We're excited to announce a brand new offering in our Economy class cabin today, with a fresh new take on plane dining - part of our recently announced £100 million product investment.
The new service introduced from 1stNovember will feel much more like a restaurant service with a menu offering a fresh approach to on board dining including a number of unexpected treats.
The welcome cocktail
During the drink service, we've introduced a welcome cocktail - a refreshing blend of fruit juices with or without vodka, served in a fab new purple glass with a stylish swizzle stick that makes the drink uniquely Virgin Atlantic.
The meal service
You'll now receive a brand new menu and your meal will arrive on a new soft touch, non slip meal tray which is a third smaller than the current tray giving you more space on your table. We've also introduced new bespoke crockery and ergonomically designed cutlery.
On our shorter flights you'll be served a cold breakfast or quintessentially British afternoon tea in a cute deli style box adorned with the words 'High Tea' or 'Good Morning' in the widely spoken languages on board our flights, including German, French, Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin, Arabic and, of course, English.
Dessert Service
Our new separate dessert and hot drink service gives you a more comfortable break between courses. You'll now receive bigger desserts, served with a choice of tea, coffee or a comforting cup of hot chocolate on night flights. The hot drink will be served in a specially insulated paper cup which is much more like something you would get from a coffee shop on the ground.
The usherette tray
The new usherette tray is a fun and retro way for our cabin crew to serve ice creams. Crafted in high quality materials and ergonomically designed, the cabin crew will now walk through the aisles wearing the usherette tray offering snacks during the movies.
The new soft-touch durable tray means we've been able to remove the paper tray liner and our new menu is printed on FSC approved, part recycled card. The new tray is 46% more greenhouse gas efficient over its life cycle than the tray it replaces. With all these changes, Virgin Atlantic will save 132 kilos per aircraft, which is a 4% reduction in CO2, the same amount used to produce 167,000 of our stylish new Economy glass!
Best of all, you'll now have more time to relax at your seat, and enjoy the full in-flight entertainment experience.

This happens I appreciate, but NOT on different flights. The aircraft were knackered, as pointed out in a travel magazine a few weeks later.
Transatlantic to USA, generally good aircraft in good condition. To the holiday destinations - RUBBISH.
At last,these are being spruced up.
New food provision looks interesting - so long as it is edible!!
I'm already looking forward to my 10am welcome cocktail!
Hindu is not a language. Not expected of Virgin
having not flown on the new aircraft yet we have high hopes! Disappointed to see the virgin website states all Gatwick planes to get refurbsihed - the Manchester 747's need it badly too!
A $20.00 voucher toward a future flight..not much compensation after a 9 hour flight!!
It appears they both have the same food and Entertainment service.
25 yr veteran of the run
As for the 1/3 smaller food tray so it 'fits better' on your laptray, i can only assume that means the food portion is 1/3 smaller?!
A - Priority check in / bag drop
B - Priority baggage handling
C - More spacious seating with additional leg room
D - Priority boarding
E - Additional flying club bonus miles
F - You WILL get a completely diffrent meal service served on china crockery with more choices of entree and drinks served in a real glass..... better than purple plastic!
What seats are you talking about specifically? Econ, PE or UC?

Storms Hit Northwest Iowa
(Le Mars) -- Shortly after three o'clock this afternoon, what was a calm day turned very quickly into a stormy day with tornado sightings in Sioux, O'Brien, Cherokee, and Clay counties. Le Mars may have missed the brunt of the storm damage, but we did receive some heavy rains. At the KLEM studios, our rain gauge showed that an inch and two tenths of rain fell within a 45 minute time span. Reports of tree limbs being down are reported in the Orange City and Alton areas. Also there was a report of walnut-size hail that fell on Craig this afternoon. Since the storm arrived at nearly the same time as school was to be dismissed, Dr. Todd Wendt, the superintendent of Le Mars Community Schools gave the order to hold the school children at the schools until the storm passed by.
KLEM's Angela Drake was in Alton during this afternoon's storm and has this report....

May 29, 2016
The Bush administration raised the nation's terror alert warning to its second highest level Tuesday, code orange, signaling a high danger of attack ahead of the Sept. 11 anniversary, government officials said.
The level, which reflects a high risk of terrorist attacks, is one step below the top "red,'' or severe, threat level. The level had been at "yellow,'' in the middle of the five-color scale.
The decision was to be announced by Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge, said the senior administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The officials cited specific threats against U.S. embassies in southeast Asia. There is no specific threat against targets in the United States, but the government opted to raise the alert level because of an increase in communications among suspected terrorists.
The development came as the government closed its embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was the second embassy in the region to be ordered closed because of terrorist fears on the eve of the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, closed earlier Tuesday.

10/22/2006, Pacific Ocean
we all got up at 6 a.m., refueled, and left Monterey harbor this morning. Winds are less than 5 knots and coming from the south (grumble). Se we are motoring again. We look forward to that downwind run to San Diego we kept hearing about.
We saw a pod of dolphins just now.
John at Monterey
Bruce At The Helm
you look totally relaxed, reading all your mail, it sounds like
a lovely afternoon sail. Good work on the leak, not easy to detect!
I read nothing about a glass of good french wine?
Thank you for sharing.
Heeeeeere's TO-TO!
Jan and Vivian, Capriccio
10/21/2006, Monterey Municipal Harbor
After we all got 3 hours sleep, we got up at 8 am in Santa Cruz, had ham and cheese omelettes for breakfast, showered, shopped for fishing tackle, and then left the harbor at about 11 a.m. The wind was 10 knots on the nose, coming from the south. It gradually built to 23 knots from the south with 10 foot seas every 14 seconds. Having to motor this way was pretty slow, the waves slowing our progress so our SOG was only 3.5 knots.
I prepared lunch for the crew, which was romaine salad with roquefort dressing, grated cheese, and freshly sauteed curried salmon cakes. It was a challenge cooking in the bucking seas. Everyone like it except Antoine, who made himself a peanut butter sandwich.
By 4:30 PM we had reached the southern end of Monterey Bay (about 20 miles). Since we were making little headway, and the forecast that the next day's winds would be lighter and from the north, we decided to hang a left and head to Monterey for the night.
So now we sit securef in Monterey Harbor at 6:30 PM, anticipating a relaxing evening and making a nice dinner of Cuban farm-style chicken and brocolli with cheese sauce.
Watching the forecasts for tomorrow, they predict north-west winds in the 5 to 10 knot range.
10/21/2006, Santa Cruz harbor
After our last message, we motorsailed a good length of the way, as we had north winds in the 5 knot range. Around sunset I prepared dinner which consisted of chile con carne (prepared in advance) and fresh green beans steamed in the pressure cooker. Finally around midnight the winds increased to 12 knots and we shut off the engine, sailing about 12 miles offshore on a broad reach and making about 6 knots. John and I alternated three hour shifts throughout the night while Pascale served as additional watch. The night was moonless which made it hard to see, but the brightness of the stars was dazzling. A green phosphorescent trail followed our boat, looking like an underwater neon sign. We had to make a few sharp turns to dodge approaching ships. The MARPA on the radar unit was a Godsend for avoiding ships. MARPA tracks other vessels and gives you their range, bearing, speed and direction.
We made landfall at Santa Cruz Harbor at 4:45 AM, October 21. The moon had still not risen, as it was scheduled to rise very briefly later this morning. 1558 hours on the engine (11 hours elapsed since we started with 1547 hours at Sausalito).
This morning I got up at 8:00 a.m. and am starting to make breakfast and check on our Sailmails while the rest of the crew sleeps.
I used it a lot during service in the Israeli Navy.
one thing I do learned about it is not to replace it with eye watch and the good seamanship finger rules like: "green to green - red to read - don't be a shmock and keep ahead" and others. Although it shoes good and most of the time correct data. I was always checking true bearing changes to a ship in danger.
sail safely, and keep writing
envy you.
Ori Lahav
10/20/2006, at sea
After a frantic day making last minute preparations at the dock, we finally fueled up in Sausalito and headed out at 2:30 PM. We saw 23 knots in the bay but this petered out to 10 knots from the west through the gate, and offshore, 5 knots from the north west. To make reasonable speed, we're motorsailing now, making 6 knots, heading due south. This is the first test of sending an email to our blog from offshore via the single sideband radio.

There is a limited period of time in which to bring Transvaginal Mesh lawsuit Arizona claims. This legally prescribed time limit is referred to as a "statute of limitations". This time limit to file a case prevents a claim from being filed after the designated time has elapsed. If you have been diagnosed or suffered from permanent Transvaginal Mesh failure side effects, you may lose the right to bring a claim if your case is not filed before the statutory deadline.
There are several factors that affect the statutory deadlines for filing Transvaginal Mesh lawsuits including:
• The state where the lawsuit is filed
• The type of injury
• The age of the person bringing the claim
• The state where Transvaginal Mesh was prescribed
Arizona Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit Statute of Limitations
Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 12-541 et seq.
Personal Injury
2 Years
Products Liability
2 Years
Wrongful Death
2 Years
Discovery Rule
In certain situations it isn't reasonable for a person who has suffered an injury to know what caused their injury until a much later date, sometime years. For example, a woman who developed side effects after surgery, but did not know that it may have caused the side effects.
The above state statute of limitations (time to bring a legal claim) have been provided as a general reference only. Statutes of limitations can change at any time by the actions of the legislature or courts of the particular state. For a full review of any potential legal claims and relevant statutes of limitation related to Transvaginal Mesh side effects it is important to consult with an attorney who handles Transvaginal Mesh lawsuits to determine how the law applies to your specific legal claims.

Making A Difference
We believe that the manufacturers of transvaginal mesh products should be held accountable for any harm they are legally responsible for and people should be fairly compensated for damages caused by surgery mesh complications… find out more

A dapper looking Fernando Verdasco was spotted wearing a chic, dark grey suit from the Calvin Klein Collection on the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala's opening of the 'American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity' exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum on Tuesday evening in New York City. He's currently starring in the sexy global ad campaign for the design house's X Underwear line.
Seriously can Nando ever look bad? He really pulls off a handsome look here which is SO much more than I could say for Tina Fey:
I bet there's one pissed-off person looking for his missing coveralls and I think I may have found him (he's got a hammer in his hand and isn't afraid to use it, btw.) I don't think he'll take them back though - the corset alteration might be a bit too much for him to take.
Damn you Liz Lemon. Damn you.

Perhaps his laissez-faire attitude in prep for Madrid stems from low expectations/inspiration as Toni confirmed Monday that his nephew will indeed be competing there. Or maybe he expects the enthusiastic hometown crowd to pull him through with little practice? Thank you, Rich <3ReplyDelete

|Tree inclusion debated for local mini park
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Holyoke City Council members discussed possible plans for the mini park located on the southeast corner by the stoplight at their recent meeting Tuesday, Oct. 15.
Council member Scott Murray disclosed to council members that Linda Langelo, a member of the mini park committee, had recently emailed him because she was concerned with the planned removal of the trees at the mini park.
In the email Langelo offered suggestions for trees which she thought would be a good fit for the area.
Some council members were skeptical of including a tree because of the problems trees have caused at the park in the past. Some trees did not survive when planted in the area, causing several replacement attempts. The roots of those that did flourish damaged the concrete.
"Personally, I don't think we need any trees down there," council member Kevin Scott said. Fellow council member J.C. Peckham stated that he understood her point, but thought a tree would be too much of a hassle.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- When George McGovern died Sunday morning at the age of 90, the country lost a lion of the political left. Longtime CBS News political analyst Dotty Lynch lost a friend.
A pollster with McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, Lynch and her husband, who also worked on the McGovern campaign, maintained a close relationship with the understated South Dakota senator over the following 40 years, seeing him most recently this summer for his 90th birthday celebration.
"He seemed good, a little bit more frail than the last time we had seen him but still traveling, going strong, making speeches, and very, very committed to a number of causes," Lynch said.
According to Lynch, George McGovern the person was exactly the same as George McGovern the politician: a kind and smart man with a wonderful sense of humor.
Lynch said Mcgovern's legacy would, of course, include his efforts on behalf of the nation's poor and hungry, but more broadly she thinks George McGovern will be accurately remembered as a man who picked himself up off the political mat after his landslide defeat to Richard Nixon, and made a difference.
"His legacy is going to stay and his memory is going to stay for a long time," Lynch said.
Funeral services for George McGovern will be held this Friday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A private burial will take place at a later date at Rock Creek Cemetery here in Washington.

Your body is constantly growing and regenerating new skin as the outer layer of skin cells die and slough off. Your facial skin is no exception to this process, but it's more delicate than the skin on the rest of your body. For this reason, it's important to use an exfoliator designed specifically for facial skin. Without proper exfoliation, facial pores can become clogged by dead skin cells, moisturizers and cosmetics, resulting in infection and skin irritations. As with other skin care products, it's important to take note of your specific skin type--whether dry, oily or combination--and purchase an exfoliator that's right for you.
There are numerous scrubs and microdermabrasion products to choose from, as well as facial exfoliators formulated for those with sensitive skin, psoriasis, eczema and acne-prone skin. For optimal results, exfoliate once or twice weekly, and always apply a moisturizing sunscreen after exfoliating to protect your newly exposed facial skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

(WUSA9) -- Lymphedema can be a serious complication of breast cancer treatments. It brings on painful swelling within a few days, months, or even years after surgery. But there are several different treatment methods available to reduce or prevent the swelling from getting worse. The newest therapeutic advancement is called Lympha Touch.
Breast cancer survivor Raissa Kushnir is stitching a sampler for her third granddaughter.
"It's something I love to do and I have to finish because I've got to start on Christmas stockings," said Kushnir.
Normally it would take Raissa three months to finish a sampler, but this one has taken 8 months because her swollen fingers are no longer nimble.
She told us, "After I do this about 15-20 minutes I have to take a break because my hand starts to hurt."
The swelling in her arm and hand was so debilitating it forced this former 6th grade language arts elementary school teacher to move up her retirement by two years.
"It was just getting harder to grade papers, hard to be on a computer, harder to hold a pen. My arm would start hurting, my hand especially would start hurting," shared Kushnir.
Margaret Walberg-Silva with the Center For Rehabilitation at Sibley Memorial Hospital says she sees this a lot especially in her breast cancer patients. It's called Lymphedema.
"Lymphedema will develop in any area where the lymph nodes have been removed or compromised," said Walberg-Silva. "So they can not fully function as a relay station to move fluid out of the arm, so it can be absorbed... into the heart and out of the body."
Kushnir's lymph nodes were compromised in her battle with breast cancer. She had eight rounds of chemotherapy followed by a mastectomy, 36 doses of radiation and then reconstructive surgery.
The standard therapy she followed to manage lymphedema included wearing different compression garments for day and night, rhythmic massage, exercises and arm wrapping.
"We teach them early on how to activate the healthy lymphatic system they still have," said Walberg-Silva.
Then Kushnir's therapist added Lympha Touch.
Margaret Walberg-Silva said, "In layman's terms - a suction pump... the Lympha Touch, by applying suction, actually raises the skin, stretches the fascia, and opens the lymphatic vessels allowing them to drain and allowing us to gently move the fluid in the direction we want."
Kushnir knows there is no cure for lymphedema, but the benefits of Lympha Touch seem to increase after each session.
"It's not skinny, skinny like this arm, but it's a lot more limber," shared Kushnir.
Walberg-Silva added, "It is not a magic wand; it is not a miracle tool but... it does allow us to work in ways that are difficult to work with our hands."

Lady Antebellum has also chosen Hunter Hayes and Sam Hunt to join them as the tour's opening acts.
"The magic of being with fans from all over the country is really why we're ultimately all here," said Lady A's Charles Kelley in a press statement.

If you're going to launch a film about the world's most vexing political problem, there is no venue more suitably spectacular than the United Nations building in New York.
That was the location for last Monday's US premiere of Miral, a new movie about an Arab girl growing up in east Jerusalem during twenty years of tragic Israeli-Palestinian fighting.
As befits a film about occupation, the UN set up security checkpoints to screen me and the other 1,400 invited guests. We were a strange mix of journalists, celebrities, socialites, diplomats, and liberal activists. I was badly delayed by a well-funded woman who had to pass through the metal detector three times before she had fully removed her jewelry.
The UN building was wearing its own war-zone wardrobe, as its half-gutted frame undergoes major renovations.
Inside, I had to present my papers at another… Read more

I got a shit ton of dress clothes - Dockers and Oxford dress shirts. Goddamn office job.
On the fun side, I got SAW and Trivial Pursuit for the 360 and a bunch of cash (which will probably go to games or drugs). I also got The Hangover, Funny People and Role Models on DVD. The only things I DIDN'T get that were on my list are MW2 and Inglorious Basterds.

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

I picked up Inglorious Basterds yesterday and finally got to watch it last night. I couldn't help but think of Sean Devlin and his exploits while watching it.
It definitely gave me more motivation to play the Saboteur. Only wish there was an option to scalp like there was in GUN. THAT would make the game.
Also, MW2 is on sale at Target this week for $40. I happened to get a $50 gift card for Target for Christmas, so that's what I am doing with my lunch break.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of unknown cause.
Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in stool, fever, weight loss and anemia. Standard treatment includes anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and biological drugs.
For patients not responding to medical therapy, surgical removal of the large intestine is often the only remaining treatment option.Learn more
Kappaproct is a potential new medication for patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
Kappaproct is a first in class treatment that provides a local anti-inflammatory effect which in clinical trials has shown to result in significant improvements on the major clinical symptoms.
Kappaproct has very limited systemic absorption. This gives the drug a favorable safety profile, in sharp contrast to many approved treatments.Learn more
Kappaproct is a new way of treating ulcerative colitis – phase III data expected by mid- 2014
All patients with severe ulcerative colitis are not helped by the currently available medical therapies. At InDex Pharmaceuticals, we aim to bring new hope to these patients by developing Kappaproct – a first-in-class treatment with potential to alleviate symptoms such as abdominal pain and frequent, bloody diarrhea, and decrease the need for surgical removal of the large intestine.

Art Galleries
Over thirty years ago, in 1984, Sweet Briar College renovated the 1906 former Refectory (now known as the Anne Gary Pannell Center) to house the school's art collection and art library, to provide an exhibition hall, and to provide offices and classrooms for the art history department. Pannell Gallery also functions as a venue for lectures, classes and other educational programs and public events. Art acquisitions and art collection-related programs and activities are supported in part by the College's Friends of Art.
This main gallery is supplemented by two satellite galleries, one located in the lobby of Benedict Hall and one adjacent to the theater and dance studios in Babcock Fine Arts Center. Babcock Gallery is used as a venue for temporary exhibitions featuring recent work by mid-career practicing professional artists, generally from the Mid-Atlantic region, in a variety of media. Benedict Gallery features a variety of community-based exhibitions, for example the work of gifted children from Amherst County schools, displays showcasing historic documents or artifacts, or the work of local artists. Both Babcock and Benedict galleries also serve as spaces for talks and social events and Babcock Gallery is occasionally used as a teaching and performance space by theater and dance faculty.
Vision Statement
The regular study of original works of art is an invaluable component of a liberal arts education. The Sweet Briar College Art Collection and Galleries enrich the curriculum by providing an ongoing opportunity for students and professors to examine and research significant paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, sculptures and other works of fine art.
Mission Statement
The Sweet Briar College Art Collection and Galleries support the academic curriculum and the cultural life of the College by providing, for teaching and study purposes, a permanent collection of original works of art and by the presentation of exhibitions drawn from the permanent collection or loaned works. Primarily serving Sweet Briar students and professors, the permanent collection, associated exhibitions and related programs also support the College's outreach to alumnae, prospective students, peer institutions and the general public, and provide service to the broader regional and educational community. They maintain as their core purposes: 1) the support of classroom and experiential learning and the stimulation of research in a variety of humanities disciplines; 2) the inspiration of creative work across all the arts; and 3) the cultivation of an appreciation for and understanding of the visual arts within the scope of a liberal arts education.
The Sweet Briar College Art Collection and Galleries maintain institutional memberships in the Association of Academic Museums and Galleries, the Virginia Association of Museums and the American Alliance of Museums.

Biplane Makes An Emergency Landing
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (AP) - A biplane on its way to an airshow for antique aircraft has landed safely on a state highway near Knoxville in south-central Iowa.
Authorities say the plane was headed from Spokane, Wash., to Blakesburg when its engine failed. It landed on Iowa Highway 5/92 about a half-mile west of Knoxville around 10:20 a.m. Thursday.
No injuries have been reported, and Marion County authorities say the plane didn't sustain any damage.
The plane was towed to the Knoxville airport for repairs.
Knoxville is about 35 miles from Blakesburg.
Fort Dodge Man Sentenced To Prison For Meth
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A 32-year-old man from Fort Dodge has been given 5 1/2 years in prison for conspiring to make methamphetamine.
Federal prosecutors say Phillip Farmer Jr. was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Sioux City. He had pleaded guilty in May. Farmer must serve five years of supervised release after he leaves prison.
Prosecutors say that from December 2009 through July 2011, Farmer bought or otherwise acquired pseudoephedrine so he and others could make meth. Prosecutors also say Farmer admitted
selling meth in the Fort Dodge area.
Farmers Talk Drought At Farm Show
BOONE, Iowa (AP) - Farmers typically attend the annual Farm Progress Show in Boone to look to the future.
They want to see the latest equipment, seed, and chemicals, and they want to learn about where the markets are headed.
At this year's three-day show that ended Thursday, plenty of people spoke about the drought, but they noted the last few years have been good. And even during this hot, dry summer, the harvest
might not be as bad as it seems.
While some individuals will lose money, farmers overall may earn more than last year's record net income of more than $100 billion.
Crop insurance and commodity prices are helping to compensate for lower yields.
The USDA estimates farm income of $122.2 billion in 2012, up about 3.7 percent from last year.
Police Dog Dies From Heat
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say the brutal heat is suspected in the death of a Des Moines police dog found dead inside a patrol vehicle.
Harley, a Labrador retriever assigned to the narcotics team, was found Wednesday afternoon. The temperature had already reached the low 90s.
Police Sgt. Chris Scott says Harley had been working with his human partner, Officer Brian Mathis, on Wednesday. Scott says it was Mathis who found Harley dead in the vehicle.
Investigators are checking how long Harley was left inside the vehicle and whether the air conditioner was on or some windows were rolled down.
Scott says the department has "lost a fellow officer who just happened to be a dog."

Obama nominates Justice official to top Labor slot
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama gave a glowing rollout Monday to Thomas Perez, his choice to lead the Labor Department after an aggressive stint as the nation's chief civil rights enforcer. But the nomination quickly ran into trouble as a Republican senator declared he would block the nomination until GOP concerns about Perez's Justice Department tenure are addressed.
Sen. David Vitter said he objects because Perez enforced Louisiana's voting rights laws in a way "that specifically benefits the politics of the president and his administration at the expense of identity security" of registered voters in the state. The Justice Department, he said, has not responded to Vitter's 2011 letter on the subject.
But Obama and his allies pressed ahead with Perez's debut in a new role, in which he would shift from the upper ranks of the Justice Department, saying they expect him to bring the same aggressive mindset to the Labor Department. Labor and civil rights groups predicted he would raise the agency's profile and play a more prominent role in the Cabinet than Hilda Solis, who left the post in January.
Obama called Perez a "consensus builder" whose "story reminds us of this country's promise."
"Tom's made protecting that promise for everybody the cause of his life," Obama said in an appearance with Perez in the White House East Room.
Perez is the only Hispanic so far to be named to Obama's second-term Cabinet.
"Our nation still faces critical economic challenges, and the department's mission is as important as ever," Perez said, sprinkling some Spanish throughout his remarks.
The son of Dominican immigrants who once worked as a garbage collector, Perez has led the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division since 2009. If confirmed by the Senate, he would take over the Labor Department as Obama pushes several worker-oriented initiatives, including an overhaul of immigration laws and an increase in the minimum wage.
But he could face spirited opposition from some Republicans lawmakers who say his tenure at Justice has been guided too much by political ideology. His nomination comes days after a report from the Justice Department's inspector general found the agency's voting rights section has been plagued by ideological divisions and unprofessional conduct over two presidential administrations.
"This is an unfortunate and needlessly divisive nomination," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., who called Perez's views on illegal immigration "far outside the mainstream."
Vitter said Monday he would block Perez's nomination until the Justice Department responded to the 2011 letter, in which Vitter complained about "spotty enforcement" of voting rights laws in Louisiana. Vitter claims the department made registration of welfare recipients a priority while ignoring a duty to remove ineligible voters from the rolls.
Before taking the job as assistant attorney general, the 51-year-old Perez was secretary of Maryland's Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, where he vigorously enforced safety and wage violations, pushed through tough new consumer protections against foreclosure, and helped implement the nation's first statewide living wage law.
"I think he will raise the profile of the Labor Department," said Laura Murphy, director of the American Civil Liberty Union's Washington legislative office. "I think he understands that the role of the federal government is to help ensure that the rules of the game are fair."
At Justice, Perez has reinvigorated a division tarnished by a political hiring scandal during President George W. Bush's administration and run for years by political appointees hostile to many of its long-term policies. He launched a record number of investigations into civil rights abuses and other misconduct at local police departments around the country. That includes a lawsuit last year accusing the office of law-and-order Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio of racially profiling Latinos during a crackdown on illegal immigrants.

Rough round 1 for Ocala's Ted Potter Jr. at the Masters
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 2:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 2:27 p.m.
In Ted Potter Jr.'s first official clash against Augusta National Golf Club, the course won.
Potter stumbled on the par-4 17th hole with a 7, leading to a lackluster finish of his first ever Masters round at 76 (+4) on Thursday.
Potter, a Silver Springs resident and Lake Weir High School graduate, had two bogeys and five birdies through the 14th hole, a par-5, which he eagled to give him brief hope of finishing the day around par.
Then his 7 on the 17th sent him tumbling down the leaderboard.
Potter, who qualified for his first Masters by winning the PGA Tour's Greenbrier Classic last July, now needs a strong round Friday to survive the cut and play through the weekend.

I don't know if the new files are bigger or smaller, but I'd swear that image quality of the two channels, that had the issue, has noticeably IMPROVED.
I didn't do a comprehensive test last night, only watching a bit of CBS programming delayed to test. I did not hear a single dropout... and that's good news!
I agree about the picture quality. I can't put my finger on exactly what changed, but it does seem a lot... sharper. Honestly I hadn't noticed anything wrong with the quality before, but now the quality of the picture on the locals seems much more in line with even the national HD offerings.

Possible find. I don't know what this 'scene' is all about but maybe you do, in the 2nd floor of the police station stairwell you can on occasion find a female police officer lying down on her back surrounded by 3-4 male police officers (there's sometimes just two cops leaning against the wall smoking). At first I thought they were beating up a tramp. Check it out and see what you think.
A random person I found, possibly being a psychopathic, pedophile murderer (even I thought this encounter was a bit seedy).
Eddie Low found at night in Alderney:
Some are finding Cherise (Dwayne's ex only available if you let her live) pretty hard to locate, she is outside a closed (not the open) Cluckin' Bell.
Still that egotist - with reason of course. I'm awesome.

That random person you found - did they show up as an icon on the map?
Was driving around that area and a small dark icon appeared. Got out of my car and when I got near to this scruffy looking dude it went to a cut scene. He starts jabbering on about how rich he is (although he looks a complete state) and then gave me $100. The music and auto-save kicked in as if I'd completed a mission.
Edit - Just found another post about this - green stick men on the map.

I want everyone to know something very important about myself and MySaline.com. I've been saddened and angered to see the behavior that has come out here in grown adults. Bickering, name-calling, lies and other childish and downright evil character has become
what many people think about when they hear the name "MySaline.com."
This website is something I've worked hard on for nearly five years. I've made it into something that people already know about before I can tell them. It's made me a local celebrity. People greet me all the time now and I have no idea who many of them are. This might sound cool and exciting, but as soon as someone speaks about what's happening on the site, it's all about...
I don't know if this is going to make sense to you, or if you'll even read this, given that you're either one of the people guilty of this behavior or you're one of the people avoiding the site because of that behavior... But here goes.
As alluded to above, MySaline is my baby. I've spent countless days and nights - and overnights - feeding it, teaching it to walk and talk and cleaning up after its messes. I got my baby to a point where I didn't have to watch her every second. She was able to feed and dress herself and be rather independent. I was the proud parent for some long time.
Now what's happened is comparable to a stranger coming in and pushing drugs on a child. The parent's efforts don't have the same effect on the child. The child pulls away and becomes engulfed in the new culture of poor decisions and regrettable consequences that come with her new habit. A terrible, sad and hurtful habit, both to herself, her parents, and to society in general.
You want to raise your child to be a healthy, positive contributor to society. You want her to be successful and beautiful in as many ways possible. When find that your child is on drugs, you feel that you've lost her. You feel you've failed her. You'll do whatever you can to bring her back. The damage is done and you can't undo it, but there is something a parent can do.
This is the hard part. You have to strip away the things that are harming her, but she's addicted to them. You have to separate the child from the drug and watch her scream and cry and shiver through detox. I will also compare this to having to make that painful incision in surgery in order to get the tumor out from under the skin. The tumor that's consuming your child's flesh.
I'm speaking in parallels because this is one of the more difficult things I've had to write. I need desperately for you to understand what's about to happen. Moreover, I need your help in deciding what should happen next. I've paused and breathed deep and walked away a couple times and come back to this writing since eight o'clock this morning. We don't always get to say exactly what we mean, but I'm putting my best into this.
You know that I have allowed anonymous members on MySaline.com because there are some things that must be said. Many times, the person who must say what must be said will become someone with something to lose after they have said it. This is the only reason I have allowed it. What's happened is that certain members have taken that freedom and run in a full-blown, no-holds-barred direction akin to dropping a piano on the sidewalk to kill a weed.
Last night, a longtime MySaline member that I call friend asked me a simple question: [paraphrased] "Has everyone on MySaline gone flat crazy?!" Next, another friend and member since forever expressed how awful it is on MySaline, particularly close to election time and she hasn't checked in for a while. Then, still another friend who's been a member from nearly the start said that he hasn't been on in a long time. He didn't say why, but I know. These remarks from good and trustworthy friends cut me. I felt at that moment like I wanted to delete every member who didn't put their name behind what they say. For a few minutes, this really was my decision. Luckily for you and for me, my very best friend called and interrupted my thought process.
So here's what's going to happen. I'm going through the site today - yes, on election day, of all days - and I'm deleting the troublemakers. You've seen me make several appeals over the months and years for members to read and take care to follow the site agreement. It's so very simple, and yet people don't do it. Some people even say they are following it - or after I've messaged them to talk about it they say they'll do better to follow it. They aren't. They just aren't. I say "they" because I'm assuming at this point that the troublemakers have stopped reading. So here goes.
I'm certain this move will provoke much fork-tongued backlash to show up in my inbox... From the people who never cared that this isn't just any website. It. Is. My. Baby. MySaline.com has got the heart of the close-knit community of Saline County in it. That's you and me. This site is no longer a hobby for me - I've quit my day job and benefits and regular paycheck to turn the crank on this ice cream maker until it no longer makes ice cream. Or until nobody is left that likes ice cream. The name "MySaline" is now synonymous with "Shelli Russell," my own name my parents gave me. I want my family to be proud of that name; proud to speak of what I do.
So if you're with me, I'll need your help. I'll need you to give me suggestions about what the site needs. I'll need folks who care to get together in person on a regular basis and discuss what's working, what isn't, and what's next for MySaline... your watering hole, your history book, your go-to for community questions and more. All these members aren't for nothing. Let's make MySaline.com fun, informational, easy, and hate-free.
Please email me at email@example.com if you're in for any of that last paragraph. I'll add you to the MySaline Army and after the election tonight and after the Freedom of Speech Rally June 1st, we'll rock the snot out of this bad boy.

Thursday News, June 21
"Cash Mob" To Occur Today at Noon
(Le Mars) -- Today at noon, we will learn which downtown retail business has been selected for the first Le Mars Chamber of Commerce "cash mob". Those businesses that are eligible include: Binneboese Shoes...Claussens...Fashionette...Hardware Hank...Hotopp Jewelry and Gifts...Joba's...Rust Western Shed...Sunshine Foods...and Glen's Copier. The premise of the "Cash Mob" is to encourage people to first gather at the Le Mars Chamber of Commerce where Mayor Dick Kirchoff will draw one business name. Then the gathering of people will go to that business and with each person purchasing at least $20 worth of items to show support for the Chamber, that business, and to help the local economy. Le Mars Mainstreet Coordinator Mary Reynolds says the idea came from the Main Street Iowa organization.
Listen here
Reynolds is hoping for at least fifty people to participate in the "cash mob". Additional "cash mobs" will take place later in the summer with the selection of a business outside the downtown district, as well as restaurants.

Disgruntled Employee Files Law Suit
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa state employee who criticized his boss at a public demonstration says in a lawsuit that he's been punished for exercising his First Amendment Rights.
Daniel Noonan filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday. He says he lost three days' pay for comments at an April 17 rally in Ames. Noonan works for Iowa Workforce Development.
A newspaper account of the rally included Noonan's criticism of Workforce Development Director Teresa Wahlert for not taking a pay cut "'like her predecessors did during tough times.' "
Noonan says he made the comments during an approved vacation and union day off.
A department spokeswoman wouldn't comment on the lawsuit but said Noonan was on paid union leave and not a vacation day when he made the remarks.
Army Corps of Engineers To Repair Missouri River Channel
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded $8.3 million in contracts to restore the navigation channel along a nearly 120-mile stretch of the Missouri River in Iowa and Nebraska affected by last summer's historic flooding.
The corps says the project is to repair a 300-foot-wide by 9-foot-deep channel between Sioux City, Iowa, and Rulo (ROO'-loh), Nebraska.
Dikes and other rock foundations are used to create the channel and prevent erosion along the bank. Many were damaged by the high floodwaters.
The repairs will take about 250,000 tons of rock and will involve cranes operating from barges. The project is in two sections - from Sioux City to Fort Calhoun, Nebraska and from Fort
Calhoun to Rulo.
Work is to begin within the week and be completed by September 2014.
Powerball Winners Want To Remain Anonymous
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Workers at a Quaker Oats plant sharing a record lottery jackpot in Iowa are demanding anonymity following a day of public celebration.
The 20 workers say they'll go to court to get an injunction ensuring their last names aren't released. It's believed to be the first time an Iowa lottery winner has chosen to take legal action
to keep a name confidential.
The announcement follows a day of celebration for the group that calls itself the Shipping 20.
They boarded a chartered bus Wednesday to Iowa headquarters in Des Moines. They sported bright red T-shirts. Then they were showered by confetti as they smiled for television cameras at a
news conference.
The $241 million Powerball jackpot amounts to a lump-sum payment of about $5.6 million per winner after taxes.
Pick Up Basketball Game Ends in Stabbing
(Fostoria) -- A pick up basketball game at Fostoria, a small town near Spencer, resulted in a stabbing and assault. The Clay County sheriff's office was notified of the stabbing at about midnight Sunday evening. Apparently, a physical altercation broke out between Carl Gordon, age 18 of Fostoria and Justin Champine, age 42 of Fostoria, and Justin Burtis, age 26 of Estherville. Champine and Burtis, were playing a game of basketball along with two juvenile males. It is reported that Gordon and Jacob Mersch, age 26, were watching. Mersch left the scene to report the assault. Upon further investigation, it was found that Mersch left his residence with a filet knife and went to the basketball court and saw Champine and Burtis go to Champine's residence. A short time later, Gordon went to his residence, got a steak knife, and then went to Champine's residence. Champine saw Gordon outside of his window with a knife and went outside, tackled Gordon, and was cut by the knife. Burtis assisted Champine in taking the knife away from Gordon and Gordon fled on foot. Gordon was later found and arrested. He has been charged with Disorderly conduct and public intoxication, both simple misdemeanors, and going armed with intent, which is a class D felony. Mersch was charged with public intoxication and going armed with intent, a class D felony. Burtis was charged with disorderly conduct. On Monday, the Clay County Sheriff's deputies placed Champine under arrest and charged him with disorderly conduct.
Accident Being Investigated

Kimble admitted he was tired and did not notice the truck until he started his turn. Kimble suffered minor injuries and was transported to the Floyd Valley Hospital. The Le Mars Fire Department and the Le Mars Ambulance assisted at the scene of the accident.

Once Bledsoe was not included, the so termed "Mega Deal" wasn't. Jordan, Bledoe, one or two first rounders for Doc, Garnett, and wink wink -Pierce wuld have been a mega deal. The oft discussed potential trade would have given more ligitimacy to the Clippers. Doc, whatever one thinks of his in game coaching -is star quality. Garnett brings Doc's defensive knowledge and his edge.
Garnett straight across if Doc was going to LA, was okay. The refusal to include a second first rounder by the Clippers, coupled with not taking on a contract, either reveals a lack of interest in trading, or a willingness to try to run their same squad out there and plan to do better, or shows that Mr. Sterling counts his pennies quite closely for an owner of a major franchise.
I recognize the need to rebuild, actually remember Danny telling the story (once traded to Sacramento) of his conversation with Red Auerback about the need to trade Bird/Parish/McHale, and he ended up being traded. I would rather go into the new season with the old guys, reunited with hopefully a healthy Rondo, and do the best the team can, then to just concede on every refusal put forth by the L.A. Clippers. personally, I would be quite disappointed if a Clipper Fan on not getting Doc, Garnett, and possibly Pierce.

I have installed Zimbra with no problems with CentOS 4.2. I had a few issues but I found the answers in these forums.
My probem is with my ISP because it uses SSL for everything. My ISP is using hotmail to provide email service for its customers.
It explains how make it work with fetchmail which I have already installed. The problem lies with c_rehash . script as it's not insatlled in CentOS 4.2 and I have no idea how to fix.
I would also like Zimbra to work with my gmail account if this is possible I have read some users have gotten it to work.

Looming Seafarer Shortage Will Challenge Carrier Profitability
August 11, 2014 - SCMR Editorial
The current shortage of officer corps seafarers is forecast to worsen and risks impacting ocean cargo carrier profitability, according to Drewry's recently published Manning 2014 Annual Report.
Owners and managers need seafarers – and they want experience, expertise and quality. However, they do not have the resources to fund substantial rises in remuneration. In recent years owners and managers have been heavily cost focused as weak freight rate earnings have yielded poor returns.
Manning has become the natural target for cost cutting, being the single largest element in ship operating costs, with officer recruitment being directed towards the lowest cost source.
Drewry estimates the current officer supply to be 610,000, representing a shortfall of 19,000 personnel. This shortfall is forecast to rise to 21,700 by 2018 given that there will be a requirement for an additional 38,500 officers by this time.
"While ratings (crew) remuneration packages tend to follow International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) standard terms, officer earnings are more market driven," says Drewry's managing director Nigel Gardiner. "Manning costs look set to come under renewed upward pressure, putting a further squeeze on profitability unless owners are able to push freight rates higher."
However, there is less supply pressure with ratings and this will have a moderating influence on wage negotiations currently underway between the ITF and International Bargaining Forum, which represents employers. The other factor in owners' favor is that most seafarers are paid in U.S. dollars. When converted to domestic currency, seafarer earnings tend to compare well with other occupations.
"But the shortage of officers remains, especially among senior engineering ranks and for specialist ships such as LNG carriers," warns Gardiner. "There is also a general drift towards shorter working tours and increased benefits which is putting further pressure on supply."

Game 2 – A Royal Event
Yes, tonight is a big one, with a sold out crowd and an intrastate showdown. But tonight is more than that. Tonight, we are honoring one of the best men in baseball. The Royals are inducting their 23rd member to the Hall of Fame, Art Stewart. Each time one of these events comes around, it's always a special moment and tonight promises to follow that mold.
For more on the special night, let's go around the horn…
Art Stewart is the Royals' longest tenured associate. He's been with the club for 39 years. Over 50 years of his life has been spent in baseball. Stewart currently holds the position of Senior Advisor to the General Manager, a post he's held since 1997. Before that, Stewart served as Director of Scouting from 1984-96. He's also helped in the organization of the baseball academy in the Dominican Republic and served as a scout in the Midwest for a number of years.
Stewart may not be the most visible person in the Royals organization to fans, but his work most certainly is visible. Over 70 players Stewart drafted or scouted reached the Majors, including Bo Jackson, Kevin Appier, Brian McRae, Mike Sweeney, Johnny Damon, Joe Randa and Carlos Beltran.
During Spring Training, the Royals dedicated three fields, naming them for the retired numbers in the organization, Dick Howser, George Brett and Frank White. At the same time, the Club dedicated the observation tower, naming it Stewart Tower.
If you're curious who Stewart is, he can be seen at most Royals home games, sitting a few rows behind home plate holding a radar gun and jotting notes.
During a pre-game interview with the media earlier this week, manager Trey Hillman talked about 'slug.' Very simply, 'slug' is a lineups ability to hit the ball and hit it hard. The Royals are showing quite a bit of slug lately, with the most recent example being Alex Gordon's 416-foot shot in the fifth last night. Gordon has hit five homers in his last 16 games.
Gordon's recent surge can be attributed some to the protection Jose Guillen provides hitting right behind him in the lineup. Hitting in the three-hole, Gordon has seen better pitches to hit and taken advantage of it. Last season he ended with 15 homers. Last night he joined Guillen as the only double-digit Royals so far this season. But three more players are chomping at the bit to join them, with David DeJesus, Mark Teahen and Miguel Olivo all sitting at eight homers.
As a team, the Royals have gone 11-1 over their last 12, homering in all but three games, including going homerless in their lone loss…Of note: Hot hitting Billy Butler has been recalled from Omaha and Alberto Callaspo moved to the Disabled List. Butler was hitting .337 with six doubles, a triple, five homers and 13 RBI while with Omaha.
A few reminders of what to watch out for…
On Around the Horn: Tomorrow a complete recap of tonight's festivities and a Touch 'em All interview with John Martin (no regular around the horn).
Monday: A recap of the "Eye"-70 Series, presented by Silverstein Eye Centers.
Later this week: A renovations update and more daily content.
On royals.com: The Royals Relay chat series will have another installment on Tuesday. Royals' Senior Director of Scouting Deric Ladnier will be online at 3 p.m. CT to take question from fans.
On the field: The Royals finish up with the Cards tomorrow at 1:10 (tickets still available) and head out to Baltimore on Monday for a four game set. You can catch all four games on FSN-KC at 6:05 p.m. CT.
Tonight's Lineup:
LF David DeJesus (l .317-8-41)
SS Mike Aviles (R .313-3-14)
3B Alex Gordon (L .266-10-39)
DH Jose Guillen (R .285-13-60)

Law Firm Program
What is the Law Firm Program?
The Law Firm Program is a series of course offerings that are structured to mimic the work assignments, feedback, and professional skills development that first-year lawyers would experience at law firms, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and corporate legal departments.
The teaching methodology is experiential – that is to say, students learn by doing. There are no textbooks. Instead, the textbook is the real world case or transaction along with the briefs and contracts which serve as its foundation. Students will become accustomed to reading and analyzing statutes, contract provisions, cases, and articles published by and for practicing lawyers.
There are no exams. Instead, students will work on assignments that a new lawyer would expect to be given on their new job. These would include drafting a letter to a client, preparing a brief or motion in a court proceeding, drafting and negotiating the terms of an acquisition or employment agreement, making oral presentations, and interviewing a client about to be deposed in a litigation matter.
In the Anatomy of a Business Transactions course, for example, students learn about the process for acquiring a business, how to recognize and handle the many governance issues that arise in a typical transaction, and become familiar with the key provisions in an acquisition agreement. They also prepare (and possibly get to negotiate) some of the key documents and agreements used in an acquisition.
Students will also learn some of the day-to-day practicalities of the practice of law. For example, students will learn how to balance the need, on the one hand, to be thorough in their research with the reality, on the other hand, that many clients may not be willing to pay for research that involves an examination of every pebble of an issue on the beach. They will also explore common ethical and conflicts issues and how they should be resolved consistent with the rules of professional responsibility.
A key feature of the Law Firm Program courses is the regular one-on-one feedback students will receive on how well they have performed their assignments. In order to maximize these feedback opportunities, enrollment in most Law Firm Program courses is capped at fifteen to twenty students.
This unique set of courses has one other notable feature – the courses are all taught by lawyers with extensive real world practice experience. This means that students get to learn not just the law, but how the case or transaction, for example, evolved from start to finish, and how the various twists and turns came about – all from the vantage point of the lawyers who themselves were often involved in the case or commercial transaction.
How Are Law Firm Program Courses Different From My Other Courses?
Most of your other courses are designed to impart a substantive knowledge about a particular area of the law, like contracts, civil procedure, or criminal law. In contrast, the primary focus of the Law Firm Program courses is on the development of the practice skills you will need in the actual practice of law.
These include the art of negotiation, the ability to draft contract provisions, learning how to become an effective advocate through persuasive brief writing and oral advocacy, client development and communications skills, and the business of running a law firm practice as a small business.
These skills, however, are not taught in a vacuum. Rather, each Law Firm Program course is anchored to a substantive area of the law. This means that students can build upon the knowledge they learned previously from taking doctrinal courses in, for example, sales law or environmental law. Or, students can learn a new substantive area of the law, like securities regulation or family law, by taking a Law Firm Program course with those substantive areas of the law as the course focal point.
Unlike many of your other courses, the Law Firm Program courses emphasize learning by doing. This means that you are likely to have weekly written assignments, like drafting a letter to a client, or researching a new development in the law as reported in the financial press, as well as in-class individual and collaborative exercises.
The workload for Law Firm Program courses is designed to be comparable to that of your other courses. Many students, however, find the workload more demanding, especially in the early part of the course when they grabble with a different level and pattern of work assignments than what they might previously have become accustomed.
How Many Courses Are There?
When it was launched in 2007, the Law Firm Program started out with a single course – the Corporate Transactions course that was taught by Professors Carol Clark and Lloyd Semple. Since then, the number of course offerings has expanded to the twenty some courses that were offered in Term I of 2011 and Term II of 2012.
To assist students in selecting their LFP courses, the courses have been grouped into course clusters based on major substantive areas of the law or the type of law practice. These clusters include concentrations in Corporate Law, Environmental Law, Intellectual Property, International Law, Litigation, and Small Firm Practice.
Who Can Take Law Firm Program Courses?
All students are required to take three credit hours of Law Firm Program courses in order to graduate. There are no limits on how many courses you may take, subject to course availability. Indeed, the more of these courses you take, the better prepared you will be for the challenges that await you in the early years of your practice of law.
Because of the graduation requirement, seniors have enrollment priority in all Law Firm Program courses. Second year students are eligible to take Law Firm Program courses on a space available basis. Many Law Firm Program courses have prerequisites, so you should be sure to enroll in the prerequisite courses in the semester before you plan on taking your desired Law Firm Program course. For example, students who want to take the Anatomy of a Business Transaction LFP in the fall of their senior year should be sure to take Business Organizations during the preceding year.
In addition to these prerequisites, many of the Law Firm Program courses are structured as a "base" course in Term I and an "advanced" course in Term II. While students are not required to take both the base and advanced course offerings, you will get the most out of your learning experience if you plan on taking both courses. In all cases, taking the base course is a prerequisite for taking the advanced course. Currently, we offer basic and advanced courses in the areas of: corporate and business transactions, real estate, and pre-trial litigation.
Where Can I Learn More?
You can contact Professor Tom Saybolt who is the Director of the Law Firm Program.
In addition, you should take advantage of the Student Advising sessions that are held prior to the Term enrollment period. Professors will be available during those sessions that are familiar with the Law Firm Program course offerings for the upcoming academic year and will have available an updated list of LFP course descriptions for both Terms.
