BRIDGING THE GAPS: HOW CROSS-DISCIPLINARY TRAINING WITH MBAs CAN IMPROVE TRANSACTIONAL EDUCATION, PREPARE STUDENTS FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE, AND ENHANCE UNIVERSITY LIFE
Freeman, Seth, Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
A. The Rising Tide of Criticism
In recent years, a growing chorus of law school critics has argued that legal education is not preparing law students to practice law. Cameron Stracher, a New York Law School professor, puts the general problem this way:
There appears to be an emerging consensus that although law schools may teach students how to 'think like a lawyer,' they don't really teach them how to be a lawyer. . . . In addition to misleading students, the current system [of legal education] harms clients who often assume that their lawyers have more experience than they do.
This emerging consensus found clear expression in a January 2007 report by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (the "Carnegie Report").2 Visits to sixteen law schools in the United States and Canada revealed that:
Most law schools give only casual attention to teaching students how to use legal thinking in the complexity of actual law practice. Unlike other professional education, most notably medical school, legal education typically pays relatively little attention to direct training in professional practice. The result is to prolong and reinforce the habits of thinking like a student rather than an apprentice practitioner, conveying the impression that lawyers are more like competitive scholars than attorneys engaged with the problems of clients. Neither understanding of the law is exhaustive, of course, but law school's typically unbalanced emphasis on the one perspective can create problems as the students move into practice.
Although the Carnegie Report shed new light on the issue, leading practitioners were already well aware of the problem. Business lawyers have been particularly dissatisfied. Charles M. Fox, a former senior partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, wrote about the lack of transactional training years earlier, noting that while most junior associates know how to handle a litigation assignment, they have little, if any, idea how to work with a contract.4 Christopher E. Austin, a corporate partner at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, says many law school graduates are not well-prepared for a transactional practice and that, among other things, they frequently lack the transactional skills they need. "Many people come with virtually none of those skillsdrafting and negotiating a complex contract, conducting due diligence. . . .We find we have to start on a very basic level."5 To deepen my understanding of the problem, I spoke about transactional training with several other partners at leading transactional law firms in New York and Chicago. Each one said something very similar.6
Law students themselves clearly sense they need more "transactional skills training," as the practitioners say. Victor Fleischer, a law professor at the University of Illinois College of Law, notes:
[Law] [s]tudents crave deal experience. About 90 percent of Columbia Law School graduates work as corporate transactional lawyers or litigators with corporate clients within five years of graduation. Consider a typical law student who accepts a job at a large firm. She has spent perhaps 95 percent of her time in law school reading and discussing cases and law review articles. Once in practice, she will go days or weeks at a time without picking up a case or a law review article. Instead, her days will be filled with drafting, reviewing, and marking up transactional documents, negotiating language with opposing counsel . . . and composing memos, emails, and letters to colleagues and clients.7
Law schools can do a much better job training students how to practice law. My interest in this task grew in the fall of 2005 as I began to develop a cross-disciplinary8 negotiation course for New York University ("NYU") law students and business students. The more I learned, the more I discovered the extent of the problem, and ways a course could help solve it. …

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Everything about the Dodgers-Pirates rivalry
was how Jim Tracy remembered it. The Dodgers jumping out to an
early lead. Olmedo Saenz getting an important hit. The offense
being more than good enough.
Tracy's only problem is he's now in the opposing dugout.
Jason Repko homered and tripled to drive in four runs in the
first two innings, and the Dodgers roughed up their former
manager's new team, beating the Pirates 8-3 Monday in Pittsburgh's
home opener. The Pirates are 1-7 -- their worst start since they had
the same record in 1974, when they went on to win a division title.
"One-and-7 obviously isn't the way you want to start," Tracy
said. "But the [Dodgers] team I managed last year started 12-2 and
we won 71 games. So it's not a large enough sample size of games.
It doesn't mean this is the kind of team we're going to be for the
next six months."
Tracy's Dodgers were 427-383 in five seasons, or 44 games above
.500. And nearly half of that edge came from being 20 games above
.500 against the Pirates -- 27-7. Los Angeles is 16-3 in Pittsburgh
since 2001 and has won nine of 10 and 19 of 22 overall against the
Tracy was allowed to leave by the Dodgers following a 91-loss
season that was one of their worst since relocating from Brooklyn
in 1958. He became the first former Dodgers manager to oppose the
club since Leo Durocher managed the Astros in 1973.
"Obviously, it's kind of special," Tracy said.
At least until the game started.
Actor Michael Keaton requested a mulligan and got it after
throwing the ceremonial first pitch into the dirt, and responded by
throwing a pitch down the middle. Pirates left-hander Zach Duke
(0-1) probably wished he could do the same after walking Rafael
Furcal ahead of Repko's first homer, a drive into the left-field
seats on an 0-2 pitch. Cody Ross followed later in the first with a
run-scoring double as the Dodgers scored two or more runs in the
first inning for the fifth time in seven games.
Duke, fifth in the 2005 NL Rookie of the Year voting after going
8-2 with a 1.81 ERA in half a season, fought with his control all
afternoon as the Dodgers opened a 7-0 lead by the fifth. Duke threw
only 48 of 94 pitches for strikes.
"I was all over the place," Duke said. "My release point was
all over the place, and I couldn't make key pitches."
Duke got into trouble again in the second by walking pitcher
Odalis Perez on five pitches, and Furcal doubled ahead of Repko's
two-run triple that made it 5-0.
"I had two strikes on me both of those at-bats and I'm just up
there trying to stay alive, put the ball in play and get something
out of the at-bat," said Repko, 0-for-4 against Duke last season.
"I had two solid at-bats."
Saenz added a two-run homer in the fifth during a three-hit day
and is 9-of-14 with three homers and 11 RBI in four games in
Pittsburgh over the last two seasons.
"Believe me, I don't try to get into it," Saenz said. "Maybe
I hit the ball better here than in other parks."
Perez (1-0) limited the already slumping Pirates to one run and
five hits over 5 1-3 innings after giving up seven runs and nine
hits in three innings in his first start.
Perez allowed six runners over the first three innings but
wasn't lifted until Franquelis Osoria came on to get Jose Castillo
and Humberto Cota in succession with runners on second and third
and a run in during the sixth. Takashi Saito also got the Dodgers
out of a jam in the seventh, getting Castillo to ground into an
inning-ending force play with the bases loaded and two runs in.
The Pirates' Jason Bay brought a .375 average into the game only
to go 1-for-5 and strand seven runners.
"A few guys on this team probably tried to do too much a few
times, myself included," Bay said.
Game Notes
The sellout crowd of 39,129 on a sunny afternoon with
temperatures in the mid 60s was the second-largest since PNC Park
opened in 2001, topped only by the 39,392 who turned out on Aug.
11, 2002. ... Saenz is 6-for-7 with two homers and five RBI
against Duke. ... The only other former Dodgers managers to oppose
the club since 1900, according to team research, are Chuck Dressen,
Casey Stengel and Ned Hanlon. ... SS Jack Wilson stole second base
in the first, the Pirates' first stolen base in eight games. ...
The Pirates were 3-5 after eight games last season before finishing
with 95 losses. ... The Dodgers haven't lost a series to Pittsburgh
since 1998.

These 9 in bullys seemed a little different than usual, not quite the same quality as I am used to seeing from Best Bully's.

Not sure what to think...
I have been buying Bully Sticks from Best Bully for a long time and have always been pleased with the quality of the bully sticks, but recently the last couple orders have not been as good of quality. It used to be that the packs of 25 bully sticks were a good mixture of thin and thicker bully sticks but now I'm lucky if I get three that are thicker out of 25. I understand there is no guarantee with the thickness, but it has definately changed within the last year. I'm not sure what to think...definately disappointed.

Alternative Approaches to Interest Arbitration: Lessons from New York City
Lipsky, David B., Katz, Harry C., Public Personnel Management
The rise of unionism among public sector employees in the 1960s led to the passage of state-level legislation regulating collective bargaining between state and local governments and their employees. In the vast majority of states that passed such legislation, public sector employees were denied the right to strike, and legislators established impasse procedures as a substitute for the right to strike as a means of resolving public sector disputes. For police officers and firefighters, in approximately 30 states the law requires that if the parties fail to reach agreement on a new contract through negotiation (and in most of these states mediation) then they must submit their dispute to arbitration. (1) The collective bargaining relationship between the PBA and New York City helps illustrate the contrast between the judicial approach and the negotiation approach to interest arbitration. (2)
Research on the Effect of Interest Arbitration on the Bargaining Process and Outcomes
After the rise of public sector bargaining in the 1960s, researchers made a considerable effort to use empirical data and rigorous statistical methods to determine whether and to what extent interest arbitration affects salaries, compensation, and other bargaining outcomes. Research in the 1960s and 1970s explored whether arbitrated outcomes were significantly different from negotiated outcomes, or whether outcomes arrived at through conventional arbitration differed significantly from outcomes arrived at through final offer arbitration. Missing from this body of research, however, was any effort to include in a statistical model a variable that denotes a critical dimension of arbitration--namely, the distinction between the judicial approach and the negotiation approach. Accounting for this dimension is essential in understanding the arbitration process and its effects on outcomes. Practitioners and researchers need to recognize that understanding the nature and effects of interest arbitration requires looking into the "black box" of the arbitration process.
There is a surprising lack of recent research on the use of interest arbitration to resolve police and fire disputes. In 1996 a report by a taskforce appointed by the U.S. secretary of labor noted "a surge of scholarly interest in public sector labor relations" in the 1960s and 1970s. The taskforce pointed out that as public sector bargaining laws matured, "conflict declined and the challenges in the field diminished or held less interest for academics," with the consequence that in recent years there has been "an almost total lack of academic research--despite the fact that demands and pressures on the public workplace have been increasing." (3)
During the period when scholars did focus their energies on interest arbitration in the public sector, they concentrated principally on two important topics: (1) the effect of the availability and use of interest arbitration on bargaining outcomes, particularly salaries, (4) and (2) the effect of interest arbitration on the parties' incentives to negotiate and settle contracts on their own. (5) With respect to the former effect, many researchers and practitioners suspected that interest arbitration would significantly increase police and fire salaries. Implicitly, if not explicitly, researchers seemed to believe that the effect of interest arbitration on salaries would be analogous to the effect of collective bargaining itself, and in particular that it would constitute an intrusion on management's unilateral authority to set salaries and result in salaries that would be higher than would otherwise be dictated by market factors. Whether arbitrated salaries would be significantly different from salaries negotiated by the parties through collective bargaining was a different matter, however, and some researchers attempted to estimate the effect of arbitration independent of the effect of collective bargaining.
With respect to the latter effect, many experts believed that the use of conventional interest arbitration--the form of arbitration that gives the arbitrator broad authority to fashion an award--would decrease the parties' incentives to negotiate their own agreement (the so-called "chilling effect") and eventually result in the parties' dependence on outside parties to settle their disputes (the so-called "narcotic effect"). …

Given a pair of quick goals by Patrick Sharp, the Dallas Stars pushed the cruise-control button.
Jason Pominville and the Minnesota Wild raced past them and surged back into the series.
Pominville scored twice and had an assist for the Wild, and Minnesota roared back from an early two-goal deficit for a 5-3 victory on Monday night that sliced the Stars' advantage in the Western Conference quarterfinals to 2-1.
"That was a nice way to respond," said Pominville, who scored with 47 seconds left in the second period to give the Wild their first postseason lead in seven games, a span of nearly 400 minutes, and added an empty-netter in the closing...

|Nailing It: J.J. Grey & Mofro, November 25 at the Redstone Room
|Music - Feature Stories
|Written by Jeff Ignatius
|Wednesday, 19 November 2008 02:15
When J.J. Grey got off the road late last year, he immediately started preparations for what would become the Orange Blossoms record.
"I essentially recorded the album in November," he said last week.
Then he did it again in January.
And once more in February.
And then he went into the studio to finish the job with his band, Mofro.
The Florida-based J.J. Grey & Mofro will be performing at the Redstone Room next week, showing off the dirty Southern soul that Grey so labored over on Orange Blossoms.
It's Mofro's fourth record, brighter than its 2007 Alligator debut, Country Ghetto. "I wanted to keep things up," Grey said. That's evident on the title track, a sunny slice of Florida that kicks the record off. AllMusic.com characterized the album as "low-key yet surging backwoods R&B."
Like most albums made with such care, it is measured and sometimes over-deliberate. But it's also undeniable - in the strength of its songs and performances and in a stylistic circumference that makes it nearly universal. The stew also includes funk, Southern rock, and a little hip hop, with horns and jam-band digressions, and through it all is Grey's voice - which can run from a church-y growl to ballad-soft Anthony Keidis.
Grey said that the solitary process of recording Orange Blossoms was the idea of longtime Mofro producer Dan Prothero. "Dan ... has been wanting to do a record where he gets me to play everything," Grey said. "In his mind, there's something ... sort of quaint ... . There's something he liked about the demos."
He added: "Some things get lost in interpretation" from demo to finished recording. So Grey has upgraded the equipment in his home studio, so that demos can be used in a final recording.
Grey certainly gave it several shots, but he doesn't buy into the magic of initial recordings. "You fall in love with what you did on the demo," he said. "And [you think that] nothing's ever that good again, which is nonsense. You're just used to hearing it that way."
And Grey said that there was something tedious about doing it all himself. "After about the second or third round of recordings that I had done ... I was kind of tired of hearing myself play," he said.
So that's when he brought in his Mofro bandmates, and he said they had no trouble capturing the spirit of the demos. He knew what he wanted - "All the material was down pretty much to a science when we hit the studio" - and "they're all good enough that they can re-create some of that and bring more," Grey said. "The guys I get to play with, they can nail it."
Two songs - "On Fire" and "WYLF" - actually are largely the demo versions, and the latter is a song that Grey originally wrote nearly 15 years ago. He tried it in the studio when he and Mofro were recording their debut, 2001's Blackwater, but let it sit until he began work on Orange Blossoms.
"The original demo had a certain feel to the pocket, with the bass and the kick drum," he said. "I always felt like I love this tune, [but] I just felt we never could get a good take of it in the studio."
That search for perfection seems somewhat contrary to Grey's songwriting M.O. He said that he doesn't force his writing, and that he often doesn't know what a song is about when he writes it. "Dew Drops" is the story of a childhood friend who lost his mother and was abused by his father: "Mama ain't a day goes by I don't think about him / Well I can see his face still / Dull gray eyes burnt out to ash Lord to hell and gone again / I got to get away from him."
But it was only with distance that he recognized the narrator as a figure from his past instead of a product of his imagination.
It's an odd thing, in the sense that as much work as Grey put into recording Orange Blossoms, there's still room for discovery in the songs and the album. Even though it was released in August, "I'm still sort of learning the songs," he said.
J.J. Grey & Mofro will perform at the Redstone Room on Tuesday, November 25. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 at the door. The show starts at 8 p.m., and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue opens. For tickets, visit RedstoneRoom.com.

great colors.
Oh wow, I love these colors.
Lovely focus, nice contrast between the dark plant and its pale flowers...
So Sweet
... Are beautiful, aren't they?
So pretty
It's lovely~! It's a shame the flowers are vanishing for another year.
So beautiful!
I love that!
Lovely colors
Thank you ..i'm gonna miss those colors
Summer is slowly beginning, there will be lots of new, interesting colors
To be honest i don't find summer interesting..my favorite seasons are Autumn and Spring
Why's that?
Well i love sunny days but they seem to be "too plain" idk how else to explain it ..there are not dramatic changes in nature like in autumn or spring

Objective: Around and after menopause, several indefinite symptoms, so-called climacteric symptoms, appear. These symptoms are influenced by many factors, including hormonal status, aging, and psychosocial conditions. But, these factors are complex and interrelated. To investigate the effects of aging, we reevaluated climacteric symptoms, especially physical symptoms of Japanese women.
Design and Methods: Subjects were 388 postmenopausal Japanese women who visited our menopause clinic. All of the subjects had natural menopause. Data from 52 women in their 40s (mean age ± SD 47.3 ± 1.7 years, periods after menopause ± SD 2.4 ± 2.1 years), 138 women in the first half of their 50s (52.3 ± 1.3 years, 2.9 ± 2.4 years), 137 women in the second half of their 50s (56.8 ± 1.5 years, 6.0 ± 4.1 years), and 61 in their 60s (64.3 ± 4.1 years, 14.3 ± 7.0 years) were recorded. There was no significant difference in the period after menopause between the 52 women in their 40s and that of the 138 women in the first half of their 50s. Climacteric symptoms were objectively assessed at the first visit by use of the Keio Climacteric Questionnaire, which grades the severity of 29 physical and 11 psychological symptoms.
Results: In general, the prevalence of symptoms increased through the late half of the subjects' 50s but decreased in their 60s. Among the 40 symptoms assessed by the Keio Climacteric Questionnaire, general fatigue was the most severe one for women in their 40s and 50s but not for women in their 60s. On the other hand, forgetfulness increased with age and was the most severe symptom among women in their 60s. Shoulder stiffness maintained a high severity score in all age groups. The prevalence of seven symptoms (hot flashes, sweating, joint pain, irritability, numbness, vaginal dryness, and dysphagia) was significantly higher in women in the first half of their 50s than those in their 40s. For women in their 60s, the prevalence of three of these symptoms (hot flashes, sweating, and irritability) decreased significantly, but that of other symptoms showed no significant change. From the first half of their 50s to the 60s, the prevalence of lumbago, loss of hair, and wrinkled skin significantly increased, while that of other symptoms was stable or decreased.
Conclusion: Among climacteric symptoms of Japanese postmenopausal women, it is thought that aging more strongly influences joint pain, numbness, vaginal dryness, and dysphagia, which are all in the category of physical symptoms. As lumbago, loss of hair, and wrinkled skin, which are also physical symptoms, seemed to be more prevalent in older age groups, it is necessary to manage these symptoms in the early stages of menopause to help maintain patients' quality of life.

This book is an intermediate body of work; a book between two projects. The objective of this work is to: 1) utilise photographs of local people and their customs in our home district; 2) to illustrate some of the locations that we have visited and 3) to acknowledge family and friends that have participated in my journey in Thailand. I became aware while compiling material for my next book that there were many photographs that were not going to be seen outside of my computer. There was too much material being produced that would not be used. I have been intensely photographing Thailand for over five years and this has generated a mass of material. This book contains the photographs that would not have been seen, so I have described this work as being an intermission, a body of work between the last book and the next.

This is a special book - I have never before been approached to cover a funeral and cremation. On reflection, given cultural differences and the fact that I live in Thailand, perhaps it isn't so odd. The subject is the father of Nang and the father-in-law of Daeng. Daeng and Nang I have known for some time, having had Daeng's help in the past for small building projects on my property. We also live in the same village, Ban Kham Phom in Chumphae District, Khon Kaen Province. The subject's name is Kham Jaiauea; was born on 15/04/2480 and died on 24/02/2558, he was 76 years old. Thai funerals are usually a minimum of 3 days in length; the final day involves breakfast and lunch for attendees, family and friends socialising, monks chanting, family rites, the procession to the local temple and last, the cremation of the body. This third and final day is documented in this book.

This book is about Thai people; those we met briefly while travelling and those we know well from our home village in Isaan. These photographs represent people from the south of Thailand to the north and from west to east. We travelled extensively for six months before ceasing for a period at home in Baan Khampom, Isaan. I continued to document people and their daily activities for the next six months in this region, as well as visiting surrounding provinces. The people of Thailand are comprised of many sub-cultures from various surrounding countries; this makes travelling the 72 provinces of Thailand like exploring 72 different countries. Each province can present differing geography as well as culture, history and language. This is what makes travelling Thailand a highly sensory experience, something that could take a lifetime to achieve. This year long period of exploration attempts to document as many diverse people as possible within the constraints of this time period. I made the assumption that I should be able to achieve at least one interesting photograph each day.

The photographs in this book were taken over the period of 2009 and 2010. All material for this work came from a small stretch of ocean coastline at Blairgowrie backbeach, in a tiny bay where Jessie McPherson's Rock protrudes into the ocean. At this location there are many rockpools, both shallow and deep, calm and angry. All photographs were taken with a Pentax *istD digital SLR camera. No post processing or manipulation has occurred in Photoshop, except for brightness and contrast adjustments; the images truly represent actual characteristics of water under various conditions.

 These images were all made in my home studio at Frankston over a three year period. Many images were made in this time with various subjects and techniques, but this selection is of nature only, other work being represented elsewhere. The original box set was comprised of nature subject material and printed on hot pressed rag, providing a unique and distinct print.

This book is about people. The photographs presented here are mostly taken in our home territory of Isaan, Thailand. This journey was four months in duration and covered many areas of Thailand and into Lao Peoples Democratic Republic. The people represented here are friends, family and people we met along the way. Most of the people we visited were in remote areas of Isaan and Lao PDR and all are from rural communities. There is little in the way of tourist coverage here as we tended to head deep into farming areas far from tourist trails. Some locations are so remote I can't find a record of them on any maps I have sought out. Many destinations and their people had not seen a western visitor previously. We enjoyed the freedom of not knowing where we were going or who we would encounter. This books documents some very special people from our home village and beyond.

These photographs were taken over a three year period from 1988 to 1990. I was teaching multi-media and computer subjects at Prahran T.A.F.E. during this time. Many people here were my photography students and the others friends. The photographs were the first serious attempts at photographing people. I had never bothered to photograph people prior, preferring to deal with inanimate material such as nature subjects. I had always considered people too difficult to deal with and not worth the effort. They tend to move round too much and talk; a rock is easier to deal with.

The photographs in this book were taken in my final year of a photography course at Photography Studies College, Melbourne. The work resulted in a solo exhibition at Manyung Art Gallery, Mount Eliza and were submitted as my portfolio for the qualification of Diploma of Illustrative Photography. The exhibition was formally opened by John Cato, my teacher at the time and subsequently a friend over the past 30 years. These photographs have been printed in every photo magazine in Australia and some international. They have been used extensively in other magazines as illustrations for articles, used for product advertising and published in many coffee table photo books over the years.

These photographs represent a small portion of activities and travels in my second stage life journey. The photographs in this book were all taken during 2008 and 2009 over four trips to Thailand during these years. My travels included both Southern Thailand and the North East (Isaan) where I first met Thanjira. Many of the photographs are of home territory in Isaan and include friends, relatives and locals from this rural farming community.

text: Is anyone having a hard time balancing the dog and baby? My poor dog was super protective about LO for the first few months. Now that he's mobile the dog and the baby are getting jealous of one another. If one has my attention the other one wants it. I try to give my dog as much one on one time as I can. I guess the big problem is that my DH is not helping. He won't walk the dog or play with her, he's constantly yelling at her even if LO is the one coming after her. And he's not much help with LO either (he's the one that wanted a baby!) I'm really afraid the dog is going to start getting snappy since she's getting so much neg. reinforcement when LO is around. Let me answer some comments ahead: No, my DH does not, will not comprehend this, help more etc--lets just cross off changing his behavior as an option. Anyway, I religiously walk the dog with LO every single evening. Its just so hard, esp since we both work. On the weekends its no different--its all me all the time caring for both of my "kids". Any tips would be great. And no, to me its not "just a dog"--I majored in animal sci, do animal behavior work (get an F in husband behavior though) and was raised by parents who like to say, "animals are people too."

** I posted this on the breastfeeding support board but have had no comments yet :( **
Im so frustrated :( Please any advice is helpful
My baby is 3 weeks old today and we have been ebf. For a while there we we're doing awesome with seedy yellow poopy diapers and now we're back to green. She feeds off one breast, the next feeding she'll move to the next one. I try everything i can to keep her awake cause she tends to fall asleep after about 15 mins or so...its nearly impossible to get her to stay up i tell ya! I try changing her diaper, undressing blah...she grts back on comfort suckles for like a minute and falls back asleep... :/
so this morning we started feeding at 7:45 she ate...fell asleep but continued to comfort suck so i left her on hoping she gets even a little hindmilk...i changed her diaper and she woke up so i put her back on the same side...i compressed my breast to see what was coming out and even two hours later squishy breast and all... it still looks like foremilk. :(
she has been nursing on and off since 7:45 ... The first stretch she nursed a good 20 mins then we went back and forth between comfort sucking and feeding.
im really frustrated...she has jaundice and had low birth weight ...i just want to get her the hindmilk so she gets the calories and fat she needs. Btw...she does not appear to be too fussy or gassy...ive heard this can be a problem with too much foremilk.
Any advice? Please help.

The Annex application is a good example of how to design a person-against-person or person-against-machine web application. The UI was created using HTML and CSS and the AI engine was implemented completely in JavaScript.
The Annex game demonstrates some interesting features:
- JavaScript implementation of a game AI engine
- Control DOM object dynamically with JavaScript & CSS
- Usage of classes, scope, and data encapsulation within JS
AI engine
The AI engine is based on the Minimax Game(Adversarial) Tree algorithm. In game tree theory, searching depth and accuracy of the chessboard evaluation method are the most important aspects related to game AI ability. In Annex, the default searching depth is 3, implying the difficulty level of the game, and can be increased to a higher value, like 4 or 5. The higher searching depth means greater difficulty, more CPU time and memory consumption, and slower computer player response. In the js/annex.js file, this is mapped to the "level" property:
level: 3,
For the evaluation method, Annex integrates three aspects: mobility, number of pieces, and position value.
- Mobility is how many places the current player could possibly set a stone.
- Number of pieces is how many of each player's markers are on the board.
- Position value means how favorable each position is on the reversi board.
In a reversi game, occupying valuable places on the board is very important. In the js/annex.js file, the evaluation function is:
evaluate: function(place, _color, _board, _level, _heap)
The parameters are:
- "place" means where to set the stone
- "_color" is the stone color
- "_board" is the chessboard before setting the stone
- "_heap" is the game tree data structures
- "_level" is a flag pointing out whether to stop searching the game tree
At first, the function sets the stone on the board to get a new chessboard, and then, evaluates the new board on mobility and the value of the pieces. The value of the pieces is made up of the value of the place where the pieces are set, as well as the number of pieces. Then, the AI engine can evaluate each move and choose the best one. In js/annex.js, the function bestPlace(possible) does this:
ret = possible[0]; var value = this.evaluate(ret); for (var p=1; p<possible.length; p++) { var v = this.evaluate(possible[p]); if (v > value){ value = v; ret = possible[p]; } }
Here, the variable "possible" means a collection of possible setting places for a player, according to the Reversi rules.
Control DOM object dynamically
In some cases, we need to make some DOM objects visible/invisible. For Annex, we used a css swither named "display_none":
.display_none { display:none; z-index:-1; }
We can use this to control whether DOM objects display on screen (with the Jquery Javascript library) like this:
$('#go_visible').removeClass('display_none'); $('#go_invisible').addClass('display_none');
In Annex, this is used in many places, for example, in js/annex.js, when controlling the help panel:
showHelp: function() { this.playSound('snd_navclick'); this.endConfigure(); $('#help').removeClass('display_none'); }, exitHelp: function() { this.playSound('snd_navclick'); $('#help').addClass('display_none'); },
When you need to show the help panel, the showHelp() function makes the DOM object with the id attribute value "help" visible on screen. The exitHelp() function is called to disable it.

Commonwealth Heads of African Public Service meet in Kigali
GOVERNMENT| July 16, 2012, 1:10 p.m.
The Commonwealth Heads of Africa Public Services are meeting in Kigali, Rwanda for a forum on national development goals.
Rwandan Prime Minister Dr. Pierre Damien Habumuremyi officially opened the 9th Forum at the Serena Hotel today.
He said that African public services need a visionary leadership that provides a framework for an effective public service delivery with a focused direction.
The Premier reminded his audience that in order to foster accountability, an effective and reward system must be put in place to ensure an efficient and effective service delivery to the citizens.
"Accountability is meant essentially three core purposes namely : to remove any abuse or misuse of public authority, to offer assurance of the good use of public resources and adherence to the law and public service values; but also to promote learning by continuously improving good governance and public management", said Dr Habumuremyi.
The theme of the conference is "The Whole of Government Approach to Achieving National Development Goals".
He further said that appropriate mechanisms need to be put in place so as to make sure that the rather limited resources, particularly of the developing countries, serve people's interests and maximize satisfaction of their basic expectations.

This invention is directed generally to health monitoring systems and more specifically to a portable device that monitors health signs and that automatically calls a phone number or sends an email when it detects a condition that requires medical attention.
Existing health monitoring systems comprise a trigger device and a base station connected to a telephone jack that automatically dials an emergency service when a person activates the trigger device. These devices are costly and require a fixed phone line. These devices do not call automatically on detection of a condition that requires attention.
Another health monitoring systems is a pulse oximeter sensor that communicates with a base station using Bluetooth. The base station is capable of detecting a health condition and calling a number. This system is cumbersome and not easily portable as it is composed of two parts.
There is a need for a more convenient, portable and reliable method and apparatus for sending an alert when a condition that requires medical attention is detected.
A unitary remotely configurable portable health monitoring system comprising:
A method for health monitoring using a unitary remotely configurable rule-based portable monitoring system comprising:
A method for health monitoring using a unitary remotely configurable rule-based portable monitoring system comprising:
The present invention with be more clearly understood after reference to the following detailed specifications read in conjunction with the drawings wherein:
Similar reference numerals are used in different figures to denote similar components.
Switches 12 can be any type of button, switch, remote sensor, touch sensor, contact sensor or activation system. Switches 12 are used to initiate or to reset the portable health monitoring system. Switches 12 may be used to turn on/off the portable health monitoring system or to shut off alert center 25.
Health sensors 22 can be simple arrangements to collect health data such as an infrared detector, a temperature reader, a blood pressure reader, a heart rate reader, an insulin reader, a prosthesis data reader, a vibration detector, a colour detector, a pulse oximeter, a CO2 detector, aaccelerometers, gyros. Health sensors generate output signals that are indicative of sensed conditions. The output signals are converted to data sequences.
Transceiver 26 is any type of transceiver or a combination of transmitter and receiver. In a preferred embodiment, transceiver 26 conforms to BlueTooth specifications, 802.11, WiLAN, or any other communication protocol (BlueTooth may also be spelled Bluetooth, with both terms considered equivalent herein). Transceiver 26 can discover other compatible transceivers in the vicinity. Transceiver 26 can establish a temporary two-way connection or a piconet network with other devices equipped with compatible transceivers.
Battery 24 provides power to some of the components of portable health monitoring system 10. It will be understood that battery 24 may be a fuel cell, nickel-cadmium, lithium, alkaline or nickel-hydride battery or any other portable source of electric power. Battery 24 can also be replaced with photovoltaic cells.
When portable health monitoring system 10 is not in operation it remains in a dormant state ("sleep-mode") to conserve the energy of battery 24.
Alert center 25 can be any type of visual, audio, tactile or mechanical user interface means capable of conveying information to the user. An example of visual means is an LED, or any visual information display device. Audio means can be any audio device such as a speaker, a buzzer, a Piezo buzzer. Tactile means can be any tactile sensor such as a heat-generating device. An example of a mechanical means is a vibrator.
Antenna 14 can be any type of antenna including patch antennas and dipole antennas.

In step 30 the portable health monitoring system is in sleep mode. In step 32, health sensors 22 collect data. In step 34, processor 20 compares collected sensor data to acceptable threshold conditions. In step 36, if data is within acceptable thresholds, the system goes to a wait state in step 30 and sleeps for a period of time. If data is not within acceptable thresholds, transceiver 26 is turned on in step 38, and it establishes a wireless connection with a wireless communication device in step 380. Transceiver 26 can be a Bluetooth, WIFI, WiMax transceiver, or any widely available protocol based transceiver technology. In the case of Bluetooth, a Bluetooth transceiver (class 2) can discover any Bluetooth transceiver within a radius of 10 meters seamlessly. A class 1 Bluetooth transceiver can detect any Bluetooth transceiver within a radius of 100 meters.
Launched in 1994 by Ericsson, Bluetooth began as a project to unify communication between different types of electronic devices without the use of cumbersome cable connections. In fact, Bluetooth was taken from the nickname of Viking king, Harald II—who unified warring Viking tribes during the tenth century—and whose discolored teeth were a result of his partiality for blueberries and blackberries.
Bluetooth uses radio chips in electronic devices to enable connectivity over the 2.4 GHz radio frequency (RF) band. The Bluetooth specification (a de facto standard containing information required to ensure that devices supporting Bluetooth can communicate with each other worldwide) defines two transmission ranges for personal area networking. The range is between 10 m and 100 m without a line of sight requirement. The radio link is capable of voice and data transmission up to a maximum capacity of 720 kbps per channel.
In step 382, the wireless communication device dials and establishes a cellular network communication with at least a third communication device based on user parameters and user rules.
In a configuration step, the user defines what phone numbers to dial or SMS or what email addresses to email. The user also defines the rules and conditions under which those numbers/emails are dialed/emailed and what messages are sent. When those conditions occur, those phone numbers are emailed and those SMS/emails are sent.
A cellular network communication is any communication that initiates from a mobile telephony network. Third communication device can be a PSTN phone, a mobile phone, a cable phone, a WIFI phone, a VoIP phone or any telephone system.
In step 384, an alert message is sent to third communication device. The alert message may contain prerecord messages, data, data converted to voice through a synthesizer, or any combination of the above. Alert message may also be an email.
Turning now to
In step 42, the user activates switch 12 and transceiver 26 is turned on in step 44. In step 46, it discovers a wireless communication device in the vicinity. An LED, a buzzer or an audio device may be activated to inform the user of the success/failure of the operation. In step 48, the devices are paired. The user may be prompted to authorize and authenticate the devices. Thus the devices will be paired.
Currently, products allow for a single pairing to be maintained and therefore, if a user moves from his or her car to the office, he or she needs to re-establish the pairing between the mobile phone and Bluetooth headset. Future Bluetooth chipsets are expected to store pairing information so that devices can reconnect automatically once the initial pairing has been set up.
A Bluetooth network is completely self organising, and ad hoc personal area networks (PANs) can be established wherever two or more Bluetooth devices are sufficiently close to establish radio contact. Equipment capable of Bluetooth connectivity is able to self-organise by automatically searching its vicinity for other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Upon establishing a contact, information is exchanged which determines if the connection should be completed or not.
During this first encounter, the Bluetooth devices connect via a process of authorisation and authentication.
Here is how Bluetooth devices connect to each other: Unlike the wired technology Bluetooth is designed to replace, a Bluetooth device does not have to be aware of the devices and capabilities they are attaching to. There is a built in mechanism to inquire for devices, connect to them and once connected discover the services they possess in their database. In its simplest form the devices needing to connect proceed as follows:
Turning now to
In step 50, the user launches a user interface onboard the portable electronic device. A two-way wireless connection is established with the health monitoring system in step 52. The user interface may display existing configuration parameters. The user interface allows the user to set configuration parameters or to change them in step 54. Configuration parameters may include data thresholds such as acceptable temperature, acceptable blood pressure, acceptable heart rate, acceptable insulin level, acceptable pulse, operation hours, operation days, alert messages, buzzer type, buzzer volume, buzzer duration, alarm type. The configuration parameters are stored onboard the health monitoring system in step 56.
The user interface is a program that can be installed onboard the portable electronic device from the monitoring device, from a CD, or from other medium such as Internet.
Numerous other modifications, variations, and adaptations may be made to the particular embodiment of the invention described above without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined in the claims. Hence, while exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been set forth above, it is to be understood that the pioneer inventions disclosed herein may be constructed or used otherwise than as specifically described.

When I first started working on Zeb Vance as a research topic, I had an opportunity to share some of my ideas with a group of senior citizens at a meeting in Black Mountain, North Carolina. During the discussion period that followed my presentation, one woman made several very insightful comments. After the end of the formal program, she came forward and introduced herself as Mrs. Glenn Tucker, the wife of the best scholarly biographer of Vance. She shared with me some of the challenges that she and her husband had faced in working on Zeb Vance: Champion of Personal Freedom, a work that has stood as the finest study of Vance's life for nearly four decades.1
Unfortunately, the challenges that the Tuckers faced forced them to neglect the period after the Civil War. Since the publication of Zeb Vance, the amount of scholarship on the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Gilded Age has expanded enormously. Making use of new analytical approaches and ideas, including gender analysis and modernization theory, scholars have developed much different perceptions of topics such as the role that race played in shaping the United States during the latter part of the nineteenth century. The result is the need for a new biography of Zebulon Vance that places him in the context of historians' rapidly changing perceptions of the American South. Many of the interpretations in this study that differ from those offered by the Tuckers were first presented by other scholars in articles and monographs. I have sought to convey the breadth and depth of this exciting new work as accurately as possible. Where I disagree with some scholars on a point, I have tried to explain why in some detail, using primary sources to support my assertions.
The Tucker biography was not the first scholarly attempt to understand Vance's historical reputation. As early as 1914, J. G. De Roulhac Hamilton discussed important parts of Vance's career in his highly partisan Reconstruction in North Carolina. In this detailed account of events between 1861 and 1876, Hamilton wrote approvingly of virtually everything that Vance did during the period, and he used quotations from Vance letters to support his analysis. Unfortunately, Hamilton's determination to attack African Americans and Republicans—especially William Woods Holden—at every point limited the value of his study. In 1925, Frank Owsley took the opposite stand on the value of Vance's contribution during the Civil War.

Hi everyone,
I'm glad there is a group out here for our October 2009 angel babies...
Just wanted to say hello and hope things are going as well as possible with everyone. I don't know where everyone stands in terms of TTC or what... Just a brief on where I am... We TTC'd after our miscarriage til August when it took. I was thrilled that it was only a few months. I understand some people may have decided to not try again and some may have decided to wait to try, while others may still be trying. No matter what your position, I hope that you are where you would like to be.
Take Care and thanks for letting me in the group!

Oh, SparkPeople, how I've neglected, though not forgotten, you. I have any number of excuses for not keeping up with my fitness and overall health in the past months, but it all comes down to a lack of self-control. I didn't know how easy it was... Read more

So I'm a little off on the exact date, but it's been about a year since I joined SP and really started actively taking charge of my health- so I wanted to celebrate!

I got my copy of The Spark book on Tuesday and ran off to the gym (well, drove-- it was negative 5 here!) I went in, aiming to run intervals for 30 minutes while I read. I hit 30 minutes (averaging a 12 minute mile on a 1% incline) right around ... Read more

My boyfriend and I had a shared birthday celebration (late for his 9/30, early for my 10/9) last night with friends. I had a wonderful time with some of the people I love most in the world. A few gin & tonics and way too many carbs later, I felt... Read more

Sunset today marked the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year and a time to look back on the past year's challenges and remember where we've come from. While I'm only starting to really learn more about Judaism, this seems as good a ti... Read more

Amnesty said Monday that Adele, U2, Madonna, Yoko Ono, Radiohead, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Ke$ha, Sir Paul McCartney and Sting were among those who signed an open letter organized by the group.
The musicians say in the letter that the impact of Pussy Riot's "shockingly unjust trial and imprisonment has spread far and wide, especially among your fellow artists, musicians and citizens around the world."
They urged the Russian authorities to free 23-year old Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and 25-year-old Maria Alekhina, who received 2-year sentences last August for an irreverent punk protest against President Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral. Their parole appeal hearings are due this week.

Dolph Ziggler Sick Of Triple H and WWE Continually Backing Randy Orton
by Amish Patel - August 30, 2013
— Dolph Ziggler spoke to Mike Jones from DC101 in Washington, DC yesterday and seemed to take issue with WWE continually backing Randy Orton. Whether Ziggler was speaking in character or not is to interpretation.
"If you've been familiar with WWE for the last 10 years or so, you would understand without Triple H coming up front and coming out and saying this is our hand picked guy, he's the face, no matter what we're behind him… If you've been watching the last 10 years or so, you'd already know that they made up their mind about him long time ago. No matter what he does, good or bad, they're behind him and they'll go out of their way to cut peoples legs from underneath them to make sure Randy comes out looking great. "So, the fact that it's now out in the open, and I'm allowed to comment on it, it actually makes me sick. I'm really happy from Randy, he's awesome, he's so good at this. It makes me mad how good he is. But the opportunities that he gets over and over again makes that chip on my shoulder feel that much bigger to me. I wanna go out there and prove that they're wrong, prove [to] Triple H that he backed the wrong guy for the last 10 years, and no matter what, I'm going to come out on top, one way or the other."

Flanagan learnt to carve stone while at Birmingham College of Art in the mid 1950s, but then did not return to the material until 1973. He does not like to carve deeply into his chosen block of stone and favours letting the stone reveal its own 'geography'. 'A Nose in Repose' was made in his studio at Watlington in the Chilterns, from Honiton stone from Edgehill Quarry. Flanagan first saw the stone as a pyramidal shape, but then felt it looked like 'a nose... a civil weaponry at peace'. This makes a veiled reference to the Battle of Edgehill during England's civil war. The wood supporting the stone is composed of planed and sandblasted pit-props made at Brackley, Northamptonshire.
