Dakota Prosch is what some could call a trailblazer in the one of the world's fastest growing sports, roller derby. And it's a fitting label.
The jammer known to some by the derby name Kola Loka, seven-year veteran of the sport, possesses her own lightning fast moves on skates. Even more impressive than her quick moves on the track is her knack for rallying the troops.
Earlier this year, Prosch and a small handful of enthusiastic skaters set up a brand new league in Chicago called the Chicago Red Hots. Shortly after, the Red Hots joined an already established organization, USARS USA Roller Sports, an American body that governs a number of sports that also include inline hockey and speed skating. The momentum didn't stop there.
Since the first practice back in chilly January, the upstart has made a name for itself, while also attracting players from all over the area and winning games. Better yet, after only one season of play, the Red Hots recently booked their place in the USARS National Championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"I loved it when I started," Prosch said of her early days in roller derby. "It was fast and exciting because the action never stopped."
The brand of derby that Red Hots play is run under a slightly different rule set than that of WFTDA, the Women's Flat Track Derby Association. WFTDA teams constitute the lion's share of roller derby's growth in the last decade. As such, well-known teams such as the London Rollergirls and three-time national champs, Gotham Girls Roller Derby, from New York City, dominate much of the conversation.
While much of the devil lays in the derby details, many of the teams that play USARS style roller derby do so because it is seen as a faster game.
"The last three years in WFTDA have seen a slowing down of the action that was not to my liking as a fan of the sport, nor as a player," Prosch said. "When the Red Hots play (by the USARS rules), it is back to the fun, fast derby of the Renaissance of 2005 that fans and players like me are craving."
One interesting thing about the Red Hots is that the league is made up of both new players and skaters with many years of experience on the roller derby track. Yet, most of the club's veterans still play actively for other teams. Red Hots have about 25 regular members; many have come from two larger leagues in Chicago proper as well as players from leagues in Aurora and Roselle.
Having players from other leagues, Prosch said, is a challenge because skaters are busy already with anywhere between two to four nights a week of practice. Despite that, she said the Chicago Red Hots' players are equally as dedicated to their league when they show up for Red Hots practice.
Co-captain Danielle Henderson joined, seeing it not only as an opportunity for an additional workout, but as a way to witness different styles and skill sets from a wide group of derby aficionados.
"The Red Hots are a terrific opportunity to take leadership on the track earlier than you might in a more established league," Henderson said. "Since we have such diverse skills and experience, people are finding their own voice more quickly with fewer intimidation factors at play."
So far, the Red Hots have quickly become a tight unit with its own culture and style of play, and Henderson indicated that that having another place to play derby has its own benefits, one being the simple joy of getting to play a lot more derby.
"More time in skates, more opportunities for competition, while being a part of a start-up venture," Henderson said. "This all leads to a steeper yet quicker learning curve."
The championship tournament action starts 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 25 at Cox Business Center, centrally located in the heart of Downtown Tulsa, Okla. The Red Hots kick off their own run for the USARS cup at 11:30 a.m. against Antagonist Roller Derby, of Seattle, Wash.

May 14-23, 2007 Institute Leaders: Description: Between 1990 and 2005, two-thirds of Iowa's population growth was due to immigration. These immigrants have come primarily from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Iowa's Latino population, for example, grew by 234% between the years 1990 and 2005. Immigrant newcomers create a dynamic social and economic context within which the university and its faculty can conduct research, provide community service and educate graduate students for the diverse world in which they will undoubtedly live and work. Additionally, considering that many of iowa's newcomer students are just starting to graduate from high school, UNI's immediate future needs to include the successful recruitment and retention of a critical block of new Iowans, who will both enrich and be enriched by a higher education experience. The purpose of this institute is to provide opportunities for graduate faculty from a wide variety of disciplines across Colleges-from Marketing to Music, Communications to Curriculum & Instruction, Physics to Philosophy, History to heath, and more-to learn first-hand about the New Iowans. Immigrant integration of innovative and cross-disciplinary learning strategies and educational technology tools in both graduate coursework and in graduate projects beyond the classroom. Carver Graduate Fellows selected for the project will join a faculty learning community beginning with a Summer Institute that will include lectures on the new Iowans; guest presentations by professionals working with these populations; multiple field trips throughout Eastern Iowa to visit these minority communities; and ample discussion time and small-group sessions to develop unique faculty/graduate student projects regarding newcomer groups. Furthermore, the faculty learning community established during this summer institute will be continued through regular meetings and follow-up sessions during the academic year.

Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K Games, has said that Sony and Microsoft are using their respective motion-sensing peripherals as a means of testing the waters ahead of the next console generation.
Speaking to MCV, Hartmann described Kinect and PlayStation Move as "experiments," and insisted that platform holders are not avoiding making new hardware.
"I don't think they are avoiding doing another machine but testing the water," he commented. "Rather than coming out and saying 'this is our console now,' I think they are playing around and seeing what they can do."
"These guys know how to manufacture the chips or push the memory, the kind of thing you usually get with each new console generation. But now everyone is looking for innovation and at online components, so they are experimenting."
Hartmann dismissed the notion that Sony and Microsoft's foray into motion controls is merely a case of 'jumping on the Wii wagon,' but rather trying to take the idea of motion gaming to the next step.
"It's not been a case of just jumping on the Wii wagon – it's been a case of learning about what Wii did and trying to take it somewhere," he offered.
"When Microsoft made the Xbox, I assume there were always plans for Xbox 360. It was just the first Xbox was the machine to get it there. Microsoft was new to the party, so they used Xbox 1 to test the water. It's the same principle."
PS Move, Kinect are "experiments" for next-gen, says 2K

Good afternoon, Gaians. This is Cindy Donovinh of Gaia 9 Action News. Holiday festivities have been underway for over a week now, and Gaians are beginning to get bleary-eyed and woozy from all the cheer and excitement. We turn you now to the admins, who have some news and announcements:
After weeks of working like dogs on the event, most of the developers are too drunk on "holiday cheer" (read: eggnog spiked with Tabasco sauce and gasoline) to make any drastic changes to the site. Many people are still on vacation, too. In fact, I think I'm the only one here. Hello? Guys? Could somebody come let me out of the office? It's all locked up and I'm running out of food...
Don't worry, I'm halfway joking (the part about gasoline eggnog is true, though)(not really; don't' try that at home, or anywhere else). Everyone has been working as hard as ever, and we even put up a nice feature to demonstrate the fact that we're still alive:
Going Postal is back!
Long ago, we had a special page to showcase some of the great art and letters that Gaians sent us in the mail. Unfortunately, we could never find the time to update it regularly. We have some good news and some bad news:
- Good news: we've brought back Going Postal with some brand new art from talented Gaians! We've made the process of updating it much smoother, so we hope to put up new art every single month this time. Click here to check it out, and feel free to send in some art of your own. We love getting letters, and most of our cubicles are plastered with art that Gaians have sent us.
Bad news: There is no bad news. Actually, I guess that's more good news, unless you like bad news, which would mean that no bad news is bad news, but since you like bad news, that's good news.
We hope everybody had a wonderful holiday! Here's what's up with our various Xmas stuffs:
- The Xmas Event nears its end
We've had some laughs and some good times and some general merriment, but the Xmas event must soon draw to a close. I can't believe Zurg Santa is winning more support... poor Cow Santa must be crestfallen. Crestfallen!!! If you'd like to make your final push for Cow Santa, or if you'd like to help out Zurg Santa and make his victory even greater, you have until the end of January 1st to give out gifts. The event will end as the clock strikes midnight on January 2nd, so don't dawdle!
Click here to get some last-minute gift-giving done.
The Holiday Art Contest has ended
We'd like to thank everyone who participated in the Holiday Art Contest, whether it was by creating awesome art or just by voting and encouraging the artists. There are dozens of great entries, and it will take us some time to sort through them all, count up the votes and choose the winners. Look for an announcement of the winners in the coming weeks.
Happy New Year from everyone at Gaia Online! We're going to try our hardest to make 2007 even more fun than 2006.

Adopting an approach that aims to blur the boundaries between culture, design and ecology, we believe that quality in the built and natural environments is only achieved through a rigorous process of questioning, investigation and continuous design refinement.
mcgregor+partners are proponents of a new wave of environmentally focused landscape architecture which is framed within a modernist design approach. Drawing on a diverse inhouse team with expertise in urban design, architecture, planning, landscape architecture, horticulture and urban ecology we cross traditional design boundaries. Our clients engage us and the new technologies we embrace to solve complex urban planning and design problems.
Adrian McGregor established the firm in 1998 and was joined by Philip Coxall in 2000 after returning from ten years working in Europe and Asia. The two studied landscape architecture together at the Environmental Design School in Canberra. The practice has completed over 100 projects with built work in six countries. The partners jointly put projects through a rigorous process of contextual investigation and often challenge the client brief in order to find the best possible design and project outcomes.
The company prizes highly the social, civic and environmental responsibility inherent in landscape architecture and urban design. Not content to accept traditional design approaches we attempt to push the parameters of existing technologies and project systems to deliver designs that exceed current environmental objectives. Using computer technology as a tool, we translate early ideas into digital form and model 3D compositions to visualise and test concepts.
Our work aims to analyse and then utilise the cultural and environmental metabolisms of a site to animate spaces and create dynamic, ephemeral places that delight.
Our collaborative, problem-solving approach and commercial savvy allows us to work effectively with both government clients and the private sector. Wherever possible, our projects propose use of sustainable technologies and systems to reduce energy consumption, manage water cycling on site, reduce maintenance costs and minimise effects which damage the natural environment.
mcgregor+partners offer creativity and contemporary design thinking whilst achieving all the budgetary and programmatic requirements of our projects. The awards and competitions the firm has won over the past years is evidence of our commitment to design excellence and ecologically sustainable development.

I have to say that I like this powder. The concept is good, using powder to absorb oil in problem areas. My nose is my problem. You are supposed to place a wet cotton ball into the powder and apply it to the skin. At first I thought that putting a wet object into the powder would 'mess up' the remaining product and make a mess. It does not. I have placed wet cotton into the jar and none of the remaining powder is effected, clumped or ruined. You need to apply just a little though. If you go overboard and use to much, especially on your nose, each time you breath out, white powder 'blows' out. I have used the powder 5 times now and I have noticed a difference. Clogged pores have been reduced and nose is less oily overall. I highly recommend it!

This stuff is amazing. I have used it only twice now. The second time in conjuction with a biore nose strip. I have NEVER gotten as many blackheads out of my nose before (using just the biore strips). It was pretty gross, but truly amazing. The entire strip was full. I could see after taking the mask off that many of my blackheads appeared to have risen out of the pore, so I figured I would just plop one on and see what happens. It was amazing. Almost every single blackhead came out. I have not noticed that my other blackheads on the rest of my face have gone yet, but I have only used it twice. I will continue to use 3 times a week. Probably with the biore strips just to get a good intial cleaning. I suspect that this will do a pretty good job of keeping the blackheads at bay after that. This also does wonders in keeping my super oily skin at bay. I don't seem to be producing nearly as much. I love the whole Mario Badescu oily skin line... great stuff and totally worth a try. They sell it at ULTA, or order the free samples from their website first. I am super happy with this line. Made me say goodbye to Origins :)

I just bought this product yesterday and tested it out last night, and i can certainly say that this product did wonders for my blackheads. I have spent years trying to get rid of these pesky blackhead around my nose, and finally i stumbled across something that really works. I heard that the glue from the strips actually creates more blackheads, and it is true after i started using the strips some 12 years ago my pores got larger and blackheads galore. I stopped using it immediately but nothing would remove it except this stuff.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Red, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
i have tried just about everything over the years to get rid of the stubborn blackheads on my nose, and this is the ONLY thing that has ever worked significantly. its a pain to apply, super messy and hard to remove, but it works, so i can't complain. i use it about once a week (and now all over my face, not just on my nose) and it cleans everything out of my pores. amazing stuff. definitely worth a try.
edit// i found an easier, less messy way to apply this. i pour a little in my hand (but you could pour it in a dish or something, but i hate to waste product) and sprinkle just enough water on it to make a paste and apply that to my face directly. this way i don't get dry little white powder flake all over, and it applies much more evenly than the way the directions say.

Skin: Oily, Fair, Cool

I use this for spot treating pimples and it work phenomenally! I take a q-tip, run one side under water, stink in the the powder, and apply to my face. Usually I sleep with it on and it rubs off over night, but you definitely won't have that pimple in the morning! One night, I felt a huge pimple coming. The ones that really REALLY hurt, yaknow? So I took some of this stuff, put it on, and bam! The area was spotless! :D :D Love love love!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure

I think it does not really clean my pores thoroughly, but instead just whitens them up. I use it in combination with other stuff to clear them up first and then whiten them up a bit for a cleaner look.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I like this product because it srinks my pores, and so it reduces my oil. The only thing I would say about this product it that it's hard to put on and take off, but I think it's worth it.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Other, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Other, Other

I've been using Silver Powder for two weeks now, twice a week and have been impressed.
I have very large, clogged pores on my nose and have tried all sorts of treatments with limited success.
My biggest criticism of the powder is how messy it is to apply (be really careful not to spill it as it takes forever to clear up!), however I think the results are worth it. Taking advice from other reviewers I apply the powder then use a pore strip to help extract the gunk.
The pore strips remove about 40% more gunk than before and when I look in a magnifying mirror afterwards I can definitely see the difference.
After two weeks my pores are looking a lot better. I still have blackheads and blocked pores, but there are definitely fewer of them and overall the skin on my nose is looking a lot clearer.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This product really dod nothing for me. To minamize any mess and flaking I put some of the powder in the lid then applied it with a wet q-tip. I left it on for 10-15 minutes then removed it. It didn't really unclog my pores (my pores aren't very big so that might have had something to do with it), it did however brighten my skin. Now mu hubby has blackheads visably and he tried it. We noticed an immediate difference in his face. We were so excited, until we noticed hours later his skin looked exactly the same BEFORE he used the powder. End result, the effects only lasted a few hours.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Sensitive, Dark, Cool
Hair: Black, Kinky, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Not the worst product but it was just not for me. Personally I find the application a bit too messy for my taste and the idea of wetting a cotton round or ball seems like an invitation for bacteria growth but I could be wrong. I think the Special Healing powder is a better option for me.

The innate immune system senses viral infection by recognizing a variety of viral components (including double-stranded (ds)RNA) and triggers antiviral responses. The cytoplasmic helicase proteins RIG-I (retinoic-acid-inducible protein I, also known as Ddx58) and MDA5 (melanoma-differentiation-associated gene 5, also known as Ifih1 or Helicard) have been implicated in viral dsRNA recognition. In vitro studies suggest that both RIG-I and MDA5 detect RNA viruses and polyinosine-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)), a synthetic dsRNA analogue. Although a critical role for RIG-I in the recognition of several RNA viruses has been clarified, the functional role of MDA5 and the relationship between these dsRNA detectors in vivo are yet to be determined. Here we use mice deficient in MDA5 (MDA5-/-) to show that MDA5 and RIG-I recognize different types of dsRNAs: MDA5 recognizes poly(I:C), and RIG-I detects in vitro transcribed dsRNAs. RNA viruses are also differentially recognized by RIG-I and MDA5. We find that RIG-I is essential for the production of interferons in response to RNA viruses including paramyxoviruses, influenza virus and Japanese encephalitis virus, whereas MDA5 is critical for picornavirus detection. Furthermore, RIG-I-/- and MDA5-/- mice are highly susceptible to infection with these respective RNA viruses compared to control mice. Together, our data show that RIG-I and MDA5 distinguish different RNA viruses and are critical for host antiviral responses.

Trends in Prescription Drug Spending Leading Up to Health Reform (Article) Fredric Blavin, Timothy Waidmann, Linda J. Blumberg, Jeremy Roth Over the past decade, prescription drug expenditures grew faster than any other service category and comprised an increasing share of per capita health spending. Using the 2005 and 2009 Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys, this analysis identifies the sources of spending growth for prescription drugs among the nonelderly population. We find that prescription drug expenditures among the nonelderly increased by $14.9 billion (9.2%) from 2005 to 2009 and expenditures increased in 12 out of the 16 therapeutic classes. Changes in the number of users and expenditures per fill were the drivers of spending fluctuations in these categories. The main results also provide insight into generic entry, the price gap between brand and generic drugs, and from a health reform evaluation perspective, the importance of separating pre-policy secular trends in expenditures from changes attributable to specific forces, such as shifts toward generic versions of blockbuster drugs.
Wide Variation in Medical Loss Ratios within States In 2010 Suggests the Affordable Care Act's Standards Could Lead to Higher Value Insurance Options (Article) Lisa Clemans-Cope, Linda J. Blumberg, Stephen Zuckerman, Jeremy Roth Medical loss ratios in the individual health insurance market varied widely by state in 2010, but group markets varied less. During 2010, prior to the enforcement of the ACA's new federal standards, insurers with low medical loss ratios dominated coverage in the individual market in more than one-third of states, and smaller insurers had lower medical loss ratios than larger insurers. States that regulated loss ratios and premiums in 2010 generally had higher average medical loss ratios. Findings suggest that the new federal standards could support a transition to higher value choices in many state markets.
The Basic Health Program in Utah (Research Report) Matthew Buettgens, Stan Dorn, Jeremy Roth, Caitlin Carroll Using the American Community Survey augmented with results from the Urban Institute's Health Insurance Policy Simulation Model, we estimated eligibility, enrollment, and costs for a Basic Health Program (BHP) for Utah under the Affordable Care Act. We find that 55,000 Utahns would qualify for BHP; between 31,000 and 41,000 would likely enroll. Federal BHP payments would likely exceed state costs, with the amount depending on BHP plan cost sharing. BHP would reduce the size of the nongroup exchange by about a quarter, leaving about 120,000 covered lives.
Massachusetts under the Affordable Care Act: Employer-Related Issues and Policy Options (Research Report) Fredric Blavin, Linda J. Blumberg, Matthew Buettgens, Jeremy Roth Using the Health Insurance Policy Simulation Model, this report analyzes four policy options for assessing employers who do not provide affordable health insurance to their workers as Massachusetts brings its health reform law into compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Overall coverage and costs are similar across all options, but replacing the state's Fair Share Contribution (FSC) requirement with the ACA assessment would eliminate a source of state revenue. Similarly, maintaining the FSC for small employers only would raise one-fifth as much revenue as leaving the current assessment in place.
The Coverage and Cost Effects of Implementation of the Affordable Care Act in New York State (Research Report) Fredric Blavin, Linda J. Blumberg, Matthew Buettgens, Jeremy Roth The Affordable Care Act provides states with the opportunity to develop health benefit exchanges – structured marketplaces for the purchase of health insurance coverage by small employers and individual purchasers. The law provides an array of design choices to the states in an effort to allow the exchanges to reflect varying preferences across the country. This analysis uses the Health Insurance Policy Simulation Model (HIPSM) to delineate the cost and coverage implications of a standard implementation of the ACA in New York compared to the no reform case, along with the differential effects of a number of alternative design options.
State Progress Toward Health Reform Implementation: Slower Moving States Have Much to Gain (Research Report) Fredric Blavin, Matthew Buettgens, Jeremy Roth We use the Health Insurance Policy Simulation Model to explore the correlations between a state's progress toward implementing the Affordable Care Act and the anticipated benefits of the reform for state residents, as measured by the expected state gains in insurance coverage and federal subsidies. We group states in three categories based on the status of legislative action and the receipt of level 1 federal establishment grants. We find that states that have made the least progress in establishing health insurance exchanges are in general those that have the largest potential gains in coverage and federal subsidy dollars per capita.

A mother's journey to the farm houses and orchards of Vermont — not quite the cowboys of Western novels.
"We had a representative from each country — South Africa, Brazil, Peru," said Mom. "They train you for living in America."
The idea seems simple enough, but it was rather daunting. One of her assignments was called "The Drop-Off." This is an exercise developed by the school for international training. They dropped my mom in a small town in New Hampshire with a quarter and drove away.
"They just drop you! I was in sari at that time, you know," she said with her eyes wide. Mom was supposed to find out all about small town life — how people live, what they do. Yet she had no idea what to do, she felt just awkward and lost. Then she got an idea — everybody has to buy food, even in America. "The grocery store!" she whispers still excited by her cultural survival epiphany.
So she went into the corner grocery and walked up to the owner at the counter and said: "Listen, I don't know what to do, but I'm supposed to find out all about this — about you."
When the grocer found out she was from the School of International Training he got excited. "My wife loves that place," he said. He called up his wife and she took my Mom to her house. To her first American home. When they walked in the door, my mother got a big shock. She asked her hostess, "Is that a TV?" It was 1971, and my mother had never seen a television. "I had heard about it, but I had never seen one," she said, "It was all fuzzy."
And that's when it hit me. There I was, moving to Argentina. I had never been there before, but I had read a million things about the country online. I had been in touch with people before I landed via email and Skype. I had craiglisted an apartment and could even get satellite images of the streets in my neighborhood-to-be from space. Yet when my mom landed in the U.S., it was like landing from space. Or in space for that matter.
People tell me it's brave to have moved to a different country, but in so many ways it's not. Not compared to how it used to be. Before the internet, before television even. Back when all you had was your imagination. My mom was so much braver than I imagined, long before she was my mom.

The moral cost of video games
Violence is bad enough. But here's the worst part.
In the controversial new video game "Manhunt 2," you're required to sneak up behind innocent victims, hit them over the head with a garden spade and then use that same weapon to decapitate, them. The whole thing is pretty graphic, because the game has, well, pretty graphics. As blood gushes, you're supposed to feel satisfied that you're ready for the next challenge.
To some, this scenario captures everything wrong about video games. "They're too violent," detractors say. "And they glamorize violence. Children might be tempted to copy them." While this is an understandable concern, it misses more obvious problems with many video games today: primarily, an utter lack of moral consequence.
Countless studies have tested the alleged links between virtual violence and its real counterpart. Conclusions vary, but I certainly don't need a panel of academics to explain to me that the teen across the street isn't going to attack me with a garden spade.
Still, if you're a parent, the sheer intensity of violence in many games today ought to be a valid concern. You wouldn't let your children view online pornography, so why let them decapitate people in a video game?
Yet many parents buy their children games rated inappropriate for anyone under 17. Why? Perhaps it's a hangover attitude from the "Pac-Man" past, when all video games were presumed to be harmless fun. Or maybe they just want their kids to think they're cool. Whatever the reason, there's clearly a disconnect between the level of parental angst and parental tolerance.

Lady Gaga Declares Herself 'Queen of the Universe' While Under Oath
Singer calls her litigious former assistant O'Neill a "fucking hood rat" in very unladylike deposition
Well, she does very much resemble a Bond villain, so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that court documents have come to light revealing that Lady Gaga considers herself to be the queen of the universe. (Sadly, Gaga, the Internet would disagree.) The woman who also calls herself Mother Monster (could it be more obvious?) is currently being sued for unpaid overtime by her former assistant Jennifer O'Neill, who alleges that she's owed $393,000, plus damages, for 7,168 hours.
Gaga's retort? As reported by the Post, Stefani Germanotta has adopted the "hood rat" defense, whose precedent can be found in every daytime TV court show ever. "[O'Neill is as] fucking hood rat who is suing me for money that she didn't earn ... She thinks she's just, like, the queen of the universe ... And, you know what, she didn't want to be a slave to one, because in my work and what I do, I'm the queen of the universe every day."
Way to keep it classist, Gags. The above quotes, and all of the batshit ones that shall follow, were taken from the Lady's videotaped August 6 deposition on the matter, in which she explained: that she doesn't pay any of her employees overtime; that O'Neill was well aware of this fact; that though her assistants need to be available around the clock, their daily work amounts to about eight hours; and that the perks of the job make up for this.
For instance: "She slept in Egyptian cotton sheets every night, in five-star hotels, on private planes, eating caviar, partying with [photographer] Terry Richardson all night, wearing my clothes, asking YSL [Yves Saint Laurent] to send her free shoes without my permission, using my YSL discount without my permission ... It is, like, such an amazing luxury that I get to travel the world and have planes, she doesn't even see what a luxury it is."
Gaga explained that the night before she bought her workers a "beautiful $3,000 meal" at Spiaggia in Chicago because, "they were on their day off, and they all just wanted to be with me." Also, "I'm quite wonderful to everybody that works for me, and I am completely aghast to what a disgusting human being that you have become to sue me like this," she said to O'Neill, who'd she'd also just accused of staring at her "like a witch this whole time."
She also had complaints about services rendered by the assistant, who was being paid $75,000 per year. "She would only open a couple of bags, and it was very stressful for me ... because, you know, I weigh 115 pounds, and I was trying to move these huge, big luggages all by myself in the room ... by the way, she was asleep until 12:00 most of the time, so I was very often waking up and moving my own luggage and doing shit by myself."
And: While others "would, like, set up my room, and I would know where my clothes were, I would know where my toothbrush was, I would know where my soap and everything was, [O'Neill] got lazy — she didn't always do those things for me ... I can't walk down the street and go buy myself toiletries, I have to call security, I've got to call Jen or now I've got to call Wendi, I've got to get a whole bunch of people together to help me fix the problem."
Who can't identify with that? It's the little things, you know.

Today I enjoyed a yummy breakfast with my window treatment seamstress extraordinaire, Linda Murphy.
You know how I am always pushing you to sample your paint color at home because of how different it will look in your space? Linda and I discussed today how the same principles apply to fabric; how fabrics can look so different in your home with your lighting, wall colors, trim and other fabrics in room. It can transform the look of the fabric than what you see on a bolt of fabric in the store.
Image File
I will be the first to admit I am no genius when it comes to window treatments. I know what looks good and I can tell if they were custom made or JC Penny made. I of course keep up with the latest designs and where they are headed. Color has a lot of do with window treatments also. You can't have beautiful window treatments using ugly fabric and colors. That is why I always call in the experts,since they know what fabric will work with which treatments best.
I realize the biggest detriment to custom treatments is the cost. But besides the fabric making the whole room look finished, there are other benefits to having window treatments. these include year round insulation, combination of controlling light, providing privacy, insulating and/or decorating. Drapery can also add drama and warmth.
And my favorite part of hiring an expert- having someone come into your home, measuring, giving great ideas and suggestion and after completing them, installing in your home to look fabulous for years to come. Love that!
Some other interesting subjects we discussed was that silk panels are still strong. Just take a look in the new fall catalogs, Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware to name just a couple.
I was very surprised when Linda said that she has seen cafe curtains coming back!
No, the new ones look nothing like the outdated ones I had shown on the Top 10 List of Items Still Found in Homes Today. The current window treatment books show a lot of sheer cafe's either to the floor or just a 3/4″ cafe with or without valance on decorative pole with rings. Very sharp looking. I found cafe style at Pottery Barn (see above photo) but not Restoration Hardware. Found some not so nice at Target, none at Macy's. What do you think of cafe curtains? Am I allowed to say that I like the bottom panel but not the top? Who says I have to use together?
If cost was not an issue, not even part of the equation,would you hire a window treatment expert to dress your windows for you?
If you need help with your window treatments or other decorating dilemmas, contact me today.

Press Release |
Man Suffers Heart Attack Clearing Driveway; Transported to Heart Institute by Snowmobilers Cardiac catheterization team performs emergency stent procedure STONY BROOK, N.Y., February 15, 2013 – Thomas Monaghan had only gone about 10 feet in clearing his driveway of snow the morning after Blizzard Nemo when he felt enormous crushing chest pain. As someone who had experienced a heart attack previously, he knew what was happening. He was having another one. The 44-year-old resident of East Setauket, N.Y., stumbled back to his house. His wife, Margaret, a former cardiac nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital, saw him vomiting. She immediately called 911, gave him an aspirin and nitroglycerin. Then they waited for an ambulance to come. On this day, though, with nearly 30 inches of snow on the ground, the ambulance could get no closer than a mile to his home. But through a series of events, Thomas soon found himself strapped to a "stokes stretcher" – the type of basket used to airlift patients into helicopters – and transported via snowmobile to the waiting ambulance. First to arrive on the scene were two Setauket Fire Department volunteers, including one who lived nearby and heard the call for assistance over his radio scanner. Soon other fire and EMS workers were also on the scene. The crews loaded Monaghan into the basket and began the long trudge to the ambulance. But then, seemingly out of nowhere, two snowmobilers stopped to assist. "How often do you see snowmobiles in Setauket?" mused Monaghan, who still does not know the names of the Good Samaritans who came to his rescue. Once Monaghan got to the ambulance, he was quickly transported to the Emergency Department at Stony Brook University Hospital, and whisked to the cardiac catheterization laboratory. He received stents to relieve two blocked arteries. "They were ready in two minutes and two seconds," Monaghan said of the cardiac catheterization team at Stony Brook University Heart Institute. "And the relief I felt was immediate. It was phenomenal." His catheterization was performed by Anil Mani, MD, FACC, Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine, and Associate Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at the Heart Institute. An executive with Cablevision Systems Corp. in Bethpage, NY, Monaghan said he would not be alive today if his wife was not a cardiac nurse. And thanks to the timely response of EMS and Fire Department personnel, combined with the timely appearance of two snowmobilers and an expert cardiac catheterization team, he is back home recovering with his wife and five children. ### About Stony Brook University Heart Institute: |

Chennai/Mumbai: The Chennai Super Kings' claim that Gurunath Meiyappan had no link with the team has been nailed. CNN-IBN has accessed visiting cards recovered from Gurunath Meiyappan's residence naming him as the Chennai Super Kings Team Principal.
This came even as BCCI chief N Srinivasan claimed Gurunath Meiyappan wasn't the owner or the Team Principal. Police sources also say that there are several other items found during the raid that link Meiyappan to the IPL team.
Sources say the police recovered 365 CSK envelopes, 190 visiting cards, 1400 stickers with CSK logo, one desk diary, black in colour with CSK logo along with CSK players' list, IPL auction list of 2010 and t-shirts with CSK logo. There is also footage from an IPL workshop in 2009 which shows Meiyappan addressing the conclave as the owner of the Chennai IPL franchise.
Meanwhile, sources say the police raids at Meiyappan's Chennai are expected to continue as the police are trying to recover some electronic items.
A Chennai hotelier with betting links has also been named by both actor Vindoo Dara Singh and BCCI chief N Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan. Sources say this has been corroborated by Meiyappan and that the hotelier is also a key link to some Bollywood celebrities.
A Mumbai Police team conducted a search at Gurunath Meiyappan's residence in Chennai on Sunday. Police teams were seen taking away packets of documents from his residence.
Meanwhile, according to Crime branch sources, Meiyappan told the investigators that it was Vindoo who introduced him to betting. Police also collected Meiyappan's voice sample for verification of his alleged telephonic conversations with Vindoo. "Meiyappan and Vindoo were today made to sit face-to-face and were questioned," a senior Crime branch official said.
The BCCI has suspended N Srinivasan's son-in-law for any involvement in connection with the spot fixing controversy. Meiyappan is in police custody till May 29 over his alleged links to spot-fixing in the IPL.
On May 23, a Mumbai police team served summons on Meiyappan at his residence in connection with the spot fixing controversy. Meiyappan was in Kodaikanal at that time and the summons was received by his staff on his behalf.
Meiyappan has been linked to Bollywood actor Vindoo Dara Singh, arrested earlier for links with bookies who are accused of manipulating IPL matches using inside information from tainted players and others.
Trying to ring fence CSK from the risk of its licence getting terminated, India Cements Ltd on May 24 issued a statement that Meiyappan is not the owner/CEO/team principal of IPL franchise, ostensibly to distance CSK from him and his actions.
However, the company did not issue any such statements when the media for the past several years called him the "team principal" or the owner of CSK.

The Ceney Family TreeUpdated September 10, 2008 |
My name is Alison Mary Jones (nee Ceney) and I was born in West Bromwich, West Midlands, England. I have always been curious about my past. I think most people are. It was only around the year 2000 that I decided to explore who my Ancestors really were. First of all I found out from my parents who their Parents were. This was the easy part and might have been easier had my Grandparents still been alive so I could ask them lots of questions. My oldest relatives are my Aunty Ivy and Uncle Jack, so I have found out quite a lot from them. To reinforce my knowledge and prove that family members have existed, I have gathered together Birth, Death and Marriage Certificates in the Portfolio that I have created. Also a lot of old photographs. I have found the Internet a useful source of information. Subscribing to www.ancestry.co.uk has enable me to make some interesting discoveries. It was through this website that I made contact with a member of my family Josephine. Her Grandfather was my Great Grandfather's brother. We keep in touch via email. I also received communication from an elderly lady in the US called Florence. She is into genealogy in a very big way and has sent me some valuable information to add to the Ceney Family Tree. Her Great Grandfather was a Son of my Great Great Great Grandparents. More recently I have had contact with Pam from the US and also another lady by the name of Gayle Every day something new can be found in my persistent search to find every missing piece of the jigsaw. I have Family Tree software for my computer, that has enabled me to record dates etc. After keying in all the information I know, this has had the ability of creating a Family Tree, therefore making it easy for me to see exactly where I am in my family in relation to all the other members. |

Jund al Khilafah confirms 5 members killed in Kazakhstan clash
Jund al Khilafah, or Soldiers of the Caliphate, a Kazakh terror group based in eastern Afghanistan and Pakistan's tribal areas, confirmed that five of its fighters were killed during a clash with police in southern Kazakhstan on Dec. 3. From the statement released by the group, which has been translated by the SITE Intelligence Group:
On Saturday, the third of December ... the apostate forces of the Nazarbayev regime attacked a headquarters where five of the lions of the al Zahir Baibars Battalion were gathered from Jund al Khilafah, may Allah grant them glory, in the village of Boraldai. Then, the attacking forces surprised the lions of Islam, and the heroes stood to them while demonstrating patience, anticipating the divine reward, being certain of Allah's promise, and longing to meet Him. They sent two of them to their ominous fate and killed them... and as a result, the forces of treachery surrounded the location and bombed it for four hours with various shells, which led to the martyrdom of the five brothers ...
Jund al Khilafah also said it was "ready to be killed in the thousands in order to support this religion, and losing our lives in a cheap price that we offer for this cause," and threatened Russia for calling for "the repression of the Kazakh people."
Jund al Khilafah has claimed credit for two attacks in Kazakhstan this fall, and has also released two videos of attacks against ISAF forces in Khost province, Afghanistan. For more information on the Jund al Khilafah, see LWJ report, Kazakh jihadi leader seeks restoration of Islamic caliphate.

Quoted from 815 He has to have his mind step in now. It's up to his mind to heal his body. He's doing all he can with the food department. I read of a guy who had liver cancer. Doctor gave him 2 months to live. He decided he wasn't ready to die. The patient started visualization for 2 hours every day... the antibodies in his body..as dragons... swooping down and destroying the cancer cells in his liver. Visualizing the destruction of the cancer and being replaced by healthy cells. He went back to the doctor in 2 months time and they tested him. There was no trace of cancer ever being there. The power of the mind. He needs to believe....
Quoted from Amazone I. ..... but he has problems to change his mind/psyche pattersn, he still ist the angry overlaoded one- and he nearly seems not to be able to change anything here.... so far that he's also on antidepressants... and I think all those chemical bombes are harming muchmore then expected.... I also tried to work with him onto the Louise Hay booklets etc... but nothing to do here, his *self-approch* seems to be disturbed.... but I'm going togive another try and will talk about your suggestions with him... thanx again

Gawad Kalinga has grown to be a movement of nation-building because it dared to hope amidst an environment of cynicism. In a country known for its corruption and its poverty, Gawad Kalinga is awakening and inspiring heroism in people beaten down by disasters of history, politics and natural calamities. GK presents a unique perspective on poverty:
Poverty is a behavioral problem with economic consequences.
The problem of poverty is not about a lack of money as much as it is a loss of human dignity.
The poor may not have steady financial resources to support their basic needs but what permanently cripples them the most, disabling them from rising from poverty, is the loss of human dignity. Once stripped of their dignity -- forced to live in conditions quite close to that of a pig pen, people start to live like pigs. It is then that standards of living decline, value systems crumble and chaos rules. Moreover, they lose their capacity to dream and work towards achieving their dreams.
Poverty is most debilitating to the men who are reduced to living like animals (becoming predators) when they are de-humanized and stripped of their natural male nobility.
Men, by their very nature, are meant to be hunters and protectors of their families and, most especially in the Philippines, men are expected by society to be the providers. Caught in the cycle of poverty and being unable to deliver as he is expected to, Filipino men lose motivation to be productive members of society and instead turn towards vices of drinking, gambling, mendicancy and some, even turn to a life of violence to regain their primacy over society.
The cycle of poverty is rooted in the divisiveness of our nation.
The Filipinos are an intelligent and talented people but most have been pursuing the path of individual gain and achievement without a conscious effort to work for the common good. For decades now politics, religion, socio-economic class and ideology have divided the country. Further, driven by ambition, self-interest, pride and the need to provide for their children and their family beyond their need, those who have material wealth have turned a blind eye to a great many others who are in need. The Filipino has lost his inherent culture of bayanihan, its culture of working together as a community for the greater good.
That is why GK's attack to poverty is quite revolutionary. It does not address poverty through a purely financial solution. It addresses poverty through environmental and social engineering. And more than being a non-profit or charity organization,
Gawad Kalinga is a movement of nation-building.
GK focuses on the restoration of the dignity of the poor by building colorful GK homes in beautiful communities.
From flimsy shanties of bleak grey rusted iron sheets, motley brown used plyboards and tattered tarpaulins and plastic, GK builds for the poor sturdy structures painted in bright colors of hope. From unsanitary surroundings, GK brings them to clean, beautifully landscaped communities. From bare survival in structures akin to pig pens and chicken coops the poor now turn to a quality of life equal to upscale subdivisions. By providing them with a middle-class environment the poor start to have middle-class dreams and aspirations to work for.
Where most interventions target women and children, for GK the initial intervention is through the men.
GK raises the men to their inherent nobility and productivity by getting them to build homes for their family and for their community. GK puts man's natural brawn to good use – turning him away from destructive activities in society and instead leading him towards building for his neighbor.
The success of a GK community is hinged on the improved quality of life of the entire community rather than the economic or material standards of living of an individual.
Through its various programs, GK aims to renew the culture of bayanihan in its communities. GK breaks the current culture of individual gain and instead envisions a strong united community that builds together, plants together, harvests together and rises together – believing that no one will be left behind.
Through GK, Filipinos and people of all faiths and races are transcending differences to come together for nation-building. GK unites by not discriminating in terms of politics, religion or ideology. In Mindanao, GK has forged friendships and partnerships in various communities where Christians, Muslims and lumads build together, live together and rise together. Breaking out of the usual fund-raising mentality, GK focuses on building strong partnerships. In GK, everyone is welcomed not as a donor but as a key stakeholder… a committed and passionate partner in re-building the nation. Through a creative formula of counterparting, GK has been able to forge strong multi-sectoral partnerships that bring together individual resources (financial, human and extraordinary) to effectively fill in gaps. In the model of Kalinga Luzon, the national government through National Disaster Coordinating Council and the Department of Social Welfare and Development provided a 50/50 share of the funds with GK for the construction of homes. The local government secured the land, provided site development and the use of heavy equipment. Other groups come in to drive the programs on-ground.

This has been a pretty diverse week in terms of fashion trends, surprises and more! With a few redeemed celebs and a few newly impressive fashionistas, the time has come to vote for who YOU think was best dressed of the week.
Mila Kunis, 29, looked like her typical stylish self while at the Feb. 28. premiere for her new movie Oz: The Great and Powerful in London, England. Sporting an Alexander McQueen tiered gown in a neutral shade, the actress looked very sweet and innocent. Polishing of her look with some smoothed out tresses, Mila looked enchanting and simply fabulous as she posed for the photogs.
Following in the neutral shade category, Kristen Stewart, 22, looked absolutely miraculous! I must admit I was very surprised with the dress, but to say the least, I was super impressed! K-stew is not usually too stylish while attending events, but at the Academy Awards, held on Feb. 24, the Breaking Dawn star wore a Reem Acra gown that was super fitted and insanely chic! Kristen challenged the dress by wearing second day hair with a very loose wave at the ends. To make matters even more exciting, the star arrived on CRUTCHES! She looked very elegant while going at a glacial pace down the carpet, stopping and posing for photographers like an all-time pro. Jennifer Lawrence, 22, also looked like a work of art while gliding down the infamous Oscar's red carpet. Wearing a pale pink Christian Dior gown, Jennifer looked absolutely flawless. She might have tripped while going to accept her award but no worries, Jen did not get a single hair out of place from that posh up-do! Jennifer still has our vote for best dressed this week!
Lastly, the gorgeous Nina Dobrev, 24, simply glowed while attending Elton John's AIDS Foundation Oscar party. The Vampire Diaries starlet simply glowed in this black and white creation by Naeem Khan. The gown fit Nina perfectly, giving her a very classy feel to this sophisticated look. The actress is one who always impresses with her fashion sense everywhere that she goes!
Nice work, ladies!
HollywoodLifers, VOTE for who you think was BEST dressed this week!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Emma Clarke (born 1971) is a writer of comedy and drama scripts and an award-winning voice-over artist, best known as the voice of the automated messages on the Bakerloo, Central and District lines of the London Underground. Most of her voice-over work have also been used in television commercials and radio imaging outside the United Kingdom, notably in the Netherlands, Australia and the United States.
Born and raised in Sale, Greater Manchester, she started a theatre company aged 17 which specialised in business training for businesses and services organisations in both the public and private sector.[1] On graduation she started working for BBC Light Entertainment, writing, reading and performing poetry, prose and drama. Featured mainly on BBC Radio 4, every play or sit-com written for radio has been featured on Radio 4's Pick of the Week.[citation needed]
After her father spotted an advert looking for voice over artists in the Sale and Altrincham Messenger, after initially failing her first interview she studied the art for two years before gaining her first paid work.[1]
In 1998, she was approached by a media company representing one of the three companies that operated parts of the London Underground, who were looking for a replacement automated customer announcer. After an 18 month period, where her voice in focus group testing was dubbed "Marilyn", in 1999 she was awarded a contract to produce customer announcements.[1] In 2007, she achieved widespread public attention when, as a result of adding spoof announcements – cleared by London Underground – to her website, she attracted the attention of a Mail on Sunday newspaper reporter who interviewed her and published an article which denigrated her employer. Despite rumours circulating that she had been dismissed from service,[2] London Underground continues to record and use her voice.[citation needed]
Her other clients include the BBC, Gillette, Virgin, Classic FM, Homebase and "3" mobile phones.[3][4] Along with her solo work, she works through, and is the managing director of, Just Add Voice, a company which provides voice-over tracks.[3]
Clarke, her husband and their two children live in Altrincham.[1]

Registration Services
Self-Enrollment Information for Fall 2015
- The registration appointment period for Fall 2015 will begin on March 20, for veteran students, and on March 23 for all other students. In all cases, the appointment period runs through through April 3, 2015, to be followed by open enrollment from April 4, 2015 through August 28, 2015. The University Registrar assigns each student an appointment. Once your appointment time arrives, you can register for courses. You can also adjust your schedule and add and drop courses. You DO NOT need to wait for the open enrollment period to adjust your schedule unless you want to add courses that are not available to students in your class during the registration appointment period. (See "Registration Guidelines," below, for an explanation of enrollment priorities and restrictions.)
Open enrollment will begin on Saturday, April 4, 2015, and end on Friday, August 28, 2015 (the end of the first week of class). During open enrollment, all courses except for those requiring departmental consent will be open to all Law students for self-enrollment for the remainder of the enrollment period.
With self-enrollment, you will know immediately after you submit your selections whether or not you have been placed in a course.
Below is information you will need to know in order to register for the spring term. Please review the materials and familiarize yourself with the information so you are prepared to register for courses once your appointment time has arrived. There is no formal training for self-enrollment. Therefore, you should make sure you have reviewed and fully understand all the materials and procedures discussed below before registration begins. Please read all the information on this page before you proceed to review the University documents.
Course Lists & Class Schedule
Course lists are available on both the Law school web pages and the University Registrar's web page. The Law School's web pages provide more detailed information, as described below, but the University Schedule of Classes list contains the basic information you will need to register for courses. The University Schedule of Classes for the fall term is currently being updated and will be available March 9, 2015. The Law School's web pages are also being updated and will be completed by the registration appointment period.
Click on the University Registrar page, click on the 2161 Time Schedule of Classes. Courses are listed in the University Schedule by department and then are listed in numerical order by the 4-digit Catalog Number. Please make sure you are registering for the JD (Law- begins with leading digit '5')offering of the course and not the MSL (Graduate Course- begins with leading digit '2') offering. If you do a class search in PeopleSoft, make sure to enter "Law" as the course subject and "Law" as the career. In adding both Law as the subject and the Law career, you will get the JD course offering results. If you only use Law as the course subject, you will get the first occurrence of courses in PeopleSoft which are the MSL course offerings. If you attempt to register for the MSL offering of the course, you will get an error message telling you that the course is out of your career and you will need permission to register for it. The scheduled meeting times for classes can also be found there; the University updates the schedule daily during registration. The meeting days and times are also listed in this schedule. The room assignments are also posted in the University Time Schedule as well as the Law School Schedule of Classes.
You can search for details on a specific course (including the description, and prerequisites) by using the Class Search on the University Registrar's web page:
Log into my.pitt.edu. Click on Student Services > Link to Student Center > Self Service > Student Center. Click on the green "Search for Classes" box on the right side of the screen.
The Law School course list contains more detailed information, such as course type for registration priority; exam and grading methods; and in some cases, additional information from the instructor. You can access that list here:
The Enrollment Worksheet can help you organize your class schedule prior to registration. You can print an enrollment worksheet here:
ADV Holds
In the University documents regarding self-enrollment, references will be made to Advisement (ADV) Holds. The Law School has NOT placed these holds on most students' records. The exceptions to this are:
- Joint degree students. All joint degree students will have ADV holds on their records. Before joint degree students can register for classes, they must come to the Law School Registrar's Office to have the ADV hold lifted before their scheduled appointment time begins.
- Undergraduate transcripts. First-year students who have not submitted their official undergraduate transcript to the Law School as required by the ABA, will have ADV holds placed on their account until we receive the document.
- Mandatory bar exam preparation session. Students who fail to attend the mandatory bar exam preparation session will have ADV holds placed on their account until such time as they meet with Rob Wible to receive the information conveyed at that session.
Registration Guidelines
During the registration appointment period (beginning March 20 for veteran students, and beginning March 23 for all other students – April 3), eligible second- and third-year students can register for courses according to the following priorities. The priorities apply to all students, including veterans and joint degree students. Veteran students and students who participate in a joint degree program do not receive course preference for registration. (priority course types are defined below):
- Third-year students can register for limited enrollment courses (3L priority) and general enrollment courses
- Second-year students can register for core courses (2L priority) and general enrollment courses
- No student can register for a course that is flagged as departmental consent without receiving a permission number from the Law School Registrar's Office.
After you have selected your courses and completed your Enrollment Worksheet you will be ready to self-enroll for classes.
Open Enrollment
On Saturday, April 4, the registration appointment times end and all courses will be open to all second-and third-year students for the remainder of the registration period which runs through the end of the first week of classes. From April 4, 2015 through August 28, 2015 (anytime of the day or night when the system is available) students can adjust their schedules and add any open course or drop any course.
Credit Limits
A Law student may register for up to but no more than 18 credits. The University's standard 15-credit limit for graduate level students does not apply to Law students. To insure that they stay within the 18-credit limit, students should take into account those courses for which they cannot self register (i.e., Journal credits, Independent Study credits, Moot Court credits). ABA guidelines prohibit students from enrolling in more than 18 credits of coursework per semester, and the Deans' Office has no authority to grant exceptions.
Credits for non-law courses that WILL count toward the JD degree WILL count towards the 18-credit limit. Credits for non-law courses that will NOT count towards the JD degree WILL NOT count towards the limit.
In the case of joint degree students who are primary registered in the Law School during a semester, the 18-credit limit will be applied to (i) all law courses, (ii) any non-law courses that are specifically counted toward the JD degree (e.g., non-law courses taken to satisfy the requirements of a Law School certificate program), and (iii) any courses specifically required to be taken by the joint degree partner school as part of its degree program. Non-law elective courses taken to satisfy the degree requirements of the joint degree partner school will NOT count toward the 18-credit limit. For this purpose, non-law elective courses include courses taken to satisfy a joint degree partner school requirement that students take a certain number of credits or courses from among a range of different courses (as opposed to being required to take a certain, specifically identified course).
Course Types
Courses in the Law School inventory are indentified as one of the following:
Limited Enrollment: Third-Year priority
Core Courses: Second-Year priority. Core courses include Business Organizations, Criminal Procedure, Estates & Trusts, Evidence, and Federal Income Tax.
General Enrollment: Open to ALL registering students with no priority
Departmental Consent: Courses that require special permission for enrollment; a permission number (see below) for registration must be obtained from the Law School Registrar's Office.
Permission Numbers
In order to register for those classes that are: (1)flagged as departmental consent, (2)list requisites that have not been met, or (3)are full, you must request permission from the Law School Registrar's Office. If permission is granted, you will be given a Permission Number which you will enter when you add the course.
Transfer students who need to register for a First-Year course must obtain a Permission Number from the Law School Registrar's Office.
If you wish to register for a non-law course, you must obtain a Permission Number from the department offering the course. You will also need to obtain permission from the Associate Dean of the Law School using this form "Permission to Register for Non-Law Elective" which you will need to download, complete, and submit to the Law School Registrar's Office.
Students should request a permission number by emailing the Registrar's Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or by stopping by the Registrar's Service Window during business hours. Requests for permission numbers are issued in the order the requests are received.
Cross Registration
Students who seek to enroll in courses outside the University of Pittsburgh must come to the Law School Registrar's Office.
MSL, LL.M. and SJD students
These students will not participate in self-enrollment. MSL students should contact Beth Ann Pischke in room 519 for course registration. LL.M. and SJD students should contact Austin Lebo in room 318 for course registration.
Incoming First-Year students will not participate in self-enrollment.
Help Resources
Students who experience difficulty self-enrolling online should come to the Law School Registrar's Office during business hours. You also can email the Law Registrar's Office at email@example.com. or refer to the interactive demonstration (iDemo) video posted in My Pitt. To access that, Click Learn More just below the Student Center link on your portal home page. You can obtain technical assistance anytime by calling the University Technology Help Desk at (412)624-HELP[4357].

I was thinking of first doing a cold air intake, long tube headers with a y pipe first. then doing a heads and cam job, then going in and doing a new intake and TB. My main question I guess is will upgraded these in this order break other parts of the car? Do they compliment other well. Also open to what type of headers and exhaust. I was looking at the pace setter long tubes and y pipe, and like the way the SLP loud mouth exhaust sound. Thoughts?
