I Love Super Million Hair!
It's the best! I tried other similar products but SMH is the best. Better than Toppic. Better than Ulta's brand. Works in seconds.

I've been thining for a while, male pattern bald spot growing and the rest of my hair getting thinner and thinner so away from the bald spot you could clearly see through to the scalp. A comment on how thin my hair was from a colleague at work got me looking into solutions.
Having never used a product before and being a huge sceptic i looked at the videos and read all the reviews which were very mixed so i decided to dip my toe in the water by buying a kit and risking it being rubbish.
I have mid-light brown hair and saw the reviews about problems with colour matching too. I bought the light brown guessing that if it didnt work at least it would look stupidly dark.
It arrived today and I just tried it for the first time. I have to admit I'm stunned by the results. It looks fantastic. colour blend with m y own hair is great, the bald patch is gone, the scalp showing through my thinning hair has gone... I'm amazed. Even really close up in the mirror I can't tell that I'm using a product... it just looks like I have normal thicker hair.
Seriously pleased with the result!

This Product Worked Awesome For Me!
I began losing my hair in the last 6 months due to medications i was prescribed by my doctor. I was losing hair in my crown area by the handfulls, it was so embarressing and i began not wanting to go out into public because my hair looked so horrible, and my job required me to do so. I went to my hairdresser for a hair trim and mentioned that i didnt know what to do because my crown area of my hair was balding. She recommended i try SMH, so i ordered the trial set just to give it a try. I was amazed with the product, loved the way it made my hair look like it was full and healthy. I realize the product wont help you "grow" back your hair" but for now i am pleased with the way my hair looks. As long as i have SMH I am no longer embarressed to go out in public.

Great Coverage, But Use Carefully
Super Million hair fibers provide great coverage and also thicken my hair. They stay in until the next time I shampoo, but they have to be used carefully. You need to hold the container close to your scalp, or the fibers will fly around, and you can breathe them in. In addition, the color is perfect, and much more natural looking than other products.

Leprosy Scalp. Awesome.
I was so excited to get this after reading the reviews, you have absolutely no idea. I have thinning hair due to hormonal shifts from just having had a baby, and breastfeeding all of the time. I wanted something to disguise how thin it is getting, just until it starts to grow back on its own once my son begins the weaning process. I love that it arrived quickly, and I thank Folica for that. But I'm disappointed in the product. My scalp now has blotches of black on it in some spots, and is still white in others. It looks like my scalp has leprosy or something. I followed up with the spray as instructed, and it only made the darkness of the spots on my scalp more prominent. I keep adding more to try to cover up the white spots of scalp that don't seem to have enough powder or something, and... I don't know... it just looks ridiculous. My fingertips are turning black, and my chest and bathroom vanity are covered in what looks like little specks of black lint from a dryer or something. It's just everywhere. Am I doing something wrong? I asked my husband if it made me look any better, and he politely said maybe I just need some practice. Who knows. Maybe he's right. But right now I feel like I look like an idiot with leprosy scalp, who just got screwed out of fifty dollars. :/

This Product Works!!!
i have thinning/balding in the crown area and leading to the top of my head. I've used many products to conceal my hair loss, including the Jerome Russell Spray and Derm Match. Although those products have worked for me, they are not as effective, quick, easy to use, or as clean as Super Million Hair. It goes on easily, effectively covers my hair loss, and looks very natural from all angles. It does not smell bad or rub off on everything like the various sprays do. It doesn't look strange in bright lights or sunlight, like the Derm Match sometimes does. It doesn't spread everwhere except where you want it to go. And it doesn't stain the room, your clothes, or your pillowcase. Plus it stays on pretty well, even when your hair gets wets, until you are ready to wash it out with shampoo. I am very confident stepping out in public whenever I use this product. I am comfortable with having people stare at my head (even up close) without wondering if they can see my hair loss, or if they are trying to figure out that I have something in my hair to conceal it. Now all I think about is how good I look! BTW- My wife loves that use this product too. She likes the way it looks on me & she appreciates how much cleaner this product is applied and that it doesn't leave a mess on everything. I hope this can help others as much as it helps me.

Saved My Life!! Works Great On Alopecia, Too.
I have been suffering from hair loss since I was 12 years old. A girl with bald spots or "spray paint" on bald spots or a wig going through high school... can you imagine? I was very unhappy. I discovered this product several years ago. It was recommended by my hair stylist. Since then I had three really bad hair loss episodes... but guess what? Nobody else had to know since all the bald spots were covered by this product. I only wish I had discovered this product 30 years ago when I was a teenager... I have been using all kinds of products to cover up Alopecia, but this is bar far the best!

Black People Can Wear This Too
Its good for african americans too... This product saved me a lot of embarrassment, its pretty good for my hair. I keep my hair very short and tight so if this stuff doesn't look real it will definetly show, but for the most part you cannot tell it's fake. I workout with it on and it mostly stays in place. But I would warn people not to get to carried away because if you stare at it long enough you can kind of see the color difference between my actual hair and the fibers..... If you sweat long enough it will start to run and when it gets wet it starts to loosen up so if you touch it while it's wet it will come right off..... that could be due to the fact I don"t use Super Million Hair spray&hold I use Loreal Strong Suit instead... Don"t try to use it in places on your head where you are skin bald because it will look like paint, just use it on thin hairs and for the most part you'll be alright. And if your hair is really short like mine be cautious wearing it in direct sunlight because the sun will expose the slight color difference between your real hair and this product.... overall its a great way to help keep your hair loss problems private just don't get too carried away and try to create a hairline you never had

Picture This: On-track Emotions Spill Over at MartinsvilleWritten by on February 1, 2000 Contributors: Nigel Kinrade Trying Times Between Tony Stewart and Kenny Irwin
This month's Picture This was captured on film by one of Circle Track's photographers, Nigel Kinrade, at the Martinsville race in October. The photos are the result of a day of bumping and grinding among the race cars, but this particular incident was due to bumping and grinding between the #20 and #28 cars of Tony Stewart and Kenny Irwin.
As the #20 car came to rest after its confrontation with the wall, its driver, Mr. Stewart, took a stroll on the track and appeared to be upset and wanted to speak with the driver of car #28, Mr. Irwin, as he passed by. Mr. Irwin was, of course, upset as well, but continued on his way. Mr. Stewart's day was shot.
As the saying goes, "That's racin'," but for us fans, it's better to use another saying--"That's entertainment."

Hello Everyone,
After digging and searching through the forum I have not been able to address an issue with mailto links.
Here is my scenario:
Windows 7 64 Pro
My Zimbra Desktop client has "Systems Default" checked so it is my default email client.
I have no other email clients installed except the Windows Live mail which has never so much as been opened.
I have built a simple html file on my desktop with a mailto link with no special attributes, just the email address.
Internet Explorer 10: Seems to work fine, brings up a new tab in Zimbra Desktop with the email address in the "To:" box
Firefox 20.0.2: Asks me for my default email client, has the Zimbra desktop link in the choices but it thinks I am telling it where to load the config file from ("Unable to load config file: mailto:email@example.com")
I have read all kinds of posts in the forums but have yet to see anything that addresses this specific issue..
Beyond this, we are also seeing other issues on another machine when clicking URLs that have more complex stuff like Subject and Body but I think just getting simple URLS to work first would be a better way to go without complicating things.
Thank you in advance.

Erica Littlewolf, a senior from Busby, Mont., was honored with the Black Hills State University Alumni Association Spirit of BH award at the annual student volunteer awards banquet.
Littlewolf was chosen to receive the esteemed Spirit of BH award for her activities both on and off campus. Littlewolf, who was chosen by her peers as homecoming queen this fall, was cited for her ability to successfully manage academics, volunteerism, extra-curricular activities and work. The BHSU senior with a double major in psychology and American Indian Studies maintains a 3.1 grade point average.
Littlewolf is involved in several campus organizations, serves as a member of the retention task force, serves as a university peer educator, and has volunteered through Habitat for Humanity the last two years to help rebuild houses during spring break. Her community involvements include volunteering with the Artemis House, the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life, and as a vacation Bible school teacher.
"I have developed a deep sense of respect and admiration for her achievements, her campus involvement, and above all, her leadership. I cannot think of another student who represents the spirit of Black Hills State University better than Erica Littlewolf," said one of the nominators for the award.

Hello and good evening from Karlsruhe,
i´m completely new to this forum and hope the administrators Forum is right for my problem.
I have an Zimbra OpenSoure Installation with Zimbra 7.2.0_GA_2669 (Generierung 20120410002303) on a virtual server.
Everything is fine and i am impressed by the product.
What bothers me since about a week is my mails from an external pop account (actually hosted by gmx) are beeing poped from zimbra and deleted on the gmx server but zimbra seems to delete them right away.
They are not in the inbox nor in the spam folder as not in the folder i defined in the external account dialog.
Until about a week, everything was fine and the mails were put in the defined folder.
Even after deleting the external account from zimbra the mails were popped from gmx and deleted just until i changed my gmx password...
Any hints what to do and especially where to look in the logfiles? I already tried the mailbox.log under /opt/zimbra/log/ but there are aabsolutely no entries about my gmx address...
Looking forward to get any helpful hint

Disaster and hope
News of the Year | Hundreds have come to Christ following cyclone in Myanmar
"Disaster and hope" Continued...
YANGON, Myanmar-The winds of Cyclone Nargis intensified at about 8 p.m. on May 2, and most who lived on the expansive, low-lying Irrawaddy Delta realized they needed to find higher ground.
Zhing and some of his neighbors thought their only hope was to scale one of the many coconut palms on his plot of land. By clinging to the feathery branches, they might be spared.
The gales whipped the trees in every direction for nearly eight hours, repeatedly splashing and immersing those who climbed the trees in the rising Pyapon River. Around midnight Zhing's house collapsed. The night, it seemed, would never end. "If you let go," he said, "you would die."
Thousands in the densely populated region perished in the winds and floods created by Nargis, a severe cyclone that became the worst natural disaster in the history of Burma, known now as Myanmar. Many more died in the days following the storm because water and food were destroyed or contaminated, and relief did not arrive.
The government, led by military dictator Than Shwe, prevented other countries, including the United States, and nongovernmental relief groups from delivering aid to survivors. This led to thousands of deaths that could have been prevented. Estimates of the dead range from the tens of thousands to as many as 146,000-all because of the difficulty in reaching and accounting for those lost in the Irrawaddy's vast network of waters.
Corpses were never buried because people did not want to touch them. "They became fish food," Zhing said.
Potable water turned salty, which wrecked soil in the area. "Nobody came for seven to 10 days," said a local worker. He and family members survived on coconut liquid and sealed tins of cookies they found floating in the water.
By the end of May Shwe allowed aid agencies in. The UN worked with the Myanmar government and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations-officially delivering 41,000 tons of food to more than 880,000 people. But that represents only a fraction of the Irrawaddy Division's estimated 6.6 million people. Government corruption and officials hoarding supplies are keeping more needy from receiving help. The government also is denying help to the Karen people because some have for decades sought independence, said local workers. All asked not to be identified by name because they fear government reprisals from one of the strictest regimes in the world.
The government established a lottery to determine whose homes are rebuilt first; so far the winners are those with ties to the government. Thousands are still in temporary shelters, which in many cases means little more than a roof. Some faith-based workers in the area have opened their homes and churches to provide housing. Most lived in simple structures in the first place-thatch huts that could be rebuilt in a day or so. But the cyclone destroyed raw materials and, without livestock or crops, few have the money to buy the bamboo and other materials.
But where private Christian aid is getting through, so also is the gospel message. Faith-based workers in the Irrawaddy said in interviews that they have seen hundreds come to Christ since the cyclone. One local church planter said 68 people are coming to his church about 25 miles west of Yangon. He attributes the sudden interest to the help they receive and trust that has developed: "When they felt the love of our Christian people . . . they were more eager to know about Jesus."
The local church planter said he makes excursions to the delta, bringing supplies to areas where local leaders can round up villagers. "Before we distribute our materials, we get to explain why we're there," he said. "Life is uncertain and it is very brief. . . . We have no control over it. . . . We believe there is only one hope, and that is in Jesus Christ."
Through the tragedy six months ago, the numbers of new Christians have swelled. One evangelical group said it has established 25 new churches during the last five years, but individual commitments to Christ were hard to come by until the last six months. A missionary who moved to the area in October 2007 said before Nargis he saw one new Christian believer, but since May 27 families regularly attend his services and 20 individuals have made professions of faith in Christ.
Zhing, who moved to the coastal region in March 2007, said before the storm he lived in a village where there was little interest in Christianity. Now, he says, 30 locals attend his church. "Seeds are planted," he said.
-the writer, who could not be identified because of his contact with church workers in Myanmar, travels regularly to southeast Asia
Caribbean toll
By The Editors
The 2008 Atlantic hurricane season marked the first time six consecutive storms made landfall on U.S. soil-the worst of which were Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
Memories of Hurricane Katrina spurred nearly 2 million people to flee the Louisiana coast before Gustav, a Category 2 hurricane, made landfall on Sept. 1. Although the resulting storm damage paled in comparison to Katrina, Gustav snapped trees, sheered off roofs, and decimated as much as half of Louisiana's $600 million annual sugar cane crop. Less than two weeks later, Hurricane Ike plowed into Galveston, Texas, also a Category 2 hurricane, and brought with it the state's second-highest storm surge on record. The storm's force wiped out neighborhoods, killed more than 30 people, and disrupted oil and gas production in the Gulf.
It was in the Caribbean, however, that this year's hurricane season took its greatest toll after a series of systems pummeled the islands in a matter of weeks. One of the hardest hit areas was Haiti, where torrential downpours from four storms-Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike-sparked extensive flooding, killed nearly 800 people, and destroyed 22,702 homes in the impoverished nation.
Texting ban
By The Editors
The U.S. Railroad Administration on Oct. 2 banned the use of cell phones and other electronic devices by rail workers in an emergency ruling after investigators said Amtrak train engineer Robert Sanchez sent a text message seconds before running a red light and slamming head-on into a freight train outside Los Angeles on Sept. 12, killing 25 people. Cell phone records for Sanchez, killed in the crash, showed he sent and received 57 text messages while on duty that day, including one sent 22 seconds before the collision. Six train accidents between 2000 and 2006-four of them deadly-involved the use of cell phones.
Food crisis
By The Editors
In February U.S. wheat futures reached their highest price on record, and by May the rest of the world was feeling it. As bread prices from New York to New Delhi doubled almost overnight, world food officials warned that for the world's poorest it was not a matter of affordability but of survival: A December UN report estimated that 14 percent of the world's population-including an increase of 40 million people-did not get enough to eat this year. Drought and speculative price hikes combined with the drain of aid efforts focused on Myanmar's cyclone and a major earthquake in China-not to mention political factors-to make India, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Ethiopia the world's most undernourished countries.
Deadly season
By The Editors
One of the deadliest tornado seasons on record began in February when a cluster of tornadoes tore through parts of Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee, killing 59 people and injuring dozens. Among the storms' initial casualties was Union University in Jackson, Tenn., where rescue workers spent hours digging through the twisted rubble of the Southern Baptist school's dorms to reach 13 trapped students.
A month later, storms swept across parts of Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Arkansas, killing 17 people, flooding major roadways, and damaging hundreds of homes. Another round of Midwest storms in June left 13 people dead and sparked extensive flooding in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin. The hardest hit areas included central Iowa and Cedar Rapids, where flooding continued for as long as two weeks, forcing thousands of people to evacuate and destroying an estimated 25 percent of the state's corn crop.
In the West, a June thunderstorm unleashed a series of lightning strikes that ignited some 2,000 wildfires across drought-ridden northern California. By summer's end, the fires had burned over a million acres-more than twice the devastation of the October 2007 fires. Then in November, a series of fires chewed through southern California, scorching another 40,000 acres including parts of Westmont College, a 1,300-student Christian liberal arts school in Santa Barbara.

I apologize if this has been asked and answered. The search tool above seems to kick me out of the forums.
We have two external ldap's. for one, we cannot 'sync' it (its not ours), we can only do lookups. We've been struggling for a couple weeks with it.
Is there a way to configure via command line, a ldap for lookups only?

$caa in hotlanta
We're off to the Specialty Coffee Association of America (scaa) conference in scintillating "Hotlanta" today. In a way, I wonder why I go. I count among the disaffected, I suppose. At one time "Specialty Coffee" really meant something, defining itself in opposition to commercial/industrial grade coffee. Now there are so many things crammed under the roof of Specialty, it's hard not to feel squeezed out. I don't know what we are ... Fourth Wave, Micro-Lot Specialists, DIY ... it always seems silly to think of such terms and even sillier to apply them. Maybe it's my history. Since I am from an artsy background, it reminds me of photography, which was (supposedly) my field of focus. Photography as a technical skill gives you a lot to talk about with other photo geeks, bracketing half-stops, and backlight compensation. But when it comes to the ideas, what you really do, well, you might be better off talking to your pet dog than most photo people; just because you share a method doesn't mean you have shared goals. It's like that with the coffee trade. You could sit next to a fellow coffee buyer on a plane trip to an origin country, and have nothing substantial to talk about but the weather. Of course, the opposite can be true to, which is why I still go to the $caa, armed with a dim hope. In reference to my crafty use of the $, I have to consider this: what furthers our ability to find better coffees to offer our customers, $3000 spent going to the scaa (Josh comes too), or $2500 spent on a great origin trip, cupping, visiting farms, understanding local issues, forming new relationships. For sweet maria's it's the later, of course. Two footnotes to this grumpy post: a. I volunteer to help roaster trainings and cupper trainings at scaa and I find that worthwhile for me and others, and b. the branch of the scaa called the Roasters Guild, especially the intensive RG retreat each year, is very, very worthwhile. Incidentally, I will try to send a couple pictures to the web log from there 1. an image of the stupidest coffee product I find (there will be a lot of competition in this category) and 2. something new that is actually sensible and of good quality. That might be tough.

|Holyoke teens thankful after two close calls
|Written by Darci Tomky
|Tuesday, 29 November 2011 16:23
Thanksgiving is a day to fill up on pumpkin pie, watch football and prepare for the Black Friday sales, right? Yes, that's what many across the country did last Thursday, but this year the holidays look much different for two teenage girls in Holyoke.
The real meaning of Thanksgiving rang true for two families after a couple close calls a few weeks ago. They all have a little more to be thankful for this year.
Thursday, Nov. 10, HHS junior Cierra Prelle was simply heading to the grocery store around 5 p.m. to grab a soda before driving to the day care to pick up her little brothers.Prelle was excited to be driving the Ford F250 pickup her family had just gotten.
Facing east at the stoplight in Holyoke, Prelle was ready to make a left turn at the same time a semitruck, facing west, was also making a left turn.
Cierra Prelle's Ford F250 pickup was pretty bent up, with the entire
"I can't believe it happened," she said, thinking back to the collision that Thursday night. "I'm not going to forget it."
The young 16-year-old was pretty shaken up after her first accident as a driver. Since she was wearing her seat belt, she only went to the hospital with a concussion and whiplash. "If I would have been in my car, it would have been pretty bad," said Prelle.
She said the other pickup didn't look as bad as hers did and the driver was not injured.
Prelle said the moments immediately following her accident were kind of like an "out-of-body experience," noting she kept thinking back to the Every 15 Minutes drunk driving simulation she saw at HHS a year ago.
"Everyone thinks it won't happen to them," said Prelle, admitting that even though simulations like Every 15 Minutes are powerful, she didn't see anything like that happening to her since at the time she didn't even have her license yet.
Prelle hopes drivers will realize things like texting while driving and drinking and driving can make accidents like this much, much worse. "Mine was a simple accident," she said, noting she wasn't texting or drunk. "I wasn't distracted, so you don't need distractions."
"I hope it taught my friends a lesson," added Prelle. "I hope it will show them how easy it can happen."
HHS junior Cierra Prelle, at right,
The HHS junior said her friends and family showed a lot of concern, and she certainly doesn't mind people at school asking a lot of questions. "I don't want them to assume anything," said Prelle.
She said she hopes everyone will be safe. Prelle has made wearing her seat belt a habit and hopes other people will too.
Prelle felt bad because Nov. 10 happened to be her little sister's birthday, but the family had much to be thankful for considering the outcome of the collision.
It was a big eye-opener for Prelle's mom Janette Helgoth, who was quick to realize material possessions are not as important as people think they are.
"It definitely makes me thankful and see what's important in life," said Prelle.
"Oh, I see Holyoke. I'll be fine." That's what 18-year-old Whitni Redman told herself when she was driving home from her boyfriend's house close to midnight the night of Friday, Nov. 11.
A couple miles east of Paoli on Highway 6, the HHS senior dozed off at the wheel, awaking to find her car running off the left side of the road. She swerved to miss a road marker, and the car traveled across both lanes, rotating, until it rolled two and one-half times to land on its top in the right side ditch.
It is a miracle 18-year-old Whitni Redman walked away from her rollover accident just east of Paoli the night of Nov. 11. Her 2008 Pontiac is a total loss after rolling two and one-half times and catching on fire. With no serious injuries, Redman is thankful she had her seat belt on, the one thing that probably saved her life.
"The scary part is people just don't walk away from that," said Whitni's mom Misti Redman.
Miraculously, Whitni did walk away from it. She doesn't remember a lot of the accident, but somehow she managed to get out of the upside-down car that had immediately caught fire after the rollover.
Just minutes after the accident, a NAPA truck pulled over to assist Whitni, followed by HHS students Jesus Hermosillo and Maddie King.
Misti, who was with friends that Friday night, immediately panicked when she heard Holyoke's emergency whistle blow at midnight and Whitni was not home yet. She called Whitni's cell phone, and luckily, Whitni had grabbed it from the car and was able to answer, although she was not coherent enough to really answer her mom's terrified questions.
After spending that night and the next day in the hospital, Whitni only suffered a concussion and some bruising on her lungs. "Dr. Rick said Whitni would be the poster child for seat belts," said Misti.
Seat belts actually do something, said Whitni and Misti, noting it's what saved her life.
Out of the 35,000 people that die in rollovers in America each year, half could be saved if they had just worn their seat belts, said Whitni.
Sleeping drivers are more dangerous than drunk drivers, said Misti. Stopping the car and doing jumping jacks is a good way to wake up, advised Whitni.
After her scary car accident a few weeks ago, HHS senior Whitni
"It was an eye-opener," said Whitni, noting all of the things she takes for granted.
"The what-ifs are really hard," said Misti. "We're just thankful. Enjoy each day because you never know what can happen."

National Weather Service meteorologists are warning Mississippi residents to be wary of severe weather in November.
Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana are the only states that historically have a fall tornado and severe weather season each year, Stephen Wilkinson, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Jackson, tells The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.
For most states, tornado season is traditionally between March and May, with most tornadic activity in April. Between 1950 and 2011, Mississippi reported 341 tornadoes in April, 221 in March and 200 in May. However, November has the second-highest number of tornadoes for the same period, with 227 reported.

Testimony :: Hon. Alcee L. Hastings
Chairman - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Welcome to this afternoon's hearing on the timely and important issue of NATO enlargement and the Bucharest summit.
In approximately one month from now, leaders of the 26 countries belonging to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization - NATO - will be meeting in Bucharest, Romania, to look for ways to ensure security in the 21st century.
NATO is an alliance born in the Cold War. NATO, however, has found a role meeting the challenges of the post-Cold War world. We have seen that with the peacekeeping operations in the Balkans. We see it today in Afghanistan.
The Bucharest Summit will address the many ongoing and emerging threats to the security of its members. Obviously, the challenges that the International Security Assistance Force – ISAF - faces in Afghanistan will be a major focus of the summit participants. I understand that maritime situational awareness and cyber defense will also be high on the agenda, and there will be discussion of the missile defense project, the evolving situation in Kosovo and other current topics of importance.
While NATO adapts to change, it must change itself, and one way it has done so is to extend its cooperation and membership to like-minded countries in Europe. This process has been in play from the beginning, but it took on a whole new dimension since the end of the Cold War. The Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland were invited to join at the Madrid Summit in 1997. Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia were invited at the Prague summit five years later, in 2002.
In Bucharest, three new countries may be invited to join the alliance: Albania, Croatia and Macedonia. The summit may also decide to extend Membership Action Plans or MAPs to Ukraine and Georgia.
NATO enlargement is something that has a lot of support in principle. Like the other issues addressed in Bucharest, however, enlargement is not without its controversy and disagreements when it gets down to the specifics, and all of the issues on the agenda can get mixed together in the effort to achieve a consensus view. Despite the best efforts of diplomats, little is certain.
Our hearing today, fortunately, is much simpler. From a Helsinki Commission perspective, a key ingredient to common security is shared values regarding democracy and human rights. Our hearing today will focus on just that, the degree to which five potential members of the NATO alliance – three near-term and two long-term -- have transformed their policies and institutions in order to join what is viewed as an alliance of democracies. That is, in our view, an important consideration, just as much so as their prospective contribution of military and other resources to a common defense is.
No matter what our affinities for any of these countries, we must be sure they are ready to take the next step and seek improvements if they are not. That is in our own national interest, but it is also to the benefit of the citizens of these countries as well.
I'm very pleased to have with us today this panel of distinguished and expert witnesses to discuss this issue.
Dr. Michael Haltzel is a Senior Fellow, Center for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. Dr. Haltzel was a senior Senate staffer deeply involved in two previous rounds of NATO enlargement.
Mr. Janusz Bugajski is Director of the New European Democracies Project and Senior Fellow, Europe Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). He has testified before the Commission on several prior occasions.
Amb. Steven Pifer is a senior advisor with the CSIS Russia and Eurasia Program. His 25-year Foreign Service career included assignments as Ambassador to Ukraine and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia.

Why Fresh Pasta?
Dried pasta is now a low cost commodity available by the sack in supermarkets. Almost all dried pasta is made using an industrial process that is far removed from the ancient artisan method. The serious downside of efficient machines in factories is that the industrial-speed drying of pasta at high temperatures reduces the nutritional value and can compromise taste.

One of the best lunches I've ever had here in Savannah. Authentic, homemade Italian food. All natural, no preservatives. Absolutely delicious! And the owner is a very lovely woman as well! . . . Can't wait to go back!Jami Long
We absolutely love all your products especially the fresh pastas and roasted pepper salsa! I have always love Italian food, but when we tried your products I found a new love for it. We recently moved due to my husband's military career and our first thought was we won't be able to get Frali anymore! Then we discovered you ship! . . . Thank you for making such a great product!Lindsay A. Rivera
Came across FraLi when we had breakfast next door on our recent trip to Savannah. Lisa was so nice and informative about their products. . . My grandmother was from Italy and this reminds me of the pasta she used to make.
The best part of their pasta is you can pronounce all of the ingredients and you can't beat the taste and texture. . .

Video: Police Union Says Tactical Team Might Have Helped
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The Washington Navy Yard re-opened for business Thursday morning. Workers were allowed back on the base around 6 a.m., but the building 197, the scene of Monday's shooting rampage, remains closed.
The memories of Monday's tragedy are still fresh, the grieving has just begun but the work must continue.
"We'll see what the day brings and I'm not exactly sure what it's going to entail. Hopefully some normalcy but also recognition that we lost some people," said one worker.
While dodging allegations regarding the police response to Monday's tragic shooting, returning employees coming back since that shooting say Thursday is about remembering the loss and healing each other.
A worker on Thursday told us, "It's a tragic event and brings up a lot of good questions and some invalid questions. The hard questions have to be asked."
Another worker said, "I think the best thing is for us to just pick up the pieces and go on with our daily jives and be proud of what we're doing here."
Navy leaders agree. They're not commenting on the allegations but focusing only, they say, on healing the community. They know that for these employees it will take time.

I really like it. Now, if you fill it with some terrain features (mountains, hills, forests etc.), this could be a great map. Throw in some nice background for the curious people (like myself ) and you have an awesome map
Here is my first serious attempt at making a polished, finished map. I started out in FT with a generated world and a small amount of terrain editing, outputting the climate shading as well as the slope shading. Then I moved into PS to assemble everything. The font is based on Roman cursive handwriting and the compass is a digitized version of the compass from a 15th century navigational chart.
Its not great, but I didn't realize how rusty my Photoshop skills were, and I only spent two days on this. It also came out a little bit small, but I think that is because of a mistake I made in FT. I also need to add a lot more place names around the shore, to imitate the look of a portolano chart better, so I am going to keep fiddling with this off and on for a while.

I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
Thanks for the tips. I had imagined this map as more of an ocean centered map, reminiscent of 15th century navigational charts. I will try to make a version that emphasizes the features of the land more, so stay tuned.
On a more serious note - Hai-Etlik is totally right, there is nothing wrong with this map. Sorry if my first post came across as too critical. It's just that i'd like to know more about the inland portion of this world So i hope you'll still do a version where you emphasize the features of the land.
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
Here is version 2, with some inland detail. I didn't realize how difficult it was to come up with enough reasonable place names to line the coastline of a portolan-style map, so instead I detailed the land, courtesy of these excellent brushes. The western half of the map definatly still needs some work, but I would call v2 of the Archonate of Canvarr completed.
This map details a location which has been referenced in some of my Tabletop RPG games, but never really fleshed out. The gist of the story is that Naltan was the capital of an ancient empire toppled centuries ago by a mutinous cabal of military sorcerers from Karthan who proceeded to rule the region, using their monopoly on magic to stay in power. However, for centuries the Archons, military governers of the city-state of Canvarr, sought a way to neutralize the magic of their sorcerous overlords and eventually found that power in the science of alchemy. The breakthrough came when the alchemists of Canvarr developed gunpowder weaponry and launched a bloody revolution. Over the course of a generation, they broke the power of the surprised sorcerers and leveled the city of Karthan with the terrifying new tactic of aerial bombardment. Now Canvarr has strong armed the other nearby cities into the archonate and grown rich off of the sale of canons and guns to other kingdoms. Is that enough background for you all...
This is a fantastic first piece, its got a lot of character and compass/typography elements are great. I'm not a fan of the mountains and trees however, they are very harsh, and their a great number of duplicates which take away from the organic feel. You might try to reduce the Opacity of the brush you are using to about 75%, and mix up the brushes themselves so the mountains look varied and interesting. Black can work, but works against you in the top right hand corner becasue f the that very light burst. A dark brown is a good alternative. Just my 2 cents

I agree, great effort! Doing moutains and forests in symbol brushes are always tricky to get the hang of so just try out difference ideas and see how they play out.. the biggest thing (like Epic said) is that you want it to feel organic... something that could help you out is to create or use opaque symbols, i'm not sure if this is the case for the mt's or tree's, but I can see it in the flags.. if the pole and flag's had a colour inside (or even just white, or black.. or a bit more neutral for your map) they would be able to pop more... and also don't be afraid to squish your mts and forests together, the overlap makes them look painstakingly drawn by hand, and again a bit more organic...
(BTW! these are just suggestions.. i noticed i get a bit wordy, but it's simple cause i had a lot of trouble with this stuff, so i'd like to share what i've learned in hopes of helping you make your map even better!)
Also another suggestion is to change the labelling a bit, make it a bit easier to read... it seems you've fixed the rotated labels from the first copy, but I also find it hard to read when the text flows over other boundary lines, like shorelines... consider moving them out a bit more into a clear space... as long as they fall close enough to the point they should not be hard to identify which point goes with which text. As a tip you want to try to stick to a # pattern, where if the point fell inside the center box of the #, labels should be placed in any of the outer quadrants... and after that you want to try to make sure your labels fall in one of 2 directions (as in, if you rotate some labels 90deg to the left, make sure they are all rotated to the left), so that at worst the reader will only ever have to rotate the map 90deg in one direction.. I always forget this, and i find fantasy maps always end up being crowded due to their artistic fonts... and like everything else.. sometimes these rules have to be broken.. just keep legibility in mind over it all...
The only other thing I'd suggest is to colour the capital city a different shade of red, or at least make it a bit easier to make out around your map lines... but thats a simple enough fix.. a different shade.. or heck even add a bit of a black glow around the text should work...

No wonder the Patriots are not liked and people take shots at them all the time. They kind of bring it on themselves. I wish they would just go and enjoy, be a part of the NFL instead of distancing themselves like the bad guys. Glad Mayo went and I think Mankins too.

Founder and designer of the much-maligned Ed Hardy label, Christian Audigier, has put a few of his California properties on the market recently. The following is a tour of his hacienda in Topanga, which is not a made-up name for Corey's girlfriend on Boy Meets World and as a native Californian, this is blowing my mind. Anyway, the asking price is $7.65 million and comes with all the steer skulls and fur throes you could ever dream of having. Anyway, we're sure somewhere Jon Gosselin and Tara Reid are saving pennies for their dream home/sitcom premise, but until then, let's just take a look and appreciate all the bad taste on display. I'll be the pushy real estate agent, you be the sucker. Let's do this, baby.

PHOENIX (AP) - A.J. Pollock beat out a run-scoring infield single in the eighth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks sent Washington manager Davey Johnson into retirement with a loss.
The Diamondbacks scratched out a pair of runs off Ryan Mattheus (0-2) in the eighth to finish the season at 81-81.
David Hernandez (5-6) pitched a perfect eighth and Brad Ziegler closed out the ninth for his 13th save.
Washington failed in the final game of a career by Johnson that spanned six decades, but still finished 11 games above .500 at 86-76. The Nationals won the NL East last season.

Volleyball Sets New Season Tickets Record

More from Cyclones.tv
"I cannot thank Cyclone fans enough for their support of our volleyball team," head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said. "To see the growth in our fan base over the past several years has been one of the most special things I've experienced in my time here. We have a major home-court advantage now that didn't exist eight years ago. Recruits see Hilton Magic and they want to be a part of it. Our fans are a huge part of our success, and we are excited to continue our mission to compete for a Big 12 and NCAA Championship in front of the best fans in the country."
The previous record for Hilton Coliseum came last season when 1,074 Iowa State fans pledged their support for the season. In 2010 after the flood that affected Hilton Coliseum, Iowa State sold 1,200 season tickets that guaranteed fans admission to the 2,000 seat Ames High School gym where the Cyclones played the majority of their matches.
"The loyal support of Cyclone fans continues to amaze," Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said. "Coach Johnson-Lynch, her staff and players have built a nationally recognized volleyball program and the Iowa State fan base has responded to that success. Our match atmosphere in Hilton Coliseum is among the best in the nation and that's because of a great team supported by an enthusiastic fan base."
The growth in season tickets for volleyball has been staggering. The 2007 season saw 37 just fans take advantage of the opportunity to get season tickets. Even after reaching its first Regional Semifinal in 2007, the season ticket total only went up to 114 for the 2008 campaign.
The Iowa State Athletics Department has continued to strive and give fans ample reasons to buy season tickets for Cyclone volleyball. This year, Iowa State began assigned seating for season ticket holders. Instead of the reserved season ticket sections of past seasons, fans will now be able to have the same seat to enjoy the action from for the duration of the year.
Fans who wish to still purchase season tickets, or buy tickets for a single match, can do so by visiting cyclones.com, calling the Iowa State ticket office at 888-478-2925 or stopping by the Iowa State Ticket Office during business hours, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Southern Baptist Convention is making a push to plant more churches in New England, a region skeptical of the South and increasingly indifferent to religion.
Since 2002, Southern Baptists have spent roughly $5.5 million to plant churches around the region. Another $800,000 is committed this year.
They've started 133 new churches in that time, a nearly 70 percent increase that brings their regional total to 325.
Hartford Seminary professor Scott Thumma says no denomination is investing as much in New England church planting. He notes that church attendance, which is up 20 percent, is not growing as fast as the number of churches.
Thumma said there's little proof they're reaching area lifers, including the Roman Catholic population and increasing numbers of secularists.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Want to vote your favorite Washington Nationals player into the 2012 MLB All-Star game?
If you proceed to do so online, Major League Baseball will only let you submit 25 ballots per email address.
If you choose to vote at Nationals Park, some major perks could come your way.
Per the picture posted above, the Nationals are incentivizing votes for their players.
*10 ballots = A chance to win an autographed item
*100 ballots = Bobblehead doll
*500 ballots = Nationals Prize Pack
*1,000 ballots = An autographed item
*5,000 ballots = An on-field viewing of Batting Practice
*10,000 ballots = Holding the Finish Line for a Future GEICO Presidents Race.
So, say it takes you 30 seconds to fill out a ballot. That would mean 500 ballots is equal to about 4 hours; 1,000 is equal to 8 hours; 5,000 is equal to 40 hours and 10,000 is equal to 80 hours, or better known as three and a half days. Talk about some Natitude in action.
According to this MLB article, 20 million ballots were distributed evenly throughout the 30 different ball parks. That comes out to potential 666,667 ballots.
Campaigns for certain individual players are not out of the ordinary, like this one last year for Michael Morse. After some research though, I couldn't find anything on certain teams concocting incentives like the Nats.
Do you consider this ballot stuffing by the Nationals? Is this a big issue?
UPDATE: I was able to reach out to a Nationals spokeswoman, who stated that they are doing everything within the Major League Baseball rules.

Spearfish, S.D. – The annual spring football scrimmage and gridiron gathering was a success this past weekend with nearly 500 people attending the game and over 70 participating in the First Annual Gridiron Gathering.
The football game pitted the Yellow Jacket offense led by Ryan Fagerstrom against the Yellow Jacket defense led by Wacey Coleman, Richard Fairhead, Forest Sainsbury and Sterling Boylan. The team was fired up to be hitting again and showcasing the hard work put in during the offseason. Following the scrimmage was a BBQ with the proceeds benefiting the student-athlete scholarship fund.
"Overall I thought the spring game was a success," said head coach Jay Long. "Our defense showed how good they can be and our offense finished on a consistent note. I also felt that the First Annual Gridiron Gathering was well received. It was great meeting football alumni and talking to players that played under me. We can't wait to do it again next year."
Participants in the Gridiron Gathering received a tour of the campus, attended the football game and ended the evening with a banquet at The Lodge at Deadwood.
"We had about 70 football alumni and guests which is a great turn out for our First Annual Gridiron Gathering," said assistant athletic director and football alum (1994-1998) Jade Temple, "It was a great opportunity to reconnect past football players, there was a representative from every era from the late 1940's to the present team."
The Yellow Jackets will kick their season off on the road against Grand View University August 28, 2010 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Blower How-ToWritten by Douglas Glad on April 1, 2000 Bolting on a Supercharger
Bolting on a supercharger can be either an adventure of a lifetime or a long series of nightmares. We've seen both. Whichever card fortune deals you, the result is the same: big power and the ultimate speed part singing a tune only the experienced ear can recognize. This yarn is about the V-1 centrifugal supercharger from Vortech and how much fun it was to install one on our 305-powered 1991 Camaro.
The V-1 is the Vortech supercharger for domestic machines that will see street duty. The base model is the S-Trim that produces around 6 psi right out of the box (depending on engine displacement). The beauty of the V-1 is its versatility and upgrade capability. In the past, the next step up was the R-Trim, a fairly heavy-duty piece that was more race than street. Now the T-Trim is available, filling the gap between the S and the R. We didn't even try to talk Vortech into sending a T-Trim for the Camaro because it is simply too much for a stock 305. Instead we used the V-1S-Trim; it is a real-world, anyone-can-do-it, bolt-on kit. It comes with everything but tools, and the instructions are simple to read. There were a couple of minor surprises and the standard bonehead maneuvers on our part, but otherwise the project went well with minimum chopping.

This is the engine compartment of the 1991. On the driver fender you'll see the washer-fluid reservoir. Kiss it goodbye, because a new smaller jug for window spritz is supplied and mounted in a different location along with the evaporative canister and alternator. The fresh-air intake duct, auxiliary fuel pump, and fuel management unit (FMU) belong in this location. By the time everything was installed, it looked like a box of snakes. Also notice the bracket for the Hotchkis strut-tower brace on the driver-side strut tower; it doesn't fit anymore.This was the funky part. The supercharger is lubricated with engine oil that is fed with a high-pressure line from the oil-pressure sender port above the oil filter.Both a 45- and a 90-degree fitting were supplied and mated to an oil-feed line that we ran along the side of the oil pan to the compressor. There is a tiny orifice in the feed line so slopping on Teflon thread pâté was a no-no, and we barely tightened it so it leaked. Do yourself a favor: Pull the exhaust and do it right the first time, instead of pulling the headers twice to tighten the fittings correctly and stop the leak as we did.The return line from the compressor carried oil back to the pan after we punched a hole in the side and threaded it with a 3/8-NPT-pipe-thread tap. This part was a little scary, but after hitting the oil pan a couple of times with a big hammer and a punch, the experience became cathartic. We thought we had a 3/8 tap in the ol' tap and die set, but guess what? We didn't. NPT stands for National Pipe Thread, not the same as the stuff in a standard set. Obvious to some, but not to us at the time. The result was a two-day delay because all the oddball-tool stores had closed by the time we learned the score. With the hole tapped, we screwed in the return-line fitting and attached the return hose. No leaks yet.The stock fuel pump put out about 40 psi, not enough to hang with big boost numbers, so Vortech supplied an auxiliary pump with the kit. The Vortech pump is rated at 155 gph and mounted inline between the hard line that goes to the tank and the fitting before the fuel rail. For some reason, the fuel line in the kit was 5/16 inch instead of 3/8 inch. So, we went to the parts store for the hose that fits between the pump and the hard line from the fuel rail that is joined by the 3/8-hose mender.Even with the auxiliary fuel pump boosting the fuel pressure to about 50 psi at idle, the fuel regulator needed some assistance when the manifold reached positive pressure. A fuel management unit supplied in the kit blocks off the return line to the tank to temporarily boost fuel pressure feeding the engine at full boost. A vacuum line was supplied that we ran to the manifold near the MAP sensor on the passenger side of the intake using a vacuum tee we already had.The FMU mounted on the inner fender near the horns on the driver side of the car. Our model was an 8 to 1 unit (there are others available), meaning for every 1 pound of boost, the FMU adds 8 pounds of fuel pressure. Do the math: At 10 pounds of boost, that's 80 psi of fuel pressure! Zoinks! Not believing this could be possible, we ran the Camaro down the nearby international raceway boulevard, watched the big Auto Meter fuel gauge (in a glorious hood-mounted locale), and geeked when the needle passed 100 psi. According to Vortech Engineer Mike Regan, the huge number is produced when the FMU pressure is added to about 50 percent of the static pressure (20 psi). This essentially shut the injectors off after they maxed out at 90 psi and caused problems. We'll fix this later.We pulled the radiator to make photography easier and decided that the entire job was easier because of it. After the radiator was out, the alternator, the power-steering pump, and the bracket that holds the two needed to be removed as well. Vortech provides the new bracket that attaches to the block and a big plate that holds the supercharger compressor. Our 305 had two studs in the head and the block, so we used a 1/4-inch socket to twist them out.
This is the bracket provided by Vortech. We needed to buy a 7/16-Allen-head socket to attach it to the main bolt. With it tight, we could bend the fuel lines out of the way between the valve cover and the bracket. Notice the design of the bracket requires that the studs are removed from the block and head to make way for the two 5-1/2-inch mounting bolts.The power-steering pulley needed to be removed, and it won't budge without a puller (we tried). Instead of breaking it, we went to Auto Zone (a local parts house) and rented one for free with a $40 deposit. The Vortech manual recommends Snap-on puller (PN CJ117B2), but when was the last time the Snap-on guy came to the alley where you're working? The Auto Zone puller was made by OEM (PN 002075-27031). The plate was bare metal, so we painted it black after we shot this photo. Then we mounted the steering pump to the supercharger plate using three original bolts from the pump and one bolt from the kit.The supercharger plate bolted into position, and the alternator was relocated under the power-steering pump. The alternator weather-pack connector wires must be extended about 12 inches to reach the new location. The main power wire can be run from the battery below the water pump without being modified.With the alternator on and the supercharger plate painted and in position, we reinstalled the power-steering pulley. With the radiator out of the way, there is plenty of room to attach the installation collar. You can barely see it in the photo, but the driver-side header needs to be installed before installing the supercharger plate. We also needed to buy an extra 8 inches of 3/8-inch return hose for the power-steering pump to avoid a 90-degree turn due to the new bracket location and bend the pressure line out of the way.This is the path of the main serpentine belt that was in the kit. The part number is 2A046-988 for the main belt and 2A046-605 for the supercharger belt. For roadside emergencies, we now carry a 1/2-inch breaker bar to release the tensioner on the main belt system. The supercharger belt requires an 11/16-open-end wrench for the two primary-adjusting plate bolts and a slim, 5/8-inch open end for the bolt that is behind the idler pulley. This photo also came in handy when the idler pulley came loose and tossed the belt in the middle of nowhere.The crank pulley that turns the supercharger is the same part number as the factory pulley. There is a spacer that aligns the additional crank pulley with the compressor pulley and four bolts, which are extra long to compensate. The only problem we had was the center pulley bolt was a 7/16-20x4 and the Camaro needed a 3/8-20x4, so we added that to the list of stuff we needed.The crankcase ventilation hose was rerouted from the valve cover to the elbow on the inlet duct of the compressor. We used 12 inches of 1/2-inch heater hose and coupled it to the hose provided in the kit. Normally, the existing crankcase ventilation hose would be cut and connected, but we tried to save as many of the expensive-looking factory pieces as we could.The intake duct on the V-1 mounted where the factory evaporative canister sat in the driver-side fender well. The canister was relocated to the splash pan underneath the fender in the same approximate location. Two feet of 1/2-inch and 2 feet of 5/16-inch vacuum hose were required to extend the hoses to the new location. Included in the kit was 12 inches of wire to extend to the canister solenoid.
Instead, we used the MSD 6 BTM (PN 6462) to replace the existing 6 AL. The 6 BTM combines the functions of boost referenced timing control and multiple spark, allowing us to install only one box. Since the evaporative canister had been moved under the car, the 6 BTM bolted in its place without interfering with the inlet ducting on the supercharger.At the strip, the car behaved poorly and we didn't know why. Changing timing and tire pressures just didn't help, so we went to math class and learned that the injectors were too small and the replacements were totally wrong. Next month, we will all visit math class again, and the Camaro will step into the 13s (we hope) with the right amount of boost retard, fuel pressure, initial timing, a chip from Vortech, and the correct injectors.

The Placement Office provides a number of services that are available to graduates to assist them with developing and achieving their career goals.
Individual Assistance and Counseling
We are available to provide individual assistance to graduates to assist them with their career planning. This includes individual counseling, identifying employment opportunities and help with the job search process. Graduates may schedule individual appointments with the Director to discuss job search issues.
If you are interested in receiving reciprocity from another law school to help in your job search, please contact the Placement Office Coordinator, (503) 370-6057.
Resource Room
The Placement Office Resource Room contains numerous materials to assist graduates in their job search efforts. Resources include firm resumes (listing specifics about particular law firms), state and regional Bar directories, a national directory of corporate counsel, federal government employment materials, information on graduate law study programs, tips for those seeking judicial clerkships, employment surveys and articles, as well as various materials on alternative careers using legal skills.
Loan Repayment Assistance Program
Willamette recognizes that many graduates are unable to pursue careers in public interest law because of the low salaries paid in the public interest sector and the amount of the graduate's loan repayment schedule. The Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) was designed to aid College of Law graduates working in public interest law by reducing their law school student loan debt.
Under the program, the College of Law will lend eligible candidates money to help them repay their student loans. If a loan recipient works in a qualifying public interest position for at least one year after receipt of the LRAP, the loan may be forgiven. Eligible graduates may apply annually for a total of three years of LRAP funding and loan forgiveness.
Willamette's Reciprocity Policy
The Placement Office at Willamette University College of Law is happy to assist students and alumni of other law schools with their job search in Oregon. Our policy concerning the use of our career services and resources is set forth below.
- We make our services and resources available to all students and graduates of other ABA accredited law schools that permit our students and graduates the same access. Our policy is to mirror the reciprocity policy of the requesting law school. In the case of online reciprocity, WUCL uses the Symplicity job posting system and will allow access to reciprocity students who's law school will grant access to our students or graduates.
- There is no limit on the number of referrals our office will take from a single school; however, in the case of schools which permit reciprocity only on a one-to-one basis, we will grant reciprocity only if the requesting law school waives such requirement for a Willamette Law student or graduate.
- Students and graduates of other law schools must have their Career Services Office submit a request for reciprocity and a letter of introduction one week prior to the first visit. Absolutely no walk-in requests will be honored. The letter or email request must include the name and email address of student or graduate.
- The duration of the request will mirror the length honored by the requesting school, but will not exceed three months from the date of the original request. Renewal of a reciprocity request will be considered as a new, first time request and will count as an additional individual's use of the office. Students and graduates using our office are required to identify themselves as students or graduates who have been granted reciprocity.
When responding to career opportunities found through the Placement Office at Willamette University College of Law, applicants are required to state in their cover letters to employers that they obtained the listing through a reciprocal agreement between the applicant's school and Willamette University College of Law.
The Placement Office reserves the right to deny reciprocity to individuals who misuse our facilities or do not comply with university policies.

From Courses
About Me:
- I am from Nashville, TN and have two brothers (25, 17) and one sister (20).
- I graduated from Georgia Tech in August, 2007 with an Industrial and Systems Engineering degree.
- I love to travel and my next destination of choice is South America. I would love to work abroad at some point. So far I've been to:
Singapore + China + Thailand + Cambodia + Malaysia + Inner Mongolia + Australia + Luxembourg + France + Italy + Germany + Austria + Spain + Netherlands + Belgium + Haiti + Bahamas + Canada
- I have glasses. But I've had them for less than a year.
- My pinky finger is as long as my second toe.
- This photo is WAY TOO BIG!!!
Particularly Interesting Remarks:
- Most doctors are not employed by the hospital -> the hospital "allows" doctors on the staff.
- Hughes Spalding designers wished to make the new hospital "more like home" for the patient focus.
+ warm colors + lots of windows + natural light + hardwook floors -> fake linoleum! + music
- new beds employ self-propulsion
- staff lounges have more windows, which really helps with staff retention
- put supplies in the same locations at all 3 places
- wireless access EVERYWHERE. but is it free?
- "Computers on Wheels" (COWs) keep up with paperwork management for hospital staff. 1 for every 5 rooms.
Food for Thought:
- How can you design something so creative/innovative that someone will want to put their name on it?
- How do you make everyone jump on the bandwagon? This seems to be a prevalent problem with new innovations EVERYWHERE, not just health care.
I wrote down a few notes about "room messaging," which would explain everything you would want to know about what is going on with a certain procedure happening in that room, etc. However, I don't remember if that is actually being employed or if it is a new idea. I'll ask someone.
