Use visualization techniques to build confidence before exams
You have studied and prepared -- will continue to study and prepare -- for your end of term exams. You have outlined each subject and prepared exam checklists that contain the legal issues/rules, elements that yopu need to know to do well; you have reread and continue to reread your outlines; you have written practice exam essays; and you have done practice multiple-choice questions. Keep up that good work and maintain that momentum.
As you prepare for exam day(s), you can take one more step by taking a page from athletes preparing for competitions. Use visualization techniques to build or enhance confidence as you move into the exam period. Breathe deeply, close your eyes, visualize a large powerful animal, visualize yourself as that large powerful animal. Take that image of yourself with you into the exam room. On exam days, employ strong, erect, powerful posture -- posture that reflects confidence.
While there is no substitute for study and preparation for law school exams, you can sse the combination of preparation and visulaization techniques to build confidence as you approach exams. Visualize yourself as powerful; enter the examination room with erect, strong posture; picture yourself writing exams confidently.
(This post was inspired by a presentation at the New England Consortiium of Legal Writing Teachers Conference - September 2014 at Vermont Law School -- "The Sport of Lawyering: Using Visualization to Improve Performance," Julie St. John, Assistant Professor at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law)

Feed Your Body to Feed Your Brain
Winter has arrived. Just as the temperatures are dropping and daylight hours are getting shorter, students are gearing up for longer study days and less sleep. During exam period, students tend to over-consume caffeine and junk food and cut back on sleep and exercise. This combination often leads to fatigue and illness. Getting sick is the last thing you want to happen during exams. Exam period is when you need to be at your best so don't underestimate the importance of healthy habits. Keep your body strong in order to keep your brain strong. Study for those exams but also eat a vegetable, go for a brisk walk, and get some sleep.

Expert Exam Advice
For most people, the end of November means Thanksgiving and the holiday shopping season. It means family, food, and football. For law students, it means the start of exams. It is a time for writing papers, creating outlines, and studying. A lot of studying. For 1Ls especially, it can be stressful and quite overwhelming. This is the first set of exams they will take and success is not guaranteed.
I recently had breakfast with a group of 2Ls and as the conversation turned to exams, I asked them to share some advice: what do 1Ls need to know about law school exams? Here are their wise words:
- Make your own outline and start with 20 minute blocks to overcome beginner's inertia.
- Focus on what is important, including the non-school aspects. Don't let finals take over your life.
- Don't mistake organizing for studying. You make the perfect outline and not know a thing on it.
- Know the terms of art and use them when answering questions.
- Many people study in different ways. Trust your methods. Don't feel like you have to be white knuckle the whole finals period.
- Studying is key, but you need to know when to stop. If your outline is done (and it should be) stop the night before the final and do something else: anything else. Especially near the end of your finals, you need to give your brain a break.
- Don't neglect relationships.

Address the Stress with Mindfulness
Lawyers have a higher rate of depression, anxiety, substance-abuse, and suicide than the rest of the population. The practice of law can be stressful but aren't most jobs? Why are lawyers having so much trouble dealing with stress? Stress is a mental (and sometimes physical) reaction to a perceived threat or change. In law school, stress manifests early in the 1L year: our past perfection drives our desire to do well and it joins forces with the realization that everyone else is striving for the same level of success. It then crashes into the curved grade system which means that no matter how hard you work, your grade ultimately depends on how well others do. Regardless of the grade, the uncertainty and lack of control lingers throughout your law school career. Then you enter the practice of law and these feelings collide with the emotional intensity of dealing with clients' problems day after day and working with other lawyers who are often adversarial. It's a recipe for anxiety, depression, and substance-abuse.
The reality is, life itself is a constant flow of change so we will always have stress. However, stress is not so much the event itself but our perception and reaction to that event. There will always be deadlines and performance expectations. We can't change that but we can change the way we perceive stress.
Oftentimes, we react to negative situations without thinking. Instead of intentionally focusing on the present moment, we immediately judge it as good/bad, right/wrong, fair/unfair. This habit is not necessarily a positive one because it is reacting without thinking. It leads to stress, anxiety, depression. Instead, we need to develop a new habit: mindfulness. Mindfulness is a powerful tool for addressing emotional challenges because it helps develop meta-cognition, focuses attention, and strengthens the ability to make deliberate choices. Mindfulness addresses the stress. It allows us to be in control of our own mind instead of our mind controlling us. In practicing mindfulness we learn to become aware of our thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behavior so we can interrupt stress cycles before they take over.
Janice Marturano, author of Finding the Space to Lead, and Executive Director of the Institute for Mindful Leadership recommends something called the Purposeful Pause. The Purposeful Pause is more than just stopping. It is about redirecting and focusing attention so you can make conscious choices. Try incorporating one of these Purposeful Pauses into your day:
- Choose to start your day rather than letting the day start you. Start the day by just breathing and before getting out of bed, take a few seconds to notice the sensations of your breathing.
- Use transitions wisely. Pick a day to drive to (or from) work/school without the radio or phone. When you arrive, allow yourself a few moments to sit in the car, noticing the breath.
- Just walk between meetings/classes. No emails, texts, or social media. Think about each step you take and the possibility of greeting colleagues you pass rather than bumping into them while you text!
Mindfulness is an opportunity to create new, healthy habits. Let's make the intentional choice to be mindful and let's change those statistics.

Procrastination 101
You don't procrastinate. You perform better under pressure. This may be true but it is more likely how you justify putting things off. Admit it, just a few weeks ago you told yourself that you were going to stay on top of thing this semester. Law student: start outlining early and be prepared for every class. Professor: get the whole semester planned before classes begin, work on your article every week without fail. You would make no excuses. Then you got busy and more important things came up: moot court try-outs/practice, organizing an event for some organization (of which you are probably the president), your friend's birthday (you only turn 23 once). Admit it, you procrastinate. Everyone procrastinates sometimes but it should not be the norm. Procrastination may be something you do (or avoid doing) but it should not define you. We procrastinate for many reasons: daunting task, fear of failure, too many options. Whatever the reason, procrastinating actually increases your stress and only puts off the inevitable. Now that you've admitted you procrastinate, it's time to do something about it.
Begin with identifying why you avoid starting a task and address it: break a daunting project into smaller tasks, allow yourself to make a few mistakes along the way, list the cons of waiting until the last minute and the benefits of starting early. The hardest part is turning your aspirations into actions. Identify a positive attribute that describes you and use that to define your actions then pick a start date and hold yourself accountable (arrange to meet a classmate and work together, set up a meeting with your professor to ask questions or get feedback, block out the time on your calendar so you can't fill it with other things). Take it one day at a time and take back the control. Don't wait until tomorrow, stop procrastinating today. (KSK)

Maintain the Motivation
It's still early in the semester so you might be wondering why I'm writing about motivation. The reason is simple: it's easier to maintain something than to lose it and get it back.
A few years ago I was in the best shape of my life. I worked out regularly, ate a healthy balanced diet, and even ran a half marathon. I felt great. Then I moved to a new job in a new city and I used that as an excuse to push exercise and healthy eating to the side. Fast forward several months: my clothes were tight and walking from my car to the office was the most exercise I got. I did not feel great. I came up with a plan to get back in shape and went to the gym for the first time in a long time. It was awful. I was out of breath within minutes, moved slower than molasses, and the next day could barely move. It was ugly but I kept going until I got myself to a healthier place. I liked how I felt and decided it was a lot better to maintain than to have to start all over again. When I catch myself being lazy, I just think of that first day back at the gym and get moving. Even if it's just something small like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or eating only half a bag of chips, I feel better because I know I'm still moving forward.
I share this story because we've all been there and it's something we can all relate to. The same holds true for motivation in law school. You start the semester off excited and ready to go but somewhere along the way you realize you've lost some of that drive. Instead of waiting until that happens, here are some tips on how to maintain your motivation throughout the semester:
Know there will be setbacks- you know you'll have a bad day (or week) but don't let it sidetrack you. Being prepared for a setback makes it easier to overcome.
Believe in yourself- if you don't think you can succeed, then why would anyone else? Make a list of your strengths and focus on what you can do instead of what you can't.
Be realistic- Setting a standard that is impossible to meet guarantees failure. Instead, set small goals that allow you see your achievements along the way.
Challenge yourself- be realistic but not complacent. Don't be afraid to make a mistake or step out of your comfort zone. It is easy to fall into old habits unless you challenge yourself in new and different ways.
Have a support system- Whether its friends, family, professors, classmates, there are people who sincerely want you to succeed and you will need them when your motivation falters. They will give you that little boost and keep you going.
Take advantage of the opportunities this new semester presents. Maintain your motivation so you have to work extra hard to get it back.

Welcome to Law School!
Welcome to law school!
Welcome to law school, we're glad you're here! Many of you will be hearing this statement over and over again during the next few weeks, and may have various thoughts as to why so many people keep saying the same thing. Are they truly glad I'm here? Is this some sort of veiled greeting that masks the torture that waits? Will they still be happy to see me if I ask a "dumb" question? All good questions that any cautious soon to be lawyer would ask when entering into foreign territory. Let me hopefully assuage your fears by responding to those questions.
Yes, we are truly glad that you are at your respective law school. When many people are making the choice not to embark on this particular career path, you have decided to follow your passion to serve others and make this society better through the law. We are glad that you will continue to enrich the legal bar with your soon to be acquired legal skills. Does some form of torture await? Well, I wouldn't call it torture but more of an intensive training program where you are mentally challenged (sometimes physically too) in order to build a sharp, curious and critical thinking mind. It's somewhat analogous to running a marathon (so I'm told) the preparation is grueling and at times you may want to quit, but when the time comes to actually run the 26 miles you are ready and crossing the finish line will be the best thing in the world. A victory like no other; much like law school graduation or passing the bar exam. Will they still like you if you ask a "dumb" question? Everyone who enters law school as a student does so not having practiced law before, so no question is a dumb question. You are here to learn and professors will be very happy if you ask questions. In fact, one of the ways that your professors get to know you is by your questions and comments. Ask questions in class and in office hours. Let them know that you are paying attention and that you are curious; let them know who you are. Think of your professors as your trainers for the marathon. They are there to give you guidance, knowledge and encouragement as you train. However, they can't give you what you need if you don't ask questions and let them know what you need to succeed.
So, welcome to law school, I'm glad you decided to join the profession! I really mean it. (LMV)

Foundation Concepts
Summer is winding down and the fall semester starts in a few weeks, which means it's time for everyone to offer advice on law school success. Here's my two cents on how to start the semester off right: understand, organize, analyze. That's it. Seems simple, right? Of course there is a catch. You will be reading court decisions and reading a case is not like reading fiction or textbooks. It goes beyond understanding the material. A case is just a piece of a much larger puzzle. To put that puzzle together you start with understanding the words within the case but then you must understand the case as a whole and how it fits into the larger organizational scheme. Finally, you must analyze that information under different fact scenarios to predict outcomes and resolve client issues. It won't be easy at first and you will make mistakes, but the concepts are foundational and it won't be long before understanding, organizing, and analyzing becomes a part of your internal thinking process.

Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
Get comfortable being uncomfortable. This is my mantra for law school, the bar exam, the practice of law. There are always unknown factors and more than one right answer. You have to do your best to be prepared for anything but it still might not be enough. Certainty, absolutes, and complete control are not common. When asked a question, most lawyers answer with, "It depends…" Studying for the bar exam is a real test in getting comfortable being uncomfortable. You struggle to learn a massive amount of material yet are tested on only a fraction of it, and your score depends on how well others do. It's a nerve-wracking process. I talk to my students about what it takes and how they will feel but I also experience it with them. Each summer during bar prep I do something that makes me uncomfortable. This year I decided to run. Every day. For the entire bar prep period and through the bar exam (66 days). Yes, I'm a runner but I hadn't been consistent and was definitely not in peak condition. I had never run this many consecutive days and I kept making excuses to not do this challenge. I was a little scared that I would fail, which is exactly why I had to do it. Before I started I set some ground rules for myself: each week I would take a max of 2 "rest" days (under 2 miles) and do at least 1 challenging run (high mileage, hills, etc.). I would also go public (facebook) so I couldn't make excuses. Then I started running. I started out cautious because I was afraid I'd get worn out. I realized that was wimpy and kicked it up a notch. I added cross-training two days a week to build up strength. And I kept running. By the end, I ran almost 200 miles in 4 states, lost a few pounds, and got some killer tan lines. I also learned a lot about myself and what it means to get comfortable being uncomfortable. Of all the challenges I have done, this is the one that most connected me to what my students are going through. Here are just a few take-aways:
(1) If you don't take a break every now and then, you'll get worn out and crash.
(2) There is rarely a good reason not to run but there are a lot of excuses.
(3) If you don't have a plan you'll find yourself running at 9:30pm and again at 6:30am the next day.
(4) A bad run is still a run and you will benefit from it.
(5) You must believe in yourself but don't underestimate the importance of friends and family.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable. That's what it's all about.

The Importance of Writing for Long-Term ASPer's
My article is due to go out to law reviews on Friday. I have learned many, many things while writing the article, but the most important lesson learned is about teaching. Specifically, the process of submitting my piece to outside reviewers has given me renewed insight into what our students experience when they receive feedback. I know the research on students and feedback. However, it is completely different to experience getting feedback. If you have been in ASP for a while, you probably haven't received feedback since law school. Getting feedback is very tough. To write something, to spend weeks and months preparing, and then weeks and months writing, is emotionally draining and personally exhausting. You cannot help but feel that your admittedly flawed, incomplete article is a part of yourself. But then you have to let it go out to reviewers. If you are lucky, you will have tough, critical reviewers who are willing to tell you everything that is wrong with the piece, so that you can make it better before the submission process. I have been blessed with some really tough reviewers, and my piece is immeasurably better because they spent hours telling me just what is wrong with my flawed, incomplete article. I am confident that what goes out on Friday morning is no longer flawed or incomplete, but a fully-realized articulation of a problem. And it is better, stronger, and complete because of the feedback I received from outside reviewers.
The process of receiving feedback has reminded me how tough it is on our students. They spend all semester struggling with the material, and then they are judged on their learning just once or twice a semester. They cannot help but feel like they are being personally judged, evaluated, and measured. Part of our job is to help our students see that critical feedback is not meant to measure failures and self-worth, but to show them how to be stronger, better, and smarter. It is a part of the "invisible curriculum" of law schools (to use a Carnegie term) that criticism will produce stronger lawyers. We need to make that visible to students; we need to explain that we give them critical feedback because we believe they can be smarter, stronger, better thinkers and writers.
If you are a long-term ASPer, try writing an article for a law review. It may not help you in your professional evaluations, you may not need it for tenure, but you should do it because it will make you a better teacher. Reading about feedback is not the same as receiving feedback. Write because it will help you understand your students.

Meditate to Melt Bar Exam Stress
Summer bar preparation is kicking into high gear. The first week is a blur. The second week is overwhelming. The third week is a blur again. Bar preparation is excruciating- physically, mentally, and emotionally. One way to stay even and remain focused is to practice meditation.
Meditation can take on many forms. However, mindfulness, attention to breathing, and intentional focus are necessary components. First, try to create an environment where you can be quiet and free from distractions. You do not need to redecorate or go to extremes. Merely find a spot where you can feel relaxed for ten or twenty minutes per day without being interrupted.
Next, concentrate on your breathing. Think about good air coming in to refresh and satiate your spirit; and, the bad "stressful" air being exhaled and released. Attention to breath is essential to meditation. If the only one thing that you accomplish is sitting with your breath for 10 minutes, you will still be in a better mental place. Try to clear your mind and focus on your breathing and let everything else melt away. Thousands of assignments, rule statements, MBE questions, and life stressors will try to infiltrate your thoughts. Keep them out by concentrating on your breathing. Let this time be just about your breathing.
By making meditation a daily practice, the stress of bar review will slowly melt away…at least for a short part of your day. Even though schedules are strained, adding a 10-20 minute daily meditation can help add a deeper level of peace and contentment. So... turn off your phone and computer, find a soft spot to land, close your eyes, and breathe.

Ignorance is Bliss
Some students have engaged in early bar preparation prior to law school graduation, while others have chosen to focus their efforts on other tasks during their last year of law school. While I strongly advocate for the notion of "the earlier the better" for bar prep, many decide to live solely in the present and avoid the bar exam until it is imminent. "Ignorance is bliss"after all.
This sentiment brings to mind Thomas Gray's poem Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College, a personal reflection on the bliss of youth and the worries and trials that lie ahead in adulthood. Law school is by no means paradise, but it invokes "wild wit, invention ever-new" much more than preparing for the bar exam. Unfortunately, preparing for the bar exam feels much more like "comfortless despair."
Thus, I encourage students to take time now at the close of their legal education to reflect on their successes, their challenges, and the fun times that they had as a law student. This provides closure to their law school experience and helps invigorate their ambition to succeed on the bar exam. And, since the "folly" of bar review will be upon them next week, I hope they have one last weekend of pure, unrestrained bliss.

Rattled by the Rush
I usually abhor things like Upworthy and Buzzfeed, but I do like the message of this video by Alan Watts and the South Park folks:
It points out that education trains us into thinking that a good and successful life means living it as a bone-rattling rush to some sort of electrifying conclusion that will once-and-for-all make us happy. Law students, who by-and-large have been successful in doing what school tells them to do, are particularly susceptible to this sort of thing. For myself, I went to law school wanting to save the squirrels and came out on the other side thinking that I had to go to big law or I was a total loser.
Although it might be hard to "dance" while learning the Rule Against Perpetuities, it's not a bad attitude for students (and their teachers) to develop. (Alex Ruskell)

It's OK to Leave Law School
Hat tip to Jan M. Levine for reminding us about a Spring 2013 article in The Law Teacher. The article that Professor Levine wrote is based on a letter from a former student who had left law school years before and wanted to share his thoughts with the perspective he had gained. The issue of The Law Teacher can be found here with the article near the end of the issue: It's OK to Leave Law School.

Whenever I meet with students who have done poorly in the first semester, I tell them about the first English paper I turned in in college. I had never gotten less than an A in anything in my life, I was the "English" guy for big state contests, I'd won several creative writing awards, and I really thought I wanted to major in English. On my first paper, I got a C. When I went to talk to the professor, a man who wore seersucker suits and looked like a cross between Mark Twain and Colonel Sanders, he said in his genteel Virginia-tidewater accent, "Is English your first language? Your name is Russian. Are you translating as you write?"
The unfortunate thing was that he was genuinely curious and English is my first, and only, language.
And the thing was, he was right. The paper was too clever by half, full of elevated verbiage and ideas that got started but then petered out. Split-infinitives were everywhere, the Oxford Comma had apparently decided to hop a bus to Cambridge, and the whole thing rested on a very faulty argument I'd cribbed from an R.E.M. song. But, I took his advice and comments seriously, readjusted my writing process, and, in the words of my seventh grade science teacher, "Got back on the A-train."
I go on to tell my students that I bet most of their professors have a similar story somewhere back in their academic careers, so they should realize that 1) they're not alone, 2) they can bounce back, and 3) this is an integral part of the learning experience that is often overlooked (as in, "Hell, I'm never taking Crim Law again! Let's toss that exam and never look at it!").
I honestly believe hitting a roadbump can sometimes be the best thing that can happen to a student. It forces the student to reflect on their learning and forces them to get better. If I had continued on my merry way without hitting that first bump I might still be scribing in bloviated sentences constructed entirely in the aether and intertwined with the thoughts and errs of beknighted folly -- or something.
So, I try to present a first semester failure as opportunity. I ask them to go over their exams with their professors to see where they fell short, then I meet with them and we make a plan to fix those holes.
And, happily, this year many, many second year students have been coming in to tell me about how they have been able to turn around their grades. While their egos may have been bruised, they have gained necessary insights into themselves and their education. And I know these insights will make them better lawyers. (Alex Ruskell)

Moving Forward for Improvement in Grades
Alex and Rebecca have made very valid points in their posts regarding grades and reactions to grades last week. I would like to add some additional observations.
Our law students with few exceptions have always beeen at the top of the heap. A and B grades have come easily to them during their educational lives. In addition they have been campus leaders, successful athletes, officers in community youth groups - and for the non-traditional students, community leaders and exemplary employees. Whether their grades are good for law school (but just not good enough for them) or in the great middle of the class (those ever present C grades) or at the bottom of the heap for law school (probation or dismissal), the shock is there when their expectations are not met.
To be very honest, I find that many law students have not learned good study habits in prior educational settings even though they got excellent grades. A variety of factors play into that situation:
- grade inflation (one study showed that 75% of college grades are As and Bs),
- multiple-choice "just recognize the right answer" exams,
- no papers or only short papers written,
- papers that focus on just ideas and not writing style/grammar/punctuation,
- spoon feeding of what will need to be regurgitated on the exam,
- multiple exams that allow for cramming pieces of a course rather than comprehensive understanding of material,
- grading that allows for the lowest grade on exams/assignments to be dropped,
- group work that allows slackers to coast for the same grade as the others who did the work,
- and many more aspects.
When students are suddenly confronted with the amount of material in law school courses and the one-grade phenomenon of many courses, their old study habits no longer work. This reality is especially true if they came from educational backgrounds that were not competitive for grades and handed out accolades for basically showing up and doing the minimum.
The good news for all law students is that solid study strategies can be learned and make a difference in one's grades. More efficient and effective reading, briefing, note-taking, outlining, and exam-taking can all boost grades. Time management and organization are key skills that can also be learned.
Attitude is critical as well. Realizing that one can change and improve is important to future success. Willingness to work hard and change one's habits are major steps. Some law students get discouraged and settle for being average or below average as though their destiny is fixed after grades come out.
Do not give in to that mindset! Students can change their academic study strategies and reach their academic potential. Students can improve their grades wherever they currently fall in their classes. All students can change their strategies and gain greater learning with less stress.
Why do I believe this? I work weekly with a number of probation students each semester to help them find more efficient and effective ways to study. Look at some statistics for grades this past semester from probation students who met with me regularly, changed their study strategies, and worked smarter. Some made greater strides than others, but improvement resulted. (I have not included information for 3 probation students whose grades for one course are still unreported.)
(last enrolled regular semester GPA; not cum GPA) (fall semester GPA; not cum GPA)
- 1.321 2.666
- 1.428 2.750
- 1.571 3.045
- 1.607 2.678
- 1.642 2.607
- 1.642 2.678
- 1.714 3.000
- 1.733 2.250
- 1.750 2.650
- 1.857 2.500
- 1.892 2.785
- 2.107 3.384
- 2.250 2.333
And here are the statistics for 2 other probation students:
- 1.642 1.857 (cancelled many ASP appointments; up for dismissal)
- 1.866 3.600 (did not meet with ASP)
Intervention by the Office of Academic Success Programs is not the only variable that determines improvement as can be seen by the last example. The number of strategies implemented, the number of hours studied, motivation, individual appointments with professors for help, personal circumstances, sleep/nutrition/exercise, and other variables also have impacts.
The point is that for all of the students who implemented more efficient and effective study strategies, improvement happened. Once all the grades are in for the remaining 3 students, will all of the students I met with meet academic standards? Maybe not, but 13 probation students have already exceeded the standards they needed and are on the road to future success. By honing their new study strategies, they should be able to continue at their new academic levels and beyond.
The take away from this post: Put last semester's GPA behind you and move forward by seeking assistance from ASP and your professors so that you can implement new study strategies to help you improve your grades and live up to your academic potential. There is no magic bullet or guarantee, but there is hope. (Amy Jarmon)

Happy Friendsgiving!
When I was a law student, I looked at Thanksgiving break as prime study time. Many of my friends and study partners avoided the travel rush in order to best prepare for final exams and catch up on much needed sleep. With over 25 million people traveling around Thanksgiving, it may be wise for many of you to opt out of travel as well.
However, maintaining traditions and building community helps strengthen bonds and provides comfort at a time of the year when we need it most. Therefore, circa 1997, my law school comrades and I decided to create a new Thanksgiving tradition- Friendsgiving. We all gathered on Thanksgiving Eve and feasted on roasted turkey, pecan topped sweet potato soufflé, and amazing homemade pumpkin and apple pies (with a mug of hot cider spiked with Tuaca). A foodies delight!
When we were overwhelmed by the semester and feeling gloomy from the rainy gray Seattle skies, we gathered for a night filled with delicious food and gratitude. I feel blessed to have found lifelong friends during my time in law school. I consider all of them my Seattle family. We spend several holidays each year together and now we are almost outnumbered by our children, but Friendsgiving started it all. This year I am hosting our 15th Friendsgiving celebration!
Before you jump into your weekend of studying, I encourage you to create your own Friendsgiving tradition!
Happy Friendsgiving!

Time, Time, Time...
Sometimes, timing is everything. Law students need to learn to use their time wisely to effectively manage the demands of law school while balancing jobs, families, and self-care. Being at the right place at the right time makes a significant difference for law students who are networking for job opportunities and seeking support systems. Also, timing and pacing during a final exam (or the bar exam) can mean the difference between a passing grade and a failing one. In this post, I have referenced song lyrics that incorporate the theme of time while relating them to the law school experience.
"If I could save time in a bottle…" I know I may be dating myself with this one, but I had to begin with this classic line from Jim Croce's hit love song "Time in a Bottle". Ask your students what they would do if they could save time in a bottle. Are they making the most of each moment? Are they being intentional with how they plan their schedules, spend their time, and balance their commitments? We all want more time (especially law students), but instead of focusing on the lack of time we have, highlight ways to use time more efficiently and encourage your students to be present when free moments avail themselves.
"I've got too much time on my hands…" This classic rock song by Styx was written as a reflection on the unemployment crisis in the 70's. The underlying theme in the lyrics rings true in many respects for today's law students. They are worried about their careers, finding a job, and performing well on exams. They may not be able to tighten their focus when they actually do find that they have "time on their hands." Time management does not always come naturally. Providing students with tools and resources to help them manage their time will help them prioritize, use their free time wisely, and establish effective routines.
Similar to the melancholy quality of Styx's lyrics, Otis Redding hits a few low notes when he croons about… "sitting on the dock of the bay…wasting time…." Students sometimes sit and feel like they cannot catch a break. Redding's hit resonates with students who are feeling like they have left the life they knew only to find that law school is challenging, competitive, and sometimes disappointing. When they feel like "nothing's gonna change", we step in to give them hope. Providing the tools for success to law students empowers them to make necessary changes to ensure their success. Especially at the close of the semester, we need to recognize that law students are exhausted, overloaded, and feeling lost. As Cyndi Lauper so aptly sings in "Time After Time", when law students "are lost, they turn and they will find [us]", Academic Support Professionals. We catch them and lift them back up.
After exams or a when facing a rough patch during the semester, students may need to turn to ASP for this lift or for help with creating a new plan for their upcoming semester. If their study strategies or exam performance are subpar, they begin humming, "If I could turn back time" (with Cher's iconic diva-ness echoing in their minds). Reflecting on study habits, legal analysis skills, and exam performance are key components to succeeding in law school. Everyone has moments in their past that they wish they could replay (or delete). Using these moments as opportunities for growth instead of moments of failure, helps students see beyond their initial shock, shame, or disappointment.
Like the Stones, we want our students to sing (and feel) that "time is on my side, yes it is...." While this may not always be realistic, there are many ways to get closer to that dream. Here are a few ideas:
- Create sample study schedules for your students
- Give them calendars and checklists to help them plan their time
- Ask them to keep a journal that tracks how they use their time during a typical day or week and then ask them to reflect on their time management
- Provide a time management workshop or webinar
- Have them draft a to do list at the start of each day and evaluate their progress at the end of each day
- Pair 1L students up with a 2L or 3L mentor to discuss how to effectively schedule their time
- Challenge students to unplug for a block of time each day (This is a good one for all of us!)
- Teach students the art of delegation
- Encourage students to take time each day to recharge.
By establishing routine time management practices, students will feel more balanced and be more productive. Because as Pete Seeger so aptly wrote, there is "a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." We should all spend more time dancing.

Everybody Hurts
Every year, I have a handful of first-year students who do not utilize ASP because they believe that it is only intended for students for whom "something is wrong." They think (or, more precisely, fear that others think) that ASP is for students who don't understand the law, or haven't slept in a week, or have a recurring dream where they are naked in class and the professor is beaning them with copies of the Restatement.
They are not wrong to think that ASP is primarily targeted at struggling students. ASP is usually built around specific programs targeted at students who have already "failed" at one indicator or another (low LSAT, low GPA, failed exams).
The problem is that the perception of ASP as a program for students who can't quite make it means that some students who could greatly benefit from ASP services are not taking advantage of them. They believe either that they "get it well enough" (a common feeling for weak first-year students in the fall) or they are embarrassed to come. In the past, some struggling students have told me that they feel there's something shameful about using ASP. One of the ways I've tried to fight against this problem is to work on "de-pathologizing" struggle in the first year.
The first year of law school should be a struggle. It should stretch students' minds. Law school asks them to think deeply and critically, forces them to analyze all that they think they know, and requires them to participate in class in an utterly new pedagogical style. The question that law school thrusts upon first year students is: How do you know what you think you know? This is not just a matter of learning to think like a lawyer. For some students, it can call into crisis their entire worldview. Of course they struggle. They must struggle, because it's in the struggle itself that thoughtful, critical thinking is born.
We tell them that law school is difficult and that they will think in new ways, study more hours, and do more work than they might have done before in their educational careers. Despite this, some students still seem to get the message that there is something wrong in needing help in that struggle. Perhaps it comes from their peers, or perhaps it's a result of the ease and success they had in undergraduate school. Perhaps it's a message from the larger culture and the image of what a "smart and successful" lawyer should look like. But wherever they are getting it from, the belief that struggling with law school is a sign of weakness is compounding their difficulty.
This year, I have made a great effort to not say things along the lines of "If you're not getting this for some reason..." or "If you need my help..." I have also tried to present coming to workshops, going to tutoring, and seeing me individually simply as something that successful law students do as part of their routine. I think it's worked -- I've had over 100 students at every workshop, and I've had to switch rooms for tutoring because of overflow issues. I've also been emailing as many students as I can to ask them to meet me individually to look over outlines or do sample questions. I've let them know in that email that they aren't being targeted for any other reason than that they were the next name on my list. Finally, I employ 18 tutors, all of whom are in the very top of the class. In hiring the tutors this year, I made sure that as first-year students each of them came to every ASP workshop and went to all of the tutoring sessions available. That way, I can simply point at the very successful tutors and say, "They came to everything -- they utilized services -- nothing was 'wrong' with how they were doing in law school -- they just realized ASP was a good idea -- and look how things turned out."
Luckily, I don't think this perception affects a majority of students. However, year after year, a majority of first-year students who get in serious trouble didn't use ASP when it could have helped them. Consequently, whatever small things I can do to reach students who might not have used ASP are worthwhile. [Alex Ruskell]

Physician, Heal Thyself: Taking My Own Advice
It's summer now. All of the exams are scored, grades assigned. It's time for a little reflection….
It occurred to me at the recent inaugural AASE conference (which was great, by the way!) that
this last year was really busy for me. Not in a "Wow, I surely did accomplish a lot this year" way, but in a "Man,this year was so busy that I feel like I got very little accomplished" way.
If you are like me, then any given day during the semester could look something like this:
9:00 a.m.: Eat breakfast while returning yesterday's e-mails.
9:45 a.m.: Make a to-do list of the things I want to accomplish today.
10:00 a.m.: 1-on-1 meeting with struggling 2L.
10:30 a.m.: 1-on-1 meeting with 1L.
11:00 a.m.: Prep for 1:00 class.
11:15 a.m.: Interrupt prep to meet with a walk-in student.
11:30 a.m.: Return to class prep.
11:45 a.m.: Another drop-in.
12:00 p.m.: Skip lunch to complete class prep.
1:00 p.m.: Teach class.
3:00 p.m.: Return to office for office hours.
4:00 p.m.: Grab lunch.
4:15 p.m.: Eat lunch at desk while reviewing a past exam for the next student meeting.
4:30 p.m.: Place partially eaten lunch on credenza and meet with struggling 1L.
5:00 p.m.: Ask 5:00 appointment to be patient, because the 4:30 meeting is going long.
5:10 p.m.: Begin 5:00 appointment.
5:30 p.m.: Ask 5:30 appointment to wait about 10 minutes.
5:50 p.m.: Apologize to 5:30 appointment for the late start.
6:55 p.m.: End 5:50 appointment, which went over an hour due to my "late start guilt."
6:56 p.m.: Look at partially eaten lunch on credenza. Decide to take a bite.
6:57 p.m.: Throw partially eaten lunch away. It has turned.
7:00 p.m.: Call my wife, and tell her that I'm working late tonight.
7:05 p.m.: Work on faculty committee work.
8:30 p.m.: Begin reviewing today's e-mails.
8:45 p.m.: Begin reviewing student work sent in today's e-mail.
9:30 p.m.: Look at the list of things I meant to accomplish today.
9:35 p.m.: Choose to leave work notwithstanding 90% of my to do list is not done.
9:36 p.m.: Promise to do better tomorrow.
10:15 p.m.: Grab dinner at a drive through to eat at home.
11:00 p.m.: Go to bed.
1:00 a.m.: Wake up with indigestion.
1:05 a.m.: Check e-mail before going back to sleep.
1:10 a.m.: Return e-mail from a troubled student.
1:11 a.m.: Troubled student responds.
1:13 a.m.: Respond to troubled student.
1:15 a.m.: Troubled student responds.
1:17 a.m.: Respond to troubled student with a very clear, "I'll talk to you tomorrow."
1:20 a.m.: Troubled student responds with "just one last question."
1:22 a.m.: Respond to troubled student.
1:25 a.m.: Troubled student responds.
1:30 a.m.: Turn off my phone and promise to e-mail troubled student tomorrow.
Does this seem at all familiar to you? Am I crazy? Because I have to be honest with you, I originally was trying to be funny when drafting the sample day above. But it occurred to me by the time that I finished that it was all too realistic. I absolutely have days like this. A lot of them. And please note that as I string days like these together, there's nothing on that list that says "spend six uninterrupted hours working on scholarly writing" or "go off-campus for a weekly afternoon of community service at local high school" or "work out" or "read for fun" or "eat lunch at a reasonable hour" or "write that blog post that you promised Amy Jarmon months ago."
As I think about this, I wonder how I get anything done. I'm so busy, and there's always so much to do. I'm not complaining, mind you. I like to be busy. But I realize, looking at the schedule above, that my days are so full that a lot is getting missed. I realize now, in my head, that my thoughts sound a lot like a law student's:
"I don't have time to do everything."
"Where am I supposed to find the time?"
"I'm working really hard, but I always feel behind."
"I have so much to read. I can't get anything else done."
"I can't think beyond tomorrow."
"I'm not sure how I'm going to get everything finished."
"I'm not getting enough sleep."
"I don't have much personal time."
"I'm not procrastinating. I just can't get to things until just before they are due."
"I don't know where I'm going to find the time to get all of my work done."
"I guess I'll just do the best I can."
I hear these complaints from law students every day. And I genuinely believe that I give them really good advice. So, I wonder, how might I advise myself? Here is some simple, familiar advice that I now offer to myself, and possibly to those of you who are like me:
1. Make a schedule.
Plan out what you want to accomplish each day. Don't just put "write" or "work" on your calendar. Plan days with detail. For example, set aside reasonable stretches of time to work on
individual tasks. Keep in mind all that you must accomplish in a given day. Set aside time in your schedule to accomplish each task and to complete the tasks overall.
In addition, engage in long-term planning. Look weeks (even months) ahead to see what deadlines exists or what longer projects must be completed. Estimate the amount of total time that you need to complete those projects and then spread the bigger tasks out, working on a little bit at a time, rather than trying to accomplish all of it at once. All nighters are often a reflection of poor planning. If you plan better, hopefully you won't be spending the last day or two before a deadline working insanely to finish your project.2. Focus on one thing at a time.
Even though we all think we can multitask pretty well, you might find it helpful to isolate certain tasks. When writing, find an environment that is free of distractions – though you should know yourself and avoid an environment that is too quiet, if you know you won't be productive there. An hour spent meaningfully on one task is probably more efficient than three hours spent on that one task while simultaneously trying to accomplish other goals or spending those hours in a state of distraction.3. Build in time to care for yourself.
It is important to eat and work out and spend time with family. Don't just expect that time to appear. Plan it out. Put "Lunch" in your schedule, and put "Work Out" in your schedule at specific times. Then, respect those times. From now on, you are unavailable to do work during those times. You're going to feel better if you eat and exercise regularly, and the remaining hours in the day will be more energized and productive.
4. Prioritize tasks.
On busy days, figure out what must be done and what can wait. Reschedule a meeting if you must; ask for extra time on a task when you can. Then spend your day focusing on the most important things but avoiding the guilt about the other, less important things.
5. Do not allow one task to dominate your time.
It is all too easy to get sucked into working on one task to the exclusion of all others. Don't let this happen. Even though you have prioritized tasks, and one seems (or is) more important than the others, do not let that one task allow you to fail on all the others. I see this all the time with my students who are working on writing assignments. The writing assignment is due this week. It will get a grade. It seemingly is the most important thing on the schedule. Students work all day and night on the writing, simultaneously falling behind in reading, outlining, class attendance, and other obligations they have. While working on the paper with extreme multi-day focus is actually an understandable decision when one is taking a snapshot view of a student's life, less so when looking at the "movie" version. Decisions have consequences, even the well-intended decision to focus on only one thing that happens to be due this week.
6. Grind.
Sometimes, you will find yourself in a position where you will have to grind. By that I mean that you will be busy, tired, working late, irritable (is that allowed in ASP?), hungry, and overwhelmed, among other things. But you have to press forward; keep working and check things off of that to do list. Things will settle down, especially if you plan ahead a little better, and you'll be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
7. Just start working.
If you're feeling paralyzed about work, sometimes the best thing you can do is start working. Overwhelmed by the amount of research you need to accomplish in order to write a scholarly article? Just sit down at your computer and start writing the article, figuring out the finer points of research focus as you go. Need to grade exams, just pick one up and start reading it. Need to give Paula Manning-type feedback on a paper, just get started. Need to write a blog post, just tap into your thoughts and get started. Don't worry about perfection, just do some work.
One of my favorite pieces of advice for students who are having trouble outlining is the advice to just get started. The task seems so overwhelming to them, so I say this: Imagine riding a bicycle on flat ground, or maybe even a little uphill. When you first get started, you have to stand up, shifting your weight on the pedals, rocking the bike side-to-side, in order to build momentum slowly. But, after you have momentum, you find that the pedaling is easier, you can sit down on the seat, and you can still keep up your pace with less intense effort. So, dig down and spend a little extra energy to just get started. You'll find that once you do, the going forward is much easier, as is forming the belief that you are able to keep moving forward.
I am going to follow my own advice. Starting today. (Well, maybe tomorrow, because today is almost over.) Ask me at the end of the summer if I finished my article and book. If I don't give you the right answer, point me back to this blog post. Please. Because it's going to be busy in the fall. Really busy. So the time for productivity and accomplishment is now.
Happy and productive summer months, one and all!

Depending on the severity of the problem a series of 4 -12 treatments is suggested. The first four treatments usually occur within the first few days (2 a day at least one hour apart). After there are once a day treatments scheduled over the following three weeks. These treatments are cumulative so the faster they get done the quicker the results are seen. However, due to scheduling concerns you can spread out visits.
Since I started to use the VOM technology I have concluded that animals don't complain. Often owners will tell me their 10, 15, 18 year old dog or cat seems to be slowing down, sleeping more, and not jumping up on the couch or bed as they used to. However they do not think the animal is in any pain. After treating these seemly healthy and not in pain animals with the VOM technology, owners have called up to tell me their pets are more energetic, more active in the house and on walks and in general acting like they are 10 years younger. And often older dogs and cats show greater agility AFTER ONLY ONE TREATMENT!!

What is the best way to freeze crab meat without preparing it before hand ??? I am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks.....Dean
Foodsaver. Just make sure the juice from the crab meat doesn't seal the bag before all of the air is out. You can either put it in the frige or freezer to dry it out some. Tastes just like it came out of the steamer 6 mo later.
The best way to freeze anything is is a vacuum sealed bag. The air is what destroys the stored product..........Gary
first freeze it in a container. when frozen , renove it from the container & vacuum seal it.
We spread the crab meat on a cookie sheet and then freeze it. When frozen we remove the cookie sheet and place the frozen meat in a vac bag and refreeze again.You won't lose any juice. This way if you only want a small portion it is easy to break loose from the frozen pack.
Anyone ever freeze in milk first?
I've had decent success freezing in ziplocks. I do all I can to get all the air out first. The meat tastes OK for crabcakes, but not anything like fresh picked. I need to invest in a vaccume sealer.

In 1994, Jonite pioneered the world's first reinforced decorative stone grating. Incorporating the appeal of stone without jeopardizing load bearing strength, the marriage of aesthetic appeals and efficiency stayed unchallenged in the industry. Inspired by the rustic appeal of natural stone, Jonite was developed through years of comprehensive research and development, led by a team of enthusiastic and dedicated workers.
Created from 95 % natural aggregates and advanced hybrid polymers, Jonite architectural grates supply a surface which is both natural and luxurious to the touch.
The unique material homes of Jonite products which prevents corrosion and corrosion mean they are equally matched to last a lifetime for both indoor and outside applications.
As pioneers and designers, the last thing we want to do is suppress creativity. Our team believe that if you can imagine it, we can develop it, and with Jonite's customized designs including brand-new measurements to your vision, the possibilities are unlimited.
Enhanced with specifically dealt with steel frames, the strength of Jonite grates are world well-known. Having actually coined the word 'stone(reinforced)' for the last twenty years, Jonite gratings are compliant to global load bearing requirements.

Why do Iraq's jihadists keep on coming back? On this week's View from 22 podcast, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross and Freddy Gray (1 min, 29 sec) examine why groups such as ISIS have a habit of disappearing, losing their territorial gains and reappearing more deadly than ever. What can the West do, if anything, to combat the ISIS threat in Iraq? Are we going to see instability in the region for years?
James Forsyth and Isabel Hardman (10 min, 29 sec) also look at the disappearance of hawks in Westminster and why Parliament is so reluctant to intervene in foreign lands. Does the ghost of Tony Blair and Iraq scare off MPs from voicing interventionist feelings? It's also been a terrible week for Ed Miliband — will Labour consider junking their leader? Could his upcoming reshuffle improve his standing before the general election?
Plus, Guido Fawkes' Paul Staines and Evan Harris (22 min, 33 sec) from Hacked Off debate whether Steve Coogan should be involved in Index on Censorship. Is there a conflict between his pro-Leveson press regulation stance and supporting a freedom from censorship organisation?

This is a great product that produces 2 portions of delicious ice cream in about 2 minutes and stays cold to carry on making much more. I play about by using the separate recipe maker jug and making vanilla and then adding to the mix- I added crushed mango and I have made spiced plum. This would be ideal for children to have a go and there are no noisy motors or waiting around. The fact I can make just the quantity required is also a bonus as I would not bother making one portion in an electric machine as I can with this.Buy one and start experimenting with flavour!!

When new doctors have suicidal thoughts, online therapy can help
The research involved about 200 medical interns – residents in their first post-graduate year, which is often one of the most intense periods of doctor training. It often involves 80-hour weeks and overnight hospital shifts dealing with multiple medical crises.
An earlier study of 740 interns found that suicidal thoughts increased almost four-fold during the first three months of residency, said Dr. Constance Guille of the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
Her research group led both studies.
Sarah Dalechek, a first-year psychiatry resident at that university, said her program requires two month-long rotations of 16-hour overnight shifts in an emergency room. She said she became very depressed but had little time to seek help.
The study involved interns at Yale University and the University of Southern California. It used a free online program developed at the National Institute for Mental Health Research at the Australian National University in Canberra. Overall, 12 percent of interns who got online therapy said they had thought about suicide during the year, versus 21 percent of the interns who received four weekly emails with information on depression and where to seek help.
After accounting for initial group differences that could increase chances for depression and suicidal thoughts, the researchers calculated that interns who got the sessions were 60 percent less likely to have those thoughts than the other group.
The online program included sessions about how to put feelings of stress or despair into perspective. For example, a poor test grade or bad performance evaluation might lead to feelings of "I'm not good enough," but the lessons encourage more positive thinking about "how many exams have you passed, to put this failure in a more accurate light," Guille said.
Guille said medical students and residents tend to be high-achieving perfectionists, but that they need to learn "you can't always be perfect in medicine, you have to figure out how to deal with failure."

The mold used for this piece is phenomenal! It has a rococo scalloped edge with raised relief almost an inch down from the rim towards the center of the plate. A transfer of wild flowers has been placed in the well and blue and pink enamel has been used to accent the flowers. The artist has applied raised gold paint on the stems and fern leaves really making the whole plate pop! There are no chips, hairlines or cracks; manufacturing anomalies do exist, the occasional tiny iron speck, dust 'bump' in the glaze, etc.
This definitely would be an asset to any Limoges collection!

Bulldogs Charge Into Third-Place Tie At State Farm MVC Men's Golf Championship
Freshmen Dane Worley (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) and Blake Huser (Altoona, Iowa) helped ignite the Bulldogs' attack in the second round shooting 72 and 75, respectively, to jump Drake from a tie for seventh after the initial 18 holes to a tie for third when the second round was complete.
After registering a 303 score in the opening round, the Bulldogs carded a 292 over the day's final 18 holes, as four Drake players posted scores of 75 or better.
"It was a great team effort today, as Dane (Worley) and Blake (Huser) are tied for 11th, while Ben (Lyons) is tied for 14th place," Drake head coach Matt Lewis commented. "We had a great second round shooting a 292, which allowed us to move up and put ourselves in a position to make a move tomorrow."
"Our opening round was somewhat deceiving as we were about six holes away from playing a really solid round. We got off to a terrific start and played well for 9-12 holes before giving a lot back on the final 5-6 holes."
Worley (76-72=148) and Huser (73-75=148) are tied for 11th place, while one shot off the pace is junior Ben Lyons (Centennial, Colo.), who posted rounds of 76 and 73 to tie for 14th place with a 149 (76-73=149) total. Lyons' second-round 73 equaled his low score of the year set at the Jackrabbit Invitational.
"Ben (Lyons) stepped up after not playing for a few weeks and had a great two rounds, which was huge," said Lewis. "It was definitely a team effort, which is what it takes, and we're looking for the same tomorrow. We played in almost perfect conditions today and we're supposed to have decent weather tomorrow, although windy, so it'll be a good challenge and we have to be mentally tough to fight through and I think the guys are ready."
Redshirt freshman Devin Leland (Huxley, Iowa) followed an opening-round 80 with a 72 for a 152 total, good for a 22nd-place tie.
Sophomore Connor Steele (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) carded a 36-hole score of 161 (78-83=161) to tie for 43rd.
The Bulldogs conclude their regular season with the final 18 holes of the State Farm MVC Championship on Tuesday (May 1). A shotgun start is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.
DRAKE INDIVIDUAL RESULTS: Dane Worley 148 (76-72=148/T-11th), Blake Huser 148 (73-75=148/T-11th), Ben Lyons 149 (76-73=149/T-14th), Devin Leland 152 (80-72=152/T-22nd) and Connor Steele 161 (78-83=161/T-43rd).
1) Wichita State 581 (288-293=581)
2) Evansville 594 (294-300=594)
3) Drake 595 (303-292=595)
Northern Iowa 595 (303-292=595)
5) Creighton 598 (293-305=598)
6) Missouri State 599 (300-299=599)
7) Illinois State 600 (299-301=600)
8) Southern Illinois 609 (297-312=609)
9) Bradley 621 (309-312=621)

Dangling Wrangler's at it again. You know Dangle-babe: He's the base-boy the whole world seems to love no matter how many episodes he efs up, (via himself, the law or the ladies). Indeed, the Dangle dude's been in trouble myriad times with too many drugs, too many women who were married to other men or by just being a plain ol' mean, drunk bastard.
Therefore, the publicist's quick fix was required (rehab and several staged photo shoots with Dangling looking brow-furrowed and fine with fans and such). Worked for a bit. But, then—as usually happens when one cleans up for a press release instead of for a personal mission—Dangling's not only back to the booze and slut races, he's hitting the hard drugs more than ever. Looks like crap, too. But the gals don't seem to mind—they actually like screwing a famous guy who's good (for about five minutes these days) with his huge, never-washed zucchini.
Alas, even the quickie quickies don't do it for D.W. any more. Could that be why he's getting so bored with dumpee broad after dumpee babe that he's now secretly courting his latest unluckiest girlfriend's (very underage) daughter?
Why the hell don't people like this ever get caught? No, in Hollywood, they get Oscars, don't they?

|Home > National News > Article
About 350 clubs and pubs have applied for permission to install about 2300 extra poker machines in their venues in a process that could see machines move from richer to poorer suburbs.
The applications are the first under new rules requiring the applicants to weigh up the adverse social impact against economic benefits of their plans.
These social impact assessments reveal information about the gambling spending in the suburbs concerned, for the first time since the Government stopped making the data cheaply available more than two years ago.
The data shows gamblers in poorer council areas, such as Auburn and Burwood, spend up to $1700 per adult per year - or about four times as much on the pokies as those in the richer ones such as Willoughby, Hornsby and Baulkham Hills.
The suburbs with lower average incomes also contain up to four times the number of poker machines per adult resident as those on the North Shore, according to information obtained by the Herald from more than two dozen social impact assessments.
The biggest application comes from the Balmain Tigers Club SuperDome project, which has applied for an extra 450 machines. Others include the Castle Hill RSL, which wants 150 new machines, the Western Suburbs Leagues Club in Leumeah (85) and the Illawarra Catholic Club in Menai (80).
A spokesman for the Gaming Minister, Richard Face, said approval would be "very hard to get".
If approved, the applicant must buy licences to operate the pokies from an existing operator, creating the opportunity for machines to be shifted from less profitable richer suburbs to poorer ones.
In Burwood, operators make an average of $71,755 profit per machine per year - nearly twice the NSW average, and more than double the $31,927 a year per machine in Goulburn.
Licences for pokies in hotels cost between $150,000 and $200,000 after forfeiting one in every three bought under a law designed to reduce the number of machines in operation. Licences for machines in clubs - which make less profit per machine - are understood to cost about $30,000 each.
According to the assessments, the proposals to move the machines would boost gambling spending in the new location and could increase problem gambling.
The director of the NSW Council for Social Service, Alan Kirkland, said it was very difficult to balance the impact of problem gambling gainst the broader community benefits.
The manager of Wesley Gambling Counselling Services, Rev Chester Carter, said problem gamblers would spend any money they had and pawn anything they could get their hands on.
Sydney City has the highest gambling expenditure per resident, because it is an entertainment centre with relatively few residents. There 28 hotels have applied for a total of 164 additional machines. Overall about 40 clubs and more than 300 hotels have applied to the Liquor Administration Board for extra machines. Only those applying for more than four machines have to conduct the social impact
Operators wanting to move machines from one venue to another more than one kilometre away also have to conduct such an assessment. The information obtained from these assessments is the latest available, although some date back to 2001.

Production to Begin on Movie About UT Football Legend Freddie Steinmark
The director and writer who brought us sports movie greats like "Hoosiers" and "Rudy" is working on a new film about University of Texas football legends Coach Darrell Royal and Freddie Steinmark.
"My All American" will be focused around the 1969 'Big Shootout' National Title game between U.T. and then, big-time rival, Arkansas. The film's publicist, Ernie Malik, says the film will share the uplifting story of Steinmark and the cancer that would ultimately claim his life 18-months later.
"It's a story that has never been told in a film or TV-show and, the writer, Angelo Pizzo, fell in love with the story," he said. "It's a story that football lovers born and raised in Texas have heard about and he wanted to make sure it was told."
It's a movie that will highlight Texas football, Malik said.
"This is a film where they could have saved money by shooting it elsewhere but these film makers said 'we're going to make this movie where it took place,'" Malik said.
Portions of the film will be filmed in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio.
"We're recreating the big shoot out game that took place in Fayetteville Arkansas at the Alamodome," Malik said. "Through the magic of visual effect we will be able to erase the dome and recreate that legendary game."
Anyone wanting to be apart of the film, they are looking for paid extras and anyone with cars from the late 60's to take part in the nine days they will be filming in San Antonio.
"Everyone is welcome, no need to be a professional actor," Malik said. "We are looking for extras to play students, coaches, parents, cheerleaders and sideline football players."
You must be 18 years or older and have a valid Texas Drivers License or ID card to sign up. Extras that are chosen will be paid $58 per day for eight hours of shooting stretched out over the entire nine days. If you cant attend the casting call you can apply online here.
The Casting Call will take place at:
The Hilton Garden Inn
12828 San Pedro
San Antonio, TX 78216
Saturday June 7,
10 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the real ruler of Iran, told President Putin, "In the same way that an independent Iran would benefit Russia, a powerful Russia also would benefit Iran." He argued both nations share a common enemy and he welcomes cooperation with Russia because it has shown support for his nation. The Ayatollah referred to continued American hostility toward his nation and said the United States opposes any country which goes against what it considers to be its national interests. Khamenei pledged, "Cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency is a right and rational move which will be continued and we a re determined to provide our need to nuclear energy and we therefore we seriously pursue enrichment." Putin offered some ideas concerning nuclear energy which Khamenei promised "we will think about your statements and proposals." Putin had proposed a plan which would allow peaceful use of atomic energy.
The Putin-Khamenei discussions once again high light the incompetence of the Bush foreign policy efforts. There were opportunities over the past six years for America to engage in discussions with Iranian leaders but they were rejected by Bush. Instead of America working with Iran, the president of Russia has ensured his nation will be the link between Iran and the outside world. Some day, historians will more critically analyze the missed Bush opportunities to end conflict in the Middle East.
