Law Practice Management
BigLaw Associate Pay Should Be Cut to $125K or Even $100K, Consultant Says
Posted Sep 8, 2009 11:53 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Some big law firms are cutting annual pay for new associates from $160,000 to $145,000, but the cuts need to go deeper, according to a law firm consultant.
Writing at Cotterman on Compensation, one of the consulting firm's principals, Jim Cotterman, says pay is still out of line, and it should drop to $125,000 or even $100,000.
Lawyer compensation will take a hit in other areas too, Cotterman predicts. He says signing bonuses are likely to be cut, benefits reduced and bonuses made more difficult to attain.
The impetus for the changes will be client demands, he says. "Services will be competitively bid, outsourced, offshored, converged, internalized, re-engineered, and even forgone." Add alternative fee arrangements into the mix, he says, which transfer risk to law firms. "All of this will bring the major line item in any law firm—the cost of people—under assault. This will affect total employment, wage scales and job expectations."
Cotterman sees a bright side, however. As law firms create new bonus policies, they will define what it is they are seeking from associates, possibly creating multiple career paths. "Time to rethink up or out, tiered ownership and the array of tactics deployed over the past 20 years," he writes. "The trade-off for associates—lower remuneration hopefully mitigated by better career development and opportunity."

Residents are invited to provide input on a possible at during a community forum Oct. 5.
The forum is slated at 7 p.m. in the Cafetorium. A follow-up survey will go out to parents after the forum.
The debate about implementing a drug-testing policy at has been taking place for about three years. Legally, only students involved in sports and extracurricular activities, along with those who have parking privileges, are eligible to be randomly drug tested.
The policy, drafted by high school and district administration, has been discussed and revised a number of times. Most recent changes to the policy included:
- The selection process for each random test will be run by the Student Assistance Program coordinator and athletic director. The policy previously stated it would just be witnessed.
- Students are encouraged to notify the Student Assistance Program coordinator that he or she is taking a prescription medication as it may cause a positive result. The policy previously stated it would be the student's choice to notify the administrator.
- Drug-testing records are considered temporary and will be kept with the Student Assistance Program coordinator. This was added to the confidentiality portion of the policy and procedures.
Information about the drug-testing procedures, code of conduct, and parking application and consequences can be found on the district website.

Ease of Use
This drug has many side effects. I have been researching it and seems to get worse when you try to stop taking it. I am also taking another antidepressant so I am not sure which one is helping more. Neither one is really working very well. I have been on Zoloft for about 7 weeks.

Promaster Land Eco-Drive Duratect Perpetual Calendar Alarm Chronograph
I really love the Retro-look of this
It reminds me of the Confirmation Heuer my brother received when he was 16. In the 70ies not only car tires had white "walls" but also Chronographs often featured two-tone subdials. Interesting about this picture, you can clearly see the sandwich-layered dial at the subdial circles. The top layer is blue and transparent at the subdials and silver on the lower layer where the solar cells are at work.
Also the bracelet is absolutely 70ies and on the picture from the side, you can see, that all the links feature the same link bars, so this bracelet can be adjusted to any small size wrist.

I had heard that The Master was to be Paul Thomas Anderson's fictionalized exposé of Scientology, but it isn't so. He might be dramatizing the life of Aimee Semple McPherson or any other charismatic spieler who developed a following in the 20th century. While the movie does deal with the formative years of a "movement" called The Cause, Anderson's primary focus is the complex relationship between a magnetic self-promoter named Lancaster Dodd (Hoffman) and a lost soul still suffering the emotional scars of World War Two. Freddie Quell (Phoenix) is a strange, inarticulate, oversexed loner with a talent for making moonshine who stumbles into Hoffman's rarefied world quite by chance and stays because he has nowhere else to go. Why Hoffman takes such an interest in the animalistic young man is never explained, but these two disparate men form a bond, and there's no question that it's a two-way connection.
Both actors are working at the peak of their powers. Phoenix's harsh, almost emaciated look and expressive body language manage to convey all the turmoil going on in his head. We never fully comprehend why he is such a tortured soul—"beyond saving," in the words of Hoffman's steely wife, well played by Amy Adams—but we marvel at his mood swings and often contradictory behavior.
Hoffman's Lancaster Dodd is a meticulous-looking charmer blessed with the gift of gab. He's seldom caught off guard except, now and then, by the actions of his randy and violent protégé. Hoffman projects the precise mix of leadership qualities and bluster to be credible as a man who inspires people to follow (or is it "swallow"?) his teachings, which his own son avers he is making up as he goes along.
Part of the appeal of The Master is its seemingly effortless recreation of time and place, as filmed by Mihai Malaimare, Jr. in crisp 65mm. By choosing just the right locations and casting unfamiliar actors (with period-appropriate hairstyles and clothing) in the supporting roles, Anderson never has to over-sell the idea that we are in post-War America; we simply believe it. The production design by Jack Fisk and David Crank is superb, never flashy. Jonny Greenwood's discordant score is punctuated by perfectly-chosen music of the era, like Duke Ellington's jaunty "Dancers in Love."
But what, ultimately, is this film about? We're left to make up our own minds about Dodd and his controversial Cause, and we never have a chance to penetrate the enigma of Freddie. Parts of the lengthy film are deliberately strange and difficult to penetrate. There is a musical passage near the end of the film that defies belief, let alone understanding, but I suppose one shouldn't expect explicit storytelling from the man who climaxed Magnolia with a shower of frogs.
The Master provides a challenging, alternately rewarding and frustrating experience unlike any other I've encountered this year. I'm sorry I couldn't fully embrace it, but in the long run I'd rather watch Paul Thomas Anderson aim for the fences and miss than slog through sheer mediocrity.
David Mortimer | November 22, 2012 7:53 AM
I went to see this last night, I must say that it has fantastic camera work, direction also top notch, acting was amazing, I loved the period piece settings but this is where we start to hit road bumps ,the story unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired and for me I kept asking when is this going to take off looking at my watch and my other thought was how will it end just as it started it seems .

Mr. Maltin's standards may seem exacting to some, but I can understand his inquiries. The film ultimately avoids answering what exactly made Freddie so troubled, although there is evidence that his deviant nature predated the war. But this is a film about power first and second, if at all, about psychology. The most important thing to know about Freddie is that he was poor and unemployed when Dodd met him, and Dodd used his desperate situation to turn him into a follower.
There was a brief lull in the second hour, however it did not subtract from the film's achievement as much as has been suggested. This film is not for everybody. That much I will admit. But for the patient viewer, it is quite rewarding.
mike schlesinger | September 14, 2012 4:44 PM
FWIW, I interpreted Dodd's interest in Freddie as, "If I can save this creep, I can save anybody!" I agree that it just misses, but my belief is that he left too much in the cutting room. Too often, things are discussed in a way that presumes we've seen them, or plot threads are opened and then tossed away. I suspect it could've been a lot more (for lack of a better word) satisfying, but Anderson clearly didn't want to go that route. So I'd call it 85% of a great movie.

Blog Posts and Tweets Helped Defense Team Win Acquittal for Casey Anthony in Capital Murder Case
Posted Jul 14, 2011 12:45 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
It wasn't just when selecting jurors that defense counsel in the high-profile Casey Anthony murder trial found social media helpful.
Her legal team also looked to opinions expressed on Twitter, Facebook and in blog posts for strategic guidance about how best to defend a client accused of capital murder in the death of her own 2-year-old daughter, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
On a daily basis, consultant Amy Singer of Fort Lauderdale analyzed thousands of messages and then reported to Anthony's lead lawyer, Jose Baez, what people were thinking. He then took that into account when deciding how the defense would proceed.
When Casey Anthony's father, George Anthony, came under social media attack over his alleged mistress, "the defense team beefed up their questions against him," Singer tells the newspaper. "None of the bloggers ever changed their minds about him."
In a triumph for the defense, Casey Anthony was acquitted last week on all major charges and found guilty of only of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information.

Inexpensive Vacation Ideas
It seems everyone's looking for inexpensive vacation ideas. Well, Vacation Rentals.com has always offered up affordable vacations for families, solo travelers, couples, and just about anyone else. So, even if you're new to our cheap beach rentals, condos, and villas, don't hesitate to book.
Top 5 Inexpensive Vacation Ideas
- This one's probably not surprising - stay in a vacation rental, not a hotel. Not only will your rental rate be lower, but you'll get more space and amenities. Plus, it's easy to accommodate a big group in a home - rather than a hotel room - and you can all split the bill! On top of that, with a vacation rental, you'll have a big kitchen to cook in so you won't waste money eating out all the time.
- Do your research. When you plan ahead, you'll plan to save. Figure out where the best and cheapest restaurants and shops and attractions are, and give yourself time to comparison shop!
- Travel during the off-season. If you're headed to the beach, try not to go during Spring Break. If you're going to Disney World, try not to go during one of the theme park's major events. Again, if you do your research, you'll know when the best time to visit is. You'll save tons of lodging and airfare traveling when other people aren't. Note: just because you're traveling in the off-season doesn't mean you'll have to deal with bad weather!
- Impromptu travelers can cash in on awesome last minute vacation deals! In fact, if you're open-minded about your destination and simply want to get out of town, why not choose your destination based on the best last minute deal?
- Where you go matters. Try SeaWorld instead of Disney World or Austin instead of New York City. You can have as much fun in a mellower town as you can in a major one; just do some researching and you'll find a great match for you and your group.
We've got the most affordable vacation accommodations all on one site. Whether you're looking for a Miami Beach condo rental or a Cape Cod cottage or a Boston apartment rental, we've got many cheap lodging options for you to mull over. On top of the 'by default' savings, owenrs are always offering up extra special deals!
At this point, you may be thinking that Vacation Rentals.com's inexpensive vacation ideas are either boring or too-good-to-be-true. After all, don't you have to spend lots of money in order to enjoy a luxurious getaway?
Fortunately, our vacation rentals are typically very big, very luxurious, and packed with awesome amenities that will keep you entertained and pampered throughout your vacation. However, because they're not a part of some big hotel chain, you'll benefit from reasonable rental rates - not to mention the experience of staying in a "homey" living space.
Fill Yourself In
Once you get to your destination, Vacation Rentals.com is still around to help you save money. Our online travel guides will give you all the skinny on what restaurants to eat at, how to get to the airport, when to visit, and of course, what to see and do. If you're not sure where to go, we've also got suggestions for you! And considering that we live, eat, and breathe travel, you know our suggestions are good. To get your creativity going, browse our many vacation ideas.
Despite all the resources we provide, you're probably in search of some specific inexpensive vacation ideas. Sure, it's cool to know about how to do Vegas on a budget or how to take advantage of last minute deals. But what are some general, universal rules of thumb?
Still need some help? Browse our inexpensive vacation ideas and then browse our accommodations. It can't hurt to look, and who knows? You just may book your dream, but cheap vacation today.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to provide my secondary methods students with a tour of the features of the INET Library. Their need to know of available quality resources becomes more urgent as these future educators begin the process of writing content area unit plans and interdisciplinary units. Tuning them in to INET's features such as sample assessment documents, curriculum guides, learning materials, instructional strategies, and student activities will augment their network of resources and tremendously assist them as they undertake the processes of designing units, lessons, and assessment instruments.
I also appreciated the opportunity to get reacquainted with INET's superb distinctive elements for teachers at all levels. Your presentation and adept answering of my sutdent's questions with respect to how INET Library will reduce the amount of times they spend negotiating your website, and searching the Internet for quality resources is most appreciated by us all.
Please accept this thank you from me personally and on behalf of my students for your time, cordiality and the excellent information you provided. I hope that I may call on you again in the future to speak to methods students about the features of INET Library.
Most gratefully,
Dr. Tim J. Sharer

As a new subscriber to INET Library our STMS teachers are so pleased with this fabulous new resource that makes it very easy to access an amazing wealth of information. The teachers are excited and so are the students. I have taken an entire class into the computer lab to use INET Library and the students were also thrilled with INET Library's ease of use and quality sites.
INET Library's staff has been most helpful. I have had to call Steve Biley several times and he has been completely supportive. Bravo!

As our district moves from an industrial age model into an information age system of teaching and learning, INET Library continues to be a valuable resource to connect our small, rural district to the vast world beyond our school house walls. Going from a one-size fits all school system to an educational one-stop shopping center could not be accomplished without technology, and the INET Library fits perfectly into our vision of developing individual education plans for every student.

Last spring out school looked at the INET Library on preview for several months and decided as a district to purchase it for the 2000-01 year. So far, our classes at the high school have been coached on how to use this service when they come into the library to do any type of research (they also use it on their own time). Students use this for many types of projects, and because of the SEARCH function, it makes locating information easy, and boolean searching can be used too (power search). Some of our students like using the homepage on a daily basis, because of the national and international news for current events. Our teachers have told me how much they like using the lesson plans and curriculum builder. INET Library is like one stop shopping, because of the current events, reference (in the Library page), homework help, and personal (home life) sections. It seems like this service is getting better by the day!

Just a note to tell you how happy our entire school is with INET Library. For years I've searched for a dynamic tool to put in the hands of parents and teachers to help with Internet research. INET Library is that tool! Your weekly up-dates are great and relieve me of the burden of trying to keep our faculty on the cutting edge with educational sites. Our science department loves the curriculum builder added this summer. Again, INET Library is the best product for my schools and is a must for my students.
Thanks so much,

Thank you for bringing INET Library to my attention and for making it available for our use. It is a tremendous resource with unlimited potential to be of assistance to teachers and students alike. As Director of Technology for Teacher Education in the School of Education at the University of South Carolina at Spartanburg, I am constantly looking for the best products and services to recommend for use by our faculty and students. INET Library is one of the best Internet resources I have seen.
You have brought together an incredible collection of some of the best web sites on the Internet. As our students are preparing to become teachers, they need access to the latest information and technologies so they will be prepared to lead their students. INET Library will be a tremendous resource to them in this process. Thanks again for making it available to us and best wishes in your efforts to improve education..
J. Tom Davis, Ed.D.
Director of Technology for Teacher Education
University of South Carolina, Spartanburg, SC
I want to thank you for introducing me to INET Library. It has been a
brilliant addition to the Library resources here at Russell Junior High
I am especially impressed by the wide range of capabilities it offers.
I can point teachers to lesson plans, students to web pages for
research, and browsers to educational games.
One of the finest aspects is the layout itself. As I help students
navigate the site, I find that the pathfinding aspect of the page is
immensely helpful to hone information skills. We talk about the
subdivisions, headings, and the way the individual pages have been
categorized and refereed.
Teachers who have asked me for new approaches to lessons have found the lesson plans particularly helpful.
One overwhelmed new teacher was helped enormously on an Egypt lesson by using Mr. Donn's website, found under the History lesson plans. I have also pointed frazzled math teachers to golf-infused lesson plans.
The world history teacher sent students to print out their names in heiroglyphics without giving them the site address to use. I used the INET links to ancient Egypt, found it almost immediately, and now live in the hearts and minds of the students as Robo-Librarian! Thanks for giving me the street credibility I need!
Yours Gratefully,
Lisa Denton

LA MESA (CNS) - A police sergeant escaped serious injury early Wednesday when a car, abandoned by a fleeing auto-theft suspect, rolled into him and dragged him about 50 feet down on an East County street.
Officers spotted the stolen 1995 Honda Prelude heading west in the 7700 of Parkway Drive in La Mesa about 3:30 a.m. and began tailing it, according to police.
A short time later, the driver -- a dark-haired man of about 25, wearing jeans and a gray sweat shirt -- turned onto Maryland Avenue, pulled to a stop and jumped out of the car near Guessman Avenue, Capt. David Bond said.
As the suspect ran off to the south into a residential area with officers giving chase, LMPD Sgt. Bret Richards got out of his cruiser and began setting up a perimeter and preparing to coordinate a search. Unbeknownst to Richards, meanwhile, the abandoned stolen sedan began to roll backward.
The Prelude struck the sergeant as he stood in the street, then pulled him down the street until he was able to push himself clear of it.
Medics took Richards to Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, where he was treated for scrapes and bruises and released later in the morning, Bond said.
Officers from several area police agencies searched the area along with sheriff's deputies for about four hours but were unable to locate the unidentified suspect.
THIS IS A STORY UPDATE. For an earlier version, read below.
LA MESA (CBS 8) - A police officer is hurt during the pursuit of a stolen car in the La Mesa area early Wednesday morning.
Officers started following the Honda Prelude, which had been reported stolen, at about 3:30 a.m. on Parkway Drive.
After a brief chase, the driver bailed out of the car and took off near Guessman Avenue and Maryland Avenue.
After getting out of the car, the suspect left the vehicle running and it rolled backwards and hit a sergeant, nearly running him over. He was transported to a hospital with minor injuries.
The search was underway in a La Mesa neighborhood near Maryland Avenue and Guessman Avenue. Residents were warned Wednesday morning not to open their doors if they heard anyone knocking.
The suspect is described as a light-skinned, Hispanic man in his 20s, last seen wearing blue jeans and a dark colored shirt.
If you have any information, you're asked to call the La Mesa Police Department.

Pioneer senior quarterback Mitchell Williams knew this could be a special season for the Panthers, who are a perennial small-school power in football.
"My grade has always talked about winning state," Williams said, "and now I can't be there for them.
"I just feel so bad."
Williams had surgery Wednesday to repair a broken and dislocated left wrist on his non-throwing hand and will miss the rest of the football season.
"The doctor said it was 25 percent displaced," Williams said.
A dislocated wrist can be a dangerous injury and Williams said it could have been worse. He said the doctors told him he will be able to return to athletics in 2-3 months.
He's also a key starter on Pioneer's three-time defending sectional champion boys basketball team. He hopes to return to the court by mid-December.
"I'm going to miss the first couple games," he said. "I think we should make a deep tournament run."
Williams' break in his wrist was along the growth plate. He said he's grown quite a bit in recent years and is now 6-foot-4, 165 pounds.
Williams also started in the secondary for the Pioneer football team. He said he was making a tackle on defense when he got injured during friendly fire.
"I was going to tackle a guy on defense and wrapped him up, and Stephen Whitlock came over to help me," he said. "His shoulder pads went straight into my wrist and dislocated it and fractured it. I thought at first it was a bad stinger because it was so cold out. Then I looked down at my fingers and could tell it didn't look right."
Williams said following the surgery, his wrist was too swollen to be put in a cast until next Monday. He said his doctor said not to return to school until Tuesday, but that he plans on attending Friday's big game at Class A No. 8 West Central (8-0) as a fan. Pioneer (7-1) is ranked fourth and is working on a 46-game Midwest Conference winning streak.

Google redefining UI among its devices (Android, Glass, TV)
So I brought this up in this discussion thread yesterday :http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/8/4077904/googles-motorola-to-lay-off-a-further-10-percent-of-its-workforce#
And it turns out it's actually coming to fruition: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/03/google-files-a-patent-for-backside-controls-on-future-android-devices/
Besides the possibilities this presents for an android smartphone, I think this also clears up a lot of speculation about Glass, Google T.V, and the Chromebook pixel.
Google is working on a unified UI so that all your devices can work harmoniously, with controls that enhance one another. The example that I thought of first was Glass interaction through your handheld device (instead of through voice commands, or awkward glass swipes), but the potential for your android device to serve as a unified controller for your Google t.v., a chromebook (place it on a charging mat and use it as a mouse), or even other other android powered devices (think home automation).
It's pretty much going to be your android device being the controller that will make you feel like you have super powers. It's alike Gabe's vision for steambox controllers :http://www.polygon.com/2013/1/8/3852852/gabe-newell-interview-steam-box
""The problem to solve is how to interact with a web browser, how to get all the games to support controllers, and how to make it all seamless," he said."
Google is clearly solving this problem by enhancing device hardware with the upcoming X phone, and streamlining the UI across any android device.

NTU Joins Coalition in Opposition to H.R. 1959, the Domestic Alternative Fuels Act of 2013.
June 26, 2013
To Members of the United States Congress:
The undersigned organizations urge you to oppose H.R. 1959, the Domestic Alternative Fuels Act of 2013. The bill would allow ethanol derived from natural gas to count toward the mandatory blending targets established by the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the EPA's implementing regulations.
We commend Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) and his co-sponsors for seeking to break the corn lobby's legal monopoly on a significant and growing share of the U.S. motor fuel market. However, the solution is not to make the RFS more inclusive, so that more special interests profit at consumer expense, but to dismantle the program.
The RFS has produced severe unintended (although far from unpredictable) consequences, including higher food prices, more pain at the gas pump, and a rapidly approaching "blend wall" that could dramatically increase fuel-price volatility.
Any reduction in grain prices due to the substitution of gas for corn as an ethanol feedstock would likely be short-lived, due to H.R. 1959's effect on the political economy of the RFS program. Enactment would align the natural gas lobby with the corn lobby. Their common interest would be to increase the overall RFS blending target beyond 36 billion gallons, mandate the sale of E20 and higher, and relax environmental criteria so corn- and gas-based ethanol can fill the void created by non-existent advanced biofuels.
Natural gas has no need of special privileges to flourish in the motor fuel market, as two articles in the June 20, 2013 Wall Street Journal clearly show. Worldwide, gas demand in road transport increased tenfold from 2000 to 2010. The International Energy Agency expects gas in road and maritime transport to "do more to reduce the medium-term growth in oil demand than both biofuels and electric cars combined." This spring Cummins released two new long-haul truck engines that run on gas rather than diesel. The company developed the engines "without a penny of government support."
We applaud the shale revolution and support the freedom of gas producers to export their product. However, the appropriate cure for a market-rigging scheme like the RFS is repeal, not giving other industries a share of the spoils.
Creating a new class of privileged RFS beneficiaries would only further entrench the program. Congress should eliminate the RFS, not invite its expansion.

This isn't a real post, it's half a post. It's another one I redrafted several times, but I kept lapsing into serious rants about self-image. In short, this is really just a follow-up to the previous post, about getting a compliment during a note passing incident with a strange man, and feeling very anxious about a post I had written (about me feeling anxious about writing).
Firstly, I can't cope with compliments. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't really know how to react. My brain gets a Windows error. Then I freeze up. Then this happens:
I also said, y'know, that no one had ever said… that particular thing to me before. Which, wasn't strictly true. My point was, it sounded completely alien. Seriously, like klingon or something. It's not a word I would use to describe myself… I mean, not that many people would (except maybe narcissists. And Christina Aguilera), but in my case it really clashes with my haphazard personality. I spend my days sitting at my desk in joggers or lurking in coffee shops wearing ripped jeans and Chuck Taylors with gaping holes in them. This reality makes compliments like that hard to take. Also, I have an extensive catalogue of disparaging comments that stretches waaaaay back into those dark days of 'high school', which contribute to my general deflection of compliments.
I'm beginning to wonder if insults stock-pile in the psyche. Maybe they're like a worm virus: one negative comment sinks in, replicates itself and then forwards itself to… everyone in your address book… (Okay, maybe I didn't think this metaphor through properly). What I'm trying to say is, maybe the damage control of negative comments is difficult to manage – much like that of a worm virus. You think you've sorted the problem and then months later, it will reappear and wreak havoc all over again and you become super-infected by negativity. Unless, of course, your psyche runs on Mac OS X.
In which case, my psyche got infected during my teens. Puberty wasn't kind to me. My nose went from being one of those cute-button-noses to looking like it was broken (but it wasn't). In addition, I had goofy teeth and it was only when puberty hit that I got landed with the hellish years of orthodontic treatment. My skin mutated into hideousness and my eyebrows, for some reason, grew seriously out of control (they rivalled Madonna's in the 80s). In a time before GHD straighteners, my hair transformed from long, blonde adorableness to a frizz-tastic, static nightmare, which seemed to take on a life of its own – reaching forth from my head and attaching itself to the polyester v-neck jumpers worn by everybody in the school. On top of this uncomfortable set of changes, I was at an age where suddenly fashion and style were important. And I didn't have a clue about either (I still don't).
Here's a run-down of a few high school incidents that readily spring to mind:
- One day, a popular girl marched up to me (popular entourage in tow) and asked me HOW ON EARTH I could wear blue socks with black shoes. I was stumped for a response, mainly because I hadn't even realised the error of my ways. Looking down at my shoes, I flushed with red trying to think of something to say. Eventually, I uttered: 'It's a free country…' a popular response in the mid-nineties as it was applicable to almost anything. Sadly, its applicability did not stop it from being super-lame. The girl snarled and stomped away with a herd of her fashioncentric friends, as if my mismatching socks and shoes had somehow been a personal attack on her.
- Once, during an English class, we had to play a description game, where someone had to guess which person in the class was being described to them. My classmates described me as: 'She's got blonde hair, and big teeth'. Bingo. The boy who was guessing (who I also happened to have a pretty big crush on, at the time) instantly pointed (that's right pointed, without actually saying anything) at the girl in the back corner. Me. Blondie big teeth.
- In a drama class, we had to improvise an argument with another person. My drama teacher reiterated (several times) that the argument was to be purely fictitious and we were not to make personal digs at each other. My partner shrugged at me and murmured: 'You got a big nose'. AND THEN DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ELSE.
- A boy I was going out with, broke up with me because every time he saw me, it made him feel physically sick. (True story).
It's a fact of life that high school is hell for the under-confident. I think the fourteen-year-old me is the one who hears compliments, and they're just so hard to believe in and amongst the hundreds of big nose/big hair/big teeth insults. I feel like I'm being lied to. This is partially due to my school days, but mainly down to watching way too many American high school movies in which the "unattractive" girl is dated by a cool jock in order to win a bet.
For the record, I still don't understand fashion. And sometimes I still wear inappropriately coloured socks with black shoes. Sometimes I wear socks that don't even match each other. With holes in them (take that, girl from high school!). Sometimes, I'll get up and I won't even change out of my pyjamas – which are fleecy and pink and covered in little cakes. Sure, you can call me beautiful but you haven't seen me eat cold, leftover bolognaise direct from the fridge. At four in the afternoon. Wearing fleecy pink cake pyjamas. Using only my hands (take that, boy I used to go out with!).
This post doesn't really have any sort of conclusion. Except that high school was hell, and compliments make me uncomfortable. But I think I said that at the beginning.
So, moving on… Here's a little follow up about my anxious feelings of writerliness (that's totally a word). A few things have happened over this past week to settle the nerves. One of them was watching Elizabeth Gilbert talk about creativity, which I found kind of beautiful (take that, compliment guy with red biro!) and inspiring.
Anyway, next time, a proper post. Promise.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 14, 2008) – The U.S. Sitting Women's Volleyball Team won the silver medal at the 2008 Paralympic Games on Sunday after falling to defending champion China in the final match, 25-14, 25-19, 25-15, before 5,500 spectators at the China Agricultural University Gymnasium in Beijing.
The U.S. Sitting Women finish the Paralympics with a record of 3-2, with their only other loss coming to China in pool play. Gold medalist China, which did not lose a set in the competition, is 5-0. Netherlands defeated Slovenia, 25-17, 25-16, 26-24, in the bronze medal match.
"It wasn't the match we wanted to play," said Lora Webster (Cave Creek, Ariz.). "But we worked extremely hard to get here and there is still nothing like having a medal hang around your neck."
Katie Holloway (Lake Stevens, Wash.) led the United States with eight points on five kills, two blocks and one ace. Webster added six points on four kills, one block and one ace. Brenda Maymon (Sellersberg, Ind.) tallied five points on three kills and two blocks.
Heather Erickson (Fayetteville, N.C.) scored four points, including two aces. Gina McWilliams (The Colony, Texas), Allison Aldrich (Schuyler, Neb.) and Kendra Lancaster (Westfield, Ind.) each scored two points. McWilliams' points both came on blocks. Nicole Millage (Champaign, Ill.) had one point.
Kari Miller (Washington, D.C.) was the United States' designated libero.U.S. Head Coach Mike Hulett started Aldrich, Webster, Erickson, Maymon, Holloway and Lancaster. Millage substituted in all three sets. McWilliams came in as a substitute in the second set and started the third for Lancaster.
China's Yuhong Sheng led all scorers with 28 points on 22kills and six aces. Lijun Zhang added 12 points, including on two kills, four blocks and five aces.
China completed 33 kills on 76 attempts while the United States had 19 on 86 tries. China had 11 aces as opposed to the United States' four. Team USA had seven blocks while China had eight. China also took advantage of 23 U.S. team errors while committing only 18.
The United States scored the first point of the first set with a powerful kill by Maymon. The set remained close and after the first technical timeout the score was tied at eight. China then began to pull away. Team USA marched back until China called a timeout with the U.S. sitting women trailing by two (14-12). After the timeout, Team USA managed only two more points in the set. The United States committed 13 hitting errors in the first set and struggled to keep the ball in play with their serves.
The teams played evenly to open the second set and the U.S. took a 7-5 lead. China responded with a 6-0 run and the United States could not regain form.
The teams were tied 3-3 to open the third set when China came on with strong hits and fast movement; ready to claim its gold medal. With China leading 21-15, it scored four unanswered points to finish the set and match.
"Playing the former gold medal team in their home country – that is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Assistant Coach Denise Van deWalle (Bowling Green, Ohio) said. "We have improved a lot and we've come so far but we were simply out-played today. It was just not our day."
"I wanted to win so badly," a tearful Erickson said. "I think that we didn't execute our plan and we had a lot of unforced errors. But I am going to keep playing and hopefully come back in four years and beat them."

Quitman - An autopsy shows a Quitman man who died after being tased by a police officer suffered a broken back during the struggle.
We just got our hands on some of the autopsy results for 59-year-old Samuel Baker.
He died October 1st shortly after an officer used a taser on him outside a convenience store in downtown Quitman.
Autopsy results show Baker died of a cervical spinal cord injury due to a spine facture that happened when he fell during the altercation with the police officer.
An enlarged heart due to hypertension also played a role in his death.
Investigators say the report will be finalized Friday and then sent on to the District Attorney who will choose whether to press charges against anyone involved in the incident.

On Saturday night, Woodbine Racetrack hosted all twelve of the Breeders Crown championship races for all the divisions of trotters and pacers. Rains all day stopped in time for the races, although it was quite cold at about 45 degrees, with a track rated good. Each race was carded at the standard 1 mile distance, two turns around the 7/8 mile track.
Tim Tetrick became the first driver to win four Breeders Crown races on one card. In addition, driver Yannick Gingras won three races and trainer Linda Toscano won two.
The Breeders Crown got underway Saturday at Woodbine Racetrack with a stirring half-length victory by 9-1 Tamla Celeber S and catch driver Brian Sears in the $250,000 Open Mare Pace. After 9-10 favorite Frenchfrysnvinegar took the lead through a half in 27 seconds and 3/4 in 56 1/5, Sears moved Tamla Celeber S to the outside for room. After 7/8 in 1:40 3/5, Tamla Celeber S took over the lead for good, outfinishing the favorite in 1:55 2/5. It was another length back to 30-1 longshot Mystical Starlight third.
Driver Brian Sears said, "I didn't really know what to expect, but they thought pretty highly of the (mare). I was able to get her somewhat into the race from the 10-hole, I ended up third or fourth over, and she really responded. She's a very nice filly. There is some wind playing a little bit out there. When horses get used in the wind, they kind of know it. The trip worked out good and she fired home strong."

Extremely Desapponted with Doctor Golshani -Beverly Hills, CA
I feel extremely disappointed with the two procedures that doctor Golshani did on me, the most previous one was last October. After the first procedure I was told to wait for him to complete his new surgery clinic and that after he could remove the bump above my right eye. He told me several... READ MORE

The U.S. Postal Service is offering a $15,000 reward leading to an arrest in the case of threatening letters received earlier this month in Laurens County.
State authorities announced the reward Tuesday morning during a press conference at the Clinton Public Safety Department.
More than half a dozen agencies on the local, state, and federal level are now working the case.
Two pictures of the envelopes received by the Clinton Public Safety Department and Presbyterian College were also shown. Right now, the scribbled handwriting appears to have come from the same person, according to SLED Spokesman Thom Berry. US Postal Inspector team leader Steven Stebbins says all four letters sent to Laurens District 55 and 56, Clinton Public Safety, and the college were mailed from the Upstate. They were handled through the regional processing center in Greenville.
Berry says scientists at SLED's state lab are still analyzing the letters, and looking at fingerprints, DNA, and details of the handwriting. "We hope this person is getting the message that we're here and we're closing in. We're not going to stop our efforts."
Posted: March 8, 2013 at 4:53 p.m.
Law enforcement officials tell 7 On Your Side, four letters of a threatening nature have been received in Laurens County.
Officials in Laurens County School Districts 55 and 56, Presbyterian College, and even the Clinton Department of Public Safety received the letters.
Director Robin Morse, says they've called in the State Law Enforcement Division for extra manpower and resources.
As a parent himself, safety is his number one priority.
"I have a child in Laurens High School and I feel very comfortable with him being here today," said Morse of the safety in place at area schools Friday.
A tip line has been set up for anyone with information. It is 864-200-4565.
Laurens County Sheriff Ricky Chastain says these mailed-in threats are rare.
"Something like this, I can't recollect, actually happening," Chastain explained.
The letters are now at the State Law Enforcement Division lab in Columbia for further testing.
"Anything from fingerprints to dna to a lot of other things," explained Chastain about what investigators are looking for. "They have specialists that can look at that and hopefully come up with some kind of clues or answers as to who may possible be behind this."
Catherine Ryan, Executive Director of Marketing at Presbyterian College, tells 7 On Your Side the school administration was informed Friday morning that they received a letter of a threat to the school.
The letter was turned over to Clinton Dept of Public Safety and the State Law Enforcement Division.
Students are on spring break this week, but faculty, staff and students have been informed of the threat.
The college released this statement Friday from Catherine Ryan, Executive Director of Marketing :
"Presbyterian College confirms that it has received a letter about a potential security risk to campus. The College's leadership was made aware of the letter on Friday morning and is currently working with local police and SLED to ensure our students, faculty, and staff remain out of harm's way. We are not able to release the details of the letter at this time. Presbyterian College is offering full support and cooperation to the Clinton Police Department and to SLED as they continue to investigate this situation.
All Presbyterian College classes and campus activities are continuing as planned, but faculty, staff, and students have been encouraged to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities."
District 56 received a letter early in the day Thursday which prompted the district to put all schools on a level one lockdown. This lockdown means all doors to the school are locked. District 55 opened a similar letter late in the day on Thursday.
Morse says they are checking with other area school districts to see if they have received any letters like this.
The police department can not reveal the specifics of the threat. SLED is assisting in the investigation.
Both school districts released statements to the media.
From Laurens County School District 56 Superintendent David O'Shields, PhD. :
"The District received a threatening letter from an unknown source in today's mail. We immediately reported the matter to law enforcement, and, at this time, both local and state law enforcement agencies are investigating the matter.
The safety of our students and staff is of the utmost importance to us, and we will continue to work cooperatively with law enforcement until this matter is resolved. In the meantime, additional safety precautions will be taken to protect our students and staff.
Please understand that there may be some changes in your child's school procedures, such as afternoon dismissal, while this matter is being investigated. For security reasons, we are not at liberty to disclose the specifics of the letter or the action that the District is taking in response to it.
With the permission of law enforcement, we will advise the public of more details regarding this matter at the appropriate time. We appreciate the community's patience and cooperation as we deal with this matter."
From Laurens School District 56 Superintendent Dr. Billy R. Strickland:
"Laurens County School District 55 personnel received a potential security threat Thursday evening after school. Because school safety is of highest priority, all possible security threats are taken seriously and are investigated.
At this time District 55 is working with Sheriff Ricky Chastain, Interim Chief Chrissie Cofield, the Clinton Department of Public Safety, SLED, and Laurens County School District 56."

Announcing the Winners of the Cartoonist Studio Prize.
Here's to the best graphic novel and Web comic of 2012.
Guest judge: New Yorker art editor and TOON Books publisher, Françoise Mouly.
The winner of the Cartoonist Studio Prize for Best Graphic Novel of the Year is Chris Ware, forBuilding Stories. This massive cartoon epic—made up of 14 books, pamphlets, and broadsheets—is a feat of ambitious storytelling that doesn't shy away from the microscopically detailed character study that has set Ware's work apart his entire career.
The winner of the Cartoonist Studio Prize for Best Web Comic of the Year is Noelle Stevenson, for Nimona. This twice-weekly series about a medieval supervillain who takes on an irritating sidekick is funny and vibrant, with wonderful energy in Stevenson's illustrations and a wicked wit in her storytelling. In recent weeks the story has been expanding surprisingly into a kind of deadpan epic, which suggests the comic has a long way to go before it's done.

Louboutin Hopes to Stomp Out Rival's Red-Soled Shoes with Trademark Suit
Posted Apr 8, 2011 11:05 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Christian Louboutin is standing up to Yves Saint Laurent with a suit contending its rival violated its trademark by selling red-soled shoes.
Louboutin introduced red-soled shoes in 1992 and obtained a trademark for the sassy soles in 2008, Bloomberg News reports. The designer's "first conception of this idea occurred when he painted red nail polish on the black soles of a pair of women's shoes," the complaint alleges.
The suit filed in Manhattan federal court claims Yves Saint Laurent is selling "virtually identical" shoes by the names Tribute, Tribtoo, Palais and Woodstock, the New York Post says. Louboutins are worn by "glamorous celebrities" such as Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Beyonce, the suit says, and were featured in Sex and the City.
If you want to buy a pair of red-sole shoes made by Christian Louboutin, you will have to pay as much as $3,200, the Post reports. Bloomberg found the shoes at Barneys at prices ranging from $445 to $4,000. If you want a pair of red-sole made by Yves Saint Laurent, you can get them for $600 to $800.

At first glance, the latest Shepard Fairey T-shirt design might be offensive to some, as it prominently features a handgun with a sign that reads, "2nd Amendment Solutions" with an arrow pointed at the trigger.
In fact, this shirt is meant to convey an anti-gun-violence message. Beneath the gun, a fine print says, "It is not the bullet with my name on it that worries me. It's the one that says 'To whom it may concern.' "

WeW, you should say "incontrovertible" for undeniable, something you cannot argue against.
I hope you practice your English with us. Your ideas are good. You just need more practice---then you will be indistinguishable from a native English-speaker.
Also the words "to" and "too" are different. They sound the same but mean different things.
"to" forms the infinitive and also expresses motion towards. I go to school. I want to learn.
"too" expresses the idea of "in addition" "more of the same added on" and sometimes "excess" (like "too much" is more than you need or want).
I will practice English and quite frankly' I did not know the difference between "to" and "too" so thank you for clearing that out.
Quote by
WeW why don't you ask two separate questions both restricted to LIFE IN OUR GALAXY? Restricting the question just to our galaxy makes it more practical to address.
A. is there some other life in our milkyway galaxy?
B. is there some other life in our galaxy that builds radios?
It is more practical to address questions like this, because we know how many stars, we know what they are like (numbers of different types of stars) we have a sample of planetary systems. We have rough estimates of planets with liquid water etc etc. IN OUR GALAXY limits the numbers so you are more able to calculate probabilities.
It is also more practical because there are more real decisions to make based on the information, if it becomes available.
Life in a distant galaxy 100 million lightyears away we don't have to take seriously. Sure there might be. But we could never hold a radio conversation, or send a robot visitor to them. It is an abstract question whether there is some radio-able life in a distant galaxy.
Probably there is, but so what? The information has no practical consequences and is not very easy to test.
I totally agree with you Marcus. The question about life in our galaxy or a nearby galaxy would definitely be the most relevant question to impose given that the data we have on those galaxy's is of course more reliable than galaxy's we have little or no data off.
Quote by
I mostly agree. When you look at the simply enormous scale of the universe it seems almost silly that there isn't any other life out there.
I of course agree with you Drakkith.
Quote by
More to the point, it is not merely
, it is virtually
. You might as well go looking for God.
Yes there could be anything, something or nothing we simply do not know and probably we'll never figure it out. So all that's left is "empty" guessing.

LEWISTON — First-term Republican state Sen. Garrett Mason appears to have fended off his Democratic challenger by 33 votes, winning a second term in the Maine Senate.
Unofficial results had Quint leading by 77 votes early Wednesday morning, but Wales' Deputy Clerk Sharon Siegel confirmed Thursday that Mason won the town with 457 votes to Quint's 329.
A typographical error in the transcription of the results gave the win to Quint.
What was most stunning, Siegel said, was that 63 Wales voters left their ballots blank on that race.
"It's not the first time we've heard that (it came down to Wales)," Siegel said.
While Mason was claiming victory, Quint said she had asked for a recount.
She said out of more than 19,000 votes cast, the margin for Mason was less than two-tenths of 1 percent. "So, an incredibly small margin, but that's the count," Quint said. "So we have asked for a recount."
Some news reports, including a brief report in the Sun Journal on Thursday, showed Quint as the winner.
Mason said he went to bed early Wednesday morning thinking he had lost the race.
"So it feels pretty good and it just really shows how every single vote really counts," he said Thursday.

Message from our Treasurer
It is with great pride and honor
we are able to announce that we have made $378,200 total revenue for Pink Tie Friends for the 42 patients we have helped in 2010.
We were involved in 48 events last year which generated a large amount of NEW community support for both our financial stability and patient program.
We would like to think that Nancy O'Neill's legacy and vision has superseded her expectations as we have grown from supporting patients in only one county to supporting patients in three counties and we look forward to growing within the next two years to four counties and "THEN THE STATE."
We would like to thank ALL of our volunteers to reach into their hearts and soul to reaffirm, or even increase, their commitment to our ever-flourishing organization. "Breast cancer waits for no one."
In 2010, we established committees for the first time and learned from this plan and will revise and expand our infrastructure for committees in 2011.
With our sound financial footing in place, we continue to expand our internal controls and focus on our MISSION: "Patients," policies, procedure, follow up, and long-term "good will."
Thank you from your Treasurer
