality of basic education.
The Ministry of Education and UNICEF have stepped up efforts to support Education for All by giving priority to basic education and gender equity programmes, focusing on the countrys most vulnerable groups. UNICEF supports Yemens Basic Education Development strategy and emphasizes accelerating girls education through a novel approach in six Governorates: Sanaa, Hodaida, Abyan, Lahej Dahle. There, the Ministry of Education and UNICEF are conducting a series of district workshops to help communities and community leaders find ways to overcome barriers and challenges to girls education. The workshops are designed to stimulate active roles of people with influence, teachers, religious leaders and parents to help them understand the issues that impact girls education and generate an increase in girls enrolment and retention in schools.
Yemen is involved the UN Girls Education Initiative (www.ungei.org), a lynchpin of efforts to achieve education for all, and urgent efforts to promote girls education are needed. UNICEF is mobilizing the media and has supported field visits by journalists to create awareness on gender parity and barriers to education.
In a practical demonstration of its commitment to the issue regionally, UNICEF is supporting the meeting of the Second Arab Media Forum in Dubai from 2-4 May on the Rights of the Child, where girls education will be in sharp focus. Leading media representatives from the Middle East and North Africa will discuss the situation of girls education in the Arab World in terms of enrolment, drop-out rates and social factors that influence girls education. A team of Yemeni journalists will participate in the Forum and share stories from the field.
Education for All week is a GCE and UNESCO effort to drum up support for the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education and takes place from 24-30 April. Globally, an estimated 115 million children are not in school; the majority are girls. Getting more girls into school is an essential step towards transforming the dream of universal education into a reality.
About UNICEF:
For 60 years UNICEF has been the worlds leader for children, working on the ground in 155 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The worlds largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.
