The Mindful Lawyer
Jim, a litigator with a busy practice, spends 20 minutes each morning practicing something called mindfulness meditation. He sits upright—sometimes on a meditation cushion and sometimes on a chair. He has no particular agenda for these sessions—he simply follows his breath as it flows in and out. As he sits today, thoughts come up about strategy options in one of his cases. Jim simply notices that he is thinking about this and then watches the movement of his thoughts as if they were clouds in the sky. When he realizes his thinking has moved from his breath, he once again simply follows its flow. At the conclusion of his session, he gets up and takes a moment to appreciate the sunrise before eating breakfast.
When Jim gets to the office, he uses the minute it takes his computer to boot up to sit in his chair and look at the sky outside his office window. Then he launches into his day. Later in the morning, Jim takes a call from an especially difficult opposing counsel. His adversary quickly begins to rip into Jim, and Jim flares into attack mode. As he notices this, he becomes aware that he is clenching his jaw and holding his breath, which prompts him to notice that he is feeling angry. Jim takes a moment or two to breathe, then defuses the contentious conversation by suggesting they both put their respective positions in writing before they consult again.
In the afternoon, Jim has a scheduled meeting with a very anxious and depressed client. When the receptionist advises Jim that she has arrived, he decides not to rush out to meet her immediately; instead, he sits for a minute and follows his breath. When he goes to greet the client, he feels centered and calm. He is aware that his presence and his presentation will have an impact on how the client relates to him. From time to time during their meeting, Jim becomes aware that he is making negative judgments about the client's personality. He simply notes his judgments and brings his attention back to her, once again listening closely.
After a tough day at the office, Jim arrives at home. He is aware as he pulls into the garage that he is still thinking about work. He sits in his car for a minute or so, noticing his body and his breath and letting go of his thoughts. He enters the house ready to be at home and present for his family.
An Ancient Solution Updated
Interest in meditation is growing in the United States as individuals look for ways to ground themselves in an increasingly fast-paced and stressful culture. Meditation has been featured on the cover of Time magazine and the front page of The Wall Street Journal. The Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers, under the guidance of Coach Phil Jackson, have used meditation to enhance their performance on the basketball court. Major corporations offer courses in meditation to their employees as a tool to help reduce stress and enhance performance and job satisfaction. Health care providers increasingly use meditation and other mind/body practices as alternative treatments for ailments as diverse as arthritis and alcoholism. The time is right for lawyers, too, to utilize meditation to help them respond more constructively to the stresses of law practice and to function at their highest level.
The particular style of meditation described in the introduction to this article is mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness is at thecore of Buddhist meditative traditions more than 2,000 years old. The essence of mindfulness, however, is completely secular. It can be practiced in any context, by members of any religion, philosophy, or belief system, or of none.
Mindfulness involves deliberately paying attention in the present moment, without the usual judgments that humans make about our experience.A great deal of energy and attention is regularly focused on thoughts and feelings about the past or future. Lawyers are especially accustomed to worrying about the implications of past decisions or events, or to feeling anxiety about possible future events that may affect their clients, themselves, or their practice. In mindfulness, attention is directed at what is happening right here and right now.
By being mindful of thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and interactions with others, people are less likely to be carried away by them. Paying attention in this way helps individuals experience their lives more directly and fully and to feel more connected to others. Mindfulness can enhance creative potential and the ability to respond to the demands of the moment.
Although mindfulness can be practiced informally throughout the day, it is enhanced and supported by the formal practice of meditation. There is nothing mystical or exotic about meditation. Forget the stereotyped images of monks in robes or people gazing at candles. You can practice meditation in business attire, sitting in your office chair.
Lessons from Hospitals and Laboratories
You needn't take it on faith that mindfulness and meditation yield positive benefits. Science and medicine are validating the link between these practices and improved health. For the past 25 years, Jon Kabat-Zinn and his colleagues at the Center for Mindfulness (CFM) at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center have used mindfulness and meditation to help patients with chronic pain and stress. The model pioneered by Kabat-Zinn is called mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and employs formal seated meditation, mindful yoga, and daily exercises in mindfulness during an eight-week period.
Thousands of patients with diverse conditions such as cancer, heart disease, anxiety disorder, chronic back pain, headaches, and depression have completed the MBSR program at the CFM. Many of these patients had not been able to obtain relief through traditional medicine. Kabat-Zinn and his colleagues have published a number of papers in peer-reviewed medical journals and in textbooks that establish the significant reduction in pain and stress symptoms patients experience from using the MBSR program. The model has spread throughout the country and the world and is utilized by numerous clinics at medical facilities.
Recently, Richard Davidson, director of the Lab for Affective Neuroscience and Waisman Lab for Brain Imaging and Behavior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, published research that documented the remarkable effects of meditation on the brain and on the immune system. Davidson, in collaboration with Kabat-Zinn, studied two groups of employees at a Wisconsin workplace. One group went through an eight-week MBSR course and the other did not. Davidson performed brain scans on both groups before the course started, at its conclusion, and four months after conclusion. All participants in the study received a flu vaccine at the conclusion of the course. Davidson and his colleagues drew the participants' blood in order to measure immune response three to five weeks after the vaccine and again eight to nine weeks after the conclusion of the course.
The brain scans performed before the MBSR course showed no statistical difference between the two groups in EEG activation in the area of the brain associated with positive emotions. Four months after the end of the course, however, the meditation group showed significantly elevated levels in this area of the brain. In addition, the meditation group showed a markedly higher immune response to the flu vaccine than the group of non-meditators.
Mindful Lawyering
The idea that lawyers would be drawn to the practice of meditation may seem counter-intuitive, but I have learned through personal experience that lawyers have a natural affinity for it. I have trained in Zen meditation for many years and find that it helps me stay balanced amid the stresses and strains of lawyering. In 2003 I followed my intuition and offered a series of mindfulness meditation classes, based loosely on the MBSR model, at my then-current, large Minneapolis law firm. I had no idea what type of response I would get from a fairly traditional institution, but one day later I had 17 lawyers signed up for the eight-week course. I eventually taught three cycles of the course; approximately one-third of the firm's lawyers either participated or expressed interest in doing so. This suggested to me that there is a deep hunger within our profession for balance and nourishment at a fundamental level.
A number of factors inherent in law practice make mindfulness and meditation particularly well suited to lawyers.
• Lawyers suffer from stress-related health conditions at an alarmingly high rate. We are two to three times more likely to become depressed or chemically dependent than the average adult. Cultivating a habit with proven links to the reduction of the negative effects of stress makes good sense. Lawyers need to take a more proactive interest in their own health.
• Lawyers are highly goal oriented. We measure ourselves, sometimes relentlessly. Mindfulness goes beyond success and failure. Meditation practice has no expectations of outcome; the goal is simply to be. The process itself is the goal: being fully present regardless of daily experience. Lawyers can benefit from regularly setting aside a mind consumed by winning and losing.
• Lawyers are driven by time. We are chronically on deadline and overbooked. We record our time in fractions of an hour in order to establish our incomes. Mindfulness meditation affords an opportunity to experience time in a completely different, non-linear way. When consciousness rests in the present moment, our sense of time can drop away.
• Lawyers tend to be judgmental. Although this is a necessary skill in our profession, it can be corrosive when turned on ourselves or others. Mindfulness meditation encourages the cultivation of a deep acceptance of things as they are, instead of our habitual judgment of our experience. This does not mean that the mindful lawyer stops being a zealous and effective advocate—many famous Zen masters were renowned for their ferocious presence. The practice of loosening judgment's hold can help develop qualities that are diminished or have been neglected: wisdom, tolerance, and compassion.
• Lawyers are trained to think their way out of problems. Our ability to construct compelling arguments is a wonderful skill, but not all of our problems can be solved by thinking and arguing. Mindfulness meditation draws on innate awareness that is prior to thinking and language.
Lawyers across the country are beginning to recognize the benefits of mindfulness meditation. An organization called the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society ( http://contemplativemind.org/programs/law) has been sponsoring meditation retreats for lawyers, law students, judges, and professors for a number of years. These retreats bring together legal professionals from across the country to meditate and engage in mindful dialogue about the profession. At least 11 American law schools have offered meditation courses or workshops for students and faculty. Harvard Law School sponsored a major symposium on mindfulness. These are just a sampling of the connections that are being made between the disciplines of law and meditation.
Getting Started
If you are interested in taking up the practice of mindfulness meditation, try to find an instructor. MBSR classes can be found in many communities—run a search online using the name of the closest city and the word mindfulness. Many meditation centers exist throughout the United States, and most offer some type of meditation instruction—often in conjunction with Buddhist traditions and thought. Even if you are not interested in the spiritual practices, you can still benefit from learning the meditation techniques. If you cannot locate an MBSR class or meditation center near you, try some reading (see the sidebar "Further Resources" below for some references to Jon Kabat-Zinn's writings) and practice on your own. But be careful—peace of mind may be addictive.
Breath Meditation
Sit on a chair with your spine straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the floor. If you can, sit a bit forward on the chair instead of using its back to support you. Align your head so that it is not bent toward your back or nodding forward. Close your eyes or leave them open just slightly. Become aware of the sensation of your body sitting on the chair and notice any other physical sensations that arise, without trying to change anything. Pay attention to your breath as it moves in and out of the body (there is no need to breathe in any special way). If you like, you can silently say the words "in" and "out" as you breathe. You may also wish to direct your attention to the place in the body where your breath is most pronounced—this might be in the rising and falling of your belly, expansion and contraction of your rib cage, or the sensation of air moving in and out at the tip of your nose. When your mind wanders, simply notice that you are thinking, without judging whether you are succeeding or failing, and then gently direct your attention back to your breath.
Walking Meditation
You can practice mindfulness meditation while walking to and from anywhere—even the bathroom. Walk a little more slowly than your normal pace—not enough to be noticed but just enough to be more aware of your movements. As you walk, notice your breathing and also the sensation of your feet on the floor. Continue your awareness of the breath while you are in the bathroom. You can also be aware of the sound of water coming out of the faucet and the sensation of it on your hands as you wash. Return to your desk at this slightly slower pace, paying attention to your feet and breath until you resume your previous activity.

If you're a seafood lover like me, fried calamari is one of your favorite appetizers. I always order it at restaurants, and as I bite into each awesome morsel I wonder how hard it would be to make them at home.
Turns out, it's pretty freaking easy. I found a package of frozen calamari at Wegmans and sliced them up, fried them, and served them with some homemade garlic aoili (also surprisingly simple to make!)

While there are several streaming applications in the Android Marketplace, I like the one called StreamFurious. It's pretty easy to install, just follow these steps....
1. Open the Android Marketplace application on your phone:
- you need a data connection of some type: (over the air, 3g or wifi)
- if you have never used the market place before, you will need to create a Google account before you can proceed
You'll be presented with a screen showing some information about StreamFurious, along with user ratings and a button to install it.
3. Go ahead and tap the Install button to get it. When prompted, confirm that you want to proceed.
4. When the installation is complete, you can open your application list and start StreamFurious. Accept the user agreement, and when it finishes loading, it will present you with a listing of existing feeds. Tap the Menu button on your phone, and tap the "More Stations" option.
5. On the more stations screen, tap the icon that will take you to "Shoutcast.com" This will load the web browser on your phone, and take you to the Shoutcast home page. You can search for KAXE on this page, and Shoutcast will find two results: the first entry is a high quality stream and the second one is a low quality stream.
- choose the high quality stream if you want to listen via a 3G or wifi connection
- choose the low quality stream if you don't have 3G or wifi handy when you want to listen
Sound Quality
I think the high bitrate feed sounds like an FM signal would on most portable devices. The low bitrate feed sounds just fine for voice content, but leaves a little to be desired for music. As long as you are in an area that has good cell service, the stream seems to keep clear and constant.
Battery Consumption
Streaming KAXE (or any audio feed) is going to suck the juice out of your battery. So, don't expect to listen to KAXE for hours on end. I can get a couple of hours on my battery, maybe a little more if I have a strong signal.
Stay In Touch
StreamFurious is the perfect way to listen to KAXE on the road when you are not in the Northland. If you have a car charger for your phone, or an AC charger in the hotel, you do not have to worry about battery life.
Streaming on the iPhone?
Do you stream KAXE on your iPhone? If so, can you give our readers some advice on a good application to use? Post your suggestions here.
Have a big day.

February 19, 2013 09:00 ET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 19, 2013) - Digital entertainment publisher NARR8 announces today the launch of the NARR8 application on Android™ smartphones and tablets. NARR8 is a free application available worldwide that delivers explosive and original multimedia series in the form of dynamic motion comics and engaging, interactive series across an extensive offering of content genres. The app offers a huge variety of compelling fiction and nonfiction, all of which springs to life with a tap of the touch screen, adding lively animations, special effects, and full music soundtracks that take the experience of reading stories to an entirely new level. Currently, NARR8's creative content studios have already created motion comics, interactive novels, and interactive nonfiction articles in such genres as superhero comics, sci-fi, fantasy, video games, and horror, along with popular science and world history -- with many more additional series in completely new genres to come.
"With the launch of NARR8 in November of last year, we saw great success and reception from within the iOS community. Quickly, however, we discovered that many people who did not own an iPad® device were eagerly awaiting our launch on other platforms. And so, we are pleased to join the rapidly growing Android community, and are planning to grow even further in the next few months," said Alexander Vashchenko, founder of NARR8.
NARR8 uses a proprietary HTML5 engine that pushes the boundaries of the reading experience. Devices running Android 4.0 or higher will be able to experience this seamless integration of high-quality art, animation, and sound in each series. Series content is presented in constantly updated, episodic format, with the most recent addition being an official adaptation of bestselling fantasy author Vadim Panov's "The Secret City." As an interactive reading experience with elements of gamification, "The Secret City" not only expands upon the technological capabilities of NARR8, but also broadens the app's already-extensive catalogue as the first series adapted from an existing intellectual property. The Android application will initially launch with motion comic content, and will be updated with the remaining series content shortly afterwards in the next few weeks.
To download the latest information and assets, as well as an all-new video vignette showcasing the new Android™ application, please visit: http://ftp.narr8.me/pub/ENG/
NARR8 is free to download through Google Play.

Anticipating a bad review.jmarie Feb 21, 2012 4:37 PM
We recently had three guests in our vacation rental and are anticipating a lousy review. First let me say we have been very fortunate with the caliber of guests we have had to date. All, save one 4 star rating, of our 32 reviews have been 5 out of 5 stars. With that said, here is our story.
Upon being told that the gentleman joining the two women here was 87 years old my husband made sure to relay that the rental has a spiral staircase which leads to the entrance. We were assured it would be no problem. More on this later.
They arrived here with no food due to having no time to shop. We offer bottles of wine for sale and they agreed to the $14.00 price as well as asking for a carton of our milk they could have for coffee in the morning. Later they requested we drive them to the nearest restaurant which is only a 5 minute walk. The only transportation we include is pickup and drop off at the pier upon arrival on our small island. We said we would do it this time. They then asked if I could pick them up when finished. I hesitated but then said yes if they could call around 8:30 as we retire around 9pm. They called at 9:45 and I waited for another 10 minutes as they merrily made their way down the steps. The following morning they wanted to go into the city for food shopping and requested we drive the 87 year old to breakfast and back as he did not wish to walk. We figured this would be it so, again, acquiesced. Neither time did they offer a small payment or tip.
The next request was to allow them admittance into our home for all of their comings and goings as he did not like going down the spiral stairs. Our home is located next door separated by locked and bolted double doors. I said I was sorry but this is our private home and we do not allow guests access. She did not look pleased.
The day prior to their departure I totaled up the bill ($19.00) which included a slice of homemade key lime pie and gave it to them. I was paid the price with a slight 5% tip included. Upon their leaving there was no thank you so much for all of your help, only an over the shoulder as she was leaving "thanks" from the woman who requested access to our home.
She just sent an email which is inquiring as to the return of the "refundable" dog deposit, which we are returning, as well as the return of the 5% tip. I am in shock. My main concern is the probable poor review. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Public Library in Grocery Store

- Comotara Branch Library of Wichita (Kan.) Public Library - Inside Dillons Market (Near Floral Department) -- See the September 22, 1996 Victoria Advocate news story, One-stop shop includes a library in Unity, Pa. by Martin Sloane, for his Supermarket Shopper column, via the Google News Archive, which was about the then newly-opened Unity Library branch of the Adams Memorial Library in Latrobe, PA, being in the Shop N Save Supermarket at Route 30 Shopping Plaza. The Unity Library branch has since moved out of the supermarket and is now at the Unity Township Municipal Building, but the article included information on what was the first library branch in a grocery store, the Comotora Branch Library in the Dillons supermarket of Wichita, Kansas, which is still open.

AT THE RECENT hearings before the Transportation Authority of Marin board, Caltrans and the Twin Cities' city councils on the Highway 101/Greenbrae Improvement Project, there was a large turnout of Corte Madera and Larkspur residents who were overwhelmingly opposed to the project as it is currently proposed.
The proposed massive flyover — new onramps and offramps at Wornum Drive — and 16 lanes of concrete would be an eyesore and destroy views, increase noise and bring more traffic to the local streets.
It would also create even more of a barrier between our neighborhoods on the east and west side of Highway 101.
The project is being proposed mainly to solve a weaving problem on southbound Highway 101 at Fifer and is overkill. Even with 16 lanes of concrete it will not increase capacity and the cost is a whopping $143 million.
The project would also effectively kill the North-South Greenway. The Greenway is included in the general plans for Corte Madera, Larkspur and Marin and is the first choice of every agency that has looked at it.
The Greenway project would be a safe and separate bike/pedestrian path that would follow the old railway right of way from Wornum Drive, curve along the Shorebird Marsh and then run parallel to the freeway. It would be a level route to the Larkspur Ferry, the Cal Park Tunnel and the Corte Madera neighborhoods to the south.
The Greenway is equally as spectacular as the bike path from Mill Valley to Sausalito. Wornum Drive connects the Sandra Marker Trail to the Greenway. The proposed new onramps and offramps along Wornum would make safe passage for pedestrians and bikes impossible.
A number of concerned residents have formed Marin Deserves Better because we believe that there is a much better alternative than what is now being proposed.
The alternative is simple.
Keep the good elements of the project that are workable. Southbound this might include widening the southbound onramp from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and installing pylons so that cars coming south on 101 from the north cannot get off on Fifer Avenue. Northbound this might include removing the Lucky Drive off-ramp and replacing it with an off-ramp at Wornum. The existing pedestrian overcrossing at Lucky Drive would remain.
What would be deleted is the huge southbound flyover and the doubling of the width of freeway at Wornum. This would bring the costs way down and leave enough money to complete the North-South Greenway.
A safe and separate link between Sandra Marker Trail and the Greenway could be accomplished with two under-crossings along Wornum Drive, one below Tamal Vista and one below Redwood Highway. Undercrossings are much better than elevated overcrossings because they do not require much change in elevation, making them easier to navigate for children and seniors. Undercrossings are quiet and removed from the noise and speeding cars roaring along the freeway.
They can be engineered to work below sea level and would work even with the rising water levels from global warming. They are used all over the Netherlands in below sea level conditions so there is plenty of engineering history to draw from.
Finding a middle ground that includes less freeway and concrete and the opening of the North-South Greenway would save a great deal of money and bring our bayside and hillside communities together.
We would have a real improvement that all of Marin could be proud of and a gift to future generations. Visit our Facebook page at Marin Deserves Better for more information.

Dutch improve to 2-0 with 44-6 win over Lions
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch football team raised their record to 2-0 on the season with a 44-6 victory over the Clarion-Limestone Lions in a game played at Dutch Country Stadium on Elementary Night.Elementary Night was interrupted by lightning with 8:20 to go in the first quarter. Each time lightning was spotted, a 25-minute delay occurred. The delay began at 7:07 p.m., with the game resuming at 8:23 p.m. The stands were also cleared due to the lightning.Once play resumed, St. Marys needed three plays for quarterback David Aul to find Justin Quiggle in the endzone for a six-yard touchdown. The PAT by Scott Barber made the score 7-0 with 7:15 left to go in the first period."This was a very good team effort tonight," said Dutch coach Joe Schlimm. "We stayed together and dealt with the adversity of the weather delay.""We are a humble team. We played well together as a team and now we have to get ready for Punxsy. We're really looking forward to getting on the road," Schlimm added.The Crusaders were led offensively by Cody Baker, who gained 176 yards on 13 carries. He also scored three touchdowns. Brian Merritt gained 96 yards on seven carries, while Justin Quiggle had 90 yards on 11 carries. Clarion-Limestone was led by Kaiben Smith with 93 yards on two carries. Joe Tommasi finished with 24 yards on six carries. Quarterback Billy Kelley was six of 13 for 43 yards. Quarterback Christian Bakewell was two of three for 38 yards.After C-L punted, the Dutch took over on their own 23. A facemask penalty against the Dutch moved the ball back to the 15. Merritt broke free for 25 yards and a first down at the 41. Baker picked up 14 to the C-L 45. Merritt then went around right end for a 45-yard romp as the Dutch went up 14-0 on a two-point conversion by Baker with 5:18 left in the first period.On the ensuing kickoff, the C-L kick returner caught the ball on the 12-yard line and was ruled out of bounds. Two plays later, Dutchman Luke Schreiber recovered a fumble on the 12. On first down, Baker scored from 12 yards out on first down, as St. Marys went up 21-0 on Barber's PAT with 4:55 left in the first period.Again, C-L was forced to punt on their next possession. The punt traveled eight yards, with the Dutch taking over on their own 35. Baker gained two on first down, with Quiggle getting two more on second down. Merritt gained 16 to the 15 on third down. On first down, Baker broke through the middle for the touchdown, as St. Marys led 28-0 with Barber's PAT with 1:15 left in the first period.Neither team could mount much of an offense threat on the next several series. C-L recovered a Dutch football on their own two. On first down, the Lions fumbled but recovered in their own endzone for a safety, making the score 30-0 in favor of the Dutch with 6:14 left in the first half.Neither team scored the remainder of the half, as St. Marys led 30-0 at halftime.St. Marys took the second half kickoff and marched 66 yards, with Baker going most of it on a 59-yard run to the Lions' one-yard line. An illegal block penalty moved it back to the 15. Five plays later, Baker scored from a yard out to make the score 37-0 with Barber's PAT, with 9:21 left to start the mercy rule.The Dutch had a second down and 10 on the first play of the fourth quarter. Evan Gabor gained 14 to the 11. He gained seven to the four on the next play. Robbie Glass scored three to the one. Gabor scored from a yard out, making the score 44-0 with Barber's PAT, with 10:14 left on a running clock. Clarion-Limestone would score on a 90-yard running play to make the score 44-6 with St. Marys on top.The game was called with 3:20 left in the contest due to a large lightning display to which the crowd reacted as St. Marys won 44-6.Game notesSt. Marys is now 2-0 on the season. They are 1-0 in the KSAC Large School Division.St. Marys travels to Punxsutawney next Friday night for a KSAC Large School contest with the Chucks. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m.The following were made happy by the Quarterback Club's Pass For Cash: Mary Jo Hillebrand, Tom and Sherry, Russ Thompson, Steve Aul, Mac Schreiber, Ed Calla, Marie Aul, Steve Regulski, Gary Tamburlin, Nancy DaMore.

It was all about the couch. Reaction was plenty upbeat for James Macdonald's direction of "Drunk Enough to Say I Love You?," the political satire by Caryl Churchill that recently played the Public. But people really went bananas over the floating couch on which the entire play was staged.
Macdonald, whose Manhattan Theater Club revival of Churchill's "Top Girls" bows May 7, is appreciative but wants it known that, "It's now over with me and couches."
The former associate director of London's Royal Court has a history with couches. In "Dying City," he caused one to migrate around the room to signify the uncertainty of relationships. In "A Number" (also by Churchill), he collaborated with set designer Eugene Lee on a way to examine the characters "in scientific, almost forensic detail" so auds "would be looking down on two guys on a couch that was like an operating table."
Macdonald would now like to apply his passion for new forms to the classics. Restoration comedy, perhaps, or Greek tragedy. "After 15 years of doing new plays, the world of classical theater is looking like a great big sweet shop to me," he says.

While at Bryn Mawr the student must complete all college-wide requirements and the basis of a major in the Growth and Structure of Cities Program. The student applies to the M.C.P. program at Penn in her junior year. GRE scores will be required for the application. Students are encouraged to prepare for the program by completing both URBS 204 and URBS 440 before entering the program. No courses taken prior to official acceptance into the M.C.P. program may be counted toward the master's degree, and no more than eight courses may be double-counted toward both the A.B. and the M.C.P. after acceptance. For further information students should consult Carola Hein early in their sophomore year.

Our customers security is very important. The Finchley Clinic Ltd does not store or have access to your card details at any point, even where we need to issue a refund.
We use Sagepay to securely handle all our transactions. Sagepay have now merged with their main UK competitor, Worldpay. Before they merged, Sagepay and Worldpay were the two largest independent Payment Service Providers in the UK, providing secure online credit card and debit card payment solutions for thousands of online and mail order businesses across the UK. Now merged, they are by far the largest single provider. The chances are that if you have used the Internet before to purchase goods in the UK, you have used Sagepay or Worldpay, regardless of whether this was obvious during the checkout process.
We also offer payments via PayPal with whom most people are already familiar. However, even where the customer selects Paypal the transactions still go through Sagepay security as well (yes, it's a bit weird, but that's how it works). That's why we said "We use Sagepay to securely handle all our transactions." Cutting a long story short, both Sagepay and PayPal, have massive reputations to live up to, and we feel safe using them for processing your orders.

Featured Article: Fast CSV Import in PowerShell to SQL Server
I recently had to write some simple scripts for a proof of concept. These scripts use PowerShell to import and export CSV files from SQL Server. The scripts were simple to write and maintain but were slow. It turns out there are a few ways to improve CSV import and export performance in PowerShell.

Dynamic SQL allows stored procedures to "write" or dynamically generate their SQL statements. The most common use case for dynamic SQL is stored procedures with optional parameters in the WHERE clause. These are typically called from reports or screens that have multiple, optional search criteria. This article describes how to write these types of stored procedures so they execute well and resist SQL injection attacks.

We've all had them. One of those stored procedures that is huge and contains complex
business logic which may or may not be executed. These procedures make it an absolute
nightmare when it comes to debugging problems because they're so complex and have
so many logic offshoots that it's very easy to get lost when you're trying to determine
the path that the procedure code took when it ran. Fortunately Profiler lets you
define custom events that you can raise in your code and capture in a trace so you
get a better window into the sub events occurring in your code. I found it very
useful to use custom events and a database snapshot to debug some code recently
and we'll explore both in this article. I find raising these events and running
Profiler to be very useful for testing my stored procedures on my own as well as
when my code is going through official testing and user acceptance. It's a simple
approach and a great way to catch any performance problems or logic errors.

Reviewed By Levi R (Wichita, KS) Reviewed for a 1997 Saturn S-Series —11/23/2011 1:30 PM
I recently ordered a Covercraft Multibond Car Cover, custom fit for my 1997 Saturn SL2. I immediately decided to install the cover...it fit perfectly! I put a hole where my antenna was and installed the included grommets (which are extremely tight, and won't come off). I have no access to a garage, so my car must sit outside all day, every day. And although this isn't as good as a garage, it's the next best thing. Recommended.

In preparation for NeoCon, I got the chance to talk with industrial designer, John Kaloustian, about his latest seating collection for Grand Rapids Chair, called Reece.
Kaloustian, an accomplished industrial designer from Detroit, designed Reece for commercial dining spaces. Reece features a separate wood seat and back, steel frame, and exposed mechanisms like bolts and fasteners.
One look at Reece and you'll notice a distinct sense of nostalgia. Kaloustian warmly describes Reece as "honest," and we couldn't agree more. Take a look at the rest of the interview to learn the story behind Reece.
JK: It is important to consider where a chair is used. In a restaurant or dining setting, the chair scale is often smaller and the weight should be on the lighter side to easily slide a chair in and out from a table. The appearance of strength is important so that a user feels there is a quality of support without any compromise.
AR: I like how most of your furniture designs feature playful shapes, yet you have such a pragmatic and diligent approach to design. Would you agree and expand on that interesting juxtaposition?
JK: I believe it is necessary that a chair should first be comfortable for its designated use. We must consider whether it is for short or long term use, and whether it needs to be cleaned frequently. Next, it should offer a sense of personality that will enhance the environment where it is used, and give a dining space a more memorable experience.
JK: In the past, I rented space in a printing shop and I remember liking the simplicity and comfort of the factory chairs around the facility. While these chairs were not modern darlings of design, this type of seating was honest in appearance, durable, comfortable, and simple to fabricate.
JK: Factory seating often has a separate seat and back, along with more exposed mechanisms. That's why Reece uses a simple back bracket and rubber disks to add back flex while a modern chair may try to hide a spring.
JK: I think many of us like the style of old homes and refurbished lofts, since there is a nostalgia for the past, as architects and builders used quality materials. New spaces are striving to convey this same affection. I live in a Tudor revival home from the 1920's which shows influence back to the middle ages of English architecture. Today, new homes gain inspiration from Tudor revivals of the 1920's. Architecture, fashion, products, and color often look to the past to help evolve the future. Fabrication and materials are more interesting when they display a quality of craft in appearance.
JK: Based on how the chair is used, a handle is a big benefit to move the chair in and out from a table. As the back attachment evolved, I found that extending the back bracket out more created a solution that integrated a handle.
The Reece Collection will debut at NeoCon 2016 and is available to order July 11, 2016. See Reece in our LookBook Vol. 2 here .

There are scant data for second-line TB drugs in children and there is very little to guide use of even first-line ones in neonates and infants with low birth weight.
There is also a need to ensure that any new developments for adults are speedily tested for paediatric use. Three presentations at the 43rd Union World Conference presented findings from pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluations of TB drugs in children and a novel approach to paediatric drug development.1-3
There is virtually no data on second-line TB drug dosing in children. Child friendly formulations are not usually available and the doses using divided and/or crushed tablets are uncertain. PK data on which to base optimal dosing is lacking. Also, second-line drugs are more toxic than those used in first line treatment and adverse events are hard to monitor in children. TB drugs are also frequently used with antiretrovirals in TB/HIV coinfected children.
Annekke Hessling from the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, University of Stellenbosch, Cape Town, described a large ongoing study to characterise PK and toxicity of second-line TB drugs for treatment and prevention of drug resistant TB in HIV positive and negative children, by age and HIV status. She presented preliminary data for three second-line TB drugs: ethionamide, amikacin and ofloxacin.
This ambitious study will be running over the next five years with an enrollment target of 276 children. Age matched HIV positive children not on TB treatment will be enrolled as controls (42 receiving efavirenz and 22 lopinavir/r). The drugs under evaluation are: ethionamide, terizidone, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, amikacin, high dose isoniazid (INH), PAS, linezolid and capreomycin. The study includes intensive PK sampling, clinical follow up until treatment completion for children with active TB, cross sectional PK data from children receiving prophylaxis and toxicity monitoring.
Dr Hessling presented data from HIV positive and negative children, receiving routine treatment or prophylaxis for MDR TB, from December 2011 to September 2011. Children with severe anaemia (Hb <8g/dL) and/or weighing <5 kg were excluded.
Directly observed, exact doses were administered using the upper limit of the recommended doses following a standard breakfast: ethionamide 20 mg/kg (recommended dose 15-20 mg/kg/day), amikacin 20 mg/kg (15-22.5 or 30 mg/kg/day) and ofloxacin (15-20 mg/kg/day). Intensive sampling was performed at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post dose and C-max, T-max, AUC0-8 and t1/2 were compared to adult targets.
Seventy children (46 with TB disease and 24 receiving prophylaxis) were in the study group. Respectively, 12, 15 and 19 children in the disease group were age <2, 2-5 and 6-15 years. Only children < 5 years are prophylaxed for TB, of these 6 were <2 and 18 were 2-5 years old. Overall, 12 (26.7%) children in the TB disease group were HIV positive and receiving ART. About 70% of the children with TB disease had pulmonary TB and the remainder had extra pulmonary TB or both.
The PK evaluation for ethionamide, revealed HIV negative children with higher C-max in the 0-2 years age group than the other two groups (median 7.66 vs approximately 5 ug/mL) but this was not significant; T-max peaked sooner and achieved higher target levels earlier (mean 1.80 hours vs 3.15 in the oldest age group, p=0.001), although overall exposure (AUC) was similar across age groups. HIV positive children had lower levels than HIV negative ones (median 4.86 vs 6.37 ug.h/mL, p=0.051). Dr Hessling noted that a larger sample size would probably show lower AUC as well. She described the finding that younger children peaked higher and earlier as "quite surprising" as the only other study that has looked at ethionamide PK in children by age group showed the opposite, she suggested that this might be due to crushing the tablets. The lower levels seen with HIV positive children compared to negative is consistent with that observed previously. Although adult targets are unclear, the MIC achieved in children was similar or above that of adults.
For amakacin, Cmax was lower in the youngest group than the other two (median 43.65 vs approximately 49 μg/mL), T-max was lower (mean 1.00 vs approximately 1.13 hours) and AUC lower (median 103.85 vs 159.25 ug.h/mL in the oldest group, p=0.016). Levels did not differ by HIV status. At a dose of 20 mg/kg per day all children exceeded the adult target (Cmax 35-40 ug/mL). Dr Hessling suggested that perhaps 15 mg/kg, less frequent dosing and TDM should be evaluated particularly with relation to toxicities (amakacin can cause irreversible deafness). Interim data at a median of just over five months follow up showed hearing loss in 3/28 children, all with levels exceeding the adult target C-max. She also noted its low early bacterial activity, although it is given for MDR-TB, this compounded with its high toxicity, make it, "not such a wonderful drug".
Giving ofloxacin achieved higher Cmax in the youngest versus oldest groups (median 9.4 vs 7.16 ug/mL), higher and earlier mean peak in Tmax (1.42 vs 2.60 hours, p=0.39) and similar overall exposure. This drug is given routinely as prophylaxis for MDR-TB and levels were higher in this group but this might be an age effect as it is given only to younger children. There was no difference by HIV status and adult targets were achieved.
This study is ongoing and will result in a very large and important data set.
In a related presentation, Adrie Bekke from the Stellenbosch group presented data from a study conducted to determine INH PK parameters at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day in low birth weight infants (<2500 g), and to define the PK of INH in relation to the N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2)-genotype.
INH is recommended as prophylaxis for TB-exposed infants. There are limited data to guide dosing in neonates and no PK data for low birth weight infants. In 2009, WHO recommended higher doses of TB drugs for children (INH 10-15 mg/kg/day) but there is uncertainty about the correct dose for this very young population.
The study was prospective, with longitudinal intensive PK sampling, measuring INH serum concentrations at 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose and conducted at Tygerberg Hospital, Stellenbosch.
Twenty low birth weight infants were included in the evaluation, of which 14 (70%) were male, 16 (80%) were HIV-exposed and 13 (65%) were preterm. The infants were a median gestational age of 35 weeks (IQR 34-38) and weight of 1874 grams (IQR 1366-2105).
Of the 20 infants, 5 were homozygous slow, 11 heterozygous fast/slow, and 4 homozygous fast NAT2-genotype. There was a median elimination constant rate, Cmax, Tmax, AUC2-5 and half-life of 0.13 h-1, 5.64 μg/mL, 2.02 hours, 13.62 μg.h/mL and 5.55 hours, respectively.
All of the infants achieved adult target INH values, which range between 3 and 5 ug/ml, 2 hours post dose. Measured alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values were generally normal apart from one grade 1 and one grade 2 elevated result, which returned to normal at 6 months.
Dr Bekke noted that as the low birth weight infants achieved adult, if not higher, targets the upper range of the WHO recommended dose (15 mg/kg/day) of INH might be too high for this population. The NAT2 expression on the clearance of INH appears to be delayed, supporting immature enzyme maturation and cautions the administration of higher dosing. The limited safety data was reassuring. More work is urgently needed looking at TB drug dosing in infants.

Progress To Success
Suffolk Law's Peer Mentoring Program
The first year of law school is filled with tough challenges and new opportunities. Your professors and other faculty advisors are here for support. But for some things, it helps to have the personal perspective of someone who has been in your shoes. At Suffolk Law, students have diverse shoes in all shapes, sizes and colors -- take advantage of the opportunity to learn from someone who has "been there, done that" to help shape your own Suffolk Law experience.
Progress To Success is a peer mentoring program designed to provide an extra layer of support to first year students. First, each participant is paired with a second- or third-year student who serves as a resource throughout the year for general questions about classes, course work, scheduling, etc. Second, participants are invited to workshops and events throughout the year with other members of the diverse Suffolk Law community – and beyond.
"During the first year of law school, there is no such thing as too many resources", says Assistant Professor Dyane O'Leary. "The Progress To Success program helps students transition into the Suffolk community and begin to put together all of the different pieces -- academic, professional, social, etc. -- of a successful law school puzzle."

I don't understand all the uproar over texting while driving. I know it's distracting, but so is watching the GPS on your dashboard, adjusting the radio, inserting a CD into it, watching the speedometer, fuel gauge, temperature, amps, etc. plus eating, reading a book or newspaper (yes, people do this), doing your hair or nails, or putting on your face, smoking a cigarette, then putting it out in an ashtray if you can find it.
But high on my list of all-time worst distractions are pets sitting in drivers' laps and children misbehaving in the back seat. Do you know how long a parent takes his/her eyes off the road to look back at kids and try to correct the problem? Distractions have been around as long as we have been driving. Can we outlaw all of them or just those we think are worse than others?
If we are bored driving and feel we must do distracting things, let someone else drive and save a life.

Given all the evidence that proper riding harness helmets mitigate injury, I was somewhat concerned by your photo/ad on Page 10A in the Sept. 22 Post and Courier showing a rider without proper headgear. I think this is not the correct message to send.

Beware the chef who does not eat his own cooking. The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, was voted on and passed by our miscreant elected officials even though most never bothered to read the act before voting.
Since that vote, the staffs of our representatives have read the act and made it abundantly clear to their bosses that they want nothing to do with it. As a result, Congress exempted its members from the act's regulations.
The majority of the American public, better known by those inside the Washington, D.C., Beltway as "the unwashed masses," have no idea what's in store. But for the best and brightest in Congress and their minions, this act is unacceptable. Words and speeches are legislators' trade, but their legal sidestepping of this act speaks volumes.
If Congress does not want this type of health care for its members, why should the people be burdened by its exorbitant costs and associated taxes to pay for it?
I believe that every member of Congress should march to the nearest health insurance marketplace and sign up for health care for themselves and their families, in a show of solidarity for the act. If they are going to cook up this tasty offering then they should have to experience it with their constituents. Should they choose not to, then the act should be immediately defunded.

In her article on presumed slave participation in historic church construction, Jennifer Berry Hawes suggests that this poses a conundrum for worshippers "committed to equality."
I, too, am all for equality when it comes to recognizing the builders of our historic city. Recorded evidence clearly shows that, by far, most of the church construction in colonial and antebellum Charleston was performed by skilled free artisans — wood-joiners, masons, plasterers , ironsmiths and painters who did much of the work with their own hands.
Ironically, names such as Thomas Weaver, William Axson, Jacob Sass, Thomas Elfe, George Lea, John Stevenson, Richard Moncrieff, John Vaun, William Fullerton, Samuel Cardy, David Lopez, Antony Toomer, Joseph Massey, Kinsey Burden, William Watson, Johann Iusti and Anthony Forehand are easier to find in old ledgers and defunct newspapers than in the recent pages of The Post and Courier.
I'd like to see a commitment to equality when focusing Post and Courier articles on historic church-building, and to acknowledge the collective work of all — whether free artisans, indentured whites or hired-out slaves. Their labor created incredible buildings that stand as timeless testimonials and evoke a sense of pride in their achievement equal to any feeling of contrition.

"These homicidal maniacs ... need to be committed." Such is the solution to shooting tragedies according to National Rifle Association Vice President Wayne LaPierre (The Post and Courier, Sept. 23) who alleges that the "mental health system is in complete breakdown."
How convenient to blame tragedy after tragedy upon a "system." Such a stance provides anonymity. No one person is responsible, hence no immediate intervention is mandated.
The "systems" in the case of Aaron Alexis' mass shooting at the Washington Naval Yard include the Pentagon, the FBI, several police departments and emergency room staff at VA Hospitals. As usual, the "systems" will "conduct an investigation," the results of which will disappear in the usual mounds of paperwork.
Sadly, tragically, Aaron Alexis sought help for his severe, critically escalating mental illness from police departments, emergency rooms and clerical personnel, all to no avail. Each of those encounters involved some person's individual inefficiency, failure to follow through or negative bias to the "mental cases."
Greedy CEOs, CFOs, VPs and gun shop owners care little about outcomes and focus instead on commitment. "Get them off the street." What a sad situation. NRA enthusiasts cry out for preservation of individual rights while acutely ill patients are unable to receive health care.
Consequently, entire families are plunged into sorrow and loss. We should not accept that.

Spend $5.2 million to improve the Colonial Lake park so people can better enjoy the area. Really? What do you think $5.2 million could do to enable our veterans to enjoy a better life? How about getting volunteers if they want the park improved?
Our military have fought, died and come home with major disabilities. Many enlisted voluntarily.
We owe them for making it possible for us to have the freedom to enjoy parks and our way of life.
Priorities, people, priorities. Let's spend the money where it will do the most good — on our veterans.

I read in the Sept. 24, Post and Courier, an article titled "Graham faces hardest battle." In that article, one of Sen. Graham's primary opponents, Lee Bright, is quoted as saying "If you elect me to the Senate you will think Jesse Helms has rose from the dead."
Not only am I very frightened about the possibility of having another Jesse Helms in the U.S. Senate, but I am also appalled at the faulty grammar used by state Sen. Bright.
Rather than wasting his assets in an attempt to defeat Sen. Graham, I would advise Mr. Bright to spend his money to take courses dealing with English grammar so that the next time he issues a statement he can at least get it grammatically correct.
