at The Supreme Court of Texas. Photo courtesy of the Texas Bar Journal.
AUSTIN, Texas — Just weeks after an historic Supreme Court of Texas hearing on the status of legal services for the poor, two Texas law schools, The University of Texas at Austin and Baylor University School of Law, have agreed to provide scholarships for students who commit to practice law with recognized legal aid organizations.
The William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law at The University of Texas School of Law and Baylor University School of Law have established the Equal Justice Scholarships, which will be awarded to students with strong academic credentials as well as demonstrated commitment to public service. Upon graduation from law school, the scholarship recipients, in accordance with their commitment, will practice law at legal aid organizations for at least three years.
"It is crucial that all law students understand the need to make our legal system available to everyone," said Bill Powers, dean of The University of Texas School of Law. "These scholarships will underscore that message. They will also give critical support to students who plan careers in public interest law. We are delighted to work with the Access to Justice Commission to help bring this about."
The Texas Access to Justice Commission, charged with overseeing the legal aid delivery system in Texas, has worked closely with the two law schools to implement the scholarship program. James B. Sales, a 1960 alumnus of UT Law, is chair of the Commission and a partner in the Houston office of Fulbright & Jaworski, hopes that other Texas law schools will be encouraged to create similar scholarships.
"Texas law schools have the unique and professionally important opportunity to instill in their students the importance of affording access to our justice system to all residents of Texas, regardless of their economic status," Sales said. "Once again, UT and Baylor have assumed a leadership role in the legal profession's service to the community and have demonstrated their commitment to equal justice under the law. The Commission is endeavoring to work with all Texas law schools to implement some form of scholarship program that will, in the long term, provide more lawyers to serve poor and low-income Texans."
According to the American Bar Association, law school graduates carry an average of $77,000 in school loan debt. Yet, the average entry-level salary for a legal aid attorney is approximately $36,000 per year. The association recommends several strategies to alleviate the burden, including loan repayment or forgiveness programs and law school scholarships and fellowships for graduates who are willing to practice law with legal aid providers.
"Baylor Law School's program instills in our students that the law, and their privilege as members of the bar, must be used to serve all the citizens of our state and nation, including most importantly, those who are marginalized," said Brad Toben, dean of Baylor Law School. "This scholarship program will make it possible for our graduates to serve where they are truly most needed."
Legal aid currently meets only 25 percent of the legal needs of poor Texans. To address this dilemma, the Texas Access to Justice Commission has undertaken a broad-based approach to increase access to the justice system for the poor. In 2002, the Commission created the Texas Student Loan Repayment Assistance Program to assist legal aid lawyers with law school loan debt. To date, the Commission has provided more than $45,000 to legal aid lawyers in Texas. The State Bar of Texas recently committed an additional $70,000 to the program. Despite these efforts, student loan repayment presents a major obstacle to graduates working for legal aid providers.
The Commission has also launched an ambitious five-year strategic plan, which includes the creation of an endowment fund, increasing corporate support, formulating programs to expand pro bono legal services and engaging law schools in legal aid issues.
The William Wayne Justice Center at U.T. School of Law has committed to fund three scholarships, collectively valued at $135,000. UT will implement one scholarship each year over the next three years. Baylor University School of Law has committed to fund two Equal Justice Scholarships, collectively valued at $143,000. The first scholarship will begin in 2005; the second will begin in 2007. Both law schools will evaluate the possibility of funding additional scholarships in the future.

The Office of Faculty Development offers and recommends several programs and courses for the faculty of the School of Medicine.
The Junior Faculty Development Course is a five-month career development course designed especially for junior faculty. Featuring a diverse faculty selected from throughout the School of Medicine, the School of Public Health and the Goizueta Business School, this course presents information necessary for academic success in a variety of formats including didactic presentations, panel discussions, group and individual exercises, and case-based problem solving. Because space is limited in this course, we encourage early nominations.
The Faculty Development Lecture Series, presented throughout the year by senior faculty within the medical center, covers practical topics aimed at assisting faculty in their career development. Sessions are held monthly in School of Medicine Building and are videotaped for later on-line viewing.
New faculty orientation is required for all new faculty hired after October 2013 and highlights topics specific to the School of Medicine such as promotion, faculty polices, and reporting external activities. It provides information geared toward facilitating faculty members' academic, clinical and research pursuits as well. This year's orientation will be held on Monday, October 27, 2014, from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. in the Winship Ballroom of Dobbs University Center (The DUC). Attendees must register in advance.
The Office of Faculty Development hosts two CV Building Workshops each academic year to assist faculty with the preparation of promotion documents. These workshops and information sessions include a didactic presentation reviewing a sample CV, a Faculty Committee for Appointments and Promotions (FCAP) panel discussion as well as small group sessions with hands-on guidance from session leaders.

One of the first things that caught my eye was something moving through the air !
It was a good bit of time before it reappeared on the other side of the building.
A gondola !
A little later in our walk I see that it goes up quite a ways and even seems to disappear across the mountains.
Which is does actually.
This is called Ober Gatlinburg.
The Gondola takes you to a Ski Resort and Amusement Park up in the Smoky Mountains.
And has been doing so since 1962.
Then a giant Skillet catches my eye.
Crockett's Breakfast Camp
And it appears they only serve breakfast !
Open 7 AM to 1 PM 7 Days a Week.
Across the street is the Cherokee Grill.
The dark stone and the statues caught my eye here.

Some bear cubs we walked by.
And Gatlinburg has their own Personalized Manhole Covers !
Then there was the Hollywood Star Cars Museum.
I had just seen this car when we watched NCIS the other night.
This is the same car used in "The Bucket List".
I was wondering if these cars were the orginals or replicas of famous cars used in movies and TV.
I wondered how a place in Gatlinburg, TN would be the place to send a famous movie car.
This helped prove that at least this car was original.
Their list of famous Automobiles.
Gotta love the Batmobile !
Looks like Herbie shrank in the rain !

You can not miss this tower as you walk down the street.
It is an observation tower called the Gatlinburg Space Needle.
Gatlinburg Space Needle was built in 1969.
And it does have two elevators.
Here is a webcam on the Space Needle so you can see what is around the area.
Then there was one of the Ripley's buildings and Bubba Gump Shrimp.
This Ripley's was a little scarier than most.
Actually there are two Ripley's places right next to each other.
The scary one is Ripley's Haunted Adventure.
And the Ripley's Moving Theater.
It is a 3D movie theater where the seats move as you watch the movie.
Just to make it that much more exciting!
And a cute dinosaur you should look at closely.

Then right up the street is the Ripley's Believe it or Not Odditorium.
Looks like it has been through an earthquake !
This was a large marble ball floating on water slowly spinning around.
A replica of Optimus Prime actually made in Thailand out of Auto Parts.
Standing next to a giant tire.
More stuff sitting outside to get your attention.
A Long Road Home
This was animated like it was riding a 'bicycle' ?
Yes, that caught my eye !

Thistle Dew Nicely !
This looked better in person.
It was shiny and there are spikes coming off the wheel covers.
I don't imagine he tows much with that !
This is one of those Hillbilly Miniature Golf Courses.
I have never played golf on a hill before.
Then there is The World of Illusions.
Nice place to land a plane !
I had also seen this ski lift going up the side of a hill.
This is another observation platform.
They call it Gatlinburg Sky Lift.

A really nice old truck.
That is at a Moonshiners Paradise, which might explain this !
Now that I liked !
It was also animated.
I did feel sorry for the poor guy !

Then there were these fine folks.
It is set up like a circus side show in the front of the building.
One of the trapeze guys swinging overhead.
Blindshot Barnaby's !
It was set up like a circus.
After looking this up it is actually an Indoor Circus Black Light Golf attraction.
They also had a House of Mirrors behind these guys.
I just hope that was not part of the indoor golf !
This nice little building looks like it might have been a Tourist Center at one time long ago.
Some nice big Pinwheels as we are almost back to the bike.
And ready to head back to Cherokee.
So Gatlinburg, TN was not so bad.
I really did not know what to expect.
There is a lot to do here, but it is not my kind of place.
For me personally, I would rather be riding up in the clouds.

Once back in Cherokee we had dinner at this nice old restaurant opened in 1946.
They had a nice picture of one of the hotels from the 1950's.
It is no longer there.
It use to be located across the street from where we were staying.
The Newfound Lodge Restaurant was next door to our hotel.
And tomorrow we would be leaving and heading north toward home.

But alas, it is time to head back North.
Another ride out of Cherokee, NC past Tinkerbell, Cherokee Trader and Sequoyah.
Then onto US-19 N through the new tourist area.
Past the casino and off to the East of the Smoky Mountains.
This section of US-19 runs through the Cherokee Indian Reservation in North Carolina.
We hook up with a connector road and get onto I-40 W and reach the Tennessee Boarder.
For an Interstate 40 is a pretty nice road.
The views are not that great because trees are grown up along both sides of the highway.
We reach our exit off I-40 and head N on US-321.
Which most of the four lane highway was not on my GPS, so I am riding through green fields on the screen !
And at this point we are leaving the mountains off to our West.

US-321 took us right through Greeneville, TN, which is where our first stop was.
Andrew Johnson was our 17th President.
If you know who the 16th President was you know how he came into office!
Yes, he was President Abraham Lincoln's Vice President for his second term.
I found out a lot about Andrew Johnson.
He did a whole lot more than I realized !
Every sign I read told of something new he had done during his four years as President and not to mention all that he had done before that and after that.
He was the only US President to return to the Senate after being President !
This is the house he bought in 1831.
He lived here until he bought his new house in 1851.
When I was looking up information before our trip I found it confusing.
The National Historical Site is located here at the corner of North College Street & East Depot Street.
This house faces College St.
At this location there is something on all four corners relating to Andrew Johnson:
- The house you see here.
- His Taylor Shop was across College St and is where the museum and NHS is centered.
- Across from that is a statue of President Andrew Johnson.
- And on the other corner is a replica of the house he was born in in Raleigh, NC.
Don't worry, you will see all of them !
Anyway, here is an older picture of this house.
Parking for the NHS is behind this house.
One of the first things I learn is that Andrew Johnson ran away from a previous internship at the age of 15, which in those days made him a fugitive !
He straightened that out later in his life at some point.
When he came to Greeneville he fell in love and married Eliza McCardle.
They had five children together.
The inside of the house was fairly small.
Perhaps that explains the five kids !
I at first thought the walls were made of stone.
They looked like it and were hard like rock.
Turned out that it was just the plastering techniques they used back in those days.
And the fancy painting made the tough exterior look like stone.
An interesting old lock.
The basement was only partially under the house.
The kitchens was down here unlike today where it is a major part of a home.
And they did not bother to try and remove the bedrock, they just built over it.
The National Park Service calls this Andrew Johnson's Early Home.

Here is some of the information posted in this house.
And Alderman is A member of a municipal legislative body in a town or city.
Pretty much like being on a Township or City Council.

We head across the street to the Andrew Johnson National HIstoric Site.
Inside is a museum with lots of interesting stuff.
This is his field desk from when he was Military Governor of Tennessee from 1862-64.
I am still trying to figure out what that first letter is !
One of Lincoln's second term campaign posters.
I am pretty sure this was the tie that Johnson wore to his Inauguration.
The Bible he took the Oath of Office on.
Sorry my pictures did not turn out well in this museum for some reason.
This was part of the Oath of Amnesty Ceremony that Johnson conducted.
It seems he took a similar path that Abraham Lincoln had laid out in restoring the United States after the war.
That is part of what got him in trouble so soon with political foes.
This was one of the things I found interesting.
I had no idea the Transatlantic Cable was laid this early.
From what I can gather this was for a second cable that was laid in 1866 during Johnson's term.
The first cable laid in 1854-58 did not last long on the ocean floor! A total of three weeks !
A beautiful basket made from Ivory given to Mrs. Johnson by the Queen of what is now Hawaii.
Queen Emma was the first queen to ever visit the White House.
Then there was the whole Impeachment debacle !
A political move by those not happy with the way Johnson was being lenient, but stern, toward the South after the war.
His idea was to keep the United States together and not make it harder then it had already been.
I am still a little confused about this whole situation.
He was apparently impeached, but was later acquitted.
This is the acquittal vote.
So he remained President of the United States and fulfilled the term he was placed in after Lincoln's assassination.
Andrew Johnson was also noted for the following during his four years as President.
- Purchase of Alaska
- Ratification of the 13th Amendment
- Ratification of the 14th Amendment
- Nebraska became a State
- Congressional Medal of Honor awarded Dr. Mary Edwards Walker for her services during the Civil War. She remains the first and only women to receive the medal.
- Helped bring about the Grange to update the agricultural work in the South.
In his lifetime he held just about every political office one can have on his way to Vice President.
The Presidency was laid upon him after the unfortunate event of Lincoln's assassination, but he handled that pretty well too.
More great information on the National Park Service, Andrew Johnson.

Now we get to a part of the museum I did not expect.
A building within a building !
Yes, Andrew Johnson started out as a humble taylor.
He purchased a business in Greeneville and somehow had the building moved to its present
location, which is across the street from his Early House that you saw earlier.
The house is behind the end brick wall and across the street.
I lifted this iron and I could not believe how heavy it was.
He was apparently a pretty good taylor, and made do with this humble building.
After he got the political bug going he stopped doing taylor work and focused on government.
There were two plaques on the front wall.
This one describes even more things that Andrew Johnson was known for starting.
Poor Senator Edmund G. Ross.
His deciding vote to acquit President Andrew Johnson cost him his political career.
Here is this old taylor shop before it was restored and preserved.
This is while they were building the protective building over the taylor shop.
I think it is great that they preserved the humble beginnings of a person who reached the highest "job" in the United States of America.
They even left the foundation stones in place.
One side of the taylor shop is within inches of the front wall.
It was very interesting to see this in person.
These are the windows you saw in the picture of construction of the outer building above.
And across the street is a statue of Andrew Johnson.
A google search of Andrew Johnson taylor shop shows some nice old pictures of this building over the years.
My map will show the building this is in.
It is located in the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site which also contains the museum, and is across the street from his Early Home.

That Daryl Dixon seems like he can live through anything, right? The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus recently spoke about his favorite scene in Season 5, and it involved an actual on-set injury that never made it to air.
Were still around five or six months away from The Walking Dead delivering more gut-covered mayhem with Season 6, which means its time for rampant speculation concerning what new characters viewers can hope to meet.
The Walking Dead cast and crew got together for a new video to talk Season 6, and it supports some suspicions about what might happen to Morgan now that hes back with the group. And it doesnt sound good.
In this day and age of television, character deaths are a strong form of currency. As such, weve put on our most morbid thinking caps and have come up with 10 characters who absolutely need to meet their makers in the very near future.
Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson isn't necessarily known for being upbeat, chipper or bubbly. That's why it didn't come as a surprise when The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus, who dropped by the set last night, mistook him for a zombie.
The Walking Dead wrapped up its fifth season this week, leaving us to celebrate its excellently intense season-conclusion as TWD withdrawal sets in. But before that happens, we thought we'd take a look back at some of the excellent behind-the-scenes glimpses AMC has made available for Season 5.
No setting on The Walking Dead lasts for very long, however, some are more memorably terrible than others. Following up on the Season 5 finale of The Walking Dead, we decided to list off some of the worst locations and settings we've seen so far.
Well have to wait and see how far into the comics Season 6 takes Rick & Co. before well know if and when we'll see any tigers popping up in this post-apocalyptic landscape. But one things for sure, itll be gr-r-r-eat!
Spoiler warning for those who havent seen The Walking Deads Season 5 finale Conquer. And if you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out on one of the series' highest-rated episodes.
Apparently, adding extra minutes to a TV show is an instant recipe for success. Last night, The Walking Dead aired a special 90-minute finale. We knew it would be a big episode, but we didnt know it would break ratings records left and right.
While last night's finale for The Walking Dead provided compelling drama in which our survivors may have finally resolved their individual dilemmas when it came to adjusting within the safe walls of Alexandria, it teases larger battles ahead for Season 6. Reinforcing this idea, showrunner, Scott M. Gimple gives some intriguing hints as to where the show is heading when it resumes this fall.
It should go without saying that there are some mighty big spoilers ahead for Conquer. Particularly, spoilers related to the Ws on the walker foreheads that we've been seeing for the second half of Season 5.
Spoilers if you haven't seen tonight's season finale of The Walking Dead! For those who have seen it, we need to talk about that ending!
It was a good thing Robert Kirkman and AMC finally announced the official title for the upcoming companion series for The Walking Dead. Otherwise, people might have seen this bare bones teaser and had no idea what they were dealing with.
Its no easy feat picking just ten moments, as part of the fun in watching this show is seeing just how far the effects team takes things. But its not all about how much blood is shed, as sometimes an act in and of itself can be more heinous than the viscera.

Tweaked a number of elements based on some earlier feedback.
Two new fonts with reduced tracking all round.
Slightly wider and shallower decking/surface structure whilst making the urn/pot smaller as well.
Also reduced overall perspective of the mark just a fraction.
I feel this helps define the urn a little better than before without having to resort to adding further elements,

My third trip to the Transplant Games of America, this year in Houston, Texas, was even more rewarding than the previous two in 2010 and 2012.
In addition to watching my nephew Zach Brooks compete in swimming, bicycling and track with two transplanted kidneys, I got to see my brother, Stephen Brooks, who is recovering from cancer surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Steve was Zach's first donor 15 years ago and his mother Nancy his second donor seven years ago.
A big part of this celebration of life is exchanging team pins. My nephew's team is SoCal, Southern California, so that is the pin I exchanged with a 4-year-old girl who gave me a pewter pin of a heart, her transplant. Young liver transplant bicyclists exchanged pins from their teams with me.
My husband, George, was our main exchanger; granddaughter Alison Smith helped, and we were able to get every pin except from Hawaii and Puerto Rico; yes, they came from that far for this celebration, in addition to Alaska.
On a sad note, one of the twin women with double-lung transplants passed away last year, but from cancer, not lung problems; the surviving twin plays the bagpipes.
This year there were more young people, from age 3 up, with liver and heart transplants than before. It made me even more acutely aware that all of us should be willing to share whatever is usable upon our deaths, whether they be from accidents or natural causes. Be a donor.

After a two-month wait, I finally got my Grad 1 vest from http://www.russiancombatgear.com/
If you order from this company, you will get your merchandise, but believe their website when they quote months for delivery. They are S-L-O-W.
I e-mailed the company several times, and each time they took the time to answer me; I finally got my vest Saturday. It arrived by international airmail (Russian postmarks and everything). Airmail charges were $38.11 in addition to the vest. I had to go to our main Post Office to sign for it. As I approached the counter with my notice, a huge postmaster twice my size (I'm 6-foot-2) took my notice to the back and returned with what looked like a hastily wrapped parcel. It was wrapped in a cross-pattern with twine and had been taped in several places. That's it. It looked like the cartoon representation of the proverbial "plain brown wrapper." The postmaster probably thought it was porn.
The postmaster looked at me, then looked at the address label, then looked up at me again. "I need to see some I.D. sir," he said. Glancing at the mailing label, which was entirely in Russian, and glancing back at him, I had visions of talking to a Postal Investigator for the next 6 hours.
"Why are you ordering Russian combat vests?" I could imagine them asking.
But, the postmaster looked at my I.D., then handed me my package. Safe in the knowledge that I had done nothing illegal, I left the post office with my new Grad 1 vest.
I posted two pictures below. The vest I got looks most like the Grad 1 vest, except instead of the grenade pouches pictured, I got a butt pack. I prefer the butt pack. In fact, the entire vest came stuffed into the butt pack. The web belt that came with my vest actually looks like the web belt that is shown in the picture of the Grad 2. It did NOT come with the web belt as pictured in the photo of the Grad 1.
The first thing I did was replace that cheesy web belt with a U.S. military web belt. It fits the Grad 1's loops perfectly. I wanted to be able to use my canteens and other gear that attaches with ALICE clips, so this was a welcome coincidence. The Grad 1 is covered with loops appropriate for ALICE clips, so I surmise that the Russians designed the vest to be usable with U.S. gear in battle.
The second thing I replaced was the mid-section laces. The vest is adjustable for both height and width, and this big guy needed more width than a 19-year old Russian soldier. I replaced the laces with nylon cord from a camping supply store, cut them to length, melted the ends with a cigarette lighter to prevent ravelling, and attached a couple of spring-loaded keepers a la the Blackhawk vests.
The vest now fits me perfectly. The material for the pouches is somewhat flimsier than the nylon material found in the west. The various straps, etc., are as rugged as any western nylon straps. The rest of the material in the vest is soft material like the mag pouches, although it is padded in body-contact spots. I compare it to the material in Vietnam era M16 mag pouches, but softer, as opposed to the rigid material in a Blackhawk vest. It seems more than adequately rugged. The vest holds 8 30-round AK mags, and each mag pouch has a divider. The pouches have two snaps: an upper one for when the pouch has two mags, and a lower one for when the pouch only has one mag. I had trouble snapping a couple of the pouches shut with mags in them; I had to do plenty of stretching and pulling before two of the pouches would snap shut on two mags.
The vest has plenty of small pouches for accessories, and long pouches in between the mag pouches, probably for grenades.
With the proper adjustment (I like my vest loose so it fits over winter clothing and I like the pouches at gut level rather than chest level), the vest is one of the more comfortable ones I have tried on. It's a keeper!
I anticipate the softness of the material in the pouches will hinder fast mag changes somewhat, but since we big guys have enough trouble finding a vest that even fits I'll just live with it. I'm so happy that it accepts a U.S. web belt (unlike my Pioneer M23 which did not), that I'm willing to live with some shortcomings.
In short, I like the vest. Russian Combat Gear is slow but I did get my stuff.
I like this vest so much I may order another one.
'Nuff Said. Here are the photos:

"From customizing, to ordering to receipt of product, this was a great experience. Customer service happily helped me with an order issue and the final product was such exceptional quality that I was proud to send them to my friends and family. Will place orders again in the future."
"Everyone that I sent a card to loved them and the wording on the card is simple yet catchy. The photo quality looked just like it did on my computer during the editing process. I ordered the double matte which made the card extra thick and awesome but that option turned out to be pretty pricey when all said and done. Will order again from tiny prints."
"I loved the way my holiday cards turned out! I used my childs photo with santa. I used the edit tool to give it a vintage look. It came out stunning! So happy! Thank you!"
"The design of this card jibed well with our family's aesthetic. We received a goodly amount of compliments on our card this year. In addition to the design of the card, the quality of printing was spot on and we were more than pleased with the outcome! Also, we received the cards well before the confirmed delivery date (thanks for that). Thanks for helping us make great memories again this year!"
"I read the one previous review and have to disagree. This card was beautiful and I received many compliments on the gold color. We wore black and gold for our holiday picture and this complemented it nicely."

Glasgow v Treviso - RaboDirect Pro12 match preview
Last Updated: 03/01/13 4:06pm
Graeme Morrison will make his first start since October when Glasgow host Treviso in RaboDirect Pro12 action on Friday night.
The centre made an appearance off the bench against Heineken Cup opponents Castres in December and is now ready after recovering from a knee injury.
He is one of four changes to the XV with Alex Dunbar also returning to the centres, while Tommy Seymour is restored to the wing in place of Sean Maitland while Stuart Hogg retains his place at full-back.
Ruaridh Jackson starts at fly-half for the fourth game in a row, with Henry Pyrgos partnering him behind the scrum.
There are minimal changes in the pack, with the heavy-hitting back row of Rob Harley, Josh Strauss and last week's man of the match, Ryan Wilson, again reunited.
In the second row, Tim Swinson comes in for Tom Ryder to partner captain Al Kellock. Ryan Grant, Doug Hall and Moray Low, hugely impressive in the scrum against Edinburgh, will again pack down together for the tough Treviso test.
Meanwhile, Treviso have named Edoardo Gori at scrum-half while Andrea Pratichetti is on the left wing. In the pack Corniel Van Zyl, Michele Rizzo and Lorenzo Cittadini start, while Manoa Vosawai is back as flanker.
Glasgow: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 DTH Van der Merwe, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Henry Pyrgos, 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 Rob Harley, 6 Josh Strauss, 5 Al Kellock (c), 4 Tim Swinson, 3 Moray Low, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 Ryan Grant.
Replacements: 16 Pat MacArthur, 17 Gordon Reid, 18 German Araoz, 19 Tom Ryder, 20 James Eddie, 21 Nico Matawalu, 22 Duncan Weir, 23 Peter Murchie.
Treviso: 15 Luke McLean, 14 Ludovico Nitoglia, 13 Christian Loamanu, 12 Alberto Sgarbi, 11 Andrea Pratichetti, 10 Kristopher Burton, 9 Edoardo Gori, 8 Robert Barbieri, 7 Alessandro Zanni, 6 Manoa Vosawai, 5 Corniel Van Zyl, 4 Francesco Minto, 3 Lorenzo Cittadini, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini (capt), 1 Michele Rizzo.
Replacements: 16 Franco Sbaraglini, 17 Matteo Muccignat, 18 Alberto De Marchi, 19 Antonio Pavanello, 20 Dean Budd, 21 Simone Favaro, 22 Tobias Botes, 23 Alberto Di Bernardo.
What they said...
Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend
"It's fantastic to have Graeme and Alex back for selection and it gives us yet more options in the midfield to add to an already deep list of talent.
"Alex was in fine form until he suffered his injury and it will be great to see him getting back to that level of performance.
"Everyone knows exactly what kind of influence Graeme can have on a match and against a tough side like Treviso, it's great to have someone of his experience at inside-centre.
"The selection this week again highlights the quality available to us as coaches and the fact that even with three changes to the back-line, it's still a very strong line-up."

Accessories for iPad: Scosche, Belkin, Waterfield
03/08, 10:00pm
Many 2011 iPad accessories will also work well
Apple's latest iPad, the 2012 edition, is only slightly thicker than the previous model, meaning that many non-form-fitting accessories should be compatible. Nonetheless, accessory makers are scrambling to announce all-new and compatible cases and other products to assure buyers that they'll work with their new iPad. California-based Scosche, Belkin and Waterfield Designs all have new cases, bags and stands.

I've been scrapbooking for 8 years but have never gone away for a crop. Next weekend my friend and I are going. I have no idea what to NOT pack. Should I take my Cricut? I have this huge fear of stuff getting stolen. We're going to a crop at a hotel that's sponsored by a CM consultant.
Thanks in advance for all the advice.

A protégé of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Steve Earle quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, The Pretenders, Joan Baez and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his debut record, Guitar Town, which shot to number one on the country charts and immediately established the term "New Country." What followed was an extremely exciting and varied array of releases including the biting hard rock
of Copperhead Road (1988), the minimalist beauty of Train A Comin' (1995) the politically charged masterpiece, Jerusalem (2002) and the Grammy Award Winning albums The Revolution Starts...Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007) and Townes (2009). I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive is Steve Earle's 14th Studio Album and features the song "This City" which has garnered both Emmy and Grammy Award nominations. The new album has been met with overwhelming critical acclaim including a 3 1⁄2 out of 4 Star review in the Los Angeles Times while the New York Post stated that the album was "American roots music at its best" in their 3 1⁄2 out of 4 star review. I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive was released alongside his debut novel of the same name (published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). The novel imagines the troubled life of Doc Ebersole as he is haunted by the ghost of his former patient and friend, Hank Williams. Patti Smith stated, "Steve Earle brings to his prose the same authenticity, poetic spirit and cinematic energy he projects in his music. I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive is like a dream you can't shake, offering beauty and remorse, redemption in spades." Recognized as an actor from the overwhelmingly acclaimed series The Wire, Steve Earle is also a cast member on HBO's acclaimed series Treme, currently in its second season. Additionally he has appeared as an actor on Law and Order and the feature film Leaves of Grass, starring Edward Norton, Susan Sarandon, Richard Dreyfuss, and Keri Russell. Steve Earle lives in New York City with his wife, the critically acclaimed singer songwriter, Allison Moorer, and their one year old son, John Henry. He will be touring in support of I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive with his live band The Dukes (and Duchesses) featuring Allison Moorer throughout 2011.

There's no such thing as too smart when it comes to safety.
The Mammut Smart Alpine Belay Device doesn't boast unnecessarily about its own intelligence. It doesn't have to because its intuitive design speaks for itself and offers great utility on belay or rappel.
- An updated design uses the same non-mechanical construction of the original Smart device to pinch the rope during a fall and make for easy catching and holding
- The extended lever allows for easier catching and releasing when lowering your climber
- The auto-lock option allows a lead climber to belay one or two seconding climbers directly below the anchor
- Device accepts a wide range of rope diameters between 8.9mm and 10.5mm

Why I bought this thing -
Your life is a precious thing - and when it's cold, whipping wind, and your hands are tense - it's REALLY nice to have this thing autolocking for you on rappel.
Northwest couloir of the Pfeifferhorn in optimal conditions.
Great for belay
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Got this because my girlfriend was scared she'd drop me... I started using it instead of my black diamond ATC and I love it.
Not good for rappelling. Great at belay
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The simple design of this item is great. It's simple and works very well. I purchased the two-sided model because I intended to rappel. However I wish I would have bought the single sided model for weight savings. It is great for belaying. But when you rappel, the rope ends get twisted and complicate the process. Instead of having your brake hand off to the right, you end up feeding rope from the bottom inward. You also have to lift the lever to get the rope going. When you're focusing on your foot placement, there is too much going on and it's hard to be smooth.
Great Jack of All Trades
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Used to carry my grigri and an ATC guide up everything multipitch. Loved the extra security of a grigri, but needed to rap or belay two seconds. Now I can finally do it all with one device. This guy does it all, but does seem to have a few caveats. Firstly, it _REALLY_ needs a carabiner that prevents cross loading (any of the belay biners with the added little springgate inside should work). Seriously, I'm surprised it isnt in bold flashing font in the instructions. On a typical HMS or pear or whatever biner, if it flips to the narrow side of the biner, the autolocking function will cease to function. Works like a normal ATC at this point, but if you are expecting it to lock and it doesn't...whoops. I've been using the Edelrid HMS Strike Slider FG with fantastic results. Also lowering and rapping can be somewhat jerky. This seems to be very weight dependent! I'm 165lbs and its about perfect for me; I can rap in 'autolock' mode without it locking up inadvertently all the time. Takes a bit of getting used to, but its pretty damn slick when you do; no more need to deal with those annoying autoblocks or prussik backups. I feel like heavier folks, or if you are rapping with an additional load, it would engage the autolock frequently and make rapping a royal pain. I've also heard that rapping with two significantly different diameter ropes is a chore not worth repeating. No personal experience in that, but thought it was worth mentioning.
Also its a bit funky looking, but whatever. Check out the edelrid Mega Jul for a similar device without the funky look. Iv'e heard reports with durability being an issue, but I think they newest version of them sorted that out.
Couldn't be happier
This belay device is excellent! It really is something that every climber needs!

Belays like a dream
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After having used this for well over a year now, I can say that I like it more than just about any other belay device I have used. It does take a bit of getting used to, but that's pretty much true of everything. Extremely versatile and just makes for smooth handling. Highly recommended.
Derek Newman
You'll never need another belay device.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Mammut Smart Alpine is on the brink of perfection for any style of climbing. You can do everything with this autolocker, from belaying like a Gri Gri to top rope belaying like an ATC Guide. You can even jug haul up ropes and rappel better than most devices. Granted, it takes a little bit to get used to, and prevent cross-loading. But, would you rather take your Gri Gri and a Guide on multipitches? Or would you rather take one superlight device for all your climbing needs?
Simply Awesome
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
easy to use, can rappel with it, and Auto Locking. essential item to have. little tough to use ice climbing with a 10.2 rope.
Thomas Gappmayer
The best kept secret
I'm not sure why this device isn't wildly popular--it's hands down the best belay device on the market, no questions asked. The smart alpine does everything--assisted braking like a gri gri, full two-rope rappels, and easy lowering. Sure, it's a tiny bit heavier than a BD Guide XP, but with the peace of mind that comes from auto-lock catching when you can't see your partner on a long day and a scary lead, this thing is worth it's weight in gold.
Alex Quitiquit
The Best thing since slice bread!!!!!!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For those of us who don't wish to carry around a heavy, lunky gri gri (mind you, the gri has a place and purpose and I have used them for it) The Mammut Smart Alpine is my swiss army knife of belayness.
With it's autolocking belay feature, especially in the alpine where rockfall is ever prominent, I feel more secure in my belay.
The autolocking feature is also active on Rappel - this is the device's best feature. While rappelling you are able to go hands free (albeit the manufacturer does not say the device can do this, but it has never failed for me) - I don't do it often, as you never should, but when it is necessary to untangle a rope - it's a nice thing to know you are still secure.
I have also used this device alone to jug up a rope to take photos, and to clean route. I have also used it to jug back up over a roof after missing a rap station.
The device also allows to belay from above up to two climbers. This feature, in my own opinion, is often smoother in it's action than the ATC guide! - although the ATC guide is a great belay device in it's own right.
PROS: It's autolocking feature. It's amazing. It isn't a gri gri, but it not only locks while belaying, but rappelling as well. Lightweight, in comparison to other autolocking devices, and it's versatility are amazing- you can't perform a traditional rappel with a GRI GRi and have the autolock feature- you can with the MSA!
CONS: a bit tricky to figure out at first and requires an HMS biner. But these cons are extremely outweighed by the benefits of the device.

Excellent all-around device
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'll admit that this device takes a little getting used to. But once that happens, I would never trade the ability to rappel and go hands-free (no back-up needed), feed out slack to a leader with the bonus of being auto-locking (just in case...), and using the device in plaquette/guide mode on iced up ropes- it is smooth and seems to break ice off of ropes more easily that other devices. Definitely recommended. In the attached photo I'm using the Mammut Belay Sling as well, which makes multi-pitch rappelling even smoother and more efficient.
Good Substitute for a Gri Gri
When I first bought this device I was excited to have a "gri gri" type auto locking device and it worked great with my 10.2 mm rope. However, at the gyms I go to they use larger ropes which jam ALOT and makes it very hard to let down the climber. Overall it is a great device and works well with small ropes and autolocks nicely but it is not a good partner with larger ropes.
Ryan Hamilton
Agreat Auto-locking belay device
The smart alpine works great. Gives you the ability to belay and rappel with double ropes, plus you get the safety of auto-lock for both. I did find that it locks up a tad too easily when giving slack to the leader, but more time and practice may eliminate that problem. It is super light and smaller than the picture seems to indicate.
Jeffrey Wilson
Smart Belay from Mammut
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have an original Mammut smart belay device and love it, the only thing it was missing was the ability to set it up for dual rope configuration, I like to set up a top rope and climb around the same route for a while and it make it easy for me to rappel down the same top rope i set up, as well as some other configurations. I also enjoy that i can set this device up with a newer climber for rappelling or belaying and feel a little safer because of its catching feature newer climbers feel a little more confident So when i found this I was stoked.
Casey Glaubman
great idea...
i really like the idea and execution of this device. the only issue is the fact that it doesn't fit with many carabiners. i ended up having to buy an extra HMS carabiner as i didn't have one around. once you get the right setup though this thing starts to become smoother and smoother with a bit of practice. i certainly haven't used this yet for all its applications but i'm impressed so far.
Raymond Barmore III
Has anyone used this device to belay a...
Has anyone used this device to belay a climber in guide mode? If so, please share your experience...
Thomas Ogasawara
It's alright, but get the atc guide.
Harder to pull rope through than similar offerings from petzl or BD...I would stick to one of those over this.
Be sure to read the instructions (yes, crazy idea) - when belaying in guide mode, do not clip the ropes through the slot as you do normal belaying. The biner that clips the ropes should be outside the device. Hard to explain, so just read the instructions.
Ryan N
When rigged properly this device pulls rope smoother than both the reverso or ATC guide from my experience. I have spent a lot of time burning energy pulling rope on top of a climb belaying seconds up and this device from mammut is by far my favorite. It stands a compromise of all the strengths of a gri gri and reverso put into a simple and efficient medium. Watch here at 1 min 34 sec. in this (rather corny) advertisement to see proper set up for belaying from above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U382OtrXTH0
This device is WAY easier to take up slack and is better than the ATC Guide in guide mode with the same size rope... If you set it up correctly that is. You NEED to put the biner that captures the rope outside the metal frame of the belay device.
See these instructions from mammut for details on how to set it up on page 11.
The people downplaying its effectiveness in 'guide' mode aren't using it correctly. You need a thick (think barstock not I-Beam) 'biner and it'll feed like butter. Also, it's a lot easier to release than the ATC Guide.
Don't listen to the first two responses regarding auto block/guide mode. I've used BD ATC guide, Petzl Reverso 3 and Grigri for belaying from above on multi pitch. The alpine smart is way easier than ATC guide and reverso to pull and even a little easier to pull than the Grigri. It is also way easier to lower than the Guide and Reverso. The Grigri's only advantage is lowering, but it is way heavier, more expensive and still requires another devise to rap. I never use my Grigri anymore. Wish I saved the money. I'm now going to get a Alpine smart for half ropes.
Nathan B Henson
Great Product / All Around Use
This is the perfect product for people who want all around protection. When climbing with people who are new to climbing I let them use this because it always catches. This really helps build confidence and trust in their gear as well.
I will recommend this product 100%
Not the Favorite
I love Mammut Products. This belay device works really well for belaying, but the only reason i do not give it full stars is the fact that rappelling with this is a lot of work. The autoblock works! Almost too efficiently when rappelling, it takes a fair bit of strength to keep a smooth rappel going. If you only want to use this for belaying, go for it. That is only what I would recommend it for.
I agree that releasing it for rapping requires too much effort and I use it in non-locking mode mostly when rapping. An autoblock can be smoother and provide back up.
Reid Pitman
I've had the same problem on rappels. Its usually the shape of the biner that will make the auto lock so difficult to rappel with. The BD rocklock and gridlock work very nicely with it. But none of my mammut belay biners do, the shape causes too much friction.
Kid Epic Wyoming
Not a bad alpine investment.
Rapping, guide mode belaying, this little baby slays it. I wasnt very impressed with how it work with a single rope. The rope would occasionally get caught up under the friction panels. Other than that, its pretty sick working with a double rope belay, rap, and guide mode.

Professional Staff at all times! Your facility provides very secure and safe storage areas. The entire facility is safe and secure which puts you at ease when you have to enter your storage units during evening hours! Many thanks!John from Fayetteville, GA

I must say I'm really impressed. Great combination of high-tech tools (website, etc) and friendly/professional staff in the call center and on-site. Amazed me. I'm on a country-wide motorcycle ride and need to store my bike in various cities the next 18 months. I will search out Uncle Bob options first every where I go.Robert from Woodinville, WA

Ms.Bianca was very helpful and very concerned with my needs for storing my things at your facility. She is an asset to the company a wonderful personality and a caring heart. I came in and was very upset about my situation. Bianca lifted my spirits and assured me that my things would be safe and secure. Bianca is a wonderful person and you should be proud to have her as an employee.Chandra from Decatur, GA

I have used other storage units owned and operated by others, and the service I received does not compare to the quality of service I received from the associates at Uncle Bob's. Because of such, I have suggested the usage of this facility to others. keep up the good work -- clean and tidy, and excellent customer service.Cynthia from Atlanta, GA

The store manager John greeted me. He is super friendly, helpful, informative and patient. He explained everything to me in details and responded to my questions with constructive suggestions. The storage unit is clean and tidy. No odour at all. The space looks bright and smells fresh. I would definitely choose Uncle Bob's service for next time.Shan from Chicago, IL

This place is completely better than the other storage company I used. Everything was done in decency and in order with a continued smile. They explain everything to you to make sure you understand. If at any time I had a question they answered it to the best of there ability.Siobhan from Jonesboro, GA

Everyone likes to capture a perfect moment. These are those perfect moments caught right before everything goes wrong. We like to think of them as classier versions of 'America's Funniest Home Video,' mostly because of the lack of sound effects. Feel free to add your own. Thanks, cameras for all the comedy!
