ISRA – Grand Touring Championship Season Three Review
by Colin MacLean on April 20th, 2011
ISRA – Grand Touring Championship Season Three Review
Epic. The most over-used word in motorsports. However, as hard as I try I cannot come up with any other word that so perfectly describes Season Three of the International Sim Racing Association's (ISRA) Grand Touring Championship (GTC).
This season had everything and then some. It had 40+ drivers every race with a waiting list. It had incredibly challenging racing at some of the greatest virtual tracks around the world. It had three wonderful cars, the Late Model, Mustang FR500S and the Mazda MX-5. It had more passes and side-by-side action than you could possibly imagine. It brought together a vast array of talented drivers from both the real and virtual worlds. Every race had plenty of excitement and drama. In short, Season Three of the GTC Championship was the pinnacle of multi-class sim racing.
The ISRA made a bold choice with their car choice. Returning from season two were the Mustang and MX-5. These two cars co-exist incredibly well in multi-class racing as their lap times are well separated and the Mustangs have enough scoot to drive by the MX-5 on the straight. Looking for a replacement for the V8 Supercar the ISRA settled on the Chevy Late Model after extensive testing. What may have seemed a strange choice at first turned out to be a revelation. This car is the perfect combination of easy to drive, quick and above all incredibly fun. Furthermore the speed differential between the Late Model, Mustang and MX-5 ensured the racing was guaranteed to be close, tight and thrilling.
Going into the opener at Sebring it was anyone's guess who would dominate in each class. In the GT class the season two GT class champion David Sirois looked to be the man to beat. His experience in the GT class would give him a leg up on the competition. Hot on his heels was season two ST champ Colin MacLean. Sure to challenge for the podium was hotshoe Eric Palacio whose pace in the MX-5 last season raised a few eyebrows.
The ST class running the MX-5 was definitely going to be interesting with season two standouts Kevin Savoie and Mike Young. Newcomer Russell Kao signed up late to the series and threw a wrench into the works for Savoie and Young's two-car battle.
The GS Mustangs were, without a doubt, going to be the cars to watch. Season One Daytona Prototype champion, Jaymz Mynes joined Season Two standout Daniel Graulty and the always quick Mike Kelley as the favorites in the class.
The season would comprise nine races over some of the best virtual race tracks in the world. Highlights of the season would include an enduro at Sebring, the GTC's first visit to Silverstone and the iRacing road-racing bullring of Barber Motorsports Park. Every race went off smoothly and the grids were full every race. Looking back on this season, no matter where they finished every racer should be justifiably proud of their contribution to one of the best multi-class road-racing seasons ever. The ISRA members put together dozens of videos showcasing the racing and those speak volumes.
After nine hard-fought races Sirois took home the crown in the GT class. He faced stiff opposition from MacLean and Palacio but over the course of the season he took home the most wins with six, earning himself a deserved championship. Sirois' combination of speed and consistency was unmatched by any other driver and his mistake-free season was impressive to watch. Palacio finished second in the championship followed by MacLean in a close third place. Alex Ulleri and John Middleton impressed with their pace challenging the top three at many tracks this season.
The ST class was tighter with Young and Savoie bringing home three wins apiece. Vincent L'Herbier would join the ST battle with a couple of solid wins mid-season. Russell Kao also joined ISRA mid-season and managed one win. At the end of the season Young took the championship with a comfortable lead over Kao in second and a consistent Dean Ayer in third place. Savoie could only manage fifth in the championship after missing three races.
The GS class championship was one for the record books. Rarely do two drivers so close in pace battle it out over the season and in this case there were three. On many occasions Graulty, Mynes and Kelley qualified literally within thousands of a second of each other. Graulty would start off the season with a bang taking home three successive wins. Determined to fight back, Mynes stepped up his game mid-season with two wins of his own at Spa and Road America. At Barber, Kelley took the victory really closing the gap in the championship as Graulty faltered in fifth. The Watkins Glen Enduro was a big win for Mynes but Graulty came back with a vengeance at Silverstone. Going into the last race Mynes and Graulty were almost neck and neck in the championship with Kelley poised to leapfrog both should they both DNF. At the checkered flag of a dramatic race Mynes took the championship win with a third place finish as Kelley took second and Graulty recorded a DNF. A special mention goes to John Roussetos who took the victory in the GS class at Daytona lifting him to a great fourth position in the championship.
As the sun sets on this season and we look forward to the next, we wonder if it's possible Season Four could match the drama and excitement of Season Three? We hope it will be, as you say, Epic.

State recovering from high winds, rainfall
Fixed headline, and text
Some central Oklahoma residents were bleary-eyed Monday morning after spending hours in tornado shelters the night before. Heavy storms hit the state late Sunday, packing high winds and in some cases spawning tornadoes. Counties across the state battled flash flooding while cleaning up debris after a weekend of hazardous weather. High water is blamed for one death.
More than 11,000 Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. customers were without power Monday morning. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission reported about 1,800 power outages across the state at 9 p.m. OG&E had 609 customers and PSO had 1,162 customers without power statewide. Many of the powerless customers were in south Oklahoma City, where heavy rain caused a roadway leading to a bridge to wash into a creek and overwhelmed storm drains, flooding low-lying streets.
In the northern Lincoln County town of Agra, the lone tornado siren didn't work early Monday when its switch was flipped, said Lincoln County Emergency Management Director Joey Wakefield.
Instead, police and volunteer firefighters drove through town, blaring their sirens to alert about 350 residents.
The tornado siren, apparently hit by lightning, was repaired by daybreak.
Possible tornadoesTeams from the National Weather Service were dispatched to several locations Monday to confirm reports of weekend tornadoes and to determine the twisters' forces. There were reports of at least five tornado touchdowns, the National Weather Service said. Crews surveyed damage from an apparent tornado in Sweetwater in Roger Mills County on Saturday and in Seminole County on Sunday, said Bruce Thoren of the weather service. In Sweetwater, officials believe a tornado Saturday caused at least $2 million in damage to the school. Most of the buildings around the school were damaged or destroyed, including a multi-purpose building, Floyd Pickering said. Storms also caused damage in Seminole County, where officials believe a tornado touched down late Sunday. One woman was trapped in her trailer home Sunday night after strong winds blew the trailer off its foundation near Little. Wind gusts also peeled the roofs off two barns in Seminole County, said Michelann Ooten, spokeswoman for the state Emergency Management Department. Power lines were pulled down along State Highway 99A, Ooten said. Tornado sirens sounded through the night in Shawnee, where residents headed to shelters as another strong line of storms moved in about 3:30 a.m.
Rainfall blamed for deathAs residents in storm-ravaged parts of the state worked to clean up after weekend storms, they also had to battle flash flooding. Flooding also was reported in Kay, Lincoln, Rogers, Tulsa, Woodward, and Atoka counties. Henry H. Fletcher, 71, of Canute died after his car was swept away in high water on a county road two miles west of Canute in Washita County on Sunday night.

EU Proposes More Strict Regulation of Perfume Ingredients
Posted: February 18, 2014
Citing consumer protection from allergens, the EU Commission has proposed a ban on a number of molecules used in fragrance ingredients, such as oak moss and tree moss.
According to Reuters, the EU executive body is giving its first judicial response to a report on allergies it had commissioned from the advisory Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), which was published in July 2012. It said the report called for drastically reducing the use of many natural ingredients found in perfumes, on the basis that 1 to 3 percent of the EU population may be allergic or may become allergic to them.
Further, it said the report recommended restricting the concentration of 12 substances including citral, coumarin and eugenol to 0.01% of the finished product. It also proposed an outright ban on tree moss and oak moss. Reuters said the EU Commission proposed conducting further research to determine what level of concentration should be used for those 12 ingredients and for another eight.

Java back in the 1930s.
Consider the following interface:
public interface X { public void doSomething() }
and two implementations:
public class Good implements X { public void doSomething() { ; } }
public class Bad implements X { public void doSomething() { throw new RuntimeException(""); } }
Let's have a convenience class ExcpnChecker with just one static method to check whether a given implementation of X is going to throw an exception or not.
public final class ExcpnChecker { public static boolean isThrowingException(X x) { try { x.doSomething(); return false; } catch (Exception e) { return true; } } }
such that:
ExcpnChecker.isThrowingException(new Good()); // returns false ExcpnChecker.isThrowingException(new Bad()); // returns true
Consider now a third implementation of the X interface:
public class Pun implements X { public void doSomething() { if (ExcpnChecker.isThrowingException(this)) return; else throw new RuntimeException(); } }
can you tell what we get from
ExcpnChecker.isThrowingException(new Pun());
Now, think...
To see a short explaination highlight (select) the text below:
Although the method isThrowingException seems correct, it is not.
For example, it is not capable to handle the case of some X implementations which refer to itself, as we have shown with Pun.
Moreover, it is not able to handle other cases such as this:
public class Forever implements X { public void doSomething() { while(true) { ; } } }
If I were to pass an instance of Forever to 'isThrowingException'
I would expect it to return false instead of looping for ever.
You can try very hard to fix the 'isThrowingException' but you won't succeed.
The method "isThrowingException for an arbitrary X implementation" is not computable.

by unoinpiu - 2009-05-18 03:40@kebernet: Not quite right. ExcpnChecker will throw a StackOverflowError and since we only catch Exception it will terminate abruptly. (This was deliberate)
Attempting to fix it by catching "Throwable" would return 'true' as you say but that would be incorrect since Pun's code says: "if I throw an exception I return peacefully, If don't throw an exception let me throw one"
The problem is that such a program can not be coded. The reason people might think they can write it is based on the assumption (wrong) that ExcpnChecker can be written.
by kebernet - 2009-05-15 11:11Actually, I think you are missing something here. Because Pun is, in effect, recursive, ExcpnChecker.isThrowingException(new Pun()); will return false, because you will get a StackOverflowException after some amount of time at which point, the parent method would get "true" and therefore return without error and all the calls farther up the tree would get no exception, making the top level call return false. You are correct about the Forever implementation, however.

The beautiful Rhön hills are located in the heart of Germany, at the intersection of Bavaria, Hessen and Thuringia.
This 'land of open spaces', as it's known in Germany, gives visitors a sense of well-being. Its vastness and variety of scenery offer a welcome break from the pace of modern life, Hikers, lovers of the great outdoors or those simply looking to unwind will find plenty on offer here. Take the Hochrhöner trail from Bad Kissingen to Bad Salzungen, voted Germany's most beautiful walking route in 2010. Experience the extraordinary rock formations and ancient woodland of the Gangolfsberg and Milseburg peaks. Orchards, meadows in bloom and pastures with free-roaming Rhön sheep all attest to a long-standing human presence here. The highly sought-after produce of the region and the inventiveness of its culinary artisans are a delight for gastronomes. Devotees of the sport of gliding might already be familiar with Mount Wasserkuppe. Hessen's highest peak was the birthplace of the sport and remains a meeting point for gliding enthusiasts from all over the world. The former border between East and West Germany that used to pass through here is still very much in people's minds. Point Alpha, the former listening post where the NATO allies squared off against the Warsaw Pact countries, is today a memorial site featuring exhibitions showing what it was like to live with – and so close to – the border.

Kathy Griffin Is Reportedly Replacing Joan Rivers on 'Fashion Police'
Kathy Griffin is reportedly set to take over Joan Rivers' position as host of E!'s 'Fashion Police.'
Kathy Griffin is reportedly set to take over Joan Rivers' position as host of E!'s 'Fashion Police.'
Six weeks after the news of her death broke, the cause of Joan Rivers' passing has been revealed.
Reports claims that the comedian's doctor took a selfie during her throat surgery, before she went into the cardiac arrest that allegedly lead to her death.
Several celebrities, including Ariana Grande, Lena Dunham, Anna Kendrick, Sarah Silverman, Ellen DeGeneres and more, took to various social media outlets to express their sadness upon hearing the news about Joan Rivers' death.
Joan Rivers has died at 81, the Associated Press reports. Her daughter Melissa Rivers reportedly announced the news, according to the AP...
Joan Rivers has reportedly been rushed to the hospital and is currently in critical condition.
Acid-tongued comedienne Joan Rivers recently stirred up a little bit of trouble when she walked out of an on-air interview after taking issue with the supposedly "negative" host (who was asking Rivers - who makes her bread and butter by making fun of people - about the negativity in her act and her latest book)...
Joan Rivers is not one to mince words. The comedienne and 'Fashion Police' host took aim at a tiny target – North West, the 7-month-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Rivers reportedly referred to Kimye's little girl as "ugly" during one of her stand-up gigs.
Twitter. It's not just a social messaging service but a battleground! Rihanna got into a 140-character feud with thoroughly plastic surgery-ed comedienne Joan Rivers after Rivers was aghast at RiRi's confession to Oprah (that she still loves her abusive ex Chris Brown). Now, Rivers' 'Fashion Police' co-star has thrown her opinionated and outspoken self into the mess. Which side did Kelly O. take?
It was a good day for us in the Twitter universe today (Aug. 24). First, Spencer Pratt of MTV's 'The Hills' followed us on the social media site (we're dumbfounded and excited at the same time), but even better than that? We found out comedian/TV host/author/etc. Joan Rivers got into it with Rihanna on Twitter. Day = made.
No one can take down Joan Rivers, not even big time American conglomerate Costco. Recently, the company refused to sell the 79-year-old comedienne's book. So what did she do? Naturally, she stuck it to them!
Joan Rivers has skewered Christina Aguilera for her weight yet again, this time making fun of 'The Voice' coach on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.'

Price Is Right host search down to two?
It looks like the long search for the new host of The Price Is Right is down to two: Sarah Silverman and David Hasselhoff.
Just kidding! The New York Post is reporting that producers have narrowed it down to two contestants: Mark Steines and Todd Newton. Steines is a host on Entertainment Tonight (he'll keep the job if he gets the PIR gig), and Newton has hosted several game shows, including a PIR show in Las Vegas. The pay for the job is reportedly near $3 million a year. Nice.
Hmmm...I'm not sure about this. But I guess they're both competent hosts. It looks like producers are going for the safer choices (male, slightly older, experienced) than going with someone like Mario Lopez or Ian Ziering.

Ok, I got a question about GIMP, I have made an awesome
picture, but I can't save it as a .jpg
It says it needs a plugin, but where can I find it or how do I
save it as jpg?
At least with Gimp 2.8 on a Macbook Pro, you can't actually "save" an image as a jpg (or anything other than a .xcf). You have to go to File->Export and "export" the image to a non-gimp format. I hope the developers can fix this.
PLEASE overcome this shortcoming. I have just discovered GIMP and need to convert hundreds of photos. Exporting them is a lot of extra work. Please fix this for us MAC users.

I've got to say, my cousin invited me to try Slimming World and i was a bit dubious about it but i decided to give it 100%, when i started i weighed 238 pounds and after my first week i jumped back on the scales and i weighed 232 without doing any exercise besides walking to and from work. tbh I'm still quite shocked that i have lost this weight just by eating right
I'm going to stick at it and see where it takes me, now I'm going to start exercising this week and see how much i can lose.
I just wanted to ask if 6 pounds is about the right amount i want to be losing each week or should i aim for more?

(Van Artsdalen kicking)
Two Northeast US standouts went head-to-head last weekend at Matrix Fights 5 asBellator/Strikeforce vet Sam Oropeza took on Ring of Combat vet Aung La Nsangwith a slightly controversial outcome. Matrix 5 took place March 16th at the Sheet Metal Union Hall inPhiladelphia, PA.
Although seven of the nine fights were amateur bouts Matrix stand out for thoseinvolved. With the matchmaker beingAdrian Caplan, wife of Bellator matchmaker Sam Caplan, and the matchmaker ofCFFC Arias Garcia cageside the perception is this promotion will have an impacton at least those shows, similar to how NAAFS has been feeding fighters fromthe OH area into larger shows. The facethere are few promotions in PA and it is relatively close for the NJ/NY areafighters also gives this show potential, potential for the most part this eventlived up to.
With a win in Strikeforce and a loss in Bellator being his last two fightsprior to entering the cage Philadelphia Fight Factory's Sam Oropeza has quite afollowing. Aung La Nsang has made animpression for his exciting fights if mixed record, the two of which gohand-in-hand for this fighter who seems to like taking chances. Round 1 was close with both fighters tryingto take the fight to the mat, Oropeza having the edge with his guillotine chokeattempt and strikes to the face if not his heel hook. By the end of round 1 Nsang tried to scorewith kicks as if to make up lost ground to make it a close round but stillOropeza's. The action quickly returnedto the ground in round 2 with Oropeza going for an early triangle choke whichseemed to be tight. Referee KeithPeterson later says he checked the arm of Nsang twice and it appeared Nsang wasout so he stopped the fight, the supposed controversy coming when Nsangimmediately got up and protested he was not out. Regardless of whether Nsang was or was notout the fact he didn't respond to the referee was a justifiable reason to haltthe fight for the safety of the fighters and Oropeza took the technicalsubmission win.
Also on the card Daddis Fight Camps' Brylan Van Artsdalen returned from his twolosses in Bellator to pick up a somewhat quick win over Strikeforce vet BillyVaughan. After a short feeling outprocess Vaughan picked Van Artsdalen up for a slam only to be caught in aguillotine choke, Van Artsdalen's sixth submission victory of his career.
Matrix 5 results:
Robert Maloy def.Steve Paugh 1:32 R2 by armbar

I personally am more afraid of becoming a senior citizen then I am of dying ... Growing old is a scary thought ..Hbu?
You have to learn how to age gracefully
On the flip side of it, there's so much cool stuff though. You can just **** yourself in a public place and make someone else deal with it. You can be inconsistent at your own convenience (using the 'I'm old and frail and vulnerable' excuse when you feel the need to play the victim card and then using the 'until you've been on this earth as long as I have you can't say ****' excuse when you want to automatically declare yourself wiser and instantly win an argument that you're losing). Lots of fun to be had.
stop being worried at your age. getting old effects your mind and helps you handle the end of days.
I'm there lol, it's not scary. You deal with the aches and pains ,the hardest for me is slowing down and just takes longer to do things.<br />
I believe its what we do with our life in the short time that we are here.
*sobs* yes, I feel that way to. Everyday I hope I will stay like this.....but I can see myself turning old. I see more wrinkles each time I catch myself in the mirror, my hair is going dull, my knees ache, I even make a weird noise when I stand up or sit down. I'm only 13 and I'm getting old and crippled already *sobs even more* It's good to know I am not the only one who thinks like that
well in less than a month i will be 14 if we are going into details
For U maybe
no piece of cake, it you prepare for it.

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with the esteemed Katsuya Eguchi, long-time game designer at Nintendo.
He was a designer on Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, Director of Star Fox and Animal Crossing and a producer of Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.
These days the youthful 47-year-old, whose current title reads as 'Manager / Producer of Software Development', has been working on the Wii U.
In our 45-minute talk we covered a great many topics, including Nintendo Land, his move to more casual gaming experiences, all sorts of Wii U topics (price, the GamePad, much more) and, in a callback to our 'Behind the Scenes' E3 pieces from earlier in the week, Mr. Eguchi's favorite band.
But let's start at the start.
The interview was held in a small, private room on the top level of Nintendo's E3 headquarters. Mr. Eguchi was joined by a translator, as well as a pleasant, pregnant PR official.
In front of Mr. Eguchi sat a black Wii U and GamePad. The console itself was definitely larger than the Wii, almost 11 inches deep and about 6 or 7 inches wide. Maybe 2 inches thick.

Intellectual Property Attorneys
Patents, Registered Designs, Trade Marks, Copyright and Franchising
Smit & Van Wyk, Inc. is a specialist legal practice dealing exclusively with patent and trade mark law in South Africa. Our fields of practice encompass all aspects relating to patents, trade marks, industrial designs, copyright, including litigation, as well as providing advice on the commercial rights attached to each of these forms of protection.
The patent and trade mark attorneys at our firm, most of whom are also qualified engineers or scientists, are dedicated individuals, skilled in their fields of practice, and can provide clear advice on complex legal matters to clients from all over the world. Our experienced support staff, aided by state-of-the-art software, ensure that we remain efficient and up to date. The foreign department of our firm, in addition to advising on protection, specializes in assisting overseas agents and applicants with filing and prosecution of cases in South Africa and other African countries. We also attend to maintenance of South African cases.
What is Intellectual Property?
The term "intellectual property" or "IP" refers to creations of the mind. Although such creations are often intangible, they may have commercial and strategic value. Intellectual property, once formalized in the form of a patent, registered design, or trade mark, is therefore treated in business as an asset on the balance sheet and has a monetary value associated with it. Irrespective of your type of business, it is most likely that your business has generated intellectual property (patents, registered designs, trade marks, copyright) of value through the creativity of the individuals in the business. It is of utmost importance for individuals and businesses alike to take steps to protect their intellectual property (patents, trade marks, copyright) and then to exploit the commercial and strategic value of the intellectual property.
Do I have Intellectual Property?
In exercising your creativity, you will most likely generate concepts which are new and which, although intangible, are valuable to you or your company. These may include customer lists, standard operating procedures, a new logo that you have designed, or an invention. If these forms of IP meet certain requirements, they will be eligible for protection and hence may contribute to an even greater extent to helping you or your company grow.
Protection of Intellectual Property
Strange as it may sound, many individuals and businesses are unaware of the intellectual property that they have created, or they often underestimate its value. Therefore, if certain steps are not taken to protect their intellectual property (patents, registered designs, trade marks, copyright), such intellectual property cannot be exploited to its full commercial potential. Therefore, the first step in protecting your intellectual property is to identify it. Although it may seem like an obvious process, it is most often not possible to identify the intellectual property of a business without involving specialized expertise. Once the intellectual property of a business has been identified, it is possible to take steps to protect it, whether by means of registered forms of intellectual property protection such as patents, trade marks, registered designs, or unregistered forms of intellectual property protection, such as copyright, contractual agreements or non-statutory forms of protection.
Apart from the traditional forms of engineering and gadget-type inventions, our patent practice is specialized to deal with inventions on the cutting edge of technology, such as Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Biochemistry, Nano-technology, Telecommunications, Computer technology and Software Patents.

Interview Programs
Fall Interview Program (FIP)
Every year, over 150 employers register for FIP to recruit second- and third-year students for summer and permanent positions. Typically 250 students interview with one or more employers during FIP. The majority of legal employers participating in FIP are larger law firms from larger cities that are able to predict their hiring needs nine months to one year ahead. However each year a number of public service organizations, smaller law firms, and employers in smaller cities also participate in FIP. Although FIP is the primary method for upperclass students to secure summer employment, it is by no means the only method. A CDO counselor can assist students in crafting a specific, targeted job search strategy.
Beginning in June students can view the employers registered for FIP, see their interview and hiring requirements, and upload application materials through the Career Management System (CMS).
Students interested in FIP should refer to the Fall Interview Program Guide, which provides helpful information about the logistics of FIP, including instructions and advice on selecting employers and interviewing. Visit the FIP Organization site on the YLS Inside Page for fast and easy access to all things FIP, including a list of employers registered to date, links to useful websites, articles of interest, CDO handouts and program videos on FIP-related topics, and a calendar of upcoming events and deadlines. CDO will host introductory sessions for students planning to participate in FIP. However, if at any time you wish to speak with a counselor please contact CDO at 203-432-1676 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
CDO invites upperclass students to participate in FIP held August at the Omni Hotel in New Haven.
Spring Interview Program (SIP)
The Spring Interview Program is Yale Law School's annual spring recruiting event for public interest and private sector employers to interview primarily 1Ls, but also 2Ls and 3Ls for summer and permanent positions. Each year 15-25 employers register to meet with students during SIP. Students are encouraged to meet with a CDO counselor to create a specific, targeted job search strategy to meet their needs.
In December, students will be able to view employers participating in SIP and their interview and hiring requirements. At that time, students can upload application materials through the Career Management System (CMS). In January, CDO hosts an introductory session for students planning to participate in SIP. However, if at any time you wish to speak with a counselor, please contact CDO at 203-432-1676 or email email@example.com.
CDO invites all students to participate in SIP held in early February at the Omni Hotel at in New Haven.
Equal Justice Works Annual Conference and Career Fair
YLS participates as a member-school in the annual Equal Justice Works Conference and Career Fair in Washington, D.C., which is a gathering of public interest and government employers from across the nation. Approximately 150 employers conduct prescheduled and informational interviews with law students from across the country. CDO subsidizes student travel and program fees to this event which usually occurs in October.
Public Interest Legal Career Fair
YLS co-sponsors the Public Interest Law Center at New York University School of Law providing students the opportunity to interview with employers for internships and permanent jobs, as well as to talk with employers at information tables. In past years, representatives from more than 200 organizations and over 2,300 law students have attended this February Fair. CDO subsidizes student travel and program fees to this event.
Overseas-Trained LL.M. Student Interview Program
YLS, in cooperation with the law schools at Columbia, Harvard, Stanford, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, and University of Virginia hosts an Annual Overseas-Trained LL.M. Student Interview Program. Employers from around the world are invited to come to the Doubletree Guest Suites Hotel in New York in late January to interview students from the seven law schools for foreign associates and/or six to eighteen month internship positions. In the early fall, CDO hosts an information session for LL.M. students interested in this program. However, if at any time you wish to speak with a counselor, please contact CDO at 203-432-1676 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Interview with Will Rahmer
By Lucifera Elena
I'm sure many of you are familiar with Mortician but for those who are still in limbo, here's the story:
Mortician was founded in 1989 by Will Rahmer (bass/vocals) and Matt Sicher (drums) under the name of Casket. The band named their first song Mortician and, soon after, decided to use the ominous title as their new band name. John McEntee of Incantation played guitar on the recording and remained a member of Mortician throughout most of 1990, at that time Will sang for Incantation. Their first demo was released on Seraphic Decay Records under the title, "Brutally Mutilated".
In January 1991, Roger J. Beaujard joined Mortician, replacing McEntee as permanent guitarist. Mortician was then signed by Relapse Records and released the now-legendary Mortal Massacre 7" / CD-EP with them. Drummer Matt Sicher was relieved of his duties as drummer due to various personal problems and later died in an accident. In early 1992, MORTICIAN began to experiment with drum machines. Unable to find a replacement who could play at the unheard of speeds that the band favored, Will and Roger chose to take the band's percussion to its ultimate extreme by integrating a drum machine into their music. The band went through several line-up changes after they released "Hacked Up for Barbecue" in 1996.
Some members included Desmond Tolhurst on Guitar for Zombie Apocalypse in 1997 and Ron Kachnic of Malignancy who joined the band since 1992 as their guitarist for live shows. And is still with Mortician.
Their discography:
Rehearsal Tape 12/14/89
First Mortician Tape Demo 1990
Brutally Mutilated 7"
(Released on Relapse):
Mortal Massacre 7"
Mortal Massacre (1993)
House by the Cemetery (1995)
Hacked up for Barbecue (1996)
Zombie Apocalypse (1997)
Chainsaw Dismemberment (1999)
Domain of Death (2001)
Darkest Day of Horror (2002)
(On Primitive Recordings):
Final Bloodbath Sessions (2002)
Endemoniada-Tell us a little about your new album "Darkest Day of Horror"?
Will Rahmer-"Darkest Day of Horror," it's got 20 songs. There's a couple of songs that are part two from that CD. It's a little in the vein of "Zombie Apocalypse" and "Chainsaw Dismemberment." I think you'll dig it yo! Originally, we were going to put it out ourselves on Mortician Records but we found out we have one more CD to do on Relapse. This will be our last CD on Relapse Records, then we 're gonna start our own label Mortician Records, the next release will be on that.
E.-Which horror movies inspired this album? What's the reason behind the title?
WR-(jokingly) Babyboy, Blackula, Tales from the Hood. E.- You know I'm gonna print this. (Lucifera-I couldn't stop laughing for a while. The scary part is when he gets serious again.)
WR-Nah. "Darkest Day of Horror" is the third part in the Living Dead series it's about the Day of the Dead. A continuation of "Blood Harvest" from Zombie Apocalypse is "The Final Sacrifice," which is based on Children of the Corn Part II. Just like Mortal Massacre based on Night of the Living Dead and Zombie Apocalypse was based on Day of the Dead. I can't say what movies they are because people have to figure out the intros. If I tell you what movies they are from they'll figure out the intros. So you have to study your horror movies.
E.-Are you satisfied with this album?
WR-Oh yeah, we're really satisfied, I think it's one of the best sounding CDs we put out in a long time. "Chainsaw" will always be my favorite but I think this comes really close. All the levels are good with everything, I'm really happy with it.
E.- What's "Final Bloodbath Session"?
WR-"Final Bloodbath Session" was a mix of certain songs from all the releases which we wanted to re-record with the new sound, with Roger playing drums, almost like a Peel Session from a long time ago. We wanted to get the live sound on a CD for once.
E.- Are you ready for this tour? What places do you most look forward to playing?
WR-God damn, I 'm ready yo! LA, Houston, Tampa, Portland, Oregon. It's our first time playing in Portland, Oregon. I'm looking forward to that. All the shows in the Midwest, the whole South. Actually, the whole fuckin' tour really. Y'know, just about everywhere we play is good.
E.-Which ones do you find disappointing?
WR-Shit, I don't know, I can't really say. There's quite a few of them. I guess, any place that's a shithole and there's no crowd could be the worst place.
E.- What bands are you into and do you have any you would recommend?
WR-Currently, NCC, there's so many of them, I have so many CDs nowdays. Ghoul, Gruesome Stuff Relish, just about anything on Razorback Records. All the old death grind.
E.- What is the best cover you have heard of a Mortician song?
WR. Who's done the best Mortician cover? I don't know.
E.-There has to be some band that did a good cover of a Mortician song?
WR. Depression did "Blood Craving" really good, they're from Germany. I just heard Derottenous from Brazil did "Zombie Apocalypse." I haven't heard them all, so I can't really say. Also Atavism from Greece did a Mortician song.
E.- How do you feel about other bands covering your songs?
WR. I think it's great. I'm waiting for the Mortician tribute to come out soon.
E. -Which is your favorite Mortician release and why?
WR. My favorite release is "Chainsaw Dismemberment" which I think is the most brutal CD we ever recorded. Sound-wise it's the most brutal. Guitars are the heaviest sounding even in that and just the aggressiveness. I don't think we'll be able to top it. We'll come close, but were' not gonna top that.
E.-So then what's different about the new album?
The new album's got a lot of Doom, Discharge influence to it and more crustcore stuff. Shorter time length, 20 songs, 40 minutes, not too long, not too short, it's perfect. And it's heavy and good, it has a different sound too. It's different because Roger played out of an AMP this time, he didn't use the GSP like he usually does.
E.- What's your concept of women in the music scene? Name a few you enjoy?
WR-I think it's great women in the music scene, there should be more, a lot of lonely guys out there.
E.- (Lucifera-I had to crack up, he said it so sincerely and then he starts laughing too.) I mean in bands.
WR-Oh in bands ok. I think it's great I myself am a fan of a lot of female bands, a lot of punk and hardcore stuff. Too many bands to name. I like old Lunachicks, L7, a lot of stuff on Kill Rock Stars. A lot of bands just put out 7" like Manhole from Texas, y'know. And there's Volcana from South America and a lot of bands here and there, I just can't remember all of them.
E.- What do you think about Archenemy, they have a female sings?
WR. I never really heard them. I just saw them live, so I really can't comment on them. I never heard the CD.
E.-You have your own label. How did this start? And why don't you want to work on Relapse anymore?
WR-The label is going to be called Mortician Records we started it because we want to have control over everything we do. We don't want to be under any label but our own. We just want to do our own thing. We want to have complete control of everything we do. How long it takes to put out the CD, everything, artwork, layouts, merchandise, tours, everything. We just want to control everything. That's the main purpose of doing this. Y'know, I also have the Redrum Distro and Roger has Primitive Recordings Distro and Label, so we have our separate things but we'll both work together on Mortician Records. Which the next Mortician CD after "Darkest Day of Horror" will be out on that. Relapse takes too long on doing things, lack of communication and we just want total control over what we do. We don't like waiting for no mutherfuckin artwork for six months and all that bullshit.
E.-Any last words?
WR-FUCK YOU! (Lucifera-We burst out laughing.) Keep it real yo!

Daily blogs from the frontlines of the Greenpeace planet down under.

As the world's leading climate scientists finalise the latest and most comprehensive report on climate change and ways to tackle it, a key question is: What is new? What has changed since the release of the UN climate panel's last Assessment Report (AR4) in 2007?
On the 'solutions' side, the answer is pretty straightforward:
Nuclear power hasn't changed much. IPCC notes that nuclear capacity is declining globally and that, from safety to financial viability, nuclear power faces many barriers. "Carbon capture and storage" (CCS) isn't really breaking the mold either. Although the IPCC identifies a need and potential for future CCS-aided emission reductions, in reality, CCS isn't delivering and, since 2007, "studies have underscored a growing number of practical challenges to commercial inve...

Thirty-odd years ago in the Kingdom of Denmark lived some brave people who disliked nuclear power and loved renewable energy. Determined to keep their country clean and safe, they began building their own wind turbines. Today, thanks to these passionate people, Danes are on their way to getting their heat and electricity from 100% renewable energy.
In the early 1970's, in many parts of the world, people started discussing the risks of nuclear power. Although Denmark did not have any nuclear power plants of its own, its neighbour, Sweden already had several, and during the first oil crisis the Danish electricity companies grew eager to build some in Denmark too. A considerable part of the Danish population, however, could not see any good reason why they should have potentially dangerous ... Read more >
The latest United Nations report on climate change is about to be finalised, written by thousands of scientists. The report is VERY important, but also a bit dull.
What we really want to know is: How bad is climate change? And what can we do about it? Using the latest IPCC findings and a few other recent discoveries, here's our take on what you need to know about climate change and what to do about it.
1. Politicians talk – too little happens
Politicians spend a lot of time talking about reducing greenhouse gas emissions that are causing the planet to heat up. But despite all the chatter, emissions are still growing.
From 2000 to 2010, greenhouse gas emissions grew faster than before. The reason? We keep burning more fossil fuels. The climate scientists' advice, however, is clear: we ne... Read more >
It's no secret that I am an emotional person, and that nothing inspires me more than people standing up for what they believe in. Last week, as the Pacific Climate Warriors led a flotilla in the world's largest coal port – even the most unemotional among those witnessing were moved.

While countries fail to heed calls to stop contributing to devastating climate change, sea level rise is already affecting some of the island homes of the Pacific Climate Warriors at rates which the IPCC describes as being "significantly higher than the global average".1
In true warrior spirit, their response is: "We are not drowning – we are fighting!" For the last year, Warriors from 13 Pacific Island nations have been building traditional canoes – and on Friday, they paddled out in Newca... Read more >
Solar energy is clean, reliable, abundant and an affordable alternative to fossil fuels - but not only that, solar is also cool. Check out our selection of the most amazing solar plants from all around the globe.
1. The sunflower solar panel
This new piece of solar technology from IBM, set to launch in 2017, would not only provide electricity – it can also desalinate water for sanitation and drinking. A group of several solar generators could provide enough fresh water for an entire town. The sunflower operates by tracking the sun, so that it always points in the best direction for collecting the rays - just like a real sunflower!

Here's a few renewable energy projects from around the world -- ones that we totally love.
And (get this) they're aiming for 80-95% CO2 reductions by 2050. Impressive!
When it's finished next year, this extraordinary power plant will generate enough electricity to power 750 homes.
Portugal's a world leader when it comes to renewables, like the wave power machine in the photo above, which was the world's first when it was opened in 2007. And for a few glorious hours at the ... Read more >
Coal use in China is falling this year - according to official data reported in the Chinese press.
It is the first time this century that China has seen year on year quarterly falls in coal use. The Chinese economy continues to grow by 7.4%.
The data suggests the world's largest economy is finally starting to radically slow down its emission growth, and it comes ahead of key talks next year on a new global climate and energy deal.
The latest 3rd quarter data reinforces a trend towards falling coal use which started in the second quarter of 2014 and suggests China's annual coal use may end up down on the previous year.
Significantly the latest data showed that even as power consumption grew by 4% (based on government data) coal demand for power generation actually fell by 1%.
The dr...
Villagers and activists were assaulted, handcuffed and hospitalized today while protecting olive trees at the site of a proposed coal plant in Turkey.
The Kolin Group wants the olive trees cut down to make way for a new coal power plant. The villagers of Yırca, in Western Turkey, rely on the olive trees, and have been peacefully protecting them for over a month. Greenpeace Mediterranean joined them, and filed a lawsuit on their behalf.
Greenpeace Mediterranean contends that the Kolin Group must wait for the lawsuit ruling before proceeding. But hundreds of olive trees have already been cut down. And now, when villagers and activists tried to peacefully intervene, violence was used against them.
According to Greenpeace Mediterranean lawyer, Deniz Bayram, "By hacking down these trees the... Read more >

Blakley Library are invited to help the community and themselves by donating non-perishable food items in lieu of paying library fines. Donated items will benefit the St. Jude's Catholic Church food pantry.
For each non-perishable food donation you make, we'll reduce your fines by $1, to a maximum of $50. Just bring your donations to the Circulation Desk at any time during regular hours.
Soup, canned meats, canned vegetables and fruits, cereals, dried fruits, canned juices, paper and cleaning products, personal hygiene products (soaps, toothpaste, etc.) evaporated and powdered milk, peanut butter, macaroni & cheese, baking mixes, pasta, and rice are particularly needed.
Don't have any overdue fines? Be a Fine Angel! This year you may request your donations be applied to a friend's overdue fines.
Items that are expired, damaged, or perishable will not be accepted.
Food for fines is only good on overdue fines. Lost book charges, TexShare fines, or other fees associated with your library account are not eligible.
