This question came from our site for user experience researchers and experts.
I instantly recommend you to look at the website Typography for Lawyers ( http://www.typographyforlawyers.com/ ) - in particular the font recommendations http://www.typographyforlawyers.com/?p=587 )
There is no 'best' font for a broad industry. It comes down to what is good typography vs. not. In additions to Roger's great advice, the only other thing to note is that sometimes there's a 'required' font--typically when working with the government.
Why Legal, of course. No other font would seem correct. :)

St. Edward's University presents: THE CONFERENCE OF THE BIRDS
Magic and imagination! "The Conference of the Birds" is an allegorical rendering of Sufism–the secretive and paradoxical form of Islamic mysticism. Like Canterbury Tales, it consists of a group of short stories bound together by a pilgrimage.
All the birds of the world gather together on a hazardous journey to find their ideal king. At first enthusiastic, the birds soon find many excuses to end this important mission. Their leader, the Hoopoe, offers a series of riddles as he leads them through the Seven Valleys and a self discovery.
The cast features equity guest artists Melba Martinez and Bhagerit Crow, with live music from The Gypsies, world-class musicians devoted to playing indigenous Middle Eastern music. Productions of "The Conference of the Birds" can be enjoyed February 21 - March 4 at St. Edward's University's Mary Moody Northern Theatre located at 3001 South Congress Avenue. Show times are Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10. Call 448-8484 for reservations.
Written by Peter Brook
Based on the 12th Century poem by Farid Uddi Attar
Guest directed by Marjorie Hayes
Choreography by Bhagerit Crow
Live music by The Gypsies

Massive hurricane: We're on it! Massive unemployment…um, we'll get back to you on that
Arianna Huffington is ticked off that politicians can leap into action when a hurricane is bearing down on the East Coast but stall, stall, stall when it comes to attacking the dull, grinding crisis that is U.S. unemployment. A taste:
With the toll that the job crisis is taking on the lives of millions of people in this country -- from college graduates who can't get jobs to middle class families being thrown out of their homes -- this is a Category 5 disaster. In extreme cases, financial desperation has even been a reported cause in suicides. "We have noticed many more people mentioning the economy," said Eve Meyer, executive director of the nonprofit San Francisco Suicide Prevention, which has seen an increase in suicides on the Golden Gate Bridge. "We constantly hear, 'I'm going to be homeless; I would rather be dead than be homeless.'"

If you are interested in the science of human movement, sports medicine and helping people live healthier lives through physical activity, Berry College's exercise science major may be just the program for you. It is one of Berry's newest majors and one for which the college is particularly well suited. With the world's largest college campus, Berry offers exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation and fitness activity. The Steven J. Cage Athletic and Recreation Center provides state-of-the-art indoor educational, fitness, wellness and exercise physiology facilities, including an exceptional exercise science laboratory.
The exercise science program
The exercise science major is a rigorous, science-based program that blends science with health and physical education. The purpose of the exercise science program is to prepare qualified professionals for careers in a number of different areas, such as:
In addition to general education courses, you'll take lab courses in biology, physics and chemistry, as well as courses like Biomechanics and Exercise Physiology. You also will get to choose from a variety of electives that mesh with your postgraduate interests.
During your senior year, you will participate in an internship experience that will involve hundreds of hours of firsthand experience. You'll have the opportunity to work side-by-side with experts in such fields as exercise, physical rehabilitation, performance and physical therapy. If you are interested in working with senior citizens, opportunities in adult senior-living centers also will be available.
The faculty
As an exercise science major, you will benefit from the expertise of faculty members in many different disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics and kinesiology.
The Kinesiology department would like to welcome a new faculty member, Dr. David Elmer! He is the new assistant professor with a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from Auburn University. With his experience and outstanding expertise, Dr. Elmer will be an exceptional addition to the Kinesiology team here at Berry College.
Outdoor facilities
Nowhere else in the world can you enjoy a 27,000-acre campus. That averages out to more than 13 acres per each undergraduate student! We have miles of hiking, biking and riding trails as well as forests, streams, ponds and our own Lavender Mountain. Opportunities for adventure abound, particularly through our BOLD (Berry Outdoor Leadership Development) program. BOLD courses include rock climbing, backpacking, mountain biking, kayaking, aquatics and challenge courses as well as adventure sports and experiential leadership development programming.
Science facilities
For exercise science majors, the crowning jewel of Berry facilities is The Steven J. Cage Athletic and Recreation Center. This 131,000-square-foot facility is home to a state-of-the-art exercise science laboratory which contains equipment for assessing anaerobic power, cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, body composition and bone health. You'll take your science classes in one of the most modern science-education facilities in the country. The Cage Center is a structure designed to facilitate hands-on learning and close interaction between student and professor. In fact, many of our students work directly with their teacher-mentors on original research projects.
The Cage Center also includes:
In addition to The Cage Center, you will also have access to laboratories and athletic training opportunities in the newly-renovated Richards Gymnasium. There is a new, state-of-the-art strength and conditioning space which is connected to an area that is now an athletic training room. The Richards Gymnasium is accessible to all Berry students, student-athletes, and our Exercise Science majors.
Beyond the classroom
Berry is committed to providing practical, firsthand learning experiences for our students, and exercise science majors are no exception. You'll find an array of student work opportunities across campus, including many in the sciences. The Cage Center offers a number of positions related to health, fitness and sports, providing exceptional opportunities for those interested in exercise science and fitness facility management.
In order to complete the Exercise Science major, students are required to participate in an internship of their choice in a career field related to the major. Students may select an internship on or off campus during the school year or the summer.
Whom may I contact for more information?

Colby admits students as candidates for the degree of bachelor of arts. Admission is highly selective, and evaluation is based on data concerning academic achievement and ability, as well as qualities of intellectual promise, interest and excitement in learning, character, and maturity.
The College actively seeks applicants who have special qualities or talents to contribute to the Colby community, as well as those who represent diverse geographical, racial, ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds. Such candidates are expected to be within acceptable ranges of academic ability and preparation.
The quality of a candidate's preparation is judged by the academic record, references from school administrators and teachers, and results of tests administered by the College Board or by the American College Testing Program.
To ensure a common educational base, a minimum of 16 academic preparatory units is strongly recommended, including four years of English, at least three of a single foreign language, three of college preparatory mathematics, two of history or social studies, two of laboratory science, and two years of other college preparatory electives.
Colby supports the efforts of secondary school officials and governing bodies to have their schools achieve regional accredited status in order to provide reliable assurance of the quality of the educational preparation of its applicants for admission.
The average rate of return from first year to sophomore year is 95 percent. The average six-year graduation rate is 91 percent.
Application Dates
Application Forms
Application forms, including the Colby supplement to the Common Application, are available online at www.colby.edu/admissions. An application fee is not required for any student who files the application electronically, for any student from Maine, or for any student who cannot afford the $65 application fee.
Colby requires official results of one of the following three options: the SAT, the ACT, or the SAT Subject Tests in three different subject areas of the applicant's choice. A foreign language Subject Test is recommended for students seeking to fulfill the College's language requirement in this manner. All required tests must be taken no later than December of the senior year. Applicants must request that test results be sent to Colby directly from the appropriate testing agency. Information about the tests is available at www.collegeboard.com/testing and at www.actstudent.org. The Colby College institutional codes are 3280 for the SAT and Subject Tests and 1638 for the ACT. Candidates planning to submit only ACT results are encouraged to take the ACT with the optional writing test component.
Interviews are strongly recommended and are available on campus from June 1 through mid-December and in many cities around the country throughout the fall. Campus interviews are offered on weekdays and on most Saturday mornings throughout the fall. Off-campus interview sites and dates are posted to the website each August.
Interviews with alumni volunteers are available throughout the country and across the globe. Please visit the website for more information.
First-Semester Abroad Admission
Each year more Colby juniors study off campus during the second semester than during the fall, and 35 to 40 spaces for incoming students usually become available at the beginning of the January term. A student who applies for admission in the fall semester may be offered admission for midyear. For these students, Colby offers two fall semester abroad options, which are described in the Opportunities to Study Abroad section. A student who participates in one of the College's fall semester abroad programs enters Colby with a group of friends acquired through the program and with enough credits to progress toward the degree at the same pace as his or her classmates.
Early Admission
A small number of students are admitted without completing the senior year of secondary school. This is done only with the recommendation of the secondary school. Considerations of academic and personal maturity are important to the candidate and to the College in earlier-than-usual admission. An on-campus interview is strongly recommended for any early admission candidate.
Advanced Standing
Colby participates in the Advanced Placement program of the College Board. Credits will be recorded on the Colby transcript for official AP scores of 4 or 5, and, where appropriate, advanced course placement will be granted. These credits may also be applied to certain academic areas of the College's distribution requirement (See Academic Requirements section), but AP credits may not be counted toward the 128 credits required for graduation.
Colby also recognizes the International Baccalaureate and offers advanced placement and credit based on individual Higher Level examination results, as well as performance on the full IB Diploma program. At the discretion of individual academic departments, advanced placement may be earned for scores of 6 and 7 on Higher Level examinations. A full year of credit toward the 128 credits required for graduation and up to two full semesters toward residency requirement may be earned for an IB Diploma point total of 36 or better, assuming all examination scores are 5 or better.
Finally, students who receive an A or B (superior level) on A-levels or comparable scores on the Leaving Certificate (Ireland), the Abitur (Germany), or the Baccalaureate (France) may be eligible for credit and advanced placement.
Campus VisitsA visit to Colby is strongly encouraged. Campus tours and group information sessions are available on most weekdays and on Saturday mornings in the fall.
Colby is located near exit 127 of I-95. Waterville also may be reached by bus, by air to nearby Augusta, or by airport limousine from the Portland International Jetport or the Bangor International Airport. A list of hotels is available online at www.colby.edu/visit.
International Students
Colby has traditionally encouraged the enrollment of students from countries beyond the United States and is actively engaged in programs of international cooperation and exchange.
In addition to the standardized test requirements for all applicants, students whose native language is not English and whose secondary school experience has been in a school where the language of instruction is not English must submit the official results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Applicants from mainland China may submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) in lieu of SAT scores. Additional information about these examinations may be found online at www.collegeboard.com/testing, www.actstudent.org, www.ets.org/toefl, and www.ielts.org. To ensure that the results are sent promptly to Colby, please use the Colby College institution code: 3280 for College Board exams or 1638 for the ACT. United States embassies and consular offices can provide pertinent information about these examinations. These offices often have booklets describing the tests and may have practice tests for applicants' use.
Financial aid is available to a limited number of international students. Applicants for financial aid must complete the International Student Financial Aid Application, which is available online. Documentation (with translation) of parents' incomes also is required.
An associate dean of students serves as the advisor to international students on immigration and other matters. An intensive English bridge program during the fall semester serves conditionally admitted students whose TOEFL, IELTS, or other verbal scores are below Colby's standards. Individual English language tutoring is available to any international student at any time during the academic year.
Transfer Students and Veterans
First consideration in admission is for first-year students, but some transfer students are accepted each year. Admission by transfer is open to those with strong academic and personal records from accredited colleges or universities. Transfer application forms are available online at www.colby.edu/admissions.
Credits from accredited institutions are generally accepted for courses that are comparable to those offered at Colby and in which grades of C or better are received. No more than 64 transferable semester credit hours may be applied toward a Colby degree.
Veterans may request advanced standing consideration for completion of service schools in advance of matriculation. Credit is not granted for military service or College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests.
Nonmatriculated Students
Anyone interested in enrolling as a nonmatriculated student must contact the Office of Admissions for information about the application process. Registration in individual courses then requires the approval of the course instructor and may be limited; matriculated students have priority in admission to courses with limited enrollments.
All persons seeking to take courses for credit must present evidence that they are qualified to pursue the intended courses and must pay the established fee. A limited number of gifted Waterville-area secondary school students may be recommended by their schools to take a course. Adults from the immediate Waterville area who are not degree candidates may qualify to take courses at one half the usual fee or may audit courses at no charge.
Persons wishing to enroll as auditing students must also contact the Office of Admissions and are referred to Auditing Courses in the Academic Procedures section.


text: This sounds like the newly revisioned RootsTech conference which will be held in SLC in February. They encourage new ideas pitched to developers. It sounds like you would find kindred souls there. -- Elissa in Pittsburgh Elissa Scalise Powell, CG www.PowellGenealogy.com CG and Certified Genealogist are Service Marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, used under license by board certificants after periodic evaluations by the Board. From: On Behalf Of John Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2010 2:25 PM Is there a professional genealogy body that convenes and develops specifications that genealogy programs need to offer? It should have vendor representatives, but the body itself must be independent of them. It should be composed of individuals with credentials, either genealogical and/or technological. They should develop a draft of required features and make it public for comment and review. Similar to the RFC reports developed for specifying computer technologies. Vendors then program to those specifications. Good ideas from vendors and their existing programs can be adopted. But the bar can be set high. I'm sure professional genealogists have a wish list for every program they use. How about making one universal wish list, and maybe existing vendors will program to it. Or a new start up will. And someone could do a consumer reports like evaluation of how well various vendors meet the critera. And where they fail. Is it worth advancing this idea? Such a team could recommend GEDCOM replacement specifications, or at least attempt to get an intellectual consensus. Recommend multiplatform ability via modern computer technologies (maybe too ambitious, but worthy of a discussion). And much more.

Local surfer, fisherman is a man of the ocean
I knew Robert Wald before I ever met him in the mid '80s. Well, not really knew him, but knew about him — mostly from that stunning photo of his, where his friend, the now deceased Stan Lewis, is seen rowing out against the ocean. If you've ever visited the old Fish House West or other restaurants in town prior to the 1990s you've seen the shot, and no doubt wondered about it.
That photo was taken in Cardiff in 1972, and, like much of Wald's work, documents a time past, when North County was changing from a smudge on a San Diego map, into a big, complex community and international destination. Stan Lewis, who is the subject of Wald's famous photo, and his son, Tommy Lewis, who was one of the last dory men on this coast, cared nothing for what our town would become — they were too busy milking all that the sea and the old world had to offer.
Wald grew up in view of the Pacific Ocean, near Santa Monica, where he found fishing and surfing and began photographing the things he loves. He learned more each day by sticking his head out his window than he ever would in a classroom, although he did take some time off work and play to attend San Diego State, where he mastered his celebrated photographic techniques.
"I would go to the beach and see Tommy coming in through the surf with his skiff loaded down with fish, and he would have the rest of the day to surf. That's when I said, I want to do that," said Wald, with a laugh, in a recent conversation. This led to his years as a lobster fisherman, building, setting and pulling traps with his friends like Stan and Tommy Lewis, Dick Dolman and Gene Merlot. It was a life filled with adventure, struggle and great rewards and it was a time that would define Wald.
Initially based primarily on the classic stories from times and characters past, Wald began Ocean Magazine seven years ago in Rick Milner's upholstery and wetsuit repair shop in Cardiff. With assistance and encouragement from family and friends like local surfer and fine artist Fred Ashley, Wald put out the first of his issues. The response was as instant as it was enthusiastic as locals remembered and those who had recently moved to North County realized what a rich history they had inherited. Since then, Ocean Magazine has published in good times and challenging ones, a one-man band written, laid out and photographed by one of our cities most talented citizens.
But Robert Wald is not yesterday's man. He researches the latest technology to gain insights into keeping his operation afloat. Still, the core and charm of Ocean Magazine is the stories told from those who have made their lives in or near the sea. Those stories are as endless as the changing tides that control the lives of anyone addicted to the saltwater wine that pulses in our veins and moves in and out of our world several times a day.
Robert Wald's photos of the ocean have been honored by everyone from The Los Angeles Times to Bob Dylan. Those interested may purchase prints of Wald's work by visiting theoceanmag.com.
A selection of Wald's photos titled: "Lost Heritage, The Dorymen of Cardiff," is currently on display at the Encinitas Library.

I am writing about the recent article, "Orpheum Theater looking for Operational leader" (Oct. 3, 2013). In that article, the reporter states that "(Orpheum Director Pip) Gordon's fiscal leadership has been under scrutiny by college leaders as the theater has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars annually over the past few years, directly affecting the Iowa Valley budget."
Where is the attribution? Who has made this accusation? A person's professional reputation is involved and the reporter provides nothing more than innuendo and insinuation. That is wrong and it is shoddy writing, at best. At worst, it is a journalistic "poison pill," for the reader to swallow, in order to create doubt about the credibility of Pip Gordon and her "fiscal leadership."
I am tempted to say that this is an effort by the Times-Republican to provide cover to the Iowa Valley Board, which would like to shift the blame for their lack of financial oversight to Pip Gordon, an "outsider" to Marshalltown, but that would be innuendo, wouldn't it?

"It Is Never Just One Thing"
Rarely does any one factor determine the final out come from a single event in life or in nature. It is just too complicated; so many factors come into play over the course of time that determines the final outcome. This is certainly true with trees and tree health. Trees in developed landscapes and in the forest are continually subjected to various stress factors that depending upon circumstances can lead to decline and eventual death of a tree.
Tree stress may result from a natural causal agent or may be from human activity. A myriad of factors may be involved which may include, but is not limited to some of the following:

It appears that too many of us must hate and judge. We seem to find ways to hate each other, and to look down and judge people who are not like us. Though civilization has been around a long time, we seem to be becoming more hateful, bigoted, and ignorant in these matters. The thought process goes something like: I am listening to those people with whom I agree, I know what's right, I have my guns, I have found my church, I have found my neighborhood, ad infinitum. May we pause for one moment, please?
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." -Mother Teresa
The nation is somewhat more focused on deliberating about guns in America, and what to do about the gun fixation in this country. It isn't only the National Rifle Association that is spending and fighting against any control of the gun craziness. Yes, it is craziness. Let's start with the Second Amendment distortion.
The Second Amendment was put in the Bill of Rights because this new nation had just come through a revolutionary war in which individual gun ownership was important. The war was fought thousands of miles away from England, so it was somewhat easy to defeat an organized army with rifle-toting farmers. So, it was natural to put something in the Constitution to acknowledge this phenomenon, lest this tiny new nation is again threatened by "tyranny." And almost every citizen in the new U.S. had a rifle to hunt for food. It was a necessity. And the rifles on 1776 were simple pieces of equipment firing one round. The Founding Fathers could not have imagined the mechanical guns of today. The old fashioned machine gun was still years away from being invented. A rifle in a 1776 household was as normal and as necessary as a fireplace. We were basically a rural, somewhat primitive society.
Tree Pruning Fact Sheet
An educated and experienced arborist knows that all tree pruning is not equal. The arborist assesses each tree individually and then decides what type of pruning the tree is in need of. Crown cleaning, crown thinning, crown raising, deadwood pruning and training pruning are nationally accepted standards of tree pruning developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The ANSI A300 pruning standards are extensive and involved. They are there to protect the consumer. If these pruning standards are not addressed in the tree pruning proposals or estimates you receive you are not getting a professional job. At Wachtel our educated and experienced Certified Arborists will help you benefit from these standards and assist you in determining what type of pruning your trees will need.
The different classifications of tree pruning are:

C'mon, I am sick and tired of the obfiscation, the excuses, the intentional diversion, and the lies of those who defend our gun craziness in America. We own more guns per capita than any western society. We kill more people with guns per capita than any industrial society. We have more mass shootings than any nation. There is no argument, the American nation and the American society are sick. And war and guns are a big part of it. We have a male population that exhibits a lack of real manhood and tries to camouflage it with the pseudo-toughness of war and guns. It is a sickness.
As the parents of the little children shot and killed in an elementary school in Connecticut gathered to express themselves about the future of the school building, the impact that event has had on their lives, the lingering depression, etc., one mother said she misses her little boy so much that she still reaches down to take his hand when she is walking. That burns its way into your heart and soul. Meanwhile some gun advocates are screaming about the Second Amendment. They want their right to a 21st century assault rifle, with a clip for as many bullets as the want. Well, Mr. Gun Advocate: boo-hoo. Your little shoot-em-up days should have been put to rest when you were about 8 years old. The gun does not make you a man!
Cullen Murphy has written a book titled GOD'S JURY. In it he describes the nature and specifics of the Three Inquisitions. One, led by a Pope in the Vatican, murdered just about all they considered unworthy of being acceptable Christians, and finally ran out of firewood and it ended. The Second Inquisition, was intended to get rid of people of other faiths who were secretly practicing "outside" the Vatican's set of rules. It similarly ended when all the Jews and other "unworthy" Christians were tortured, killed, or exiled from Spain. The Third, aimed at Protestants and open reading of the new printing press, ended when the Enlightenment began to herald in a new era of thinking. However the Enlightenment never seemed to "catch on" with Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, and the right-wingers in the United States.
Why draw a parallel between the Cheney years and the Inquisition? For many reasons, but an obvious one is that both used similar means of torture. At least one captive died at Guantanamo during the Bush-Cheney years from the Inquisition's "pulley method" of torture. And water boarding, which the Bush-Cheney cabal said was not torture, was officially labeled torture by the Vatican who practiced it openly and commonly during the Inquisition.

Stopping Tree Losses
This past spring many trees were not able to produce much foliage at all. Many produced nothing but seeds at first, and when these ripened all you could see was brown. Such trees seemed more dead than alive. Later on, some foliage started to be produced, but these leaves were undersized, off-color, and left the tree much thinner than normal. On other trees, some sections never did leaf out and the remaining parts look weak.
Trees that have treatment history for various problems, and have been stable for some time, have begun to struggle again. Dead and weak trees are everywhere.
The current President of the United States is outstanding. He and his family represent the best in America. In fact, the entire conduct and representation they present to the nation and the world is quite special.
It is interesting to watch, read, and listen to the right-wing extremists, the bigots, the gun nuts, the greedy, the war corporations, the radio screamers, etc. look for ways to try and demean him. Lies about his nationality, lies about him in general have been disgusting. We are fortunate to have a man of President Obama's taste, intellect, and principles in the White House. Think back just over 4 years ago to see the stark difference. President Bush began as President with a budget surplus from the Clinton years. Bush destroyed the national budget by pandering to the war corporations and greed-mongers who were "buddies." Bush started two wars, at least one of which was unnecessary, and the other was atrociously conducted. Bush spent like a drunken sailor. He nearly ruined the American economy and would have if he were not limited to just two terms. Guess who benefited from these excessive adventures? Guess who got the brunt of the benefits from his tax revisions? Guess who Bush passed all this to?

By: Anthony Arnoldi, Board-Certified Master Arborist WI-0102B
In real estate considerations, location is the most important aspect of a property. The value and worth of a great location cannot be overstated. We strive to live in homes that maximize the location factor so that it is very pleasant to live in while we are there, and profitable when it comes time to sell.
Gov. Walker's lack of education
One doesn't have to sit in a college classroom or receive a degree to be talented and insightful. But it helps. And the more we get a view of Governor Scott Walker's thought process, the more we have to wonder why he did not finish his education. I know the nice, little story he tells. But I mean the REAL reason.
Apparently because Walker has some sort of inferiority complex about his incomplete education, he likes to sit in the lecture and judgment chair concerning education and make sweeping decisions. He is hurting our kids, to say nothing of the education system in the state, generally. Wisconsin has a rich history in the field of education. Our University is first-class, and has been the genesis of many unique ideas and programs. But Walker will limit its budget money to make his point ...which is? Take a guess.

Birthplace of Farm Credit
This 280 acres was collateral for the nation's first Federal Land Bank loan made on April 10, 1917 to farmer-stockman A. L. Stockwell. In those days, farmers and ranchers found credit hard to come by. If available, it was often very expensive . . . as much as 10 percent per month.
Recognizing the importance of agriculture to our nation's economy, Congress passed the Federal Farm Loan Act which was signed into law by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. The Federal Land Bank, which makes long-term real estate loans to farmers and ranchers, was the first of the three lending institutions which comprise today's cooperative Farm Credit System.
Wichita was granted the first of 12 Federal Land Bank charters nationwide and charged with developing lending programs in Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and New Mexico. In turn, it issued the first local association charter to the Pawnee County National Farm Loan Association of Larned.
Originally started with seed money appropriated by Congress, the Farm Credit System has long since repaid all government funds. Today, it is entirely owned by the farmers and ranchers it serves.
