You could capture a conventional mammogram and breast tomosynthesis mammogram in the same compression?
You could pinpoint lesions with clarity never before possible?
You could better visualize breast masses, distortions and asymmetric densities?
You could transform your breast cancer screening services with breast tomosynthesis?
The Selenia Dimensions systems allows you to harness the power and promise of breast tomosynthesis. Selenia Dimensions tomosynthesis technology is having a significantly positive impact on breast cancer screening and diagnosis by helping to find cancers earlier or to find cancers that may be missed with 2D mammography alone.1
The Olso screening trial reported that Selenia Dimensions breast tomosynthesis plus digital mammography provided a 27% improvement in cancer detection rates, with 40% increase in invasive cancer detection.1
Hologic's tomosynthesis technology also gives radiologist more confidence to reduce recall rates. Many sites using Selenia Dimensions breast tomosynthesis reported a 20-40 percent reduction in recall rates using Selenia Dimensions breast tomosynthesis and digital mammography rather than digital mammography alone.2-3.
The Selenia Dimensions tomosynthesis system is a breakthrough technology with award winning technology, design and service. Learn more about this celebrated mammography platform.Learn more >

Selmer, McNairy County (AP) - Investigators said Monday it will take time to figure out exactly why a drag-racing car lost control, spinning into a crowd of spectators and killing six people.
"We'll look at everything, including the driver and the actual car itself, and everything surrounding the venue," said Mike Browning, spokesman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
The six victims were in their teens and early 20s, Browning said. Saturday's wreck injured at least 20 others, including a 5-year-old boy, who were taken to hospitals in Tennessee and Mississippi.
The crash occurred at a Cars for Kids charity show, which has been an annual event in this small town 80 miles east of Memphis for 18 years. The drivers always do crowd-pleasing burnouts - spinning the tires to make them heat up and smoke - at the end of the parade.
Amateur video of the crash, broadcast on WMC-TV in Memphis, showed the car's engine revving loudly before the vehicle sped down the highway. After a few hundred feet, the smoking car skidded off the road and into the crowd.
"It's been a safe event until this year," Police Chief Neal Burks said Monday.
The driver was pro drag racer Troy Warren Critchley, an Australian drag racer now based in Wylie, Texas. He suffered minor injuries and was taken by car to a hospital, authorities said.
David Mitchell, the state Department of Safety commissioner, said the driver and his crew have been interviewed and were cooperative.
District Attorney General Mike Dunavant said Monday that he had not decided whether to bring criminal charges, but that it was still a possibility.
Witnesses have questioned the decision to let the driver speed down a highway with no guard rails, lined on both sides by hundreds of spectators.
"It ain't really safe to do anything with drag cars on a city street," said 19-year-old Garett Moore, who said he was about 15 feet away from the wreck, but was uninjured. "They shouldn't have done it."
There was a short guard rail along part of the highway, but not along the stretch where the crash occurred.
Nick Staples, who was at the event with his wife and three children, said he was standing 20 feet from where the car plowed into the audience.
"There should have been guard rails," Staples said. "But even if there had been, it wouldn't have mattered."
Mourners placed small votive candles, flowers, teddy bears and a ceramic angel at the crash site, located along state Highway 64 near the intersection with Highway 45.
The Highway Patrol said Raven Griswell, 15, of Finger, and Sean Michael Driskill, 22, of Adamsville, died at the scene. Four others - Brook L. Pope, 20, of Selmer; Scarlett Replogle, 15, of Selmer;Kimberly A. Barfield, 17, of Adamsville; and Nicole Griswell, 19, of Selmer, died in hospitals.
Authorities closed the festival after the crash.
Cars for Kids holds several events throughout the nation and raises close to $200,000 annually for charities that help children in need, according to its Web site.
The charity was formed in 1990, two years after founder Larry Price's son, Chad, suffered a severe head injury in a bicycle accident. Price promised that if his son was saved from lifelong injuries, he would spend the rest of his life raising funds for disabled children, according to the Web site.
Price said he hoped to keep the charity going, but he wouldn't do any more burnouts on public streets.

Iowa Incentives and Workforce Development Guide
The updated Iowa incentives guide is brought to you by Real Street Expo, a new event sponsored by Business Facilities and Today's Facility Manager magazines.
For a list of Iowa economic development agencies that can help with the site selection process, visit our Online Site Seekers' Guide.
- High Quality Jobs Program (HQJP) :
- The state's premier financial assistance program designed to support innovation and job growth. The program provides both direct financial assistance to companies in the form of loans and/or forgivable loans and tax credits. To qualify for this very flexible assistance package that includes loans/forgivable loans, tax credits, exemptions and/or refunds, a business must be a non-retail or non-service business. Actual award amounts will be based on the business' level of need; the quality of the jobs; the percentage of created or retained jobs defined as high quality; and the economic impact of the project. Created jobs must pay at least 100% of the qualifying wage threshold at the start of the project and 120% of the qualifying wage threshold by project completion and through the project maintenance period. Retained jobs must pay at least 120% of the qualifying wage threshold throughout the project completion and maintenance periods. The business must provide a sufficient benefits package to all full time employees.
- Demonstration Fund :
- Provides financial awards up to $150,000 to encourage commercialization activities by small and medium-sized Iowa companies in the advanced manufacturing, biosciences, and information technology industries. The fund is designed to encourage product refinements, market planning and market entry activities of unique products to foster competitive, profitable companies that create high paying jobs and wealth in Iowa.
- Export Trade Assistance :
- The International Office at the Iowa Economic Development Authority offers financial assistance to eligible Iowa small companies to help companies market their products and services to a global audience. The Export Trade Assistance Program (ETAP) Program may reimburse Iowa companies for up to 75% of its international marketing expenditures in a qualifying trade show or IEDA trade mission held outside the U.S., to explore new markets or provide support to expand current markets.
- Iowa Capital Access Program (ICAP) :
- Assists Iowa businesses in securing the financing they need to launch, retain or expand business operations in Iowa. ICAP encourages banks and other eligible financial institutions to consider small business loans that fall outside of conventional underwriting criteria by providing loan portfolio insurance to reduce lender risk and help businesses retain and create jobs for Iowans. IEDA has contracted with Iowa Business Growth Company (IBGC) to administer ICAP. Eligible loans include real estate, construction, equipment and working capital loans and term loans and lines of credit up to $500,000.
- Borrowers: Any for-profit or non-profit business located in the state of Iowa with fewer than 500 employees.
- Lenders: Eligible lenders include federally insured banks, credit unions, and community development financial institutions.
- Iowa Innovation Acceleration Fund :
- Promotes the formation and growth of businesses that engage in the transfer of technology into competitive, profitable companies that create high paying jobs. The funds are designed to support commercializing research, launching new start-ups and accelerating private investment and industrial expansion efforts that result in significant capital investment. The fund provides financing to eligible businesses through three program components that correspond to three different stages of growth for investment-grade, high-growth enterprises.
Tax Incentives
- Assistive Device Tax Credit :
- An assistive device is any item, piece of equipment or product system that is used to increase, maintain or improve the functional capabilities of an individual with a disability in the workplace or on the job. To qualify for the Tax Credit, a business must be located in Iowa, employ 14 or fewer full time employees OR have$3 million dollars or less in gross annual receipts. The credit applies to expenditures made on or after January 1, 2000, and equals one-half of the first $5,000 in qualifying expenses each tax year. Excess credits can be refunded or carried over to the next tax year.
- Brownfield/Grayfield Tax Credit Program :
- Offers qualifying projects tax credits of up to 24% for qualifying costs of a Brownfield project and 30% if the project meets green building requirements. "Grayfield" is also included in the tax credit program. A Grayfield project can receive tax credits of up to 12% of qualifying costs and 15% if the project meets green building requirements. Tax credits are available on a first come first served basis, with a maximum tax credit per project of $500,000 and a$5,000,000 maximum for each fiscal year. An audit of qualifying expenses from an independent Iowa certified public accountant is required prior to issuance of all tax credit certificates.
- Enterprise Zones :
- Through state and local tax incentives, businesses and developers are encouraged to make new investments, and create or retain jobs in economically distressed areas in Iowa. The goal of the program is to revitalize these areas and make them competitive with other locations throughout the state. An incentive for housing development may also be available to developers and contractors building or rehabilitating housing in an established enterprise zone.
- New Jobs Tax Credit :
- An Iowa corporate income tax credit available to a company that has entered into a New Jobs Training Agreement (260E) and expands their Iowa employment base by 10% or more. The amount of this one-time tax credit will depend upon the wages a company pays and the year in which the tax credit is first claimed. Unused credits may be carried forward up to 10 years. The tax credit may be claimed on Form IA 133 found on the Iowa Department of Revenue Web site.
- Research Activities Tax Credit :
- Iowa is one of very few states to have continuously offered this refundable tax credit for increasing a company's research activities. A company must meet the qualifications of the Federal Research Activities Credit in order to be eligible for the credit in Iowa. For companies qualifying for either the High Quality Jobs Program or the Enterprise Zone program, there is possible supplemental credit of 3% if gross revenues are over $20 million or 10% if gross revenues are under $20 million.
- Targeted Jobs Withholding Tax Credit :
- Enacted in 2006, it allows the diversion of withholding funds paid by an employer to be matched by a designated "pilot" city to create economic incentives that can be directed toward the growth and expansion of targeted businesses located within Urban Renewal areas. An approved "pilot" city may enter into a withholding agreement:
- with a business that is locating to its community from another state and is creating targeted jobs within an urban renewal area; or
- an existing Iowa business that is creating 10 new targeted jobs or makes a qualifying investment of $500,000 within an urban renewal area.
Investor Tax Credits
- Endow Iowa :
- Administered by the Iowa Economic Development Authority, it was created to enhance the quality of life for Iowa citizens through increased philanthropic activity by encouraging new investments to existing community foundations and facilitating the creation of new community foundations. The major component of the program is a state tax credit equal to 25% of a qualifying gift to a community foundation. The gift must be to an endowment fund within the qualified foundation or community affiliate organization. The tax credits can be claimed by individuals, businesses or financial institutions.
- Iowa Community Based Seed Funds :
- A Community Based Seed Fund is a group of individuals pooling their money to create a fund that will invest in start-up or early stage companies. A fund may choose to invest only in local projects. However, they can also "network" for the opportunity to invest in other projects and partner up with other funds in Iowa. The benefit of this arrangement is to leverage investment dollars and provide more opportunities for a greater return on investment. A statewide group of investors is forming an association to share deal flow and due diligence. As a general rule community based seed fund look for a 40% to 50% return on seed and start-up financing, 30% to 40% on second stage financing and 25% to 30% on later stage financing.
- Tax Increment Financing (TIF) :
- Businesses are given the incentive to construct new industrial or commercial facilities by receiving direct benefit from the property tax increase caused by the added value of those new facilities.
How It Works:
- Business constructs new industrial or commercial facility
- New facility increases property tax assessed on the business
- City councils or county board of supervisors may use the additional property tax to:
- Finance direct grants or loans to the business.
- Offset the costs of public improvements or provision of utilities to serve the new private development.
- Provide the local match for federal or state economic development assistance programs.
Workforce Development
To help Iowa companies maintain their competitive edge, the Iowa Economic Development Authority will help develop a workforce and training program to meet the specific needs of a company. By leveraging training resources, filling funding gaps in human resource development initiatives and sponsoring business consortia that address common employment training needs, the skills of Iowa's workers are enhanced, allowing its industries to grow.
- Accelerated Career Education Program (260G) :
- Assists Iowa's community colleges in establishing/expanding programs that train individuals in the occupations most needed by Iowa businesses.
- Community College Business Network Training Program :
- Provides funding assistance to two or more businesses participating in training programs based in one or more community colleges.
- Community College Consortium :
- Provides funding assistance for community college-sponsored employee training projects in which two or more businesses participate.
- Iowa Industrial New Jobs Training Program (260E) :
- Provides no-cost or reduced-cost job training services to new employees of eligible businesses through Iowa's community college system.
- Iowa Jobs Training Program (260F) :
- Provides job training services to current employees of eligible businesses that are located in Iowa.
- Iowa Student Internship Program :
- Links college students from Iowa schools to internship opportunities in small and medium sized firms in the biosciences, advanced manufacturing and information technology industries with the goal of transitioning the interns to full-time employment in the state upon graduation.

Patrick Nominates Esteemed Superior Court Justice Ralph Gants to State's Highest Court
Former Federal Prosecutor, Chief of US Attorney's Public Corruption Division Nominated to Supreme Judicial Court
"Judge Gants brings a powerful combination of strong intellect and real world understanding. He has been a thoughtful and fair member of the Superior Court," said Governor Patrick. "And he is deeply committed to securing the rights and liberties of the citizens of the Commonwealth. He will be an important addition to the SJC."
Judge Gants has served as a justice of the Superior Court since 1997 and since January as the Administrative Justice to the Court's Business Litigation Section. He began his legal career, which spans almost 30 years of public and private service, as a law clerk to the Honorable Eugene H. Nickerson of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Judge Gants then worked in Washington as the Special Assistant to then-FBI Director, Judge William H. Webster, before joining the United States Attorney's Office in Boston. He served as a prosecutor for eight years and became Chief of the office's Public Corruption Division. For six years prior to his nomination to the Superior Court by Governor Weld, Judge Gants was of counsel and then a partner at Palmer & Dodge.
A graduate of Harvard College, summa cum laude, and Harvard Law School, magna cum laude, Judge Gants is a prolific writer and lecturer. He has served for many years as an adjunct professor at Northeastern University School of Law and New England School of Law.
Judge Gants lives in Lexington with his wife, Northeastern University School of Law Professor Deborah Anne Ramirez, and two children.
Judge Gants is the Governor's second nomination to the state's highest court. In 2007, Governor Patrick nominated Justice Margot G. Botsford, also of the Superior Court, to the SJC.

Definitions for dihedral angle
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word dihedral angle
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
dihe′dral an′gle(n.)
the angle between two planes in a dihedron.
Category: Math
dihedral angle(Noun)
The angle between two planes.
Dihedral angle
In geometry, a dihedral or torsion angle is the angle between two planes. The dihedral angle of two planes can be seen by looking at the planes "edge on", i.e., along their line of intersection. The dihedral angle between two planes denoted A and B is the angle between their two normal unit vectors and A dihedral angle can be signed; for example, the dihedral angle can be defined as the angle through which plane A must be rotated to align it with plane B. Thus, . For precision, one should specify the angle or its supplement, since both rotations will cause the planes to coincide. In higher dimension, a dihedral angle represents the angle between two hyperplanes.

They should consider limiting the production to 5 pieces only!
Does this really do anything at all? ANY function besides being, well, ...there?
This is really, pardon my French: retarded.

More proof, as if any was needed, that iPod fanatics have more money than sense. MacMice are just taking a leaf out of Apple's book and screwing you for every penny youve got. But so many pod people are sheep that your all going to buy them anyway and what's up with all the stoopid skins if the ipod is so damn pretty that you all go on about it why buy these covers that make it uglier than a Zen. There are so many add ons for the ipod because companies have figured out if you buy an ipod youll shell out major spondoolooks for more.

i tell you what….im gonna take a big crap on the ground. contact apple to sell the rights and share the profit. i put a big apple logo on it and then put a stainless steel cover around it. then limit it to 5. thats the ticket!

I can imagine a 50 cent fan who bought a pod cos he used one on his video wanting this bling bling.
And I think that's the most positive thing anyone will ever say about this product here.

The cover is made out of 6061-T6 aerospace grade aluminum which does not look like gold in any way. Also:
"After another inspection, the polished billets are then passed through the special nickel alloy plating system we perfected last year, to nicely match the color of the iPod's unique high nickel content stainless steel alloy rear cover."
This must be a very very bad image because if this dock looked identical to the back off an iPod it would be *very* sexy :)

not only is this the epitomy of materialism gone oveboard, but it's not even beautiful .... you can't say that it's useless and beautiful and expensive and therefore it's almost like a work of art…. the thing is more in the vicinity of mostruous butt-ugly abomination…. buy yourself some good music instead ;-)

Yes, Jack Campbell (me) actually has several old felony convictions, and, I happen to love Macs and iPods, as well. And, for grins, I wil invest in some pretty unusual products from time to time, even if they are ridiculously expensive to manufacture.
I have the odd (and apparently unpopular) philosophy that *somebody* should be willing to put low-volume, odd products into the market, so that people will have a wider choice in accessories than if *only* cheap plastic Taiwanese products were available. I do *not* expect large numbers of people to love everything we build, nor to buy everything we build. But, again, I *do* believe that the mass-market ethic of only putting a product out that 10,000 people are expected to purchase cheapens the entire market, and deprives many people of the range of choice they would like to have.
Personally, I like having more choices than fewer. And, being able to look at many approaches to product design helps me better judge in my eventual purchase… even if that judgement includes seeing several items I think are not pleasing to me, or that are over-priced.
I remain surprised at the number of people who seem to think that I (and other higher-price, lower-volume) manufacturers should simply go away… and leave only the narrow range of mass produced products from which to choose.
We launched this as a fun, exotic little doodad for Christmas… nothing more, or less. Our profit is somewhere around $11 each. Short-run CNC machining, polishing, plating, and laser marking is very, very expensive… as is custom packaging for only 200 items.
And, yes, they're already selling pretty well today.
Thanks for all comments!
Posted by Jack Campbell on October 17, 2003 at 5:52 PM (CDT)
HEY MAN.. IN fairness..I had no idea about your convictions.. I still maintain that the thing is crap but it has nothing to do with your past.. To me you seem to have a legit business and I don't question it at all..

From the Colorado Division of Wildlife
-- Big game hunters can now experience Colorado elk hunting by immersing themselves in "Elk Camp Colorado," the latest online video from the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
Filmed in high-definition video and recorded in digital audio, "Elk Camp Colorado" takes viewers deep into Colorado's backcountry. It captures a time-honored big game hunting tradition, the elk camp.
The 12-minute video also provides a wealth of information to assist hunters, including overviews of Colorado's big game hunting regulations and license application process.
"This video is a wonderful tool to help people get started and teach them how to be more successful on hunts," said Tyler Baskfield, Department of Wildlife communications manager. From the haunting bugle of a wild bull elk to the camaraderie shared by friends exchanging hunting stories around a campfire, "Elk Camp Colorado" encompasses the hunt with spectacular fall scenery and wildlife imagery.
The video also introduces viewers to the Natural Diversity Information Source mapping system. Available on the Colorado Division of Wildlife website, the NDIS incorporates statewide hunting statistics, up-to-date Game Management Unit boundaries, USGS maps and other necessary information for big game hunters.
To play "Elk Camp Colorado" and other Division of Wildlife online videos, viewers need high speed internet connections and the latest version of Adobe Flash installed on their computers.
Hunters may view "Elk Camp Colorado" on page 14 of the new 2010 Big Game Regulations e-brochure. The interactive brochure allows readers to access Colorado's big game regulations and supplemental, embedded video content.
Hunters may access the DOW's online brochure at the following link: http://www.flipseekllc.com/coloradodow2010biggame.html

A standoff has developed between Arsenal and Real Madrid over the loan transfer of midfielder Nuri Sahin, the Guardian has reported. Negotiations are set to continue but the disagreement centres around the future of the player once his season-long loan in the Premier League is over.
Arsene Wenger is keen to include a clause that allows the Gunners to sign Sahin permanently at the end of the season but Jose Mourinho is reluctant to sanction such a stipulation, fearful of losing the player if he finds his form between now and May. Madrid are willing to loan Sahin out after he failed to break into Mourinho's XI following his move from Borussia Dortmund a year ago.
Wenger is attempting to plug the gap left in his midfield by the departure of Alex Song to Madrid's fierce rivals Barcelona, although the Guardian points out Sahin is not an identikit replacement for the Cameroonian. Sahin, a Turkey international, is a more technical player than the physical song.

Teenagers love to complain their parents are too critical of marijuana and that little harm can come from smoking pot. However, a new study suggests that teenagers who use marijuana regularly are at greater risk for long-term brain damage and declines in both IQ and cognitive functioning years later.
Daily cannabis use is on the rise among adolescents who are now smoking marijuana at younger ages than ever before, many of them on a daily basis. This rise in marijuana use is caused in part because most teenagers do not believe that smoking marijuana is harmful to their health. However, a new 38 year-long study might make them and their parents think again.
Tracking Teenagers' Marijuana Use Over 25 Years
The new study followed participants from birth till the age of 38. Researchers administered cognitive testing (that measures intellectual abilities such as IQ) at two time periods: when the participants were 13—before they began regular marijuana use, and when they were 38 years-old. Participants' marijuana use was ascertained via interviews at four other time periods as well; when the subjects were 18, 21, 26, and 32 years-old.

text: This is a tough film to watch . . . because it is dealing with a very serious subject . . . the meaning of life itself . . . and since none of us can give a definitive answer to this perennial question, we have to accept that the film-director's vision is a valid one . . . and that somewhere within this jumble of images, music and whispered voice-overs, there is a profound sense of wonder at the mystery of the universe. The film's centre is a boy's experiences growing up in the 50's in mid-western America, and here the film scores highly with its authentic period details and evocation of mood. However plot-wise, the film chafes and irritates instead of involving . .. . The film is indulgent with its sudden digressions into geophysical creation and the evolution of life, and this disrupts the slender narrative i s that is straining to sustain our interest. Originality and iconoclastic cinematography are not enough to make a great movie . . . This is a deeply personal vision and as such is only sporadically accessible to the viewing audience. However, the integrity of the project is never in doubt, and this helps with the longuers. This film took me back to my own fifties childhood, but may well baffle younger generations who have never been told to ` go outside and play`

Law Schools in AustraliaHey guys, sorry if this is a repost, couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Thu Jan 18, 2007 08:20 AM
Basically I've been accepted into UNSW Law, University of Queensland Law, University of Sydney Law, and ANU Law in the graduate Law programme (LLB). I know it's not an LLM but I thought you guys would be best to ask.
Basically, I can't decide which one to go to. I'm leaning toward ANU or University of Sydney. I want to know :
1. Is there a significant difference in curriculum for LLB programmes between these four universities?
2. Does anybody know which is the top ranked law school? I heard from many people it's the University of Sydney, but some others say ANU and others say UNSW.
Any other pertinent information would be really helpful,
Thanks guys,

Law Schools in AustraliaHi Javier,
Fri Jan 26, 2007 12:29 AM
I guess there hasn't been a respond to your post for a week because this is mainly a LLM website. However, I thought I might be able to provide you with some insight as I am currently completing my JD with University of Queensland.
For your first question, I think the curriculum for LLB programmes between these for 4 Universities are highly identical. However, due to the nature of legal studies, different codes/statutes would apply to courses like criminal law etc. There wouldn't be big differences for courses like contracts, constitutional law etc. I guess the only other difference would be some universities requiring dispute management to be completed as a compulsory while some don't as it does not fall into the 'Priestley 11' Core.
The 4 Law Schools you applied to are highly regarded in Australia but i would think that Sydney Law School stands out from the rest - even though University of Melbourne would clearly be better! In my opinion ANU and UNSW would be on-par with each other.
I think another aspect you might want to consider would be whether you learn better in Seminar delivery or Lecture + Tutorial. If I am not wrong Sydney Law School does it Seminar while the Queensland Law School does it Lecture + Tutorial style. You might also want to check which Graduate LLB Program allows you to electives from the Master of Laws courses because it would most certaintly accelerate your LLM studies later on.
Are you an international student? If you are then you might want to consider undertaking a JD since the course fees are only a little more expensive than the undergraduate fees for an LLB (Graduate) - the resulting qualification is the similar but postgraduate.
Drop me a message if you need any additional advice - not sure how useful this is though!

Law Schools in AustraliaGregory, perhaps you misread her request. She asked for the 'top ranked' law school. Yes im an undergrad law student and yes im biased (im currently studying in my second year for a combined law/commerce degree at the ANU). Howerver the fact remains, and as i was informed by both lawyers and academics before commencing my studies, the University of Melbourne and the ANU appear to have a slight edge in the respect that at the present state of affairs they both have the leading legal academics in the country (and this is reflected by both of these universities having such a high international standing). However if it's old-school tradition and presteige, perhaps Sydney University, even though it's not ranked as high as Melb/ANU would suit you more.

Having said that i think that all of the law schools that accepted you have a very high reputation, and perhaps you should lean towards the one you feel will compliment your lifestyle best. Also consider the various electives that each school offers as some schools have strenghts in certain areas. The ANU has specific strenghts in International and environmental law, as well as public and commercial areas of the law. I choose the ANU because of it's beautiful sprawling campus and guaranteed undergrad entry to college. However if you are into old architecture and a larger and more commercial city then Sydney or UNSW would be your first port of call.
It really comes down to personal preferences, good luck

Law Schools in AustraliaHello there,
Fri Feb 23, 2007 05:33 AM
I was reading your questions and the responses given and I thought I might have some helpful information. I am currently a law school student in the United States, but I have studied in Australia as well. I am not familiar with the terms LLM and LLB, but here is my advice to you. In response to determining which school to attend, I can tell you what I did. In the U.S. there are guide books that tell you various information about the law schools you are applying to or that you have been accepted. These books give you information such as the percentage that pass the bar the first time (in the u.s. once you graduate from Law School you have to take the bar, which is a standarized test that you must pass to become American Bar Association certified, which means you are able to practice in many different states). I am not sure the requirements in Australia but if you have something similar, you might want to look at the percentage, the higher the better. The book also contains information about the number of people employed before and after they graduate. You may also want to consider the number of credit hours you are required to take at one time, and the Grade Point average you must maintain at the conclusion of each semester to stay enrolled. In the states the Grade Point average requirements change depending on what year you are in school. My other suggestion is to sit in on a class if possible to see what it is like and talk to students that are currently attending that university. In the states you are not graded on participation in class so you might want to look into that to see if there are requirements for that as well. Check to see if you have a requirement to do an internship or externship before you graduate and if they have resources that help to set you up with one. That is all that I can think of at the moment. I hope that helps. Good Luck

Law Schools in AustraliaIt is prob a bit late to reply to the original post, but in case anyone reads the thread looking for similar advice I thought that I would put in my two pence worth for good measure.
Mon Mar 05, 2007 05:10 PM
I did a BA/LLB at Melbourne just over ten years ago, and have worked as judge's associate/practised/done government policy/legislative drafting ever since, but am now taking a PhD in law in the UK.
In terms of Aussie law schools, from an international (well UK anyway) academic perspective, both Melbourne and ANU stand head and shoulders in terms of overall reputation above all other law schools - including Sydney.
That said, there are no 'bad' law schools in Australia - at least not in the US sense - an LLM from any of them is well respected as each generally has strengths and weaknesses. Indeed, I would say that the most important thing to look at if academic reputation is what you are after are the courses on offer and the academics who teach (eg check out a recent article), because the University doesn't write reference, academics do. If an LLM is a lifestyle choice, well then pick your uni for lifestyle (Melb again is better than Sydney because it is a more interesting city tio live in, the Law School is in a better location and it's a hell of a lot cheaper).
For LLBs, there isn't much difference - in my expereience (having also been on interview panels) choose what state you want to qualify in, and then choose a uni that suits you and where you think that you will do your best: it is much beter to have a solid degree from a less snobby uni than a crap degree from an ivy cladded institution that you hated for three or four years.

Law Schools in AustraliaI'll do the same and give some advice for future students looking to do an LLM in Australia. Locally, the most esteemed law schools are the G8, or, "group of eight". They would be ranked as follows.
Thu Mar 29, 2007 04:26 AM
Tier 1: Australian National University, University of Melbourne
Tier 1(a): University of Sydney, University of New South Wales, University of Queensland (only slightly below tier 1 and brilliant schools).
Tier 2: University of Adelaide, Monash University, University of Western Australia.
Only 2 tiers and very close in terms of quality. However, ANU, Melbourne and Sydney have that prestige factor.
Cheers from down under

Law Schools in AustraliaI really don't know where the ANU comes from - the Law program there has never been considered prestigious - except by those who have actually enrolled into it.Traditionally the best law schools in the country have been and currently are the University of Sydney and UNSW. However, it appears the industrially and academically UNSW seems to have a slight edge over Sydney.
Fri May 25, 2007 05:32 AM
a) Has a UAI entrance cut off over 99.00 which dictates its market demand, popularity but more importantly the calibre of the students - those who attend and graduate from the program are in the top 1% of the state. USyd is the same in this domain.
b) UNSW Law has produced 5 Rhodes scholars in the past 7 years - a record yet to be match by any other faculty let alone law. In addition, an precedented amount of Fullbright scholarships are also awarded to UNSW Law students.
c) The top two Law firms in the country - Freehills and Mallesons recruit more graduates from UNSW than any other Law program in the country.
d) According to the good universities guide - UNSW law graduates earn more on average than their state counterparts.
e) The Graduate Careers Council of Australia's national survey indicates that UNSW Law students find the educational experience much more satisfying than law students from other Australian universities.
f) The academic staff have strong industry experience as well as research clout.
g) Unlike the ANU, Macquarie and UTS, the school has strong ties with industry employers. Employers know and like UNSW degrees.
h) The university has recently constructed a new state of the art law building on campus.
i) Professor Dennis Pearce a prominent legal academic and layer declared UNSW the best law school in Australia.
All in all UNSW is also close to the CBD and Sydney's famed beaches and the campus itself is modern and fresh. The Law building itself located right next to the university pub and gym. From an honest perspective, if you go for a job in a large city such as Sydney - those who have earned a Law degree from Sydney or UNSW would have already have a competitive edge over you. This is simply because employers know how difficult it is to get into those programs and the calibre of the students that traditionally come out of them.
You can trust the ill methodology rankings canonising the ANU but here in Sydney - UTS, ANU and Macquarie have always been considered second tier to Sydney and UNSW. Anyone that lives here can tell you that's a fact.

Law Schools in AustraliaPray tell, if the ANU is subservient to these other schools why is it now part of the IARU, along with Oxford, Cambridge, Berkley and Yale? Your post if so Sydney-centric it's disgusting. You can keep telling yourself UNSW is the best till your blue in the face but all the international rankings show otherwise. I don't really care which is the best all the G8 are great schools, your post is just ignorant.

Law Schools in AustraliaHi, I'm new to this and I realise this is a LLM forum. But I've been reading some of these posts and they've been very useful lately. However, most of these posts are about UNSW, ANU and Sydney Uni which aren't very applicable to my situation at the moment.
Fri Jun 08, 2007 03:03 PM
I'm making a decision on whether to read law (a LLB) at University of Queensland or Monash University. I've weighed some of the pros and cons and I'm not so sure which to go to. I suppose maybe it seems like I am being silly because truth be told I just completed by A levels and they weren't so well done so I'll be doing a foundation year at either of these institutions first before entering law school. But, seeing how these foundation programmes are generally very university specific, it seems fit that I should pick which law programme I would ultimately wish to enrol in. But I digress.
I do think that Melbourne seems like a better place to live, which is a good reason why I am interested in Monash. Location is of considerable importance to me as I am an international student. Melbourne uni is no longer and option as it will not offer law as an undergraduate degree from 2008. Yet at the same time, I've come to find out that UQ has got electronic moot courts... much more technologically advanced than Monash and I find that this could come in useful although I'm not so sure how much so.
When I was registering for universities and talking to some of these counsellors who handle applications of international students such as myself, I've heard that Queensland may be a tad better than Monash. While I know the whole ranking thing is not set in stone and very subjective, I just want to hear what the general opinions of these two schools are and how each person perceives the two unis would fare when compared with each other.
I've done internships in some of the bigger law firms at home as well and I've come to see (even though it's too early to say) that I'm quite interested in civil litigation work... what are the niche areas of both UQ and Monash?
Thanks a lot for your help, your opinions will all be greatly appreciated! Any additional information about living in Brisbane/Melbourne would be useful too since I've never actually lived in either of these places! :)

The top two Law firms in the country - Freehills and Mallesons recruit more graduates from UNSW than any other Law program in the country.
How did you arrive at this conclusion?
What ranking provides that Freehills and Mallesons are THE top 2 law firms in Australia? Did you mean they are two OF the top law firms in Australia?
Secondly, you say that they hired more UNSW grads than any other law program. This is meaningless unless you explain how you came to this conclusion.
Are you only looking at the sydney offices of these firms? Because I'm from Qld and I could say that the top firms in Australia take more grads from Qld uni's then any other uni, which is true if i'm only referring to their Qld offices.
Additionally, sydney offices are generally the largest in Australia (sometimes taking 3 times as many grads then in other states) and obviously the Sydney offices are going to have the majority of applications from people from sydney than say from Melbourne or Qld.
So unless you've come to this conclusion considering all of these firms' offices in Australia and using the percentage of applicants from each university compared to the percentage hired then your conclusion is meaningless. (assuming you even have valid data to start with).

Law Schools in AustraliaI'm a fourth year combined law/international studies student at UNSW. I grew up in Canberra and the only reason I didn't choose to go to the ANU instead was because both my parents went there and I wanted to move out! However, I've been very impressed with the calibre of the UNSW law degree. I decided not to go to Sydney Uni because a) it's in the city and UNSW is close to the beach and b) (I really hope not to offend anyone here- I have heaps of Sydney Uni friends to whom this does not hold true, they're great people and note I'm making gross generalisations... but:) the prestige everyone speaks of in Sydney sometimes translates to arrogance amongst student and staff alike, purely because a lot of the students have come from predominantly white, Christian, right-wing, upper-to middle-class backgrounds (and I might well fall into the category too so don't be offended!) and went to the "prestigious" sydney private schools (like John Howard for example). I have met a plethora of "trust-fund" babies who go to sydney simply because of the prestige associated with it, and I just don't think this uni is indicative of society outside the uni experience. UNSW on the other hand has a huge amount of international students and students from the country who you would otherwise never get the chance to meet, and whose opinions are just as relevant to those of richer students, who, unfortunately, will probably get further in life because of their or their parents' social status.
Thu Jun 21, 2007 06:42 AM
The reason why I've been impressed with UNSW is that it doesn't just teach the rules that you need in order to understand particular areas of law. We do 2 sessions of Property, Equity and Trusts law, whereas UTS and Sydney Uni only does one. We do 2 sessions of Criminal Law (UTS only does one) in order to fully understand the criminology behind these laws, as well as other important aspects like social utility and human rights. My lecturer from Criminal Law, wrote the textbook (as well as 4 other ppl - 2 from Macquarie Uni and the other 2 from UNSW aswell) that is used in all NSW law schools as well as in the ACT.
We have a program (the Kingsford Legal Centre- there was a show on ABC about this a year or two ago) which enables students to get first-hand experience and training in providing free legal aid to members of the public.
We have a program for Aboriginal and Torres-Strait Islanders to enable many who previously- due to many social factors may have been unable to do so - to study Law.
My public (or Constitutional Law) lecturer George Williams also wrote the textbook used in many Universities and writes articles for the Sydney Morning Herald all the time. He also seems to be the first port of call whenever politicians, journalists, attorney-generals etc want to clarify any issues on International and Constitutional Law.
I honestly believe u will get a 1st-class experience no matter which G8 University u decide to attend... I'm just glad I chose UNSW

Law Schools in AustraliaThere's not much I need to add to the powerful rebuttal of "Fredster's" post advanced by other users. His post is distinguished only by its undergraduate qualities and Sydney-centric ignorance (and that's coming from a Sydneysider!) These kind of threads always generate a lot of contributions from partisan undergraduates who (a) are absolutely clueless about research performance and the fact that research performance is the crucial factor in international academic rankings in any discipline; and (b) mistakenly argue that UAI (for our foreign friends - that is the entrance score required for undergraduates) is an indicator of quality, whereas it merely reflects demand (and in so doing, is always going to favour large population centres over smaller ones - ANU being the law school most distorted by this measure).
Wed Jul 04, 2007 01:32 AM
Melbgrad is dead right on the following -
In terms of Aussie law schools, from an international (well UK anyway) academic perspective, both Melbourne and ANU stand head and shoulders in terms of overall reputation above all other law schools - including Sydney.
Yep, I did graduate study in the UK and the US and in terms of global perception, nothing other than ANU and Melbourne rate. In terms of globally competitive research output, the two big Sydney law schools (USyd and UNSW just don't cut the mustard at the moment - particularly not UNSW, which is a long way adrift of the big three. But I'm sure they will rise again. These things always ebb and flow over time.
To bring some objective measure into this debate, there is only one discipline-by-discipline ranking system for Australian universities, published by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research. [If you want to read about the methodology they used, you can download the full paper at www.melbourneinstitute.com/publications/reports/dr_aus_uni/P…
The Institute reported on which Australian law schools were ranked by at least 40 per cent of international legal academics as being in the top-50 law schools globally and then those ranking in the 51-100 top law schools globally.
The ONLY Australian law schools in that list at all were Melbourne, ANU and Sydney, which were all rated in the top-50. No Australian universities appeared in the 51-100 list.
On overall ranking, domestic scholars ranked Melbourne first, followed by Sydney, then ANU. International scholars ranked ANU first, followed by Melbourne, then Sydney. (This makes sense to those of us acquainted with the faculty members of those universities - ANU has a number of scholars who publish predominantly in the US and UK, including two professors who moved straight from Chairs at Oxford.) For the occasional Sydney undergrad brat on this forum who wonders how ANU can possibly rank so highly, it is worth pointing out that a single scholar, Professor Hilary Charlesworth - who is one of the world's leading feminist scholars of international law - receives more citations in United States law journals than all UNSW academic staff combined.)
The overall rankings, combining the judgments of domestic and international legal scholars were -
1. Melbourne
2. ANU (equal)
2. Sydney (equal)
5. Monash
6. Queensland
8. Adelaide
9. Macquarie
10. Griffith
(for the rest, see the paper)
Incidentally, I would respectfully disagree with the suggestion that Melb is better than Sydney on grounds that it is a "more interesting city"(!), though it certainly is cheaper and I'll even concede that Melbourne Law is better located (and housed in nicer premises - though this factor will disappear with the new Syd Law School building.
(Melb again is better than Sydney because it is a more interesting city tio live in, the Law School is in a better location and it's a hell of a lot cheaper).

Law Schools in AustraliaWell put SydneySider. I agree entirely. The only thing I would add is that, as there is always an "ebb and flow over time", pursuing a post-grad degree from Sydney or UNSW is not a bad bet because a decade or so down the track, they may be considered the leading universities for law.

Law Schools in AustraliaWhen choosing a program the best thing to do is talk to current students in the program and find out their views. Speaking to graduates is fine but they may offer biased opinions since they have graduated and forgotten about their negative/positive experiences during the course of their studies.
Sat Aug 04, 2007 04:57 AM
Also try to visit the campus and sit in on some lectures. As you will be studying at the university for a number of years, the learning environment is extremely important.
Finally I would simply avoid all the university rankings altogether. Coming from a Statistcs/Law background I can say they are ALL extremely flawed. There is really no fair way that academics can fairly rank other universities - esp. at a global level. Rankings such as the Times Higher Education is particular bad as they only sampled around 2000 academics around the world - with well over ten thousand universities in the world, millions of academics and thousands of disciplines... what grants these 2000+ academics the special ability to rank and rate so fairly? In addition the THES was extraordinarily biased in that minimal academics from Africa and South America were sampled... The national rankngs offered by Melb U are just as bad... the grouping of disciplines into chucks is monsterous. For instance is Psychology grouped into Humanities or Science?
Another example, lets compare Princeton to say Melbourne University.... Princeton's internal reputation prominent however how can we equate and compare these two schools when they differ ever so much? For those of you who don't know, Princeton doesn't have a medical, business or law school whereas Melbourne does. My point is that each university is different and offers differential educational experiences/outcomes and thus it would be silly to rely on rankings from folks who more than likely have never attended nor had any personal contact/experiences with the universities that they are ranking.
I would also strongly discourage over-reliance on institutional groupings such as the Group 8 or IARU. They are simply corporate schemes used to attract more funding from government and private resources. If you attend one of the universties listed in the groups and are extremely proud of the fact that your uni is listed - than you have been by all means been sucked into the propaganda. The IARU should be looked on carely... the Harvard Crimson recently wrote an article stating how the IARU is more of a wolf pack aimed counteracting other research giants such as Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Caltech and the French Ecoles...
Mind you in Sydney, UTS and Macquarie are also highly regarded as offering pragmatic and practical degrees. I personally don't think anyone here can rate Aust. universities at a national level - unless ofcourse you have attended all of them personally.
Any of the universities mentioned are pretigious in Australia in their own right so it all comes down to which learning environment you are suited towards....
Good Luck!!

It seems that Governor Jan Brewer has disappeared.
I would fear the rapture, but … hey, it's Jan Brewer. Slim chance of her going before me. I'm real proud to say that.
She really hasn't disappeared, but she has gone missing.
Brewer is out of state for a week on official business, but her staff won't reveal where, according to The Associated Press. Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, also a Republican, is the state's acting governor, and certified election results Monday in Brewer's place.
Official business? Planning an invasion of Mexico is official business?
I suggest we put her face on milk cartons, but it'd curdle the milk. Yeah, I'm that catty.

During a national briefing call on June 3, Texas Sen. John Whitmire noted that, in his state, 84% of African American boys had received one or more suspensions in their educational career. This was a startling wake-up call for policymakers and is now a priority as they work to create welcoming school cultures and effective learning conditions to keep students in the classroom.
According to a 2014 Annie E. Casey Foundation report, large disparities exist related to fourth-grade student reading assessment results. National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores show 80% of lower income students read below proficient levels. In order to graduate high school with the skills, knowledge and dispositions needed to find and maintain a job a student must not only learn to read but use reading to learn other subjects.
With the mounting snow days in New Jersey the Pascack Valley Regional High School District took a new approach to learning. Instead of adding another day with no instruction Superintendent Erik Gundersen made the bold decision to utilize students' district-issued laptops as the vehicle to provide lessons.
Across the nation, an increasing number of students are being required to enroll in remedial courses when they arrive on college campuses. These additional courses add to the time spent obtaining a college degree and increase an already growing student debt problem. By implementing college- and career-readiness standards, states can better prepare students for the challenges of college or the workforce.
Technology has changed the course of the world—making daily tasks easier, faster and cheaper to complete. But are American students prepared to change the course of technology in the future? How can technology change classrooms today? These were the questions posed by experts at The Council of State Governments' Digital Learning and STEM Initiatives Policy Academy, sponsored by Microsoft and held in conjunction with CSG's 2013 National Conference in Kansas City, Mo.
According to Cameron Evans, Microsoft's U.S. Education Chief Technology Offer, on any given day the corporation has 8,000 vacant jobs due to the lack of a skilled workforce. These are not highly technical jobs but those that can't be filled by recent graduates due to the skills gap especially in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Digital learning offers a new direction for students, teachers and school districts. Opportunities exist to customize and personalize education so each student receives the tools they need to engage in their instruction and become self-directed learners. Additionally, digital learning opens the door to connect students across the state, region and nation with instructional content and practices they may not otherwise receive. Teachers and school leaders also benefit through online instruction, professional development and building capacity to expand and increase rigor in learning opportunities and equip students with the skills they need in the 21st century.
