Amendment to the
Montana Student Practice Rule
August 13, 1991
The following order was issued by the Montana Supreme Court on August, 13, 1991:
By order dated April 30, 1975, this Court adopted the Montana Student Practice Rule (Rule). The Rule allows certain law students to provide assistance to practicing lawyers, within limited parameters. One of the provisions of the Rule has been that the law student must have completed legal studies amounting to at least two-thirds of the total credit hours required for graduation before being eligible to practice under the Rule.
Over the past several years, it has come to the Court's attention that a number of law students have essentially completed two-thirds of their law school studies but are a few credits short of the Rule's requirement. It has been the practice of the Court, upon petition by these students, to allow them to practice under the Rule provided that they are certified by the dean of the law school as being of good character and competent legal ability and as being adequately trained to perform as a legal intern. it is our intention to incorporate this practice the Rule
IT IS NOW ORDERED that Section III of the Montana Student Practice Rule is amended to read as follows:
III. Requirements and Limitations
In order to make an appearance pursuant to this rule, the law student must:
A. Be duly enrolled in a law school approved by the American Bar Association.
B. Have completed legal studies amounting to at least two-thirds (2/3) of the total credit hours required for graduation, or be within five credit hours (assuming ninety credits are required for graduation) of meeting this requirement.
C. Be certified by the dean of the law school as being of good character and competent legal ability and as being adequately trained to perform as a legal intern.
D. Be introduced to the court in which he is appearing by an attorney admitted to practice in that court.
E. Neither ask for nor receive any compensation or remuneration of any kind for his services from the person on behalf he renders services; but this shall not prevent a lawyer, legal aid bureau, law school, public defender agency, or the state from paying compensation to the eligible law student, nor shall it prevent any agency from making such charges for its services as it may otherwise properly require.
F. Certify in writing that he has read and is familiar with and will abide by the
Code of Professional Responsibility.
The Clerk is instructed to send a copy of this order to J. Martin Burke, dean of the Law School of the University of Montana.
DATED this 13th day of August, 1991.

Free Fries for the Mayor Free Mergez Sandwich for ousting the mayor!
Jeff's Gourmet serves kosher gourmet sausages. You can't go wrong with any of the items on the menu but I recommend the mergez and the chicken cilantro sausages. There's a nice community feel.
I don't keep kosher, so I've had my share of pork sausages and Jeff's doesn't even make me miss the pig. The fries are also a great pairing that no fast food chain can beat.
Jeff's = Good Grub! – I can finally say, without reserve or apprehension, Jeff's is the greatest gourmet kosher sausage factory this side of the Mississippi. All joking aside, this place dishes out some seriously tasty grub. With the name up on the wall, you can't help but dive into one of their gourmet sausage sandwiches. At first amazing bite, you're hit with one overwhelming question ... why haven't I been kosher my entire life? Okay, so that probably isn't going to happen, but you will start thinking about sneaking behind the counter and finding out what sort of secret spices Jeff's throwing into his juicy and flavorful dogs. It definitely doesn't matter what religion or beliefs you have coming in, you'll leave worshiping the sausage. Go with any of them off the menu, whether it be Beef Italian, Chorizo, or Cajun Chicken, and you won't be disappointed. Pair it up with some shoestring fries or get frisky and upgrade to the sweet-potato variety instead. Whatever you do, soak up your surroundings and just enjoy the experience. At Jeff's, you feel like you somehow crashed a family reunion. Everyone seems to know each other by name, to the point where you start wondering if you've stumbled upon the Jewish Cheers. Well join on in. Grab a deliciously crafted dog, pour on some of the sweet pepper sauce off the shelf, and toast to Jeff's sausage factory. L'Chaim! To Grub! See more at www.thegoodgrub.weebly. com
Meaty Goodness – Great kosher food, but still worth it even if you don't keep kosher. Everything on the menu is great, but the things not on the menu are even better. I highly recommend the "Wild Western Burger"! The place is pretty small so be prepared to sit outside or hover inside and hope to snag a table. If you are a large party, take it to go!
Get your meat on at this all-kosher spot where smoked chicken apple sausage and veal bratwurst are made on-site, along with countless other deli meats and salads. – In Short
Bring on the beef! Hot dogs, hamburgers and other fast food favorites make the counter menu at this beloved Kehilla-accredited restaurant. The biggest draw are the homemade sausage sandwiches that come in almost a dozen flavors, from mild smoked chicken apple to extra spicy chorizo. All deli meats and salads are also prepared in-house and there are plenty of options for kosher carry-out.
Food here will fill you up! – I left stuffed after enjoying the full-loaded pita pocket with falafel, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes and a Greek yogurt-like sauce. The huge basket of French fries that came on the side were deliciously thin and crispy. While I was very pleased with my meal, I wasn?t by the long time I had to wait for my food at this counter service, kosher meat restaurant. And the place wasn't even crowded!
Homemade sausage everywhere – Where to start? All the products are fresh -- from the made-to-order sandwiches (the hot dogs and pastrami are my favorites) to the gourmet sausages behind the counter (they're all good, but I prefer the traditional Italian and Bratwurst). There are dried meat sticks (like jerkey) in a crock on the counter. Big wrapped sausages hang from ceiling. And there are a good variety of condiments on a shelf. Mmmm.
Hot Diggity Dog And Kosher Too! – Try the Mergez Sausage if you have a tolerance for Spice! but the Cajun Chicken is superb! All of Jeff's gourmet dogs are absolutely phenomenal. I like the Israeli cafe look an the friendly service. Try them for a casual lunch you wont regret it!
Sausages and more sausages, Yum! – Jeff's is a wonderful joint for getting a fantastic kosher dog on a good bun. They also have really good salads and chicken for those who don't like sausage (who ever that could be). Sometimes the cost is suprising for lunch but it's worth it.
Great sausages! Huge variety grilled while you wait, topped with well chosen acccoutrement. It's cheap, HIGH QUALITY, and so much better than hot dogs!
Try it.

User Reviews
Date Reviewed: March 15, 2014
Strengths: TOUGH! This bike has taken a beating and keeps on going strong. As a bit of a novice, I have crashed this bike HARD several times without having to do anything but get back on and ride. The 29's put momentum on your side. Rock Shox are great. The hydro breaks have taken a hard work out to and have held up nicely. While others' chains & derailleurs were coming off or breaking, the MOTO held strong. Climbing is a breeze with the 10x3. Shifting is smooth and dependable.
Weaknesses: Slightly heavier than the more expensive bikes (carbon fiber), but you get plenty of value for what you pay.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: September 2, 2013
Strengths: Hard-tail with lockout front fork allows rider to put all the power to the wheels on hard pack and pavement.
Almost diamond frame geometry makes for stiffer ride that works great for prairie, hard-pack trails, and urban commuting.
Weaknesses: Frame geometry not as good for mountain and other technical rocky or muddy downhill rides.
Rider will need to replace/select different tires based on their trail riding conditions. (Same for any bike)
Bottom Line:
Because all components are from other manufacturers, I am not rating the brakes, crank assembly or tires. The tires that came on the bike were OK, but not what I needed for the type of trails I ride.

Duration Product Used: 2,000 miles
Price Paid: $800.00
Purchased At: Bikes Direct
Bike Setup: SRAM X7 10 speed cassette, FSA Gravity crankset, SRAM Elixer 1 hydraulic brakes, Rockshox front fork, Schwalbe Big Apple 29" tires
Date Reviewed: April 30, 2013
Strengths: The Matt black it the bomb. The Elixer3 brakes are great. the silver recon fork does exactly what is supposed to. I'm 5 10 with a 33 inseam and no problem withe standover issues. Shoot this thing is even good as a commuter bike. I know first commute I made was 27 miles. It was fun.
Weaknesses: Only one thus far. The stem, I needed one with more of a rise. Oh ya DON'T I REPEAT don't wear a face mask. Stupid cop pulled me over and said that I would shot because of it.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: April 30, 2013
Strengths: Nice ride, no complaints. Got the green color and it looks great, kind of a pearl essence teal color. Easy to assemble, but you still need to tru the wheel and make minor adjustments. Great price. oh and i really like the disk brakes.
Weaknesses: none yet
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: April 13, 2013
Strengths: I'm 5'1 tall. The 13" fits perfectly. This is the only reason I'm posting, to add this strength. Because that is a pretty huge plus when you're really short and you're looking for a 29er.
Weaknesses: Possibly the fact that it is not a steel frame. Although it's already a little heavier than I like, so a steel frame for me would have been worse for my purposes.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: April 3, 2013
Strengths: Price, durability, and componets. I love this bike, i use it for xc type riding, hit some big gaps on it and the suspension takes it very well. I even use it for basic trials. Handles great!
Weaknesses: Stem, i changed it for a shorter stem
Bottom Line:

Date Reviewed: August 21, 2012
Strengths: Components, geometry, "beefiness", oh, and price!
Weaknesses: Front stem/suspension
Bottom Line:
29 inch wheels let you pass straight through small rocks and roots on climbs instead of hunting for an angle. This lets you keep your momentum.
The bigger wheels also make it harder to go over the handlebars, went through a couple of drops in which the bike corrected itself instead of throwing me over.
The components are great, smooth shifting.
Tektro Auriga brakes have been performing great, regardless some of their reviews.
Te rig is BIG, you feel you're hopping on a motorcycle, but once on top it feels really manageable.
The only issue I have is with the front fork, it has a Rock Shox xc 28 which I find a bit "flimsy". Haven't been able to really adjust the stem to have no play at all, but my LBS tells me its the fork and not the stem. Works fine, but I guess that will be the first upgrade.
It's a bit tougher to get the bike going compared to a 26", but once you get going it has a very nice flow. Frame seems stiff and responsive.
All in all a great bike. Great components, great price, seems to be built really sturdy (time will tell), looks.

Bottom Line:
I took the bike out for a ride yesterday 05/25/11 , went 37 miles and it preformed beautifully without andy problems, brakes work great, rides nice and smooth and the big wheels roll over everything i definatley noticed a diiference in speed. i really like the lockout fork option it is nice when on the road though a little heavy.

Date Reviewed: May 14, 2011
Strengths: Lots of bang for the buck, decent components, frame seems to be well made with really nice welds
Weaknesses: Dart 3 forks are heavy and flexy, stem and handlebar are suspect (though never had a problem), headset was very cheap, seatpost is too short
Bottom Line:
Even though I've got a few things listed about under the weaknesses - I'm nitpicking a bit. I knew going into the deal what I was getting into, and those were all things I was planning on replacing anyway.
This was my first 29er, and I didn't want to break the bank to try it out. I'm glad I went the route I did as I now have a bike that rivals other brands for less than half the price. As far as riding, the 29er takes some getting used to, but overall I really enjoy it. It might not be as snappy as a 26, but it sure rolls over stuff nice and feels very stable.

Similar Products Used: first 29er
Bike Setup: swapped out the headset for a Cane Creek S-1, swapped out forks for Tora Race SL soloair, swapped out seatpost, swapped out BB5 brakes with Elixir R
I'm 5'11" with a 31" inseam and I think the 17" frame fits me about perfect.
Date Reviewed: September 9, 2010
Strengths: component mix, geometry, price
Weaknesses: slightly heavy, just over 30 lbs. I have had a tough time getting the BB5's dialed in, but find a good LBS and you should be fine. The alignment on the cheap Truvativ BB/crankset isn't great - it rubs on the front derailleur in some gears.
Bottom Line:
The stock stem is huge/goofy-looking with a pretty steep rise, so I paid $20 and switched it out for a Race Face stem of the same length (100mm) with a 6 degree rise, and I feel this improved the bike's looks (a lot) and handling (more aggressive, which is good for me).
The stock pedals are small and don't grip well, so $40 got me a pair of big platforms with studs, which I really like.
The first time I took this bike out on a root/rock-ridden trail, I was really surprised how well the wheels rolled over everything, and at the performance of the Dart 3, which has given me no troubles (it seems like Rock Shox has addressed some early issues with this fork.) I use the bike as transportation to/from school as well as on the trail, and being able to lock out the fork is a huge plus on the road. Also, mine came with WTB Nanoraptors, who's tread pattern is actually pretty good for riding on the road, not too knobby.
While this bike isn't a featherweight, it is by no means heavy, and responds well when I really want to move.
Overall I have been extremely happy with this bike. The 29-inch wheels are awesome - they roll over everything and are really fast. I don't work for bikesdirect or anything, I'm just someone who wanted to get back into riding and have been really happy with this choice. If you want a great value on a 29er hardtail, this is it.

Bike Setup: 21"
Date Reviewed: February 18, 2010
Strengths: PRICE$$$$$$$, nice components, more impressive paint job than expected. Motobecane is shifting from obscurity to a legit name, so there's some more confidence in riding one these days. I'm obsessed with working on bikes so it coming needing assembly was a plus for me.
Weaknesses: nice bike, but i feel like im going to have to baby it because of no frame warranty (covers only DEFECTS, not cracks or bends from actual riding... at least thats how i interpreted the language). But, the frames are made by the same people that make the Trek, Fuji, ect frames (Kinesis), so it'll probably hold up to anything i can do to it in a state as flat as florida.
Bottom Line:
I havent't gotten this bike respectably dirty yet, I've just managed to get it set up just how i want it, so I'll report back with the trail performance after at least a month of solid riding. But i can already tell from riding around the neighborhood, through lawns, over garbage, across drainage culverts, up curbs, over children, through road work notorious for destroying car suspension, shattering windows, making stationwagons catch sweet air, this bike is going to be good.

Bike Setup: 21" frame, matte black (could have gone with the 19", but thats my tendency for things a size too small), NanoRaptors, 60mm stem and handlebar salvaged off of my 90mph minivan struck Rincon (i dont really dig the loooong riser stems that always come on bikes my size, the shorter the better control, and the old handlebar somehow survived unscratched too so i put it on for a more home-like feel), swapped out glossy black headset spacers for matte black spacer, busted off the fleckers, matte black cateye 3-led light, 2 pocket black specialized saddle bag, Bell super-blinky tail light for not getting clipped by cars while riding my totally blacked-out bike with no reflectors at night.
otherwise, its stock.
id recommend changing the stem if its too long for your liking. and the cheapo pedals are the next part to hit the garage floor as soon as i order some decent platforms. Slime tubes (extra thick in 29ers if they exist...) on order soon too. the grass has thorns
Date Reviewed: November 8, 2009
Strengths: Price! Great frame. Ride quality. Spot on geometry. Disc only. Fits 80mm or 100mm travel forks without any real handling changes. Durable. Allows plenty of space for suspension fork to fit under down tube(knobs won't hit). Color, cable guides(3 disc for line on top tube), accepts traditional components. Made by one of the largest frame manufacturers(Kinesis) in the world.
Weaknesses: Weight
Bottom Line:
This was my first 29er I built 2-3 years ago from a frame I bought brand new out of the box on eBay. With shipping it was $125. You can't beat that. What I thought would be a semi cheaply made bike frame was just the opposite. A fine frame made in a famous bike frame factory. Excellent alignment, welds and finish. Very durable and nice looking matte black finish. The build was perfect with all threads and facings done within specs. By the time I was finished I had a sub 27 pound 29er hardtail that carves New England single track like it was born there. Amazing climbing ability that totally surprized me no matter if I had a 80mm or 100mm travel fork. Since this build I've ventured to build and ride and test multiple makes of hardtail and full suspension 29ers. They all put my butt back on my Motobecane Fantom 29er. It's like climbing into your own bed and that's a comfort zone I can't give up. This bike rocks!

Still no trace of missing Riccall man, Simon Hodgson-Greaves
8:10am Thursday 2nd January 2014 in News By Dan Bean, email@example.com
THE family of a missing North Yorkshire man have entered the New Year still waiting to find out what has happened to him.
Simon Hodgson-Greaves, 48, of Riccall, has not been seen since December 15 and North Yorkshire Police have issued a fresh appeal for information 11 days after his camper van was found in the RSPB car park at Bempton Cliffs, near Bridlington.
Searches of the area have found no trace of Mr Hodgson-Greaves, a keen camper. He is white, about 6ft tall, slim with sandy hair, a greying beard and moustache and blue eyes.
He wears glasses and is known to dress smartly, often wearing tweed jackets, shirts and scarves.
"Simon has been missing for a fairly long period of time now, and his family have spent the festive period not knowing where he is or if he is okay," said Detective Inspector Shaun Page.
Anybody who has seen Mr Hodgson-Greaves or knows where he is should phone the North Yorkshire Police control room on 101 or the Missing People charity's line on 116000.

As home values have risen nationally and new mortgage programs and guidelines have recently been introduced, many homeowners who are currently paying mortgage insurance as part of their monthly mortgage payment could eliminate the mortgage insurance and save hundreds of dollars each month even without the equity once required.
Those homeowners who either brought or refinanced their home in the past but needed to have mortgage insurance as part of their FHA or Conventional loan are now taking advantage of these new programs and increasing home values; many who were not able to just 6-12 months ago.
· Eliminate the need to pay monthly Mortgage insurance (even without 20% equity.)
· Potentially lower mortgage payments, even if the current interest rate is lower than the current market rates.
· Become mortgage free sooner by converting to a 15 or 20 year mortgage and possibly keep the same payment or potentially even a lower payment.
Whether you're paying mortgage insurance or not, if you would like to have your particular mortgage evaluated, call 1st Mariner Bank at -877-REFI-411 (877-733-4411).

"Baub-au!" Elle cries gleefully as Craig, the fire master, magically ignites the pile of sticks and driftwood the two had so diligently gathered from the beach that afternoon.
"Baub-au, baub-au!" she utters impatiently, wholly annoyed that we're not allowing her to climb over the rock divider and trample through the lush planter beds separating her from the enchanting water fountain and floating pastel-colored umbrellas we find in the lobby of Las Vegas's Palazzo hotel.
"Baub-au," she whispers in awe, pointing a twig-thin finger at a Yosemite waterfall that, with its massive rush of roiling water turning the air into arches of color, threatens to hold us captive in its presence until well after dinnertime.
In the last weeks, Elle has made a breakthrough in her ability to turn what she sees, feels and hears into something tangible she can share – turning the experiences and emotions of a 14-month-old into words. At least something that resembles words. "Baub-au" is, we've discovered, her way of telling us that something is worthy of comment. Campfires, waterfalls and elegantly decorated hotel lobby fountains are but a few of the things that have earned the baub-au designation in the last three weeks, during which we have rambled westward, to the ocean and back, in our first ever multi-week Prohaska family road/camping trip.
The baub-aus began on an extremely windy, cold and mostly unpleasant evening camped out near a beach just south of Ventura. It was our first night on the coast, and it was, at least for the adults, not what we had signed up for. We were hunkered down in our 1964 Shasta camp trailer, what we call our "vintage" Shasta because "old" doesn't sound as sexy. But the thing is old, older than either of us. It has a hole in the roof and a broken oven. We soon discovered we had to stick a screw in the notches at the bottom of the refrigerator door to keep the thing closed and working.
There is not much for an inquisitive 14-month-old to do while sequestered inside a 14-foot "vintage" Shasta camp trailer with two adults and a shedding dog while a cheek-reddening wind blows beach sand through the cracks in the windows. She was already bored with crayons, blocks, books, and those neon light-up wands. So I broke out the bubbles, a.k.a. "baub-aus," which were a big hit, for at least five minutes. The following day, once the wind had died down (it was still burly cold) and we had managed to venture over the sand dunes to the beach to show her the ocean, she thrust her finger out toward the waves and thoughtfully said, "Baub-au."
A 14-month-old on the brink of expressing herself with language encounters literally hundreds of baub-aus in any normal day; anything from the noise of an airplane flying overhead to a caterpillar inching across the driveway. Put her on the beach for the first time, or at a world-famous national park, or inside a behemoth Las Vegas hotel, and there are bound to be thousands of baub-aus. (She has, luckily, discovered that there are other names for all those baub-aus, like "Fff "(fire), "Wawa" (water,) and "Light," which she actually says correctly.)
Craig and I knew we'd be happy we took such a long trip, and traveled to such awe-inspiring places with our daughter, who has in the last six months blossomed from a baby girl into a little girl – a little girl who is beginning to share with the world what she thinks about it. What we hadn't realized was that it wouldn't always be us showing Elle all the baub-aus, but rather her showing them to us.
Standing atop Nevada Falls in Yosemite, a grey-haired man approached us.
"You know, I carried my son up here in a backpack like that. But that was thirty years ago," he chuckled. "What I didn't know then," he said, pausing to look away from Elle in her backpack to the swirling spray of water blowing rainbows out across the valley below us, "was that that was going to be the best day of my life."

I wonder if Mike Leake being a bad pitcher is Mes fault?
I wonder if Mike Leake being a bad pitcher is Mes fault?
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
Mike Leake doing his best Mike Leake impression already. 1-0 Bucs on a Martin single.
Then inning ends on a groundout to BP.
Founder and Ruling Elite of the Derrick Robinson Fan Club. Limited amount of memberships available.
I can't crush Leake for that inning. That zone was brutal. I'm glad he only gave up one. Heisey throws about as well as he hits though.
2014 predictions:
99-63 WS champs (Cards take 2nd WC, Mil 3rd, Pit 4th, Chi 5th)
Bruce/Votto neck and neck MVP race (neither takes it)
Bailey CYA winner
Hamilton ROY & GG
No one just posted "ballgame?" The sundeck would have never suffered such an omission.
I want to know how the Reds came to the conclusion Leake was a better option to start than Chapman. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Leake sucks or he should go to AAA yet, but lord.
"The guy I think could be really good in center is Adam Dunn. If someone asked me if Dunn could be a center fielder for the next 10 years, if he started working on it, no one could explain to me why he couldnt do it." - Brad Kullman
.043 hitter Russell Martin with a single to make it 1-0 Bucs after 1
XPaul should be playing against Burnett. Rather than Heisey.
Phillips ties it with a bomb to center.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Founder and Ruling Elite of the Derrick Robinson Fan Club. Limited amount of memberships available.
brandon ties it with a long shot to center
Mez's fault? Leake is the Reds worst starter regardless of who is catching.

On March 21 John's new CD was released. Together with his colleagues Monika Baer (violin & viola), Renate Steinmann (viola), Susanna Hefti (viola) and Martin Zeller (Cello) he recorded the CD "Pavans and Fantasies from the Age of Dowland" for the acclaimed classic label ECM. To read more about the CD and its program please turn to this page.
Since the academic year 2013/14 John has been teaching at Trossingen's University of Music, which is the first academy in Europe to offer a Bachelor's Degree in baroque orchestral playing. For him this is a logical development of his teaching activities, extending the range from modern violin and chamber music in Dresden to historical instruments and ensemble music in Trossingen. This versatility can also be seen in the scope of his 2014 summer courses and masterclasses: mostly modern violin at AVEM in France and at Allegro Vivo in Austria (where he will also conduct the student orchestra); and baroque violin at DMM in Dresden.
"Hats off to John Holloway... His experience shows in remarkably distinctive ways. It isn't merely his command and his deep affinity for both his violin and the music. It is his sound: burnished by time, crystal-clear in the centre but faintly soft-edged; free, never forced... an essay in good taste."
From the CD "Pavans and Fantasies from the Age of Dowland." John Dowland: Lachrimae Antiquae
From the CD "Sonate concertate in stil moderno". Dario Castello: Sonata Settima I
From H. Berlioz: Duet "O mon cher fils". Bremen Philharmonic, conductor: John Holloway (7.12.2011)
