That's right. A Judge in Wisconsin said so...
"no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to own and use a dairy cow or a dairy herd;"
"no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow;"
"no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to produce and consume the foods of their choice"
I was surprised that this didn't get more coverage. I started to look at other news sources looking for any information on this case or on the judge. What I found blew me away. The judge later stepped down and was hired by the law firm representing Monsanto.

Michelle LaMasa, Mind-Body Medicine
Michelle LaMasaMind-Body Medicine Student 2013
The education that I have received through the School of Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University has provided me with many new professional opportunities. Upon entering this program, the major source of my income depended on teaching distance education classes in Religious Studies. The experiences I have had through Saybrook allowed me to step into mind-body medicine as a profession. I began facilitating mind-body skills groups as part of my first year coursework in the School of Mind-Body Medicine. That blossomed into my completing the Center for Mind-Body Medicine certification process, receiving a Teaching Fellowship with Saybrook University, and working with many individuals privately to educate and support them in their quest toward health and wellness.
My schedule became quite full because of my PhD clinical practicum experience, which also increased my private practice significantly. I have been invited to continue working with each of the physicians in the medical setting, where I completed the practicum. I began presenting workshops, seeing additional clients for mind-body skills and wellness education, and have begun working with the physicians to design programs to support individuals as they move through illness toward health.
These experiences have come as a welcome surprise. I never anticipated being able to change careers prior to graduation. However, the training and education enabled me to make a professional shift and to focus my attention on mind-body medicine. I actually have to be mindful of how much time I commit each week in working with individuals, as my commitment to complete the PhD program is still my priority. I'm looking forward to the opportunity of being able to fully commit to this field of mind-body practice. I am filled with gratitude for the profound experiences and opportunities that I have been given through this program.

slow down to 65 mph and accelerate easier meaning use less throttle. I would bet you will crack 20mpg if not higher. slowing down is one of the easiest ways to get better fuel economy. my buddy has a 6.4 extended cab short bed with 3.73 gears and he just got back from a trip from ct to nc and got 26 mpg hand calculated. and consistently gets 25-26mpg in the 275 tune egr delete and dpf delete as well. he also bought his truck new and only has 45000 miles on it.

Farragut, David Glasgow (1801–1870), a United States naval officer. Farragut, a naval hero of the Civil War, was the first to attain the rank of admiral in the U.S. Navy. He was a brilliant strategist who carried out carefully planned operations with great boldness. His campaigns on the Mississippi helped open that river for the Union, and his victory at Mobile Bay sealed one of the Confederacy's main ports.
Farragut was born in Campbell's Station, Tennessee, the son of a naval officer. When only nine, he entered the Navy as a midshipman under the sponsorship of his guardian, Commander David Porter. At age 12, during the War of 1812, he was put in command of a captured ship. In 1823 Farragut helped put down piracy in the West Indies. He saw little service during the Mexican War. In 1854 he was sent to California to establish the Mare Island Navy Yard.
When the Civil War began in 1861, Farragut held the rank of captain, the highest rank in the U.S. Navy. In 1862 he was given command of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron, and ordered to capture New Orleans. A preliminary bombardment of the forts defending the city did little damage. In darkness on April 24, Farragut, aboard his flagship, the Hartford, ran his ships through heavy gunfire from the forts. He destroyed the Confederate flotilla, took New Orleans without resistance, and forced the forts to surrender.
Farragut proceeded up the Mississippi and ran past the formidable guns at Vicksburg to link up with a Union flotilla that had fought its way down from the north. On July 30, 1862, he was commissioned rear admiral, a rank Congress created for him. In 1863 he took part in the attack on Port Hudson on the Mississippi.
In 1864 Farragut was ordered to capture Mobile Bay. The entrance was defended by two forts, and the channel was obstructed by "torpedoes" (what today would be called mines). Again Farragut ran his ships boldly past the forts. One ship was sunk by a mine, but Farragut continued, reportedly crying out, "Damn the torpedoes! Full steam ahead!" Farragut's move was successful and the forts surrendered. In December, 1864, Congress created the rank of vice admiral for him; in 1866, that of admiral.

The Ton boss is content he has enough options for the remainder of the campaign - especially when all players are fit and available for selection.
One of those nearing a return is Peter Weatherson, who will take his place on the bench against Airdrie United tonight, with the ineligible Lyle dropping out.
Moore, pictured, told the Tele: "There will be no further signings. I can guarantee that. This is the squad I am going to work with for the rest of the season."
"Derek Lyle can't play as you have to be signed before the original draw is made.
"Peter will be on the bench. He's not fit enough to start but we think he is a good one to have on the bench to maybe come on in the last half an hour, depending on how the game is going.
"He is due a few goals and I just wanted to make sure he is fully fit before he came back.
"Once Peter is back he will be spurred on by the quality of the likes of Derek and he has a few good strikers round about him now. There is good competition."
Ton are in action against second division Airdrie tonight in their rearranged Scottish Cup fourth-round match with a trip to face Inverness Caledonian Thistle awaiting the winner.
The Cappielow side - who are also without injured duo Darren Young and Sean Fitzharris - approach the game in confidence following a comfortable win over Cowdenbeath at the weekend.
However, Moore is not taking progression for granted and pointed out a league rival has already suffered an unexpected exit from the competition.
He said: "There are no easy draws in this competition - we saw that with Queen of the South losing to Brechin.
"Cup games are always tough and Airdrie make it hard for teams in the cup, they have a good tradition of that, so we're not taking it lightly.
"But we're hoping we can make it easy. It will only be as hard we make it. We will make sure we go out there with the right attitude.
"We stressed to the players they need to approach the game in the right way.
"On Saturday, we knew the cup was coming up but everybody was just concentrating on Cowdenbeath.
"We had a wee cup final on Saturday as we knew we had to get the three points to get us up the league.
"And the boys have been buzzing in training because they are looking at the papers and seeing they are a couple of places higher up the league.
"So hopefully they can take that good feeling into the cup and get us into the next round."

Video: Media Tours Harborcenter
Buffalo, NY -- It's a symbol of Buffalo's future, and many believe it holds a lot of promise for what this city can be. Wednesday, we got an up close look at work that's been completed on the HarborCenter project.
"This is moving probably as fast as any construction project anywhere in the country," says Cliff Benson who is the Chief Development Officer with the Buffalo Sabres.
"We want people to appreciate it's much more than a sexy, sizzly construction project. That this is just the beginning of what will be an incredible outcome," says HarborCenter President John Koelmel.
And, next fall, you will be able to experience HarborCenter for yourself. At least its four "Rs."
"The rinks, the ramp, the restaurant, the retail will all be opening or ready to open," says Koelmel.
Wednesday, we got a sneak peak at what HarborCenter's first phase will look like.
"This corner will be the sports bar. Right now, we're putting up the columns here to the left and behind me are the decks that are starting to go into place, so we'll have five levels of parking garage. The sixth level will be the two sheets of ice that we'll have and then we'll have the hotel that will go above that," says Kendall Nielsen with Mortenson Construction.
You will have to wait until 2015 for the hotel.
"We stand up in the window up in our office building every day and look down, so it's right in front of us. When you go to the middle of the site, it is dramatically different. The view is dramatically different. The energy because you got all the workers around is dramatically different. And, when you see the size and complexity of what's going on out there, I think you're going to be pretty surprised," says Benson.
When construction is complete, you will be able to drive around the entire building continuing the Cars Sharing Main Street project.
And, the entire area will be pedestrian friendly.
"Certainly, the idea is to create a hospitality area down here and the whole area's going to connect between what goes on across the street. What's going on down here, I think that's the ultimate goal," says Benson.

Neuro-interventional Procedures- Minimally invasive ways to treat brain aneurysms
Problems involving blood vessels in the brain such as stroke and aneurysm are complex and often life-threatening. But much has evolved in the treatment of these disorders- thanks to catheter based procedures that go through the blood vessels to the brain. "Neuro-interventional procedures are basically minimally invasive ways to operate on cerebrovascular diseases that were traditionally not performed. A tiny incision is made near the hip, and a catheter is navigated inside the body to the brain- giving physicians the ability to treat blockages that can cause stroke or are involved in an acute stroke. We're able to use devices to break up the blood clot, or use medicines to break up the blood clot as well. Aneurysm- or a ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel- can also be treated. We're able to go in and using various devices, go in and block up the flow of blood to aneurysm using coils or we can use stents or balloons or other devices that are on the horizon to treat these aneurysms. Other uses for these procedures include cutting off the blood supply to a brain tumor before surgery, treating narrow blood vessels in the brain, stopping chronic nose bleeds, and many more. MUSC is one of only two facilities in the state that offer these options and is the place to go for comprehensive cerebrovascular care. With the positive results that have come out of endovascular treatments, the endo procedures have become more mainstream and opted for because they are much easier tolerated and allow folks to get back on their feet within days or weeks rather than months. If you have any questions about neuro-interventional procedures, call MUSChealth at 792-1414 or visit MUSChealth.com

Kaarina, Makes some excellent points about social media (I read the article and left a lengthy post) I have asked some of these questions on my blog. I do wonder as our children become the future leaders how different the world become based on their lives so involved in social media and the web. I know when I grew up the social norm was "outside" and today we are already seeing a epidemic of obesity (I believe some of it is a direct relation based on social media) I wonder how the future will work for business deals. Social media is a great aid to business but their is nothing like seeing someone in person (i can read body language....I can't do that through video) Just my two cents... Aaron
Aaron, so sorry I missed your comment here. I'm really hoping you'll join us this evening. Your comment and your perspective will be a welcome addition to the discussion!

Right...it couldn't be that he just fell or anything. No, he has to be drunk and a menace to society. Grow up.
Anyways, I'm sure it's like a sauna over there. Everyone was covered in sweat, not just Bush. Conditions like that must be tough on the athletes.
Seriously, he looks like a cool guy to chill with, but his presidency has been a complete nightmare.
Everyone he's met so far has greeted him welcomely (might be a made up word). Plus he's given everyone he meets nicknames. My favorite so far has to be, The Big Guy.

text: Since I'm bored and high.. A pretty good homemade thing I've got is my Sharpie stash. It only holds a nice size J, but it's still nice. Plus, it's easy to do, most people have the stuff, and the Sharpie still works. Sharpie, scissors, bic pen lid, lighter. 1. Pull the top on the Sharpie off, grab the lid pretty tight until you have the entire top half of the pen off and you can pull out the ink sponge thing. (The easiest is to just wiggle it a little bit and it comes apart really easy.) 2. Take the ink thing completely out, so you have 3 pieces, the top, the labeled plastic part, and the ink. Bend the ink thing right below where it is in the black piece, now get a pair of scissors (do this over a trash can) and cut the ink right below the bend, you will get a 1" piece. 3. Put the 1" ink thing into the black piece (it should fit all the way in there). Now get the lid from a bic pen, and shove that into the black piece of the Sharpie. It fits in there nicely, put it in there really tight. get the scissors and cut off the part of the bic pen lid that isn't stuck into the sharpie. 4. melt the black part of the sharpie and the bic pen lid together a little bit, just so the bic lid doesn't fall out all the time You probably want to melt a little hot glue or something in there too, so the ink can't get to where your stash is. Melting a tiny bit of plastic in there works too, anything that will seal it off. Now it just pops right back together like a regular sharpie pen. Take the lid off and it comes off really easily and you can still write with the pen. Wiggle the black part of the sharpie off again and you've got a nice, clean, smell-free stash spot for a J. Perfect for school and work, or anywhere.. I've never even been asked twice about my sharpie pen. Which ones have bud in them? ;-) College isn't so bad.

Ghana is a peaceful and stable democracy, making good progress toward its goal of becoming a middle-income country by 2020. With economic growth rates consistently topping 6 percent over recent years, Ghana is being hailed as an emerging African economic success story. It has had five consecutive democratic elections and two peaceful transitions of power since 1992, leading other African nations to look to Ghana for assistance with their own elections.
Since 1990, the Ghanaian government has been working closely with the donor community and has nearly halved the number of citizens living in extreme poverty. However, about 30 percent of Ghanaians still live on less than US$1.25/day. Some two million individuals have limited access to food, and food shortages are recurring in the three northern regions. Children are especially vulnerable, with approximately 12 percent of Ghana's children under the age of five currently underweight. Ghana ranks 135 out of 187 countries on the United Nations Development Programme's 2012 human development index.
In terms of the 2008 international food crisis, Ghana has been fairly successful in minimizing the effects by means of social support programs and such measures as the removal of import duties and taxes on food and fuel.
However, Ghana does face serious macroeconomic challenges, including high inflation, significant deficits, and a growing debt load due, in part, to high public sector spending to ease the impact of the international food and fuel price crises.
Ghana is still vulnerable to the ongoing effects of the global economic crisis, and poverty has recently deepened among some groups, especially women, farmers, and people living in the northern regions.
Ghana's main challenges include:
- Weak public sector institutions, resulting in poor delivery of basic services in areas such as agriculture, health, and education.
- Persistent food insecurity in the three northern regions.
- Limited access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
- Inequality between women and men.
Thematic Focus
In 2014, Ghana was confirmed as a country of focus for the Government of Canada's international development efforts. In keeping with this agenda, Canada continues to provide direct support to the Government of Ghana's budget in order to carry out the objectives of Ghana's national plan.
Canada's international development program in Ghana builds on efforts already being undertaken by the Government of Ghana to support public sector reform, promote a stronger parliamentary role in terms of government oversight and accountability, and enhance public participation in the development and assessment of government plans and policies. Canada continues to have a strategic focus in the North—where poverty and food insecurity are highest—and continues to dialogue with the Government of Ghana, other donors, and various Canadian and local civil society organizations for more effective aid delivery.
Children and youth
Canada supports the Government of Ghana in playing a lead role in the design, development, and implementation of a multidonor program to support Ghana's new national water policy, which will have a significant impact on the health and well-being of women, children, and youth.
In keeping with Ghana's decentralization plan to deliver basic services more efficiently at the local level, Canada also provides increasing technical and financial assistance to local governments to help them provide health and education services that benefit children and youth.
Key anticipated results
- Developed water systems in a sustainable manner in 13 northern districts.
- Provided rural communities and small towns with access to safe drinking water.
- Provided households with access to safe drinking water in urban areas.
Food security
Canada supports efforts to increasing food security in Ghana through:
- Continued investment in community-level food security initiatives in the North.
- Complementary investments in agricultural research and in the strengthening of farmer-based organizations.
- Support to sustainable management of land and water resources.
Canada also continues to support efforts to the strengthen Ghana's Ministry of Food and Agriculture by helping it be more effective in implementing the national food and agriculture sector development policy.
Key anticipated results
- Trained government officials of the Northern Regional Coordination Council in the planning, coordination, and monitoring of food security initiatives.
- Strengthened farm-based organizations to function smoothly and support agricultural productivity.
- Improved access for farmers-women and men-to improved technology, farming advice, and agricultural supplies.
Progress on Aid Effectiveness
Aid effectiveness, as the term implies, is an approach for improved delivery and monitoring of aid to achieve greater efficiency, strengthened partnerships, and greater results. Overall, aid to Ghana is more untied, and more funds are flowing through program-based approaches. As well, donor coordination of analysis and reporting is more effective.
In 2008, Ghana hosted the Third High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, and, in recent years, it has demonstrated strong ownership of the development agenda. The Government of Ghana has prepared a new aid policy containing bold measures to strengthen Ghanaian ownership and leadership of development cooperation in the country.

"We've had a K-9 program here for 25 years," Somers said, "but there wasn't enough money in the budget to pay for a new dog.
A partially trained dog for a new handler would cost around $16,000, he said.
"We bought an untrained dog for $10,000," Somers said. "I'm training it here. That keeps me in the community."
Coming up with the funds became a family affair. After he started talking to family members about getting a dog, Somers said three area businesses put up the funds: Rycenga Building Center, Harbor Steel and Pell's Farm Service of Fremont. The relatives associated with the businesses are Somers' uncle, John Rycenga; aunt, Carol Folkert, owner of Harbor Steel; and father-in-law, Rod Pell.
"It shows community support, but it's personal too," Somers said.
In late January, Somers brought home his new German shepherd, Ranger, from Vhoreliche Kennels in Indiana. The dog is bred to do police work, Somers said.
"He needs to be a very high-drive working dog," the deputy explained. "He never calms down. He never lays down. You have to have lots of energy to work with this kind of dog. You have to know how to channel and work with his drive."
When Somers went to the kennel, the owner had picked out 20 dogs — out of the 200 at the kennel — based on the deputy's list of requirements. Somers ran the dogs through a series of tests, including one for high drive.
"Will this dog be crazy for a ball? Will it chase a ball all day?" Somers said.
Somers said the dog has to be social and not have issues around gunfire or other dogs. Two of the dogs passed the test and Ranger got the nod.
"I had more of a bond with the one I picked," Somers said.
The 3-year-old dog has been doing "phenomenal" in his training and Somers expected him to be ready for certification this week.
"I can't believe how fast he is learning compared to my last dog," Somers said. "But like anything — when you know what you're doing, it goes well."
But Ranger hasn't been sitting on his haunches the last couple of months during his training.
"He's been out on narcotics searches," Somers said. "We've done a building search and had a (breaking and entering) in progress in a church in Marne."
The deputy said they had their first opportunity to actually track a suspect at a breaking-and-entering incident in the middle of the day at a home in Holland.
"When we got there, the dog is barking like crazy," Somers said. "I got the dog out of the car and was just starting to track, but the guy came right out of the woods."
Somers said it was cool that the suspect realized the dog was there and didn't try to run. "He said, 'That's it. I give up,'" the deputy said of the suspect.
The 73-pound dog is also wonderful with the family, Somers said.
"I have three kids," he said. "The kids can all pet him and play with him."
Somers said the same doesn't go with the dogs.
"They both want to be with me," he said of his 13-year-old dog, Nikko, and Ranger. "So there is a little bit of jealousy."
Somers said Ranger accompanies him all of the time when he is on patrol.
"You're apt to be called out anytime," he said, although it probably averages out to one call each week.
At home, Ranger stays in an outdoor kennel, which actually helps keep the dog sharp, Somers said.

Regarding Oprah's claims of discrimination while shopping in Switzerland, Mediaite asks, "Is Oprah Pushing Racism Story to Promote New Movie?" Glenn responds, "Yes, almost certainly. Next question?"
My favorite bit is this, though: "We have to come to grips in this country that we have unconscious bias." In this country. Oprah's story was about Switzerland. Maybe the unconscious bias is in assuming that everyone's as racist as Democratic media folks.
Plus, from the comments: "A story about personal experience with racism probably shouldn't be set in a Swiss boutique for rich tourists. For future reference."
And pushback from the store: "Maybe she was somewhat offended because she was not immediately recognized." Hey, it's not like she's still on TV or anything.
Incidentally, Oprah's latest incident sounds very similar to a story from 2005 involving previous Continental shopping woes inflicted upon the multimillionaire superstar. Time magazine, midway through a laundry list article titled, "Top 10 Oprah Controversies," dubbed it "Oprah's Crash Moment:"
Call it the shutout heard round the world. On June 22, 2005, Oprah was denied entrance to the Hermès luxury store in Paris, sparking a flurry of speculation as to why the billionaire talk-show host was rebuffed. The New York Post published an account of the incident that said Hermès staff failed to recognize the celeb sans makeup and asked her to leave — in part because the store had been "having a problem with North Africans lately."
Other news sources reported that Hermès kept Oprah out because she arrived just after the store had closed. A spokesperson at Harpo Productions referred to the incident as "Oprah's Crash moment," drawing a comparison to the racially charged film. After fans began boycotting the store, Oprah decided to confront the situation by addressing her television audience. She dismissed tabloid accounts of the story, saying that while the store was close to closing, there was apparently still customer activity inside. Calling the experience "humiliating," Oprah accused one "rude" employee of forcing her to wait outside the store for permission to enter and called the experience a familiar one for any person "who has ever been snubbed because you were not chic enough or thin enough or the right class or the right color." Hermès president Robert Chavez appeared on the show to publicly apologize to Oprah for the actions of "one very, very rigid staff member," effectively ending the dispute.
After this year's incident and her previous retail challenges in 2005, we must ponder why someone so wealthy and successful keeps having such trouble from high-end European merchants? And why has Oprah's staff been so consistently incompetent over the years that they can't coordinate store hours during the precious time their boss has free during her overseas excursions, and pre-screen the best clerks to work with her, etc?
While we in America must come to grips with the notion that the exclusive stores of France and Switzerland have unconscious biases, perhaps regarding her latest incident, there might be another reason. As John Hinderaker of Power Line asks in a post titled "The Long, Hot Summer of 2013?", rounding up several non-race race incidents, such as the George Zimmerman murder trial, and incidents involving current and former NFL players Riley Cooper and Hugh Douglas, a banana-throwing disgruntled baseball fan, the not-exactly infamous blue-on-blue Missouri rodeo clown, and now Oprah, Hinderaker responds:
What should we make of the fact that stories like these–some absurd, some not really about race at all–are being given so much attention in the press? I think the conventional wisdom, that self-apppointed civil rights leaders will seize on any purported manifestation of racism in order to stay relevant, no matter how minor or even non-existent such purported manifestations may be, is correct.
But I would go beyond that: I suspect that there is another reason why the press is so fixated on race these days. The left's agenda is in tatters. Obamacare has crashed on takeoff, after five years of Democratic policies the economy is in the doldrums and we are nearly $17 trillion in debt, and the Obama administration's foreign policy is is disarray. The Democratic Party, as represented by the press, desperately needs sideshows to 1) rally the party's faithful, and 2) distract the rest of us from the failures of the liberal agenda. Thus, I don't think it is a coincidence that liberals are doing their best to portray the summer of 2013 as more or less a replay of 1967. The silliness of the attempt is a measure of how out of ammo liberals are these days.
The years between elections are supposed to be a time for battlefield preparation. Between the feckless GOP Congress, the Democrats' "unexpectedly" fierce War on Women involving Bob Filner, Anthony Weiner, and Eliot Spitzer, and now these ginned-up racial incidents that keep getting debunked, both sides seem determined inflict the most damage on themselves, long before Tuesday, November 4th of 2014 (or sometime in September, if you're living in Detroit) appears on the calendars.
Update: Rush Limbaugh adds that Oprah's latest incident is "a teachable moment on several levels," though perhaps not the way its author originally intended, "since it's beginning to look more and more like The Oprah may have decided to relate a composite experience:"
Now, you know what I mean by that? In one of Obama's autobiographies he took a bunch of women that he had known and combined 'em into one woman. And when that was exposed by David Maraniss, the autobiographer, we were told, that's no big deal, that is a clever tool used by really brilliant authors. It's called the composite character. Rather than take up so many pages and so many words describing each and every woman, the president brilliantly combined them into one woman. And that's a composite experience.
So it's beginning to look here like The Oprah may have decided to relate a composite experience. Something happened in one outing and another time she went to a store something else happened, and another time she went to a store, this happened, and she took all of these various instances and she combined them into this one visit to the bag store. Yeah, like Obama's girlfriend, exactly. Composite. Obama's girlfriend, his first autobiography. And the reason I say this is because The Oprah seems to be backing away from the claim that it was all due to racism.
Now, the article points out here that in her latest interview The Oprah seems to suggest that it might all have been due to the way she was dressed, which is entirely possible. It could also be because Oprah is a plus size, and the assumption is made that plus size people, because they live in food deserts, are not rich. I don't know why that's controversial. You know as well as I do that one of the signs of wealth in women is that you can barely see them. They're so skinny. Tom Wolfe had a name for them: social x-rays. You could see their rib cages through their skirts, dresses, whatever that they wore. They were so thin that if you ever embraced one, their ribs could bruise you. Social x-ray.
Now, sometimes you'll find a very solid gut, big guy as a wealthy guy. But you don't find wealthy women wearing plus sizes. Not by rule. There are exceptions, of course. I don't want to mention any names. I think this might have been it, but it's looking less and less like it was racism, is the point. Now the TMZ story. It's low-information voter alert here. TMZ, which is the website, the network of low-information entertainment voters, picked up this story, and they're basically calling Oprah a bully.
After the Swiss clerk pushed back against Oprah's bullying and asked, "I don't know why she is making these accusations. She is so powerful and I am just a shop girl," the Professor responded, "Race-talk these days is mostly a way for the powerful to keep the 'shop girls' in their place."
Sadly, that's what the political religion that once called itself "liberalism" seems to have degenerated into by the 21st century.

Law Student Diaries
Several Seattle University School of Law students are participating in our online student journals. Since the school year began, they have been gathering their thoughts and reflections about what it means to be a law student here: from classroom experiences to juggling commitments to making the most of their legal educations.
We invite you to travel through the year with the students as they share not only their confidences and anxieties but also their accomplishments and success strategies. Hear what it's like to be an Seattle University law student, as they candidly express views about not only law school, but also the law generally, and their professional aspirations.
New entries will be available approximately every few weeks as students find time to squeeze their updates into their busy lives.
2014-2015 Participants
Mayra Rangel, 2L
My name is Mayra Rangel. I first became interested in law through high school courses and my personal interest in politics. After high school I attended the University of Washington-Seattle and studied Political Science and Latin American Studies. Before coming to law school, I worked at a domestic violence agency and a women's health clinic in Seattle. I intend to explore different areas of law during my time here at Seattle U, but I am very passionate about public interest work. I feel fortunate for the opportunity to pursue my professional goals here in my home state and Seattle, which I love! In my free time I like to do outdoor activities, follow Seattle sports and enjoy art, especially music.
Jacqueline Hackler, 1L
I'm originally from Southern California. I went to Chapman University in Orange County where I majored in Political Science and minored in Communication Studies. After graduating, I worked for a former Seattle University School of Law alumnus who sparked my interest in the University. Having stayed in Southern California for my undergraduate degree, I decided I wanted a change of pace. I visited Seattle and fell in love with the city and school.
Nicole Price, 1L
I grew up in Auburn, Washington but went to Willamette University in Oregon, where I graduated in 2014 with a B.A. in Politics and Economics while also playing four years of collegiate soccer. Growing up, soccer had always been my passion but, during my time in Oregon, I developed a second passion for women's issues. Ever since I knew what a lawyer was I have wanted to go to law school and, as soon as I visited Seattle University, I knew this was the place for me. While I am open to learning about all types of law, I hope to combine both of my passions and pursue sports law in order to make a difference for athletes who are women, particularly on the international level.
Emily Schwab, 1L
I just moved to Seattle from my hometown of Salem, OR. I attended Oregon State University where I earned a bachelor of arts in history. After graduation, I had the amazing opportunity to serve as legislative assistant in the Oregon State House. It was working in this setting that really opened my eyes to how much want there is in the world. This experience led me to the law and kindled my passion for social justice, especially for women and children. My goal is to be a true advocate, a voice for the voiceless.
Matthew Chin, 2L
Hello! My name is Matthew Chin. I'm originally from Hingham, Massachusetts, a small coastal town just south of Boston, but moved out to Seattle to pursue my dream of working in sports law. I graduated in 2011 from Hobart and William Smith Colleges (NY) with a double major in Political Science and Public Policy, and then spent two years working in investment banking in downtown Boston. Moving to Seattle was the boldest thing that I have ever done in my life. Law school in its own is a major adjustment, but studying in a city where I didn't initially know anyone has been especially eye-opening. While it has certainly taken me out of my comfort zone, I have loved every part of my time in the Pacific Northwest. When I'm not studying, you can find me exploring the streets of Seattle, finding any excuse to try out one of the many ethnic restaurants, or looking for the best pickup basketball game at the SU Fitness Center.
Brittany Molnar, 2L
Hello, my name is Brittany Molnar. I was born and raised in Arizona and attended Arizona State University majoring in political science with an emphasis in international studies and a minor in sociology. After graduation I went on to work in a small boutique estate planning/administration, probate and civil litigation law firm. While working at my law firm I went on to earn a certificate in paralegal studies. After spending 23 years in Arizona, I knew I wanted to experience something different and am so happy to have moved to Seattle for law school. When I am not in school I enjoy sporting events, mainly football (Go Sun Devils!), traveling, and reading.
Javier Ortiz, 2L
My name is Javier Ortiz, or Javi if you prefer. I'm originally from Southern California, where I got my permanent tan, as well as my B.A. in Political Science from the University of California, Riverside. After graduating in 2012, I explored the West Coast and fell in love with Seattle and its rain. I knew I wanted to be a lawyer since I first heard of the Supreme Court when I was about 11. My dreams were further cemented when I joined Amnesty International during my undergraduate years. Being a human rights activist opened my eyes to the world of social justice and the need to help undocumented labor workers and seek immigration reform. That is what led me to Seattle University as the place where I wanted to study law and further my career. I am very excited to start as a 1L here with a community that is so welcoming and helpful in every way. Outside of law school, you can find me around Seattle finding places to work on my fiction short stories, camping, or getting some good use out of my PS3.
Patricia Bredlau, 3L
Hello, my name is Patricia Bredlau. I am originally from Virginia but moved to Washington from Alabama. I studied at James Madison University in Virginia majoring in history and secondary education. After graduating I married my amazing husband, Jason. We then moved to Fort Rucker, Alabama so he could pursue his Army Aviation career by attending flight school. I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer but the timing to attend law school never seemed quite right until being stationed here at Joint Base Lewis McChord. I hope to pursue a career as a JAG officer and serve the military community that I love. When I'm not studying I enjoy crafting, exploring the outdoors, and playing with my Siberian Husky, Kojo.
Leandra Ebreo, 3L
My name is Leandra Ebreo. I am originally from the Seattle area and very proud to be a local. In 2012, I graduated from Santa Clara University near San Francisco, California. I majored in Political Science with an emphasis in Pre-Law. While I loved the sun and warm weather in California, I am very happy to be back in Seattle! I first became interested in law after watching famous criminal trials on TV with my grandmother. This interest has followed me since then and ultimately led me to law school. I am so blessed to say that I am a 1L at Seattle University. Even though the first year is just as challenging as people warned me, the professors at SU are amazing and have made the transition from undergrad a smooth one. Keeping an open mind, I am looking forward to learning about the different areas of law and finding one that suits me best. I love swimming, art, and especially food!

thiazole synthase (summary available)
thiazole synthase (summary available)
ThiG is involved in the synthesis of the thiazole moiety of thiamin. Thiazole synthase is a heterodimer of ThiG and ThiH, which catalyzes the conversion of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate to a thiazole. [Leonardi03] ThiG and ThiH complex is required for the synthesis of 4-methyl-5-(beta-hydroxylethyl) thiazole phosphate, which is the rate-limiting step in thiamine synthesis. The formation of 4-methyl-5-(-hydroxyethyl)thiazole phosphate requires the precursor 1-deoxyxyulose 5-phosphate, a sulfur atom from cysteine which is transferred via ThiS, and dehydroglycine. [Vander93, Leonardi04, Dorrestein04]
ThiG and ThiH copurify as a large multimeric non-covalent complex. ThiG catalyzes the thiazole cyclization reaction and ThiH is a tyrosine lyase that cleaves tyrosine to form dehydroglycine. The activity of thiazole phosphate forming reaction using purified protein components required four proteins isolated as heterodimers, ThiGH and ThiFS. Experimental evidence indicated a presence of an iron-sulfur cluster within this complex and that the S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) bound this cluster. [Kriek07, Leonardi03]

CUMBERLAND – Mercy!
It was yet another Big Blue blowout in a season that has pointed in one direction – the Division II Super Bowl. An appearance in the title game is officially in Cumberland High's line of sight after Wednesday night's 48-14 romp against West Warwick High in semifinal-round action at frigid Tucker Field.
All that separates Cumberland from capturing the school's first-ever undisputed Super Bowl championship is a 48-minute showdown with Thanksgiving rival Woonsocket. The two neighboring schools will meet Sunday at East Greenwich's Carcieri Field, a rematch the Villa Novans hope will be more competitive than the 32-0 whitewashing that the Clippers notched last Thursday.
Cumberland's last appearance in the big game was 2004. Though Tolman won the contest, 20-19, it was the Clippers who were awarded the Division II title after it was learned that the Tigers had used an ineligible player.
Putting truth to the notion that "football is a team sport," Cumberland received multiple touchdown games from Mitchell Baxter, Joe Fine and Dan Stock, while the defense picked off West Warwick quarterback Kody Greenhalgh three times in the first half. To reiterate a point that has been hammered home countless times already, the Clippers are a tough-to-slow-down unit that doesn't count on just one person to carry the day.
"When you have a team like this, you're blessed," said Cumberland head coach Chris Skurka, his crew now 10-0 against Division II competition, a blemish-free mark that includes the regular season, playoffs and non-leaguers. "I've never coached a group of guys where no one cares about who gets the credit. They are all about each other and they play that way.
"(The seniors) are the first group of kids that I had during my first year as head coach, so it's real special that we have the chance to win the championship" continued Skurka, who took over at Cumberland in 2009.
There was some early drama in this one, as West Warwick got on the scoreboard with 50 seconds gone by in the second quarter, a 45-yard completion between Greenhalgh and Trevor Lawton setting up a five-yard score by Ross Coffua. Just like that, the Clippers' 14-0 advantage was reduced to 14-6.
What ensued was a clinic in how to make the final two quarters of a playoff game totally irrelevant. Right after the Wizards broke through, Baxter ran the kickoff back 60 yards for another six points for the home team. A three-and-out by West Warwick put Cumberland's offense back on display, as Stock jumpstarted things with a 37-yard gallop that brought the action down to the West Warwick 11-yard line.
Erik Travers took care of the remaining 11 yards, his pay dirt run covering four yards. Travers finished with 72 yards on 10 carries while Stock added 95 yards on four handoffs.
"We answered right away (after West Warwick scored) and that's been the story of this team the whole year," said Skurka.
West Warwick's descent into the abyss continued when Austin Paygai coughed up the ball on the kickoff. Cumberland's Jared Talbert pounced on the loose pigskin, with the Clippers assuming control at their opponent's 7. The short field resulted in a one-play drive with Stock doing the honors.
Another West Warwick turnover resulted in Cumberland finding the end zone for the fourth time in the second quarter. Three straight completions by quarterback Brendan Guerin covered 68 yards – 45 of which went in the direction of Trent Vasey on two plays. Fine barreled his way in from eight yards out as West Warwick trudged off the field at halftime down 41-8.
Even though the outcome had long been decided, the Clippers continued to keep their foot on the pedal. Stock added his second touchdown of the game, a 50-yarder, with 3:14 to go in the third quarter to ice the game and send the Wizards home for the 2012 season.
"We had the ability to run and throw the ball when we wanted to, but it's a credit to the kids and my coaches just doing an outstanding job," said Skurka. "It's been fantastic so far."
The game was scoreless midway through the first quarter when Cumberland dialed up a blitz, which forced Greenhalgh to overthrow his intended target. Baxter was there at the Wizard 35-yard-line for the interception and took it to the house for the touchdown, putting Cumberland up 7-0.
All told, West Warwick coughed up the ball five times.
"(West Warwick) is a good passing team, so we had some different coverage looks that we put in," said Skurka. "The kids came up big again."
If Cumberland can come up big one more time, then Skurka & Co. will be known as Division II champs for the 2012 campaign.

Rafael Nadal at his peak after US Open win - John McEnroe
Rafael Nadal played the best tennis of his career as he won a second US Open and 13th Grand Slam title in New York on Monday, according to John McEnroe.
Nadal, 27, beat world number one Novak Djokovic 6-2 3-6 6-4 6-1 at Flushing Meadows, having missed the tournament last year with a serious knee injury.
"To me he's better than ever," said seven-time Grand Slam winner McEnroe.
In-form Nadal
- Nadal has now won all 22 hard-court matches he has played in 2013
- He has won 10 titles this year, from 12 finals
- He has lost only three of 63 matches all year
- He had won 88 consecutive service games until Richard Gasquet broke him in the semi-final
"He's moving better; it was amazing to see how much he wanted it. His will to win... I've never seen anyone like it."
The Spaniard was out for seven months through injury but since coming back in February, he has won 10 titles, including Grand Slams at the French and US Opens, and gone unbeaten in 22 hard-court matches.
"It's amazing because he was watching on TV [last year]," McEnroe, a four-time US Open champion, told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We were worried about his career, then he doesn't play Australia, and all of a sudden he comes back. For a while, we're still thinking is he going to be able to come all the way back?
"He wins the French, but that's expected in a way, but he looked like his old self. When he lost first round of Wimbledon, I started worrying again. I thought the knee was bothering him, but he comes back and wins both hard-court events [Montreal and Cincinnati]."
Most Grand Slam singles titles
- 17 - Roger Federer
- 14 - Pete Sampras
- 13 - Rafael Nadal
- 12 - Roy Emerson
- 11 - Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg
Nadal has moved to within one of Pete Sampras in the all-time list of male Grand Slam singles winners and four behind leader Roger Federer's mark of 17.
"I think if he stays healthy he can easily win four or five more, no doubt about it," said McEnroe.
"Let's hope that he stays healthy because it would be great for our sport - and somebody's going to have to step up!"
Former British number one John Lloyd believes Nadal's recovery from injury and subsequent form makes his year the greatest in the history of tennis for any player.
"Even if Nadal loses a few matches towards the end of the year in some of the Masters series events, it does not matter," he told 5 live.
"It is one of the greatest years of all time and in my opinion it is probably the greatest year a tennis player has ever had."
Lloyd added: "I feel Roger Federer is going to be caught. As long as Rafa's injuries hold out I think he will break the record."
Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash agreed that Nadal was now a serious threat to Federer at the top of the Grand Slam standings.
"Nadal could surpass Federer's total of 17," the Australian said.
"That debate over who is the greatest is fun but pointless, but you can't argue with eight French Opens and maybe more to come.
"He has got a style of game that nobody has seen before. He's got an intensity and speed that nobody has seen before. He's very much a modern-day player. He's created this new style of play.
"The only thing holding him back is his knees. It's a much healthier tennis circuit with him back in it."

Also known as: Online Marketing Strategist.
Creative yet detail-oriented, search marketing strategists (also referred to as search engine marketing specialists), are individuals that focus on electronic media and find ways to improve a company's online presence. Virtually every business has a web site. Years ago, this effort was enough to increase sales and attract new customers. Now, most customers and families not only have a home computer but also regularly use cell phones and tablet computers to conduct business. A web site that cannot be found and used on a mobile device is of little value to a company. Search engine optimization is the key to a company's success in the digital age, and is the specialty of this type of marketing professional.

Search marketing is based on the constantly changing algorithms by which search engines find and rate information on the Internet. Search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing use a number of criteria to determine which information will appear on the front page and in what order depending upon the keywords used for the search.
Using computer programming language, a strategist works with a company's marketing team in order to create a fully-functional site that accurately portrays the company. He or she also works with the marketing team to design a new public image for the company. A strategist then presents this information to the company or other stakeholders in a series of marketing proposals. A strategist turns the information and images on the web site into information that appeals to search engines. He or she researches the keywords that customers are likely to use when searching for a company's product or service and then places those keywords in strategic locations throughout the site. A strategist gathers information on current search engine optimization algorithms, tests the information on a company's web site to see how well it conforms to the algorithms, and regularly runs web site analytics to test the effectiveness of his or her keyword choices.
In addition to the "passive" promotion of a company's web site through search engine optimization, a strategist designs and implements a company's paid online advertising. Using the keyword research, he or she writes and purchases advertising space on related web sites and maintains the correct links back to the company site. An analyst also maintains unpaid links with blogs on related web sites and encourages those sites to link to the company's site.
Most often, a strategist works in an office setting, since much of his or her work is comprised of creating, testing, and implementing online marketing efforts. He or she may also work in a computer laboratory setting with other team members. A strategist may work directly for one company, or he or she may work for a consulting firm that works with many companies at once. Regular office hours are common for a strategist, though he or she may need to work an alternate schedule when testing or launching a site so as not to interfere with the company's daily business routine. He or she may work additional hours as a deadline approaches or new computer glitches occur.
