I wonder if some of the "extreme" drummers of today could be as diverse and make it sound authentic. A lot of them are mainly doing the freakshow clinic thing, demonstrating things that would be of little use to aspiring drummers.
Tommy Aldrige is clearly influenced by drummers like Bonham, Carmine Appice, ect. He has that rock sound and feel to his playing.
I've seen certain extreme drummers sit in on straight up rock gigs and a couple times I thought it just wasn't working. Like they were out of place, with a need to throw in all the busy crazy fills. In that respect you can say that many of the old school guys are better suited for rock gigs.
Sometimes speed for speeds sake might be to blame for what's killing the art of drumming. Speed is important but not at the expense of everything else like pocket and groove.
AMEN BRUTHA!! Extreme drumming is cool, no doubt about it and there's plenty I enjoy listening to, but I must say too much it lacks the toe tapping fun and last but not least, MUSICAL approach that makes drumming worthwhile. It seems to be a way to showcase the drummers talents and endurance and doesn't seem to be a vehicle for showcasing songwriting at least that I can hear. There of course are the exceptional talents like Derek and Flo who have time and again showed their abilities to incorporate other styles of music into their playing even though they are well known for extreme drumming.
On to Tommy,
I was quite fortunate to be able to see Tommy Aldridge with Ozzy right after Randy Rhoads passed away, it was bittersweet as it was my first time seeing Tommy in a band situation so I was excited to see that, but was sad to know Randy was gone.
I got to see him in a clinic setting out in New Jersey (a 4+ hour drive one way for me) and luckily I was there early enough to have been hanging at the local drum store there and Tommy was there hanging out too. He is a very nice man, sincerely interested in talking with folks as we found out and he was just havin' fun and cracked a few jokes as we checked out the store and conversed a bit.
I'm having trouble remembering the date and If I can dig it up I'll edit this post and add the date, but it was a clinic with Tommy Aldridge, Joe Franco and a couple of other drummers were there too, but I was so blown away with Tommy and Joe that I paid all my attention to them and I pretty much blocked out the rest! L0L!! Tommy and Joe were just mind bending, I wish I had a video to watch of that clinic.

Product description
From sleek, silken tofu with delicate toppings to piping-hot fried satchels in a robust sauce, tofu provides a versatile canvas for the intricate flavors and textures that Asian and vegetarian cooks have long enjoyed. America has embraced tofu as a healthy, affordable ingredient. And while it has been welcomed into sophisticated mainstream dining, tofu is often hidden in Western guises and in limited applications. In her third intrepid cookbook, celebrated food writer and teacher ANDREA NGUYEN aims to elevate this time-honored staple to a new place of prominence on every table. "Asian" "Tofu" s nearly 100 recipes explore authentic, ancient fare and modern twists that capture the culinary spirit of East, Southeast, and South Asia. There are spectacular favorites from Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and India, as well as delicious dishes from Taipei, San Francisco, Santa Monica, and New York. Andrea demystifies tofu and interprets traditional Asian cuisine for cooks, sharing compelling personal stories and dispatches from some of the world s best tofu artisans along the way. For those who want to take their skills to the next level, the tofu tutorial clearly outlines tofu-making technique, encouraging readers to experiment with the unparalleled flavors of homemade varieties. But time-pressed cooks needn t fear: while a few recipes, such as Silken Tofu and Seasoned Soy Milk Hot Pot, are truly best with homemade tofu, most are terrific with store-bought products. Some traditional dishes combine tofu with meat in brilliant partnerships, such as Spicy Tofu with Beef and Sichuan Peppercorn and Tofu with Kimchi and Pork Belly, but this collection is predominantly vegetarian and vegan, including the pristinely flavored Spiced Tofu and Coconut in Banana Leaf and vibrant Spicy Lemongrass Tofu Salad. And innovations such as Okara Doughnuts reveal tofu s more playful side. For health- and eco-conscious eaters and home chefs who are inspired to make the journey from bean to curd, "Asian Tofu" is the perfect guide."

Review quote
"Flavorful meditations on soy." --Christine Mulhke, New York Times, Summer Cookbook roundup, 5/31/12 "If you're the kind of person who has only one, or two, or three ways to prepare tofu -- or is just plain mystified by the whole world of bean curd -- "Asian Tofu" is a godsend." --T. Susan Chang, National Public Radio, 2012's Best Summer Cookbooks, 5/23/12 "Beautiful, knowledgeable and thorough, this is the best book on tofu to make its way to my bookshelves. Highly recommended." --Carolyn J. Phillips, Zester Daily, 5/22/12 "Andrea Nguyen's new cookbook, "Asian Tofu" (Ten Speed Press, $30), might sound like a succinct, single-subject treatise. However, the book--her third--is actually a robust tome, almost like a biography of the soybean, from how it's used in multiple Asian cuisines to how it's relevant in contemporary American food culture." --Priscilla Mayfield, Orange Coast Magazine, 5/10/12 "This fresh, imaginative take on tofu includes an easy, practical lesson on making your own (we tried it, and it works like a charm), as well as a wide assortment of recipes for both traditional and imaginative foods. . . . Nguyen makes it appealingly clear that tofu is to be prized for itself and not for its utility as a meat substitute." --Kitchen Arts and Letters bookstore, Spring 2012 newsletter "A whole cookbook devoted to tofu? Yes, please. Andrea Nguyen's newly released "Asian Tofu" is a gorgeous guide to all things bean curd." --Caroline Russock, Serious Eats, "Cook the Book" feature, April 2012 ""Asian Tofu" gives soybeans some much needed love. Punctuated with gorgeous images, the cookbook breaks down everything you need to know about tofu, from making it yourself to the various styles and uses in different cuisines. Goodbye, drab associations. Hello, full-flavored revelation." --Tasting Table National, "Soy Genius," 3/28/12 "Nguyen presents tofu recipes through a dazzling array of Chines

Michael Brown was beating the odds. He made it through the minefield that can be the public education system in America; he graduated from Normandy High; he had no criminal record; and he was poised to enter technical school to learn a trade. So why was he buried last week after dying at the hands of law enforcement?
To understand Michael's tragic death, we have to understand the school-to-prison pipeline and its trajectory.
Early life: Like Michael, many black males across this nation grow up in communities like Ferguson, where they are educationally, economically and politically marginalized. Over 45 percent of Missouri's black children live in poverty. And, as President Obama remarked in his response to Michael's shooting, disparities for black males like Michael begin early; according to recent statistics released by the Department of Education, black children comprise 18 percent of preschoolers nationwide, but 48 percent of those receiving out-of-school suspensions. Every day in America, 16,244 public school students are expelled, and 6,191 of those are black. Research shows that such disparate discipline is rooted in implicit bias.

Plenty think floundering fish-supply company would be a good catch
Posted: March 25, 2010|
GRIMSBY'S Five Star Fish is attracting major interest, according to the administrators overseeing operations there.
As reported, the food service giant was put into the hands of Deloitte after parent company British Seafood hit the rocks.
And potential suitors for the business, which supplies restaurants, pubs, schools, hospitals and other catering operations, are in plentiful supply.
It underlines the high esteem the firm is held in.
A spokesman for Deloitte said: "There is no set timetable, but we are really encouraged by the number of interested parties we have had for the business.
"We have yet to narrow it down. We are taking everyone quite seriously."
Five Star was founded by Grimsby Town chairman and Conservative ward councillor John Fenty in the early 1990s and was sold to the Really Good Food Company in 2004.
The intervening years saw sales increase by £11-million, putting £15-million on the company's value.
That led to the purchase by London's Billingsgate Market-based British Seafood in 2007 for £35-million.
At the time Mark Holyoake, chief executive of the now-floundering firm, said: "I have admired this business for a number of years and feel that under our ownership the business can move to another level. It has a very exciting future with us."
Before Christmas, a £7-million expansion of the plant on the Great Grimsby Business Park and bordering the A180 entrance to the town, was completed, doubling capacity at the 14-year-old site.
It followed increases in volumes through both organic growth and the acquisition of companies, most recently Lowestoft-based flatfish supplier A Kalkman.
Deloitte was appointed to administer British Seafood following withdrawal of trade credit from the company's bank last month and it is believed the Serious Fraud Office is now investigating.
It is also understood that the collapse may have cost 3i, the listed private equity company which owned more than a quarter stake in the fish giant, about £80-million.
Locally, companies across the sector, from cold storage and logistics, to fish catching and trading, and allied processors in between, are awaiting the outcome with interest.

Sharing and Permission Default?
Hello. Is there an automatic default for Sharing and Permissions? The reason I ask is I'm the sole user of my computer. I have set up System Preferences - Accounts to be just myself as the Admin and only user. I've noticed when I "Get Info" for various items that the Sharing and Permissions will have different things listed. Wouldn't they all just default to me since I set it up that way in System Preferences? For example: When I Get Info for my printer, under Sharing and Permissions it tells me "You have custom access" and under Name and Privilege it lists:
system, Read & Write
admin, Read & Write
everyone, Read only.
But if you Get Info for example Skype my Sharing and Permissions are:
(Me), Read & Write
staff, Read only
everyone, Read only.
I don't share, I don't do any of the bells and whistles. Yes, I am boring and out of touch. So is there any way I can default everything I have to simply what I have set up in the first place under System Preferences which is myself? And further since I am set up at the "Admin" and only user, why do some Apps list "admin" and others "Me" if we are both the same?
A layman's explanation is much appreciated.
That's how permissions work in Unix. "System" is the OS. Deny the system access, and nothing works. Admin is anyone who has admin privileges. You may be the only one, but it's still a class of user. And Everyone is exactly that… everyone, even though "at the moment" you are the only one. Think about it. If all the permissions were restricted to just you, then you added a new user, all the permissions for every single file would have to be re-written. That's just nuts.
Also… it's HIGHLY inadvisable to have only one user account. It's not common, but sometimes user accounts can get corrupted and you wind up with an unbootable system if it's the ONLY user account. I had a weird issue some time back where I couldn't log into my wife's account. I wound up backing it up, deleting it, then re-migrating it and it worked fine. No idea why it ever happened.
Good advice, thanks. I never thought about having a second account for backup.
We had two customers in the same week a couple of years ago who, in a fit of paranoia, decided Everyone didn't need any access at all - they didn't want everyone going through their stuff. So they set Everyone to No Access, applied to all subfolders, only to find they have a very nice aluminum paperweight afterward. Unit would not boot, they couldn't access anything at all. Had to explain to both of them the concept of Everyone - Everyone includes you. It's like throwing away your car keys to keep everyone from stealing the car. Seems somewhat secure, except for the fact you can't get in either.

Got vista on mac how i get online
So i put vista on my macbook pro via bootcamp now when i log into vista and search for wireless devices it says theire arent any but there should be where do i get the drivers from ?
You need to insert your OS X disc while booted up in Vista and install the Windows drivers.
is that the applications install disk or the mac osx install dvd?
ok il try the apps install disk brb thanks :)
ok so i put it in when booted in vista whent to my computer and it couldnt open the disk
so i turnd mac off then turnd it on holding "d" ran system test and it said everythings already fine?
are you sure its the applications disk i should be installing?
It's not the applications disk. It's Disk 1 (System). Pop it in, and Windows Vista should autoplay the disc. If not, you'll need to open it from Start => Computer => DVD drive and run the setup.
By the way, all of this is covered in the Boot Camp documentation which you were prompted to print out during the Boot Camp Assistant process. I would recommend you do so now and save yourself some hassle:

Doc at Inner Child Gamer wrote a post about the case for creating more games with female protagonists. Unfortunately, the antiquated and limited state of the industry is still such that some designers and writers need to fight for and are required to justify why their games have a female protagonist—a situation that strangely does not exist when designers propose male leads in games. There are an overwhelming number of games on the market in which there are no women leads, in which women are relegated to supporting or background roles, and in which women are hyper-sexualised and objectified. To deviate too much from what is believed to work well is courting too much risk in the eyes of many game companies.
The post at Inner Child Gamer opens with a quote from Game Director Peter Ong about the protagonist of the upcoming DS game, Monster Tale. Ong observes that his decision for Monster Tale to have a lead female protagonist was a controversial one, and a battle that had to be fought with their publisher. Whilst some of Ong's statements are a little sexist in themselves, such as the idea that women are uniquely nurturing in nature simply because they are women, Ong stated that the idea of a young, muscular, male protagonist is quite a tired and generic trope, and he wanted to do something different from what everyone else was doing. However, the publisher felt that putting a woman in the lead protagonist role was too risky and would not capture "large audiences." The publishers argued that it would be safer if a man was the lead, or at the very least, a sexy woman. These statements are quite telling. They show that this publisher acknowledges both that the audience they're selling to is incredibly sexist—so sexist, in fact, that their target customers would be more likely to buy a game if it stars a man, or a woman that is made to be objectified, than purchase a game in which a woman protagonist is presented in a non-sexualised way—and that the publishers are knowingly trying to pander to this audience by playing into their audience's sexist world view. This is an insult to consumers, and sadly envisions a monolithic, close-minded, regressive, and sexist market that is not receptive to protagonists who are different from them. Have female protagonists as a whole really been given a fair shot in the market?
Doc argues that there have been too few women protagonists in games compared to the huge number of games with male protagonists, and thus there have been few chances to prove whether women leads can capture "large audiences" at all. It's sort of like the Catch 22 situation where a job you want to apply to only wants applicants with experience in the relevant field, but how can you ever gain that experience if someone won't give you a chance? It's a self-fulfilling prophecy in a way. Game companies are averse to produce games with female leads because they believe that games with female leads don't generate huge revenues. The market is currently flooded with games that do not have female leads and/or games in which women are hyper-sexualised and objectified. Game companies interpret this information to mean that games with female leads don't generate the big bucks. And thus the stagnation continues.
Further, heavily weighting the revenue generation prospects of a game on whether it has a female protagonist or not doesn't take into account any number of other factors that could contribute to the earnings of a game: design, story, marketing, etc. To say that a game doesn't do well only because it has a female protagonist is a simplistic and shortsighted analysis. It's one of many different factors to consider.
I argue, however, that increasing diversity in characters and creating well-rounded, interesting characters, particularly characters who are not heterosexual, white, cis males, is a way in which companies can be competitive and differentiate themselves from what everyone else is doing. Why do companies want their game to be like every other game out there? In an ultra-competitive market, particularly in genres in which consumers have a lot of choice, shouldn't games companies look for ways in which they can distinguish their product from all the other products in the same genre? Why present players with yet another heterosexual, white, cis male character out on a mission to rescue his love interest/take revenge/clear his name/save the world? We've seen that before. I'd like to see game companies innovate in the area of characters and story, and specifically telling the stories of protagonists that have rarely been told, or have not been told at all.
The post discusses demographic data about the number of women gamers. It turns out that there are a lot of women who play games, which probably isn't surprising to readers, but this information goes against conventional, mainstream thinking of gamer demographics. We may heard these statistics before: 40% of all gamers are women, and women over age 18 make up a larger proportion of the games market than boys aged 17 and younger. However, the mindset that most gamers are male is unfortunately quite entrenched in the industry and in mainstream consciousness. Furthermore the mindset that the male consumers of games are sexist is also pretty entrenched. If this was not the case, it wouldn't be a big deal to make a woman the leading character in a game, and it would not be so difficult to convince executives that having positively-portrayed, kick-ass women in leading roles is good thing. If this sexist mindset wasn't so entrenched, people wouldn't question the notion of simply having a female protagonist.
There could be money to be made where others lack in innovation or imagination, says Doc:
I theorize that a developer could even capitalize on this deficiency and make strong female protagonists their trademark. They could easily create a very loyal, if niche, fanbase that follows their work, buys many of their titles and spreads word among friends.
The point I disagree with is that making strong female protagonists a signature mark would necessarily generate a niche audience, partly for the factors of complexity I noted above.

Whitewashed Cottage Dining Room
A bright dining area.
Work your style and floor plan around the structure of your space, not the other way around. Part of the appeal of this sunny cottage breakfast room is the uneven beadboard and knotty wood floors. Designer Anne Hepfer kept these elements intact and simply transformed the look with white paint, casual decor and a fresh blue and white palette.
How To
Study a room before you buy or move around furniture (don't automatically arrange seating the same way you had it in your last place). Consider the light, surfaces and the room's function and let those elements direct your choices.

Career/Graduate School
Incorporating Study Abroad into Your Career Search
With all you've experienced and learned, it's not uncommon to find that your academic, personal or career goals may have shifted, expanded or completely changed. Maybe you want to find a way to continue traveling, or maybe you've discovered a passion for French literature and want to change your major. Your ideas of the perfect job may be different. Take some time to think seriously about what you want and where you see yourself in the future. While you shouldn't feel too much pressure to plan your entire life at this time, you do need to think about plans for the upcoming year. Deadlines for entry exams like the LSAT (for law school and the GRE (for general graduate programs), as well as scholarships, fellowships and graduate school applications can come up quickly.

Study Abroad as a Career
By Christie Shrefler (Explorations/Study Abroad)
So how do you find employment in study abroad? A lot depends on the type of job you are looking for. The field encompasses all sorts from students volunteering or doing internships, to experienced and highly qualified professionals. There are 4 main areas in International Higher Education:
- Study Abroad
- International Student Service
- International Curriculum
- Teaching English as a Foreign Language
Studying abroad is a great field to be in. It is wonderful meeting with students (and parents) and encouraging them to think outside the box. Studying Abroad is a life changing experience and there is nothing better than witnessing a student's growth! Because this is such a great field, professionals tend to get jobs and NEVER leave. So, it will probably take you a while to find a position. Once you find a job, just plan to network with other programs/schools and move up the organizational ladder. Best piece of advice for finding a job in international education: BE PREPARED TO RELOCATE! Chances are likely that you will not be able to find a job in one specific area-so choose now what is most important: 1) being a professional in International Education or 2) staying in one specific geographic location.
You should be aware that working in a study abroad office isn't always exciting and fun! Many people want to be in the field, because they assume they'll get to travel all over the world. This is certainly a perk, but do not assume that this will be an option, especially with the current economic situation. The profession can be stressful at times, we create policies and liability paperwork, we work with faculty/administrators (many of whom may not support study abroad), we deal with accounting and budget cuts, handle "helicopter" parents, turn under qualified students away, and often manage crisis situations. Also, if you have big dreams of making a lot of money, then this is not the field for you! We love our jobs and stay in our jobs because we are passionate about international education; we do not do it because of the money! Read this great article on job responsibilities, salaries and more.
General guidelines that will help you take a step into this challenging and rewarding world:
Get International Experience. Only 1-2% of undergraduate college students study abroad. It is hard to sell something that you have not experienced yourself. One of the great things is that all those carefree travels, viewed skeptically by many employers, actually become an advantage. Put it all in your resume: that summer spent backpacking in Italy, those two weeks learning Spanish in Guatemala, etc. It's all about showing a commitment to international living and learning about other parts of the world.
Of course the best kind of experience is having taken part in a study abroad program yourself, as you will already have an idea what these programs should achieve (either through a positive or negative experience).
Learn a Language. Having two or more languages will give you a big boost when applying for any job in this area. Stands to reason: one of the biggest barriers to cross-cultural understanding is language. Being able to communicate with people in their own language immediately elevates you in their eyes and increases your chances of acceptance.
Take it Seriously. It may seem like the ultimate fun job, but any study abroad position comes with more than average responsibility. With a group of hormonal students let loose in a foreign environment the possibilities for physical, mental, or cultural harm, are infinite. Never forget that; whoever interviews you certainly won't.
Now to specifics
- Join NAFSA's SECUSS-L listserv to learn the latest in the field. You will find job postings and discussions about international education. This will keep you up to date about the challenges/changes in the field.
- If you have studied abroad through a program provider, talk to them 1st. They often have entry level positions available.
- Network, Network, Network. Attend conferences when you can and meet study abroad professionals.
- If you are a student, talk to the study abroad office at your school about the possibility of interning or volunteering on an existing program. Or go ahead and find your own internship. The possibilities are plentiful once you start to look
- If you cannot find something in the States, then look abroad.
- You might want to consider Graduate School. Many entry level positions require a Master's Degree. Degrees to consider: International Studies, Intercultural Education, and Higher Education. Look for a program with an Assistantship (particularly in Study Abroad), if possible.

After all the hard work, tension, and sleepless nights, as well as four months' worth of intense virtual meetings across the breadth of the world's time zones, there were relieved smiles, firm handshakes and tight hugs at the end of LawWithoutWalls' 2013 session, which began in January in Segovia, Spain, and concluded at the University of Miami the second weekend in April.
For the third consecutive year, LawWithoutWalls, the groundbreaking program directed by Miami Law, brought together the talents, knowledge and ideas of dozens of people from around the world – this time, close to 150, including 44 law and business students from 18 schools in 11 countries – to create a swath of entrepreneurial ideas that could guide the future of legal education and the profession. The students, grouped into 14 teams, each of them assigned a topic and a problem to solve with a new idea, presented their projects in Miami to panels of judges at an event known as the ConPosium.
"It's such an amazing program," said Michael Paranal, a student at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the winning team – it also included Miami Law's Paige Reese and Jackie Nga Man Yeung of University College London – in the ConPosium's presentations contest. "Where else would you be able to meet such an amazing group of people, all with the same goal in mind?"
The team's winning presentation was titled, "The Death of the Cover Letter: Rethinking How to Find a Job and Build a Career," an eminently practical set of ideas that had emerged victorious only after a second round of voting – everyone in the room votes electronically – to break a three-way tie.
Each team has the benefit of several mentors – academics, practitioners, entrepreneurs and members of the corporate world. Teams also have access to so-called subject expert advisors in law and business, as well as a group of venture capitalists who are on the lookout for terrific ideas. One of the program's most visible participants is the global law firm Eversheds, which brought large contingents of lawyers to both the Segovia and Miami conferences.
LawWithoutWalls' latest incarnation was a learning experience for everyone. "I didn't know the challenges in the legal landscape, and that there was this approach to solving these problems," said Miwa Gardner-Page, another student from Wharton, one of two business schools in the program. "I didn't realize how a business person's involvement can help shape the legal industry. It was fantastic, and pretty revolutionary in terms of meeting on Adobe Connect and being in all these spaces. They plant seeds with these ideas."
Gardner-Page was on a team with Miami Law's Yana Mityaeva; Jill Barrett, from University College London; and Joel Fox, from Tel Aviv University, with a presentation titled, "Not Lost in Translation: Delivering Legal Services Across Multiple Jurisdictions and Common/Civil Law Tradition." One of the judges assigned to assess their performance, Liz Lamar, a management consultant whose firm specializes in law firm management and technology solutions, said, "I commend you guys for taking on such a broad topic," and noted that they were "capable of identifying strengths and leveraging them." But she advised the team members to focus their energies and "not be all things to all people."
Another panel judge, Christopher Baker, a partner at Skadden Arps in Paris and an adjunct professor at École de Droit de Sciences Po, spoke during a break. "Put three or four kids in a room with a great idea and what comes out of that is mind-boggling," he said. "It's always an eye-popper to see what part of the topic they choose and what angle, and from the spectators' point of view that's what's most fascinating, apart from the energy and the enthusiasm."
LawWithoutWalls is led by Michele DeStefano, an Associate Professor at Miami Law, and Michael Bossone, Special Advisor to Dean Patricia D. White. "What matters is the journey – the journey that got us all here," Professor DeStefano told the students, and asked them to think back to the program's beginning in January. "You had to pick something from all those possibilities... Some of you had no idea what the topics meant, and you pushed it."
"As we conclude our ConPosium," Bossone said, "we hope and pray that all of us will remember the stories of this weekend... and that we should live each moment like we will never, ever forget."
To end the session, Professor DeStefano and Bossone embarked on a parade of thanks that included acknowledgements of Dean White and Peter D. Lederer, a former a partner at Baker & McKenzie, both of whom were instrumental in the program's founding. There was a standing ovation and a bouquet of flowers for LawWithoutWalls' program coordinator, Lauren Madigan, who had adroitly orchestrated the countless, intricate details of the course and of its opening and closing conferences.
Although everyone is required to possess a working knowledge of English to participate, a good illustration of the potential complexity of the undertaking – beyond the heady topics at issue – is the fact that students in LawWithoutWalls this year speak the following additional languages: Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Swiss German, German, Hebrew, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Urdu, Hindi, Tamil and Irish.
The schools in the program, located across 19 time zones, are Fordham Law, Harvard Law, IE Business School, IE University, Indiana University School of Law, Miami Law, Montréal Law, National Law School of India University, New York Law School, Peking University School of Transnational Law, São Paulo Laws, Stanford Law School, Sydney Law School, Tel Aviv University, Universidad Católica de Chile Law, University College London Laws, University of St. Gallen Law School, and Wharton School of Business.
After it was all over, Miami Law student Sean Maye said the program had been "great" but that it was a relief to be finished. "It's bittersweet – it's sad to leave the LWOW family and my group," he said, referring to his fellow team members, Yoni Levy, from Harvard Law School; Marta Ottogalli, from IE University Law School, Segovia; and Bhargavi Raman, from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore.
Maye said he was pleased, though, "that all this hard work is done, and it's paid off."

DSLR cameras have allowed filmmakers to have a great advantage – the ability to utilize a relatively inexpensive camera to shoot large format, hi-def video rather than using expensive dedicated video cameras. Now, Panasonic has announced their first entry into the forthcoming hybrid DSLR/video camera market - the Panasonic AG-AF100. With the capacity to maximize the potential of its high-resolution, large-format imager and all the professional video camera features you expect from a pro video camera -filmmakers can have the best of both worlds. Steve Weiss and Jens Bogehegn had the opportunity to see the Panasonic AG-AF100 up close and personal when Jan Crittenden, Panasonic's Product Line Business Manager visited Zacuto's headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. "It was great to have Jan, Tom and Ned from Panasonic stop by so we could test out the new kid on the block. It is an amazing camera, which addresses the issues that DSLR's have. However as a palm-style camera, it still has a limited ability to be shoulder mounted in a professional manner and to add professional accessories like matte boxes and follow focuses. As I expected, our tried and true Universal Base Plate http://store.zacuto.com/universal-baseplate-v3-includes-12-inch-rods.html works on this camera perfectly. In fact, with the addition of the HDMI out on the camera, we can pair our Z-Finder EVF http://www.zacuto.com/zfinderevf with the AF-100 to make it a fully capable and very comfortable shoulder rig which will have that familiar feeling to the pros - as if using a Varicam," said Jens. For more information on the new Panasonic hybrid DSLR Video Camera and additional product specs, please visit: http://www.zacuto.com/panasonic-ag-af100#more-5218 Panasonic AG-AF100 Video Camera Specs include: - Four Thirds type image sensor and Micro Four Third lens mount. - Professional high quality videos in PH mode with Full HD Variable Frame Rate function. - Interfaces (HD SDI output/ XLR input) and design required for professional production work. - Internal ND filter: 1/4, 1/16,1/64 or Off (rotary switch). - Focus-assist function: edge coloration, focus bar display. - DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch): automatically reduces compression of black or blown highlights in high contrast scenes. - thumbnail viewing, clip deletion and SD card to SD card copying and meta-data recording functions. - Pre-rec and interval rec functions. - Relay recording: Relay recording from one SD card to another without interrupt. - WFM display functions: the wave form of the video being recorded is easily displayed on an LCD monitor. -Shot mark function: the useful shot mark function allows marking of clips as good, bad or others. - User buttons: three user buttons allow high-frequency functions to be performed with a single push. - Audio volumes: allows manual adjustment of audio inputs (2ch). - Video output (pin jack x1), HD/SD SDI output (BNC x 1), HDMI output (HDMI Type A x 1). - USB 2.0 (Type B) allows connection to PC/Mac. - XLR audio inputs (XLR x 2, Line/Mike selectable, +48V compatible), internal microphone (stereo). - Audio outputs (RCA x 2), Headphone (stereo mini jack x 1(3.5mm diameter)). - Camera Remote (super mini jack x 1, S/S, mini jack x 1; focus, iris).

The First Tennessee Human Resource Agency cut the ribbon on its newly renovated facility on Rolling Hills Drive Friday and introduced the latest in its network of 16 human service programs — a new shuttle service that begins work on Monday.
In welcoming remarks to a large crowd of guests from across the eight-county region served by FTHRA, Executive Director Jason Cody said the agency purchased the 50,000-square-foot industrial building and its five-acre site out of bankruptcy late last year at "a fire sale price" of $200,000.
FTHRA moved into the building in early January and, acting as its own contractor, has since completed about $1 million in renovations. With the building's purchase, Cody said, for the first time in its 38-year history the agency has been able to save the cost of rent and has ample room to expand its programs.
On Monday, the agency's NET Trans rural transportation program will launch the first of those expansions, a new on-demand, handicap accessible shuttle service for Elizabethton and Erwin residents. In addition to destinations inside the two cities, the new Connex shuttle service will provide daily transportation from Erwin and Elizabethton to Johnson City where riders may transfer to NET Trans' Red Route shuttle to Kingsport.
The buses will be available from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Rides may be scheduled within 30 minutes of the desired pick-up time by calling 461-8288. The cost is $2 per ride for adults and free for college students. Monthly passes are $25.
In addition to a new driver training center for the NET Trans program, the Rolling Hills Drive facility also includes a new commercial kitchen for FTHRA's regional nutrition program. The program delivers about 1,000 hot meals daily to youth program sites, to home-bound seniors served by the Meals on Wheels program, and to congregate feeding sites located at senior centers and senior housing complexes across the eight-county area.
The new building also houses FTHRA's misdemeanor probation program that works in partnership with local courts and its alternative correction program. The program works with the state Department of Corrections to provide electronic monitoring and other probationary services to people convicted of drug offenses and other non-violent felonies who would otherwise be in prison.
FTHRA's Senior Community Service Employment Program, which provides training and facilitates temporary employment for older workers who are attempting to re-enter the job market, also operates from the new facility. The Personal Support Services program, which provides housekeeping, nutrition and personal care assistance to seniors at risk of nursing home placement, will operate from the facility as well.
All total, Cody said about 100 employees and more than 600 volunteers are involved in the delivery of FTHRA services. He said a majority of its programs are designed to help older people remain in their homes for as long as possible and are increasingly in demand.
"We want to do more because there is a tremendous need out there and it is only going to grow as the baby boomers get older," Cody said.
For more information about any FTHRA program, call 461-8200 or visit www.fthra.org.
