CHICAGO — Doctors have successfully dropped the first "smart bomb" on breast cancer, using a drug to deliver a toxic payload to tumor cells while leaving healthy ones alone.
CHICAGO — A hormone-blocking pill approved last year for some men with advanced prostate cancer now also seems to help a wider group of men who were given it sooner in the course of treating their disease.
America's newest veterans are filing for disability benefits at a historic rate, claiming to be the most medically and mentally troubled generation of former troops the nation has ever seen. A staggering 45 percent of the 1.6 million veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now seeking compensation for injuries they say are service-related. That is more than double the estimate of 21 percent who filed such claims after the Gulf War in the early 1990s, top government officials told The Associated Press.
A simple, cheaper exam of just the lower part of the bowel can cut the risk of developing colon cancer or dying of the disease, a large federal study finds.
MILWAUKEE — One of life's simple pleasures just got a little sweeter. After years of waffling research on coffee and health, even some fear that java might raise the risk of heart disease, a big study finds the opposite: Coffee drinkers are a little more likely to live longer. Regular or decaf doesn't matter. The study of 400,000 people is the largest ever done on the issue, and the results should reassure any coffee lovers who think it's a guilty pleasure that may do harm.
Test-tube babies have higher rates of birth defects, and doctors have long wondered: Is it because of certain fertility treatments or infertility itself?

5 GreatMetal9 | 23/01/2011 | See all Metal9's reviews (3)I got these for 'deal of the day' during the Christmas period and I have to say that they are fantastic and are packed in a very nice box. I've given this product 5 stars because for the price I can't complain, excellent sound (cant get much better), very nice to look at and you even get a handy little bag to cart them around in. Also on a seperate note I'm using these with a PSP original and an Ipod Touch 3rd Gen and they are honestly great.However the warranty does not cover the UK market oddly, only the US and Canada regions.

'28 Days' Writer to Script 'Judge Dredd' Remake
In Development By Scott Beggs on September 9, 2009 | (4) CommentsWell played, Danny Boyle.
According to a twitter post from comic artist Jock that was scooped up by MTV Splash Page with almost zero context, Alex Garland is going to be writing the new Judge Dredd that for some reasons is being made during our lifetime. Garland wrote both 28 Days Later and Sunshine while Boyle directed, so the pairing seems perfectly natural.
It also seems awesome.
I realize that I was aghast at the idea of a remake when it was first announced, but I did note the silver lining of a production company that understands science fiction working on it. Now, with Garland, it seems like things are falling into place a bit better now that they've added a screenwriter that knows what he's doing.
Could we actually be seeing a true-to-form adaptation of a great science fiction comic?
Stay tuned for when they announce Sylvester Stallone as the lead.
What? He'll be hot off of the fame he's getting from The Expendables.

Income Inequality, Social Mobility, and the Decision to Drop Out of High SchoolMelissa S. Kearney, Phillip B. Levine
NBER Working Paper No. 20195 This paper considers the role that high levels of income inequality and low rates of social mobility play in driving the educational attainment of youth in low-income households in the United States. Using high school degree status from five individual-level surveys, our analysis reveals that low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, and particularly boys, who grow up in locations with greater levels of lower-tail income inequality and lower levels of social mobility are relatively more likely to drop out of high school, conditional on other individual characteristics and contextual factors. The data indicate that this relationship does not reflect alternative characteristics of the place, such as poverty concentration, residential segregation, or public school financing. We propose that the results are consistent with a class of explanations that emphasize a role for perceptions of one's own identity, position in society, or chances of success. In the end, our empirical results indicate that high levels of lower-tail income inequality and low levels of social mobility hinder educational advancement for disadvantaged youth.

I'm not sure why dialog prompt reached is only tied into the blue map based dialogs. Maybe they'll expand the functionality.
Yeah, as Kirkfat says, when you place them on a map, they have slightly more trigger options than the ones you place in the story flowchart - because they have a map associated with them, you are able to pick objects from the map they are on to use as component complete triggers in the dialog prompts for example.
You also set the things to become visible or hidden with the component complete trigger and choosing the map bubble as the component. Because they are on the map, they are classified as objects, and hence you can pick them when it offers you a list of available components to use for the trigger.
I certainly hope that they plan to expand the new dialog prompt triggers to work with NPC dialogs and also the story flowchart dialogs. It seems a waste to just have them working with the map bubbles. We could do so much more if we could use any dialog prompts from the mission as triggers, even ones on other maps.

If you need any information about Thomas Galvin and Nora Burns I have plenty of it since they are my family and maybe you are too if all our information adds up because I know in 1901 Thomas and Nora and their family moved into the home on Dixon St and it had a vegetable garden and Thomas inspected everything that was done to the house. Let me know what information you are looking for and by the way Nora did have a sister Johanna but she would not be a great grandparent she would have been a great or grand aunt or a cousin I forget how that works because my grandma had a sister but her sister Helen would not be my grandparent.

Red-hot logistics parks and inland ports address shippers' distribution needs
By: Karen Thuermer | Apr 27 2008 at 08:00 PM | Channel(s): Ports & Terminals
The latest prospects for real estate appear dim. Yet for those in the shipping industry, distribution centers are red-hot. After all, even in a slowing economy shippers want their goods fast. Consequently, distribution center (DC) developers have become a

I can trace my ancestors through 4 generations. My father is Donald Gene Hyman, his father was Louis (Lewis) Leon Hyman. His father was William Alan Hyman, and his father was Louis (Lewis) Hyman who was born in Baltimore, Maryland around 1841-1843. This is where I run into a wall. All I know about the missing GGGGrandparents is that they were from Darmstadt, Germany which was discovered on a census. Can anyone help me? Notify Administrator about this message?

Jets roared overhead, flags were raised and national anthems sung as the biennial battle between Europe and the USA kicked into high gear Thursday with the Ryder Cup opening ceremonies.
European Ryder Cup Captain Jose Maria Olazabal (L) breaks down as the speaker pays tribute to the late Seve Ballesteros during the opening ceremony of The 39th Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Golf Club in Medinah, Illinois. Aslo pictured Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium (C) and Luke donald of England (R).
The one hour outdoor ceremony on the stage in front of the clubhouse of the Medinah Country Club began with a heart-warming poem from master of ceremonies Justin Timberlake and ended with the announcement of the pairings for Friday's opening matches.

Apps: Clear Day, Halftone 2, Ultima Forever + Units 2.0
Formerly known as Weather HD, a long-time favorite of iLounge's editors, Vimov has re-released its weather app as Clear Day ($2). Clear Day is version 2.5 of the prior app, with a new layout that reduces obscuring elements to let you see more of the weather videos. A free version — Clear Day Free — is ad-supported and lacks push notifications for severe alerts. Users of the full version can add an unlimited number of cities, as well as advanced weather data using in-app purchases.
Photo editing app Halftone 2 (free) from Juicy Bits allows users to turn their photos into comic book pages. A sequel to the original Halftone app, Halftone 2 is freemium, offering many in-app purchases. Users can easily insert thought bubbles and words into their photos, as well as tweaking colors and comic book-style layouts. There are also plenty of sharing options, via e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox, and more.
Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar (free) by EA brings the venerable RPG series to iOS in the form of a freemium, multiplayer social game. This new installment retains the spirit and lore of the original Ultima series, taking the character on a series of quests to save Brittania from a plague called The Black Weep. Users can play in a "guest" mode or link up with Facebook for a more connected multiplayer experience with their friends, and form parties with up to three other heroes to face the dungeons together. Gameplay is presented in a top-down isometric view, with straightforward touch controls, and while player movement and attack gestures are very usable and intuitive across all iOS devices, players using the smaller iPhone and iPod touch may find some buttons difficult to tap precisely. The freemium model allows players to purchase packs of silver and gold keys to advance in the game more quickly, but unlike many other freemium games, this appears to be an option for easily gaining higher level gear, rather than a requirement to fully advance within the game. Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar is true to the Ultima series, with engaging gameplay apart from the control caveat. Available now in Canada, Ultima Forever should be making its way to the U.S. soon.
Units ($1) by Crossroad Solutions, which was first released a week after the App Store's launch in 2008, has updated to version 2.0. The unit converter app has been completely rewritten, with a redesigned, simplified interface. Main functions of the settings screen have been integrated, and mode and shortcut buttons have been removed, replaced by customizable user shortcuts and a quicker pull down keyboard. An integrated calculator has been added so users don't have to leave the app for quick and simple calculations.

Buying guides
Drills buying guide
The drill is the most popular and versatile of all power tools and has become an essential in every DIY tool kit. Not only useful for drilling holes into a variety of materials, they can also be used to drive home screws (with the correct bit attached).
Consider whether you will be looking for a drill with a 'hammer' action - Not only can these drills rotate a drill bit, but they can also apply a 'hammering' action. Switch to hammer (or impact) mode, and the drill bit is vibrated and shunted forwards rapidly as it turns. This makes for quick work, especially through harder wall surfaces or materials. Fit a specialist chisel bit, and you can use your hammer drill for 'chasing' - making a channel in walls to hide wires and cables.
This guide will help you to choose the right drill for your needs - and explain the function of some of the most popular accessories.

2014 Nationals Outlook |
After winning a league-high 98 games in 2012, the Nationals failed to make the playoffs in 2013, winning just 86 games, and finishing a distant second in the National League East. Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo made changes to the club during the offseason, including hiring Matt Williams, formerly the Arizona Diamondbacks' third base coach, to replace Davey Johnson as Washington's manager. In 2013, over two-and-a-half million fans went to Nationals Park to catch one of Washington's 81 home games. If the Nationals keep phenoms Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg on the field and off the disabled list, they should be among the league's best once again -- which means even more fans will get out to Nationals Park this summer. In addition to a new manager, the Nationals welcome starting pitcher Doug Fister to the nation's capital. Fister was acquired in a trade with the Detroit Tigers, and replaces Dan Haren. Fister went 14-9 for the Tigers last season, boasting a 3.67 ERA in the hitter-friendly American League. In each of the last three seasons, Fister has been worth at least 3.5 WAR (Wins Above Replacement), and posted a WAR of 4.6 in 2013. Now in the National League, it stands to reason that Fister will have one of the best seasons of his career in 2014. Fister joins a rotation led by Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann, forming one of the most formidable rotations in the league. No matter when you head to Nationals Park, you're going to have an opportunity to see one of the best pitchers in the league toe the rubber. Offensively, the Nationals are poised to be among the league leaders in runs. Bryce Harper should continue to improve as he enters his third season in the big leagues. Last season, Harper hit .274/.368/.486 in 497 plate appearances. Dan Szymborski's ZiPS projections project Harper to hit .279/.363/.523 in 2014. Harper is joined by veterans Jayson Werth, Ryan Zimmerman, Adam LaRoche, Ian Desmond and Denard Span. Former top prospect Anthony Rendon projects to be the club's regular second baseman in 2014. Wilson Ramos will serve as Washington's starting catcher, and is one of the top young backstops in the game today. Without any holes in the lineup, the Nationals will score plenty of runs in 2014, as they attempt to dethrone the Atlanta Braves as kings of the NL East.
2014 Nationals ScheduleThe National League East is known for its heated rivalries, and the Nationals find themselves in the thick of the animosity. Washington signed Jayson Werth away from the Philadelphia Phillies prior to the 2011 season, which fueled the rivalry between the Phillies and Nats. Each of the last two seasons, the Atlanta Braves and Nationals have alternated capturing division crowns -- and that trend could continue in 2014. Though the New York Mets lost Matt Harvey for the season, any time a New York team is involved constitutes a rivalry. Even the Miami Marlins boast exciting young talent, and fans should look forward to seeing Stephen Strasburg face off against Giancarlo Stanton. 2014 Nationals Interleague ScheduleThis year, the Washington Nationals will face off against the AL West in interleague play. The Nationals will host Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels April 21, April 22 and April 23, in a series that will show off two of baseball's best young stars in Trout and Bryce Harper. Washington will play host to the Texas Rangers May 30, May 31 and June 1, in what could be a World Series preview. The Nationals will head to Houston to take on the Astros April 29 and April 30, before hosting the former National League club June 17 and June 18. Washington will take rare west coast trips to Oakland (May 9, May 10, May 11), to take on the defending AL West champion A's, and Seattle (August 29, August 30, August 31) to take on the new-look Mariners, led by Felix Hernandez and Robinson Cano. About Nationals ParkNationals Park opened in 2008, replacing the outdated RFK Stadium as the Nationals' home park. Since then, Nationals Park has only hosted three playoff games, all in 2012, but hosts one of the most exciting teams in baseball. In addition to hosting Nats baseball, Nationals Park has hosted Paul McCartney, and will host both Jason Aldean and One Direction in 2014. Further, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass at Nationals Park in April 2008. Nationals Park has a capacity of 41,418, but with standing room only tickets, can exceed over 45,000. One of baseball's newest facilities, Nationals Park is one of the best stadiums to catch a game -- so be sure to buy your tickets and check it out! Nationals Franchise Facts

A few observations from a columnist who, despite summer having officially begun just this past week, might have been out in the sun too long:
An Arizona man on trial for sending his 16-year-old nephew into a busy intersection last summer with a fake grenade launcher was convicted Monday of endangering the teen's life and carrying out a terrorism hoax.
An April 9 trial date has been set for a man who's accused of sending his nephew into a street with a fake grenade launcher as he filmed the masked teen pointing the fake weapon at passing cars.
It all began with neighbors hearing gunshots. Then, two frantic 911 calls followed.

NAIROBI, Kenya - NATO forces rescued 20 fishermen from pirates who launched the latest attack in the Gulf of Aden on Saturday, but let the Somali hijackers go because they had no authority to arrest them.
NAIROBI, Kenya - In a riveting high-seas drama, an unarmed American crew wrested control of their U.S.-flagged cargo ship from Somali pirates and sent them fleeing to a lifeboat with the captain as hostage.
NAIROBI, Kenya - For the first three months of 2009, Somalia's notorious pirates faded from the headlines as a massive international naval force moved in, and many observers thought the pirates were running scared.
LAHORE, Pakistan — Black-clad Pakistani commandos overpowered a group of militants who had seized a police academy, took cadets hostage and killed at least six of them Monday in a dramatic challenge to the civilian government that faces U.S. pressure to defeat Islamic extremists.
MOGADISHU, Somalia - After reportedly receiving a $3 million ransom dropped by parachute, pirates said they released a captured Saudi supertanker Friday, ending a two-month drama that helped galvanize international efforts to fight piracy off Africa's coast.
GUANGZHOU, China - Chinese warships headed toward Somali waters Friday to combat piracy, the first time the communist country has sent ships on a mission that could involve fighting so far beyond its territorial waters.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - In a dramatic escalation of high seas crime, Somali pirates hijacked a Saudi supertanker loaded with crude hundreds of miles off the coast of East Africa — defeating the security web of warships trying to protect vital shipping lanes.
IGOETI, Georgia - Russian forces built ramparts around tanks and posted sentries on a hill in central Georgia on Saturday, digging in despite Western pressure for Moscow to withdraw its forces under a cease-fire deal signed by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Unchallenged by Lebanon's army, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah routed Sunnis loyal to the U.S.-allied government and seized control of large swaths of Beirut's Muslim sector Friday in a telling demonstration of its military prowess.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A string of bombings killed at least 15 people Monday in the Baghdad area, a day after a massive car bomb attack in a Shiite area market delivered the first major blow to the U.S.-led security crackdown. Attacks in other parts of Iraq pushed the overall death toll near 30.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The four U.S. helicopters that have crashed in Iraq since Jan. 20 were apparently shot down, the chief American military spokesman said Sunday - the first time the U.S. command has publicly acknowledged that the aircraft were lost to enemy fire.
KABUL, Afghanistan - NATO forces fought two large groups of militants crossing the border from Pakistan, and as many as 150 insurgents were killed, the alliance said Thursday. A Taliban spokesman called the report "a complete lie."

PoP In memoriam - Padma Shukla
View Description Hide DescriptionPhysics of Plasmas Editorial Board member, Padma K. Shukla, passed away suddenly on January 26, 2013 in New Delhi, India. Professor Shukla was in India to receive the prestigious Jewel of India Award. The award is bestowed by the Prime Minister of India and it honored Professor Shukla for his outstanding contributions and accomplishments in scientific research. He was a Distinguished Professor and the Director of the International Centre for Advanced Studies in Physical Sciences at the Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany. As a plasma physicist, his research interests ranged from nonlinear plasma physics to high energy density physics but he was known most for his pioneering research contributions to dusty plasmas. PoP Editorial Board member and dusty plasma researcher Professor Robert L. Merlino of the University of Iowa comments that "Padma Shukla was a great friend and colleague, and the international plasma physics community has suffered a great loss of one of its most distinguished and prolific scholars. He will be remembered not only for his prodigious scientific accomplishments, but also for his dedication and kindness in mentoring many young scientists from around the world. It is difficult to imagine a dusty plasma community without him." Padma Shukla was a highly valued member of the plasma physics community and he will be sorely missed by his many colleagues around the world.

The Jazz played better than they have on the road Wednesday night at Boston, but after shooting at a 40-percent clip from the field, they certainly were slowed offensively. Boston beat the Jazz 98-93.
GUARDS: Mo Williams (14 points, five assists, 6-of-19 shooting) had probably the second-worst game of his season, after a two-point, two-assist, 1-of-6 shooting effort Friday at Denver. But with 14 points, six rebounds and three assists, Gordon Hayward was as good as he's been through nine games. His 31 minutes, however, were the second-lowest of the regular season. At least Celtic guards Rajon Rondo and Jason Terry were inefficient on offense (3-of-10 shooting), though Rondo's 10 assists hurt the Jazz. It didn't matter as much, though, since Leandro Barbosa (16 points, 6-of-8 shooting, three assists) was wonderful and actually played 59 more seconds than Terry. GRADE: C-.
FORWARDS: With 20 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal, Paul Millsap earned more than 40 minutes of playing time. Perhaps he should have played even more if he was a bit more accurate from the field (9-21). Still, his point total marked his season's highest total other than Monday's triple-overtime triumph in Toronto. His 12 rebounds were the third-highest of the season. (It's been a good week for the bruiser.)
Impressive was Derrick Favors' ability to get to the charity stripe (10-of-14 FTs in just 26 minutes). He also grabbed nine rebounds in that time, the third-highest of his season, too. But Marvin Williams (seven points, 2-of-6 shooting, 25 minutes) wasn't much of a factor. But Paul Pierce (23 points in just 29 minutes — he's averaging 19 in 35) was a dagger from deep. Jeff Green's 27 starter's minutes led to his 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting. That was his season high and more than double his average. GRADE: C+.
CENTERS: The Jazz got decent work from Al Jefferson (13 points, 14 rebounds, 6-of-12 shooting). His glass-cleaning stat tied for his season's highest, excluding Monday's extra-minutes affair. Considering the Jazz's low field-goal percentage, Mo Williams should have taken the lead in proactively getting him the ball. A mediocre defender, Big Al even did a decent job on Kevin Garnett (11 points on 4-of-10 shooting — 4.9 below his average in nearly the same minutes). GRADE: A-.
BENCH: Led by Green and Barbosa, the Celtics walloped the Jazz's bench, outscoring it 47-25. Not a good day. Randy Foye went 2-of-3 from distance, but 0-3 otherwise. Perhaps surprisingly, his point total was the third-lowest of the season. Enes Kanter and Jamaal Tinsley were non-factors. Foye's 3-point field-goal percentage is the highest in his career so far. GRADE: D+.
OVERALL: Fans can be encouraged by the Jazz's effort, but they still struggle on the road. This was a winnable game. It's nice to see Utah's efficiency from distance continue (7-of-15 Wednesday). Juggling minutes between Jefferson, Millsap, Marvin Williams and Favors must keep coach Tyrone Corbin up at night. GRADE: C.

What Google Can Teach You About Silver Jewellery
Silver jewellery has a traditional as well as a contemporary touch to it. Silver jewellery has actually gained major prominence in the past couple of years.
Silver provides a standard and stylish look to your attire and does not burn a hole in your pocket. It's economical and the quality of jewellery it produces as compared to other metals, makes silver one of the most popular metal bases for jewellery.
You can also select the type of silver you want to put on. They consist ...

Very foggy weather at the Vancouver International Airport did not delay my early morning flight to Houston.

Relevance of Professionalism in a Post-Legal Services Act World
(thanks to wallyconger.com)
I've always admired "Duke" (or Hunter S Thompson as he's known in the mundane world). For anyone who could consume the amount of drugs he did and yet write as brilliantly as he could must be professional.
I have written a post for the legal profession section of Jotwell on Nick Robinson's paper, When Lawyers Don't Get All the Profits: Non-Lawyer Ownership of Legal Services, Access, and Professionalism (Harvard Law School Program Legal Profession Research Paper No. 2014-20) available at SSRN.
He raises some serious questions during his comparison of non-lawyer ownership in three countries: UK, Australia, and the US. I've tried to give this a sociological gloss in my review. It's a good paper and should be read widely.

The Sociology of the Professions: Lawyers, Doctors and Others...redux
(thanks to kardsunlimited)
Years ago, as a naive graduate student at Warwick, I was invited to a conference on lawyers, doctors and others at Oxford. Philip Lewis organised it. What I loved about the conference was that all my heroes in the sociology of the professions and lawyers were there--Eliot Freidson, Terry Johnson, Marc Galanter, Dietrich Rueschemeyer, and Maureen Cain, plus more. These were the people whose work I was reading and using to guide my own research.
The resulting book was published in 1983 and became an essential text for anybody researching in the field of professions. It still is an essential text, losing none of its force and acuity. Unfortunately the book went out of print.
But I'm glad to say that The Sociology of Professions: Lawyers, Doctors and Others, edited by Robert Dingwall and Philip Lewis has been reissued by Quid Pro Books. The publisher has commissioned a new foreword to this edition by Sida Liu of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Sida Liu writes:
"it is a rare effort to fully compare the two classic cases of doctors and lawyers in the professions literature. The contributors of the book include a number of prominent authors on the professions in Britain and the United States. Until today, it remains a vitally important volume for scholars and students interested in various aspects of professional life...Looking back one must be struck by the extent to which theorists of professions and empirical researchers on doctors and lawyers from both the UK and US fully engage with one another throughout the book."I'm glad to see this book back. It has so much to tell us. I was thinking about it as I addressed a graduating class of law students today at UCD. It would have been great to have been able to give each of them a copy.

Dress Casual....But for Lawyers?
I was asked to speak at a roundtable on lawyers and careers at StudentSlingshot. The event was arranged by the indefatigable Patrick Guiney of UCD Smurfit Business School. It brought students from all around Ireland to Dublin Castle to meet and talk with entrepreneurs, techies, business people and, of course, lawyers.
The invitation said clearly "Dress casual". So guess who were the only people wearing business suits? Yes, the lawyers. Both men and women.
Given that there were many tech people at the StudentSlingshot--after all both Google and Facebook have their European headquarters here--I thought it would be useful for the students to know something about the influence of technology in law and the role played by legal tech startups. (By the way I wasn't wearing a suit.) During my talk I said something about the use of boilerplate documents by law firms (implicitly referring to Gulati's work on pari passu).
A managing partner of a sizeable Dublin law firm, sitting next to me, exploded. They never used such things and it was tantamount to heresy to suggest otherwise. I referred to research on this saying that bespoke legal work is very expensive and not all clients need it. She refused to accept this.
A barrister then talked about becoming a barrister in Dublin. I was reminded of the UK situation years ago. He said it was normal for an aspiring barrister to wait years before earning any money, let alone a living wage.
I have been travelling in a time machine here and I can begin to understand why the Troika demanded changes to the profession and its regulation. It creates too many barriers. I hope the legal services reformation bill passes into law soon. The legal profession needs to come into the 21st century.
The evening was great fun though.

What is a lawyer?
(Thanks to Dilbert.com) |
The result is of course equivalent to how long is that string? As long or as short as you'd like. This type of approach doesn't get you anywhere.
What is particularly noticeable to anyone who studies lawyers, legal professions and professions in general is Goldsmith's singular lack mention of the types of conditions under which lawyers and professionals work. The organisation whether it be law firm or hospital is now crucial to understanding the nature of professional life and work.
Goldsmith talks about "the lawyer" in the abstract as a myth almost rather than someone engaged in expert labour within an organisational setting. Even that most singular of legal professions, the barrister, is really a creature of the organisation.
The Lawyer today published a report on the UK top 200 law firms with a special section on the top ten chambers. They are listed by chambers earnings and revenue per barristers within each chambers, not by single barristers.
Being a lawyer is another occupation like most. Goldsmith's thinking is indicative of a desire for a "golden age" of lawyering, which probably never existed--only in misty dreams. He alludes to but tries to avoid the idea that lawyers are no longer exclusive.
Machines, paralegals, technicians, accountants, consultants even are all engaged in the "practice" of law these days. They may not call themselves lawyers but they do law. The new legal services markets now emerging are signs that the distinctiveness of the lawyer is being eroded.
It might mean that lawyers' skills are redundant. I think this unlikely. Or it could mean that lawyers' skills are inadequate to the demands of today's business and legal markets. If they are inadequate then others invade your turf and take your work. So it's up to the profession(s) and the academy to (re)produce lawyers/professionals fit for the modern age. And don't worry about definitions. Hardly anyone cares.

Making Sense of Universities' Disciplines
This is my new academic home. But this isn't a post about it but rather what we do in universities. It is the concatenation of several events over the past few weeks. They are my immersion into a new law school, a conversation with a director of a public affairs think tank, and reading some articles about the role of university disciplines. And finally, visiting an art exhibition held in the science department at UCD.
I have always been a hybrid. I'm trained in both law and sociology and and I am happy to straddle the boundary between them. This doesn't always fit in with the ways universities like to organise themselves. That is done according to disciplines or subjects so we can have schools and departments. And, when, as in the UK, one has reviews like the Research Excellence Framework (REF), disciplinary boundaries become sharp indeed. Funds, PhD students, research fellowships are jealously guarded and ring fenced.
But is this the best way for us to educate and to do research? Administrative convenience is no reason for continuing this state of affairs. It is by breaking boundaries we discover new ideas and ways of formulating them. Law is a good example of this. For years law has followed a settled path of teaching "core" subjects. It has become habituated to it. It exists in its own bubble. Yet from all around are voices talking about commodification of law, the globalisation of law, and law as an offshoot of behavioural economics, for example. None of the core courses take account of these.
Just recently there has been a mini-revolution in the teaching of university economics. Students have clamoured for a more realistic type of economics, one that recognises its failure in the recession. Oxford and many other institutions are now putting forward a new curriculum. It isn't exactly May 1968 all over again, but there has been change. Unfortunately, law has not been so visited. Even the Legal Education and Training Review in the UK seemed empty of student contributions.
Terry Eagleton wrote that he was worried that with the commercialisation of higher education the humanities could suffer, even be eradicated from the university, which would result in their death. He's right. If we take the commercial route--let's have all our law graduates "practice ready"--we will impoverish our students' education. However, I'm not sure that we do much better right now. In Europe, as opposed to the US, law is posed as a liberal education. Yet much of what students learn is technocratic and rule-based. I have difficulty in characterising this as liberal education.
But with our disciplinary boundaries, it's difficult to achieve a more cohesive and blended education for students. Jonathan Wolff argues for scholarship that is more confusing and more exciting, which can be done by blurring boundaries. Taking law as my case (and forgetting Eagleton's comment "real men study law"), we can see all sorts of interesting things happening. One that appeals very much to me is the input of design into law. Margaret Hagan's work in the use of design to improve accessibility to law by users but why not students too? (See this wonderful page on beauty and law.) I will go further. I'm involved in Law Without Walls and one of our best student projects was one that Margaret was involved in called Traffick Junction. Go look. It's inspiring.
If we want to give our students a truly liberal law education then we must incorporate other subjects and approaches. We will enrich our cognitive capacities, expand our thought processes, and make learning (and research) more enjoyable and potentially more useful for society. It is by embracing this interdisciplinarity that we become imaginative and creative. Which leads me to the conversation with the think tank director. He talked of how he had to deal with disciplines by stealth because empires were at stake. It would take time, but one way of getting there was by what he called the "co-production of knowledge". By crossing boundaries, by working with students, by using social media, we take knowledge out of the silo and place it in the community where it belongs.
I hope we will achieve some of this here.

Goodbye London, Hello Dublin....
From September 2014 I'm taking up a new position at the UCD Sutherland School of Law as the McCann FitzGerald Professor of International Law and Business. I've been an external examiner at UCD for the past three years and have got to know and like the people there.
The position is everything I could imagine focussing on globalization, lawyers, law firms, international business, all with a sociological twist. I will be running a joint MSc in international law and business with the UCD School of Business. UCD will be joining Law Without Walls as well this year.
And, of course, Ireland is about to introduce its new legal services regulatory structure which I can't miss. (For more on this see Maeve Hosier's new book, The Regulation of the Legal Profession in Ireland, Quid Pro Books).
UCD has opened a new law building this year which is beautiful and is one of the best I've seen.
It reminds me of my home in London with its open spaces and great use of glass. It's a convivial space.
I won't be severing all my ties with London (pace Dr Johnson). University College London has made me an Honorary Professor of Law. And I shall be a Visiting Professor of Law and Sociology at the University of Westminster. I will also continue to be a member of the Research Strategy Group at the Legal Services Board.
In a way, it's a return to my roots.
PS. The gym at UCD has kettlebells!

With both teams allowing an average of only one goal per match in the regular season, the rules were simple: The first team to two goals wins.
Gilbert sophomore Brad Mason provided that magic number in the 13th minute of the second half to propel the fifth-seeded Gilbert boys soccer team to a 2-1 victory over fourth-seeded Tucson Salpointe Saturday in the 5AI state quarterfinals at the Tempe Sports Complex.
Mason called his secondhalf header the biggest goal of his life. "We came out hard. We laid it all out there," said Mason of the Tigers (14-3-1), who face top-seeded Phoenix Brophy in the semifinals Tuesday night at Mesa Community College.
"Brad's been a big force all year in the box," Gilbert coach Jeff Perry said. "It's nothing new for him."
Each team scored once in a physical first half. The Tigers struck first with a breakaway goal by senior captain Ross Wood in the game's sixth minute. After each team swapped shots that bounced off the crossbar, the Lancers (11-5-0) answered with a header by Charles Blase in the 23rd minute.
Wood said the team talked about making some adjustments at halftime. "We saw what they had to offer and we came out with more intensity," he said. "We knew we could beat them. We just wanted it more."
That intensity was more apparent in the second half, as the clock was stopped twice – once for a yellow card against Gilbert senior Alex Cannis and another for a Salpointe injury.
Time of possession was nearly even in the first half, but the Tigers controlled the ball in the second, especially after Mason's game-winner, preventing the Lancers from getting a real chance to tie the game.
After the game, Perry told his team that the state championship is theirs if they continued to play like they did.
In particular, Perry was impressed with the ability to shut out Salpointe's leading scorer, Fernando Gauna, who scored more goals for the Lancers this season than the rest of his team combined. "Our ability to keep Fernando in check was big," he said. "We were able to get pressure on the ball quite a bit."
Perry also credited goalkeeper Brian Davies for limiting the Lancers to one goal.
Davies made a diving save 10 minutes into the first half, then made another early in the second.

Because this writer doesn't really know how Hollywood works, I had thought the production of any and all Amazing Spider-Man posters would just cease with April's theatrical item. Alas, the film's Twitter account has debuted what could, with any ounce of reason, be the very last one-sheet this film will ever receive — unless Sony wants to give The Lizard one more push.
Some have noted a striking similarity to Spider-Man 2's nearly iconic poster — what the mutual high-flying display of the comfort one can find in Spider-Man's arms — though I don't know if I'd have otherwise made that connection. To me, it's mostly a decent example of studio marketing.
Marc Webb's film will hit on July 3rd. Take a look at the poster below:
The second poster is for the far-less prolific, far-more violent V/H/S, a horror anthology picture from Ti West, Adam Wingard, Glenn McQuaid, Radio Silence (i.e., a semi-anonymous collection), David Bruckner, and Joe Swanberg. Their approach to found footage and multi-director stories is tied around a central group of kids, all of whom are tasked with finding a specific VHS tape hidden among a vast collection of violent videos.
We liked the film a decent amount when it played at Sundance, but the general attitude indicates a pretty uneven collection of horror shorts; not surprising, but still a bit disappointing. This clever, eye-catching poster captures the concept pretty well, for whatever that may be worth.
V/H/S will hit VOD on August 31st, then have a limited theatrical opening on October 5th. See it below (via Movies.com):
Is this new Spider-Man poster able to provide any more incentive? Do you like the design at play for V/H/S?

I really enjoyed listening to the Cajun program. I went to the Deep Southern states including Louisiana and New Orleans in the 1990s and loved it. I love the Cajun music, food, language and dance. It is so different to other parts of the US as regions do vary. I went on a bayou swamp boat tour done by an Arcadian family who played Cajun music throughout it. Nothing better. I still have memories of the Spanish Moss growing everywhere. I also ate alligator balls (meat balls). In the beginning of the story intro your abc commentator referred to watching a American southern TV show. I would be interested in finding out about that too. Thanks y'all.

Hi Marguerite, unlike your good self I've had to appreciate Cajun music, food and culture vicariously through friends and associates who actually spend time in these parts. Now I watch stuff on TV too.

Have to agree with Gabriel Senette on his expression of anger of environmental damage in the gulf area of the American South. It is a disaster.
During a recent 6 week summer visit to New York City, cable television continually advertised how tourism and life are business as usual in Lousiana, not a problem, 'come on down'.
One gets more honest opinion in the Big Apple with regard to Chicago and Detroit: 'no way, murder town!'

The New York State Comptroller says he won't be participating in a new pilot public campaign finance program agreed to in the state budget, and government reform groups say, they don't blame him.
New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli says a test public campaign finance plan that would apply only to his office is "seriously flawed," and might even be unworkable.
When the budget deal is finally reached in Albany, average New Yorkers will have had little access to the details of the important items that Governor Andrew Cuomo and lawmakers are discussing. That's because the long Albany tradition known as three men in a room continues.
