Denver — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is introducing new materials tailored for American Indians and Alaska Natives, "Take Care of Your Heart: Manage Your Diabetes for Future Generations." The materials, adapted from NDEP's nationwide Be Smart About Your Heart campaign, promote the message that American Indian and Alaska Natives with diabetes can reduce their risk of a heart attack and stroke if they take care of their heart and manage their diabetes by controlling their blood glucose (sugar), blood pressure, and cholesterol. American Indian and Alaska Natives are more than twice as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of similar age. Two out of three Americans with diabetes die of heart disease or stroke and high blood pressure, high cholesterol, current cigarette smoking, and obesity raise the risk of cardiovascular disease even higher.
Dr. Yvette Roubideaux, Chair of NDEP's American Indians and Alaska Natives Work Group and former president of the Association of American Indian Physicians, led the development of the campaign. "We need to let our communities know that we can fight back against diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We can live long and healthy lives by managing our diabetes and reducing our risk of a heart attack or stroke," she said.
The campaign will be launched during the Indian Health Service's (IHS) Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes among American Indians and Alaska Natives conference May 16-19 in Denver. Campaign materials include a motivational tip sheet empowering American Indian and Alaska Natives to keep track of their blood glucose (sugar), blood pressure, and cholesterol numbers. Promotional materials include a print PSA, and a small colorful poster.
"This campaign provides those hardest hit by this growing epidemic with consumer-friendly materials and practical advice to manage diabetes and its serious, deadly complications." said Dr. James R. Gavin III, chair of the National Diabetes Education Program.
All people with diabetes should take action by asking their health care provider what their blood glucose (sugar), blood pressure and cholesterol numbers are, what they should be, and what actions they should take to reach those target numbers. Blood glucose (sugar), as measured by the A1C test, should be checked at least twice a year. Blood pressure should be checked at each visit and cholesterol should be tested at least once a year. For most people with diabetes, the goals are A1C below 7, blood pressure below 130/80, and LDL cholesterol below 100.
For more information about the campaign, including tip sheets, posters, and print ads, visit the NDEP website at www.ndep.nih.gov. To order free copies of the materials, call 1-800-438-5383.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Diabetes Education Program is jointly sponsored by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Diabetes Translation. The program involves more than 200 public and private sector partners who work at the national, state, and local level.

Legislator fined over campaign filings
The state Campaign Spending Commission has fined state Rep. Karen Awana (D, Kalaeloa-Nanakuli) $1,900 for errors in filing campaign-spending reports.
The commission found Wednesday that Awana, who won re-election last year, failed to file and filed late reports on five occasions.
Last month the commission fined state Rep. Mele Carroll (D, Lanai-Molokai) more than $2,600 for not filing six campaign-spending reports by the reporting deadlines. Carroll was also re-elected last year.
New law tougher on would-be johns
Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie has signed into law a measure that targets people who solicit prostitutes near schools or parks.
The legislation makes it a misdemeanor to offer or agree to pay a fee to another person for the purpose of sexual conduct within 750 feet of a school or public park.
A misdemeanor comes with a maximum sentence of one year imprisonment and a $2,000 fine.
Previously, the crime was considered a petty misdemeanor, with imprisonment up to 30 days and a mandatory $500 fine.
Horse owner faces trial for cruelty
LIHUE >> The owner of 16 underfed horses confiscated by the Kauai Humane Society is to stand trial this month on charges of animal cruelty.
The case against Lara Butler-Brady moves forward more than a year after the horses were taken from land she rented, the Garden Island newspaper reported Thursday. Most of the horses confiscated on May 30, 2010, were thin or emaciated, Becky Rhoades, former executive director of the Humane Society, testified at a hearing.
"I think she should go to jail," she said. "I think it's criminal what happened. It's one of the saddest sights I've ever seen."
Circuit Judge Randal Valenciano denied a motion earlier this week to suppress evidence gathered when the horses were taken from the Wailua Falls area.
185 cited in seat belt campaign
More than 180 drivers in Maui County were issued citations during the Click It Or Ticket campaign.
From May 23 to June 5, officers from all Maui districts concentrated on drivers and passengers not wearing their seat belts and not properly restraining their children. A total of 185 citations were issued during the two-week campaign.
Click It or Ticket is a national campaign focused on proper seat belt use. Hawaii law requires drivers and passengers in the front seat to fasten their seat belts. Passengers riding in the back seat must buckle up if they are 17 years old or younger.

We never thought we'd say this, but it may be time to dust off the flat iron that's hiding under your bathroom sink. We've talked about the return of pin-straight locks before—thanks mainly to '90s minimalism on the runway—but the latest rendition is the freshest take we've seen! Sleek and shiny with a sharp part, this version is brushed off the shoulders and sprayed in place with a heavy dose of hairspray. Seen last fall on Theyskens' Theory's runway, then this spring on models at shows like Dries Van Noten, it's Hollywood's newest red carpet favorite. Click through our slideshow to see how Kate Mara, Sandra Bullock, and more are wearing the look.
9 Reasons Why It's Time to Dust Off Your Flat Iron
- 1 of 14
Kate Mara
After she chopped her locks, but before she bleached them, the actress attended the Emmy Awards with her strands smoothly pushed behind her ears. Hairstylist Alex Polollo applied Vidal Sassoon's Pro Series Mega Firm Hold Gel ($5) to Mara's wet locks before blow-drying for a smooth finish.
- 2 of 14
Drew Barrymore
Barrymore paired this sleek style with bold lipstick, this season's version of the slicked back bun and bright lip.
- 3 of 14
Sandra Bullock
You'll need serious shine to cop Bullock's locks at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Try John Frieda's new weekly Colour Refreshing Gloss ($12): apply after conditioner, leave for three minutes, and rinse.
- 4 of 14
Ashley Madekwe
Madekwe used Shu Uemura's Nourishing Protective Oil ($69) for shine, then L'Oreal's Elnett Hairspray ($12) for hold, at a pre-Golden Globes party in Los Angeles.
- 5 of 14
Jessica Alba
Hairstylist Robert Ramos gave Alba's sleek and shiny tresses a sharp middle part for the People's Choice Awards.
- 6 of 14
Sarah Hyland
Hairstylist Ryan Richman flat-ironed Hyland's locks for the L.A. premiere of her film Vampire Academy, then applied a dime-size amount of Oribe's Rough Luxury Molding Wax ($35) on her hairline and crown for hold and shine.
- 7 of 14
Karolina Kurkova
Sleek and pushed back is one of Kurkova's favorite styles on the red carpet, this time at a gala in Switzerland.
- 8 of 14
Allison Williams
Williams wore her locks pin-straight and glossy at the Golden Globes last month. Keep your strands in place and cop her shiny finish with a glossing hairspray like Aussie's Dual Personality Hi Shine + Hi Hold ($4).
- 9 of 14
Elizabeth Olsen
The most lived in rendition on our list, Olsen wore her long locks tucked behind her ears to the L.A. premiere of her film In Secret last week.
- 10 of 14
John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss ($12)
- 11 of 14
Shu Uemura Nourishing Protective Oil ($69)
- 12 of 14
Aussie Dual Personality Hi Shine + Hi Hold ($4)
- 13 of 14
Oribe Rough Luxury Molding Wax ($35)
- 14 of 14
L'Oreal Elnett Hairspray ($12)

Arabian Sex Tourism
by Daniel Pipes
Translations of this item:
Indian media have been publishing exposés documenting the foul behavior of Gulf Arabs in the southern Indian town of Hyderabad. "Fly-by-night bridegrooms" by R Akhileshwari in the Deccan Herald and "One minor girl, many Arabs" by Mohammed Wajihuddin in the Times of India are two important examples. Wajihuddin sets the stage:
(I have silently corrected some typos). Wajihuddin then specifies the problem:
The Arabs usually "marry" the girls for short periods, sometimes just a single night. In fact, Wajihuddin reports, marriage and divorce formalities are often prepared at the same time, thereby expediting the process for all involved. Akhileshwari notes that "their girl children are available for as little as 5,000 rupees to satisfy the lust of doddering old Arab men." Five thousand rupees, by the way, equals just a bit over US$100.
An Indian television program recently reported on a show-casing of eight prospective brides, most of them minors, at which they were offered up to their Arab suitors. "It resembled a brothel. The girls were paraded before the Arab who would lift the girls' burqa, run his fingers through their hair, gaze at their figures and converse through an interpreter," recalls one of Nishat's assistants.
Wajihuddin also offers a specific case history:
So much for that "marriage."
For their part, Muslim politicians in the city of Hyderabad apparently could care less. "It's not on the poll agenda of any politician," says Mazhar Hussain, director of a social welfare organization, the Confederation of Voluntary Associations. The Majlis-e-Ittihadul Muslameen, the main party of Hyderabad's Muslims, is blissfully unconcerned: "You cannot deny that the fortunes of many families have changed through such marriages," MIM's president, Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi, cheerfully points out.
(1) Ironically, the girls thus proffered appear all to be Muslim – no Hindus or others need apply.
(2) The behavior of Arabs in India in some way parallels that of Japanese and Westerners in Thailand, with the notable difference that the Indian case involves marriage, an emphasis on virginity, and local authorities seemingly pleased with providing their minor girls for sex tourism.
(3) Arabian sex tourism is not exclusive to India but also takes place in other poor countries.
(4) This trade in persons is merely one dimension of a problem that prevails through Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states (for another dimension, see "Saudis Import Slaves to America").
(5) Concubinage, forced labor, indentured servitude, slavery – these deep problems are nowhere near being addressed in the Gulf region, much less solved. Indeed, one prominent Saudi theologian has gone so far as to state that "Slavery is a part of Islam" and whoever says it should be abolished "is an infidel." So long as such attitudes can be articulated publicly, without censure, abuses are certain to continue.
(6) The hypocrisy of this trade is perhaps its vilest aspect. Better prostitution, frankly acknowledged, than religiously-sanctioned fake marriages, for the former is understood to be a vice while the latter parades as a virtue.
(7) Wajihuddin compares the Arabian men to "medieval monarchs" and the analogy is apt. These transactions, involving Muslim minors and conducted under the auspices of Islamic law, point yet again to the dominance of premodern ways in the Muslim world and the urgent need to modernize the Islamic religion.
Oct. 7, 2005 update: A bibliography of my writings on "Sex and gender relations" provides background to the problem described here. See especially "Female Desire and Islamic Trauma."
Oct. 8, 2005 update: See my weblog entry, "Arabian Sex Tourism Updated," for more recent information pertaining to this topic.

Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake did well to start the Western Conference Championship series on the right foot, scoring four-straight goals en route to beating the Portland Timbers 4-2 at Rio Tinto Stadium on Sunday night.
We all know that the Claret-and-Cobalt's two-goal advantage heading into the series' second leg at JELD-WEN Field next Sunday, Nov. 24 is a big leg-up, even against a team as tough as the Timbers. Just how big of an advantage is that two-goal lead? Let's take a historical look:
Since MLS shifted away from the best-of-three series and began using the two-legged aggregate goal format in 2003, a team has taken a two-goal aggregate lead into a series' second leg nine times. The team with the two-goal advantage has advanced to the next round seven of those nine times, losing the two-goal lead and falling out of the playoffs on two occasions.
Teams that take a two-goal lead in the first leg at home and then play the second leg on the road have advanced to the next round three times and lost the series twice.
Interestingly, San Jose was involved in both of the series' in which the team with a two-goal lead after the first leg was eliminated from the playoffs. The Quakes made the first such comeback in 2003, losing the first leg 2-0 at LA before moving onto the next round with an improbable 5-2 win over the Galaxy after extra time. San Jose wasn't so lucky the next year, taking a 2-0 first leg lead over Kansas City before dropping the series following a 3-2 loss at the Wizards in the decisive second leg.
History is clearly on RSL's side. Of course, that doesn't mean much with the second leg in Portland, where the Timbers have gone a sterling 14-1-5 in MLS regular season, MLS Cup Playoff and U.S. Open Cup action this year. We'll see how it plays out at JELD-WEN Field in 10 days' time.
MLSsoccer.com's Ben Jata published on Tuesday an in-depth study of the league's 50 most accurate passers in 2013, and – surprise, surprise – Real Salt Lake was very well represented, with five players making the top-30.
Defender Nat Borchers (No. 2), midfielder Ned Grabavoy (No. 3), midfielder Yordany Alvarez (No. 12), midfielder Javier Morales (No. 29) and midfielder Kyle Beckerman (No. 30) all made the list from RSL. Beckerman and Morales both got additional plaudits in the article, with Beckerman getting recognized for leading MLS in passes attempted and successful passes and Morales earning praise for leading the league in passes attempted in the opponents' half and successful passes in the opponents' half.
Click here to read the entire piece. It's an interesting read – definitely worth the time.
ABC 4's Real Sports Live aired another "Crossbar Challenge" segment on Sunday night, with RSL color commentator Brian Dunseth taking on American soccer legend Alexi Lalas at Rio Tinto Stadium.
While Dunny and Alexi struggled a bit to hit the bar, their interview was right on the mark, touching on a wide range of topics from the early days of MLS to where American soccer stands today. Check out the must-watch interview above.
Real Salt Lake got the Western Conference Championship series off to a good start on Sunday night, toppling the Portland Timbers 4-2 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Here are a few interesting numbers from Sunday's win:
Sunday's game was the first Sunday home game in Real Salt Lake's nine-year history. Despite the unique nature of a Sunday home game in Utah and the short turnaround following last Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal second leg win over LA, RSL fans came out in full force on Sunday night, with 17,333 raucous supporters filling Rio Tinto Stadium to near capacity.
With Sunday's victory, RSL broke Portland's 10-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. The Timbers' last loss prior to Sunday also came against the Claret-and-Cobalt, with RSL topping the Cascadia side by an identical 4-2 score line on Aug. 30 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Sunday's win extended RSL's unbeaten streak over Portland to nine games in all competitions. The Claret-and-Cobalt is 6-1-3 all-time against the Timbers, posting a 3-0-2 record against the Oregon side in MLS and Open Cup play in 2013. Of the Timbers seven defeats in all competitions in 2013, three of them have been against RSL.
Real Salt Lake defender Chris Schuler scored in the 35th minute of Sunday's win, heading home a Javier Morales corner kick to tie the game 1-1. It was the second goal in as many games for Schuler, who volleyed home a Morales set piece in extra time of Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal second leg win over LA. Prior to Thursday's match, the 26-year-old Schuler had two goals in his entire career.
RSL's four goal output on Sunday night gave the Claret-and-Cobalt 13 goals in five meetings against Portland in all competitions this year. That's good for 2.6 goals per game – or 1.62 goals per game higher than Portland's 0.97 regular season goals against average.
RSL maestro Javier Morales had a goal and two assists last night, giving him three goals and three assists in four games against the Timbers this season. Morales has one goal and three assist for RSL this postseason. He is one of nine different RSL players to score against Portland this year and one of seven different RSL players to notch an assist over the Timbers this season.
Portland has been fantastic at home this season, posting a 14-1-5 mark at JELD-WEN Field in regular season, playoff and Open Cup action. The Timbers' lone home loss came all the way back on March 9, when they fell to Montreal in just their second home game of the season. While Portland has been dominant at home, RSL has acquitted itself nicely at JELD-WEN Field. The Claret-and-Cobalt went 0-0-2 in Portland this season and were the only team to take two positive results out of Oregon this season. RSL is 1-1-2 all-time at Portland.

#MLS4RSL #Believe
Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jason Kreis was asked in his press conference following Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal win over LA what the Rio Tinto Stadium crowd needs to bring in Sunday's Western Conference Championship first leg against Portland.
Here's what he had to say:
"I think for me it's pretty simple. We need to be here early – there needs to be that really raucous singing of the song "Believe" at the beginning of the match. I thought that was spectacular today how noisy it was. And just to carry that energy and to continue to believe. We tell our players all the time that no matter what happens in the game, we continue to work hard, we continue to stay together and we continue to believe. If you do those three things, something in the end will happen right."
Listen to the man. Get your tickets now.
LA Galaxy trends toward a less creative midfield, and even from the flanks this is largely the case. This provides a platform for three or four attacking players to showcase their abilities in tonight's Western Conference Semifinal second leg, and when your primary attacking pair is Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane, there's plenty of that. But with the opponent in a more defensive midfield, RSL will have an opportunity to utilize their creative midfield to attempt a breakthrough.
Midfield creativity
Javier Morales will look toward finding the gaps between the midfield and the defense, which inevitably pushes back the LA Galaxy midfield a bit too as they attempt to cover his movement. This opens up space in other places, which proves vital. He'll also be important for set pieces, but our reluctancy to capitalize on set pieces won't help us there. He may instead look to go directly at goal with free kicks, and who could blame him? He's scored some screamers.
Sebastian Velasquez is likely to step into Ned Grabavoy's spot on the left, and this will give him room to make diagonal runs to and away from the flanks. He'll need to capitalize in spaces vacated by Morales as he embarks on runs with and without the ball.
Luis Gil will be tasked with a bit more defensive work than usual in Grabavoy's absence, but he too will need to embark on runs. With Tony Beltran to his right, he'll be involved in plenty of interchanges with the fullback as they look to move the ball forward from the right.
Balanced play
Kyle Beckerman will need to be as aware as ever but eminently willing to capitalize on opportunities to break forward. His passing is never in question, and that'll be vital tonight.
Tony Beltran, as above, will need to work with Luis Gil on the right flank to move the ball forward, but he'll also need to make those overlapping runs on the right side to be effective. But beyond that, he'll have to be ready to burst back in defense. He showed incredibly well against Landon Donovan last weekend, and he'll almost surely have to do so again.
Chris Schuler will, with any luck, not be forced into so many last-ditch tackles and clearances. Instead, we'll be hoping for some balance from Schuler as he steps forward to make an interception before splaying the ball to a full back.
Attacking options
Alvaro Saborio pushes the side forward in important ways, but his biggest role will be in helping the midfield transition into the attack. It's a role that is masked by his goalscoring contributions (which are equally important and follow as a result of this play) — his distributive properties may not lead to high-percentage passing, but he is a chance creator.
His mystery partner remains in question. Robbie Findley offers speed, which is an obviously important factor, but he also offers a willingness to track back and at pace. Joao Plata, on the other hand, offers more finesse in attack but less counterattacking opportunity. In most factors, they end up at about sixes. Olmes Garcia offers a more mysterious option, but it's hard to see him starting, as he hasn't made the bench for the last few matches.

Seriously, no one wants another LA-Houston MLS Cup.
RSL can nip that potential matchup in the bud by advancing past the Galaxy in Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal second leg. Get out to Rio Tinto Stadium early, wear red and be loud.
#MLS4RSL #Believe
Real Salt Lake will be without one of its most prominent players in Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal second leg, as midfielder Ned Grabavoy will miss the match due to a left hamstring strain picked up in Sunday's 1-0 first leg loss at LA.
RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis told media on Wednesday that Grabavoy will not play due to the injury. The veteran midfielder left Sunday's match in the 61st minute after picking up the knock earlier in the match.
Grabavoy had a career year in the 2013 regular season, scoring five goals and tallying five assists in 32 appearances - 29 of which were starts - for the Claret-and-Cobalt. Look for Sebastian Velasquez to be a candidate to replace Grabavoy in the starting lineup on Thursday.

Community groups and organizations looking to jumpstart a business, improve a park or start a program or project were eligible to apply for grants up to $500,000. Horse Racing Industry Got $242 Million From Slot Machines In 2014 By Michael Lynch & Kaye Burnet • May 4, 2015 The Pennsylvania horse racing industry received more than $242 million from slot machine revenue in 2014, but interest in the sport is waning, according to an annual report released Tuesday by the Gaming Control Board. Last year, 11 percent of the $2.3 billion generated by slot machines went to the Pennsylvania Horse Development Fund, which establishes racing prizes, in-state breeding incentives, as well as health and pension benefits for horsemen and their families. Slot Machine Revenue Up in December, Down in 2014 By Michael Lynch • Jan 6, 2015 Despite a bump in December, Pennsylvania's slot machine revenues were down nearly 3 percent in 2014. According to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, nearly all of the state's 12 casinos experienced growth in slot revenue last month, with the exception of Rivers Casino, which saw a .16 percent drop in revenue compared to December 2013. PA Casinos See Drop in February Revenue By Jessica Nath • Mar 18, 2014 While the overall casino revenue for February decreased 5 percent, the Pennsylvania table games had a bit more luck. Table games at the commonwealth's 12 casinos grossed $57.1 million this year — a 3.25 percent increase over February 2013. However, Richard McGarvey, Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board spokesman, said this increase is not that impressive at second glance. PA Casinos Suffer Revenue Hit Despite Table Games By Deanna Garcia & Associated Press • Jan 17, 2014 Revenue from Pennsylvania's 12 casinos dipped 1.4 percent in 2013 to $3.1 billion. That's the first time the industry has experienced an overall decline in revenue since casino play began in 2006. "We saw a little up, we saw a little down," said Doug Harbach, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. "Table games continue to be a growing segment. We saw their revenue go up around 6 percent. A slight decrease in slot machines, but that's not unexpected." Pennsylvania Casinos Continue to Build Diverse Workforce By Deanna Garcia • Sep 18, 2013 The sixth annual Gaming Diversity Report from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board shows the number of minorities working in casinos continues to grow. Statewide, 31 percent of the 16,644 casino employees are minorities. That's up slightly from last year's 30 percent. Diversity also continues to grow among management, executive and professional positions. "This year we have 2,733 individuals; 63 percent are males, 37 percent are females and 21 percent are minorities, which is a good number," said Mozelle Daniels, director of diversity for the Gaming Control Board. Slot Machine Revenue Smaller Last Month than February 2012 By Noah Brode • Mar 5, 2013 Alan Alfaro/Flickr Pennsylvanians and tourists pulled the slots levers fewer times last month than in February of 2012, according to a report from the state's Gaming Control Board. Of the ten Pennsylvania casinos operating in both months, revenue was 11.5% lower this year. Even counting a casino that opened last March, Valley Forge Casino Resort, the state's income fell 9.2% to $196 million. Gaming Control Board spokesman Richard McGarvey said the decrease probably resulted from a few contributing factors.

Foundation of Windkracht Wieringermeer consortium
Nuon (along with 27 farmers), Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) and the Vereniging van Windturbine-eigenaren Noord-Holland, groep Wieringermeer (VWNH) have founded the 'Windkracht Wieringermeer' consortium. These three parties own the existing wind turbines in the municipality of Wieringermeer. The aim of this consortium is to implement the Wieringermeer wind power plan that is being drawn up under the leadership of the municipality of Wieringermeer.
By setting up 'Windkracht Wieringermeer' the parties have specifically chosen each other. The guiding principle is to respect each other's interests, thus safeguarding the quality of life of the polder. The organisations will jointly carry out surveys and preliminary studies such as drawing up the environmental impact report, the input into the electricity grid and economic feasibility studies. They also intend working on the opportunities for participation by residents of the municipality of Wieringermeer.
Expanding ECN's test farm
The municipality of Wieringermeer gave the green light for drawing up the wind power plan last year, together with the Province of Noord-Holland and the Ministry of VROM. The plan consists of restructuring the existing solitary wind turbines, expanding the existing wind turbine test farm of ECN and upscaling the Nuon wind turbines, which are in a single-line layout.
The aim is to increase the current installed capacity of 106 megawatts to approximately 200 - 400 megawatts. That is sufficient to supply green power to 160,000 - 320,000 households every year. Consequently, the Wieringermeer wind power plan would contribute towards the government's target of generating 20% of the electricity needs from renewable sources in 2020.

Mercedes-Benz at a Beijing car show. (Photo/Xinhua)
Mercedes-Benz is facing challenges as it saw lower than expected sales in China last year and reports weaker performance than competitors. Three senior executives at the company have been moved or have resigned as the company rethinks its strategy in the giant market, the state-owned China News Net reports.
Dieter Zetsche, chairman of Daimler AG and head of its subsidiary Mercedes-Benz, said that in competition with Audi and BMW, it could take the lead by 2020, but was unlikely to show signs of a turnaround this year. "On the other hand, if we still lag far behind our rivals in 2019, we are unlikely to stand in the front rank by 2020," Zetsche said at a recent industry fair in Detroit.
Some media reports have said the company has held talks with the state-owned Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co (BAIC), a holding company for several of the nation's carmakers. This would help further the integration of Mercedes-Benz's sales channels in the country and entail a significant management reshuffle. It is also expected to participate in BAIC's IPO plan through acquiring a 10-20% stake in the company.
In addition, Daimler and BAIC have set up a joint venture to manage sales. The former's German headquarters will name someone to sit on the new organization's board of directors.
Before 2015 Mercedes-Benz plans roll out 20 new and remodeled lines and expand its network of dealers across the country, growing the number of cities it has a presence in from roughly 100 to 200. It hopes to sell 300,000 units annually by 2015, 70% of which will be produced in locally.
Klaus Maier, former president of Mercedes-Benz China, and Bjorn Hauber, executive vice president of sales and marketing, were moved back to Germany late last year, Cai Gongming, vice president of sales also recently announced his resignation. Weak sales in China last year are believed to be the catalyst for the departure of the senior executives.
Figures show that the firm sold 1.32 million cars in 2012, including 196,211 in China, which represented only a 1.5% annual growth. In comparison, Audi sold 405,800 cars in the country last year, a nearly 30% year-on-year growth. BMW sold 326,400 vehicles - a more than 40% increase from a year earlier.

I was supposed to be in Alaska for some heliskiing and photography but unfortunately the worst drought since 30 years led to a massive lack of snow and so my friends and me decided to postpone this trip to 2012. Within minutes my focus switched again from deep powder runs to bouldering. I immediately found myself back in the gym training my ass off and trying to get in shape for the long awaited Easter holidays. After a nasty sinusitis and a week of Antibiotics I only had one and a half weeks left to transform those weak finger tendons into steel cables and get them ready for some action in Magic Wood / Switzerland.
A quicky in Magic Wood - The Riverbed - Tobias Haller
The main goal for this short trip was to take revenge on the "The Riverbed" / V13 that threw me off at the very very end about a year ago. Since then I didn't get another chance to try it, so psyche was high to finally get this ultra-classic done. I quickly figured out all the moves again and had a couple of reasonable attempts on this 25-move power endurance beauty, unfortunately I didn't come super close to sending it on any of my attempts the first day and I decided to save some skin and power for the second day, I then turned my attention to a nice BBQ and beer next to a warming campfire.
I started the next day with a flash of "Small Jack" / V9, a perfect semi-highball with some of the nicest holds you will find in Magic Wood. If you're capable to climb this grade and got a few pads at your disposal make sure to get on this thing. Motivation was high to get back on "The Riverbed". I cruised through the roof and quickly found myself climbing around the corner towards the jugs where I had previously punted. However, once again I was really pumped and fell off at the very end going to a big crimp one could almost call a jug. This was the same move I fell off 2 years before and I was very pissed to drop the 25th move again. I decided to rest for 20 minutes and give it one more go. This time I kept it together, stuck that final move and somehow managed to drag my tired body up that exiting slab to sign into summit log book. It's safe to say I'm not in route climbing shape right now. :)

Note: This post is also part of a work in progress.
Twenty years ago, defining Mormon
literature was a weightier matter, but I sense that it is no
longer a major point of susceptibility in Mormon literature studies. Granted, Mormon
critics cannot allow the definition debate to atrophy—doing so would be debilitating—but
they also cannot let it impose upon the current weightier matters of Mormon
literature studies, particularly the development of critical reading strategies
and focused analyses of individual Mormon literary texts. In these two areas, I
see Mormon literature studies' greatest shortage; while they are certainly not
the only weightier matters in the field, they are the two that I encounter most
whenever I begin research on a Mormon novel or short story. In fact, I often
find it frustrating that Mormons have such a rich body of imaginative works,
extending back nearly two hundred years, but very few critical works that take
the analysis of Mormon literature beyond the scope of the average book review. It
is not as if Mormon literature studies lack the necessary infrastructure. The first generation of Mormon literature critics has already
laid adequate groundwork to support more in-depth analyses of Mormon creative
work. Moreover, journals like Sunstone,
Dialogue, Irreantum, Exponent II, and
BYU Studies, not to mention many
non-Mormon journals focused on religion and literature, offer themselves as
potential venues for Mormon literary criticism. Websites like A Motley Vision and Dawning of a Brighter Day, likewise, give Mormon literature critics
space to exchange ideas and debate, and professional conferences, like the
annual meeting of the Association for Mormon Letters, exist to encourage the production,
discussion, and analysis of Mormon texts. Even the texts themselves, though
hampered by popular misconceptions about the quality and sophistication of
Mormon literature, exhibit an artistry and complexity that practically beg for
more extended explication and engaging analysis. Clearly, the origin of this
problem, this shortage, lies elsewhere. It is itself a weightier matter.
I do not presume to have a definitive explanation for why longer, more focused analyses of individual Mormon literary texts are not happening. It could be lack of
interest in Mormon literature, but that seems a partial explanation at best.
Nor do I think the blame falls upon the editors of the journals where these
critical works are most likely to find a home. In fact, an editor of a Mormon
journal recently told me that works of Mormon literary criticism are rare only
because so few are submitted. Could it be, then, that the problem is a lack of
committed critics? This seems more likely. Literary criticism that seeks to
engage texts beyond the scope of a book review can be a difficult, time
consuming task, especially when the existing body of Mormon literary criticism
about individual texts is so small. Critics who want to write about Levi
Peterson's The Backslider or an Orson
Scott Card novel, to be sure, have a fair amount of existing criticism to build
upon and engage, but such is not the case, say, for critics who want to explore
David Clark's The Death of a Disco
Dancer, Jack Harrell's Vernal
Promises, or a poem from Fire in the
Pasture. These critics, in a sense, must work from scratch as they take
upon themselves the daunting responsibility of getting the critical
conversation going. Aiding them in this process, of course, are the
conventional tools of literary analysis they learns in school, like close
reading and critical theory, but reading strategies specifically honed for
Mormon literary texts are comparatively few and not always readily accessible.
Mormon literature studies can be a frustrating endeavor, especially for
beginners and non-Mormon scholars looking for a way into the critical conversation.

Thoughts on the Definition of Mormon Literature
Note: This is part of a work in progress. I welcome your thoughts on it.
"As with most critical projects," writes Michael Austin, "the success of Mormon literary criticism rises or falls with our definitions—and, in particular, our definition of "Mormon Literature" (136). Yet, Mormon literary criticism proceeds—in a manner of speaking—without a clear notion of what makes certain texts "Mormon." Austin, to be sure, has suggested that we keep the definition as open as possible; indeed, in his foundational essay "The Function of Mormon Literary Criticism at the Present Time," he orders "Mormon" texts into five categories that range from the narrow—"Books by Mormons Written to Primarily Mormon Audiences"—to the ecumenical—"Books by Mainstream Authors (not about Mormons)" (137, 142). The implication, of course, is that all text are potentially Mormon depending on what the critic does with them—a gesture that takes the responsibility for producing Mormon literature off the shoulders of the artist and places it squarely on those of his or her interpreter. As a critic myself, I find this line of thinking attractive because it elevates me to the status of creator. At the same time, however, I worry that it is too broad, too generous, and even too presumptuous. Not only does it take some of the shine off of texts deliberately written as Mormon literature by writers who deliberately identify themselves as authors of Mormon literature, but it also seems to authorize a kind of project of textual colonization. Hawthorne, true enough, mentions the Mormon prophet in The Blithedale Romance, but would he want his book labeled "Mormon" even if such labeling were accompanied by persuasive justification?
To some extent, of course, all literary criticism smacks of colonialism; yet, I don't think much is gained when we seize any text that comes our way and call it "Mormon literature"—even if we feel we have "good" reasons for doing so. In an age when "I'm a Mormon" has become a not only a statement of personal identity, but also a rally cry of cultural affiliation, I would like "Mormon" to mean something, to be more than an arbitrary label. Of course, I am not willing to argue, as Richard H. Cracroft does in his 1992 essay "Attuning the Authentic Mormon Voice: Stemming the Sophic Tide in LDS Literature," that "real" Mormon literature exudes a kind of Mormon essence—some "ethereal but real, ineffable but inevitable spiritual analogues and correspondences that convey Mormon realities." But I am willing to grant that Mormon literature has something unique about it, something that separates it from other literatures, even though that "something" might prove endlessly slippery. One might follow Candadai Seshachari in thinking of the "something" not as a "Mormon essence," but as "Mormon experience." Indeed, in his 1978 essay "Insight from the Outside: From a Commentator's Note Pad," Seshachari argues that it is precisely through their "unique experience" as Mormons that Mormon writers "probe and define the complexities of the human condition." "This experience," he suggests,
defines [their] being. If one takes away from [them] the memory of the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, the tragedy and the heroism of the exodus of [their] ancestors, as well as the everyday details that made Zion happen, it is like blotting out the story of Christ from a Christian's consciousness, or like rooting out the fact of slavery from the racial memory of the American black. (90-91)
"Mormonness," therefore, is not something one is born with, but rather something one inherits and somehow uses to understand the world. In a sense, then, Mormon literature is a product of this inheritance, an expression of its effect on the artists who choose not to bury it in the sand. Such a perspective, I think, reins in the definition without doing away with the slipperiness that may turn out to be the lifeblood of future Mormon literature studies. After all, while it may exclude works like The Blithedale Romance from the Mormon literary canon, it greets with open arms texts like Brady Udall's The Lonely Polygamist and Therese Doucet's A Lost Argument, two novels that draw upon the broad Mormon experience while rejecting, in a sense, its more mainstream manifestations.

For many Latter-day Saints, Joseph Smith's history ends on the day he was martyred in 1844. After that, the story of Mormonism is the story of Brigham Young and the pioneers: wagons, handcarts, crickets, seagulls. If Joseph Smith ever has part in this story, it's as a spirit in a dream.
Mahonri Stewart's The Fading Flower—recently published, along with Stewart's Swallow the Sun, by Zarahemla Books—seeks to change this. Focusing on Smith's widow, Emma, and their five children, the play provides a counterpoint to the rote myths and legends of the pioneer era, examining, among other things, how those who knew Smith best sought to shape his legacy for the next generation. At the center of this struggle is David Hyrum Smith, the prophet's youngest son, who never knew his father and spent twenty-seven years of his life in an insane asylum. His descent into madness, spurred by his mother's fierce refusal to acknowledge the truth about her husband's involvement with polygamy, gives the play its emotion and tragedy. More familiar historical figures, like Brigham Young and Joseph F. Smith, help give context to the play's action for readers less familiar with this side of Mormon history.
The Fading Flower begins sometime in the 1860s. Joseph Smith III, David's oldest brother, is assuming leadership over the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In Utah, Brigham Young is preaching against them and their mother. Latter-day Saint missionaries like cousins Joseph F. Smith and Samuel Harrison Bailey Smith pay regular visits to the Smith family. Tensions between the two faith groups are high, and as the play progresses, David becomes caught between them. Along with his brothers, he serves missions to Utah, where he comes under the influence of Amasa Lyman, a backsliding apostle, and learns the truth about his father's polygamous marriages from the former wives themselves.
A sensitive soul with a strong desire for truth, David seeks to reconstruct his father's past, but finds troubling his mother's and older brother's efforts to keep that past a secret. Like Hamlet, his quest for knowledge is not without its consequences. In fact, one of David's strengths as a character is his determination to discover the truth no matter the cost. It is one of many attributes that set him apart from Joseph Smith III, who is a far more complex and conflicted character, but one who is much less endearing. If David is this play's Hamlet, then Joseph Smith III is its Claudius.
But, really, a comparison between this play and Hamlet works only so far. The Fading Flower is ultimately about love and not revenge. The Smith family is bound together by the marked absence of a loved one, Joseph Smith, whose life—now in shadows—has significant bearing on how each character conducts his or her life. This also is the case for the play's Utah characters, reminding readers that the martyrdom not only deprived a people of its prophet, but also fractured a family of believers. In Brigham Young and Emma Smith, we see a pair of feuding siblings; in Joseph Smith III and Joseph F. Smith we see—quite literally—rival cousins; in David and Eliza R. Snow, one of his father's former plural wife, we see what could have been a wonderful mother-son relationship. Indeed, one of the most poignant moments in the play comes when Eliza, recalling days before the animosity between the groups, reads David a poem she wrote for him when he was born. Afterwards, a rare moment of kindness and honesty unfolds:
Eliza: I . . . I know people think I'm severe, sometimes even cold. But my heart is tender, David, and it has a very warm place for you.
David: If this principle is wrong, may God cleanse you, for you truly are beautiful women.
Eliza: And if it's right?
David: Then may God not let it destroy us. (68)
Perhaps the tragedy of The Fading Flower, then, is not so much what happens to David, but rather what happens to the followers of Joseph Smith after they are no longer able to rely on the anchor of his faith and leadership. In this play, Joseph Smith III and Brigham Young are competent prophets, but neither is the Prophet. Both depend upon their memory of Joseph Smith, as well as their interpretation of his legacy, for legitimacy and authority, and that mantle weighs heavily upon them. "Don't you see?" Joseph Smith III says at one point. "[…] Father's Church and his name are now both literally mine. Whatever tarnishes Father's Church tarnishes my Church, and whatever tarnishes Father's name tarnishes my name!" (98).
Clearly, Joseph Smith haunts this play, and he in fact makes appearances as a kind of ghostly figure who returns as an unseen reminder of who he really was. In my opinion, it is one of the weaknesses of an otherwise excellent play. I've never seen The Faded Flower performed, so I readily acknowledge that Stewart's use of Smith might work better on stage than on paper, but I found the ghostly presence distracting. I wonder, that is, how the play might work if Joseph Smith were physically absent from it. Would that help to enhance its themes of absence, doubt, and dislocation? Would it situate the play more ambiguously in respect to truth and error? Or, does his presence bring in a necessary element of love and compassion?
As I mentioned earlier, The Fading Flower has been published together with Stewart's Swallow the Sun, a play about C.S. Lewis' conversion to Christianity. Lacking Mormon characters, this second work is somewhat lighter in tone—Stewart seems to have a knack for subtle comedy—and has great potential to reach a broader audience, although I personally found it less interesting than The Fading Flower. Not because it is a bad play—in fact, it might be the better written of the two—but because I'm drawn to work like The Fading Flower that uncover previously untold stories from Mormon history. I think Mormon literature need works that probe these unseen corners of the Mormon past, works that try, like David, to get at the truth behind the mysteries and obscurities—or go mad in the attempt.
For more about The Fading Flower and Swallow the Sun read my recent interview with Mahonri Stewart.
NOTE: I received a complimentary review copy of The Fading Flower and Swallow the Sun from the publisher.

Yea! Quite exciting news… Really informative. Thanks a lot man for sharing.
One of the much touted advantages of Firefox (and also Google chrome) is that you can easily enhance its functionality by downloading and installing what are known as extensions or add-ons.
Yes, it is true that Firefox has a very large repository of extensions. The newly introduced browser Google Chrome has also a growing add-on database and has some good extensions that Firefox misses.
If you wish to install a Google Chrome extension inside your Firefox, the add-on Google Chrome extension manager for Firefox will help you.
However, the installation is not an easy job and has no support for all extensions. You have to follow as described below after installing the extension (experimental) Google Chrome extension manager on Firefox.
If you click on the "tools" menu, "Google Chrome addons" submenu, you'll see extensions currently installed. (via)

Montreal is an extremely pedestrian-friendly city comprised of quaint yet diverse neighbourhoods. Each offers its own unique perspective of life on the island, with a rich assortment of restaurants, cultural venues, businesses and most importantly, residents. And unlike many North American urban centres, we actually live in the downtown core, making it a welcoming, interesting and safe place for citizens and visitors alike.
Montrealers speak English and French with remarkable ease, as well as a host of other languages. It doesnt matter where you are or to whom you speakfrom our taxi drivers to our concierges to our sommeliersconversation flows, so you can relax and enjoy every moment and experience of the city.
Montreal is truly an experience: old world charm, French joie de vivre and a modern style all its own. There is something for everyone: fine dining, shopping downtown, a pleasant stroll through Old Montréal, an afternoon to explore the city and its colourful neighbourhoods, a trip up Mont-Royal...
Climate in August
Days are often sunny and warm with an average of 20°C (69°F).

T-Mobile looks towards 2G/EDGE for future 4G LTE expansion
T-Mobile is celebrating the one-year anniversary of their LTE rollout. And naturally, this celebration includes news of some expansion. The carrier is touting how they have voice and data coverage available for 96 percent of the US. While that number doesn't reflect the percentage of available LTE coverage, it will factor in as T-Mobile moves forward.

Taylor Swift's Latest Track [VIDEO]
She teased her fans with the announcement for days, but the news is finally here!
She teased her fans with the announcement for days, but the news is finally here!
Singer Prince Royce has made no real secret that he has a crush on Selena Gomez, and now the pair are together! On audio, at least. Gomez and Royce recorded a duet for his new album, 'Sigo Siendo El Mismo' ('I'm Still the Same'), called 'Already Missing You.'
Katy Perry shared another preview of 'Prism,' this time in the form of a 30-second snippet of 'Walking on Air,' an uptempo, EDM-lite track. From the audio sample we enjoyed, it appears that Perry is flexing her creative muscles.
Justin Bieber has been hard at work -- and he's got a new album and a new movie to prove it!
Who wishes they could hear a new Cher Lloyd song soon? Who wishes that she would team up with a rapper for that new single, like, say, T.I.? Well, that's just what British cutie and 'X Factor' non-winner (we don't wanna say loser) Lloyd is doing.
The singer tweeted that her new single from the follow up to 'Sticks and Stones' is called 'I Wish' and it features Tip!
We knew we were going to hear a new Jordin Sparks song today (Aug. 1) -- we just didn't expect this one!
What's that we hear? Is it a primal 'ROAR' from the lioness of pop music, Miss Katy Perry? Hell yeah it is. The singer will drop 'ROAR,' the first single from her new album 'Prism,' on Aug. 9 at radio. It will go on sale a few days later.
Selena Gomez is on a roll promoting 'Stars Dance,' and part of having such a highly anticipated album is the inevitable leak.
Another ballad, similar in tone and theme to 'Love Will Remember,' has leaked. 'Sad Serenade' hit the Web this weekend, and Selenators are going wild for it.
Will we be hearing some serious dancehall tunes from Katy Perry on her next album? Hopefully... If Diplo has anything to do with it!
"I Am Whole" is the brand new single from our own Jillian Jensen. Jillian told me that the song was inspired by a performance in New York City where she sang with Ed Sheeran.

Employers and employees often enter into non-compete agreements that limit an employee's ability to compete with an employer during, or after, the employee's employment. These agreements are often the subject of intense litigation and their validity, and enforceability, varies from state to state. Many of these agreements also have arbitration provisions in them which require that any dispute under the agreement be decided by a private arbitrator instead of litigated in court. In Nitro-Lift Technologies, LLC v. Howard, decided by the Supreme Court of the United States on November 26, 2012, the Court made clear that an arbitration provision, enforceable by federal law, will be given effect even in cases where that means a dispute concerning a non-compete provision disfavored by state law will be kept out of the state courts.
The Federal Arbitration Act "declares a national policy in favor of arbitration." When an Oklahoma trial court, and later the Oklahoma Supreme Court, ruled that a non-compete agreement could be reviewed by state courts, instead of by an arbitrator as contemplated by the parties' employment contract, Oklahoma ran afoul of settled law from the Supreme Court of the United States. In doing so, Oklahoma courts violated the the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. In short, an arbitrator, not a state court judge, will decide whether a non-compete provision is lawful if the provision stems from an agreement with a valid arbitration clause.

With the ocean right at your door, it makes sense to taste some of the spectacular seafood. Cast a line for a feast of fresh fish; snapper, garfish, tommy ruff (Australian herring) or King George whiting.
Get your feet wet and go after some oysters, scallops, crayfish or the amazing blue swimmer crabs!
Nothing compares to the thrill of catching your own but fishing is not for everyone. You are on holiday! Why not head to one of the region's great eateries and let someone else do all the hard work? Here are a few suggestions.
Schnitzel, steak and salad share a menu with fresh seafood and traditional pub fare "down the local". Most towns have one and the doors are always open for a casual meal and a cool beverage or two. These pubs and restaurants cater for the growing tourist market, offering something special in a family friendly environment.
Producing its own farm fresh vegetables, meat and eggs, the Ballywire Farm Tearooms between Edithburgh and Yorketown is a great place to drop in for quality, wholesome dining. For home-made gelato and ice cream, head to Moonta Mines and the Coffee Barn Gelateria.
Visit Ardrossan Bakery for fresh bread or Moonta's Cornish Kitchen for a tasty Cornish pasty.
If you're hanging out for a great coffee in the area, Moonta Bay's La Cantina is a must, as well as Palate 2 Palette Gallery and Restaurant in Port Broughton.
Located in the middle of the "foot", try the Inland Sea Restaurant in Warooka. It prides itself on stocking locally caught crayfish, snapper, King George whiting and other tasty meals, despite not being on the coast!
Buy fresh seafood from retail outlet, Gill Fisheries at Port Victoria. Look out for fresh oyster signs from Stansbury to Edithburgh.
A hidden jewel in the heart of Yorke Peninsula, Barley Stacks Wines is the first commercial vineyard established in the traditional "barley belt". The combination of rich limestone soil and the mild environment helps to produce strong grain crops and premium quality fruit. Open seven days, Barley Stacks Wines offers tastings of their home grown Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and liqueur Chardonnay. It is just a short drive from Maitland.
Here are some great ideas for you to try while you're in the area
There are plenty of events on in the Yorke Peninsula.

what is a round yellow pill that has teva on one side and 3026 on the other?
Not Medical Advice: There's no yellow, round pill with "TEVA 3026" imprinted on it. The closest match is Diazepam 5 mg, which has "TEVA 3926" imprinted on it. It's a prescription-only medication, introduced in 1960 by Hoffmann-La Roche.
The mild tranquilizer Diazepam is in the group of drugs known as benzodiazepines. Most commonly marketed as Valium, Diazepam is mostly used to treat anxiety, anxiety disorders, alcohol withdrawal, and insomnia. It can also be used to treat seizures and muscle spasms.
"TEVA" stands for "Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited", a major pharmaceutical manufacturer based out of Israel. Teva is the largest generic drug manufacturer in the world.

Law Reviews and Student Scholarship—Demystified
One of the main extracurricular activities of a law student is being an editor on a law review. You'll soon learn this once you step inside the law school, because as a visitor you cannot enter the law review offices that occupy various corners of the law building. Peering through their front doors, you wonder: what happens inside and what does it take to gain access?
In most other law schools, law review is called "law review." For example, the publishers of the infamous Bluebook of legal citations are The Columbia Law Review, The Harvard Law Review, The University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and...The Yale Law Journal. Only at Yale are most of the law reviews called "journals." We're just different like that. Whatever the label, law review is a journal published by each school containing recent scholarship by professors, students, practitioners, and judges. What is unique about these publications as opposed to scholarship in other academic fields is that the entire operation is student-run, from selecting submissions to editing to publishing to distributing. Because this process is so comprehensive and labor- and time-intensive, most law reviews have their own offices where editors work and hold meetings.
In each school there is a flagship journal that does not specialize in a specific subject matter. Yale's flagship law review is The Yale Law Journal, one of the oldest and most-cited law reviews in the nation. Yale's other law reviews, termed "secondary journals," do focus on a specific legal field. Secondary journals at Yale include: Yale Law & Policy Review, Yale Journal of Law and Feminism, Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities, Yale Journal of International Law, Yale Journal on Regulation, Yale Human Rights & Development Law Journal, Yale Journal of Health Policy, Law, and Ethics, and Yale Journal of Law and Technology. Students at Yale Law School have an array of stellar journals to join based on their interests and time commitments. Joining is also easy--outside of The Yale Law Journal, the secondary journals do not have an admissions process. Students can just show up to a meeting and become an editor.
One of the main purposes of law reviews is to promote student scholarship. Each Yale journal allocates space for student pieces, called Comments and Notes. During the year, each journal has numerous "drop dates" for student submissions, and editors on the journal work directly with the student authors through the editing process. Although students school-wide are encouraged to submit pieces, many journals, including The Yale Law Journal, allots space specifically for writing by its own editors.
I have been an editor on two Yale law reviews, and these editor positions have been some of the best experiences I've had in law school. Being a part of a journal has allowed me to explore areas of law that I didn't get a chance to study. I've also realized how transferable the skills I learned from journal are to law firm life, especially attention to detail. Working on an important contract or agreement takes a scrutinizing eye, which I've honed as an editor of The Yale Law Journal. But one of the most rewarding aspects of law review is working with the great group of student editors. We meet in committees to talk about the submitted pieces. We hold happy hours, banquets, birthday parties, and breakfasts. We chat in the Journal lounge over cups of coffee. So despite the long hours at times, gaining access is worth it in the end.
