Study Aids in Law School
Study aids are materials other than your casebook that help explain the law. Most professors' take is to read the casebook, brief the cases, attend class (listen, take notes, answer and ask questions), and consult with your professors when you need further clarification. If you've done all that and still do not understand the material, you may decide to turn to a study aid. Study aids are not a substitute for doing the hard work yourself because working with the material, even when it is difficult, is essential to understanding. Moreover, students often mistakenly believe that a generic brief, outline, or analysis reflects their professor's prospective of the law. Keep in mind that different professors look at different aspects of a subject - even their choice of language can be different from the commercial aids.
On the other hand, reading a study aid may be all that's needed to pull together all of the work you've done. It can be like the proverbial light bulb going on in your head after you've read someone else's explanation of the material. Study aids can be especially useful to double-check your understanding of the material as you prepare your course outlines. The types of books that you can buy run from stripped down flowcharts and outlines to huge treatises. Between hornbooks and commercial outlines, there is another category of study aids that offer explanations of the law, but in less detail than a hornbook. Overall, these aids cover every traditional first year course and many upper level courses as well. Today, I want to cover the most common.
Hornbooks are the top of most professors' acceptable list. The good news is that they can provide you with useful background for your reading assignments for class. You will then have a context for your reading, so you can see how the case you are reading fits into the big picture. Specifically, hornbooks are treatises in a particular area of law. Prosser and Keeton, and also Dobbs on Tort; Calamari and Perillo on Contracts; Stoebuck/Whitman and Hovenkamp, and Kurtz on Property are all examples of hornbooks. These books explain the legal concepts and black letter law in the way a non-fiction book or textbook would. Hornbooks are more like your undergraduate books, except more scholarly and detailed. While commercial outlines cover many of the same concepts, they don't cover them in great detail. A hornbook can go into depth by explaining the reasoning behind a series of cases. They can also take you through the legal synthesis process to explain how a group of cases may fit together. Do remember, however, that the hornbook author tells you what the law is, unlike the perfect classroom discussion. It does not the Socratic method.
Hornbooks can also help when you create course outlines. When you're outlining, if you don't understand the concepts from the casebook and class notes, read the appropriate section in the hornbook, and see if you then understand enough to outline. The hornbooks discuss cases, so you probably will see an explanation of many of the cases in your casebook. The hornbook might just discuss the cases in a way that you understand.
Downside: they are big and long and expensive. Don't automatically purchase hornbooks, because the cost can be prohibitive. Use the library's copies for specific problem areas or to give you some assistance with your outlining. But this is a source - do not think you are going to read an entire hornbook. A more affordable paperback version is the Understanding series, published by Lexis Publishing is a good alternative if you find yourself utilizing this type of study aid. As with the treatises (although more limited) this series explains the law of a subject area in a narrative format.
A mini version of these, some say, is the Nutshell series (West Publishing Company), little books that explain the law in a condensed format. Their size--5" x 7"--may make them seem more palatable and less intimidating. Many of them give you just enough law so that you have a clear understanding of course rules, concepts and policy. The bad side of Nutshells is that this series is generally not favored by professors, has few topic headings, and sacrifices a lot of significant detail to fit in the small size. Therefore, "because" and "how," keys to exam writing, may not be extensively discussed in this series. But if you just need the basic stuff - look there. These books are also good to read if you haven't taken a specific bar course and want to review the general law before you begin taking a bar review course.
Narrative study guides
Similar books (although not in size) come under such series titles as Examples and Explanations (Aspen Law & Business), the Inside series (Wolter Kluwer/Aspen), the Mastering series (Carolina Academic Press), and Concepts and Insights (Foundation Press). These series use primarily narrative explanations of various areas of the law. The Inside and Mastering series is new, and therefore not as popular as the Examples and Explanation series. The Inside series contains a narrative explanation as well as some strategies on how to answer questions in a particular area. It also has some good notation regarding the connection of each topic to the entire area of law. The Mastering series is great for visual learners, because it also has charts to demonstrate some of the material. The Examples and Explanations series also contains fact pattern examples of different areas of the law, questions about those facts, and detailed explanations as answers to the questions. This series is rated high with professors and students. In fact some of your professors may have suggested you use them as "suggested" text.
All of these books are more thorough that the standard outline type of book. With respect to Examples and Explanations, the series provides detailed analysis more comprehensive than outlines - and because it isn't as dense as hornbooks - they are easier to follow. But, the big plus of Examples and Explanations is that they give questions - and then explain the answers. You can use this book as a good source of hypos b/f your exam - or as a source for a discussion group with fellow classmates. Because most essay exams ask questions based on facts, these books can help you determine if you know rules and can apply the rules to this new information in a meaningful way.
A significant down side is that these explanations and examples may not reflect your professor's take. Likewise, your professor may use different language when referring to the legal concepts: it would be unimpressive that you refer to a key topic with lingo your professor doesn't use. Moreover, don't ever think that you will do great solely based on how you do in Examples and Explanations or the Inside series.
Commercial Outlines
Almost every student uses a commercial outline at one time. Commercial outlines can be very helpful in laying out the black-letter law and giving you rules to memorize, if that is what you are looking for. Some outlines are geared towards certain casebooks, so some students find those particularly helpful. The problem with commercial outlines is that some students use them in place of reading and working with the material on their own. These outlines are intended to supplement your work, not replace it.
What kinds are there? Well, the two that are best known are Gilberts and Emanuel on about every subject imaginable. From an article I read regarding study aids, it appeared that Emanuel was considered a better source - probably because it has more than simply the black letter law. In fact, in response to these "examples" books, it appears that many of the outline study aids have added study tips, exam hints, and some questions. Other outline book include Crunchtime (Emanuel), which has capsule summaries, flowcharts, exam tips and sample questions, Black Letter (Thomson/West), which includes some examples and analysis, and Law Outlines (Casenotes), which contains capsule and complete outlines and limited exam questions.
Overall, commercial outlines can help you get the big picture if you are lost in details. Some students just need a boost and this can give it to you. While a good syllabus and table of contents of the book may be valuable, these outlines can help you separate the details from the main ideas and concepts. These outlines are also good to make sure that you did not miss anything big, assuming that the professor covers it. Rather than spinning your wheels or not having any sense of outlining - check one out. Remember, however, even if you know the black letter law from a commercial outline, you still need to take the next step and learn how and when to apply it to new factual situations. That's how you really learn legal analysis.
CALI is short for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction. These are interactive computer exercises and questions that test your knowledge of the material and help improve your test-taking skills. The CALI lessons provide interactive exercises in which you enter responses to questions based on fact patterns and receive an instantaneous evaluation of your answer and prompts to guide you to the "right" answer. You learn the law and how to apply the law to a body of facts--the key to doing well on exams. Some of the CALIs are mini-tutorials on a particular subject. Most CALIs tell you how long it should take to complete the exercises, and they range anywhere from 10 minutes to one hour. You should have received one when you started law school. If not, check with the library. So, if you have difficulty understanding a section of the course, CALI can help walk you through the basic law.
Canned Briefs
Now we get to the Cliff's Notes of law school casebooks: the canned briefs. The two big ones are Legalines and Casenotes: Legal Briefs. Of all the comments I received from the professors - there was a universal opinion regarding canned briefs. It was: DON'T USE THEM!!!
Seriously, you need to read the assigned cases. Canned briefs can't be used as a substitute for reading the cases in preparation for class. Note only is this book the kind of study aid frowned on by faculty, there are essential truths that you need to recognize: they aren't very good and critical case reading is an essential legal skill. You won't have canned briefs in practice (or LRW) so you need to learn the process.
Regarding their use, common wisdom says that you can get the first one or two questions answered from the professor - but any subsequent hypo or in-depth question won't work when the "analysis" consists of two sentences.
Miscellaneous (Flashcards. Tapes. etc.)
Flashcards are sometimes helpful for students. While it might be better to create your own, some sections of the law tend to lend themselves as flashcards. Flashcards are also useful if you need to learn a lot of information and need to review for details. Students can also practice short hypotheticals to test their knowledge and to get acquainted with the kinds of facts that will raise a particular issue. If you like this sort of first step before hitting the longer essay questions, do yourself a favor and write out the answers - don't just talk them out. Remember it is in the explanation of why you decided as you did that you can get lots of points. Look to use flashcards when there is certain language or facts which trigger a legal theory; this is when flashcards are helpful to chunk all that material together.
Tapes are great for the oral learner - particularly if you drive solo a long way. However, if you either 1) start and stop the tape at random points (again, you need to cover a section to make sense) or 2) you don't learn well with just the spoken tapes will not prove very valuable. A better choice might be a discussion group where a group of students get together to "talk it out." Again, depends on the students.
Exam Prep Books
Students who do well in law school general practice sample questions prior to their exams. In this category, there are four different series which present various questions and answers in particular courses. They are the Exam Pro series, Siegel's, Q & As, and Finals. Some of them announce the issue and thus are more helpful in understanding the area you are currently studying. Others are multi-issued questions, so issue -spotting is part of the process. Some are essay questions; others have multiple choice questions. And while the best way to practice is to use your own professor's exams with model or sample answers, students do not always have that advantage. No matter what, students should practice both during the semester and in preparation for the exams.
Final Thoughts
Too many study aids can be overwhelming. If you try to use too many, you will be adding to your workload, with little likelihood of getting much additional useful information. You will also be spending too much money, because study aids can be expensive. So pick only when you need it, and choose wisely.
Another point to remember is that outlines and such can help with learning black letter law - but you also need to learn recognize issues and to apply these rules. During exams many questions do not have directives identifying the issues to be discussed. So get your outline in reasonable order sufficiently early in the semester so that you can practice answering hypothetical questions, preferable the professor's old exams. Don't forget to write out the analysis because it is a great way to learn the fundamentals of the law, as well as how to properly analyze and apply those rules of law.
All of these steps are parts of learning to become a lawyer. So, read cases, synthesize, outline, study, and practice: but make sure you do it in a timely fashion and don't rely on a last-minute "magic" book. And to paraphrase one professor - sometimes the best study aid is junk food and candy bars! So use what works - just remember that there is no substitution for using legal analysis to process the cases and class discussion into legal rules, outlines and an exam strategy.

Submission EPIC Files Motion About Ignored Body Scanner Ruling->
OverTheGeicoE writes: The Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a motion in court yesterday regarding the court's ignored year-old ruling on EPIC vs. DHS. EPIC is asking the court to require DHS to start taking public comment within 60 days or, as an alternative, forbid DHS from using body scanners in primary airport screening altogether. If the court orders the latter, that would give EPIC what it originally sought in its lawsuit. Meanwhile, for what it's worth, the related petition on whitehouse.gov has a little more than half the signatures it needs to get an official 'response.' The signing period ends on August 9.

Hello guys,
I'm Eric from just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. I'm married and have two little daughters. I grew up a cat person, but thought a dog would make for a masculine pet in a home full of girls. Of course, my dog is a girl too though.
We adopted Piper from the humane society. I don't know about other areas, but the HS out here is filled to the brim with pit bulls. Piper was a three month old brindle pit with lab listed as the secondary breed. She is a wonderful dog. Super friendly, but a little clumsy.
As I said earlier, I'm fairly inexperienced with dogs as a whole, but I've been learning a lot. I did some research on pitbulls before adopting Piper. My experience with Piper has been exactly what the pro pit websites had described and thankfully nothing like the anti pitbull websites described.
Right now Piper is house trained and I've decided to start trying some obedience training. I'll probably sign her up for classes to show me the ropes.

Designed for automatic operation only, the 220EX Flash Unit excels at providing natural-looking balanced flash exposures. When attached to the EOS IX, EOS Elan II/Elan IIe/IIe, or EOS Rebel G, the 220EX incorporates the superior technology of Canon's unique E-TTL evaluative pre-stored flash exposure control system, FE Lock for a new dimension of creative control and FP Flash(High Speed Sync) for flash photography up to maximum shutter speed. When used with other EOS cameras, or the T90, it operates as a TTL autoflash (off-the-film flash metering).
When in E-TTL operation, flash exposure is measured and controlled by the camera in combination with Canon's AIM system. Subject position, ambient light level, evaluative metering and pre-flash data are instantly analyzed, including heavy backlighting or reflections from background windows or mirrors.
Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. Actual prices are determined by individual dealers and may vary.

Bart van Ark
Chief Economist
The Conference Board
November 2014
Barring major geopolitical upheaval, global economic growth will hold at 3.4 percent in 2015. In this issue of StraightTalk, The Conference Board Chief Economist Bart van Ark looks at the long-term business implications of the slowing growth trend that is ahead of us. Downsides to the outlook relate to intensifying political and economic risks; upsides relate to the ability of policy and business to invest in people, raise productivity, and rebuild public trust and confidence.
Connect with our experts, your peers, and more thought leadership on this topic.
StraightTalk is a quarterly publication from the Chief Economist of The Conference Board. It provides economic research, objective analysis, and forecasts to help new economy business executives assess economic conditions impacting their markets.

LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Surviving a childhood of physical abuse, Governor LePage has made domestic violence awareness and prevention of his most important causes.
He spoke about the issue to students at Lewiston High School Tuesday afternoon.
"It leaves awful scars," said Gov. LePage to a gymnasium of students. "I am retirement age, and I've not forgotten it. It's like it happened yesterday."
While victims advocates say the Governor's support has heightened domestic violence awareness in Maine, some in the nonprofit sector worry what sequestration cuts could do to their services.
"I feel uncertain," said Jane Morrison, Executive Director of Safe Voices in Lewiston.
She estimates Safe Voices, a domestic violence services nonprofit in Lewiston, could lose around $30 thousand dollars of its $1.3 million budget due to sequestration.
Morrison said many nonprofits are in similar situations, with grant money being cut at the federal and state level.
"Hook or crook, we've got to get through this, because there are too many people depending on us, and we've got to be there for them."
Morrison said she's not sure how sequestration will impact her staff of 22, but she hopes future fundraisers will help.
Safe Voices is planning a domestic violence walk in Lewiston on June 15. For more information, visit the Safe Voices website.

NEWPORT, VT - North Country Career Center students, Edy Bedard and Melody Davis, participated in the annual Rotary Duck Regatta. They applied marketing skills in designing and creating the 2'x2' display featuring "A DECA Duck."
The Duck Regatta event was a great opportunity to participate in community outreach, to network with other businesses and to present the display at the special Eastside Duck Party. his project, a three-week activity, was awarded a second place entry with the proceeds being applied to the student's activity account, which provides financial assistance for DECA conferences.
Edy and Melody were overheard at the duck party to say, "This was quacktastic!" Special thanks go to Dan Ross, Tech. Ed.; Roger Wells, Welding Design & Fabrication; Ron Paula, CAD and Lydia Alexander, Marketing, whose help, assistance and building expertise made the Deca Duck happen.

Would a funnel help.
"(drinking from a bottle where my urin just spend 6 hours inside is really not for me)"It wouldn't be for me either...if I were using a plastic bottle. Unlike stainless, plastic has a way of retaining flavors and odors. Urine flavored and scented water. Meh....no thanks.
Sawyer's got the answer! At least for us guys.I'm going to get one of their New! Revolutionary! Fast-Fill adapters. I'm going to have it surgically implanted in my johnson. If I have to pee in the middle of the night, no problem! I just remove the 'head,' attach the plastic tubing I've preset that runs out of the shelter, do my business, then remove the hose and reattach my normal bits.What could be easier!?! Sawyer thought they were revolutionizing hydration, but they're actually revolutionizing the midnight pee break!
And if you're interested doug I can get you a couple. Just insert the tubing, attach to the sawyer, and there you go!! You can leave those things in for weeks at a time (but watch for infection!)...a real hydration "bladder" that you can use while hiking...no need to ever stop!Now THAT'S UL!!!!
Edited by Jenmitol on 03/09/2013 10:50:27 MST.
I hear the insertion process is rather painful and if you do it wrong and miss channels you get to know pain very, very intimately for quite some time (and probably miss out on any kids if that is in general still an option). No surgery required though. All necessary holes are there. If you want new holes you can pierce directly into the bladder through the stomach. Not something I would want but YMMV :)
No no, Jennifer, not a catheter. You must not have seen the video of the new Sawyer fast-fill adapters.See here: http://vimeo.com/60845892#
bit of drift:Was that the 'revolutionary' system they introduced?...sorta like what I was doing last year with my Frontier Pro and Platy? Doug maybe you could get a 'hydration port' installed in your sleeping bag. At the appropriate height, of course.(right around the knees, right?)
How about dont drink anything after 5 pm, and pee immediately before go to bed?Depends on the size of ones prostate I guess.
>How about dont drink anything after 5 pm, and pee immediately before go to bed?Keeping well hydrated will help keep you warmer at night. It does have the drawback of possibly having to pee during the night though.
"How about dont drink anything after 5 pm, and pee immediately before go to bed?"Still makes me want to pee in the morning. And until I've crawled out of the sleeping bag in winter, put on more clothes and those darn ski boots, opened the tent, crawled out of that, ran to a tree, undid all the clothes again ... it's too late. Yes, been there, done that. Wasn't pretty and I'm not proud of it.
A little heavy but it has a wide mouth so you don't miss.
Get outta bed and go. Unless it is pouring, I would be outside. But I dare you to stand under a full moon with frost on the brush all around and NOT look over your shoulder during the process. So, so ..... vulnerable. I rarely if ever need to answer nature's call during the night, at home or otherwise.
Edited by dwambaugh on 03/09/2013 20:20:35 MST.
I get out of my bag and kneel at the door and pee in to a bottle in the porch.
I tried a platy. No fun. Gotta concentrate way too hard. Kneeling in a tent, on a pad, pants down, et al makes it too hard....and you never know when you're gonna get that sideways stream.
"Kneeling in a tent, on a pad, pants down, et al makes it too hard."Must .............. resist ............... responding .............
I grew up around dairy farms...never tried this but might be an easy way to hook up a hose? Just sayin,
Kneeling in a tent, on a pad, pants down, et al makes it too hard."Must .............. resist ............... responding .............I just open my fly mate :-)
Bwaaa haahaaarghh missed that one!!!You can never change that avatar!
The real reason Doug cant pee in a bottle://
That's one big c*ck.

Submission Judge okays iPhone class action->
crimeandpunishment writes: It looks like lawyers for Apple and AT&T will be spending a lot of time together. A federal judge says a lawsuit against the two companies claiming monopoly abuse over the iPhone can proceed as a class action. The case centers on Apple "locking" iPhones so they can only be used on AT&T's network. The class includes anyone who bought an iPhone with a two-year AT&T agreement since June 2007.

Summer can be a deadly time of year for children. With warmer temperatures on the way, health experts are pleading with parents to be especially careful with their children in and around cars.
"Keep your children safe by not leaving them alone in or around a car," said Christi Fisher, Director of Safe Kids Utah.
Utah is one of 19 states with laws addressing unattended children in cars. Senate Bill 124 makes it a class C misdemeanor to intentionally, recklessly, knowingly, or with criminal negligence leave a child under nine years of age in an enclosed compartment of a motor vehicle.
"The Utah sun can quickly turn a car into a deadly oven, even on a cool day. On a 78 degree day, temperatures inside a car can climb to 100 degrees in just three minutes. After six to eight minutes, the temperature can reach over 125 degrees," said Fisher.
Health officials also urge drivers to "Spot the Tot" and use extra caution when children are around vehicles. On average, four children under the age of 10 are killed and another 60 are injured each year after being hit or run over in a driveway.
"Many of these deaths could have been prevented if drivers had been more careful to 'Spot the Tot,' said Janet Brooks, Child Advocacy Manager at Primary Children's Medical Center.
Georgina Nowak, Health Educator for Southeastern Utah District Health Department suggests everyone follow these tips to protect your little ones this summer:
*Never leave a child alone in a car, even with the windows down. Leaving a window slightly open has no effect on the temperature in the vehicle. To view a reenactment of a car heating up, go to www.ggweather.com/heat/index.htm.
*Dial 911 immediately if you see an unattended child in a car.
*Create reminders. Place a cell phone, purse, gym bag or something that is needed at your next stop on the floor in front of a child in a backseat. This will help you see your child when you open the door and reach for your belongings.
*Lock all car doors and trunks - even at home or in the garage.
*Teach children to not play in or around cars.
*Check vehicles and trunks first if a child is missing.
*Establish a plan with your child care provider that if your child fails to arrive within an agreed upon time that you will be called right away. Be especially mindful of your child if you change your routine for child care.
*Watch children closely, especially when loading and unloading the vehicle.
*Always secure children properly in child safety seats or booster seats in the back seat.
*Always check completely around any vehicle before pulling or backing out.
Parents and caregivers are invited to attend free car seat checks and safety fairs being held by Safe Kids Coalitions and local health departments across the state during May. To find an event near you or to learn more about keeping your child safe in and around cars, visit www.safekidsutah.org.

Published: 07 June 2011
easyJet announces that its new Flexi fare is available to all via easyJet.com from today.
The tickets will give passengers unlimited flexibility to change the date of their flights up to two hours before the scheduled departure time. Passengers booking an easyJet flexi fare will also benefit from automatic speedy boarding, no booking fees and a checked in hold bag included at no extra cost
The new Flexi fares were initially available only through business booking channels, including Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and self booking tools used by business travel companies. Making Flexi fares available through easyJet.com, one of the UK's top ten most popular websites*, opens the fare to the 325 million people who visit easyJet.com each year.
Passengers can make unlimited date changes within a four week time window - one week before and up to three weeks after the original booked travel date..
The easyJet Flexi fares will stay true to easyJet's commitment to low fares with fares starting at £99, far cheaper than those offered by the legacy carriers.
Carolyn McCall, easyJet CEO said: "We have seen a growing trend of business travellers choosing to fly easyJet. It's easy to see why - easyJet has the best European network, we fly to main airports, and maintain low fares for passengers. By allowing business travellers to book flexible fares on easyJet.com we will ensure that they are always getting the best available price with the flexibility they need."
The addition of easyJet Flexi to easyJet.com will be supported with a substantial marketing campaign launching later this week in both the UK and across Europe. The campaign focuses on leading business publications and media channels and will communicate the message that easyJet has made a significant new product change to cater to the needs of business travellers.

The Hawk Is Dying
George Gattling is a man who is a little out of place in the world and a little out of place in his own skin. George's salvation is his autistic nephew Fred, whom George has raised like a son. Together they dream of capturing and taming the most majestic creature in the world--a wild hawk. It is an ancient art that requires precision and extremes--for it is only through practically killing yourself and the bird are you brought together. When Fred is killed in a freak accident, George is more determined than ever to tame a hawk as a tribute to Fred and as a way to work through his own grief. However, to the rest of the world, it appears George has gone mad. It is Betty, a young college student, who is the only one who comes to understand George and his need to take himself to the bottom in order to really be saved.

Before the Carbon girl's basketball team even left town, Coach Cami Carlson knew that this tournament was going to be a tough one. Her prediction proved to be true as the Lady Dinos went 1-2 against some very good Colorado teams. They dropped their first one on Thursday 40-27 to Grand Junction. On Friday they beat tournament host Fruita 44-36. They finished up with a 71-40 loss to Thunder Ridge on Saturday.
If the Dinos used only their second half play, they would have finished 2-1 and only lost the final game by three points. But in basketball, you have to play all four quarters and the Dinos struggled in the first half in both of the losses.
Against Grand Junction they hit four points in each of the first two quarters, while the Warriors scored 25. Carbon outscored GJ 19-15 in the second half, but the first half deficit was too big.
Amanda Freestone pulled in seven boards for the team while Tia Pappas scored 10, grabbed 10 steals and five rebounds.
The Dinos got behind by three points in the first quarter, but this time kicked it in the second quarter and headed to the locker room tied. They came out from the break and went on a 12-2 run in the third to put the game away. They cruised to the win in the fourth. Kristen Jewkes had the top scoring honors with 12 including a pair of threes. Miranda Averett added 11 points and seven rebounds. Sara Potts also had seven boards. Pappas had nine points, five assists and four steals.
In the final game,Thunder Ridge had their way with the Dinos in the first half out scoring them 43-11. The Dino stepped up their play in the second half, but just like the first game of the tournament, the first half hole hurt the effort. Pappas led the way for Carbon with 14 and Averett added 11.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Adaobi Kanu grew up in the Bronx, NY and spent much of her youth in Nigeria. She later attended a Pennsylvania high school that was supportive of all sexual orientations. Adaobi received her Bachelor's degree from Bryn Mawr College, with a double major in Physics and Dance, and she is currently an MBA candidate at Columbia Business School focusing on social enterprise, marketing, and operations.Upon beginning her career in art and homeless outreach services, Adaobi learned of the disproportionate number of LGBTQ people who relied on shelter services or lived in the streets. After hearing from countless LGBTQ homeless adults that their experience with homeless began with LGBTQ oppression in their teenage years, Adaobi was inspired to become an avid supporter of LGBTQ youth and homeless communities. She soon began helping LGBTQ teens and their allies create inclusive school environments that would help LGBTQ youth feel safer. In this work, Adaobi educated more than 1,600 students on ways to support LGBTQ justice. Along the way she met LGBTQ teens who had been kicked out of their homes due to familial homophobia, or could see the future in homelessness ahead of them, and wanted to do more to support homeless LGBTQ teens.Adaobi founded and currently runs a nonprofit called Art in Motion, an arts organization that serves homeless teens and young adults. Art in Motion's goal is to use art as a medium to give young people the personal development and educational tools that will help them stay out of homelessness. Through specialized partnerships with local high school Gay-Straight Alliances and LGBTQ youth homeless shelters, Adaobi and Art in Motion have empowered hundreds of LGBTQ teens to embark on a journey to confidently pursue their dreams. Adaobi is planning on using the skills she is acquiring in the pursuit of her MBA, to focus on tactics for creating systemic and sustainable change for LGBTQ youth and other disenfranchised communities.

Only a few decades ago, the direction ones life would go was determined by ones gender. Men were expected to pursue a career, while women were expected to take care of home and family. Both genders missed out on a the other slice of life. Men missed out on the pleasures of rocking their baby boy to sleep, or helping their daughter with her homework, while women missed out on the boost of self esteem experienced when giving a presentation to a room full of people, or simply getting a thumbs up from the boss for a job well done.
But now, in today's fast paced world, the evolution of both technology and of the thinking of mankind have made it possible for both genders to go for the whole package- a chance to balance home and family.
Yet, with taking on more comes a whole lot more personal stress and neglect of our own weight and overall health. How should one manage it? Stephanie Benefits, an RN at Primary Children's Hospital Neonatal unit in Salt Lake says "It's about being present where you are. When you are at home, be at home with your family and leave work at work. Don't take it home with you. When you are at work, be at work."
But in order to do this, make sure you have a good support system so that you are prepared for emergencies that may come up at home while you are at work. Think ahead.
Are you stressed about your appearance? Consider making a new dieting action plan this spring. The US News recently listed the best weight loss diets for 2015.
What are you going to do about that teacher appreciation day when the kids are at home but your scheduled to work? What are you going to do when your baby gets sick and the daycare or babysitter wont take her? Planning ahead will save you a great deal of personal stress when the crisis time comes.
Other tips for striking a balance between work and family include:
- Exercise: Exercise is well known as a way to keep ones mind and body healthy. People who exercise get sick less often and are better able to manage stress and anxiety. There are all kinds of unexpected benefits like a boost in memory as well. If it sounds like too much to take on all at once, consider by starting small. Park farther away from the entrance when going somewhere or take the elevator instead of the stairs, and build up from there.
- Prioritize: While managing a career and a family, there will always be things that one would like to get to, but simply can't. Prioritize what matters, and work on those things first.
- Delegate the rest. Last but not least,
- Have a good support system in place.
Achieving balance in one's home life and ones work life is a constant teeter totter act, and is a work in progress. Using these steps can work as a guideline for getting and staying on track so one can manage the personal stress of having it all.

With healthcare costs continually on the rise — a situation compounded by ObamaCare's new taxes and regulations — employers are looking for every means possible to keep those costs down. The healthcare law requires them to offer coverage to all full-time employees and their dependent children aged 25 and younger. The one person whose coverage it does not mandate, however, is the employee's spouse; spousal coverage, therefore, is increasingly on employers' chopping blocks.
According to MarketWatch, since the passage of ObamaCare, companies have instituted various measures designed to discourage, if not outright exclude, individuals from obtaining health coverage via their spouses' employers. "Such exclusions barely existed three years ago, but experts expect an increasing number of employers to adopt them," reports Jen Wieczner.
"These 'spousal carve-outs,' or 'working spouse provisions,' generally prohibit only people who could get coverage through their own job from enrolling in their spouse's plan," Wieczner writes.
These provisions, which human resources firm Mercer says have already been adopted by about one-fifth of companies, take a variety of forms. Most companies simply charge extra for working spouses — $100 a month, on average. Others add such high surcharges or reimburse such a small percentage of healthcare expenses that spousal coverage becomes unaffordable. Still others flatly prohibit working-spouse coverage: Mercer claims that six percent of large employers and four percent of very large employers (20,000 or more employees) excluded spouses in 2012, up from five percent and two percent, respectively, in 2010.

CANTON In his third court appearance in two weeks, the Oswegatchie man accused of participating in several June 2012 burglaries complied with a plea deal in St. Lawrence County Court on Wednesday that kept him from heading to trial.
Robert L. McGuinness, 33, of 10 Browns Falls Road, pleaded guilty to the class D violent felony of second-degree attempted burglary for his participation in a June 17, 2012, theft in the town of Clifton.
Mr. McGuinness told County Judge Jerome J. Richards, under oath, that he and codefendant Cody J. Tennant, then 20, went to the residence of James A. Allen, where Mr. Tennant allegedly stole shop lights.
Mr. McGuinness said he provided the vehicle that took them to and from the residence with the knowledge that a theft was going to take place. Mr. Tennant died in a car crash in September in Canton.
The guilty plea comes as a part of a revised agreement reached May 2 between Mr. McGuinnesss attorney,
Public Defender Stephen D. Button, and Assistant District Attorney Joshua HaberkornHalm, requiring Mr. McGuinness to withdraw two motions filed with the court seeking dismissals of his case and to plead to the reduced second count of the indictment that charged him with two counts of second-degree burglary.
At sentencing, Mr. McGuinness is expected to be placed on five years probation and will have to undergo a mental health evaluation and comply with any suggestions made, including prescriptions for mental health medications.
The plea deal also will satisfy a Superior Court Information charge of two counts of third-degree burglary, a 2012 Superior Court Information charge of a third count of third-degree burglary and a pending charge of criminal possession of stolen property out of Fine Town Court.
During appearances April 23 and May 2, Mr. McGuinness was expected, but failed, to comply with an original plea deal, refusing to admit his participation in the alleged crimes. He claimed he was unaware of what was going on during the thefts, that he was not taking his mental health medications and that he was taken advantage of. Judge Richards, on both occasions, returned Mr. McGuinness to St. Lawrence County jail and told him he was headed to trial.
Following Mr. McGuinnesss plea Wednesday, Mr. Button said he spoke with his client after his May 2 meeting with Mr. HaberkornHalm and said the deal was better than the one previously agreed upon.
I recommended this agreement to my client because I believe it is in his best interest, Mr. Button said. He had previously given a two-page confession to all of the charges against him.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 21 and Mr. McGuinness was returned to St. Lawrence County jail pending approval of a suitable residence by probation officials.

Posted on June 20, 2014Roadrunner Records group Heartist has announced details of their eagerly awaited debut album. "FEEDING FICTION" - the explosive first full-length release from the Southern California group - arrives on August 11.
Produced by David Bendeth (Paramore, Of Mice & Men, Bring Me The Horizon), "FEEDING FICTION" is available now for pre-order on the iTunes Store, with all pre-orders receiving instant downloads of the powerful new tracks, "Skeletons," "Pressure Point" and "Black Cloud." Special merch bundles are also available at Heartist's Official Webstore.
Known for their energetic and engaging live performances, Heartist are currently prepping for a major North American tour in support of Set It Off and Our Last Night's "Come Alive Tour." The multi-artist trek is set to get underway July 11th at Murray Hill Theater in Jacksonville, FL then continue through mid-August (see attached itinerary).
Equal parts anthemic grandeur, brawny metalcore-infused heaviness, and chorus-driven radio rock nirvana, "FEEDING FICTION" is Heartist at their absolute best. With each song boasting a towering chorus that demands to be unleashed in arenas and stadiums, it is rich with hooks and chunky riffs, and vocalist Bryce Beckley's candid lyrics and soaring vocals aim to bring real, honest emotion back into heavy music.
"We started this band because we looked around and everything seemed stagnant, everyone just seemed to be doing the same thing, and I haven't heard a song on the radio that's really touched my soul in what seems like forever," states Beckley. "We want people to hear us and go wow, holy shit, that's what's been missing."
Formed in 2011, the members of Heartist walked away from college educations and secure employment to focus one hundred percent on music. They subsequently spent several months honing their sound, determined to create something that stood out on its own merits. In 2012 the band dropped their "Nothing You Didn't Deserve" EP via Roadrunner Records and subsequently toured with the likes of Architects UK and Enter Shikari including a European run supporting label mates Killswitch Engage. Heartist has also shared stages across the US with Blessthefall, Silverstein, Secrets and label mates The Amity Affliction.

Our little feathered yellow chick, Toki Tori, first saw the light of day in 1994. Back then Toki was called 'Eggbert' and the game was released for the MSX system.
Our creative lead, Collin van Ginkel, designed the character and game and sold it at our high school and at local conferences, complete with funky hand drawn box art. If you look on Google or eBay I'm sure you are able to pickup some of the original MSX floppy disks.
A few years later, around 1998, we were starting to experiment a bit with homebrew development for the Gameboy Color (GBC) system. We bought ourselves a couple of flashcard systems and started coding and experimenting. After creating some tech demos we decided to try to recreate Eggbert for the GBC.
Our goal was very ambitious; the game had to look like no other GBC game out there. We wanted it to be technically outstanding while still having great gameplay. After two years of development in our spare time we finally had something we could present to publishers.
Fortunately we knew an American entrepreneur who was willing to take on Eggbert to the E3 of 2000. So with no official dev status we managed to sell the game to Capcom. We quickly learned that we had to change the name from Eggbert to something else for legal and marketing reasons. So we sat down in a local shawarma restaurant and came up with a bunch of names, of which Toki Tori was finally picked by Capcom. And so Toki Tori was born…
When Toki Tori was released for the GBC in 2001, its timing was a bit unfortunate. We're not entirely sure how many of the original Toki Toris were sold, but since the Gameboy Advance was already released, there was a big pressure on the GBC market. GBC titles were dropped massively in favor of GBA titles.
So we always felt that Toki Tori deserved another chance. We initially tried to create the game for some mobile phones and even had a publishing deal with THQ Wireless. Unfortunately project "little mobile chick" got canned before it even saw the day of light on the mobile phone.
Meanwhile Two Tribes went on and focused on mobile phone and console development, with titles such as Worms World Party for the Nokia N-Gage, Garfield 2 and Worms Open Warfare 2 for Nintendo DS.
It wasn't until 2007 that we got renewed interest in our old franchise. We noticed that downloadable services such as Xbox Live Arcade and the just announced WiiWare offered small developers a chance to present their games to a large audience of console owners, without having to go through a publisher. When WiiWare was announced we shifted into high gear to be able to make it for the launch of the service.
About nine months later our yellow chick re-hatched, just in time for the European launch. The US launch of Toki Tori followed two weeks later.
Since then Toki Tori has received great response from users all over the world and it received excellent reviews from respectable review sites, ranking 79% at Metacritic. Toki Tori even has his own YouTube fan site, created by two enthusiastic Americans who played through the complete game and recorded all solutions. It's these things what makes being a developer worthwhile!
Not long after we finished the WiiWare version we decided to investigate whether or not Toki Tori would work on an iPhone/iPod Touch and did some initial testing. We noticed that the iPhone was less powerful in the graphical department as compared to the Wii. We also had to completely redesign the controls and had to reduce the WiiWare size of around 38 MB to a size below the 10 MB limit 3G imposes. Getting rid of 28 MB without losing too much quality wasn't exactly an easy task.
But we managed to resolve most of these problems and are confident that we have created a great rendition of Toki Tori for Apple's platforms. "To get more information about Toki Tori, please check www.tokitori.com or our YouTube channel.
The iPhone version worked out wonderful. It is by far my favorite version to date (not that the others aren't any good). The controls are just so intuitive.
It might have been for the best that the Eggbert name was dropped. Toki Tori sounds much cuter. You guys also could have gotten in serious trouble with Warner Bros over that Eggbert title screen. All it needs is a 'Th-th-th-that's all folks!' :p
It is really cool to see you guys aren't neglecting to talk about your MSX history. :D
And even nicer to see such love still for this character+concept that was born on an 8-bit homecomputer so many years ago. I like seeing how Eggbert evolved through the years and how many more people get to enjoy this cute little chick!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to buy it on Steam during the sale period :D
I am playing this on my iPhone and I enjoy it but I was saddened lately because the device was broken, any idea this one will also be available in Kindle?

Looks like a good game. Just out of curiosity, what programming language/game engine did you use to make that game?
@MA: It was made in assembly, which is basically programming the CPU with straight commands. Doesn't happen very often anymore, but if you only have 3.5Mhz to work with, you have to suffer ;)
"@MA: It was made in assembly, which is basically programming the CPU with straight commands. Doesn't happen very often anymore, but if you only have 3.5Mhz to work with, you have to suffer ;)"
Thanks for the answer but maybe I wasn't clear. I actually meant the new versions such as the one on Steam or the new coming one Toki Tori2+
Aha! We use C++ for that :)
Those were the times when it was possible to make a game in your basement and have it go big, although there was one individual who made a really good adventure game, on a fairly small budget, and was in the process of making a sequel before he bailed out, due to the stress and abuse he was experiencing, so it's still possible, just not as easy today as it was in the past.
That's really interesting! I am very happy to know about this amazing opportunity to use this game in iPhone. You have been doing a great job. Thank you very much for sharing this post. Keep sharing! sell airline miles
