The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
Raw lemonade smoothies are refreshing during the summer. There's something very cooling about that tart, tangy taste.
The color of this raw lemonade smoothie doesn't look very lemony due to the darkness of the dates, but the taste will be lemony-zingy!
I just love lemon-flavoured raw food recipes, like these raw lemon cookies.
Remember that you should always put the softest ingredients, such as bananas, in first. That way they're close to the blender's blade and make it easier to blend.
If you don't have a high-speed blender (such as a VitaMix) I might leave out the celery because celery is kind of stringy if not blended well. Also, if you don't have a high-speed blender make sure your dates are soft. If you have really hard dates, soak them in warmish water for half-an-hour or so.
Tip: If you don't have celery, try adding a handful of fresh parsley instead!

Do you use the whole lemon seeds and all ( not all of the skin, just some)?
Thinking I'll have to give this a try given all the great reviews :)
Hi Kelly, I use a knife to cut off all of the lemon peel.

Hi my whole family is going to do this raw smoothie challenge. Is there a way to adjust the amount on the shopping list for like 3 to 4 ppl?
Hi Sarah,
There's no easy way to double it in the app, sorry about that! But you'd probably be safe just doubling everything for 3-4 ppl

Parental Controls
You Get the Final Word
Your House, Your Rules
The parental controls on your cable set-top box can block programs by channel, title, rating, or time and date. Pay-per-view and video on demand purchases can also be blocked. Most importantly, YOU get to decide what is appropriate for your child.
Using parental controls is easy! It all starts with your remote control. Another great tool to help you select programming that everyone in your family can enjoy is the TV Ratings system (aka the TV Parental Guidelines). The TV ratings help you gauge age appropriateness and use symbols to describe the content they contain.
- Find out more about setting up your TV parental controls.
- Visit thetvboss.org to learn more about TV ratings.
- Visit controlwithcable.org to find out more about parental controls for your TV and your computer.
What You Need
Parental Controls are a free feature of Bright House Networks Premier TV. With Premier TV, simply press A on your remote and scroll to Parental Controls to choose the blocking option that works best for you.
Why It's Better
Parental Controls give you the power to choose the movies, shows and events your family can access. Plus, there are many ways to customize your settings, so TV is really on your terms.
Everyone is different. Find the Parental Control blocking option that best suits your needs.
- Block By Rating
PG? PG-13? R? Prevent your children from watching movies, shows and events by their ratings. You set the limits, and you can rest easier knowing your family is protected.
- Block by Content Advisory
Block programs that contain specific types of content, such as intense violence (V), strong coarse language (L) or intensely suggestive dialogue (D).
- Block TV Shows and Series
Block all episodes of shows you find inappropriate for your family.
- Block By Channel
Restrict access to entire channels and all their shows.
- Block Time Slots
When time does make a difference, prevent temptation to turn on the TV during homework or bedtime.
- Lift Restrictions
There's no need to miss your favorite shows. Turn Parental Controls On and Off as often as you choose. Just enter your PIN to change your options.
- Change Your PIN
Change your PIN any time and as often as you wish. It's easy to do.

The Alchemistby Paulo Coelho
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer." the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky.
Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book.
The Alchemist is a magical story of Santiago, an Audalusian shepherd boy who travels in search of a worldly treasure. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.
The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and above all, following our dreams.
"A wise and inspiring fable about the pilgrimage that life should be." M. Scott Peck, M.D., author of The Road Less Traveled
"[I]t's an interdenominational, transcendental, inspirational fable — in other words, a bag of wind....A message clings like ivy to every encounter; everyone, but everyone, has to put in their two cents' worth....The absence of characterization and overall blandness suggest authorship by a committee of self-improvement pundits." Kirkus Reviews
"Abeautiful story with a pointed message for every reader." Joseph Girzone, author of Joshua
At last — the unabridged recording of this timeless bestseller that has sold millions. "To realize one's destiny is a person's only obligation". This quote taken from The Alchemist sums up what the book is all about. The journey that life should be, is lived by a simple shepherd who finds that life's gifts lie within us all.
Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world, and this tenth anniversary edition, with a new introduction from the author, will only increase that following. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
About the Author
Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the city where he now lives. His own life has in many ways been as varied and unusual as the protagonists of his internationally acclaimed novels. Like them, Paulo Coelho has followed a dream in a quest for fulfillment. His own dream, to be a writer, met with frustration throughout much of his early adult life, a time in which he worked at various professions, some of them materially rewarding but spiritually unfulfilling. "I always knew," he says, "that my Personal Legend, to use a term from alchemy, was to write." He was 38 when he published his first book.
In 1970, after deciding that law school was not for him, he traveled through much of South America, North Africa, Mexico, and Europe. Returning to Brazil after two years, he began a successful career as a popular songwriter. In 1974, he was imprisoned for a short time by the military dictatorship then ruling in Brazil. In 1980, he experienced one of the defining moments of his life: he walked the 500-plus-mile Road of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. On this ancient highway, used for centuries by pilgrims from France to get to the cathedral said to house the remains of St. James, he achieved a self-awareness and a spiritual awakening that he later described in The Pilgrimage.
Paulo Coelho once said that following your dream is like learning a foreign language; you will make mistakes but you will get there in the end. In 1988, he published The Alchemist, a novel that explores this theme, and it launched him as an international bestselling author. Specifically, Paulo Coelho is recognized for his powerful storytelling technique and the profound spiritual insights he blends seamlessly into his parables. Since then, The Alchemist has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and has been translated into some 41 languages. In addition to The Pilgrimage and The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho has written luminous novels about the different streams of our lives, including By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, The Valkyries, The Fifth Mountain, and Veronika Decides to Die. A winner of numerous literary prizes, Paulo Coelho is also a prominent speaker for humanitarian causes. In 1999, he received a Crystal Award for Artistic Achievement at the Davos Economic Forum Conference.

HOGANSBURG Arrow White, age and address not available, was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, to two years in prison for his role in a conspiracy to distribute marijuana.
He also was ordered to undergo an additional four years of supervision upon his release from prison after an April 13 guilty plea to conspiring to knowingly and intentionally possess marijuana with the intent to distribute the drug.
According to a plea agreement filed with the court, Mr. White admitted that he delivered marijuana from the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation to two unspecified residences in Ogdensburg. He further admitted that he supplied three unidentified people with more than 100 kilograms of marijuana from 2010 to July 2012. On other occasions, he drove a lookout car while an unidentified person transported marijuana in a separate vehicle, according to the agreement.
Judge Glenn T. Suddaby recommended that he be placed in a substance abuse rehabilitation program while in prison.

Dry conditions and about the same number of buck deer as last season will likely greet hunters when Utah's 2001 general archery deer hunt opens Aug. 18.
"We're up about 4,000 to 5,000 deer over last year so depending on the area they hunt, archery hunters could find a few more deer," says Steve Cranney, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
The state's total deer population numbers about 320,000 animals. Cranney says the largest populations are found in higher elevations areas, with the Manti and Wasatch Mountains units in central Utah, and the South Slope unit in northeastern Utah, among the state's best.
Many of the deer herds on lower, drier units haven't reached buck to doe ratio and total population objectives called for in Utah's deer management plans.
Cranney says the dry weather will be a factor in this year's hunt. "People who like to hunt from trees stands that are close to water will probably have the most success, as the deer will really be focused on these water sources," he said. "Hunters who like to stalk animals will probably have a harder time. The dry vegetation will make it hard to walk without making noise.
"Hunters who like to track animals should try and hunt in high elevation areas," Cranney said. "Also, some rain before the hunt would really help as it would moisten the vegetation in lower elevation areas and make it easier to walk quietly."
As of July 31, permits for the archery hunt were still available from Division of Wildlife Resources offices. General archery buck deer permits are statewide permits this year. They allow hunters to hunt any open hunting unit in the state except limited entry units, which may be hunted only by those who drew a limited entry permit earlier this year.
Cranney says the statewide opportunity makes this season a great time for first-time archery hunters to pick up the sport.
"The statewide permit gives hunters a chance to try different areas of the state, which is great for learning different areas and finding a place you like," he said.
"If you've hunted archery for a few years, though, I would advise you to stay in an area you're familiar with," Cranney said. "The more you know about an area the better your success will be, no matter how the deer populations in it are doing.
"This is especially important for a guy with a bow," Cranney said. "In archery hunting, the best success comes to hunters who know the habits of animals in the area they're hunting, and where the water sources are."

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
In a society that worships capitalism and entrepreneurship, charity is often not thought of until well after a venture has gained steady profitability. In Carbon County, one young man is bucking that trend by rooting his new business in the spirit of giving and friendship.
Over the past few months, Parker Humes - and, because of demand, the rest of his family - have been making bracelets. More specifically, the group has been weaving survival paracord bands into both bracelets and necklaces and then selling the products to benefit several fund-raising endeavors at Castle Heights Elementary School.
Humes became interested in the bracelets after seeing his cousin with one and going online to find something similar.
"I pulled the stings out of a couple of hoodies I had and then tied that together with the clip from a bike helmet," he chuckled. "It turned out alright, it works. I started wearing it and my friends liked it. I still have it. My friend Connor makes them and he showed me where to get the cord when I decided to make them."
Humes began weaving the bracelets as a hobby, something for him and his friends to wear.
"I started seeing them everywhere, right after we started making them, especially online," he explained. "So when people kept asking me where I had got mine, I started telling them I could make one for them."
According to Humes, the survival aspect of the cord is a big draw for kids his age. Each bracelet contains between nine and 10 feet of 550 parachute cord which has a laundry list of applications in a survival situation.
"The whole thing started as something fun for them to do," said Parker's mother, Nicole Humes. "But then they found out about KateLynn's fundraiser."
Just last month, the Castle Country community had set up fund-raising activities to help KateLynn Sanderson and her family with the costs associated with a lifetime battle against severe heart disease and scoliosis.
"I thought that I could help by making some bracelets to sell, so about a week before the fundraiser we started making them to have at the fundraiser. We sold out so fast and then took a ton of back orders. I was hoping to raise like $100 and we ended up raising $1,050 for KateLynn and her family," he said.
At seven years old, KateLynn had endured 22 surgeries associated with her health issues. Following a recent procedure, her family was told that a transplant would be next. The Castle Heights fifth grader would not have to go through another surgery. She passed away just before the community fundraiser in March.
"After KateLynn's fundraiser, Moira Madrid, a teacher at the kid's school got involved with Brylee Olsen's fundraiser and she asked if Parker would sell the bracelets there as well," said Parker's mother.
Brylee Olson was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor (infiltrating brain stem glioma) on March 6. Her fundraiser event is being called "Brylee in 5," because her family is hoping that she is part of only five percent that benefit from treatment.
The event will take place April 12 from 5 to 10 p.m. in the USU Eastern Cosmetology Department. More information can be found by searching "Brylee in 5" on Facebook.
The project has become a whole family affair as Parker's brother Dax will be selling the bracelets at Brylee's fundraiser. Parker will be away on a scouting trip. All together, the Humes family and those they could enlist to help have created more than 300 of the hand-made bracelets and necklaces.
Parker's site is under construction but can be found at phparacord.blogspot.com.
"I don't know what's going to happen after Brylee's Fundraiser, I know I want to keep making them and selling them," he said. "But more than that, it's been cool to do it because it's helping someone else."

ORONO, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- The University of Maine men's hockey team along with fans joined the fight to end domestic violence. During Sunday's home game fans and players showed support for the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence.
Fans received rally towels reading "There's no excuse for domestic abuse." The special dedication comes during February which is recognized as teen dating violence awareness month.
Margo Batsie with the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence said, "Domestic abuse doesn't know age. There's research that shows people young and old are effected. So it is really important to get the message out to college students. We also like using a sporting event because it's sort of a crowd we don't get to talk to very often."
Nearly 2,000 rally towels were passed out. The men's hockey team plus their coaches wore purple ribbons on their helmets and jackets to help stop domestic and dating violence.
The Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence encourages anyone who is being abused or knows someone being abused to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.

Dean Armstrong resigned as Helper's Mayor on Saturday.
Helper Mayor Dean Armstrong resigned from office Saturday morning, effective immediately.
Armstrong had been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol after a minor accident on Helper Main Street Friday afternoon. He has not been convicted of the offense.
However, he was found guilty of an earlier DUI that occurred in Price in November 2011. That arrest and subsequent judgment put his term as mayor in jeopardy then, when citizens turned out for a meeting with the Helper City Council to determine what should be done. At that time the mayor declined to resign.
On Saturday morning the mayor typed and printed his letter of resignation in the city recorder's office and distributed it to council members and the city attorney shortly before a special executive session of the council. The occasion was informal and cordial before the meeting began.
"In light of recent events, I have determined that I can no longer adequately perform the duties of Mayor," the letter states. "Instead, I will turn my focus toward taking care of my family, my health, and my business. Although I am saddened by my inability to complete my term, I do feel that we have moved Helper City forward over the last several years. The people of this community are strong, and it has been my honor and privilege to have served you."
"Your contributions to the city have been many and great. We want you to be cognizant of that," Councilman Robert Bradley said to Armstrong during the meeting.
Armstrong told the council he would continue to help in any way he can in an unofficial capacity and council members welcomed the offer.
Since Armstrong took office three years ago, the city has embarked on an ambitious project to renovate is entire water, sewer and storm drainage systems. Ground breaking on the $18 million project is expected to begin in about a month.
The mayor has also been instrumental in concept planning for a restoration of the Price River through Helper. Plans call for transforming the river from a straight-line channel through town into a stream with meanders, standing waves and rapids suitable for a variety of recreation activities.
Councilman Kirk Mascaro will act as mayor for the time being.

Latest on the OF market: Red Sox have not spoken to Cody Ross recently
The Red Sox expect to have Jacoby Ellsbury in their outfield in 2013 (WEEI), but have not been in contact with the agents for Cody Ross since they signed Shane Victorino (Boston Herald).
Despite reports last night that the Reds and Ryan Ludwick were close to a deal, they "are still a little ways apart." (MLB.com)
Seattle is a likely landing spot for Josh Hamilton, if he doesn't re-sign with Texas (ESPN Boston). However, he did meet with Boston yesterday (FOX Sports).
The Yankees met with the agents for Mark Reynolds, who is looking for a salary similar to the $7.5 million he earned in 2012 (MLB.com).
The Mariners, Phillies and Rangers have all expressed interest in Raul Ibanez (FOX Sports).
Michael Baron, ContributorLast night, it was reported the Reds were close to a two-year contract with Ludwick, although the Reds have yet to wrap that up with him. Ross had a very similar year to Ludwick in 2012, and so I wonder if the Mets can sign Ross to a similar deal. He had reportedly been seeking a three-year contract for around the same money, but that could change if Ludwick signs for two years.

MASSENA Organized labor will take the spotlight on Monday when the 33rd annual Solidarity Day parade winds through Massenas streets.
Labor groups, bands and local politicians will line up at 10 a.m. at Willow and Center streets and step off at 11 a.m., heading to Springs Park for a post-parade picnic for parade participants.
Guests marching in Mondays parade include state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome; Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa; St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duve and St. Lawrence County coroner candidate Eric Warner.
The Massena High School Marching Band will also be part of the parade.
This years Solidarity Day Parade Committee co-chairs are Ronald P. McDougall, president of the Central Trades and Labor Council, and Randy Woodside, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2032.
Mr. McDougall said committee members have been meeting to plan Mondays event.
Weve been getting things lined up. Now were just anxiously waiting. The big thing is watching the weather. A week or so ago the forecast was pretty good. Things have changed, he said.
The forecast as of Friday is predicting showers and thunderstorms Monday morning.
Well take the usual route. It takes a shortcut to get by Spankys, on to Main Street, down to South Main and then a huge picnic (at Springs Park, West Hatfield Street) for parade participants after recognizing organized labor, Mr. McDougall said.
As this years Solidarity Day parade gets set to begin, he said, there are a couple of north country issues that are on the minds of organized labor the potential privatization of Massena Memorial Hospital and the planned relocation of inpatient services at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center in Ogdensburg.
Employees at both locations belong to the Civil Services Employees Association. Some hospital employees are represented by the New York State Nurses Association.
As part of Mondays events at Springs Park, a raffle drawing will be held for $10,000 and other cash prizes. Tickets to benefit Massenas Solidarity Day Parade are now available at Frenchies Chevrolet.
Tickets are $10.
The grand prize winner will receive $10,000 cash, with second prize of $5,000, third prize of $1,000, fourth prize of $500, fifth prize of $400, sixth prize of $300, seventh prize of $200 and eighth prize of $100.
Were trying to raise money for underwriting the cost associated with this, which is substantial. When youre feeding a couple thousand people, it costs money, Mr. McDougall said.

To the tune of "Amazing Grace"
Amazing Sauce
How sweet the taste
Was lost
But now can eat
T'was ravoli that taught...
my heart to fear.
And sauce, my noodles breathe.
How precious did that sauce appear...the hour I first believed.
Through many herbs, seafoods and cheeses...
we have already come.
T'was FSM that brought us safe thus far...
and sauce will lead us home.
The FSM has promised good to me...
Pirate word my hope secures.
FSM will be my ship and portion be...
as long as life endures.
Pirates have been here three thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing FSM's praise...
then when we've first begun.
Amazing Sauce
How sweet the taste
Was lost
But now can eat.

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medicines listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medicines as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
The type of treatment you will have will depend on the stage of the cancer, the size of the tumor, your age, and overall condition. The main prescription drug therapies used to treat prostate cancer are hormonal therapies.
Hormonal Therapy
Prostate cells need male hormones, called androgens, to grow and work properly. The aim of hormonal therapy is to reduce the amount of male hormones in your body so that prostate cells are not stimulated to grow. The most effective hormonal therapy is to undergo surgery to remove the testes (called orchiectomy). This is effective surgery, but it is irreversible. Often hormonal therapies are combined to achieve greater effects.
Different types of hormonal therapies include:
Common names include:
- Leuprolide (Lupron)
- Goserelin (Zoladex)
These medicines decrease the production of the male hormone, testosterone, from your testicles. These medicines are given by injection into a muscle every few months.
Possible side effects include:
- Impotence
- Hot flashes
- Loss of sexual desire
- Osteoporosis
- Fatigue
- Increased risk of heart disease and diabetes
Common names include:
- Flutamide (Eulexin)
- Bicalutamide (Casodex)
- Nilutamide (Nilandron)
Anti-androgens prevent your body from using androgens. Possible side effects include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Breast growth or tenderness
- Change in sexual ability or desire
Common name: ketoconazole (Nizoral)
Ketoconazole blocks the production of androgens. It is considered a second-line hormonal treatment. It may be used when other medicines are not working.
Possible side effects include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Liver problems
- Itchy skin
Newer Hormonal Therapies
Common name: abiraterone (Zytiga)
Abiraterone works by blocking an enzyme that is needed to make testosterone. The drug affects the ability of the testes and body tissue from making this male hormone.
Possible side effects include:
- Fatigue
- Fluid build-up in the legs
- Joint and muscle pain
- High blood pressure
- Bladder infection
Common name: enzalutamide (Xtandi)
This medicine has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for men that have late-stage prostate cancer that has not responded to other treatments. Enzalutamide, a type of anti-antigen, prevents your body from using androgens.
Possible side effects include:
- Weakness
- Back pain
- Diarrhea
- Joint pain
Special Considerations
If you are taking medicines, follow these general guidelines:
- Take your medicine as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Do not stop taking them without talking to your doctor.
- Do not share them.
- Know what the results and side effects. Report them to your doctor.
- Some drugs can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one drug. This includes over-the-counter medicine and herb or dietary supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills so you don't run out.

Last Thursday was a day filled with excitement and plenty of basketball action in Helper, as the Mont Harmon Pirates visited the Helper Junior High Rams in a battle for control of the hardwood floor in junior high basketball.
The afternoon began with the varsity boys teams competing against one another. The game came down to the last few seconds of the game as Helper clinched the victory by the score of 61-59. The home crowd was ecstatic over the victory as the girls ran onto the floor in hopes of continuing the Rams winning streak that began with the varsity boys game.
The varsity girls played a tough game with several arms and elbows being thrown. The physical game was close throughout, but the Pirates escaped victorious 56-49.
The junior varsity teams also competed Thursday with the Pirates upsetting the Rams in the girls game by the score of 30-22, while the boys also walked away victorious 39-29 against the hosting team.
The junior high teams will once again compete this Thursday with Mont Harmon hosting East Carbon and Helper traveling to Canyon View. Mont Harmon will also host San Rafael Friday as the season draws to an end.
Both teams will polish up their skills this week as the prepart to enter the district tournaments next week in Emery county.

As reported here previously, on December 21 the National Rifle Association broke its week-long silence regarding the deadly Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. At a press conference, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre (pictured), the most visible spokesman for the organization, took aim and blasted away at the federally imposed Gun-Free School Zones Act (first passed in 1990 and revised in 1995). Mr. LaPierre declared that nobody "has addressed the most important, pressing and immediate question we face: How do we protect our children right now, starting today, in a way that we know works?"
LaPierre continued:
The only way to answer that question is to face up to the truth. Politicians pass laws for Gun-Free School Zones. They issue press releases bragging about them. They post signs advertising them.
And in so doing, they tell every insane killer in America that schools are their safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk.
The politically correct (but fatally wrong-headed) Gun-Free School Zones are an easy and appropriate target. However, in the interest of full disclosure, Mr. LaPierre should have reminded his listeners that only a few years ago he and the NRA were major backers of the Gun-Free School Zones. Yes, it will surprise many Americans, including many NRA members, to learn that LaPierre testified in favor of the Gun-Free School Zones he now decries, when President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno were pushing their ambitious attacks on the 2nd Amendment.
Here is what LaPierre said, on behalf of the NRA, when testifying on May 27, 1999, before the Subcommittee on Crime of the House Judiciary Committee:

|Crawdads clinch 1st-Half Championship
|Written by Sraff Reports
|Sunday, 19 June 2011 07:10
The Hickory Crawdads clinched the 1st-Half Northern Division Championship and a 2011 SAL Playoff berth with a 5-3 victory against the Charleston RiverDogs before 1,991 fans at L.P. Frans Stadium on Saturday.The Crawdads victory, combined with Kannapolis beating Greensboro 1-0, in 12 innings on Saturday, clinched the title for Hickory. It marks the first time since 2002 that the 'Dads have won the first half division championship, and only the second time in team history.
Charleston (25-44) got on the board in the top of the first inning as Rob Segedin and Gary Sanchez had back-to-back RBI singles that gave Charleston a 2-0 advantage. Nick Tepesch settled down and threw four scoreless innings after that. Meanwhile, Charleston pitcher Mikey O'Brien and reliever Kramer Sneed retired 18 of the 19 Crawdads they faced through the first six innings.
The RiverDogs added a third run on an RBI double by J.R. Murphy in the seventh before the Crawdads (40-27) began chipping away in the bottom of the inning against O'Brien. With two outs and the bases empty, Christian Villanueva kept the inning alive with a walk. Andrew Clark followed with a two-run homer cutting the deficit to just 3-2.
Hickory completed the comeback with three runs in the bottom of the eighth against losing pitcher Kelvin Perez (0-4). Jake Skole led off with a single and went to third on a two-base error committed by shortstop Jose Mojica on a Jhonny Gomez grounder. Gomez was retired at second on the play, but it moved the game-tying run just in scoring position just ninety feet away. Teodoro Martinez brought in Skole with an RBI double down the left-field line, tying things up at 3-3. Martinez then charged home on an RBI triple by Jurickson Profar, who scored on an RBI grounder by Odubel Herrera, giving the Crawdads a 5-3 lead.
Ryan Rodebaugh picked up his tenth save with a scoreless ninth inning. Joe Van Meter (5-0) picked up the win in relief.
NOTES: The Crawdads close the first half of the season against the Charleston RiverDogs on Sunday at 5 p.m. for Craw"DADS" Day! All dads will get a FREE ticket to Sunday's game, with a pre-game father-child catch on the field from 4 - 4:30 p.m. It is also Prostate Cancer Awareness Day.

KINGSTON, Ontario We were amazed when we found out that the River Mill restaurant has been in business for 30 years.
Its located a little way out of the downtown hub, so its off the radar of visitors who confine their Kingston experience to the Princess Street/Brock Street/Montreal Street grid where there is a number of fine restaurants.
It takes up the waterside portion of an attractive, renovated late-19th century factory building called the Woolen Mill. The restaurant has a fine waterfront view of the Cataraqui River.
We arrived at the River Mill for dinner at 6 oclock on a recent Saturday and were immediately impressed by the classy look of the old place: a red-brick exterior with a well-lit and welcoming entrance.
The dining room is softly lit; there are numerous candles in glass holders, and their reflections make the glassware sparkle on the tables, which are doubly covered in white damask linen cloths. Live music from the grand piano was provided.
The room is elegantly painted in warm beiges, and the window openings are huge, with noticeably deep sills. The windows themselves are all new, and even though it was well below freezing outside, we were very comfortable.
The only nod to an industrial past was the tastefully painted exposed ductwork suspended from the ceiling. All in all, the place gave off an expensive aura.
Where the downtown restaurants tend to be trendy, the River Mill seems old school in both its look and its menu offerings. French onion soup. Baked Brie. Charcuterie platter. Tableside Caesar salad. Braised lamb shank. Stuffed pork loin. Bacon-wrapped scallops. Grilled beef tenderloin.
Although our reservation was early for a Saturday and the place wasnt jammed, there was a certain amount of controlled chaos going on. The host was busy with a large party at the front door. Friends meeting me had to avoid that mess and find their own way to my table.
We waited and waited for our server, who finally rushed by and dropped off menus. We had to ask for a wine list. We probably should have asked for bread as well, because none ever made it to our table like it did the others.
There was a nice selection of wines by the bottle and glass, but not much available for the beer drinker in our foursome. Sure, the place is old-fashioned in style, but youd think the owners would realize that beer has become an acceptable alternative to wine to pair with good food.
There was a large selection of interesting appetizers. We decided on baked Brie ($13), Creole shrimp ($15) and the charcuterie for two ($24).
The Brie was very good, paired with maple pecan butter, red onion marmalade, apple slices and toast points none of that goofy sauce you sometimes get that makes you feel like youre eating dessert first. The Brie was baked to just the right point soft and spreadable without running all over the plate when you cut into the wheel.
Creole shrimp was nicely executed, five impressively large sustainable shrimp from the Sea of Cortez. I dont know what the big deal is about shrimp from the Sea of Cortez, or even where it is, for that matter. (A quick Google search tells me its the body of water that separates the Baja California peninsula from the Mexican mainland.)
Back to the shrimp perfectly cooked with a nice snap to them. The Creole sauce, made with tomatoes, shallots and roasted garlic, was mighty tasty and not overly spicy.
The charcuterie consisted of house-cured meats and local cheeses. It arrived on two plates, one with pickled carrot and cuke slices on a bed of arugula surrounded by three piles of meat.
We recognized one of the meats as prosciutto, but the others were harder to identify a dark shredded meat with the flavor of cumin, the other more like pot roast in aspic. Alongside were selections of blue cheese and cheddar, slices of apple and some delicious grilled buttered bread. A cup of smooth chutney brought it all together.
On the second plate was more cheese, apples and bread.
We had polished off most of what was on the plates when our waiter dashed by with yet another plate, mumbling something about having not had enough room for the whole thing on the other two plates. Plate No. 3 included more bread, another cup of a different sauce, this one more of an Asian flavor, and more veggies and cheese.
As he rushed off we asked what the meats were, and he said he would write it down for us. (Maybe if he told us hed have to kill us?) Soon he returned with a slip of paper on which he had written: boar carpaccio and pulled pork. Hmm. He didnt happen to mention which was which, nor did he talk about the cheeses or the condiments.
But aside from the odd presentation and lack of information, this was an absolutely delicious starter, highly flavorful and thoughtfully assembled.
Our entrees were skillfully prepared, with attention to detail and interesting flavors.
A generous portion of locally raised pork ($25) was stuffed with red onion and roasted garlic, plated with a cassoulet of white beans, roasted shallots, carrots and golden beets with the addition of maple brown butter cream sauce. The beans were slightly underdone, but other than that overall the dish worked well.
When theres venison on a menu, its got my name on it. The River Mills venison tenderloin ($32) was really, really good. The meat was grilled to my call of medium-rare, maybe even a little to the rare side, which is fine with me. It was tender as can be and was served with roasted potatoes, a tasty mushroom ragout and a thyme/ginger demi-glace.
The menu description of the scallop preparation ($27) tantalized us: House-cured bacon-wrapped orange and ginger-glazed scallops dusted with hazelnuts and Parmesan served over shiitake mushroom risotto.
Four enormous, juicy sea scallops arrived wrapped in thick, meaty, slightly sweet bacon. The glazed scallops were served on a bed of cooked spinach and set around a mound of delicious risotto. The sweetness and saltiness of the scallops, the earthiness of the risotto and the tartness of the spinach were fabulous together. Truly a swoon-worthy dish.
The River Mills vegetarian dish, billed simply as Veggie ($20), consisted of a pan-seared portobello steak on butternut squash risotto served with salsa cruda.
We expected one large mushroom but it came cut into chunks and saut�ed. The diced squash in the risotto had a slight crunch that contrasted nicely with the creaminess of the rice. Salsa cruda is a very simple mixture of tomatoes, onions, chiles and cilantro. Overall, a nice combination of subtle and strong flavors.
Our waiter was obviously having an off night. He was ready to push us out the door, but we inquired about dessert and were handed menus with a half dozen or more selections as well as specialty coffees and other beverages. These, like the main dishes, showed the same attention to preparation and presentation.
The Black Forest semifreddo ($9) looked like a Japanese pagoda, a little cylinder of frozen chocolate mousse topped with a thin, rectangular slab of chocolate, like a roof. The plate was decorated with swirls of cherry coulis and white chocolate ganache.
Poached pear ($9) was beautiful and delicious a peeled and cored pear slowly poached in red wine and sugar to a deep, dark red color, served on a swirl of raspberry coulis and vanilla sauce. The plate was completed with two little dark chocolate hazelnut nougats.
Lemon meringue ($8) was a winner, a rich and tart lemon dessert topped with browned meringue. It was served in a vanilla cookie bowl that had the texture of biscotti. Totally refreshing.
Dinner for four came to $210.41 before tip but did include nearly $24 in Canadian taxes.
Overall, we enjoyed superior food and a somewhat inventive menu that still offers solidly prepared traditional dishes. We love the ambiance.
But the service, while friendly, was weird. Our server was out of sync the entire evening. He acted like a hummingbird at a feeder, never really landing at our table long enough to complete a conversation.
Aside from the puzzling service, it was a memorable dinner from start to finish. Well certainly be back.

The facts of science
By Ann Fenech, on 14 June 2010
Did you know that the smell of seaside is really dimethyl sulfide from bacteria (Coast), or that the probability of winning the lottery is equivalent to the probability of dying in 1hour…27mins…and 2s (Matt Parker)?
As a scientist, I love facts. 'How can you not' I ask? And this festival provided me with more than its fair share of them. I slipped quite a number of them into other posts, but some of them have escaped that fate…until now!
What else did I learn? Well, Henrietta Lacks' cells, known as HeLa – the first immortal human cells ever grown in culture – double in number every 24hrs (Is this the golden age of science writing?). Or that most Mexican waves require 25 people to start and travel at 27 miles per hour? (The Wavewatcher's Companion).
However my favourite is probably this: Did you know that the fraction line is known as the vinculum. Mathgasm anyone? (Stand-Up Mathematics). Yeah I'm ever so slightly geeky!
Moving on to the somewhat bizarre? Quentin Cooper (FameLab International) stated that the periodic table is the scientific equivalent of a six-pack…where did he come up with that?
But the most inspirational thing I heard? The distinction would fall on the Moroccan Famelab contestant:
"If I wasn't a scientist I would do my best to become one"
And that is what I have reminded myself during this festival…exactly why I do what I do and why I love what I do. And I will echo his words once again: If I wasn't a scientist I would definitely try my best to be one!

It's a feeling the father said words cannot describe.
"A million pounds just got off my chest," he said.
Volusia County Sheriff's deputies, family, and friends searched all day for the 24-year-old, who is mentally disabled.
Mercer said he wanted to know if anyone had hurt his daughter.
"That's the first thing I asked -- 'Did anybody bother (you)?' She said nobody touched her," said Mercer.
Caressa was found two miles away from her home, in a soup kitchen at the First United Methodist Church on Howry Avenue. A volunteer saw her picture on the news and called deputies.
Miguel Vasquez, a volunteer at the soup kitchen, said he took Caressa in after she told him she was homeless and had no where to go.
"She looked like she hadn't slept for days, and I feel sorry for her. I told her to come in," he said.
Caressa ate, bathed, and changed clothes. She sat at a dining table until she was taken home to her father just after 6 p.m.
"She was scared because she was afraid that I was gonna be mad at her, and there is no way I was gonna be mad at that girl," said Mercer.

It is now the last week of November, so we have reached the third stage in the hellish Advent calendar titled 'The Run-up to Christmas'. This is the part where you start to feel guilty about not having bought any presents yet – surprisingly, this is a good place to be. We still have another three stages to go, the final one culminating in fighting with panicked Secret Santa-ers over the last Ted Baker sock set in TK Maxx.
I am duty-bound to tell you what kind of party clothes to wear (sparkly over sheer) and what kind of lingerie to buy for your significant other (sheer over sparkly) but, in truth, the best Christmas present to buy pretty much anyone is a voucher (my preference is Amazon, being mercifully bereft of sheer or sparkly stuff).
It is hard to wrap a voucher – or surprisingly easy, depending on your outlook. On asking my sister for an Amazon voucher, she instead asked for a list of books that I wanted so she could wrap them herself. It seemed like an awful lot of effort to me when I could have just bought them myself with my voucher. Then again, I probably just need a Christmas special to warm my cold, dead heart.
They may seem like a bit of a cop-out, but I love getting vouchers as gifts. I am such a persnickety, contrary person that it's often hard for loved ones to choose something for me. I also suffer from a condition known as 'Weird Boob and Leg-itis' which means that I'm such a strange shape that clothes rarely fit the way they should. If you need help with which vouchers to buy for who, I'm here for you.
The Cover All Bases Person – The Secret Santa person, the person who has eclectic but decidedly mainstream tastes, the vaguely trendy male cousins, the friend who is so worryingly preoccupied with her dress size that you are now scared to ask what it is – get an ASOS voucher. For those not in the know, ASOS is a global shopping platform with its own mainline range as well as a glut of other retailers. You can also support vintage sellers and just-got-started designers in their Marketplace section.
The Person Who's Always Banging on About Needing Thermal Underwear – Marks and Spencer. People who think about thermals also think quite frequently about comfort food (I am one of these people) and Marks has an admirable selection of both.
The College Student – Topshop. Is an explanation necessary?
The Person Who has Recently Decided to Dress Like a Grown-Up – There is a crossroads in a woman's life at the intersection of 'Good Quality' and 'But I don't Have Any Money' and Cos is the recently-constructed bypass. The Swedish label sells its wares in Brown Thomas, so buy a BT voucher and point her in the right direction come January sales time.
For everyone else – a book token. Fashion can't be the solution to every problem (but God knows at least I'm trying).

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — As the Federal Reserve mulls changes to its communication policy, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans on Tuesday tweaked his view on what conditions should be in place before interest-rate hikes can begin.
In a speech to the C.D. Howe Institute, an independent not-for-profit economic research firm based in Toronto, Evans said policy makers should vow low rates until unemployment falls below 6.5%, as long as inflation is not forecast to rise above 2.5%.
Evans was the first Fed official to advocate for economic guideposts for policy. For the past year, he has advocated that the Fed offer assurances it will keep short-term interest rates low until the jobless rate falls below 7%, as long as inflation remains below 3%. Read: Fed's Evans favors more out of the box easing
Evans said the 7% threshold now seems "too conservative."
"If we continue to have few concerns about inflation along the path to a stronger recovery, there would be no reason to undo the positive effects of these policy actions prematurely just because the unemployment rate hits 6.9%," he said.
He said recent Fed easing has put the economy on a better path than it was last fall.
Evans said he also lowered his inflation safeguard from 3% because it made"many people anxious."
Evans said he doubted the inflation forecast would rise so high.
"We're much more likely to reach the 6.5% unemployment threshold before inflation begins to approach even a modest number like 2.5%," he said.
Signalling markets
The Fed is seen as moving slowly but steadily toward an overhaul of its communications strategy.
At the moment, the Fed uses a calendar-date approach, saying it expects to keep rates near zero until mid-2015.
Supporters of using economic conditions argue that it provides the market with much more information to judge the Fed's future policy path.
Experts say that using a calendar date confuses investors into thinking the Fed is predicting miserable economic conditions until that date.

Most fragrance gift sets contain several different products that all have the same signature aroma. These sets often include a selection of options such as cologne/perfume, body sprays, lotion, aftershave, and deodorant. It's important that both you and your gift recipient understand the purposes and differences between some of these common items so that they get used correctly.
Perfumes and colognes tend to be packaged in smaller bottles, as they are extremely concentrated. You can apply a few sprays of these products to key areas like your neck, wrists, or elbows, and the natural oils within them will mix with the chemicals on your skin to give you a unique and individual scent. Many people choose to wear these fragrances all day. Body sprays, on the other hand, are far less concentrated and tend to be alcohol-based rather than being rich in natural oils. These products are often sprayed all over your body to give you a shorter burst of a specific scent, which tends to fade much more quickly than perfumes and colognes.
Certain scented skin care products, like lotions, aftershave, and deodorant, all serve dual purposes. In addition to carrying your favorite fragrance, they also fill the role of other products that you likely use in your daily routine. Lotions, for instance, moisturize and heal dry skin in addition to making your hands, arms, or face carry your distinct aroma. Aftershaves can heal nicks and razor burns immediately following hair removal, and deodorants help mask odor in addition to replacing it with a more pleasing scent. All of these options can be used individually or combined, depending on how much of your particular fragrance you want to give off at any time.
Whether as a present to your friend or significant other - or even just a treat for yourself - fragrance gift sets are both thoughtful and useful. Browse the selection of Fragrance Gift Set Products for both men and women that are available from Walgreens, and you can easily find the right gift for anyone. BACK TO TOP ›

The Candy 1 has gone into stealth mode. A highly durable, low profile composite body drops the weight all the way down to 262 grams. Crankbrothers' trademark four sided entry remains unchanged.
The Candy 1 rolls on a steel axle that's been fitted with an internal bushing and a cartridge bearing for a long life. Should they ever need maintenance, crankbrothers has made the design very user friendly for easy servicing.
The included cleat provides 6 degrees of float and either a 15 or 20 degree release angle depending on how it's set up. The cleats will fit any 2 bolt, SPD style shoe.
I have a bad knee and need a pedal with lots of float,these fit the bill perfectly. easy to clip in easy to clip out . an all around solid product.
The Candy 1 pedal is a superb product. The simple Crank Bro design offers 4 sided entry and great debris clearing capability. As a roadie and mtn biker, I use Candy pedals on all my bikes. I've found the Candy pedal offers just the right amount of platform and support for longer rides. As always, Crank Bros are reliable and provide great customer support.
after 3 years, i crunched the bearings on my candy 2's, a week before a race, and days before a paycheck. so i ordered candy 1 because i could afford them and get them on time. and aside from being plastic instead of metal, i haven't seen much difference. good attachment and release. easy to care for. if you read the directions, you can have a 15 degree or 20 degree release depending on how you install the cleats. i use the 20 degree, and it holds nicely.
Great petal for learning riders but if you want a good petal this is not it. Even if your just riding this petal clips out alot!!!!!!

Outlining with Your Professor in Mind
Notice the big blue sign near Career Services that is proclaiming you need 700 hours to be successful during a semester? That translates to a 40-hour work week from the start of school to the end of exams.
So how do you accomplish sufficient preparation? Here are a few hints:
• Think of these 700 hours as "billable." Make sure you don't congratulate yourself for a study session when you have accomplished little. Be realistic - studying only works when you are focused and prepared.
• So ask yourself as you begin what you are trying to accomplish during a study session. What's your purpose? Editing your paper? Think about the flow of the paper and Bluebook. Learning an area of law in a course? Make sure you look not only at the cases and notes - but ask what is the rule, what is the meaning of the rule, what courts do to decide the rule, as well as a host of other outlining techniques. But know what you want to do specifically - don't just mentally tell yourself you are going to "study."
• Overestimate how much time you need to accomplish a particular task. Preparing for class when you only have a half hour, or when you waited until Sunday night is not a good plan. Don't add stress to your studying by waiting to the last minute. So don't wait until the end to prepare for your class, don't wait until the end to make your outlines, and certain you don't want to wait to reading days to practice and study!!
• Finally, remember that in any job situation, you do have a life. Make sure you take good care of yourself. Exercise, sufficient sleep, and proper nutrition are all important.
Get going on those 700 hours!
Maximizing Learning by Using what Learning Preferences Work for You
Learning law is not the same process for everyone. For those of you with a background in psychology, education or the like, you may have had exposure to learning theories. Simply put, different people learn in different ways, relying on different senses as the primary mode to learn material. Every year, first year law students are asked by LRW Director, Prof. Rollins, to take the VARK (Visual, Aural, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic). This quick and simple test helps determine what your learning style preference or preferences are; that is how you prefer to receive and learn information.
So why is this important to the law students? Because while you will all give professors the information that they seek through written examinations and in-class responses, how you learn that material can vary widely. While the first year law students have all taken the VARK in LRW, learning style can affect more than LRW. Moreover, learning style includes more than simply how you best absorb information. So, if you feel that the paper, pen and outline strategy is limiting for you, or you have a hard time determining the overall structure of the course - you may want to learn what your dominant methods of learning are.
The current class breaks down as follows:
|MULTIMODAL (more than one preference)
However, this can be misleading, in that the Multimodal does not indicate that these students can learn in any fashion. Rather, the literature regarding this category suggests that these students require more than one method to feel confident that they have mastered the material. So if you receive a designation of Multimodal, check to determine what combination is your best way to learn. Try to use at least two of these methods so you have confidence in your understanding of the concepts.
|# of Students
|VARK (all 4 relatively equal)
|ARK (these top three are relatively equal)
|VR (these top two are relatively equal)
|AR (these top two are relatively equal)
|AK (these top two are relatively equal)
|VAK (these top three are relatively equal)
|RK (these top two are relatively equal)
|VAR (these top three are relatively equal)
|VK (these top two are relatively equal)
|VRK (these top three are relatively equal)
Once you have taken the VARK, and determined your own preference, you can then check out specific suggestions on my Academic Advising Fall-Spring TWEN site. Look for Learning Styles - I have narrated it so you can review it whenever you are interested in learning more.
Bottom line - learn the way you want to learn!
Don't believe everything lawyers tell you about the "secret" of how to do well in law school. There is no easy way to learn the law. Learning legal analysis takes time, intense thinking, many questions, and the input of professors. Don't shortchange this process by thinking that a study aid book - or another student's outline - can replace this process. There is a reason that we suggest "700 hours" as the amount of time you will need each semester to read, take notes, synthesize, outline, learn, and practice writing exams.
Moreover, there are many different kinds of study aids - and they are not created alike. Some are useful to provide context to the topic you are studying. Others might help you organize your thinking prior to outlining. Still others can fill in those "black holes" of missing knowledge that you just didn't understand. In addition, think about your learning preference and what method of delivery feels most comfortable to you. Are you an outline kind of person - or would a visual such as a map or flowchart help more? Do you like review DVDs or even flashcards? Consider all possibilities before you spend money on another book. If you need some help deciding, I have more details in my TWEN presentation on Study Aids and Study Hints. Check it out.
And if you are not sure what might help you - stop by and talk about your needs and what might work best. You might also be able to borrow some from my office for a few weeks to decide what works best for you.
Finding the Holding, Knowing What Is Dicta
What's the difference between holding and dicta? A holding is binding on future courts. Statements of law necessary to reach the result are also part of the court's holding. Other court statements about the law, while important but not necessary to reach the decision, are called dicta. Dictum is never essential to the outcome of that particular case. In fact, "obiter dictum" means "spoken along the side or way," which suggests the nonessential character of the statement. One way to determine if the statements are dicta is to ask yourself: "Did the court rule for/against the plaintiff/defendant because ...." Fill in the blank with the legal statements you are trying to decide are dicta. If it is part of the reasoning for the holding, it will make sense. If not, it is dicta.
As the positive side, however, dictum is often a good predictor how the court may rule in future cases - or to indicate the factual limitations of the holding. Nevertheless, there are differences between the two and you need to remember those distinctions.
Studying well: divide and conquer!
Studying well is the logical result of good preparation and organization. However, you need to make sure you start in sufficient time so that you are not cramming at the end - and that you have time to practice review questions. One way to assure that you can get all that material studied, understood and able to be presented back on an exam answer is to set demonstrable goals. So take one or two minutes to prepare for studying by:
• Establishing measurable goals
• Deciding how you will organize your studying
• Engage in positive self-talk
• Example: "For the next 3 hours I am going to study the enforcement part of my contract outline. By the end of that 3 hour period, I will be able to define each of the various rules, their elements and their relationship to each other."
• Emphasis on concrete terms
• If you don't meet goal - know what you still need to do
Next, decide:
• Where?
People? (where you can discuss concepts periodically), or no people?
Home or library or coffee shop?
• Breaks?
About every 45 minutes - 1 hour, take a "stretching" break
After about three hours, change the focus of your studying
• Total amount of time for this project?
So you know that you have sufficient time
Allows you to get less distracted thinking about when you are stopping
After you have made these preliminary decisions, you may find yourself less inclined to procrastinate until the last few weeks of class.
Collaborative learning through study groups can be useful. One important component of this type of studying, however, is that the learning activity must be focused. In other words, don't go to your weekly study group in contracts with some vague notion of studying "contracts." Instead, try to determine what the focus of the group will be - reviewing the week's notes, organizing the relationship of the current week's topic to the prior rules, etc. Pick a leader to direct the session each week; make an outline of the points to be covered; drop copies of hypotheticals to be discussed in mailboxes on the day prior to the meeting. All of these suggestions can improve the quality of your studying. Preplanning a study session, then, can shorten the length of the group meeting and increase its effective.
Using the Best Way to Learn Material
Students doing practice tests throughout their learning overall perform better than students who do not.
Recently a study from the Purdue University, conducted by Jeffrey D. Karpicke and Janell R. Blunt, indicated that active learning methods can result in a higher degree of learning. Specifically the study indicated that answering practice questions during the entire semester resulted in a better result in their final exam. This proved true even in the early stages of learning. So what does this mean?
Initially it means that staring at an outline or your notes is not the most beneficial methods to learn material. A better way would be to answer questions even if you have not fully committed the information to memory. Start by reading the endnotes in your casebook and attempting to apply what you just recently read. You might also want to fully answer hypos following your classroom discussion. Use study aids - Q and A, Exam Pro, and others - might also help test your knowledge. .
The advantage is two-fold. After you complete writing your answer, you can check to determine what you know - and what you don't know. Moreover, by frequently testing yourself throughout the semester you can gradually build on your basic knowledge of that area of law to a more thorough and complex understanding.
The end result? Practice does make perfect!
Mapquest is the next best thing besides owning a gps system. Type in the addresses and get the directions. Happily you can get the basics (turn right onto to highway 44 - exit at Exit at 102, etc,) if you want. But the real benefit of Mapquest (and gps) is the additional bits of information that keeps you on track (look for this store - if you see this road you have gone to far).
Exam strategy is much like Mapquest. Its focus is to help you maneuver through your exam answer, spotting the necessary issues and nuances. Rather than simply memorizing rules and elements, one of the best ways to learn material is by thinking through what these rules mean within the course and how problems could arise in those areas. Thinking like a lawyer means more than simply reciting rules of law. It's creating a method of how to answer.
So in order to best prepare yourself for the final examination, use your outline to organize your thinking. After going through the basics in your outline, add a section that specifically states how the professor would analyze a problem dealing with that issue. Listen to the questions asked in class and/or incorporate power points or other handouts from class to create this final analytical part of your outline. For an open book exam, this strategy section can become your "prologue" to the rest of your outline.
Need more information? Go to my TWEN (Academic Advising Fall/Spring Workshops) and click on Moving from Outlines to Exam Strategies.
Review Like the Top Ten Percent.
Top ten percentage students sometimes do things differently when they prepare for exams. One suggestion was to study your outline by considering what factual scenario might generate a discussion of that issue or rule. For example, you might envision a situation when a person dies days after an assault, but only because of some rare physical condition. What analysis would that generate regarding premeditation? What would happen if a person were drunk when discussing an offer? Joking? Distracted by some other news? Think of factual settings that might show up on your exam. Figure out now out how to address these problems.
Moreover, recognize the exams are timed. Top students never forget that fact and work to become efficient by deciding how they might economically define the rules and elements - so that they might spend more time discussing what these mean and how they are applied. Success is not measured by a brain dump; rather, you need to work at maximizing the important points effectively. Again, practicing before the exam can hone your exam-taking skills.
So use the professors' Blackboard or TWEN to find exam sample, or go to the Past Exams - Academic Advising on TWEN as a way to generate this process. Looking at questions asked in prior exams is certainly a good way to prepare and to decide what the professors' expectations are.
In addition, the first of the Exam Taking Series, begins this week. This three-part program is scheduled to provide all 1Ls with all necessary information regarding exam taking techniques. So come to Exam Tips for 1Ls on Tuesday, November 1st in room 303 at noon, or Wednesday, November 2nd in room 02 at 6 p.m. and learn the basic process for succeeding on your exams!
Making Sure Your Answers Covers the Issues
Students sometimes make the mistake of not having sufficient analysis in their exam answers. Simply discussing the relevant rule and deciding the answer does not end your inquiry. So in deciding what the issues and rules are, and how you apply them to the examination rules, make sure you also show not only why you decided on your conclusion, but also why the other possibilities were appropriately rejected. So give MORE IRAC to your answer:
Identify the issue first
o Here it's important for you to consider all possible options that the facts of the question may trigger.
o So avoid tunnel vision - think alternatives!
Articulate the rule
o Part of the rule is giving a sufficient explanation
o Ask yourself how do the courts recognize the rule - what factors tend to signify that this rule is being applied (or not)?
Apply the rule - using the facts of your exam question and the rules you just discussed to create analogies and distinctions [by giving the professor MORE]
Main argument
Opposing argument or position
Resolution by
Explaining your reasoning
Conclude - tell who will win and why!
Remember it's not just the answer; it's the process that the professor is looking for in an essay question. Thus connecting words, such as "because" and "under this set of facts," and "in this instance," are vital to making sure you sufficiently explain your conclusions. Answering essay exams is like answering a geometry problem - you need to show your work!
Outlining with Your Professor in Mind
Professors are not cookie cutters and don't present information in the same manner. Equally significant, they write their questions to reflect what they emphasize in a course. So one professor might view criminal law as a way to investigate statutory analysis, using the MPC or other criminal statute as a method to teach how to read, understand and interpret statutes. Another professor might emphasize the comparison of common law to the MPC, with a goal of students understanding how the same topic - murder - has different elements which depend on the source of the underlying law. Still others may have other views, all valid and all seeking to help students apply legal analysis in a certain way.
Your outlining must reflect their focus. You need to always think what the professor wants from you beyond just the black letter law. So keep in mind these theories of why these laws, why this overall general definition that is applicable to the entire body of law in that course, or even why this political, or policy basis for such laws.
Outlining is more than just black letter. Incorporate your professor's voice into your outline so that you will remember to use her approach in your exam writing.

|Cadet Among NFL Leaders
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Thursday, 23 August 2012 12:32
It's been quite a success story for former Mountaineer Travaris Cadet. The former Appalachian State University player, who went undrafted, has nestled his way onto a roster spot in the National Football League. Cadet, who signed a free-agent contract
with the New Orleans Saints, currently leads the NFL in four different categories through games concluded last Sunday in preseason play.
Cadet, a native of Miami, Fla., leads the league in receiving (with 19 receptions), receiving yards (171), all-purpose yards (368) and first downs (11). He caught four passes for 38 yards, he ran three times for 28 yards, and he returned a pair of kick-offs for a 26-yard average (his longest return was for 29 yards last week) in a 27-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Saints (1-2 in preseason play) entertain the Houston Texans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Saturday night at 8 p.m. EDT.
