IBM on Tuesday expanded its ability to reach the entry-level SMB storage market with the introduction of the IBM Storwize V3700 storage array.
The IBM Storwize V3700 includes the same code stack as the company's higher-end Storwize V7000 and its SAN Volume Controller (SVC) storage virtualization technology, said Ed Walsh, vice president of marketing and strategy for IBM storage.
That includes all the same features like replication, thin provisioning, self-optimized flash tier and Cloud Agile, which is the ability to take advantage of cloud storage technology for replication and recovery of data, all in an array that lists starting at under $11,000, Walsh said.
[Related: IBM To Buy Texas Memory Systems (TMS), Challenge EMC, Startups In Flash Storage]
"There are no compromises," he said. "In a lot of cases, you need compromises at this price point. We don't. It was easy to do -- we just brought our enterprise code to the new array."
The Storwize V3700, with the same robust technology found in the V7000 and the IBM SVC, will drive great technology at the price point, said Lief Morin, president of Key Information Systems, a Woodland Hills, Calif.-based solution provider and IBM partner.
"It's a winner for IBM," Morin said.
The IBM Storwize V3700 packs up to 12 3.5-inch or 24 2.5-inch hard drives in a 2U chassis complete with one or two controllers, 4 GB to 8 GB of cache per controller and support for either 1-Gbps iSCSI, 10-Gbps iSCSI or 8-Gbit Fibre Channel connectivity.
Because of its shared code base with the SVC, the Storwize 3700 is a low-cost way to provide seamless migration of storage to the IBM line, Walsh said. "With the SVC virtualization we have had for years, you can put the V3700 in a new environment and easily migrate storage to it without disrupting operations," he said.
About 80 percent of IBM's midrange storage revenue comes from indirect sales channels, and that will likely be the case with the Storwize 3700, he said.
General availability is slated for sometime later this month, he said.
With the introduction of the Storwize V3700, IBM now has three different storage arrays targeting the entry-level midrange storage market, including the DS3500, which is based on the Engenio platform acquired by NetApp, and a member of the N-series, which is IBM's OEM version of NetApp's FAS Filer family.

White House pushes for incentive spectrum auctions
The Obama administration has enlisted the help of more than 100 economists to make its case for incentive spectrum auctions that will free up more airwaves for wireless broadband services.
Today, the White House presented a letter signed by 112 economists "who specialize in telecommunications, auction theory and design, and/or competitive policy." The signed letter was part of a summit that the administration put together in an effort to persuade Congress to authorize a round of incentive auctions that would take unused broadcast TV spectrum and use it for wireless broadband services.

DfE Quality Mark
Celebrating 10 years of Quality Mark Status
Celebrating 10 Years of Quality Mark Status
With the ever stronger focus on quality and safeguarding it is vital that you can trust the agency you choose to source your staff or to find you work. We have developed the best systems and processes in our industry to ensure the highest levels of safeguarding. Our guarantee and commitment to you is that we take the quality of our service as our number one priority.
April saw the Synarbor Group undergo its annual Quality Mark accreditation audit, during the course of the audit the inspector looked at the files of teachers registered with Synarbor Education, Supply Desk and Teach In. All three companies in the group achieved the 100% pass mark during the re-accreditation visit.
"This award acknowledges the dedication and professionalism that go into ensuring these stringent standards of compliance are met on a daily basis. In maintaining the standards, you are a credit to the reputation of the industry".
Andrea Papaconstantinou Quality Mark Assessor
We also discussed our interviewing process, including the Warner style of interviewing(evokes emotional responses), how we confirmed assignments, our extensive training programme for both staff and candidates, plus how we gather and share feedback on candidate and service performance. The inspector confirming that many of these were unique amongst the Quality Mark agencies.
We were first awarded the Quality Mark in 2002 and this 100% award is our tenth anniversary year, formally acknowledging our continued commitment to achieving and maintaining the highest standards in education recruitment.
What is the Quality Mark & why is it important :
The Quality Mark is the Department for Education's quality standard for Education Supply Agencies. Its main objectives are
- To recognise private sector supply agencies and LAs who are able to demonstrate that they meet standards of good practice in managing and providing supply teachers for schools
- To enable schools and temporary teachers to feel confident about the quality of the agencies and LAs with whom they are dealing
- To raise the standard and status of supply teaching
- To recognise the contributions made by supply teachers, agencies and LAs in supporting schools.
What are the benefits of the Quality Mark?
For Schools
It will give increased confidence to schools, parents and pupils that staff supplied by Quality Mark holders have gone through a rigorous selection process that encompasses the relevant checks and correct recruitment procedures. It also offers assurance that legal obligations have been met as well as the provision of access to CPD for all teachers.
For Teachers
Teachers will be confident that they have selected an accredited and reputable service that will add value to their experience as supply teachers. It was also offer assurance that all legal obligations have been met as well as the provision of access to CPD for all teachers.

Mary Wilson of the Supremes interview – Getting Biographical with Mary Wilson (Part 2 of 2)
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
S02 Ep14 (Part 2 of 2) - Getting Biographical with Mary Wilson
Interview Date: August 6, 2012 @ 1pm
Special Guest: Mary Wilson - One of the founding members and the only consistent artist of The Supremes. The Supremes were Motown's biggest stars, scoring 12 number one hits in five years. In this half of the interview, Wilson covers The Supremes first hit "Where Did Our Love Go, The Supremes in the face of the civil rights movement, and touches on some of the stars that graced the halls of Motown.
The Rocky Road to becoming The Supremes
The Supremes seemed to be Hitsville's wellspring, but getting there wasn't as easy as snapping your fingers to one of their songs; The Supremes went through line-up changes and some bitter strife just like any band. It didn't necessarily help that Smokey Robinson stole the girls' guitar player, Marv Tarplin, after they went to Berry Gordy's studio for their audition at Motown. Smokey had a good eye for talent, obviously, because Tarplin went on to help write some of Smokey Robinson and The Miracles' biggest his, including "The Tracks of My Tears." Tarplin came to be known as "The Miracles' Secret Wheapon." Fortunately, Gordy could back up The Supremes and anyone else he wanted to support with one of the best backing bands from any time period - The Funk Brothers.
The Supremes, known as the Primettes before they were signed to Motown (named as the female counterpart to The Primes, who later became The Temptations) were actually formed by Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson. Diane Ross (she was known as Diana later) was brought in by Wilson shortly thereafter, and Betty McGlown came in to make the original foursome. They were initially turned away by Gordy because of being so young, and were told to come back after they graduated High-School. Through their persistence and dedication, they captured Gordy's attention and were allowed to contribute on studio recordings.
Early on, and before their identity as a pop group had taken firm hold, the girls in the group actually shared singing lead, with the girls singing in the style that they generally preferred. This, you can imagine, led to competition. Tempers tended to run high even before the weight of stardom. It was Gordy's decision, of course, to place Ross as the lead and to steer the sound towards pop and away from soul. As Mary Wallace explains in the interview, she learned that Gordy shied away from using "every element" of the gospel sound.
What seems so completely baffling about the history of The Supremes is their absolute dismal start. Nothing they produced charted, even despite Gordy's invested efforts to push and promote the band. Rumour has it that they were dubbed the No-Hit Supremes for about three years due to their poor start. But by 1964, they had a #1 hit with "Where Did Our Love Go" and were quickly on their way to becoming the most successful chart topping pop group in America. "With the release of this album, The Supremes became the first act in Billboard magazine history to have three number-one hits from the same album. It was the album that introduced "The Motown Sound" to the masses. It was also, at the time, the highest ranking album by an all female group. It remained in the #2 position for 4 weeks, in January 1965, remaining on the Billboard charts for an unprecedented 89 weeks."1
But success was no solution to ease the troubles that already present, plus the added stress and heavy touring took it's toll. Florence was unable to perform some shows leaving Diana and Mary to perform as a duo. Different stories go around, but it wasn't long before Flo was out of the group she built with Mary.
Troubles continued after the formative years, but they were able to roll out a steady stream of hits, and despite the inner strife and bitterness, it's really about the music. If one pays attention to that, you can recognise the positive impact The Supremes had on music and in the role of race relations in America during turbulent times.
Parting Thoughts:
Although we wholly support the independent record store, Mary Wilson's new single from her upcoming album can be found at Amazon or iTunes

August 19th, 2012 - 02:56Hail Mary. Over fifty years in show business, it's no fluke that Mary is still here. One of my favorite youTube segments is the Irving Berlin tribute on Ed Sullivan when the Sups share a moment with Ethel Merman. Mary's performance speaks volumes about her talent and her instincts. I'm not challenging in any way Diana's magic but Mary, in her early twenties, was a brilliant performer.
I've always been a Supremes fan from the beginning. Enjoyed the interview.
Mary Wilson is a great singer and superb performer. She has always been my favorite! She is also still gorgeous! I look forward to her new album.

Looking for somewhere to write
Right - I was doing some games writing (mostly reviews, occasional feature) for The Digital Fix, but they changed their copyright terms for contributors to be a bit too grabby, so alas, we parted ways. Now looking for a new home for my games stuff, rather than going back to sticking it on my own blog. I mostly covered indie stuff (console and PC) especially point-and-click adventures. Will happily write for free as long as no-one's making money off it.
And if anyone knows anywhere after TV writing then let me know too. Especially if they want rants about The Apprentice.

Presented to: Benson Parkinson
The first award established by the Association for Mormon Letters in 1978 was in the category of criticism, and no activity can be considered more central to the mission and vision of this body than enabling meaningful conversations. As Wayne Booth has said, Mormonism "will never attain a great artistic culture until we have achieved a great critical culture." That critical culture is indeed developing, and it has grown exponentially in recent years due to the pioneering vision and indefatigable efforts of Benson Parkinson.
Back in 1995, before e-mail became so widely used, Benson foresaw the utility of establishing an online conversation about Mormon letters and in May of that year inaugurated AML-List. Since that time, hundreds and hundreds of scholars, students, church members, and the casually interested from all over the world have become part of an online community dedicated to analyzing the aesthetic, cultural, pragmatic, and spiritual aspects of Mormon-related literature. The membership of the Association for Mormon Letters has swelled as a direct consequence of AML-List, and our meetings now reflect the influx of many younger writers and critics and the broader variety of literary genres represented by AML-List subscribers. For all but two or three days of the year when our live events take the foreground, AML-List is the Association for Mormon Letters. It has become a clearinghouse for news about LDS literature, a resource for budding writers, a forum for literary experts and lay readers, and a vehicle for announcing and promoting readings, book signings, conferences, and online resources of interest to AML members.
The guiding force behind the list has been Benson Parkinson. As moderator of the list until last year, Benson not only solved many technical problems, especially before e-mail became more established, but he also read every post to the list-literally thousands-to screen out both digressions and diatribes, continually reminding the participants of the goals and texts central to this body. AML-List could have had a shorter and less meaningful life if it had not been overseen by a well-read, good-natured, and articulate critic who knew how to tame this novel medium and turn it to account.
Benson established regular columns, including outlets for news, bibliographies, new creative writing, and especially reviews. To date, some 400 reviews have appeared on AML-List, most of which were made possible through the mediation and editing of Benson Parkinson. The AML's literary quarterly, Irreantum, was born out of the vision and the community of personnel Benson Parkinson has fashioned over the last five years. As Robert Hogge adumbrated in his recent AML presidential address, the Association for Mormon Letters has been reborn electronically, and Benson Parkinson has been the midwife to that great renewal.

Obama is a many singularly devoid of his own accomplishments. There are types of men who must build their legacy on the acts of others. Obama is one of those. His legacy of war is not only dangerous but opens the door for America's defeat.
What is his legacy?
Obama's primary military legacy is the use of UAV's or drones. Drones are great for a cowardly President. He can order the drone to hit a target and if there is success, he can claim the glory for it and if the drone fails, there is no captured American pilot or the corpse of an American pilot to be paraded about on TV.
In Obama's military, gone are the swaggering fighter jocks of Top Gun or World War Two. Instead, Obama warfare is little more than a very expensive video game.
The use of robots in warfare may be the Obama doctrine and it maybe Obama's legacy, but it is a dangerous legacy.
The dangerousness of our dependency on drones and not American pilots was recently revealed when computer "mal-ware" infected a part of the drone system. The Air Force Space Command says that virus did not affect any of the flight control systems. Instead it was a virus designed to steal logins for video games.
But this is a greater threat than just an inconvenient computer virus. With our growing dependency on drones to carry out military operations, it is now becoming a question of when and not if, a hostile power will be able to hack into the controls and redirect some of those drones.
Last year, news surfaced that a computer worm called "Stuxnet" had been introduced into Iran's nuclear facilities and the worm had done so much damage that Iran's nuclear ambitions were pushed back significantly.
Everyone assumed that the Stuxnet worm was a sophisticated effort by a nation state to knock Iran back. Everyone assumed only a nation state could put together the kind of resources it would take to create such a computer worm.
Now, computer hackers using very modest labs and with a very small budget are replicating what Stuxnet did. The implications of this are horrifying.
American infrastructure, not to mention our military is going to become increasingly vulnerable to this type of hacking over the next years.
Thanks to the Obama legacy this could even be worse.
Under the Obama Defense Department, unmanned vehicles are the flavor of the day. Unmanned vehicles do have their uses, but as our primary military strike tool, they leave a lot to be desired.
Of course, for liberals, there is only one consideration with the military. In liberal land, the military must never be a political embarrassment for the liberal President. Yes, they can be around to transport the President. Yes they can be around for disaster relief. But if there is a military operation, they had better not screw up and end up with collateral damage or Americans captured or killed.
That is why Obama and the left love drones so much.
Unfortunately, there are far too many risks with the drones. With almost all of our computer components now imported, it defies belief to think the Chinese, who manufacture many of those components have not included software or even hardware back doors so they can access these components if there is hostilities between America and China.
Liberals never ask the important question about defense. What are our threats and how do we defend ourselves? Instead, defense is always a political question. How do we have defense without "embarrassing" the liberal President? The answers they come up with are always wrong.
By relying on technology alone, without American airmen and soldiers actually doing the fighting, Obama is creating a legacy like his liberal predecessors.
A hollow defense that may not serve America in her time of need.
Almost on cue!
...for those who doubted me...

For many storm victims whose homes were battered or destroyed by Sandy, the answer is "rebuild." Governor Cuomo has an alternative.
Sandy's Legacy
On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy was churning its way up the East Coast from the Caribbean when it made a sharp left turn into the New Jersey and New York coasts and collided with a cold front from the West, creating a "ferocious Nor'Easter."
The storm then mixed with a high pressure air mass over Greenland -- what's known as a "blocking ridge" -- producing an even more destructive storm: a "superstorm." Hurricane Sandy had become Superstorm Sandy as it set its sights on the New York metropolitan area.
When all is said and done, Superstorm Sandy may well turn out to be second only to 2005′s Hurricane Katrina in terms of cost, and second only to 2003's Hurricane Isabel in terms of energy. (For more, see this article, this photo set with running commentary, and a timeline.)
The Associated Press reports that "the storm was behind the deaths of at least 146 people in the United States" and "71 additional deaths in the Caribbean."
In New York Sandy "damaged or destroyed 305,000 housing units." The damages are in the billions. In hard-hit areas of Queens and Staten Island some residents are still without electricity and/or heat in frigid temperatures. And federal aid, which was super slow to pass through Congress (the second of two packages was approved in late January) apparently will be slow actually reaching troubled NYC businesses and homeowners -- who shouldn't expect the emergency and relief funds any time before April or even May.
And now, with federal aid finally on the way, the question facing homeowners and their political leaders is: what now? Rebuild ... and hope that another major storm will not soon follow, making it necessary to start all over?
It's a fair question any time a natural event decimates a community, but it is especially salient for coastal communities in a warming world with rising sea levels and an expectation of more frequent severe storms.
Cuomo Proposes a Buyout Plan to Nip Coastal Problems in the Bud
While many displaced New Yorkers had rebuilding on their minds in the weeks and months after the storm (disaster assistance deadline is Feb 27), New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was apparently thinking of alternatives.
He provided a broad-brush vision of an alternative option in his State of the State speech on January 9:
"I've talked to homeowners who have dealt with serious floods three, four, five times over the past few years. Many of them are saying I don't want to have to do it again. I'd rather buy out the parcel and move on. There are some parcels that Mother Nature owns. She may only visit once every few years, but ... when she comes to visit, she visits. We want to run a program that will provide the funds to buy out those homeowners who don't want to rebuild and want to move on to higher ground literally, and that would be smart."
While Cuomo has yet to fill in the details, media outlets have reported that up to $400 million of federal recovery funds could be available for those who opted for the voluntary buyout, should the federal government approve it. Last week aides to the governor were in Washington, pitching the idea to the federal powers that be.
A Radical Idea?
This may sound like a wild proposal, but for years FEMA funds have helped buy out property owners whose homes were destroyed by storms and floods. Last July, in Pennsylvania's Lower Swatara Township 14 owners received buyouts for properties damaged in Tropical Storm Lee, and in August FEMA approved buyouts for Hurricane Irene victims in Vermont.
In 1997 some 700 homes were bought out through a FEMA program in Grand Forks, North Dakota. And how did that turn out? Reuters reports: "When the Red River flooded next in 2006, losses had dropped to $6.5 million from $3.7 billion during the flood nearly a decade earlier, according to FEMA."
It's far from a wild proposal for many coastal scientists, such as the Nicholas School's Orrin Pilkey:
"The idea of purchasing storm-damaged homes is viewed by many as the most feasible approach to retreating from the shoreline that has a chance of success," Pilkey told me in an e-mail, calling Governor Cuomo's proposal "momentous."
He continued: "Although taxpayers will pay the bill, in the long run this will save money. It's what we should be doing anyway. Because if we don't, a lot of state and FEMA money will go to replacing buildings that will only be destroyed in the next big storm."
How Would the Sandy Buyout Work?
There are some 10,000 homes in the most flood-prone areas that would be eligible for the governor's plan, of which only 10 to 15 percent are believed will opt to participate.
As the New York Times reports:
Homeowners would be offered "the pre-storm full market value of their houses. Homeowners who chose to relocate within their home county would receive a 5 percent bonus above the market value, as part of a government effort to encourage them to stay nearby."
Additional incentives could go to more vulnerable residents who "would be allowed to sell their homes even if the homes suffered little, or possibly even no, damage from the hurricane, and the state would pay them an additional 10 percent bonus, above market value, to sweeten the deal."
In the highest-risk areas certain blocks would be offered a 10 percent bonus on top of everything else if the entire to block agreed to be bought out.
And what would happen to all this newly acquired land? It could be turned into public parkland (like Manhattan's popular Hudson River Park), public beaches, or wildlife sanctuaries where "dunes, wetlands or other natural buffers … would help protect coastal communities from ferocious storms."
All those parklands and wildlife sanctuaries sound idyllic to me and perhaps to you, but don't get too excited. Remember the program would be voluntary. And there will likely be "holdouts" who refuse to move. How do you maintain a wildlife sanctuary with John and Mary Smith stubbornly holding on to their beachfront bungalow smack dab in the middle of said sanctuary? I guess that's one of the kinks that would have to worked out.
So What Are the Residents Saying?
Course the big question is: will folks move? Or will they opt to stay put and prepare to hunker down when the next storm comes?
The jury is still out.
There have been lots of favorable comments like this one from Assemblyman Joe Borelli (R-South Shore): "I was extremely impressed with his hurricane relief package, the new building codes and his buy-out relief option for repeat flood areas."
James Molinaro, the borough president of Staten Island, where some of the worst damage was done and where many homeowners are still displaced and/or without electricity or heat, agrees: "The buy-out, the rebuild, that's right up my alley."
But, not all that surprisingly, others are less sanguine:
"There's an expression: we have the sand in our shoes," said Harvey Weisenberg, a Democratic assemblyman from the badly hit Long Beach, N.Y. on Long Island. "Once you're here, you never want to leave, and if you do leave, you want to come back."
Another resident from the Far Rockaways in Queens told the New York Times: "Nobody wants to leave here. Where would I go? To Astoria? To Brooklyn? No!"
And there's another problem to consider: flood-vulnerable lands are migrating further inland with climate change, putting what used to be more secure residents at risk. Even if Cuomo's proposed buyout program is a success, and fully implemented it may be inadequate to deal with what's coming. In that sense you might say that Superstorm Sandy is just the tip of the melting iceberg.

"When doing an updo, it always helps to start with a base," says hairstylist Sokphalla Ban. "Use a medium-barrel curling iron to give lift to the hair and thicken it a bit. This is an essential step for this glamorous style." Sokphalla says that for petite brides, an updo is a fabulous option. "Especially if your gown is big and billowy, a lot of fabric can make you feel shorter. So, you create lift and height with the hair."
The first thing to do after curling the hair is to brush it out not enough to lose the waves, just enough to smooth it and blend it all together.
"Keep the sides pretty loose and just sweep the hair back; this is going to give it some softness," says Sokphalla. "It's also going to give the illusion of high cheekbones."
Click here for a printable image of this updo for your hairstylist.
Next, take two invisible elastic bands and separate the hair into two ponytails, one above the other, in the back of your head. Once the ponytails are secured, take sections of each ponytail and, starting at the ends, roll them toward the head, pinning them in place with bobby pins. Roll the top ponytail first, then the bottom, leaving pieces closest to the middle for last.
"It's important to leave the middle section for the end," Sokphalla says. "This is where we connect everything. You don't want to be able to tell that there's any separation."
Once the basic shape comes together, go back through with more bobby pins to separate the rolls and give the hair more distinction.
"You can lift pieces, do a little tweaking, twisting, and tucking here and there," Sokphalla says. "Updos do not have to be complicated! The beautiful thing about this one is that you can place it wherever you want. More to the side, higher up, lower down whatever. It's more about your instinct and how you feel your hair wants to go; it's very loose, not contrived, and doesn't require a lot of product in your hair that leaves it unable to move."
You can clean up the style with a bit of medium-hold hair spray and a comb.
"It's okay if some pieces are imperfect," Sokphalla says. "If there are some flyaways around the face and neckline, it gives life to the look."
If you're trying this look yourself, remember these tips:
Thicken hair first, either with a thickening spray (if you have really thin hair) or a medium-barreled curling iron.
Use hairpins that are the closest match to your hair color.
Use clear elastic bands. "This is essential," Sokphalla says. "The hair should look somewhat organic. You don't want to draw attention to things like the hair bands and take away from the gorgeous hair."
Practice makes perfect. Definitely try this out several times before the big day to make sure you get it perfect.
If you want to incorporate hints of your gown or wedding into your hair, do it subtly, especially if you have a lot going on with your dress. "It's nice to sometimes add a little something to your updo, a hint, just a little tease," says Sokphalla. "Whether it's diamonds or flowers, place them artfully and seemingly randomly. When you're dancing or taking off your veil, seeing those subtle pieces makes the hair a little more special."

Southwestern is committed to providing all students with a quality legal education, as well as ensuring that all students are given every opportunity to succeed. There are a myriad of programs and resources to help students successfully navigate the maze of law school.
Students can obtain help through the Academic Support Program and the Writing Center on anything from exam preparation strategies to effective cover letters. The Academic Support Program includes individual and small group academic assistance. The Writing Center is available to all Southwestern law students who want to strengthen their legal writing skills.
Important information will continue to be sent to students until the start of classes. Students who anticipate an address/telephone change at any time before they register for their first-year courses must notify the Admissions Office in writing as soon as possible. Once registered for classes, address changes should be submitted online through WebAdvisor, which may be accessed through the Portal. See the information under Registration and WebAdvisor for details.
The Dean's announcements are posted in the glass-enclosed case in the first floor lobby of Westmoreland building. Career Services announcements are posted outside their office on the third floor of the Westmoreland Building; Dean of Students, Financial Aid, and Registration and Academic Records announcements are posted in the glass-enclosed cases in W102; Externship announcements are posted outside W231; and Student Affairs announcement appear outside W233. Please refer to them periodically for up-to-date information.
Students are also urged to review all bulletin boards located between elevators, in the stairwells and on the second floor outside the SBA and student honors program offices of the Westmoreland Building, and other bulletin boards throughout the law school. Video monitors displaying important notices are located in the lobbies of both building and in the Tea Room.
The books required for all first-year students will be available for purchase and rental in the Southwestern Bookstore (located on the lower level of the Westmoreland Building) prior to the beginning of the semester. Textbooks may also be purchased online. During the academic year, the hours are:
Regular Bookstore hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. - 7 p.m., and Fridays, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. The bookstore is open the Saturday before and after the first week of classes from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. During the summer, the Bookstore operates on limited hours - please see the website for more details.

Students must register as a law student with the Committee of Bar Examiners within ninety (90) days after commencing the study of law. The "Registration as a Law Student" application may be accessed at www.calbar.org and must be submitted directly to the Bar Admissions Section of the State Bar of California.
The Dean of Students and Diversity Affairs Office is responsible for coordinating accommodations for students with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and state and local requirements. For further information, please refer to the Disability Policy, as printed in Southwestern's Student Handbook. Those requiring accommodations for a disability should contact the Disability Specialist at (213) 738-6888 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
A Southwestern email account is established for each new student upon acceptance. Account information is emailed to the student at that time and questions may be directed to the Admissions Office (once school starts, questions should be directed to the Computer Lab). Note: Your Southwestern email is the official form of electronic communication on campus. Students are required to check their email accounts regularly. It is recommended that students only use their Southwestern email addresses for school-related matters in order to protect accounts from spam. Additional information on computing services is available online or in the Computer Lab (on the first floor of the library).
ExamSoft's SofTest Flexsite is a program that provides students with the ability to take exams on their laptop computers. It is used by many law schools across the country and several state Bars, including California and Nevada. Although ExamSoft is highly recommended, students are not required to use this option. Please note that SofTest is compatible with Windows Operating Systems and the Mac Leopard 10.5.6 and Snow Leopard 10.6 operating systems. Students can find more detailed ExamSoft information, including minimum system requirements and supported operating system versions, on MySouthwestern (log-in required).
Information regarding first reading assignments, syllabi, and required course materials and textbooks will be available on MySouthwestern prior to the start of school. Students may purchase the printed materials for courses in the Print Shop, located in the lower level of the Bullocks Wilshire Building.
All entering students are encouraged to participate in the First-Year Academic Skills Program (FYASP), which consists of a series of workshops during the fall semester designed to help students with the skills necessary for the study of law. FYASP is taught by Academic Support Professors and successful upper-division students who serve as Dean's Fellows. FYASP begins during Orientation; all students participate in the FYASP Orientation workshops and may opt-in to the semester-long program during the first week of classes. Contact the Academic Support and Bar-Related Programs Office with any questions about FYASP and learn more about Academic Support and Bar-Related Programs here.
Food service is available in the Tea Room, on the fifth floor of the Bullocks Wilshire Building. During the academic year, food service is provided Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Hours are limited during the summer and holiday periods.

Southwestern is committed to providing an environment that fosters academic excellence and personal success. An important aspect of that mission is ensuring the physical and mental well-being of our students. In furtherance of this goal, Southwestern now offers a Student Health Insurance Plan, with affordable coverage that is accessible to all students regardless of a previous condition and continues through the bar exam for graduating students. Click here for more information. If you have any questions about the Student Health Insurance Plan, please contact Robert Mena, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.
Southwestern provides all students with the counseling services of the private consulting firm HelpNet. Through HelpNet, students have access to professional counseling services and community resources for problems related to relationship, career, and academic stress; alcohol and drug abuse; and family, financial, and legal problems. Students are entitled to a maximum of two free counseling sessions per academic year running from July 1 through June 30. Additional information concerning HelpNet will be provided at Orientation. The toll-free hotline is 1-800-HELPNET. Brochures are also available in the Dean of Students Office.
Although Southwestern does not require students to own laptops, many students elect to use them in class. When considering what type of laptop to purchase or bring to school, students should consider whether or not they intend to take exams using their laptops. Students interested in taking their exams on a laptop should review the ExamSoft information available on this site. Secure wireless internet access is also available throughout campus. Laptops must meet general requirements and be registered in order to connect to the wireless network. Laptop specifications are available online.
The majority of Southwestern's classrooms have power outlets for student computers at every desk. However, where in-desk outlets are not available, portable power strips are provided, to the extent possible, to allow student computer use. The availability of power strips cannot be guaranteed and the overall power supply can be interrupted by a variety of factors beyond Southwestern's control, such as power disruption due to accidental cord disconnection, or power outage. Accordingly, students should always be prepared to rely on battery power and are strongly advised to always bring sufficient batteries to power their computers through a full class session. Note that class sessions range in length from 60 minutes to 180 minutes. Additional information on computing services is available online or in the Computer Lab (on the first floor of the library).
The law school photo identification card activates the electronic door releases for buildings, library entrance and permits access to parking. The card must be carried at all times. The same card also serves as a Southwestern library card and must be presented to check out library materials. Identification card photos may be taken in W100, Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., or during Orientation.
Parking information and registration is available online. Permit parking is programmed onto the student identification card after the parking registration form has been processed. Parking permits may then be picked up from the Administrative Services Office in W100. Questions may also be directed to the Administrative Services Office. The entrance to the parking lot is on Wilshire Place, just north of 7th Street (see directions.).
The guidance and support that first-year students get from their peers is invaluable. The Peer Mentor Program (PMP) serves as a resource to support the professional and personal development of incoming first-year students. Peer Mentors are hand-selected, upper-division students whose role is to assist in fostering student development through mentorship, and introduce students to campus and guidance resources at Southwestern. Each first-year student will be assigned to a Peer Mentor, who is trained to give guidance counseling and who are committed to helping students shape their first-year experience. The main goal of the Peer Mentor Program is to provide support by helping students navigate through their first year of law school, directing them to the right resources, socially or academically, and to ensure each student is creating a great law school experience, starting with their first year.
WebAdvisor is the web interface that allows students to access information contained in Southwestern's administrative database. Through WebAdvisor, students are able to view information such as course schedules, grades and unofficial transcripts as well as submit address updates, change Student Directory Listing preferences, purchase parking and submit payments. A WebAdvisor account is established for each admitted student upon completion of registration; account information is emailed to the student at that time and is subsequently available in the Computer Lab (first floor of the library).
WebAdvisor is also used by students to register for classes online. First-year day students will use WebAdvisor in the fall of their first year to enroll in their Spring first-year elective. After their first year of law school, all students will use WebAdvisor to enroll in their courses. General information regarding WebAdvisor can be found on this site.
The Student Directory, which includes contact information for all Southwestern students, is available as online. Students who have elected to be included in the Student Directory should ensure that their information is current. This information may be updated through WebAdvisor (see category above: Address Change).
All students will be given a copy of the Student Handbook at the start of school. The Student Handbook outlines Southwestern's academic policies and other pertinent information. Each student is responsible for its contents.
Southwestern Law School participates in the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) located in Herndon, Virginia. Three times a semester, or SCALE® period, Southwestern submits enrollment status of students who receive financial aid to the Clearinghouse which, in turn, supplies verification of enrollment to lending agencies. All Stafford/GSL/Pekins/GradPLUS loan deferment forms submitted to the Registration and Academic Records Office will be forwarded to the NSC for processing. All other loan deferment forms are completed by the Registration Office.
The Clearinghouse asks that if a student receives a collection letter from a servicer, the student should do the following:
- Call the lending agency to see if a deferment form was received between the time the Clearinghouse supplied the information and the lending agency sent the collection letter.
- If, after calling the servicer, it still appears that the deferment has not been processed, the student may call the Clearinghouse at (703) 742-7791, and ask for a Student Service Representative. The representative will verify the date on which the deferment form was received by the Clearinghouse, the date the deferment was certified and mailed, the enrollment status that was certified, and where the forms were sent.
- If an emergency exists, and the student is being threatened with default, the Clearinghouse will intervene on the student's behalf by faxing another deferment to the servicer. Further, the Clearinghouse will work with the servicer to ensure that the form is processed on a high priority basis.
Southwestern has a Student Services Fee (SSF), which encompasses many fees associated with improving Southwestern's facilities and services for our students. The non-refundable Student Services Fee will be charged upon registration and automatically billed to each student's account.
