New Ken water official resigns
Ron Balla has resigned from the New Kensington water authority board, less than a week before a hearing in Westmoreland County Court in which he could have been removed from the position for alleged violent behavior.
Balla said he submitted his letter of resignation Thursday, which Municipal Authority of New Kensington board Chairman Richard Lecocq and special counsel Ira Weiss confirmed.
Balla attended an authority meeting on Tuesday and made no public mention of his intentions to resign.
In a prepared statement he read over the phone on Friday, Balla said, "My position over the years has brought much insight into the operational and financial functions of the water authority.
"Unfortunately, many of my insights show gross mismanagement of the authority, which I have tried to rectify. And it is very unfortunate that management and leadership have failed."
Balla went on to call into question the competence of at least two authority employees. He said his frustrations with management prompted him to resign.
He criticized the authority for not being able to readily provide accurate dollar amounts for delinquent accounts, which he and the Valley News Dispatch separately have requested. Balla said the authority's computer contract is being mishandled.
Balla denied the allegations that he displayed violent behavior prompting the authority board to seek his removal.
Asked if he was violent with any board members or employees, Balla said, "Never. No."
"I don't talk behind your back," he said. "I talk to your face. That's the kind of person I am."
He added, "Those were nothing but political squabbles."
Balla, who was appointed to the board by New Kensington Council in 2004, faces a hearing on Tuesday morning in front of Judge Gary Caruso.
Balla said he won't appear at the hearing.
The authority board was seeking to have Balla removed from his post for a handful of events in which, according to Weiss, Balla displayed "abusive and outrageous behavior toward water authority employees."
Weiss said authority officials still will attend next week's hearing "to request that the court declare the seat vacant."
According to the civil complaint, Balla walked into the authority office along Barnes Street on April 27, 2005, and "began speaking in a loud, abusive and profane manner."
The complaint states that Balla forced his way into General Manager Jim Matta's office, "breaking the door jam and splitting the wood frame."
Once inside Matta's office, Balla began cursing at Matta and Lecocq, who was inside, according to the complaint.
Earlier that day, according to the complaint, Balla stopped at a job site and tried to provoke a fight with Phil Toney, superintendent of distribution.
The complaint notes a third instance in which Balla allegedly confronted and threatened union worker Thomas Hogan.
In addition, the complaint accuses Balla of visiting the authority office, threatening employees and trying to gain access to records he's not legally entitled to view.

Paralegal Studies
The growing demand for legal services has placed great stress on attorneys to provide efficient and effective legal assistance. Paralegals--who, as nonlawyers, are legally restricted from practicing law--assist attorneys in meeting this demand and aid in delivering legal services more efficiently and economically.
As the paralegal field continues to grow, the demand for paralegals remains high. Career opportunities for paralegals exist in private law firms, government offices, and businesses such as banks, corporations, and insurance companies. Law libraries, paralegal education, and freelance paralegal work provide additional career opportunities for paralegals.
The mission of the Paralegal Studies program is to provide students with a well-rounded liberal arts education, including the legal terminology, concepts, and skills necessary to function effectively in the legal profession, whether in a private law firm, business, or government environment.
*Paralegal many not provide legal services to the public except as permitted by law.

CUMBERLAND — There was a lot of talk last year that the upcoming Cumberland American All-Star team had potential to be something special this season, especially after the latest batch captured the state title for 11-year-olds.
Two games into the District 4 Major Division Tournament, Cumberland American is proving it just may have what it takes to advance far this summer.
After defeating Burrillville in a 10-0 mercy-rule opener on Saturday, CALL did the same (and a little more) to Cumberland National on Tuesday night. Strong pitching from Connor Mastin and an 11-hit attack that included homers from Conor Lavallee and Jake Glod lifted Cumberland American to a 13-1 four-inning rout of National at Garvin Field.
"District play is power and pitching," said CALL coach Dave Belisle. "You got to hit the long ball and you need the pitching. We have had both right now. In both games, we have gotten the power. We are getting contributions from up and down the line. Guys that are supposed to be bunting are laying the bunts down. Guys that are supposed to be getting the home runs are getting the home runs. I am very pleased right now."
Lavallee and Glod each had their second round-tripper of the tourney. On the mound, Mastin was close to masterful, allowing just five hits and striking out five. He established the tone right from the start, striking out the side in the top of the first inning.
"He's had a great year for us in the (recreation) level because I coached him," Belisle said. "He has been doing that all year long. To do it in district play is a little different. He throws strikes. He's starting to learn how to hit corners. He's starting to be a real pitcher now. I thought he pitched a great game today. That's a great lineup they have, up and down. They can hit the ball."
Cumberland National, last year's state champion and New England runner-up, had three of its hits in the fourth inning when it produced its lone run on a RBI single from Tony Bilieri. At that point, Cumberland American had already built a 9-0 advantage.
The National squad's trouble began in the early innings. CALL took a 4-0 lead after two innings with three of its runs unearned, scoring on a passed ball, a wild pitch and an error.
"We mentally beat ourselves," CNLL coach Ray Creamer said. "They are a good team. They put the bat on the ball. But we gave them some help there…We helped them with some walks. We helped them with some passed balls and some other things."
With two outs in the bottom of the first, CALL scored twice. Mastin produced a walk off starter Cam St. Amand. He got to third on a double from Max Hanushack and scored on a throwing error. Hanushack, who was on third from the miscue, was plated on a passed ball. Cumberland American doubled its lead in the second with Tom Faltus laying down a perfect sacrifice bunt to score Lavallee. Lavallee walked to begin the inning and then made it to third on a double from Matt Murphy. Murphy scored on a wild pitch.
Cumberland American broke the game open in the third with five runs on four hits. Lavallee highlighted the frame with a solo, line-drive homer over the centerfield fence. Glod would make it another quick game for American with a three-run shot in the fourth.
Seven different players had at least a hit for CALL with Glod going 2-for-3 with three RBI and Lavallee also finishing 2-for-3 with three runs scored and an RBI.
CNLL sent four pitchers to the mound to try and cool off its opponent's bats.
"I love the way the kids are playing. I really, really do," Belisle said. "We have been having great at-bats. We faced four good pitchers today and we hit the ball hard."
Cumberland American travels to Bernon [Woonsocket] on Thursday, while Cumberland National looks to rebound with a home tilt against Burrillville at Garvin, also tomorrow. The two teams both compete in Pool B, one of two sub-divisions in the district tourney.
"I think this team [Cumberland American] is a very good team and a quality team in our bracket," said Creamer, whose squad is 1-1 in the districts. CNLL beat North Smithfield, 5-0, on Saturday. "We just have to hope to get past Burrillville and the Bernon team. If we get past them there we can get over in the [championship] crossover round and maybe go against these guys again."

Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski talks with children about plans for a renovated park on Wednesday at South Tipp Park. Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc. announced its community fundraiser this year will support the park.
- Filed Under
A downtown Lafayette park in disrepair will be spruced up as a result of a nearby automotive manufacturer's upcoming fundraiser.
Neighbors know South Tipp Park, on less than an acre at the corner of Fountain and South Third streets, as an area that's been in dire need of new equipment and an updated basketball court.
Because of Subaru of Indiana Automotive's fundraiser this fall, it will get much more than that: Community and company officials announced Wednesday that the park near the Bauer Family Resources Community Center will receive accessible play equipment, adult swings, new ...

On Halloween, there's nothing worse than having your creativity rewarded with bad candy. You have to lug that crap around for like 10 blocks, only to get home, dump your loot out, and find that some houses seriously missed the mark. Sure, you can try to trade with your friends, but there are some confections that no one – not even your best bud – is willing to find redemption in. And here they are, in no particular order, the worst of the worst Halloween candies:
1. Bubble Gum
In a world where Reese's Peanut Butter Cups exist, what kid wants to waste their time unwrapping single pieces of Double Bubble? Don't be fooled by the packaging; these pink, rock-hard slabs will never live up to their promises of outrageous bubbles and lasting flavors.
2. Symphony Bars
While you're at it, why don't you just hand out jars of Grey Poupon. No kid – or even adult, for that matter – in their right mind is stoked to get a Symphony bar. It's exactly the same thing as a Hersey bar, only it's creamier because everyone wants a creamy candy bar that's about as symphonic as the Baha Men, which is to say it fails in every way.

What's red, white, and blue all over? Patriotic popcorn, of course! This 4th of July, give those fireworks a run for their money with this super easy to make, explosive treat! (Seriously though, it couldn't get easier or tastier than this.)
What You'll Need: ¼ cup oil (canola, peanut, and grapeseed have high smoke points, but whatever your preference)
½ cup kernels
1/3 cup sugar
½ tsp food coloring
Salt to taste (optional)
What You Do:
1. Pour the oil into a saucepan and crank it up to high heat.
2. After it's been heating up for a few minutes, toss in a few kernels to test the oil temperature and then cover.

As you know, your dad is one a great guy. Every time you needed someone, he was there for you – even during that phase (don't worry, we all had one). And it wasn't always easy for him, you know? So this year, for Father's Day, it's kind of your duty to show him that you appreciate everything he's done for you – because he really has done a lot. Of course, there are tons of gifts out there, which is why we've made this blog post to help you. Displayed in a somewhat random order, this list is comprised of gifts to avoid so that Father's Day this year is memorable…but only in a good way.
You should never have to ask what size boxers your dad wears. That's pretty awkward – it's your dad, guys. Even if he's really into boating and you just happen to stumble upon super cute, anchor-printed boxers, it's not okay. Sure, he might really like them, but this is Father's Day we're talking about here.
Exception: None Found.
Dumb Grill Products
What's more versatile than a hot dog flipper? Tongs. What allows you to rotate meatballs besides an overpriced, specially designed basket? Tongs. How is corn evenly grilled without a non-stick cage? TONGS. So maybe instead of spending a crazy amount of money on ridiculous grilling products, you should just purchase one product that makes sense: a really good pair of tongs.
Exception: A taco grill rack.

As you've probably heard, there's this special day that's dedicated to your Dad called Father's Day. It comes around once a year and, as it just so happens, it's not far away. Look guys, I know it can be a challenge to clear your calendar for a whole entire day, but let me just remind you that your Dad cleared like a few decades of his life for you.
That said, it's important that you make an effort on Father's Day to spend some quality time with your old man. I'm not suggesting that you forgo giving him a gift – he really deserves one – but rather that you should actually hang out with him too. That's why we've put together this list of things you and your Dad can do together to make him feel special (because he really is).

Questions to All Your Answers:
The Journey from Folk Religion to Examined Faith
Many evangelicals have embraced a Christianized �folk religion� characterized by glib sayings they�ve never deeply examined. Looking at ten popular Christian slogans in the light of Scripture, this book encourages us to reach for a deeper, well-grounded faith that engages the intellect as well as the heart with the Bible.
Many Christians� faith exists as a loose collection of unexamined cliches and slogans borrowed from songs, devotional books, sermon illustrations, and even the internet. Too often this belief system (if it can be called a �system�) lacks coherence and intelligibility; it can hardly be expressed, let alone defended, to others. The problem with folk religion is that it too easily withers under the onslaughts of secularism or seemingly reasonable answers provided by cults and new religions. Christianity has a long tradition of intellectual examination of other faiths and its own beliefs. Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living; great Christian minds of all the ages have believed the unexamined faith is not worth believing. Reflective Christianity is Christian faith that has subjected itself to the rigorous questioning of Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. It is mature Christian faith that goes on believing even as it questions what it believes. The goal of this book is not to destroy anyone�s faith but to build it up by placing it on a firmer foundation of critical examination. Ten popular Christian cliches are subjected to critical inquiry and interrogated to discover whether they contain truth or are in error. In most cases the conclusion is�both. The aim is not to tear down straw men but to demonstrate a path toward stronger, more mature Christian belief.

Developing Strategies In A Desert Watershed That Sustain Regional Water Supplies
Washington DC (SPX) Mar 25, 2011
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are helping meet the water demands of a riparian desert region that is home to a national conservation area and a thriving military base.
Agricultural Research Service (ARS) hydraulic engineer Dave Goodrich and hydrologist Russ Scott have been part of Arizona's Upper San Pedro Partnership (USPP)-a mix of 21 federal, state, and local groups managing the region's water-supply needs-since the association started in 1998.
ARS is USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency, and this work supports the USDA priority of responding to climate change.
Fort Huachuca, which is the primary economic engine in the upper San Pedro River valley, draws its water from the aquifer that sustains the desert river, but this groundwater is being depleted more rapidly than it is replenished.
In 2004, Congress directed the Department of the Interior to work with the Department of Defense, USDA and the USPP to develop water use management and conservation measures that would restore and maintain water supplies in the upper San Pedro watershed.
Goodrich and Scott both work at the ARS Southwest Watershed Research Center in Tucson, Ariz. The scientists are studying how much water is used by riparian vegetation and evaluating how storm water runoff from urban development affects groundwater reserves.
As part of this work, Goodrich and others measured storm water runoff from undeveloped land at the edge of Fort Huachuca and from a newly developed area just outside the military installation.
They found that a third of the runoff from the developed site resulted just from the compaction from the surface soils during construction-and not from the installation of impervious barriers, as they had expected.
Meanwhile, Scott and his colleagues found that mesquite woodlands use much more water than cottonwood and willow trees that grow along the riverbanks.
He used this finding to develop a GIS-based riparian evaporation and transpiration tool that regional land managers can use to estimate water savings by replacing mesquite with native desert grasses.

The club built on their summer tournament success, finishing 12 games over .500 in league with a record of 64-52-24. Of our 11 teams at the club, over half of the teams finished top 3 in league, with 4 team on course for promotion with top two finishes.
On the girls program, highlights included girls 16's winning silver elite south and girls 13's winning five games in a row in silver south to finish league in second place in league, meaning our older girls teams (U14,15,16 and 17's) will more than likely be playing at the Silver Elite or Gold level next season.
The growth of our boys program has accelerated with the sucess of the boys 11's and 15's who finished in 2nd place in league and our boys 10's in their first season finished a respectable third place in league.
Try-outs for our younger girls and boys teams will take place on Saturday mornings in January, as soon as we set specific time and location we will post on the web-site.

Why Banks Do Credit Checks
To prevent terrorism and fraud, all banks are required by law to verify your identity in the form of a "soft pull" of your credit report. A soft pull of your credit report won't lower your credit score. The bank only checks to see that your name and address match up with the information on your checking account application. This is also where the bank gets information to make up the random identity confirmation questions during the process of applying for a checking account. and doesn't give the bank can't see detailed information about late car payments or bills in collection.
Banks requiring that your checking account is enrolled in overdraft protection in the form of a bank-issued line of credit, will require that you don't have bad credit. The bank will conduct a "hard pull" of your credit report, meaning that the credit check itself will lower your credit score by 2 points. A hard pull lets the bank review your entire credit report and score. If you already know you have bad credit, avoid applying to banks that will do a hard pull of your credit.

The season is over for CSKA Moscow and the "army team" is thinking of its future. The main question remains if Andrei Kirilenko will stay in Russia – probably not if you ask us – and in the meantime the team announced the new deal with 29 years old forward Victor Khryapa.
He will be a member of the team for the next three season, something that also apply to Sasha Kaun. His deal is not announced yet, but Russian sources confirmed to Eurohoops.net that the former University of Kansas player and NCAA champion has also signed a new three years contract. As for the official announcement, is just a matter of days, or even hours. It's obvious that contract negotiations for both players have been finilized, probably before the Euroleague Final Four in Istanbul.

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cattle Prices.
Wednesday, 28 November 1973
Dáil Eireann Debate
Mr. Sheridan: asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries whether farmers may soon expect a rise in the present low prices obtainable for young cattle.
Mr. Clinton: Any forecast of the prices of young cattle must be related to the price of adult cattle which in turn depends on prices on the export market. While forecasting is difficult and, perhaps, dangerous, indications are that the prices for adult cattle will rise soon.
Mr. Callanan: The Minister is aware that the price of adult cattle is somewhat higher than it was this time last year; the price of very young cattle is from £5 to £10 cheaper than it was this time last year. Furthermore, I raised this question when we [571] were putting a tariff on calves last summer and I was informed there was going to be a very good trade for calves. It is very hard to sell them at the moment.
An Ceann Comhairle: The Chair is anticipating a supplementary question.
Mr. Callanan: I did not get any answer to my supplementary question.
An Ceann Comhairle: The Chair has no control over that matter.
Mr. Callanan: I accept the ruling of the Chair, but I got no answer.
Mr. Clinton: I thought I got no question.

The Streets are blinded by the love at Glastonbury
Band arrive late for last ever Glastonbury show
Photographer: Andy SquireChris Swindells on 27 June 2011
The crowd lights a flare which get Skinner's approval, pointing to the red light and asking people "stay
safe". Helped by The Music's front man Robert Harvey, the band came to life playing
tunes from their latest album 'Computers and Blues'.
'Blinded by the Lights' is the sing-a-long song of the set as Skinner de-shirts and gets the crowd low, adding a snippet of Katy B.
"Who peaked on Friday?" Skinner asks as he gets everyone on side with 'Dry Your Eyes'.
Referencing Beyonce's headline set Skinner jokes they'll be sharing a helicopter home.
Crowd surfing through 'Going Through Hell' he leaves with no encore but owns the set.

Jim Suttie: Don't think too much
I just received an e-mail from a student that says he thinks too much while he is trying to swing.
There are probably many of you out there who suffer from this problem. Maybe you read too many golf books or magazine articles.
Maybe you watch too many golf instructional shows or maybe you go to too many teachers with different theories. Whatever the problem, your mind is cluttered with information, and you are trying to think your way through a two-second movement. Impossible.
The golf swing is a pre-programmed motor activity. Most of the thinking has to take place prior to the movement.
Obviously, we can't think our way through the entire movement. This thought process only creates tension and promotes lack of rhythm in the swing.
Thinking about the movement as you are swinging actually stops you from swinging the way you can naturally swing. It's a lot like writing your name and then trying to copy it backwards. It's just too hard to do.
Or, another example might be throwing a golf ball underhand to somebody next to you to catch. When you put your hand out to catch the ball, do you analyze how your catching hand is moving? Of course not.
It is true that in order to make a change in your swing you must think about that change. But, that change can't be too much and must be practiced on the practice fairway before bringing it on the course.
If you tend to be one of these over-thinkers who thinks about your swing on the course, here our some of my tips that could be helpful:
n Do most of your thinking about your swing on the practice tee.
n Think more of your pre-shot routine and your target when playing.
n Maybe play with one swing key to get your swing going.
n Think of what I call whole swing thoughts when you are playing.
This would include things such as tempo, rhythm, a complete swing, etc. Never think of a specific position in the golf swing when playing.
After all, there are only two positions: The address and the finish. Everything else in between should be a swing. If you go to the dictionary, Webster defines a swing as "an unrestricted, uninterrupted backward and forward motion."
Therefore, anything that restricts or interrupts is not a swing.
n Stay athletic when you are swinging.
n Don't let the presence of the ball ruin your swing. Some players call this ball interference "the hit impulse."
In other words, many people stop their swing at the ball instead of swinging through the area of where the ball is.
Ben Hogan said that contact with the ball should be incidental. Swing through the area instead of at the ball. Once you do this, you will cut down on the tension in your swing and become a better ball striker.
One good drill for you to consider when practicing is called the front-loader drill.
To perform this drill, start with the club extended in front of you in the post-impact position. Practice swinging from this starting position to feel the momentum and buildup of the swing on the backswing.
Now feel the freedom of motion and the buildup of centrifugal force on the downswing. Swing through an area and not at the ball.
This will give you a flow of motion instead of a tight, tense, unrhythmic movement. Also, you can turn a club upside down gripping the clubhead end of the golf club.
See how fast your can swing it this way. George Knudson, the great Canadian professional and teacher, used to say in regard to swinging a golf club, "you have to give up control before you can gain control."
Send your questions and problems to me and I will pick one for next time. Thank you.

NEX fans, your prayers have been answered with an EVF (for the forthcoming NEX-5N). And what an EVF--a 2.4M-dot OLED. This one leaps to the head of the pack.http://www.photographyblog.com/news/sony_fda-ev1s/The Zeiss 24/1.8 looks promising too. Hide your wallets.Cheers,Rick
The 24mp NEX 7 with built-in EVF looks good too, though it is heavier.I'm not so excited by the EVF as I would have been when I bought my NEX 5 last autumn. I am now used to flipping up the screen and holding the camera against my chest, which is very stable.
I'm excited to see some E-Mount lenses!
Good point Eric. I am excited by more lenses. I've kept my Canon 450D because of the wide angle and telephoto zooms. I like the look of the 55-210mm E zoom, which is lighter than my Canon 55-250 zoom. I'd like to see a wide angle zoom too.
Personally that EVF is useless for me... because that articulating screen is very good
How many more pictures/battery will you get if you never use the articulated screen? I haven't found this on the dpreview forums. I am very interested in the new NEX. I also have been looking at the colors said cameras are producing and am a bit concerned when compared with C/N folks. Here's a chance to sell me one!
All sorts of things consume power--the displays, the shutter, the auto focus, the flash--how they divvy up on a particular camera is almost impossible to say. The CIPA score should be taken less as predictive than as a way to compare cameras. Your shooting habits and your menu settings can wring out a lot more frames than the factory settings. It seems likely an EVF consumes less power than the back display, but I wouldn't want to bet that's the case with every camera.As to color, use an expanded color space and shoot RAW. Then you needn't be too concerned about color response across brands (Foveon sensors being a notable exception). I've never used a Sony camera so don't know what their jpegs look like before post processing. FWIW Sony produces chips for others, notably Nikon.Cheers,Rick
from Imaging Resource :Battery. The Sony NEX-7 draws power from a proprietary NP-FW50 lithium-ion battery pack, which is rated by Sony for 430 shots to CIPA testing standards when using the LCD display, an improvement of 30% over the battery life of the previous NEX-5 model. When using the built-in electronic viewfinder, rated battery life falls to 350 shots.extensive technical details here :http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/NEX7/NEX7A.HTMBTW, a mate commented that the EVF has to be seen to be believed. He was very impressed by it.Franco
Wow. So the OLED screens are finally showing their muscle! Maybe the diff is that the LCD screen back is ... 900,000 pixels whereas the EVF is ~2million for the drop? Assuming I don't have my facts backwards...
You have it right, but I don't believe that OLED screens are typically higher density, I think much of the cameras price is the development cost of that viewfinder. Sony wants to be able to switch to the EVF, which will draw many consumers to the camera, but they needed it to have a very high resolution to convince more advanced photographers that have been using conventional viewfinders for years. The screen on the back however is the same density as sony cameras have had for years.
I'm not sure OLED displays are necessarily higher resolution than LED, but at least from what I've seen they are both "crisper" and have richer, more saturated colors at similar dot counts.Olympus has two cameras with rear OLED displays--XZ-1 and E-P3--both are about 600k-dot. And they'll knock your socks off.EVF resolution is perhaps more critical than rear panel displays because they're competing with dslr and rangefinder optical viewfinders. To do so they need to be extremely sharp and have no lag or smearing. These Sony displays are a big step towards that goal.Cheers,Rick

Good morning!
Yesterday, I posted a, "psychological exercise" from a guest blogger, Lissa St. Clair and I told you I would give you the answer today:
If you missed it, here is the original post, "A Psychological Exercise," so go ahead and check it out. We'll wait here.
Oh, you're back?
Okay, so a couple of you thought it was unusual because the paragraph was centered on the page:
I only did that, because when I formatted the post prior to publishing, it just looked better that way.
A few more of you thought you saw an apostrophe out of place, but…
That wasn't it either.
So sorry. Not sorry.
Are you ready for the answer?
The letter 'e' is missing from the entire paragraph. The letter 'e' is the most frequent letter in the English language. A long passage, without any use of the letter 'e' (as the example above), is highly unusual. This exercise demonstrates the difficulty of searching for something that is not there.
So, there you have it.

Your first post was two words long.
The subject line asked for a list...
since when is it excusable to make broad generalizations about huge groups of people based on what you heard?
It is excusable when it was the OP asked for... a list of all the negative aspects of going to school part time you may have heard or experienced. The questions calls for generalization, since I doubt any there is anyone who has heard enough about every part-time program to make anything other than an overgeneralization.
That being said, if you read my previous post, I was speaking about my experience with evening division students that I know. My opinion was a generalization of the part time students that I have spoken too, not a generalization of all part time students nationally.
General Board / Re: List all of the negative aspects of attending part time law school« on: June 20, 2006, 11:06:47 AM »
My post was an overbroad generalization and it is a negative. However, correct me if I'm wrong, the original poster asked for all negative aspects of attending law school at night that one may have heard or experienced. I think may post make clear I was speaking of what I heard and experienced. The difference in the type of student who generally attends night school v. the type of student who attends day school may, to some, be a negative. That is not a personal attack on those attending school at night, but a fact that one must consider. The other posters made clear the difference. Someone in an evening program is going to spend a lot of time what a smaller group of students, so it harder to ignore your classmates and study with someone else. The type of classmates may be a factor in deciding which program to pursue, hence the comment. I'm not the one who took this to name calling and acting like an internet tough guy.
On the topic of overbroad generalizations, I have an Affirmative Action Admit kegger to attend, I think they are handing out Aston Martins at this one, so I really must run...
General Board / Re: List all of the negative aspects of attending part time law school« on: June 19, 2006, 10:31:47 PM »
The students.
Thanks for proving my point. I went through night school throughout undergrad, and I personally know quite a few in law school now. Generally speaking, they all lack the capacity to carry on a conversation without boring the class with there "at my job we do it this way..., that not what its like in the real world..., ohhh the how hard I have it..." stories, as if they on a monopoly on adversity in life. Guess what, no wants to hear your life story every week.
The fact that you have all sorts of real world experience that employers are going to drool over is great, but do me a favor an keep it to your self. If someone were to go around telling everyone that employers are going to love them because they are on law review and or the top ten percent of their class, you would think they are a feminine hygiene product.
Likewise, telling everyone how much money you are making during law school, maxing out your 401(k) and what have you, is about as cool as a trust fund baby bragging about his new 500 CLK. It may you feel good to hear yourself, but everyone else wants to puke. Be proud of you accomplishments, and shut up.
Moreover, you can be proud of the fact that you raise a family, and work, and go to law school, but keep it to yourself. Everyone has their own problems they need to deal with, be it work, a sick family member, or who knows what. Everyone has problems; most people just don't have the need to tell people everyday.
I know there are people like this in day sections too, it just seems for concentrated and visible at night school.
On a more practical note, the differing schedules for night students out side of school makes it hard to coordinate study time and stuff. (hence my ballbag worthy comment the students being the problem). Also, office hours for profs are usually by appointment at night, so you cant just drop in.
As far as classes, at my brothers school, the day students usually make up about have the evening classes, because they always offer the major electives at night.
Generally, stuff like career services and the registrar only have one night a week they are open late, which can be a pain.

I agree with RB, I think you have to be a good technical writer to make LR (no spelling, grammar, citing, formatting, flow, and conciseness problems and it is well thought out) rather than some sort of literary scholar.

Having stolen the show from both George Clooney AND Matthew Lillard in The Descendants, Shailene Woodley made quite a splash. So it comes as no surprise that she's up for the role of Mary Jane Watson in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. As of right now, Woodley is in early talks for the role played by Kirsten Dunst in the original trilogy.
These versions of the films hew closer to the comics in which Mary Jane becomes Peter Parker's love interest after she helps him grieve over the death of Gwen Stacy. Emma Stone has made it known that she'd like her character to be killed so perhaps that happens in the sequel, or a later entry. Or, considering Stone hasn't yet signed on, maybe it happens off-camera like with Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men.
It's been a forgone conclusion that Electro would factor into the sequel as a villian, but now there's word that maybe sorta confirms it. Though there's no mention of what actor will dress ridiculously for the role. (Variety)

The name and age of the woman weren't disclosed Friday.
Hantavirus is transmitted to people that come into contact with or breathe
infected urine, droppings and-or saliva of wild mice, primarily deer mice.
The virus isn't spread from person to person.
The illness starts with fever, headache and muscle aches, and progresses
rapidly to severe difficulty in breathing and can be fatal.
The last reported case in Coconino County was 2007 and the victim eventually
Health officials say there have now been 22 confirmed hantavirus cases in

Mugs: Athlete Arrests
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) - A search warrant filed in Connecticut indicates that police think former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez was in an SUV when someone inside shot two people to death in Boston in 2012.
The warrant does not indicate who investigators believe pulled the trigger or suggest a motive.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in connection with another shooting: last year's killing of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd near the ex-player's North Attleborough, Mass., home.
The warrant provides some of the first details of Hernandez's alleged link to the drive-by shooting that killed Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Teixeira Furtado in Boston's South End. No charges have been filed in that case.
The warrant, first reported by The Hartford Courant, was filed in Bristol. It seeks phone calls a Hernandez associate made from jail.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The mayor of Hobbs, N.M., says his city has been chosen as the site for a $1 billion scientific ghost town where researchers will be able to test everything from renewable energy innovations to intelligent traffic systems and next-generation wireless networks.
Mayor Sam Cobb confirmed to The Associated Press that the southeastern New Mexico community was selected prior to a news conference Tuesday with Gov. Susana Martinez and the investors developing the Center for Innovation, Technology and Testing, or CITE.
Pegasus Holdings and its New Mexico subsidiary, CITE Development, had announced last month that the list of potential sites had been narrowed to two. Hobbs beat out a location near Las Cruces.
Developers were looking for open spaces. Another plus was the proximity to federal research facilities like White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico and Los Alamos and Sandia national labs.

Organic Spirituality Gardening Internships
The gardening internship program runs in three parts: Spring, Summer and Autumn.
Gardening with Balanced Awareness
by Jan Enthoven, Master Gardener
Many good and wonderful places exist where one can learn the various methods for organic gardening. The garden internship I offer at Karmê Chöling focuses on the methods and techniques of organic gardening, but also emphasizes strengthening our mind-body through meditation, nature walks, and an opportunity to study Shambhala-Buddhism.
With meditation and physical exercises, we familiarize ourselves with our body and mind on a much deeper level than we can ordinarily access. Through meditation we can discover that the ideal "me" does not exist and will never exist. We come to accept ourselves for who and what we are, which is the starting ground for our inner journey.
As part of strengthening mind-body, I encourage interns to use the opportunity to join the group meditation sessions at Karmê Chöling twice a day. Each intern can also meet with a meditation instructor on a regular basis to clarify questions about their meditation.
Similar to meditation, gardening success begins with fully accepting our garden site and deepening our relationship with dralas, or living patterns of energy, in our garden soil, the sun, rain, wind, rocks, weeds and all animals.
In a world where we are moving and changing at an ever-faster pace, where many people choose "sound bites" over depth of understanding, and efficiency over quality of life, cultivating a small garden may form a welcome refuge that allows us to become responsive to the rhythms of the natural world and unveil a world of ordinary magic and penetrating brilliance.
Selected Topics of Interest Offered in the Internship
Soil Fertility
One of the most complex and fundamental areas of study in organic gardening is soil. At least as far back as 200 A.D., the Romans appreciated soil fertility well enough to recommend crop rotation, liming acid soils, adding manure, and growing legumes, which fix atmospheric nitrogen, converting it to useable nitrates. In the late-19th century, chemical fertilizers were introduced, making farming more efficient and productive, but also inviting a host of problems, including humus depletion, soil erosion, water pollution, and a dramatic increase of pest insects. After WWII, the introduction of herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides brought another wave of increased production, but caused further environmental damage and severely strained our relationship with planet earth and its inhabitants.
Organic agricultural research and observation over the past half century has steadily deepened our knowledge and understanding of the exquisitely subtle processes that lie at the base of a healthy (i.e., biologically active) soil.
In the internship, I will present the view of garden topsoil as a complex wilderness where an incredible diversity of organisms make up the (so-called) "soil food web." These range in size from one-celled bacteria, algae, fungi, and protozoa to the more complex nematodes and micro-arthropods to visible earthworms, insects, small vertebrates and plants. All these organisms eat, grow, and move through the soil. They make it possible to have clean water, clean air, healthy plants, and moderated water flow.
Following that, we will look at the various ways to improve soil fertility through the use of compost, mulch, cover crops, proper irrigation, and other cultural methods.
If you want to get an idea of the natural fertility of the earth, go for a walk in the woods and look at the giant trees that grow without fertilizer, without cultivation. So why go through the trouble of making compost?
- First of all, through harvesting vegetables, we take nutrients from the soil that need to be replenished.
- Second, we already have vegetable scraps from our kitchen (which when they end up in landfills cause air pollution) and weeds we collected from the garden.
- Most important, the positive qualities of well-aged compost make it the unequaled garden soil elixir: it improves soil structure and moisture retention; it can build humus which increases microbial activity that allows for the gradual return of nutrients to the soil; and it can be helpful in the prevention of bacterial and fungal diseases.
In the internship we will look at compost ingredients and composting methods, and you will have a chance to build and turn a compost pile or two.
From Compost to Compost Tea
A recent development in organic gardening is the use of aerobic compost tea. What has been discovered is that under aerobic conditions only beneficial bacteria, fungi, nematodes and protozoa grow. When this tea is sprayed over plants or trees, it prevents the onset of certain bacterial and fungal diseases. When used as a soil drench, it activates and rejuvenates your garden soil or lawn.
Water and Irrigation
Too much or too little water has probably caused more failure in the vegetable garden than any other growing condition. For the beginning gardener, how to water properly is often one of the most challenging things to learn, much less truly understand. When? What method? How much? How often? Rules and advice on watering techniques are often contradictory. In the water and irrigation class of the internship, we will look at why different soils and crops have different watering preferences and which irrigation techniques work best.
Starting from Seed
Starting plants from seed is usually marked by an interesting mix of great expectation and uncertainty about the outcome. This is especially true when one's livelihood or personal pride are involved. In many traditional cultures, before any seeds are sown, fertility rituals are performed to ask permission and blessings from gods or certain invisible forces. In the internship, we will take a detailed look at all the factors involved with successful germination.
Pest and Disease Management
Similar to the health and vitality of our human body, the organic gardener's approach towards pests (from insects to deer) and diseases (fungal, viral and bacterial) is based on prevention and minimal impact natural deterrents. In a healthy garden soil, beneficial organisms will easily outnumber the pathogenic ones. Plants grown in soils with optimum fertility have shown significant lower levels of pest damage. These soils help to increase the natural resistance of plants and foster a rapid increase in the number of natural predators (e.g., lady bugs, lacewings, and toads). In the internship we will look at cultural methods such as garden hygiene, crop rotation, floating row covers, and the use of compost and compost tea as our main strategy for organic pest management.
We will also discuss the use of organically permitted insecticides against a background, on the one hand, of the Buddhist ethic of not killing and, on the other hand, our obligation as gardeners and farmers to feed the human community.
Garden Design and Planning
When you step into a diverse and well-designed garden, you might first experience a moment of awe and relaxation. But if you start thinking about the work and planning it took, you might risk becoming intimidated or discouraged. To find simple enjoyment as well as satisfying results, the apprentice gardener (all of us!) will benefit from a good garden design and a clear sense of where to begin. In the garden design class, each participant can create their own garden on paper and learn about the many facets to consider.
In the garden planning class, we will also discuss crop rotation and seed ordering.
The Karmê Chöling Garden
The Karmê Chöling garden is about an acre in size. Along the grass walkways and corners of the garden are large flowerbeds to provide aesthetic beauty and for plant and insect diversity. We operate two greenhouses to start all our seedlings and bedding plants and to grow heat -loving plants. Vegetable beds are interspersed with kitchen and medicinal herbs.
Produce from the garden supplies the Karmê Chöling kitchen for approximately six months of the year and also serves local individuals and families through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares.
