Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement Using Supportive Supervision in a Large-Scale STI Intervention with Sex Workers, Men Who Have Sex with Men/Transgenders and Injecting-Drug Users in India
This evaluation monitored the performance of Avahan, the India AIDS Initiative, using a supportive supervision tool to analyze outcomes from three perspectives: clinical, community, and management. The tool assessed the accessibility, acceptability, and contact coverage of sexually transmitted infection clinical services. It looked at barriers to access and monitored the quality of individual service components, including correct treatment, infection control, confidentiality, and counseling. Monitoring demonstrated that Avahan improved and sustained quality in terms of coverage, quality, technical support, community involvement, and networks of referrals. The monitoring tool provides timely and useful feedback but can be time-consuming and resource-intensive to implement.
Changes in Risk Behaviours and Prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections Following HIV Preventive Interventions Among Female Sex Workers in Five Districts in Karnataka State, South India
This study used biological and behavioral surveys to assess the impact of HIV prevention programs targeted at female sex workers, such as peer outreach and behavior change communication and provision of sexual health clinic services including syndromic and presumptive management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). By follow-up, almost all participants had been visited by a peer educator, at least three-quarters had visited a drop-in center or sexual health clinic, and two-thirds had received presumptive treatment for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Rates of condom use with clients improved but were static with regular partners. The prevalence of HIV reduced significantly across the board, but for curable STIs, only street-based female sex workers had a reduced prevalence at follow-up. Rates of curable STIs did not decrease for brothel- and home-based female sex workers.
Prioritising Prevention Strategies for Patients in Antiretroviral Treatment Programmes in Resource-Limited Settings
Twenty-seven antiretroviral therapy programs in Africa, Asia, and South America were surveyed to determine the extent of preventive services they offered. The survey showed that prevention efforts in most programs focused on health education to change behavior, supply of male condoms, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Other interventions (e.g., protocols for partner notification and interventions for high-risk groups such as serodiscordant couples and adolescents) were less common. Few sites offered regular sexually transmitted infection screening. Survey respondents cited stigma, lack of financial resources, and high patient load as the main obstacles to implementing preventive services within antiretroviral therapy programs.
Control of Sexually Transmitted Infections and Prevention of HIV Transmission: Mending a Fractured Paradigm
This paper argues that the "fractured paradigm" of HIV prevention separate from programs to tackle sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is counterproductive for both, given that weak control of STIs may undermine HIV prevention efforts. The paper reviews the components, benefits, and feasibility of STI control and offers an alternative, unified paradigm to tackle HIV together with other STIs. A useful table lays out the epidemiological parameters for integrating HIV prevention and STI control, detailing which target groups and diseases should get priority in which settings and when STI interventions are most effective in preventing HIV transmission.
Linking Sexual and Reproductive Health and HIV/AIDS, Gateways to Integration: A Case Study From Haiti
In Haiti, voluntary HIV counseling and testing became a gateway to providing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services including condom use promotion, family planning, maternal child health services, and services specifically for young people and survivors of sexual violence. Integration made sense because most HIV infections in Haiti are transmitted sexually, mother-to-child transmission is common, and people living with HIV face stigma and discrimination in accessing health services. Services evolved as needs were identified. Although such integration requires great efforts to overcome the stigma associated with HIV, providing access to a range of health services greatly improves uptake of HIV counseling and testing.
Monthly Antibiotic Chemoprophylaxis and Incidence of Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV-1 infection in Kenyan Sex Workers
The randomized double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial enrolled Kenyan female sex workers to test whether the use of antibiotic prophylaxis to treat common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) would also reduce the rate of HIV acquisition. Four hundred and sixty-six seronegative sex workers were enrolled in the study. All women were provided with risk-reduction counseling, condoms, treatment of symptomatic STIs, and biannual screening and treatment for asymptomatic STIs. Oral azithromycin was given to half of the participants and the other half was given a placebo. There was no statistically significant difference between the treatment and placebo groups on HIV-1 incidence. Out of 35 seroconversion cases, 19 were in the treatment group and 16 were in the placebo group. There was a strong association between prior STI and incident HIV-1 infection, and a significant positive effect of azithromycin on the reduction of incidence and prevalence of bacterial STIs. A reduction in risky sexual behaviors in both groups was found. Condom use with all clients increased from less to 20 percent to more than 50 percent within one month. The number of clients per week decreased from more than 16 to less than 6 within six months. There was a correlation between HIV-1 infection and risky sexual behaviors within the year of seroconversion. The authors provide plausible reasons for the lack of effectiveness in reducing HIV-1 acquisition with azithromycin treatment in this population.
Changing Patterns in Sexually Transmitted Disease Syndromes in Kenya After the Introduction of a Syndromic Management Program
This study of Kenya's syndromic management program for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) used HIV sentinel surveillance data in patients with STIs to identify changes in the proportion of patients with three syndromes associated with increased HIV acquisition: genital ulcer disease, urethral discharge, and vaginal discharge. Incidence declined after the introduction of the program in 1995 and then increased again when free STI medication was no longer offered in 2001. As this was an ecological study, it was vulnerable to possible selection bias, and the authors recommend further studies such as randomized clinical trials to better understand the impact of complex interventions like STI syndromic management programs.
How Effective is Syndromic Management of STDs? A Review of Current Studies
This review of programs implementing syndromic management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) found that the processes for diagnosis and treatment of urethral discharge and genital ulcer disease in men were highly sensitive or had good cure rates, but those for women were less sensitive, particularly for those without symptoms. Algorithms for vaginal discharge do not effectively detect gonorrhea or chlamydia in women. Once the qualitative aspects of STI syndromic management are taken into account, the algorithms are likely to be even less sensitive than the literature suggests, and the authors urgently call for the development of affordable and effective rapid STI testing for use in resource-poor settings.

The wrong size was ordered by me so i called at 8am to return it. I was given a return # and 3 days later the new jacket arrived! The customer service of your company is fantastic and the A-2 you produce is unbelievable, the weight of the jacket is just right, craftsmanship is perfect, color is perfect, price is $200 less than Eastman, Lost Worlds. Mr. Dover you have a customer for life! BTW whoever crafted my jacket should receive a pay raise. Thank you. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Great and fast service Review by Guus
I would like to thank U.S. Authentic for the great and fast service and for the quality of their products. Just recently I ordered a seal brown A2 and got it the next day. It's a fantastic jacket. Keep up the great work. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Excellent Review by Jonathan Glazer
Just got the A-2 yesterday. Excellent as usual!! I think the A-2 fits me a little better in the 42 than the 40. I love the jacket already and am wearing it today. My other two G-1s that you made me got away to my two sons so I will probably be ordering another G-1 plain-no insignias in the next couple of weeks. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Quality service Review by Bob Jacobs
If you are interested in an authentic and quality A-2 Flight Jacket, US Authentic is the place to purchase it. I received a seal brown horsehide A-2 from US Authentic as a Christmas gift. Mr. Dover stands behind his products with quality service. Compare other A-2 jackets on the A-2 Jacket Website and see for yourself. C****r, A****x, and Sc**t do not have the quality you find with Us Authentic. (Posted on 7/21/2010)

Your jacket (A-2) IS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY.... I just want to make it look older!!!!!

Expertly crafted Review by Bruce Kendall
I received my A2 today and it is a beauty, indeed. It fits well, is expertly crafted, and appears to be authentic in every detail. It is hard for me to imagine a jacket more expertly crafted than this one. Obviously, I am very pleased. You may recall that I had intended to purchase an A2 from Flight Suits but opted to buy one from you after reading the testimonials on your web site. Looking at and wearing this jacket validates all of the testimonials. I would not hesitate to recommend U.S. Authentic to anyone interested in an authentic A2. Please convey my appreciation to the individuals who worked on my jacket for their excellent craftsmanship. I look forward to doing business with you in the future. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Rolex, BMW, and US Authenti Review by Steve Willey
I was relatively uninformed about the authentic aspects of A-2 jackets and after much study decided to try US Authentic. I ordered a goatskin model and when it arrived was impressed at the softness and style. I may never be an expert on the various things that make an "authentic" jacket, but I do recognize quality when I see it. Rolex, BMW, and US Authentic!! (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Flawless leather Review by Byron Lang
Thanks for a wonderful jacket. I had been in the market for a substantial, quality USA made leather jacket for several weeks. I liked the style of the flight jacket and viewed many in stores and on the internet before making a decision. The store brands always seemed to have one imperfection or another. They were not of quality construction and were often manufactured of substandard materials in countries most of us are not familiar with. I found flaws with every jacket I examined.
I then came across U.S. AUTHENTIC' S website while looking for a reputable maker of flight jackets on the internet. I read the descriptions and the many letters of praise from satisfied customers around the country. I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a jacket site unseen, but was reassured by the full refund policy. I decided to take a chance and placed an order for a horsehide A-2 jacket. In just a few days it arrived, despite being shipped during the height of the Christmas rush season.
I was very pleasantly surprised upon receiving the jacket. Although I am not an expert on A-2 jackets, I was very impressed with the workmanship and the high quality leather used in construction. All the seams lined up perfectly and the leather was flawless. It is the best leather jacket I had seen in many years, and it seemed to exude a certain nostalgia of nobler time in America. To say that I am completely satisfied would be an understatement. Thanks again for a fine jacket. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Couldn't be more pleased Review by Kevin Hiatt
Thank you for a wonderful representation of American aviation history! I received a goatskin A-2 as a Christmas present from my wife (after I picked it out!) I couldn't be more pleased with its historical accuracy and overall quality. After a tremendous amount of research on original WWII contractor's jackets, I found U.S. Authentic to be exactly what I was looking for. From my research, I like the details of the Rough Wear original jackets and noticed the U.S. Authentic jackets bear these same details and overall look. The color is great. From the red/brown russet color of the lining to the perfect shade of deep, rich chocolate brown of the leather, it looks like it came from the Rough Wear factory in the mid 1940s. I was worried about the color being too dark or almost black like other jackets. For others with the same concerns, have no fear. From what I learned, the WWII seal brown was a slightly lighter shade of dark brown than modern jackets of the same color name because of the dying process used. This company really got it right! The medium brown goat skin looks (to me) exactly like the original 'seal brown' jackets. Definitely not the re-dyed almost black color. Further, the texture of the leather looks like the original goatskin jackets.
I'd also like to commend you on your excellent customer service. You took the time to answer all my knit-picking questions about color, fit/cut, sizing and original jacket contractors. It definitely finalized my decision to buy a U.S. Authentic jacket. In fact, my brother was so impressed with my A-2, he's ordering a G-1 from your company!
Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping the legacy alive for all us aviation junkies. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Superb customer service Review by Ryan Doerr
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to send in my comments. As soon as I ordered my A-2 jacket the weather turned warm for several weeks. Now that we have had some cooler days and I have had a chance to wear my jacket, I can give a much more accurate evaluation. My praise as to the jacket's authenticity won't mean much, as I am no expert in this area, however I will say that the jacket I received incorporates every design feature I have been told indicates an authentic reproduction. I can give a much better evaluation to customer service and quality. My job is in quality assurance for a major electric utility. In all of my correspondence with U.S. Authentic, getting me what I wanted was the company's only concern. I ordered an A-2 jacket and a leather squadron patch. Mr. Dover suggested that before they attached the patch to the jacket, I should probably try the jacket on to make sure the fit was right. If the jacket did not fit and it had a custom patch attached, it could not be returned. I am glad he made the suggestion. The jacket I received fit exactly the way I wanted. It was made of beautifully grained horsehide. The patch was of such high quality, I decided not to have it attached to the jacket and to incorporate it into the display of the B-17 model I am building. Everyone involved worked to make sure I got the products I wanted and I do not have a single complaint. I would recommend U.S. Authentic to anyone who is interested in the quality products and services they offer. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Customer Reviews
- Best of the Best Review by Randy Jones
- I've been a U.S. Authentic customer since their beginning, around 1998. It started because my uncle was a WWII AAF and later USAF B-24 and C-130 navigator. My sons are USAF & Army flyers. I've collected flight jackets from all makers, since I was 12. Some were well made; some cheap, expensive, or fairly priced, I didn't care. They were leather, cotton, nylon or Nomex. Again, I didn't care. I've love(ed) them all. My mother tossed 'em when I moved out; my wife said they cluttered the house & my sons stole them to give to their girlfriends. I love U.S. Authentic the most. Why? It is the best - has the most variation of types and kinds (A-2; B-3: etc), & will modify any & all for you: they make special orders, do anything you ask...not for the money but for your satisfaction. Their attention to detail & 'period' accuracy is truly "Authentic." They are the last of a dying breed, where the customer really does come first, no questions asked. I will be buried (but not too soon I hope) in a U.S. Authentic A-2!. Save yourself time, $$$ & headaches. Don't shop around, just shop at U.S. Authentic. You will always be completely satisfied.

- A2 Seal Brown Horsehide Review by Steve
Dear Shaul,
Thank you for the excellent service and quality jacket! The size you recommended was a perfect fit. I really like the horsehide leather which is new to me because Ive been wearing a military issue goatskin A2 for many years. Also after I placed the order online I think you set the record for a shipping label creation from UPS. Literally it was about 15 minutes after I ordered when I got the confirmation of shipping. Incredible!
Thanks Again,
Steve (Posted on 4/28/2015)
- PHENOMENAL PRODUCT AND SERVICE! Review by FRANCO
Purchased an A-2 in horsehide seal brown from this company after much time spent researching the web for a quality A-2 Leather Flight Jacket. I have one which has lasted me over 20 years but got a wee bit tight so I figured it was time for a new one. I couldn't believe what some manufacturers were asking for A-2's. The average price was over $1000!!!! Then I found FlightJacket.com and US Authentic MFG Company. Prices seemed reasonable and they had exactly what I was looking for so I rolled the dice and took a chance on their jacket being enough of a quality product to suit me.
First off I couldn't believe the speed with which they responded and shipped my A-2. And I knew I hit the jackpot when I opened the box and saw the most beautiful A-2 Jacket I have ever seen! It is perfect in ever detail. The leather is a heavier more robust horsehide than my old one and weighs more also. The quality of the stitching and seams is absolutely first rate. The lining is very authentic looking and comfortable cotton.
I ordered a 46R up from my old 44R. The fit was perfect except for the sleeves which were a bit too long so I sent it back to have the sleeves shortened by 2 inches. From the time I shipped the A-2 to the company till I got it back was less than a week! Plus I had them add a name tag and a custom lining. Unbelievable service and quality of workmanship. And all this at half the price I would of paid with other manufacturers. I'll stack this A-2 up against any other A-2 on the market.
I also sent my old A-2 Jacket to US Authentic to have some patches sewn on and again incredibly fast and reliable service. I'll save this one for when my grandson is old enough to wear it.
I can't sing the praises of US Authentic MFG Company and Shaul for their prompt courteous and professional service loud enough. This A-2 will last me the rest of my life. And I intend to purchase more items from this company in the future.
Outstanding product and well done! (Posted on 1/20/2015)

text: China Glaze Angel Wings Nail Lacquer ($7.50 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "delicate gold dust glitter." It consists of fine gold glitter with what looks to be some holographic glitter, too–there are little prisms of color throughout that dance and catch the light. All of the glitters are suspended in a clear base. Ozotic #904 has a different texture and isn't holographic–it just had a (somewhat) familiar look at a glance. China Glaze I'm Not Lion has a similar texture and composition–it's just a lighter, paler gold. Milani 3D is similar, as it has holographic glitter along with gold shimmer, but it's more opaque and the gold comes from the shimmer/base color.

If there is one person who might have a right to be disappointed that new UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman will rematch Anderson Silva in December's UFC 168 main event, it's Ronda Rousey.
Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), the women's bantamweight champion, was expected to headline the Dec. 28 pay-per-view event at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena against fellow ex-Strikeforce champion Miesha Tate (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in a rematch of their March 2012 contest, which Rousey ended in the first round with her vaunted armbar submission.
Now, the women's contest will take second billing, as Weidman (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) scored a shocking second-round knockout of Silva (33-5 MMA, 16-1 UFC) on July 6 that instantly earned their second fight must-see status.
Rousey insists that's fine with her.
Rousey knows all about handling the bulk of promotional responsibilities. Ahead of her UFC debut in February, Rousey was featured so prominently that UFC President Dana White insisted it was the most attention any single fighter male or female had received for a bout while under his watch."I'm super stoked about being on the same card as Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman," Rousey told USA TODAY Sports and MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "It'll alleviate some of the promotional stress and pressure because there'll be more of us working to promote this big card."
But it was, and Rousey became an instant sensation with her first-round submission win against Liz Carmouche."No fighter has ever fought in the UFC that has had more attention than she has," White said in advance of that UFC 157 appearance. "It's a fact. ... I didn't think that HBO and Time magazine and all these other outlets that never cover us would. And if they did, I didn't think it was going to be positive."
More recently, the Olympic judo medalist wrapped up filming for "The Ultimate Fighter 18," the latest installment of the UFC's long-running reality competition series. Tate is her opposing coach on the show, which debuts on FOX Sports 1 on Sept. 4.
The natural tension between the two rivals was expected to be the promotional base for their UFC 168 headliner, but is now the co-feature.
Rousey, who grasps the business side of MMA almost as well as she does the combat aspects, said she's thrilled to be a part of a rare championship doubleheader.
After all, the headliner features what could be the most-anticipated rematch in UFC history with new champion Weidman looking to prove his recent victory against Silva was no fluke.
"Their fight may very well be the fight of the year, maybe even in the history of the company, and I think it's an honor to be a part of that," Rousey said.

We already ask a lot of our teachers. It would be too much to ask them to also serve as armed security guards.
The role of teachers has already moved well beyond simply educating our children. Teachers have taken on roles traditionally held by parents, social workers and law enforcement. We expect teachers to look for signs of abuse in the home, to give our children character education and sex education.
All these duties get pushed onto teachers because no one else is doing them, and it means less time and attention goes to actually educating children.
Asking teachers to undergo marksmanship training and serve as armed security guards for our schools would go too far. But thats the aim of a bill pre-filed in the General Assembly. It would allow teachers who have a concealed weapons permit and can pass a marksmanship test to carry their weapons in the school in which they work.
The bill would also apply to custodians, clerks and other workers at schools.
The bill is aimed at preventing an incident like the Dec. 14 tragedy at an elementary school in Connecticut. Twenty children and six adults were killed at that school by a gunman who then killed himself.
It is true that the law preventing anyone at the school from possessing a weapon prevented anyone from stopping the attacker. It is likely that if someone at the school had been armed, the lives of more children and adults would have been saved.
But arming teachers and cafeteria workers is not the only solution.
We should put an armed school resource officer in each school. Many schools, mostly middle and high schools, already have such full-time officers. They are law enforcement officers who work in the schools. They assist the school and law enforcement in many ways, but one clear benefit is that they provide additional security. An armed resource officer at the school in Connecticut would probably have limited the bloodshed.
If we want to protect our schoolchildren, then we should be willing to fund at least one full-time school resource officer for each school. We shouldnt just push another responsibility onto our teachers.

NASA scientists have broken the record for the smallest planet beyond our solar system! The newly-found planet, Kepler 37b, is rocky and only slightly larger than our moon at a mere 3865 kilometers in diameter. It is hellishly hot—it's so close to its host star that it has a 13-day orbit. This planet may be tiny, but it's making a big splash in the realms of science!
Kepler 37b's host star, Kepler 37, is one of about 150,000 stars being watched by the space-based Kepler Observatory every minute of every day. The mission was launched in 2009 to look for Earth-sized planets positioned in "habitable zones" where liquid water, believed to be necessary for life, can exist on their surfaces. In the beginning, the Kepler team could only find large planets similar in size to Jupiter and Neptune. However, the recent success in finding small planets like Kepler 37b is indicative of amazing technological achievements.

History of Stanford Law School
Stanford began offering a curriculum in legal studies in 1893, when the university engaged its first two law professors. One was Benjamin Harrison, former President of the United States, who delivered a landmark series of lectures on the Constitution. The other was Nathan Abbott, who served as head of the nascent law program. Abbott assembled a small faculty to which he imparted a standard of rigor and excellence that endures to this day.
For its first decade, the law department was composed of mostly undergraduate law majors. Student life was dominated by a proliferation of law clubs, which combined moot court training with social camaraderie. Notably, the law department enrolled many students who might not have been welcome at more traditional law schools at the time, including women and Hispanic, Chinese and Japanese students.
In 1900, the department moved from its original location, Encina Hall, to the northeast side of the Inner Quadrangle. The new quarters contained two large recitation rooms, three faculty offices, and a library. During this time, the law department began to focus more on professional training than on undergraduate education. A comprehensive three-year program was implemented that would form the heart of the curriculum for decades. Also in 1900, the department became one of 27 charter members of the Association of American Law Schools. In May 1901, it awarded its first professional degree, an LL.B., to student James Burcham.
In an effort to acknowledge the emerging professional nature of the department, Stanford's Board of Trustees passed a resolution in 1908 to substitute the term 'law school' for 'law department,' though technically the law program remained a department within the university. Eight years later in 1916, Frederic Campbell Woodward became the first head of the law school to be referred to as 'dean.'
The law school was at the forefront of efforts to institute the California Bar exam, which was added to the requirements to practice law in California in 1919. The law school was accredited by the American Bar Association in 1923, the year the ABA began certifying law schools.
Stanford's law program was officially transformed into a modern professional school in 1924 when it began requiring a bachelor's degree for admission. That same year, Stanford's Board of Trustees adopted a resolution making the law school a purely graduate school. In 1932, the school added Master of Laws (LLM) and Doctor of the Science of Laws (SJD) degree options.
World War II seriously disrupted the work of the law school; by the end of 1943, enrollment had dropped to only 30 students. The law school nonetheless adhered to its high academic standards, recognizing as early as 1940 that academic content would need to grow to reflect national developments. As it became clear that government would play a greater role in the regulation of private affairs, administrative law, taxation, trade regulation, labor law, and related subjects became part of the curriculum.
The late 1940s and 1950s brought a tidal wave of developments to the law school. There was a relocation to the Outer Quadrangle in 1950; the new quarters included a five-story structure with two large lecture halls, a three-story library, and numerous rooms and offices. Also, a law school dormitory, Crothers Hall, opened in 1948. The first edition of the Stanford Law Review (headed by future Secretary of State Warren Christopher '49) was published in 1948. Other milestones included the introduction of a moot court program, the graduation of two future justices of the Supreme Court of the United States (William Rehnquist and Sandra Day O'Connor, both class of 1952), and a commitment to maintain the school's enrollment at about 350 students based on the conviction that Stanford should offer legal training to a relatively small, carefully selected student body.
Reflecting the political and social upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s, the law school became more diverse and its student activities more varied. In 1965, the law school admitted its first black student, Sallyanne Payton '68.
In 1968 then dean Bayless Manning created a new staff position focused on diversity, and he appointed Thelton Henderson to be the first assistant dean in charge of minority admissions.
Now a senior judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Henderson developed an innovative recruitment strategy and pioneered the law school's efforts to diversify its student body. Under his leadership, minority enrollment increased from a single student to 20 percent of the student body.
Today, Stanford Law School enrolls—and counts among its graduates—a higher percentage of minority students than any of its peer schools.
Law student organizations grew to include, the Environmental Law Society, the Stanford Chicano Law Student Association, the Women of Stanford Law, and the Stanford Public Interest Law Foundation. In 1966, the law school began its first joint degree program with the Stanford Graduate School of Business. In 1972, the first woman professor, Barbara Babcock, and the first black professor, William Gould, joined the law school faculty. Also in the 1970s, the law school built and then moved into its current home, Crown Quadrangle, which is made up of a classroom building, the library and faculty/staff offices, a student lounge, a courtyard, a patio garden and an auditorium. President Gerald Ford, speaking at the 1975 dedication ceremony, extolled Stanford's foundation as a "solid triad of law, learning, and liberty."
During the 1980s and 1990s, Stanford consolidated its position as one of the nation's top law schools. Highlights included the institution of model programs in environmental law, business, intellectual property, and international law. Recognizing the necessity of experiential learning, the law school has developed a state–of–the art clinical program offering students closely supervised, pedagogically driven opportunities to work with actual clients. The first of these clinics was the East Palo Alto Community Law Project, organized by a group of Stanford Law School students, which opened its doors in 1984. In 1987, the law school expanded its facilities once more to include the Mark Taper Law Student Center, adjoining Crothers Hall, which offers exercise equipment and a student commons.
In the 21st century, the law school has deepened its commitment to interdisciplinary education, working with graduate schools throughout the university to develop cooperative learning opportunities and joint degree programs. Students can now choose from 25 formal degrees in fields ranging from economics and public policy to bioengineering.
Many things have changed at the law school since its founding in 1893. Originally, students were drawn mainly from California; today they come from every region of the United States and many foreign countries. Admission to the school in 1893 was not competitive. For fall 2007 entry, 4,052 candidates applied for 170 seats. In 1893, only a handful of courses were offered. Today, there are nearly 200 courses in the law school alone, with hundreds available in other parts of the university.
Despite these advances, Stanford Law School's basic mission has not changed since Nathan Abbott's day: dedication to the highest standards of excellence in legal scholarship and to the training of lawyers equipped diligently, imaginatively, and honorably to serve their clients and the public; to lead our profession; and to help solve the problems of our nation and our world.

"In subsequent years, they developed techniques to vet every choice. If you were going to hire an art director, they already had all the data on [him]: every time he had gone over budget, what he would do if there was a choice between doing what the director wanted and what the studio had dictated. There were always controls, but back then, you could still outrun or elude them or trick them somehow."
The story behind The Godfather—from the studio's reluctance to accept Marlon Brando and Al Pacino in the cast to the fear that Gordon Willis's atmospheric cinematography was too dark—has been told many times, but looking back today, Coppola singles out Evans for ultimately supporting his vision.
"It's true he didn't want Pacino, it's true he didn't want the Nino Rota score, it's true he didn't want me after a certain point," he says. "But ultimately, The Godfather was a two-and-three-quarter-hours movie, and he fought for that. We were editing in San Francisco, and he had told me, 'If the first cut you show me is longer than two hours and 20 minutes, you're going to come down and continue editing in L.A.' I looked at the movie the week before, and it was two hours and 50 minutes. I thought, 'Oh, God.' I wanted to remain in San Francisco with relative privacy, so I did this Draconian cut and got it down to two hours and 20. When I showed it to Evans, he said the famous line, 'I left you to make a film, and you've brought me a trailer.'
"I'd cut out all that I could cut out, which was all of the ambiance and inessential details. Than I put all that footage back, and he fought for it. And I take my hat off to him because to fight for a movie that long was a pretty gutsy thing."
According to Coppola, Evans "had a point of view and a gut feeling about things, and they served him well." So for that matter, did Charles Bluhdorn, who was deeply invested in the studio's daily operation. "Bluhdorn was one of a kind," Coppola says. "He loved movies, and he was hands-on. He was like a Harvey Weinstein in a way."
"Charlie Bluhdorn was a kind of buccaneer," seconds Peter Bogdanovich. "He had an Old Hollywood, pioneering kind of attitude." An Austrian émigré, Bluhdorn always felt a strong connection to Europe, which lead him to push Paramount into the arena of international co-productions—some of which, like the Italian-Russian-British Waterloo (1970), went expensively belly-up, while others, like Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist (1970) and the French gangster drama Borsalino (1970), were artistic and/or commercial triumphs on par with the studio's domestic fare. "Here was an era where Borsalino would be released as a major studio picture," Bart says with amazement. "Can you imagine that today?"
It was at Bluhdorn's invitation that Bogdanovich, Coppola, and The Exorcist director William Friedkin formed an unprecedented independent-production pact within the studio, designed to create modestly budgeted films made with total autonomy by the three principals, who would also share equally in the profits. The original studio "specialty" division, the aptly named Directors Company, would produce Paper Moon as its first release, followed by The Conversation and Bogdanovich's Daisy Miller (1974), before dissolving almost as quickly as it had formed.
"We could make any picture we wanted for $3 million or under, and we didn't even have to tell the studio what we were doing," Bogdanovich says. "We could also produce any movie for other directors for $1.5 million or under, and we didn't have to tell anyone what they were, either. I was going to do a picture with Orson Welles, and we had ones with Nick Ray and King Vidor and Capra. But it all fell apart because Billy and Francis didn't want to keep going. They wanted to make more money up front—and that's what blew it."
The real writing on the New Hollywood wall, however, arrived when the blockbusters of the late 1970s—chiefly Jaws and Star Wars—upended notions of how movies could be released and marketed and how much money could be quickly made. At Paramount, the Evans/Bart era gave way (in 1976) to a new regime headed by CEO Barry Diller and his production lieutenants, including eventual Disney chiefs Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, and future über-producer Don Simpson. At MOMI, this period is represented by the musicals Grease (1978) and Saturday Night Fever (1977), plus a couple of art films, Days of Heaven (1978) and The Elephant Man (1980), that slipped through the narrowing cracks.
"The blockbusters of the '70s were not intended to be blockbusters," Bart says. "Then Eisner and Katzenberg came in and thought: 'Why not? Why can't you figure it out?' Their thesis obviously was, 'We run the studio, and we're not going to be director-oriented.'"
When Pauline Kael returned to The New Yorker in 1980 following a year-long stint as a Paramount creative consultant, it wasn't difficult to see the TV-trained Diller and company as the unnamed executives chided in her merciless essay "Why Are Movies So Bad? Or, the Numbers." But Kael reserved her greatest venom for the conglomerate heads responsible for hiring the new executives in the first place. "They don't have the background, the instincts, the information of those who have lived and sweated movies for many years. Neither do most of the current studio bosses."

The Gibson Inn is a fine example of Florida "Cracker" Architecture. This was the style of wood frame structure used widely in the 19th and early 20th century in Florida. These homes and businesses are characterized by metal roofs, raised floors, high ceilings, center hallways, and large wrap around porches. A widows walk and cupola crown the tin roof, all a reflection of the area's steamboat past. Built in 1907 of native heart pine and black cypress, the inn soon became known as a first class luxury hotel and was the only one between Pensacola and Jacksonville heated entirely by steam.
Now listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places. Many of the 30 guest rooms are uniquely appointed with authentic antique furnishings, cable TV, telephone, and wireless internet. Each guest room has its own full private bath.
Apalachicola is packed with things to do, whether you enjoy fishing, shopping, touring historic locations or just getting outside and enjoying the Forgotten Coast.
Recently selected as one of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's "Dozen Distinctive Destination", Apalachicola is a wealth of history. Walk the streets of downtown and you'll find quaint shops, art galleries, restaurants, and museums. Take a boat tour and see the beautiful nature that surrounds us. Stroll through the neighborhood and find restored homes that give you a glimpse of Apalachicola's past. On the working waterfront you may see a shrimp boat unloading or take a ride over the bridge and see the oystermen hard at work tonging up your future lunch or dinner! It is Florida as it once was.
Gibson Going On's
Whether it be a birthday, anniversary, or honeymoon, we now have add-on packages for every special occassion. Our 'Romance' package is a perfect way to surprise that special someone.

Jersey Shore
JWOWW Joins Stars in Danger: The High Dive TV Special
We all know what JWOWW looks like in a bikini, right? Well, imagine the Jersey Shore star in one of her beachwear best, only she's standing hundreds of feet above a pool, getting ready to perform an Olympic-style high dive.
That image will soon become a reality, and we'll get to watch it all unfold on TV. FOX recently announced the cast of its two-hour celebrity diving special, called Stars in Danger: The High Dive (airing January 9, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT), and JWOWW is among the lucky contestants.
Rounding out the cast of eight are Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Kim and Kyle Richards, Antonio Sabato, Jr., and former football star Terrell Owens, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
THR reports that "High Dive will see contestants take a crash-course in diving techniques overseen by renowned diving coaches and then compete in a series of Olympic-style dives including high diving, synchronized dives and more from a variety of heights."
Hey, we would watch JWOWW do pretty much anything, so we'll obviously be watching. But let's just say that we understand why FOX went with a special instead of ordering a full series. Team JWOWW!

WKU conference highlights researchers
|Author: Chuck Mason, The Daily News
Date: Monday, March 11th, 2013
|Return to Archive
This month, the university will showcase its researchers during Research Experiences and Creative Heights Week from March 18-23.
More than 300 students will present their research during the Student Research Conference from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. March 23 at Gary Ransdell Hall. This is the 43rd annual conference.
Leszczewicz, a 2005 Greenwood High School graduate, won first place for his presentation "Controlled Growth of Ultrathin Molecular Films" at the 2013 annual meeting of The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society.
"We have so much to show off," said Gordon C. Baylis, vice president of the Office of Research, about REACH Week. "This celebrates all the wonderful research activities our students do throughout the year."
In an email, Baylis said Leszczewicz's presentation was before "a highly prestigious, international society that has been in existence for more than a century."
Sarah Vowell, a New York Times' best-selling author of six nonfiction books on American history and culture, is the keynote speaker for REACH Week at 7 p.m. March 20 in Van Meter Hall.
Vowell's 2011 book, "Unfamiliar Fishes," tackles the history of Hawaii, while her 2005 book "Assassination Vacation" discusses visits to tourism sites dedicated to the assassinations of U.S. presidents Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield and William McKinley, according to information on the WKU website.
Vowell is also the voice of teen Violet Parr in the movie "The Incredibles."
The conference speaker is Dr. Paul Simmons, professor of medicine at the University of Louisville, who will deliver the address, "Intelligent Design: Is This the End of Evolution?" at 4 p.m. March 23 in Gary Ransdell Hall Room 1074.
WKU students will also present research papers that day.
Baylis said the university used to celebrate research on one day, but in recent years the celebration has stretched into a week.
"We prepare students very, very well for research careers," Baylis said. He added that WKU was ranked in the top 6 percent in the country in research master's degree programs by the National Science Foundation. "I think we can be very proud of that," he said.
Baylis said students write their own grants, putting them, in effect, in the driver's seat. He said that experience is good for all students, whether they are preparing for a research career or other career choice.
"Hands-on research is one of the best things we can do to allow students to take charge of their own destiny," he said.
WKU received nearly $23 million in research monies in 2010-11, according to the annual report for that year online.
Through FUSE grants – Faculty-Undergraduate Student Engagement – the students do the driving. For example, Megan McDonald, a junior at WKU from Louisville, used artwork from 50 elementary school students in the Louisville area to put together a mural that will be on display at the WKU Center for Research and Development during REACH Week. The mural is part of the Kid's Guernica Peace Mural Project. McDonald wrote her own grant, Baylis said.
REACH Week also includes Research Showcases March 20-22 at WKU College of Health and Human Services, WKU College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, Carol A. Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science, Potter College of Arts & Letters and Gordon Ford College of Business. —

Wind: 0 mph
By Brian Degen
The Open Hearth Community Center is in the process of creating a skatepark that will serve as a safe and accessible recreational outlet for Mad River Valley kids. Not all Valley youth are into skiing, hiking or soccer, and it's important to provide healthy outlets for kids to pursue their passions. Skateboarding is an increasing popular activity for many kids and young adults -- especially as winter snowboarders look for ways to pursue their sport during the warmer months.
For over three years, Open Hearth has endeavored to develop a skatepark that is safe, centrally located, properly scaled, easy to maintain, affordable and flexible in terms of its ability to expand or contract to meet actual usage patterns.
The skatepark will be located in the back corner of the parking lot next to the Big Picture Theater. This location was selected due to its accessibility to all Valley residents (many kids will be able to bike there), it's proximity to other youth-oriented facilities (such as the theater, the Couples Club, the Farmers' Market and the Irasville Country Store) and its visibility from Route 100. The Open Hearth board has been careful to locate the park so that it will be somewhat "self-policing" due to its public location, while not being overly obtrusive to the public view.
Open Hearth fully supports the Warren Concrete Skate Park and has shared 50 percent of all proceeds from carwash fundraisers to help fund a park that is easily accessible to Warren kids.
The Open Hearth, Waitsfield, skatepark is actually part of a broader vision for the Winter Park area (the land around the theater including the pond, the parking lot, and the open fields) to become a valuable recreation, educational and entertainment resource for area residents and visitors. Since the spring of 2006, Open Hearth has worked closely with landowner Ted Joslin, Waitsfield town officials, other local property owners, the Mad River Path Association, Broadleaf Landscape Architecture, and Shannon Morrison, District Wetland Ecologist for the state, to craft a vision that builds upon the resources of the theater, the pond and wetlands, and Mad Path, and is consistent with the Waitsfield Town Plan's concept of Irasville as the hub of activity for the Mad River Valley.
As part of the Winter Park master plan, Open Hearth has already funded and built the community playground and gardens next to the Big Picture Theater and has recently obtained a $10,000 Vermont Community Foundation grant for the planning of wetlands restoration and education, including a marsh loop path behind the theater that connects nicely to the Mad Path. Open Hearth has raised over $23,000 to date toward the construction of the skatepark, including a $5,100 grant from the Mad River Valley Recreation District.
The skatepark will be constructed from all-steel galvanized modular components with tamper-resistant stainless steel hardware manufactured by the American Ramp Company (ARC) that carry a 20-year warranty (see www.AmericanRampCompany.com ). The steel components are coated in a durable powder-coat paint finish that has the same "grip/feel" as concrete while offering superior corrosion protection. These components, which include modular skating obstacles such as "bowls," "half-pipes" and "volcano hips" are designed to be custom-configured, altered and added to over time.
This will result in an initial park that is economical and appropriately scaled while providing the flexibility to expand and change as dictated by the popularity of the park. Approximately 80 percent of the municipalities that build skateparks with ARC choose the all-steel system due to its safety, grippy surface, less expensive maintenance costs, greater value and lower cost of ownership as compared to concrete and wood.
The skatepark components will be placed on a paved area of the back parking lot, accented with a small grassy area and picnic table, and surrounded by a split rail fence and several trees. An observation pavilion will overlook the park so others may enjoy the many tricks and moves on display. The Yestermorrow Design/Build School is considering construction of the pavilion as a summer 2008 project.
Open Hearth has obtained a local building permit from the town of Waitsfield, has addressed storm-water runoff matters with the state, and is in the final stages of obtaining a Conditional Use Determination from the State Department of Environmental Conservation. Further fund-raising efforts will be completed in the spring with construction and completion over the summer.
Brian Degen, president, and AnneMarie Harmon, Skatepark Committee chair, on behalf of the Open Hearth Board of Directors.

The country western culture is foreign to me and there is no better introduction to a new culture than total immersion. At least that's my favourite strategy. I was of the "anything but country" variety for many years before I started dating a born and raised Calgarian. This year will be the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede so it seemed like the ultimate introduction to this integral part of his upbringing.
When I imagine the Stampede, the picture in my head is a toss up between a lawless, raucous street festival and an urbane city fair with partners swinging partners doe-see-doe. Of all the stories I've ever heard about the Calgary Stampede, I have heard very few adjectives used to describe it. Usually people tend to stop short at "It's just so –" or "You've just gotta – ". These types of descriptions, while leaving plenty of room for my imagination to run wild or "stampede" with visions of what to expect, may or may not be preparing me for what to actually expect on my summer vacation next week. From the information I have managed to gather, there are a couple aspects of the Stampede that seem to be especially community building in nature.
I am so looking forward to the prospect of an entire city taking part in a weeklong theme party. I am a costume party enthusiast to say the least. It's hard to imagine all of Vancouver getting dressed up in any one costume besides Canucks team wear but I do like to imagine everyone dressing up as fishermen for a week while for the most part going about their daily routine. Or if during the Olympics, instead of just wearing red mittens, we had all dressed up like the ancient Greeks. I have also heard tell of a special Super Hero Day in the Brazilian Mardi Gras celebrations when everyone dresses up as super heroes. From what I gather, it's the nostalgic feeling of dressing up that really makes the Stampede more than an urbane city fair and more of community cornerstone.
FREE PANCAKE BREAKFASTS! Get everyone together and give them free pancakes. The genius of this simple idea should not be understated. I have written before about the strong power of a shared meal. People are much friendlier when they have full bellies and even more friendly when they have recently been the given something for free. Friendly people are catalysts for community building. Perhaps the way I phrased it the first time should be corrected. The real idea here is, "if you feed them, they will come". Notably, this concept was a smash hit over the Canada Day long weekend in Vancouver with the first ever Food Cart Festival drawing in huge crowds and selling out their street eats.
Of all the adjective-less descriptions of the Stampede that I've heard, there has been a consistent excitement present in all of them. That excitement is undeniably contagious. I have my best outlaw gear at the ready and I'm raring to go to my first rodeo.
