LADWP - Solar Incentive Program
You are here
Up to 75% of project costs for residential, government and non-profit installations.
Up to 50% for commercial systems
The maximum system size for incentive payment is 1 MW AC per site, or per government, or per corporate parent per year.
2 MW may be reserved depending on fund availability
Public Benefits Fund
Incentives will step down over time. Current incentive levels as of 5/29/2018:

Commercial: $0.30/W CEC-AC
Government/Non-profit: $0.95/W CEC-AC
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's (LADWP) Solar Incentive Program began in 2000, with a funding level of $150 million. The California Solar Initiative, created in 2007 upon the enactment of SB 1, established new guidelines for municipal utilities to follow, and established new funding levels. The LADWP Board of Commissioners approved the Solar Incentive Program Guideline Revisions on September 4, 2007, to comply with SB1. The revised program was suspended in early 2011, but was revised and relaunched on September 1, 2011.
The Solar Incentive Program has 10 phases with declining incentive levels as certain installed megawatt (MW) targets are met. There are separate goals for residential and non-residential participants, and the incentive levels for each will decline irrespective of the other. All incentives are adjusted for expected performance. Systems may be eligible for bonus incentives if they utilize equipment manufactured in LA or if the systems is building-integrated PV.
LADWP's 10-year, $313 million Revised Solar Photovoltaic Rebate Program began in 2007 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2017, or until the total installed MW goal has been reached.

PARIS (Reuters) - Technology company IBM is mulling up to 1,400 job cuts in France over the next two years, three trade-union representatives told Reuters on Thursday.
IBM, a bellwether for the IT industry, is in the midst of a drive to boost profits by 2015 against an uncertain global economic backdrop.
Local management has yet to officially outline whether there will be a formal job-cuts plan approved by U.S. headquarters, the union representatives said, but said the numbers had already been communicated.
"Management is set to present a plan to cut between 1,200 and 1,400 staff over the next two years," said Pierry Poquet, secretary general of the UNSA union, who said a meeting was planned for April 25.
"For now it is only a target...we've heard such announcements before but they don't always come to pass."
The CFE-CGC union's representative, Evelyne Heurtaux, confirmed the figures. "We've been told a figure of around 1,300 jobs cut over two years," she said.
IBM currently employs around 8,000 people in France, Heurtaux said.
An IBM spokeswoman could not be reached for comment.

Opera is a full-featured web suite by Opera Software ASA, a Norwegian IT company.
Why should I use Opera?
- It's fast and lightweight.
- It's standards-compliant.
- It's very customizable.
- Out-of-the-box provides web browsing with mouse gestures and ad-blocking, mail client, BitTorrent client and IRC client all in one! And then some more too...
- It's got a professional touch: no software bloat, no memory leaks, no freezes, no crashes.
Why should I NOT use Opera?
- It is not free. It's proprietary software.
- If you use GNOME or some window manager based on GTK+, it is needed to load additional libraries because Opera it's a Qt application.
- Some webpages don't display correctly because they are not following the web standards (Opera sticks to standards).
To install the latest stable Opera:
# pacman -S opera
Note: this will install Qt4 shared build.
Note 2: on x86_64, it will install Qt3.
Static build
Opera is also available statically linked against the Qt libraries, removing them as dependencies.
It is available for i686 as "opera-static" in the AUR.
Other options
Microsoft Fonts and Opera
If you have at the time of Opera package installation the package ttf-ms-fonts Opera will then use those fonts which may look unattractive. To make Opera use by default Gnome fonts or whatever is default on your system remove the ttf-ms-fonts package and then install Opera.
Also note that all fonts are configurable at Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Fonts
Optional tweaks
- To remove the tray icon, launch Opera with the -notrayicon option.
- To make the menus look nice, do
# pacman -S polymer
then run qtconfig (it will be located in /opt/qt/bin) and set the polymer theme for Qt applications.
- To disable "ugly" non anti-aliased fonts, type opera:config in the Opera address bar, then search for "core X fonts" and disable them.
- To improve the (flash) plugin performance in opera, just issue this command before starting opera or add it to your /etc/profile:
# export OPERAPLUGINWRAPPER_PRIORITY=0
Java on Arch64
Install your favorite java environment:
# pacman -S jre # pacman -S openjdk
Add to the bottom of your /etc/profile:
# For jre package: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/server/ # For openjdk package: #export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server/
Edit the path to java in Opera: Menu -> Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Java Options. Choose the correct location:
JRE: /opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/ OpenJDK: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/
- If you get the following error:
/usr/lib/opera/9.27-20080331.6/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Create a symlink (as root):
# ln -s /opt/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
That should fix the problem.
- If you sometimes have rendering problems, like duplicated pixel rows, turn of "smooth scrolling" (Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Browsing -> Smooth scrolling)
Not sure what this caused by. But here is another solution. Be sure to remove opera before you proceed.
- Add the this to the bottom of /etc/pacman.conf: (NB! Remember to choose the correct architecture. (If allready present, please skip this step.))
[archlinuxfr] Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686
[archlinuxfr] Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64
- Install Opera using the latest snapshot:
# sudo pacman -S opera-snapshot
Vital that you have done the above, installed polymer and executed qtconfig. (Note that qtconfig can set your font to 6 when run multiple times.)
It should now function properly. If not, please use the talk section of this article.

Kennedy Theatre announces 50th anniversary season in 2013-14University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Publicity, Kennedy Theatre
Kennedy Theatre Box Office, (808) 956-7655
Kennedy Theatre
Big Love
Sept 27, 28, Oct 3, 4, 5 at 8pm; Oct 6 at 2pm
By Charles L. Mee
Directed by Ian Belton, UHM Professor of Theatre
Original Music by Brendan Connelly
This modern take on the oldest Western play known to wo/mankind might be described as My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets Runaway Bride rolled up in The Suppliants by Aeschylus. Indeed, what could be bigger than 50 grooms for 50 brides, all in celebration of 50 years of Kennedy Theatre? On the wild ride of this dark romantic comedy with its twists and turns of gender politics, a big musical number, arranged marriages and divine intervention, only Big Love survives. Or does it?
Free pre-show chats: Sat Sept 28 and Oct 5 at 7pm
UHM Student Buy-One-Get-One Free Night: Thurs Oct 3
Ticket prices: $13 to $25; UH Mānoa students with valid ID: $5

Directed by Betsy Fisher, UHM Professor of Dance
Guest Choreographers: Yukie Shiroma, Tony Young, Andrew Sakaguchi, Vicky Holt Takamine, Cheryl Flaharty and Jean Erdman
In celebration of 50 years of dance at Kennedy Theatre, alumni choreographers return to the place where their choreographic artistry began, with pieces performed by current UHM dancers. Featured choreography will include: Kamapua`a, a section from Cheryl Flaharty's IONA Contemporary Dance Theater production of Hawaiian Myths and Legends; Jean Erdman's Hamadryad; a contemporary Okinawan dance by Yukie Shiroma; and an interweaving of Hula and Bharata Natyam by Vicky Holt Takamine and Anita Vallabh. Special anniversary tributes include Blue-Green by Carl Wolz, founder of the UHM Dance Program and One Deep Breath, a video installation celebrating Kennedy Theatre's dance history that will be projected on and around the Kennedy Theatre building.

Lady Mu and the Yang Family Generals
Jingju (Beijing Opera) performed in English
Feb 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, March 1 at 8pm
Feb 23 and March 2 at 2pm
Original Performance Text: Master Mei Lanfang
Overall Artistic Supervision: Madam Shen Xiaomei
Adaptation and Training: Lu Genzhang & Zhang Ling (actors) and Zhang Xigui (musicians)
Translation: Elizabeth Wichmann-Walczak & Chang Hui-Mei
Director & Producer: Elizabeth Wichmann-Walczak
Martial Performance Director: Nicolas Logue
Musical Director: Frederick Lau
Renowned Jingju master Mei Lanfang's crowning artistic achievement explores issues such as personal ethics versus familial and national duty, and the power of youthful exuberance versus the wisdom of age, in a splendidly-costumed theatrical spectacle of acting, combat, dance, music and song.
Like Kennedy Theatre, Jingju at the University of Hawai`i at Mānoa is celebrating its 50th anniversary, brought to life by UHM students, faculty and guest artists. This is also the 30th year that Madame Shen Xiaomei and UHM Theatre Professor Elizabeth Wichmann-Walczak have collaborated to produce long-term, intensive training residencies taught by major Jingju artists from China and culminating in lavishly-staged English-language productions. There is no other university outside of China that is able to produce Jingju as regularly or as often or on this scale of spectacle and authenticity as UHM. Come celebrate with us!

text: News & Events / Brooklyn Law Notes / 2009 Spring / Food For Thought Page 1 print Back to Features Food For Thought: Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next Current Issue : Spring 2009 Lori Mason still remembers the night of the wine incident. It happened about six months after she and her fiancé, chef Daniel Angerer, had opened their European-American Brasserie, Klee, in Chelsea. The evening had started out well. Pretty young things were sharing bites at the long low-lit bar, couples were snuggled into cozy banquettes against the room's exposed brick walls, and groups of friends filled the extra large booths toward the rear of the restaurant, just a frying pan's distance from the open kitchen. Mason was pleased. That is until a waiter tapped her on the shoulder. "Lori, there's a problem with one of the wines," he told her. The vintage on the wine bottle did not match the one on the wine list. The guest had requested to speak with the sommelier. "Oh, great," thought Mason, who put on her best smile and approached the table. But as she got closer, she realized this wasn't just any old guest complaining about a mistaken vintage. Not only was it someone she knew, it was someone she respected and admired. It was someone she hadn't seen since she'd switched careers, leaving after eight years of corporate litigation at Hughes Hubbard to open a restaurant and become a certified sommelier. It was her former jurisprudence teacher from Brooklyn Law School. "He was surprised to see me, too," recalls Mason, who apologized and explained that their wine systems were not quite in place yet. "I assured him that the vintage, while off by a year, should not have a great impact on the quality of the wine. He was really gracious about it. But then I teased him it would take a lawyer to notice that sort of detail." All turned out well. The professor not only drank the wine, but he enjoyed the experience of dining at Klee so much that he's now a regular at the restaurant where he holds monthly wine dinners. These days, the topic of jurisprudence rarely surfaces in their conversations, which tend toward the differences from Pinot Noir grown in Burgundy and the Willamette Valley. Mason's path from lawyer to restaurateur came about thanks to a combination of factors: a single mom who fed Mason in Manhattan's restaurants more than at home, a passion for cooking, and a love affair with a chef who would become her husband and business partner. But all the while, she was still putting in the hours at Hughes Hubbard, and just as their new restaurant was about to open, she was called to Colorado where a case was going to trial. "It was great to be working on the trial, but it was so disappointing to be away from the restaurant after all that searching and planning," says Mason. After the trial was over, Mason decided to take a month off to recuperate, but instead of relaxing, she spent most of her days in the restaurant, greeting customers, running the floor and managing the staff. She was thriving in her new role. As the days and weeks passed, she started feeling that maybe the law was not where her heart was. "I didn't see myself on a partnership track. I didn't want to put my whole self into it. I was hoping there might be something else for me." Thanks to Klee, there was. "Eventually one of the partners said, 'Lori, you have to make a choice. We are trying to figure out if you are partnership material,'" Mason recalls. He suggested a leave of absence, which Mason took. After almost two years off she officially severed ties with the firm and took the ultimate step: She returned her Blackberry.

Richard Mauze Burr (born November 30, 1955) is the senior United States Senator from North Carolina. A Republican, Burr represented North Carolina's 5th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for five terms, and was elected to represent North Carolina as a U.S. Senator in the 2004 election. He defeated the Democratic Party nominee, former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles, in the open seat contest. With the 2008 election of Kay Hagan (D), Burr became North Carolina's senior senator. He defeated NC Secretary of State Elaine Marshall in 2010 to win reelection to a second term.
Burr was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, the son of Martha (née Gillum) and Rev. David Horace Burr, a minister. He graduated from Richard J. Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem, N.C. in 1974 and earned a B.A. from Wake Forest University in 1978. Burr was on the football team at both Reynolds High School and Wake Forest. Burr lettered for the Demon Deacons during the 1974 and 1975 seasons; however, the team went winless in ACC play during his tenure. He is a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.
Prior to running for Congress, Burr worked for 17 years as a sales manager for Carswell Distributing Company, a distributor of lawn equipment. Burr is currently a board member of Brenner Children's Hospital, as well as of the group Idealliance - a group of local, academic, and government officials working to expand North Carolina's Piedmont Triad Research Park,

Our mission and hISTORY
Rooted in the Dominican tradition, St. Agnes Academy provides a Catholic college preparatory education that encourages young women to develop intellectual curiosity, to work for social justice and to act with integrity and compassion.
The Philosophy and GoalsAs a Dominican Community, we:
Upon completion of a St. Agnes education, a graduate will embody the following.
A St. Agnes Graduate...
School History and OriginsSt. Agnes Academy was founded in 1905 by Mother Pauline Gannon, O.P., Prioress of the Dominican Sisters of Houston, Texas. The Academy opened on February 11, 1906, at its former location at 3901 Fannin. It was in operation at that site until September 1963 when the present-day campus opened at 9000 Bellaire Boulevard in Sharpstown. St. Agnes numbers more than 10,000 graduates, many of whom now have daughters, granddaughters, and even great-granddaughters who are Academy students or alumnae.In 1917 St. Agnes was accredited by the University of Texas and the State Board of Education. It is now affiliated with the following educational associations: Catholic Schools of the Galveston-Houston Diocese, The National Catholic Educational Association, The Texas Catholic Conference Education Department in conjunction with the Texas Education Agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and The College Board. From its founding until 1939, the Academy offered 12 years of instruction and boarding facilities for its students. In 1939, the boarding facilities were discontinued, and, in 1954, the Academy began to function as a day school for students in grades 9-12. Today, St. Agnes has approximately 900 girls enrolled.
Dominican Blessing
May the Creator bless us, may the Redeemer heal us, may the Holy Spirit enlighten usAnd give us eyes to see, ears to hear and hands to do the work of God;Feet to walk the path of justice and mouths to preach the Good News.May the angel of peace watch over us and lead us, at last, to the Reign of God.Amen.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bob Saget has a book coming out, and, yes, it may get dirty.
The actor and standup comedian has a deal with It Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. It Books announced Tuesday that the book, Saget's first, is currently untitled and is planned for early 2014.
Saget, 56, has had a double life in the entertainment business. Family viewers know him for his role on "Full House" and as host of "America's Funniest Home Videos." The more daring like him for his stage act, where words not meant for prime time are used. According to It Books, his book will offer the "full monty" of filth and craziness and stories of such comedians as Richard Pryor and Don Rickles.

Scott Brown: NH needs a senator not beholden to President or partyBY SCOTT BROWN
March 26. 2014 8:00PM
As I've traveled across New Hampshire during my listening tour, I've heard the same thing wherever I've gone.
People tell me they believe we are moving in the wrong direction. They're concerned about our future, and they've lost faith in the politicians who are supposed to be fighting for our priorities — not those of the special interests in Washington, D.C.
They want a growing economy and more good jobs.
They want a government that doesn't spend more than it takes in.
They want a country that is respected again around the world.
But most of all, they want a health care system that works for New Hampshire. Whether it's on a main street or in a living room, a bar, a restaurant or a diner, the message has been the same: Obamacare is not working. People are angry that millions — including more than 20,000 in New Hampshire alone — have received letters of cancellations notifying them their old plan is no longer valid.
They're mad that the Obamacare Democrats promised we'd be able to keep the care we like, and now we can't. They can't understand why their options going forward are so limited.
A "disaster" is what a top official at one of New Hampshire's leading hospitals called the new health care law, and he pointed out just last week that many people in our state were forced onto insurance that no longer covers care at the hospital they've been going to for decades. On top of that, another recent report indicated that smaller states like New Hampshire would be particularly hard hit by skyrocketing premiums under Obamacare.
Last week, I met a small business owner in Henniker who is now paying twice as much for health care because of Obamacare. He's a hard worker who just wants to make an honest living and provide for his family. Now, he's facing tough decisions about the future and barely keeping his head above water because of a health care bill he didn't want or need.
Sunday marked the fourth anniversary of Obamacare becoming law, and as we look forward on how to fix this mess, it's important to take a look back on how we got here. It took the vote of every single Democratic senator — including the tie-breaking vote of New Hampshire's own Jeanne Shaheen — to band together and pass this bill.
Without Sen. Shaheen's vote, Obamacare wouldn't have passed, and we wouldn't be dealing with its catastrophic consequences today. It is a fair question to ask why in passing this bill Sen. Shaheen put a national political agenda ahead of the interests of her state. This is what happens when you vote 99 percent of the time with President Obama — you become more concerned with "winning" on an issue than doing the right thing.
Now that another campaign is upon us, President Obama has endorsed Sen. Shaheen and wants to see her re-elected. I've invited him to come to New Hampshire so that he and Jeanne Shaheen can together defend the health care law that has caused so much frustration for so many people. I don't expect they'll take me up on the offer. From a broken health care system to a soaring national debt to a foreign policy that has left us looking weak, the Obama-Shaheen agenda has not been good for New Hampshire.
Now, I don't pretend to have all the answers to everything, but I do know this much: If we want to get rid of Obamacare, we start by electing people who won't march in lockstep with all the other Washington politicians. Instead of telling the people of New Hampshire what's best for them, I am spending my time listening and learning. After all, that's what elected democracy at its core should be all about.
Despite the challenges we face, I've been uplifted by the spirits of the good, hard-working people I've encountered on the trail. They are not discouraged, but they are looking for new leadership. They deserve a government that is as good and hard-working as they are. The politicians in Washington should spend time with the people of New Hampshire — they might learn a thing or two about what makes America great.
Scott Brown, a Republican of Rye who formerly served as U.S. senator from Massachusetts, has formed a committee to explore a run for U.S. Senate against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

GPSolo Magazine - October/November 2004
So You're a Lawyer. Can You Be Happy?
When I tell new acquaintances that I help lawyers improve their lives and workplaces, I invariably get a response along the lines of, "Boy, they sure need it!" I appreciate the job security, but it's unfortunate that this is the common perception.
Perhaps you are like the proverbial frogs in the kettle of cold water placed on the stove. You don't notice the gradual temperature change until you're too cooked to jump out. My purpose in this article is to raise your consciousness about the temperature of the water surrounding you, to help you think about your practice and why you're doing it, and to suggest that you are powerful beyond all imagination.
Professional Hazards that Turn Up the Heat
Let's take a look at several factors that hurt lawyers' performance, relationships, and satisfaction with their work: under-functioning, over-functioning, and exploding.
Under-functioning. I use this term to describe any set of circumstances in which quality of life or work does not match potential. I've seen many sad cases in which lawyers implode and simply can't, or won't, do what they need to do to maintain a healthy practice.
• You are avoiding a file at the bottom of a pile because you're not sure how to take the next step—or you haven't figured out what the next step is.
• You've intended to develop a healthy exercise and diet regimen since you made that New Year's resolution—in 1999.
• You've heard a hundred times that a business plan will help your business prosper, but it's dropped off the end of your to-do list because you can't bill for it.
Procrastination is usually about fear and/or shame. You don't know what to do or how to do it, and this feels scary or humiliating. Or you may be afraid of the reaction you're expecting from the client or opposing counsel, so you avoid the discomfort by avoiding them and the file. Procrastination can also be about laziness or a lack of commitment to your priorities. Whatever the cause, it is the bane of most lawyers' existence.
Sloppy business practices are another symptom of under-functioning. Your capacity to be effective in your work cannot exceed the health of your business. Most of you didn't learn how to run a business in law school. But if you're in private practice, especially as a sole practitioner, you are an entrepreneur whether you planned to be or not. To what extent do you behave like a successful businessperson? Failing to do so can have serious consequences, such as debt, attention from the IRS, or trouble with your state bar. Perhaps all of the above.
So, please, take your business seriously by making it a priority and thinking like an entrepreneur. Many resources are available to you. Last month I attended an all-day seminar on how to write a business plan. Hosted by the Small Business Administration, it cost $60, featured terrific speakers, and included free software. Several state bars offer law office management assistance programs. Private consultants and coaches can help you with motivation and organizational skills if these are lacking. The point is to take care of your business so that it can take care of you.
Untreated mental health issues are a third symptom of under-functioning. Depression and substance abuse occur with alarming frequency among lawyers. These problems alone are implicated in roughly half of all disciplinary actions in Washington state, and I don't think we're unusual. In addition to diminishing your quality of life, these problems can ruin your practice and thereby your livelihood. This is both tragic and unnecessary.
Over-functioning. Just as working below your potential can be hazardous to your professional health, overachievement can also limit your effectiveness.
Perfectionism poses a problem for many of you. It's important to prepare thoroughly and to turn out a product that gives you pride and accomplishes what you set out to do. But if your need to "do it right" is causing you to miss deadlines or is provoking your clients to frequent phone calls and complaints, you may be dealing with an obsessive-compulsive streak run amok.
Your products don't need to be perfect, just effective. Fretting and revising endlessly will not make them more effective. Because practicing law is an art rather than a science, it takes a while to learn the point at which something is good enough to send out. Learn where that point is before you drive your self, staff, and clients crazy.
Workaholism is a second hazard of the overachiever. (It can also be a hallmark of the underachiever if she/he doesn't have much to show for all the hours logged.) I'm not sure what the official definition of a workaholic is, but in my book it's someone who uses work to avoid something else, like having a life or functional relationships. In the world of law, workaholism is often seen as a virtue.
If you consistently bill ten hours per day, is there something—or someone—you are avoiding? What's the point of working nonstop if you have no time or energy to enjoy your life? Will anyone care in two years? Ten? Twenty? Who will you want in your life when you want to stop working? Will they still be around?
Which leads to our third aspect of over-functioning, relationship neglect. You may believe 14-hour days are necessary to provide your family with a certain standard of living or to pay for private schools. Or you may simply feel more comfortable in the realm of ideas rather than people—and so avoid the people.
Trust me. What matters to your children, partner, family, and friends is that they have a real relationship with you. You must spend time with people to have real relationships with them. And don't buy into the myth of "quality time" as a substitute for quantity time. You need quantity to produce quality, and you need both. Otherwise you are giving your relationships only lip service.
Exploding. Many of you communicate with skill and compassion, behaving respectfully toward staff, colleagues, and clients. You are making the world a better place. Bless you.
The horror stories I hear about lawyers behaving badly astonish me. I've heard of lawyers nearly throttling associates, running through support staff faster than toothpaste, hollering at deponents, and referring to clients as "morons" and "scumbags." More than a few lawyers have the people skills of a porcupine.
Maybe you think you have to behave like a pit bull to be effective. After all, isn't the other side doing the same thing . . . or worse?
Let's stop passing the buck with regard to civility. Every time you engage in behavior that causes grief, hardship, or unnecessary expense, you diminish someone's quality of life. You make the world poorer and yourself smaller. You lose the respect of others and you damage your profession. Is this really the legacy you want to pass on?
You don't have to behave like this. Even if the other side "deserves" it, you don't have to respond in kind to be effective. You can make choices that demonstrate your interest in building versus destroying. You can bring your considerable skills, talent, and imagination to bear on solving problems rather than creating more. Your staff can feel proud of you . . . or not.
Angry, hostile behavior hurts you as well as others. Studies have shown that these qualities are related to higher rates of heart attack and stroke.
Purpose: Why Are You Doing What You're Doing?
We've looked at patterns of under-functioning, over-functioning, and exploding that contribute to the poor health of individual lawyers and the profession as a whole. Next, let's look at purpose and the meaning of (your) life. Stop and think about why you became a lawyer. Was it to help others? Make the world a better place? Earn lots of money? Prestige? Political aspirations? Make someone proud of you?
Lots of lawyers are doing what they love and are very good at it. But many others have lost their way. Some had notions about lawyering that proved highly inaccurate and disappointing. Others got off to a bad start by working in the wrong job or failing to get a job at all. Still others abandoned a dream because they needed or wanted to earn more money. Many have been in a muddle for years because they're unhappy but don't know what else to do.
Given the high rate of job dissatisfaction among lawyers, it's good to assess your career often and to correct your course as needed. This will help you avoid burnout, frustration, and performance problems down the road. Here are some questions for reflection:
• What mission are you working to accomplish? To what extent are you accomplishing it?
• What's your vision for yourself? For your clients? For the legal profession?
• What meaning does your work have for you? What would you like it to mean?
• What's your relationship to money? Are you under-earning? Are you confined by golden handcuffs?
• How are you making yourself more valuable in the workplace? To your clients?
• How long do you want to continue doing what you're doing? What's next?
• What plans have you made for retirement?
• What do you really want?
• How do you plan to turn things around if you feel off course?
Don't be surprised if the questions feel a bit overwhelming. It's no wonder we avoid thinking about such things. Sit with the questions one at a time, and listen carefully to your answers. If you need some help staying on track with the process, hire a good professional coach or counselor. A small investment of time and money now can save you from asking yourself later, "What was I thinking?"
Power: You Have No Idea How Influential You Really Are
It's easy to go through life feeling as if you and your work are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. However, I suspect you are largely unconscious of the effect you have on those around you.
Benjamin Sells, in his excellent book The Soul of the Law, tells us that the root of the word litigation means "to carry on strife." If you litigate, you encounter in the course of a case many "choice points." One choice may be between complicating matters (creating more work for yourself or the opposing party) and resolving a problem (satisfying both parties' needs as efficiently as possible). Another choice may be between behaving with dignity or hollering at clients, staff, and opposing counsel. Your choices have a profound influence on costs, stress levels, and how calm or angry people feel at the end of any given day.
Consider your staff, if you have one. To what extent do your employees feel respected and valued? How do you provide opportunities for them to improve their skills? What will they remember about the years they've spent working in your office? If they left today, how would they describe you as a boss? As a person?
Consider your clients. How would they describe you? How do you demonstrate that you have their best interest at heart and that you work diligently on matters they've entrusted to you? How often do you remember how vulnerable they feel and, in fact, are? To what extent do you demonstrate patience, return their calls, keep them informed, and treat them with kindness and respect?
From the courthouse clerk to your spouse, you are enormously powerful in the lives you touch each day. Your attitudes and behavior create an atmosphere. You make choices about the use of your power each time you open your mouth or write a sentence. Everything you do makes a difference to someone.
You can use your power for good or for ill. You can make the world a better place by conducting yourself in ways that enhance the lives of those around you. This isn't idealism—it's reality.
However, you can't give what you don't have. You will pass along exactly who and what you are with each interaction. You can create health, prosperity, and security for others only if you possess them yourself.
I believe that you really can be a happy, decent, and successful lawyer despite the systemic and personal obstacles you may encounter. By attending to your own health, business acumen, purpose, and people skills, you will make the world a better place. I encourage you to take advantage of the many resources available to you. You'll have no regrets.

Whiskey Review: Old Parr Superior 18 Year Old Whiskey
Posted by Arctic Wolf on January 20, 2010
Its time to return to Scotland and sample one of the most decorated Scottish Blends ever produced, Old Parr Superior 18 year Old Whisky. Old Parr Superior, is blended and bottled by MacDonald Greenlees Distillers, who in turn are owned by Diageo (click on the link to go to the Diageo website.)
Old Parr Superior was named by Jim Murray as the 2007 World Whisky of the Year, in his 2007 Whisky Bible. This recognition caused quite a stir and a fair amount of consternation, as the blend was only available overseas, in the Pacific Rim markets. But collectors and whisky aficionados may now begin to rejoice as rumors have begun to circulate that this whisky is coming to North America.
So in preparation of this event I have prepared a review of the Old Parr Superior whisky using a bottle from my own private collection to sample and taste. Here is an excerpt from my hard work:
"The whisky arrives in the mouth with a soft chewy peat. The soft peat completely envelops the palate, and it is as if you have to chew through the smoke and peat to get at the other flavours. As the Old Parr sits on my tongue, the other flavours pop out of the smoke one by one…"
You can read the full review here:

I'm desperatly searching the Internet trying to get my hands on this whisky for my dad's 60th next month.
Do you know anywhere that I can buy it? They dont sell it here in the UK and i'm pretty sure you cant get it from Scotland either. Aparently thry only sold it in the far east?
Would you know where I can get some from that will ship to the UK?
Many thanks

Why is the Javan Rhino one of the world's most threatened large mammals? What efforts are underway to help conserve the 47 remaining Floreana Mockingbirds of Ecuador? Why is there a dramatic decline in the Globosa Mangrove? You can find answers to these and many more questions in a unique anthology, Species on the Edge of Survival, published by Collins.
The book, inspired by IUCN's Species of the Day initiative, features a selection of 365 plants, animals and fungi listed on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. Each profile includes a description of the species, its conservation status, geographical range and the conservation action that is needed to protect it. All of this is accompanied by a striking photograph of the species, making the book a must-read for nature lovers, young and old. Environmental enthusiasts and anyone who is concerned about the state of the world's wildlife will find it a useful guide to our planet's biodiversity, the threats it faces and methods to conserve it.
Species on the Edge of Survival highlights the current biodiversity crisis. According to the latest update of The IUCN Red List, one in four mammals, one in eight birds and more than one in three amphibians are at risk of extinction.
"These startling statistics are an alarm call that should be heard by everyone," says Simon Stuart, Chair of IUCN's Species Survival Commission. "Species are key to our survival, the quality of our lives and our economic security. It's important to know what threats they face and how we can protect them."
The IUCN Red List is often considered to be the world's most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of species. The wealth of detail it contains can be used to influence the establishment of on-the-ground conservation projects.
"The IUCN Red List is crucial in defining future conservation action, as it shows where it is needed most and encourages the necessary changes in legislation to make it more effective," says Jean-Christophe Vié, Deputy Director of IUCN's Global Species Programme. "But this book is also a celebration of the magical diversity and beauty of life. It is amazing to see what splendid creatures share the planet with us."
Species on the Edge of Survival is a thought-provoking volume which sets out the problem of biodiversity decline and provides some of the possible ways to stop it. "The attractive layout, beautiful images and clear language will certainly encourage readers of all ages to engage in nature conservation and raise awareness about how important it is to protect biodiversity," adds Simon Stuart.

SAN FRANCISCO -- When Larry Ellison's new 72-foot America's Cup boat capsized on a practice run and was sucked through the Golden Gate in a crippled mess, the second-guessing and doubts among the sailing community began: Has Ellison's plan to turn the world's most famous yacht race into a high-tech white-knuckle NASCAR of the sea gone too far for speed?
"Everyone wants the fastest boat," said Richard Spindler, founder and publisher of Latitude 38, a sailing magazine based in Mill Valley. "But you can't win the race unless you finish."
Now, a month after Oracle Racing's new, custom-made USA 17 cartwheeled into San Francisco Bay, hurled its hotshot crew into the cold waters and crumpled the main sail structure, Ellison's pride is on the line as the sailing syndicate races against the clock to perform repairs and be ready to compete by September's America's Cup finals.
After winning the last Cup, Ellison was allowed to dictate the size and basic design of the boats for all the entries in this year's race. But some doubters are wondering whether the towering catamarans are too unwieldy and expensive and should follow the lead of Howard Hughes' giant flying boat, the "Spruce Goose" -- which was shelved for good after one flight.
Even America's Cup officials are talking about downsizing the catamaran for future races. But there's no time to turn back for this race.
"It's definitely a setback," Oracle Team USA skipper Jimmy Spithill said of the newly built boat's capsize Oct. 16. He was at the helm and blames his risky maneuvers in especially rough conditions, not the boat design, for the catastrophe. "But it's not one that will stop us from winning the Cup," he said.
The boat's wreck on only its eighth practice run has focused scrutiny on the fundamental design of the so-called AC72 -- a new class of America's Cup boat built for excitement and speed. All three challengers have launched their customized versions, and at least one competitor is already complaining that the rigid wing serving as a mast and sail is too big.
If Ellison's team loses, the event he won in Spain in 2010 and brought for the first time to San Francisco -- promising millions of dollars in economic development and a thrilling spectator experience -- would move to the winning boat's home port.
Stephen Barclay, CEO of the America's Cup Event Authority, said the 72-footers are not too dangerous for the bay, but they are being reconsidered for future races because they are so expensive and big, requiring upward of 30 people to get them in and out of the water by crane. Only three teams, New Zealand, Sweden and Italy, could afford to challenge Oracle for the trophy next summer, compared with roughly a dozen challengers in past years.
Still, the capsize exposed the fundamental dilemma of the America's Cup: How extreme can a boat design be when it is racing in the bay's already extreme conditions with the most competitive sailors on the planet intent on going as fast as possible?
Along with wearing crash helmets and sharp knives strapped to body suits, Spithill's crew will now tuck into their chest pockets mini oxygen canisters. If sailors end up trapped underwater, they'll have 10 to 15 breaths to cut their way out from beneath the netted trampoline that spans the twin hulls.
"We have to plan for the worst," Spithill said. Still, "I think the boat has to be a challenge. It needs to have all the horsepower and risk. If you can only race to the top of first gear, it's boring. You need to be pushed."
He was pushing the limits a month ago in 30-knot winds clashing with the strongest ebb tide of the year. No one was injured when the boat pitch-poled end over end. But the rigid wing became a battering ram on the helpless hulls as it was flushed through the rough waters of the Golden Gate and then collapsed. Pieces of the wing are still washing up at beaches.
Spithill received a call from Ellison, his billionaire boss who founded Oracle, the next morning. 'Champions get through this. I have no doubt you'll get through it,' " Spithill recalls Ellison saying. "It's what I needed," Spithill said, "that outlook and attitude."
But the capsize spooked competitors. So far, Team New Zealand has had little trouble navigating its AC72 in strong winds, but when it heard the news of the capsize while out sailing off the New Zealand coast, it immediately "buttoned back," said Richard Gladwell, who covers the team for Sail-World.com in Auckland.
When Sweden's Artemis Racing launched its 72-footer out of Alameda last week in similar tidal conditions, "we didn't go anywhere near that part of the bay," said CEO Paul Cayard.
There is no fatal flaw to the AC72, Barclay said. But he acknowledges that "decisions were made early to make these boats exciting," including choosing a larger, faster 38-meter wing sail over a slower 32-meter one.
Cayard is already questioning the wisdom of that decision: "We would have been better off with a small wing."
The America's Cup has always been as much a test of sailing skills as a design competition -- and the history of the Cup is littered with examples of teams pushing the limit. . In 1995, One Australia cracked like an egg during a challenger series and sank in seconds.
"If nobody takes risks there will be no progress. Howard Hughes did that. So did Boeing," said Dirk Kramers, Oracle's chief engineer who led the design of the AC72. "Whatever lessons are learned from one cycle will be applied to the other. That's what's kept this game alive for 100-and-some-odd years."
