Well, Kallen did want to die with Lelouch back during turn 19 and arguably turn 22 as well(Chiba stating the BK will gun her down if Kallen is under Lelouch's geass by Kallen herself, I thought it was already pretty much cleared up between Lelouch and Kallen at turn 2. Don't know why Kallen would think she's under his geass at this point since she did walk away from him at turn 19).
Don't think the poem meant she wanted to be Suzaku at ZR. More like what Nunnally said during turn 25. She didn't want to lose him.
The poem did show Kallen didn't want to live a normal life when her brother died(I'm guessing her brother would have wanted her to live a normal life). So I'm not really surprised she would have wanted to have a choice to follow Lelouch even if Lelouch didn't want that.
Lelouch did become the most important person to Kallen since turns 19 and 22 really showed that. Kallen wasn't even thinking about her mother or anyone else.
I don't think this helps though your take on Kallen though .

Most important person, I can understand.
More important that everything she's been fighting for (also under Zero's command), well, I can't ^^;
Ok, ZR was for greater good, but from the way she stated that in the poem, it sounds more like she would have followed him unconditionately.
And yes, Lelouch is enough of an ass to always decide what's better for the others without asking them, but this is nothing new XD
That line about 'shot me if you suspect I'm under Geass', I've always had difficulties to make it fit into the plot, too. I think it was there to show that Kallen absolutely wanted to meet Lelouch face to face and was ready to risk her life for that, but, at the same time, that she didn't want to compromise her army and her people because of this need of her to get her answer from him.
But you are right, she should know that she has been geassed already, but maybe she doesn't know that Lelouch's Geass can be used only once. Or, more probably, the writers forget that!

I change anime endings.
The writers forgot a lot of things.
About integrative "dramas" connected with manga chapter 25 (not the OAV), looking the request I must build 4-5 again, these the events:
Chronological order:
1)A Cornelia's life episode, when she start to be loving for Nonette children.
2)A terrified Lelouch ask to kallen if she can sleep together with him (first stage of their relationship).
3)Kallen ask to Lelouch if finally she can aid and comfort him. Their first time (second stage of their relationship)
4)Kallen giving birth the two gemini.
5)Rivalz offer himself for to protect Nina and give to her a new life.
So, what make before?

had lelouch told kallen what he was actually trying to achive in the end
i dont think there would be a problem for her to join him
she ended up opposing him becouse she DIDNT know what the end goal was
and once she figured it out she was trying to stop it becouse she knew what happens next (lelouch's death)
#2- for the sheer comedy of the thing ;P

I just think Kallen is someone who places other people, friends and family more important than her own life/happiest. Zero was the one who could accomplish her brother's dream and we know how important that was to Kallen. Almost nothing else mattered to her except of course her mother. Its just that when Kallen fell in love with Lelouch, she really had fallen for him very hard.
Wanting to know what she meant to him was so important that she had literally forgotten about her mother(hate to repeat myself but that's a big deal considering how important Kallen's family is to her). End of the day, her love for Lelouch is so strong that she wanted to be with him in life or in death. Since Lelouch wanted her to live, she's going to. Its just that her character song makes it seem that she is waiting for him and only him .

For me when I read the poem it was quite clear. Her brother was everything that mattered to her, and when he died, Kallen choose to fight until the end, to finally die. Kallen was resigned to fight until the death; She didn't thought about living, because of her brother's death, she lost this will to live a normal and happy life.
The thing which is needed to be saw there is in my pov, the start of the poem where Kallen said she made her move, but she was convinced nothing would come of that. Then after her brother's death, she choose to continue to fight to finally die.
So in both case, Kallen seemingly never believed in any victory; She was convinced all of this would lead to nothing, then finally to her death.
Why did Lelouch become more important that everything ? Because he changed that. You can more easily understand why Kallen was so admirative of Zero in S1, that's simply because he gave her hope, a hope she didn't have previously.
Finally with Zero, she started to believe in victory; Thus turn 9, where she is telling her wish, which is even more of a promise, to live in a normal world with her mother.
For a girl who was resigned to die and who was pretty much pessimist about all of this, you can basically say that Zero gave her a new life.
And Zero is Lelouch. And finally all of this gave her a crush on her commander, before the whole R2 conflit and the romance devellopment between them.
Kallen said this in her poem too, she was ready to come, crushing his enemy, and finally she didn't realize that more than the cause for what she was fighting, she held devotion only to him. She never believed in her dreams and Lelouch gave her all of that, hope, victories, power...and finally he achieved all of this by forcing her to see the culmination of all of these while living, even though because she was thankful to him, because she loved him, she was ready to be with him until the very end.
So Kallen didn't made a choice between Naoto or Lelouch, between her ideals and Lelouch (there it's clearly not the case. She was ready to kill him, let's nor forget), Lelouch simply gave her everything she didn't have, so add to this feeling and stuff and you get this.
I'm not surprised at all by this, since the poem explained why she put Lelouch above everything else; The only surprise was the very fact Kallen is telling she didn't have any faith in what could come of her moves, and she knew she was going to die = Thus no happy ending for Kallen, just death.
Had this not been explained, I could have been surprised like you, Levy, but this part clear up everything to me.
And makes me love Kallen even more, if that's possible. Didn't knew there was so much angst in her; I thought she was ready to die but believed in what she was doing. Finally no. Pfff what's up with those fanservice PD ? We don't know anytrhing about Naoto's death !
BTW I don't think Kallen would have been fine with ZR. Not easily anyway, or she would have wish to die as well/bear the burden of those sins as well...a lot of possibilities so. More reason for Lelouch to keep her away.
The point is simply that she wanted to stay with him despites everything.

OMG Loli the wall text!! weren't you supposed to study?? =P
That Zero gave her confidence and the faith in her capabilities, that's for granted, but I used to think that part of this was of Karen for herself. She kinda disagrees: first, that something she was fighting for was 'of Naoto', then it was 'of Zero', and it evolved in being 'of Lelouch'. SonOfHeaven is probably right, this goes with her being very generous at heart. She simply turned out to be 95% passion and 5% idealism, while I've always thought it was more 70% -30%. ^^;
Anyway, I see your POV, and I think that the ending, although bittersweet, give us a picture of her that is not of despair. So let's go on with this...
About Zero Requiem, coming at this point, this is a question I'd like to have a direct answer from the staff, because everything points toward 'no' but the poems point toward 'yes', so, it would be interesting to know from them.
I'm still of the opinion that she would not have allowed Lelouch to die that way.
|2009-01-28, 07:48

Anyway, i just want to point out, that in that moment of Turn 19, i see it, as Kallen's desperate reaction to protect him and on the flip side, when you think you are going to lose someone, you actually face what they mean to you.
When she had to face potentially losing Lelouch forever, that made her realize exactly what she felt for him.
And Kallen is not that level-headed anyway, most of her actions are triggered from her emotions, nor that the BK were rational at that point, so they leave her no choice. So i see that scene, like Kallen saying "dude, this is it now. At least i will die with the person i love, i just hope that bitch loves me back. Oh well, it does not hurt to ask in a way, does it? Hey, Lelouch blah blah" And there comes Lelouch with his mask, etc etc |DD;;

Well for mle it's quite the contrary. I don't see her lack of faith in the success of her fight as something bad, it's even more impressive to me to see her ready to fight with everything when she thinks, deep inside, that she'll end up by dying, because she hasn't been able to make things change until then.
Had she gave up since the start, it would have been a shame, but she didn't. She continued to fight despites this, she isn't an idealistic and is able to understand the truth of the world, thus a simple group of terrorist isn't really likely to change this truth.
She fought for her brother memories and because she had to. It's even more admirable to do so. I guess they should have gave us more insight about this in the serie though, cause she seemed more faithful in her cause than that. But maybe because since the start of the serie, she met Zero; She is there talking about previous feelings. Everything changed because of Lelouch.
I'm not talking about the ending, but aboyt her chara at the start. I guess a BG turn for Naoto/Kallen would have make those things from the poem crystal clear but since they didn't bother giving us her BG...:/
Thus her chara at ths start is angsty inside. Now her ending is better sure. Even though she is bitter about Lelouch's choice, she is going to live, and that's already a big step for her.
I don't think the poem point toward a Yes. Kallen said she was ready to follow him through hell. She didn't talk about ZR there, just about her wish to stay with him. Like I said earlier, the fact she wants to follow him until hell doesn't contradict her disapproving ZR.

I do not think that Kallen intended to die, she just thought it was safe to assume this {and it was, she even said that to Lelouch in #22 Turn} because being a terrorist with not a clear plan or total back-up, will lead to this result.
What i get from the poem, is that she was gonna be ok, when that day comes, she had compromised with the idea of death,
Now, her "plans" changed somewhere along the way.
But i do not think faith has nothing to do with the fact, whether you are ready to die or not. It was just her resolve.

Only that having faith, is always there. People always have a tiny ray of hope in whatever they do.
But calculating+arrangement does give the important factor or "realistic chances". And this is what BK missed. This is what Lelouch gave to them. It is what Urabe said in #2 in Kallen, he was the only hope they had.

Well it was more of a "Lelouch above everything else because he gave her hope" because of this line assuming she didn't really believe anything would come out of it. And I agree for the "tiny ray of hope" but well that's more of a "something good can still happen" than a "We can do this"
Lelouch gave her the "We can do This !"

It's not out of character for her to leave behind her mother in a new, better world, when the person who helped her (re)discover all that was Lelouch. Everything she has (and would have) is because of him. So choosing him over the other options makes sense.

Leaving her mother for self-sacrifice is not OOC for her, but allowing Lelouch to put under geass and sent on massacre thousands of human beings, bring war back to Japan, blow up Mt Fuji, and risk the lifes of all the represantative of the UNF, with the consequent destabilization of the organization - beacuse this is what ZR took- well, I don't know how to make this t fit in her character.
It was hard to make up my mind that Suzaku had his reasons to do it, and it was easier to see the reasons for him to be this disilluded and longing for self-annihilation.
ZR is good in the goal, but steps over all the principles Karen has fought for (and she kinda repeats this in the dialogue in the final battle with Suzaku), and I can't see the old Karen accepting this compromise, moreover if it's implied - as from the poem - that the reason why she would have was not her ideal of a better world, but her feelings for Lelouch only.
Her reaction in Turn 19 was very much in-chara for her - heat of the moment and the belief that Lelouch hasn't really cheated on them - but the poem is pointing toward Turn.22, and there, she was not under in the heat of the moment, she had a whole month to rethink the - 'lulz my pawns' VS 'you must live on' - thing. In the meantime, Lelouch had already started ZR, and from there (to answer to Loli, too) I get the idea that the poem means she was ready to join ZR, something that I'm unable to make fit in her character...
but maybe I'm reading too much into that line.
Anyway, I'd have like to had a clear answer about this, coming to this point. PD 9...?
and now that I think about it... what is PD 8 supposed to talk about, news anyone?

Anyway, you got some good points, but you have to consider {i'll leave out Lelouch from this, it is about Kallen} how Kallen sees Lelouch and the bond she shares with him.
Kallen gave Lelouch someone to lean on in his difficult job as leader, she gave him a companion to look to when he needed advice and most importantly never let him put the blame of anything on himself. <-- i think that was the point of Turn 19 as well, she knew his "intentions" and she did want to go down along with him. {yeah ok, i won't go on again about Lelouch's exceptional acting abilities that could have him nominated an oscar and pushed her away}
Still though, even after that whole event, she continued questioning that. She needed that answer, not only about his feelings, but she wanted to go with him, fight along his side, whatever that was. {clap, clap Lelouch oscar x 2 in that moment as well}
In general, Lelouch {Zero S1} "fixed" Kallen, he saved her from the doomed-future she had in the beginning of the show. And she acknowledges this and she wants to return it back. {i am leaving romantic feelings out of this, i am talking about more technical-details}
In fact, apart from romance, KallenxLelouch share a very strong bond, but it is being given more from the undertones of some events in the show and it is kinda difficult to detect, thus sometimes this bond is really underrated.

Though, frankly, i am 50/50 if Kallen would go through with Zero Requiem. I mean, i guess, eventually she would accept it and probably would help him, but, i believe she would not agree at all in the beginning. Oh well, we'll never know how she would react for sure, so let's leave it like this.
And btw, since the kiss-scene was mentioned, i tend to see that a few people still use the "cold-kiss-scene, it meant nothing" card. And i honestly fail to see this, in terms that it was completely the opposite. Even before the NT booklet or anything.
I mean, everything seems cold and distant, and yet when she reaches for him and pulls him close, he cant help but close his eyes and relish in her touch/kiss. {i always have to add a romantic touch when it comes to this couple even when i am trying not to, beats me why. |D;;}
Overall, romance or not {as leaving that one aside}, Kallen shares a very deep bond with Lelouch, from the start of S1. He was like her Pygmalion, from the moment he appeared in her life, he gave her hope, dreams and all these things she mentions in her poem.
So, it would actually be out of character if she had not insisted on following him more than one time.
Rationality + feelings for her are in sync, till episode 22.
After the confrontation with Lelouch and the "goodbye", it is her rationality {aka ideals+beliefs} that keeps her going, she tosses her emotions aside because she has to. <--in reference to Levy's post about the month-skip.

Reading all those theories....I'm pretty sure my idea in the comic was the only solution to build a Lelouch/Kallen relationship.
Only a big trauma could to explode Kallen feelings, in fact, few and she could to strangle C.C during the "psychological therapy"

Matrakci Nasuh was a famous Ottoman polymath, writer and knight who produced important books in several fields. He made contributions in the fields of mathematics, geography, history and calligraphy. He also invented a military lawn game called "Matrak", a kind of animation of battle.
Nasûh b. Karagöz al-Bosnawî or Nasûh b. Abdullah al-Silahî al-Matrakî or for short Matrakçi Nasuh Bey came from a Bosnian family. Either his father or grandfather was drafted into the state service. He was renowned in the 16th century as a mathematician, historian, geographer, cartographer, topographer, musketeer, and was an outstanding knight, calligrapher and engineer. Because he was a musketeer, he was also called al-Silâhî (the musketeer or gunman). He was a polymath thinker, writer, an artist (he pioneered a particular artistic style for depicting cities) and a theoretician. He wrote books in these fields, all in Turkish. A brief discussion of these books follows. He received the nickname "Matrakçi" after he created the game called Matrak. Matrak means 'amazing' in Turkish and 'çi' is a suffix. Therefore his nickname means "who plays (invents) the amazing game [1]."
Matrakçi Nasuh was educated and trained in the Palace school during the reign of Bayezid II (1481-1512) and studied with Sâî Çelebi, one of Sultan Bayezid II's teachers. During the reign of Sultan Selim I (1512-1520), he started to distinguish himself as a knight. He went to Egypt in 1520, for advanced studies and attended military games, at which he became unrivalled. He was given a decree on war games indicating his outstanding talent.
Inventor of the game called "Matrak"
|Figure 1: The paper fortresses of Matrakçi depicted in his book Tuhfat al-Ghuzat (Süleymaniye Library, Esad Efendi, MS 2206).
Matrakçi Nasuh was known as al-Matrakî because he invented a war game called matrak which was a contest with either a stick, called a labut, or a cudgel or rapier. The purpose of this widely used game was training for war. He also wrote a drill-book for it and taught it to the soldiers. A decree of 1529 of Sultan Süleyman Kanuni praises al-Matrakî as the master knight –"ustad" or "raîs"– of his time, incomparable in the whole Ottoman Empire in the art of war and methods of using the lance. He copied this decree into his book Umdat al-Hussab. According to the decree, he used to play war games while he was in Egypt during governorship of Hayr Bey.
Matrakçi Nasuh worked on the engineering aspects of weapon production, demonstrating his talent as a technical builder of machines when he constructed two moving fortresses made of paper for a celebration to mark the circumcision of Mustafa, Mehmed and Selim, the sons of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent in Sultanahmed Atmeydani on 21st June 1529 (see figure 1). According to his description, each fortress had five towers and four gates. The walls were decorated, guns and muskets were mounted on the walls and each fortress contained sixty armed men. The fortresses advanced towards each other from different sides of the arena when the first gate was opened, soldiers with swords came out, followed by soldiers with maces from the second, armoured soldiers with lances and white caps from the third and finally archers from the fourth gate.
|Figure 2: Matrakçi's plan of Baghdad showing the city plan with its great walls, buildings and streets (Topkapi collection). Reproduced on the website of Bilkent University. (Source).
Following this success, in 1529 Matrakçi Nasuh completed his five-chaptered book Tuhfat al-Ghuzât on the art of using and making weapons. In this illustrated work, he writes about arrows, bows, swords and maces, and gives information on military tactics and chivalry. He also mentions war games, military education, practices, and horsemanship with particular reference to the cavalryman. In one of the illustrations for the book, he drew his two moving fortresses.
Miniaturist, Calligrapher and Painter
Matrakçi Nasuh Bey was also a skilled illuminator and painter working with a group of other artists. He took part in several expeditions and sketched at least the outlines of his documentary paintings of townscapes from life. He drew relief type land maps for his Bayân-i Manâzil-i Safar-i Iraqayn-i Sultan Süleyman Khan. This book contains detailed information about Sultan Süleyman's first expedition against Safavid Iran between 1533 and 1536. Matrakçi's illustration drew every place where the royal army encamped during the expedition. He also described every city visited on the route from Istanbul to Baghdad via Tabriz including those cities captured from the Safavids. The army took a different route on the outward and return journeys. They went to Baghdad from Istanbul through Sivas-Erzurum, and returned by way of Diyarbakir-Aleppo [2]. The distance between each encampment was given in miles instead of hours of travel.

Matrakçi invented a new type of ta'lik style calligraphic script (see figure 5) called "kalem-i dîvânî" for the "Dîvânî" (or cep) in the central bureaucracy at the Dîvân, where he was head of the kalem-i divan clerks. Until that time, the Ottomans had used Iranian ta'lik style calligraphy.
Matrakçi as Historian
In 1520, Matrakçi began his career as a historian by making the first translation from Arabic into Turkish of al-Tabarî's famous history Târih al-Rasûl wa al-Mulûk. The title of this translation was Madjma' al-tawârikh, and the manuscript comprises three huge volumes. He also wrote a Turkish supplement to his translation as the fourth volume of the work. This includes the history of the Ottomans from their beginning to the year of 1551. But we have manuscripts from this period dealing only with the time of Bâyezid II, Selim I and Süleyman I, such as Ta'rikh-i Sultan Bâyezid wa-Sultan Selim, the illuminated Ta'rikh-i Sultan Selim, the illuminated Ta'rikh Sultan Bayezid, the illuminated Bayân-i Manâzil-i Safar-i Iraqayn-i Sultan Süleyman Khan. (also known as Majmua'-i Manâzil) (1537), Süleyman-nâme (between years 1520-1537), Fath-nâme-i Karabughdan (1538), the illuminated Ta'rikh-i Feth-i Shiklos wa Estergon wa Istolnibelgrad (contain years between 1542-1543), and the second part of the Suleymân-nâme (contains years between 1543-51). Finally, in 1550, with the encouragement of Rüstem Pasha, the famous Grand Vizier of Süleyman, he produced a second version of al-Tabarî's history, the Djâmi' al-tawârikh, by abridging the original. The part of the one large volume of Djâmi' al-tawârikh, containing the events of the reign of Süleyman up to 1561, is attributed to Rüstem Pasha himself.
Achievements in Mathematics
In the field of mathematics, Matrakçi wrote two books in Turkish with the purpose of facilitating the work of clerks of the imperial council (Divan kâtipleri) and the state accountants (muhasebeciler). These two books are important in understanding the development of Ottoman Turkish language to a level where it was suitable for use as a mathematical language. They are also important in following the history of the Ottoman solution of accountant's mathematical problems. It is the second most important book after Atmacaoglu's work in this field.
Matrakçi wrote his first book, Jamâl al-Kuttâb wa Kamâl al-Hussâb in 1517 and dedicated it to Sultan Selim I (1512-1520). His second book entitled Umdat al-Hussab fi'l-furûz al-mukaddar bi'l-kulliyat written in 1533, was an expanded version of the first.
Jamâl al-Kuttâb included two chapters. The first one on Indian numerals, mathematical operations, fractions, scales, and measurements. Although he says that the second chapter is devoted to "miscellaneous matters", we do not find it in any extant manuscript.

On the other hand, Umdat al-Hussab is an expanded version of the previous book in two chapters. The title of the first chapter is "miscellaneous subjects", it has twenty-two sub chapters (fasl). The second chapter is entitled "solution of the 50 problems". Some figures and diagrams were added in this version. In addition to the subjects mentioned, this book also contains weights, measurements (zira, endaze, kilejât, qantar, misqal, dirham), ratio, division with proportion and geometric methods, all essential for accountants. After every subject, Matrakçi gives examples offering new measurement divisions which were unknown before. In the first part, the six fundamental operations of classical arithmetic are extensively investigated for positive integers and rational numbers. In addition, the "double-false" rule used to find an exact solution for a linear equation is analysed. In the second part, several issues are explored. According to Matrakçi, these issues were rarely mentioned in previous manuscripts; but accountants should definitely learn them. The book deals with various subjects, such as inheritance and tax, essential to accountants; they are studied through examples of calculations. When Matrakçi wrote the second book, the first one had been almost forgotten. While we have about fifteen copies of the second book, only four copies remain of the first one. This indicates how common and well used by accountants the second book was.
Descriptive Geography
Matrakçi Nasuh was an important figure in the field of descriptive geography. His first noteworthy book Bayân-i Manâzil-i Safar Iraqayn (Explanation of encamping places of two expeditions of Iraq) was in Turkish. His miniatures showing the roads connecting Istanbul, Tabriz and Baghdad are like maps. His history of the 1534-36 campaign to Iran and Iraq includes a double folio depicting Istanbul with all the contemporary structures of the city shown in remarkable detail (see figure 6). The Golden Horn runs vertically in the centre, separating the Galata section with its famous tower (on the left) from the city proper (on the right), which includes such major structures as the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, At Meydani (Hippodrome), Grand Bazaar, Old Palace, and the complex (kulliya) of Mehmed II. A major document for the study of Istanbul in the 1530's, the illustration is an example of the topographic genre of painting initiated by Nasuh that continued for centuries.
|Figure 6: City of Istanbul and Develi illumination from Matrakçi's Beyân-i Menâzil-i Sefer-i 'Irakeyn. (Source).
As a result, Matraçi's land maps are considered equal with Piri Reis' Portland maritime maps to be found in his Kitâb-i Bahriye. Two other works of Matrakçi containing miniatures are important from a geographical perspective. In one called Ta'rikh-i Feth-i Shiklos wa Estergon wa Istolnibelgrad, Matrakçi drew the inns between Istanbul and Budapest as well as the cities of Nice, Toulon and Marseilles during Barbaros' visits and the Ottoman fleet with which he came (see figures 7 and 9). The other book called Tarih-i Sultan Bayezid includes miniature paintings of the places mentioned in the text.
As a member of the administration, Nasuh accompanied Süleyman the Magnificent on various campaigns and carefully recorded the events and illustrated the cities and ports conquered by the Ottomans. He participated in the Mohac campaign (1526) and the two Baghdad expeditions of Kanuni. He illuminated the picture of every city where the army was billeted or passed by. Turkish history institution (Turk Tarih Kurumu) published the city paintings he made during the expedition (edited and published by H. G. Yurdaydin, in 1976).
When he passed away on 28 April 1564, he was the head of the office of the kethüda-yi bargir (kethüdây-i istabl-i 'âmire /Chamberlain of the royal horses).
Matrakçi Nasuh may be compared with Leonardo da Vinci. A documentary film about him was produced by the Turkish Radio and Television in 1979.

Wayland professor honored with faculty award
Dr. Ann Stutes, assistant professor of music and chair of the music department at Wayland Baptist University, was presented the Maloney Faculty Award during Heritage Chapel on Wednesday.
The award recognizes a faculty member from the Wayland system, which includes 11 external campuses, for academic excellence and leadership, being an example of Christian commitment and dedication and making a positive contribution to the lives of students. The honor comes with a cash award as well.
The Maloney award was established by Dr. Mary Maloney, associate professor of business at Wayland's campus in Phoenix, Ariz., since 1993, through a foundation she set up in memory of her parents. Maloney spent much of her career at St. John's University in New York, serving in a variety of capacities, notably as vice president of the business school and later as assistant to the president for strategic planning.
Dr. Carl Moman, chair of the Division of Fine Arts, nominated Stutes for the award, noting, "she has done more than any other single music faculty member in regards to student music major retention through her innovations in the teaching of comprehensive musicianship in our music theory curriculum." Moman also noted Stutes' commitment to her faith and to Christian higher education.
"She demonstrates faithful dedication to the mission of Wayland Baptist University in everything she does," he wrote in the nomination letter. "Peer and student evaluations of her courses and numerous comments from students assure me that she makes very positive contributions in the lives of all of our music students."
Stutes has been a full-time member of the music faculty at Wayland since 1998, after serving five years as music instructor at Texas Tech University. She holds the bachelor's degree in music from Southwestern University, the master's degree in music from Northern Illinois University, and the Ph.D. in fine arts (with a music emphasis) from Texas Tech.
Since coming to Wayland, Stutes has served on several university committees. She is an accomplished violist, playing with the Plainview Symphony Orchestra. She also serves as a clinician and guest speaker for handbells and strings and has coordinated the music theory division and judged for the Pastorale Music Festival in Lubbock.
Stutes is a member of First United Methodist Church in Petersburg and is active in their music ministry. Her husband Randy is a teacher and coach in Petersburg.
Dr. Paul Armes, president of Wayland's Plainview campus, spoke highly of Stutes.
"Dr. Stutes is a wonderful example of what is best about Wayland. Her passion for teaching and her love for our Lord are the pivot points of her work on our campus," he said. "She genuinely cares about people - both students and staff - and looks for ways to demonstrate that care in an authentic and appropriate way."

Former auto czar Steven Rattner has agreed to pay a $10 million fine to settle a "pay-to-play" case that claimed the one-time reporter had handed out kickbacks in order to steer $150 million in New York State pension fund business to his Wall Street firm.
The settlement, approved by NY Attorney General – and Governor-elect – Andrew Cuomo also bars Rattner from having any dealing with any public New York pension fund for five years. But the former NY Times journalist still scored a victory. Cuomo had originally hoped to force Rattner to pay a $26 million fine and to bar him for life from working anywhere in the securities industry.
Rattner, who is worth a minimum of $188 million according to knowledgeable sources, served as the Obama Administration's first "auto czar," helping put in place the bailout of, among others, General Motors and Chrysler, in early 2009. But shortly after leaving the government he became enmeshed in an ongoing scandal involving the illegal efforts by various private equity firms to gain lucrative pension fund business.

I went through the health section, and did a search but there are SO MANY posts on allergy issues that I didn't think I'd be able to find anything relating to this, so forgive me if I just managed to miss them, and links to previous posts you guys know of are always helpful.
My friend, Rachel adopted Penny Lane, a pit bull mix a few months back. She is absolutely wonderful and a complete softie, but has terrible allergies. Rachel's boyfriend gets home from Afghanistan in about a month and a half, but was recently home on leave. He loves Penny, but is frustrated because he "didn't want a high-maintenance dog"... (beside the point, I have said over and over, she isn't high maintenance at all, because literally her ONLY problem/issue behavior and health wise is that she has allergies).
And I don't mean just like, itchy at some points allergies... they're REALLY bad. Rachel said she is constantly itching and it is normal for Penny to get the REALLY RED hivey looking irritation on her belly and under her legs.
They switched to our veterinarian who I love, and trust 100%--he has never steered us wrong with any of our three, and has always been able to find a solution for any issues we've had--always starting with the least-expensive options because he knows we aren't just rolling in the dough. He is very pit bull friendly, and goes on and on about our dogs and how great they are... I wouldn't go to any other vet in the area unless referred to a specialist or something by ours. With that being said, It seems like they have tried EVERYTHING imaginable to treat Penny's allergies. For the first few months Rachel kept her on the same food she ate at her foster home- I think it was diamond naturals. By my advice based on Harlow's allergies, she has since switched to TOTW pacific stream, but Penny's allergies haven't gotten better. Benadryl doesn't help, and they have gotten to the point where she has to give her two zyrtec daily to get a small amount of relief. They do medicated baths, and she DID have a skin infection initially, but since has tested negative for it or any kind of parasites. Rachel told me she was going to try claritin next, to see if it helps with just one-a-day, since technically two zyrtec daily is over the recommended dose. (the vet did okay this with her, though.)
I think the ONLY thing that has ever helped enough to make a difference has been prednisone, but obviously it's not ideal to make that a permanent thing, so Rachel is really hoping for some kind of answer. The only thing I know of that they haven't tried is to do the cortizone injections monthly, or whatever it is... but I have never really heard of anyone getting great results from that, which is why I assume the vet hasn't tried it.
Rachel is always coming to me for advice, and up until now I have always had something to recommend, but I sort of feel like they've tried anything I know to advise... So I was hoping I could get some ideas here, where I know so many people are managing dogs with severe-allergies. She says her boyfriend would never want to give Penny up or anything, but still she wants to find some kind of solution because Penny is sort of "her" dog in the sense that she was adopted while her boyfriend was out of the country, and she wants her to be just as part of their family as their other dog, who is a bombproof, picture of perfect health and everything.
so, any advice for me...for Rachel?

One of the PMO (premium member only) functions on GC is the ability to see who visited a cache page.
While this is only part of a cache that was also assigned as a PMO cache (visible only to paying members) by a PM it is kind of cool and occasionally useful.
I see a lot of visits to my own caches and it might be interesting to see exactly who is looking but not integral to the game.
I thought this might be a great function while exploring one of my own caches that was placed with the intent of protecting a desired location of an OCNA cache from the incursion of GC caches in the same spot. http://coord.info/GC5MKY8 and the protected http://www.opencaching.us/viewcache.php?cacheid=1842
It would be beneficial to both myself and the owner of the protected cache to see who clicked the link to the cache and / or eventually logged it.
I know this would not work for those that are not yet members but still....
Non members might be listed as a visit from "unknown" or "non-member" or their IP address while members could be listed by user name.
My guess is that this is above MrYucks expertise but as a long term desire for the site it might be a good addition to the "all the perks of a paid membership on the other site" mantra

Don Tennant has come to know a lot of CIOs and other IT leaders over the years, and if there's one quality that characterizes those who've been the most successful, it has to be their willingness to make tough decisions without feeling compelled to go through the time- and energy-sapping ordeal of trying to build a consensus or analyzing the situation to death. So when he spoke recently with Michael Feuer, the co-founder and longtime CEO of OfficeMax, he was nodding so much he says he felt like a bobblehead in an earthquake.
According to Don, Feuer, author of the book, "The Benevolent Dictator: Empower Your Employees, Build Your Business and Outwit the Competition," has, once and for all, debunked the myth that the best leaders are consensus builders. Don's interview with Feuer is posted here, but this excerpt from their conversation will give you an idea of where Feuer is coming from:
I can remember from my OfficeMax days, I loved the company except for three constituents: the employees, the customers, and the investors. Other than that, I had a great time every day of my life. But I know the IT guys would get so damn frustrated because they'd have to go through levels to get through the capital appropriations process. I happened to love IT, and I would sometimes just cut to the chase, bring in the thought leaders in a given project that needed money, and I'd say, "Tell me about it, explain to me what's in it for us." And then I'd say, "We'll make it happen," or "Don't waste your time, we're done." When I'd say "Make it happen," they were, of course, very pleased. When I said "Don't waste your time," they'd say, "Thanks," because they're not beating their heads against the wall, and they go do something else.
Sounds like the kind of leader every IT worker wishes he or she was working for, doesn't it?

Figshare is intended to be the place for all researcher to share its supplementary data or prepublication data so it can be reviewed. Also would be a way of sharing data between groups when working in large interdisciplinary and international multigroup projects.
The only caveats that I see are:
- Only 1 GB of free space. This is nothing when talking about images and data for a lab. It is OK to pay for your own backup , but if this initiative is successful and people start to use it for backing their papers, you would like to have all the data there for long time. Who is going to pay for keep the research data when you change lab or your are forced to leave remunerated science?
- I hope they have easy ways of export your data and metadata generated so all the effort and time used in creating this sceintific corpus in the web can be kept safe and replicated if the site disappear
This site has the support from Nature's sister company, Digital Science.

Installation must be performed in a command line terminal. For testing purposes, LiteSpeed Web Server can be installed into a home directory by a non-privileged user. For production use, it should be installed into a system directory.
In Mac OS X, the root user is disabled by default. It can be enabled using a series of actions detailed on the Apple website. You can also use the sudo command to install LSWS into a system directory without enabling the root user, but system folders will still only be manipulable by the root user. This means that every time you want to control LSWS from the command line terminal (like when you want to start or stop LSWS), you will have to use the sudo command.
Download and decompress the package into a convenient location:
wget http://open.litespeedtech.com/packages/openlitespeed.1.0.tgz; tar zxf openlitespeed.1.0.tgz
Go to the installation directory, compile, and install the package as the root user (for production use):
cd openlitespeed
make && make install
Note: The following packages need to be installed before compiling and installing OpenLiteSpeed: PCRE, Expat, OpenSSL, GeoIP, zlib.
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm; rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm (CentOS 5.* only)
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm; rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm (CentOS 6.* only)
yum install gcc gcc-c++ make glibc
yum install pcre-devel expat-devel openssl-devel geoip-devel zlib-devel
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install libpcre3-dev libexpat1-dev libssl-dev libgeoip-dev zlib1g-dev
Use pkg_add or ports. Here are some examples using ports.
cd /usr/ports/devel/pcre; make install clean; rehash;
cd /usr/ports/net/GeoIP; make install clean; rehash;
cd /usr/ports/textproc/expat2; make install clean; rehash;
cd /usr/ports/security/openssl; make install clean; rehash;
Install Xcode from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/install.php#pkg
sudo port install pcre expat openssl libgeoip zlib
Note: When OS X users run the configure command, they need to add a parameter telling the command where to look for the PCRE package if it is added via MacPorts. This is because MacPorts installs it in a non-standard location (/opt/local/). For example:
./configure --with-pcre=/opt/local
For detailed information on controlling the server processes, please see the Administration Guide.
To start the server, simply run [your_install_dir]/bin/lswsctrl start. (To stop it, run [your_install_dir]/bin/lswsctrl stop.)
A sample site should be running on the server.
To access your site, point your browser to http://[address]:8088/, [address] being the IP address or domain name of your web server machine. Use "localhost" if the server is on the machine you are using. "8088" is the default port. If you chose another port for LiteSpeed during installation, use the port you designated.
A congratulations page linked to other testing pages should load into the browser when pointed to the above address. If not, try testing the WebAdmin interface.
The default port for the WebAdmin console is 7080.
Plug http://[address]:7080/, into your browser to go to the WebAdmin interface. (If you changed the port for WebAdmin during installation, use that port instead.)
Remember that for [address] you can use "localhost" if you're currently using the machine the server is on.
The WebAdmin welcome page should load. Click the "Log on" link and use the administrator's user name and password specified during installation to log on.
For detailed information regarding configuration, please refer to our Configuration Guide, or click the "Help" link at the top of each page.
If your server uses firewall, please make sure that localhost is trusted.
For instance, Linux with IPTables should include a rule ALLOW INPUT from LO.
If your web site and the WebAdmin interface are inaccessible, please take a look at the error log [your_install_dir]/logs/error.log.
If there is a TCP port conflict with other server applications, the web server should be reinstalled with an available port. The following command can be used to find an available port: netstat -an | grep XXXX XXXX is a port number. If the port is available, the command will produce no output.
If the swapping directory is not writable, you can either grant writing permission for the swapping directory to the user whom the web server is running as, or change the swapping directory's configurations manually. The swapping directory is configured in the server's XML configuration file: [your_install_dir]/conf/httpd_config.xml. Search the XML file for swappingDir. The default location for the swapping directory is /tmp/lshttpd/swap.
If you still have problems with installation, please check out our wiki or post your problem on our support forum.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne missed practices throughout the offseason because of his wrist injury. He won't miss any practices in training camp because of his contract.
|Morris Claiborne signed a four-year, $16.26 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys on Monday. (James D. Smith/Associated Press)
Claiborne signed a four-year, $16.26 million deal with the Cowboys, a source with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network on Monday. No "offset" language is included in the contract, which has a fifth-year option.
The Cowboys' official website later confirmed the deal and said Claiborne's fully guaranteed contract includes a $10.3 million signing bonus.
With Mike Jenkins also arriving to training camp on time, the Cowboys finally will have the deep cornerback group that they envisioned. Claiborne reportedly was fully cleared for practice and will be ready to compete for a starting job on Day 1.
Claiborne figures to start opposite big free-agent signing Brandon Carr, assuming that August goes as planned for the rookie. Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick will battle for the reserve spots.
UPDATE: Claiborne tweeted later Monday about officially joining the Cowboys.
THANK YOU GOD!! I am officially a Dallas Cowboy! Now I can get some sleep tonight and get to work in the a.m. #CowboysNationâ Morris Claiborne (@MoClaiborne) July 23, 2012

Forget the Ides of March...
Beware the pitfalls of falling yarn.
I was on the phone with my sister tonight - going over my Ravelry queue and reviewing projects I have lined up, especially those I have identified for her daughter/my niece, the Onion, and my sister herself.
As it turns out, E spotted the Just Like A Peasant Cap in my queue and said she'd love one too. I went back to the wall o' yarn to scope out potential yarn matches. I spotted a gorgeous fawn colored wool/silk blend from our Nanna's stash that could work well for this hat. Inevitably, it was on the top shelf of the 9' 6" floor to ceiling bookshelves lining the back wall. So here I was, on the phone, standing on a chair, looking up to the top shelf and jumping up and down trying to grab said wool/silk blend. I knocked the desired yarn off the shelf, but in doing so, clobbered myself in the nose with another massive falling cone of yarn.
I would not wish for anyone to get hit on the nose with the cardboard base of a falling yarn cone. I was actually a little scared for the health of my rather wide-brimmed nose. All at once, I was laughing to E and trying to justify the tirade of expletives I had just unleashed while making my way to the bathroom to see if I was bleeding from the collision's impact.
Of course, once I had established that there was no bleeding, I had to weigh said falling yarn cone with my new digital kitchen scale. It clocked in at 1 lb 5 7/8 oz. I know there must be some sort of Newtonian formula to calculate the impact of yarn to nose based on weight, falling height, and resulting velocity. However, without getting into the math, I can assure you, it hurt like hell.
All is can say is, I really like my sister, and she better really like her Peasant Cap.

The Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA) recently affirmed the final determination
of a Certifying Officer (CO) denying labor certification (LC) for an alien worker for the position of "Assistant Director."
The employer filed a LC on behalf of an alien worker in August of 2006, where the Employer indicated that it had based its recruitment on the requirements for a non-professional position. In November of 2008, the CO denied certification because the Employer improperly relied upon the non-professional position requirements for recruitment, when the professional position recruitment requirements should have been conducted. The CO explained that the particular position was listed in Appendix A of the Preamble to 20 C.F.R. Part 656 as a Professional occupation, and recruitment should have been conducted accordingly. The Employer then filed a Motion to Reconsider arguing that the CO's allegation was made in error, that he did not file for a professional position, and that a bachelor's degree was not required. The CO stated that when a position is listed on Appendix A, the Employer must conduct the recruitment required for professional occupations, the mere listing as a non-professional position, and not requiring a bachelor's degree were irrelevant to the discussion. Since the additional recruitment steps were not taken, the CO had the authority to deny certification.
The CO then forwarded the case to BALCA. The Employer filed a Statement of Intent to Proceed with the appeal, and filed a brief arguing the same positions as listed above. The CO filed a letter brief arguing that its decision should be affirmed by the Board because the occupation was listed on Appendix A, and therefore recruitment in a manner prescribed for a professional position was required pursuant to the regulations.
Upon BALCA review, it was determined that professional recruitment requires a few additional steps not required for nonprofessional positions. Appendix A of the Preamble to 20 C.F.R. Part 656 provides an extensive list of professional occupations, which are defined as "occupations for which the attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree is a usual educational requirement, however, the educational degree is not determinative of whether an Appendix A occupation is considered a professional position. Thus, if an occupation is found on Appendix A, the employer must recruit the position under the criteria for professional occupations, even if the employer does not consider the position to be a professional one and does not require the attainment of a bachelor's degree. Here, the Employer did not require a bachelor's degree, but the position was listed in Appendix A, and the Employer was required to conduct the additional steps required for professional recruitment. In the present case, the Employer failed to conduct those additional steps and denial by the CO was proper.
Accordingly, the Board affirmed the decision of the CO in denying labor certification.

Memphis Music Hall Of Fame To Salute The Birthplace Of Rock And Roll
When it comes to Memphis, it's arguably the music that keeps the Tennessee city in the hearts and minds of people all over the world. Whether it's Stax Records, B.B. King, Elvis Presley, W.C. Handy, the Hi Rhythm Section, Booker T. & The MG's, or the Memphis Horns, the city has earned its reputation as the birthplace of rock and roll.
Since April 2000, Memphis' rich musical legacy has been highlighted at the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum, an institution that helps tell the story of the birth of rock and soul music. But what's been missing is a tribute to the city's wide-ranging role as a cauldron of creativity in the fields of blues, gospel, jazz, R&B, country, rockabilly, hip-hop, and more. That will change on Nov. 29 with the launch of the Memphis Music Hall of Fame and an induction ceremony for its first 25 honorees at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts.
The event will pay tribute to the city's musical heritage through video, spoken word and live performances from several of the hall's inaugural inductees, including Bobby "Blue" Bland, Booker T. & The MG's, George Coleman, Jerry Lee Lewis, Three 6 Mafia, and ZZ Top, among others. Children of late inductees Otis Redding and Rufus Thomas will present musical tributes to their fathers' respective musical careers.
"This project has been long overdue," says John Doyle, executive director of the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum, one of the organizations that helped make the dream of the Memphis Music Hall of Fame a reality. "People have been talking about a [Memphis Music] Hall of Fame for 30 years."
With the help of organizations such as the Rock 'n' Soul Museum, Smithsonian Institution, the Blues Foundation, the Center for Southern Folklore, and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, the idea was born to create a hall of fame that would touch on all genres that were "born or nourished in Memphis."
The Recording Academy Memphis Chapter has also played a vital role, says the Chapter's Senior Executive Director Jon Hornyak.
"The Memphis Music Hall of Fame is an important new player in the Memphis music scene and we want to help it flourish," says Hornyak. "Starting in the '80s, it became a priority of our Chapter to honor the individuals who had made significant contributions to music, bringing together the diversity that put Memphis music on the map. We'll continue to support the hall by providing content to which we have access, or helping to make connections between like-minded organizations. We have a common mission: promoting the understanding, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture."
Once the project started to gain momentum, a nominating committee was created to draft the names to be included in the inaugural class. The committee included Recording Academy Trustees Award recipient Al Bell, former chairman of Stax Records and former president of Motown Records; author Peter Guralnick, who has written books about Sam Cooke, Robert Johnson and Elvis Presley; author/filmmaker/producer Nelson George; and Deanie Parker, who had a lengthy career at Stax Records as a recording artist, producer, songwriter, and executive. According to Parker, the nominations process was laborious.
"We had meetings ad nauseum," she jokingly recalls. "We didn't want to be accused of being biased and there were so many prospects. We wanted to keep it as fair as possible and all-inclusive. We stayed with it until everyone was satisfied with the list. I'm a die-hard supporter of Memphis talent … [and] I was gung-ho about recognizing the people that made Memphis a music mecca."
While additional inaugural inductees include Stax Records co-founders Estelle Axton (a Recording Academy Trustees Award recipient) and Jim Stewart, storied session player and producer Jim Dickinson, GRAMMY winners Al Green and Isaac Hayes, Sun Records founder and Academy Trustees Award recipient Sam Phillips, and Presley, the hall also has plans to honor individuals who helped nourish the musical community. Tributes are in the works for inductees Jimmie Lunceford, Memphis' first high school band director who organized the Chickasaw Syncopators, a student band that eventually performed at the legendary Cotton Club; Dewey Phillips, a DJ at Memphis' WHBQ-FM who was the first person to broadcast a Presley record on air; and Lucie Campbell, a gospel composer who also taught choral singing to future gospel stars such as Marian Anderson.
"Music in Memphis was an explosion, not a gradual progression," Doyle explains. "The depression pulled indigent farmers into the city and their music mixed with the field hollers and blues of the African-American community and the more organized sounds of black gospel music. Juke joints and bars flourished. The yellow fever epidemic of 1878 made a lot of whites flee the city, making it more racially diverse and sparked musical cooperation between blacks and whites. … Memphis was an early center for the Civil Rights Movement and fed into the unbridled rebelliousness of white teenagers."
The Memphis Music Hall of Fame will begin as an online project that will feature biographical information for all inductees.
"That will start to build some political, social and financial momentum and we'll see how it manifests in the city," Doyle explains. "We're exploring such possibilities and opportunities as art installations to help brand the city as a musical destination, mural projects to involve visual artists and tours throughout the city to important musical sites. Everybody knows Sun Records and Graceland, but that's only part of the story."
With an impressive roster of Memphis artists to celebrate, an eventual physical display of the Memphis Music Hall of Fame is certainly on the minds of organizers.
"We're not only thinking about the initial induction, but what this project will look like 20 years from now," says Doyle.

So you've probably heard that Google is launching its own Fibre network in Kansas City, well here it is, with Google starting to ramp up information around the massive project, starting with this video, Introducing Google Fiber: The Next Chapter of the Internet, upping Internet speeds by upto 100x.
The installation is of course real, in typical Google style, a hand crafted set complete with electromagnetic powered cars, and brilliantly shot for the video. If you're in Kansas City, you can check this out in person at the Fiber Space building. So my only question on the Google Fibre network is, if they already know so much about users through data collection, what's going to happen when get become the ISP themselves? How dangerous could this be?!

Jordan Bird -- Goucher College
When Jordan Bird crossed the stage at Goucher College's commencement ceremony Friday, he wasnt wearing a cap and gown. The Hamilton resident and Anne Arundel County native got his diploma, though. Instead of the robes his classmates wore, Bird donned what he is most comfortable in, and proud of -- his U.S. Marine Corps uniform, along with a white-bordered black hood signifying his bachelor of arts degree in sociology. Bird's route to the graduation stage was long -- he started at Towson University in 2003 but, feeling aimless there, felt a pull to the Marines. After tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he returned to college at Goucher with new motivation. Eventually, he realized he could use his education to continue to honor his military roots. "I was at a time in my life where I didn't know what I wanted to do," Bird said of his decision to abandon college. It was an adjustment when he decided to come back, but "when you start something, you just have to finish it," he said. Along the way, his ambitions became clear. Bird, 26, is a 2003 graduate of Arundel High School. At that time, while he was intrigued by stories of a friend's brother enlisting in the Marines, he followed the typical path to college at Anne Arundel Community College and then Towson. He shifted from majors in accounting to criminal justice to sociology, but after three years, he still felt aimless. He walked into a Marines recruiting office and enlisted at age 20. After training at Parris Island, S.C., and Camp Lejeune, N.C., he spent seven and a half months in Fallujah, Iraq. A year later, he went on to Helmand province, Afghanistan, both times working as an artillery surveyor, helping to direct fire. When his service was up, Goucher was a friendly option to resume his studies because he would often drive to the Towson campus from Camp Lejeune to visit his girlfriend, Susie, who was studying education there. Susie Bird is now his wife and a teacher at City College high school in Baltimore. While studying at Goucher, he found a new passion volunteering with Talmar Gardens and Horticultural Therapy Center, helping the nonprofit launch a program providing treatment to veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. He plans to do more of the same after completing a master's in social work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, where he will enroll in the fall. -- Scott Dance

A post-graduate judicial clerkship is a one- or two-year position working with a federal or state judge. For those interested in litigation, a clerkship provides a unique opportunity to see first-hand how the judiciary functions; for those not interested in litigation, a clerkship is still a great opportunity to sharpen research, writing, and legal analysis skills. It is an intense experience, filled with substantial legal research and writing assignments, and can be an important career credential that opens doors in the future.
The Career Services Office is ready to assist students through every aspect of the clerkship application process, well before Fall hiring begins:
How to Apply
The vast majority of federal judges require that applications be submitted online through the OSCAR system. Application materials include a cover letter, resume, transcript, writing sample, and two or three letters of recommendation by faculty members or other individuals who know the quality of your written work. The deadline to upload your materials is typically Labor Day of your final year of law school.
Most state clerkship applications are submitted through the mail, but the materials required are the same as those for federal clerkships. Most state clerkship deadlines are in the late summer and early Fall of a student's final year in law school. To review the requirements of all state court clerkships nationwide, click here. For ID and password information, email us or call 631.761.7030.
For assistance with clerkship applications, contact Assistant Dean Margarett Williams via email or by phone at 631.761.7030.

"Like, I'm just giving of my body on the stage; I'm putting my life at risk, literally!" West said of his live performances.
And the biggest risk, according to the "I Am a God" rapper, is the manufactured mountain he performs atop during his current Yeezus concert tour.
"I think about when I'm on the 'Can't Tell Me Nothing,' and 'Coldest Winter' moment, like that mountain goes really, really high. And if I slipped … You never know," he said. "And I think about it, I think about my family and I'm like, 'Wow.' … This is like, being a police officer or something, in war or something."
His safety wasn't the only thing West felt the need to discuss during the chat, in which he also referred to himself as "great, like Michelangelo." His performances and the perils he and his fiancee Kim Kardashian face dealing with public scrutiny and the paparazzi are something he plans to tell his daughter North about one day.
"I'll explain to my daughter one day that me and her mother, we had to fight for this position that we'll finally have," he said.
This latest verbal outpouring from West follows in the wake of his appearance on a speaking panel at Art Basel last week where he told attendees that his next "next album is going to be eight songs."
His current album, Yeezus, included just 10 songs.
"It's just reducing down the amount of information that you need. People say a design is the point where you can't take anything else away. [Yeezus] was very, very designed," explained West at the Surface Magazine's Design Dialogues event. "I took a departure from radio and popular music in order to get this seat here. If I hadn't made Yeezus, I wouldn't be sitting here with this cool font at Basel right here."
