Dear Friend,
Indiana Law has started the year 2008 with some big news. As many of you have heard by now, the Lilly Endowment has generously made a $25 million gift to the Law School — the largest gift in our history. This transformational gift represents a tremendous vote of confidence in our future.
This grant could not have come at a better time. With an increasingly competitive legal market, it is vital that we are able to retain our highly sought-after faculty as well as to bring in the very best new faculty in cutting-edge fields of legal study. Thanks to this investment from the Lilly Endowment, we are now able to make these things happen, enhancing the Law School's scholarly reputation for years to come.
We celebrate success this year not only in the realm of our faculty research, but also with regard to Indiana Law's reputation for teaching. We are now leading the charge toward transforming legal education by providing our students with exceptional training in legal professionalism. Our revolutionary first-year course gives students the chance to examine the economic and ethical challenges of working in law and the tradeoffs involved in choosing from various legal career paths. This new course has garnered the attention of top law schools nationwide.
In fact, Indiana Law is one of 10 schools (including Harvard, Stanford, Georgetown, and NYU) that have been selected to participate in "The Legal Study Project," co-sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation and Stanford Law School. The project was formed in response to Carnegie's report, Educating Lawyers: Preparation for the Profession of Law, an exciting empirical study of legal education. Professors Bill Henderson, Hannah Buxbaum, and I recently attended the first meeting at Stanford. Among this group of distinguished schools, Indiana Law was recognized as a true leader in thought about legal education.
As we move forward with these exciting developments, we are enormously grateful to the Lilly Endowment and to all of our alumni and friends for their invaluable support. I will be calling on many of you to lend your expertise and insight as we move forward into a very bright future. Thank you.
All my best,
Lauren Robel, JD'83

Academy of Law Alumni Fellows to be Honored
Indiana Law is proud to announce five new members of the Academy of Law Alumni Fellows, who will be inducted into the Academy on Friday, April 11. These outstanding individuals are recognized with the highest honor the Law School bestows upon its graduates.
Congratulations to William Lawrence, JD'79, owner and CEO of B Lawrence Consulting, LLC, and former three-term mayor of Highland Village, Texas; Elliott Levin, JD'66, senior partner at Rubin & Levin; Frank McCloskey, JD'71 (posthumous), 12-year congressman for Indiana, mayor of Bloomington, Ind., and an attorney with Barnes & Thornburg; Maryann Mukete, JD'74, freelance workshop facilitator for Women's Development Programs/Projects in Cameroon; and Roger Pardieck, JD'63, partner at the Pardieck Law Firm.
The dinner and induction ceremony will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Alumni Hall at the Indiana Memorial Union.
Baier Honored as 2008 Budweiser Conservationist of the Year
Lowell E. Baier, LLB'64, attorney, architect-builder, and avid outdoorsman, was named the 2008 Budweiser Conservationist of the Year. Baier was selected in the annual program that recognizes individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the outdoors and conservation.
The Potomac, Md., resident has dedicated 37 years to wildlife conservation and is president of Boone and Crockett Club, founded in 1887. Baier co-founded the National Capital Area Chapter of Safari Club International. He is Founding Charter Member No.14 of the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep, serving as an officer or board member for 15 years and national convention chairman from 1978 to 1981. He spearheaded the rescue and preservation of the National Collection of Head and Horns. For the last 25 years, he has played a key role in the renaissance of the B&C Club, a non-profit organization founded in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt to establish a coalition of dedicated conservationists and sportsmen who would provide the leadership needed to address the issues that affect hunting, wildlife and wild habitat. Baier had a principal role in establishing a B&C post-graduate wildlife program at the University of Montana and in establishing the National Conservation Leadership Institute for mid-career government wildlife managers.
"It is with great humility that I accept this award not only for myself alone, but also for the other three nominees, for my brethren in the Boone and Crockett Club and all of our fellow stewards who labor selflessly in noble service to enhance our country's wildlife and natural resources," said Baier during the Feb. 2 press conference in Las Vegas. "This award would have made Theodore Roosevelt, the founder of the Boone and Crockett Club, America's oldest wildlife conservation organization, immensely proud of his progeny."
Baier was the lead in drafting former President George H. W. Bush's wildlife conservation agenda, a delegate to the White House Conference on Cooperative Conservation, and served on the U.S. Forest Service Centennial Steering Committee. He also spearheaded preserving the birthplace of conservation in America, Theodore Roosevelt's historic 23,550-acre Elkhorn Ranch in North Dakota in 2007.
"For almost the last three years, I've led the charge on behalf of the Boone and Crockett Club to acquire, preserve and protect Elkhorn Ranch, which comprises some 38 square miles immediately adjacent to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park," said Baier. "Proceeds from this award will go into the habitat restoration and interpretive fund for the Elkhorn Ranch, which Theodore Roosevelt established in 1884."
A $50,000 grant from Budweiser and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) will be made to Baier to support conservation efforts. In addition, the grant can be matched and the value of the award could reach as much as $200,000.
Tinder Confirmed to 7th Circuit
In a 93-0 vote, the Senate confirmed U.S. District Court Judge John Daniel Tinder, JD'75, of Indianapolis to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The Court, based in Chicago, is the last stop before the U.S. Supreme Court for cases from Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Tinder, who is the first jurist with Indiana roots appointed to the 7th Circuit in two decades, was supported in his nomination by Indiana senators Richard Lugar, a Republican, and Evan Bayh, a Democrat. And the American Bar Association gave Tinder the highest rating—"well qualified."
"Throughout John's career, his reputation for personal courtesy, fairness, decency and integrity was equally well-earned and widespread among colleagues and opposing counsel alike and on both sides of the political aisle," Lugar said in an Indianapolis Star report.
The Senate's votes on Tinder's earlier promotions—to the district court seat and to U.S. attorney for Indiana's southern district in 1984—also were unanimous. He has held the district court seat since 1987.
Prior to the U.S. attorney's job, the Indianapolis native was a public defender, state prosecutor and private practice attorney in Indianapolis. He also has taught trial advocacy at Indiana Law.
He devotes significant time to global legal education programs in England and the former Yugoslavia tackling important legal and ethical issues. He has also hosted judges and lawyers from South Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan, Liberia, Russia, and other former Soviet Republics for meetings on similar topics.
Tinder was recently inducted to Indiana Law's Academy of Law Alumni Fellows—the School's highest alumni honor—for his exceptional personal achievements and dedication to the highest standards of the legal profession.
New Course Connects Students with Leading Appellate Practitioners
Indiana Law is connecting students and the country's leading appellate practitioners through a class this spring that has students representing clients before the United States Courts of Appeals for the Sixth and Seventh Circuits.
Greg Castanias, JD'90, a partner at Jones Day in Washington D.C., has joined Indiana's Solicitor General Tom Fisher, JD'94, and Dean Lauren Robel, JD'83, in co-teaching the appellate practice and procedure course, which is designed to provide students with both theoretical and practical knowledge about the appeals process.
Between them, Fisher and Castanias have argued five times before the U.S. Supreme Court, and dozens of times in the various federal appellate courts. In the week of the first class session, Fisher argued the Indiana Voter ID case in the U.S. Supreme Court (he has another scheduled later this spring, which he will moot in front of the class), and Castanias argued a patent-infringement appeal worth several hundred million dollars for DIRECTV. According to Castanias, this was exactly what they hoped to bring to Indiana Law's students with this course. "It's appellate practice taught from the perspective of appellate practitioners who are in the trenches on a daily basis," he said.
Students often graduate with a vague sense of what it means to take an appeal," Fisher added. "We provide more detail, such as how to file an appeal, analyze jurisdictional questions, and prepare briefs and the oral argument."
Castanias envisioned the class while co-authoring Federal Appellate Practice and Procedure in a Nutshell with Robert Klonoff, dean of the University of Lewis and Clark Law School. The course, he explained, fits with the Carnegie Report's recommendations on providing more sophisticated and complete lawyering experiences as students move through law school.
In addition to their coursework, students in the class are working on direct criminal and habeas corpus cases in the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 6th and 7th Circuits. "We are so fortunate to have wonderful alumni and friends who are working individually with our students helping them prepare briefs and arguments," said Robel.
Lawyers who are working with students include J.P. Hanlon of Baker & Daniels; Damon Leichty, JD'99, Barnes & Thornburg; George Patton Jr., JD'87, and Bryan Babb, JD'99, Bose McKinney & Evans; Geoff Slaughter, JD'89, Sommer Barnard PC; Brian Bailey, JD'00, Ice Miller LLP; Tom Wheeler, JD'87, and Darren Craig, JD'04, Locke Reynolds LLP; John Harrington, JD'95, Jenner & Block; John Nalbandian, Taft Stetinnius & Hollister LLP; and Brian Murray and Noel Francisco of Jones Day.

Top Trial Lawyer Teaches Tactics at Indiana Law
Widely recognized as one of the top U.S. trial lawyers prior to his retirement, John F. "Jack" Kimberling, JD'50, is currently serving as a visiting professor offering his unparalleled litigation expertise to Indiana Law students.
His class, "Trial Tactics," is designed to help beginning lawyers understand the basic elements of trial law and how to present a case to a jury. Kimberling hopes the class will provide students with the confidence to represent their clients against more experienced lawyers. "The class is a 'how-to-do-it' rather than a review of evidence law," he said. "For example, there are simple practices lawyers should use during cross examination. There are particular questions a lawyer should ask as well as questions they should avoid at all costs."
Kimberling previously served as a visiting professor at Indiana Law in 1993, when he taught Professor Alex Tanford's Trial Advocacy course during the litigation specialist's sabbatical leave. Kimberling also returned to IU a few years later to help coach the mock trial team.
"I find teaching very rewarding," he said. "For years afterward, I would receive calls and letters from students telling me that the things we talked about really worked. Other students would call to go over a case they were currently arguing and throw around ideas with me. It's great to see how much they retain, absorb, and use the things we talked about in class or in the mock trials, and they find it beneficial."
The San Diego and Palm Springs, Calif., resident has stayed very busy in his retirement. He is the author of two books, What This Country Needs and How to Try a Jury Case, and is currently working on a third book on political affairs. He has been an active volunteer and philanthropist in California and at IU. He served as a national co-chair for the IU endowment campaign in the 1990s and established the John F. Kimberling Chair in Law to support faculty scholarship.
2Ls Schlafer, DeHem Win Moot Court Competition
Brian R. DeHem, left, and John T. Schlafer, right, topped fellow competitors Christina L. Clark and Francis Granados, to win in the final argument of the 2007–2008 Sherman Minton Moot Court Competition, sponsored by Bose McKinney & Evans.
The spring competition problem, Banta v. Mancini, involves the right of a state prisoner to obtain post-conviction DNA testing through a Section 1983 lawsuit — a question on which the circuits are currently split. It touches on a number of current issues, including the willingness of the law to reexamine closed cases in the face of rapid scientific advances, the interplay of civil rights and habeas statutes, the proper role of federal courts in examining state convictions, and the moral and practical implications for the legal system of the Innocence Project's celebrated success in exonerating prisoners.
"It is always gratifying to see the students perform at a peak level," said Dean Lauren Robel, JD'83. "All the finalists were strong in the face of an extremely hot bench."
This year's judges include Hon. Paul Niemeyer of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; Hon. Diane P. Wood of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit; Hon. Ronald Reinstein, JD'73, a consultant to the Arizona Supreme Court and member of the National Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence, and formerly of the Maricopa County (Arizona) Superior Court; and Prof. Matt Gutwein, JD'88, president and CEO of the Marion County Health and Hospital Corporation.

Livingston Selected as Senate Intelligence Committee's Minority Counsel
John R. Livingston Jr., JD'89, was selected as the Minority Counsel for the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at the beginning of the 110th Congress. In this position, he will serve as the principal legal advisor to Senator Kit Bond (R-MO), Vice Chairman of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the minority staff on intelligence matters. He will also serve on the minority leadership team that assists the Vice Chairman and members of the Committee with formulating the Committee's legislative, budgetary, and oversight priorities as well as serve as the Committee's minority legal liaison with the White House, Congressional leadership, Congressional committees, Congressional member offices, and Intelligence Community agencies. Additionally, he will assist the Vice Chairman and the members of the Committee with the drafting, negotiation, and management of intelligence-related legislation. Livingston previously served as the Committee's General Counsel.
Miller-Van Oort Named HCBA President
Sonia Miller-Van Oort, JD'97, a partner at the law firm of Flynn Gaskins & Bennett, LLP in Minneapolis and member of the Indiana Law Alumni Board, was named the 89th President of the Hennepin County Bar Association (HCBA) effective July 1, 2007. The presidency is the pinnacle of a five-year commitment to the association's leadership team. During her year as HCBA president, Miller-Van Oort's goals include finding ways to renew pride and honor in the profession, working to promote and foster diversity within the profession, and exploring ways that the association can offer additional value and interest to its members.
"Serving as the HCBA President has been a wonderful opportunity to collaborate and strategize with fellow Bar members on important issues related to judicial elections, solutions and partnerships for centralizing legal assistance for low-income families, and restoring pride in our profession," she said. "It has been such rewarding experience from which I have learned a ton, and I am very grateful for the Bar's confidence in having me play this role within the organization.
Serving its membership since 1919, the HCBA is Minnesota's largest district bar association. The HCBA provides its 7,900 members with continuing legal education, social events, publications, professional development and mentoring, and opportunities for pro bono work and service to the community.
Alumna Elected Vice President of AABE's Indiana Chapter
Yolanda D. Edwards, JD'03, of Barnes & Thornburg LLP in Indianapolis, was elected Vice President of the Indiana Chapter of the American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE). The AABE is a national association of energy professionals founded and dedicated to ensure the input of African Americans and other minorities into the discussions and developments of energy policies regulations, R&D technologies, and environmental issues.
Over the past 30 years, AABE has grown from an initial membership of 14 members to a thriving membership of more than 1,300 members and 35 chapters across the United States. The organization continues to serve as the vehicle by which African Americans and other minorities have a place at the table where energy matters are discussed and decided. Through its scholarships and mentoring intiatives, the organization encourages African American and minority youth to pursue courses of study that lead to careers in the energy industry; and through its community service initiatives, AABE works to promote better understanding of energy issues, particularly among the African American and minority communities. The organization also partners with many regional, national, and global energy companies on a wide variety of initiatives.
As vice president, Edwards hopes to increase membership in the organization's statewide chapter, provide scholarships and mentoring to students interested in the energy industry, and educate the community about energy conservation, financial resources for those with lower incomes, and alternative sources of power, such as Indiana's emerging biofuels initiatives. "My participation in AABE allows me to bridge my passion for the work I do as an Energy Lawyer with the greater community," said Edwards, whose practice focuses on the energy, public utilities, and transportation industries. "It's a great feeling to give back."
Gardiner Helps Start 'Web 2.0' Legal Group
The changing face of the Web and the ways people share information online has ushered in a new crop of legal issues. Sandra (Sheets) Gardiner, JD'97, a partner at Morris Manning & Martin LLP in Atlanta, has helped to start a new "Web 2.0" legal group. The team focuses on the legal implications of the growing business uses of social networking and content provided by those who are not controlled by the business. They hope to ease the strain on companies by empowering them with up-to-date information that helps them stay ahead of rapidly evolving issues.
"Identifying legal issues in a 'Web 2.0' world requires more than knowledge of applicable law from normally disparate legal disciplines." Gardiner said. "It depends on a clear understanding about how the technology is, and may be, used."
Gardiner co-chairs the firm's Green Business group and is also a member of the Privacy and Security group. Her groundbreaking work includes helping one of the nation's largest Internet providers negotiate deals with several cities for municipal Wi-Fi services. She also counsels companies on new media, clean energy, intellectual property, electronic commerce, telecommunications, payment processing, joint ventures and strategic alliances. She is also a contributor to the book, The Law of the Internet.
Upcoming Conferences Focus on Global Governance, Customary International Law
On March 19-21, the Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies will host a symposium titled "Operationalizing Global Governance" at the Indiana University School of Law—Bloomington. Global governance scholarship has thus far remained in the realm of ideas, identifying new lawmaking authorities and networks of enforcement while analyzing the ramifications for democracy and the rule of law. This conference strives to advance that line of scholarship by identifying patterns in the ways that various actors — states, corporations, civil society, and resulting networks — are confronting complex problems resulting from globalization. The aim is to discover more effective solutions for such problems, including, poverty, environmental degradation and terrorism, and to explore common principles that may cut across substantive contexts. Hannah Buxbaum, Associate Dean for Research, Professor of Law, and Louis F. Niezer Faculty Fellow at Indiana Law, is chairing the conference committee.
On April 3-5, "The Individual and Customary International Law Formation" will explore the current disjuncture in customary international law that results in individuals being subjects of this category of law, but not legitimate participants in its formation. During a classical moment in international law, states were believed to have a monopoly on customary international law formation. This position was acceptable and accepted given the status states enjoy as the sole subjects of international law. The end of the 20th century, however, was a period in which legal personhood was extended to a wider range of actors, including individuals. During this same period, individuals came to participate meaningfully in treaty-making in some key areas of international law, including human rights. Unlike in the area of treaty law, however, there remains no recognized opening in traditional customary international law doctrine for individuals to participate in the law-making process. Associate Professor of Law Christiana Ochoa is chairing the conference committee.
New Frontiers Grant to Expand Center's Scholarship Potential
The Indiana University Center for Law, Society, and Culture will expand its scholarship potential thanks to a grant from IU's New Frontiers in the Arts and Humanities program. The interdisciplinary Center, which serves as a catalyst for research innovation and curricular enhancement in several pertinent fields of study, will use the grant to host a year-long reading group and workshop series during the 2008-09 academic year to explore "New Directions in Law & Society Scholarship."
"The questions raised by scholars doing innovative sociolegal work are intellectually significant because they reveal how our understanding of the importance of law has expanded considerably over the last decade, as have our ways of studying its primal place in societies across the globe," said Indiana Law Professor Ajay Mehrotra, a co-principal investigator of the grant.
Next year, the Center will bring in leading international scholars to discuss cutting-edge areas of sociolegal scholarship, such as Law and American Political Development, The Arts and Intellectual Property, Engagements with Empiricism, and Globalism and the Law. As a result, Center participants hope to enhance their own continuing education while providing community support and feedback to fellow scholars presenting works-in-progress.
"We hope that the workshops and reading groups supported by the grant will foster new collaborations among IU faculty interested in the study of law and society and will lead to a new burst of scholarship from them," said Adjunct Law Professor and Sally M. Reahard Professor of History Michael Grossberg, who serves as Center director and was a co-principal investigator of the grant.
Article Discusses Baseball Doping in Latin America
David P. Fidler, the James Louis Calamaras Professor of Law, and Arturo J. Marcano, LLM'98, M.Sc. in Sports Management (University of Massachusetts-Amherst) and a Venezuelan attorney and sports law expert, recently published a groundbreaking article on addressing the use of performance enhancing drugs in the Latin American minor league operations of Major League Baseball. Their article, "Fighting Baseball Doping in Latin America: A Critical Analysis of Major League Baseball's Drug Prevention and Treatment Program in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela," was published in the University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review, Volume 15, Issue 2 (Fall 2007), pp. 107-201.
In this article, Marcano and Fidler describe the seriousness of the problem of the use of performance enhancing drugs by young baseball players and prospects in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela and critically analyze the response to this problem undertaken by MLB. Marcano's and Fidler's article contains the first comprehensive analysis of MLB's drug prevention and treatment program designed for its Latin American minor league operations.
The report on the use of performance enhancing drugs completed by former Senator George Mitchell in December 2007, and the hearings on the Mitchell Report in Congress held in January 2008 and scheduled for February 2008, makes the Marcano and Fidler analysis very relevant to the ongoing concern about doping in professional baseball.

I'm interviewing a pediatrician this afternoon about kids and sleep issues — not wanting to go to bed, waking up in the night, co-sleeping, etc.
What would you like me to ask?
I have been trying for the past 6 months to get my son to not wake up twice in the middle of the night for a snack! I really want him to just sleep all the way through the night and he is almost 12 months old. He usually wakes up around 11:30PM and between 4:30 and 5:30AM.
I have a wonderful daughter who's turning 6 months on Saturday. She almost always sleeps through the night (10ish to 7ish), but won't nap in her crib. She ends up taking a few 15-30min naps throughout the day, but if I try and put her in her crib, she instantly wakes up and wants out. On occasion she will sleep for about an hour in her car seat after returning home from story hour. How can I get her to nap in her crib, of should I not be worrying about this? Thanks!
What is the right amount of sleep for a child? I have a 5 year old and a 7 year old. The 5 year old sleeps very well. He usually gets 10.5 to 11 hours a night and he will adjust pretty easily to a new bedtime/wakeup time.
My seven year old gets up at 5am. Whether it is light out or dark out and regardless of when she goes to sleep. We have moved her bedtime up to 7:30pm so she will get 9.5 hours which seems to be her minimum to be pleasant. Ideally, we would like her to get 10 or 11 hours starting at 8pm, but we can't get her to sleep past 5am. Even with daylight savings time 'helping' us out, she was back to 5am three days later. Any thoughts? Thanks
I have an 18 month old who has always napped in his swing and is unable to put himself to sleep. Once he falls asleep in his swing, we transition him to the bed and he will sleep through the night; however, naptime is a major issue. I am afraid that we created a monster and we are (rapidly) reaching the weight limit on the swing. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
My 2 year old sleeps through the night, and takes a daily nap (2-3hrs). But I seem to have the opposite of most parent's concerns- he sleeps soooo much. I find myself getting him up so he won't sleep the day away. During the day, he loves to play "night night" and snuggle on the couch, on my bed, the dog bed- anywhere he can get comfy and lay down! He is otherwise a healthy and a normal little guy. I was concerned about anemia, but he is fine. I expected this when he was 15, not 2. Should I be concerned?
Two of my children sleep walk and get night terrors. What causes this? Any way to curb it?
our son, almost 1, has been taking up real estate in our bed for the past few months. he ended up there when he was sick & we wanted to keep an eye on him at night. now that he's well, he hasn't moved out. he screams hysterically when we put him in his crib, even if it's not nap time or night. he's slept through the night in his crib/room in the past. how can we help him out so he's not so hysterical? we're assuming it's separation anxiety, but not sure what to do. he moves so much at night while asleep, we're afraid he's going to crawl off the end of our bed so we have to move quick. thanks!
Hints, tips, tricks etc for knowing when to switch to a toddler bed? I have a very sound sleeper with a solid 12 hours per night who is 2 and no issues with trying to escape her crib to date – I don't want to mess with a good thing…is there a problem keeping them in the crib too long? Is this another, "you'll know when it needs to happen" thing?
My 4-year-old daughter was a great sleeper in the crib, but now that she's in the bed – she's up several times during the night. She loves her bed, but she's clearly taking advantage of this newfound freedom. At least I got a good laugh on the mommyunplugged site today, which had an eCard that said "I pray my daughter is this hard to get into bed when she's 18." I need humor in this situation as I am totally sleep deprived.
Do you have any tactics to get her stay in bed?

Oregon Saturday post-practice update: Helfrich talks starters, redshirts, and Nicholls,
Oregon's depth chart will not be available until Monday, but head coach Mark Helfrich gave an indication of what it would look like after Saturday's practice.
Helfrich said that senior Mana Greig and junior Hamani Stevens are currently slated to start at guard and will be backed up by sophomore Andre Yruretagoyena and senior Everett Benyard III.
The starting inside linebackers have been determined, but Helfrich said there was so much "back and forth" deciding on them, that he could not recall for sure who would be starting without his depth chart.
Tony Washington will replace Dion Jordan at outside linebacker with Boseko Lokombo on the other side.
Tyson Coleman can play both linebacker spots, but it sounds like he will mostly line-up as a reserve at outside linebacker along with true freshman Torrodney Prevot. Oshay Dunmore, who is listed as a defensive back on the roster, has been playing more at linebacker and could see time on the outside, Helfrich said.
Alejandro Maldonado will be the punter, but the kicking competition between he and true freshman Matt Wogan has yet to be determined.
Helfrich said that Jeff Lockie is currently the back-up quarterback, but indicated that he and Jake Rodrigues remain in a close battle for that spot.
Wogan and Prevot are two of the true freshmen that Helfrich said are slated to play this season along with tight end John Mundt, linebacker Tyrell Robinson, and running back Thomas Tyner. (Tyner, by the way, walked barefoot out of practice without any noticable limp.)
As for other true freshmen, Helfrich indicated that OL Cameron Hunt and Jake Pisarcik have been good enough this fall that they will be considered to play, but may redshirt. Others in that category are wide receiver Devon Allen, running back Kani Benoit, and defensive backs Chris Seisay, Juwaan Williams and Tyree Robinson.
Players the Ducks hope to redshirt are offensive linemen Doug Brenner, Evan Voeller and Elijah George, quarterbacks Damion Hobbs and walk-on Taylor Alie from Sheldon, and wide receiver WR Darren Carrington.
Helfrich gave each of those true freshmen an indication of their redshirt status after Thursday's practice wrapped up the fall camp part of practices and the coach said he got the response he wanted on the practice field Saturday from the freshmen as well as the veterans who learned their spot on the depth chart late in the week.
"After a decision day, you want to see how guys respond," he said. "We had a great practice. You want to see those guys that ease up because they think they made it or guys who go into the tank because they are redshirting and there was no visible sign of that, which is a good thing."
Saturday marked the beginning of preparations for the opener against Nicholls next Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
"We're full speed on Nicholls State, kind of a rudimentary install for our base game plan on both sides of the ball and special teams," he said. "(Sunday) is a day off for treatment and then we will be in normal game-week mode."
Helfrich and the coaches have seen film last year of Nicholls, which went 1-10 for the second year in a row.
On defense: "They are different. They are kind of similar to our defense in some ways in alignment, but different from everyone else we have played from a schematic standpoint and that is where we have to hammer recognition, fundamentals, communication."
And the offense: "They are conventional in terms of formations and some stuff they do, but the did a bunch of quarterback runs last year and the unknown is exactly what the quarterback's strengths and weaknesses are this year because it is a different guy."

Who's Online:
Wow. I have some catching up to do. So... Orophin is a peeping Tom and Haldir and Calavene have ME version of phone sex. I like it. But now I'm sad that their going to Helm's Deep. I'm trying really hard not to skip ahead and find out what happens to them. Good chapter.
Author's Response: Hehe... have fun reading! thanks for the review and yes... there is catching up to do
OH!..........and just OH! I am speechless. And I cannot wait for the next chapter. this is so intriguing I must know more.
Author's Response: I will try to upload the next chapter today if i can. I just came back from my vacation and was too tired last night. Hopefully the next chapter will keep you intrigued as well. thank you for your review
Oh so hot! I just picked up at this chapte. Seems I picked a good place to start!
Author's Response: It is good to know i have enrapture a new reader. Hello and i am glad you are enjoying the story :)
Poor Haldir and his injuries. But at least he survived (I thank you)his deep injuries. But the passionate Haldir could not keep his elfhood down. Hehehe. They needed each other and he found a way to get the need taken care of. And I need a towel for my forehead and ice. Hahahaha. Thank you for another couple of chps and look forward to the next ones.
Author's Response: Both of them needed the release at least for the moment. It has been too long and the teasing needed to stop lol. Thank you for continuing to read my story.
Well! I just love this story and so true to the original except for Haldir's and Calavénë's parts. But it flowed in so nicely! The part I hate is when Haldir dies like in the movies. But Calavénë is there, so there is hope. Please...keep this great story going. I await the next chp.
Author's Response: Thank you. I actually played the movie at the time, pausing now and then to get the scenes right lol. the next chapter is already up :) enjoy
*Bubbling Shock grips me!*** Holy moses. This is the best chapter about Helms deep EVER!!!!!Please update soon....I cannot wait.
Author's Response: Really? that's so kind of you to say so. I will try and update today if it's possible :) thanks for reviewing babe :D
VERY GOOD> More please
Author's Response: thanks dear. next chapter will be up soon if i don't fall asleep in front of the computer :)
Great chapter. I feel bad for Calavene. Haven't we all taken the chance on revealing our feelings for someone only to be hurt? I feel her pain. Just to let you know, tomorrow we leave the Keys and I know for a fact I will have no internet until the middle of next week. I'll catch up with you then, hopefully. Can't wait to see what happens next. Give him hell Calavene!
Author's Response: this chapter infuses my own personal experience. i have been there before and it does hurt lol. i hope you have a safe journey home and will be looking forward to your new chapter
Another great story, congrats, girl!
Author's Response: Thank you for following my story. Hope to see you at the finish line!
He merely sought to light the spark of passion inside her. Instead he had awoken the raging fires of love.
This sums it up beautifully. Reading and enjoying.
Author's Response: Thank you. The sentence came to me as i was writing it. It sent chills up my spine when i read it again. I should have the next chapter up later today :)
WOW this one is a great chapter update soon
!!! please
Author's Response: thank you. i am writing the next chapter as we speak :)
They're kissing, they're touching, they're moaning and then... it's over? What the... I loved it. Now who's the tease? Good one my friend. I'm on the edge of my seat. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: i learned by reading from the best tease around *whistles and points finger at you
Hey! I was just plain excited!! It was like sitting at the edge of your seat, then bang the chair gets pulled from under you. I am referring to the part where he was just about to *Get Some*, then like ice cold water...well you know. I enjoyed this chapter. Now for that ice cold shower.
Author's Response: This time i am staying true to tolkien where as elves only engage in the pleasures of the flesh as the ultimate expression of the bonds of marriage. therefore..you guys will just have to wait until the time comes :D
I read once that love is always mingled with other complex emotions and it seems to be quite true. Reading and enjoying. Cannot wait for the next chapter. Thank you for this entertaining story!
Author's Response: Again, thank you for still following t he story and for your reviews. it means a lo to know that a fragment of my imagination and fantasy can add a little entertainment in your life. :)
Ah yes Haldir. Just one of the few fav's of mine. I just hope his heart heals from the two who hurt him so, those years ago. Maybe Calavénë will be his cure, if he would let her in. I am sorry but I read from first to chp 9 as soon as I could. So I did not stop to even review each and everyone till now. I had a very scary family situation that almost ended sadly, but things are looking up now. So I will be reviewing more. I await the next chapter Lady Luthien85.
Author's Response: oh dear. I hope everything went well. my thoughts are with you. thank you for still taking the time to read and review my story. Your time spent on my story are well appreciated. Thank you once again!
Would you like me to send Nieriel over to 'take care of' your Haldir? lol Better yet, I think your Cal and my Cal just need to go out and have a beer. Great chapter. I'm excited to see what comes next.
Author's Response: Lol, im afraid your nieriel would feel overwhelmed with my Haldir :D yes, both the Cals should go out for a beer and have a looooooooong talk lol
WOW WOW> Love the self pleasure scene. Bravo and the last chapter when he made that pass at her WOW again, it was like I was the one he did it to. GOOD JOB and update soon.
I love this story....I am adicted to it.
Author's Response: thank you so much for still following the story. We all seem to have an addiction towards the Marchwarden don't we? Don't we all wish he'd do things to us that can jog our senses :P
GREAT CHAPTER. God I wish I can write elvish. Love it..hugs
Author's Response: Lol.. there's a couple of sites you can use to help you write elvish. I'll mail them to you soon :)
I love the back and forth angst between Hal and Cal. Great build up for whatever is to come. I really enjoyed this chapter and can't wait for more. I always wondered what Gimli said to Haldir. That really wasn't a nice thing to say to a guy with a bow. lol

Right now I am sitting on the balcony of my vacation apartment, looking out over the shallow ocean waters of the Florida Keys and reading your story. As you can tell, I have WIFI. I like where things are going. Elves and water are always a good combo. And the sound of the waves here are a great added effect. Can't wait to see what happens down by the river.

751 people were lying.
*721, oops.
I wouldn't say all 721 people were lying.
Because Total Divas only aired on the US E! channel and not everyone from the rest of the world watched Total Divas on the internet. (Heck I am one of those that voted no simply because I am from Europe and I honestly haven't watched a single episode of Total Divas on the internet.)

President Obama Stimulates Economy in Harlem
New York, NY —
Vendors lined 125th street today, hawking t-shirts, hats, sweatshirts and calendars with President Obama's likeness.
At each table, the salesmen and women took credit for original designs. Lawrence Harris, held up his 10 dollar t-shirt and read it's slogan.
HARRIS: Rosa Parks sat so Dr. Martin Luther King could walk. Dr. Martin Luther King walked so that Barack Obama could run. Barack Obama ran so that our kids can fly that's what the shirt says in the back.
REPORT: Harris and other vendors said business was good.
Their customers were mostly people who gathered to watch the Inauguration on a large screen in front of the Adam Clayton Powell state office building and the nearby Apollo Theatre.
Many said they took the day off from work and kept kids home from school to be there.

Audubon Cottages Hotel Review: With just seven private cottages (including the former residence of John James Audubon), this lovely inn offers guests an intimate, personal and very private New Orleans experience. Elizabeth Taylor once stayed here, and indeed we appreciate the property's subtly Southern "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" appeal. Each cottage is unique, and among the many notable details you might find hardwood floors, separate living areas, dining tables and/or antique furnishings. In regard to amenities, they rival those found in any upscale hotel, from 42-inch flat-screen TVs to iPod docking stations. Additional perks include complimentary breakfast, free Wi-Fi and a heated saltwater pool, as well as perks from the Dauphine Orleans Hotel around the corner, including valet parking. In-room spa services are offered by Le Jardin Spa.

Miley Cyrus Confirms Featured Guests on 'Bangerz'
Some big names in hip hop will be bangin' it out on Miley Cyrus' forthcoming album, Bangerz.
The 20-year-old "We Can't Stop" singer has enlisted the help of artists like Big Sean, Ludacris, and Future for collaborations we're sure to be amazed by. "I have a lot of features on my record," Miley told MTV on the set of her VMA promo shoot. "Big Sean and Ludacris, and, of course, Pharrell Williams has done a bunch of my records, so I'm really excited about that."
Miley Cyrus Names New Album 'Bangerz': What Does That Mean?
"I get to work with Future, who's like my favorite kind of new artist right now, even though he's not that new now," she continued. "All his music is everywhere. But he's just someone that I really, I love working with. I love writing with him. Him and I wrote a bunch of songs on this record together, and he's featured on one of them."
We may also expect a collabo with female rapper Nicki Minaj, after producer Mike WiLL Made recently posted a picture of Miley and him in the studio with the "Super Bass" singer.
"Beauty and the Beast," he captioned the image below.

Yale Law Students, The Playwright, Collaborate on Haiti Relief
(L-R) YLS students Aaron Zelinsky, Sohail Ramirez, Nabiha Syed, Playwright owner Eamon Ryan, Playwright manager Katrina Lynch, and student Kristin Burgess.
Yale Law School students and The Playwright Irish Pub and Restaurant in New Haven teamed up to help victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. At an All-school party at The Playwright on Thursday, February 4, Law School students were encouraged to donate the cost of a drink, or more if they wished, to the Haiti relief effort, and The Playwright donated a portion of their liquor sales for the evening. The amount collected from the event totaled $685. Law School organizers said it was a way to make the party not just enjoyable, but meaningful.
"Given the stunning, amazing outpouring of support from the Law School community, it seemed only natural to pair our fundraising efforts with a Law School social tradition," said Yale Law student Nabiha Syed '10.
"The Playwright has hosted numerous events with Yale Law School over the years so this was a good opportunity for us to work with Yale in an effort to raise money for an exceptional cause as is the Haiti Relief Fund," said Playwright manager Katrina Lynch.
The Playwright event was the culmination of a special Haiti fundraising effort organized by Yale Law students that began on January 25 and ran through February 4. Students took part in a Class Challenge marathon, with first years, second years, third years, and grad students competing to see which class could raise the most money for charitable organizations providing aid to Haiti. Students—as well as staff and faculty they manage to recruit—donated on behalf of the class of their choice to such organizations as the American Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Internal Rescue Committee, MedCorp International, Partners In Health, Rescue Union Mission, Salvation Army in Canada, and UNICEF. The Class of 2010 prevailed in the competition, contributing $9,101 out of an impressive $20,628 raised.
"We are so proud of the determined efforts of our students to organize aid and assistance in the wake of this terrible tragedy," said Yale Law School Dean Robert Post '77.
Beyond the financial support, Yale Law School students are planning a panel discussion later this month to consider the future of Haiti and are also examining ways to support legal programs related to Haiti.

3* NCAAF SMASH on Toledo +10.5
3* NCAAF SMASH on Toledo +10.5
Toledo vs. Northern Illinois, 11/14/2012 21:00 EDT, Score: 24 - 31
Point Spread: +10½/-107 Toledo
Sportsbook: 5Dimes
Result: Win
3* NCAAF SMASH on Toledo +10.5
Northern Illinois won last season's meeting but only by three points. Over the last two decades, Toledo has either won or lost by fewer than 10 points in 13 of 16 meetings. It is on a 9-4-1 ATS run in the series. And, the underdog has covered the spread in seven of the past 10 meetings. With this in mind, I really like our chances catching double digits.
The Rockets have lost just two games this season and both losses came by just seven points against worthy opponents (Arizona and Ball State). It is also worth noting that Toledo has won its last four road games by an average of 8.3 points.
The Rockets were upset at home by Ball State last week, but they are a tremendous 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games following a game in which they did not cover the number.
In addition, history suggests Northern Illinois is being overvalued in this spot. Consider that plays against favorites of 10.5 to 21.0 points that check in off eight straight wins or more, provided they have a winning percentage of 80.0 percent or higher and are matched up against a team that has won 60.0 to 80.0 percent of its games, are 40-13 ATS the last two decades. The teams fitting into this situation have only won these games by an average of 8.1 points.

Undergrads rally in D.C. to protest student loan hikes
More than 130,000 letters from college students were hand-delivered to Congress Tuesday, urging lawmakers to not allow the rate of student loans to double when Democrat-supported legislation from 2007 expires this summer. Congress says the nation cannot afford to keep the rates low. Democrats say it can't afford not to.
Lower rates expire unless Congress acts
The current 3.4 percent rate on federally subsidized Stafford loans will go up to 6.8 percent if Congress does not act to stop it. Stafford loans are extended to low- to middle-income students. In 2007, the Democrat-controlled Congress passed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act to progressively lower student loan rates from 6.8 percent to the current rate of 3.4 percent. But that legislation is set to expire on July 1. If Congress does not act soon, the rate will revert to its former 6.8 percent rate.
Debt hinders chance at success
Tyler Dowden, an 18-year-old student at Northern Arizona University who spoke in Washington Tuesday , said the burden of debt will impact his chance at success:
"I don't feel that I can be successful with this overwhelming debt strangling me. I can't really breathe because whenever I look around, whenever I look at my future or try to make goals for my future, I really can't. I have to take my massive debt into consideration."
Dowden expects to graduate with $25,000 worth of debt at the current loan rate. If the rate increases, he estimates the amount will be more like $28,500.
Samantha Durdock, 19, a political student at the University of Maryland, says she will likely have to put off graduate school if the rate goes up. Currently, she already owes about $20,000 for student loans.
She said:
"Right now, if the loans stay how it is, it's going to be tight, but I could make it doing five years straight in school. But with the increase, I'd probably have to take off."
President urges Congress to act
President Obama has been urging Congress to not let the rates rise. Affordable eduction, he argues, is necessary if we wish to have an informed, capable work force in the future.
GOP says the move is too expensive
Congressional Republicans, however, say that the cost of keeping the rates low is too much of financial burden on the nation. Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.) called the 2007 legislation "a ticking time bomb," and that continuing the policy is a "disservice to students and taxpayers."
Kline's spokesperson, Jennifer Allen added:
"We must either allow interest rates to rise on student loans, or stick taxpayers with another multi-billion dollar bill."
Kline estimates that keeping the rates low costs taxpayers $6 billion a year. Democrats say that estimate is too high.
Dems say rates unfair
Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.) — who has introduced a bill to extend the lower rate — said Tuesday that it is wrong to expect students to pay higher rates for their loans than banks charge homeowners for their mortgages. Courtney acknowledged, however, that, although he feels it is right to keep the rates low, convincing Congress of that before July will be an uphill challenge.

1000 Views of God. ~ Bryce Widom
A Talk with Artist Bryce Widom.
Hollywood's Jason Lange proposed to interview me about "1000 Views of God". In this video, we dive deeper into questions such as "Why one thousand paintings?" and "What's God got to do with it?"
While I'm primarily known in the Boulder art scene as "The Mountain Sun Chalkboard Artist", I do have some other projects in the fire – including "1000 Views of God", which spans one thousand paintings and unites my spiritual practice and my work as a painter.

Orville the tortoise has turned 108.
Theodore Roosevelt was president of the United States and the Chicago Cubs were in the World Series when the 375-pound Aldabra tortoise was born. He's currently on display at Reptile Gardens in the Rapid City area.
Orville celebrated his birthday Sunday by sunbathing and eating watermelon. Museum spokesman John Brockelsby says watermelon to a tortoise is like eating ice cream.
Reptile Gardens obtained the turtle last year from a private collector in Florida.
Orville still has a ways to go to break the record. The oldest tortoise at the South Dakota tourist attraction lived to be nearly 130.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X HD
Infinite Healing Items!
This glitch will allow you to have an infinite First Aid Spray, Green Herb, Mixed Herb, or any healing item you wish. First, make sure you DO NOT read the Instructions Book file that you get at the start of the game. Get any gun (except the knife). Now, get the healing item you want for the glitch. Make sure that your inventory is organized in the following order: -Playing Manual. -Your gun. -Your Healing item. Equip your gun, and then read the Manual. READ IT FROM THE FILES SCREEN. DO NOT CHECK IT. If you did this correctly, you will have your healing item equipped. If that's the case, exit the inventory screen and fire your gun. Now use your healing item. It shouldn't dissapear, it doesn't matter how much times you use it. It will still work if you store it, so Chris should be able to use it, too. DO NOT MIX YOUR HEALING ITEM. IT WILL LOSE HIS INFINITE PROPERTY. This should make getting the Rocket Laucher a piece of cake.

Thanks a lot for the info! I actually have the book that you found Thomas Garret Lodge in, but that is exciting news that the experts can help! I am searching for genealogy information, and have collected a lot- scouring the internet and physically trolling the Philadelphia Archives.
I recently found the grave of Joseph Evans Lodge at Mount Moriah (now abandoned) in West Philadelphia. Was surprised to see the engraving of a horse- He was a Civil war soldier in the Pennsylvania Calvary, wounded in battle, discharged and shortly after died. The CDV is the only known image of J Evans Lodge.

How interesting, David. Yes, there's much information on the Internet for those willing to do the detective work! Good luck in your research. As for this particular eBay auction, it's unfortunate the original auction photo is no longer available; and not knowing the name of the Seller makes it harder to research. However, the fact that you've announced online that you're searching for this particular CDV may eventually lead to success. If I learn anything else I'll post here.

New Skyfire EP - Studio update
Hello guys
just thought I would post some links with some new footage from our recording session of the new EP .
These clips are mostly focusing on the solos, but I will post more clips later of some other stuff as well.
As always we drank too much so you´ll have to deal with the low budget presentation, but at least the audio sounds ok I think.

Not really sure. We have alot of songs written so now we have to decide which ones to use for the EP, then record everything properly. So Jocke hasnt begun to write the lyrics yet. I think there will be 5 songs on the EP and it will be around 25-30 minutes long.

The new material sounds quite amazing, just from these short clips. I can already tell that a full song is going to blow everyone away, once you guys release one. It seems like the new material is a solid mix of all the Skyfire styles wrapped in a new package. And the keyboard work is reminding me alot of "Timeless Departure"! Cant wait to hear the new EP! Cheers!

SKYFIRE promo 2012 sample
Hey guys, Martin from Skyfire here with an announcement. As you may have noticed, we are delayed (as usual!) The EP hasnt been released yet, but there is a good explanation for this.
Skyfire is unsigned at the moment so we have decided to send out a promo to some selected record labels in case some of them might be interested. Otherwise we will release the EP as a digital download ourselves.
But for now you can enjoy the sample from the promo song Like a Shadow!
The winners in our x-mas facebook competition will get an exclusive copy of the promo cd (including artwork), there are only 15 copies being made and ten will be handed out to our fans! Thats why we kept you guys waiting! Keep your eyes open for new competitions and thanks for your support!

Dan "Punkass" Caldwell from The TapouT Crew at NYCC 2011
This weekend, The Fight Nerd was at New York Comic Con 2011, and unfortunately for me, MMA related things were hard to come by due to a variety of reasons. However, fate intervened while I was wandering around the floor, as I ran into Dan Caldwell AKA Punkass from The TapouT crew! Dan and I nerded it up and discussed his own personal nerdom and his epic toy collection, then chatted about MMA including his pick for Jon Jones VS Lyoto Machida at UFC 140 and what he thinks is next for Kenny Florian. For those wondering, this interview was done moments after Punkass made an appearance on "Toy Hunter" from Travel Channel, so enjoy the aftermath of that episode that we inadvertently captured!
