> 2001 Season Preview
2001 Season Preview
March 8, 2001
AMHERST, MA - Coming off of a 2000 season that left them with a final record of 22-8-1 and a berth in the ECAC Championship Tournament, the 2001 Amherst College softball team will look to a stringent defense and a revamped offense to lead them back to the postseason.
After posting an 8-1-1 record on their annual spring break trip to Fort Myers, Fla., during which the squad pasted wins over NESCAC rival Hamilton College, Keene State College and Framingham State College, the Jeffs returned north to Hills Field. The homecoming to Amherst brought the squad a four-game win streak, including a win over Little Three foe Wesleyan University. The Jeffs went on to win nine out of their next 12 games, taking doubleheader sweeps from Trinity College, Bowdoin College and Westfield State College in the process. The Jeffs dropped two games to Tufts University in Medford late in the season, and then split a doubleheader with Williams College to end their regular season, denying them an NCAA bid from the NESCAC. The Amherst season ended with a 7-3 loss to Clark University in the ECAC Tournament at Wheaton College.
After losing three dominating hitters to graduation-Liza Feldman '00, Melissa Roja '00 and Darcy Sweeney '00-the Jeffs have some big holes to fill at the plate. The three led the Jeffs' offensive attack, with Sweeney batting an impressive .387 and Feldman and Roja following close behind, posting averages of .344 and .330, respectively. Sweeney also led the Jeffs in RBIs, knocking in 27 runners on the year with a pair of round-trippers. Feldman completed the power-hitting heart of the Jeff lineup, and Roja was an indispensable baserunner, stealing 12 bases on the year without being thrown out.
This year, co-captain Carline Kelly '01, along with Missy Mordy '03, should combine to form a powerful one-two punch at the top of the lineup to replace Roja's finesse at the leadoff spot. The meat of the order will revolve around co-captain Meg Nelson '01, who posted a .286 average, .345 slugging percentage and 15 RBIs as a junior. The rest of the lineup will be solid, featuring a core of veterans, along with surprise first-year Gina Scribner '04, who will be a vital component at the plate. The emphasis will turn away from last year's reliance on extra-base hits from the middle of the lineup. Instead, the 2001 offense will rely more on sacrificing and moving runners around the bases as a result of play execution and consistent basehits.
The Jeffs will also be solid defensively, led by pitchers Lauren Peloquin '02 and Emily Melia '03. Peloquin has been dominant so far in her college career, and this year should prove no different. Last season, Peloquin received NESCAC Player of the Week accolades on three separate occasions, while her anemic 1.21 ERA was accentuated by a 17-5 record, during which she struck out 174 of the 563 batters she faced. Melia also posted impressive numbers in her debut season as a Jeff, racking up a 2.18 ERA and a 5-3 record, en route to 24 strikeouts and an opposing batting average of .231. Melia and Peloquin will form a dominating combination on the mound, bringing the Jeffs a solid core of defensive experience.
Surrounding Melia and Peloquin on the field will be a solid Jeff defense. The other half of the Jeff battery will be composed of catchers Becca Binder '02 and Erica Schmeckpepper '03. Mordy will take the hot spot for the Jeffs, returning to the familiar third-base territory that brought her an .874 fielding percentage during her rookie campaign last season. Shari Sakamoto '01 will move from her post in center field during the 2000 campaign to shortstop. Originally a third baseman, Sakamoto will adjust well to the infield role, and her quick reaction time and ability to field in the hole will solidify the left side of the infield for the Jeffs. On the right side of the infield, Kelly will stay her ground at second base. A veteran second baseman, Kelly will lead the generally young infield with her experience. Scribner will round out the infield squad at first base.
In the outfield, Nelson will set the senior example for the fresh-faced group. Accompanying her will be sophomore Erin Dittus, a first year player on the team. Similarly, Tamara Baer '03, Della Huff '04 and Jenna Obelsky '03 will combine to form a young but strong outfield. The Jeffs are coached by Sue Everden, who is assisted by Jen Shea '98 and Gary VanCauwenberge
The squad will travel south to Fort Myers during spring break, where it will play a third of its season, highlighted by the season-opener against conference-rival Hamilton. The NESCAC Tournament for softball, the winner of which receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, places the 11 member schools within two divisions, East and West. Amherst will compete in the West division, as will Hamilton. The Hamilton game will serve two functions. First, it will begin to solidify the Jeff's record within their division. Secondly, it will serve as an indicator of things to come. After the squad returns it will open it's home slate against Brandeis University on March 27. The Jeffs will play through May 2, facing NESCAC schools Bowdoin, Wesleyan, Trinity, Tufts and Middlebury College on the way. The inaugural NESCAC Postseason Tournament for softball will take place from May 4 through May 6, at a location to be determined based on team standings.

Bali's elaborate cremation ceremonies used in the final disposition of human remains, also has a special variant reserved for rats. A ngaben tikus or rat cremation ceremony held by the people of Cemagi village, Mengwi on March 15, 2011 was conducted to help exorcise both the physical and spiritual presence of evil forces which damage local crops.As reported by Kompas.com, the people of Cemagi view the rat cremation, known as a Marataka Mrana Tikus, as an important ritual in their efforts to maintain balance in the cosmos. "In addition to helping to expel unwanted rodents, the ngaben' is based on our belief that all living creatures must be returned to nature even though it is us who have killed these animals," explained local community leader, I Nyoman Renda, who attended the cremation.The hundred of rats to be cremated were captured by local farmers in their fields. Also placed on the funeral pyre were the remains of large snails, bugs, land crabs and snakes captured in their fields and capable of causing harm to essential food crops.The process of cremating the rats resembles in many ways the ceremony used for human cremation. Officiated over by 5 religious leaders, the corpses of the rats were placed on a sacrificial altar (bade) that was carried on the shoulders of local men to the village graveyard. At the graveyard, the rats were transferred to a large wooden effigy of a cow that was eventually set afire."We hope that after the rats are cremated they will be born again to a more nobler status and not have to live on the earth again as a pestilence," explained Renda.When the funeral fires had died, the ashes of the rats were reverently carried to the nearby ocean where they were committed to the waves by a Hindu priest.The "ngaben tikus" ceremony is held once every ten years and cost an estimated Rp. 400 million (US$44,500) that was funded by local donations supplemented with money from the regional government of Badung.

About the Conference
The Cryptographic Module Validation Program Conference 2002 will be held on March 26-27, 2002 at the Washington Plaza Hotel in Washington DC. Sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Security Establishment (CSE), this conference will focus on the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).
The CMVP Conference will include presentations and discussions on the new FIPS 140-2 standard, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, differences between FIPS 140-1 and FIPS 140-2, algorithm testing suites, Common Criteria and the CMVP, a number of panel discussions from Federal and user agencies and a laboratory panel discussion.
Federal agencies and departments are required to comply with FIPS 140-2. This involves the acquisition of validated cryptographic modules (which may be incorporated in a product/application) for protecting sensitive but unclassified data. Cryptographic modules are used to provide security services such as confidentially, integrity, and authentication. FIPS 140-2 provides users with 1) a specification of security features that are required at each security level, 2) flexibility in choosing security requirements and environments, and 3) a guide to ensuring the modules incorporate necessary security features.

But it is far from clear what insight Ms Peris will bring to federal politics. Initial interviews do not indicate she has much policy advice to offer on the deep problems of indigenous people in the NT. In any case, she has no previous political experience.
The sitting senator,
Her choice would then seem to be a hasty policy response to the problem of Labor's bad showing at the NT election in August, which featured a marked backlash against Labor among indigenous voters. That same sort of hasty policy making resulted in Peter Slipper becoming speaker, indicating that the Prime Minister has not learnt from the experience.

Video: Eddie Vedder Joins Bruce Springsteen for "Highway to Hell"
by Rob Slater on February 15, 2014
Melbourne, Australia played host to a rock royalty reunion as Eddie Vedder jumped on stage with Bruce Springsteen for a cover of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell." Vedder, along with The E Street Band and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, shared vocals on the tune with The Boss. Morello picked up the guitar slack, ripping a devastating solo.
The Pearl Jam frontman and Springsteen have collaborated several times in the past, most recently in 2012 during Bruce's show at Wrigley Field. Vedder, a lifelong Cubs fan, joined in for "My Hometown," "Atlantic City" and "Darkness on the Edge of Town." Watch the replay of "Highway to Hell" below.

Who Are 'We'?
Languages have special words that help keep track of the people we speak of, words like I, you, he, she, and we. The languages of Mexico are sometimes clearer about this than English is.
In English when a person talks about himself, he says "I". When a person talks to someone, he says "you". When a person speaks of someone else, he says, "he" or "she".
But when a person says "we" he can be saying two different things. He can be talking about himself and the person he is talking to. Or he can be talking about himself and someone else.
Many languages of Mexico have two words for 'we.' Izthmus Zapotec is one of those languages. In Zapotec, nu means 'you and I', but du means 'he or she and I'.

In October 2009, New York Times reporters Tara Siegel Bernard and Ron Lieber compared a hypothetical married couple with an equivalent-earning unmarried gay couple, to see just how much difference those extra privileges made. Here's what they found:
In our worst case, the couple's lifetime cost of being gay was $467,562. But the number fell to $41,196 in the best case for a couple with significantly better health insurance, plus lower taxes and other costs.
This is unfair. The solution? Bernard and Lieber argue that "the federal government [should legalize] same-sex marriage." But in fact, legalizing gay marriage only solves the problem for a few. Many more single people (gay and straight)—more than half of the population—continue to suffer from institutionalized singlism, the discrimination of individuals based on marital status.

As the euro zone heads for a bitter break-up, with the rising likelihood that Greece and perhaps Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland will all have to exit, global resource markets have never needed China quite as much as they do now.
China and to a lesser extent India are the last remaining bastions of support for commodities.
China is preventing a complete and devastating price collapse, a fall that would trigger recession in the Australian economy and a dramatic slide in the Australian dollar. It is a dangerous and very uncertain walk for Australia's miners and investors.
But the white flag has not gone up just yet.
The miners and the giant global investment funds believe that the magic of China will hold global resource markets together.
The great danger is that the investment funds will lose their bottle. And they have such market power, with $US120 trillion under management – more than 10 times US gross domestic product – that they alone could trigger an almighty market collapse.
These funds are locked into a type of prisoners' dilemma. They are too big to escape, or at least too big for all of them to escape. The first few might take money out but the last few would be slaughtered.
They know that the structural weaknesses in the global economy threaten to destroy commodity markets, but they also know that aggressive selling by several could trigger a stampede and that global economic fundamentals –other than perhaps China – will do little to stop prices collapsing.
So far the funds have remained confident that China can weave its magic. And China has miraculously been able to counterbalance the wave of poor economic news from the West.
This is somewhat concerning because price levels reflect global economic boom conditions rather than economic crisis.
It seems almost certain that Europe will face deeper and darker problems. Italy, the world's third largest debt market, is facing paying interest costs on new bond issues of close to 8 per cent.
Italy cannot service interest costs such as this. But it may be able to hold its place in the euro zone. The Italian economy, while not healthy, is not chronically ill like that of Greece and other southern European nations.
Italy has high debt levels but a greater proportion of Italian debt is domestically funded. Italy's annual budget deficits are small and its banking sector is relatively sound.
Aggressive reforms – such as a sell-down of state assets, and austerity – might work if supplemented by a massive International Monetary Fund/European Union bailout.
But an aggressive austerity program is likely to push the Italian economy into recession. And whether Italy can revive, when it remains shackled by a strong euro rather than weak lira, remains a big question. Austerity, asset sales and bailouts do nothing to restore Italy's economic competitiveness.
Greece, on the other hand, is already on its way out of the euro zone and as it re-adopts the drachma, a complete default on all euro-denominated debt is very likely. This is because the drachma will collapse and erode the ability of Greece to either service or repay loans denominated in euros.
Along with the US, the big European economies, including France and Germany, are all talking austerity. Spending cuts guarantee an economic slowdown, and the US is especially in danger if the Republicans get control. This is hardly an environment that points to bull markets.
But there's still China. Whether resource markets completely unravel or simply fade a little further will depend almost solely on the economic health of China.
China's growth may be slowing but it looks set to continue to enjoy strong growth over the medium term. Growth is slowing because of tight monetary policies that aim to dampen inflation and the property market. It is also slowing because of the impact of slower global growth on Chinese exports.
But recent economic data present a set of Goldilocks-type numbers. Inflation is slowing and looks set to slow some more over the next few months, while growth is slowing – but not too much.
Inflation slipped to 5.5 per cent in October, down from 6.1 per cent in September, but growth and investment spending remain buoyant. Industrial production in October rose by 13.8 per cent while fixed asset investment, the primary driver of Chinese growth, rose by 24.9 per cent over the 10 months from January to October.
There is some concern that slower construction activity may dent steel production and commodity demand.
Residential floor space under construction fell 6.1 per cent year-on-year in October and sales fell 9.9 per cent year-on-year, while starts also slowed sharply.
However, falling inflation and slower construction are expected to open the way for Beijing to begin to loosen monetary policies and move back towards pro-growth policies.
It is a lot easier for China to rekindle growth than it is for Europe and the US. To begin with, China does not have to produce demand – or tile the bottoms of rivers.
There is real pent-up demand in China for everything from apartments and cars to new factories and new roads.
Urbanisation continues at a rate of more than 10 million people a year. This is a massive driver of infrastructure and construction activity, which in turn drives the demand for resources.
China also has the financial ability to do something. Chinese interest rates are not zero as in the West. The one-year borrowing cost is 6.56 per cent and deposit rates are at 3.5 per cent.
China can easily pull back rates. As well, it can significantly loosen the now very tight reins on lending. And China has a strong balance sheet with which it can fund further fiscal stimulus.
Finally, Chinese leaders know that without economic growth their totalitarian regime will be under threat. The Chinese Communist Party, now that it has embraced capitalism, is left with only one ideology, and that is growth. Beijing will do everything it can to maintain economic growth at above 8 per cent.
But China alone cannot save commodity markets. The country accounts for, on average, about 40 per cent of total world demand for commodities. Growth in China of 8 per cent-plus may well slow down an eventual slide in commodity prices, but it is not enough to trigger a sustainable rise.

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

In the recent years of football, the role of the Kicker has greatly increased in determining a win and a loss. Whether it has been going 1 for 4, missing two game- winning field goals, or hitting a clutch field goal putting the team up 10 (I love Mitch Redd), the Kickers have more pressure on them now than ever before.
In the past, the PAT used to be a given. You would see the ball go up and through the uprights nearly every time. However now more kicks are being blocked and shanked and its because of more pressure due to the severity of a situation or an army of 11 guys rushing to stop that kick. It's more of a psychological aspect than anything. The kicker must be able to maintain composure to hit the ball straight and powerful to get their team the points they need and in a game where defenses are more powerful than ever, every point counts.
One tactic that most football coaches use is "icing the kicker". In this situation the opposing coach will call a timeout right before the kick to put more pressure on the kicker. Most people think its a stupid strategy and doesn't work, but according to the New York Times, studies show that the kicker's probability of making a 40-55 yard field goal drops 10% which could decide between a win or a heartbreaking loss. As QB Drew Bledsoe put it "When you're the kicker, you're either the hero or the loneliest guy in the world."
In football today, where defenses are more stacked and powerful than ever, every possession with the ball is critical and any points gained are hard earned, which could make a difference later on in the game for whether you need a field goal to tie the game or win the game. Next to the Quarterback, the kicker is probably the most important player in that locker room because of the constant pressure they're under whenever they take their steps back and prepare to kick the ball through the uprights. Whether its for one point or three points, the kicker determines the difference between getting a ring or having a long, bus ride home.

Pride and joy
Date published: 14 May 2014
TONIGHT the Chronicle produces a special edition to mark the 160th anniversary of the business.
And what better place to herald one of the newspaper's biggest successes in recent decades — The Pride in Oldham Awards — and announce the launch of the 2014 search for award winners?
Now in its 13th year, Pride in Oldham celebrates the countless hours of hard work and selfless deeds carried out by Oldham people from all walks of life.
Since the awards began in 2002, more than 100 fantastic winners have walked the red carpet and hundreds more have been honoured as finalists.
There are plenty still of worthy people out there: individuals and groups who go above and beyond the call of duty, from charity stalwarts and groundbreaking groups to dedicated professionals and super schools.
The search starts today for this year's crop of unsung heroes who deserve their moment in the spotlight and recognition for all they have achieved.
Nominations can be made for a range of categories: Voluntary, Professional, Group, Business, Health Worker, Education Worker, Schools and Special Achievement.
Closer to the awards dinner on November 14, readers will get the chance to choose the winner of the Chronicle Readers' Choice award from across the categories.
And don't forget two recently-added categories: Love Where You Live — which recognises those who have made a special effort under the council-inspired community project; and Oldham Ambassador, for people who are promoting Oldham to the rest of the country and beyond.
An independent judging panel will assess all the nominations and draw up a shortlist of three finalists in each category.
This year the awards will continue to have the magnificent support of several local businesses.
Molnlycke have been Pride sponsors since the start and JW Lees brewery and The Stoller Charitable Trust have long been stalwart supporters.
Pride in Oldham is now part of the "Oldham on the Map" family of events which includes the business awards, sports awards and mayor's ball. First Choice Homes Oldham, Wilmot Dixon and Nov Mono Pumps are all supporters of the "Map" journey.
Chronicle managing editor David Whaley said: "The Chronicle has shown its commitment to Oldham over 160 years and it is humbling that we can play our part in acknowledging some of the inspirational people of the borough."
Two nominee for the 2014 Pride in Oldham Awards should be Save Diggle Action Group and Foxdenton and District Protection Group. Might make a few within the council uncomfortable, but who cares?

Edmonton Eskimos GM Ed Hervey has seen draft from both sides
By GERRY MODDEJONGE, QMI Agency
It wasn't all that long ago that Ed Hervey had a player's perspective of draft day.
And it's an experience that is serving him well as he heads into his first CFL draft as the Edmonton Eskimos general manager Monday.
"I ran track for three years and played football my entire life," said the University of Southern California product, who played eight seasons with the Eskimos in an all-star career.
But before he got to the CFL, Hervey was drafted in Round 5, 166th overall, by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1995 NFL draft.
"I've gone through every process, from being recruited by S.C. and UCLA and all that, to going to the NFL combine and going through all that," said Hervey, who retired after the 2006 season and celebrated his 40th birthday over the weekend. "You tend to see the process and how it works.
"And you talk. A lot of it, you remember."

Commemorating the recent opening of their Montreal denim boutique, Tate + Yoko, Naked & Famous aligns with fellow Japanese denim producer, The Flat Head, to offer a pair of meticulously crafted pre-shrunk selvedge denim jeans. Utilizing N&F's "Weird Guy" silhouette, the fit is great for denim fanatics who love the styling of The Flat Head but have yet to see them with a slim, low-rise design like this. As for all models manufactured by the aforementioned denim supplier, the 14.5 oz denim was made in Japan on vintage machinery and features vertical fading, tonal or hidden stitching on the back pockets, and hidden iron and copper rivets. Unfortunately, only 50 units were made, so head over to either the Montreal-based shop Tate + Yoko or here to get your pair with a price tag of $285 USD.

Taking a balanced approach to 2013
The drought has presented challenges for all aspects of the agriculture industry. If you ask Bluffton, Ind. based Bryan Smith, District Sales Manager for Seed Consultants, the question he hears most often from farmers is: "Will there be enough seed this year?".
"The past two years have been challenging for everyone," he says. "Some companies lost seed production and then there wasn't carry-over seed. So across the industry there is a shortage. For those that may not have their seed confirmed – they need to do that immediately."
In planning for the 2013 growing season – Smith says farmer should take a balanced approach. "If we looked at this year – and based decisions solely off of this year – I would tell my guys to plant late and to plant late maturing hybrids," he says. "BUT we know it is going to change next year. I would tell everyone to just continue a balanced approach and to spread risk between different hybrids."
The biggest thing, Smith says, is putting the right genetics on the right the ground.

CBS' annual Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials special is undergoing a makeover. Gone is longtime host Jim Nantz, who co-hosted with Lara Spencer for the past two years. This year, CBS Sports' NFL analyst Boomer Esiason and former The Biggest Loser star Jillian Michaels will co-host the special, slated to air February 1. Additionally, CBS is making the program, essentially a parade of commercials, even more sponsor-friendly by counting down the 10 greatest Super Bowl commercial brands vs. individual commercials. Featured in this year's special are Budweiser, Bud Light, Careerbuilder.com, Coke, Doritos, E*Trade, FedEx, GoDaddy.com, Pepsi and Victoria's Secret. Voting is now open.
CBS Tweaks Super Bowl Commericals Special With New Hosts & Format
2 Comments
First, Jillian Michaels is inexplicably added to a show called The Doctors, and it was almost comical to watch as they stretched and struggled to fit her into the segments, on most of which she had absolutely nothing informative to add. Maybe that's why she hasn't been on for some time; maybe she's just been busy.
Now she's co-hosting a show about the Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials because…why, exactly? She's an expert on pro football? No. Because she's shot a few commercials? I guess.
Nothing against her, as she is doing what she's supposed to do in terms of extending her "brand" beyond the show that made her and where she was a perfect fit. Just not sure why people keep hiring her for shows where she brings nothing to the table.
If they just wanted a quasi-celebrity, Pamela Anderson was probably available. Or one of the Kardashians. They would have as much reason to be there as she does.
Now the networks are going to berate us with this woman…she's on two other networks, doing silly commercials for GoDaddy.com and on that show the Doctors. Hoping nobody watches this special on CBS, especially with that blowhard Esiason on there.

(Approved October 30, 1998)
Issues: Is the Office of the Guardian ad Litem sufficiently similar to the Attorney General's Office to render it a "government agency" within the meaning of the Utah Rules of Professional Conduct, and if so, does Rule 1.10 concerning imputed disqualifications, apply to the Office of the Guardian ad Litem? Does Rule 1.11, "Successive Government and Private Employment," apply to the Office of the Guardian ad Litem?
Opinion: Both rules apply to the Office of the Guardian ad Litem. For purposes of Rule 1.10 the Office of the Guardian ad Litem is a "firm," but the Office of the Guardian ad Litem's government sponsorship and statutory duties also make that office a "government agency" for Rule 1.11 application. Under the Rules, the terms "firm" and "government agency" are not mutually exclusive and, in certain cases as with the Office of Guardian ad Litem both terms apply. Application of Rule 1.10 and Rule 1.11 serves to maintain confidentiality without unduly hampering the Office of the Guardian ad Litem from performing its duty to protect the best interests of children through hiring qualified attorneys.
Analysis: In response to an inquiry from the Office of the Guardian ad Litem, the Ethics Advisory Opinion Committee previously decided that that office is a "firm" for purposes of imputed disqualifications under Rule 1.10.1The Office of the Guardian ad Litem has submitted another request asking the Committee to reconsider the conclusion of Opinion 95-08 and to find that Rule 1.11 is the appropriate rule to apply to that office instead of Rule 1.10. As a request for reconsideration of a prior opinion, this request was not timely filed under our rules.2Nevertheless, because the request also raises a somewhat new issue involving Rule 1.11, we will grant a waiver of the 30-day requirement of Rule V(e)(1) and treat this as a late-filed request for reconsideration under our Rules of Procedure.
In Opinion 95-08, we found that the opportunity to discuss cases with other Guardian ad Litem attorneys, access to common files and common supervision required the Office of the Guardian ad Litem to be considered as a firm for Rule 1.10 purposes. It is, accordingly, subject to the application of rules dealing with conflicts, including Rule 1.7 and its companion rule, Rule 1.10.
For these purposes, the Office of the Guardian ad Litem is not a government agency similar to the Attorney General's Office. First, the Utah Constitution broadly mandates that the Attorney General shall represent all the State officers, whose departments sometimes have conflicting interests, as well as undertake any other duties provided by law.3The Office of the Guardian ad Litem's statutory mandate is narrowly defined and limited to representing minors before the court.4
Second, the Attorney General does not always represent specific clients, while the Office of the Guardian ad Litem's statutory purpose is to represent the best interests of specific individual clients. For the purposes of determining whether an organization is a "firm" within the meaning of Rule 1.10, the identification of the structure and client is far more important than is the source of funding. Despite the fact that the government pays for the Office of the Guardian ad Litem, the office can still be a "firm" for conflicts purpose. For example, the government may hire a law firm to represent poor people in their personal law suits. This may be the only thing that the law firm does, and the government's funding may be the only source of income. Nevertheless, the law firm would still be a "firm" within the meaning of Rule 1.10.
For these reasons, the Office of the Guardian ad Litem is different from the Attorney General's Office, and we reaffirm our decision in Opinion 95-08 that the Guardian ad Litem is subject to full application of Rule 1.10.
We next turn to Rule 1.11, which deals with the ethical obligations of lawyers who move between government positions and private practice. In considering the applicability of Rule 1.11 to the Office of Guardian ad Litem, we note that Rule 1.10 and 1.11 are not mutually exclusive. The Guardian ad Litem's request makes the foundational assumption that only one of these rules should apply to it. We do not reach this conclusion. For the reasons detailed in Opinion 95-08 and outlined above, the Office has firm-like characteristics for purposes of Rule 1.10. Yet, there are similarities between the Office of the Guardian ad Litem and the Attorney General's Office. Both offices' attorneys operate without some of the personal economic motivations of private-firm attorneys, as the attorneys receive a salary and not an hourly rate or a contingency fee.5The attorneys also serve the public interest, find the best solutions possible rather than serve only a client's desires, and are employees of the State for the purposes of indemnification.6Thus, the Office of the Guardian ad Litem does share qualities with the Attorney General's Office that allow for Rule 1.11 application.
As a government agency for Rule 1.11 application, the Guardian ad Litem can perform its statutory duties by hiring qualified attorneys while maintaining high ethical standards. Removing Rule 1.11 as a barrier for the Office of the Guardian ad Litem to hire qualified attorneys does not relax the individual lawyer's responsibilities under Rules 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10. The Office of the Guardian ad Litem can employ procedures to screen conflicting lawyers from compromising client confidences.
An effective screen needs to be in place before the potential for improper disclosure exists7and will contain the following types of elements: (1) a prohibition against the disqualified attorney from any participation, discussion, or information regarding the conflicting matter, (2) a restriction on access to files concerning the matter as well as on access to the disqualified attorney's files and, (3) a memorandum circulated throughout the firm concerning the conflict of interest.8
Conclusion: Utah Rules of Professional Conduct 1.10 and 1.11 both apply to the Office of Guardian ad Litem: The office is a "firm" for purposes of Rule 1.10; and it is a "government agency" for purposes of Rule 1.11.

In Utah Code Ann. § 63-30-2 (Supp. 1997), a government entity is defined as a political subdivision. The Attorney General's Office is a political subdivision.

Awkward "Today" Show Fiancee Swears She Really Was Happy To Be Proposed To On Live TV, Really
"It was so amazing to be proposed to on live TV! … I had no idea the "interview" was actually a planned, surprise on-air proposal, hence my shock. The element of surprise did prevail and it was the happiest moment ever! I really could not have asked for anything more. … I am unhappy about the recent backlash that was received from my on-air engagement to Chirag [Shah]. He does not deserve to be labeled self-centered on feminist websites like Jezebel critiquing the entire experience when he is the most thoughtful person I know. I am moved by the beautiful proposal he arranged out of a genuine intention to make me happy. All of my close friends and family members cried when they saw it because of how sweet it was. My time on the show was never supposed to be about my work as it was about a proposal Chirag wanted to surprise me with on our four-year anniversary. … It was disappointing for people to apply their own lens and cultural biases to interpret that I was pissed off and upset about not getting to speak about my work."
Last week, the Internet cringed when a woman named Simone Jhingoor appeared on "The Today Show" and began to speak about her non-profit Women's Housing and Economic Development Corporation … only to be awkwardly interrupted by her boyfriend, Chirag Shah, who proceeded to tell her she wasn't on the show to talk about her job, she was there because he wanted to propose! As Jhingoor clenched uncomfortably, looking irritated, her boyfriend literally grabbed the microphone from Al Roker and asked her to marry him on live TV. It's not that the intended sentiment wasn't sweet; it was that the execution means when you search "awkward marriage proposal," theirs comes up on the first page of Google.
Shah immediately got bopped for duping his now-fiancee into thinking she'd be speaking about a very worthy cause, as well as proposing on live television to someone who so clearly seemed uncomfortable with it. But here's Jhingoor in an interview with YourTango, insisting — methinks a bit too much — that she was thrilled, thrilled about her on-air engagement! Um, not sure we believe you, but okay. I'm not quite sure why she is now saying "my time on the show was never supposed to be about my work," because it clearly wasn't — she just thought it was. But whatever, maybe this whole awkward affair actually ended up drawing more attention to her nonprofit in the long run! [YourTango]

It was just over a month ago that I was helping to set up for the press preview of Ellsworth Kelly: Sculpture on the Wall. The preview started at noon, but we had film crews and members of the press showing up as early as 10:30 am. After telling one journalist that he was quite early and the artist wouldn't be arriving for another hour, he replied, "Yes, but this is Ellsworth Kelly; it's like getting to see the Rolling Stones." I laughed, but then realized I felt the same way.
So in honor of the artist who recently turned 90 (and received the National Medal of the Arts from President Obama this week), I wanted to show a clip of him sharing some early memories of when he received the commission for the monumental Sculpture for a Large Wall as a young artist in the 1950s.
Have you had a chance yet to see Sculpture for a Large Wall in its return to Philadelphia? It's on display in the Roberts Gallery through September; let us know what you think.

Schlemiel! Schlimazel!
Having read those two words, you'll have that "Laverne & Shirley" song in your head for the rest of the day.
Schlemiel! Schlimazel!
Having read those two words, you'll have that "Laverne & Shirley" song in your head for the rest of the day.
You're welcome.
A song that can instantly make you think of a decades-old sitcom seems a solid testament to the power of TV theme music.
Even though you don't hear theme songs as much on prime time anymore, the TV theme has been remarkably resilient. These days, it lives on at the far reaches of your remote control. Cartoons, Spanish-language stations and premium cable shows all show a love of a good opening ditty. There are even home-made, fake title sequences on YouTube created by viewers honoring their favorite shows.
So, obviously, people like TV themes. Why don't network executives? They've been trying to kill them off since the 1990s, when "Seinfeld" opened with a funky -- but very quick -- bass line.
Some blame it on network consultants fretting over viewers' itchy remote fingers.
"The idea was that you had to immediately close in your audience like quicksand, and a theme song that would provide nothing new was an invitation to check out other channels," said Bob Thompson, professor of media and popular culture at Syracuse University.
Oddly, though, the TV theme seems designed specifically for short attention spans. Super-catchy songs would pithily sum up the show, either directly ("Here's the story/Of a man named Brady"), or indirectly ("Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA"). You were brought up to speed in 60 to 90 seconds.
Now, TV themes go by in a flash.
Take, for instance, the theme of "Ugly Betty." Chipper and jaunty, it fits the show perfectly, but it's only 11 seconds long. Emmy-winning composer Jeff Beal, who wrote it, has mixed feelings about compliments he gets for it. On the one hand, it's great that you like it. But it's only 11 seconds long.
"I think they're making a mistake," Beal, who also wrote the exotic-sounding "Rome" theme, said of programmers' decision to downplay theme music. "Over time, those pieces tend to serve as an element to which the audience is attached and bonded to the show."
These songs also provide cultural reference points. After a single viewing of "The Andy Griffith Show," you'll be whistling the theme. Your colleagues' workspaces are looking like a junk yard? Hum a few bars of "Sanford & Son," and they'll get the hint. Nothing says "1970s kitsch" like pointing with both hands like Isaac the Bartender from "The Love Boat" and singing a few bars of "Love, exciting and new/Come aboard/We're expecting you!"
It's a unique art, and one that doesn't always get respect. Songwriter Melissa Mulligan describes a bad song on the radio with the withering assessment, "Sounds like a TV theme." But she gives the craft its due, saying a good theme "must be incredibly difficult to write."
"You have to write something that is so catchy, it sticks like glue to the brain but doesn't make the viewer want to throw the remote at the TV upon hearing it," she wrote in an e-mail.
There's no need to relegate the TV theme to nostalgia. There's still good stuff.
On premium cable, you have "Rome," which was nominated for an Emmy last year. Showtime's "Masters of Horror" won the Emmy last year and boasts some effectively creepy music. "Weeds" and "The Wire" both use older songs (the folk classic "Little Boxes" and Tom Waits' "Way Down in the Hole," respectively), but commissioned well-known artists to record new versions.
Cartoons also do well by the theme. "The Simpsons," "Family Guy" and "South Park" have some of the most infectious intros on TV. The Cartoon Network had two of its themes nominated for Emmys in 2005.
There's also the phenomenon of Web surfers uploading on YouTube their own TV title sequences. The most popular subject of the faux title sequence is "Lost," which in proper form has no theme outside of a brief hum while the word "Lost" floats on the screen.
This may be a simple case of people with way too much time on their hands, or it could be symptomatic of a psychological void left by the absence of a theme song.
In either case, Beal is both amused and encouraged to hear of this.
"People are taking matters into their own hands."

Cytologic evaluationCell evaluation; Cytology
Cytologic evaluation is the analysis under a microscope of cells collected from a part of the body. This is done to determine what the cells look like, and how they form and function.
The test is usually used to look for cancers and precancerous changes. It may also be used to look for viral infections in cells. The test differs from a biopsy in that only cells are examined, not pieces of tissue .
The Pap smear is a common cytologic evaluation that looks at cells from the cervix. Some other examples include:
- Cytology exam of pleural fluid
- Cytology exam of urine
- Cytology exam of sputum

Jay Z will design a holiday collection for Barneys
The iconic NYC artist pairs up with the equally iconic NYC store for its annual holiday collection—and yes, that means a Jay Z window display.
Wed Sep 25 2013
Photograph: Jon Klemm
The seasonal creep seems to begin earlier and earlier every year—we saw pumpkin beer on shelves in early August, for God's sake—so of course we're already talking about Christmas. But with an event as cool as this, we're okay with it: WWD reported today that a rumored collaboration between Jay Z and Barneys on the store's annual holiday collection has been confirmed, and will launch on November 20.
This isn't the first time that Barneys has paired with a major cultural figure for its yearly holiday displays: Disney, Lady Gaga and Saturday Night Live have all crafted windows for the company in the past. This year's theme will be "A New York Holiday" (fitting for the "Empire State of Mind" rapper, we suppose), and will feature an in-store installation, products designed by Proenza Schouler and Balenciaga, and, yes, holiday windows. (No word yet on what those will include, but might we suggest a tiny Barclays Center, a model of Lucali, and wee little dolls of Blue Ivy and Beyoncé?)

Can someone edit this title, can I? Chance should be Odds
Last edited by spazzxb; 01-12-2011 at 12:05 AM.
about 50/50. there are more 'winnable' games than 'loseable' games left in the season. enough to make up the difference. given that they will win some games they should lose and lose some games they should win, they have a fairly even chance of pulling it off. even higher chance if they end the season with the usual late push.
but there is little margin for bad play. it is much easier to lose winable games than win loseable games.
by november, hopefully no one will care about this season. either they will be ing about the new free agent PF or wondering if there is ever going to be basketball again.
I think we'll get back. We always get that spurt of wins at the end of the season, and it doesn't even really matter because this year even 36 wins will get us an eighth seed.
But if we get to .500 that will be better.
i sa its 50 50 by the end of next week, if dirk doesnt play tonight and we ive it our all and beat chicago we can beat the warriors clippers and portland.. IMO
25%, and that's with optimism.
I'm really thinking nil, but to be optomistic, I put 25%. I think the hole's too deep and gonna get deeper.
"But, first, let us now praise famous moments, because something happened Tuesday night in Indianapolis that you can watch a lifetimes worth of professional basketball and never see again. There was a brief, and very decisive, and altogether unprecedented, outburst of genuine officiating, and it was directed at the best player in the world, and that, my dear young person, simply is not done."
i asked steve kyler and heres his response
mike in indy:
pacers get above .500 at the end of the month?
Steve Kyler:
No... they'd have to run the table which they will no do.
They are @Dallas, host Chicago, @the Clippers, @Golden State, @Portland, @Denver, host Orlando, host New Jersey, @Chicago and host Toronto.
They could go 5-5 over this stretch, but that's a tough stretch.
They wouldn't have to "run the table" (that means they would have to go 10-0, Steve) but they would have to go 8-2.
Since 1% is not an option, I selected 10%. If everything falls into place, I can see us making another late-season run to get close to .500, but not over.
100% because next October we will start out 0-0
I say there is a 75% chance that by the end of February they'll be back at .500. They still have a lot of winnable games left in the season. It all depends on how long O'Brien sticks with the current starting 5 and rotation. I think the rotation in place now gives them a much better chance at winning
0-0 is .000, not .500.
Yeah but I bet we win one of our first two games next season.
thats what i meant
We're only 5 games below .500 and this is a decent .500 or higher team so hopefully they get out the month+ slump.
Even though we played one of our easier games last night, the team was playing well offensively like they did earlier in the season.
Why so much doom and gloom? This is our hardest stretch of the year, and we still almost beat the spurs and knicks just recently. We do a much better job of winning the games we should this year, I think it's 75 percent were back up to .500 at some point. The schedule is not always going to be so brutal.
'm just not seeing it. All I see is this team trying to do what it's done for the last 2 seasons and that isn't conducive to winning basketball.
0%... We're just not that good of a team.
As Bill Parcells said, "You are what your record says you are!"
I want to be wrong because I'm optimistic in nature!
...Still "flying casual"
Records change and teams improve. Comparing our record to football is like giving up on a 3-4 NFL team(a 7-9 team just won a game/series in the playoffs). I also want to bump this.

Skin Highlighters
To prolong a summer glow, select one of these complexion enhancers. Use a powder if your skin is normal to oily, a cream or a stick if it's dry. Apply highlighter to the elevated areas of the face only (the tops of cheekbones, the brow bones, and down the nose) to subtly catch the light. Overdose and you'll look glittery—or greasy.

- Effective immediately, the European Union has banned all sales of cosmetics containing ingredients that have been tested on animals. A couple of loopholes: if an ingredient is classified as "pharmaceutical" and has been tested on animals, it's fine, and as for products made outside of the EU using animal tests, they can still be sold if manufacturers can prove their safety without using data based on said animal tests. Hmmmm. [Sustainable Business]

- Where's your sense of humor at, Cartier? The jewelry brand is all tight about the use of their name for a vulgar play on words. Does "Cuntier" ring a bell? [Huffington Post]

As the European Union (EU) pushes member states to implement laws to control spam (unsolicited e-mail), it seems that many businesses in the U.K., where the laws have been put in place, don't see it as a big problem.
The U.K. Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI's) biennial Information Security Breaches Survey, conducted by a consortium led by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PWC), found that while nearly all U.K. businesses receive spam, the amount they receive varies and only one in 10 companies consider it a serious problem, PWC said in a statement on Thursday.
The report comes the same day the EU sent a final warning to eight member states, telling them that they must include EU-wide laws on controlling spam in their national laws.
While the U.K. has already adopted the EU spam law, the DTI found that only one in five companies have bothered with filtering products, and a third of businesses don't consider spam an issue. It was unclear whether this was due to the law having been effective or unnecessary in the U.K.
While the number of U.K. companies using e-mail as an "important business communications channel" rose from 80 percent two years ago to 93 percent now, a third of the companies questioned don't consider spam a problem. Small businesses, in particular, are not keen to spend money on filtering software. Less than half, 44 percent, of large U.K. businesses have spam filters in place, and overall the figure is 20 percent.
However, 55 percent of the companies polled said that the amount of spam they receive is increasing, and it may become a problem in future, PWC said.
Kit Constable, infrastructure manager for U.K.-based Numerica Business Services Group, said Thursday what while Numerica does get a lot of spam, "we find it's not a problem. (Microsoft Corp.'s) Outlook 2003's built-in spam filter copes with it."
Numerica's IT department didn't want to set filter levels, preferring for users to decide what to read and what to delete, he said. While the company had looked at various spam filters, including one offered by Numerica's virus protection supplier MessageLabs Ltd., "really, Outlook's filter is just so good we don't need it," he said.
While U.K. businesses don't seem too perturbed by spam, international efforts to combat it have increased.
In February, the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) held a conference in Brussels on spam, and urged governments around the world to step up antispam efforts. Spam accounts for over half of all e-mails, the OECD said.
Major Internet players are also getting tough on spam. Earlier this month, America Online Inc., EarthLink Inc., Microsoft and Yahoo Inc. joined forces to sue 220 alleged spammers under the U.S. CAN-SPAM (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing) law that came into effect in January.
The survey's full results will be announced at InfoSecurity Europe in London, April 27 to April 29.
