Don't make excuses. Make good. I love this quote—words to live by! I decided to record a video of this drawing because people have seemed to enjoy seeing the process in the past. The filming angle isn't great—which is due to my crappy setup. I'm hoping to figure out a way to record more overhead soon.

Additional Questions?
Contact MMP Staff Attorney Clay Wilson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Moderate Means Program
See what students are saying about the Moderate Means Program.
What is the Moderate Means Program?
The Moderate Means Program (MMP) is an ATJI Partnership Project run in collaboration with Washington State Bar Association and the two other law schools in Washington State. Seattle University was the first law school to implement the program in the Spring of 2011.
The purpose of the program is to increase access to civil legal services for moderate means individuals (those between 200% and 400% of the federal poverty level) who cannot afford to hire private attorneys at market rates but make too much money to qualify for traditional civil legal aid services. Through this program, eligible clients can get assistance in the areas of Family, Consumer and Housing law. For more information about MMP.
How are law students involved with the program?
Moderate Means Program law student interns interview potential clients by telephone to collect information and evaluate their cases. After a case has been evaluated and determined to be appropriate for the program, the student contacts one or more participating attorneys who are offered the opportunity to work with the client at a reduced fee. Once an attorney agrees to take a case, the client will be directed to the attorney and the intake materials including the student's case notes and legal analysis will be sent to the attorney. The attorney will then meet with the client to determine what services are appropriate. There are two ways for students to get involved with MMP:
- Fall or Spring Practicum (semester-long course) which offers 3 credits. Open to 2Ls and 3Ls.
- Summer Internship (10 weeks, full-time or part-time) which is unpaid. Open to rising 2Ls, and 3Ls.
How do law students benefit from interning with the Moderate Means Program?
- Students interview a high volume of clients which gives them an opportunity to build and hone their interviewing skills.
- Students receive training and experience using the Legal Server database, which is used by most of the civil legal aid organizations in Washington State and around the country.
- Training is provided in the substantive legal areas of family, housing, and consumer law, as well as how to do fast and efficient issue-spotting.
- Students hone their legal research skills and learn how to utilize resources to perform an initial legal analysis of the case.
- Students benefit from detailed feedback from supervising attorneys to help them hone their skills in client interviewing, legal research and analysis, and writing case notes and preparing case files.
- Students gain a good grasp of the larger legal network through providing referral information to people who are not eligible for a referral to an MMP attorney.
- Students work with MMP attorneys to facilitate a good referral.
- Students gain satisfaction helping moderate income individuals who otherwise might not receive any legal help at all.
- Students can receive credit towards their Pro Bono Pledge hours.
- This course fulfills the professional skills requirement.
- This course offers hands-on, experiential learning, but it does not count toward your Clinic or Externship credit limits.
What kind of commitment do students need to make to be involved?
Fall and Spring Practicums:
- Student attend class two days a week for an hour and 15 minutes for three weeks.
- Once the initial training is complete, students commit to 8 hours per week for the remainder of the semester.
- Students who complete the practicum are invited to continue to work at MMP on a volunteer basis.
Summer Internship:
- Students can commit to a part-time internship of a minimum of 6 hours per week or a full-time internship of 37.5 hours per week.
- Students participate in intensive upfront training on family, housing and consumer law, client interviewing, professionalism and ethics and program protocols and systems. The training generally takes three weeks of meeting twice per week. Once the training is complete, students are expected to perform intakes and make referrals for a minimum of 6 hours per week.
- Students who complete the summer internship are invited to continue to work at MMP on a volunteer basis.
What are students saying about their experience with MMP?
"The Moderate Means Program has been a great experience that has expanded my view on the scope of legal issues that are pertinent to those who cannot normally afford legal services. I had a strong interest in working in the public interest field before working for MMP, however, I was not sure the field of law that I wanted to pursue. When I first came to law school I was convinced that health law would be my major focus. Now, thanks to MMP, I've been able to expand my potential areas of interest and broaden the scope to areas of the law that I would like to learn even more about." Practicum Student, 2L
"I have really come a long way with interviewing clients over the phone this semester. I no longer get anxious before I pick up the phone and I rarely have to pause and think for a long time before I speak. Practice makes perfect I guess. Four hours on the phone flies by because I am genuinely having fun. Another good thing I like about this class is that it provides practical opportunities to research new areas of the law that I haven't been exposed too yet. I have learned a lot by going to walawhelp.org and reading the brochures and then just looking at the statute. As someone who wants to go into solo practice, this skill is going to be vital to teaching myself. I look forward to finishing the semester and continuing on as a volunteer with the MMP." Practicum Student, 3L
"My experience in this practicum has been very positive. Additionally, I want to reiterate that this experience has been the most engaging experience in law school yet, and has given me more confidence in client interaction and my ability to research any civil law topic that comes up. This class is a wonderful opportunity to engage with clients in a way that is both challenging but safe, and to immerse in a broad range of legal areas." Practicum Student, 3L

'Talks are essential' on retail art space
Related topics
The chief executive-elect should consult developers on his proposal that they must set aside space in new retail complexes for arts and cultural facilities, the chief of one of the four main property empires says.
Adrian Cheng Chi-kong, executive director and joint general manager of New World Development, said yesterday the government would need to provide a more detailed plan on how it wanted developers to allocate land for cultural use.
'Sometimes the land is not large enough to accommodate or cater for many functions; if it's too small, then [an art space] loses its purpose and effect. I think more consultation is needed not only with the artists but also with the developers,' said Cheng, who launched his K11 Art Mall in 2009 to promote local art through commissions and exhibitions.
'At the moment, artists lack space for performances, workshops and exhibitions, that's why I think it's important that space should be increased. But in a land sale, if the lot is small, would that be effective? This needs consultation. But I am quite neutral to [the idea].'
In his election manifesto, chief executive-elect Leung Chun-ying proposed that requirements for arts facilities could be included in the land lease for future commercial projects such as shopping malls. Subsidised and community art firms, or exhibitions and shops selling cultural goods could use the space.
Cheng agreed the public and private sectors needed to co-operate to help build an arts and cultural sector.
'Local artists can't rely purely on government funding or corporate donations, which are very minimal in Hong Kong when compared with countries like South Korea [and the US], where most major corporation have an arts foundation. This city doesn't have many, so corporate involvement in the arts is lacking,' he told the South China Morning Post.
'The new government will need to come up with a sound road map on how corporations can help. For instance, should there be a tax exemption if a business supports the arts in a certain way?'
While tax breaks on corporate charities may not be as big an incentive as they are overseas given Hong Kong's low business rate, Cheng said they would still encourage private enterprises to promote a more healthy 'art eco-system'.
'If you are going to have a charity anyway, why not have a foundation that supports the arts?' said the grandson of property tycoon Cheng Yu-tung, who founded New World in 1970.
'If every enterprise did that, then you'd have the supply, demand, talents and intermediaries to build a creative industry. We don't have one now as there isn't enough support.'
With several New World properties on the same stretch as the Cultural Centre and Museum of Art on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, Cheng said it had not ruled out the possibility of adding more cultural amenities.

She deserves credit for immediately going on Larry King in a manner that was dull and not newsworthy
Couple update for you guys, let's see what we have:
First up, did you know that Bradley Manning was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize? Pretty awesome, especially the write up.
Since we finally have some snow (I've been singing Christmas Carols for a few days now), check out Snow Henge (via Copyranter):
Also from Copyranter, the village of Hobbiton in New Zealand is no inhabited by sheep, and the "best" ad campaigns of all time. No real way to to judge "best," although they are all iconic and important in their own ways.
The Ottawa library system is starting a "Human library" feature, where you can interview people of interest for 20 minute blocks. This is an awesome idea, I really need to get a passport and head to Ottawa, this is just remarkable!
CPAC is an annual conservative conference, and sadly, one of the most hate-filled events of the year. Speaking of, this year, they invited (and later refused to renounce) a white supremacy speaker. Maddow covers it here and Slog covers it here. Disgusting.
I've been following the birth control debate, although not as close as I probably should have. Reproductive health coverage is a part of health coverage, and I think it should be included (and maybe we'll get some advances in men's reproductive health while we're at it). It's about setting a basic standard of health, which the government is saying employers are saying they must provide. That being said, I was upset that he backed down from the Catholic Church, but will still get the same result anyway, by instead putting the onus on the insurance companies, not the employers. So I guess in the end, it worked out, I Just hate setting the precedent that one religious denomination can dictate government health coverage decisions.
That's it for now, have a great one!

Cornwall print firm Wyndeham cuts 58 jobs
Nearly 60 jobs are expected to go at a printing firm in St Austell, Cornwall.
Wyndeham Press Group, which took over St Ives Roche in April, blamed increasing costs of raw materials and falling orders.
It is proposing to make 58 redundancies at the site which will affect all departments and a 30-day consultation process has started.
In May the company announced it planned to close its Plymouth factory with the loss of 145 jobs.
Paul Utting, chief executive of Wyndeham Group, said: "It is disappointing to have to give notice of this additional action.
"The web offset sector in the UK is under severe stress following unprecedented increases in raw material and utility costs compounded by reducing volumes of work."
He added that despite significant investment in the plant in recent years, the overheads were too high to keep the current level of workforce.
"Against this backdrop, even a site like Roche, with modern equipment, needs to make changes in order to remain viable."

CHONGQING, April 9 (Xinhua) -- State Councilor Liu Yandong has called for more efforts in scientific and technological innovation to boost development in China's Chongqing Municipality.
Liu made the remarks during a recent inspection tour of Chongqing, the only municipality in China's central and western regions.
She said innovation in science and technology is crucial to combat the financial crisis, optimize industrial structure, adjust the economic growth mode, and to achieve fast development.
Liu urged the municipality to make breakthroughs in its pillar industries, strive to foster technology-intensive burgeoning industries of strategic importance, speed up its building of a science and technology innovation center and an industrial base to apply scientific research to industrial production.
During her inspection, Liu visited schools, scientific research institutes, high-tech companies and cultural institutions.

The Trait Dominance-submissiveness Scale was developed originally by considering numerous characteristics related to generalized feelings of dominance versus submissiveness (Mehrabian & Hines, 1978). The Trait Dominance-submissiveness Scale currently in use (Mehrabian, 1994a) was developed within Mehrabian's (1987, 1991, 1995a, 1996) PAD Temperament Model which requires that Trait Dominance-submissiveness be reasonably independent of Trait Pleasure-displeasure and of Trait Arousability. This is a theoretically important feature of the present scale and helps distinguish it from others that confound the measurement of Trait Dominance with pleasant- unpleasant and/or arousable-unarousable characteristics. For instance, measures of Extroversion typically confound dominant and pleasant temperament characteristics, whereas measures of aggressiveness confound dominant, unpleasant, and arousable characteristics. The present version of the Trait Dominance- submissiveness Scale contains 26 items and subjects report the degree of their agreement or disagreement with each item using a 9-point agreement-disagreement scale.
The Trait Dominance-submissiveness Scale is intended primarily for experimental use. In the event it is used in clinical or applied settings, it is strongly advisable that findings based on the present instrument be checked against additional data from alternative tests and interview materials.
- Administration: does not require tester to be present; can be used with individuals or groups
- Test format: questionnaire, 26 items
- Appropriate population: English fluency, ages 15 and older
- Time required for administration: approximately 10 minutes
- Scoring: hand scoring yields a single total-scale score; software supplies percentile & z-scores as well
- Manual: contains complete scale, scoring directions, norms
- Background literature: includes articles on the general PAD Temperament Model (Mehrabian, 1991, 1995a; Mehrabian & O'Reilly, 1980)
Scale ValidityEdit
Mehrabian's (1996) review article on the PAD Temperament Scales supplies considerable validity data on the Trait Dominance Scale. Validity on the Trait Dominance Scale is also available indirectly through its correlation of -.73 with the Sensitivity to Rejection Scale (Mehrabian, 1970). The Sensitivity to Rejection Scale (MSR) is a measure of generalized social submissiveness (i.e, the converse of social dominance). Its strong negative relationship with the Trait Dominance Scale is, therefore, understandable. Mehrabian (1994b) reviewed experimental evidence on the Sensitivity to Rejection Scale (MSR) and the findings can be summarized as follows:
Persons with higher Sensitivity to Rejection scores, compared with those with lower scores, are more likely to
- be generally more submissive rather than dominant,
- be less assertive,
- be rated as less competent, less confident, less influential, and less leader-like by others in group situations,
- do less well in competition, as in sports,
- avoid self-disclosures and feel less socially able and skillful in social interactions,
- assume posturally tense positions (i.e., submissive postures), and feel more anxious and less self-confident in dealing with others in stressful situation.
The -.73 correlation between the MSR and the Trait Dominance Scale suggests a similar, though inverted set of relationships for Trait Dominance. For example, it can be inferred that persons with high Trait Dominance scores, compared with those with lower scores, are more likely to (c) be rated as more competent, more confident, more influential, and more leader- like by others in group situations, (d) do better in competition, as in sports, and so forth.
Construct validity for the Trait Dominance Scale is available also from Mehrabian and O'Reilly (1980) who found that the Trait Dominance Scale (TDS) correlated positively with measures of Extroversion, Exhibition, Affiliation, Nurturance, Play, Impulsivity, Understanding, Arousal Seeking, Sentience, Change, Achieving Tendency, Endurance, Autonomy, and Aggression. They also found that the Trait Dominance Scale correlated negatively with measures of Neuroticism, Trait Anxiety, Harmavoidance, Succorance (or Dependency), and Sensitivity to Rejection.
Additional data were reported by Mehrabian and Stefl (1995) showing that the Trait Dominance Scale correlated negatively with measures of Shyness, Loneliness, and Conformity. Finally, the TDS was found to be a negative correlate of measures of depression (Mehrabian, 1995b; Mehrabian & Bernath, 1991).

As the first LEED Gold-certified project in Kissimmee, the 54,000-square-foot facility demonstrates the Toho Water Authority's commitment to conserving water and energy for Osceola County's future. Concrete tilt-up wall construction reduced the project's total amount of resources and subsequent environmental impact.
The number of panels was reduced by using multiple cranes during lifting. According to the Tilt-Up Concrete Association, the project has the world's largest panel by area at 2950 square feet, the second heaviest panel ever at 330,000 pounds, and the ninth widest panel at 56 feet, 3 ¼ inches (at date of submittal).
Originally intended to be constructed with precast concrete panels over a steel frame, the design and construction teams collaborated to analyze many alternative solutions and finally decided on concrete tilt-up walls. These modifications not only allowed for a reduction in structural steel and a cleaner installation of insulation, but also reduced costs and saved time.
This also eliminated transporting precast panels from production facility to jobsite, reducing emissions and environmental impact. Larger panels reduced the number of panel joints, limiting the potential for air and moisture intrusion, and improved the performance and health of the building.
Concrete also was used for the parking lots and sidewalks. This increased the solar reflectivity (SRI) of the surface of the site's hardscape. The increased SRI of the concrete reduces the heat island effect. The project's concrete mixes included about 20% fly ash.
The finish face of the panel was specified and delivered as smooth. It required no texture in its finish coating. The architect also insisted on 90-degree corners at all openings, no chamfers, and 45-degree sharp corners at the panel miter joints.

and Part of Lot 12,
Will S. Harold and Virginia V. Harold, the owners of the subject property; have applied for a Right-of-Way License Agreement through the Department of Community Development. The application was made in connection with a proposal to reconstruct a driveway and a front entry sidewalk with decorative pavers.
The License Agreement Application has been reviewed for completeness and accuracy. The proposal was reviewed with respect to City Codes and possible effects to adjacent properties resulting in no outstanding concerns. The owners have submitted a building permit application for the proposal as described that has also been reviewed for approval by appropriate City staff.
The property owner has been advised of applicable requirements and advised of the License Agreement and permit review process. This agreement has the effect of requiring the property owner to maintain and, if necessary, replace these improvements with the accepted standard construction requirements of the City. Further, should the property owner fail to abide by this requirement, it provides the City with the ability to take necessary corrective actions at the expense of the property owner.

Overall, the subject area covers approximately 10,152 square feet and is beyond the mowing perimeter routinely maintained by Public Works. The area is wooded and has become overgrown with brush, tall weeds, and tangled vines. Additionally, this area is not visible from surrounding right-of-ways and lends itself to undesirable activity.
These four residential property owners have approached city staff and requested permission to clean the subject area of the vines, brush and weeds. With the license agreements as proposed, the owners will agree to maintain the areas adjacent to their homes, promote the growth of native vegetation so as to enhance wildlife habitat, and to install approved fencing. Should any of these property owners fail to abide by the terms of the license agreements, the City has the ability to take corrective actions as necessary at the expense of the offending property owner(s).
This proposal has been reviewed by appropriate City Staff and approval is recommended.

Passenger cars market leader, Maruti Udyog Ltd, has announced that it is raising the price of its volume-driving model - Maruti 800 - after effecting design changes to it.
The company has raised the prices of the Euro-II compliant version of the 800-cc car by Rs 3,000 to Rs 2,08,678 (standard). It also announced that it is in the process of rolling out its Euro-III compliant variant of Maruti 800 and it would be available across the country in the next ten days.
The Euro-III version comes at a higher price of Rs 2,14,678 and is geared to meet the Euro III emission norms being introduced from April 1 across 11 major cities.
The Managing Director of Maruti Udyog Ltd, Mr Jagdish Khattar, said, "Just when there was talk about Maruti 800 being phased out, this iconic brand has donned a fresh new look and again surprised everyone. The new-look Maruti 800 is Maruti's gift to the millions of two-wheeler owners in the country who are looking to upgrade to a car."
Mr K. Saito, Director (Marketing and Sales), Maruti Udyog Ltd, said Maruti 800's face-lift has addressed the complaint that the model had not changed its looks for a few years.
The new Maruti 800 comes with clear headlamps with a headlight levelling mechanism and clear lens rear combination lamps and a new grille. The Euro-III compliant version of the new Maruti 800 also has a 32-bit electronic control unit.

Zaun's Struggles Won't Affect Wieters Call-Up
How much longer can the Orioles wait for catching prospect Matt Wieters?
Aging Gregg Zaun has been a disaster offensively to start the season. Zaun was hitless in his first 12 at bats to start the season and has not done much better since. He's hitting .129 for the year while going a putrid 8 for 62 with 0 homeruns and a whopping 1 RBI. Backup Chadd Moeller has been a little better. Moeller is hitting .292, but has only played in 7 games with 24 AB's. Moeller has 1 HR and has matched Zaun's RBI output with 1. So, 2 RBI from the Orioles catchers this season in the first month!
Trembley: Zaun Will Improve
"I think for a guy who has played as long as Zaun has, you've got to look at the track record and see what he is, and that's basically a .250 hitter, and I think that's what he would be," Orioles manager Dave Trembley said. "He's done a very nice job for us behind the plate, but offensively we know he's capable. I know he wants to give more to us offensively, and he needs to. I think he's tinkered with some things at the plate," added Trembley. Unfortunately, Zaun's defensive prowess doesn't help any fantasy baseball managers who are hoping he can get more than 1 RBI in May.
Wieters Due Late May or Early June
As for Wieters, who has been projected as a potential Rookie of the Year candidate for 2009, he returned to the Norfolk lineup on April 24 after a hamstring injury had kept him on the shelf for a few days. Wieters is hitting .278 on the year for Norfolk with 1 HR in 15 games thus far.
On April 29, Orioles manager Trembley noted that there is no connection between Zaun's struggles and the call-up of Wieters which many anticipate will be in late May at the earliest. "I think the Wieters thing is a separate entity onto itself," Trembley said. "I don't think the call-up of Wieters or the time frame with Wieters has anything to do with what Zaun does or doesn't do. Wieters is in his own category and basically on his own program there. I don't think there's any sense of panic or anything based upon what Zaun or (Chad) Moeller does."
Zaun, 38, signed a $1.5 million contract for 2009 and has been given the job of training Matt Wieters to be his replacement—a replacement that may be coming sooner than later if the Orioles want to contend and put more fans in the seats at

Clyburn Health Disparities Lecture set for April 21
Adewale Troutman
Dr. Adewale Troutman, director of the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness, will be the featured speaker Tuesday, April 21, for the second annual James E. Clyburn Health Disparities Lecture at the University of South Carolina.
The program, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 3:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Public Health Research Center of the Arnold School of Public Health, located at 921 Assembly St. A reception will follow.
"Dr. Troutman is an advocate for bringing change to improve health."
"Dr. Troutman is one of the nation's leaders in public health," said Dr. Saundra Glover, director of the University of South Carolina's Institute to Eliminate Health Dispartiies. "He is an advocate for bringing change to improve health, including changing social conditions that often affect a person's ability to change behaviors."
Health advocate for Louisville community
An associate professor at the University of Louisville School of Public Health, Troutman has a distinguished record of achievement in public health education, research, leadership and advocacy. In Louisville, Troutman has undertaken new initiatives to improve the health of citizens throughout the area, including:
- the Center for Health Equity--the only such center at a city or county health department in America
- the Mayor's Health Hometown Movement, a community effort to encourage Louisville's citizens to be physically active and adopt healthy lifestyles
- the Office of Faith and Health to work with the faith community to improve health
- the Office of Emergency and Public Health Preparedness
Troutman also was instrumental in launching a mobile health unit to extend health services to underserved areas of the community.
Among his numerous accomplishments, Troutman received the first annual MediStar Physician of the Year Award, which recognizes outstanding leadership to improve accessibility and affordability of healthcare.
Troutman earned his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and completed a residency and internship in family medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina. He earned his master's in public health from the Columbia University School of Public Health and a master's in black studies from the State University of New York.
'Clyburn has a proven record of public health advocacy'
The University of South Carolina's Arnold School named the lecture series for Clyburn because his service to people in the Palmetto State and his leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives have been critical in improving public health.
"Representative Clyburn has a proven record of advocacy for public health issues vital to the health and well-being of children, adults and senior citizens throughout our state and nation," Glover said.
Speakers for the program also will include Dr. Henry N. Tisdale, Claflin University president, University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides and Dr. Tom Chandler, Arnold School dean.
Partners for the lecture include the Arnold School of Public Health and the S.C. Partnership to Fight Chronic Diseases.

the chicken and turn to coat; refrigerate for 4 hours. Reserve the remaining chile oil for serving.
Light a grill and set it up for indirect grilling. Alternately, preheat the broiler and position the rack 8 to 10 inches from the heat. Remove the chicken from the bowl; reserve any chile oil remaining. Grill the chicken skin side down over indirect heat for 20 minutes, until lightly golden. Alternately, broil the chicken skin side up on a rack set over a baking sheet for 20 minutes. Baste the chicken with any remaining chile oil from the large bowl and continue grilling or broiling for 15 minutes longer; if grilling, turn occasionally. The chicken is done when the skin is deep golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the inner thigh registers 165°. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes. Carve into 8 pieces and serve with the reserved chile oil.
Serve With
French fries.
Suggested Pairing
Juicy, medium-bodied Garnacha from Spain.

Pupils, parents and staff at a Chinese school dressed up in elegant outfits and danced to oriental music at the Chinese New Year parade in central London.
Volunteers behind the new Marco Polo Academy, which is expected to open in Burnt Oak in September 2014, had a float in the parade to raise awareness about the new school.
It will be the UK's first Mandarin and English school, teaching lessons in both subjects and following a curriculum from Singapore.
The school, which will take pupils from four to 11-years-old, was approved by the Department for Education last week.

Snuff the sniffer dogs, Malaysian pirates bark
Security around the two female black Labrator sniffer dogs Lucky (L) and Flo has been beefed up.

Malaysian movie pirates have put a bounty on the heads of two sniffer dogs who busted a fake DVD ring with a seizure of discs worth about $3 million, media and officials said on Thursday.
Lucky and Flo, two female black Labradors deployed by Malaysian authorities in their crackdown on pirated movie DVDs and music CDs, carried out their first major successful operation in Johor state on Tuesday.
The New Straits Times said syndicate bosses had offered an unspecified reward for the killing of the two dogs.
"As a result of the extent of loss to the pirate syndicate, we have information from the domestic trade ministry that the Johor syndicate is intent on killing Lucky and Flo," said Neil Gane, an official of the Motion Picture Association.
"The Malaysian authorities are taking this threat seriously and the security around the dogs' current location has been beefed up," he told Reuters.
In Tuesday's raid, the two dogs helped seize a cache of around a million pirated game and movie discs in the southern city of Johor Baru, neighbouring Singapore. At least six people were arrested.
The fake DVDs, replicating machines and other tools used to make and sell discs were hidden in concealed spaces and secret compartments spread over four floors of an office building.
Malaysia, which figures on a US watchlist on piracy, has dramatically stepped up efforts to rein in copyright pirates as it negotiates a free-trade pact with the United States.
The dogs are being given a month's trial by Malaysian officials in a joint effort with the Motion Picture Association, which groups six major Hollywood film companies.
The dogs are trained to sit down when they smell plastic. Until now, the animals have been used mainly to check containers in cargo hangars.

Is Taylor Swift's Album 'Red' About Actor Jake Gyllenhaal?
Taylor Swift's album "Red" is filled with songs about her breakup with…someone. There has been speculation about just which ex it may be. Whoever it is, he listened to the album and called Taylor to talk it out.
The Grammy winning writer and singer is on the cover of "New York Magazine" and in the issue she speaks candidly about her album and her break ups.
"I heard from the guy that most of 'Red' is about," she said. "He was like, 'I just listened to the album, and that was a really bittersweet experience for me. It was like going through a photo album.'"
Rumor has it, that actor Jake Gyllenhaal is the ex she's making reference to in "Red."
As far as her other ex's, Taylor went on to say: "That was nice. Nicer than, like, the ranting, crazy emails I got from this one dude. It's a lot more mature way of looking at a love that was wonderful until it was terrible, and both people got hurt from it. But one of those people happened to be a songwriter. So what are you going to do? Did you not Wikipedia me before you called me up?"
So, who was the ranting songwriter she hinted at in the interview? A quick list of Taylor's exes includes Harry Styles, Taylor Lautner, Conor Kennedy, John Mayer and Joe Jonas. You be the judge!

What will the 2007 Masters Tournament be most remembered for?
The raw weekend cold that left patrons bundled and players bamboozled?
The tough course conditions that sent scores soaring to totals more reminiscent of a U.S. Open?
The crisp Thursday morning when Arnold Palmer restored a welcome ceremonial tradition?
The brisk Sunday afternoon when Tiger Woods failed to close the deal from the final pairing?
Zach Johnson might have been the least likely golfer to win the green jacket since Larry Mize stole the show 20 years ago, but he didn't have nearly the signature moment that thrust the Augusta-born champion into immortality.
The rest of the world might remember - or wish to forget - this Masters for all of those reasons.
From a purely provincial standpoint, however, this was Augusta's Masters.
In the anniversary year of Mize's improbable 1987 triumph, this year's tournament had a local vibe like never before.
Vaughn Taylor and Charles Howell have brought a sense of promise to the Masters that should make the whole town take notice. That they both walked away from Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday disappointed in their end results says a lot about how bright their futures are in the major championship they love the most and in the golf world beyond.
Taylor could have won this weekend - which is a reality few outside of his closest friends would have believed coming in. The kid from Goshen Plantation, Hephzibah High and Augusta State continues to exceed expectations to the point of proving that everybody hasn't expected enough out of him.
Taylor played 18 holes on Sunday with Johnson - a good friend and occasional roommate when they both toiled on the Hooters Tour. They began the day tied, just two off the lead. They use the same putter and putting coach and are known for their skill on the greens. They shared the same low profile as Ryder Cup rookies last fall.
So Taylor knows all too well that what Johnson did on Sunday could just as easily have been him. He knows that if a couple of short putts had dropped on the first two holes he might have had the chance to make a back-nine move. He knows that chances to take down Tiger in the Masters don't come around every year and he watched how Johnson calmly took advantage.
"I learned a lot this week," Taylor said. "I had a lot of pressure to deal with. Hopefully I'll get better because of it."
Howell came into this Masters with a lot more attention on him than Taylor. That's always been the story for Howell, who has fostered high expectations from the time he was a junior at Augusta Country Club through being the NCAA champion at Oklahoma State. He has made exceeding the example set by Mize his primary mission.
So it was only natural that Howell was considered among the favorites this week despite his last-place finish the previous year. Howell had come further faster than any other player on tour. He had buried the wilderness experience of the previous season under a pile of high finishes and a second breakthrough victory that earned him the right to return to his hometown major.
That he couldn't keep the momentum going on an Augusta National course he and everybody else was unfamiliar with isn't surprising. It was harder out there than anybody had ever imagined, and Howell dug himself a hole from which he couldn't climb out.
But Howell snapped a two-year streak of missing the Masters cut and learned valuable lessons for the future.
"I'm only 27 and I've got a lot more Masters ahead of me," Howell said.
The two local boys on Sunday afternoon will leave a far more indelible impression on me than Johnson in his green jacket-clashing blue shirt.
It was the way Howell walked away from the clubhouse looking to convert his disappointment of a 30th-place finish into determination.
And it was the way Taylor lingered behind the 18th green trying not to let his emotions pour out as he received long hugs from his parents, grandmother, sister, girlfriend and so many other friends who shared a mixture of pride and pain.
"It was pretty special out there," said Taylor of a 10th-place finish he punctuated with dignity and class. "I'm a little disappointed in the way I finished, but there will always be next year."
Maybe next year will be the year for either Taylor or Howell to give Augusta the thrill that Mize did. The Masters makes no promises.
But I promise you that Augusta has never been better represented than by this pair of young men who rank among the best in the world. For that, Augusta can be proud.

Cough Remedies
People get a mild cough from time to time, and that is normal. However, it's when you have a chronic cough that you have to start worrying. Of course, you should note that a cough is not a disease itself. In fact, a cough is normally a symptom of another disorder of some kind. The cough is known as one of the main problems that bring people into the doctor's office.
So what kinds of people get a cough? Well, the cough is one of the most common symptoms as we have already talked about.
The symptoms of a cough are really just the cough itself. When you have other problems, the cough is normally one of the symptoms. Thus, the cough itself is just the symptom of something else. Although you may not know what that problem is, you should go have it looked at by a doctor. He will be able to let you know what the main problem is that you should be looking for.
To have a cough, diagnosis is pointless. You are not actually getting the cough diagnosis when you go to a doctor, you are finding out what is causing the cough. Thus, whatever the actual problem is, that is what you are having diagnosed. A lot of people tend to forget that whenever they go to the doctor. They forget that they are not going in for the cough, but for what is causing the cough. In fact, that is one reason why people are always afraid to go to the doctor. They are afraid of what else may be causing the cough.
Whenever you have a cough, a cough suppressant is the best cure. However, you need to note that the cough suppressant is not going to take care of the underlying problem. All it is going to do is keep you from coughing. If you are just looking for some cough relief, then there are a lot of things that you can do. These things could be as easy as drinking some water or as hard as running to the doctor to get some prescribed codeine. No matter what you do, you are going to want to get your cough under control. On top of that, you are going to want to find out what is causing the cough.
Home Remedies
Cough remedies are easy to come by. Of course, because you do not know what is causing the cough, you may not be able to cure it right away. If you can find out what the major problem is, then you will be able to find something that can help you easily. Some people like to mix a half cup boiling of milk with an ice cold soda. Although this is not very tasty, it does work. Other people like to eat things like dried apricots; these do wonders for a cough. If you have any grapefruit juice, try to mix it with a little bit of honey. Of course, not everything that you take for a cough is made to be eaten. For example, sometimes just putting some olive oil on your chest is a great way to help out with a cough. Last, but not least, try to squeeze some basil leaves into some honey. Just combine those two things, and then eat it. These are just a few cough home remedies.
Overall, a cough is easy to deal with. This is because there are a ton of home remedies for cough out there. Just remember that finding a cough home remedy that works for you is a lot easier when you know what the major problem is. If you never find out what is causing the cough, then you are never going to be able to truly get rid of it. The home remedies for cough that we talked about are just ways to clear it up for a little it. These will do nothing for getting rid of the main reason why you have a cough. If you have a cough, do not worry, they normally do not last too long.

11 running for 7 Chariho committee seats
11 running for 7 Chariho committee seats
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION — Eleven candidates will run for the seven open seats on the Chariho Regional School Committee in November's election.
In Charlestown, four candidates are running for three open seats. Incumbents Ronald Areglado, Craig Louzon and Donna Chambers, all independents, will seek reelection, while Republican Stephen Young will make a bid for his first term on the committee.
Young, a nine-year resident of Charlestown and retired small business owner, cited dissatisfaction with the school district's use of Common Core as one of his main reasons for seeking office.
"It was only supposed to be a testing standard, not a part of the curriculum," he said of the statewide academic standards adopted by the Rhode Island Department of Education.
Young also said that while he is not "at war" with Superintendent Barry Ricci, he hopes to raise more questions about Ricci's influence in the school district's policies and decisions.
"Far too many committee members just give him what he wants, which just leads to arrogance," Young said.
Young cited his years working in business and familiarity with budgeting systems, as well as his standpoint as a taxpayer without children in the school district, as important qualifications for his bid for the position.
Chambers, the state coordinator for the National External Diploma Program, was appointed to fill a vacancy in March 2013. Also appointed in 2013, Areglado is the president of The Center for Moral and Ethical Leadership and has held many leadership positions in elementary, secondary and higher education. Louzon, first elected in 2010, currently serves as vice chairman of the committee and works as the grounds superintendent at the University of Rhode Island.
The fourth Charlestown representative, Stephen Huzyk, will remain on the committee until his term expires in 2016.
In Hopkinton, five candidates — two incumbents and three newcomers — are vying for three open seats.
Sylvia Stanley, who previously served on the School Committee, will run as an independent. She spent eight years as a teacher's assistant at Hope Valley Elementary School and another eight years as the bookkeeper for the superintendent's office. Since retiring, Stanley explained that she wanted to give back to her community, and felt this was a suitable venue to do so.
Stanley named homeschooling issues, the cost of education and the need for the School Committee and school administration to work together as her top three areas of focus.
"I really think the School Committee needs to become more of a team than they are now," she said, adding that if elected, she would try to lead by example in encouraging partnership and communication among committee members and administrators.
Lisa Macaruso also has an extensive education-related background, having held positions as a teacher and behavioral consultant for a special education department in another school district before her current job as the disability services program coordinator for the Community College of Rhode Island. Macaruso, who will finish her master's degree in education at The University of Rhode Island in December, has twin daughters entering third grade at Ashaway Elementary School.
"In my current job, I have the opportunity to really see what parts of the education system did well, and what students are still lacking when they come to college," said Macaruso, who will run as an independent. "This is the right time for me to be an agent of change, for my daughters and for the rest of the children in the district."
Macaruso said she hoped to focus on issues of school safety, curriculum and student conduct.
Dorothy Gardiner, a Democratic candidate, did not respond to requests for comment by press time.
Gregory Kenney and Georgia Ure will seek reelection to the committee as Democrats. Committee member George Abbott's term continues through 2016.
Amanda Blau, who holds the third seat up for election, will not run.
In Richmond, incumbent Robert Cardozo, a Democrat, will match up against Republican Kevin McGreevy, a pharmacist for CVS making his first bid for public office.
McGreevy, a father of two whose oldest just finished pre-kindergarten at Hope Valley Elementary School, said recent budget outcomes in Richmond reflect voters' desire for change in leadership.
"I don't think people are happy with what's been going on," he said, describing the need to cater to both taxpayers and schools as a delicate balance.
McGreevy said his top issues, if elected, will be to address the budget, the matriculation requirement in the elementary schools and general allocation of resources, which he said are not always the most cost-effective.
"Take 1:1 for example," he said. "We could do it more cost-effectively. We don't need to be leasing Apple computers."
Cardozo, who was appointed in December 2011, works as a teacher at Woonsocket High School.
Current members William Day, chairman, and Keven Miller will continue to serve until 2016.
The deadline for all candidates, both new and incumbent, to file for a position on the School Committee was 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
