chromosome abnormality that can affect many parts of the body. People with this condition have an extra piece (duplication) of chromosome 16 at a location designated p13.3. The signs and symptoms vary but may include developmental delay, speech delay, joint abnormalities, characteristic facial features, and occasional behavioral problems (i.e attention deficit and autism spectrum disorders). Most cases are not inherited, although affected people can pass the deletion on to their children. Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person.[1][2]Chromosome 16p13.3 duplication is a

Local recurrences of urethral cancer may be amenable to local modality therapy with radiation or surgery, with or without chemotherapy. (Refer to the Treatment Option Overview section of this summary for more information.) Metastatic disease may be treated with regimens in common use for other urothelial transitional cell or squamous cell carcinomas, or anal carcinomas, depending upon the histology.[1,2,3]
Treatment options:
- Locally recurrent urethral cancer after radiation therapy should be treated by surgical excision, if feasible.
- Locally recurrent urethral cancer after surgery alone should be considered for combination radiation and wider surgical resection.
- Metastatic urethral cancer should be considered for clinical trials using chemotherapy. Transitional cell cancer of the urethra may respond favorably to the same chemotherapy regimens employed for advanced transitional cell cancer of the bladder.[1,2,3,4]
The level of evidence for these treatment options is 3iiiDiv.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with recurrent urethral cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.

Lake Mburo National Park is Uganda's most accessible park from Kampala. A visitor to Kampala can even take a day tour to this beatiful national park most famous for conservation of elands and a wide range of Acacia Associated Birds.
Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda's fourth national park, was designated in 1982, and is situated between the towns of Masaka and Mbarara. It is the only one to contain an entire lake. The attractive acacia-dotted savanna (158 square miles) is home to huge herds of impala, as well as uncommon topi, eland, klipspringer and other antelope. Zebra and buffalo also graze these peaceful acres. At the lake there are hippo and crocodile and a wonderful diversity of birds. Because of the different habitats of the lakeshore and the broad savanna, the variety seems endless. Catch a glimpse of waterbirds diving for fish, the maribou stork, bee-eaters and the cheeky bronze-tailed starling, as well as the majestic crowned crane.
Lake Mburo National Park lies in a rain shadow between Lake Victoria and the Rwenzori Mountains, and receives an average of only 800mm of rain a year. Being near the equator, the rainfall pattern is bimodal, with the long rains occurring from February to June, and the short rains from September to December.
The rains are rather erratic and unpredictable, but most rain tends to fall in April and November. The average recorded temperature is 27.50C with daily variation ranging from 21.50C to 34,00C. July and August are the hottest months.
What to do when in the park
Guide walks –
The nature trail offers the visitor a chance to admire nature insitu. Visitors have the opportunity in walk in the circuit at his / her pace although in company of an armed guide. The trail is interpreted in form of a brochure in both English and Runyankole.
Salt Lick
A walk to the near by salt is a summary of it all. Strategically located wooden hide (Observation point) offers a chance to see at least 4 different species of animals at any one time while they lick the salty soil. Most interesting to note is that this is done without the animal's conscience. Visitors may also walk to area of their own choice.
Visitor accommodation
Accommodation is available at park headquarters, where chalets are available for single or double occupancy. Meals are available or visitors may carry their own food that the camp staff can help to prepare. Hurricane lamp lighting and warm water bucket bathing are provided. Campfire may be organised on request.
The Lake View Hotel in the nearby town of Mbarara is a modern locally-owned hotel. All rooms have private facilities. The hotel has a bar, restaurant, terrace, swimming pool and sports centre. The hotels own small lake is often surrounded by marabou storks.
Lake Mburo Luxury Tented Camp –
Conveniently located in the heart of Uganda's Ankole district between Kampala and the attractions in the southwest of the country. There are ten fully furnished Selous tents with verandas, twin bedrooms, dressing areas and ensuite bathrooms. There is a mess tent with bar and a full staff to take care of you.
Mantana Camp, run by Mel and Paul has stunning vistas over 3 lakes, It offers good service whilst retaining the authentic safari spirit. Each tent has twin beds and a bathroom. Each verandah is placed so as to take advantage of stunning African sunsets. The dining room is built on stilts so as to offer guests bird's eye views across the treetops to the lakes.

This paper addresses an application that involves the adaptive control of robot manipulator joint. It tries to explore the potential of using soft computing methodologies in control of plant (robot manipulator) with unknown internal behavior and environmental changes. The main methodology is based on using dual controller instead of one. One of them is for controlling identified plant (plant model) which used as model reference, and the other one for controlling the real plant (manipulator). The real controller presents a PID tuning method that uses a fuzzy logic as a main gain estimator and a signal analyzer, which extract some performance indexes (overshoot, rise time and steady state error) from controller error signal. By defining these PI parameters and the one which is available as a reference (from reference model), the controller tries to match its output to reach the desired PIs, come from model reference. The suggested approach is used to tune the PID gains for different response specifications. Experimental results demonstrate that better performance can be achieved with suggested adaptive controller. Robot manipulator which was used as case study in this work was simulated with professional simulation software package consist of Matlab/Simulink, Solid work and Visual Nastran.

I've been trying out the plugin the past couple of days. I like the UI and the accessibility of the crop thumbnail functionality (basically, its everywhere!).
I've only been trying it out on a bunch of my posts, but after I've modified the thumbnails on 3 or 4 posts, then it seems these get reset after I do 5 or 6 posts. I've redone those first 4 or so twice now, but have to give up.
My case may be unusual as I have 8 thumbnail sizes and 11 content types (according to your lists in the settings, and this does seem right). Perhaps because of this scaling issue there's something going wrong?
What information would you like to help you investigate this issue further?

Hotzones offer an experience bonus higher than that of regular zones. Some of the latest sets also have extra loot added; this loot is obtainable even after the zones are no longer "hot."
In addition to the experience bonus and special item drops listed below, you can also see Franklin Teek (map) in the Plane of Knowledge for a series of level-based "Simple Tasks" to be completed in current hot zones. These tasks result in some extra experience and coin.
|Contents [hide]
New Hotzones are available on all regular servers starting today, April 20, 2016. Moving forward, new hotzones will rotate randomly every 3 months on the first of January, April, July, and October.
Our understanding here is that per level bracket of a hotzone there will be 3 alternating choices that switch up every 3 months. So if 1st up 1 is option A then will either switch to option B or C. Let's say it was C for our example. Then option 3 comes along and it will go to either A or B (as C was the active one).
Hotzones will become available on progression servers later in the history for those special servers. Different level ranges of hotzones will unlock on progression servers depending on what expansion is unlocked:
Visit Franklin Teek in the Plane of Knowledge to see the current list of possible hotzones randoms, grab a task, and get adventuring!
Note: we are listing the possible Hot zones instead of adding a exact each change. Players have to log on and play the game to see which ones are active. But i am hoping a permanet list and just saying which ones are current will make the update faster if we have admins who can edit the list in the future.
Just FYI, after today's (April 23rd) patch it seems the hotzones were changed again. Not sure if this'll happen with every hotfix or patch. Here are the new hotzones by level:
Skal Nethus (map -- location -320, 1200, -111 in the Plane of Knowledge -- near Franklin Teek) offers a task called "Udumbara, the flower of legend" that involves every hotzone and results in the augmentation Udumbara.
Skal Nethus (map -- location -320, 1200, -111 in the Plane of Knowledge -- near Franklin Teek) offers a task called Skal's Walking Nightmare that involves killing a mob from each one of these hot zones, resulting in The Sum of Skal`s Nightmares.
Skal Nethus (map -- location -320, 1200, -111 in the Plane of Knowledge -- near Franklin Teek) offers a task called "The Dungeon Rot Infected" that involves returning an item from each one of these hot zones, resulting in Purified Dungeon Rot.
Skal Nethus (map -- location -320, 1200, -111 in the Plane of Knowledge -- near Franklin Teek) offers a task called "The Escaped Voidsouls" that involves returning an item from each one of these hot zones, resulting in Gem of Bound Voidsouls.
Franklin Teek has arrived in the Plane of Knowledge just East of the Guild Lobby and will be happy to point you to the current location of a Hot Zone appropriate for your level. Franklin also has a series of tasks that can be done in each of the current Hot Zones. You can only request a single task at a time. Once one task is completed, there is an 18 hr lockout from the time the task was requested until another task can be requested. Each level task objective changes each day, so if you request one today, the objective tomorrow will be different. As an example, A Simple Task - Level 20 was Kill 5 Goblins on Wed Aug 20, 2008, Kill 5 Sabertooths on Thu Aug 21, 2008, and Kill 5 Iksar on Fri Aug 22, 2008.
Thanks to Elidroth on the SoE forums for the information
Thanks to VWDiesel for the information in this thread here
Here's a complete list of all the hotzone drops for the last set of hotzones. These are actually mini-quests that start whenever you loot an item. They revolve around Aiden Silverwing, who is in PoK near the Guild Hall zone-in.
The general idea is that he gives you a Silverwing Lockbox, in which you combine the Random Drop from one zone with the Shard Combine, which drops from the next higher hotzone. So, for each hotzone, VWDiesel has listed the random drop, the augmentation, the shard combine (which drops in the next higher hotzone), and the melee and caster items that result once you combine the shard and the random drop.
The last hotzone, Halls of Honor, randomly drops the melee or caster item, with no shard to combine. When you've completed all these quests for each hotzone, there is a final item you can make if you combine each of the hotzone melee or caster items in the Silverwing Lockbox. Those are listed at the bottom under "Final Combine".
Thanks again to VWDiesel for the information.
The hotzones all have special augs from specific mobs (click through to see which can drop them):
All items (except augments) come from quests given by James the Watchmaker. These quests involve getting three gears and a sprocket from each zone that was hot during this time frame, and returning them to him. You do not need to have the quest before you get the turn-in items. Rewards vary by level.
These hotzones all have special augs from Unmasked Changelings:
Additionally, each zone has 4 new NPC nameds that drop more level appropriate gear than the rest of the zone. I do not have a complete list of nameds and items, however, there is a nearly complete list here, at EvilGamer in this post.
These hotzones have minor(by todays standards) loot upgrades added with new mobs, and new global rare drops, however, they do not have any Augments (except Skyfire) that drop in these zones.

OpenJUMP is a community driven fork of JUMP the "Java Unified Mapping Platform" GIS software. The original JUMP was developed by Vivid Solutions, released under GPL2 in 2003 and discontinued in 2006. During 2004 already some enthusiastic developers joined together to enhance further the features of JUMP. They launched an independent development branch called OpenJUMP. The name gives credit to the original JUMP development, and at the same time describes the objectives of this project to be fully open to anyone wanting to contribute. These days OpenJUMP is developed and maintained by (some few) volunteers around the globe.

Just installed & love the plugin!
I was wondering, if at all possible & in the future, if there could be a way to move the location of the 'user name' to be in the middle, beginning, or any part of a phrase?
Example: "Hello 'username' how are you today?" or "'username", Welcome back to work!"
Also... I loved the idea to be able to change the words/phrases based on user roles! Great idea!!!

MCAT Preparation Using The Stranger Enhances Verbal Reasoning Scores
Jonathan Golob(1)
(1) Institute for Advanced Pre-Medical Education
Preparation for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) verbal reasoning section is a frequent source of frustration for prospective medical students. Practice passages are of hideous quality, leading to despair. In these experiments we applied a passage from a recent edition of The Stranger to a study system for the MCAT. The test scores on standard practice passages significantly improved (from 44.2% to 88.4%; p < 0.05) for a study subject subjected to Stranger writing. These findings provide hope for pre-medical students everywhere and are likely to have a major impact on medical admission practices and standards.
Introduction and Background
The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is the primary standardized test used for medical school admissions. The verbal reasoning section of the MCAT is comprised of a series of gruesomely written passages on various subject followed by approximately a dozen inane questions about the passage. The abominable quality of the writing in conjunction with the subjective nature of the questioning makes this section a frequent source of distress for hopeful pre-medical students everywhere.
Methods and Materials
A pre-medical volunteer read and answered questions from two standard MCAT Verbal Reasoning section practice passages (Kaplan). After a short break with coffee and butter cookies (Uptown Expresso) the volunteer went over in detail "Nothing Gold Can Stay" from the March 26th 2008 edition of The Stranger (Index Publications) with an instructor.
Following several days of rest, the volunteer again read and answered questions from two standard MCAT Verbal Reasoning section practice passages (Kaplan), distinct from those used in the pre-training period.
Percentage correctly answered questions were calculated, and the pre- and post- test results compared using a Student's t-test with two tails and unequal variance (R Project).
Pre Stranger-based preparation, the volunteer correctly answered 5 out of 13 and 6 out of 12 questions on two standard MCAT verbal reasoning section passages, for an overall average of 44.2%.
During the Stranger-based training period, the student was lead through the Chow review, prompted with questions like:
"What parallel is the author establishing in the first two paragraphs?"
"Would the author agree or disagree with the following statement: 'Focus on restaurant menus is a good thing.'"
"To what 'talent' is the author referring in the fifth paragraph?"
In addition, the volunteer was directed to determine the main point of each paragraph and if the paragraph was primarily concerned with expressing an opinion, conveying fact or both.
After this training period, the volunteer was instructed to attempt two additional standard sample verbal reasoning passages. The scores improved to 11 out of 13 and 12 out of 13 correct answers, for an overall average of 88.4%. This improvement was statistically significant as per a p value of less than 0.05 via the Student's t-test with two tails and unequal variance.
|Passage 1
|Passage 2
|Mean Score
In this set of experiments, we were able to nearly double a volunteer's score on the verbal reasoning section of the MCAT examination using the writing contained within the pages of the Stranger. With this vastly improved studying method, we can expect verbal reasoning section scores on the MCAT to increase dramatically. Additionally, we can expect an entire generation of medical students to have a far finer appreciation for the Hooters dining experience.
While the Stranger is currently available for free, we expect that these findings will rapidly push up the subscription price of the publication into the stratosphere, resulting in Stranger contributors becoming even more vastly wealthy than they are now.
Our ongoing studies seek to apply the escort ads to preparation for the biological sciences section of the MCAT.

Housing Finance Jumps Most in 3 Weeks on Bonds: Nairobi Mover
Housing Finance Ltd., Kenya's only publicly traded mortgage lender, jumped the most in more than three weeks after saying it would begin selling 3 billion shillings ($35.3 million) of bonds on Oct. 1 to build new homes.
The stock advanced 1.9 percent to 13.65 shillings by the close in the capital, Nairobi, the biggest gain since Aug. 31.
The bond sale will close Oct. 12, Housing Finance said in an e-mailed statement today. The company raised 7 billion shillings from a 2010 bond issue, and this is the second portion of the 10 billion shillings it has regulatory approval to sell.
About 200,000 housing units are required annually in Kenya's urban areas and only about 50,000 units are developed every year, Managing Director Frank Ireri said in the statement, citing Finance Ministry data.
"These bonds could be a huge step from the company because they are coming into a segment which no one is touching, the middle- and low-income housing segment," Rufus Mwanyasi, head trader at Nairobi-based Canaan Capital, said in a phone interview today.
In April, the European Investment Bank agreed to loan Housing Finance 2.2 billion shillings and London-based Ghana International Bank loaned it $10 million in June.

Are there any alternative GPS modules for the Pentax k30 than the O-GPS1?
A true alternative, one that supports the full features of the O-GPS1 module, is very unlikely as the biggest thing lost would probably be the astrotrace feature (one that I miss with my switch to Nikon). There are, however, some options out there:
In both cases, it requires some level of processing to update the image with the GPS information. The first one is a lot more manual, the second one less so, but it's a need. If you have the O-GPS1 unit, it just happens, something to keep in mind.

Rising Employment No Inflation Rebound as Wages Affirm Bernanke
Amy Valle is caught in a labor-market recovery that's forcing some Americans to settle for less. Before she lost her job as a full-time health-department case worker last November, she was making $23 an hour. Now she's paid $10 an hour as a part-time assistant coordinator in an after-school program.
"From here on out, it will be a struggle," said Valle, 32, whose husband lost his $50,000 government job and still is out of work after a year. "I don't feel like there's any place we can go to get what we were getting paid."
The improvement in the unemployment rate to 9 percent in January from a two-decade peak of 10.1 percent in October 2009 masks a new reality: Many of the jobs people are taking as the economy rebounds offer lower pay, fewer hours and worse benefits than some of the 8.75 million positions that disappeared because of the recession, according to Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics Ltd. in Toronto.
This may restrain income growth, limiting bigger gains in consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the U.S. economy. It also underscores Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's contention that wages, which increased 1.7 percent on an average hourly basis last year, have acted as a constraint on inflation, allowing the central bank to keep interest rates at record lows to sustain growth.
"In the last recovery, we were adding management jobs at this point, and this time it's disappointing," said Ashworth, who published a report on Jan. 27 about pre- and post-slump employment based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. "The very best jobs, we're still losing those."
Reinforce Pessimism
Projections from the bureau reinforce his pessimism. While the number of openings for food preparation and serving workers, including those at fast-food restaurants, will grow by 394,300 in the decade ending in 2018, the median wage is only $16,430 including tips, based on 2008 data. Meanwhile the number of posts for financial examiners, who earn $70,930, will expand by just 11,100.
"We have to be sad that the economy has suffered a diminution of its power to create high-paying and more interesting jobs," said Edmund Phelps, who won the Nobel Prize for economics in 2006 and directs the Center on Capitalism and Society at Columbia University in New York.
Lowe's Cos., the second-biggest U.S. home-improvement retailer, typifies the reshuffling of the U.S. workforce. The Mooresville, North Carolina-based chain said Jan. 25 it is eliminating 1,700 managers responsible for store operations, sales and administration as profit growth trails that of larger Home Depot Inc. in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Lowe's said it will add 8,000 to 10,000 weekend sales positions and is creating a new assistant store manager position.
Frugal Households
Such shifts are one reason why many households remain frugal, even as their spending is forecast to grow 3.2 percent this year, compared with 1.8 percent in 2010, according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News from Feb. 2 to Feb. 8. A more-robust labor market would provide an even bigger lift, according to Ashworth.
"In addition to the paucity of net jobs being created, the poor quality of those jobs is another reason to expect income growth to remain muted, which in turn will constrain consumption," he wrote in the Jan. 27 report.
Valle in Oswego, Illinois, is having trouble keeping up with the monthly bills now that she's earning much less than the $41,860 a year she got at her old job. She has eliminated the telephone land line, cut back on cable TV and reduced food spending.
"We can maintain like this for a while, but I'll get real nervous if my husband has his unemployment insurance taken away," she said.
'Tried and True'
Consumers also are becoming more picky, with "trusted, tried and true" brands poised to benefit, such as Cupertino, California-based Apple Inc., Nike Inc. in Beaverton, Oregon, and Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford Motor Co., said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at market researcher NPD Group Inc. in Port Washington, New York.
Sixty-four percent of respondents to NPD surveys are looking for such brands and only 36 percent want to experiment, a significant change from before the economic slump, when 57 percent were looking to experiment, Cohen said.
"During the recession, the consumer would buy the cheapest paper towel they could find," he said. "Now that they're emerging out of it, what you're seeing is a return back to trusted products, saying 'I want my Quicker Picker-Upper,'" referring to the marketing slogan for Bounty paper towels, a brand of Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co.
Eliminating Workers
Even though the economy began expanding in the third quarter of 2009, private employers continued to cut workers through February 2010. Companies last year eliminated about 550,000 jobs in management and 250,000 in construction, occupations with average hourly salaries of $38.34 and $21.03, according to Ashworth. In the same period, businesses added about 900,000 positions in production and 500,000 in services, which average $16.27 and $11.57.
The trend is troubling for the country's long-term prospects, Phelps said.
"Businesses aren't innovating as much, they're not as forward-looking as they used to be," so companies that "find a reason to pay pretty well just don't seem to require all those relatively high-paid workers they once did," he said.
The health-care industry is one example, the BLS said in a December report on the occupational outlook. As costs continue to rise, "tasks that were previously performed by doctors, nurses, dentists or other health-care professionals increasingly are being performed by physician assistants, medical assistants, dental hygienists and physical-therapist aides."
Durable Pickup
Bernanke and the Fed's Open Market Committee are waiting for proof of a durable pickup in employment as they continue their plan to buy $600 billion in Treasury securities through June and keep the benchmark federal funds rate near zero. With about 13.9 million people out of work in January, the labor-force participation rate has fallen to the lowest level since 1984, and 6.2 million people have been looking for jobs for more than half a year, according to the Labor Department.
It will be "several years before the unemployment rate has returned to a more normal level," because output growth likely will "be moderate for a while" and businesses are "reportedly still reluctant to add to their payrolls," Bernanke told the House Budget Committee on Feb. 9.
Michael Greenstone, a former staff member for the White House Council of Economic Advisers, says it's "premature to "make too much of where the particular job creation is occurring," because the "immediate issue is that there are too many people" out of work.
'Scourge of Society'
"I'm not in favor of ditch-digging, but the first thing is to get more people employed," said Greenstone, an economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and director of the Brookings Institution's Hamilton Project in Washington. "Unemployment is a scourge of society right now, and it has to be the front and center issue."
Job hunters are adapting to the new reality, with 60 percent prepared to settle for a full-time position they don't really want, said Dennis Jacobe, chief economist for Washington-based Gallup, according to a survey he conducted last month.
Ken Niswonger, 51, a machine builder by training, spent five months on the hunt for work after losing his job in October 2009. Unable to find anything in his field, he enrolled in a college computer-security program to learn new skills.
"I'm hoping I can find something entry-level," he said, adding that he'll have to begin his search for an information-technology job before he completes his program. "I'm well aware I might not get what I used to make," he said. "Who knows? Might get a job at $12-14 an hour; that's not even $30,000 a year."

Inns of Court chat
|Posted on
|Results day: make sure you know what to expect before you get your grades. Here's how to be ready.
(Original post by standmyground)
I am so glad that I am not the only one who had a truly traumatic experience.
I was ripped to shreds. They did ask me about my previous degree (1st in philosophy), but not much about it to be honest. They asked me quite a few questions about points of law which I just had to say I did not know anything about.
They did not really ask about my work experience, my job or death row experiences. I was really taken aback.
I don't think I'm getting a scholarship either. I learnt that I just don't know enough about law.
Everyone else came out of my interview saying they were dead nice, so I certainly wasn't expecting how they were with me.
The last thing one of the gentleman said to me was that I should be a solicitor.
LMAO I read that and i was like she's been on Death row??!!! but then i understood what you meant!!!!
Oh don't worry they said the same thing to me!!!! They said I should go out and do 5 years in another field and gain confidence and then come back to it!!!!!! who was on your panel??
I don't remember their names, but if I saw their names, I'd remember them!
I'm glad that they were like that to be honest, because in the real world, people are going to be challenging and adversarial.
Having said that... I NEED THE SCHOLARSHIP!!!
Pupillage interviews are a lot more taxing than scholarship interviews, although the latter can be used as a practice for the former. If you feel your interview technique let you down, or you felt unprepared - try to learn from it if you are going to continue with the BPTC.
I know it's an age old question, but what do we feel about the award of high value scholarships/exhibitions as an indicator of pupillage success? Is there any correlation whatsoever?
(Original post by scavo86)

In my experience, the numbers reflect the trend that those with scholarship are more likely to achieve pupillage. Those assessing for scholarships are experienced, very experienced members of the Bar and they know that a scholarship is an investment into the future of the Bar. There is no sense whatsoever in ploughing substantial amounts of money into somebody who isn't going to make it. That means that a substantial award reflects the promise/likelihood of pupillage that they have seen in you. It by no means allows you to rest on your laurels - never expect to sail through pupillage applications. However, I rather suspect that if you're the type of person who obtains a high value award, you are unlikely to rest on your laurels in any case
Thanks for the prompt response Kessler...without going into too much detail I was fortunate with my Exhibition award and also in receiving an offer for the BCL. I am not getting any younger though (second degree) and so I am wondering whether I should head off on the BCL when my resources might be better directed towards cracking on with pupillage applications and the BPTC. Talk about $64,000 questions
The BCL is tremendously helpful for pupillage apps, depending on the type of set you're going to. On others, it's best not to. If you want more details, I'm happy to discuss via PM
I must say mine was not as bad as some of these stories, but they did make me go in late and so I left earlier than I should have because I was the first of the day and it meant all the others would be backed up if they let it go longer (at least, I assume/hope!)
I was asked about my most recent moot and had to explain the facts and arguments. They interjected with questions every so often. They then asked about whether I had any more mini-pupillages etc and just ran through whether I still intended to go to London etc. All in all it wasn't horrific but I was very taken aback by the fact they did not ask me about mini-pupillages and cases i've seen (some extremely interesting ones) and other experience I have.
Oh well. We shall have to see what becomes of it!
I had an interview for Gray's Inn and am waiting to hear back - has anyone had their offer/rejection letter yet?
Lincoln's Inn scholarship e-mails are out Good luck!
Has anyone received a scholarship?
Sorry to hear that, radoxhead - are you looking into bank loans now then?
Attempting to revive this thread!
Where have current final/GDL students accepted their BPTC courses? If you haven't done so DON'T FORGET 3RD APRIL!
I am heading off to BPP London! It was my second choice (CoL being my first) but found I liked it better - among other reasons.
Is anyone else going there Any Lincoln-ers?
Good luck to everyone else having a Middle Temple scholarship interview next week. I'm sure 15 mins will go very quickly. Mine is on Thursday. Anyone else?

It's both correlated and causal. The scholarship committee are asking themselves 'is this person going to be come a barrister?' so they're likely to give the scholarships to those with the greatest chances of success. If you're able to put a scholarship on your application form then that tells the pupillage committee that a scholarship committee thinks you're good, which is obviously a boost to your application too.
I think every year something like 600 scholarships are awarded and there are around 450 pupillages out there- so not everyone with a scholarship will get a pupillage but it's likely that most who get pupillage will have got a scholarship.
Thanks yes - it went well for me. I am now knee deep in pupillage applications!
Quick question: How much are people tailoring the questionnaire section? I am changing the why this chambers and what areas of law but leaving the rest very similar.

How would I go about making a link to all posts by an author in the plugin?
I would like the "about the author" be the posts by author link, or have the link to the left of the social buttons if possible.

Coastal leaders: Business plan must heed maritime concerns
How can the state attract companies at the vanguard of their industries, companies that are resistant to migration? How can high-quality jobs already in Oregon be retained? Wyden said that he and other lawmakers have made federal-level progress on many initiatives in the plan, especially forest health, technology and transportation. He cited funding secured for Oregon's new nanotechnology center, ONAMI, as an example.

Soul Mates
While everyone else is hanging on to The-Dream's latest release and copying Erykah Badu's new 'do, you can't let go of your Kool and The Gang vinyl or your dated afro.
Seize the golden opportunity to relive the glory days of '70s soul and R&B at Golden Again. Special guests Kim E. Fresh and DJ Speek Greene (the former personal DJ to hip-hop musician Jaz-O) will spin African disco, Brazilian rhythms, tunes by gospel-singer-turned-disco-diva Alicia Myers, and The System. So, why should we bother with old-school funk? Because its the origins of anything soulful today, says Greene.

LOS ANGELES Pop star Lady Gaga purchased 55 items belonging to late singer Michael Jackson in a weekend auction that raised more than $5 million, a portion of which will be donated to charity, Julien's Auctions said.
The auction, held in Beverly Hills, showcased 465 lots of items spanning Jackson's career through the years, including costumes and props used on tour and in music videos.
Highlights from the sale included the late singer's "BAD" tour jacket raising $240,000, a white glove selling for $192,000 and one of the singer's Pepsi and Awards jacket garnering more than $68,000, the auction house said in a statement.
Following Sunday's auction, Gaga told her 31 million Twitter followers that "the 55 pieces I collected today will be archived & expertly cared for in the spirit & love of Michael Jackson, his bravery, & fans worldwide."
Jackson died aged 50 in June 2009 in Los Angeles from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and sedatives.
The collection of outfits, designed by Los Angeles-based collaborators Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush and gifted back to them by the late singer, were taken on a world tour earlier this year, traveling across South America, Europe and Asia.
In September, British hat designer Philip Treacy designed his first London fashion week show in a decade around Jackson's auction costumes, which were worn by the models down the runway and accessorized with hats inspired by the late singer's life.
Gaga not only attended Treacy's show but was on hand to introduce the milliner's collection.
The auction exceeded pre-sale estimates of $1 million to $2 million, and a portion of the final amount raised will benefit the Guide Dogs of America and Nathan Adelson Hospice in Las Vegas.

When we re-open for business in May 2016 we will have over 1650 different hosta varieties in the display gardens for your viewing pleasure.

Having inventory of 1650+ varieties is financially not feasible nor is it possible with only 5 shade-houses. However, we will have over 1100 varieties potted up and available in our shade-houses for purchasing. Bring your hosta "wish list" along with your camera and come for a visit....you'll be amazed by the selection and our display gardens will make your decision making that much easier.

Rich & Skinny Jeans
History of Denim Brands: Rich & Skinny
What are two things every girl wishes for? 1. To be Rich and 2. To be Skinny. Well thanks to Michael Glasser and Joie Rucker, this dream has come true.
Launched in select high-end boutiques and department stores in late November of 2006, Rich & Skinny is an exciting jean collection created to fill a void in the denim market. Rich & Skinny is a partnership between Michael Glasser, founder of denim heavyweights Seven for All Mankind and Citizen of Humanity and Designer Joie Rucker, former owner of the wildly successful brand Joie. Glasser's hands on experience, coupled with his comprehensive business and retail experience along with Rucker's design sensibility has helped secure the team's success.
After studying the market and trends, Glasser found the denim market to be stagnant and later came across a unique new European denim that blended cotton with Lycra Spandex and hence, the idea to create a new denim line was formed. Besides its incredibly soft fabrics, Rich & Skinny is also known for their wide variety of up to the minute denim styles. Their basics line offers styles like the slim sleek, super skinny, traditional boot- cut Rich, and a zipper leg jean the "vivid". Stepping away from the traditional 5-pocket jean, they've created such iconic jeans as "the Boyfriend" jean, and the denim legging "Legacy" even the "Skinny Boyfriend" which take you from day to night while retaining the playfulness of the Rich & Skinny Brand. What further sets Rich & Skinny apart from other denim brands is their great color palate, consistently offering customers the choice to wear reds, purples, pinks along with more subtle colors such as Black, White, Dark Silver and a fantastic array of denim washes. The attention to detail displayed in their handcrafted signature R buttons, sumptuous silk pocket and waistband lining and a rich purple velvet label; all add to the beauty and richness of this incredible line.
With the success of Rich & Skinny, owners Michael & Joie decided to challenge themselves and create a sumpously contained line of denim for men, called "Rich" by Rich & Skinny. The men's line is comprised of 3 basic styles, strong (slim), Bold (Boot), and chill (relaxed) and four washes. With the dynamic teaming of Michael Glasser and Joie Rucker it was inevitable that Rich & Skinny would become one of the hottest denim brands.. Rich and Skinny can be found in select retailers such as Nieman Marcus, Nordstrom and Intermix and on the bodies of Hollywood's hottest celebrities. "Rich" is for all the details, "Skinny" is how the jeans make you look and feel. Rich & Skinny is how it makes you feel.
For more than 17 years, Joie Rucker (Co-Owner) has been a leader in the fashion industry. Her contributions over the years have played an integral role in the denim market and have helped secure her place in the industry. After completing a degree in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco, Rucker began her career working for the popular brand SAM & LIBBY. Recognized for her talent and creativity, Rucker was recruited by Levi Strauss & Company to head up design for the Silver Tab jean division. There, she oversaw Girls, juniors and the Women's collections and was known for her innovative silhouettes and washes. Rucker's designs contributed to the company's sales, which tripled within a 2-year period.
Rucker left Levi Strauss after seven successful years to serve as Vice President of Design and Product Development for Guess Inc. There she was responsible for twelve product deliveries per year from concept to production. Rucker was also accountable for the re-launch of the Boys division as well as conceptualized and launched Brand G; a new category for Guess Inc. While there, Junior sales grew from $200 million to $600 million annually and Men's grew from $100 million to $250 million as a direct result of Rucker's comprehensive experience of the business coupled with her unique design ability.

How on earth do you reset the sa password? I know how to go into the dialogs and reset a password. That's now what I'm asking about. It runs a little deeper than just click, click, new password, done!
I have no idea what the SA password is. Nor does the previous user of this machine. The previous user says he never had SQL Express ever running on this machine.
This journey started when I tried to create a new database and was told I didn't have permissions to do so. Okay, I decided to just give myself the appropriate permissions. Nope, I can't give myself nor anyone else permissions.
I tried changing the password using SSMS. I get a message saying I don't have permissions to change it.
I tried using the following SQL script. Again, no permissions.
ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master]
USE [master]
ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH PASSWORD=N'NewPassword' MUST_CHANGE
The database is SQL Server 2008 Express (10.0.2531.0). SQL Server Management Studio is SSMS 2008. OS is Windows 7 Enterprise I'm a local admin, and a domain user. I created a local admin account for logging into SSMS Machine is on a domain. I have no problems connecting to our network database servers.
Any suggestions? This could be a simple fix. Thanks...

With 3,000 U.S. Personnel Dead, Impact Is Wide
More than 3,000 U.S. service personnel have now been killed in the war in Iraq. But military experts say the landmark figure, reached over the weekend, must be viewed along with the number of serious injuries — 22,000 — to be fully understood.
A soldier wounded in combat during World War II had a one-in-three chance of dying from his injuries. In Iraq, 90 percent of troops wounded survive.
We're now suffering a ratio of wounded to dead of 7 or 8 to 1," says military historian Eliot Cohen, "whereas previous historical norms were closer to 3 to 1 in the 20th century and 1 to 1 in the 19th century."
Many of those 22,000 wounded, brave and fit, athletic and strong, are learning to walk again, using prosthetic limbs. Or, some are learning out how to read again after suffering brain damage.
While all branches of the military have been hit by losses, the Army and Marines have taken the brunt of fatalities, with two-thirds coming from the Army and most of the rest from the Marines. Of the 3,000 dead, 69 are women.
In March, the Iraq war will become the third-longest conflict in U.S. history, after the Revolution and Vietnam.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (March 15, 2013)—As the TV series "Breaking Bad" finishes filming its fifth and final season in Albuquerque, N.M., the popularity of the show is providing a boost to the city's economy.
A fast-food burrito chain in Albuquerque draws tourists from around the world who want to see where a fictional drug trafficker runs his organization.
A pastry shop sells doughnuts topped with blue candy designed to resemble crystal meth and a beauty store has a similar product, crystal blue bathing salts.
But the boon is also creating a dilemma for local tourism officials as they walk the fine line of profiting from a show, which that centers around drug trafficking, addiction, and violence.
Albuquerque has experienced an unexpected jump in tourists visiting popular sites from the show and local businesses cashing in on its popularity.
