Law in Florida. HELP!!
April 17, 2011, 08:15:58 PM »
Hey guys, quick question. I am about to take my LSAT and thinking where to apply. I am from South Florida and I KNOW I want to live/ practice in Miami after law school. So...UM or FIU? UM is well established and has a great alumni network...but I can't help but feel it's ridiculously overpriced (it's ranked around the low 70's) and in this economy, who is willing to pile on 180k of debt with the job uncertainty? On the other hand..FIU is brand new, rising in the rankings (brand new law school started out at tier 3) CHEAP (13k) and I know I'd place near the top of my class ( I currently have a 4.0 undergrad GPA at UF, I'm at the top of my class, and heavily involved in research, TAing, and various leadership positions around campus & community- I am very driven, ambitious, and above all I KNOW I want to be a lawyer despite my salary)
Other reasons for wanting to move to Miami: I HATE living in Gainesville ( a southern town in the middle of nowhere infested with bigotry) so I don't think I will even apply to UF. The thought of living here for 7 years makes me cringe. And yes, it's more important for me to be happy with my surroundings, and close to my family, than to go to a top law school. I don't wanna be a pawn in this law school name game. Also I plan (& hope!) on going into solo practice ASAP, I am not interested in climbing the ladder at a firm or sticking around for 20 years being someone's biotch in order to make a 6 figure salary as partner but be miserable.
Please please, give me your advice on whether attending FIU for the aforementioned reasons is a good idea or not.
Thanks! I truly appreciate it.

What you're saying all makes sense.
With your undegrad GPA, why are you only considering these two schools? Why not set your sights a little higher?
I get what you're saying about going into practice for yourself.
Just one thing to throw in there: working for da man for a couple of years first could be a good way to build a strong set of skills and contacts for your own practice.
Best of luck.

Thanks, I really appreciate your input. Like you said, I probably wouldn't be able to build a solo practice as a fresh law school graduate, so clerking or working for a firm for a few years would probably be really beneficial, like you suggested.
Maybe I'm wrong in only considering these two schools. I just thought being in Miami would give me a leg up on graduates from FSU/ UF who lived in Tallahassee and were unable to network in Miami for those 3 years.
To answer your question, the reason I'm only considering those two is because I'm having a tremendously hard time with the LSAT. I moved to the U.S ten years ago, and I didn't know any English. I can definitely speak it well enough for my day-to-day activities but taking this logic test in a foreign language has proven to be a little harder than I thought. It's sad because I worked my butt off at UF and I might get stuck at a lower ranked school because I can't understand an entire reading passage in 8 min. Oh well, I've sort of come to terms with it, I can only do my best and hope it's enough and that schools take into account how hard I worked in undergrad as a sign of how I will do in law school. Also, sadly, since I'm Hispanic but not Puerto Rican/ Mexican I'm not a URM. How ironic that immigrants are not considered URM's as I would assume they are probably just as underrepresented in the legal field as official URMs. Oh well.
Thanks for your advice!

Everything you said makes perfect sense and with the awesome tuition rate at FIU that would probably be my choice. However, something to be careful about is your statement that you know you will rank highly at FIU. You certainly can, but everyone at every ABA school thinks they will be in the top 10% of the class. You don't need to be a math major to figure out how that turns out for 90% of students. 99% of people at any ABA school are smart hard-working ambitious people who have done pretty well academically their entire life. All law students tell themselves they will rank highly, but that obviously can't happen.
I don't know if that helps your decision at all, but it is something to think about no matter what law school you attend. Looking at lawschooltransparency, which is far from perfect, but does at least offer actual salary numbers unlike U.S. News or the ABA it looks like only 20% of the class from UM had a reportable salary.
. FIU doesn't have anyone listed, which is strange I have not seen any other school with no reportable salaries.
A good step to take is simply e-mailing firms in the area. I was seriously considering attending FIU when I was choosing schools and people in Miami were very receptive to my questions. Most had positive things to say about FIU, but having no reportable salaries is a little strange. However, FIU's tuition rate is one of the best in the country.

Bigs5068, thanks a lot for your input. You are right, I cannot assume that merely because I did well in my undergraduate that I will be a stellar student in law school. I was making the assumption (perhaps erroneous) that, since FIU has lower stats, maybe students who enroll there are not as competitive or driven as those, say at UF. But now I realize that's a silly assumption to make.
It's curiously strange that FIU would have no reportable salaries...but then again they've only had about 3 or 4 graduating classes. Could that be an explanation? If not...that scares me a tad. Also, why did you decide against attending FIU? If you don't mind me asking, where did you decide to attend instead?
And thanks for the tip, I'll e-mail/ call a few attorneys in the area to get their input once finals are over.

My story is completely random and all the decisions leading up to choosing my law school were completely wrong in my opinion, but thankfully some attorneys talked some sense into me.
I am from California L.A., but went to college in Northern California and wanted to end up in San Francisco. I decided to put a lot of emphasis on the rankings and when I got accepted into Michigan State the 95th best school in the country my mind was made up I would go to Michigan State, but then a few months later I had the realization of I do not know anybody in Michigan, I have no desire to live in Michigan, I hate! cold weather, and the tuition was extremely expensive. Then I started looking at schools with lower tuition rates and noticed FIU. I applied there and they let me in. I have familiarity with Miami and 12k a year is more than reasonable for an ABA degree. I paid the deposit at both schools, but ultimately decided the U.S. News rankings were the most important thing and decided to go to Michigan State. Literally the week before I was going to drive out to Michigan my car fell apart and then my fiance got an amazing job offer in San Francisco. I had been accepted to Golden Gate, but never paid the deposit, but I was thinking why the hell am I going to Michigan. I e-mailed Golden Gate a week before classes started and explained my situation to them and they let me in and let me keep a huge scholarship they had initially offered me. After that discussion I started e-mailing and talking to a few attorneys in the Bay Area and they responded saying what should have been obvious to me from the outset. If you want to be in San Francisco go to school in San Francisco and Golden Gate is where I ended up.
GGU is tier 4, but everything has worked out fine for me up to this part. I had a pretty good 1L summer job, I had an alright internship Fall of my second year, and I really like my internship this Spring, then I got a pretty high paying 2L summer job. I have honestly really enjoyed the school and made a lot of good friends. GGU is certainly not Stanford, but the law is the law. You will read Supreme Court decisions and they don't write special editions for Ivy League students. I will probably never on the Supreme Court with a degree from GGU, but that is alright with me.
I have no idea why they have no reportable salaries. Lawschooltransparency has not been updated since 2008 and as you said FIU is a very new school so that might be the reason. I truthfully don't know. These reportable salaries and employment stats are not real accurate and the reality is finding a job etc is going to be on you. No school guarantees you a job and your going to be bear the burden of finding employment etc. This is particularly true at non-elite schools.
My rant on the rankings-
As a sidenote a month into attending law school I decided to look at how the rankings were done since I almost made a life altering decision based on them and I was shocked! The rankings make no sense. This is how it works lawyers, judges, and law school faculty from across the country mark a scantron from 1-5. So a judge in Nebraska gives a check of 1-5 to FIU. The person in Nebraska has probably never been to Miami or met a single person from FIU, but they check a box and that is basically it. A school's bar passage makes up a whopping 2% of the rankings, which just shows the ridiculousness of it. As a result of this unbelievable formula schools drop and rise 20 spots any given year. They have limited these free falls by making making 7 way ties for 63rd place. In this years ranking there is a 12 way tie for 84th it is simply unbelievably bad. This article from LSAC does a pretty good job of summarizing it.
. Since the rankings are so terribly done neither the ABA or AALS acknowledge and publicly condemn them. It is a for profit private magazine offering their opinion on schools. It is a cash-cow for them they put in little work to make any determinations about anything, but people do not even question them. I personally knew Harvard and Yale were good schools before U.S. News started publishing the rankings in the 80's, but U.S. News needed to establish that fact. They only used to deal with top schools and it was legit, but then the expanded it and now use Scantrons to determine whether Gonzaga is a better law school than Maine.
Point is whatever you decide to do don't take the rankings very seriously. There are elite schools and if you were debating between Harvard and FIU the answer would pretty obvious. I suppose Florida or Florida State are highly regarded in Florida, but from your post it sounds like you hate living in small college towns and that is your personal preference. If you attend Miami or FIU you can probably get a lot of internships etc while in school, which I have been able to do as a result of going to school in a big city.

I can't thank you enough for sharing that story! I am really glad things worked out for you and you just gave me ample hope in my future decisions. Like you, I always had this unsettling feeling about rankings, but the info you just gave me is truly eye-opening.
Thanks SO much!
I scheduled a tour and a class sit-in this Friday at FIU and I'm very excited. I already visited UM this semester and I was very unimpressed. The law school building looks like my old high school, the library's facilities are sub-par, and what really turned me off is the fact that the only place where students are allowed to smoke is in the ONLY, tiny courtyard of the law school so it's constantly filled with smokers that come from all over campus. On the upside the administration and tour guide were very courteous. It's not bad, I don't want to rag on the University of Miami, but for that price I guess I expected a bit more pizazz. I'll write a review of FIU after my trip.
Thanks again for all your help.

Here's my take on it. I am currently a 3L at Michigan State. Throughout law school, everyone everywhere has placed so much emphasis on the rankings. Yes, Michigan is a T14 school, and Michigan State is only 95th. But, as the previous poster stated, we are all studying the same material and learning the same laws. It's all about debt in the end. Thankfully, I will have no debt when I get out of law school school. This comes with a degree from a school that doesn't fall in the top 14. So what? I'd rather take that then gamble with paying out 40K/year at a higher ranked school. Very few T14 students are landing jobs right out of law school anyways.
So, think about this: debt and location. Don't go to Northern Illinois University if you want to practice in south Florida. Don't go to Wayne State University if you want to practice in Seattle. Get into the best school you can with the least amount of debt in the location you want to be in afterwards.
That being said, there are some caveats: some schools have a terrible stigma attached to them. There are a number of these in Florida (and one in particular here in Michigan). Don't attend these even if have landed a large scholarship, because most likely you will lose this scholarship after the first year as a result of criminal grade curves. Instead, go to a state school and take advantage of the low tuition and strong ties to the community.
Lastly, some schools will carry a strong name no matter where you go in the country. Most of these are the T14 schools. Larger state schools follow as well: Michigan State is ranked at the same level as Marquette, but Michigan State carries a bigger name with it. Name recognition is not as crucial as one would think, but it still plays a role.
Good luck with your law school career. It's an amazing experience. Hopefully by the time you are finished, the legal market will have turned around.

Blue 54, thanks a lot for your advice! It means a lot coming from someone who has already gone through the process. I also think the economy played a large role in the breeding of this new mentality. I'm starting to think a 150k+ loan is only worth it for a T14 in this economy. I can't help but think I'd have buyers remorse if I were to drop 150k for a school like UMiami, when FIU right down the road, is 36k. It just doesn't seem like the opportunity cost would be worth the sleepless nights after law school wondering about how to pay off all my debt.
I just wish people would realize that successful undergraduates are ACTUALLY seeking to attend public T3's or T4's in their desired market over, say, a T50 school for an arm and a leg. This would really mitigate some of the social stigma attached to these schools...

I don't know if any actual lawyer does look down at particular schools. Most people that bash certain schools have never taken the LSAT and one thing you will learn in all aspects of life is that those who know the least know it the loudest. Go to any courtroom and watch lawyers argue. Some are good some are not and one thing that I have never heard any lawyer say is what law school they attended in court. When determining for example if a girl was raped or not the judge and jury care about the facts of the case not whether the prosecutor went to a tier 1 school or not. I have seen lackluster performances from Ivy League Grads and I have seen great performances from attorney that went to non-aba law schools. It really comes down to how good you are.
sidenote. California has a name directory on the bar website and when I watch certain cases I like to look at what school the lawyers went to that is how I know what school they attended. Again nobody has ever mentioned their law school in a court proceeding that I have witnessed.
I really think the legal profession has a lot of similarities to sports. It certainly helps to be drafted #1, but it is no guarantee of success i.e. Jamarcus Russel. You can also be drafted #199th and dominate i.e. Tom Brady. Jamarcus Russel was given plenty of opportunities, but he didn't perform. Tom Brady had to bust his ass to make the roster his rookie year, but he made it and now he is arguably the best quarterback in history. Same thing applies in law school if you attend Harvard their will be a lot more doors open to you, but you still have to perform. If you don't make a proper objection, or don't follow the rules of court, you will screw your client. I just read a case where a prestigious firm Arnold and Porter filed their death penalty habeus corpus motion 3 days late. The court did not care that is was a prestigious law firm. The case is Coleman v. Thompson 501 U.S. 722. The client was executed and by not following the rules of court they killed their client. It was irrelevant that they have to many Harvard Grads to count in their firm.
At the end of the day whether or not you will be a good lawyer depends on you not your school. It certainly helps to go to Harvard, but the name of your school can only take you so far.

Orient PearPyrus communis 'Orient'
This hybrid European pear cultivar is known for its intense beauty and heavy annual crops. The yellow fruit has juicy, melting, creamy flesh with a mild flavor—excellent for canning, desserts, salads and fresh eating. The tree typically produces ripe fruit in mid-August or mid-September.
The Orient pear is available in standard and dwarf sizes and requires cross-pollination with Bartlett or another European pear variety (excluding Kieffer). See our Fruit Tree Spacing Guide for more specifics.

MMS Audio-Video Management Manual
Contributor(s): David Germano
THL uses its own Media Management System (MMS) to catalog and describe bibliographies, images, and audio-video resources in a single integrated system. The first step is to study the Media Management System (MMS) Manual in general, and then consult the other manual specific to the type of resource on which you may be working. This Manual focuses on the use of MMS to catalog and describe audio-video recordings. It presumes that you have already consulted the MMS Manual, and thus know how to login and use MMS in general.
At present, we are working on completing MMS for audio-video resources and will post instructions here as soon as it is ready.

Sheila Gallagher and Tom Thompson are headed toward a runoff in two weeks for the Democratic nomination for superintendent of education.
The winner of the June 24 election will take on the Republican nominee in November. The nominees for both parties also will run against American Party candidate Ed Murray.
Gallagher led Thompson by 10 percentage points on Tuesday.
The last statewide office held by a Democrat was when Jim Rex took the superintendent job in 2007. He held it until Republican Mick Zais was elected in 2010. Zais announced in December he would not seek a second term, and since then four Democrats and eight Republicans have been vying for their party's nominations.

Gallagher, who is from Florence, made headlines when she called for legalizing marijuana as a way for the state to earn money to pay for schools.
"I'm open to any idea to be sure we're fully funded," Gallagher said Tuesday.
In the next two weeks, she said she plans to continue supporting new ideas.
"I'm not going after that same old stuff," she said. "We've got to change what we're doing."
Thompson does not support the marijuana proposal.
"There are some things that just don't go together, and matching up the legalization of marijuana with funding public schools for children just doesn't go together," he said.
Thompson, of Forest Acres, also ran for superintendent in 2010.
He said votes were harder to come by this time because three of the candidates were African-American males.
"We probably all resonated with the same demographic," Thompson said.
Thompson is a former dean of graduate studies at South Carolina State University. He is currently the doctorate degree coordinator for Walden University.
Gallagher graduated from Winthrop University and has three master's degrees from different schools in education fields.
She credited her success at the polls to her time as president of the S.C. Education Association. She said she spent a lot of time on the road in that position interacting with local associations and their schools. She also spent time at the State House, she said.
Candidates Montrio Belton of Fort Mill, and S.C. House Rep. Jerry Govan of Orangeburg, did not make it into the runoff.

Identifiler® Plus: Improved Performance
The performance enhancements made to the Identifiler® Plus Kit greatly facilitate the analysis of casework mixtures, which often contain PCR inhibitors, and where the minor component may be present at a very low level. The enhanced sensitivity, greater capability to overcome inhibition and improved heterozygote and intracolor balance afforded by the Identifiler® Plus Kit allows the analyst to analyze and interpret mixtures more easily and reliably than was previously possible (Figure 4).

Sapphire HD 6850 1GB Vapor-X Edition
Between the introductions of new series of video cards between AMD and nVidia, the graphics market is relatively quiet. What we do see, however, is AMD's partners coming out with different variations of cards based off of an original platform. Sapphire has been dominating the market and keeping it busy due to its introductions of upper-end video cards that offer different things. Most recently, Sapphire surprised many of us with its Toxic HD 6950, which overclocked like a dream and showed chances of success while flashing to an HD 6970 bios. A couple of weeks ago Sapphire brought its HD 6850 Vapor-X edition to the table. The Vapor-X suffix means use of a specially designed vapor chamber cooler that brings up expectations for cooling capability. The reference-style blower is generally sufficient, but can be very loud at full speed. Higher efficiency coolers, such as those found on the Vapor-X edition video cards, can achieve similar results but are able to do so at a much lower level of volume.
Sapphire has been the pioneer in keeping the market somewhat interesting, as least for the Red Team folks. We've seen one or two other AMD manufacturers' cards here on OCC, but until recently with a couple of GTX 580 reviews, nVidia hasn't really had anything 'different' hit the shelves in quite some time. Still though, we can all agree that we're ready to see more. Hopefully with the upcoming release of Bulldozer and we'll get some news about perhaps a new top of the line GTX5X0 from nVidia, and maybe some hints about AMD's next generation of video cards.
Today I will be looking at Sapphire's HD 6850 1GB Vapor-X Edition. The Vapor-X line is already well established and widely known, and I'm excited to see it continue to grow. The Vapor-X technology employs the same principle used by heatpipes, only in a different shape. A vessel with very low interior pressure (vacuum) contains a fluid that easily evaporates and condenses depending on the temperature. The condensed form absorbs lots of energy (heat) from the GPU die and evaporates, moves outwards where it is cooled, then condenses to complete the cycle. Just about every new video card and processor heatsink integrates this idea themselves, only that the Vapor-X line puts it together on a larger scale.
The Sapphire HD 6850 1GB Vapor-X Edition is just like that of the original HD 6850: 960 stream processors on a 40nm process die, 1GB of 256-bit GDDR5 memory, Eyefinity support, etc., but is clocked slightly higher at 800/4400mhz instead of the 780/4000mhz. I recently had good luck on overclocking Sapphire's HD 6950 2GB DiRT 3 Toxic Edition, and I am excited to give this card a shot. I will start off by showcasing the card, it's package, what's under the hood, and its specifications. Following that, I will give a shot at overclocking it and then the true tests will begin!
Closer Look:
The plain blue box of the HD 6950 Vapor-X Edition is a far cry from that of what I've seen in the past with Sapphire's extremely detailed and very artful boxes that are fun to look at. Instead, the box for this video card is rather plain. Its main color is blue with a black textured pattern "wrapping" over the edges, leaving the blue color in the shape of a 'V'. I'm not saying that the box looks bad, but it's almost like it was whipped up at the end of a Friday afternoon. Again, it still looks good, but is strangely different from Sapphire's historical boxes. The box contains all of the same information that you would expect on other Sapphire boxes, including "icons" for many of the features at the bottom of the front of the box. These icons include things like DirectX 11 and Eyefinity support, PCI Express 2.1, HDMI output, and others. There is also a DiRT3 sticker here, which means that there is a key for DiRT3 in the box — a $20 value.
The sides of the box show general specifications for the video card, such as related system requirements (for running things like HD video, OS for Direct X 11, and silly things like an open PCI Express slot. Other information includes the specifics: clock speeds, memory type and quantity, etc. The rear of the box is a little less technical than the sides; the information that's found here is more on the feature/explanation side. Things like the Eyefinity, DX11, 3D support, and other features that can be found with this card and things that are included are explained.
The box opens like that of just about any other video card box — the outer part is merely a sheath that slides off and exposes the interior, brown cardboard box. The flap on the cardboard box opens up and shows the card itself protected in an anti-static bag. Underneath this tray on top of which the card is placed are the accessories that we can generally expect. Here, I found the Crossfire bridge, HDMI cable, mini DisplayPort adapter, molex to 6-pin power adapters, DVI to VGA adapter, driver CD, DiRT3 key, user's manual, and some information from Sapphire.
With everything out of the box, I'll now start tuning into the card itself, its features, the cooler, and what's under the hood.

Why Field Trips, Technology and Project Based Learning?
Why Field Trips and technology and project based learning? They build schema and experience many of our students don't have.
School mission statements have revolved around developing students that know how to learn or teach themselves for many years.
"Students will develop the skills required to become lifelong learners,†has become almost a mantra in education. Then we go about this by doing what we have been doing forever – just more focused, organized and, "research based.†NCLB added "the stick†because obviously what was missing was strict accountability.
Language and math "literacy†have become the focus because the thinking is that underachieving students will never make it without the "3R's.†OK, fair enough – and some of those programs have made a difference - especially in primary grade reading and math test scores. However, as soon as students get to 3rd or 4th grade those scores drop and continue to drop more each grade level thereafter.
Why? Partly because the programs being mandated are so time consuming that there is no time for anything else (field trips, real science, real social studies, art, technology, PE, etc.) where students might experience at least some of the vocabulary and background knowledge required to make sense of what they read - and make it interesting. When students hit upper elementary, reading and math questions stress more and more analytical skills and vocabulary and students often just don't have the schema in those areas to be successful. Reading then is too often meaningless and boring.
Technology has become a new tool of literacy – like it or not. Just like long ago:
At a teacher's conference in 1703, it was reported that
students could no longer prepare bark to calculate problems. They depended instead on expensive slates. What would students do when the slate was dropped and broken?
According to the Rural American Teacher in 1928,
students depended too much on store bought ink. They did not
know how to make their own. What would happen when they
ran out? They wouldn't be able to write until their next trip to
the settlement.
We are not doing our students justice by not giving them experience with the new tools of literacy because we don't feel they know the old ones well enough. Technology is a gateway to learning that without the knowledge of its use students will be at a disadvantage compared to those that do.
Don't believe that yet? We will continue to convince you.

The ISPE Student Poster Competition is an annual competition held by local ISPE Affiliates and Chapters before 31 July each year. The poster presentation consists of a visual display of research findings combined with an interactive question and answer period with a panel of judges. Local winners advance to the International Student Poster Competition at the ISPE Annual Meeting.
Student Poster Competition Rules
The exact structure of the poster competition may vary in each Affiliate/Chapter (i.e., poster competition combined with a local Affiliate/Chapter event, or a stand-alone Affiliate/Chapter event). The winners of the undergraduate and graduate level will be decided at the local event.
Affiliates and Chapters that hold student poster competitions typically have paid for the local winners (undergraduate and graduate) to attend the Annual Meeting and compete in the International Student Poster Competition. Affiliates and Chapters are encouraged to support as many students as possible to attend and compete at the Annual Meeting in whatever way they deem appropriate. Any student that participates in their local competition can compete in the International Competition at the Annual Meeting.
ISPE student members in an area without an Affiliate or Chapter or whose Affiliate or Chapter did not hold a student poster competition can compete in the International Student Poster Competition.
Student Poster Competitors also may obtain financial support from the following sources: academic institution; fund raisers; parents; and earnings. Solicitation of funds from companies by students is strictly prohibited, but competitors may accept donations offered by companies.
If the students win and then graduate, they may still compete at the Annual Meeting in the fall under their original competition category.
See the 2018 Local Competition Winners' Abstracts
The International Student Poster Competition is held during the ISPE Annual Meeting. The international winners (undergraduate and graduate) will be announced at the Membership Luncheon during the Annual Meeting. Both the undergraduate and graduate student winners will receive cash awards and the opportunity to publish research in ISPE's magazine, Pharmaceutical Engineering, as well as other Affiliate/Chapter publications.
Before and after the completion of judging, the posters of all competitors will be displayed for the attendees of the Annual Meeting to view. Competitors will remain with their posters for the duration of the poster viewing session as indicated in the technical program of events or as directed by the manager of the event on-site.
Competitors are responsible for disassembly and removal of the poster following the viewing session and ISPE will not assume responsibility for materials left beyond the time limit specified.
Judges for the Affiliate/Chapter student poster competition will be selected by the Affiliate or Chapter. Judges for the international competition will be active ISPE members. Industry Advisors, mentors, and competitors should review the Poster Evaluation Form ( 41 KB) to become familiar with the evaluation criteria. To prepare for questions from the judges, competitors should keep in mind the diverse background/fields of specialty of the judging panel.

Packard: Owning a Park is Not All That Easy
August 16, 2010 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
In many ways, Randy Packard has an enviable life. He lives in a place other people spend money to just visit for a few days. Tall pines line a peaceful lake in central Massachusetts and nearby sits an inviting heated pool, the Boston Herald reported.
It could hardly get better, that is until the ice cream delivery man calls to say he's going on vacation for two weeks during the hottest month of the year, a 10th of the staff calls in sick and the paperwork stacks up.
It's one thing to visit paradise. It's another to own it.
Packard's family has been running Pine Acres Resort in Oakham, Mass., for half a century. While the product is pure fun, it is still a business. There are payrolls to meet, taxes to be paid and a long list of regulations to follow.
Those regulations are the hardest part, Packard said. The campground, which includes a small store, is regulated by several state agencies and local boards. In addition, there are the national groups that Packard has joined to get the campground on lists distributed around the country. All of this means numerous separate inspections throughout the year along with reams of paperwork.
"We're used to smiling at people and saying, 'Welcome,' " Packard said good-naturedly.
This work is on top of helping hundreds of campers move into their tents, RVs and cabins, while hundreds move out every week. Also to be managed is a staff of about 40 in the summer, 10 of whom stay year-round.
This is a job that Packard didn't want initially. He grew up in the campground watching his parents build it up from a handful of sites to dozens. Packard left for the real estate business.
He reconsidered his decision when then the recession of the 1980s hit.
"That's when I realized that there's another way of making a living that might be more enjoyable," Packard said.
He took over the park and almost immediately made improvements. He added more sites, paved the roads and put the utilities underground. Eventually, he built the swimming pool and then later added a splash pad for the children and installed Wi-Fi.
All of this was done slowly despite the temptation to get it all done at once. Packard said he wanted to maintain his cash flow without having a big commitment to a bank.
"I've seen other parks that got themselves into trouble," he said. "They tried to grow too quickly."
While other families have left the business, the Packards are planning to be here for a while. There are more improvements coming and Packard's daughter, Tessa Wisnewski, recently left the corporate world to join the family business. She had always wanted to, but felt it was important to get outside experience first.
"It's nice to have a different perspective," Wisnewski said.
Still, she's happy to be back at camp, even though she spends much of her time working on the books.

Colorado Rapids rookie forward Deshorn Brown scored just 15 seconds into Saturday's 5-1 home win over Seattle, making it the second fastest goal scored in Major League Soccer history.
[The official time was changed from 13 to 15 seconds by Major League Soccer after the review from statisticians, Opta. MLS notes that the official time of events is kept by Opta, not the clock on TV broadcasts]
Brown also scored the third goal of the game, giving him nine goals this season, the most by a Rapids player since 2010 (Omar Cummings, 14 goal).
On September 27, 2003, San Jose forward Dwayne De Rosario scored after just 11 seconds in his team's 5-2 win over Dallas.
Brown's goal was also, obviously, the fastest goal scored in Rapids history. The previous mark was held by Conor Casey, who on April 4, 2009 scored 16 seconds into the team's 3-2 win over the LA Galaxy.

What follows is an unprecedented All-ACC ballot. Relegating two of the conference's top three scorers to second team and bypassing the league's top three teams to find the player of the year?
In 29 seasons of ACC coverage, I've never considered such a combination. But here goes:
First team: North Carolina's Tyler Zeller, John Henson and Kendall Marshall, Virginia's Mike Scott and Duke's Austin Rivers.
That neglects the ACC's Nos. 1 and 3 scorers: Maryland's Terrell Stoglin and North Carolina's Harrison Barnes.
Stoglin was easier to drop because even his coach, Mark Turgeon, questions his shot selection and defense. For all his talent, Barnes' season fall just shy of the top five.
By the way, the last ACC leading scorer not to make first team was Clemson's Terrell McIntyre in 1999.
Florida State's Michael Snaer was difficult to omit as well, given his game-winning shots against Duke and Virginia Tech, and his on-the-ball defense.
Some might question Marshall, who averages a modest 7.2 points. But he averages 9.6 assists, which would equal the ACC record set byN.C. State's Chris Corchiani in 1991.
Second team: Snaer, Barnes, Stoglin, North Carolina State's C.J. Leslieand Wake Forest's C.J. Harris.
Third team: Miami's Kenny Kadji, Virginia Tech's Erick Green, Duke's Seth Curry, Florida State's Bernard James and N.C. State's Lorenzo Brown.
All freshman: Rivers, Maryland's Nick Faust, Virginia Tech's Dorian Finney-Smith and Boston College's Ryan Anderson and Dennis Clifford.
All defense: Henson, Snaer, James, Virginia's Jontel Evans and Clemson's Tanner Smith.
Rookie of the year: If Rivers isn't a unanimous choice, voting cards should be pulled. Rivers will be only Mike Krzyzewski's third rookie of year. The others were Chris Duhon and Kyle Singler.
Defensive player of year: In most years, Evans' ball-hawking would merit this award. But the 6-foot-11 Henson is freakish, with spidery arms that disrupt shots and passes. He leads the league in blocked shots and rebounds.
Coach of the year: Another tough call. North Carolina's Roy Williams, Krzyzewski, Florida State's Leonard Hamilton, Clemson's Brad Brownell, Miami's Jim Larranaga and N.C. State's Mark Gottfried all distinguished themselves.
Miami's 9-7 ACC record is its best in nine seasons of membership. N.C. State won its most league games since 2006.
But Virginia's Tony Bennett earned my vote – go ahead with the homer accusations – by coaxing a 9-7 ACC record out of an already offensively challenged team that then lost KT Harrell and James Johnson to transfers, and Assane Sene (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (foot) to injury, perhaps for the season.
Player of the year: The most difficult choice in memory. Zeller and Scott are beyond worthy, their numbers strikingly similar.
Scott averages 17.9 points and 8.3 rebounds, Zeller 16.3 and 9.3. They rank 1-2 in the ACC in shooting percentage, Scott at 57.3, Zeller 54.9.
In conference games: Scott 19.6, 7.7 and 54.7 percent; Zeller 18.5, 9.7 and 56.9.
The nod in such cases almost always goes to the player on the best team, and since North Carolina won the regular season and Virginia tied for fourth, I'm guessing Zeller will prevail.
In fact, the last ACC player of the year to hail from a team that finished below third in the standings was Maryland's Len Bias in 1986, when the Terps were sixth.
Although Krzyzewski endorsed Zeller after Carolina trounced Duke on Saturday, I voted for Scott, especially after he scored a career-high 35 points Sunday to carry the Cavaliers over Maryland, 75-72 in overtime, to all but cinch their first NCAA tournament bid since 2007.
The reasons: On many nights, Scott is Virginia's only viable scoring option and defenses smother him. Still, he thrives, taking and making far more difficult shots than Zeller. Conversely, Zeller is surrounded by All-ACC teammates such as John Henson, Harrison Barnes and Kendall Marshall. Double Zeller, and those guys are bound to make you pay.
Without Zeller, North Carolina is still a top-20 team. Without Scott, Virginia isn't a top 100 team.

Expert Insights On Peripheral Nerve Surgery For Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Expert Insights On Peripheral Nerve Surgery For Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
VOLUME: 16 PUBLICATION DATE: Sep 01, 2003
Issue Number: 9
Author(s): By Stephen L. Barret, DPM
Keck first described tarsal tunnel syndrome in the literature back in 1962 and it remains a controversial topic today.1 While tarsal tunnel syndrome is a prevalent and common condition, lower extremity peripheral nerve entrapments and other nerve pathology can be clinically difficult to appreciate and understand. Needless to say, making a decision to proceed with surgical intervention for this condition can also be difficult.
Experienced practitioners with a high degree of neurological understanding and appreciation for peripheral nerve pathology are more likely to focus on these problems early in the course of the disease. The patient may have precise symptoms such as a history of numbness or burning into the plantar aspect of the foot, and/or pain over the course of the distal bifurcation of the posterior tibial nerve.
However, you'll often hear the patient convey more abstract symptoms or symptoms that could be attributed to another condition like heel pain. Indeed, the patient may present with "classic" plantar fasciitis, which often turns out to be a multiple etiology heel pain syndrome (MEHPS), with components of both plantar fasciitis and neural involvement either of the medial plantar nerve, medial calcaneal nerve(s) or both.
Further questioning of these patients will often reveal that they have pain at night or when they are off their feet. Increased levels of activity often exacerbate symptoms. They might also describe their condition as nothing more than a feeling of tightness in their ankle. Oftentimes, they cannot tolerate an orthotic device if they are being treated for heel pain. It's also important to question patients about any prior trauma, like an ankle sprain or fracture, and whether they were immobilized for any period of time.
During the clinical evaluation, one must palpate the posterior tibial nerve to determine if it is tender or painful. Test the contralateral side as a comparison. While you will frequently note a positive Tinel's sign, remember that there is usually not a Tinel's sign in early and late stages of peripheral nerve compression.2 Occasionally, you may see a palpable mass or clinically significant pitting edema.
What You Should Know About Neurological Testing
Neurological testing of tarsal tunnel syndrome with standard electrodiagnostic testing has frequently been disappointing. Perhaps you've received a "normal" nerve conduction study report back from the neurological consultation despite the patient demonstrating significant symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome. However, with the advent of neurosensory testing with the Pressure Specified Sensory Device (PSSD)™, that scenario would be rare.3,4
As Weber pointed out, nerve conduction velocity studies in patients with clinical carpal tunnel syndrome demonstrated an 80 percent sensitivity and a 77 percent specificity.5 Testing the same patients with the PSSD resulted in a 91 percent sensitivity and 82 percent specificity. In my estimation, when it comes to tarsal tunnel syndrome, the rate of false negatives with NCV could be as high as 50 percent. Electrodiagnostic testing is also more expensive and painful for the patient.
In addition to being a much more sensitive test, neurosensory testing with the PSSD also enables you to stage the level of nerve entrapment and evaluate the success or failure of any attempted conservative modality or postoperative result.
Essential Pearls For Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Proper incision placement, as with any surgery, is imperative to providing the ultimate outcome in tarsal tunnel surgery. Be sure to plan the incision so you adequately address exposure to all four nerves in the medial ankle compartment. The ultimate goal in performing peripheral nerve surgery is to achieve a complete neurolysis of the nerve, eliminating any source of entrapment with minimal interruption of the sliding and gliding mechanism of that nerve post operatively.
In my opinion, meticulous dissection is imperative and requires 3.5 x to 4 x surgical loupes and bipolar cautery. When it comes to peripheral nerve surgery, one should avoid monopolar cautery as there is a cone of destruction that one cannot control. However, when you employ bipolar cautery, you can be assured there will be ideal hemostasis with no damage to adjacent tissues. Be careful not to burn the skin edges with any cautery. In my opinion, using a thigh tourniquet is mandatory.
There is little place for sharp dissection in peripheral nerve surgery, especially when it comes to tarsal tunnel decompressions. Using blunt Steven's tenotomy scissors, one can carefully spread the subcutaneous tissues apart without damaging the nerves. You'll often find that a medial calcaneal nerve branch can run right through the fatty tissues and there is no way to spare that nerve with sharp dissection.
Once you are down to the flexor retinaculum, you must be extremely careful as the neurovascular bundle is just below. Again, if you employ the aforementioned surgical technique, you minimize the risk of damage to these structures. It is important to note this anatomical area is rarely the site of true entrapment. However, it is imperative to complete the dissection of this portion of the posterior tibial nerve as it allows you to see the origin of the medial calcaneal nerve or nerves. This also gives you the ability to identify the proximal portion of the medial and lateral plantar nerve tunnels. You will almost always find large veins in and around the posterior tibial nerve. Keep in mind that these should rarely, if ever, be ligated.6
Identify the superficial fascia of the abductor hallucis muscle and incise it without damaging the underlying muscle belly. Proceed to retract the muscle plantarly. Doing so will expose the deep fascia of the abductor hallucis muscle. This fascial tissue forms the roof of the medial and lateral plantar tunnels, and acts as the termination of the septum, which separates the medial and lateral neurovascular bundles.
You must remove this septum and divide the fascial roof, which will allow for adequate decompression. Determine if there has been an adequate release by passing a finger into the area. You shouldn't notice any tightness and you should be able to pass your finger into the plantar aspect of the arch of the foot. With this stage of the procedure complete, proceed to identify the medial calcaneal nerve tunnel or tunnels, and decompress these, alleviating any distal compression on the nerve.7
Key Tips For Closing Tarsal Tunnel Incisions
Closure of the tarsal tunnel incision is very important and failure to pay close attention to this step can lead to disastrous consequences. We have found that by using intradermal 5-0 Monocril suture in an interrupted manner with the knots buried deep and combining this with surgical staples makes for an ideal skin closure. Since adopting this method of closure, we have seen no wound dehiscence, which may be the most frequent complication of the surgery.
By dorsiflexing the foot at the time of skin closure, we have also noted better cosmetic results.
How To Ensure Sound Postoperative Management
Proper postoperative management is essential for an optimal outcome with any type of peripheral nerve surgery. With tarsal tunnel decompression, it is imperative to move the patient immediately after surgery. All peripheral nerves slide and glide similar to tendons. If a patient is immobilized after a neurolysis/decompression, there will likely be fibrosis of the nerve with a less than optimal surgical result.
With a large Robert Jones-type dressing, patients are able to bear some weight on their feet immediately with the aid of crutches or a walker. This allows for movement of the nerve in addition to the active non-weightbearing range of motion exercises that I encourage for the patient. It must be emphasized that patients cannot do too much because they could tear their incisions.
Apply this bulky Jones-type compression dressing in such a manner that there is no real direct compression on the extremity. We do not want to compress something we just spent meticulous time in decompressing. However, you would apply a compressive wrap for 30 minutes after deflating the tourniquet and then remove the wrap.
Emphasize partial weightbearing for three weeks with a gradual increase in pressure and activity during this time. Remove sutures or staples at three weeks. These patients usually are fully active between three and five weeks, and should be informed that they can expect the swelling to dissipate over the next three to four months.
In Conclusion
Surgical intervention for lower extremity peripheral nerve pathology can be positively life-changing for the patient. However, a lack of adherence to sound surgical procedures, indelicate tissue handling and a lack of surgical experience with regard to nerve tissues could lead to disastrous consequences for the patient.

Cape May, New Jersey: Historic Resort Town near Vineyards
The Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean at Cape May, a tiny 2.8-mile stretch of land on the southern tip of the Cape May peninsula in New Jersey. Known for its cool summer temperatures and clean, picturesque beaches, Cape May has attracted travelers since the mid-18th century and is said to be one of the oldest seaside resort destinations in the United States. Steps from the Carroll Villa Hotel, gingerbread-like Victorian homes as well as quaint shops and restaurants line the streets of the historic district.
Several award-winning wineries can be found in the area, and many are open for tastings and tours. Another spot worth a visit is the iconic Cape May lighthouse, which you can climb to the top of for a sweeping view of the Delaware Bay.
Aside from attracting humans, Cape May has famously been a stopover for more than 400 migrating bird species. That makes it a top destination in the Northeast for bird watchers and marketing strategists trying to test hip new birdseed brands.

MorphOS 2.7 has been released, and it's mostly a bug-fix release. The one thing that stood out to me is that some work has gone into fixing bugs for several PowerPC G4 chips - more specifically, models used in PowerBook G4s. MorphOS has been demonstrated on the PowerBook G4, but official support for it has not been released yet.

A Medal of Honor: Warfighter map pack will strangely promote a Sony film, but it also aims to raise a million dollars for army-related charities.
Am i supposed to say "well done EA/Sony, thats very decent of you?" well im NOT!
If any other compnany had of donated money i would say well done, but Sony and EA are ONLY doing this to advertise MOH (we know MS doesnt give a monkeys about MOH) would Sony/EA of donated money if there wasnt a new game coming out? besides, theyll get there money back "well just add $1 extra for any dlc"
Dont be fooled by there "kindness"
And to think, i normally support Sony
people choose a life of murder and want help for when things go wrong? WTF screw the imperialist armies that still invade and pillage!!
Jingoistic video games being used to raise money for army charities?
That's good? Right?
Regardless of their motive, this is a good deed that they could have NOT done. It seems like MoH is trying to be more respectful towards our service men and women (which rarely get the credit they deserve).
To any current or former service men/women:
Thank you for your sacrifice, you are a hero and role model.
badass maps + promoting a movie about a real event in life that was important to America + Donating to Vets = WIN

Is the Corvette of your dreams one that you'd like to build or restore to your level of perfection, or would you rather your dream Vette be one that you acquire with the work already done? Matt Devlin is a Vette enthusiast who has owned, built, and restored nearly two dozen second-generation Vettes. But one Sting Ray that now graces his Overland Park, Kansas, garage is one that he didn't turn a wrench on. In fact, not only was it a completed car when he got it, it was the ultimate trend-setting, show-stopping Midyear: The first "Pro Classic" Corvette built by Rich Lagasse.
A quick refresher. "Pro Classic," as Rich defines it, means to achieve a complete package which fully integrates the latest in technology available to improve performance, comfort, handling, and appearance of the car, while retaining the integrity of the original design.
Matt says that he first laid eyes on it via the Internet, not long after Rich had completed it. "I came across Rich Lagasse's website, saw the '67, and totally fell in love with the car," he says. "I read everything on the site about the car, and I liked his approach to building it. I'd restored several Corvettes in my lifetime, but he'd gone to the next level, and I was just blown away by that."
What specifically attracted Matt to this car? "That it retained all of the original body lines," says Matt. "The side pipes, bumpers, and fenderwells were original, as was the '67 big-block hood." Also grabbing Matt's eye was the then-new 17-inch American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels, the 502-inch big-block under the hood, and that brighter-than-bright red color on the perfectly-prepared C2 body.
An email from Matt to Rich led to a quick reply, and the two struck up a friendship over the next half-dozen years. "Rich told me how he designed and made the three-bar spinners and adapters," says Matt of their subsequent conversations. "Nobody else had those, but now somebody's copied them and everyone has them-but Rich was the innovator.
That friendship also included a special Christmas present one year that Matt's wife, Carol, got thanks to Rich. Matt tells the story: "One of the pictures on Rich's website of the '67 showed a big poster of it, hanging on the wall behind the car. Carol contacted Rich and asked if there was any way to get a copy of that poster. This wasn't a paper poster-it was a beautiful piece on vinyl. Rich went back to the people who did it for him, who'd saved the artwork, and they made another one for him. That Christmas, she gave me this huge tube for my Christmas present. I opened it up and unrolled that thing, and I saw that was the poster of the '67, and it brought a tear to my eye. I thanked her, called Rich, and hung it in my garage. At no time did I ever think I'd come to own that '67 Corvette."
But that opportunity arose in 2005. "Rich called and told me that he was thinking of selling the '67 to start another project, and he wanted to know if I'd be interested in it," Matt remembers. "I said, 'Of course I'm interested, Rich, but I don't know if I could afford it or not.' He said, 'Matt, it's more important to me that the car goes to a good home and to someone that would appreciate it as much as Barb and I have.'" A couple days' worth of back-and-forth negotiating led to the deal for Matt to buy the '67. "I actually had a knot in my stomach for two days while we were talking that over," he says. "Once we arrived at the price, I felt like I could breathe again!"
That was nothing compared to July 11, 2005-the date when Matt took delivery of the Sting Ray in Fremont, Ohio, halfway between Matt's home and Rich's. "We went there to meet him, and of course, I was early," says Matt. "I was sitting on the curb in the parking lot when he pulled in with it. We met, he dropped the trailer door, and I saw it for the first time in person. He said, 'What do you think?' I said, 'I don't deserve this!' It far exceeded my expectations."
It also exceeded anyone's expectations with features that were seen for the first time on it. Along with the 17-inch Torq-Thrust wheels, other items making their first appearance on this car included the power brake booster, made to clear the left valve cover of the GMPP 502 crate engine, and the headers that let it breathe easy. "Those are the first set of 'block huggers' that Sanderson made for the 502," explains Matt.
When Matt brought the '67 home to Kansas, his neighbors-including those familiar with his Corvette exploits-heard about it in a big way at about 2 a.m. "When I fired it up to put it in the house, it sounded like John Force just lit the candles on his funny car." Not only that, says Matt with a big laugh, all the neighbors' lights came on-and his wife, Carol, ran inside their house!
Just as hot as the candles on a nitro-burning race car is the shade of red on this Midyear. You won't find it on any paint-maker's palette. "It's Rich's own paint formula, and it's the most beautiful red that I've ever seen," Matt says. "It just draws people to it like a magnet. When I go to a show and place the car there, everyone stops what they're doing, comes over, and looks at that car."
And show it he does. "I've won multiple Best of Show awards with it," Matt says. "I've won GM Appreciation Awards and People's Choice Awards with it. Every place that I've ever taken that car, it makes people's jaws drop." That also included an invitation to be in the "Chip's Choice" display at Corvettes at Carlisle.
Matt also points out that the '67's change of home enabled more Vette lovers and show-goers to see it than before. "One of the good things about buying the '67 from Rich was that it would be in a different part of the country, where other people could enjoy it. I've showed it in Kansas City, Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma-any place that I've taken the car. People's jaws just drop when I roll that car out."
Matt's enjoyment of this Midyear isn't limited to showing it. Rich built the '67 to drive, and Matt enjoys the time he spends in it on the road. "The car is totally awesome!" he says when asked what it's like to drive. "It actually does drive like a new Corvette. First of all, the sound of the 502 big-block through the side pipes is just music. It is incredible."
Then there's the handling. "With the VBP suspension system under it, the car steers, drives, and feels like it has 50/50 weight distribution," says Matt. "The '67 handles like it's on rails-it corners flat, and it stays flat as a pancake around corners, while smoothing out the bumps in the road." But that's not all. "It has tremendous power, and as long as I'm hooked up, it goes exactly where I point it. But it'll quickly overpower the back tires."
If the idea of having a modern, high-tech, Pro Classic Vette Rod in your garage overpowers your previous Corvette dreams, Matt says, "Go for drivability and improvement of the ride." He adds, "I have a completely-original '65 Corvette convertible that I drive, and it drives like a pickup truck compared to this."
If you're a regular Corvette Fever reader, you've no doubt seen Rich Lagasse's handiwork, especially in the stories about the build of his '63 Sting Ray "Split Personality" coupe. Matt says of the friend who sold him the '67, "Rich's idea of it going to a good home was big. He could've sold that car for a lot more money than what he sold it to me for." He adds this about Rich and his wife Barb. "They're just the sweetest, most down-to-earth honest people that I've met in my life. They have integrity and all those good things. I not only benefitted by getting this wonderful car, but a wonderful friend at the same time."
But don't ask Rich how to get that shade of red that's on his '63 and Matt's '67. "He's willing to share any of his ideas other than the color of the paint, because he keeps that to himself," says Matt. "When I bought the car, the section in the build files that had to do with the paint color was empty. I scratched the oil pan one time, and I needed to repaint it. I did get the color, but I had to do the double-dare, cross-your-heart, never-tell kind of thing to get it!"
