It's drought time again. Nothing new in this announcement. Each year, first we have crippling droughts between December and June, and then devastating floods in the next few months. It's a cycle of despair, which is more or less predictable. But this is not an inevitable cycle of nature we must live with. These droughts and floods are man-made, caused by deliberate neglect and designed failure of the way we manage water and land. What we must note with concern is that these "natural" disasters are growing in intensity and ferocity.
A harried parent called a few weeks ago. She wanted to know if the pollution levels in Delhi were bad and if so how bad. The answer was simple and obvious. But why do you need to know? Her daughter's prestigious school (which I will leave unnamed) had sent a circular to parents, saying they are planning to shift to air-conditioned buses because they were worried about air pollution. She wanted to know if this was the right decision.
Junk food is junk by its very definition. But how bad is it and what is it that companies do not tell people about this food? This is what the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) laboratory checked. The results were both predictable and alarming. What was equally predictable was the response of big food companies and their spokespersons—denials and dismissals. But they are missing the point.
Two monopolies. One private and the other public; one in gas and one in coal. Both equally disastrous for the environment. I speak here of Reliance Industries Ltd and Coal India Ltd.
Last fortnight, the Supreme Court issued a diktat to the government to implement the scheme to interlink rivers. The directions are straightforward.
How can any organization first lay bare a problem and then lambast and contradict the solution needed to solve the problem? An oxymoron!
The United States has always been the climate change renegade. For the past 25-odd years, since negotiations for a global agreement to combat the threat of this potential catastrophe began, the US has been the naysayer, pushing against a deal, weakening the draft and always hiding its inaction behind the legitimate growth of emissions in countries like China and India.
It was a trade exhibition abuzz with the restrained chatter of busy suited executives at company stalls making contacts and finalising deals. Nothing out of place except that this trade was about renewable energy technologies, which have unconventional reasons for growth. First, these technologies are seen as the most economical and feasible source of energy for millions of people unconnected to the electricity grid and having no electricity to light their houses or cook their food. This energy poverty is disabling and needs to be eradicated.
Solar mission is too important to let doubtful dealings hijack it.
In public perception the renewable energy sector is a do-good sector that promises environment-friendly and affordable energy. It is for this reason that this sector gets overwhelming support from all sections of society. Civil society organisations, including the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), have worked hard over the years to increase awareness about renewable energy and have pushed the government policy towards ambitious programmes.
Many years ago, in a desperately poor village in Rajasthan, people decided to plant trees on the land adjoining their pond so that its catchment would be protected. But this land belonged to the revenue department and people were fined for trespass. The issue hit national headlines. The stink made the local administration uncomfortable. They then came up with a brilliant game plan—they allotted the land to a group of equally poor people. In this way the poor ended up fighting the poor. The local government got away with the deliberate murder of a water body.

[JURIST] The Israeli Knesset [official website] voted 84-0 Monday in favor of a preliminary motion to dissolve itself shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon [BBC profile; official website] defected from the right-wing Likud [party website] political party he helped create. Once the bill is finally approved, a parliamentary election must take place within 90 days, well before the originally-scheduled November 2006 date. Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin, a Likud member, said he would push for the required three final votes to take place Tuesday. Sharon told Israeli President Moshe Katsav [official website; Wikipedia profile] earlier Monday that "it is impossible to carry on as Prime Minister" with the current parliament and called for a dissolution under Article 29 of the Israeli Basic Law [text]. Katsav announced that he will accept the results of the vote, and will work to ensure that Knesset factions opposed to Sharon will allow the Prime Minister to appoint interim ministers so that the essential government operations will be unaffected by disbandment of the assembly. Eight members of the Labor party faction of the Likud-led coalition party resigned from the government shortly before the vote. Relations between Sharon and the Likud party have been increasingly tense since Sharon's extremely controversial decision to withdraw settlers from Gaza and four West Bank settlements, which was approved by the Knesset despite Likud opposition. Reuters has more. from Israel, Haaretz has local coverage.
[JURIST] Lobbyist Michael Scanlon [Wikipedia profile] pleaded guilty in federal district court Monday to one count of bribery, a charge anticipated [JURIST report] after a DOJ criminal information disclosed Friday accused him of defrauding Indian clients and "providing things of value" to US Representative Bob Ney (R-NY) [official website]. Scanlon agreed to pay $19 million in restitution to the Indian tribes he allegedly defrauded while representing them in attempts to gain favorable federal gambling legislation. Scanlon is a former partner of lobbyist Jack Abramoff [Wikipedia profile], currently under federal indictment for bank fraud. Abramoff is also being investigated for bribing congressmen in exchange for gambling-friendly legislation, and for providing Representative Tom Delay (R-TX) [JURIST archive], for whom he once worked as an aide. with trips abroad and a free sports arena skybox. Scanlon is expected to testify against Abramoff in exchange for a reduction or elimination of the five year maximum prison sentence he now faces. AP has more.
[JURIST] Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson [official profile] said in an interview with Reuters reported Monday that the US has lost international influence due to its position on the Iraq war and the its record on the rights of Guantanamo detainees [JURIST news archive], among other issues. "The Iraq war has weakened the moral authority of the United States and its allies to tackle the likes of China and Russia over their poor records on civil liberties," she said. "There's the ambivalence about torture and now we find that the Iraqis are torturing those that they have detained, so some of the reason to justify this unjustifiable war on Iraq is also fading." During an Asian tour ending Monday, President Bush [JURIST archive] urged China [JURIST report] to expand the religious, political, and social freedoms enjoyed in the country. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Anonymous officials revealed Monday that a US-European coalition has backed down from earlier threats to refer Iran [JURIST news archive] to the UN Security Council [official website] to account for its allegedly unsafe nuclear program. The officials say the decision not to have the 35 member-countries of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) [official website] refer Iran at a meeting this Thursday gives Iran more time to consider an offer by Russia, its nuclear partner, to move its uranium enrichment process to Russia itself, which would eliminate the chance of Iran producing weapons-grade material. Though Iran insists it is not interested in weapons-grade uranium, it has resisted Russia's proposal, claiming a right to all stages in the nuclear production process. Iran's parliament voted [JURIST report] Sunday to block UN inspectors from its nuclear facilities if the nation were referred to the Council; the Foreign Minister previously condemned a potential referral [JURIST report] as a "politically and illegally motivated decision." AP has more.
[JURIST] Following up on a report earlier today in JURIST's Paper Chase, Kenyans voted Monday in a divisive referendum [Reuters backgrounder] that officials said proceeded relatively smoothly, despite minor incidents in Nairobi's largest slum and various allegations of bribery. Voters came out to support or oppose a proposed new constitution [PDF text] that critics claim fails to limit presidential powers and gives women the right to inherit family land, contrary to the customs of some tribes. Supporters praised the proposed land reforms that block foreigners from owning land and greatly reduce the term for which foreigners can lease land. Nine people were killed and dozens injured in multiple riots and clashes [JURIST report] in the lead-up to the charter vote. Kenyaweb has background. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs [official website] revealed Monday that it is investigating reports that a plane allegedly used by the CIA to transport terror detainees landed at a Canadian airport last week. Montreal newspaper La Presse [media website; in French] said the plane departed from Iceland heading towards Canada, landed in St. John's in Newfoundland on Friday, then returned to a military base in North Carolina. The US embassy in Ottawa would not comment. Speaking in the Canadian House of Commons Monday, Canadian Public Security Minister Anne McClellan nonetheless told MPs that "We have no absolutely no information nor any reason to believe that such an aircraft was involved in such a matter." In recent weeks Sweden [JURIST report], Spain [JURIST report] and Romania and the UK [JURIST report] have begun their own investigated incidents of alleged CIA plane landings that involved detainee transfers to alleged secret US prisons [JURIST report] in Europe or other facilities. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Russian authorities said Monday that two Chechens accused of murdering [JURIST report] the editor of the Russian version of Forbes, American Paul Klebnikov, in July 2004 will soon face trial, in a statement published on the website of the Prosecutor General [official website; in Russian]. "In the course of the criminal investigation it was established that the murder was carried out by members of an organized crime group," the statement read. Kazbek Dukuzov and Musa Vakhayev are accused of killing Klebnikov and the prosecutor generals' statement indicated that police are still searching for three other men who played a role in the murder. One of the men still being pursued, Khozh-Akhmed Nukhayev, has been accused of ordering the shooting [JURIST report] in retaliation for a book Klebnikov wrote in which he sharply criticized Nukhayev, a criminal boss linked to Chechen separatists. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] UK Prime Minister Tony Blair's proposed terrorism law [text; BBC backgrounder] faced stiff opposition when it reached the House of Lords [official website] Monday. Conservative leader Lord Strathclyde has vowed peers will look at the controversial legislation on "a line by line basis" and some lords indicated that they will move to include a 90-day detention period for terror suspects. The provision authorizing the detention of terror suspects without charge for up to 90 days was defeated [JURIST report] in the House of Commons [official website] earlier this month after Liberal Democrats and rebel members of the Labour party dismissed Blair's challenge that they had a "duty" to support the police, and instead backed a compromise detention period of 28 days. Under current law [Criminal Justice Act 2003, amending the Terrorism Act 2000], terror suspects can be held for 14 days before they must be either charged or released. Home Office Minister Baroness Scotland said Monday that the government will not back any new attempts to raise the time limit back to 90 days. BBC News has more.Previously in JURIST's Paper Chase...
[JURIST] In an interview with Reuters reported Monday, Chief Justice Rizgar Mohammed Amin of the Iraqi High Criminal Court [official website], also known as the Iraqi Special Tribunal, trying Saddam Hussein [JURIST news archive] and his co-defendants played down security concerns despite the assassination of two defense lawyers [JURIST report], the flight of another out of the country [JURIST report], and having more than 30 witnesses too scared to appear in court. Traveling with only two bodyguards because he "doesn't like to show off" - and that only at the behest of his friends - Amin said he has avoided the heavily armed convoys that protect senior officials from suicide bombings and shootings in a country where Hussein's supporters still routinely assassinate their opponents. Amin, the only one of five judges involved in the trial who has publicly revealed his identity, said that "a judge should never be afraid because he defends justice and the law" and that it was inappropriate to "show the faces of the defendants and not the panel of judges." The court's next hearing is scheduled for November 28 [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The war crimes trial [JURIST news archive] of Slobodan Milosevic [BBC profile] has been further delayed due to Milosevic's poor health, International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia [official website] Judge Patrick Robinson announced Monday. The trial was set to resume Monday after being delayed since last Wednesday [JURIST report] due to Milosevic's on-going health problems, but the ICTY's own head physician submitted a report to the court that stated Milosevic could not appear in court Monday. Milosevic's health has caused four delays in the defense proceedings totaling, according to the ICTY prosecutor's approximations, more than sixty days lost in court proceedings. Milosevic last week requested a six-week recess [JURIST report] in the trial; a three-judge panel has agreed to consider the request, but has not yet issued a ruling. From Belgrade, Radio B92 has more.
[JURIST] Romanian President Traian Basescu on Monday denied that the US Central Intelligence Agency [official website] has maintained any covert prisons [JURIST report] in the country and has offered to allow investigations of two military bases used by the US military. In an interview [Le Figaro report, in French] in Paris Monday, Basescu announced, "I am categorical - there are no such prisons in Romania." Basescu's denial follows Sunday's acknowledgement by a former Romanian defense minister [JURIST report] that US planes carrying detainees might have refueled in the country. Human Rights Watch, however, has alleged [HRW press release] further involvement on the part of Romania and Poland. The two airbases that Basescu referred to are Mihail Kogalniceanu in southeast Romania and Timisoara in western Romania. Meanwhile, the EU has launched an informal investigation [JURIST report] into the alleged covert prisons in Europe, and has threatened sanctions [JURIST report] against any member state found to house such facilities. Romania currently is a candidate for EU membership. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Ukraine's Justice Minister Serhiy Holovatiy Monday appealed a Friday court ruling that reinstated [JURIST report] Svyatoslav Piskun as Ukraine's prosecutor general. Piskun was fired by President Viktor Yushchenko [BBC profile], allegedly for investigating the finances of Yushchenko's wife [JURIST report], but was reinstated after a court found his dismissal illegal. Yushchenko claims the termination occurred because of "ineffective work" and Piskun's failure to solve several high profile cases, including the murder of an investigative journalist and Yushchenko's own dioxin poisoning. Ukraine [JURIST news archive] currently has two top prosecutors, as the appointment of Piskun's replacement, Oleksandr Medvedko, was approved by parliament last month. UNIAN [media website, in Ukrainian] is reporting that guards at the General Office of Public Prosecutor have refused to allow Piskun to enter the building [ForUm news report] as he attempted to report for work Monday. AP has more.
[JURIST] Lawyers for Abu Bakar Bashir [BBC profile], an Indonesian Muslim cleric implicated in the 2002 Bali bombings [BBC backgrounder], said Monday that they will ask that his case be reviewed. Bashir is accused of being the spiritual leader of the Southeast Asian extremist group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) [Wikipedia profile], which has ties to al Qaeda and has been blamed for the bombings in Bali earlier this year and in 2002. In March, Bashir was sentenced to 30 months in prison for approving the 2002 bombings, after terrorism charges in an earlier trial were thrown out [JURIST report]. Bashir has repeatedly denied any ties with JI or connection with the Bali bombings, calling them a "brutal act." His lawyers have declined to reveal what new evidence they intend to present, stating only that the demand for a case review will be filed this week. AFP has more.
[JURIST] UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Nowak [profile] arrived in China [JURIST news archive] Monday for a two week trip, which will include visits to Chinese detention centers [press release] in Beijing, Tibet and the Muslim region of Xinjiang. The trip is a result of nearly 10 years of negotiations between Nowak and Beijing, and China has agreed to allow private access to prisoners and has promised not to take action against those who report mistreatment. China's detention practices have been criticized in the Chinese media and among human rights groups recently, following several false coerced confessions being made public. In one highly publicized case, a man who was tortured into confessing to the murder of his wife [JURIST report] was released after 11 years in prison, after his wife was found alive and living with her new husband. Human rights groups claim those tortured are often Tibetan or Uighur ethnic minorities, who are accused of instigating separatism. Alison Reynolds of the Free Tibet Campaign [organization website], said "Continuing and consistent reports from exiled Tibetans with experience from both sides of China's judicial system suggest (torture) is a deeply ingrained problem." The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights recently called on China to cooperate with international standards for the use of capital punishment [JURIST report]. Reuters has more. The UNHCHR has more on the mandate of the Special Rapporteur.
[JURIST] The Bush administration is urging Bosnian leaders to revise its constitution [text] in time for Tuesday's commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Dayton Accord [PBS summary] ending the Bosnian war. As the EU starts negotiations to prepare Bosnia for EU membership [AP report] and the US seeks to renew its involvement in the country, leaders have pressed for creation of a unified parliamentary government with a single president in Bosnia. Under the Dayton Accord, Bosnia has three presidents, one representing each sectarian group. Bosnian leaders failed to reach an agreement [JURIST report] on a US-backed draft [JURIST report] during a meeting in Brussels last week and agreed to extend negotiations. During the talks in Washington, the US also pressed Muslim, Croat and Serbian leaders to commit to arresting Radovan Karadzic [BBC profile], a former Bosnian Serb leader wanted in connection with a July 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslims in the former Yugoslavia. Karadzic's son Aleksandar was arrested by NATO [JURIST report] in July, but he has denied knowledge of his father's whereabouts. Monday's New York Times has more.
[JURIST] Fifty-six defendants appeared in a Spanish court Monday to face charges that they were members of organizations which supported the Basque separatist group ETA [BBC backgrounder], or Euskadi Ta Askatasuna. Various organizations are believed to have provided financial, political, media, and international support to ETA, which has killed nearly 850 people since 1968 and is considered a terrorist group. The defendants, who include leaders of alleged ETA political wing KAS and its successor Ekin, face prison sentences ranging from 10 to 51 years, on charges ranging from tax, accounting and social security matters to cooperating with ETA. The trial, which is expected to last nearly 8 months, is the largest in Spain's history with 56 defendants and nearly 300 witnesses expected to testify. Reuters has more. From Spain, EiTB24 has local coverage.
[JURIST] Kyrgyzstan [JURIST news archive] Prosecutor General Kambaraly Kongantiyev told the country's Security Council Monday that the nation is on the verge of anarchy which could result in the loss of state control if authorities fail to deal with organized crime and chaotic protests. Since President Askar Akayev's ouster in March [JURIST report], the country has been plagued with prison riots, the murder of parliamentary deputies, and the seizure of the Supreme Court building [JURIST report] by an angry mob. Kongantiyev told the newly elected President [JURIST report], Kurmanbek Bakiyev [Wikipedia profile] that criminals are working with terrorists and religious extremists and that "law enforcers are conniving or not interfering, encouraging law breakers to yet more impudent and aggressive acts." Kongantiyev also accused organized crime groups of putting pressure on government officials and members of parliament. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Kenyans voted Monday in a referendum [Reuters backgrounder] on a new constitution [PDF text]. Voters came out amid fears that violence [JURIST report] might overshadow the voting process, viewed as a dress rehearsal for the 2007 election. The vote is supported by President Mwai Kibaki [official profile], but criticized by others such as 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, [BBC profile, Nobel Prize profile], who has dismissed the vote as a "betrayal to the wishes of the people of Kenya" as it centers on presidential powers. If the referendum is passed, it will mark the first major change to the Kenyan charter since the country became independent from Britain in 1963. Earlier this year, riots broke out [JURIST report] in Nairobi when the proposed constitution was first published as protesters demanded that the proposed presidential powers be limited [JURIST report]. Elections polls close at 5:00 PM local time (14:00 GMT) and the results are expected overnight. Reuters has more. From Nairobi, the Standard has local coverage.Previously in JURIST's Paper Chase...
[JURIST] Frans van Anraat [BBC profile], a Dutch businessman accused of supplying chemical agents to Iraq with the knowledge that Saddam Hussein would use them for poison gas attacks, went on trial Monday in the Netherlands on charges of complicity in war crimes and genocide [JURIST report]. Van Anraat is alleged to have supplied agents used by Saddam's military in Iraq's 1980-1988 war against Iran and its own Kurdish population, specifically during the 1988 attack on Halabja [JURIST report], which killed around 5,000. Van Anraat who was previously on the FBI's "most wanted" list [JURIST report], continued to supply chemicals even after the Halabja attack according to the prosecution; the defense maintains that van Anraat stopped shipments to Iraq after the Halabja attack and van Anraat has denied the charges. Van Anraat could face life imprisonment if convicted and is the first Dutchman to be tried on genocide-related charges. Relatives of victims of the attack are seeking compensation of up to 10,000 euros. A criminal investigation by US custom authorities in Baltimore found that van Anraat had been involved in four shipments to Iraq of thiodiglycol, an industrial chemical which can be used to make mustard gas, and United Nations weapons inspectors consider him to be an "important middle man" in supplying Iraq with chemical agents. Van Anraat was first detained in Milan in 1989 [Reuters backgrounder] before he fled to Iraq until 2003 when he returned to the Netherlands. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] CIA interrogators strictly obey torture laws when trying to obtain information from prisoners, according to CIA Director Porter Goss [CIA profile]. In an interview published Monday, Goss told USA Today that the CIA employs "lawful capabilities to collect vital information and we do it in a variety of unique and innovative ways, all of which are legal and none of which are torture." Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) [official website] has proposed legislation [JURIST document] to outlaw the torture and cruel or inhumane treatment of US prisoners whereas Vice President Dick Cheney [official website], recently dubbed a "Vice President for torture" [JURIST report] by a former CIA head, wants Congress to exempt the CIA from such legislation. Despite support for the anti-torture amendment from US senators [JURIST report], the White House has threatened to veto the provision [JURIST report]. Goss said that techniques that would be restricted under the proposed McCain legislation include those that have been used by the CIA to obtain valuable intelligence. The White House and senators are currently discussing the proposed torture ban [JURIST report], but are struggling to reach a consensus. Goss declined to discuss allegations of CIA-run secret prison camps [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Senior US Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] member Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) [official website], said Sunday that views expressed by US Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito [White House profile] on reapportionment in a 1985 document [PDF] could have repercussions for his nomination and lead to a filibuster. This is in contrast to Biden's remarks of a few weeks ago when he said a filibuster would be unlikely [JURIST report]. Biden now says he's troubled with Alito's apparent disagreement with the electoral principle of one-man one-vote from the 1962 decision in Baker v. Carr [text], which held that arbitrarily drawn legislative districts can be challenged in federal court. The 1985 document is an application for the position of deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Reagan Administration, and is one of a collection of 100 pages on Alito [Reagan library documents; Bush library documents] recently released. Alito states in his application, "[i]n college, I developed a deep interest in constitutional law, motivated in large part by disagreement with Warren Court decisions, particularly in the areas of criminal procedure, the Establishment Clause and reapportionment." Biden said that if Alito really is against reapportionment then many Senators including himself will be "willing to do whatever they can to keep him off the court." The same document last week led Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid [official website] to express concerns [JURIST report] with Alito's views on abortion [JURIST report], despite Alito's contention during meetings with senators that the Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade [text] decision deserves respect [JURIST report]. Alito's confirmation hearings are scheduled to begin on January 9 [JURIST report]. AP has more.

White Chili Recipe
"This recipe went from a great mistake to a tasty triumph," writes Cynthia Lynn Bloemker from Effingham, Illinois. "I created it by accident…and it got rave reviews. Now I whip up this quick-as-lightening dish when I'm pinched for time."
- 1 jar (48 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained

will make again added cumin,onion,and jalapeno. next time will add some cayenne pepper to give it a little kick good over all
Reviewed Jan. 23, 2013
I found this recipe rather bland. I used a 7 oz can of green chilies, 3 T of cilantro and a teaspoon of cumin. Much better. Very fast and easy.

Had a friends white chili and didn't think I could find another recipe better than hers - boy was I wrong! Both my husband and kids loved this chili. Can't wait to make it my scrapbooking friends!
Reviewed Jan. 22, 2010
I was excited about this recipe because it was so simple to make, but my boyfriend and I really did not like it. It might have been the canned chicken that made it kind of gross.
Reviewed Oct. 14, 2008
I added one extra can of green chilies and a little dried onion. We all loved it!!!

Tiffany & Co. achieved the highest engagement score on Facebook among the top 50 US retail brands in the first half of this year, according to a new report from Expion.
The research ranked the 50 retailers according to how engaging their Facebook posts were between January 1 and June 30, with engagement rated as the number of fan actions per post.
As mentioned, Tiffany & Co. proved to be the most successful brand by scoring a massive 28,741 interactions on each post. It achieved this by posting one high quality update per day.
On the flip side, although Walmart clocked up a higher total number of interactions it posted as many as six updates per day so achieved an average engagement score of 11,461.

More than two-thirds (70.1%) of Facebook brand pages are updated less than once a month, according to a new study from Recommend.ly.
This is despite the fact that best practice suggests that brands need to post frequent updates in order to maintain engagement with their fans.
In recent months Facebook has released a host of features such as the Timeline view, Offers, post scheduling and targeting, a redesigned ad network and Facebook Exchange to make its pages more attractive to businesses.
But the study of 5.7m Facebook Pages suggests that most businesses are still struggling to drive any real consumer engagement through the social network.

The Academic Achievement program at the University of St. Thomas School of Law operates in concert with the mission of the law school, and has a primary goal of supporting students in their quest to excel in law school, and to develop academically and intellectually competent Servant Leaders. There are several facets of that program:
Incoming students are invited to take part in the School of Law's four-day Voluntary Academic Success Program during First Week Orientation. In just four days, Scott Swanson, Director of Academic Achievement, will lead the class through the different types of work that will be required in a law school semester. The schedule includes:
Day One
Case briefs, class preparation, and discussion of case law regarding Homicide.
Day Two
Continue discussion of Homicide and Defenses.
Day Three
Create outline of Homicide and Defenses. Create group answer to practice Essay Test question.
Day Four
Test Preparation and Practice Test (which will be individually critiqued during the early part of the semester, before midterms, so that you can consolidate what your have learned in your first law school testing situation.)
All first year, first semester substantive classes have mid-term examinations. A number of students find that they would like assistance in preparing for first year, first semester midterm exams--in addition to the assistance they have received as a result of their first exam-taking exercise in the Voluntary Academic Success Program. We help those students learn additional organizational skills, review practice exams, and prepare effective outlines for their classes.
Additionally, many students find that they would like additional specific, timely, concrete feedback on the outcome of their mid-term exams—feedback beyond simply the grade. We review exams with those students, help them understand what they have done well, and areas in which they can make improvements.
The Director of Academic Achievement is available to meet with individual students (for specific tutorial assistance) and will larger groups of students who would like assistance in preparation for final exams. That involves a wide range of options, from practicing specific skills to assistance and critiques of particular outline strategies.
The Director of Academic Achievement is available (again, for both individuals and groups) to help students on an ongoing basis with more effective study habits, classroom preparation, and ongoing assistance in understanding the substantive materials in their classroom work.
There are a few students who, for a variety of reasons, have a difficult time performing up to their own expectations in law school. We pride ourselves in providing support for those people, and will work in any way we can to make sure that law school is a productive experience.
The law school currently provides a seminar-sized class that works with third year students who identify themselves as students who continue to have concerns about their academic performance, particularly as it relates to taking and passing a bar exam.
Additionally, for those who do not take this class, the school provides an informal summer program for graduates that emphasizes the skills necessary to pass the bar exam. That program is available to all students. Samples of past Bar Prep Class Sessions.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Scott Swanson, Director of Academic Achievement.

Industrial Experience in Handling Cleaning of Crude Refinery Preheat Trains
1,2Ishiyama E.M., 1Pugh S.J. and 2Wilson D.I.
1IHS ESDU, Houndsditch, London EC3A 7BX, UK
2Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, University of Cambridge, New Museums Site, Cambridge CB2 3RA, UK
Oil refineries are a major part of the national economy: in the UK alone, there are nine major refineries, processing over 1.8 million barrels of crude oil per day (Watson and Vandervell, 2006), consuming energy at the rate of gigawatts (~ 7.9 GW: Marsh-Patrick, 2006). Heat exchangers (HEXs) play a major role on refineries in saving energy. Distillation is the main consumer of energy on a refinery, and networks of HEXs are connected together in a preheat train to reduce the duty on furnaces. These units all suffer from fouling. Based on the world crude oil consumption of ~ 88 MM bbl per day (in 2009 2010), around 36 MM tonnes per year of extra CO2 is estimated to be emitted due to fouling (IHS ESDU, 2011). Handling fouling is a major challenge, and to-date, total elimination of fouling has not been achieved. Hence, cleaning of refinery exchangers is considered a practical solution. Since the original work done by Georgiadia and Papageorgiou (2000) and Smaïli et al. (2001), optimizing scheduling in a practical perspective has taken broader attention (e.g. Ishiyama et al., 2010). In this paper we discuss practical industrial concerns on scheduling cleaning in crude refinery exchangers and demonstrate a novel heat exchanger network simulation tool, smartPM, used to mitigate fouling in a techno-economic perspective.

Eagles make quick work of Cincinnati Christian
WILMORE, Ky. – Asbury continues to win and win big as they took down Cincinnati Christian University in three sets for their 15th consecutive win. The Eagles have won 10 of the 15 in three sets.
Asbury (17-1, 2-0 KIAC) defeated CCU (9-6, 2-2 KIAC) for the second time this year, this time however they weren't pushed to five sets. The 25-18, 25-20, 25-12 score was very reflective of how the match was played. Both teams struggled in the first two sets then Asbury pulled away in the third.
Asbury hit only .115 in the first set while CCU was at only .038 and a combined 10 errors in the set, there were only nine errors combined in the next two sets. Both teams got their attacks going in the second set with CCU hitting .300 and the Eagles a robust .472. The third set was close at 11-8 in favor of Asbury but then the Eagles scored 14 of the last 18 points. Brittney Rader had five of her team high 11 kills in the third set. Emily Andrews and Lauren Budde added three each in the final set. Budde finished with seven kills in the match, Lindsay Ibold also had seven.
Mackenzie Burke racked up 25 assists, one shy of her season high. Andrews added 15 assists and two service aces for the match. Hannah Wheeler led the defensive with 16 digs and Dena Busse blocked three attempts, two solo.
Asbury will be back in action on Wednesday October 6th as they host St. Catharine College. The Eagles beat the Patriots in five sets earlier this season.

What is cancer of the esophagus?
To understand esophagus cancer, it helps to know about the normal structure and function of the esophagus.
The esophagus
The esophagus is a hollow, muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. It lies behind the trachea (windpipe) and in front of the spine.
Food and liquids that are swallowed travel through the inside of the esophagus (called the lumen) to reach the stomach. In adults, the esophagus is usually between 10 and 13 inches long and is about ¾ of an inch across at its smallest point.
The wall of the esophagus has several layers. These layers are important for understanding where cancers in the esophagus tend to start and how they may grow.
Mucosa: This is the layer that lines the inside of the esophagus. The mucosa has 3 parts:
- The epithelium forms the innermost lining of the esophagus and is normally made up of flat, thin cells called squamous cells. This is where most cancers of the esophagus start.
- The lamina propria is a thin layer of connective tissue right under the epithelium.
- The muscularis mucosa is a very thin layer of muscle under the lamina propria.
Submucosa: This is a layer of connective tissue just below the mucosa that contains blood vessels and nerves. In some parts of the esophagus, this layer also contains glands that secrete mucus.
Muscularis propria: This is a thick band of muscle under the submucosa. This layer of muscle contracts in a coordinated, rhythmic way to push food along the esophagus from the throat to the stomach.
Adventitia: This is the outermost layer of the esophagus, which is formed by connective tissue.
The upper part of the esophagus has a special area of muscle at its beginning that relaxes to open the esophagus when it senses food or liquid coming toward it. This muscle is called the upper esophageal sphincter.
The lower part of the esophagus that connects to the stomach is called the gastroesophageal (GE) junction. A special area of muscle near the GE junction, called the lower esophageal sphincter, controls the movement of food from the esophagus into the stomach and it keeps the stomach's acid and digestive enzymes out of the esophagus.
Reflux and Barrett's esophagus
The stomach has strong acid and enzymes that digest food. The epithelium (inner lining) of the stomach is made of gland cells that release acid, enzymes, and mucus. These cells have special features that protect them from the stomach's acid and digestive enzymes.
In some people, acid escapes from the stomach back into the esophagus. The medical term for this is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or just reflux. In many cases, reflux can cause symptoms such as heartburn or a burning feeling spreading out from the middle of the chest. But sometimes, reflux can occur without any symptoms at all.
If reflux of stomach acid into the lower esophagus continues for a long time, it can damage the lining of the esophagus. This causes the squamous cells that usually line the esophagus to be replaced with gland cells. These gland cells usually look like the cells that line the stomach and the small intestine and are more resistant to stomach acid. The presence of gland cells in the esophagus is known as Barrett's (or Barrett) esophagus.
People with Barrett's esophagus are much more likely to develop cancer of the esophagus. These people require close medical follow-up in order to find cancer early. Still, although they have a higher risk, most people with Barrett's esophagus do not go on to develop cancer of the esophagus.
Esophageal cancer
Cancer of the esophagus (also referred to as esophageal cancer) starts in the inner layer (the mucosa) and grows outward (through the submucosa and the muscle layer). Since 2 types of cells can line the esophagus, there are 2 main types of esophageal cancer: squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.
The esophagus is normally lined with squamous cells. The cancer starting in these cells is called squamous cell carcinoma. This type of cancer can occur anywhere along the esophagus. At one time, squamous cell carcinoma was by far the more common type of esophageal cancer in the United States. This has changed over time, and now it makes up less than half of esophageal cancers in this country.
Cancers that start in gland cells are called adenocarcinomas. This type of cell is not normally part of the inner lining of the esophagus. Before an adenocarcinoma can develop, gland cells must replace an area of squamous cells, which is what happens in Barrett's esophagus. This occurs mainly in the lower esophagus, which is the site of most adenocarcinomas.
Cancers that start at the area where the esophagus joins the stomach (the GE junction), which includes about the first 2 inches of the stomach (called the cardia), tend to behave like esophagus cancers (and are treated like them, as well), so they are grouped with esophagus cancers.

Moisture Alarms for Bed-Wetting - Topic Overview
Moisture alarms for bed-wetting are worn on the body and make a sound when urine first touches the child's underclothing. The child is encouraged to try to "beat the buzzer." When the alarm sounds, the child:
- Gets out of bed and disconnects the buzzer.
- Goes to the bathroom to finish urinating (even if the child no longer feels any need to).
- Changes clothing and reconnects the alarm.
- Changes the linens or puts a towel on any wet spot.
- Resets the alarm and goes back to sleep.
At first, parents may need to help the child with all of the above steps. Children younger than 10 may not hear the alarm, but the treatment still works if parents hear it and wake the child. Also, the parent or child may keep a chart or calendar of dry, wet, and wet-spot nights to encourage the child.

Read the Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa article > >
Moisture alarms are the most successful treatment for bed-wetting. The treatment is most successful with older children who can hear the alarm and wake themselves. Moisture alarms may be used with other treatments, such as motivational therapy, as needed.
A child is less likely to return to bed-wetting after using a moisture alarm if:
- Treatment is continued until the child has been dry for 4 weeks. It can take up to 4 months to see results.1
- The child drinks extra liquids during the day to stretch the bladder toward the end of treatment.
Moisture alarms are inexpensive, safe, and fairly simple to use. But the child and the parents need to be trained in how to use the alarm.

Best Worst And Wackiest Of The Week

WORST: Jennifer Hudson seemed embarrassingly unaware that her black bra showed glaringly through her beige sweater, Lucky Magazine 9th Annual Lucky Shop event in New York City. While we can almost forgive her for falling victim to the bright camera flash, there's no excuse for the pumpkin orange leather hot pants and that are even shorter than her sloppy black cardigan. |

WACKY: With a mane of pink and purple hair that would make even Katy Perry jealous, singer StayC was an eye-catching sight at the Voli Lights Vodkas Event in West Hollywood. Her shredded pantyhose, black and fuchsia platform boots, black leather mini and baggy sweater could be called her eclectic personal style if worn alone – but throw them on at the same time and top off with a rugged backpack, and you have the ingredients of a hot mess!

BEST: The batwing sleeves on Anne Hathaway's draped white gown by Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisc was reminiscent of fellow leading character in The Dark Knight Rises, but was worn to celebrate her new film, Les Miserables, at the world premiere held at the Odeon & Empire Leicester Square in London. With its dramatic neckline, plunging back and pearl-beaded texture, the dramatic dress was the perfect way to feminize the actress' short cropped haircut. Photo: WENN

WACKY: Les Miserables sadly wasn't a fashion hit for all the premiere's guests, with Laura Bailey hitting a very bad note in a pink ball gown that made her look like a walking dessert! The puffy shoulders, lace bodice and long satin skirt of the sickly sweet dress may have been the voice actress' attempt at reflecting the historical period theme, but instead she lowered the tone of the prim and proper event.

WORST: It's almost as if Chinese actress Bai Ling goes out of her way to wear crazy costumes to make sure she's still in the spotlight, and the Voli Lights Vodkas Event in West Hollywood was no different!

WORST: She may have married heartthrob Justin Timberlake and be the envy of his millions of fans, but Jessica Biel's sense of style is not often something to be jealous of.

A Private Toast for a Chic Few
Façonnable opens the doors to its Nice boutique
and raises its glass to the Christmas season
Les Vendanges, or the late harvest, of France's acclaimed vineyards has arrived and Façonnable was there to make a stylish toast.
On a brisk November evening, 15 stores along the prestigious Rue de Paradis and Avenue de Verdun in Nice, including the Façonnable flagship, hosted a special night of wine tasting, music and, of course, shopping, for special customers.
Those select VIPs were given a bracelet, which enabled them to move from store to store, sample 15 different wines, and shop the fall and winter collections of some of the world's most coveted brands.
Inside the Façonnable store, legendary food emporium Fauchon offered up delectable nibbles, while renowned vineyard Domaine de Toasc provided the spirits. Add the presence of a live band and you couldn't help but be in a festive mood. All that was left to do was wrap yourself up in one Façonnable's cozy sweaters or sharp coats and make a toast, "To good food, great wine and timeless style." Cheers!

Laboratory Testing
Several different types of laboratory tests are available for diagnosis of RSV infection. Rapid diagnostic assays performed on respiratory specimens are available commercially. Most clinical laboratories currently utilize antigen detection tests, and many supplement antigen testing with cell culture. Compared with culture, the sensitivity of antigen detection tests generally ranges from 80% to 90%. Antigen detection tests and culture are generally reliable in young children but less useful in older children and adults. Because of its thermolability, the sensitivity of RSV isolation in cell culture from respiratory secretions can vary among laboratories. Experienced laboratorians should be consulted for optimal results.
RT-PCR assays are now commercially available for RSV. The sensitivity of these assays often exceeds the sensitivity of virus isolation and antigen detections methods. Use of highly sensitive RT-PCR assays should be considered, particularly when testing older children and adults because they may have low viral loads in their respiratory specimens.
Serologic tests are less frequently used for routine diagnosis. Although useful for seroprevalence and epidemiologic studies, a diagnosis using paired acute- and convalescent-phase sera to demonstrate a significant rise in antibody titer to RSV cannot be made in time to guide patient care.

Bul****!!!!! I haven't eaten breakfast in 10 years
Agreed. If you look into this study more you find that although they measured the body composition before the study started...they didnt measure body composition at the conclusion of the study. You know why they didnt do this? Because it would have shown a loss of muscle along with the fat. So yes, what they proved was do u in fact lose weight...not the right kind though but they arent going to tell u that. wonder whos side they are really on.
Ya know there are a lot of us out there that have discovered what our bodies prefer to maintain and or lose weight. I just feel bad for the ones that read some of these articles and spin there wheels because of crap reads like this!!!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
IBM on Thursday demonstrated its fastest graphene transistor, which can execute 155 billion cycles per second, which is about 50 percent faster than previous experimental transistors shown by the company's researchers.
The transistor has a cut-off frequency of 155GHz, making it faster and more capable than the 100GHz graphene transistor shown by IBM in February last year, said Yu-Ming Lin, an IBM researcher.
The research also shows that high-performance, graphene-based transistors can be produced at low cost using standard semiconductor manufacturing processes, Lin said. That could pave the way for commercial production of graphene chips, though Lin could not say when manufacturing of such chips would begin.
Commercialized graphene transistors will provide a performance boost in applications related to wireless communications, networking, radar and imaging, said Phaedon Avouris, an IBM fellow. Graphene is a single-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms structured in a hexagonal honeycomb form.
The transistor was developed as part of research IBM is conducting for the U.S. Department of Defense's DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) program to develop high-performance RF (radio frequency) transistors. Avouris said the military has considerable interest in graphene transistors.
The flow of electrons is faster on graphene transistors than conventional transistors, which enables faster data transfers between chips, Lin said. That makes it promising technology for applications such as networking that require communications at fast speeds and high frequencies.
Graphene transistors may be able compute faster than conventional transistors, but are not ideal for PCs yet, Lin said. Because of the lack of energy gap in natural graphene, graphene transistors do not possess the on-off ratio required for digital switching operations, which makes conventional processors better at processing discrete digital signals.
By contrast, the continuous energy flow makes graphene better at processing analog signals, Lin said. Graphene's high electron speed allows for faster processing of applications in analog electronics where such a high on-off ratio is not needed.
The graphene transistor benefited from the use of a new and improved substrate IBM called "diamond-like carbon." The graphene transistor exhibited excellent temperature stability from room temperature down to minus 268 degrees Celsius, which the company called "helium temperature."
"The performance of these graphene devices exhibited excellent temperature stability ... a behavior that largely benefited from the use of a novel substrate of diamond-like carbon," IBM said.
The graphene transistor is also IBM's smallest transistor to date, researchers said. The gate length of the radio-frequency graphene transistor was scaled down from 550 nanometers to 40 nanometers, compared to the gate length of 240 nanometers for the graphene transistor shown last year, which used a silicon carbide substrate.
But more importantly, the performance was achieved using manufacturing technologies compatible with those used in silicon device fabrication, Lin said. That brings the commercial production of graphene chips one step closer to reality, Lin said.
The possibilities of graphene have proved attractive to scientists. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester in the U.K. were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking research in graphene. The scientists isolated graphene in 2004, which laid the groundwork for further research.
Graphene holds great potential for semiconductors, but the industry is still trying to understand its benefits, said Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist at In-Stat.
Graphene cannot yet operate as a digital transistor replacement in conventional silicon chips. However, it could be beneficial as a complementary technology in other carbon-based devices for tasks like signal processing.
"Like any new materials technology, it takes billions of investment dollars to make it a viable alternative to existing technology. Then again, it may eventually be a necessity if the current materials technology hits another physics brick wall," McGregor said.
Graphene has to fit into the three primary pillars of semiconductor manufacturing, which are materials, transistor design and lithography, McGregor said.
"If graphene can be supported through existing and future lithography processes and transistor designs, then it could be a viable materials technology, but only if those two conditions are satisfied," McGregor said.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Here you'll find our favorite recipes, both original goop creations and dishes shared by great make contributors. Browse by ingredient or category to find the perfect dish for any craving or occasion, or simply scroll to get inspired (and seriously hungry).
- ¼ cup Spanish olive oil
- 3 cups diced seasonal vegetables such as green beans, zucchini, baby squash, cauliflower
- 1 cup seasonal mushrooms
- 2 pounds organic chicken legs and thighs, cut up
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
- 1 cup grated fresh tomato
- a pinch of saffron
- 4 cups mineral water
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon pimenton (Spanish smoked paprika)
- 2 cups Spanish bomba or calasparra rice
Paella de Pollo y Verduras (Chicken & Vegetable Paella)
1. Heat the olive oil in a 15-inch paella pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the vegetables until they get a nice brown color. Remove vegetables from the pan and reserve. Add the chicken in small batches to the pan and sear until skin is golden and crisp. Remove the chicken and reserve. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the grated tomato and cook for 1 minute making sure to scrape up all the browned bits from the chicken. Pour in the wine and let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
2. Return the vegetables and chicken to the pan and pour in the mineral water. Allow the mixture to boil for 2 minutes to flavor the water. Then stir in the rice. Season to taste with salt and boil for 10 minutes. Do not stir the rice again, as this can cause the rice to cook unevenly.
3. Crumble the saffron across the top of the paella and sprinkle the pimenton evenly. Do not stir the rice. Cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the paella from the heat, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the paella rest for 5 minutes before serving.

The Pacers said he received an injection on Tuesday from Dr. James Andrews in Gulf Breeze, Fla. Without Granger, the Pacers will be searching for offense to offset his loss. Granger averaged 18.3 points per game last season and led Indiana to the Eastern Conference semifinals. He has led the team in scoring the past five seasons. Gerald Green had started at forward in Granger's absence before coach Frank Vogel turned to Sam Young this week. The Pacers (2-2) play in Atlanta on Wednesday night.
Original Story:
Granger out up to 3 months with injury
Pacers forward Danny Granger underwent a procedure on his left knee Tuesday and it is expected that he could be out of the lineup for up to three months.

Seattle Sounders FC will play a Major League Soccer Reserve League match May 12 at Cheney Stadium.
If the venue works and the fans turn out, Tacoma could be on its way to becoming the permanent home of a USL Pro soccer team affiliated with the MLS Sounders.
"Sounders FC will eventually have an operating partner in the USL," Sounders minority owner and general manager Adrian Hanauer said in a news release. "The city of Tacoma would be a fantastic location for us, and this game will give us a chance to test the market."
Fan interest and Cheney Stadium's suitability as a soccer venue will be closely watched when the Sounders' reserves meet Orlando City SC of USL Pro at 4 p.m. May 12. The game previously had been scheduled for Starfire Sports Stadium in Tukwila.
The Sounders U-23 Premier Development League team played two games at Cheney Stadium last season, but this will be different in several ways.
The pitch will run from home plate down the third-base line, creating better sight lines. Sod will be brought in to cover the dirt infield, and the quality on the pitch should be considerably better.
"This could be a pro experience," said Lane Smith, owner of the Sounders U-23 and Sounder Women's USL teams. "The guys coming down will be on the big roster. … Probably over
$1 million of salaried players coming down to play."
Tickets are available at tacomarainiers.com, through Ticketmaster or by calling 800-745-3000.
After the game, officials from the Sounders and Rainiers are expected to discuss whether to pursue an arrangement in soccer similar to the current baseball relationship between the Mariners and Rainiers.
"We're very interested in making this Soccer City South if we can … and having some kind of partnership," Rainiers president Aaron Artman said. "But it really depends on how this event goes and then down the road how the Sounders and their relationship with USL and where they want to play develops.
"I think everybody's in with kind of open arms and open eyes."
Forward David Estrada (eye) has been ruled out of the Sounders' game Saturday at Colorado. Forwards Eddie Johnson and Obafemi Martins, and defender Patrick Ianni are listed as questionable. … The Rainiers announced they will host "Sounders Night" on July 25 at Cheney Stadium when they face the Tucson Padres. A Sounders FC player will throw out the first pitch, and the Rainiers will wear Sounders-green jerseys, which will be raffled to support Sounders FC charity partners.
