There's something about being stuck in a hot city in the summer that makes our minds wander. We might be pounding the sweltering concrete streets, but our imaginations are off in heavenly, tropical locales where your cares miraculously drift away and the coconut-shell cocktails are always full. Although our daydreams might not be practical or feasible--we blame "Kokomo" for fueling that fantasy--we do appreciate this time of year, even if we're not island hopping. No matter where you're spending the summer, the season has an easygoing, carefree vibe, and that can easily be applied to your wardrobe! After all, complicated, fussy ensembles simply don't seem right when temperatures reach scorching levels, which is why today's edition of WWW: Styling Tips is chock-full of easy-to-execute outfits. From Olivia Palermo's smart use of accessories to Harley Viera Newton's creative, party-perfect ensemble, today's looks are sure to be a smash! Read on for all the details of their outfits and be prepared to get inspired!
Tip # 1: Combine lace and prints for an after-hours outfit.
We never stop searching for fresh ways to style an evening ensemble, so when we came across the outfit Selita Ebanks wore to a screening of The Hangover Part II in New York late last month, we were definitely excited! What set her look apart was the way she mixed two distinctive prints (a Tucker polka dot skirt and a floral Zara bed jacket) with a lace top by Foley to add dimension and interest to her after-hours ensemble. For a contemporary take on cocktail elegance, take a page from Ebanks' style book and don't be shy to mix and match! For starters, we think ASOS' Irregular Striped Midi Skirt ($60) would look great paired with Winter Kate's Condor Wrap ($195). Then simply add NastyGal's Lily Crochet Top ($48) and you'll have yourself a fashionable party look!
Tip # 2: Pair an army shirt with a pretty floral dress.
A feminine, floral dress is the perfect choice for so many summer occasions, but why not spice up this classic piece a bit? An army jacket is the perfect way to add interest to your ensemble; just look to Irina Lazareanu for guidance. Snapped at an event for Rika magazine in London last month, the model opted for a bottle green Maison Michelle brimmed hat, a pastel vintage dress, and an army green Rika jacket. We especially love the juxtaposition of her utilitarian topper paired with a floaty frock; it makes for one stellar outfit! Dying to assemble a similar look for yourself? Simply start with a pretty dress, such as Robbi & Nikki's Liberty Print Handkerchief Dress ($198) or Dahlia's Rose Print Dip Hem Sundress ($65), and add a sturdy jacket, like Forever 21's Cotton Blend Utility Jacket ($32) or Madewell's Over & Out Jacket ($135), for a true Lazareanu-inspired outfit!
Tip # 3: Elevate an all-noir look with statement pieces.
Wearing an all-black ensemble is certainly timeless, but that doesn't mean you have to play it safe! Strategic accessories will take your outfit from simple to show-stopping, as Olivia Palermo showed us how with the look she wore to a Hugo Boss event in New York last month. Palermo opted for a Dolce & Gabbana lace top paired with Tibi harem pants, and enlivened these black pieces with wisely chosen accents, including a Lulu Frost necklace, CC Skye bracelets, and Charlotte Olympia's Paloma Shoes in Purple Satin ($963). We're especially drawn to the unexpected pop of purple and her head-turning jewelry, which energized her black separates and made for an intriguing--and easy to re-create--outfit. For high-octane glamour a la Palermo, go for standout accents, such as Donatella Lucchi's Closed-Toe Slip Ons ($170), which look just like her pair, but at a fraction of the cost. We also think R.J. Graziano's Dirty Diamonds Mesh Cain Bib Necklace ($165) and Juicy Couture's Leather and Semi Precious Bracelet ($67) have Palermo-worthy cachet, especially when worn together!
Tip # 4: Style boho separates with round frames.
With so many styles of sunglasses to choose from--aviators, cat-eyes, '70s-style frames--picking the right pair to go with your ensemble can seem like quite a challenge. However, Zoe Kravtiz offered us an easy formula to follow with her outfit at the Derek Lam + eBay party in New York last month. Simply start with boho pieces, like a flowy midi skirt and crop top, and add John Lennon-esque round frames to achieve the perfect modern-day hippie vibe. Kravtiz executed this look with head-to-toe vintage (with the exception of her Chanel booties), but that doesn't mean you can't get the same style too! To channel your inner grooviness, we suggest snagging Nasty Gal's Lace Crop Tank ($28) and pairing it with either Holy Tee's Owen Seamed Long Skirt ($155) or T by Alexander Wang's Silk-Charmeuse Maxi Skirt ($195). We also think either ASOS' Orange Round Sunglasses ($21) or Matt Finish Keyhole Sunglasses ($26) will make for a fantastic finishing touch.
Tip # 5: Mix pastels and neons for a high-impact look.
Summer days call for easy, casual outfits, but that doesn't mean you should reach for just any old t-shirt and flip-flops! Instead, take a cue from the chic-yet-comfortable outfit Alex Wek created for the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in New York earlier this month. Her preppy outfit included a Lacoste Long Sleeve Extra Fine Cotton V-Neck Sweater ($67), light blue Rugby Ralph Lauren shorts, and a slew of accessories, including a vintage hat, Diane von Furstenberg scarf, handmade bangle from South Africa, and Emanuel Ungaro sandals. What we especially love about this look was how Wek punctuated her pastel separates with bright accessories, resulting in a high-impact contrast you can't ignore! To re-create her outfit, we suggest picking up a pair of tailored shorts, such as Forever 21's High Waist Denim Shorts ($16), and teaming them with Wek's exact sweater. For accessories, we recommend a bold scarf and think that River Island's Balloon Swallow Print Scarf ($26) is a great find. Last, but not least, add a colorful pair of sandals, like Tibi's Garden Sandals ($337), to guarantee that you step out in style.
Tip # 6: Balance a bare midriff with a midi skirt and cardi.
When compiling a new batch of Styling Tips each month for you, dear readers, there's one trendsetter who always makes our jobs easier: Harley Viera Newton. She routinely catches our attention with her expertly styled ensembles and today's featured look was yet another home run. For a Madewell store opening in New York back in April, Viera Newton wore a skirt and cardigan by said brand (which are no longer available) paired with a vintage crop top. Donning a midriff-baring shirt is no easy feat to pull off, but Viera Newton did so with aplomb! We love how she tempered the revealing top with more modest pieces, resulting in an undeniably fashionable ensemble! To mimic her savvy look, we suggest picking up American Apparel's Racerback Crop Tank ($22) and pairing it with either Topshop's Ginger Waterfall Midi Skirt ($80) or Madewell's Silk Canyon Skirt ($158). To finish off your look, reach for a long cardigan like Gap's Ribbed Cardigan ($55), which is definitely a smart choice!
Tip # 7: Try a slim, striped dress for a nautical night look.
Whether you plan on hopping aboard a sailboat this season or not, summer is the perfect time to break out your nautical-inspired pieces! Model Laura Bailey showed us how to wear a sailor-esque look the right way: via a sleek, striped dress. Late last month, the blonde beauty donned a Henrietta Ludgate Bodycon Dress ($404) paired with Lanvin shoes at an event in London celebrating the eco initiative Estethica. We suggest making a bold entrance at your next cocktail party with a striped dress a la Bailey--both Torn by Ronny Kobo's Barbara Striped Dress ($215) and Lauren Jeans Co.'s Three Quarter Sleeve Striped Dress ($119) are ship-shape options.
Tip # 8: Temper a lacey frock with a cropped vest.
For warm-weather months, a lacey, short white dress is guaranteed to keep you both cool and chic--the perfect combo, if you ask us! We particularly adore the way Bianca Brandolini D'Adda styled her LWD at a dinner hosted by Missoni in Venice, Italy late last month. For the event, the brunette stunner wore a frock and vest by Dolce & Gabbana and accessorized with an Azzedine Alaia leopard print clutch. Her well-calculated decision to add a cropped topper makes perfect sense for two reasons: it makes the mini dress a little less revealing and keeps the nighttime breezes at bay. A vest is your ticket to easy party dressing, so consider buying Topshop's Moto White Denim Crop Gilet ($66) to wear with either Forever 21's Strapless Lace Overlay Dress ($23) or NastyGal's Lula Scalloped Lace Dress ($48) for a seriously stylish look.--Erin Fitzpatrick

A new policy approved by the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) will require all public school students to participate in sex education instruction, beginning in kindergarten. According to the CPS website, the new mandate, passed on February 27, will require each student to receive "minimum instructional minutes" of sex-ed information that is "medically accurate" as well as (supposedly) age-appropriate.
"It is important that we provide students of all ages with accurate and appropriate information so they can make healthy choices in regards to their social interactions, behaviors, and relationships," Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said in the CPS announcement about the policy. "By implementing a new sexual health education policy, we will be helping them to build a foundation of knowledge that can guide them not just in the pre-adolescent and adolescent years, but throughout their lives."
In its announcement, the CPS explained that in the earliest grades students "will focus on the family, feelings, and appropriate and inappropriate touching, while students in fourth grade will learn about puberty, including the physical, social, and emotional changes that accompany it, and the causes and transmission of HIV infection."
After that, instruction gets more intimate, said the announcement, with content in grades five through twelve including "information appropriate for each grade level on human reproduction, transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS and other sexually-transmitted infections (STIs), healthy decision-making, sexual orientation and bullying, and contraception, including abstinence."
The announcement emphasized that "as is the case under the current CPS policy, parents and guardians are able to opt out of having their children participate in the sexual health education instruction."
The CPS noted that the plan was developed by the Chicago Public School Office of Student Health and Wellness, with help from a consortium of community action groups, including Mikva Challenge, the Chicago Department of Public Health, the University of Illinois-Chicago, the Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health — and, not surprisingly, Planned Parenthood of Illinois.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Clayton Christensen, one of the world's brilliant minds on business innovation, believes capitalism is broken. Needs a fix.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
But look closely at his three innovations for saving capitalism. He's really talking about saving America from a broken political system that was broken by capitalists. What if it's the other way around? If capitalism is America's biggest problem, why save it?
This story begins with Andy Grove. He once held up Christensen's 1997 book, "The Innovator's Dilemma," at a Las Vegas Comdex trade show and said it was "the most important book I've read in 10 years." Why? Solving the "innovator's dilemma" helped Grove build Intel into what's now a $100 billion semiconductor giant.
But when the new "A Capitalist's Dilemma" is published next year is there a new Andy Grove in Washington to endorse it?
The story really begins with Christensen's theory of innovation. In a Wired article Jeff Howe said back in 1997 "Clayton Christensen changed business thinking forever. 'The Innovator's Dilemma' looked at industries ranging from disk drives to steel to mechanical excavators and exposed a surprising phenomenon:
"When big companies fail, it's often not because they do something wrong but because they do everything right. Successful businesses ... are trained to focus on what he calls sustaining innovations — innovations at the profitable, high end of the market, making things incrementally bigger, more powerful, and more efficient." But "this leaves companies vulnerable to the disruptive innovations that emerge in the murky, low-margin bottom of the market."
New B-School innovation theory changed Andy Grove mind
Christensen's theory of innovation showed how "true revolutions occur, creating new markets and wreaking havoc within industries. Think: the PC, the MP3, the transistor radio. This insight — that managers might actually scuttle the ship by following the navigational chart laid down in business school — shifted the way people thought about innovation."
The story continues with New Yorker's Larissa MacFarquhar: "In industry after industry, Christensen discovered, the new technologies that had brought the big, established companies to their knees weren't better or more advanced — they were actually worse. The new products were low-end, dumb, shoddy, and in almost every way inferior. But the new products were usually cheaper and easier to use, and so people or companies who were not rich or sophisticated enough for the old ones started buying the new ones, and there were so many more of the regular people than there were of the rich, sophisticated people that the companies making the new products prospered. Christensen called these low-end products disruptive technologies."
Yes, Andy Grove got it! Before "The Innovator's Dilemma" was published, Grove met with Christensen. Discussed his theory. Intel then created a new subsidiary to make "the Celeron chip, a cheap product that was ideal for the new low-end PCs, and within a year it had captured 35% of the market."
But will the next book, 'A Capitalist's Dilemma,' save capitalism?
OK, so Christensen's got a great story. But will his next act save capitalism? And what about his real goal? Are his three new solutions truly innovative enough to save America from a broken political system? Don't bet on it. Yes, our political system is broken. But capitalism is the problem. Not the solution.
Washington's endless political drama has already been transformed by capitalism. So has Wall Street, Corporate America, Big Oil and the entire economy been transformed into a bizarre circus Adam Smith would never recognize. Capitalism is now an out-of-control Frankenstein monster that changed everything. Now it's "too powerful to change."
Still, Christensen's convinced his three main solutions to "A Capitalist's Dilemma" will transform capitalism, just as "The Innovator's Dilemma" transformed American business. That it's not too late to save the American economy, financial markets, politics, government and the world, if we just save capitalism. Don't count on it.
Transform Ayn Rand? Paul Ryan? The Tea Party?
So the story continues: Ask yourself, will it work in time to save America from the dark shadows Jack Bogle wrote about years ago in "The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism"? Unlikely. We'll never return to Adam Smith's ideal 1776 capitalism. Today, Ayn Rand, capitalism's new patron saint, locks in modern capitalism as a conservative ideal that speaks to conservatives:

I am very happy with this great product. It does not contain soy. The other ingredients caprylic acid, capri acid and alppha lipoic acid. I take this Ubiquinol QH together with Jarrows Toco Sorb (VIT E). This has worked very well to bring my blood pressure under control.

I've been taking Ubiquinol for a few months but this is the first time I tried this brand. The reason I tried it was because the some of the other reviews mentioned a noticable increase in energy. I have to tell you, I agree with this. Since taking this I notice I'm getting better, stronger workout in & feel generally more energetic. See what you think...it's worth a try.

Switch from ubiqinone to ubiquinol, which is more easily absorbed by our body. This is the only brand (100mg) which did not have any soy, which is linked to hormone imbalance, breast cancer due to estrogen dominance.
Don't recommend

This product caused massive acid reflux/indigestion(I'm guessing due to the d-limonene oil). Don't recommend it.

Sheila T.MinnesotaMy Face Loves ThisThis is the best face self tanner I have ever tried. It has a nice tint to it so you can see where you are putting it. The smell goes away after a few minutes which to me is huge!! I have used it before bed and not woke up with streaks or any of the color on my pillow. That is sweet!! Why.... well because I drool (yeah.. ick I know) and so I am always worried that I will end up with a streak around my mouth/cheek area.. LOL!! Nope.. haven't yet. I also have put this on for a day lotion under my makeup and not had any irritation or any other issues. Again..another huge deal in my book because my face is very sensitive. So.. this products gets my votes!! It is the ONLY face tanner I will ever use again!11 out of 11 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

A Short History of Nearly Everythingby Bill Bryson
Staff Pick
This learned and amusing work covers the origin of the universe to the human genome. A welcome journey with Bryson in typical wise and witty fashion.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
One of the world's most beloved and bestselling writers takes his ultimate journey — into the most intriguing and intractable questions that science seeks to answer.
In A Walk in the Woods, Bill Bryson trekked the Appalachian Trail — well, most of it. In In A Sunburned Country, he confronted some of the most lethal wildlife Australia has to offer. Now, in his biggest book, he confronts his greatest challenge: to understand — and, if possible, answer — the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us. To that end, he has attached himself to a host of the world's most advanced (and often obsessed) archaeologists, anthropologists, and mathematicians, travelling to their offices, laboratories, and field camps. He has read (or tried to read) their books, pestered them with questions, apprenticed himself to their powerful minds.
A Short History of Nearly Everything is the record of this quest, and it is a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it. Science has never been more involving or entertaining.
"Bryson...achieve[s] exactly what he'd set out to do, and, moreover, [he does] it in stylish, efficient, colloquial and stunningly accurate prose....
"Bryson has made a career writing hilarious travelogues, and in many ways his latest is more of the same, except that this time Bryson hikes through the world of science." People
"Hefty, highly researched and eminently readable." Simon Winchester, The Globe and Mail
"All non-scientists (and probably many specialized scientists, too) can learn a great deal from his lucid and amiable explanations." National Post
"One of the most engaging general-interest science books around. Think of it as a kind of a handy manual to the cosmos....Mr. Bryson believes that much of what humankind has learned can be conveyed to the average reader with humor and clarity." Dallas Morning News
"To those acquainted with the popular-science writing Bryson has digested, his repackaging is a trip down memory lane, but to his fellow science-phobes, Bryson's tour has the same eye-opening quality to wonder and amazement as his wildly popular travelogues." Booklist
"[T]o read Bryson is to travel with a memoirist gifted with wry observation and keen insight that shed new light on things we mistake for commonplace....[A] trip worth taking..." Publishers Weekly
"Loads of good explaining, with reminders, time and again, of how much remains unknown, neatly putting the death of science into perspective." Kirkus Reviews
"I can't vouch for the accuracy of the content, but written the way it is, it undeniably makes learning fun....I can't imagine what Mr. Bryson will tackle next....But I look forward to his future undertaking with unabashed eagerness." BookReporter
"With his keen and wonderfully humorous perspective, Bryson has written the best kind of travelogue...in which each stop on the itinerary is fascinating because he settles in and stays awhile, unearthing the stories and myths of the local denizens." Philadelphia Inquirer
"Bryson is surprisingly precise, brilliantly eccentric and nicely eloquent...a gifted storyteller has dared to retell the world's biggest story." Seattle Times
"Bill Bryson gives you science that's both serious and fun in this detailed and enjoyable book....Bryson's challenge here was...to make us understand and appreciate how profound, frightening or just plain interesting our world is, and he's done a wonderful job." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"A 545-page doorstop that is neither a hilarious travelogue or a witty book about language, both trademarks of the author. Rather, it's a swift tour of the sciences and an ambitious one at that....Bryson is a master of his craft." Chicago Sun-Times
"Bill Bryson's latest tome...delivers exactly what the title suggests....Readers familiar with Bryson's wry sense of humor and casual writing style will find plenty here; he makes science interesting and funny." Boston Globe
"A Short History of Nearly Everything is everything a book should be — informative, engaging, well styled, rewarding both for the information it provides and the art that shapes it." Minneapolis Star Tribune
In this book, bestsellling author Bill Bryson confronts his greatest challenge: to understand — and, if possible, answer — the oldest, biggest questions posed about the universe, everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization.

Rocky Mountain Care, as members of our communities, are committed to deliver compassionate health care services to all those entrusted in our care.
Our home care staff understand that patients are more comfortable and heal more readily in their own home. They are dedicated to helping patients meet their healthcare goals.
Our hospice staff provide compassionate medical, emotional and spiritual support to patients, their families and caregivers in order to assist them with obtaining the best quality of life possible during their experience with a life-limiting illness.
Our Rocky Mountain Care Foundation (RMCF) was implemented to assist patients with limited resources for obtaining health care services, equipment, and supplies. RMCF is funded through private donations, grants, and volunteer services. We are excited to have become partners with the United Way of Eastern Utah for the 2010-2011 year. Through this partnership our patients, without other means, will have access to medical equipment and supplies otherwise unobtainable without this funding. Being able to purchase the equipment and supplies will help patients to remain in their homes living independently. It will prevent them from falling by allowing the use of grab bars. They will not have to be without medications or diabetic supplies.
The funding will also benefit patients in many other ways. Our volunteer programs allow isolated patients to have some social interaction and support. It also relieves caregivers by providing some respite.
The Rocky Mountain Care Foundation has provided care for some patients who do not have any insurance or financial resources. People are able to achieve a greater quality of life through this program.
The Rocky Mountain Care Foundation is thankful to the United Way of Southeastern Utah for understanding this need in our community and partnering with our agency so this need can begin to be addressed.

text: I think the article had some interesting points, but a lot of them were ignorant. IBM issued the subpeona's in order to investigate whether those companies are funding SCO's suit and claims. I don't think companies would develop any more "closed source" hardware if microsoft went away than they currently do. There is a variety of hardware available and always will be. Certain hardware is designed with certain tasks in mind. Other hardware is designed to be cost effective more than focusing on one thing. And if everyone goes Open Source on the software side, then the companies will be more likely to participate in that. If Open Source won the fight, then they'd have to be more willing to work with Open Source projects in order to survive, because it would be obvious that that's where the market lies. Thus, his theories are fine and dandy, but they don't hold a lot of water in my book.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- National Zoo officials shared the results of the panda cub necropsy on Thursday morning. According to officials, the cub had lung and liver damage, and died from liver necrosis.
The cub was born on Sunday, Sept. 16 and died several days later. Officials say that the cub weighted less than 100 grams (or about 4 ounces) at birth.
According to officials, the cub's lungs were not fully formed and the cell death in the liver of the cub indicates there was not enough oxygen getting to the liver.
Later in September, officials with the Smithsonian National Zoo shared preliminary results from the necropsy of the giant panda cub.Chief veterinarian Dr. Suzan Murray shared the following:
- there was evidence of milk in the cub's gastrointestinal tract, meaning the cub had been nursed, but they don't know at this point how recently it had been nursed
- free fluid was discovered in the abdomen. The amount was moderate to increased for a cub but further testing will determine more about whether this was a factor in the death
- the cub's liver felt hard in places and the color was not uniform, indicating that the liver may be a component ion the death but again, officials won't know until the slides are back
- the coat of the cub was in good condition
- officials say the cub may have been a female
Zoo officials said in a press release that "The mortality rate for pandas in their first year of age in human care is 26 percent for males and 20 percent for females."
Thursday, officials said that Mei Xiang, the cub's mother, has mostly returned to normal behavior. National Zoo officials and their Chinese counterparts have not yet made a decision about the future of Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, the cub's father, at the National Zoo. The two countries have an agreement through December 2015 concerning breeding and cub behavior research. Officials said on Thursday morning that they will be meeting later in the fall to discuss whether the two pandas will stay at the zoo. There is the possibility that the zoo could exchange one or both of them with China.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Many young girls facing pregnancy find themselves scared and alone with few places to turn. The Shepard's Godparent Home offers young women a place to call home and prepare to become a mother.
Former resident Gabby McCannon came to the Godparent Home when she was pregnant, homeless, and only 17-years old.
McCannon said, "They accepted everything in complete totality. They were like OK this is your situation, we are not judging, we still want you to come and we want to help take care of you and want you to take care of yourself."
Her daughter is one of over 60 babies born through the home. They prepare young women to become mothers and offer educational courses. They are provided with food, shelter, and education for free.
Executive Director, Barbara Ford, has been working with the Godparent House for over a decade. According to her, many young women turn their lives around, but some are pulled down the wrong path after leaving the home.
In August, they saw this happen to a former resident, Nicolle Lugdon, one of the three people found dead in a Bangor car fire.
Ford said, "She made a lot of life changes while she lived in the home that were really positive. Unfortunately, when she left the home and didn't have that support she got involved with some things that put herself at risk and ultimately led to her death."
Ford and the others involved with the Godparent Home want to build a transition home to continue their work with the young women after the baby is born.
"A transition home provides women with the opportunity not to return to a situation that is dangerous or in a social setting that may put them or their baby at risk," explained Ford.
The proposed home would be called Nikki's Hope. It would offer an extra place to keep young women from harm and serve as a memory of Nikki.
"She was everyone's cheerleader and so I think the home is that. It's a place where they will be supported and loved and someone is going to be cheering them on and supporting them...and that is Nikki's hope."
The Sheperd's Godparent Home helps pregnant girls 13 to 28 years old. They rely completely on donations and fundraisers. The building and completion of Nikki's Hope will rely on those same donations.
Information on the home and how you can help is available on The Sheperd's Godparent website and Facebook page.
Donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 616, Bangor, ME 04402-0616.

As the first liberal arts college founded by Norwegian settlers and located in a community with a distinctly Norwegian flavor, Luther has a vital interest in European cultures and languages.
Luther's strong ties to Norway have fostered a keen awareness of Scandinavian culture, history, and economics among both the faculty and the student body. As a result, students majoring in Nordic Studies have a strong base on which to build.
Seven courses form the core of the Nordic Studies major. Students seeking a major complete at least two semesters of intermediate Norwegian, as well as the composition and conversation course. The remaining classes involve some coursework in Ibsen and modern Norwegian literature, as well as Scandinavian immigration, history, folk art, and folklore.
The goals of the course sequence are to equip Luther students with the language skills necessary to understand and appreciate the culture and literature of Scandinavia and to use the language in a variety of professions or in graduate school.

Authors Steve Simms and Francois Gohier visited the CEU Prehistoric Museum to give a presentation and book signing of their recently released book called Traces of Fremont: Society and Rock Art in Ancient Utah, on Saturday June 5.
Gohier, orginally from France, has spent the last 19 years taking photographs all over the state of Utah. He has traveled all across Utah, visiting museums and spending weeks at Nine Mile Canyon photographing the area.
Simms, an Archeology professor at Utah State University, has been noted for his work in the field. "Rock art is a great vehicle to look to the past," Simms said.
Initially thought to be a simple socio-political system, recent reassessments of the Fremont culture assume a more complex society. Author Steve Simms sets Fremont rock art studies in this contemporary context, using the principles of analogy and archaeological evidence. Francois Gohier's stunning photographs of rock art and artifacts offer an engaging complement to Simms's text, according to a press release by the CEU Prehistoric Museum.

Preparing For Class
Preparing for class is more than simply briefing a case. Before you even start, you need to guarantee that the atmosphere is proper for learning and reviewing. So decide: are you an "I must have quiet" sort of person? If so, hit the library and resist that temptation to prepare with friends. How about "I can't think unless there is music?" Find a good location for some sound - although you might need the music at lower decibels than normal. Law school requires immense concentration. Finally, can you prepare with friends? This one may be the most questionable: all of you need to be ready to prepare - and have the same degree of concentration. Otherwise, the studying may deteriorate into a talk session.
Once you found the proper atmosphere, you need to determine how to begin. In the same way an outline will guide you through the entire course, you need some guide of the day's assignment. Before you begin, look at the professor's syllabus and the table of contents. What is the subject matter being covered? Is it an historical overview of that particular area? Are you dealing with the basics? Exceptions? Be prepared to even skim over the day's reading to have a sense of proportion regarding how this day's readings fit into the entire scheme of topics currently being covered by the professor. If you are totally confused about where the professor is - and how the topic fits into the overall context of the course - you might wish to look at a commercial/outside outline or treatise to find the major points. Remember, these outlines are never a substitute for your preparation. However, if you are too perplexed to effectively study, this might help.
This preliminary period may also be a good time to review the questions following the reading: they might provide some focus regarding the cases. Don't be afraid to spend time getting ready - it can save you confusion later on.
Everyone knows that briefing is a preliminary skill that everyone is supposed to do - and lots of students fail to do. The question, of course, is how important is briefing cases prior to class - and how important is it to the overall preparation for exams? After all, good grades are the goal - not perfect briefs.
In fact, briefs can help in shortening exam preparation time so that you will have more time to study and take practice examinations. But reading a case is not the same as reading the latest great American novel - or even a history textbook. In fact, you need to recognize that court cases are not always an example of great writing. Archaic words and style often interfere with your understanding of the topic. Moreover, judges often lack the editing skills necessary to engage their audience. Unlike the instructions you have received from your Legal Research and Writing instructors to write for your audience and provide context, judges often assume you already understand the area of law. Remember, the case opinion is a result of parties suing and being sued in a real-life situation. The judge is primarily addressing his/her opinion to those parties - and they already understand the law. So don't get discouraged if you feel somewhat lost.
Another very important consideration is that you are beginners at legal analysis - and it is not easy to understand. Be patient with your ability - and realize that the initial months will be most difficult to process the courts' decisions.
So What Can You Do to Assist Your Briefing?
Have a legal dictionary - use it when you don't understand a word or phrase. You will find yourself relying upon it less and less as the months go by.
If you can't understand the case and have no sense of context - where does this case fit - go to the table of contents, outlines, or even a treatise to give you sufficient background. All the additional time you spend at this point will save time in the end.
Always make sure you know what system the court is from. Is this state or federal? Trial (rarely), appellate or at the highest appellate level? Remember, not every "supreme court" equals the highest appellate level - New York's Supreme Court isn't!
Remember that the cases you read for a particular assignment might be interrelated. Your understanding may be increased if you think of the cases as part of a continuum.
Don't be too concerned if you just don't "get" a particular case. After reading and attempting to understand - move on. You can always come back later.
Be prepared to have different interpretations of cases. After briefing, you might wish to discuss the cases with colleagues to get their opinions.
Finally, remember that the process of briefing is helping you not only understand a case - but also the legal analysis process. You use cases because they provide:
- Rules and Doctrines
- Arguments
- Policies
- Legal strategies that affect clients and outcomes
As you brief, you also learn how to do all the above - a great benefit beyond the who, what, when and why of case briefing!
All of you were given a lecture regarding briefing. As a quick review, let's go over the components.
1. Case name and citation - make sure you indicate level of court.
2. Statement of the case - this includes the relevant facts and any procedural history that is necessary to make sense of the case. Remember that case textbooks are often edited - you will be less likely to find extraneous material in your casebooks as in actual cases. Nevertheless, you need to focus on the important information regarding who is suing whom for what remedy - and what part of the case was the judge deciding on? If it is on appeal, make sure you know what happened in the lower court.
3. Issue - generally the court is either deciding what the proper rule of law should be applied and/or how does the law apply to these facts? Sometimes the court needs to decide the proper law before it can apply it to the relevant facts. So don't get confused if you have several issues.
4. Argument(s) - ask yourself what the current court is deciding. Is the judge ruling that the trial court was correct? If so, what was the legal theory and application and why is it correct? If the current court holds that the lower court was wrong - why is it and what is the correct application and legal theory?
5. Holding - fill in the blanks: "Under the correct legal theory, which is _____________, and under these facts, _________________________, then (what happens) ________________ legally?"
6. Policy - if applicable.
7. Analysis: what do you think about the decision? Later, you might add what your professor thinks about the decision.
After Briefing - but before Class
Once you have briefed a case, it is important to ask yourself several questions to help you prepare for the next class. Remember, in a Socratic class, you will be asked about this case - and other hypothetical situations. The professor will often use these new facts to help you determine the extent of a rule, find the exceptions, test the judge's analysis, and the like. Give yourself a head start by asking yourself:
Why did the judge focus on certain facts in reaching a decision?
Why did the judge ignore others?
Try altering some of the material facts and asking yourself what the result would be - and if it makes consistent sense, particularly if the court looks at policy considerations.
Compare this case to the previous ones in the same section: how is the case different? Does this case change the established law, or add to it? Does it create exceptions?
Once you have answered these questions, you may find that the class is easier to follow. Remember, preparation is the key.

CANTON - A county legislative effort that started in St. Lawrence County to nudge the state into a complete takeover of indigent defense costs is gaining support.
The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators earlier this month formally asked the state to take over the cost of providing indigent defendants with an attorney, a right to counsel when charged with a crime guaranteed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Since then, 10 other counties have passed similar requests and others have resolutions pending, Deputy County Administrator Ruth A. Doyle said.
The county was invited to participate in a press conference Tuesday in Albany with the New York State Defenders Association on how a statewide class action challenging the states present system of providing defense could be impetus for reform.
Public Defender Stephen D. Button said the caseload for his office increases annually.
Wed like to see the state lift that burden from the countys shoulders, he said in a statement. Weve carried that weight long enough.
The resolution is pending in Franklin County.
Seven years ago, a national study found that we had five lawyers doing the work of 12. This is underscored by a recent state report that describes that same problem as applying across the state, County Manager Thomas Leitz said.
Our public defender workload is further aggravated by New Yorks unique court structure: with 19 town courts and three village courts, our lawyers spin like tops to get the job done. We desperately need the state to fully lift this burden from us.

Economists to weigh in on Arizona economy
PHOENIX — Public and private economists weigh in on the state of Arizona's
economy Thursday as legislative budget analysts evaluate Arizona's fiscal
The economists serve on the Finance Advisory Committee. That group provides
input to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee staff.
The budget staff uses analysis by the economists as one element in preparing a
state revenue forecast that largely hinges on economic projections. Their
projection released earlier this week was slightly less rosy than one given last
week by Gov. Jan Brewer's top budget official.
A revenue forecast is a key element in writing a new state budget and one of
the top duties facing legislators when they begin starts their six-month session
last week.

Why Should I Join the ABA?
1. Window to the Outside World
Division membership provides a critical window for law students to look outside law school and into the issues facing professionals in the legal field. Membership in the Division allows students to join the world's largest professional organization of lawyers.
Members receive subscriptions to both the ABA Journal and the Student Lawyer Magazine. These publications provide a wealth of accurate, concise and timely information to help students "get a jump" on the real world.
2. Insight into Specific Fields of Law
The Association features over 30 sections, divisions and forum committees, each concentrating on a particular area of the legal field. Division members who have an interest in a particular field of law may join ABA sections, divisions and forum committees. (See the ABA website for a complete list of links to ABA entities.) Membership in specific sections allows students to gain practical information and opportunities to attend conferences with lawyers who are prominent in the field. Many sections offer membership for free or at substantially reduced rates (from $5 to $20) for law students.
3. Professional Development
Division membership provides an excellent opportunity to establish contact with leading practitioners in the Association and law students throughout the country. Involvement in sections allows students to interact and learn from leading attorneys in that field. By joining individual sections, students interested in a particular field of law can receive detailed information on the latest events and trends in that field. This is an excellent opportunity for students who are undecided on a particular area of law to explore different fields.
