The City of San Antonio has been designated a Citizen-Engaged Community by the Public Technology Institute. The designation recognizes excellence in multichannel contact centers and best practices for the use of 311 services, web portal technology, telephone systems and mobile communications infrastructure. The City was among the top 13 citizen-engaged communities in the nation for 2013-2015.
"We continue to make improvements to increase access and transparency for City services and the method by which citizens get information," said City Manager Sheryl Sculley. "This recognition validates our efforts to leverage our call center resources with the Internet to provide better service to our residents."
The Public Technology Institute's Citizen-Engaged Communities Designation Program challenges local governments to achieve high standards in citizen participation, seamless service delivery and democratic accountability. All applicants were selected for their multichannel contact center improvements, including integrated communication channels and technology, as well as performance reporting. For the City of San Antonio, this included the newly launched 311 Mobile App and additional website information including 311 Call Center performance standards, as well as the open 311 system which maps all service requests received by the City.
One of the highlights of the City's application was the recent launch of a 311 mobile app. With the app, available for Apple and Android mobile Smartphone devices, residents can submit service request reports directly to the City of San Antonio for graffiti, junk vehicles, overgrown yards, aggressive or dead animals, pothole repair, and damaged garbage or recycle carts, among other issues. With their report submissions, residents can also attach photos, identify a location, and check the status of a report.
In addition to requesting City services through the new mobile app, residents seeking City services can utilize convenient online resources currently available, including the 311 online self-service portal where citizens can submit service requests. The services can be found at sanantonio.gov and are accessible 24 hours a day. For more information about the Public Technology Institute, visit PTI.org.

Midshipman Wins "Tomorrow's Leader" Laureate Award
Posted on: April 04, 2013 08:00 EDT by Jessica Clark
Naval Academy Midshipman 1st Class Ben Putbrese was named one of four "Tomorrow's Leaders" at the Aviation Week Laureate Awards Dinner last month in Washington, D.C.
The Aviation Week laureate awards were established more than 50 years ago to recognize individuals and teams for achievements that embody the spirit of exploration, innovation and vision and inspire others to strive for significant, broad-reaching progress in aviation.
The Tomorrow's Leaders award honors young men and women who have chosen career paths in the armed forces, are ranked within the top five percent of their graduating class, and have demonstrated a special interest in aviation or aerospace.
"I've had a strong interest in aviation, especially human spaceflight, ever since I assembled my first Lego space shuttle back when I was just a little kid," said Putbrese, an aerospace engineering major with a 4.0 cumulative grade point average. "When I came to the Naval Academy, I was immediately drawn to the camaraderie and technical expertise I saw in the naval aviation community."
In addition to his outstanding academic record, Putbrese serves as the brigade executive officer, the second highest ranking midshipman out of more than 4,000. He is a member of the academy's American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics student chapter and races with the Naval Academy marathon team. He is qualified to run in the Boston Marathon later this year.
"I believe this award is really just a testament to what an outstanding aerospace engineering department we have at USNA," said Putbrese. "Our program is truly world class, and our faculty and staff are totally dedicated to producing the next generation of aviation leaders."

I just love sharing with my readers... the various product survival tests that manufacturers put their various brands through to help ensure that they live to their specified high standards.
Here we got a hold of three separate BlackBerry produced by Ryan P. a hardware Engineering Technician at RIM... these are the Water Test, the Drop Test and the Bend and Flex Test:
The Water Test
For the water test a BlackBerry Curve 9360 was dropped into water, or what they call the "Moisture Ingress Test". This water contains dye so that they can tell where imperfections are in the design to "improve the device's water seal".
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
The Durability Drop Test
The actual drop test is cool and apparently every Berry gets dropped on concrete "hundreds of times" to ensure it's ready for a full rollout. In the video it's never states the amount of pressure that used for the bend test, but does confirm "your BlackBerry smartphone can withstand the pressure of your posterior".
Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
The Bend and Flex Test
Finally, the keys. Majority of BB users love the QWERTY keyboard – it's one of the main reasons that makes a BlackBerry so "iconic". The keys have been pushed, zapped and tested "literally millions of times to sure they click with the right pressure and can withstand all the e-mails, BBM messages and tweets that you type. Have you ever been shocked by a door handle… RIM zaps them with what is called an Electrostatic Discharge, or ESD, to make sure that the sensitive internal components are protected."

As millions of Americans tune in to news coverage about the death of Osama Bin Laden this week, a much smaller but equally ambitious group of Westerners are carefully reading and perhaps adopting the views put forth by contributors to the Spring issue of Inspire magazine. Contributors to this controversial and provocative English online magazine hope to inspire Western youth to take violent action against fellow Westerners in defense of Islam. In the most recent issue, contributors celebrate killings of Western service men and women, provide guidance on how to operate a Kalashnikov rifle, and discuss how current protests in the Middle East may be beneficial for terrorist groups such as al Qaeda. Before we write this magazine off as senseless extremist propaganda, let's take a moment to seriously consider whether Inspire might actually be effective in at least partially meeting its intended goals.
Like other magazines, Inspire exerts both informational and normative influence over its readers. The information the magazine provides is of considerable value to its readers because it is unique and difficult to find through other means. Without explicit training, most Westerners wouldn't know how to operate a Kalashnikov rifle. Likewise, few if any Western news contributors express the view that current protests in the Middle East may be beneficial to groups such as al Qaeda. Inspire provides English speaking readers with unique and valuable information that is not available to them through traditional venues. The normative influence that Inspire exerts over its readers is more subtle. The prevailing view among Westerners seems to be that violence enacted in defense of Islam is deplorable. Inspire suggests that this violence is not only legitimate, but desirable. Knowing that they have the support of others, readers that accept this divergent perspective may begin to engage in new behaviors that are consistent with it. These behaviors may range from mere support for extremist goals endorsed by the magazine to actual violence against Westerners. Inspire seems to effectively provide information that interested readers consider valuable, and presents this information in a light that makes it appear normative.
So Inspire may be at least partially effective in meeting its goals. English speaking Westerners—perhaps even some of your friends and neighbors—will read this magazine and make judgments about it. Some of these judgments will be in favor of the views expressed by contributors to the magazine. What do you think? Will Inspire inspire many Westerners to support and/or engage in violent defense of Islam? Or will its message fall on deaf ears along with other senseless extremist propaganda?

POTSDAM Thinning the border between the United States and Canada for more efficient trade and tourism while improving security was the focus of a forum hosted Friday at Clarkson University by U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh.
This is very important to our region, he said to more than 50 participants. It has tremendous impact on our economy on every level.
The forum highlighted the work of the Beyond the Border Action Plan and the Regulatory Cooperation Council and included a number of Canadian partners.
The initiatives articulate an approach that focuses on addressing threats early, easing the flow of trade, encouraging cross-border law enforcement, streamlining and promoting trusted traveler and commerce programs, simplifying and harmonizing regulations and inspection programs, trying out entry and exit pilot programs, supporting smaller business trade by reducing paperwork, modernizing the buildings and equipment needed to get the job done and working on preclearance of rail and maritime travelers, among others.
The concepts are good but require input from the ground up, said Thomas V. OKeefe, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, Chapter 138, which represents U.S. Customs and Border Protection employees.
On the macro level, it sounds great, he said. The employees have to be brought into this.
The trend toward more efficiency while not sacrificing security is important, Mr. Owens said.
Were moving in the right direction, whereas in the past we werent moving in any direction, he said.
People can help by reporting to elected representatives misalignments that inhibit trade, said Kevin OShea, assistant secretary of the Border Implementation Team Privy Council Office for the Canadian government.
What can you do? he asked. Keep the pressure on in terms of appropriations.
Follow-through has to be continual, said Mohawk Council Grand Chief Michael K. Mitchell, such as finding a way for Akwesasne Mohawks who live on the reservation to easily travel the Seaway International Bridge, which connects Ontario with Massena.
Customs officials have broached the topic of a secure pass card for tribal members several times in recent memory without result, he said.
We never heard from them again, he said. The only time you listen is when were protesting. Were tired of that.
While the vast majority of people using the crossing are just trying to get home, commerce is delayed, Mr. Mitchell said.
For your international business, were holding you up, he said.
The focus for border security should be on high-risk traffic rather than all-risk, said Jayson Myers, president and CEO of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters.
This is an issue that affects our economic prosperity. So much of this is common sense, he said. We not only trade things together. We make things together. Business needs to be there to demand the bottom line. Show me where we need to have differences in regulations.
Improving the cross-border experience is also key to promotion of both countries because destinations are shared, said Gary S. DeYoung, executive director of the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council.
Theyre the same brand on both sides of the border, he said. Our first face of the nation is the border personnel. Is that a welcome? I dont think the welcome is at the top of the list. Weve seen improvements. In the last five or six years, those attitudes are a lot better. What peoples perceptions are is a huge issue for tourism.

Thanks to the F/W 11 fashion-show circuit, the past few weeks have been sartorial bliss, and yes, a little crazy too! The awe-inspiring ensembles--both on and off the runways--came out in droves this season, from eye-popping color combos to delightfully quirky accessories, and today marks the final stop of the month-long fashion parade: Paris! The City of Light never disappoints when it comes to stylish attendees, and this season was particularly inspiring. From Leigh Lezark's surprising moment in rouge to Emma Roberts' festive feather-trim dress to Gaia Repossi's refreshing minimalist ensemble, we have the inside scoop on some of the best looks from Paris Fashion Week. So read on for all the details, and don't forget to tweet us your favorite outfits!
WHO: Clemence Poesy
WHAT: Leaving the Chanel F/W 11 show on Tuesday.
WEAR: A ladylike jacket plus a circle skirt equals the perfect Parisian-chic ensemble. Model/actress Clemence Poesy turned up in this delightful combo for the Chanel F/W 11 show, wearing a black and white tweed jacket from the F/W 10 collection and a flowy black mini skirt. A pair of opaque tights and black pumps give her look a perfectly polished finish.
WHO: Florence Welch
WHAT: Arriving at the Chanel F/W 11 show on Tuesday.
WEAR: Florence Welch often goes for a whimsical look, so it was not surprising to see that she selected Chanel's Embroidered and Printed Tulle Jacket with Feather Trim ($10710, 800.550.0005) and Printed Tulle Skirt with Smocked Waist ($3220, 800.550.0005) for the fashion house's F/W 11 show. We love that she opted for the fashion house's bold floral print; the resulting look is perfect for spring.
WHO: Gaia Repossi
WHAT: Spotted front row at the Celine F/W 11 show on Sunday.
WEAR: We love a clean, minimalist ensemble, and Gaia Repossi pulled this look off flawlessly--as she always does--for her appearance at the Celine F/W 11 show. The jewelry designer selected a shirt and slouchy trousers from the Parisian fashion house's S/S 11 collection, and though the silhouette is relaxed, the crisp white color palette makes for a fresh and chic ensemble. .
WHO: Georgia Jagger
WHAT: Snapped at an after-party celebrating her new line for Hudson last Thursday.
WEAR: There are many reasons why we adore Georgia Jagger--like her gorgeous pouty lips and luscious blonde locks, for starters--but her incredibly cool sense of style certainly takes the cake. Thusly, we were more than pleased to find the young model out and about during PFW. In the look above, the blonde bombshell wore a purple strapless top from Gucci's S/S 11 collection with black jeans from her new collection with Hudson. For her beauty look, Jagger went for a bright red lip and tousled hair--very Brigitte Bardot.
WHO: Anna Dello Russo
WHAT: Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the legendary fashion retailer Joyce last Thursday.
WEAR: While we certainly enjoy Anna Dello Russo's outrageous fashion moments, it's not all cherry-adorned hats and boldly striped frocks for this industry insider. The Vogue Japan Editor-at-Large wore Emilio Pucci's Embellished Short Dress ($7595) to a private dinner thrown by Joyce (the legendary retailer) held at the Shangri-La Hotel, demonstrating her ability to look just as noteworthy and memorable in a sober color palette. Though the neutral pick is decidedly tamer than some of her other ensembles this season, the frock's mirror embellishments, intricate beading, and tassel trim speaks to ADR's fashion-forward sensibilities.
WHO: Lily Allen
WHAT: Spotted arriving at the Chanel F/W 11 show on Tuesday.
WEAR: Sometimes a great coat is all you need to create a standout ensemble, as Lily Allen demonstrated at the Chanel F/W 11 show. The songstress kept cozy in a forest green tweed coat from the Pre-Fall 10 collection, which she kept buttoned so it doubled as a dress. Allen punctuated her muted ensemble with a bright red Chanel bag and lipstick, resulting in an excellent between-seasons look.
WHO: Lou Doillon
WHAT: Hanging out at the Vogue Paris party in honor of PFW at the Hotel de Crillon last Wednesday.
WEAR: Lou Doillon looked stylish as always at the Vogue Paris party last week. Demonstrating effortless layering, the French model/muse/actress wore a gray coat over Anthony Vaccarello's Cut-Out Dress ($454) and leather leggings. But that's not to say she didn't show off a little skin! The frock's sheer cutout and deep neckline gave the whole look a lovely hint of sex appeal.
WHO: Natalia Vodianova
WHAT: Spotted outside the Christian Dior F/W 11 show last Friday.
WEAR: Natalia Vodianova always knows how to capture our attention, whether it's on the pages of top-tier fashion magazines or with an effortless off-duty ensemble. Speaking of the latter, the Russian model looked ravishing in an olive green Givenchy dress from the fashion house's Pre-Fall 11 collection. Instead of opting for a chunky bib necklace, Vodianova kept her accessories simple, complimenting the frock's gorgeous draping detail with a long necklace and Christian Dior bag.
WHO: Miranda Kerr
WHAT: Arriving at the Balenciaga F/W 11 show at the Hotel de Crillon last Thursday.
WEAR: We're always excited to see Miranda Kerr's outfits, and were thrilled to spot the Aussie model on the streets of Paris last week. In town to walk in Balenciaga's runway show, Kerr went incognito in a floppy hat worn with a Rick Owens shearling jacket and a Balenciaga tote bag. Kudos to Miranda for donning a super-short mini--from Balenciaga's Pre-Fall 10 collection--just two months after giving birth to her baby boy!
WHO: Leigh Lezark
WHAT: Snapped at the Giambattista Valli F/W 11 show on Monday.
WEAR: Though we usually find Leigh Lezark in all-noir ensembles, it was a surprising treat to find the DJ/model showing off a splash of color for the Giambattista Valli show. Lezark wore a feline-print dress from the fashion house's S/S 11 collection and further accentuated the frock's lively nature with a red coat and t-strap heels, resulting in an eye-catching look we absolutely adore.
WHO: Emma Roberts
WHAT: Photographed outside the Chanel F/W 11 show on Tuesday.
WEAR: Emma Roberts is quite the stylish young lady and today's precious ensemble is certainly proof of that. The darling actress arrived at the Chanel F/W 11 show in the Sky Blue Embroidered Tweed Dress with Feather Trim ($15,465, 800.550.0005) from the fashion house's S/S 11 collection. Roberts finished her look with a white clutch, also by Chanel, and Brian Atwood's Maniac Pumps ($532) in Silver Metallic Patent Leather.
WHO: Natasha Poly
WHAT: Attending the Vogue Paris party in honor of PFW at the Hotel de Crillon last Wednesday.
WEAR: Natasha Poly certainly knows how to turn heads on the runway, but this time all eyes were on the off-duty ensemble she put together for the Vogue Paris party. The leggy model wore a long-sleeve mini from Balmain's F/W 10 collection with peep-toe leather boots by Miu Miu. Poly has a penchant for sporting edgier designers, and the result of this particular outfit is a tough-yet-chic look perfectly suited to Paris' directional fashion scene.--Jessica Baker, with additional reporting by Erin Fitzpatrick

This morning, Darren Dreger tweeted that there is talk that in NHL circles that ranges from potential deals to dectertification which would essentially cancel the season.
Dreger also thinks that the players filing a disclaimer of interest would also cancel the season even though, as Nick Cotsonika points out, that is what pushed the NBA towards making a deal last season.
In response to the NBA argument, Dreger says that the NBAPA filed it's disclaimer earlier in the process and the players agreed to 4 year contracts and 5 year contracts for teams re-signing their own players.
John Shannon says that the two sides will talk today on a conference call about one specific topic.

The hotels in Hong Kong are among the finest in the world. With an unmatched level of excellence, it's no surprise that Hong Kong hotels consistently come up trumps in terms of superb value and high standards. With an infinite number of luxurious 4-star hotels situated close to all major attractions, as well as multitude of superior 5-star hotels bang in the centre of the action, finding convenient accommodation in Hong Kong is always a breeze.
For the uninitiated, visiting Hong Kong is like landing on a very loud, very bright, slightly disorientating planet. Futuristic, strangely silver and utterly fascinating, Hong Kong is an amazing destination with something to offer every type of visitor regardless of budget. As well as providing accommodation at the lower end of the scale, the city is choc-full of chic boutique hotels and opulent romantic hotels. With so many options to choose from, your main challenge will be figuring out where to begin.
At 393 metres above sea level, the Sky100 observation deck is the perfect place to take in panoramic views of the famous city skyline before making your way to Harbour City for some serious shopping.
The Hong Kong Maritime Museum is a great destination for families. Exhibitions, displays and collections illustrate China's maritime evolution from antiquity to modernity. Learn about the scourge of piracy in the South China Seas, or discover the harrowing reality of life on-board a doomed vessel. As major international financial centre, Hong Kong is flush with an infinite amount of high-class business hotels, many of which are located adjacent to Asia World Expo and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The latter is an extraordinary building and is well worth a look if you find yourself wandering down Victoria Harbour way.
Looking for some evening entertainment? Base yourself on the Avenue of Stars opposite Victoria Harbour and catch "The Symphony of Lights". Held every night at eight o'clock, this multimedia extravaganza sees Hong Kong's most prominent buildings lit up in a blaze of lights, lasers and pyrotechnics. Capturing the unique energy and spirit of the city, this event is a major tourist attraction and, best of all, it's free!
If the incessant assault of neon lights is getting too much, head back in time at the Law Uk Folk Museum to catch a glimpse of old Hong Kong. Preserving traditional cultural heritage, this museum gives a real insight into life in the old farming villages and offers a welcome reprieve from the chaos of the city. Finally, greet the rising sun with some Tai Chi in Fa Hui Park before heading to one of the area's many spa hotels for an invigorating traditional Chinese massage – guaranteed to leave you relaxed and refreshed and ready to start all over again!

|ASU Creating Ties To And Awareness Of Life In Uganda
|Written by Christie James
|Thursday, 22 March 2007 02:43
ASU students and faculty have two trips to Uganda scheduled for this summer. ASU Professor Dr. Jacob Matovu is planning a 5-week study trip for students and others that departs July 2nd.
Matovu is a Ugandan native and hopes to introduce 15 students, associates and non-degree seeking participants to his country. The trip includes study at Kyanbogo University, visiting families, Queen Elizabeth National Park, national communications facilities, and cultural activities. The trip has peaked the interest of faculty at East Tennessee State University and Winthrop University who may also attend. This group is hosting a Ugandan Food Day tomorrow from 11am to 2pm to raise funds for their trip. Go by Dougherty Hall, make a donation, and try Ugandan delicacies such as Chicken in Groundnut Stew and Mashed Sweet Potatoes. On a separate trip, psychology student Kelsey D. Smith has organized five students to provide assistance to children in Gulu and Kampala. That group leaves May 18th. Smith was motivated to organize the trip after watching the film "Invisible Children" which documents the Ugandan war and the impact on the nation's children, including kidnapping and forced army service for children as young as five. You can see the film tonight and tomorrow at ASU's Greenbriar Theatre and Friday night at Calloway. Both theatres are on campus. Both screenings are free, and begin at 7pm.

The David J. Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy is one of the nation's most innovative and successful law school public interest programs. Since its inception, the Program has set a high standard for training the next generation of public interest advocates and leaders.
At UCLA Law, students will find a dynamic environment that brings together faculty, administrators, students and alumni to explore critical issues on a local and global scale. The Program curriculum offers an innovative and rigorous approach to legal education that enables students to refine their own career goals while educating and training them to engage in sophisticated representation of traditionally underserved individuals, communities and interests. Program faculty has an unparalleled depth and breadth of knowledge and experience representing a wide cross-section of topics in social justice. They work with Program administrators to counsel, guide and support students and alumni as they pursue impactful public interest careers.
Through its speaker series and other colloquia and symposia, interdisciplinary collaborations and active engagement in the community, the Program helps advance sustainable solutions to some of our society's most pressing challenges.
The Program Specialization strives to provide an innovative and intellectually
ambitious curriculum that trains students to engage in sophisticated
representation of traditionally underrepresented individuals,
communities and interests while utilizing a range of problem-solving
tools. Thus, Program students are required to satisfy the general
requirements for a J.D. degree while also satisfying the Program's
specific curricular requirements.
The Program curriculum is intended both to address fundamental
questions about public interest lawyering that affect all areas of
practice and to allow students to pursue a curricular path tailored to
their individual interests and career goals. The Program curricular
requirements include a first-year seminar, a special section of the
first-year Lawyering Skills course, a second-year "problem
solving" seminar, an additional four advanced courses from a designated
menu of courses, and a writing requirement.
Program students also have ample opportunity to select from the general School of Law curriculum courses that relate to their public interest orientation and goals, as well as to enroll in other academic specializations and pursue joint degrees.
The Program's Definition of "Public Interest"
The Program has consistently defined "public
interest" broadly, as "any and all interests underrepresented by the
private market," including the interests of the poor and ethnic
minorities, unpopular causes "across the political spectrum," and
undervalued stakes in the common good (such as the environment).
Sustaining a Public Interest Commitment
It is well known that many students enroll in law school with the intent
of pursuing a public interest-oriented career, attracted to law by a
desire to help others, improve society and redress injustice.
Unfortunately, only a fraction of those with such intentions actually
fulfill them, a phenomenon that has drawn extensive commentary, as well
as empirical research. Research also points to the importance of
involvement in a supportive subculture during law school in maintaining
student public interest commitment.
For many Program students and alumni, the Program community has been
the singularly most important aspect of their participation in the
Program, as well as the aspect most responsible for sustaining their
public interest commitment. This vibrant and strong community is
comprised of Program faculty and administrators, alumni and, of course, the students themselves.
The Program community is strengthened via three formal mentoring
initiatives – each Program student has an advanced student mentor, a
faculty mentor and a Program alumni mentor. In addition, a sense of
community arises from bonds that develop in the required first- and
second-year courses that are exclusive to Program students, as well as
from the annual slate of initiatives, activities and programming that
bring students together.
The Program continues to be a very close-knit community of committed
faculty, administrators, students and a vital network of alumni who are
joined as colleagues committed to the pursuit and advancement of social
In light of the Program's broad definition of "public interest," it
always has been understood that students admitted to the Program would
evidence significant diversity in their respective career goals, as well
as in their interests. Thus, as envisioned by the faculty who founded
the Program, some students would go on to careers in more traditional
kinds of public interest work – pursuing civil rights litigation,
providing legal services for the poor, or engaging in transactional work
with nonprofit organizations to develop housing or employment
resources. Others would possibly work exclusively in the realm of
politics and policy-making, both inside and outside government. Still
others would start up community-based law practices serving the needs of
specific communities. While others would focus more on educating and
organizing vulnerable communities rather than engaging in more
traditional legal work. And still others would pursue a career in
academia or be appointed to the judiciary.
And so, indeed, the Program alumni – now numbering approximately 400
and constituting fourteen Program classes – are making their mark in
diverse settings – in the nonprofit, government and private sectors, the
judiciary and academia – across the country and abroad. Engaged in
addressing a broad array of social justice issues both domestically and
abroad, our alumni are innovative thinkers, fierce advocates, recipients
of prestigious national fellowships, exceptional leaders and founders
of pioneering organizations, working to reduce poverty and injustice and
to promote democratic values. And, they remain dedicated to and
engaged with the Program.
Following is a sampling of the organizations, agencies and offices with which our alumni are working:
Nonprofit Organizations
Government Agencies & Offices
"Since deciding to attend law school, I have been committed to a
public interest career focused on environmental issues. The Public
Interest Program, which is what drew me to UCLA School of Law, supported
this commitment every step of the way. Because the culture and support
structures of top law schools generally focus on preparing students for
careers with large corporate law firms, the Program's robust support for
a public interest career path is a unique and very important asset.
From the start, the Program gave me access to the experience and
perspective of a wide range of accomplished faculty and alumni focused
on using the law for positive change. Beginning with my 1L year, I also
benefited tremendously from the Program's career counseling and
commitment to helping students seize the best job opportunities to build
experience in our chosen fields. In combination with the School of
Law's excellent course offerings in environmental law, the Program laid
the foundation for a fascinating and rewarding public interest career
focused on the issues that first motivated me to become a lawyer."
Julie Farrell Curtin (Class of 2005)
Director of Legal Services, Vermont Land Trust (Montpelier, Vermont)
"The Public Interest Program is the reason I applied to UCLA School
of Law. When I received my acceptance into the Program, there was no
question where I would go. Having a cohort of dedicated, social justice
minded, experienced and active classmates met my high expectations for
an invigorating and educational law school experience. The commitment of
the Program faculty and staff made my experience truly extraordinary.
From the staff's academic and career counseling to Professor Scott
Cumming's mentorship through the world of community economic
development, and staff and faculty's extremely generous support toward
my fellowship applications, I can cite hundreds of examples of the
support that the Program provided me. I do not think I would be where I
am today in my career without the Program. I now serve as the Director
of Legal Services at the Vermont Land Trust (VLT). Here at VLT we
conserve thousands of acres of Vermont farm and forest land for the
people who live, visit and play in the state. I work on community
projects that protect the special places that define many of Vermont's
towns and cities. We partner with housing organizations to ensure that
the affordable housing needs of Vermonters are addressed and to build a
comprehensive plan for the state's sustainable future. I feel grateful
for the diverse points of view that I was exposed to as a PILPer and
feel that my deeper understanding of social justice issues gained from
my three years in the Program makes me more effective in my career
Natalie Bridgeman Fields (Class of 2002)
Executive Director and Founder, Accountability Counsel (San Francisco, California)
"It was because of its Public Interest Program that I was initially
attracted to UCLA School of Law; it is because of my experience in the
Program that I remain committed to the School today. Among top law
schools, UCLA stood out with its commitment to public interest law,
students and well-designed and implemented Program that supports those
students in law school and beyond. I have had a varied career constantly
applying the knowledge and skills I learned through the Program. My
experience as a student prepared me to work as a lawyer at a large
corporate law firm working on cutting edge and historic human rights
cases through the firm's pro bono program; later as a solo
practitioner taking on some of the most pressing domestic human rights
and corporate accountability issues of our age; as a consultant on
policies of a major European bank where I was tasked with the design and
creation of a system of accountability; and as founder and Executive
Director of an award-winning, internationally-recognized non-profit
organization, Accountability Counsel, that represents client communities
all over the developing world. I often do public speaking about my
career, social entrepreneurship, innovations in law practice and
corporate accountability. I have always been incredibly proud to share
that I am an alumna of the School of Law's Public Interest Program and
am grateful to count my Program alumni peers as some of the most
successful, creative and bright public interest lawyers in their
respective fields."
Francis V. Guzman (Class of 2012)
Soros Justice Advocacy Fellow, National Center for Youth Law (Oakland, California)
"I was drawn to UCLA School of Law because of the David J. Epstein
Program in Public Interest Law and Policy. As a former ward of the state
of California with a history defined by disadvantage and injustice, I
committed my life and career to serving the public interest,
specifically low-income communities, especially children, to ensure they
have the resources, support, and opportunities they need to live
healthy and productive lives. The Public Interest Program offered me a
legally and socially relevant curriculum, taught by experienced and
accomplished administrators and faculty members who possess the
creativity and the will to make a positive difference in the lives of
our most vulnerable citizens.
Furthermore, the Public Interest Program provided me with a premier
legal education in a supportive and nurturing environment, surrounded by
advocates who became my friends and members of my extended family. The
Program community supported me through my personal struggles and
encouraged me to pursue my highest, seemingly unattainable, dreams and
aspirations of becoming an attorney and helping my family and community.
With the help of my Program family and community, I have grown and
developed as a person and a legal advocate and have developed the
knowledge and skills necessary to help others in need.
Ultimately, UCLA School of Law's Public Interest Program taught me to
step outside of the traditional role of attorney and advocate and think
creatively to identify and develop solutions to difficult and
complicated legal and social issues. Using a variety of tools and
strategies in law, policy, education, and organizing, I have now
attained my dreams and have begun to make a positive impact on poor
communities, and especially in the lives of underserved and vulnerable
Michael Marsh (Class of 2004)
Directing Attorney, Salinas Office and Project Director, Agricultural Director Health Project
California Rural Legal Assistance (Salinas, California)
"I knew when I graduated from high school that I would be an
attorney. I didn't know that it would take me more than 20 years to get
there. But it wasn't time wasted. Unlike many, I knew precisely why I
wanted to be an attorney, to assist Spanish-speaking low-wage workers in
California. In large part, I went to law school to acknowledge and
respect the sacrifices of the farmworkers who put food on my plate and
the janitors who cleaned my office long after I was home and in bed.
I only applied to law schools with strong public interest programs
and I was accepted by every school to which I applied. I chose UCLA
School of Law because of the strength of its Public Interest Program. I
believed that the Program would teach me what I needed to learn to be
the most effective attorney possible for working class clients, and I
was not disappointed. The Program was challenging, but the content was
exactly what I expected. It emphasized creative thinking, rebellious
lawyering and client-led advocacy.
Today, every day,I put into practice what the Program taught me. For
as long as I am an attorney, I will be thankful that I was part of the
Public Interest Program and the Program will always be a part of me and
my advocacy."
Thuy Thi Nguyen (Class of 2000)
General Counsel, Peralta Community College District (Oakland, California)
"As a member of the inaugural class of the Public Interest Program, I
am forever grateful to the faculty and staff of the Program for helping
shape my perspectives of the legal profession and the direction of my
legal career. I was not initially accepted into the Program, but found
myself continuing to be drawn to the work Program students were doing
even as 1Ls. They were seemingly a group "set apart" from the rest of
the UCLA School of Law community, with such a strong sense of community
and social justice that I knew I had to reapply. I am so glad I did.
The study of law during 2L and 3L years then had a meaningful
framework for me, part community lawyering and part public policy,
thanks to the Public Interest Program. As a Program class, we
collaborated with the ACLU on the initial stages of the Williams
case – a seminal case in equity financing of K-12 education today. We
worked on an environmental justice case, and learned beyond what any law
book could possibly teach: empathy for our clients, creative legal
thinking, creative non-legal solutions, and the importance of
perseverance. These lessons are incredibly valuable to me as a lawyer
I am now General Counsel for the Peralta Community College District.
My practice involves education law, community relations, public policy,
and legislative affairs. My responsibilities require not only
addressing legal issues and managing litigation, but also initiating new
legislation and developing legal strategies with sensitivity toward the
needs of the larger community.
I am a Vietnamese refugee from East Oakland who was given the
opportunity to serve the community from which I came. I became General
Counsel when I was 28 years old – barely three years out of law school,
and I am grateful that the Program prepared me well for this career in
public service."
Stacey Rolland (Class of 2005)
Senior Policy Advisor, Office of Tax Policy, U.S. Department of the Treasury
"While the incredible curriculum, inspiring faculty and, it goes
without saying, the encouragement and support of the Public Interest
Program staff, made being a student in the Program an experience
valuable beyond measure, I believe it was the Program community that
made my experience so fulfilling and inspiring. It made a profound
impact on me to be surrounded daily by intelligent, creative, caring and
ambitious peers with diverse backgrounds, interests and goals, but all
devoted to working toward a more just and equitable society. It was
empowering to see the many innovative ways we all sought to make the
world a better place on many levels, while challenging each other and
pulling each other up in the process. I was privileged to be a part of
the Program, and I am so proud of the achievements of the entire Program
Paul Seamus Ryan (Class of 2001)
Senior Counsel, The Campaign Legal Center (Washington, D.C.)
"The existence of the Public Interest Program at UCLA School of Law
is precisely why I applied for admission to UCLA. I had decided, years
before applying for admission to law schools, that I would pursue a
public interest legal career specializing in voting rights, campaign
finance reform and other democracy-building aspects of law and policy.
While exploring law schools, I quickly determined that UCLA's Public
Interest Program would be the perfect fit – and it was. I was admitted
to UCLA through the Public Interest Program. The Program provided me
with support and encouragement to pursue the public interest legal
career to which I was committed. The Program provided me with funding to
work at election law-focused nonprofits during both of my law school
summers, which led one of those nonprofits to offer me paid part-time
work during my 3L year and a full-time job upon my graduation from UCLA.
Public interest law jobs are incredibly competitive; the Program
enabled me to get my foot in the door and demonstrate my capabilities at
nonprofits that lacked the resources initially to pay me. Fast forward a
dozen years. I am now Senior Counsel at the Washington, D.C.-based
nonprofit Campaign Legal Center, where I have been employed since 2004.
Driving to my office moments ago, I heard a recorded interview of me on
NPR's All Things Considered discussing an unfolding campaign
finance scandal, and it made me think 'how did I get here?' UCLA School
of Law's Public Interest Program is a big part of how I got here, and I
will forever be grateful."
Laura E. Sanchez (Class of 2004)
Chief Executive Officer, New Mexico Green Chamber of Commerce
"Being the first person in my family to go to college and law school
and the only lawyer in the family, I understand how critical the Public
Interest Program was to my professional development. Program staff,
faculty and alumni have provided me with sound counsel, unwavering
support and encouragement, and a connection to my core values. More
than anything, the Program has given me confidence and community. My
Program community has pushed me when I needed a push and supported me
when I felt otherwise unsupported. The Program gave me the foothold
into legal discourse and consistently challenged me academically and
intellectually. I have grown because of the Program community both as a
professional and as a person, and I am the advocate and leader I am today because of the Program."

Firefighters rescue several from burning 'abandoned' home
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Several people were rescued from what appeared to be an abandoned home Friday morning in Yakima. Crews began battling the fire around 10:00 a.m. on the 400 block of N. 5th Avenue.
Police saw one man running from the home when they arrived. Yakima police picked him up for questioning.
When firefighters arrived they saw a woman in the window and pulled her from the home. She told crews there were two more people inside the home. The woman was also taken in for questioning.
Firefighters found two men unconscious inside the home and brought them out to safety.
Battalion Chief Tom Sevigny of the Yakima Fire Department said they were both in critical condition due to smoke inhalation and heat exposure.
Both have since been transferred to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Officials said the home was boarded up and nobody should have been inside. Those boards made it difficult for crews to battle the fire because the smoke and fire had nowhere to go. Crews were forced to hammer away at the wood covering the windows.
It's unclear if the fire was suspicious. Firefighters formed an arson squad to investigate.
Code enforcement officials said the home has been a problem for the last several years. It's been boarded up for the last two years.

Haru - 12 oz bagDowntown Yirgacheffe sits in a small valley. Up at almost the peaks on either side are the communities and cooperatives of Idido and Haru. We have been buying coffee from both of these places for years, and, even though geographically they're close, they have distinct and impressive profiles. This lot was produced exclusively for us by the Haru cooperative and is distinctly tea-like—brimming with elegant floral notes and lemongrass. Learn more$17.50
Idido - 12 oz bagThis first lot from the Idido cooperative in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, represents a select group of 200 of the most dedicated farmers in the co-op. These farmers turn in their best cherries at the peak of harvest for this washed, special preparation coffee. Look for floral, melon, and citrus notes. Learn more$18.00
Idido Natural Sundried - 12 oz BagA decade ago, an experimental natural-processed coffee from the area surrounding the Idido village changed what we—and much of the coffee industry—have come to expect from Yirgacheffe and natural coffees in general. Ripe cherry selection, a focus on sorting, and better drying techniques have time and time again made natural sundried coffees from the Idido Cooperative our favorite—showcasing notes of strawberry, dried fruit, and bittersweet chocolate.

TORONTO at ISLANDERS, 7:05 pm – Donovan on USADP…Lineups…Gift for Mears…Sens slash prices
Roloson and the Era of the 40-year-old goalies
2:05 pm – Matt Donovan makes Team USA for the World Junior Championships. Quite a feather in the cap for Ryan Jankowski and the scouts who picked the kid from Oklahoma in the fourth round in 2008.
11:40 am – The Islanders did not have a morning skate today. Only injured players (Doug Weight, Tim Jackman) and scratches (Freddy Meyer, Jeff Tambellini) skated. Sean Bergenheim skated before the group on his own. Martin Biron and Rick DiPietro stopped pucks.
Dwayne Roloson starts tonight against the Maple Leafs. I have a story on NHL FanHouse today on Roloson and the many 40-year-old goalies since the lcokout. Prior to the work stoppage, the last 40-year-old goalie was Tony Esposito in 1983.
The Islanders will play the same lineup as Monday. Jackman will have to wait until after Christmas for his return.
While the media waited for his pearls of wisdom and news, Scott Gordon hosted a few player meetings. One was with Matt Moulson. The head coach took Moulson – one goal in his last 9 games but still playing well – through his scoring chances.
Two from Gordon: "There's probably a little bit of a lack of confidence right now, but that will turn around." And "If we keep generating chances, they'll start dropping in."
The likely Maple Leafs lineup tonight:
Ponikarovsky – Stajan – Kessel
Blake – Grabovski – Hagman
Stempniak – Primeau – Kulemin
Wallin – Meyers – Orr
Komisarek – Kaberle
Beauchemin – White
Schenn – Finger (Exelby)
A Very Mearsy Christmas: Wonderful gesture by Penguins radio play-by-play man Mike Lange, who gave up the second period of Pittsburgh-New Jersey on Monday so Steve Mears could take over. Mears, who idolized Lange growing up in Pittsburgh before his first NHL job with the Islanders, got to call 20 minutes of Martin Brodeur's record-setting shutout. Good stuff.
(Almost) a Year Ago: Last Dec. 26, Rick DiPietro made a surprise start for the Islanders against Toronto at the Coliseum. (I remember being in West Virginia visiting my in-laws for Christmas, getting the text message and thinking, "You gotta be kidding me.") DiPietro stopped 28 of 29 shots and had an assist in the 4-1 win. He was No. 2 star, behind Bill Guerin – who scored two goals, including the 400th of his NHL career.
The game on Dec. 26 was DiPietro's last NHL win. He lost a week later in Phoenix, allowing five goals on 29 shots, and has not played a minute in the league since.
Ottawa Reduces Ticket Prices: Congratulations to the Ottawa Senators for recognizing their mistakes and having the guts to fix them for the sake of their business and their fanbase.
Yesterday, the Senators eliminated all "gold" and "silver" tiered pricing for games beginning Jan. 1. The correction will reduce prices for several home games between 20-30%. They have also added Family Pack games, where fans receive four tickets, four hot dogs and four drinks for $99. A week earlier, the Senators announced inititaives to grow their season ticket base.
"The NHL is more competitive than ever. Every game counts towards playoff contention," said Senators owner Eugene Melnyk. "I want our players to benefit fully from the home game advantage. The support, energy and atmosphere that our fans create at Scotiabank Place is vital to our team's success."
Fans who had already purchased tickets for the games where prices have been reduced will receive a refund for the difference in price. (h/t to James Mirtle)

Bought this set to replace a rusted out single piezo horn on my 2002 Tundra that sounded like a mating moose. Now the truck sounds like a truck. Just a nice solid twin tone sound. The mounts were very thin, almost like overglorified plumber strapping, but I was able to re-use the factory mount and a spare piece of aluminum stock and just stuffed them behind the grille of the truck. The fake chrome is kind of tacky, but they're hardly noticable behind my black billet grille. Made the neighbor's rottweilers quit barking and just sit and stare.Well worth the $10 I paid for them.P.S. - the relay in the package is useless. I threw it at my little brother.

My "review"- Who gives a T00T ???
By Turk
from Upper New York State
I give a "T00T"- Now. With my new horn set that I just installed on my golf cart that I use around the property. It's loud enough to let the dogs and farm animals know I'm coming. Not so shrill as to puncture my ear drums.

About Me Professional
I've installed these horns in several of my vehicles, including a BOAT! They install EZ are LOUD and trouble free. The tone is pleasing (for a horn) and loud. Don't care much for the "chrome" housing, but a little flat-black makes them disappear behind the grill nicely.

Far better than OEM
By Jim
from Estacada, ore.
I very rarely use my horn, but when I do I always get an immediate reaction, even as far away as 100 ft at 50 mph people look around as if looking for a big vehicle that is about to hit them. I have had them for over 2 years and they are working just like new.Do not hesitate to buy a set. I have found it much easier to Not use the relay, I just use the factory wiring but reverse the indicated polarity and they work just fine, however you may want to install an inline 10 amp fuse holder between the factory wire and the HFT horns. I have done this on three different vehicles with three different horn assemblies over the last six years and had no problems. Do as you see fit.

Replace your wimpy horn with these!
By Kevin
from N Central Florida
About Me Auto Enthusiast, Mechanic
Really loud, replaced the wimpy stock horn on my Hyundai Accent. Easy to install, didn't need the relay which is included in the package. I didn't use the mounting brackets, as they are really flimsy. I fabricated one out of aluminum bar stock from my local hardware store. These are a really good, inexpensive way to improve the horn sound on your car.

Put gear in lock-down with Lockstraps.
Man, if it ain't tied down, you can pretty well bet your stuff is going to "walk away." Might be your generator at the job site, the table saw off your truck, or even the motorcycle from your trailer. But now there's a way to thwart all but the most audacious and prepared thieves – with LockStraps. At first glance, they look like standard tie downs. But instead of S-hooks, these straps are equipped with a pair of heavy-duty steel 6" combination locking carabiners. Better yet, there's an 8-braided stainless steel cable sandwiched between the double layers of nylon webbing for a dual-protection design that can't be cut by a knife or sliced with a bolt cutter. Heavy-duty pinch clamp lets you adjust the length, with a stopper on the loose end to prevent tampering. Take that, you pilferers and purloiners!

Yorker Brink Films North Face Music Box Films
Several Worlds
February 17, 2010
Ajami Kino International The Last New Yorker Brink Films North Face Music Box Films A Palestinian, Scandar Copti, and an Israeli, Yaron Shani, have co-written, co-directed, and co-edited Ajami. This title is the name of a multi-ethnic district in the city of Jaffa, so it fits the film, not merely in facts but in feeling. Copti and Shani knew what they were doing and why they were doing it. Coincidentally, they prove again that the film medium has made a contribution to social revelation.

Blackwater Creek Bikeway
James River Heritage Trail System
The James River Heritage Trail system in Lynchburg is named for the unique historic connection Lynchburg has with the James River. All of the city-maintained paved trails are part of the James River Heritage Trail system, including trails within the Blackwater Creek Natural Area (BWCNA), along the James River, and within our parks.
Blackwater Creek Bikeway
The Blackwater Creek Bikeway (aka Blackwater Creek Trail) is one of the most fun and popular trails in the city. The trail was built along an abandoned railway bed, which makes it perfect for jogging, walking, or biking. The trail travels through a lovely urban forest, and is intersected at various points with earthen trails that allow visitors to delve deeper into the forested area and enjoy the many plants and wildlife species inhabiting it. The trail has three paved sections, including the Point of Honor Trail, RiverWalk, and the Kemper Station Trail. The Bikeway and Point of Honor sections form a loop trail within the BWCNA, while the RiverWalk and Kemper Station sections are spur trails allowing visitors to access or exit the BWCNA at other points.
Beginning at the Ed Page entrance of the BWCNA, it's about three miles to the entrance to the RiverWalk Trail section of the Bikeway, or approximately 2 miles before reaching the Point of Honor Trail section. Public parking is available at both the Ed Page and East Randolph Place entrances. Restrooms are available at the Ed Page entrance.
Point of Honor Trail/Riverwalk
The Point of Honor trail section is a 1.5 mile spur off of the Bikeway, traveling past the historic Point of Honor home before connecting to the entrance of RiverWalk, and the eastern end of the Bikeway. Point of Honor is a historic home, situated on a point of land in the Daniel's Hill neighborhood overlooking the James River. It is open to the public, and offers seasonal living history demonstrations including cooking, children's games, and period music. RiverWalk travels out of the BWCNA and into downtown Lynchburg and onto Percival's Island, where visitors are surrounded by the sights and sounds of the James River.
The Awareness Garden
The Awareness Garden is also located at the Ed Page entrance. The beautiful garden is a special place for all of those whose lives have been affected by cancer. The garden was funded by the Awareness Garden Foundation. For more information be sure to look at the brochure box located in the garden, or visit their website.
Kemper Station Trail
The Kemper Station Trail section joins the Bikeway near mile marker 2.0 and ends at the Kemper Street Train Station, and connects Midtown to the Blackwater Creek Natural Area and the Bikeway. The Kemper Station trail section was dedicated on March 30, 2006.

Appleton, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team saw their Midwest Conference Tournament drive hit a bump on Wednesday night in a 73-56 loss at Lawrence University. The loss was the third straight in MWC play.
The Vikings jumped out to a 7-2 lead early but Beloit battled back to tie it at 9-all. The back-and-forth first half was tied 20-20 with 4:31 left before LU closed the half on an 8-2 run to lead 30-22 at the break.
Lawrence kept the pressure on out of halftime, pushing their lead to 36-22 less than two minutes. But the Buccaneers responded with a 12-2 run over the next three minutes to pull back into the game. The score was 46-46 midway though the half when the Vikings made the game-deciding run, 14-3 over the next six minutes to grab control. The Bucs never got closer than nine in the final minutes.
Beloit shot just 31% for the game, 26.7% in the first half. Steve McAfee, Jr. led the Bucs with 14 points while grabbing six rebounds. James Lazarcik had 12 points and ten rebounds. Marcus Ford added five assists.
The Buccaneers look to right the ship as they head into the final week of the regular season, beginning with Knox College in Flood Arena on Saturday afternoon. Action begins at 3:00 p.m.

Seafordeagles wrote:At the time Roberts signed his contract it was a steal. I would have blamed Angelos for not extending Roberts. Or if anyone is to blame then blame Roberts for beating himself in the head with a bat. That was the real problem.
If you think the Roberts extension was so ill advised in my opinion you are totally wrong. The ill advised part was beating himself in the head. Angelos did the right thing in signing Roberts who was at the top of his game and was arguably one of the top lead off hitters in the game. The hip has nothing to do with the 2 seasons he lost. The trade offer the Orioles were offered was total crap like you touched on. That was the best offer the Orioles received.

Please reread what I wrote.
Seafordeagles wrote:
Well here's what you wrote and this is what I based "my opinion" on:
Brian Roberts was given an ill advised contract extension because Peter Angelos thought he knew better than competent baseball people. If you want to be angry at anyone I would suggest you focus on him.
I've now reread it 5 times and in my opinion I disagree with your assessment.
He should have been traded during the 2007 and 2008 off seasons for a pile of prospects to fill a completely barren farm system, but Peter Angelos didn't want to give up one of the few attractions he thought would bring in the fans. His meddling prevented us from getting some talent that would have been part of a winning team now. You could also argue that the 28M in salary Roberts earned from 2009 to 2011 (less the 10M his replacement would have cost) could have been used in the draft and international signings when there wasn't any restrictions on the amount a team spent. Just imagine how we could match up with other teams for trades right now if we had just two more Schoops and two more Delmonicos or Bridwells.
Yes, I'm aware that the package that the Cubs were supposedly offering was a bunch of crap, but we'll never really know what a team that needed a 2B at that time would have offered if Roberts had ever REALLY been put on the market. Imagine one more Tillman or Adam Jones in our system at this point.

Apparently, in that frenzy of rereading you missed this:
It CLEARLY provides a counterpoint to why Roberts extension was not a "steal".

OriolesRedskins28 wrote:
I don't think anybody would argue that with you but I think one of the key points is the organization was not in a position to give him an extension at that time. They were (or at least should have been) in full rebuild mode and while prospects are far from sure things, I agree with ofahn that Roberts should have been flipped for prospects at that time because that's what rebuilding teams should do. A rebuilding team shouldn't give a fairly large contract extension to an aging middle infielder that lasts through his age 35 season. That is a recipe for disappointment for any team but especially a rebuilding team who can't really afford such a mistake.

How should my 2XU Tri garments fit?
Your 2XU Triathlon garment should fit snugly and firmly without uncomfortably 'cutting in' to the body. If this is the case, you should review your size choice.
To achieve optimal hydrodynamics in the water and aerodynamics through the air, Suits, Tops and Shorts should be neat against the skin with no excess fabric.
For upper body garments, a free range of movement in the shoulders is essential, as is comfort in the underarms. For the lower body, silicone grip hems should ensure the garment stays in place, without causing discomfort.
Before training or racing, always ensure your zips are secure.
For specific sizing, please refer to our Size Chart below. You will also find some helpful fit-related information in the FAQ section of the website.
