If you are interested in a career in the legal field, check out
becoming a paralegal. The paralegal acts as the attorney's right hand, performing legal research, interviewing clients, preparing legal documents and analyzing evidence.
What do paralegals make?
How much you will make as a paralegal depends on several factors. The Bureau of Labor Statistics collects data on the labor market and publishes the Occupational Outlook Handbook every two years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage of paralegals and legal assistants in May 2010 in was $46,680. The Occupational Outlook handbook also states, "As employers try to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of legal services, they are expected to hire more paralegals and legal assistants. Following the cutbacks experienced during the recent recession, some law firms are rebuilding their support staff by hiring paralegals. Paralegals can be a less costly alternative to lawyers and perform a wider variety of duties, including tasks once done by lawyers. This will cause an increase in demand for paralegals and legal assistants."
Where do you work?
About 70 percent of all paralegals work for private law firms according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The size of the law firm will affect how much you get paid. As you can guess, large law firms typically pay more than smaller law firms. Paralegals are also employed by corporate legal departments, courts, government agencies, health care industry, and financial institutions.
As a paralegal, you can work in many different legal settings including the courts, government agencies, health care industry, financial institutions, corporations, and of course, law firms. About 70 percent of all paralegals work for private law firms according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Salaries can vary depending on your employer and your job responsibilities. The size of the law firm will affect how much you get paid. As you can guess, large law firms typically pay more than smaller law firms.
You can choose from many areas of law in the legal field. Litigation, mediation, criminal law, family law, real estate, bankruptcy, immigration, copyrights or trademarks, corporate law, wills and probate, patents, or administrative law are just some of the many choices available to you.
Geography also affects paralegal salaries. Paralegals who are employed in larger cities or larger states typically have higher salaries than those that are employed in less populated areas. Check with your state or local paralegal association for salary information for your local salary information.
Whichever career path you choose, you'll have the opportunity to apply paralegal skills in many arenas in the legal field. The Bureau of Labor statistics expects that employment of paralegals and legal assistants to grow by 18 percent from 2010 to 2020, about as fast as the average for all occupations and experienced, formally trained paralegals should have the best job prospects.

Wow, I've done 19 of these? Cool.
I got an email question from a reader earlier today, and I realized that his question would make a great "What's wrong with this code" question.
He has a C++ function "GetValue" that is used to retrieve a value from something (it doesn't actually matter what). His function is intended to be called from OLE automation, so it has three versions, one which takes a VARIANT, one which takes an integer index, one which takes a BSTR key. If the input VARIANT is an integer, it assumes that it's an index, if the input VARIANT is a string, it assumes that it's a key.
Here's the version of the code as provided by the reader:
HRESULT GetValue(VARIANT Index, VARIANT& Value)
// Try Index as offset
HRESULT hr = VariantChangeType(&Index, &Index, 0, VT_I4);
return GetValue(Index.lVal, Value);
// Try Index as key
hr = VariantChangeType(&Index, &Index, 0, VT_BSTR);
return GetValue(Index.bstrVal, Value);
// Bad Index
return E_INVALIDARG;
His idea was that the function would be called like this:
void SomeFunction()
CComVariant Value;
GetValue(CComVariant(_T("1")), Value);
Unfortunately, this doesn't quite work :(. Why not?
As always Kudos and comments tomorrow.
Edit: I can't count 🙂

My 5 year old just adores Hello Kitty and had to have a HK backpack, clothes and these shoes to match for her Kindergarten debute. However she has only been in school 8 weeks and these shoes are falling apart. You can see in the picture included that the stitching on the top came apart and that the rubber soul of the shoe is already pulling away. The rest of the stitching around the shoe is highly frade as well. (the other shoe is just as bad) She is not overly hard on her shoes or clothes either. All her other shoes in the past were still funtional when she out grew them. I am very disappointed in these!! They are very cute shoes but not at all good quality, buyer beware!!
Like so many of the other reviews...I too, purchased these for my daughter for school! I bought them in August, but specifically for school...she didn't even start wearing them until the 2nd day of school!
At least a month ago (so about 4 weeks into the school year#, the seams started to fray, the bottoms became unattached #I had to use shoe glue to put them back together)! I've always found Wal-Mart to have decent quality/decent priced kids clothing and shoes...but these shoes are a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
I'm just hoping that they hold together until Christmas! Now we'll be adding new tennis shoes to my daughters wish list, as we cannot afford to replace them at this time!!! This is a very bad product!!!
My daughter has had these shoes for a month and they are falling apart. She wears them only for school and by the end of the first week the stitching was coming undone. Now it has been a month and the rubber sole by the toes is flapping and the stitching at the toe area has completely come undone so now there is a little toe peek hole. They look like they are a yr old pair of play shoes. Very poor quality.
Just like the other poor reviews, my daughter has been wearing these shoes only since school started, and the shoes are barely wearable. I bought them a little big, and they are still pulling apart at the toes, as if they were being pushed through from the inside, even though her toes aren't even touching it!
I know that these are a cheaper shoe, but I still think an item should last longer than 2 months. My daughter has never worn through a pair of shoes like this, even in the summer when she plays outside all the time. This is a quality issue.
My daughter loves these shoes and they are holding up weel. The design is very fashionable and you can;y beat the price anywhere.
My 7 yr old loves Hello Kitty and she's worn these shoes to school for two weeks. The stitching is unraveling and the shoes look like she's had them for six months. Next time I'll go to Payless.
These shoes look great. My daughter absolutely loved them for the first week. Then they fell apart! She only wore them to school and took them off as soon as she got home to put on her play shoes. I try to work within a budget to provide for my family, but when I have to buy new shoes a week after getting these that is RIDICULOUS!
After a few wears. There are a few strings that have frayed on the shoe. But I have cut them off.
I bought these shoes for my granddaughter in late feb. , was not aware they were falling apart until my granddaughter visited for her birthday in april. she said look at my shoes grandma and the whole front of the sole was unglued. and she said they'd been like that for a month. so that's means they had started falling apart after a month, and she only wore them to school. I hand it to walmart though because I returned them and was able to exchange them for another pair of shoes, and I made sure they weren't the same shoes. this granddaughter is 9. however I also purchased at the same time, the same shoe for my younger 4 yr old granddaughter and her shoes are still holding up well, and the smaller sizes seemed to be a little better made.
My 7 year old needed a quick extra pair of sneakers, likes Hello kitty, and since summers coming, she grows like a weed and already has her good ones, I bought these figuring we would get some time out of them. Upon putting them on the first time- the lining along the bottom of the shoe is half unstuck and free moving from the base, while the other half is glued on crooked with bumps. The quality is quite poor, even for an inexpensive shoe. I would not recommend. As they are a cheap shoe, we did just pull the liner out and fix it ourselves just to let her keep them for play.
Awful!! I have never had shoes for myself or my kids that fall apart as quickly as these! The very first day she wore them, they began to string. It just got worse and I saw today (after having them a month and a half - two at the very most) that they wree practically falling apart around her feet! Very poorly made!
cute & comfortable. my 2nd grader loves them. She is not usually a sneaker-girl but purchased for PE & she is happy to wear them. sparkly & comfortable for all day. hello kitty sort of blends in so character is subtle which makes me happy - I am not a big fan of character logo items. great value for price.
I can't comment on durability yet, but they seem to be made well enough and they are cute. I looked for a long time for inexpensive, cute girl shoes that both my daughter and I like and these fit the bill. I do think they run a little on the small size as we had to size up one size.
I was so excited at the value for these sneakers. I am hoping that they are durable. My granddaughter is in the 1st. Grade. She does a lot of running on the playground. I am going to order another pair. the color is beautiful Just enough sparkles. Lots of support for her feet.
Shoes were somewhat poorly made the "hello kitty" writing on the inside of one shoe was already peeling out when taken out of box. Overall the shoes are cute and my six year old niece want know the difference but they were just poorly made.
I bought these shoes for my daughter. She loves them and wears them everyday and also at a reasonable price.
The seam across the toes has opened. My daughter has had these shoes less than 30 days. Very disappointed :(
These run too small. They were smaller then the size lower, that she had.
My daughter LOVES Hello Kitty...so these shoes were a must have!
What a waste of 11 bucks....don't bother.

Considering the price, the telescope is probably worth the amount paid. The two main problems I had with it was the piece that the tray for the eyepieces screwed onto and the adjustment knob that is loosened and tightened for turning the scope from side to side. The second time that I spread the legs on the scope the tray holder broke. It is thin plastic. About 20 minutes later I loosened the knob to turn the scope a little to the right. I turned the scope and turned the knob to tighten the setting and the knob just stripped the threads in the holder which is cast aluminum.
I guess with 'kid-glove' treatment the scope would be ok. I did not abuse it, just used it as a person would any other scope. I don't know if I just got a faulty one or if these are flaws in the design. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone; although I do like most of Vivitar's products.
I returned the scope to the store where I bought and was refunded my money. I only used the scope twice and had it for about a week.
this is a reflecting telescope- that means it uses a couple of mirrors. It isn't supposed to have a lens at the front.
Other than that, this is an average low/middle end telescope. The scope might be OK, but as usual with department store scopes, the accessories included is pretty useless. You probably dont want to go over 150x magnification with a scope this size. If you stick with the 8mm eyepiece, you should get OK images of the moon and some planets.
I purchased the Vivitar Reflector Telescope and when I put it together, it came with no front lens. There was a cap over where the lens should also be but the cap did not pull or screw off. After battling with Vivitar's Customer service for about 4 days they are finally going to send me a replacement telescope. Walmart was great as to picking up the item from the store but I got shipped a telescope that someone did not put together correctly

Published: 26th Oct 2012
Liberal Democrat councillor Alison Brelsford has called on local residents to get in touch with their broadband complaints as part of a new report being launched into internet provision in the area.
She raised the issue of poor access at the last council meeting and expressed her pleasure that an official report into the problem is now being planned.
"Liberal Democrat councillors have led the charge over this issue and I hope that our hard work will now see direct improvement for residents across the north of Sheffield," Ms Brelsford told the Postcode Gazette.
However, she stressed the importance of people getting in touch in order to bolster the case for a boost to the area's broadband services.
One solution for people in rural areas looking for internet access could be to try Tooway 8 satellite broadband, which is well-suited to more isolated homes.
A recent report from Nottingham County Council indicated that children's education could be held back by a lack of broadband access.

While the TUC signals a threat of unrest over low pay and falling wages at this week's TUC annual congress and politicians wring their hands over the living wage, zero-hours contracts continue to hit the headlines. The exploitative use of zero-hours jobs that offer little or no guarantee of work and pay for as many as 5.5 million people is the latest in a long spate of shocking workplace revelations, ramming home the underpayment and casualisation of work in 21st-century Britain. Suddenly, politicians are vying for solutions to the longest fall in earnings since the 1870s and a workforce denied basic securities.
But make no mistake, these are not just private sector problems, to be found in low-paid, low-skilled sectors such as retail, cleaning and catering. These employment practices have wormed their way into public service jobs, along with tumbling earnings, poverty pay and rising inequality.
Indeed, the public sector is facing significant additional threats of its own, exacerbated by the coaliton's "austerity" spending cuts, which are as high as 50% in some local authorities. Since 2010, almost 500,000 council jobs have been lost, creating unmanageable workloads and endemic stress for employees. Consultation over the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations (Tupe), which protect employees' terms and conditions of employment when a business is transferred from one owner to another, and the already enfeebled Public Sector Equality Duty are also under way, disguised as measures to cut red tape.
Agency workers and zero-hours working have casualised areas of public sector employment that once set standards for the entire labour market. They are commonplace on contracts that councils or the NHS has outsourced to the private sector. Meanwhile, sector-wide bargaining arrangements and collective agreements are being weakened by constant local pressure from employers to reduce key conditions, from sick pay to car allowances, redundancy pay and unsocial hours payments, while still maintaining pay "discipline" through centralised bargaining arrangements.
The finger can be pointed at privatisation for the pay and conditions facing many workers with outsourced contracts. The coalition's abolition of the two-tier code of practice, which was designed to ensure equivalent earnings to new starters working for external providers, means that the national minimum wage, worse conditions and no pension has become the "norm" for a new generation of public service workers. A recent decision in the European court of justice – to be challenged by the union, Unison – means public sector pay awards might not continue to be applied to transferred, privatised workers.
The coalition's pay freeze in 2011-12 and 2012-13, coupled with the current below-inflation 1% limit, have hit public sector workers. Women make up 65% of the overall public sector workforce with more than 75% in local government and health, a gender balance not reflected among local councillors or council chief executives. So poverty pay is very much a public sector and a women's issue too.
Council employers imposed a pay freeze a year before the government, so earnings have fallen by more than 18% in the last four years; in effect rubbing salt into the open wound created by below-inflation rises in eight of the last 16 years – yes, even in the "good" times. Add to that the denial to council workers of the £250 promised by the chancellor to those earning below £21,000, and you have significant inequality within the public sector. Indeed, a shocking half a million local government employees are paid below the living wage, with a bottom rate of pay exactly £1 an hour below the £7.45 threshold outside London. Only a small number working in the NHS and in higher and further education are paid so badly.
Unison, GMB and Unite unions are jointly campaigning for local government employees to be paid the living wage. But the need for action goes far beyond this. There must be equal rewards for all public service workers, and a return to the notion of quality jobs with fair pay and conditions. This is the key to economic growth, decent job prospects for local people, equal opportunity and a growing local skill base. The living wage for all must be the first step in that direction.
• Heather Wakefield is head of the local service group at Unison

Entry requirements
The normal entry requirement for the MSc in Mathematics is the equivalent of a British first or good upper second class honours degree in mathematics, or in mathematics with another subject, such as statistics, philosophy, physics or computing. In addition, the undergraduate modules you have taken must provide sufficient background to enable you to take an appropriate selection of our MSc modules.
Pure Mathematics; Algebra; Algebra and Combinatorics; Mathematics and Statistics; Astronomy and Dymanical Systems
Months of entry
Course content
The MSc in Mathematics gives an in-depth training in advanced mathematics to students who have
already obtained a first degree with substantial mathematical content. Students successfully completing the MSc will acquire specialist knowledge in their chosen areas of mathematics, and the MSc is an excellent preparation for those who are considering pursuing research in mathematics.
The main areas of mathematics that may be pursued within this MSc are pure mathematics (especially algebra and combinatorics), dynamical systems, probability and statistics, and astronomy. The MSc programme is very flexible, and in consultation with your adviser you may choose modules in different areas or specialise in one.
Programme outline
You will normally take eight modules in total, with one module typically comprising 24 hours of lectures and 12 hours of tutorials given during a twelve-week semester. In addition to the MSc modules offered at Queen Mary, you can also choose from an extremely wide range of advanced mathematics modules offered at other Colleges of the University of London. During the summer period, supervised by an academic member of staff, you are required to complete a dissertation, working largely independently in an advanced topic in mathematics or statistics.
For details of modules typically offered, see here.
Fees and funding
We expect to be able to offer a £1000 scholarship to each MSc applicant who achieves the equivalent of a British first-class honours degree in mathematics and has no official source of funding. Early application to the MSc is advised to secure a scholarship offer. No additional forms are necessary.

See the best of the filtered and tinted uploads from this week. Stella McCartneyThis actually looks quite warm. "Our Winter '12 Milly dress. #details" is the caption under Stella McCartney's shot of a multi-fabric, Space Age-looking dress. Refinery 29She pulls off biking in a miniskirt like no one else. "Sex on wheels! Model Hilary Rhoda spinning her wheels for an upcoming story," reads the caption under Refinery 29's behind-the-scenes glimpse into a photo shoot. On her own Instagram, Rhoda wrote, "Photo shoot fresh! Spent the morning with @refinery29 J" Marc Jacobs IntlTotting one of Marc Jacobs' signature bags paired with funky Converse, the brand posted this pic of a stylish Parisian strolling the windy streets of the Marais with the hashtags "#prettyinparis #marcbymarcjacobs #accessories." Victoria's SecretThis Victoria's Secret picture of Angel Erin Heatherton posing behind a ribbon at the Quebec store's grand opening prompted pleas from commenters. "We want a VS in PARIS!!" one wrote and others begged for the store to make its way to Brazil and Japan. Adam ShankmanYour closet doesn't look like this? So You Think You Can Dance? judge Adam Shankman put up a shot of his exorbitantly filled shoe closet. "Ok. Fine. I have a problem," he admitted in the caption. Geri HirschThis might not be exactly what the saying's creators meant, but fashion blogger Geri Hirsch gave new meaning to "it takes a village" when she captioned this Instagram of a photo shoot with the line. Candice SwanepoelThis famous Victoria's Secret face uploaded a picture of her exotic-looking self decked out in a woven bikini during a photo shoot with Elle Brazil. The South African beauty recently ran into some controversy—her new ads for shoe designer Brian Atwood were taken down from a Madison Avenue building and off taxi TVs for being too risqué. Aimee SongStyle blogger Aimee Song couldn't resist showing off a little of her own look. "Wearing these adorable @goldhawk_ lingerie shorts during the day," she writes in the caption. Fans had mixed reviews about the unusual sweater/lingerie pairing, some wrote that they thought it was a little weird, while others swore to try it out themselves. Poppy DelevingneCan we come? Model and runway show regular Poppy Delevingne relaxed on an ancient stairway during a trip to Italy. "Stairway to heaven & a Rachel Roy jumpsuit #ciaoitalia," she wrote in a caption below the pic. Neiman MarcusLookin' fierce. Neiman Marcus put up a picture of Alexander McQueen's suede heels with a bejeweled skull topper and offered a vocab lesson to boot. "Toe-Hawk," says the caption. We won't hold our breath for Merriam-Webster to add that one. Miranda KerrAustralian beauty Miranda Kerr seems to have it all—Orlando Bloom, a chubby toddler, and a ridiculously toned body. The 29-year-old posted her secret on Instagram this week—yoga. "Here's a shot from my @earthhourofficial and @koraorganicsbymk yoga class I did this morning for 250 people," read the caption under a picture of her doing a very impressive bridge.

This Grad's Niche: Veterans Issues and Restorative Justice
Posted by Staff Writer on May 28, 2013
Air Force veteran and criminal justice degree graduate Kayci Wendland has been motivated since high school to make a difference through her service to others.Initially a High School Advantage student at Minnesota School of Business-St. Cloud, she began early to formulate her career path in justice. She began college courses in paralegal studies then transferred to the criminal justice program to pursue a more face-to-face career experience, with a special interest in probation and restorative justice.
Wendland is currently employed as a Veterans Advocate for Pope County as a case worker in the probation department. It is a brand new position created to deal with "a long line of vets" she says need help with the court system.
She finds the job incredibly rewarding, but wishes she could see results faster. "It's not a court-ordered process," Wendland explains, "and a lot of vets don't think they need help."
She also maintains a part-time job at Prairie Lakes, a group home in Willmar.
Wendland admits it is hard for her to let go of that position. "I don't want the girls to feel I'm another person who walks out on them," she said.
And because apparently she has no need for sleep, Wendland continues to volunteer in restorative justice for juveniles in Swift County and at 6W Community Corrections in Chippewa County, where she completed her college internship.
"Committed" seems a bit of an understatement when describing Wendland!
Kayci Wendland has some great advice for college students preparing to graduate:
- Be Patient. Nothing comes easy. You have to work hard for your success.
- Be Prepared. Especially in your core classes. Be there and ready to learn. If you miss one class, you end up confused.
- Rely on Career Services to Help You. Interviewing can be intimidating. For the advocate position, Wendland had eight on her interview panel and two of them were judges. She urges, "Call Career Services and practice."
Wendland's ambition doesn't sleep, either. After she completes her veterans' position in about a year, she plans to return to school to become a licensed chemical dependency counselor. And after that, she wants to become a corrections officer.
A whole lot of us can probably sleep better because Wendland dedicates her career to justice.

Were I a better Christian, lent would evoke gratitude and a profound awareness of all that God has done for me, for us all. Easter actually is my favorite holiday. And while I feel like I need to say that my favor flows certainly from the hope intrinsic in the resurrection, the deeply seeded belief that new life indeed rises where all seems dead and hopeless…I think in reality, Easter is my favorite holiday because it openly faces that which is gruesome, and hard, and painful. For this season, we needn't pretend things are better than they are. Vapid facebook posts may be ignored and being fully present is not only accepted, it is encouraged. Or should be. There is no resurrection Sunday without death. There is no joyous "Christos Anesti" with the exuberant response of "Alethos Anesti" if darkness had not settled in seemingly to drown the world in sorrow.
And so sorrow is what I recall today. It is the anniversary of the day my brother was killed. It is the before and after defining moment of my life. And oh so many years ago now, it was Easter Sunday as the hospital called to ask for someone to come offer identification. The body they had turned out to be that of his friend. The body I identified and then prayed for his sister knowing how hard that would be to have a brother, killed just as adult life seemed to be beginning. It was only a few minutes later I didn't have to imagine that pain, I was ushered into a club I never wanted to enter. It changed me, it changed my parents, it changed the very ground underneath my feet. Resurrection was not going to happen for me that day.
And here we are, it is spring, and Easter is my favorite holiday even today. Palm Sunday is just around the corner and preparation are being made. The picture attached is of my dining table. My sweet husband surprised me with flowers today. A small reminder that in the midst of a day filled with dark memories, is beauty. A small reminder that when I can't go get hope myself, he is willing to bring it to me. I wasn't trying to make a statement setting them on the table in front of the cross. The cross is always there and the table was free of clutter. It was a convenience. That convenience however reminds me that where death resides, something stronger comes…it just may take time. Resurrection may not have happened that day for me so many years ago, and there are still plenty of days where grief surprises me and smacks me up side the head out of nowhere. But now, there are also days where a vase of flowers appears and surprises me just as much. The difference is that one brings a message of hope. Grieve… and know it is not the end of the story.

How Did You Get Started?
As a teen, I was always under weight, which in turn led to being picked on of course. I could eat anything and never gain a pound. I was a child model and at age 12 I was told by my agent to lose weight and being 90ish lbs I declined and quit modeling for their agency the moment my contract was up, which lead me to avoid the scale entirely until now!
At the age of 18 years, I became pregnant with my beautiful Carrera. I intended to be fit during the pregnancy, until a very sever car accident made me unable to continue working out for months. I kept eating as I desired and I am a person that never owned a weight scale so I didn't see the immense weight gain until my 6 month checkup. The doctor asked how I was feeling and said I was gaining more weight than normal but that was ok seeing as the baby was healthy and right on track. He didn't tell me to change my diet, which at the time consisted of pizza, soda, and tons of bread. I ended up being 2 weeks overdue and going from 98lbs~ pre pregnancy to over 180lbs term!!! WOW huge gain!!!
I didn't start working out until I moved to a small town in Colorado and took up jogging. Seeing as I still didn't own a scale, I can tell by looking in photos. My weight dramatically decreased. I later gained 40lbs back when I met and married my wonderful husband of 4 years now. I tried eating like he does and it seems he has a much better metabolism than myself as he remained fit and I gained swiftly!
I saw a photo of myself and decided that I was very disappointed with my appearance, so I decided it was time for change. I started with a kickboxing class two nights a week with no change in diet. When I got serious about fitness, I realized that diet was more important than ever!
I picked up a copy of my 1st Oxygen magazine in Feb of 2010 and I saw a woman who is now one of my body role models - Stacey Oster Thompson - who even went to the same high school as I did. I saw how she wasn't just thin, but tone and I saw that muscles were sexy. So I hit the weight room with some tips from Bodybuilding.com and Oxygen Magazine which have blossomed over the course of a year into a great workout routine.
In 2010, I made the decision to enter a Bikini Competition in the NPC (National Physique Committee). So, now my new goal was to decrease my body fat percentage and increase my lean muscle mass.
I started with a 6-day-a-week cardio regimen and a 4-day-a-week weight training program! I became a "gym junkie"!
I saw the weight come off and I entered my first competition in August of 2010 "The Warrior Classic". I had a great experience; I didn't place, but I found a new love in competing.
I am planning on doing my 2nd show in April of 2011. I am now honored to be a sponsored athlete for needtobuildmuscle.com and proudly use their supplements. I also take great pride in my modeling which, after I became fit again, has taken off like a rocket! I began modeling for Serenity Fine Clothing in 2008, after my initial weight loss, and regained my confidence.
I feel truly blessed every day to be so driven in my pursuit of fitness! I have a very supportive family that believes in me and my ability to reach my goals. Thank you for reading and I hope this inspires someone else.

New Players>Checking it Down
ive noticed a lot of new players Dont check it down when theres an Allin player in the pot,, i Cant say this enough, When theres an Allin player in the pot, Check it Down, UNLESS you got the NUTS, (best hand nobody can beat ) besides winning a pot its also just as Important to get Players Eliminated and move up a place, especially if your in the money already,ive seen to many players Bet, with Nothing, then the other player folds and the Allin player wins the pot, in MTT`s its just as importamt to get players OUT,,Remember this please,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, buck
OMG I hate this. People constantly throwing in continuation bets even though their AK missed, then pushing out the winning hand. So annoying. If you've got a made hand then I can understand wanting to get some extra value out of it, but each player out is often more money in you pocket. This is only an issue in MTT's though, as I personally am a big fan of side pots in cash games.
Totally agree.
Had it happen at the weekend where i only had bottom pair and Mr Agrro i shall call him decided that with a K&Q on the flop he would bet again with what turned out to be his 9-3 .
Luckily for me the all-in took the hand with the K - but why bet again with 9-3 insane and annoying.
He didnt last much longer and i made the money Karma
Now the one thing that people don't seem to understand, is that if there is no side pot, bluffing achieves nothing. If you get a better hand to fold, you win exactly 0 chips. That is stupid. But if there's money in the side pot, or you are in danger of being outdrawn (say AJ on a JT7 board with 2 clubs), betting is also fine.
I just disagree with your logic, you do not check it down to eliminate a player, the goal in the tournament is to accumulate all the chips, not just wait for people to bust out. The better logic is that bluffing into an empty or close to empty side pot does absolutely nothing good. There are several good reasons though, to first off bluff with a substantial side pot, and second to bet without the nuts even when the side pot IS empty. Poker isn't a team sport, you should always be doing your best to increase your expected winnings in the tournament, if that includes checking it down, then it does. But there are many situations where it's appropriate not to check it down, who cares if the short to medium stacks on the bubble are unhappy, they shouldn't have gotten short in the first place .
just happened to me Last week Zach,, player Bets, i have 4 4 and fold, player that had bet had K Q and the Allin had A K, and won the hand with Ace High,,, Its Very Important to Eliminate Players too, you keep playin that way Zach you going to lose a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$,,,buck
re: Poker & New Players>Checking it Down
Deja Vu
and I know you've done more threads about it as well.
I'm personally a follower of the check it down to get rid of a player notion. However, as with all things in poker, there are no absolutes. In my case unless there is a significant side pot, there just is no reason to bluff at a pot.
Only (IMO) when the shorty was very short, like below the BB, is there any overwhelmingly great reason to bet at a pot that will do more good by eliminating a player than gaining a few chips.
Betting with nothing into a dry sidepot makes no sense. Betting with nothing into a significant sidepot can make perfect sense.
I actually don't mind letting shorty hang around at the end of tourneys if I have a significant chip lead at the bubble or just ITM. Just having a shortstack at the table means people are waiting for him to bust before they risk their tournament life. This is primetime for stealing and accumulating the chips needed to win.
I'm just saying you should not make it an absolute, especially in a forum where many new players will be reading this and just take it as gospel. We need to look at the reasoning behind why we do things. There's nothing worse than a beginner learning things like this without understanding the logic behind it, and then as they progress never fully grasping why this is the case. I believe that even if some of this logic may be over some beginners' heads, that they should still be exposed to the why behind it. Basically for most new players checking down when a player is all-in probably is good advice, because it is true the majority of the time and most people who are new won't be getting into details on when it is good/bad to bet.
But you claim I will lose a lot of money, when the entire basis of my post was that we should examine the impact on our expected return (code phrase for money) from the tournament and make our decision based on that. You're making a one size fits all blanket statement and I'm saying we should make our decision based on which one makes us more money, and you're telling me my "way" of playing will lose me a lot of money?
I do play tournies, and I have little doubt that Buck is broadly correct. Obviously it`s situational, but there aren`t many situations where you should run a major risk of doubling up the short-stack when you could have eliminated him.
As a very generalised rule you probably can't go wrong with this Buck. But the very generalised part is important.
A few things, a decent sized size pot changes things drastically. Flopping a good but vunerable hand generally means you should bet to protect it. ie A♥ K♥ on a A♣ 7♣ 6♦ board, checking there is generally incorrect, even if your hand is second best to the allin player. But for a new player before you are good at reading flop textures, going with what the OP says is usually good.
re: Poker & New Players>Checking it Down
As a very generalised point for beginners, I'll agree with it.
There can be lots of good reasons for ignoring it though. Some of these include:
- There's more money in the main pot than the side pot.
- You've got a semi-vulnerable hand, like in tenbob's example
- You've got a solid (but non-nut) hand and you think you can extract significant value from the third player
- It's the bubble and you're making an absolute killing stealing pots from the players trying to fold into the money
- Implied tilt odds (something the "You have to check down every time no matter what" crew should really stop and think about)
Yes, I know I'll likely cop flak over this and I'll grant, often checking it down will be the right thing to do. But there are valid reasons for doing otherwise sometimes.
I think there's an even more important thing that new players need to focus on though:
Never, EVER actually say "Let's check it down" to the third player.
That takes what you're doing over the implied collusion line and straight into actual collusion territory. And actual collusion can score you a penalty.
In fact, if anyone ever says that to me, I'll often bet. Partially because they obviously don't want me to, partially to punish them for being so stupid, and partially so there can be no complaints about collusion.
Of course there is a difference in not checking & checking when playing in cash games or a tourney, as in a tourney you could be knocking someone out and getting closer to the/more money
I am that beginner you speak of
I am that beginner that this thread speaks of(no, not the one in any particular game, just a good representation of a newb), and I hear what you're saying about checking it down, both pro and con. But let me offer support for the Tilt factor.... When I know I've made a mistake, supported by the offended party's chat, it presents an opportunity for me to think and find a very profitable trap. And no elixir on earth is sweeter to taste then that produced from taking a large bite from a more experienced, pissed off player, whose giving me crap for a rookie mistake that I've made.
Also why do I want to see a stronger player build his chip stack and gain more leverage over me?.... Isn't it in my best interest for less skilled players of my own level to be in the tourney perhaps getting lucky and taking out stronger players? Don't I stand a better chance of finishing higher when matched against them in a hand instead of Mr. experience?
Not trying to be stupid here, but it seems to me that you experienced players can forget where you came from and often fail to look at things from our viewpoint. In particular if you want us to make a change, stop demeaning us when we've made a bonehead play, we might take it personally. Better to take a breath, then offer advice with a patient attitude. Then we will appreciate what you have done and listen too future advice. Otherwise we tend to think your just an A hole who we could care less about at the felt.
Second, this little lesson, helps both players who are checking it down. By eliminating the shorty both players move further up in the tournament by eliminating a player and generally the pot isn't very big compared to the blinds, so losing the pot is secondary to getting rid of an opponent.
Basically, I haven't said that this is a bad guideline, I'm just saying that it's not always in the best interest of everyone to eliminate a player, and that if the side pot is big enough, bluffing for that can give you enough of a chip advantage to justify letting a small stack stay in and not bust.
Basically my problem is this - I always like to understand things, I don't like just memorizing stuff. This goes from topics like poker, baseball, math, etc. When I was learning addition we learned about number bases so we would understand why we carry when we get to 10. It's how I've been raised to learn. I approach everything that way. So for that reason I just cannot stand it when basic rules are stated without the corresponding logic behind it. It may be the fastest way to start making money to just teach beginners the basic strategy without any logic, and believe me that's how a lot of people learn.
Many people (even on this site) still don't understand topics such as why we bet. So sure if the beginners in this section are looking for the fast track to beating the low-stakes sngs they can probably follow guidelines like that, but if they're actually trying to learn the game, it's important to understand why we do things. That way, they'll recognize the exceptions, and figure out for themselves when to do different things, rather than just be like "well the forum topic said never to bet when a player is all-in without the nuts". The great thing about nlhe is that there are an infinite amount of situations and the best players are the ones who understand the game and can adapt to new situations. I understand this is the beginner's section, but we need to be teaching these people the reasoning behind why we do things, not just general guidelines that could be true 95% of the time. Because it's that 5% that will make a decent player into a great one.
As I mentioned, I'm still learning, hell I'll never stop learning about the game, that's what's so great about it. As long as poker's still around I'll hopefully still be involved and learning about it in 50 years. There's always more to learn. So I apologize if I come off as a bit harsh, I'm certainly not trying to say I'm superior to anyone, I'm just saying I think we need to approach giving advice to newer players as a good foundation for learning, helping them to understand the basic concepts before they start getting into advanced topics without having fully mastered the fundamentals. I've been playing poker for several years now and only as recent as within a year did I learn the logic behind why we bet and the reasoning behind the plays I make. That's when I stopped becoming a gambler and became a real poker player. I'm trying to help other players the same way. The sooner you start approaching the game with an attempt to understand it and don't try to take shortcuts and memorize rules, the more successful you'll be imo. This is true in many aspects of life, but definitely poker.
Sorry for the length, seems like I'm writing a book lol.
I concur.
I have to agree with Zach and OzExorcist on this one. There are times where betting is a better play than checking, such as having a made but vulnerable hand. Maybe the buckster you should have said that there is absolutely no reason to ever BLUFF at a dry side pot it is not always correct to check down a dry side pot.
re: Poker & New Players>Checking it Down
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but this is for anyone who is thinking of betting into an empty side pot with a weak (or non-existent) hand. The person you're up against might be very strong, and may be checking it down for the reasons explained in this thread.
I've checked down some pretty strong hands in tournaments, and I've also busted a few players out just because they were stupid enough to bluff the side pot.
It's like, "Well, I wasn't going to bet, but now that you've opened up the side pot, I think I'll bust you too."
As a general rule you should check it down, sure, but i don't think it is correct to say you should always check it down. First of all it is very rare that there is no side pot, and in many cases the side pot is actually as large, or larger, than the main pot.
Another thing is that by betting into even a dry side pot, alot of ppl will call with pretty marginal hands simply because they want to eliminate the all in player and since you "shouldn't" bet into a dry side pot they just can't bring themselves to fold. So if you hit a good hand you can actually often create a nice side pot. That said, the only time i remember actually betting into an all in pot was with 2nd nut flush or something, and that was largly because the donk in the pot had bet after the flop into a dry side pot so there was a nice side pot.
However, donks who make cbets into all in pots with A high or middle pair etc. should be shot.
I'd like to thank you for taking the time to express this viewpoint. It may slow my progress, but any new skill that I am trying to develop is of little practical use to me without this underlying base of logic. Without it I personally am unable to think outside of the box when a creative answer would better serve me.
now i know i'm not the best player but, if the all-in is some-1 low on chip count..just trying to stay in the game...and i know i got him beat i'l raise..but i need to see that i got the pot won..if not i agree with every-1 just checking it off... if you dont have it for shure then check-it...but if u do try and get some more chip's in your stack
Near term gain long term???
Checking it down or essentially not bluffing here makes sense most of the time since your table image is also at stake. If you feel like a sequence of unbeatable hands are coming your way by all means bluff away your table cred. You will be called incessantly from that point forward by everyone which will work to your benefit. If however you feel the normal distribution coming on beware, you will need to get lucky to avoid the bulls eye on your back.
If in this situation you bet big, driving out anyone, You become responsible for the short stack double up, and will suffer the Uncle Ben curse! That means you really need to flop the nut flush, or a boat, or at bare minimum a set and are taking full responsibility for shorty sticking around, or not.!
It is far far better to get rid of shorty than to take on that full responsibility.
re: Poker & New Players>Checking it Down
One, this thread is kinda old. But more importantly...
Two, if you'd read the whole thing, you'd notice that it's not "every-1" that agrees with checking down every single time. There are times, places and reasons for doing otherwise sometimes.

The program for molecular biology is designed to provide an intensive exposure to the theoretical concepts and experimental techniques of molecular biology. The concepts and techniques of molecular biology are the foundation for the studies of all aspects of biology in modern time. A focus on molecular biology, therefore, provides an excellent preparation for a wide range of advanced studies including basic research, medicine, bioengineering, and biotechnology. Considerable emphasis is placed on chemistry, biochemistry, and genetics for students enrolled in the program. As such, it is recommended for those students who have a particularly strong interest in this field of study.
The major requirements below apply to students who were admitted to UC San Diego in Fall 2016 or later. If you were admitted to UC San Diego prior to Fall 2016, please refer to your degree audit, the UC San Diego General Catalog, or academic plan that aligns with your admit term for a listing of major requirements. If you have further questions, please contact a Biology Advisor for clarification.
Note: Effective Fall 2015, entering freshmen are required to complete Introductory Biology Lab (BILD 4). Transfer students will be held to the new requirement beginning Fall 2017.
Note: Any given course can only satisfy one major requirement
Important Changes to the Organic Chemistry Sequence
Please note: The degree audit may not automatically reject D grades for the major. If your degree audit appears blue and you have a D in a required course for the major, please contact a biology advisor.
To receive a Bachelor of Science from UC San Diego, all students must complete 48 or more units of upper-division course work within the major.
Please note: The degree audit may not display an accurate number of upper division biology electives required for the major in order to meet the 48 upper division unit requirement.
If your degree audit is blue and the 48 upper division unit requirement in the bottom of the first column is red, you will need to take additional upper division biology coursework in order to satisfy this requirement. If you have questions, please contact a biology advisor.
To receive a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from UC San Diego, all students must complete at least twenty units of upper-division coursework in the Division of Biological Sciences with a grade of C- or better. This coursework must directly apply to the student's Biology major requirements, and must be taken while officially enrolled at UC San Diego. Courses completed outside of the UC San Diego Division of Biological Sciences will not be counted toward the residency requirement.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: dash-like accumulation of phosphorylated TDP-43 in somatodendritic and axonal compartments of somatomotor neurons of the lower brainstem and spinal cord

Skein-like and spherical inclusions within the somatodendritic compartment of a few types of susceptible neurons in the human nervous system are the currently acknowledged pathological hallmarks of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These inclusions consist chiefly of an aggregated, phosphorylated, and ultimately ubiquitinated intranuclear protein, TDP-43. To investigate the development of these inclusions, a single neuronal type that is susceptible to the ALS-associated pathological process, i.e., the class of large multipolar somatomotor neurons in the lower brainstem and spinal cord, was studied in four cases of sporadic ALS and four age-matched controls using immunoreactions against phosphorylated TDP-43 (pTDP-43), p62, and ubiquitin. In these neurons, the protein TDP-43, after its displacement outside of the cell nucleus and abnormal phosphorylation, forms light microscopically visible dash-like aggregates which were dispersed throughout their entire somatodendritic domain and even extended into the proximal portions of the axon. Many motor neurons contained these lesions, which were not detectable with anti-TDP-43 and anti-p62. In an additional step, a small number of the neurons that contain the dash-like lesions displayed a clustering of the aggregated material, which forms thick net-like (potential precursors of the skein-like inclusions) and spherical inclusions. This material, in turn, was ubiquitinated and p62-immunopositive. Thus, dash-like pTDP-43 aggregates are regularly seen in motor neurons in ALS and may represent the initial cellular lesion in this disease. Because these aggregates were not stained with antibodies against p62 and non-phosphorylated TDP-43, it is possible that phosphorylation of TDP-43 is required for its aggregation in sporadic ALS.

I leapt from tree to tree coming safely down to the ground every now and then. This was as close to flyig as we have ever gotten. The wonderful feeling of being airborne for five seconds coursing through your veins helping you go on.
A strange thing about the Guard was that this less gravity rule somehow was turned off for them. They could still jump as far and high as we could, they just didn't take their time coming back down.
If a non-Guardian tried running, our low gravity slowed us down, that's why we jump everywhere. Guardians can run though, and they're four times as fast as the fastest person by any means of travel.
Ben's told me about it a couple of times. He says that when initiated into the Guard, a series of spells are binded to your physical structure, including the gravitational spell.
During their training period the spell is doubled making the gravity weigh upon them and therefore you'd have to work harder to move like a full Guardian. And after completing your training, the spell is reduced to half its power, or nuetrel. This makes Guardians twice as powerful as they were before, therefore faster and more effective strength wise.
So, long story short, Guardians are more tied to the ground, making them faster and allowing them to run.
Over this hill was the Sorrey Castle named after the very first queen of the people. In terms of jumping uphill was easier. You could use your arms to help propel yourself foward and up.
The Sorrey Castle was a more modernly built castle. Not so much the moat and dungeon and stone structure but of white brick that blended flawlessly into the next. It was more wide and spacious than tall and towering, and I liked it. I said goodbye to Iddy and Icly and went around back to my dressing room.
I made my way around the side wall and to the back where the door to my room was. When I heard a thump behind me. I blanched and my heart skipped a beat. They said this might happen...I whipped out my dagger blade from my designer belt and swirled to face my attacker, putting the blade right against their neck.
Ben smiled but stayed where he was, my blade against his neck. I was shaking like a leaf in the wind, gasping and ready for battle. Pshh, and it was Ben, grrr.
"Hey girlie, thought you'd never get here!" He laughed and carefuly moved my dagger away from his open neck. I shook myself, grinning and returned it to its place inside my skirt.
"Oh did you now? What, miss the lock up again? Ben, I swear, you couldn't be on time to save your life," Ben laughed, shrugging. I shook my head and faced the blank wall. In my head I visualize the door that I only I could see was there and took a deep breath. Queens learned some magic for defense and unlocking things and such, but most all magic was found in the Guard, and if you had magic, you were usually recruited.
I wasn't really doing magic now, I was just opening one. Anyone could say the words that I was about to say, but noone would be able to remember them. Only the Queen could. And guess who I was.
"Aris adante turra cadis ludo drada seccano la de anna...." I opened my eyes and waited. A few seconds later the door in my mind appeared and opened soundlessly foward.
It had used to creak, but I got that fixed, too eerie. The door was made of scarlet redwood with iron handles and designs around it. My personal design, Aly wouldn't have gone near it so she didn't know. I'd only told Ben about it.
I trusted Ben with my life. And I should, he is my Guardian after all. If I don't trust him, how could I live with him being a constant part of my life?
I walked hestitantly in the doorway, my little speech still on my mind. The Guard assured me that Ben has no psychik abilities what so ever, but I still wasn't sure if I believed that. He always seemed to know what I was feeling.
Most of the time he either shrugs or blames it on my face. He says I'm an open book and that anyone could read me, he just seems to be the most into the story, and I'd laugh.
"What's on your mind?" He asked softly. I sighed, did I really want to go through the whole thing?

About the SPADE Defense Index
The SPADE® Defense Index (NYSE: ^DXS) is a modified capitalization-weighted index comprised of publicly traded companies that benchmarks the performance of companies involved with defense, homeland security, and space. The Index is composed of more than 50 firms with representative business activities including: naval vessels, military aircraft, missiles and munitions, battlespace awareness, C4ISR, network centric warfare, homeland security including border security and biometric and screening systems, and space systems.
Index values are distributed by the NYSE/ICE Data Services under the ticker 'DXS'. The InvescoPowershares Aerospace & Defense ETF, designed to track the SPADE Defense Index, trades under the ticker 'PPA'. Historical data for the Index is available from 30 December 1997. The ETF was launched on 26 October 2005.
About the Market
The Defense and Homeland Security market represents nearly 5% of U.S. GDP and includes a number of the world's leading industrial firms as well as those developing the next generation of cutting-edge technologies.
The sector's performance over the past two decades has been driven by a global increase in spending by governments for defense and security -- now totaling more than $1.1 Trillion annually and the purchase of commercial aircraft designed to fly with increased fuel efficiencies. Even as the U.S. market tightens, international defense, and commercial sector opportunities are rising.
Historically over the past forty years, the sector has showed steady gains when factoring in reinvested dividends, even during periods of budget tightening. Defense companies over time have been adept at returning value to shareholders and unlike previous cycles, the balance sheets of defense companies are currently in a position of strength. With low valuations, many analysts believe that the sector continues to present opportunities.
For more on the aerospace and defense market, read our commentary and industry statistics found in our newsletter -- "The SPADE Investor".
The Powershares Aerospace & Defense ETF (PPA), which tracks the Index, is highly liquid.

CBI, Episode 2: CriminologyMature
David Mendrick and his crew are up against a very dangerous serial killer. A serial killer that uses medieval weapons to brutally murder innocent people.
One question remains. Will they catch this dangerous criminal? Or will David Mendrick's past corrupt his very soul?
He was back.
He had been waiting for years to come back to his business. After the last murder, they had almost caught him, so he waited a while, and allowed the investigation to die down. Four years of waiting, and now he was back in the business.
These thoughts went through his head as he stood over the body. The body with the long, sharp blade gored into its side. A smile ran across his face. He turned and walked away from the scene of the crime. His footsteps echoed off of the alley walls, and he vanished into the shadows.
The Knight was back.
