"The Republican Party wUI soon be televising party conventions from the Hollywood Palace with a star-studded cast." Senseless? Cet-tainly. But many of the situations into which American politics have evolved, admit of no easy answers or dismissals. Today citizens are faced with the monumental task of nnaly~ing and interpreting, hopefully to some degree of success, which candidates are worthy of election, our involvement in Viet Nam, the question of bussing childt·en to schools outside their district, Medicaid's value and much more. It is indeed no easy challenge and it becomes increasingly difficu lt to be a valuable citizen in such a complex society. The job ot the political analyst under such conditions is staggering. but if carried out well, increases the objectivity citizens need to better comprehend our volatile political life.

SHEEN TO BE INSTALLED THUR. Poge lwo Guest Editorial MORE THAN A SUPER-MARTINI Of interest to sociology majors, alienated youth, and the moralists among us is anything that Dr. Timothy Leary has to say. And he said many tltings when he spoke at the University of Rochester Wednesday November 30) evening. It was my pleasure to be a member of the capacity audience that overflowed Strong Auditorium to hear this clinical psychologist express and defend his views on the usc of psychedelic drugs. One might have expected to see a rather frothing-atthe- mouth type, ranting against stupid police states which imprison people far their peculiar taste in sugar cubes, and inveighing against denial of the freedom of oral assimilation. If so, one would have been disappointed. Dr. Leary was obviousl.v a man vet·y much in control of his senses, his audience, and his subject. No youthful maniac, this: the speaker was a man with a message to be reckoned with. He began with an apology that he was "in his mind," nd thus. could not begin appropriately with prayer. "You s.,.,, you can't pray unless you're out of your mind." You can file requests with that white Blob that's somewhere Up There, you can sort of stnnd in awe ar him, or you can even feel some kind of, well, "mystical" unity with him. But you can't pray. Prnyer is something different. Later, he explained that the prerequisite for prayer could also be attained without drugs, thouKh with a gTeater degree of difficulty: just sit, as the Buddha did, for about six days, and you'll get turned on. With that pre.liminary statement out of the way, he gnve a short history of his "trade" and some of its exponents. Eventual!)•, he defined the trade as "the systematic alteration of consciousness and teaching others to learn meaning and divinity within." In this, he is most closely associated with Zen Buddhism and ot·icntal wi.sdom ... One put·posc of the League fol' Spiritual Discovery (his t·eligion, founded three months ttgo) is to provide a guru to those who wish to become aware. There are some parallels in western history, Karl Jung, far example, stated in the last chal>ler of his au~obiography that what mattered mast to him WIIS ·'changes in my own consciousness." Wm. Blake was n psychedelic: Wm. James had nitt·ous oxide parties to "turn people on.'' Dt·. Leal'y also associated Martin Luther with this illustrious line. Ole Marty's sacrament of awal'eness wus the pl'inting press, and Marshall l\lcLuhan has explained the re,·olutianary effect that can have on people. You see. ''my dear t'Obots." it all has to do with "the whale Caesar bit": Structures. both political nnd religious. the Brahmins. the Priests-all al'c dedicnlNilo extel'n:tiizing. llut "my tt·ncle reaffil'm~ the divinity of individuals. Thnt's all it does. But maybe thnt's enough maybe that'~ all it has to do." He explained that the interiot· is the domain of the divine. "Anything out there. thnt's Cnesar's'' That'~ what Jesus wns getting at, snys Dr. Leat·y: ·• 'The Kingdom of God is within you." Literally!" THEY would nevet· believe this. He is convinced, with Allen Watts. thnl we are all incredibly one. Psychedelic drugs enable our consciousness to climb back that "beautiful. delicate protein lattice work" nf memat'." to the time when we were mngnificenlly one cellulat· unit. ''We'' don't remember that. but om· DNA does. somehow. And it can carry us back rurther. he said. No wonder we pray "Our father, hallowed be thy name". Holy be the names of nil out· fathers and mothers nnd mothers und fathers of mothet;S .. . " who made my universe. Because "my nervous system is much like a gala."<y in which the conscious ego travels from one lonely protienate globule to another." Travels, that is. IF it hns l>een liberated by psychedelics ft'Om its natural habitat of reality. What the Western world must leam is that "Wherever your consciousness is. that's l'eality !" oleaner ""=C'nf ~ - .aocrrat GLE A NER Dr. Leary quickly dispensed with the problem of science vusus religion. Up till now, religion has been as invia... ible as microbes before the invention of the miscroscope. Psychedelics bring the interior, the realm of religion, into focus. "Let's face it-like it or not, the consciousness is biochemical ... so is most of American life. We wear, eat, drink, and work with chemicals aU the time. Why not use some of them as sacramenta!" "A sacrament is an external sign which opens up the grace inside," which increases the capacity to change the conscious state. And, as there are different levels of consciousness, there at·e also levels of psychdelics. The "seience within" or "science of the within" religion of psychedelic sacraments seeks to learn of and predict changes is consciousness mare subtle than the wellknown one from normal awareness to stupor. Another large aspect of Dr. Leary's talk was his attitude toward the American culture. When asked by a local TV interviewer why he wished to set out to destroy mankind, he suavely replied, "Why, my dear man, I am not aware of any intentions of destroying mankind! I only with to destroy YOUR soc:iety ... " He refers to Americana '66 as an "insane asylum," although "you're probably too close to see it." He cited headlines such as "560 Cang Killed ... Percy Manics Rockefeller . . . Negro Slain at Southern University" and the typical Monday morning response being "He-hum" as indicative of the extent of neurosis. All in America has become ritual, legal, priestly. It is the Brahmins versus the Buddhists, and the Buddhists are gaining. He deplores the racl that "there's no breathing room any more." But the worst aspect of this insanity is education. "Each of us is born into this world beautifully whole, with a complete infinity of possibilities ... What happens? Yom· parents-well-intentioned but mistaken- start narrowing. narrowing you dawn." P'retty soon, they hand you over to those (UGH!) opinionated teachers. (At this, there was a relatively loud chorus of finger-snapping.) "But don't go home and beat up llfom and Dad. When you' re ready, SPIRITUALLY l'eady, go home and turn 'em ani" What does the future hold? The future, as always, belongs to the young, the artists, ani! the alienated. These groups demand more of society, and will take over. "ln twenty years, the entire supreme court will be smoking pOt." For the past six years. LSD pro1>0nents have l>een "underground". They are coming into the Ol>en now, and one day, will be so associated with The System that the name of Leary will be used to squelch young visionaries ("When you are the E,tablishment, don't let it happen!"). lie drew a 1>arallel with "some Guy who was born in Galilee and liked t.o get together and talk thing's over with his friends." By the time it reached the other side of the Mediterranean, this Guy, though long gone, had gained a halo, miraculous birth, and a lot of other jazz." The contented look or other people coming from catacombs finally led t.o ac~pt.ance by Constantine. But that was the beginning of the end. Towat-ds the end of his talk, Dr. Leary gave some sincere comfot·t to those who fear that momlity is mut·dcrcd mot·e effectively by the rise of God within than the "Death of God in our time. ow· history, and our existence." He did not came to pt'Oselytize. Spiritual Discovery is a weekly discipline and the majol'ity of the time, one is nat on a trip. but at home, harnessing his spiritual energies. "There is no instant anything." Even when on a long trip, it is excruciating to percieve "everything becoming a philosophical question mark." Psychedelics are not for those who want a "super-mattini". He confesses to "being a God-intoxicated person." He is glad to have the five or six hours before being baled aut to proclaim his news to the imprisoned and the policemen" The other side." He is a thoroughly engaging speaker, and most plausible. But somehow, I'm not quite ready, myself, to hop on the LSD bandwagon. Are You? - Norma Tracy Letters Dear Editor1-. Uo the c:ommutertl.

When I'm looking to update my collection of tailored pieces, there are a few brands I immediately head to. Cut is everything when it comes to smart workwear or classic items, and finding a brand that delivers on both is essential.
My favourite for such items is probably Reiss. Last October, it was the label I turned to straight away for my new season coat- and let me just say, it was definitely one of my best buys of 2012. Practical, flattering and warm- (80% virgin wool so not too bad!), it's definitely kept me cosy and unobtrusively chic (hopefully!) throughout the colder months.
When I'm in need of THE perfect shirt, Reiss is the place. And for beautifully tailored trousers, there's really no need to look elsewhere. So I just had to compile an edit of my favourite structured pieces for this Spring- there are so many gorgeous new things in stock!
I'm currently loving Reiss even more at the moment after discovering John Lewis stocks them (I'm ALWAYS in John Lewis hehe)- they have a particularly large selection AND I've noticed they have a great amount of Sale stuff, which is always a plus!!

Lovely and elegant human-computer interfacePros: Keyboard is heavy, feels sturdy. Cons: Personally, I wish the lock keys did NOT have a green LED, a simple on/off blue would suffice, but it's not a huge deal. Other Thoughts: Spent some time on this keyboard after buying it. I was talked into ponying up the cash for a mechanical keyboard after speaking to a few people at my school. As a computer science major, I spend a lot of time typing code, and I have a philosophy of buying quality items for thing that you spend a lot of time using, like my memory foam bed. Did you find this review helpful? |
Don't get it for the backlight!Pros: It's my first attempt at a mechanical gaming keyboard and I like the feel of typing on it. Cons: This is the second day I've had the keyboard and the 8 key on the num pad no longer lights up. I JUST GOT IT! And what's more, I may have pressed that key like 5-6 time since I've had it. It's not a common key. Now I've got to go through the hassle of sending it back and everything. 120 dollars and key lights break after 2 days. It's advertised to be durable enough to last for years to come... Years... Don't be a patsy. Choose a different keyboard. I made the mistake of reading the reviews and still buying it. Don't be like me. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome keyboardPros: Bought it yesterday when it was on sale for $90. Got it the next day. Was in a large box with a lot of protective packaging. Was undamaged and has no problems. All the leds work and it isn't too bright. Cons: Not sure if its a con or not but the spacebar doesn't make the same click as the rest of the keys so it's gets -1 egg. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome first upgradePros: The lighting is my brighter than my old razer lycosa i had, and the upgrade to mechanical from membrane keys is best choice i made since buying and SSD. 2 USB ports one is for my mouse and other is for anything else. its a bit hefty and feels very sturdy! Browns switches are not that loud, it would be like a muffled version of blue, it doesn't have a sharp click more like a soft or dampened click. Which is great for night gaming. Cons: All i would have to say is one of the lighting mode i do not like and that is the WASD and arrow keys cluster. I would have liked to see some more keys lit such as R, E, and some other heavily used gaming keys. Also the keys seem far apart and higher, When playing bf3 i went to switch to my sidearm and when i pushed up to reach 2 my finger bumped into it and i had to reach up and over (ill have to get use to it). Also the lighting is not even on multi-function keys, for example the 4 key also has a $. the $ is not lit at all, but the 4 is! Other Thoughts: I was reading alot of reviews on here and other sources, people were saying that some keys such as "n" and "F6" go out. im keeping my box till the 30 days is up just in case! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Over-ratedPros: Nice clicky action Cons: Blue is hard to see, Keyboard is not slim at all, sits too high Other Thoughts: Waited for awhile to catch this on sale, big disappointment. Nowhere near as good as the Logitech Illuminated keyboards. The Blue illumination is uneven and hard to read. Would not buy again. Maybe if they make one with white illumination and a wrist wrest. As it sits, worth maybe $50. No way is it worth over $100. 0 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great KeyboardPros: As soon as I took this out of the box and typed on it I've been in love. I had never typed on a mechanical keyboard before and decided to get a brown switch. The LED's aren't really blinding to me at all, besides it has a dimmer. No problems with keys or led's burning out as other people have had problems with. Its not too loud at all. Has a good weight to it and feels very sturdy. Got mine for $110 back in March and I've been loving it. Mat black keys are very nice. Cons: Wish the "bump" on the keys was a little bit heavier than they are but not too bad at all. Other Thoughts: Once you go mechanical you never go back. Did you find this review helpful? |
Aaahhhh!!Pros: This is my first mechanical keyboard and it feels great to type on compared to past non-mechanical keyboards. Cons: On the first day the "6" key light went out. It irks me every time I look at it. I've gotten to the point where I just turn off the lights during the day so all the keys look the same. I bought the 9100 model because it had a backlight. It's annoying to turn off the lights just because of that one broken light. Other Thoughts: It's a great keyboard but that light is just Aaahhhh!! Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for that light. Manufacturer Response: 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works, but backlights are flakyPros: Good mechanical keyboard, works nicely Cons: Not as quiet as you would imagine, only slightly quieter than a Cherry MX Blue keyboard. Other Thoughts: I personally would likely a slightly harder key-feel, the Cherry MX brown is so light that I still tend to bottom out when typing. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Bad Quality ControlPros: Sturdy mechanical keyboard. A real pleasure to type with Cons: First one I ordered at a malfunctioning 6 key. It started blinking the first day, and then went out. I got a replacement and the same thing happened with the F5 key. If you want a backlit keyboard this is obviously not the company to get it from. Other Thoughts: If you don't want the backlight except occasionally, then this would probably work for you, and it is really nice to type on. But if you are planning on actually utilizing the backlight, I would find a different product. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Excellent keyboard, one complaint.Pros: - Sturdy plastic feel, not cheap feeling at all. (And with good reason, given the price...) Cons: Squeaky space key after a week or two of typing. It's not a constant thing and seems to happen only after prolonged use, but when it does happen it is fairly annoying. I'm hoping it can be adjusted by taking the key off and adjusting some things. If not, ah well - I'll get used to it. Other Thoughts: I didn't really purchase this keyboard for the illumination features, but mostly because of what I had read on the older, non-illuminated version and its poorly constructed detachable cable/port. I do like that it is backlit, so I can use it in darker settings. However, I'm a touch typist anyway so during work the brightness can be distracting. Either way, it's a non-issue, just some thoughts. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

The Supreme Court today asked Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages to withdraw its petition, saying there were no grounds for the Court to hear the issue.
Although a copy of the petition was not yet available, Mr Kapil Sibal, counsel for Coca-Cola, argued that the tests on cola samples were being carried out by laboratories across the country that are not accredited and without any standards for pesticide levels in the country.
The Centre for Science and Environment welcomes the decision of the High Court in response to a petition filed by PepsiCo India Holdings Pvt Ltd and Others, calling for an expert committee to review the findings of pesticide residues in carbonated soft drinks. The experts' findings are to be made available in 3 weeks.
All sides agreed that the government should choose the laboratories where the testing is done, and samples for testing should be picked up at random from the market, not provided by the company.
New Delhi, August 8, 2003: The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) welcomes the Union government's initiative to have soft drinks sold by the two cola giants independently tested for pesticide residues. CSE advises the government to broaden the ambit: testing must be done also for residues of cadmium, arsenic and lead, since the standard for these hazardous substances is much higher – 50 times – than what is legislated for the bottled water industry.
New Delhi August 7, 2003: The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) would like to express its disbelief and its annoyance at the way the soft drink industry is trying to make a mockery of the Indian public and the media. Since CSE's report was released on August 5, soft drink manufacturers have not hesitated to call CSE by every possible name and to attack its credibility; they have also termed its reports "baseless". CSE did not respond because it wanted to see the data that the soft drink manufacturers had in their defense.
Laboratory test finds pesticide residues in all cold drinks tested. Just as it had in bottled water six months ago. How hollow are the quality claims of soft drink multinationals? How can Indian consumers be saddled with sub-standard products? How can companies get away with such bad practices?
A hard-hitting exposé by CSE on how the pesticide industry connived with government officials and scientists in Kerala to successfully lift the ban on a deadly pesticide. At stake here is the integrity of the state government's decision-making for generations far into the future. It not only spells irreparable harm for the residents of Kerala, but also makes a mockery of public health concerns.
JULY 18, 1999 The Greenest Paper Mill in India The Centre for Science and Environment releases the results of its Green Rating Project on the Pulp and Paper Industry
UNDP to fund Green Rating of industry The Government of India (GOI) and UNDP have signed the first sub-programme under the UNDP Environment Programme Support document which was signed in September 1997. Green Rating of Indian industry, the project to be implemented by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), will focus on analysis of industry's environmental performance.

Edited by Dr. Joseph R. Cerami, Dr. Robert H. Dorff, Matthew Harber.
On April 22, 2010, the Bush School of Government and Public Service and the U.S. Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute co-sponsored a colloquium in Washington, DC, on a midterm assessment of leadership and national security reform in the Obama administration. Panelists included experts from the Project on National Security Reform; the Foreign Policy Research Institute; the Hudson Institute; the Council on Foreign Relations; the Reserve Officers Association; the American Security Project; and Creative Associates International, Inc. The colloquium theme focused on the need for advancing the research and study of national security reform by engaging the invited participants to share their expertise on ways to develop a deeper awareness and understanding of the reform issues facing the U.S. Government. Three panels of national security experts discussed: "Assessing National Security Reform"; "Legislative Imperatives"; and, "Assessing National Security Reform-The Way Forward." This book includes a summary of the panelists' presentations, along with chapters written after the colloquium to further address and to assess the effectiveness and the near-term potential for Obama administration's national security reform initiatives.

Colts-Vikings Open Thread

Here's your open thread for the Colts and Vikings.
Remember to follow all your favorite Colts Authority writers and "honored alumni" on Twitter as well:

Here's the Colts Gameday Follow list.
I'll be on with Jersey Johnny tonight about 8:15 on 1070 the Fan. I'll also be on at 12:15 on WIBC.
We'll have post-game coverage here on CA, but also check out Todd, Kyle and I at Bleacher Report today as well.
Great, down to the wire games all over the place. Very happy to have been eliminated from my Survival picks on the Pats loss.
Oooof! New England fail!
Can we tell Pats fans that Vinnie wouldn't have missed that one? (*evil grin*)
Well... I think the lesson of the game is that the coaches have to stop fettering Luck. Let him play. Give him some better plays.
They have to stop overcoaching games. Too many of decisions made could've cost them the game.
@AJ_ I couldn't agree more. When they gave luck sane plays to run he produced big time. Frankly at this point Luck should be calling the game.
The only thing I wanna know now is was the playcalling by Arians a result of not wanting Luck throwing too much, the OLine...what exactly? This game should have been a blowout.
@Platinum It was a result of Arians playing scared and it almost cost us the game. He was run out of Pittsburg for a reason.
@Platinum I'm not sure why he didn't trust Luck to continue to put more points up, like he was already doing. You know we can't run it, so just give him some 3-5 step drops (no 7-step or empty sets) and see what he can do for you. Run it occasionally to keep them off-balance still. I thought it showed a complete lack of faith by Arians in Luck's ability to lead the team up and down the field.
@TheGreatMisdirect @Platinum And an absurd amount of faith in a patchwork line to do something they haven't been able to do in five years.
Now we need to SQUIBBBBBBBB.,..... do not let Harvin get his hands on the ball
WHY DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE VINATIERI'S NAME? I mean, come on, guys. It's not like he's a rookie.
Are we gonna pretend this is a Ponder miracle? Talk about adding up insult to injury.
@Goéland You can't win a game when your coordinator forgets what team he's calling for.

I have been asked to disable all the wireless, bluetooth, microphone and camera devices. This much I have figured out by using the XML file. Now there is no way they can use those devices. The only problem is, if we have a user that thinks he's slick and wants to try and re-enable these devices, all they would have to do is go into the settings and do a factory reset. This wipes all the XML configuration settings and they can use the devices again. My question is, how do I go about blocking access to that option so they can't mess around with the settings and do a factory reset? I have searched google and found no information on this. I've also submitted a thread on the Lenovo forums with no luck. I also looked on XDA, but the Lenovo is barely discussed over there. This tablet is running Honeycomb 3.1. If anyone has any information on this, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! - 01-18-2012, 03:53 PM #2
Re: Any way to block access to "settings"??
You might be searching for a broad topic in a limited resource. Android is Android is Android. Look for how to remove access to settings for the version of Android like for v 2.3, or 3.0, etc... I would think that it would involve nothing short of making a custom ROM to do it correctly.

Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay [1] (15 September 1876 – 16 January 1938) was a Bengali novelist and short story writer of early 20th century.
Personal life[edit]
Sarat Chandra was born in Debanandapur, Hooghly, Bengal Presidency, British Raj. His family was occasionally supported by other family members and Chattopadhyay's lack of financial stability would influence his writing in years to come. He started his education at "Pyari Pandit"s" pathshala and then he took admission at Hooghly Branch High School. Although he began as a fine arts student, Chattopadhyay left his studies due to his persistent state of poverty. He received his early education while residing at his maternal uncle's house in Bhagalpur. He spent 20 years of his life in Bhagalpur and a significant portion of his novels were either written in Bhagalpur or based on his experience in Bhagalpur.
His work represented rural Bengali society and he often wrote against social superstitions and oppression. For a short period he was a sannyasi, a Hindu ascetic who abandons the material and social worlds. His first published story was "Mandir".
After the death of his parents, Chattopadhyay left his college education midway and went to Burma in 1903. There he found employment with a Government Office as clerk. He returned to India, but before his departure he submitted a short story for a prize competition under his uncle's name, Surendranath Ganguli. It won first prize in 1904.
Vishnu Prabhakar wrote a biography about Chattopadhyay. Prabhakar traveled for fourteen years to collect material.
He died in Kolkata of liver cancer in 1938.
House of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay[edit]
After returning from Burma, Chattopadhyay stayed for 11 years in Baje Shibpur, Howrah. Then he made a house in the village of Samtabere. He spent the later years of his lifetime as a novelist in Samtabere and in another house in Kolkata. His house in Samtaber is often called by and shown as Sarat Chandra Kuthi in the map of Samtaber or Samta, in the Howrah district of West Bengal.
The Rupnarayan River then used to flow right outside the window of Sarat Chandra's ground floor study. Now, the river has changed its route and has moved far away. The two storied Burmese style house was also home to Sarat Chandra's brother, Swami Vedananda, who was a disciple of Belur Math. His along with his brother Swami Vedananda's samadhi can still be seen there. Swami Vedananda was a disciple in Belur Math. The trees like that of bamboo, galoncho and the guava trees planted by the renowned author are still tourist attractions.[2]
Parts of the house-like the mud-walled kitchen-collapsed and the house was damaged in the 1978 floods, the Zilla Parishad undertook its repair spending 77000. After it was declared as a Heritage or Historical Site by the Clause 2 of the West Bengal Heritage Commission Act 2001 (Act IX of 2001)[3][4] Act IX of 2001 in 2009 the whole house was renovated and the belongings of Sarat Chandra like his furniture, walking stick, shoes etc. were polished and are restored in showcases. The house's boundary has been extended until the Samadhis, surrounding them which earlier used to lie on the road.
Sarat Mela[edit]
Sarat Mela is an annual fair which is held in late January every year for seven days to showcase the different lifetimes of Sarat Chandra. The fair is solely dedicated to Sarat Chandra and his works. Sarat Mela was started in 1972. Complete with countless stalls of handicrafts and local products, giant wheels, merry-go-rounds, stalls of jalebi, papad, toys, utensils, etc. Cultural programs mostly held by local talents, debate and singing competition is also held. Students display their handicrafts as do amateur and professional gardeners. They also display unique like over-sized vegetables and plants, series of terracotta relief plaques depicting the various phases of Sarat Chandra's life like his childhood, his marriage, his homeopathic clinic for the poor, his last journey to Kolkata's Park Nursing Home in a palanquin and so on which catch the eye. Also such clay "illustrations" of Sarat Chandra's works like Mahesh are installed. The fair ends late at night with Chhau dance and a fireworks display.
The fair is held on the Panitras High School grounds some distance from Sarat Chandra's house but if it could be shifted to the open space where the Rupnarayan River once flowed right in front of the house people could link the two more easily. The Government of West Bengal does not provide funds, only private and public donations allow the villagers to hold the fair. However, sometime the number of people it draws is reduced due to unpleasant weather conditions like rainfall.

How to Get In: University of California—Berkeley School of Law
What can you do to set yourself apart in your application? Admissions officials have the answers.
We posed questions to admissions officials at the University of California—Berkeley School of Law regarding the application process, what they look for in applicants and what sets their school apart. These are their responses:
1. What can applicants do to set themselves apart from their peers?
We use a holistic review process to screen several hundreds of applications, culled from thousands we receive each year. Many of these have very similar or identical grades or LSAT scores. A well-written, substantive personal statement is often the only way an applicant can indicate the factors that set him or her apart from the rest. Other factors that could possibly distinguish applicants are a graduate degree, significant work or leadership experience, or mastery of a creative pursuit.
2. What do you look for in the application essays? What do the essays tell you about a candidate?
It is important that our classrooms be composed of students with a diverse array of experiences and life backgrounds. Therefore, the best essays describe the "voice" that an applicant will contribute to classroom dialogue. We also look for strong writing skills and attention to detail, which the applicant can illustrate in a lengthy personal statement.
3. How important is the applicant's LSAT score? How do you weight it against undergraduate GPA and work experience? Which of these carry the most weight? The least?
In brief, academic record, LSAT score, and personal statement/recommendations each comprise about one-third of our review.
4. How much does prior work/internship experience weigh into your decision making? What's the typical or expected amount of work experience from an applicant?
Although not required, work and internship experiences can differentiate the applicant from others. About 60 percent of our students held a challenging job or internship, or pursued a graduate degree or creative endeavor for at least one year after graduating from college.
5. What sets you apart from other schools? What can students gain from your school that they might not be able to find anywhere else?
At Berkeley Law, our students and faculty share a collective commitment to a broad public mission. We are driven to excel academically, but we are also determined to channel our tremendous resources to benefit society.
We're nestled within the UC—Berkeley campus, one of the world's finest research universities. That concentration of intellectual wealth offers our law students incomparable opportunities for pursuing their passions, wherever they may lead.
6. What do you look for in recommendation letters? How important is it that the letter's writer has worked regularly with the candidate in an office or school setting? Do you put much weight on letters from prominent public figures who may not know the applicant well?
The best letters are typically from professors or teaching assistants who taught the applicant in college and who can comment on his or her intellectual curiosity, integrity, collegiality, and so on. The next best letters come from supervisors or colleagues from a work or internship setting. Letters from prominent public figures, relatives, or friends of the family carry little or no weight.
7. Can you give a brief description of the life cycle of an application? What's the timeline applicants should expect?
Applications for admission to the first year of the J.D. program are accepted during the fall and winter, between October 1 and February 1. Applicants should apply as early as possible, preferably before Thanksgiving. We make admission decisions on a "rolling" basis, which means that there are more admission offers available early in the cycle.
8. Which firms/organizations recruit heavily from your school? Which ones hire the highest percentage of your graduates?
Many of our graduates are employed at large private law firms across the country. Others pursue public interest or government employment helped in large part by our enhanced Loan Repayment Assistance Program, which provides up to 10 years of unlimited support for repaying law school student loan debt.

Bill Carrothers: See the Piano, Play the Piano
The quest for chaotic and stupid finger seems an unusual one for a jazz pianist. But then, a conversation with Bill Carrothers reveals an unusual man; one who is to-the-point and forthright to a fault, perhaps, and one who's words spill from his mind unfiltered by anyone's expectations. Much the way his playing on Joy Spring (Pirouet, 2010)a celebration of the music of hard bop trumpet icon Clifford Brown
Early Struggles/Early Recordings
Carrothers' trajectory as a jazz artist has been fairly normal: piano lessons when he was a kid, which he says he hated, then a stint at North Texas State University's jazz program that he walked out of early on, followed by the seemingly required pilgrimage to New York City. He spent some time in the Big Apple, 1988 to 1993, but then retreated to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. "Me and New York did not get along," Carrothers explains. "Five years, and it wasn't five of my better years. And that's a long story. I don't do well in big cities; I don't do well with lots of people around. I find it very useful for me to keep my interactions with other people finite, and on my own terms. I really like people when I'm around them. When I choose to be with people, I really have fun and have a great time, and then I like to disengage and go back to my hole and be alone. That's just how it works for me. When you go to the city, you're constantly having your bubble invaded. I grew up in the country, and I need trees."
He is adamant, to the point of pugnacity. After a long and often rambling but always interesting conversation, he gives the impression that he is a man who haswith the exceptions of his music, his family and baseballa tempestuous relationship with life.
When asked what's outside his window right now, he states: "Trees." Though, he adds, "Another couple of years this is gonna to be palm trees in the U.P (Upper Peninsula). Listen, there's a lot of people up here who'd be perfectly happy with that. Global warming; everyone talks about global warming and how horrible it is, [but] for anyplace north of here, it's great. It's the best news they've heard all month."
Carrothers' profile, in spite of some inspired recordings, has hovered around the lower end of the spectrum. Even Home Row, a 1992 trio outing with the legendary Gary Peacock
His music is often informed by his interest in history. Civil War Diaries: Solo Piano (Illusion Music, 2005) and Blues and the Greys: Music of the Civil War (Bridge Boy Music, 1998) explored the music of the War between the States, but it was his study of the music of the First World War, the two-CD set Armistice 1918 (Sketch Music, 2004), that was his breakout effort, the one that got the reviewers writing and found its way onto many of that year's top ten lists.
Joy Spring
Trumpeter Clifford Brown (1930-1956) was one of hard bop's pioneers. The sides he recorded with drummer Max Roach
When asked why a tribute to Brown, Carrothers says, "I've always played swing music. Armistice [1918] is really more of an anomaly than the Clifford Brown stuff. Most of the trio efforts I've made are more off-kilter, but they've been standards records, or music from the standard repertoire. Now, with the Clifford Brown stuff, what's going on is he's the first jazz guy that I fell in love with. Him and Oscar Peterson
. I listened to a lot of Clifford Brown's stuff when I was thirteen, fourteen years old, the old LPs on MRC, and I wore at least two of those sets out. So it was just kind of returning to a music I loved when I was younger, and continue to love, and I think it's criminally under-recorded.
"[With] a lot of his music, it dawned on me that nobody ever does these tunes," Carrothers continues, "and it's kind of surprising to me. They're really great tunes and everyone kind of has that canon of stuff that everyone plays. Somehow [Brown's] hasn't made it to that canon, and I don't really know why. 'Gertrude's Bounce,' and even that blues, 'Gerkin for Perkin,' a slick little blues tune that no one every plays. So my interest was twofold: return to something I enjoyed when I was younger and to bring my own thing that I do to it, and also to bring up this kind of music, which is neat music; I was hoping to do my tiny little part to bring it some recognition again."
The set opens with Benny Golson
"[I practice] just enough to get my fingers together," Carrothers explains. "And most of my practicing is just finger stuff for classical music. I've been working on the [Bach] Goldberg Variations, and I do the Two Part Inventions and Mozart, just stuff to keep my fingers together. But I don't practice jazz very often. I don't want to. I want to keep my fingers in a state of chaos, it's much better that way, because it keeps you from the clichés; it keeps me from playing the clichéd stuff."
On Joy Spring's title cut, Carrothers drastically changes Brown's take on the tune, slowing it down from its gregarious ebullience, turning it into a beautiful and solemn hymn. "When I was younger I was a real fireballer," Carrothers explains. "I played lots of notes and I was really fast and I could play super type bebop stuff when I was 22, 23 years old.
"Then I saw Shirley Horn
On "Jacqui," Carrothers shows he can still fireball it, and he has no problem avoiding clichés. He and his trio matesdrummer Bill Stewart and bassist Drew Gress drive deep inside the tune, hooking into the groove, Carrothers dancing with Lady Chaos, without letting her quite take the lead. And he seems to be playing his piano in a state of ecstasy.
"I just [made] a solo piano recording last summer [2009], of all-original music, and most of it was spontaneously recorded in a studio," says Carrothers. "[I] just played a bunch of two, three and four minute vignettes, just off the top of my head, and about four or five of the tunesI think there's fourteen or fifteen tunes on the albumare things I had written before, original things of mine. Then there's one standard on there, "Harbor Lights." I think Pirouet's talking about buying that off of me and putting it out. So that would be coming out; also, Pirouet recorded my European Trio (with bassist Nicolas Thys and drummer Dre Pallemaerts) when we played at the Vanguard last summer [July 14-19, 2009]. We played a week at the Vanguard and we played a bunch of things, some of my music and some Clifford Brown and some standards; just played the stuff we like to play for a week there, and they recorded three nights of that. I think they're gonna do something with that at some point.
"And then I'm working on something that's like the Armistice [1918] recording," Carrothers continues. I went to like seven labels with that recording and no one wanted it, and I'm having the same difficulty with this new one. I've taken it to a bunch of people and nobody's interested. It's a recording with washboard and banjo, like an old, old Dixieland recording [but] with modern harmony, with that feel to it, and with tuba. And with a brass band with piano, too. I've interested Bill Stewart in playing washboards, which he's never really done. He said he'd think about it; he said he'd try it. I haven't worked out anybody else, but I can't find a label that's interested. It's a strange project, but Armistice [1918] was a strange project, too, and nobody wanted to touch that, but it worked out."
See the Piano, Play the Piano
Carrothers is a big baseball fan. He's originally from Excelsior, Minnesota, about forty minutes west of Minneapolis, and his team is the Minnesota Twins. Comparing hitting in baseball to playing the piano, Carrothers says: "You remember Kent Hrbek, first baseman with the Twins (1981-1994). They asked him, 'What's your philosophy of hitting?' He said, 'See the ball, hit the ball.' Now Tony Gwynn [San Diego Padres, 1982-2001, right fielder, multiple batting Championships], he studied everybody. He studied stances; he studied his own stance; he filmed himself; he filmed every pitcher. He had video on his laptop, at the end of his career, of every pitcher he ever faced, so every day he would look at everybody and how he did. On the piano, I'm more Kent Hrbek.
"I don't think much about the piano now," Carrothers continues. "I just did some solo concerts. I played at the Gilmore Keyboard Festival. It's really fun now to just sit down now and play the piano. That's actually the easiest part of my day. That's the fun part. It's the rest of life that's complicated and weird and difficult. But the piano is kind of the constant that kind of never leaves. It's just kind of there, and I don't think about it that much. I really love music, I listen to a lot of music, and I guess I try to study music when I listen to it, like 'Wow, what are they doing; how does it work?' and just enjoying it too; but I try not to make too much out of it. For me there's a danger in making the whole thing too heavy. Music's just music. I'm certainly not curing cancer or anything. It's just music. It's supposed to be fun. You're supposed to just play and then go on with your day."
When it's noted that, in listening to his music and watching him on YouTube, there is an obvious joy in his artistry, Carrothers responds: "I like to play. Come on, what's not to like. It's fun. You know, I've poured concrete, and that sucks. You pour concrete for a living, now that's a frickin' job. So playing the piano, what's not to be happy about? As jobs go, you can get paid to dream shit up. It's nice work if you can get it."

How is meditation practiced?Meditation is a time-honored method of letting go of the mind. Though there are many ways to meditate, the one common factor for all methods is relaxation and concentration on a single theme for a certain length of time. When the mind wanders, it is gently but firmly brought back to the area of focus. Gradually, the practitioner is able to transcend the conscious mind and be in meditation.

Early Life
Actress. Born November 8, 1968, in Baltimore, Maryland. With her parents and her twin brother, Chris, Posey moved south early in her childhood, growing up first in Monroe, Louisiana, and later in Laurel, Mississippi. An enthusiasm for ballet led her to contemplate becoming a professional dancer. When she was turned down for the dance program at the North Carolina School of the Arts, a faculty member there suggested she try acting. Posey subsequently applied and was accepted to the drama program at the State University of New York at Purchase.Acting Debut
In the spring of her senior year, Parker Posey won a role as the devious teenager Tess Shelby on the popular daytime soap opera As the World Turns. She stayed on the show throughout the 1991-92 season. In 1993, she was cast in Nora Ephron's blockbuster romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan; unfortunately, her scenes as the neighbor of Hanks' character were eventually cut from the film.Posey first earned notice on the big screen for her outlandish performance in Dazed and Confused, writer-director Richard Linklater's hilarious tribute to high school life in the 1970s. With the release of the now cult favorite Party Girl (1995), in which she played a New York urban socialite by night/library clerk by day, Posey was well on her way to earning the moniker "Queen of the Indies"-as in independent films.
Career Highlights
Over the next several years, she turned in supporting performances in such offbeat projects as Kicking and Screaming (1995), Waiting for Guffman, and The Daytrippers (both 1996). In 1997, she starred in no fewer than three much-hyped entries at the Sundance Film Festival, including Clockwatchers, SubUrbia, and The House of Yes. While the quality of these independent productions varied, Posey's sharp, funny portrayals of sometimes bizarre characters earned her a good deal of praise.In 1998, Ephron remembered Posey when it came time to cast her next Hanks-Ryan pairing, You've Got Mail. In her first substantial mainstream film role, Posey brought her sometimes abrasive screen personality to the character of Hanks' narcissistic book editor girlfriend. She returned to Sundance that same year with The Misadventures of Margaret, costarring Brooke Shields.
Posey took on another high-profile project in 2000, appearing in the ensemble cast of Scream 3, the final installment in the wildly successful teen horror-comedy trilogy directed by Wes Craven and co-starring Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courtney Cox-Arquette.
