TULSA — When Memphis coach Josh Pastner first presented the idea, Chris Crawford wasn't immediately sold on moving from the starting lineup to the bench.
With the NCAA tournament right around the corner, he's showing just how dangerous he can be no matter his role.
Crawford set career-highs with 24 points and six 3-pointers, Adonis Thomas scored 17 points and the 20th-ranked Tigers beat Tulane 81-68 Thursday night in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA tournament.
It was the second straight game and third time in the last four that Crawford put up his new best scoring total of the season. He's averaging 19.5 points over the last four games, after scoring 8.3 per game in the first 24.
"When he first told me, I was looking at him like he was crazy. I wasn't feeling it at first," Crawford said. "But I'm a team guy, so I was willing to sacrifice for my teammates. I'm just trying to do whatever it takes to win.
"We're an unselfish team. That's just me being unselfish as a teammate and knowing that I've got my guys' backs."
The top-seeded Tigers (28-4) took control by scoring the final 14 points of the first half, with Crawford hitting a pair of 3-pointers and then soaring for a right-handed dunk on a fast break to finish it off and make it 44-27. D.J. Stephens also had a two-handed slam and a putback during the big burst.
Crawford made five of his seven 3-point tries in the first half, and eighth-seeded Tulane (19-14) could never get closer than 10 after that.
"Chris has learned that he is an energy guy. He is at his best when he is positive energy," Pastner said. "He's not a focus guy because he is so cerebral as a player. He is an energy guy, and when he is positive energy, it is contagious, it radiates, it's enthusiastic throughout our whole team and it makes his individual play that much better.
"I'm so proud of Chris with his positive energy. That's why he's at a high level right now — a very, very high level."
Josh Davis had 21 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Green Wave, and Jordan Callahan chipped in 18 points. Callahan also tied Michael Christian's school record, set in 1989-90, with 77 3-pointers on the season.
Memphis, trying to win its seventh Conference USA tournament in eight years, won its 22nd straight game in the series between the two teams.
Tulsa beats E. Carolina 79-72, advances to semi's
Scottie Haralson scored 22 points, James Woodard added 17 and Tulsa has a date with top seeded Memphis in the Conference USA tournament semifinals with a 79-72 win over East Carolina on Thursday night.
Tulsa (17-14) led 14-6 midway through the first half but watched the Pirates use a 24-11 rally to take a 30-25 lead at halftime. It wasn't until Pat Swilling Jr. hit a 3-pointer with 2:35 to go before Tulsa was able to regain the lead at 66-65. The Golden Hurricane never trailed again.
Shaquille Harrison had 12 points and D'Andre Wright scored 10 points and grabbed seven rebounds off the bench for Tulsa.
Maurice Kemp led East Carolina (18-12) with 24 points, 11 rebounds and five assists.
Tulsa will play No. 1 Memphis on Friday for a chance to play in the C-USA title game Saturday. The Golden Hurricane lost to Memphis 94-64 in their only matchup of the season Feb. 2.
UTEP beats Houston 80-69 in Conference USA
Julian Washburn led six UTEP players in double figures with 20 points and the Miners defeated Houston 80-69 on Thursday in the Conference USA tournament quarterfinals.
UTEP (18-13), the No. 3 seed, will play second-seeded Southern Mississippi, an 81-66 winner over UAB, in Friday's first semifinal.
Jacques Streeter had 13 points and 12 assists for the Miners. Konner Tucker scored 12 points, McKenzie Moore scored 11 — all in the second half — and Cedrick Lang and C.J. Cooper had 10 points apiece.
The Cougars (19-12) only led once, at 16-15, but stayed close until UTEP took a 60-50 lead with 7 minutes to play.
TaShawn Thomas led Houston with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Danuel House scored 12 and J.J. Thompson scored 11 for the sixth-seeded Cougars, who beat Rice in Wednesday's first round.
Southern Mississippi defeats UAB 81-66
Neil Watson scored 23 points and Dwayne Davis scored 20 to lead second-seeded Southern Mississippi to an 81-66 victory over UAB on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA tournament.
The Golden Eagles (24-8) will play UTEP in Friday's semifinals. The Miners defeated Houston 80-69.
Watson and Davis had five assists apiece, and both went 7 for 11 from the field with Davis making four 3-pointers and Watson three. Davis was coming off of back-to-back 30-point games against Marshall and UCF.
Southern Miss shot 53 percent, led 40-26 at halftime and never saw its second-half lead dip below seven points.
Rod Rucker scored 20 points to lead the Blazers (16-17), the No. 7 seed. Preston Purifoy added 10 points. UAB beat SMU 53-52 in the first round on Wednesday.

What is wrong with the website this year? Not 1 Photo or Video this season. No interviews. There is not a single video highlight of any play this season in Fort Myers. It is as though the season may have never existed to this point. The surprising part is no one seems to care but me.
Who are these prospects and what do they look like? CR Kernels post 100's of photos from each game on there Facebook page. Who is in charge of exposure for the club? Maybe if people knew what the

Q&A with Matt Tomshaw
The Miracle are the only affiliate not to have Video and/or Photos on their website from this season. We are 30+ game in to season and fans have no way to evaluate their prospects other than the written material they read on website. I would love to see what some of these guys look like (even an occasional photo).
Despite new ownership move - what is the excuse for limited news coverage? How awesome would it have been to see Buxton score from 2nd on a wild pitch? Etc. Etc.
Adam Brett Walker II hit the first pitch he saw in his first MLB game and drove it out of Jet Blue Stadium for a 2 run Home Run and the start of a key 7th inning rally, in which the Twins took the lead for good (7-4). It was the most runs the Twins had scored since March 14th.
This kid is special. Does anyone know of the last time a Twin to hit a HR on his first professional MLB pitch? He followed his great start off with a double to left center in his next AB. 2 for 2 on the day.

Matthew Herper, Forbes Staff
I cover science and medicine, and believe this is biology's century.
Last summer, after writing a profile of Bernard Munos, who has made it his calling to understand what goes into pharmaceutical innovation, I posted two very simple tables based on Munos' data: of the drug companies that had approved the most drugs over the past decade, and over the past sixty years. I argued at the time (and still feel) that this is a pretty good surrogate for how good these companies were at being pharmaceutical firms — because a drug company's main job is to invent new medicines and get them to patients.
Anyway, when I contacted Munos about a profile I was writing of the company that topped the ten-year list (that's Novartis, and you can read the story in the current issue of Forbes) he wrote back with measures over a different time frame — 15 years. Novartis also winds up being tops in that window, too, with 21 new drugs (or new molecular entities, in pharma jargon) compared to 16 for Merck. I thought it was worth laying out those numbers too. What's interesting is that the analysis bridges that long-term time period and the past decade, when much of the drug business has been in an innovation drought. And however you do it, the same names end up near the top: not only Novartis but also J&J and Merck. I'll have more on this data soon — including how much companies are spending per drug. For now I just want to thank Munos and his InnoThink Center for Research in Biomedical Innovation for providing this data.
|Number of Drugs
|Bristol-Myers Squibb
|Hoffmann-La Roche
|Abbott (1)
|Pharmacia & Upjohn
Source: Bernard Munos, InnoThink Center for Research in Biomedical Innovation
So finally we disagree Matt. The measure of a great drug company is not how many drugs they patent and market; it's what those drugs do to make life better (quality of life) and save lifes (quantity of life).
Let's talk about life-saving antibiotics — Antibiotics for acute infections are a pillar of medicine, but the pillar is crumbling as pharmaceutical companies neglect antibiotic development and instead pursue gigantic profits from chronic illnesses and lifestyle diseases.
The pharmaceutical industry really hasn't put a lot of money into antibiotic development in recent years. Why? There's not a good return on investment with antibiotics when you compare them to drugs for diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases that need lifelong medication.
Roche doesn't place well in new innovative drugs, but how many lives did their antibiotic Rocephin save? And how many painless procedures that were lifesaving could be done because of their conscious sedation drug Versed?
I guess we rate pharmaceutical companies differently.
Dr. Ken Romeo
I am certainly not a "plant" for Roche. How can we ever forget the pharmaceutical bomb of all time….Xenical.
Or, more accurately, the big pharma companies buy a partnership with the small biotech firms who actually invent the compounds that you constantly write about. I guess we are on the same page afterall.
More accurately Sankyo invented statins: mevastatin, a product that was never marketed, because of safety problems.
Boyd Woodruff, then executive administrator of Merck, heard through the pharmaceutical network that Sankyo had a patent application covering mevastatin, and he inquired about obtaining a sample for evaluation under a confidentiality agreement. Sankyo assented and provided samples of the compound together with a report on its properties.
The full story can be read here: http://www.thirdage.com/cholesterol/statins-from-fungus-to-pharma
It would have been helpful to split out the role that Genetech played in lifting Novartis to the top of you list.
Matthew – Thanks for the article. Being involved with healthcare in South Africa, these Top companies play a great role but companies that truly changes peoples lives daily due to accessibility, cost and availability will change this rating of top companies completely. I agree with the facts and stats but must say – Rating FDA approval data to determine and name the article "Best Drug companies" isn't worth much in patient care in South Africa. Thank you for listing the article – please send more. Africa Greetings – Fanie Hendriksz
NS: Great articles can come from this

Arizona Diamondbacks draft paralyzed former top prospect
Hahn was one of the nation's top prospects in 2010, when he was California's Mr. Baseball after leading Mater Dei High School to a state title.He was drafted in the 26th round by San Diego that year, but likely would have gone much higher had he not announced plans to play at Arizona State.Hahn's college career lasted three games.Playing against New Mexico on Feb. 20, 2011, he suffered a spinal injury after sliding head-first on a steal attempt and colliding with Lobos second baseman Kyle Stiner's knee.
Hahn was taken off on a stretcher and had surgery later that night, but was paralyzed from the mid-chest down after fracturing his C-5 vertebrae. He's spent the past two years helping Arizona State's program as a student coach.The Diamondbacks waited until the 34th round to pick Hahn because he wore No. 34 at ASU. He was eligible for this year's draft because he's in his third year out of high school.

The Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego has trekked into the wilderness of ABA-approved online law degrees. It has created the first online law degree to be offered by an ABA-approved school – ever.
As online schools change the landscape of college options, the American Bar Association (ABA) has watched from the sidelines, carefully considering whether any online law program is worthy of its approval. Until recently, none has met the ABA's tough standards. This has concerned those who feel that student entry into law school has become elitist, with a lack of adequate representation of women and minorities.
But now, the Thomas Jefferson School of Law (TJSL) offers an online degree — the LL.M., or Master of Laws degree. The focus of this advanced law degree is on international tax and financial services, with a line-up of distinguished law professors and an interactive format designed to intertwine the latest educational technology with top legal talent.
Thomas Jefferson School of Law seeks to be a pioneer in utilizing faculty excellence and a well-engineered multimedia program to bring the training of lawyers into the technology forefront, introducing the opening up of new options for those who wish to make a difference by extending justice and legal expertise where it is needed.
Although TJSL's online degree is pricey at roughly $1,000 a unit, the school has constructed a successful model for future online law degree programs.
This taming of the online law school wilderness by TJSL and others will hopefully lead to an opening up of online legal education to those who are qualified and motivated to make a positive difference in their communities and the world.
online degree, online law degree, law school, online schools, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, American Bar Association, Master of Laws, international tax law, financial services, technology, education, educational technology, lawyer, San Diego, bar exam
Popularity: 55% [?]
Until there is a JD program online that is accepted by the ABA, there is no real online law degree in the way people view law degrees.
Even worse and this is from the website:
"To qualify for admission to the TJSL LL.M. Program, students submitting an application must have earned their first law degree (LL.B. or equivalent) outside the United States.
the TJSL LLM program is NOT open to people who went to school in the US.
You may be interested in an article about online law schools in the New York Times entitled, Virtual Jurisprudence (April 2004). The article focuses primarily on Concord Law School; and it highlights the future benefits of a virtual law degree and the not-so-lofty reasons why the American Bar Association is not motivated to fully approve any online law school, no matter how high the quality of that virtual school's education. I hope you find the article illuminating.
Regarding the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, the quote PHEEEE provided was taken out of context. TJSL offers 3 different LL.M. programs, including the LL.M. in American Legal Studies for Foreign Law Students. Obviously, the qualifications for that program include being a graduate of a foreign law school. TJSL has stringent requirements for any foreign student applying for their other law degree programs.
In addition, TJSL is fully approved by the American Bar Association.
I am interested in how many states will allow you to take their bar exam with an LLM done at your School ??? Pa Ky ???
Although Concord Law School is one of our listed colleges, TJSL is not. You may directly contact Thomas Jefferson School of Law for additional answers to your question. But since they are an ABA-approved law school, eligibility for the state bar should not be a problem, provided the bar exam applicant has successfully graduated from TJSL and has met all other requirements.
Perhaps ABA should consult with educators familiar with on line learning. Being and expert in law does not necessarily make one an expert on pedagogy or educational psychology.
I have taught online and know how engaging it can be. Like anything, it can be used correctly or incorrectly. However, every online discussion and posted work in every online classroom can be saved for future accreditation review as a simple matter of archiving the existing data. It is more difficult to do this with live classrooms. Indeed, it would be a monumental task.
ABA has to come out of the 19th century and realize that law schools have 21st century students, problems and needs.
Fight for what is right
I just don't see why we need to be subject to this standards such as the ABA rules. Plus, besides the the ABA is a volunteer program that lawyers are not require to register. Is just merely serves as a token that you are in and that is it.
Why can we study the same way our founder fathers did. Look at Lincoln for example; he didn't go to law school, he learned by self-taught. The problem occurs that these schools think they are the only ones that can teach the law. These agencies such as the ABA or society has brain wash us that the only way to attain in legal education is by going through the whole blahbie blahbie traditional law school method. And in my opinion, I don't believe that this is the only way to have a legal education. Remember… education happens at all times. We learn every day as we grow old. And you know what they say, " Experience is what counts at the end" We all have the capabilities to reason and analyze problems in a lawyerly like manner. The only thing that stopping us from thinking like lawyers is the RULES OF LAW that is it. If you know how to add 1+1 and come up with the answer; then you already know how to break and apply the rule of law to a case.
Let's say for example that your car got broken into in the middle of the night. You went outside and you discover that your passenger window is completely broken into pieces and your brand new system such as your CD player you just bought– is now gone.
How would you determined whether the suspect is criminally liable for this offense? I tell you how you need to do it. You'll do it by analyzing the facts, plus applying the law to the facts. But first you need to find out whether Burglary is a crime in your state (which am sure Burglary it is) Let's brake this rule.
Is The breaking
and entering
of the dwelling house
of another
in the the nighttime
with the intent to commit a felony or larceny therein
Let's play.
How do you think prosecutors prosecute someone of such crimes? They do it by finding every single piece of the rule. Which most law schools they call it " Legal Reasoning" Well now that you know that– all you have to do is to prove that you have every single piece of the rule.
Let's see if we have every piece of it.
Ask yourself this question. What is the issue here? Can the suspect be charge with the crime of Burglary?
Your issue is BURGLARY >.. ANYTHING YOU SAY< must be explained. Such as the 1+1=2.
Larceny occured when he detached the CD player from the car itself and took it with him. Therefore suspect is criminally liable and thus burglary is establish.
You see how simple this is.
But you have be very analytical. If they ask you one thing, talk about one thing only. Don't deter yourself from adding stuff out your head that the facts does not state BE VERY ANALYTICAL!!
Do you see how simple this is? Of course, writing can be a pain the rear end. But focus on the story, don't worry about grammar and all that non-sense crap they teach us at English class. Focus on CLARITY and don't forget your audience. Make the story your own. Make the facts come alive. And LEARN THE RULES. If you do this, you will do awsome in your essays.
As one professor said "FORGET ALL THE RULES of GRAMMAR and FOCUS ON CLARITY"
As you can see, everything is possible. Now, let me ask you somthing… Do we need to go to law school and spend thousands of dollars to teach us how to analyze the rules of law and think like a lawyer? No we don't. What we need is to bring back the way our founders father did when they studied law.
I know that law can be complex but if you know the rules, you'll will do just fine. Understanding law at first, it might a scary thing at first– but if Abraham Lincol did it– so can we. Law school is nothing but a waste of money that about the time you graduate you will indebted to all those loans you have attained to fund your education. They come up with this great sayings that law school is a great investment and blah, blah, blah… Yeah, is a great investment for them. Because you are the one making them rich. You are one that's going to be stuck paying for all those loans for the rest of your life. I know a friend of my friend that he was telling him that he wishes he hadnt go to law shool because now he is stuck with this $100,000 plus interest loan that he is going to have to pay for the term of 30 years. And that about the time he starts seeing his profit he will be 45 years old. And let me tell you, right after law school do you think you are goin to make the big bucks?!!? think again my friend. You might be lucky if you get hire at a reasonable salary. My point is that all states should create a statute mandating these agencies stating that– All persons are created equal and that if its citizens of said jurisdiction is there in the persue of study of law and desires to become a lawyer, advocate or officer of the court,can do so without limitations and that it is his right as a citizen to take such examination without being discriminated by any means or his intellectual ability to perform such examination thus making him/she intitled to such test or examination therein.
Thanks for reading.
Jason, I totally share your views. Its scandalous how the ABA continues to insist on one rigid framework for what qualifies as a law degree. It ain't all that difficult. If you can pass the same exams, no matter what system you followed to get you there, what is the problem???
Many other degrees are now acceptable via the online route. The subject matter of law though dense is not so difficult.
The pressure must continue to mount so that this alternative for learning becomes accepted if only for the simple fact that it suits the schedules of many intelligent people who would not be able to study law otherwise.
ABA needs to get with it, stop protecting private interest and change policy.
Online Law degree should catch on. Online degrees are a savings in gas, time and energy. Brilliant concept which will definitely be the future of higher education. As for the TJSL online degree at a price of $100k. Yes, immediate debt but if you look online at the average salary of a tax attorney you'll find plus bonuses its comes in at about $150 – 250k/per yr.
According to the ABA official website there are NO ABA approved online law schools.
why not create a competing association?
I am about to change the criteria. ABA your History.
I would like to commence studying as early as possible.
Thank you very kindly.
1. According to the ABA there are no ABA accredited online law schools.
2. In order to sit the bar in many states you need to go to an ABA accredited school. There are exceptions. Massachusetts allows grads of Mass Law Andover to sit the bar but they are not ABA accredited.
3. In many states a LLM is not sufficient to sit for the bar exam. You need a JD or higher credential or you need to pass the bar in a state with lower requirements and practice for a number of years for reciprocity to kick in, then take the bar.
As of right now the only U.S. state that allows online grads to sit the bar immediately after graduation is California, and you must have a JD from those schools. If you want to practice in CA for a few years you may be able to get reciprocity from other states.
Nothing trumps the knowledge you'll get by checking with your state board of regents and your state bar association before committing to any law school, online or brick and mortar.
I've been included in taxes for lengthier then I care to admit, both on the personal side (all my working life story!!) and from a legal standpoint since passing the bar and pursuing tax law. I've offered a lot of advice and redressed a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you've posted makes impeccable sense. Please uphold the good work – the more individuals know the better they'll be equipped to handle with the tax man, and that's what it's all about.
I reside in CA and I want to go online to earn my J.D.,after reading the string of informative comments, can anyone suggest what i need to do best. I am confused and afraid that i might get stuck in an online law school and later on end up in a problem since non of these online schools are ABA approved. I cannot go traditional school because of time constraints. What is the best thing anyone??? my time is running out. thanks mark
Mark, and others interested in online Law programs, here is my two cents. You have all been on point, I live in Florida and I have been interested in pursing a degree in Law, but because of my work constraints and the value I place on my wife and children, I have chosen Concord Law School at Kaplan University, I am currently enrolled in the EJD program and this is definitely the right law program for the working person. It is true that you can complete a law degree online in about 4 years. The online program is very simple to follow; you have "real time" lectures, weekly and reading assignments. All of the lectures are achieved. Concord Law School is not ABA accredited but you can take the CA bar. There are already some states that allow you to take their BAR, and there will be more to follow. There is a very talked about case of a graduate from Concord Law School who passed the JD program with a very high GPA and also passed the CA BAR and scored very high who, challenged his state (MA) to allow him to take the BAR and won and subsequently his is practicing attorney in MA. Concord Law School at Kaplan University also offers: Concord's Juris Doctor Program is grounded in the core bar courses, with the first two years devoted entirely too required courses. Terms are one year long and students must successfully complete a total of 92 units, at least 22 to 24 units of coursework in 48 to 52 consecutive weeks each of the four years. Graduates of the JD program will have met the legal education requirement of the Committee of Bar Examiners, State Bar of California, and may apply for admission to the State Bar of California; it also offers an The Executive Juris Doctor program is a 72-unit, three-year, part-time program. After the first year, during which the EJD students take the same foundational courses required of the Juris Doctor student, there is a great deal of flexibility in course selection. In the second and third years, EJD students are encouraged to construct a curriculum plan centered on their interests and career needs. Enrollees also have somewhat more flexibility in their pace of study as they are not required to adhere to the strict guidelines of the State Bar of California. In addition the objective in the EJD program is to ensure a solid background in core areas while providing the student with the latitude to create a study plan that reflects his or her goals and interests. Students master the foundational courses of Contracts, Torts, Criminal Law, and Legal Writing and Test-Taking in the first year. In years two and three, EJD students have the flexibility to choose broadly from the course offerings or focus their study through a series of tracks: Traditional Track with fewest number of required courses; offers the greatest breadth of study; Technology Track for individuals with a background or interest in technology; this track includes required courses and elective options at Kaplan University; Criminal Justice for individuals with a background or interest in criminal justice; this track includes required courses and elective options; and a Health Law track. I currently attend the EJD program because I will develop my wife's Dental Practice to me this program works best. I did start in the JD program because I do not plan on practicing law, but for others who do, this is it, this is definitely the future of education-online or what they referrer to as distance learning. On last comment, people who oppose online Law programs are the ones who are bitter that they had to sit for four years in a brick and mortar school. The point is, if you are able to complete a law program no mater what means you used, (granted that you do complete the same courses), and take the BAR and pass it, does it matter how I learned it?
Good Luck!!
Can someone please elaborate on which exact states these are that accept reciprocity after practicing in California for a number of years ~ & can someone please elaborate on which states allow you to sit for their bar after completing an JD with LLM!! Thank you so very much ~ I'm ready to go!
i.e. which states allow you to sit for their bar after practicing in Cali. for a number of years ~ Thank you.
This article was well done. This site was very informative.I am grateful for this information.
It's a shame the ABA is so limiting to individuals wanting to seek a law degree online. Online college education has become increasingly ever so popular. ABA needs to understand why? It is due to time constraints. We have time constraints because the economy is in a financial critical status. Employment is slim and for those who have employment, are stuck dedicating 90 % of their time working for their employer in order to prevent risking their financial obligations. The financial obligations include the following: Rent, mortgage, gas, groceries, etc. Most of us are afraid to compact college education in a traditional setting at a university because we are afraid it will cause conflict of interest in our work schedules. Therefore, having to risk compromising either or. I currently attend an accredited school for criminal justice at Colorado Technical University obtaining an Associates in Science of Criminal Justice. I love it as it is worth it. It allows you the time to set your schedule accordingly without having to compromise much. Yet, in my hearts of desires, I truly desire to attend law school. I have been told I need to be a lawyer for my career. I know too much about the laws, the court system, etc. More over, I'm stuck in a predicament. I cannot go to an accredited ABA law school because I have to work to keep a roof over my head. I'm stuck choosing a more suitable college education to fit my priorities and time schedule. I would love to be a criminal defense attorney, but I have to be practical. I think the ABA needs to further study the new tradition of college education and perhaps consider the possibility of adding more accredited online law schools so that those individuals who are fit for a position can obtain them. Society has changed and so does everything else. It's time for the ABA to move forward too.
ON the American Bar Association website: http://www.abanet.org/legaled/publications/compguide2005/compguide2005.html
The website lists the various requirements of each state to sit for their bar exam. You can sit for bar exams in other states after passing the bar exam in California. Currently California is the only state that allows you to sit for the bar exam directly after receiving your JD from an online law school. Once you pass this exam then other states will allow you to sit for their exam, but there might be limitations, such as you might need to practice law for a period of time.
I agree time and money is limited and the education you receive is just as good as mortar and brick school. And speaking of which, just because you went to a mortar and brick school and passed the bar doesn't mean you are a good lawyer. I say open it up and let everyone sit for the bar exams, either they pass or they don't. What it boils down to is control and money. The Bar Association is sitting behind the fact that the socratic method is what makes a lawyer and you loose that with online law schools. Well California School of Law offers the socratic method, you attend virtual class on Tues/Thurs, so it can be done. Once, again, just because you passed a brick and mortar school doesn't mean you're good, it just means you know how to take tests. I know many people who are terrible at testing, but are excellent at what they do. I say, American Bar Association, GROW UP AND MOVE ON and realize their are a great deal of people out there who have a lot to offer, don't deny the world our talent……
I would like to thank everyone for sharing their thoughts, experiences and so on. The information has been helpful to me but disappointing to know that the ABA is extremely controlling. I am unable to go to a brick and mortar law school only because of my responsibility of raising my daughter alone due to divorce and of course working. I can only pray and hope that there is something that I can do to help diminish ABA's control over mankind's needs and desires.
I'm considering Northwestern California Law School for my JD degree. Has anyone heard of this school? It's very affordable and it fits my crazy work schedule. It's 102 units compared to 92 from Concord Law School and also 4 yr program. Please advise. Many thanks
I earned a law degree in Mexico in 2000 and an online master degree in criminal justice (Boston University) in 2008. Resident of Alaska since 2001.I am a mother of 4, married 7 years ago. I am the main support of my family. Due to family and financial difficulties I had to quit my law related job to open a Child Care.
After two years in the child care business I decided it was the perfect time to restart my law career. I choose to practice law in Alaska but as per the Alaska Bar Association I can't sit for the bar exam unless I go to an ABA accredited law school for at least 2 years. I am more than willing to go back to a law school, unfortunately Juneau, Alaska does not have law school. Even though it is the capital of Alaska our college opportunities are limited. The person who attended my call at the Alaska bar told me that her advice would be to go to the nearest law school from Juenau, which is Tacoma, WA. I don't think she got it. I know that she was doing her job but it is not easy to move out of town with a family of 6, I can't just move to attend a brick and mortar law school, who is going to pay my bills? if I was single with no children that will be a different story.
I have the understanding that The Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego may be a good candidate to be an ABA accredited online law school, especially for me that I earned my law degree outside the US. I would like to make the difference and have the same opportunities big cities have. Online schools are such a great chance to move forward in my career and I am sure a big number of people agree with me.
There should be a solution for people like me. Having a family and live in a very small town should not be an obstacle to be a professional. It would be easy for me to apply for food stamps and live in public housing depending on the government while I go to school. I think I can do it better. I love my profession, I really want to do what I know, practice law, but if the ABA does not care about us who is going to? What other choices I have? I want solutions, because I don't want to be part of the problem. I am a mom, minority please don't stop my dreams.
Thanks for explaining that point, everything is clearer now.
Someone correct me if I am wrong. One plan I thought of was to finish my JD at Northwestern Cal. School of Law, earn my LLM at Thomas Jefferson ( or not even go to Tjsl), waive into Washington D.C., which has reciprocity with many states. Then practice in my state.
Can you provide any further information regarding the individual from MA who was ultimately able to take the BAR there?
I am in a similar situation, obviously this is an important precedent.
Thomas Jefferson School of Law is wilderness of ABA-approved online law degrees.Thomas Jefferson School of Law offers an online degree — the LL.M., or Master of Laws degree. The focus of this advanced law degree is on international tax and financial services, intertwine the latest educational technology with top legal talent.
Thanks for the information all. I too have long desired a career in law, but gave up on that dream once I became a single parent. I do live in CA so it is nice to know I may still have an opportunity to make my dream a reality. Just curious to see if anyone in CA has obtained a JD online & is now practicing law & what their experience was with that? I will look into the schools mentioned above & I only hope the ABA does look into approving online education, especially since online JD's are still a JD, most of these programs seem to take 4 years, which would be the same time as a part-time program in a traditional school, and unless you have a trust fund, I don't know of anyone (especially in CA) who can afford to support themselves without full time employment. As I have researched law programs in traditional schools, and most of the programs have a requirement that the student cannot have a job to qualify for a full-time program (which is kind of ridiculous if you ask me), unless the traditional schools plan on including room, board, food, transportation, and possibly daycare in their tuition costs, they need to be realistic to the needs of potential students. I also think it would be better for the schools to do online JD's, as it would create more revenue for the school. It would be a win-win situation for all, lets just hope the ABA changes how they approve a law program soon.
It is possible to enter the law profession without going to an expensive, on campus only school. California is currently the only state with a program for students graduating from an online school, or even a correspondence school. The school has to be registered with the California bar examiners board so don't just sign up for any program, check first.
California and several other states also have what they call Judges Chambers programs where you can be mentored by a lawyer and then take the bar exam.
If you want more information about California's program for students who want to take the Bar exam after graduating from an online school then check out my page on this subject here: http://www.online-college-happy-place.com/aba-accredited-law-degrees-online.html From there you can follow the links to how to become a lawyer without going to law school. I'm sorry lugo but Alaska does not appear to have such a program, although Washington state does.
Kevin — the guy in Massachusetts who sued (pro se) the state board of bar examiners for the right to take the bar was named Mitchell Ross. You can read his case here http://www.socialaw.com/slip.htm?cid=18620&sid=120. Part of the reason the judges decided in his favor was because the ABA was in the process of reformulating their stance regarding online distance learning venues. One judge dissented saying they should wait to see what the ABA decides vis a vis online schools before MA allows online JD's. BTW Ross was already a licensed attorney in California.
Good luck everybody! If you want to join the ranks of licensed attorneys — and you're poor or you've got heavy responsibilities don't be discouraged. Other people have done it and so can you. Don't give up.
I am what one would consider a non-traditional student, female retiree who would like to attend an online JD program in New York state with the goal to one day work for the EEOC. Recently, I was told by an attorney in the field that they have cut positions significantly due to the current economic situation. Nonetheless, the need is there. Given the current economic situation across the country, why wouldn't there be available on-line law programs for those of us who are pursuing a(second)career and who have the life experiences and substantial work experience, analytical reasoning skills notwithstanding, to pursue a law degree without the hurdles to overcome to gain admission. When I applied to a traditional brick and mortar school, they evaluated me on my "undergraduate GPA"(from 30 years ago)taking that into consideration over 36 years work experience as an educator in various leadership positions most of which were advocating for others and various programs and not unlike what lawyers do on a daily basis. Why can't the APA leap into the 21st century to recognize the need for expanding a legal education online, and to make it accessible for those of us who have a passion to help others? As one other writer stated, it would be a win-win situation for Universities who would increase revenue significantly while allowing those of us to "be all that we can" in pursuit of a legal education.
Where you go to law school really doesn't matter. What matters is your passion for law and the time you dedicate to the study of the law. Online study is the future of education. That's a fact.The majority of people go to law school to make "big money" and work at "Big name law firms". I have a friend who loves studying law, he is not a lawyer and he wins cases. He puts more time into cases and studying law than any attorney I have come across. That is what matters most, having a passion and love for your chosen field. When you go to an ABA school and take the bar exam you become a servant. You can be disbarred and lose your license to practice law. When you study to be an attorney and don't take the bar you are free to be a free reign lawyer. No one can report you to anyone. no one can take away a license you don't have. You are now an ordinary citizen who has legal acumen and you go to court and fight. think about that. wanting to be a player in a "big name law firm" and your only goal is to make "big money" is never a reason to be an attorney. unless you want to be a thief.
Can I ask a question?
Does anyone know why the Socratic Method is valued by law schools? Is not because of a desire to bring out from the student a realization of true understanding? Isn't it to help the individual to formulate opinions, and to challenge preconceptions?
Should the study of law ever be marginalized? Doesn't it have the potential to influence dramatically, either for great good or for great evil? Shouldn't a lawyer know within himself that he is doing what is best for his clients?
Isn't the Socratic Method exactly what I have been demonstrating in this post?
My question for the ABA is: Did I demonstrate the Socratic Method verbally or in writing?
Is not the Socratic Method utilized online, in the form of essays, in answer to assigned questions, even more effectively than in the limited amount of time a group of students have in a traditional law school classroom?
Shouldn't the use of Socratic Method in online schools be embraced as the natural progression for the most effective legal education?
I await your response.
Currently I've found four online law schools based in California that allow you to sit for the California Bar Exam. They are not endorsed by the ABA but upon completion of the four year course and upon completeing the "Baby Bar" after your first year of study and passing the California State Bar upon graduation you can practise unrestricted in the state of California and a small handful of other states but what interested me is the fact that although many individual states still are being hard-headed and insisting upon 2-10 years experience before honoring the California Bar Exam the Federal Government has no such reservations so any focus of law at the federal level can be pursued without the predudise and ignorance that is being leveled out toward non-traditional students. To clarify this you can practice law in your home state as long as you handle federal cases such as Immigration, Social Security, ect, so you can work for the Federal Court system as a public defender, the possibilties are very open. I intend to practise in the realm of S.S. Disability. Don't let the "Good Ole Boy Club" and the crusty old ABA prevent you from attaining your dreams and ambition.
As I've suggested elsewhere in writing about so-called accredited online law schools, there actually are none at the moment.
I don't know what it means that the ABA approves of an online LLM degree program when the ABA is still not giving full accreditation (by which I mean the ability to sit the bar exam in all 50 states) to any online law school.
I have tutored some students who were attending online law schools, and they were not easy at all. Unlike normal law schools, it appears that online law schools require you to keep up with the reading by quizzing you every week. If you fail to get a good enough score every week, they can kick you out.
Sounds pretty rigorous to me. My sense is that the ABA should go ahead and fully accredit those with track records of keeping only students very likely to pass the bar. I don't see the ABA changing its attitude towards online law schools anytime in the near future, but a change in this policy is inevitable. (I think one potential trigger for a change in the ABA's standards would be lower enrollment at lower-tier brick and mortar schools combined with those same schools — such as Thomas Jefferson, above — seeking to replace lost income by pressuring the ABA to accredit more online JD programs.)
The Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego continues to offer a fully online Master of Laws (LL.M.)degree. This is available to those who already have a law degree. They also offer a Master of Science of Law (J.S.M.) to business professionals. The school is fully accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA)and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS).
I agree that the ABA will continue to receive pressure to change its mind about online law degrees, especially in light of innovative distance-learning technology that allows e-learners to interact with classmates and professors at the necessary levels to insure a high-quality online law school education.
This article should mention about the admission requirements like the one require previous overseas law degree.
Everything is very open with a really clear description of the issues. It was truly informative. Your site is useful. Thanks for sharing!

James Cameron is making three sequels to Avatar, the director and 20th Century Fox announced yesterday, with the first slated for release in 2016. A slew of screenwriters, including Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds), Shane Salerno (The Savages) and Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), has been hired to help Cameron write the new films, reports Variety.
The Best and Worst 3D Movies: The Best, #1, Avatar
"In writing the new films, I've come to realize that Avatar's world, story and characters have become even richer than I anticipated, and it became apparent that two films would not be enough to capture everything I wanted to put on screen," Cameron said in a statement.
Production is set to begin in 2014, and the three films will be shot simultaneously under Cameron's Lighthouse Entertainment production company. The first sequel is scheduled for release in December 2016, and the other two will follow in December 2017 and December 2018.
Avatar is the highest-grossing film of all time with global receipts of $2.78 billion.

Problems with the private management of the state's Medicaid program have had a negative impact on the county's public school health program, according to a report presented Wednesday night to the Madison County Board of Health.
Five months into this year's budget, the program is running $382,651 in the red. Chief Finance Officer David Reed projected that if the Medicaid reimbursement problems continue, more than $400,000 in local tax revenue would be needed to have the program break even by the end of the fiscal year.
"What's the problem there? A lot of it's the MCOs (managed care organizations) not paying the clinic and the school program," Reed said.
In November 2011, the state switched from handling Medicaid reimbursements to contracting the job out to three private companies – Coventry, Kentucky Spirit and WellCare. Since then, the health department and many other providers throughout the state have struggled to receive reimbursements for services provided to Medicaid patients.
So far, $246,811 in MCO payments for school and clinical health services are more than 90 days overdue to the Madison County Health Department. The bulk of this – $209,899 – is from Kentucky Spirit, Reed said.
Kentucky Spirit announced in October that it was leaving the state this summer. The MCO claimed Kentucky's Medicaid model was unsustainable, and the state had misled the company on the true costs of the program when Kentucky Spirit was bidding for the three-year contract. Both the governor and the company have threatened litigation.
The Madison County Board of Health provides health services to the schools as a contractor, according to Health Director Nancy Crewe. This school year, Madison County Public Schools paid a contract fee of $453,000 and Berea Independent paid $23,000. Baptist Health in Richmond donated $50,000 to the school health services program.
The projected Medicaid revenue for the school health program was $585,855 for the current fiscal year. However, with the actual rate of reimbursements so far, Reed projected that by the end of the fiscal year, the program would have a shortfall of $421,500 that would have to be made up with local tax revenue.
"The school health program, it's unsustainable if we have to put $400,000 into it every year," Reed said.
Crewe said this problem with the MCOs has had a "huge impact" on the board's budget, and "one we did not foresee." She said that Madison County Public Schools Superintendent Tommy Floyd is aware of the problem, and changes may come next year when the new contract is negotiated.
Board of health member Dr. John Johnstone pointed out that the school health program is not a service the health department is required to provide. However, the school board is mandated to provide health services to its students.
In other business:
– Community Health Nursing Supervisor Jean Powell reported that the same-day appointment scheduling, implemented at the Richmond and Berea health department clinics in October, has shown a significant increase in the number of people who show up to appointments. In the past, this rate has been around 60 to 70 percent, but Powell provided data showing that for many clinic programs the percentage is now in the 90s since the start of same-day appointment scheduling.
– MEPCO Nurse Administrator Billie Dyer reported on changes made within MEPCO, the health board's home health agency, to restructure after the lay offs of seven employees and also to continue to reduce costs. Some of those changes included centralizing clerical staff and phones into one office, creating a stricter formulary for wound care supplies and changing the way the supplies are delivered.
– Reed provided an update on work being done on Berea's Martha Pride Community Health Center. Several improvements have been made, including making the building more accessible for disabled people, renovating restrooms, plumbing remediation, sealing gaps from concrete settlement, repairing and painting walls and HVAC maintenance. Shrubs and mulch beds have been removed from around the outside of the building to prevent water retention at the foundation.
The architect for the project had estimated the work would cost $150,000, however with suggestions and modifications from the contractor and other health department employees, Reed said the project will cost just $40,000 when it is completed, a number that was greeted with applause from the health board.
Reed credited Leroy Lamb with providing many of the suggestions and modifications to the project that helped reduce costs. Earlier in the meeting, the board approved Lamb's nomination for Employee of the Year.
– Five members of the health board were re-appointed. They were engineer Michael Oliver, optometrist Anthony Harris, registered nurse Dale Barlow, veterinarian Jack Taylor and consumer representative Philip Runyon.
– The board of health approved a meeting schedule for 2013. The meetings, which start at 7 p.m., will be Feb. 6, April 3, June 5, Aug. 7, Oct. 2 and Dec. 4. The April 3 and Oct. 2 meetings will be at the Martha Pride Community Health Center, and the remaining meetings will be at the Richmond health department location. The calendar and meeting agendas are available online at www.madisoncountyhealthdept.org.
– Several employees were recognized for their service. Employees for the third quarter were the MEPCO management team: Dora Shepherd, Lisa Wallis, Rhonda Hale, Tina Litteral, Emma Mullins and Missy Williams. Employee for the fourth quarter was Leroy Lamb. The Good Citizen recognition went to Beth VanWinkle and Charlene Wells. The Shining Stars were Mae Margaret Maupin-Story, Kim DeCoste, Lori Knutson, Paula Hollon and Christie Green. The team award went to the Access Team, which includes Carmen Barker, Shana Barnett, Jenni Griffith, Sandy Gray, Missy Lake, Terri McCarty, Rebecca Newton, Paula Portwood, Becky Shehan, Beth VanWinkle and Charlene Wells.
– The only new employee was Janet Heinz, a health educator for the HANDS program. Suzi Freeman and Johnna Caudill have resigned, and seven MEPCO employees were laid off as part of the health department's workforce reduction plan to balance its budget.

Police have arrested a Middletown man who they say is responsible for a rash of residential burglaries in Durham and surrounding towns over the past several months.
Dane Daniel Tilley, 30, of 567 Butternut Street, was taken into custody Monday on three counts of third degree burglary, three counts of third degree larceny and one count of third degree criminal mischief.
According to a press release from Middletown Police, Tilley was identified as a suspect in burglaries in the area that took place when residents were not home.
Tilley was developed as a suspect through eyewitness accounts and video surveillance, according to police, and more charges are pending against him.
An investigation into the burglaries was conducted by the Middletown Police Department's Investigative Services Division, as well as Connecticut State Police and other local departments.
Police have not yet released specific details of the investigation, including what homes Tilley is charged with burglarizing. According to online court records, Tilley has a lengthy criminal record dating back to 2004.
Tilley is being held on $150,000 bond. He's due in court on Feb. 14.

Dining Out at Legal Harborside
The seafood chain has debuted a flashy fine-dining concept on the waterfront—and despite a few early hiccups, things are going swimmingly.
By my third dinner at Legal Harborside, it was just starting to feel like a restaurant hitting its stride. I mean just starting: The steps were still baby ones. But that's no surprise; it's a big, expensive, ambitious venture unlike anything the Legal Sea Foods chain has attempted before.
Located on the site of the old Jimmy's Harborside, on what's now called Liberty Wharf, it's part of a huge development that includes Mexican restaurant Temazcal and Del Frisco's steakhouse, which opened around the same time. The whole area is mobbed these days, and Liberty Wharf, for years merely a glint in Mayor Menino's eye, is suddenly electric. [sidebar]At 23,000 square feet, the new flagship of the Legal brand is gigantic. On the ground floor, there's a packed bar and restaurant offering a typical Legal menu, plus pizza and a few new casual-dining dishes.
The third floor is a wine bar and cocktail lounge serving finger food in a hip, mostly open-air space with a big fireplace and striking views of the harbor and skyline. Floor Two, where I ate, is Legal's first foray into fine dining, with white tablecloths and prices to match. Incredibly, Legal president and CEO Roger Berkowitz has never before had a restaurant with these kinds of water vistas — and never anything like Floor Two. The 150-seat room is suitable for Boston power brokers: sweeping and sleek, with a spectacular wall of windows and a curved rosewood ceiling swooping to a wide, open kitchen. It has a spare, expensive, modern feel — like Terminal E with tables.
The city's suits have found it, and they seem to have gotten all of the reservations. (Reserving a table can be a feat; you call the main Legal Harborside number, wait a long time after asking to book on the second floor, and can wait even longer to find a night when they have a free table). Startlingly, two of the three times I was there, Berkowitz was working the floor, and greeted many customers by name. But aside from the luxury and the views, Floor Two's identity is as vague as its name. There's plenty of good old Legal in the DNA, most obviously in the service, with different waiters appearing at different points and some randomly calling you "hon." There's the familiar, comprehensive, well-priced wine list. And, of course, there's plenty of fish. As for its theme, I couldn't much tell. The staff is told to call it "chef-oriented food," using a wider variety of fish species and more meat than any of the other Legal locations.
The menu was created by chef de cuisine Thomas Borgia and longtime Boston chef Robert Fathman, who shares the title of Legal Harborside executive chef with Richard Vellante. Where Floor Two succeeds is where Fathman and Borgia, who worked together at the Federalist, the short-lived restaurant in XV Beacon, have had the most experience: hearty New American food. The best appetizer I tried was a huge bacon-wrapped scallop with parsnip purée and smoked maple vinaigrette ($13, pictured above). Nobody can resist scallops with bacon; here, they're stuck together with transglutaminase (often called "meat glue") and basted with butter and thyme. Black quinoa on the plate offered visual contrast, but the dish was sunk by its gummy texture. The same problem plagued black and white linguine with razor clams and pancetta ($16), the worst appetizer I tried. Borgia worked in a Siena restaurant, he told me, so he should know when pasta is rubbery, or leaves the kitchen cool and congealed in a too-rich sauce that tastes of little besides butter.

Length: 12' 0" - Width: 22.00" - Starting at: $1395.00See More Details about this Kayak
In short, I think the Delta 12s is one heck of a kayak. For us oldsters, its 38lb. weight makes it very easy to heft around and load on the rack. It a very comfortable kayak and I�ve not had to pad the seat at all. I have added hip pads and thigh brace blocks to make it easier to roll.
It paddles like you wouldn't believe for a 12-foot boat. Acceleration is good and it glides very well. In wind and chop, it needs no skeg or rudder because is tracks very well. I've grown to appreciate the day hatch in front of the cockpit. It holds all I need for a day's outing and means you don't have to clutter the deck with a bag.
I am quite impressed with the Delta's thermoforming. This boat scratches less than any other touring boat I know. The hull is quite rigid which contributes to its impressive performance for a 12-footer.
In short, I highly recommend anyone demo the Delta 12s. Especially for older folks, I think you�ll enjoy not only the light weight, but also the excellent performance.
Due to being slightly narrower than the 12.10 I have, my wife is actually faster on the water in the 12s. The high bow handles waves really well with minimal splashing. Initial and secondary stability are very good. Because it weighs only 38 lbs, my wife has no problem carrying the 12s to the water herself.
We've done only lake paddling so far, but we'll be trying them out in the river sometime in the future to see how they handle rocks and current.

Tanner Cover Shot
"This shot was taken in the Whistler Backcountry. Tanner, Kye, Sean, and Callum met up with Riley, CP and myself. I have tried to get the perfect shot on this jump for the last few years. I had to sled in on the worst road possible in late spring. No snow, creek crossings, and 35kms of nasty bumps. So nasty was the approach that I convinced CP to heli in the skiers. After the shoot and a hell ride out in the dark on the sleds, I still felt that it was well worth the effort."

Fresh from her midday nap, 8-month-old Mary Cate Lynch bounces happily on her mother Kerry's lap. She giggles and reaches for ruffles on her shirt, and peeks at the stranger on the couch next to her. To Mary Cate, life is as simple as the woman holding her, kissing her cheek and stroking her hair.
Her innocence is bliss for Beverly resident Lynch and husband Chris. Mary Cate, born with the rare craniofacial syndrome Apert Syndrome, has a long—likely painful—journey ahead of her. She is one of 25 children born each year in the U.S. with Apert, which is visible in malformations of the skull, face, hands and feet. From now until the age of 20, "MC" will face up to 60 corrective surgeries and numerous therapies, some of which have already begun.
In July, doctors inserted tubes in Mary Cate's ears to help with drainage. Next, they will start the process of separating her fused fingers and toes. At 15 months, surgeons will begin remolding her skull to allow room for her brain to grow. Procedures tentatively planned for between the ages of four and nine have the most potential of altering her physical appearance, Lynch said.
"Once I realized how hard of a life she's going to have, I knew I was going to have to step up and be her advocate," Lynch said.
Learn about a , scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 18.
'I knew something was majorly wrong.'
—Kerry Lynch, of the mood after Mary Cate was delivered.
When the couple learned they were pregnant, they decided not to learn the sex. Lynch, an Evergreen Park native and Chris, an native and graduate, chose one name for each sex and enjoyed a "healthy, normal and awesome" pregnancy. At delivery time all seemed well, except that Mary Cate was breach; the doctors decided to deliver by C-section. Chris watched as doctors lifted Mary Cate into the world. Lynch listened as the first cries escaped her mouth—but then worried as jubilant voices dropped to concerned whispers.
Twelve to 15 doctors flooded the room and crowded around Mary Cate. The anesthesiologist told her there was "something" wrong, but that she had never seen it before.
"I could see the look of fear on the anesthesiologist's face," Lynch said. "I lost it. I knew something was majorly wrong."
The first few days were a rash of panic, tears and Google searches, as the pair tried to grasp what this meant for their daughter. They learned that the syndrome was caused by a random mutation early in conception. It could result in cognitive impairment, cleft palate, blindness, deafness or heart defects. With little information and heavy hearts, the couple readied to release the news to friends and family. They pored over an email announcement for hours before clicking "send."
And then it began. By the next day, 200 emails had arrived: words of encouragement and support from family, friends and families of children with other syndromes. The couple's South Suburban roots grow deep, and supporters began planning a fundraiser to help offset the family's extensive medical expenses.
Lynch was initially reluctant for the attention, until she began connecting with other Apert families—some who needed guidance and others who offered it. She started a blog to document "My Mary Cate," and as personal emotional therapy.
"She got dealt a tough hand of cards, and we need to be as strong as we can be," Lynch said.
From day 1, I knew my next mission in life would be to raise and spread awareness of Apert Syndrome. ...
Why not show her off? Why not parade her around? Why not make her life normal? Why not educate myself, my family, friends, community and the world? ...
The community's response has been overwhelming, Lynch said. For most of the surgeries, they'll travel to Dr. Jeffrey Fearon and Craniofacial Center at Medical City, in Dallas, Tex. Travel, surgeries, treatments and therapies will be costly, so friends organized an August fundraiser. Others give whatever or however they can. Students from (Lynch's grammar school) chipped in, too, with the proceeds from a lemonade stand sweetly donated to Mary Cate.
"It helps me, to be able to show these kids, that there's going to be a lot of different-looking people, but she can still run around on the playground with them," Lynch said.
She photographs each step of Mary Cate's life, features, and changes, and plans to continue with each surgery. She plans to compile them into a book, and when Mary Cate begins kindergarten, hopes to read the class the story of her brave daughter and how far she's come.
"I know it's going to be very physically painful for her, and that makes me physically ill," she said.
Lynch aims to raise awareness and tolerance for her daughter, before she notices her own special appearance and differences. She hopes Mary Cate will embrace, rather than fear them.
"This is my passion, my job, my number one love, so I want to share the wealth!" Lynch wrote in a blog. "I wholeheartedly believe that people are inherently good, and that ignorance comes from lack of knowledge.
...Why not let everyone fall in love with My Mary Cate, and know who she is, so that as she lives her life, everyone will already know that she is Mary Cate, she has Apert Syndrome, she does look different, but she is still a beautiful, happy and sweet little girl."

Join me in my efforts to support the Lymphoma Reasarch Foundation
We live in what is can only be described as a miraculous age of cancer research. Each day new knowledge and treatments are being discovered, tested in clinical trials and made available to cancer survivors like myself. While the ultimate cure is still elusive, all of us who "never give up, never stop fighting" now enjoy an arsenal of solutions, many of which were unknown/untried just a few years ago.
This miraculous age is due in no small part to the financial support of so many good people like you. These precious gifts, no matter what amount, means so much to cancer survivors, the people they love and the people who love them.
Here is an opportunity to further show your support.
I will be riding in the Lymphoma Research Foundation Ride, Chicago NorthShore, on September 22, 2013. http://www.lymphoma.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1073129
It will be a great privilege to combine my love of cycling with raising funds for cancer research. I would appreciate it very much if you would consider joining me in this effort.

Many thanks!
Special Note:2013 is the 100th anniversary of the TdeF. Among the many things the race committee have put in the tour this year is a climb up not once, but twice in one daythe Alpe dHuez. And twice up this mountain makes this TdeF and my September 2013 ride very special.(If you have missed the coverage, check out this link: http://www.steephill.tv/2013/tour-de-france/photos/stage-18/ )
In 2004 I rode up the Alpe dHuez as part of a week at the TdeF (organized by http://www.thomsonbiketours.com/) with my friend and business colleague Mike H.
I was pretty slow but I made it. I believed it was just about the hardest thing I had ever done physically. Exhausted ( 21 switchbacks, average grade 8%, maximum grade 10.6%, elevation gain 3500 feet, finishing at an altitude of 6,000 feet) and elated is the only way to describe this personal best accomplishment.
Little did I know that in 3 ½ years I was destined to face another physical challenge, every bit as daunting and demanding a climb, being diagnosed with lymphoma.
My Alpe dHuez climb was, is and continues to be an example for me as I, in effect, climbed twice and more with my subsequent diagnoses, remissions and recurring cancer bouts.
Going up the Alpe d'Huez twice in one day just might be a metaphor for so many of us whom I have met and spoken with - my fellow cancer survivors -- who have to meet our challenges not once, but many times and still go on to proudly wear our King of the Mountains polka dot jersey.
It is pretty flat on this NorthShore ride (maybe 30 feet elevation gain), and not a lot of miles, but I will be inspired and riding for all of us who have had to climb the mountain twice on the same day!

E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
In this study, we survey the history of mathematics education in Turkey starting with its historical roots in the foundation of the republic. The changes in mathematics education in Turkey over the last century are investigated through an analysis of changes in curricular documents for K-12 schools. We consider the factors and reasons affecting curriculum developments, changes in philosophy and structure in terms of standards, objective and instructions. This article utilizes archival research techniques by examining original sources and illustrates the nature of the changes benefiting from a historical perspective. As a result of such analysis of the aforesaid sources, we have seen that the main reasons for changing mathematics curricula are: to build up a modern civilization in Turkey; the reports of John Dewey and the recommendations of Kate Wofford, William C. Varaceus and Watson Dickerman; the desire to become a member of the European Union; international factors and political situations.

Gammons quotes Rangers official: 'We got Upton'
MLB Network's Peter Gammons was present and recently tweeted about some of the "fun" surrounding the endless trade rumors about Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton:
If you don't believe the multi-team Upton trade talk, Wednesday night a Rangers official called an Astros officisl and said, "we got Upton."— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) December 7, 2012
Upton has been part of trade rumors for the last three offseasons, and his name has been one of the most talked about at this year's gathering.
Obviously nothing is official at this point and Gammons' tweet could indicate just how close the trade was to going down before the plug was pulled. It could also indicate that the deal is close to consummation.
Thursday, talk of complicated three and four-team deals surfaced with Upton being one of the centerpieces for potential swaps. Other teams that have been rumored in such deals are the Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Indians, and of course, the Texas Rangers.
Based on Gammons' tweet, Friday could be an interesting day on the Upton front.
