LILBURN -- Students in Rebecca Minor Elementary School's deaf and hard of hearing program got the chance Friday to present their wish lists to Santa Claus.
But this visit from Saint Nick was more than an opportunity for the children to ask for toys, games and bicycles. For the first time, many of the students were able to talk to Santa using American Sign Language.
Ashton Aubrey, 9, said it was the first time she had seen Santa sign.
"I think Santa coming to visit is good," Ashton said through an interpreter. "Really cool."
Ashton said she asked for a striped zebra blanket, guitar and a bicycle.
Jasmine Rivera, 9, said she planned to ask Santa for another puppy -- a female Yorkie. Her family already has a male Yorkie named Chocolate.
"I liked it when (Santa) came to see me," Jasmine said.
Jasmine said she wasn't surprised Santa learned to sign. She said she thinks he can speak Spanish, too. (In fact, Santa was played by Berkmar High teacher Greg Owen, who is deaf.)
Bonnie Reynolds, who teaches third- and fourth-grade students who are deaf and hard of hearing, said she thought Santa's visit was "wonderful."
"I have a deaf daughter, and this (level of service) wasn't always available to her when she was growing up," Reynolds said. "(Now), we really try to meet all of their needs."
Minor Elementary's deaf and hard of hearing program serves students from throughout Gwinnett County. The program is also offered at Berkmar Middle and Berkmar High.

This right is explicitly stated in the United Nations' "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" adopted in 1948. It is well proven that education is a powerful tool by which economically and socially marginalized adults and children can lift themselves out of poverty and participate fully as citizens. In Kansas, the constitutional responsibility for adequate funding of public education rests with our state government. Each year, elected policymakers debate about how this obligation should be fulfilled.

Everyone in Olympia is talking about how important education is these days. With a mandate from the state Supreme Court, the McCleary v. State ruling puts policymakers on the hook to find a way to fully fund basic education by 2018.
Parents, staff and students from school districts across the state — Trenton, Camden, Irvington, Gloucester City — shared horror stories of broken windows, collapsing roofs and choking mold in dilapidated schools at a meeting yesterday of the state Schools Development Authority.
The head of a western Massachusetts charter school says a student production of a play that retells the biblical story of Genesis with gay characters will go on as planned despite objections from some who say it's offensive to Christians.
The Education Department is investigating whether Seattle's public school district discriminates against black students by subjecting them to tougher and more frequent discipline than white students, agency and district officials said.
To add to the busy schedules of high school principals and assistant superintendents, they go door-to-door to speak with students—and their parents—in the Clark County (Nev.) School District. These students have dropped out of high school, and administrators are encouraging them to return and pursue a diploma.
An Alabama judge has blocked the signing of a hotly contested education bill that has divided the state legislature. Democrats are heralding the decision as a victory but state GOP leaders say the bill was passed fair and square and say the judicial branch needs to butt out of the legislative process.
A police officer has been suspended without pay as officials investigate an incident at a high school here in which his gun fired. Sean McCutcheon, an officer in the Lloyd, N.Y., police department and a school resource officer for Highland Central School District, accidentally discharged his gun at 1:38 p.m. Tuesday in the hallway of Highland High School here, the school district and police said.
Clark County Schools Superintendent Dwight Jones announced Tuesday evening that he is stepping down from the nation's fifth-largest school district. Jones, who was hired in October 2010, said he is leaving to take care of his ailing mother.
After two misses -- the first when the school board rejected the finalists, and the second, when the top contender withdrew after blistering public criticism over his perceived homophobia and top-down management style -- the community is looking for a superintendent that's a good fit for the diverse and demanding Berkeley, Calif. community. School trustees have picked Cedar Rapids, Iowa firm Ray & Associates to recruit and scrutinize candidates.

Can you PLEASE just look like your pictures?????
I'm looking for a guy who has written a profile that does NOT include: "I work hard, and play hard" (really? WTF does that even mean??) "I don't do drama" (feeling the need to add that phrase seems a bit dramatic) "I can have fun anywhere, anytime" (really? I find that hard to believe) "I'm at a GREAT place in my life, and I'm SO happy being single" (awesome...so...why are you on here?) Come on guys! I can only read SO many of these clichés before my mind begins to wander, and I think, "WOW. There must actually be someone out there making a fortune selling a book called 'Really Generic Things to Say About Yourself in an Online Dating Profile so you can Appeal to as many Women as Possible.." Lol! Why would you want to do that?? My goal is not to describe myself in some generic way that I think will attract the greatest number of men possible. On the contrary, I want to be as candid and honest about who I am as I can possibly be, and hopefully, attract that one man I have been looking for...the guy who, after reading everything I have to say, thinks to himself, "Okay, I can see where this chic might not be perfect for everyone, but I'm pretty sure she might be perfect for me". I get that most of us have fallen prey, at some point in our lives, to taking the easy way out, and just say whatever it is we think (or have been told) the opposite sex wants to hear; but what an exhausting waste of time! Can we all agree that nothing is worse than investing time and energy into getting to know someone, really digging them, and then watching in horror as, inevitably, their "true" self slowly ventures out of hiding? That is never a pretty scenario...but, an all too familiar one, that I'd really like to avoid if I can! So, I try to avoid reading profiles filled with "lines", or worn out clichés. I'm looking for authenticity, not perfection, but flawed authenticity. When it comes to this site, I'm 100% honest about who I am, flaws and all, (the few that I have...lol), and just letting the cards fall where they may. I can honestly say, good or bad, that what you see (and/or in this case, read) is what you get. So here is a little "authentic" snapshot of who I am... 1. I have a daughter who is almost 20. She is awesome. 2. I am divorced, and "drama free"...lol 3. I use more profanity than the average person. 4. I watch a DISTURBING amount of television. 5. I can get pretty loud when discussing something I'm passionate about. 6. I am very sarcastic. 7. I love animals. Possibly, more than I love humans. 8. I do not believe in God, but have a great respect for the belief systems of others. 9. I LOVE music....I wish my life had a soundtrack. 10. I am crazy competitive...and, full disclosure, a pretty sore loser. 11. Politically, I consider myself Libertarian. 12. I hate beer, LOVE wine. 13. I procrastinate. 14. I LOVE movies 15. I am very inquisitive, I ask a lot of questions. 16. Half of me is a fiercely independent "hear me roar" kind of girl, and the other half is very delicate and feminine, appreciates good manners, and men who believe in "old school" chivalry. 17. Finally, unlike so many women I know, I wasn't born with the gene that, apparently, compels a person to take a minimum of 1,000 "selfies" each day, and proceed to send them to every person they know, for no apparent reason. So please don't ask. If you made it this far, I'm impressed! You clearly have patience. Brevity is not a friend of mine. Lol. Send my an e-mail if you're interested, I can't wait to hear from you! P.S. Please don't contact me if you DON'T have: a profile picture, a job, a place to live, a vehicle, live more than an hour away from (Heights), have lied about your age to stay inside specific "search" parameters, or are over the age of 30, and have a "seeking someone" age range that begins at 18. That's just disturbing.

Some other viewpoint
I live in the Heights, so there are more than a few places I love here in the area...but a "hot spot", to me, is really anywhere I'm with good company...sitting on the couch watching T.V. can be a great "hot spot" as far as I'm concerned!

Marchand ends his drought, lifts Bruins over Rangers
It took eight games, 30 periods, and 144 minutes of ice time, but the wait is over. Brad Marchand's overtime goal -- his first of the Stanley Cup playoffs -- lifted the Bruins over the Rangers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, 3-2, Thursday night at the Garden.
After leading the Bruins with 18 goals in the truncated season, the left winger had been stymied by the Maple Leafs in the first round and, through three periods, the Rangers.
But with 4:40 left in overtime, he managed to get just enough space, thanks to a poke check by Zdeno Chara and a quick pass from Patrice Bergeron, to bury a shot and end his drought, putting the Bruins up 1-0 in the series.
"It's always frustrating," Marchand said. "But there's so many other areas of the game that you want to do well in. It was nice to get that first one so hopefully they keep coming."
Marchand had left the Bruins morning skate early with what coach Claude Julien termed a minor issue. But there was still concern about his availability. The third-year player remarked afterward that he just hates morning skates and needed to get his legs underneath him. He felt better Thursday night.
"I might just have to [skip more practices]," Marchand joked.
"I felt good tonight. I felt pretty good last game, too. Obviously the Toronto series wasn't my best series, but I felt good tonight and just want to keep building on it.
"It's kind of a blur," Marchand said. "From the second it goes in to see everybody jump on the ice and surround you, it's a bit of a blur. Obviously a huge adrenaline rush and very excited."

MINNEAPOLIS Jared Allen stood near his locker, a nasty gash across his nose from having his helmet pushed off during Thursday's game, looking every bit like he took the full brunt of a punishing fight. Allen talked about a complete defensive letdown the likes of which Minnesota hadn't had this season. He gave credit to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Thursday's 36-17 win and setting the tone by running the ball at the Vikings' once-proud run-defense. "Hats off to them, they came in here and kicked our butts," Allen said. "Just top to bottom, I don't know if we overlooked them or not, but it's an embarrassing game for us." Minnesota's defense, which keyed the team's surprising start, had been shredded by little-known rookie running back Doug Martin. Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman hit just enough big passes, especially on third downs, to leave the Vikings (5-3) scratching their heads for answers into a long break following the Thursday night game, the only scheduled national TV a...

This is my new mascara! I am in love with it. After years of searching for the perfect mascara from designer to discount brands, I have finally found the one. This makes my eyelashes very long, defined, and with lots of volume. It's everything I could ask for in a mascara.
I will add, however, that I am very fortunate to have long, thick eyelashes naturally. So, I'm not sure how much of it is the mascara and how much of it is my genetic jackpot in this area! That said, this has emphasized this trait of my face so that it looks like I'm wearing false lashes (in a good way).
For the price, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. It's not going to break the bank.

I wanted to give this a try after having used Super Thick Lash forever, and I prefer STL to this mascara, but it's still good.
This mascara isn't dramatic, but it does produce very feathery, separated, smooth lashes. It doesn't droop curled lashes, smudge, transfer to my upper lids, or leave a black mess around my eyes after I wash my face. It's not clumpy, spidery, or fibrous and tacky on the lashes.
The only reason I like Super Thick Lash better is that it's more dramatic, and it creates a thick, dramatic, dark lash quickly. You have to really take some time to build up your lashes with Professional (blue tube), and it still doesn't create huge, dramatic lashes.
However, if you want a soft, fluttery, natural lash, check into this mascara. Also, it does not seem to dry out as quickly as STL, so that may be a plus to consider.

After trying about 2 dozen mascaras from very high end to dirt cheap drugstore brands 2 summers ago, I have finally found THE ONE!
First let me tell you, I'm an awful mascara perfectionist, I look for very long, very separated, clump free lashes that are perfectly defined, I have shortish soft and thin lashes naturally and the most sensitive, watery and redness prone eyes. I get watery eyes almost everyday, may it be pollens, perfume, makeup or simply the wind blowing. So I bought this mascara in waterproof, first like I usually do, (but read on for washable) All mascaras non waterproof, and even some that are waterproof end up on my dark circles after an hour or two making them darker. But I fell in love with this one, very waterproof, completely and utterly beautiful lashes, and people always think I'm wearing falsies because my lashes suddenly look so long and separated. I always curl before applying, then apply 2-3 coats and this stays curled and never flakey all day everyday.
The downside for me is this isn't available where I live in Germany but thank gods for eBay I order it from US or the Netherlands. And one time I accidentally ordered the non-waterproof smudge free version, this is almost as good, and it is the first washable mascara I can use without looking like Alice Cooper within 2 hours, believe me I've tried over 50 mascaras in my 20 years of making up. So to all the girls out there who are still looking for their HG, I sincerely recommend this, give it a try, because it is inexpensive and you have nothing to lose when buying this, but everything to gain because it is absolutely divine, and I think you will agree :)

I have been using this for a few years now. Mascara is my one make up product I cannot live without. If I have no time at all to put on my makeup, I can put on mascara and it wakes my whole face up. My eyelashes are already long and curved but tipped in blonde so they tend to disappear on my face. Mascara is an instant make over for me. That being said, I've tried them all, from the cheap to the uber expensive. I believe you get what you pay for with many things, but mascara isn't one of them. This stuff works just as good if not better than most of the expensive brands I've tried. It goes on thick without having to apply multiple layers, it doesn't clump, it doesn't flake off into my eyes during the day, and it doesn't seem to dry my lashes out and make them break or fall out. I get compliments on my eyes when I wear this. Mascara is one of those things that really seems to depend on the person and their lash type, but this is so cheap it is worth a try.

I have been suckered into buying almost every type of mascara, and I constantly find myself coming back to this one. I absolutely love this. I usually buy the one with the curved brush in black and it works WONDERS. At my local Walmart it is only $4 which is a steal. It adds crazy length and volume to my eyelashes. If I do a couple coats using this mascara it looks like I have falsies on. Tons of people comment me on my lashes when I use this mascara. The packaging isn't fancy, but I don't really care how it looks. It could have the prettiest packaging, but if it doesn't work then it isn't worth it. This mascara is absolutely incredible. I love this stuff and for the price it is definitely an amazing deal. I constantly repurchase this stuff and will continue to repurchase it until they stop making/selling it.

I have tried numerous mascaras in my life --both high end and low end--and this is as good as any and better than most. My honest opinion is that mascara is one cosmetic in which a solid drugstore product can truly compete with the higher-end products. You can pay $5 or $30 and your lashes will look essentially the same. That's $25 that could have been better spent. I am sure some would argue this but this has been my experience.
Anyway, back to the mascara...
It does not clump, applies evenly and can be layered. Somehow my lashes are still soft after use (instead of hard and sticky). It makes them nice and black, fuller, more separated and longer. It does not irritate my eyes. It does not goop up and end up in my eyeball. The wand is the perfect size.
I am going to try Maybelline Rocket Volume next but if I don't like it, I will be going back to this one.

Bought because there were no other options at a tiny pharmacy. It's great for a clean, everyday look. No smudging, can layer.

I have medium-length thin and sparse lashes, and the only waterproof mascara I have found that does not flake/smudge/budge on my monolid eyes is the Heroine Make Long and Curl/Volume and Curl mascara, but it is not readily accessible to me in Canada. I remember liking the Super Thick lash mascara by CG (Non-WP), except it didnt hold a curl, so after doing some research, I bought this one.
It sounded promising, but it did not leave me with the results I want from a mascara. That is: Holds a curl, defines, stays in place, and adds a bit of volume and length...basically what every mascara-user wants, right?
Anyway, It actually made my lashes droop a bit, and I cannot stand (!!) the strong chemical scent my tube had (idk if its just mine). But I decided to give it a fair chance so I wore it for the day anyway.
Within 2 hours, I already had raccoon smudges under my eyes, and I do NOT rub my eyes/have watery eyes. When I got home and began removing it, it took way too long for my oil-based eye-makeup remover to break the mascara down.
My Heroine Make mascara does also take a long time to remove, but it gives me the effect I want when I wear it and does not budge (Even cried with it on), so I do not mind spending extra time removing it.
Spending 5 minutes removing a mascara that does not even work is just unacceptable for me.
Since this IS a cheap mascara ($6.99 CDN for me) and many people seem to like it (yay!), I do still recommend you to give it a chance, but personally, I am CERTAIN that there are better drugstore mascaras out there. I just need to find the one (for me)..

Did nothing for me. No length, volume or separation and it was way too dry. Got this on clearance for like 1.50 at a grocery store. I can see why.

I was pleasantly surprised by this mascara! I've been trying to slowly stop using high end products in order to save money. To date, only a couple brands of higher-end mascara have been smudge-proof on me *except* for this one! I thought Full + Soft might work, but once the climate started warming up, it smudged like the rest of 'em.
I get all-day wear with this mascara meaning no flaking, upper-lid smudges, or 'coon eyes. This is true in both dry and humid climates. It layers really well if I apply it while it's still wet. Removal is fairly uncomplicated. Also, the black is a true black as far as I can tell.
I'm really happy with this one, so, if you're on the fence about it, give it a whirl!

Word is there will be no more imported until mid/late December. We're in the process of building inventory now, so we should be good to go well before riding season.
This is great news,
I missed this thread as it was posted the day after I left for AK on July 30th, I unfortunatley only made it to Whitehorse due to a transmission bearing failure on my R100GS, Had to limp down to Skagway and take the ferry back home to Bellingham. The good news is its fixed and ready to go again next July on the exact same route I had planned (Deadhorse) last trip. So I'll be contacting you in the near future for a change out of tires, and some stickers while I'm up in your neck of the woods.
Even with the bearing failure I have to say it was the greatest ride of my life, Got to ride into Hyder and Skagway, So if anyone asks me if I've ever been to Alaska on a bike I can say, Sure have, Twice!

The San Antonio Spurs will begin their off-season process soon and will have to come to a decision on the Ginobili situation. Manu Ginobili is a free agent and is coming off an abysmal performance in the NBA Finals. This puts the Spurs in an awkward position this off season; it's clear they what him back but not for anything near the 14 million dollars he made last season. Ginobili knows that he is reaching the end of his career, so he should be expecting a pay cut. So if you're the Spurs the question is "How low do you go?" How do you find a respectable balance? Despite the dilemma you can count on the Spurs somehow re-signing the legendary guard. In return the Spurs will expect Ginobili to still contribute in a legitimate way, not on an all-star level but still contribute. So what things can Ginobili do to his game to stay relevant for the Spurs? .... ....to see what Manu has to do follow the link to David Rountree's article at MVPTexas!

If you want to make your camping trip as stress free and as convenient as possible then Khyam tents might be just what you need. Generally you have two main options when it comes to choosing a Khyam tent and that is whether you want a pole and sleeve tent or a quick erect tent.
Pole and Sleeve Vs Quick Erect?
Pole and sleeve Khyam tents are the most common types of tents available. You put them up by erecting the poles through the sleeves and it depends upon the size of the tent as to how easy this actually is. If your tent is a two person tent then it will typically be easy to erect than a family tent would be!
If you are travelling with the family or as part of a large group then a Khyam quick erect tent might be better suited. The Khyam quick erect Longleat tent is excellent for families and groups as it comes with easier poles to put up and it even has an electric point too. The tent sleeps 8 people and there are two doors as well as two separate sleeping areas. It is one of Khyam's more spacious tents and it is certainly worth purchasing if you can afford it.
Who wouldn't want to choose a quick erect tent over the typical pole and sleeve version? Often the most stressful part of the camping trip is erecting and dismantling the tent. So Khyam tents offer you the perfect solution with quick erect Rapidex poles.
Overall Khyam tents come in a large variety of shapes and sizes. They are convenient and they are all created using high quality materials. Why not take a look online today to see the full Khyam tent range? If you compare different prices online then you may also be able to save money too.

Temperatures to plummet into 30s next week
Get out and enjoy the warmth this weekend because a chill is right around the corner.
The abnormally warm weather the Treasure Coast grew accustomed to this month will end New Year's Day with lows expected to dip into the low 40s and high 30s, according to the National Weather Service.
"The cold front is coming through late in the day on Tuesday," said Tim Sedlock, forecaster with the NWS in Melbourne, adding the system will be the coldest to sweep across the area this season. "There's some gusty winds behind it, too."
Florida saw temperatures well above average for December, often more than 10 degrees higher than normal. But trade the sandals for socks and shoes after you celebrate New Year's Eve on Monday night because highs in the 80s will be just a memory of 2007.
"We might struggle to get up to 60 on Wednesday," Sedlock said.
The expected low Wednesday night is 39 degrees. Showers also creep into the forecast for the beginning of the week.
Heaters might kick on at night, but Sedlock said the "well below normal" temperatures shouldn't break records — at least on the Treasure Coast.
"Maybe north of Orlando it will break some records, but we aren't expecting record lows" as far south as Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties.
For this weekend, temperatures should waver in the high 70s and low 80s. There's a 20 percent chance of rain on Sunday.
Today: Mostly sunny, high near 81. South wind around 5 mph. Lows drop to 66.
Sunday: Cloudy with a 20 percent chance of rain. Highs near 79, lows around 68.
New Year's Eve: Partly sunny with a high near 78. The low is 60 at night.
New Year's Day: A 20 percent chance of showers, increasing at night. High in the mid-70s. Low around 52.
Wednesday: Partly cloudy with rain and 20-mph wind, highs in the low 60s. Low around 39.

Net income for the 2012 fourth quarter consisted primarily of adjusted pre-tax income from operations of $7.0 million, offset by $1.6 million of asset impairments and $0.4 million of tax expense. The prior year fourth quarter loss consisted primarily of adjusted pre-tax income from operations of $1.4 million, offset by $4.5 million of asset impairments. The Company reported net income of $13.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $33.9 million, or $1.81 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2011. New contracts for 2012's fourth quarter were 673 - increasing 33% from 2011's fourth quarter of 505. For 2012, new contracts increased 27% from 2,381 in 2011 to 3,020 in 2012. M/I Homes had 131 active communities at December 31, 2012 compared to 122 a year ago. The Company's cancellation rate was 21% in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 23% in 2011's fourth quarter and for 2012 it was 17%. Homes delivered in 2012's fourth quarter were 887 compared to 667 in 2011's fourth quarter. Homes delivered for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 increased 21% to 2,765 compared to 2011's deliveries of 2,278. Backlog of homes at December 31, 2012 had a sales value of $283 million, with backlog units of 965 and an average sales price of $293,000. At December 31, 2011, backlog sales value was $181 million, with backlog units of 676 and an average sales price of $267,000. Robert H. Schottenstein, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "We are very pleased with our fourth quarter and full year results highlighted by a $47 million bottom-line improvement over last year and a return to full year profitability. Several factors contributed to the year-over-year improvement in our profitability, including a 27% increase in new contracts, a 21% increase in homes delivered, and a 200 basis point increase in adjusted gross margins, with 2012 margins reaching 19.5%. This material improvement in our margins was the result of continued solid performance of our newer communities and the strategic shift in our geographic footprint, which resulted in more closings in our better performing markets as well as pricing power in select locations and submarkets. We ended the year with nearly 300 units more in backlog than a year ago, representing our highest year-end backlog, both in units and dollar value since 2006."Mr. Schottenstein continued, "Our financial condition remains strong. We ended the year with $154 million in cash, a 39% net debt to net capital ratio, and no outstanding borrowings under our $140 million credit facility. Looking ahead, with macro housing conditions continuing to show noticeable signs of improvement, we are excited about our future. From an operating standpoint, we will stay focused on improving our profitability, growing our aggregate market share in our existing markets, expanding our community count and continuing the successful expansion of our footprint into Texas, with the opening of our first communities in Austin later this year. We ended 2012 with momentum and believe we are very well positioned to build upon that momentum as we look to 2013 and beyond." The Company will broadcast live its earnings conference call today at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. To listen to the call live, log on to the M/I Homes' website at mihomes.com, click on the "Investors" section of the site, and select "Listen to the Conference Call."

Management finds these measures to be useful in evaluating the Company's performance because they disclose the financial results generated from homes the Company actually delivered during the period, as the asset impairments and certain other write-offs relate, in part, to inventory that was not delivered during the period. They also assist the Company's management in making strategic decisions regarding the Company's future operations. The Company believes investors will also find these measures to be important and useful because they disclose financial measures that can be compared to a prior period without regard to the variability of asset impairments and certain other write-offs and unusual charges. In addition, to the extent that the Company's competitors provide similar information, disclosure of these measures helps readers of the Company's financial statements compare the Company's financial results to the results of its competitors with regard to the homes they deliver in the same period. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in methods of calculation and charges being excluded.

AUSTIN, Texas Professor Linda S. Mullenix of the University of Texas School of Law has been invited to be a scholar-in-residence at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Study and Conference Center in Italy this summer. Mullenix will work on a book entitled "Aggregate Resolution of Group Harms in a Global Context," an outgrowth of her two-decade study of mass tort litigation in the United States.
The Rockefeller Foundation invites 15 scholars at a time for month-long residencies at Bellagio. In choosing residents, the Foundation seeks applicants of achievement and promise who are addressing significant issues or tackling substantial scholarly problems.
Mullenix' project will focus on the ways in which other countries and legal systems resolve the problem of aggregate or group harms.
"This is a very significant honor for Linda and for the Law School. These invitations are very hard to get," said UT Law Dean Bill Powers. "Relatively few law professors are invited to Bellagio, but when they are, it is always scholars of caliber of Yale's Guido Calabresi, Duke's Paul Carrington, and NYU's Oscar Chase. It is fitting, indeed, that Linda has joined this illustrious company."
"Mass tort litigation is now a well-recognized phenomenon in the law and the media in the United States," said Mullenix, whose past research resulted in the publication of the first and only casebook on mass tort litigation in 1996. "Other countries resolve the problem of aggregate harms in a variety of different ways than which we approach these problems in the United States." Mullenix teaches a seminar, entitled "Class Actions in a Global Context," which explores the ways that other legal systems resolve group harms without the procedural mechanism of the American-style class action.
Mullenix, who holds the Rita and Morris Atlas Chair in Advocacy at UT Law, also teaches federal civil procedure, mass tort litigation, and state class action procedure. She is the author of nine books including State Class Action Practice and Procedure (CCH 2000), Understanding Federal Courts (Lexis-Matthew Bender 1998), Mass Tort Litigation (West Group 1996), Federal Courts in the Twenty-First Century (Lexis-Matthew Bender 1996), and Moore's Federal Practice (Lexis-Matthew Bender, 2d and 3d eds.). She is a contributing editor for Preview of Supreme Court Cases and a regular columnist on complex litigation for the National Law Journal. She is also a member of the American Law Institute, Associate Reporter for the Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers, and a consultative member of the Transnational Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Complex Litigation Project. She has written hundreds of articles for publication in numerous law reviews.
Since the Center's opening in 1959, scholars, scientists, artists, writers, policymakers and practitioners from all over the world have pursued their creative and scholarly work at the Center through individual residencies and group workshops. The Center sits on top of a hilly peninsula in the middle of Lake Como in the foothills of the Italian Alps, two hours northeast of Milan near the Swiss border.
"Other scholars who have had the opportunity to spend time
at Bellagio as scholars-in-residence have greatly benefited from having a block
of time to study, research and write, unimpeded by outside constraints," Mullenix
said. "Also, scholars who have resided at Bellagio have greatly valued the opportunity
to spend intensive time in the company of other scholars in an extraordinary
setting. I am greatly looking forward to the opportunity afforded by this residency."

They beat the Bengals in the wild-card round last season, too. The victory didn't tell us anything about the progress of the organization.

56 year old man | Carson, CA, USA | Seeking women 35-45 within 50 miles
Looking for love.
Let's face it, there are so many beautiful women on Match and many have profiles and pics that are enticing to say the least. For a long time I was guarded, protecting myself from being hurt and raising my two daughters by myself. I'm looking for a woman who is not interested in games, straight forward, romantic, open and honest with an understanding of what a partnership, especially a long term one can be. I would like the opportunity to impress you with me and my passions, not what I can do for you. I like gong to the ocean and watching the waves roll in, going to jazz concerts, just sitting enjoying company in my house. Playing backgammon, chess, dominoes are my favorite games. I am a movie watcher and keeping up to date on current events and news. I like all kinds of foods and don't mind cooking and grilling and enjoy them while watching football and the Lakers. A sunset, a night lit by the full moon is great fun to enjoy at the beach. Although I don't want any more childrenI have no issues or reservations for a woman with children.
