Vogt's Notes: 2013 rings in with a few more changes for Echo Publishing
After a year of significant changes for Echo Publishing in 2012, bear with us as we introduce you to a few more in 2013.
These changes aren't quite as drastic as closing our Pine River building, reducing our open hours at our Pequot Lakes building and consolidating our operations with the Brainerd Dispatch, all of which happened in early 2012.
The start of 2013 has simply brought a few changes to our editorial staff.
The Pine River Journal's editor for more than seven years — Kelly Virden — left us in November to pursue another career path. We continue to miss her every day and decided to get through the rest of 2012 before finalizing plans for her successor.
That successor turned out to be me. I am now editor of both the Lake Country Echo and the Pine River Journal.
On Jan. 2, we welcomed Travis Grimler to our staff as a full-time reporter. His primary duties will be coverage of the Pine River and Backus communities for the Pine River Journal.
Travis shouldn't be a new face because he was an intern for the Journal and Echo during the summers of 2009 and 2010. And he has periodically contributed to our publications since then, through columns from his time spent teaching in China to stories for our Love of the Lakes magazine.
Reporter Kate Perkins rounds out our writing staff. She has been with us for just more than a year as a reporter for both the Journal and the Echo.
Publisher Pete Mohs is coordinating and editing sports coverage for both the Journal and the Echo. Tracy Wallin continues to design Pine River Journal pages, and Marcy Nickel does the same for the Echo.
With the change in personnel, we reiterate what we said a year ago when the Journal, Echo, Echoland Piper Shopper and pineandlakes.com website consolidated with the Brainerd Dispatch: You shouldn't notice any difference in your newspapers.
As it has for the past 77 years, the Pine River Journal will continue coverage of the Pine River and Backus communities.
And as it has for the past 41 years, the Lake Country Echo will continue coverage of the Nisswa, Lake Shore, Merrifield, Pequot Lakes, Jenkins, Breezy Point and Crosslake communities.
The Echo Publishing office in Pequot Lakes remains open from 8 a.m. to noon Monday-Friday with limited staff. Don't hesitate to contact us as outlined below. We look forward to continuing to provide the best news coverage possible for you.
Nancy Vogt: 218-855-5877 or email@example.com
Travis Grimler: 218-855-5853 or email@example.com
Kate Perkins: 218-855-5858 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Pete Mohs: 218-855-5855 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Hi Everyone,
I had a dead out in October from a nuc that I got in April, it was cool and wet all season and this hive got progressively weaker even though I fed them all summer. When I inspected in mid October they were basically gone with a handful left. I scoped them up into a jar with alcohol and sent them to the state inspector. The letter came back today that they had tracheal mites. I have another hive next to that one that I thought was a little stronger. What would be the contamination factor and how should I treat them?
Thanks, Mary

Over 15,000 marriage and family therapists are listed in TherapistLocator.net. The therapists are Clinical Fellows and Members of AAMFT, and as such must meet stringent training and education requirements established by AAMFT. All AAMFT Clinical Fellows and Members have agreed to abide by the AAMFT Code of Ethics. This Directory will assist you in locating a marriage and family therapist in your area. When seeking the services of a marriage and family therapist be sure to ask if your potential therapist is a Clinical Fellow or Member of AAMFT.
Therapist Locator is a public service of the AAMFT Research and Education Foundation. Therapist Locator will provide you with information about a range of problems facing today's families, and help you search for a qualified family therapist in your area.
Family Therapists are highly qualified to provide mental health services. All licensed MFTs must have a minimum of a master's degree and at least two years of post-graduate supervised clinical experience. Thirty percent of all MFTs have a doctoral degree. Currently, 50 states and the District of Columbia recognize and license Family Therapists as independent mental health providers.

Marriage and Family Therapists
Marriage and family therapists are mental health professionals with a minimum of a master's degree and two years supervised clinical experience. Marriage and family therapists (commonly referred to as MFTs or family therapists) are trained and licensed to independently diagnose and treat mental health and substance abuse problems.
Multiracial Families
There are approximately 7 million people in the United States who identify as mixed-race, with half of these being under the age of 18, and it is estimated that the mixed-race population in the U.S. will reach 21% by 2050. Yet, multiracial individuals and families remain marginalized and overlooked by mainstream U.S. society.
Adolescent Substance Abuse
Being a teenager and raising a teenager are individually, and collectively, enormous challenges. For many teens, illicit substance use and abuse become part of the landscape of their teenage years.
Financial Distress & Family
The shift from having "something," even moderate means, to having "nothing" is devastating. When families are faced with the grief of losing everything and the fear of never being able to recover, these uncontrollable circumstances have a drastic impact on families as a whole, on marriages, and on husbands, wives, parents, and children.
Therapy Topics
These brochures contain easy-to-understand information and resources and discuss the role of marriage and family therapists in treating problems affecting the public. Written for clients and potential clients, Therapy Topics are designed to educate consumers and market therapist's services.
The AAMFT Research and Education Foundation exists to fund systemic and relational research, scholarship, and education in an effort to support and enhance the practice of systemic and relational therapies; advance the health care continuum; and improve client outcomes.

Intel: Nygren Likes It, Nomura's Warming to It, Bernstein's Still Skeptical
There was certainly a substantial amount of debate today on Intel (INTC) in advance of the company's Q4 earnings report thursday afternoon, after the closing bell.
Mostly positive views propelled the stock to a gain of $1.01, or almost 4%, for the day, closing at $26.51.
J.P. Morgan's Christopher Danely upgraded the stock to Overweight, with a $29 price target, arguing Intel is being more realistic about its prospects in the mobile market, while Jefferies & Co.'s Mark Lipacis reiterated a Buy rating and a $32 price target, arguing, conversely, that the company's going to ride a manufacturing advantage to major gains in the mobile market.
At the margin, there were some more mixed views, including some resolute skepticism on the company.
For the bulls, fund manager Bill Nygren of the Oakmark Fund appeared on CNBC's "Smart Money: Half Time Report" to talk about his investment in the stock and how Intel is on the comeback trail.
Said Nygren, "We think new management is changing the nature of the company, and putting more focus on mobile."
"Intel is probably investing more money in mobile than the rest of the chip industry, combined, and we think eventually it can work out for the company the way the PC did."
Some bears, while not reformed like Danely, were nevertheless softening their their tone, including Nomura Equity Research's Romit Shah, who has a Neutral rating on the stock, but raised his price target to $27 from $24, writing that improvement in the PC market is important for Intel.
Data last week from Gartner about a sharp drop in PC sales in Q4, nevertheless implies upside for Intel in the current quarter, he thinks:
We believe our revenue estimates of $13.7b (+2%) in Q4 and $12.7b (-7%) in Q1 could be conservative due to improvement in the PC Client Group (65% of sales). We are modeling PCG revenue down 1% and Intel MPU units up 1% qoq for Q4. In comparison, Gartner's preliminary Q4 PC forecast suggests that PCs grew 3% qoq in Q4 (Fig. 1). We also note that Gartner's PC forecast does not include tablets and chromebooks, which could collectively add 100-150bps of incremental growth in Q4. In addition, we are modeling 9% decline in PCG in Q1 versus 7% and 6% decline in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Shah left unchanged his estimates for this year of $52.6 billion in revenue and EPS of $1.89.
Others were not so charitable. Bernstein Research's Stacy Rasgon today reiterates an Underperform rating on Intel shares, and an $18 price target, reiterating a view that he has expressed before, namely that "Intel is undergoing the beginnings of a structural business model transition that carries significant risk."
The issue for Intel, he contends, has never been simply a weak PC market.
Rather, Intel's problem is that the mobile computing market will never support the high-margin, high-priced parts that Intel is used to in the PC market, suggesting less profit even as Intel gains share:
The bigger issue faced by Intel is PRICE. These new markets support an ASP that is about a fifth of what Intel earns on a mainstream notebook MPU today (Exhibit 4). This implies that Intel needs to sell ~5 chips into new smartphone and tablets markets to equal one PC (and of course, if PCs really are entering secular decline, they would have to sell even more). This implies a need to take an enormous amount of market share simply to move the needle. In order to do this, Intel will need products that aren't just competitive, or a little bit better, than the competition. Intel will need to be massively better than anything else in the marketplace in order to even hope to gain this kind of traction. Attempting to do this will require continued high levels of investment in both capex and R&D, during a period in which their business model is shifting away from their core, pressuring shareholder returns. And the end game is not guaranteed – process advantages may not necessarily translate to these types of share gains (we'll get to both of these points in a bit).
And, unlike Danely, he doesn't think much of Intel's newfound willingness to share its factories with outside chip makers for a fee:
While the company's recently promulgated willingness to "hold conversations with anyone" on foundry is a substantial change from yesteryear, it does not appear to us that Intel is throwing open the fab doors on foundry efforts. We believe current "strategic" foundry efforts will never move the needle, while strategic and business issues may impede "high-volume" efforts (which are likely to be ROIC, if not necessarily margin, dilutive, if they ever get off the ground). We would classify Intel's current foundry efforts as "high value, low volume." The business today is characterized by a lack of strategic overlap with Intel's current business, and reflective of markets with very high prices (for instance, high-end FPGAs can and do sell for thousands of dollars apiece) suggesting plenty of profit pool to spread around, and allowing Intel to value-price these services. Low volumes are good in one sense – namely, Intel does not have to build capacity. Coupled with Intel's likely ability to charge a premium, this suggests that the underlying economics and ROIC for such "strategic" foundry are likely quite good for Intel. But low-volumes are also bad in the sense that such business is highly unlikely to move the needle at all (we suspect we have fudge factors in our Intel revenue model bigger than any foundry revenue coming from Altera, for example). A move to "high volume" foundry has many other issues. Some are strategic in nature – most of the high volume leading edge space is, of course, mobile SoCs, and area where Intel is trying to build out their own business (and foundries competing with their customers typically don't do all that well).

Honestly, I think Kristen's problem is she doesn't like the spotlight. She has a hard time being herself when doing interviews or at any red carpet event. I don't think she is rude on purpose, it just comes out when they want her to do stuff and she doesn't feel like it. Watch her do interviews on Kimmel or Letterman, she looks sooo uncomfortable.

How do you know she is spoiled,bratty,mean and selfish? Do you live with her, are you her best friend? I don't think so!!!!! Look that is her business what she does,not yours, so butt out!!!!! This is Kristen and Rob's life not yours or any body else's You go girl, you do your thing and don't worry about what the childish people say.Love you and Rob. Take care of each other.

From what I've seen, she has been nothing but spoiled, rich, bratty, mean, and selfish. Rarely ever smiles in a nice way, swears, points the middle finger. Not to mention she's not the prettiest flower in the bouquet. Also does anyone notice that she always has dark eyecircles, looks tired, and looks like a zombie???

Posted at 1:08 PM on May 24, 2012
Can't believe the adoration she gets and that her BF puts up with it. She's a spoiled, conceited, fake little girl that has no clue how lucky she is.
Continue with this kind of behavior and she'll be a has been sooner than later.
I think she's got so many people conned into thinking she's this sweet, shy, quirky kid that just wants to make movies.
Part of making movies and being in the public eye is behaving appropriately. Flipping people/paps off 'cause you don't feel like posing for a picture is rude. It's part of your job when you're out there promoting your film.
Rob…if this is what you find attractive, you're not the person I thought your were.

No kidding….I think sometimes these actors forget why they get paid the big bucks. Paparazzi photos taken while they're out during their own time are one thing. She has no obligation to those creeps…BUT this was during promotions for her film, stopping for a few minutes to take a few photos is part of the job!

I'm like one of the guys. I don't like chick flicks and prefer watching action and comedies, but I can't watch horror. I enjoy watching some stand-up comedies. I am Vietnamese with a hint of Chinese. I wear glasses, but wear contacts most of the time. I am a nerd (and proud of it!). I love playing video games, reading comic books/manga, and watching anime, but it's something I don't do every day.
I love going to theme parks, arcades, museums, zoos, observatories, and other places to go sightseeing. I try to do a lot of weekend vacations.
I tend to be easy going. I enjoy life and just want to make the most out of it. I am drama free as I hate having drama in my life. Life is too short to worry over the little things. I am career minded so I tend to over work a lot, but that doesn't stop me from taking time to enjoy life with my friends and family.

Hey everyone,
I already introduced myself in the Prop Building Workshop, but I guess I should do that here again. Name is Tim, I am a games concepter from Germany and have just received the final parts from Bobamaker for my full ROTJ armor. I just applied for the 501st, hoping to get accepted.
Still have some stuff I need to fix and the pictures are surely ******, but here are some shots I would like to share with you guys to get some feedback.
I will need to get another set of gloves as the ones I got are too small for my humongous hands. Also I need to refit the knee armor and launchers and the gauntlets a little.
Also the collar was not fitting in the pics, what I noticed too late.
Some questions I was hoping you guys can help me out with:
Is there any chance to cushion the front part of the collar armor piece? The heavy backpack keeps dragging it into my throat.
Did you stitch the wookie braids to the vest? If so: where should I fixate them?
How should the belts and butt armor piece sit on the rear? Any cool pictures of your costumes as reference?
What is the best way to strap the knee armor and launchers to the leg, as the tightly wrapped velcro keeps crumpling up the flightsuit in a weird way.
How do you guys cushion the inner helmet?
What is the best way to get a replica of the black belt buckle (the divers belt one)?
How have you fixated the flamer pipes under the flightsuit sleeve and how long should they be to be able to move properly during wearing the outfit?
How high should the backpack be strapped to the back armor? Directly beneath the cutout slots?
How do you manage to not get the inner visor steamy from breating in there?
Do you use any kind of voice manipulators or is that over the top?
As you can see I am not too experienced with wearing the armor and putting it on (what I hope will change in the near future), but I have worked with tabletop miniatures for ages and will surely be able to do some modification on it. When wearing this out in public I want to get it completely right.
Thanks in advance for answering any of my stupid newbie questions and for providing such an awesome knowledge base.


text: I'm going to Vancouver this summer and am trying to decide between two condos for the week - one is in Espana in the International Village and the other is in the Woodwards building. I stayed in Firenze by the International Village during the Olympics and thought the area was very convenient, but the Woodwards condo is closer to the Waterfront station, meaning I wouldn't have to transfer to get to the airport. I know Cordova and Hastings look sketchy once you get past Abbott, but I was wondering if it would be safe to walk to the Waterfront station from the Woodwards very early in the morning (I'll probably have to leave for the airport around 5:00am for my return flight). How is the area around the Woodwards?

I'm so sick of people complaining about stat hats. This is a company that tries to make the community happy. They've done 16 patches (they skipped one).

Sure there are things wrong with the game, but it irks me when people blame stat hats on the community not getting technical fixes. That is not the case.
Lol, Naughty Dog bringing out paper bags to put on your head really buffens up the customisation. It also makes me happy and is the best thing they've done to this game.

But it isn't all the hats, customization needs mroe trousers and shirts, less hats. I am not bashing this, just saying what they should do instead of making hats.

Naughty Dog doesn't configure and design the game with my needs specifically in mind, therefore they fail.

It is odd to think that people would rather have more content of which isn't useful or entertaining to the game, rather than having the game fixed and weapons balanced.

foolish me for liking more content in the game...

DFRWS Challenge 2011
Scenario 1: Suspicious Death
Donald Norby was found dead in his home with a single bullet to the head. It is unclear whether this is a suicide or homicide. The largest question revolves around the victim's potential connections to an organized criminal group called KRYPTIX. You have been asked to perform a forensic examination of Norby's Android device found at the scene in order to determine his activities and, possibly, who he communicated with prior to his death. Your ultimate goal is to determine whether he killed himself or was murdered and provide any further leads to the investigator.
The device was acquired using what the agent considered to be industry best practices. The device flash storage as well as removable media was collected. See the case specific logs for more information.
I always do these challenges, most of the times just to stay focused. I rarely submit results though. Anyhow, for those looking for challenges or to just get sample data to work with, there are two scenarios there.
*fires up FTK + EnCase* (yes I use both simultaneously to replicate results.

Judging from the subject matter of The How and the Why, which Trinity Repertory Company is staging through December 30, you'd think that playwright Sarah Treem's successful latest work would be more of feminine than feminist concern, dismissing half of its audience.
Yet this calmly adventurous play bravely risks boring both genders, launching into analyses and disquisitions about menstruation and menopause. We're not likely to see this adapted into a Hollywood vehicle for Meryl Streep and Kiera Knightley (but it could hit the small screen, since the writer is also the showrunner for HBO's In Treatment).
Directed by Shana Gozansky, it doesn't rush things as a snappy one-act; it takes its time with two leisurely acts and an intermission. A drawnout argument about evolutionary biology is at stage center. But this is more than a dry if volatile debate between two scientists, as we hear more about "plasma levels of lactoferrin" and such than we care to know. We get an energetic conversation about life and love, gender roles and conflicts, determinism and determination.
Rachel Hardeman (Barrie Kreinik) is an ambitious young woman, an NYU grad student in her late 20s, impatient to make a reputation for herself. Her theory boils down to the proposition that menstruation evolved in human females in response to sperm being toxic, because of all the accompanying bacteria during intercourse (men being classified as poisonous to women was a metaphorical side benefit). Prof. Zelda Kahn (Anne Scurria), with decades of experience and recognition behind her, has devised what's being called the "grandmother hypothesis." It proposes that, unlike with other primates, menopause developed so primitive women would nurture their grandchildren, who would otherwise be neglected as their mothers were constantly giving birth until their early deaths. As Zelda puts it: unlike a chimp, a human child who has a grandmother to peel his banana has time to get smart.
As they converse in Zelda's office, the professor is patient and cordial and the student is hostile and argumentative. Indicated at the very outset but not discussed until well into the play, Rachel only recently discovered that Zelda is her mother and gave her up for adoption soon after birth. Despite initially being nervous about the meeting, Zelda quickly eases into maternal mode, sincerely admiring her daughter. She praises Rachel's hypothesis as "revolutionary," breaking out champagne, though if widely recognized it would render her theory obsolete. She even says that she will recommend that Rachel read her explanatory abstract at a prestigious upcoming conference.
But it is their unfolding understandings of each other that intrigue us, not all the theorizing. Zelda seems quite content with never having married as well as with not having been slowed down with a child, but her daughter pointedly asks her: "Does the grandmother hypothesis keep you warm at night?" For her part, Rachel unwittingly makes clear that her boyfriend, a grad student in her field, has an opposite personality, shy and passive while she is in perpetual battle. (I didn't buy her being hopelessly romantic and dependent on him, not as she is otherwise drawn. Maybe I believed in Rachel's self-sufficiency more than she did.)

D'Antoni regrets leaving Suns for Knicks
By Ben Golliver
Getting an NBA coach to second-guess something as simple as a substitution pattern or a play call is like pulling teeth. For good reason. The job is an endless series of decisions amid constant scrutiny; unwavering self-belief projects confidence, the great currency of professional sports coaching. You will never get everything right, conventional wisdom holds, so it's better to appear as a man of principles than as a flip-flopper. State your case and then leave the postgame dissections to the media.
That custom makes the following revelation from Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni all the more fascinating. D'Antoni doesn't just regret a late-game turnover or a mismatch that went unchecked. He actually acknowledged that he got it wrong when he made arguably the biggest decision of his career, leaving the Suns to coach the Knicks in 2008.
ESPNLA.com with the full admission.
"I shouldn't have gone to New York," he says, looking down at the sideline in Memphis, pacing on that unstable right leg. I should have stuck in there and battled. You don't get to coach somebody like him [Steve Nash] too many times. It's pretty sacred and you need to take care of it. I didn't."
D'Antoni has never told Nash this. It feels good to confess.
"I think we got frustrated and I got frustrated. That's why I left. We were there, it seemed like we deserved it, and then it seemed like something happened all the time. Maybe we weren't good enough either. We have to understand that. I probably irrationally made a decision right when the season was over. You should take a month to figure it out. I shouldn't have left. That was my fault."
Leaving Phoenix for New York, particularly with the benefit of hindsight, looks like an obvious blunder. D'Antoni left the desert after consecutive runs to the Western Conference finals in 2005 and 2006 and then successive steps back in 2007 and 2008. Yes, the momentum was going in the wrong direction at that time, but the fundamentals were still solid. The Suns won 70.7 percent of their regular-season games over those four years, a difficult feat anytime and anywhere. The deadly combination of Nash and Amar'e Stoudemire was still intact. Good weather. Great fan base. Life could have been a lot worse.
Indeed, it was a lot worse in New York, where D'Antoni's precious offensive system was in the hands of Chris Duhon and Nate Robinson, and where he went 121-167 in three-plus seasons before abruptly resigning last March amid reports of a power struggle with All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony. He cracked .500 just once and didn't win a single playoff game, let alone a series, in the Big Apple. His offenses, once elite, were pedestrian. D'Antoni reacted like a man given a second lease on his coaching life when the Lakers hired him earlier this month, reuniting him with Nash. Now, we've heard from the horse's mouth exactly why he was so excited, almost jubilant. It's refreshing to read such candor, especially given the high-profile circumstances.

In some cases, companies can and should be excluded from bidding for a public contract, or being awarded one, on ethical grounds, or the grounds of grave misconduct. A first step can be asking local municipalities, schools, churches and communities what contracts it has with G4S and when they terminate or are up for renewal. Many universities and businesses are not bound by transparency requirements, but provide avenues to this information willingly to those invested in their operations. Additionally, local governments are required to be transparent with contract information.
- Educate
Make fliers, postcards, pamphlets, stickers, and other materials to spread the word about how G4S participates in poor labor practices all over the world, and how the global company is responsible for illegal activity in Palestine. Find creative means to protest G4S in your home town, such as the banner drop [1] in Philadelphia. Use our Learn More About G4S [2] page to find inspiration through other past demonstrations. Attend town meetings, write letters, participate in speaking events in your schools, churches and other community groups. Create or join a facebook page, like Stop G4S [3] or Boykot G4S [4]!
- Corporate Accountability Initiatives
Corporations need to be held accountable for their complicity in the occupation and Israel's crimes, and companies, universities and local officials need to consider the effects on their reputation of doing business with a company like G4S. Campaign methods include letter writing, contacting local municipalities, presenting at local township meetings, involving the media, writing petitions, holding demonstrations, and presenting legal challenges with the help of legal counsel.
- Divest!
Investor activism can be enacted with divestment initiatives. Managers of mutual funds, personal or church funds and socially responsible investment funds can be asked not to invest in G4S. Are you invested in G4S through your own pension fund, or through your school or church? Are you profiting from their human rights abuses? Ask your investment managers to divest from G4S. TIAA-CREF, one of the largest financial pension fund providers in the U.S., is invested in G4S. Sign this petition [5] asking TIAA-CREF to divest from G4S.
- Tools
No To G4S [6]is a blog tracking activity demanding justice against G4S.
One successful protest tactic is creating alternative company material that includes factual information on human rights abuses and international law violations, as seen in the London action at the G4S annual investors meeting where pamphlets were distributed as an "alternative report" titled G4S: Promoting Injustice [7].
Coalition-building, or connecting various movements affected by the abuses of G4S—such as migrant rights, prison justice, labor rights and Palestinian solidarity—is a positive strategy to make important stands against the company's massive list of injustices and broaden our reach.

Local medical records found in Alabama dumpster
A resident in Florence, Alabama made a surprising discovery inside a dumpster dozens of medical records had been tossed out with the trash.
Police traced those records back to a doctor's office in Norton, Virginia.
"It's concerning because there are phone numbers, birth dates, addresses, social security numbers in these files." Said detective Jerry Pearson with Florence Police, "anyone can use them to become that person and get credit cards, buy cars, get houses in that person`s name."
Police believe the doctor had relocated to the Florence area and had taken the records with him.
Part of the records contained information linked to Norton Community Hospital, Mountain States Health Alliance says the records did not belong to them.
"It appears the records belonged to a physician by the name of Kenneth Kiser who was a physician in the Norton, Virginia area," said Tim Belisle, Mountain States Health Alliance general counsel.
Mountain States officials say Doctor Kiser was not an employee of the healthcare system.
The files that were linked back to Norton Community Hospital appear to be laboratory test results that had been sent to the doctor's office.
"They are not patient records from Norton Community Hospital," says Belisle, "they appear to be physician office records of doctor Kiser."
Mountain States officials say they conducted an extensive investigation into the records after learning about their discovery.
Florence, Alabama police told WHNT TV the best part of the story is the records were found by an honest citizen and turned in to authorities.
"It's nice to know an honest person saw them and turned them over," says Pearson.
A Wellmont Health System spokesperson tells us there is no record of Doctor Kiser working for the system.
We have not been able to locate Doctor Kiser.

Play-By-Playmate: The Super-Sexy-Sensory Sports Seer
Jaime went 4-for-4 in her NBA conference semi-final picks. This week she looks to extend on her streak with her picks for the conference match-ups.
Well, well, well. Seems like someone knows a little bit about basketball.
We're onto the conference finals and if you care to take a look at my predictions from two weeks ago, you will notice a common theme: correctness. Absolute and unabashed correctness.
That's right. All four teams I picked have advanced and I've turned into a bit of a basketball swami over the past week. I have taken in a lot of hard court action in anticipation of making more correct picks and putting my streak to the test. I'm like a super sports psychic. A hard court clairvoyant. A super-sexy-sensory sports seer.
I'm the Paul the Octopus of basketball, you know, if he wasn't named Paul…and wasn't an octopus…or I was an octopus?
Okay, I'm nothing like Paul the Octopus, but I am going to clean up again in this round, starting with the Spurs and the Thunder.
Western Conference: San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Before I get started here I'd just like to point out that Tim Duncan has never been left out of the playoffs. That's 14 straight years of the Spurs in the postseason. They have been one of the best teams of the past decade and they only seem to be getting better with age. They have made it to the 2012 conference finals in the minimum number of games, sweeping aside both the Jazz and the Clippers, and they enter this series against the Thunder well rested and well oiled.
That said, they are going up against a team essentially 10 years their junior but maybe just as good. The Thunder are the Spurs 10 years ago. They've got one of the best defensive big men in the game in Serge Ibaka, a bona fide scoring champion in Kevin Durant, a good play caller in Russell Westbrook and a breakout "I might go off and have a 30-point game any minute" player in James Harden. And all of them are under 23 (though James Harden looks like he might be Father Time, oldest-looking 22-year-old ever). They might not have the experience of the Spurs, but I think they've got the talent and I'm saying the Thunder take it in seven.
Eastern Conference: Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat
Can anyone say "Rematch"? How about "Revenge"? These two teams met up last year and the Heat sent the Celtics packing in five games.
I don't think they will get off as easy this time around. Without Bosh, the Heat have some serious matchup problems if Pierce, Allen, Garnett and Rondo are all on the floor at the same time. Poor LeBron and Wade won't be able to take a second of the series off. They will have to be playing full tilt the whole time. No one else on that team seems to be able to pick up the slack consistently and they just don't have the chemistry the Celtics have. Those guys have been playing together for five years now. They know each other's moves inside and out, and the Heat have struggled on more than one occasion this season to get on the same page.
Still, LBJ and Wade have been able to go off when push comes to shove and I think they'll be able to come through when it counts, so Heat in seven seems about right.
That leaves us with a Miami/OKC final, which I'd be more than okay with. I'd obviously be rooting for the Heat, but if you removed the hometown team factor from the equation, I'd be perfectly fine with the Thunder breaking in their up-and-coming dynasty a little early.

|Great Bluetooth
User: Jason B, Dec 28, 2009
Ive tried a few Bluetooth earpieces prior to this and with most - to get noise cancelling, you need to sacrifice audio quality. This is the first one I have used where the incoming call sounds as good as outgoing... truly a feat! The noise cancelling does a good job of taking care of buisiness and should work just fine unless you are walking around a construction site.
The big deal is the audio quality... it just sounds better than any other I have tried (ie. Jawbone, Blueant, Motorola). When you boil it down - what good does noise cancelling do if you sound like garbage to the other caller?
The only con I can think of is that it can be unconfortable in your ear after several hours. I dont know if its me an my ears - or if I just need to "get used to it" a bit more... maybe. But the in-ear thing can make you want to pull it out after awhile. If thats bothersome to you - then you might want to stick with an over the ear.
Bottom line - its a great headset. Through in the carrying case (that doubles as a charger!) and you have a winning combination. Good job Plantronics!

User: Frankie C, Sep 15, 2009
|I loved the 925 but this one is even better! If you are worried about the device falling out of your ear, then dont, because the ear gels not only stay snug, but they have a grip to them that makes them stick to the skin. The unit is also very load and the sound quality is very very good. Overall I am very satisfied with no complaints!
|Nice Headset
User: Bill J, Oct 14, 2009
|Ive had a lot of blue tooths before this one and I must say Im finally HAPPY with one. This thing sounds great, fits snug but doesnt even feel like anything is in your ear, VERY Comfy! Callers say i sound crystal clear even with my car windows open at 65mph. Love the charging case feature which gives you a lot more power on the go. This little puppy is a great addition to any cell phone, My BB Tour LOVES it and So do I !
|Questionable old Compatibility
User: Mike T, Sep 27, 2009
Fantastic Bluetooth for comfort. I usually have problems getting a Bluetooth to fit and be comfortable in my ear. This is the first one that was comfortable and could be kept in my ear for hours at a time without any discomfort.
However, the unit worked great some of the time and at other times the person on the other end said that they got their voice echoed. This happened on numerous occasions and no setting on my phone would aleviate the problem. But I could never isolate the problem as the sound on any particular phone call was either perfect or completely distorted.
I really dont know if it is a Bold compatibility problem or a Plantronics problem but unfortunately I had to return the unit.
Too bad because when it worked properly the Plantronics 975 was the best Bluetooth I ever used. And Plantronics tech support couldnt help!

We were 6 people who lived in the apartment and all had major problems with noise from the roads around. It was not air conditioned and very hot inside. The distance to the center was a little long. It was not pleasant in the living room. I would not stay here again.
Paulo was very friendly and gave us useful information . The apartment was clean and well located . It was a great stay in Lisbon . We would always like to go back to this apartment again . Price performance was fine
Beautiful appartment with a REAL splendid view. comfortable, quiet, and very well located for exploring Lisbon. The welcome was friendly, it's perfect. I am very satisfied, Franck.
Everything was fine and Paul was very friendly. Recommend it absolutely!
Great city. Good location near Metro. Very spacious apartment. Good communication with host during our stay.
No central heat in the apartment made our stay in Marts a little cold at night.
The kitchen could do with a little upgrade including some wine glasses.
Really nice apartment, well equipped, wi-fi, lots of room, clean, modern and comfortable. Less than 10 euros by taxi from airport, metro stop just outside but walking distance to lots of attractions. Great info from hosts on getting around, maps, brochures, best metro tickets, places to see. Excellent value for money.
We have had a wonderful stay at Albertino's apartment. The apartment is well equipped (even beach towels), clean, comfortable and all necessities such as a supermarket, restaurants, trainstation to Lisboa and Cascais are close by. Albertino is a very nice and dedicated host. We would surely recommend this apartment.
The appartment was perfect, and the 9 of us found it spacious, well equipped and well located.
Our host has been nothing but agreeable, he advised us on where to go in Lisbon during our stay and has always adapted to our needs (beddings, hours to meet at the arrival and the departure...)
We would trust Albertino anytime for another rental.
Wonderful days in Lisbon. The apartment was very good and excellent prepared.

Minors in jail, laws keep them away adults
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - 17-year-old Macyo January is just one example of how minors can face adult charges for serious crimes, but must be kept away from adults during their detention.
January is facing charges for the murder of Fort Carson soldier David Dunlap and his wife, Whitney. He will be facing charges as an adult for the murders, but a judge declared that he will remain in the Spring Creek Youth Facility, for now. January could be moved to the adult jail at a later time.
As it turns out, if January were moved to the Criminal Justice Center, not much would be different.
Officials with the El Paso County Sheriff's office said they have 8 beds available for minors between the ages of 14 and 17 who are facing adult charges. However any detainee that is a minor must be kept away from adults while in jail.
"We have to take special precautions, special care, to ensure that when they are removed from their housing area that they are not escorted with adults, that they are not interacting with the adults in the facility," said Undersheriff Paula Presley.
Even if the minors are taken to the clinic for health reasons, adult inmates cannot be around.
Presley said there is at least one minor facing adult charges in the jail at any given time.
January will be in court later this week, and at that time a judge could decide to transfer him.
Once a detainee turns 18-year-old they can be housed with the general adult population.

Abler-Minded: Dimensions
I assumed my last column prior to Christmas was going to be slam-dunk easy to write. I had even started composing my tongue-in-cheek letter to Santa over the past week.
That idea quickly disappeared last Friday morning when I heard the news about the killings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
I think this actually hit me much deeper than the assassination of President Kennedy — although as a high school senior I don't believe I was mature enough to understand its full impact. And while the horrendous loss of life at the World Trade Center was exponentially larger, it was perpetrated by foreign religious radicals with far different motivation. The massacre of 6- and 7-year-old children was done by one of us for no reason.
Those children still had their innocence. The other children who attended that school have likely lost most of whatever innocence they had, too. Our country lost another increment of what little we as a nation had left.
In those first few hours after the "breaking news" explosion on virtually every station there was a constant stream of information, misinformation, conjecture and pure babble about the events. After that, and to the writing of this column, the experts and the talking heads have minutely dissected the psyche of the shooter, bemoaned the dissolution of society, ranted about the "gun" culture and so many other tenuously related subjects.
This tragic event did not happen in isolation. It is not the first of its kind — except perhaps in regard to the age of most of the people being targeted and killed. Nor, unfortunately, will it be the last until we — as a country and world — decide there's a better way.
The world, the nations, our own country, culture and society are all intertwined. We live in a system of systems that interact and are interdependent. But our news is in sound bites, so most of us think in the same one-dimensional manner. We are educated to think and analyze in single dimensions.
Our government tends to act in one-dimensional ways. And, of course, we have those who use these tragedies to advance their one-dimensional political agendas.
One-dimensional thinking and programs can never and will never solve multi-dimensional problems.
For a multitude of reasons, our culture accepts violence as a solution to our problems. The westerns of my youth where the hero always shot the gun out of the bad guys' hands gave way to the spaghetti westerns of my adolescence where the body count increased with nearly every film. And now, the films are almost unwatchable, and when our children aren't watching them, they can be piling up the dead in any number of video games played online with their friends and getting positive reinforcement for "head shots."
While this was all going on, we as a society and culture eroded the concept of the traditional family, believing that one man or one woman could raise children who were as well-adjusted as those who came from that traditional family. Then we extended that to domestic partnerships and "live-ins." And now it's two men or two women and we are well on our way to whoever happens to be around in whatever numbers and sexual identities will be just fine.
At the same time, we let lawyers and government destroy the parental authority over morality. We give away condoms under the guise of "safe sex" and don't perceive that as facilitating and condoning sex with anyone/anytime you feel like it.
Of course, the example of many adults isn't really much better. We really don't understand that freedom and responsibility are inexorably tied together. When they are treated as mutually exclusive, we do get what we have today.
We now connect with iPhones, iPads, Smart Phones and other social media and the result is we actually disconnect from each other. We are all in danger of becoming strangers in the crowd. People who are well-founded and well-connected personally and socially do not get guns and kill others at random and in large numbers. And we have yet to fully explore and understand how mental illness may play into these tragedies.
In case I haven't made the point clear enough, the true dimensions of our problems are almost unfathomable and are often the result of many years of "progressive" thinking and programs. To reverse directions is virtually impossible, but we're guaranteed to fail if we don't try.
If there is any one-dimensional answer to achieving peace among all of us, it is to be found in understanding the birth of Christ, which we celebrate next week. Peace and love are in every one of our hearts; and there is some degree of evil in every one of our hearts, too.
It's the choices we make that count. The death of these innocents was not in God's plan. It was the evil choices of a young man who used his God-given freedom for evil.
If we can get away from this "Happy Holidays" farce and back to "Peace on earth to men of good will," in the spirit of Judeo-Christian morality personified in Christ, we just might be able to slowly turn things around.
And on Christmas morning, as your children or grandchildren open their gifts, please say a prayer for those families who will never share that privilege again with those they have lost.
Well, that's what's been on my mind.


text: I got 2 hives today and now have them in place. What a rush. Gotta admit I was a little nervous but I smoked them and opened them up to take a peek. My wife got stung when 1 got in her hair and she wasn't very pleased but I came away unscathed. They are Minnesota Hygenic's and was wondering what everybody thought of them. Didn't really dig the frames out just peeked down there to see pretty good comb and quite a few bees in a cluster. A friend had just made a split and sold me 2 hives. I think I might like this. Wish me luck.


text:
At a garage sale yesterday (which my wife found and actually told me about) I bought what was basically the equipment for a little more than three hives, supers and all and some other stuff like two beesuits, two smokers, two veils and various other things. Got a good deal, even though I did not have anything exactly budgeted for
I have always used wax foundation. Some of the frames have new, undrawn plastic foundation in them. I don't know the brand, but the outlines of the cells appear to be part of the plastic with wax coating. I have read that it is best to add more beeswax before introducing the bees to the frames. Anybody have a technique for applying the beeswax that they would like to share?
Second, some of the frames are deeps that were drawn out on plastic. However, wax moths have gone crazy on them and they are a mess. Is it correct that I can just scrape that off and let the bees draw it again? Should I try to leave some of the drawn parts that have not been chewed up by the wax moth larvae or clean it all the way off?

Upon Arrival we have been changed to another appartment, but with the same facilities and also close to the city centre. I was big enough and clean with all the facilities we need. The location was great and we didn't have any Problems.
Me and my family spent one week in this apartment and we had a great time there. It is very well located, with stores nearby where you can get everything you need in case you don´t want to spend so much money eating outside. The rooms are big and confortable and the people who manage the apartments always willing to help or provide anything you need. We will never forget our stay there. Thanks very much!! María
Highly recommended. It's agency with many apartments, very professional and resourceful. Upon arrival we were informed that our apartment had been damaged and were moved to a larger one. Change without paying more. Upon arrival we saw that the TV did not have USB and changed us for another very fast. I recommend it without any doubt, very friendly and professional. They have in the office with a person who speaks Spanish, not met but is very useful.
Apartment very well located a few blocks from Plaza the historical center, quiet street so you can sleep well.
It has enough amenities to make any breakfast or dinner on days that have made some Excursion do not leave apatece restaurant. It also has Placha, TV, WiFi and a small kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, cutlery dishes, etc ..
The bed is comfortable and spacious, the bathroom recently renovated has ducha.secador hair, towels.
Overall compared to other options in the environment I think it is a combination; quality, location and excellent price.
Apartamento muy bien situado a un par de calles de la plaza del centro historico, calle tranquila por lo que se puede descansar bien.
Cuenta con las suficientes comodidades para poder desayunar o realizar alguna cena en dias que por haber realizado alguna escursión no te apatece salir de restaurante. Tambien dispone de placha, TV, wifi y una pequeña cocina con nevera, microondas, platos cubiertos, etc..
La cama es cómoda y espaciosa, el cuarto de baño reformado recientemente dispone de ducha.secador de pelo, toallas.
En general comparando con otras opciones del entorno me parece que tiene una combinación; calidad, situación y precio excelente.
The appartameto is located in the main street of the center, is very large and we found it clean so far so good, the problem is that they forgot to say that we must do without acsensore 4 floors and 2 luggage, a controls, a passseggino and 3 children 2 to 5 years c''è been some problems, the matrimoniane bed in the loft is laid directly on the wooden floor and assure that the mattress springs create some problems, the sofa in addition to a few holes and is the less, has several spots of dirt and meleodorante.
L'appartameto si trova nella via principale del centro, è molto ampio e l'abbiamo trovato pulito fin qui tutto bene,il problema è che si sono dimenticati di dire che bisogna fare 4 piani senza acsensore e con 2 bagagli,un trolli,un passseggino e 3 figli da 2 a 5 anni qualche problema c''è stato,il letto matrimoniane nel soppalco è posato direttamente sul pavimento in legno e assicuro che le molle del materasso qualche problema lo creano,il divano oltre a qualche buco ed è il meno,ha parecchie macchie di sporcizia ed è meleodorante.
The actually rented apartment was not obtainable due to an accident. Uncomplicated was a similar apartment in the city center (Florianska) offered. There, the nights are of course very noisy as it is located almost at the party mile. All in all, everything went well, eventful days in a wonderful city.
Die eigentlich angemietete Wohnung war leider aufgrund einer Havarie nicht beziehbar. Unkompliziert wurde eine vergleichbare Wohnung im Stadtzentrum (Florianska) angeboten. Dort sind die Nächte natürlich sehr laut, da man sich quasi auf der Partymeile befindet. Alles in allem hat alles gut geklappt, erlebnisreiche Tage in einer wunderbaren Stadt.
The appartment is located in a very good place because
Is into the old city and near the old square. The problem
With this appartment is the four large floors that we must
Climbed by foot with our bagages and the kitchen has no
Windows and there aré no living room.
We enjoyed our stay in cracow very much!! Th city ia really great and tanks to the apartement we could really enjoy it. The place was perfect for five people. Very big bathroom and it`s location is perfect. It is next to the big market place where all the sightseeing must sees are located! So we can really recommand this apartment!
A major deficiency was that we did not get the apartment we have booked over the Internet.
The replacement unit was indeed located sufficiently large and central.
Unfortunately, over a beer house where until well after noon eight loud live music was made so that only could sleep, who had the day completely exhausted.
Ein großer Mangel war, dass wir nicht die Wohnung bekommen haben, die wir über das Internet gebucht haben.
Die Ersatz -Wohnung war zwar ausreichend groß und zentral gelegen.
Leider gegenüber einem Bierhaus, wo bis weit nach mittagnacht laut Life Musik gemacht wurde, so dass nur schlafen könnte, wer sich tagsüber völlig verausgabt hatte.

... what is Folklife? The easiest way to explain is to take the word apart. Folk = People. Life = Music, at least for the folks involved in Folklife. The Humboldt Folklife Society is a group of dedicated volunteers who love music, mostly folk music, but certainly not exclusively...

I think I'm gonna reroute my trip!
I think I'm gonna reroute my trip!
That was a great song... Yes Im older than old enough...I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife!
I have simple theory. It's not worth buying, using, cleaning anything less that the largest extractor I can fit in my door... My first, and so far only extractor, is a 9/18 (9 deeps and 18 mediums) motorized, radial. I can extract more than two of my 8 frame supers in one shot. I have used (but not bought) a two frame non reversible tangential extractor, and I would never buy one. Way too much work and time. You have to uncap, put the frames in, spin 1/4 of the honey (half of that side) out and then flip them, then spin all the honey from the other side, then flip them then spin all the honey out of the first side... and now you have extracted only two frames...
I just did crush and strain for 26 years and then bought a motorized 9/18...
But here is my answer:
up to 4 hives crush and strain
up to 8 hives crush and strain
up to 18 hives marginal, but I'd crush and strain unless you have the excess cash available.
18 frame for up to 400 hives.

Or join a local beekeeping club that offers free or nominal charge extractor rental/borrowing.

I think the need for a motorized extractor for beginners is they find out the fun doesn't last too long when you are cranking. I don't see the sense in buying a tangential extractor. If you are going to buy or build one make it radial and spin the frames once. The simplest thing you can do it make a frame, wood or metal with at least a 1/2 metal rod between two frames and spin it with a hand drill in a barrel.
Obviously, crush and strain is the cheapest way to go but when you first start out you are trying to build up drawn comb so that is a conflict. Storing equipment can be a challenge, I agree.

I used a 9 med frame Italian 3 deep extractor until I got past 144 colonies. Then I found a really good deal on (2) 32 frame dadants and run that on 400 colonies now. I disagree with Mike. You need more than 1 18 frame extractor for 400, less you go back to how hard do you want to work as Ron pointed out, or in this case how long do you want to extract honey for during the winter months?
If I ever get past 20 hives again I will consider an radial extractor only. Tangentials are not worth the money or grief. Until then crush and strain will be just fine.
Where are we and what's with this hand basket?

You can't truly speak for all hobbyist to list their hobby time as zero dollars. I know lots of hobby golfers and anglers who like to see paycheck for their invested time. However I understand hobbyist probably do not put a dollar figure on every hour invested.
Still how much does it cost to do crush and strain?
I can tell you it costs approx 7-8 lbs of honey per lbs of wax. So here is some basic math for someone who has 10 colonies as a hobbyist (which is probably hobby selling their honey). Lets say they render 2 lbs of wax per colony per year. Thats 160 lbs worth of honey to sell at well I charge $5.50 per lbs. That would be say $720.00 of valued honey when you consider the cost of labeling and bottling said honey.
How much does a small used extractor cost, along with the time and aggrevation of crushing and straining? You could be making wine or beer instead of crushing and straining!
>Still how much does it cost to do crush and strain?
I can tell you it costs approx 7-8 lbs of honey per lbs of wax.
It's not very many pounds of wax and the figures on converting honey to wax are irrelevant. Drawn comb makes more honey because there is room to store the honey. They draw comb pretty quickly in a strong flow and will amaze you.
>How much does a small used extractor cost, along with the time and aggrevation of crushing and straining?
I can crush and strain faster than I can extract. It's a lot less time and less work and no messier. I only extract so I can have drawn comb.

For me mixing vocation with avocation is a strange thing. I have been a professional photographer for over 4 decades on either a part time or full time basis. Years ago when it was more of a glorified hobby I felt completely justified spending ludicrous amounts of money on a lens just because I thought it was neat and had income from another job to support the whole thing. Now I look at any photographic purchase through different eyes. "How many 8x10's am I going to have to sell to pay for this thing" or "Are my clients going to care about what I can do with a fisheye lens or just think it's weird" or "Do I need this piece of equipment to better provide with I think a client deserves from me"
Beekeeping is a hobby and I have no intention of trying to make a living at it. If a person wants an extractor or any other processing equipment just because it's cool to have all that shiny stainless stuff then go for it. As long as it's not at the expense of life's necessities (including marital harmony) then have at it. The truth is if I ever buy another processing set up it will be because I want it…not because I need it.
Where are we and what's with this hand basket?
As far as crush and strain being as fast as extracting I think that depends on how much extracting needs to be done. I for example can extract 4 (55 gallon) drums a day with my meager setup, which includes 2 other people helping me and we work consistentantly for 10 hours that day. Thats 30 man hours of labor spent extracting. Can you crush and strain 4 (55 gallon) drums of honey in 30 man hours?
Take into consideration of actually putting in drums, storing drums and empty supers. Maybe it can be done but I dont think its remotely reasonable way to extract honey. It would be better to just eat cut comb or sell cut comb than to crush and strain.
An 18 frame extractor for 400 hives? Do the math. How long would it take to extract 40,000 lbs of honey(100 lb average)? Oh, my stomach hurts......
Crazy Roland
It depends on whether you had two so one could spin while one was loaded. I came up with over 9 weeks, one shift for one and around 5 weeks for the dual set up. Going smaller and using the equipment for a longer period of time is better utilization of your capital investment. I understand that if you are paying somebody to do the task you what it done with the least amount of labor but if you are not paying somebody then capital investment takes front seat.

Small Business Enterprises and Nonprofit Corporations Clinic provides practical experience, assists area business owners
DETROIT (Aug. 16, 2011) – Practical experience is an increasingly important component to a high quality, comprehensive legal education. In Metropolitan Detroit, where small businesses play a vital role in economic development and community revitalization, the impact of such practical experience can extend far beyond the classroom.
|Eric C. Williams
Wayne State University Law School's Small Business Enterprises and Nonprofit Corporations Clinic seamlessly connects students and the community in an effort to address the needs of both groups. Through the clinic, Wayne Law students represent for-profit enterprises and nonprofit organizations requiring general business start-up assistance.
"The clinic is at its heart a community economic development clinic," said Eric C. Williams, assistant clinical professor and director of the clinic. "Our goal is to rebuild and stabilize communities in Metro Detroit by helping local entrepreneurs create new businesses and the jobs that come with them. In particular, the clinic seeks to engage the 'atypical' entrepreneur – those residing in under-resourced or economically challenged communities, or individuals making their first exploration of business ownership."
The clinic, working in conjunction with the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights, operates like a small law firm: students draft engagement letters, bill time, run conflicts checks and conduct client interviews under faculty guidance and supervision. Students gain hands-on experience advising clients on business structure, zoning, licensing requirements, intellectual property and other legal issues; preparing articles of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreements and business contracts; researching trademarks and preparing trademark applications; preparing applications for tax exempt status; and representing clients in the application process with the Internal Revenue Service.
In addition to providing free legal services, clinic students also help prepare and conduct client workshops on critical legal issues and provide referrals to partner agencies that supply essential services, including mentoring, business planning and investment funding.
Through the clinic, Wayne Law students have assisted a group starting an urban farm, a chocolate company, a crafting company, a film production company, a homeless advocacy group, a prisoner rehabilitation program, an athletic program for children with autism, a summer camp for Detroit youth, a water filtration company, a company focused on teaching parenting skills, an athletic wear company, a group focused on assisting young women, a group focused on assisting young men, a group-purchasing website (similar to Groupon), and even a Wayne Law student group organizing to provide assistance to Detroit-area nonprofits.
"I've spoken to a number of past clinic students who described the clinic as their most memorable law school experience," Williams said. "I think it's easy to understand that perspective when you consider not only the skills the students developed, but the real people they met and helped along the way."
As Williams, who joined the Wayne Law faculty this summer, and participating students gear up for another year, he looks forward to connecting with and assisting area businesses and organizations.
"We are always looking for additional businesses and nonprofits to work with our students," Williams said. "This area has so much potential and we look forward to playing a role in helping our clients and community succeed."
If you have a small business and need legal assistance, or if you're starting a business or a nonprofit, contact Tania Allen, clinic coordinator, at email@example.com or 313-577-8859. Clinic services are free.

text: They say that the best way to get to know a city is to drink up the local experiences and feast your eyes on the sights. Actually, I'm not sure anyone has said that, but based on Local Montreal's tours, people really should start. Local Montreal offers informal walking tours that focus on Montreal's distinct culture, history and gastronomy. They provide a much needed, authentic, non touristy glimpse into the heart of the city. We teamed up with Local Montreal for their Brewpub Experience tour where we strolled around the plateau, sampled some artisanal beers and became acquainted with some of the city's best kept secrets.
