Supreme Court
Tuition... PLUS books plus cost of living; plus one year of entry level salary (assuming you can find a job). You could very easily put that number at 75k in real costs and well into six figures for opportunity cost.
The difference between those two things is the difference in being able to take low-income clients and still pay your loans while living like you're on welfare yourself, versus no one can provide legal services to those low-income clients and you still live like you're on welfare despite working 18hr days.
Third year of law school is basically a really expensive joke, bros. Hope that helps.
Does anybody really believe there would be significant savings if law school became two years instead of three? The whole assumption is the tuition costs would stay the same, but that ignores how much of that tuition is direct costs and how much is indirect. The schools debt service, fixed asset pool and any number of large overhead funds will simply be spread over two years instead of three and tuition will rise accordingly. So instead of paying $30,000/yr for law school for three years, you will pay $45,000 for two.
I think the 3rd year they give you an opportunity to pursue a job with the resources and support of a university behind you. Plus there are rumblings about too much litigation as is can you imagine how many more attorneys there would be if the qualifications were lowered?
We should double the annual tuition and make it 10 years instead of 3. We need fewer lawyers.

Descriptive Food Paragraph Final draft due: For this assignment, you are to write one well-developed paragraph describing a food you either REALLY enjoy, or REALLY hate. The focus here is on concrete sensory detail and tone. Your essay should: 1) begin and end with a sensory detail. Whether it's a the smell that hits you first or the sight of it, grab your reader's attention by beginning with something concrete and sensory. 2) frame the description in a narrative. Imagine that you have the food in front of you or think back to the last time you ate it. Describe that experience, that particular point in time. Creating a narrative frame allows us to be more concrete and to give our reader more to latch onto. Spend time describing the process of chewing, tasting, swallowing, etc… 3) focus on using action verbs. One way to be sure you have a narrative frame is to make sure you are showing action through your paragraph. Maybe you're only describing the first few bites, or maybe you are describing eating the WHOLE THING. Either way, you may only use three state of being verbs! Good luck! state of being verbs: am, is, are, was, were Edit carefully for sentence boundary issues. Follow MLA format, Times New Roman, 12 point font, double space all Use a creative title, not the title of the assignment 1 Name: _______________________________________ Descriptive Paragraph Rubric: Needs Needs Unsatisfactory Revision Minor Satisfactory Revision Does the essay begin with sensory detail? Does the author make strong use of sensory detail through the paragraph? Does the essay create a dominant impression/tone through its word choices? Is there a narrative frame for the description? Is the description fully developed? Does the writer make strong use of action verbs? Are the action verbs vivid and specific? Does the author use three or fewer state-of-being verbs: am, is, are, was, were? MLA Style: Is it an appropriate length? Is the formatting correct? Grammar and Usage? Additional Comments: 2 Jessie Holman Jan. 4, 2010 Descriptive Essay Final Draft Asparagus 1 Walking up to a cozy, tan ranch-style house in southern California, my stomach was howling for attention, waiting for a scrumptious meal to help ease its hunger. My aunt's house was filled with the rich scent of roasted chicken and garlic, a smell that would drench my taste buds when I would have eaten mammal flesh. I could almost smell the tenderness of the succulent meat as it baked in the oven while mashed potatoes churned in melted creamy butter. The smells of a fulfilling feast vanished when my unwary sense of smell detected a stinging stench. The smell of a flattened skunk by an 18 wheeler would have pleased your nose more than the stench from the kitchen. Immediately I felt something beginning to creep up my throat and my gag reflex started to pulse and constrict the further I walked into the house. The only question on my mind was, "What will be thrown into my unsuspecting mouth within the next five minutes?" 2 As my family gathered around the table, my attention focused on my faux china plate where the source of the reeking smell was laid out before me. It was green!! Not just any green, it was a dark sinister, depressing green, as if from a deep dark forest. The long stalks lay on my plate contaminating the wonderful and blessed mashed potatoes and gravy. The thought of this sinister vegetable entering my vacant stomach to satisfy any hunger I had left over was inconceivable. This newly found enemy of mine had been secreting juices overtaking the defenseless and peaceful chicken breasts. It had finally pulled a Hitler when it invaded my buttered roll which forced me into action. I grabbed the only weapon readily available, the courageous fork. With my only defense at hand, I stabbed one of the weaker stalks to observe my adversary more clearly. I dreaded the perpetual demise of a lifetime's worth of appetite. 3 "Asparagus." The word itself made my fingers quiver. It was the length of a sharp number two pencil but instead of lead it had diminutive leaves attached to the tip. It had only one purpose which was to fool the digester into thinking a pretty delicious gift was coming its way. It was as if they curled around the pointed tip, but I was too smart to be fooled. I knew that only misery waited under the dark green lying leaves. It had pale pea-like lines that wrapped around the forest-like stalks, leaving a quarter of an inch separating the filth into four or five sections, of horror. Looking from the outside, it seemed as if it was layered like an onion. It appeared that the first layer was a sea green with a sheer touch of color 3 from the inside of a lime. The pigment grew more menacing the deeper the layers went. The thought of this satanic vegetable going near any part of my body was ultimately a chaotic nightmare. 4 I drew the dark vegetable closer to my nose. The steam instantly attacked my nostrils as it seeped down into the back of my throat. My poor defenseless nose was suddenly filled with an aroma like that of cat urine and ammonia. I felt a burning sensation in my nasal passages as the hair in my nose tried fighting off the poisonous steam that was attempting to attack my inner senses. My body went in to shock as I dropped my once mighty sword and pushed away from the oak wooden table. I soon found my enemy had the overwhelming power to make me pale. I was pulled fourth into the battle ground by the green's allies, my parents, who then tried to persuade a single bite. Forced into caving in and avoiding a long grounding, I picked up the betraying fork. Eyes opened, I stared my nemesis down as it entered the gateway of my core. 5 Cautiously, I bit the tip of its bushy summit; the particles broke off and invaded every crevice in my mouth. It was a gushing sensation as I clamped down. It felt as if centers separated into a flank position trying to clog the back of my throat which made swallowing feel as if I was shoving a toothbrush down it to puke. Bits and pieces clung to the inner walls of my throat as bigger chunks fell farther down the tubes leading to an unsuspecting stomach. It was a bomb of hard wood chips covered in slime as it hit my acidic stomach. It took a few more tries of swallowing before I had to drown out the rest of what particles were left with many gulps of creamy white milk. This may not have been the best decision, but when in dire need one must use whatever resources available. 6 I was poisoned for life. Looking at the tricksters left on my plate I envisioned throwing them into a pit of despair. I knew I wouldn't be able eat anything more for at least six days. I took one last look and I felt an odd movement coming from my stomach. It began to crawl up my spine until I felt a convulsion and my abdomen began to twitch. My parents took one look at me and rushed me to the nearest porcelain god in the house as I was forced to regurgitate not only the asparagus, but the garlicky chicken, and finally, slowly and painfully the mush of mashed potatoes crawled up and out my mouth. Skipping dessert since the episode in the bathroom, I was finally able to leave my aunt's house of asparagus. I felt accomplished and pleased with my performance in the war of green vegetables and family dinners. My only regret as we climbed into the car was the glorious never-ending image of what was given to the hallway bathroom's toilet. I could only picture and taste destroyed pieces of chicken and asparagus floating among slug-like chunks of potatoes and bile. 4 Joyas Voladeres by: Brian Doyle 1 Consider the hummingbird for a long moment. A hummingbird's heart beats ten times a second. A hummingbird's heart is the size of a pencil eraser. A hummingbird's heart is a lot of the hummingbird. Joyas voladoras, flying jewels, the first white explorers in the Americas called them, and the white men had never seen such creatures, for hummingbirds came into the world only in the Americas, nowhere else in the universe, more than three hundred species of them whirring and zooming and nectaring in hummer time zones nine times removed from ours, their hearts hammering faster than we could clearly hear if we pressed our elephantine ears to their infinitesimal chests. 2 Each one visits a thousand flowers a day. They can dive at sixty miles an hour. They can fly backwards. They can fly more than five hundred miles without pausing to rest. But when they rest they come close to death: on frigid nights, or when they are starving, they retreat into torpor, their metabolic rate slowing to a fifteenth of their normal sleep rate, their hearts sludging nearly to a halt, barely beating, and if they are not soon warmed, if they do not soon find that which is sweet, their hearts grow cold, and they cease to be. Consider for a moment those hummingbirds who did not open their eyes again today, this very day, in the Americas: bearded helmetcrests and booted racket-tails, violet-tailed sylphs and violet-capped woodnymphs, crimson topazes and purple-crowned fairies, red-tailed comets and amethyst woodstars, rainbow-bearded thornbills and glittering-bellied emeralds, velvet-purple coronets and golden-bellied star-frontlets, fiery-tailed awlbills and Andean hillstars, spatuletails and pufflegs, each the most amazing thing you have never seen, each thunderous wild heart the size of an infant's fingernail, each mad heart silent, a brilliant music stilled. 3 Hummingbirds, like all flying birds but more so, have incredible enormous immense ferocious metabolisms. To drive those metabolisms they have race-car hearts that eat oxygen at an eye-popping rate. Their hearts are built of thinner, leaner fibers than ours. Their arteries are stiffer and more taut. They have more mitochondria in their heart muscles -- anything to gulp more oxygen. Their hearts are stripped to the skin for the war against gravity and inertia, the mad search for food, the insane idea of flight. The price of their ambition is a life closer to death; they suffer heart attacks and aneurysms and ruptures more than any other living creature. It's expensive to fly. You burn out. You fry the machine. You melt the engine. Every creature on earth has approximately two billion heartbeats to spend in a lifetime. You can spend them slowly, like a tortoise, and live to be two hundred years old, or you can spend them fast, like a hummingbird, and live to be two years old. 5 4 The biggest heart in the world is inside the blue whale. It weighs more than seven tons. It's as big as a room. It is a room, with four chambers. A child could walk around in it, head high, bending only to step through the valves. The valves are as big as the swinging doors in a saloon. This house of a heart drives a creature a hundred feet long. When this creature is born it is twenty feet long and weighs four tons. It is waaaaay bigger than your car. It drinks a hundred gallons of milk from its mama every day and gains two hundred pounds a day and when it is seven or eight years old it endures an unimaginable puberty and then it essentially disappears from human ken, for next to nothing is known of the mating habits, travel patterns, diet, social life, language, social structure, diseases, spirituality, wars, stories, despairs, and arts of the blue whale. There are perhaps ten thousand blue whales in the world, living in every ocean on earth, and of the largest mammal who ever lived we know nearly nothing. But we know this: the animals with the largest hearts in the world generally travel in pairs, and their penetrating moaning cries, their piercing yearning tongue, can be heard underwater for miles and miles. 5 Mammals and birds have hearts with four chambers. Reptiles and turtles have hearts with three chambers. Fish have hearts with two chambers. Insects and mollusks have hearts with one chamber. Worms have hearts with one chamber, although they may have as many as eleven single-chambered hearts. Unicellular bacteria have no hearts at all; but even they have fluid eternally in motion, washing from one side of the cell to the other, swirling and whirling. No living being is without interior liquid motion. We all churn inside. 6 So much held in a heart in a lifetime. So much held in a heart in a day, an hour, a moment. We are utterly open with no one, in the end -- not mother and father, not wife or husband, not lover, not child, not friend. We open windows to each but we live alone in the house of the heart. Perhaps we must. Perhaps we could not bear to be so naked, for fear of a constantly harrowed heart. When young we think there will come one person who will savor and sustain us always; when we are older we know this is the dream of a child, that all hearts finally are bruised and scarred, scored and torn, repaired by time and will, patched by force of character, yet fragile and rickety forevermore, no matter how ferocious the defense and how many bricks you bring to the wall. You can brick up your heart as stout and tight and hard and cold and impregnable as you possibly can and down it comes in an instant, felled by a woman's second glance, a child's apple breath, the shatter of glass in the road, the words I have something to tell you, a cat with a broken spine dragging itself into the forest to die, the brush of your mother's papery ancient hand in a thicket of your hair, the memory of your father's voice early in the morning echoing from the kitchen where he is making pancakes for his children. 6 Sensory Detail Worksheet List all of the sensory details you can come up with to describe ________________.

In Obamaland, 'Rule of Law' is for the Other Suckers: US (and French) Courts Have Ruled Head-of-State Immunity is Absolute
By Dave Lindorff
It is clear that the entrapment and forced landing in Austria of the official airplane carrying Bolivian President Evo Morales was the work of the US, which was obviously behind the decision by France and Portugal to deny air rights to the flight, and which also was obviously behind the Austrian government's demand to be allowed to search the jet after it landed. After all, those countries have no interest themselves in capturing US National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, who is only Obama's and the NSA's quarry.

On this, the anniversary of the U.S.'s independence from Great Britain, some observations:
A Noir America: Killers and Roller-Coaster Rides

We're all aware of the reputed Chinese curse about living in interesting times. Upheaval seems to be in the air. According to Wikipedia, the interesting times curse was linked with a second, more worrisome curse: "May you come to the attention of those in authority."
Germans Remember Das Leben des Anderen
Gauging Sympathy for Snowden
Editor Note: As the U.S. media turns on NSA leaker Edward Snowden – and as many Americans say they're happy to trade some privacy for more security – samples of public opinion abroad are more sympathetic. An online poll by a major German daily reflects that sentiment, writes ex-Danish intelligence analyst Frank S. Grevil.

Servile Euro Leaders Cave Under US Pressure: Bolivia's Morales Dissed and Pissed as Diplomatic Immunity Ignored
By Dave Lindorff
Those of us who have been saying that the US has become a weak, or at least more ordinary power among many in the world because of its military failures in Iraq and Afghanistan, and because of its economic decline, will have to recalibrate our analysis after watching the pathetic behavior of the leaders of Russia, Germany and France under pressure from the Obama administration not to allow Edward Snowden to gain asylum in those countries or even to escape his purgatory in Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.
We let them do it and we can still stop them! The Snowden Controversy and our Legacy of Choices
By Alfredo Lopez
In one of the most innovative uses of the bizarre rules of international travel, whistle-blower Edward Snowden sits in an airport transit lounge outside the customs barrier that is Russian enough to not invade but not Russian enough to claim the Russians are hiding him. He has now reportedly applied for asylum in Russia.
Biden/Obama full-court press on Snowden is a bad joke: The Real Traitors to America are in Washington and New York

When the official default is to lie: In Us We Have to Trust
By Dan DeWalt

By Dave Lindorff
The spectacle of the US threatening Hong Kong, China, Russia and now little Ecuador with all manner of reprisals if they don't respect the "rule of law" and hand over whistleblower Edward Snowden to the US, is delicious to watch.
Brazilians Demand Social Justice
Brazilians Demand Social Justice
by Stephen Lendman
Justifiable public anger holds back only so long. On June 11, protests began. On June 17, they erupted across Brazil. Hundreds of thousands turned out. Estimates ranged up to 1.5 million.
At issue is scandalous misspending on sports. It's at a time of stalling economic growth, layoffs, rising inflation, and few opportunities for youths.

Snowden's escape: China, Hong Kong and Russia Foil US Attempt to Silence NSA Whistleblower
By Dave Lindorff
Now that Edward Snowden is safely away out of the clutches of the US police state, at least for now, let's take a moment to contemplate how this one brave man's principled confrontation with the Orwellian US government has damaged our national security state.
June 24th is D-Day: last day to submit public comments about TSA
Monday, June 24, 2013, is the final day to submit your public comments about the TSA. Links all over this blog . . .
If you don't exercise your rights and speak up when they're violated, don't be surprised when they're taken away. As of this writing, only 4,000 people have submitted comments about the TSA to the public docket. That's out of a country of 300 million (yes, I know not everyone flies). What does that tell you about whether people give a toss about their rights?
Who knew? The government snoops have been keeping us safe?: Cranking Up the Washington Lie Machine
By Dave Lindorff
Just for the sake of argument, let's suspend our disbelief for a moment and pretend (I know it's a stretch) that the Obama administration and the apologists for the nation's spy apparatus in Congress, Democratic and Republican, are telling us the gods' honest truth.
What the Government Doesn't Want You to Realize Lessons of the Snowden Revelations: You are the Target!

If Edward Snowden's goal in blowing his whistle was to spark a public debate about privacy and surveillance, he has marvelously succeeded.
The Stunning Illogic of The Times: Spy on Us All so We Won't Lose Our Freedom
By Dave Lindorff
So New York Times columnist Tom Friedman and former Times executive editor Bill Keller are both saying that the massive NSA spying program on all Americans' communications is a needed thing because if they don't do it, then maybe there could be another major terrorist strike on the US, and democracy would be erased in the US.
TSA screener slut-shames 15-year-old girl, by Sommer Gentry
Mark Fraunfelder's 15-year-old daughter was at LAX yesterday, trying to board a flight with a group of other students on a trip to visit some colleges. Unfortunately, the U.S. government had decided ahead of time to hire tens of thousands of strangers to intimidate and abuse her (and others) as they blocked the girl's safe passage to her airplane.

A Cure for War – With Limitations.
A Cure for War – With Limitations.
by Erin Niemela
Earlier this week I wrote an editorial proposing a 28th constitutional amendment to abolish war. The NSA scandal, I argue, is tied to the more pervasive problem of violent foreign (and domestic) policy, and we'll continue to see government abuses so long as war and inter-state military violence are the acceptable choices for conflict management. David Swanson, author of the brilliant history, "When the World Outlawed War," thoughtfully responded to my plea by urging us to recall and reignite the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928, an existing international pact renouncing war signed and ratified by the US president and Senate.
I agree with Mr. Swanson that any efforts to end war should point to existing law, and we agree that abolishing war is possible and necessary. However, the Kellogg-Briand Pact is not without its limitations, and a fresh, people-driven constitutional amendment could both address those limitations and offer current, culturally relevant and legally dispositive reinforcement.
Snowden's Gambit: Expose NSA Domestic Spying Operation, Hold Global Spying Program in Reserve

It's a pretty sad spectacle watching the US Congress toading up to the National Security Agency. With the exception of a few stalwarts like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and to a lesser extent Ron Wyden (D-OR), most of the talk in the halls of Congress is about how to keep the army of Washington private contractors from accessing too many of the government's secrets (which need to be protected by government employees!), and about whether to try NSA whistleblower Ed Snowden for treason.
The Right Reverend Honorable General Keith B. Alexander
Secrecy's Tangled Web of Deceit
June 13, 2013
Editor Note: U.S. government officials insist that their secret surveillance techniques are so valuable in fighting "terrorism" that they must be kept completely in the dark – along with the American people. This alleged imperative has justified even lying to Congress.
By Ray McGovern
The name card at the Senate hearing read, "Hon. General Keith B. Alexander," but layering on the extra honorific title was not enough to change the sad reality that the National Security Agency's director – a proven prevaricator – was not "honorable."
You might have thought that some impish congressional staffer was trying to inject a touch of irony into the proceedings by prefacing "General" with "Hon." – like Mark Antony mocking Julius Caesar's murderers as "honorable men" in Shakespeare's play. But that didn't seem to be the case.
NSA and TSA: a match made in heaven (or hell, depending on your point of view)
Jeffrey Goldberg, who writes for The Atlantic and Bloomberg News, has a new column wherein he relates the recently revealed mass surveillance of the NSA to the ongoing abuses of the TSA.
He's right. They are related. All of the practices of the National Security State are related, as some of us have been saying for years.
He was 29
Many years later they found him in a monastery in China.
He agreed to be interviewed.
He looked happy in the eyes.
He said,
"One question."
So I said,
"Hong Kong, June 2013.
You were 29.
You said your greatest fear was
That nothing would change,
That the government would continue to grant itself
Unilateral powers.
Every time there is a new leader,
'They'll flip the switch', you said...
A whistleblower holding all the cards: Why did Edward Snowden go to Hong Kong?
By Dave Lindorff
A lot of people in the US media are asking why America's most famous whistleblower, 29-year old Edward Snowden, hied himself off to the city state of Hong Kong, a wholly owned subsidiary of the People's Republic of China, to seek at least temporary refuge.
Hong Kong has an extradition treaty with the US, they say. And as for China, which controls the international affairs of its Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, while granting it local autonomy to govern its domestic affairs, its leaders "may not want to irritate the US" at a time when the Chinese economy is stumbling.
These people don't have much understanding of either Hong Kong or of China.
TSA agent pulls woman's breast prosthesis out of her bra
I get tired of writing these posts. These abuses are so common (no, they're not "outliers") and the reaction of the public so apathetic, it just becomes wearying.
Read the rest at TSA News.
Privacy Died, and People Didn't Even Know It
The KGB alumni portion of the following, which sounds realistic, is actually fiction; the NSA portion, which sounds like science fiction, is actual news from the real world.
It's June again, and around the globe, in the northern hemisphere, alumni groups are gathering. In Russia, the KGBAA (KGB Alumni Association)--former officials of the Soviet Union's "Committee for State Security"--held their annual reunion this week at the Black Sea resort city of Sochi, nearly 22 years after the agency's dissolution in 1991.
Blue Steals Green: Police Corruption's the Dark Underside of the Drug War's Iceberg
By Linn Washington, Jr.
Drug-related corruption within the Philadelphia Police Department – once again – is the target of federal authorities.
This latest action by federal authorities involves two patrolmen charged with trafficking drugs and robbing suspected drug dealers while on-duty and in full uniform.
Another day, another abusive TSA experience
Another day, another abusive TSA experience. And why not? The government thinks it owns our thoughts, as the Big Brotheresque surveillance proves; why shouldn't it also own our bodies? These issues are all related. Yet the millions of willfully clueless out there refuse to acknoweldge it.

Expert review of Club La Santa
I can wholeheartedly recommend this unique resort attracting dedicated sports enthusiasts and Olympic champions, as well as novices and children. Club La Santa is a 21st century holiday camp for the super active. All of the apartments are simple and functional: don't expect luxury her. But the location and instruction on offer are nothing short of inspirational.
On the wild, unspoilt north-west coast of the island.
All of the 400 rooms in the four-storey building are simply furnished apartments, with kitchen, one to four bedrooms and patio/balcony/terrace. There are no double beds (just twin), and the mattresses are rather hard. Single visitors can be paired with another guest of the same sex to share costs of a double room.
Check availability and compare prices for Club La Santa
The resort features rather a lot of concrete, although attempts have been made to split it up with some lawn areas and plazas. The hotel block is made up of walkways called 'avenues', nominal garden areas and some small squares, although it does feel very much like a throw back holiday camp.
I found the self-service Atlántico restaurant a bit dingy, and the breakfast rather mediocre, although of course people don't come here for the food and many of them are self-catering. I preferred the simple, though cosy, La Bodega restaurant on a 'square' for pizza and the best seats in the house for evening entertainment. I suppose a sports café is inevitable in a set up like this, but the last thing I would think you would want to do after training hard all day is watch sporting events on TV.
The impressive centrepiece of the resort is the sprawling, lake-like leisure pool, but there is also an Olympic-sized swimming pool divided into lanes and a full-sized sports stadium. No less than 30 kinds of sports and activities are on offer here – indoor, outdoor and water – including everything from mini golf and mountain biking to boxing and ballroom dancing. Guests can enjoy a full programme of competitive and fun runs, coaching sessions, daytime activities and evening events and there is a well-equipped playground and club for children. For well deserved down time, there is a wellness centre with massages on offer.
The sport instruction here really is world class. Reception and waiting staff are pleasant enough, but I resented all the rules and the rather bossy, unsmiling receptionist when I checked in.
Check availability and compare prices for Club La Santa
Professional sports competitors, including Olympic champions, from all over the world, as well as keen sports enthusiasts training for special events or who just want to improve their fitness. A large number of families with children of all ages come to Club La Santa too.
Although the rooms are divided into categories with regard to their location - yellow, green and red - there is not an awful lot to choose from between them. Yellow rooms (the cheapest) tend to be on the lower floors and those in the green category are a bit more expensive with somewhat better views. The superior and most costly red rooms on the upper floors have some sea view, or access to one. Avoid using the overpriced resort supermarket. If you are self catering, bring whatever you can, or buy in the town.

National Archives Puts Photos On The Map
Thanks to an interactive photo history site called Historypin, you can now see the street where Civil War photographer Mathew Brady kept his studio. What's cooler is you can shift back and forth between the modern-day view of that street, and the 1890s view.
You can pin your old photos to a Google map on Historypin — or you can browse through photos that have been uploaded by major institutions. The National Archives, for example, announced today that it has joined the website, adding photos by Brady, photos from the Environmental Protection Agency's Documerica photographic documentation project of the 1970s, and historic scenes of Washington, D.C.
Take a tour of old D.C.; a few photos appear below. Or view more of the National Archives' photos on Historypin.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has told his players their win over Chelsea counts for nothing if they fail to beat Aston Villa on Monday. The champions have responded well since a dismal defeat at Southampton all but ended their hopes of retaining their Barclays Premier League crown last month. City thrashed Leeds in the FA Cup and deservedly overcame then third-placed Chelsea 2-0 but leaders Manchester United remain in complete control of title race. Mancini's men next travel to struggling Villa knowing any they cannot afford to let the intensity drop. The Italian said: "For us, it will be important. If we don't beat Aston Villa, it is like we didn't do anything against Chelsea. "For this reason it is important to beat Aston Villa and afterwards continue to go. "The season is not finished. It is impossible we can think it is finished now. "There are 11 games to the finish. It is our job to play all the games 100 per cent and try to win always." City and Mancini, of co...

'L'Arc de Stettino' – a new icon of Szczecin?
An Italian architect resident in Szczecin, Rudi Fontana, has proposed building a several hundred meter high concrete arch in Plac Grunwaldzki, in the very center of Szczecin.
The idea, first described in Szczecinblog in November, has recently gained more attention, being mentioned in the evening news on Monday, 16 November, as well as in Monday's edition of 'Gazeta Wyborcza'.
Rudi Fontana has explained his conception as follows:
"The consciousness of humans is constructed in such a way that it sees everything through the prism of one iconic object, usually architectural. When we hear of Paris, we see the Eiffel Tower, Rome – the Colosseum, Milan – the cathedral, Rio de Janeiro – Jesus Christ. This is a natural perception. Szczecin has many iconic buildings, yet lacks one impressive structure associated solely with the city. This arch could function as such a symbol."
He explained that his idea is based on the history of Szczecin:
"Paris' streets were commissioned by the Emperor Napoleon III on a 'star pattern', with the streets dynamically expanding from the center of the city. That was how 'the Square of the Star', later reamed after General De Gaulle, began, and where L'Arc de Triomphe is located. Szczecin's street plan has been created on exactly the same street grid, and Plac Grunwaldzki is our 'Place Charles de Gaulle'.
France is a unique nation, which is very proud of its achievements, having won many battles and founded many colonies, all of which have been chiseled onto the arch. The history of the settlement of Szczecin is entirely different. Here, it is difficult to boast of wars won and military triumphs. That's why our arch could symbolize the city's rebirth. For me, the point when the city rapidly began to transform itself, was the closure of the shipyard."
Rudi Fontana believes that, following the closure of the shipyard, Szczecin must reinvent itself:
"I have travelled and lived all over the world, I can observe Szczecin from a distance and I am delighted by its progress. In the course of just a few years, ul Struga, Hansa Tower, the Oxygen building, Brama Portowa, the philharmonic hall and the bulwark have all been finished or are under construction. This is no small beer. Foreign companies wishing to invest in Szczecin can see all this. But Szczecin still needs to make an indelible impression. When they hear the name they must associate it with something specific.
English editor, A native of the Isle of Wight, Warren has been running the language teaching company, Go! Languages, with his wife Małgorzata, since 1997. A fan of England, Portsmouth F.C. and Pogoń Szczecin, Warren will be contribing articles on football for the Szczecinian.

PREP GIRLS LACROSSE: Most players, coaches agree helmets not necessary
Casey Rector hears the question all the time. The parents of girls who are new to the sport of lacrosse and want to join the team at La Costa Canyon High will notice that the players don't wear helmets ---- as their male counterparts are required to ---- and ask: Should we be worried?
Rector's reply is quick and unequivocal: No, you shouldn't.
"I think we're totally fine without helmets," said Rector, the first-year coach of the Mavericks, who will play for the CIF San Diego Section Division I title against Poway on Saturday.
As the national conversation about head injuries in athletics intensifies, the latest sport under the microscope is lacrosse, the fastest-growing youth team sport in America. In the male version of the game, players are outfitted in helmets and pads, while the only protective equipment for females are eye guards and mouth guards. That leaves outsiders to wonder whether girls are being left exposed to a greater risk for concussions.
"Most people are familiar with men's lacrosse," said Ann Carpenetti, the managing director of game administration for US Lacrosse, the sport's national governing body. "It's a different game, but most people don't understand those differences. So they see a helmeted game and they see the girls playing a sport with the same name and they don't understand."
The truth is, North County coaches and players say, girls lacrosse is so different from boys lacrosse that it might as well be another sport entirely. Girls lacrosse is a finesse game in which body-checking and stick-to-head contact ---- whether intentional or not ---- are strictly prohibited. There's even a rule against shooting when a defender is in line with the goal.
US Lacrosse, too, continues to try to make the sport safer. For the current high school season, it instituted policies whereby a player who receives a yellow card (generally given for dangerous use of the stick) must leave the game for two minutes without a replacement, and a team that accumulates four yellow cards must play a "man down" for the rest of the game.
"I handed out only two cards last week in 12 games," said Adeline Connolly, who has been a girls lacrosse official in San Diego County for eight years. "The first yellow card is a pretty good deterrent."
For those who play the game, there's a fear that mandating helmets would alter the sport in a significant way ---- and not for the better.
"We're not whacking each other like the boys are," said Kiki Gibson, a La Costa Canyon junior who has committed to play at Oregon. "It's still aggressive, but to an extent. It would be like putting a helmet on a soccer player. You're still getting knocked, but not necessarily in the head, and we have rules against that.
"There's never really been a scenario where I feel I'm endangering myself by being on the field without a helmet."
Even with all the safeguards in place, head injuries in girls lacrosse do occur, and at a higher rate than some people within the sport are comfortable with. According to a study of injury data from the 2010-11 high school year conducted by Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, concussions were more common in lacrosse than any other girls sport (ahead of basketball and soccer) and a girl playing lacrosse was just as likely to sustain a concussion as her male counterpart.

'Community's' Dan Harmon Reveals the Wild Story Behind His Firing and Rehiring
TV's most controversial showrunner (and self-professed "rude asshole") renews his feud with Chevy Chase, recalls his attacks on NBC and Sony, reveals his regrets over the rape joke and details how Joel McHale helped him get his old job back.
In early May, Harmon got word via UTA's Gassner that Sony was entertaining the idea of asking him back. McHale reached out, too, to see whether he could have Harmon's permission to go to bat for his return. Harmon says he told his star what he had told his agent: "I'm not going to say yes to Sony so that they can go to NBC and say Dan wants to come back and have NBC dump me again. But if they can figure out what they want, I love my show, and I'm open to coming back." According to two sources, Sony execs recognized not only that the show had faltered without Harmon but also that he would be better equipped to handle a truncated season of 13 episodes. He also would bring with him McKenna, who has his respect and comedic sensibility. Ultimately, though, the determining factor for the studio -- and the primary reason NBC agreed -- was to appease McHale.

"Creatively speaking at least, his return kind of seems like the television universe righting itself," says the show's former co-showrunner Neil Goldman. "Dan is Community, and Community is Dan. Greendale is some weird manifestation of whatever the hell goes on in his one-of-a-kind brain, and each of those characters represents a different element of his psyche." Back in the writers room, Harmon is fully aware -- and ridden with anxiety -- that he's opening himself up to sky-high expectations. "Dan's untouchable right now, and if he were to go: 'Screw you. You fired me. I'm moving on,' he'd be able to keep that status," says his friend and former writing partner Rob Schrab. "But the very ballsy, Dan Harmon thing to do was to say, 'I'm going to go back and see this thing through.' "
Harmon has been back on the job for a matter of days and already, he says, he's a week behind schedule. "The feeling is familiar and delicious," he quips, noting that his first episode will be a palate cleanser, designed to reacquaint Community viewers with the characters' humanity. "I don't mean that we tasted anything bad," he says. "I just mean that because we tasted something different, there needs to be a reset." On a personal level, he's still making sense of the unprecedented chain of events, with his emotions ping-ponging between excitement and outrage. "Have you ever had a lover that breaks up with you for a year and then doesn't really tell you why, says that they're not ready for a relationship to make you feel better about getting dumped, and then you see them on Instagram hanging out at the same restaurants?" he says, adding: "When that person comes back and says, 'I miss you, I miss the way your hair smells,' how do you react to that? There's a slight feeling of vindication, but there's also a lot of 'Screw you.' "
Two days after speaking with this reporter, he acted on the latter feeling. During a Harmontown show at Hollywood's Nerdist Theater, he compared watching season four -- which he needed to do to prepare for season five -- to "being held down and watching your family get raped on a beach." The comments didn't sit well with NBC's Greenblatt and many involved with the show. The following day, Harmon was back in mea culpa mode, writing on his Tumblr: "I really need to do this whole 'saying things and thinking about other people' cycle in a different order at some point."
STORY: 'Community' Creator Dan Harmon Calls Season 4 'Unflattering,' Has Harsh Words for Studio
Asked about his recurring foot-in-mouth disease, Harmon grows serious. "I've always needed to express myself to strangers in order to feel OK about myself," he begins. But the desire -- need, even -- to air his feelings and frustrations, often at the expense of others, runs deeper: "If I'm feeling pain inside, I say what I'm feeling; and when I say it in the way that I say it, it makes people laugh, and then that makes the pain go away," he adds. "So whether it's through blogging or talking into a microphone, it's the thing that keeps me sane. I really look at it as a form of therapy."
After the latest experience, Harmon insists he has learned his lesson and won't be talking about work during Harmontown anymore, if for no other reason than he's hoping the stories about him in the coming months are focused not on controversy but on triumph. "I want to astound people with a season five that makes an unbeatable argument for a sixth season," he says. "I want the headlines to say, 'Holy crap, Dan Harmon pulled it off.' "

12-14 October 2015
The STFC Network, GeoRepNet, will hold its third conference in Edinburgh focusing on exploring all aspects of high technology transfer into geological repositories and other deep subsurface facilities. Talks in all areas of high technology are welcome, particularly in STFC areas such as astronomy, particle physics and planetary sciences instrumentation. Of particular interest are examples of how technology can be transferred from these areas into the monitoring and characterisation of deep subsurface facilities and geological repositories.
The disposal of waste, including nuclear waste (from the nuclear power industry and other nuclear applications) and carbon dioxide (to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and associated greenhouse warming) constitutes one of the major environmental technical challenges of the 21st Century and has great importance on the national and international level. In the US alone, there is 40,000 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel and 400,000 cubic metres of high level nuclear waste to be disposed. By funding and bringing together researchers involved in high technology transfer, GeoRepNet seeks to enhance the links between high technology and subsurface exploration.
There is no registration fee and registrants selected for talks will have travel costs paid.
Registration deadline is August 31st, 2015.

Zynga 4Q loss narrows as game maker cuts costs
Like Facebook, Zynga is trying to position itself as a mobile company as people spend more time on smartphones and tablet computers. The company said it had 72 million monthly players on mobile devices.
"Mobile, however, remains a more fragmented experience. Despite the incredible growth in mobile gaming, it's still hard for any of us to find people to actually play with," Pincus said in a conference call with analysts. "We're amazed that the number one way our 'Words With Friends' players find new opponents in their games is through the 'random' button. We know we can offer them something more compelling than that."
Zynga's chief operating officer, David Ko, said in an interview that growing the company's paying mobile user base is "part of a long-term strategy for us"
"Two years ago, about 20 people were focusing on mobile," he said. "Today we have almost the entire company focused on (the) mobile opportunity."
For the current quarter, Zynga said it expects an adjusted loss of 5 cents to 4 cents per share and revenue of $255 million to $265 million. Analysts were predicting a loss of 1 cent per share and revenue of $268 million.
Shares climbed 19 cents, or 6.9 percent, to $2.93 in after-hours trading after gaining 18 cents to close at $2.74 during the regular session. Zynga's stock has traded from $2.09 to $15.91 in the past 52 weeks.
