By now, you're familiar with the terms Vette-Rod, Pro Touring, Pro Street, and Resto Mod. Here's the car that defines another term: Pro Classic. It's Rich and Barbara Lagasse's '63 Corvette Z06 Coupe, the same car whose construction was featured in the Corvette Fever series "Split Personality."
How do you put the term Pro Classic into words? Let Rich spell it out. "We're trying to take advantage of how far the Corvette has come, from a technological standpoint," he says. "We're trying to upgrade the handling, comfort, ride, and performance with modern technology, while using primarily Corvette components that are currently available, to improve all those areas. When it comes to the exterior and interior styling, we make only subtle changes, within the context of the original styling, which are designed to improve their appearance, performance, and function."
The Lagasse's trip through the Corvette hobby began in 1989 with an all-original '66 big-block coupe that was restored only in those areas absolutely necessary, such as rebuilding the engine, which was in sad shape. After participating in NCRS Chapter and Regional events and receiving Top Flight awards, they found themselves with the dilemma of not feeling comfortable driving an original car as much as they had planned. Their feeling was that "a car is only original once in its life, and we felt a responsibility to preserve the car as it was." As a consequence, it became more "garage furniture" and not driven often.
The Lagasses then began purchasing and restoring other Corvettes which they felt more comfortable using the way they had planned. But then the itch to design a Corvette reflecting their ideas took hold. "While we really enjoyed those cars and the events we participated in, we began to look for a different way to enjoy the Corvette hobby," Rich says. "There are many different avenues to come at it. We decided that our focus would be to find a way to retain the integrity of that original styling, but develop a car that would make use of the current technology available and incorporate our own design ideas." As a result, they built their first Pro Classic in 1998, which was a '67 convertible. Having enjoyed that project so much, a '62 followed in 2001, following the same approach.
When planning began for their next project, the Lagasses decided to build a Vette to compete for the "big trophy" at one of North America's longest running rod and customs shows: the Ridler Award at the Detroit Autorama. That highly-sought-after prize, named for legendary Detroit show promoter Don Ridler, recognizes the finest of the new, never-before-seen-anywhere show vehicles. "We fully knew what we would be up against but believed that a Corvette hadn't competed in the Ridler in over 30 years. We wanted to have the experience once in our lives and represent the Corvette hobby as best we could," Rich says.
The C2 they started with was far from pristine-in fact, it was far from a complete car. "If you look back at the very first article, Installment 1, you'll see a picture of what we started with. It was virtually nothing but a bare shell," he says. "It had a modified rolling chassis, which we sold to a fellow who had a car with a rotten frame, but everything else was missing. As far as what we ended up with, (there was a picture of the body [in Installment 1] after it was media-blasted and the nose was removed). It looked like a horror story and definitely not what we usually advise people to use for a project like this. Our advice to anyone who asks is to start with as complete a non-numbers-matching car as you can find. Sometimes we should listen more closely to our own advice!"

I love flights.
I know what you mean about feeling like jelly as I haven't had a proper holiday in over a year.
I'm looking forward to reaching my destination but I'm not looking forward to the long flight. VLC on my Surface would definitely make it easier though

This proves there is a market for Windows 8 after all.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 16:07
Honestly, I didn't have the balls to point that out, because I try to stay more diplomatic around here now and don't get my head into discussing W8 anymore.
How does this prove it? I have VLC on my RPi, does that mean there is a market for RPi? I have seen KS Projects for completely absurd things, that actually have backers. I am not saying this is one, but a KS Project, or the fact that VLC will work on 8, means nothing about the market, especially for an OS.

I love flights.
I love long flights.
I love traveling by train.
I love long train journeys - my best one has been my longest one that took about 14 hours. (from my place to Pistoia, Italy (Florence region))
I love traveling in general. The more the better.

Off topic, but 22 hour flight...!?

Just to play Devil's advocate, wouldn't the fact that teams are using a kickstarter project rather than just creating the application mean that they are testing the level of interest in their product, and seeing if it is worth the bother? Following on, wouldn't that mean that they are not sure about the popularity of Metro Apps (and possibly Windows 8) at this point in time?
This proves there is a market for Windows 8 after all.

Thank you!
The full result was:
Steve Webb (Lib Dem) 25032
Matthew Riddle (Con) 17916
Roxanne Egan (Lab) 3385
Jenny Knight (UKIP) 1709
It was a great honour to get more than fifty per cent of the vote for the third General Election in a row. I think an hour or two of sleep may be called for!

Congratulations! Really well deserved after all your ongoing hard work. I am delighted to be living in the sanest constituency in England! Now please, please don't let Nick do a deal with Gordon Brown, however much 'power' he is offered. We did not vote for more profligacy and dishonesty. Do a deal with the tories, get PR and make sure we have another election soon, after which we are assured to see you again, even under that regime!

Congratulations Steve. First time I've voted Lib Dem. Please don't let Nick do a deal with DC he really doesn't know what he's doing !!

Thanks for all your hard work.

Congrats and thank god for common sense in the local area.
Please can you pull NC away from DC though. We didn't vote Lib Dem to get self-interested Etonian rich boys into power. Labour may have been at the helm when the ship hit financial problems, but it's the Tories who drew the maps and built the ship in the first place!

This would seem like a good time to commission a national poll on electoral reform. Where are the pollsters?
I am nervous that some opinion in the Conservative party is so opposed to PR that the "Committee" on offer will just become a talking shop unless there is a clear public groundswell to go for a referendum.
Surely one of the messages of the election result is that no party can be trusted on its own. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely!"

New MDP Profile: Bryan Bonahoom
Bryan's MDP profile
And yes, he's very good competition for both Steve and myself, as well as a lot of other LEGO builders in the area. In fact, I really have to get my rump in gear and learn some faster languages, to push my line following skills more to the limit like he and Steve have been doing.

The NXT-G software is currently for the PowerPC - so will run in the Rosetta emulator on your Intel Mac. Except: the Bluetooth functionality will not work from the NXT-G software.
A Universal Binary version of the NXT-G software is promised later this year.
I guess this will be a free a update for Mac users, but do not know for sure.

Not to sidetrack the discussion... Oh heck, I'm sidetracking the discussion.
Personally, I would like to say
"Great job Bryan!"
I love all the content, the humor, the pictures (ahh, the pictures), and in general, everything about Bryan's profile.
Okay, you can talk about Mac's now.

It is common knowledge that Giuseppe Verdi, by nature a critical man, not only found much to disapprove of in the trends of his day but also subjected his own work to a continuous process of editing and revision.
None of his operas did he alter, abridge, rearrange or rewrite more intensely than his grimmest work of all – DON CARLO -, whose web of political, religious and social constraints is most reminiscent of the inescapability of destiny associated with Greek drama.
Verdi began writing the opera in 1865, and twenty years were to pass before the premiere in Milan of the four-act version that we are most familiar with today. The composer not only wrestled with the two languages of the piece, each with its distinctive form of expression. He was also at pains to achieve the best possible result by repeatedly cutting, reducing and rearranging. The opera, extensive sections of which are faithful to Schiller's play, went through no less than seven versions.
In none of the opera's characters does the light of reason sparkle. Prisoners of their situations, prisoners of their own reins of control and of their own making, above all prisoners of a deadly, ever-looming spiritual power greater even than secular hegemony… Verdi captures the essential helplessness of human beings entangled in this network of terror: at best, death brings release.

Student Success Stories
Ari Winkleman
On behalf of Drexel University, thank you for your past giving. I also am personally grateful to you because your donations helped make my Drexel education possible. I'm a five-year co-op student at the Bennett S. LeBow College of Business, majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in entrepreneurship.
Why did I choose Drexel? When I was in middle school in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, I launched my own DJ business. I worked at all kinds of parties and events—birthdays, bar mitzvahs, graduations, you name it. By the middle of high school, I had a staff of 12. My parents said I was an entrepreneur, but back then, I didn't know what that meant. I just knew I liked music and making money. So when I started looking for colleges, I looked into schools with highly ranked entrepreneurship programs. I decided on Drexel, and I'm glad I did.
I think I would have gone crazy at a traditional school because I like to learn, but I also like to apply my knowledge. The co-op program makes it possible. I have had opportunities at Drexel that wouldn't have been possible at other schools.
As a member of the Drexel Traditions Program, I have been able to do some incredible things. We plan major events that get students excited about Drexel. For example, by leveraging all the resources at the University, we raised $50,000, and with the support of alumni, we drew thousands of students to Homecoming. President Papadakis, who was a master entrepreneur himself, was so impressed by our strategic plan that he made a contribution to our efforts. That experience helped us as students see the importance of giving back to the University.
As Drexel begins a new fiscal year, I hope you'll consider renewing your support with a gift or pledge. Your donations help students like me live our dreams. Tuition does not cover the entire cost of matriculation, and I would not have been able to continue my studies here without annual scholarships. I'm living proof that your dollars really do make a difference.
The earlier in the fiscal year you donate, the sooner your dollars will go to work. Click here to make a donation online or call the Drexel Fund office at 215.895.2612. I plan to be a Drexel donor someday. I hope you'll choose to be one today. Thank you!

Dr. W.W. Mayo
Mayo Clinic developed gradually from the medical practice of a pioneer doctor, Dr. William Worrall Mayo, who settled in Rochester, Minn., in 1863. His dedication to medicine became a family tradition when his sons, Drs. William James Mayo and Charles Horace Mayo, joined his practice in 1883 and 1888, respectively.
From the beginning, innovation was their standard and they shared a pioneering zeal for medicine. As the demand for their services increased, they asked other doctors and basic science researchers to join them in the world's first private integrated group practice.
Although the Mayo doctors were initially viewed as unconventional for practicing medicine through this teamwork approach, the benefits of a private group practice were undeniable.
As the success of their method of practice became evident, so did its acceptance. Patients discovered the advantages to a "pooled resource" of knowledge and skills among doctors. In fact, the group practice concept that the Mayo family originated has influenced the structure and function of medical practice throughout the world.
Along with its recognition as a model for integrated group practice, "the Mayos' Clinic" developed a reputation for excellence in individual patient care. Doctors and students came from around the world to learn new techniques from the Mayo doctors, and patients came from around the world for diagnosis and treatment. What attracted them was not only technologically advanced medicine, but also the caring attitude of the doctors.
Through the years, Mayo Clinic has nurtured and developed its founders' style of working together as a team. Shared responsibility and consensus still provide the framework for decision making at Mayo.
That teamwork in medicine is carried out today by more than 55,000 doctors, nurses, scientists, students and allied health staff at Mayo Clinic locations in the Midwest, Arizona and Florida.

The Second City Guide to the Opera, the groundbreaking collaboration by Lyric Opera of Chicago and The Second City, wins Jeff Awards for Best Production: Revue and Best Director: Revue!
The Second City Guide to the Opera, the groundbreaking collaboration by Lyric Opera of Chicago and The Second City, won Jeff Awards for Best Production: Revue and Best Director: Revue during the 45th annual Jeff Equity Awards gala on Monday. The ceremony took place at Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. "This is the first time Lyric Opera of Chicago has been nominated, and to win this prestigious award is truly thrilling," said Anthony Freud, Lyric's general director.
The Jeff Awards are billed as "a celebration of excellence in Chicago theatre" and have honored outstanding theater artists annually since 1968. During the 2012-13 season, Jeff Awards judges attended opening nights of 143 Equity productions offered by 52 producing organizations. From these openings, 109 productions were "Jeff Recommended" and eligible for award nominations, resulting in 166 nominations in 36 categories.
The Second City Guide to the Opera premiered in a sold-out, one-night-only performance in the Civic Opera House on January 5, 2013. Lyric Opera creative consultant Renée Fleming had the idea to bring together the world-renowned comedy troupe and opera company, both legendary Chicago institutions, to see what kinds of creative sparks might fly. "This unexpected mash-up of opera and sketch comedy was a great way to show die-hard opera fans – and new audiences – a fun side of our centuries-old art form," said Fleming.
The resulting revue-style show featured opera-themed comedic sketches performed by ensemble members of The Second City and The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center, with Fleming and legendary stage and screen actor Sir Patrick Stewart sharing emcee duties and appearing in sketches and satirical vignettes. Lyric Opera Orchestra musicians and revue music director Jesse Case (music director for The Second City e.t.c.) provided accompaniment. Case, Tim Sniffen, and Kate James wrote the material; The Second City's Billy Bungeroth directed, and TSC's Kelly Leonard was executive producer.
The resounding success of the January performance led to a month-long run of cabaret-style performances May 31-June 30, with audience and performers onstage at the Civic Opera House. It was this 23-show run (including new material) that was seen by Jeff-Award judges.
Performers for the extended run were Second City ensemble members Joey Bland*, Molly Brennan, Lilli-Anne Brown, Beth Melewski*, Tim Ryder, and Timothy Sniffen*. Billy Bungeroth* was director, Jesse Case* was music director and writer, and Kate James* and Timothy Sniffen* were writers. Singers from Lyric were mezzo-soprano Lauren Curnow and tenor Bernard Holcomb*, both former members of the Ryan Opera Center. (*participated in the January show) Musicians for the early-summer shows were Jesse Case/piano and guitar, John Macfarlane/violin, and Laura Deming/cello (both members of the Lyric Opera Orchestra).
The Second City Guide to the Opera is a project of Lyric Unlimited, a multifaceted program of expanded community engagement and artistic initiatives.
All performances of The Second City Guide to the Opera were sponsored by PNC Bank.

American mezzo Jamie Barton wins big in Cardiff! Jamie has been awarded both the title of Cardiff Singer of the World and the Cardiff Singer of the World Song Prize. She is only the second singer in the competition's history to win both awards.
Following her win, Jamie graciously posted to Facebook:
"I cannot begin to describe the feeling—'When you wish upon a star' comes to mind! So many thanks to those involved with the competition—the staff, the adjudicators, and my fellow competitors, who are just as beautiful people as they are artists. I look forward to meeting all of you down the road in the life of our careers—what incredible music will be made!"
British classical music critic Mike Smith reviews Jamie's magnificent performance in the final concert:
"The 31-year-old's cleverly structured programme comprised a perfect aria from Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur, displaying her smooth melting mezzo before giving a characterful Witch's aria from Hänsel und Gretel. Her Sibelius was hauntingly beautiful and her closing choice of Dido's dark and gorgeous aria from Berlioz's Les Troyens meticulously sung and a clear competition clincher."
Congratulations to a Lyric favorite, meistersinging mezzo Jamie Barton!

FORT WALTON BEACH —After more than a year of dealing with a greens-killing fungus, the city's golf courses are rebounding slowly but surely.
The dry, sandy patches aren't entirely gone, but the Fort Walton Beach Golf Club's two courses are the healthiest they've been since the spring of 2012.
"This has been about a 14-month ordeal," said Jeff Peters, the city's recreation and cultural services director. "There is no comparison to the condition of the course a year ago."
That healthy uptick, along with the City Council's recent decision to move the Golf Club's operational budget into the general fund, has city officials cautiously optimistic about the coming year. Instead of an unprofitable enterprise fund, the club will be on par with other city services that charge user fees.
The move also is expected to save the city $370,000.
"It gives the golf course its best opportunity to make money," City Manager Michael Beedie said. "It allows us to operate the course the way it should have always been operated."
Losing the greens
Golf Club officials began to worry after a pesticide application to ward off nematodes scorched most of the grounds in mid-2012. A fungus and hard-packed soil also didn't help, said David Trimm, the club's pro and business manager.
Some of the greens on the Pines course were there when the club opened in 1961, he said.
"The soil underneath doesn't allow the water to percolate," Trimm added.
Soon, the bright green of the club's Oaks course was mottled with a faded, scrubby brown.
"We would actually tell (customers) our golf course wasn't in good shape," Trimm said. "That's not really good, but you have to be honest or they'll never be back."
Trimm said many golfers will tolerate mediocre tees and fairways, but draw the line at bad greens.
"It takes all the fun out of it. … They will not put up with it," he said. "When they get on the green, they want to make a putt and it needs to be smooth."
Trimm relied on multiple temporary greens last summer to accommodate players.
"We cut it down, top dressed it and placed a hole in each one," he said.
Losing the greens resulted in a significant loss of day-to-day traffic but had less effect on the club's long-term membership, which stands at 650.
The 10-man ground crew's meticulous care has been largely successful in restoring the courses, Trimm said.
"They have worked so hard in getting this place back," he said. "It touches these guys personally."
The Oaks course is the further along.
"The Pines Course is about two weeks behind that," Peters said.
He said golfers have begun to return as news of the courses' improved condition has spread.
Since June 1, customers have played 3,192 rounds of golf, a 30 percent increase over the same time period in 2012.
"If there is one good thing that's come out of all of this, it's that more people are playing The Oaks and more people appreciate the golf course now," Trimm said.
Seeking new markets
Now Beedie is working with Peters and Trimm to boost the golf club's marketing strategies.
Although it has loyal members, Beedie said he plans to go online to tap new markets.
"We're going to hit Facebook, Twitter, all those popular social media sites," he said. "That way we can snap pictures of the greens and show people how good they look."
Trimm said an increasing number of golfers already book their tee times online, using the popular site www.golfnow.com.
Beedie said customers can be assured that the golf club's shift from an enterprise fund to a standard recreational service won't translate to higher greens fees.
"We're not going to raise the rates," he said.
The club is getting creative with specials — a $39 greens and cart fee — to compete with the area's many other courses.
"We feel like we're the most competitively priced golf course in this area," Peters said.
Trimm said he views the Golf Club as an integral piece of the local tourist offerings.
"There are people who come here not only for the beach but also to play golf," he said. "It just behooves us to have some really good (courses)."

This rope has a super smooth sheath. It is also ultra flexible for such a hefty gauge cord. I actually prefer this rope over some of the thinner ropes. The breaking is also excellent despite the super smooth sheath. I also really like the way this rope contrasts against pretty much any piece of rock (I got the green one).
I use this rope in the gym 3-4 times a week and fall on it a lot. It's been holding up great, it has been really easy to pull it up and clip. It's very smooth and stretchy. The middle mark is very helpful when I'm climbing up 70 feet or outside. Overall great first rope and I would recommend it to anyone.
I took this rope out for a week long trip and it's the best rope I've used! Most people I climb with use Sterling, but I found this one to be much smoother than any Sterling I've used. There were a few instances of bad rope drag and it didn't fray at all, still looks brand new!I was nervous about the 10.1mm size, but I did not even notice a weight difference between this and the 9.8mm rope I was also using on my most recent trip.Overall, I highly suggest this workhorse!
I got my hands on one of these on sale and would buy it again even at a higher price. The rope handles easily and has remained supple after a Spring, Summer, and Fall of top roping. The dry rope aspect comes into play if you live in a van down by the river.
Was a little skeptical about this rope as first due to it's diameter. When using this rope, it ran thru my ATC smoothly and provided enough friction to stop a falling climber. The only problem with it was the stretch was a little more intimidating compared to other ropes. By this I mean that the fall was greater. After taking a fall on it and hurting my ankle, I became more aware of the stretch in it. Other than that, the dry technology is perfect for a year round climbing rope for rock and ice climbing. It is a little big for a double line climb for ice climbing.
I love this rope! This rope is by far my favorite rope, it flies through the belay device making it so much faster to repel. It also has a thicker sheath on it so its way more durable but a bit heavier to say the least. The rope is a 10.1mm rope making it a great all around rope for sport, trad, gym, even big wall climes! It has a UIAA fall rating of 7 and a dynamic stretch of 33.6% making a fall softer than some of my other ropes. As most ropes go they're all 60 to 70m long and so is this one. It costs around $199 to $235, but is a great buy. So all in all the Petzl Xion 10.0mm is an awesome rope and i would recommend it to anyone.
This rope is smooth! It screams through belay devices, making it a blast to rappel with. Being 10.1mm, it is a bit heavy so I would recommend this for those sport climbing close to their campsite/car. Other than the weight, a great purchase!
Bought this rope to split with a buddy as a gym rope. I know it is probably more suitable as a craig rope, but since we were splitting it I wanted something nice. So far, it has been awesome. Although it is a 10.1 it still runs through my GriGri like butta! I was hoping that getting a 10.1 instead of a 9.8 would make it last for a long time being a gym rope (pending I don't take it outside). I have caught few falls on it too with both the ATC and my GriGri... so far so good. Hasn't really gotten tangled yet and when it starts to, it untangles easily. I have the bright green one... Probably one of the best looking ropes at the gym.
The 10.1 feels more slender than even smaller ropes, and it feels great in the hands. It is a smooth, slick rope which is perfect for me because, weighing in at 120, I struggle on rappels with other ropes. The Xion runs easily and smoothly through my ATC. (I can see how this might make rappels extraordinarily fast for those that weigh more). Though great for rappelling, I've no problem with lock offs on belay. I have climbed on sandstone, granite, besalt, Rhyolite... Never had any problem with wear. I do love my Xion.
I posted a review earlier about this rope. After having used it for about 10 trips, I would like to go back and mention my that the sheath of this rope wears very easily. Running over moderately sharp edges the rope has done more than just fuzzed out, it has wore substantially into the sheath in several spots. So much so that I had to cut off about 10 feet of the rope where their was a lot of damage to the sheath. I inspected the core fibers where the sheath was damaged and they were still completely intact so I believe the damage was cosmetic but compared to the other two ropes I have it wears very easily. I think this is due to how supple the rope is.
I just bought this rope about 6 months ago and love the feel and durability. My only complain is that it is very slick, making repelling a hand-burning event (without gloves). It is so fast that I can completely lock off when repelling and I still slide down the rope. This is because it is a "dry rope", but the advantage is that the dry rope withstands moisture and dirt better. If you are looking for a good standard rope for lots of climbing in wet places like the NW this one is great.
Hardly feels like a 10.1, I have a 9.9 and they feel like the same diameter. The rope is beautiful and works superbly. I use the rope for all around climbing, it's a good middle ground between a workhorse rope and an onsight rope.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

The Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship Law Clinic at UConn School of Law provides students with the unique opportunity to counsel Connecticut's innovators on an extensive range of intellectual property (patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret) and related business law issues.
Since the Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship Law Clinic opened its doors in January 2007, it has assisted (or is presently assisting) more than 250 clients, hailing from all eight counties in Connecticut and representing more than 85 different cities and towns. Under the guidance of supervising attorneys, the Clinic's students are involved in various aspects of client matters, including but not limited to, conducting interviews, performing legal research, drafting documents, and interacting with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office. The Clinic has advised clients regarding numerous legal issues, including patent searches and applications; trademark clearances and applications; copyright and trademark licensing; and nondisclosure, consulting, and employee agreements.
In July of 2008, the Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship Law Clinic was one of only six law school clinics in the nation selected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to participate in a two-year pilot program under which law students are granted limited recognition to practice law (while under attorney supervision) before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This program has been extended and the Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship Law Clinic continues its participation in the program.
The Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship Law Clinic combines three of the finest traditions at UConn Law — its broad-based commitment to clinical education, its innovative approach to the study of intellectual property law, and its dedication to serving the people of Connecticut. The Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship Law Clinic operates independently of other legal clinics associated with UConn School of Law.
IP Law Clinic students represent individuals, small businesses, and non-profit organizations in a broad range of intellectual property (patent, trademark, and copyright) and related business law issues. The clinical experience provides intensive training in both the relevant law and practical skills relevant to intellectual property law practice.
Students will spend three hours per week in class and approximately eight hours per week working on client matters. Class topics include the following general categories relating to intellectual property: basic lawyering skills and legal ethics, including client interaction; patent and trademark searching, application preparation and prosecution; IP litigation; trade secret; and copyright.
The Clinic's law students are involved in various aspects of client matters, including but not limited to, conducting interviews, legal research, and drafting documents. Under the guidance of supervising attorneys, they advise clients regarding numerous legal issues including patent, trademark and copyright clearances, searches, and applications; related contract drafting; nondisclosure and employee confidentiality agreements; and Connecticut limited liability company formation.
A scientific or engineering background may be helpful but is not required.
Patent Law (Law 7716) is a pre-requisite for students with science or technology backgrounds who will be doing patent work while enrolled in the clinic, but it may be taken as a co-requisite if the student has already completed Intellectual Property (LAW 7715). For students who will not be doing patent work while enrolled in the clinic, either one of the following pre-requisites is sufficient: Intellectual Property (LAW 7715) or Trademark Law (LAW 7939).
Joseph A. DeGirolamo, Director and Assistant Clinical Professor of Law
Robert S. Smith, Assistant Clinical Professor of Law, Supervising Attorney and Senior Legal Counsel
Bruce Jacoby, Assistant Clinical Professor of Law and Supervising Attorney
Susan K. Pocchiari, Assistant Clinical Professor of Law and Supervising Patent Attorney
Kathleen E. Lombardi, Program Coordinator, 860-728-2104
Our clients are drawn from Connecticut's innovator-entrepreneurs who have basic intellectual property and related business law needs.
Client services currently available include, but are not limited to, patent searches, provisional/non-provisional patent applications, trademark clearances and registration applications, copyright and trade secret matters, drafting and negotiating intellectual property agreements, and Connecticut limited liability company formation if related to an intellectual property matter.
Although clinic services are free, clients are responsible for certain U.S. Patent & Trademark Office fees and other costs that may be necessary for the clinic to provide assistance, including, for example, the fees for filing a patent, trademark or copyright application, or the fees to register a Connecticut limited liability company, etc.
To be eligible to receive an application for the IP Law Clinic's program, you must: (1) have a presence in Connecticut, i.e. be a resident of Connecticut or have a business located in Connecticut; and (2) be seeking assistance with regard to the procurement or protection of intellectual property in the United States, e.g. a patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secret.
The IP Law Clinic does not handle international or foreign intellectual property matters and does not work on matters relating to any intellectual property proceedings before a tribunal, including but not limited to, appeals to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, Inter Partes Review proceedings, trademark oppositions or cancellation proceedings.
To learn more, you may contact the Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship Law Clinic. Please be advised that by contacting the IP Law Clinic, there should be no expectation that the Clinic will form a relationship with you or accept you into the Clinic program.

New Jersey Devils (20-18-11) at Phoenix Coyotes (22-16-9), 8 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - While they weren't able to solve their recent offensive issues, Mike Smith's first shutout allowed the Phoenix Coyotes to snap a four- game losing streak.
The Coyotes will now try to win consecutive games for the first time in over a month as they play host on Saturday night to the New Jersey Devils.
Phoenix was held to just a single goal for the fourth time in five games on Thursday, but that was enough thanks to Smith's 28-save effort in a 1-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
It was a much-needed effort for Smith, an Olympic selection for Team Canada who had gone 0-5-2 in his previous seven decisions. The netminder won for the first time since Dec. 21 with his 25th career shutout.
"I just wanted to make some saves and give the team a chance to win. The shutout is just a bonus," said Smith. "The guys were tremendous tonight and everyone got a confidence boost from it."
That should include Antoine Vermette, who scored for the first time in 12 games. His 13th of the season came at the 12:51 mark of the first period and was his first goal since he logged a hat trick versus Ottawa on Dec. 21.
Phoenix's penalty kill had a large role in winning this game, keeping Vancouver off the board on all seven of its chances, including a high sticking double minor to Martin Hanzal with 4:05 to play in the third. Hanzal was fined $5,000 by the league for the infraction.
The Coyotes have not won back-to-back games since Dec. 10-12, but have won their last three at home versus the Devils.
Phoenix has claimed five of the last seven encounters overall, including a 5-3 decision in the most recent meeting on Oct. 27, 2011 at home.
The Devils, meanwhile, close out a four-game road trip tonight having gone 1-0-2 on the trip and 3-0-3 in their last six overall. That includes a pair of shootout losses and the Devils have lost all eight of their tiebreakers this season and 12 straight dating back to last season, an NHL record.
New Jersey got a third-period goal from Reid Boucher at the 8:59 mark to force overtime after having mustered just two shots in the second period. However, Cory Schneider yielded two goals in the shootout and both Patrik Elias and Adam Henrique failed on their chances.
"I didn't like anybody in the first two periods other than Schneider," said Devils head coach Peter DeBoer. "I liked everybody in the last 20 minutes."
Schneider ended with 37 saves while Elias played for the first time since Dec. 31, having missed seven straight with what the team termed total body soreness.

As the regular season draws closer, fans and pundits alike are beginning to form confident opinions on how their teams, and some opposing teams, will shake out in 2013.This column will aim to take a shot at all 32 teams. They're ranked in what would be a projected 2014 draft order, if all records were correct.Although it's virtually a scientific impossibility to get every team's record correct, it's a worthwhile challenge, and it makes for interesting discussion fodder.That having been said, it's time to take that leap of faith, and predict the future for every team in the NFL, as far as 2013 goes.

SALT LAKE CITY – After 40 years of supporting healthcare research and education in the Salt Lake Valley, one of the state's most successful medical foundations is changing its name.
The Deseret Foundation, which has supported medical research and education at Intermountain Healthcare's Salt Lake Valley hospitals since 1970, has changed its name to the Intermountain Research & Medical Foundation to more accurately reflect its function and to differentiate it from its roots as the fundraising arm of LDS Hospital when the LDS Church owned it.
The mission of the Intermountain Research & Medical Foundation remains the same: to enhance the field of medicine by providing funding for medical research, education, equipment and facilities throughout the greater Salt Lake area.
"We aspire to improve the quality of healthcare throughout the world," says J. Howard Van Boerum, chair of the Foundation. "And making sure our name is aligned with our mission only helps us to better help those in need."
The Foundation was started in 1970 when a group of physicians who were dedicated to promoting medical research at LDS Hospital organized the Deseret Foundation. The foundation has continued to grow since then, now encompassing five Salt Lake Valley hospitals: Alta View Hospital in Sandy, Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Riverton Hospital and TOSH–The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital in Murray.
This past year, the Foundation provided more than a million dollars to support medical research and life-saving equipment for the five Salt Lake Valley hospitals they serve.
"We may be changing our name, but we aren't changing our mission or our vision for raising funds for medical research and education," says Van Boerum. "This is a great opportunity for our community, board members and others to help write a chapter in the history of the Foundation; it's a great time to support such a worthy cause."

Hey all, I need a little advice on setting up my wireless router to act as my Access Point for sharing my Internet Connection. Here's the tricky part... Currently I get my Internet thru my downstairs neighbour using a Wireless USB adapter. In a perfect world, I would have this active Wireless connection and with my router acting as the AP, the Router would look to this Wireless USB adapter for its Internet Connection. With this properly setup, the Router would allow all of my other Wifi-Enabled devices to connect to it, and have Internet Access. Does that make sense?
I have it currently working, utilizing the Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter and various netsh commands, but I find this a little too taxing on the Wifi Adapter. Same thing with SoftAP apps like Connectify and the like (which always causes my PC to freeze). DOS-based commands are always better anyway :-P
When I follow the directions in the User Manual for both Routers below, I can never get the AP mode to work properly. It just will not allow me to connect to the IP that I set for the Router AP, it just gives me the usual 169.254 BS. That's my real problem.
Here's a little "diagram" if you will.....
Internet Access:
Realtek RTL8192CU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter -
Windows 7 Desktop:
VIA Rhine II Compatible Fast Ethernet Adapter - To Router (Hopefully providing Internet)
Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter - Does exactly what I want the hardware to do
And for Routers, I have two to choose from, but the N1 would be best.
Belkin N1 Wireless Router Model: F5D8231-4 v4
Belkin N Wireless Router Model: F5D8236-4 v2
I hope someone can make sense of my rambling. I've been at this for days and it's late here, hehe. Thanks for any help or insight anyone might provide.

Sorry, can't go. It's in Arizona.
yeah, count me out too. i hope you have fun alone, like at your prom.
I was just asking if you could make it earlier. I had forgotten that you said you might be working.
Also if my brother was able to go earlier then I was considering going early with them, eating lunch somewheres and then wandering around more when y'all showed up.
Oh well. There will be a better time for this.
there are some pricey shows at the MIM in July. Perhaps then? Perhaps not, as they are ~$35. No Student Discount.

I finally made it on Friday afternoon. Possibly a huge pile of photos to follow. Or at least a link to a huge pile. I really enjoyed it, spent about two and a half hours wandering the museum. Counting the gift shop and the cafe we were there well over three hours.
It was cool to see zithers from all over the world. My favorites were the ones made from animals, made to look like animals and the multipurpose pieces.

So, I finally went yesterday. This place is seriously cool, I can't believe I haven't been before. They currently have the piano that John Lennon wrote 'Imagine' on (on loan), which I thought was seriously cool.
I think I'm going to become a member. This is the sort of thing that really deserves supporting.
yeah I think he founded the thing.
I live less than three miles from this place and still haven't gone. How long is the piano there, did it say?
I don't think piano talks, Dylan.
They talk to my soul, Faxl.
Ivy and I are also fluent in Marine hand signals. I live three fucking miles from this place, and I'd really like to see the piano that talks to people.
3 miles?!!? I hope you are planning on walking.
I was actually planning on cartwheeling.
Even better. I'll bet Ivy is a good cartwheeler too.

Tired of trying to sell German cars to Americans, Volkswagen gave up on that idea with the latest Passat and instead gave us what it thought we'd want: a truly American car. Introduced as a 2012 model, the all-new Passat broke with the popular European version (which is as ubiquitous on the roads of its home country as the Toyota Camry is here). Designed specifically for the U.S.A., the new American Passat is -- predictably -- larger: 4.0 inches longer and half an inch wider than the previous model, with a 3.7-inch greater span between the axles. Not only is the Passat designed for America, it's also built here, at VW's brand-new factory in Tennessee. That helped bring about the Passat's most important change -- a massive price cut of almost $7000 for the base model.
