COVERAGE> Scenes From Formula D Long Beach
NEWSWORTHY> Dai Yoshihara Wins FD Long Beach
GALLERY> Nisei Showoff Vs Infamous Long Beach
The tried and true Import Showoff event thrown by legendary import carshow promoter Ken Miyoshi during Downtown LA's annual Nisei Week Festival in Little Tokyo is always a good time. Everyone knows that Nisei Showoff symbolizes the best of the best - the highest standard in modified import cars, with attendance by the OG crews that used to run the streets of Los Angeles when the sport compact scene was just beginning to blow up. The whole vibe at Nisei Showoff feels a bit nostalgic, to be honest. Can it be that it was all so simple then? Good cars and good friends in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by good Japanese restaurants and boutique shops in Little Tokyo.
However, some young car enthusiasts don't care about memory lane nostalgia or waxing poetic about the good old days. For this rapidly growing new generation of frame-scraping tire stretchers, the newly conceptualized Infamous show was thrown as a collaboration between the Fatlace and Canibeat Crews at the Queen Mary in Long Beach.
It's obvious that MotorMavens connects to both scenes and both types of automotive taste, so those who follow @MOTORMAVENS on Instagram and Twitter already know that we decided to hit both shows. Here's a quick gallery of images from both events! Read more...

COVERAGE> Formula D Long Beach Experience Pt.1
If you live in Southern California, you need to drop everything you're doing and head down to Long Beach RIGHT NOW.

OH SNAP> Forsberg at FD Long Beach Media Day
Today was the Formula Drift Long Beach media day. Justin Shreeve and I were only there long enough to take a few photos and some video before driving ended.

Look forward to more coverage from MotorMavens in the coming days! (more…)
VIDEO> Formula Drift 2010 Through Shreeve's Eyes
Due to the slowing of DVD sales and my incessant need to share my work with the world, I present to you my Formula Drift 2010 Recap video. With footage of every FD stop I made last year, including Long Beach, Atlanta, Evergreen, Las Vegas, and Irwindale. This video represents my first year as a full-time drifting videographer and exemplifies my feelings of the sport in general. There is so much drama and heartache, but like life itself, we find joy through the pain and misfortune. Cars break down, wrecks happen, sponsors bail, but when it's all over, we come away with more friends, wisdom, and courage than ever before. (more…)
VIDEO> KP Race LSx14 Debut
To be completely honest, up until earlier this year, I knew next to nothing of KP Race. I knew it was an auto shop located somewhere in Washington (With names like Snoqualmie and Skookumchuck, the towns all seem to blend together in my mind). That was, until I received a call from a guy who goes by the name of "Victor Moore." Hey, I'd have an alias, too, if I were him. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me, Tiger. Haha! Anyway, the conversation consisted of a request to travel the US with Victor, Chris Jeanneret, and Matt Brandow as they work their way up the Formula Drift Ranks in 2010. How could I resist?! Free rides all over the country and food along the way! Say no more; I'm in!
Traveling with these fine young gentlemen took me back to a simpler time in life. A time when all that mattered was having fun. A time when you jumped in a 1988 Ford Probe and drove all day, just to bomb a hill in San Francisco or skate a new park in Vancouver, BC. From late night In-N-Out runs, to shenanigans at Hooters in Long Beach, drifting was far from the best part of the journey, for me. That's probably why I love it so much! Just like skateboarding in my younger years, drifting has given me the opportunity to meet literally hundreds of new people who share a common love.
This video documents the adventures of KP Race as they fight for the Formula Drift podium. Despite a privateer budget and terribly timed mechanical failure, these guys are always upbeat and having a good time. Don't get me wrong, though. These guys are seriously dedicated to the sport and have the drive and motivation necessary to reach the top. Expect to see plenty more of KP Race in the 2010 season!

VIDEO> One Of One Show at Long Beach
Fatlace OneOfOne Showcase | FD Long Beach Extra Footage
So yesterday I was sitting at my desk, cleaning up my external hard drive. I realized I've got TONS of extra footage of Formula Drift Long Beach and quite a bit of footage from the Fatlace OneOfOne Showcase that didn't make it into the final edit.
My girl had the car for the day, and I wasn't getting anything else done… so I decided to make another edit. This one has a much lighter vibe than the first, with no color grading and very little audio work; just lots of familiar faces, pretty cars, and loud engines.

VIDEO> The Spirit of Formula D Long Beach
Formula Drift 2010 Round 1 from Justin Shreeve Films on Vimeo.
I really gotta give it up to our boy Justin Shreeve. A few weeks before Formula D Long Beach, Justin called me and told me that he wanted to come down and shoot the official MotorMavens video coverage of Formula D Long Beach. I told him that we had other video shooters that were planning on attending the event, but I'd love to see what he could put together. By the looks of the Evergreen Drift video Justin shot recently, I knew whatever video footage he shot at Long Beach would probably be good!
Justin worked really hard to create this video. I saw him running all over the place at Long Beach, hustling to get artistic shots and plenty of new looks in his footage. At one point, he even brushed up on a sharp piece of scaffolding, cutting his upper arm open and tearing the sleeve of his favorite shirt. Justin also told me that while he was down in Long Beach shooting, he received a phone call from his boss at a skate company back in Oregon, informing him that he would be getting laid off. Damn! That's horrible news to receive on a road trip for sure, but that only pushed Justin to work harder and give this video all he had.
This goes out to the hungry people out there… to those willing to take chances and put everything on the line so they can chase after their dreams… to those that stay motivated to make something better of themselves… THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU.
This is what the Motor Mavens Movement is all about… illustrated by the lens of Justin Shreeve.

Antonio has just gotten back from Seattle Formula D, and I'm sure many of you are waiting to see the photos from the event. He is currently preparing photos and stories to post up, but while he's doing that, we thought we would change the pace just a little bit.
Many of you I'm sure have seen some of Antonio's stories and photos from the 2009 Ink and Iron festival. (There are A LOT more photos by the way… we just thought we'd spread out the postings in case not everyone was feeling the style.) While we were at the show, we decided to get some video footage of the event. This time we only used Antonio's Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR camera in video mode. He's just starting out with trying his hand at shooting video… it's a really different skill than shooting still photos, as there are different techniques that make both disciplines challenging.
Many of you may not be aware of this, but the 5D Mark II is becoming a huge favorite of the independent filmmaker. The 5D's insane depth of field, color quality and low light capabilies make it ideal. There's no high speed or time lapse capability, it simply has amazing picture quality.
Along with video footage we got from the 5D Mark II, we integrated some of Antonio's still shots. See if you can tell which shots are stills. Enjoy the new video and let us know what you think.

"The UK Government is aiming to reverse the growing culture of unpaid internships" according to this report in The Guardian.
The article has spurred me on to share some personal feelings I have about work experience. Here's a quick definition of what I am referring to as work experience or internship:
1. Unpaid
2. For an organisation of any type, public, private or charity
3. Where the primary motivation for work experience is to start a career in that chosen sector or discipline
Much of the continued discussion around work experience is about whether or not participants should be paid, and the ongoing question of employer's accountability. Are 'workies' seen as cheap labour to fulfil day-to-day administration tasks?
I have lots of personal experience of work experience, as employee and employer. Before I even began my journalism diploma, I had started to spend periods of work experience on local and regional newspapers. The advice I had from experienced journalists was that experience was everything, and qualifications a secondary concern. In fact, it was this advice that persuaded me not to go to university.
Whenever I read stories about new rules, regulations or guidance about work experience, my heart sinks. If you, as a college, school or university leaver, offer your time to a company, and they take you under their wing, it's usually on the understanding of the three simple criteria above.
It is the responsibility of the student on work experience to ensure that they benefit from the experience and generate some contacts, without being taken advantage of and working for months, even years, for the same company, without renumeration.
I undertook lots of placements – some were successful and led to paid work, others were less useful and I quickly learnt how to nurture the former and wrap up the latter.
Of course, employers shouldn't be taking advantage either. However, it's a ruthless world out there and knowing when to draw the line is all part of the experience.
Here are some links to related issues and debates:
The difficulties of gaining work experience while claiming benefits
Media is a big user, and sometimes abuser of work experience. Here's the debate at journalism.co.uk
This is a big subject and I've only scratched the surface with a personal opinion. But tell me your views: have you experienced work experience? Do you offer it as a company?

Recipe: Andouille Sausage and Black-Eyed Pea Hash
Eating Black-Eyed Peas on New Year's Day is a tradition throughout the South for bringing luck and prosperity in the New Year. Hoppin John is probably the most popular Black-Eyed Pea dish eaten on New Year's. It consists of black-eyed peas cooked with rice, some type of pork, and seasonings. Frequently cornbread is served alongside black-eyed peas as a representation of gold.
Not everyone is a fan of black-eyed peas and their nutty, buttery, and earthy flavor; emphasis on earthy. This Andouille and Black-Eyed Pea Hash is a wonderful dish for those on the fence about black-eyed peas. The spiciness of the black-eyed peas is the most prominent flavor and the silky egg yolk spreads across the hash adding a creaminess to a legume that can otherwise be a little dry.
Another favorite black-eyed pea recipe of mine is Black-Eyed Pea Salad with Roasted Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese.
Note: If you can't find andouille sausage at your local market, Aidells Cajun Style Andouille, 13 ounces can be purchased through Amazon.com.
Andouille Sausage and Black-Eyed Pea Hash
- 3 links Andouille Sausage, cut in half lengthwise and then into half-moon shapes
- 1 cup diced sweet onion
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow squash, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cups frozen black-eyed peas, cooked according to package directions
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 tablespoon canola oil
- 4 large eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add sausage and saute 3 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Add onion, bell pepper, and squash and saute 5 minutes, stirring frequently. (Make sure heat is high enough to caramelize the veggies. You should see lots of steam.)
- Add thyme, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and black-eyed peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and place mixture in a medium bowl. Keep warm.
- Wipe pan clean and place over medium heat. Add butter and canola oil and swirl to coat pan. Crack eggs into pan and cook 4 minutes or until egg whites are set. Remove pan from heat and season eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, divide black-eyed pea mixture between 4 plates and top with egg.
Yield: 4 servings

The course will explore the wide-ranging and iconic art of nineteenth century Europe. Each session will focus on specific artists and artistic movements within historical, social and cultural contexts. The module begins by exploring the work of Romantic artist such as Turner, Constable, Gericault and Delacroix and how emotion and imagination featured as inspiration. Realist painters on the other hand found their stimulus in subjects from everyday life. Physiognomy, the pseudo scientific system to detect character through physical appearance, was taken up in earnest by some artists, especially Frith. Additionally, it became popular to create narrative compositions that transmitted moral warnings. The final half module concentrates on significant movements such as Pre-Raphaelites, the Arts and Crafts Movement, Impressionism and Post-impressionism.
Syllabus content
Week 1
Introduction: This is a module overview with a group exercise and assignment brief
Week 2

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
PEACHTREE CORNERS -- Development is back on in Peachtree Corners, after a 24-day moratorium allowed for the new city to establish codes.
"I'd like to thank the business community for their patience as we established the city's zoning ordinances," Mayor Mike Mason said. "I'd like to also thank Gwinnett County for their public spirited cooperation as well. We met our goals of planning an orderly transition of services while avoiding any undesirable land uses. This is another important milestone in the city's progress toward full start up."
The new City Council adopted its zoning and sign ordinances Tuesday, while Gwinnett commissioners met to approve an intergovernmental agreement to continue issuing permits for the city.
According to the agreement, the county will provide permitting and land use services for the city through the end of the year, keeping any fees collected during that process.
City leaders said the moratorium was necessary to protect the city during its first weeks until new ordinances were adopted. The move was especially necessary for issues involving billboard companies and adult entertainment businesses, a press release said. In fact, the City Council approved having its own attorney work on a pending lawsuit filed before incorporation against Gwinnett by an outdoor advertising company that wants to place two billboards within the city limits.
"This is an example of the efficacy of the moratorium," acting City Attorney Bill Riley. "If we hadn't had it in place, there could have been dozens of additional billboard requests submitted before the City's zoning and sign ordinances were in place."
If any voting action is required on permitting or zoning, a contracted liaison will provide data coordination between the city and county, the release said.

His first job was a brief stint as a policeman with the San Diego Police Department.
He left the department to form an import company with his father. They traveled to Mexico, bringing in goods to make silver spurs, bits and other horse show equipment. Soon this developed into the largest western mail order catalog business in the United States as well as a western manufacturing business and three western stores in Salinas, Anaheim and El Cajon, Calif. He sold the business in 1963 and went to work at the Bahia and Catamaran Hotels in San Diego bringing conventions to the properties and managing marketing and sales. In 1966 he joined the fastest growing hotel group in the United States, Royal Inns of America as the senior VP of marketing.
In 1969, he left and moved Margery and his children to Santiago, Chile. Here he partly owned and operated the No. 1 disco in South America. The family lived there through the Allende years and had many adventures traveling in South America.
Mr. LeLaurin returned to the United States in 1975 and started a couple of seafood restaurants. He and his wife Margie were divorced in 1975. In 1979 he found and married (as he said) "his perfect mate," Barbara Murphy. She became ill with ovarian cancer in 1993 so they moved to La Crosse, Wisc. to be near her family, however they traveled all over Western and Eastern Europe, the Southern United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. He also pursued his favorite pastime, cooking.
Barbara passed away in 2002 and LeLaurin moved to Hilton Head, S.C. for two years. He was often visited by his children and enjoyed traveling with them to Savannah and Charleston. In 2004, he moved to Pleasanton to be near his family. He continued to travel to Europe and to different parts of the United States and pursued his passion of cooking.
He passed with his children and grandchildren around him.
Mr. LeLaurin is survived by his children, Vic LeLaurin of Pleasanton, Louie LeLaurin of Concord, Suzanne West of Hume Lake and Bob LeLaurin of Manteca, as well as Bob Martin of San Diego (who he had informally adopted) and step-daughter Jordan Just. He also leaves 10 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter and many adventures which his family will all enjoy retelling at the dinner table as they relish the cuisine from hundreds of recipes he created. There will be a private service for the family.

It has been well documented that children exposed to violence, life-threatening
events or traumatic losses are at greater risk for depression, alcohol
and substance abuse, and suicide. In the aftermath of tragedies such
as the September 11 terrorist attacks, a school shooting, natural disaster,
or even a personal crisis, students may display warning signs of suicidal
behavior. Parents and school personnel should be particularly observant
of children and youth who may be more vulnerable because of individual
circumstances. This includes youngsters who have experienced a personal
loss, abuse, or previous traumatic event or who suffer from depression
or other mental illness. Youngsters who have these risk factors and
who have been directly impacted by or witnessed another crisis are most
Although many suicidal children and adolescents do not self-refer,
they do show warning signs to their peers, parents or trusted school
personnel. Never ignore these signs. Suicide can be prevented with
proper intervention. Warning signs may not appear during the immediate
aftermath of a tragedy. Parents and school personnel must be good listeners
and observers over the weeks to follow. Below are some guidelines for
intervening with a suicidal student.

Durley House London is a very decent hotel when it comes to the overall assessment of the hotel. The hotel has got a typically British architecture and it looks like a nice big home for people to stay in. the hotels facades has got large windows and it is a brick structure which has got iron grills all over it. The door of the hotel has got a very fine wood and glass composition and there are flower pots which line the entrance of the hotel. The plants are manicured and they add to the first impression a person would get from the outside about the hotel. The guest room in the hotel is pretty decent and comfortable.
The beds are very thick and one can go on sleeping for hours in the bed. The room size was not very big but it was modest enough and one couldnt call it a small room. There has been extensive use of dark color in the interior décor of the hotel and the use of drapery in the hotel is also very extensive. There are paintings on the walls of the hotel and the toilets in the hotel are very hygienic and one is made to feel at home in this hotel.

Reviews, Visits, and Rankings / FSU Law Admit Day« on: April 03, 2006, 04:51:23 PM »
I definitely give FSU College of Law strong marks for its Admitted Students Day and rank it highly in general as well. The admit day was highly organized and there was strong faculty, administration, and student representation. Facilities were excellent for the most part (wired and good technology throughout) although the library wasnt anything to write home about. Classrooms were rather new, well lit, and comfortable. Student lounge was very nice and has a Starbucks in it (which is huge IMHO). Exterior of building is pretty with the rotunda and green serving as the most beautiful part of the school. The buildings surrounding the green (Law Review, Childrens Advocacy Center, Alumni Bldg., ..) offer nice southern charm as well.
There were about 50 students that attended (much less than Villanova which had over 100 for sure) and most of them seemed undecided (surprisingly, quite a few were from out of state). Overall, it seemed like a collegial, professional group with a southern edge that Id enjoy going to school with save for a guy who asked the most ridiculous questions and made some very stupid comments on a tour. Apparently, FSU has over admitted in the past so the low number could be a result of their effort to cut down admits (I def. expected more admitted students). This bodes well for those who are borderline applicants or on the waitlist.
After a full days worth of activities I left feeling highly informed. I was very surprised to see such strong representation by current students; they set up tables outside on the green to discuss their many different student orgs and co-curricular activities. Activities seemed to be a very big deal here; Moot Court, Mock Trial, Law Review, Journals, and SBA all come to mind.
Being located in the state capital is a bigger deal than I had imagined. The Court of Appeals is across the street and Supreme Court judges interact with the College of Law quite frequently. I find this to be a huge advantage as I am interested in government/politics work at some point in law school. Many current students I talked to had taken advantage of this.
Professor Gey, who ran the mock class, was unbelievable in my opinion. I could have listened to him lecture for hours as he offered that unique mix of being informed and witty at the same time. Some older professors seemed a little more separatist but the faculty receives high marks overall.
The administration was the best Ive encountered. All were highly professional, prepared, and accommodative. In particular, the career services lady seemed awesome. She offered a demonstration of their career services online database/application that seemed very cutting-edge. I am sure this is a reason their employment numbers look so good. The alumni network looked to be very strong not only in Florida, but the SE as a whole. New York, D.C. arent represented strongly, however. Also, Sharon Booker (dean for admissions) was great. She invited me into her office to discuss my options and basically assured me that the law school will do everything it can for its students if a problem arises (e.g. students coming from out of state who face uncertainty regarding residency transfer).
Their emphasis on were competitive but not cut-throat seemed a bit contrived, however, and students did not hesitate to explain their dissatisfaction with the curve (C-based). Nonetheless, it seemed like everyone really does work together to help each other out, which I appreciated.
The law school is completely self-contained except for financial aid, which is on main campus. Overall, I thought the campus was rather nice for a state school especially if you get out and walk around rather than drive by on Tennessee St. Parking looks to be a bit of a problem, but less so for law students owing to its proximity on the edge of campus. The Leach Center (gym/workout center) is really nice (although busy) and is about the only place I could see myself going on main campus. For the record, the women of FSU really are that good looking and friendly and needless to say, theres not a lack of motivation at the gym or anywhere else for that matter. Thanks to Geoff for showing me around town and telling me places to go. He, myself, and several students I met at admit day def. had a great weekend partying.
Housing is very affordable in Tally although the closer one goes to campus the less nice are the options. I personally did not like the apartments across the street from the law school and will most likely be living in Polos on the Park a 10-minute drive.
All current students I talked to seemed to have found summer opportunities although there were more students taking class over the summer than at Villanova, which is debatable as to whether that is a good idea or not.
All in all, FSU beat my expectations and is where Ill be attending in the fall (barring any change to state law regarding residency transfer). While it might never fully escape the shadow of UF, I strongly believe FSU will continue to rise. And for those of us who are interested in more options than Big Law, I think its the best school in the state. I am excited to become a Nole and look forward to trouncing Miami on opening day.
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Toledo vs. Cincinnati?« on: March 29, 2006, 11:24:47 PM »
Yes, I was at the admit day and there Friday as well when they took out students who were receiving the full scholarships. Yes, after 1L the scholarship recipient needs to have above a 3.3 to keep it going forward. Toledo knowingly gives out more of these full scholarships than will be renewed. The estimated % that will keep the scholarships (accounting for aptitude and what's at stake) is 50 - 60% according to Dean Closius.
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Toledo vs. Cincinnati?« on: March 29, 2006, 09:39:52 PM »
I don't remember the exact details on the curve, just that they don't adhere to a strict curve. I think median grade in a prof's class is supposed to be around a 2.8. When a prof deviates too far from it, they need to offer an explanation. The Dean was very candid about the fact that all of those entering with a full scholarship will not keep it. He said he expected about 50-60% of those 1Ls on a full-ride to retain it for 2L. Hope this helps a bit.
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Who else is going to FSU this Friday?« on: March 29, 2006, 01:26:32 PM »
I am going, I actually arrive tomorrow morning and will be staying through the weekend. If you want, PM me and we can talk when we're down there.
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Toledo vs. Cincinnati?« on: March 29, 2006, 09:43:11 AM »
I think it's a tough decision, don't just look at the rankings. I have a h.s. classmate who had to make the same decision as you and she chose Cincinnatti. Partly because we are from Toledo and she really didn't want to be there -- I believe she got a 1/2 scholarship at Cinci although her numbers are pretty similar. She was in the top 20% there her first semester and she has found a job working for some judge down in Atlanta after 1L. It sounds like her experience has been great. Personally, I have never visited Cinci, but from what I gather from looking at the ABA data both are equally as regional (65% in OH) and bar passage rates are equally high (90% ish). Of course, Cinci grads will dominate job market there, if that is where you want to live. Both full-time programs are very small for a law school although Toledo's part-time program might make the school feel bigger.
Honestly, I don't think your employment prospects will be significantly improved by attending Cinci alone. Top 20% @ Toledo and top 20% at Cinci will likely find the same opps. Check out facilities, visit with profs, examine what programs are offered and if they are of interest and see where you feel most comfortable.
I posted a review of my visit to Toledo under Review/Rankings section. PM me if you have any other questions.
Where should I go next fall? / Re: stupid question regarding reading employment statistics« on: March 28, 2006, 06:51:08 PM »
I believe business refers to those graduates who've found industry employment (e.g. general counsel for some firm, consulting, etc.) rather than in private practice law firm, government, etc..
Reviews, Visits, and Rankings / Univ. of Toledo Review« on: March 27, 2006, 12:15:54 PM »
In the event that any LSDers are considering Toledo, I thought I'd share my experiences this past weekend at their Scholarship Reception and Admitted Students Day.
Overall, I must say that I was more impressed than I thought I would be. On Friday the College of Law wecolmed 10-15 students such as myself who've been offered a full scholarship. There were at least as many professors and students in attendance to highlight the school, their experiences, and answer questions. Afterwards, we all went to dinner in downtown Toledo at one of the nicest restaurants in the city. They really rolled out the red carpet, but were very honest at the same time. Dinner conversation was great (I sat next to Professor Closius - the previous Dean of the College of Law). I found him to be a very no nonsense, get'er done kind of guy, which I highly appreciate. He is very gung ho for pushing Toledo into a solid Tier 2 category (Median LSAT for full-time day is up to 159). There is a caveat to the whole full-scholarship offer that he was very candid about. Similarly to other schools, many of those scholarships extended for the first year will not be renewed (He seemed to believe 50-60% will hold on to it = maintain > 3.3 GPA). If you're in the top 20% at Toledo you'll have an excellent shot at finding placement in larger markets (Chicago, Atlanta, and Phoenix in particular). In Michigan and Ohio those in the top 50% will most likely find solid employment. The College made it a point to make clear that it does not teach toward the Bar in Ohio and Michigan and will continue to push its graduates to seek employment outside of the Midwest (SunBelt in particular). The Career Services people seemed personable and involved. About 40 firms recruit on-campus, >100 in their registry, and there are many efforts to coordinate alumni relations in 25 markets across the country. Jobs seem abundant after 2L, less so after 1L with school's externship program with judges, etc. making up for it.
Overall, the professors appeared to be exceptional and very student-oriented and are the strength of the school. The law school building itself facilitates for many encounters with faculty and it truly appeared as though the law students were friends with the professors as might be the case at a small liberal arts college. I was highly impressed by this. On Saturday, Professor Ben Davis offered up a mock class on international law. It was superior to the mock class that I sat in on at Villanova (which was very good).
The students also appeared to be quite intelligent, enthusiastic, involved, and excited to be there. Definitely not cut-throat but class rank is taken seriously by all. I will say, however, some of the students that showed up on Saturday at the Admitted Students Day did not seem to be of the same pedigree as those that went to dinner with me. Also, the students on the student panel on Saturday didn't make the best impression. I know that is judgmental but I am offering the honest feeling I got. From my experiences with students on Friday in combination with talking to a H.S. classmate who's a 2L, the student body nonetheless receives high marks. Guys...for the record, it might not have been a representative sample but the female law students that I ran into were quite hot. There were three at my dinner table alone. After meeting a girl named Tara, I find myself struggling to maintain objectivity. Seriously hot!
The facilities were a mixed bag. The school sits in a nice location, far removed from the undergrads and the exterior and surrounding grounds are nice. The law library is old, 70s-ish looking, with that pale yellow lighting -- this is a problem for me as I liked to study in the library during undergrad. One of two large lecture halls could be updated but all other classrooms, moot court, student lounges/offices are very nice/comfortable and updated with all technology. The student union (not a part of law building) is nice (has a starbucks too) and the athletic center is quite remarkable as well.
If I were in a serious relationship and absolutely knew where I wanted to work and what I wanted to do, I'd have no problem taking Toledo over all my other admits while busting my ass to perform at the top of my class, get on law review, and gain admission to the Order of the Coif. I would feel very prepared and confident that I could begin my career in any market that I would want to enter. However, I grew up and went to h.s. in Toledo and was quite excited to get away for undergrad and career. Coming back is a difficult choice as I've been away for 6 years and as an Economist realize the economic obstables in the Midwest and Toledo, in particular (although this is good for going to school there = cheap = more part-time work = $$ in law school).
I actually grew up down the street from the University and was not aware of all that it had to offer, which is a lot. Nonetheless, I do not like the Midwest, except for the friendliness, the Pistons, and some of the girls, and have especially grown to dislike the cold. As such, while I am confident that I'd receive as good of legal education/employment prospects as any other admit and would graduate with very little debt (assuming I perform at the top of my class which isn't going to be a cake walk), right now I cannot commit to attending.
Acceptances / Re: In at Villanova!« on: March 23, 2006, 04:48:45 PM »
Congrats Matt!! Awesome school- with you being from the NJ I cannot think of two better options for you. I am glad everything worked out. In-state at Rutgers seems tough to pass up, but go where you think you'll have the better overall experience.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Judy Spyder Women's Gloves Fit Great Bought a pair at my local Dick's store for my adult daughter. She has small hands, is sometimes inbetween sizes, and gloves do not usually fit well. The first pair fit so well that I ordered two more pair online. Great fit and quality. December 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by rockiesgirl Perfect cute warm gloves.. Great for snowboarding/skiing, wiping the snow off your car, shoveling snow, and just about anything in cold. :) I bought the fushia pink, lots of compliments. March 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Linda50 This product was great sitting on the sidelines at both my sons soccer games, these gloves kept my hands warm. My boys also play soccer wearing the same gloves.. We all love them it was worth the money, they arent cheap! March 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by Lambie34 Not worth it I bought these for sledding with my kids and snowboarding. They are not waterproof or even water resistant. They will get soaked and fast. They will not keep your hands warm in 30 or below weather for more than 30 minutes. They are not good for snowy winter sports or extended periods of time in cold weather. They will come in handy for when I run in the winter months, cleaning off my car in the winter, that's about it. They are made of average quality, hold together well and are sharp looking on. Not a good value though for $30. March 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by Eener Not for skiing The gloves are a cute style and they had a comfortable fit in the store. I couldn't feel my fingers after 2 hours of skiing in 35? weather. February 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by dc25 Love the Gloves! I love the gloves. They match my jacket perfect and look and feel great. They keep my hands warm while walking in the cold Minnesota conditions. They do get wet and cold when sledding but are wonderful for casual wear. February 20, 2013

Pikes Peak might always be known as "Unser Mountain" to auto racing fans around the world. But the Vahsholtz family now owns it.
Woodland Park's own Clint and Codie, also known as father and son, each won their divisions at the 91st running of the famed Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 30. Coupled with Leonard's 18 wins (Clint's dad/Codie's grandfather) the Vahsholtz family now has 39 victories - one more than the famed Unsers.
"I always dreamed of getting our family to that next level," said Codie, 22, a 2009 Woodland Park High School graduate. "I feel ecstatic now that it's happened."
Clint won in his first attempt in the Open Wheel Division - a 2013 Ford Open. His time of 11 minutes, 5.05 seconds was impressive considering the murky conditions he had to race in as clouds, rain and snow became an issue as the day wore on.
Codie competed in the 250cc motorcycle division, setting an all-time record in the class of with a time 11:24.494 - 28 seconds faster than second-place finisher Jason Archuleta of Colorado Springs. Archuleta held the previous record of 11:41, set in 2012.
"I'm really thankful to the Lord that he could give me the opportunity to do this," said Codie, who also raced Pikes Peak in 2011 and 2012. "I felt focused all week. I felt really confident that I could make a good, clean run up the mountain and that we could walk away with a victory."
Clint and Codie drove/rode in completely different conditions. When Codie took off at about 9:30 a.m., temperatures were in the mid 60s at the start line with perfect visibility. By the time Clint made his run at about 3:20 p.m., he had to deal clouds, fog and slick roads caused by rain and snow. It was not a "Race to the Clouds" for Clint, but rather a "Race through the Clouds."
"I went through a dense fog patch below Mile Marker 16,' Clint said. "I thought it was raining, I could hardly see through my face mask."
Clint cleaned the muck off his helmet by using paper towels as wiper blades that had been taped to his arms. By the time Clint was ready for his run, the mountain was under a flash flood warning.
The slick conditions caused the usually aggressive Clint to take things a little slower.
"A time or two the car chopped sideways," Clint said. "I gave it the best run I could given the conditions.
"You take it as you can get it. I'll take it as a win and we'll move forward."
The Vahsholtz's have been competing on Pikes Peak as a family for nearly 40 years. Leonard, the owner of Clint's car, began his career in the 1970s, winning his last title in 2007. He also won an exhibition truck title in 2008, but the family does not officially count that as a victory.
The Vahsholtz's arrived at the mountain early Sunday morning - about 3 a.m. - to get set up and ready for the long day ahead. Clint visited with Codie prior to his run up the 12.42-mile course and gave him some final instructions. (Clint was a three-time winner in motorcycles back in the early 1990s and knows a thing or two about making a good run)
While Clint ate a breakfast burrito, Codie got his game face on and waited in line for his run with members of his crew, as well as the bike's owner, Gary Steinberger of Colorado Springs.
Clint had no way to immediately congratulate Codie since telephone reception is non-existent on most of the mountain. So he had to wait about six hours until he reached the top.
"I was so excited for Codie to get that first win," Clint said. "He had that eye all week. I hardly had to say anything to him.
"Gary Steinberger put a motorcycle under him that he could win in. And he went out there and did it."

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
RALEIGH, N.C. - An exotic dancer looking to enhance her backside is out of work and a North Carolina woman is accused of injecting the dancer with a disfiguring potion.
The Guilford County sheriff's department said Thursday that 42-year-old Lauretta Cheek of Greensboro was arrested and charged with one count of practicing medicine without a license. Cheek did not have a listed phone and a deputy working on the case did not know if she has an attorney.
Detective Craig Cotten said Cheek was charged after a Charlotte woman complained of burns where she was injected with an unknown liquid or gel. Cotten says the victim met Cheek in a hotel room last year and paid about $500.
Cotten said he's found no connection to a similar case in Florida last month.
Our sister station WFMY reports Cheek had been arrested previously in 2008 for Practicing Medicine Without a License and Obtaining Controlled Substance by Fraud/Forgery.
At that time, Cheek ran a business called AltMED that provided lipo-dissolve injections designed to reduce fat. The charges in 2008 stemmed from accusations that she was injecting women with drugs that reportedly caused kidney failure.
She is currently on probation on those charges.

> DLP vs LCD Projectors
DLP and LCD Projector Technology Explained
Projectors can be broadly catogorised into two technologies, DLP (Digital Light Processing) or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). This refers to the internal mechanisms that the projector uses to compose the image.
In short both
technologies are able to offer crisp, clear and vibrant images, the
main consideration to make on which projector is right for you is down
to the more specific requirements such as brightness, resolution, contrast
and connectivity.
|Disadvantages of DLP
LCD technology is used by many manufacturer's
such as Epson,
|Advantages of LCD
|Disadvantages of LCD
LCD projectors are generally better where colour reproduction is critical, although DLP projector manufacturers are working towards a much better colour accuracy with Brilliant Colour Technology
There are some great LCD and DLP machines availble on the market, and the technology for both is always improving. If you are still unsure please contact us. Our staff are on hand to advise you, offering an unbiased opinion on the projectors that would be suitable for the application you have in mind.
Footnote: There is a third display type namely LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon). This has become more commonplace in the projector market, popularised by manufacturers such as Canon on their high end models. lLCoS represents a step forward in contrast levels over many LCD projectors, while producing very crisp, saturated images. LCoS is proving a hit with customers who are willing to pay a little more for exceptional picture quality.

Document Number: 3561The Affordability of Higher Education: A Review of Recent Survey Research - A review of survey research conducted by Public Agenda for The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, to supplement the Losing Ground report finds that Americans are opposed to approaches that reduce access to college either by raising tuition or admitting fewer students. They are more sympathetic to approaches that emphasize greater contributions from the state or savings by colleges themselves. The report also notes that the public has not thought through the complexities of higher education financing. (John Immerwahr, Public Agenda, May 2002)...

2 February 2012: RCC, BTB Host First Stakeholder Session
Washington recently played host to the first ever stakeholder session for the Beyond the Border Action Plan and the Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC).
Hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the meeting was open to interested stakeholders. American and Canadian officials told attendees about the upcoming plans for Beyond the Border and the RCC, including details about opportunities for involvement in the process.
After hearing from both the Beyond the Border and RCC co-chairs, participants broke up into smaller groups. These full day Breakout Sessions were held at the U.S. Department of Commerce, and covered the initiatives outlined in the RCC Joint Action Plan pertaining to transportation, agriculture and food, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, environment, nanotechnology, and occupational safety. Summaries of these sessions are available at trade.gov/RCC.
Announced in 2011 by President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the United States-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council and Beyond the Border initiatives aim to formalize the $1 trillion annual trade and investment relationship between the United States and Canada. The RCC and BTB will promote economic growth, job creation, perimeter security and other benefits to our consumers and businesses through increased regulatory transparency and coordination.

Sounds are the building blocks of language, but they can be a stumbling block for those who are trying to learn a new language.
Two University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee linguistics researchers are trying to unlock some of the fundamental challenges to second-language acquisition.
Fred Eckman and Gregory Iverson are involved in a study, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), looking at how the sounds and principles of pronunciation in a person's native language impact the way he or she learns English. Eckman is a UWM Distinguished Professor and Iverson a professor in the Department of Linguistics.
Their research has focused primarily on challenges faced by native speakers of Japanese, Korean and Spanish. For example, Japanese and Korean students learning English have difficulty differentiating the pronunciation of words that start with "s" and "sh," like "sip" and "ship."
"English, Japanese and Korean all have these sounds ['s' and 'sh'], but only in English can we use the sounds, particularly before 'i' at the beginning of words, to make different words," explains Eckman.
Documenting these types of specific linguistic challenges is important on several levels, says Iverson.
"NIH is interested because of the difficulties immigrants have in assimilating and becoming part of the U.S., and language development is part of that," he says. In addition, studies of how learners acquire second languages "can help us better understand the learning process itself. It's one small aspect of how learning goes on."
While Eckman and Iverson have focused on Korean, Japanese and English, they and doctoral students working with them have also done some work with Russian, Thai and Arabic. They've published a number of papers on the results, most recently in Studies in Second Language Acquisition.
First-language acquisition
Eckman and Iverson are now exploring first-language acquisition with Jae Yang Song, assistant professor in Communication Sciences and Disorders, who studies how infants and children learn language. As a phonetician – a specialist in phonics – she has also enabled the group to do analysis of its findings at UWM, rather than sending data elsewhere for transcribing and coding.
In earlier stages of the second-language acquisition study, the students pronounced English words based on pictures they reviewed. The recordings of their pronunciations were then sent to Ohio State University, where they were coded based on if and how words were mispronounced.
Pronunciation challenges can be similar among dissimilar languages, says Iverson. For example, both Spanish – an Indo-European language – and Korean and Japanese – Asian languages – have pronunciation rules that make learning English pronunciation more difficult.
"It's interesting from a second-language acquisition point of view that the same kind of patterning with respect to 's' and 'z' in Spanish parallels what happens with the 's' and 'sh' in Japanese and Korean," says Iverson.
Native Spanish speakers don't distinguish between "s" and "z" sounds, he explains, making it difficult for them to learn the difference between English words like "sip" and "zip."
Another phenomenon they found for Spanish speakers in the Western Hemisphere was difficulty making the distinction between 'd' and 't,'" adds Iverson. "Both of those sounds also exist in Spanish, but as variants of the same sound.… For a Spanish speaker learning English, this is a crucial distinction they are going to have to learn to make if they're going to distinguish between words like 'they' and 'day.'"
At the same time, Eckman and Iverson have found that even languages that have similar sounds and rules provide challenges for English-language learners. While both Japanese and Korean native speakers have trouble distinguishing the "s" and "sh" sounds in English words, they make different types of mistakes, based on pronunciation rules in their native languages.
For example, Eckman explains, in Korean, when the "sh" sound is used, it's only before the "i" vowel sound, except in words borrowed from foreign languages – like "syaweo" for "shower." The Japanese language, however, uses "sh" before other vowels, such as in the word "shogun."
So a Korean learning English might feel the need to put in that "i" sound required in his or her native language, explains Eckman. A native Korean speaker might pronounce the former president's name as George "Busi," while a native Japanese speaker might say "Busshu. "
"The freedom of occurrence of the 'sh' sound is limited, but even more so in Korean than in Japanese," says Eckman. "To relax these limitations; to undo and remove what you've learned to do in your native language for 20 years or more – to remove that speech habit – is difficult."
And some learners get to the point where they think they've learned the distinction so well that they hypercorrect – "even to the point where they're using the 'sh' sound in more positions than they should be doing."
Their research isn't designed to provide recommendations on how to teach English as a second language, notes Eckman. However, the findings can help teachers identify how the sounds and pronunciation rules of the native language result in different consequences and patterns of errors in learning English.
"We've found that learning proceeds in stages. It's not all one fell swoop. People learn progressively and even go beyond what native speakers do. All of this is part of the developmental process that is the core of what we've been trying to investigate."
ESL program receives national accreditation
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's English as a Second Language (ESL) program has received national accreditation. A new federal law, signed by President Barack Obama in 2010, requires that all English- language training programs must be accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the Department of Education.
UWM's program had already begun the accreditation process at that point, and received initial accreditation in December 2011 from the Commission on English as a Second Language Accreditation Program. The goal of accreditation, according to the commission, is to help institutions gauge their effectiveness against standards developed by professionals in the field and benchmarks set by the profession.
The UWM program received its four-year accreditation from the commission in December 2012.
The 2010 Accreditation of English Language Training Programs Act, amended immigration laws to require that nonimmigrant students intending to pursue an English-language course of study must enroll in an accredited English- language training program. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is responsible for reviewing SEVP-certified English-language programs for compliance with the law's accreditation requirements.

(Sports Network) - Two teams moving in opposite directions will meet in an NFCNorth matchup at Mall of America Field on Sunday when the struggling MinnesotaVikings play host to the resurgent Detroit Lions.
The Vikings have hit the skids thanks in large part to the deficiencies oftheir second-year quarterback Christian Ponder. In this pass happy era of NFLfootball Ponder has been egregiously bad for about a month now, failing tothrow for even 100 yards on three different occasions.
He hit rock bottom in Seattle last Sunday during Minnesota's 30-20 setback tothe Seahawks, throwing for just 63 yards, the second time in three weeks themoribund Vikings' passing game has offered little production despite a arushing game which generated 243 yards, 182 of them from the best running backin football, Adrian Peterson.
"We are struggling in a lot of areas right now," said Minnesota head coachLeslie Frazier. "We were not able to capitalize on Adrian's day and that'sdifficult to swallow. We need to have more balance."
Balance wasn't a problem for Detroit in Jacksonville last weekend when theLions used a stifling defense combined with a career day from running backMikel Leshoure en route to a 31-14 win over the Jaguars.
Leshoure found the end zone three times in the second quarter and finished thecontest with 70 yards on 16 carries while the Detroit defense limitedJacksonville to just one first down in the first half and two touchdowns inthe fourth quarter.
Matthew Stafford went 22-for-33 with 285 yards, Calvin Johnson had sevencatches for 129 yards while Joique Bell added 13 carries for 73 yards and ascore for the Lions, who have won their past two games to get back to .500 onthe season.
"The most important thing is that we won the game," said Detroit head coachJim Schwartz. "Any time you can come away with a road game is huge for a team.I thought we executed really well and we adjusted to what they were doing. I'mreally proud of the offensive line and our running game today."
Minnesota has dominated the Lions for most of this series, compiling a gaudy67-33-2 mark against them, including a 20-13 win in the Motor City back onSept. 30 when Percy Harvin returned a kickoff for 105 yards and a touchdownand Marcus Sherels added a 77-yard punt return score.
Ponder, however, was just 16-of-26 for 111 yards in that one.
"We have struggled in the passing game," Frazier added. "We've struggled for acouple of games here now. We know that in order for us to achieve our goals asa team, we've got to create some balance on offense and take advantage of ourability to run the football as well as we can."
Ponder's early returns were promising in 2012 as Minnesota got off to animpressive 4-1 start, but the wheels have come off over the last month.
It was the Washington Redskins who exposed Ponder on Oct. 14 with the overloadblitz. Harassed and hurried, the Florida State product has looked like arookie again ever since, failing to recognize things pre-snap and undergoing acomplete breakdown in mechanics.
Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave began losing confidence in Ponderand the second-year starter has thrown all eight of his interceptions in thelast five games. Overall, the Vikings have 12 turnovers in those five contestsand almost all of them are directly related to Ponder, who has been makingextremely poor decisions, particularly when he's out of the pocket trying toextend plays. Ponder is athletic, but those aforementioned mechanics fallapart when he's on the move, causing his ball to sail.
"I think, for me, it's going back to technique, working on my footwork andworking on my reads and everything," Ponder said. "One thing I need tocontinue is to keep stepping up in the pocket and not flushing left or right,but keep moving forward."
The problem is Ponder has been saying that for weeks now. He recognizes theissues but sliding in the pocket or stepping up while displaying at leastpassable fundamentals is an innate ability which can't be taught. When thebullets start flying, Ponder regresses to what's natural to him, and hisdefault settings are just not conducive to solid quarterback play at the NFLlevel.
Ponder apologists point to a lack of separation from Minnesota's pedestrianwide receiver group, but the "All-22" coaches film tells a different story.Time and time again, the opposition is sticking eight or even nine in the boxto stop Peterson and Ponder has been unable or unwilling to take advantage ofplay-action. He simply doesn't have the confidence to grip it and rip it.
To his credit, Ponder refused to follow the Vikings' talking points designedto protect him.
"We've got good receivers, we've got good blocking up front. I've just got todo a better job to get the ball in their hands," Ponder said. "This team isn'tone-dimensional. This offense isn't one-dimensional. We've shown that the pastcouple games, but we can throw the ball. We're going to figure it out andwe're going to win in the air."
Things will be even tougher for Ponder this week since Harvin is in jeopardyof missing Sunday's game after severely spraining his ankle in Seattle.
Harvin hurt himself on a rushing attempt late in the third quarter butfinished the contest although he was clearly hobbling throughout. The standoutplaymaker entered the Vikings' facility on crutches on Monday and toldreporters the ankle was sprained in three different places. An MRI takenMonday confirmed a significant sprain, though Harvin did not sustain anyfractures.
"I'm in a lot of pain," Harvin said. "There's a lot of swelling as of rightnow. My whole ankle, all the way around is swollen. So we've got a lot to workto do. It's a longshot (to play Sunday). But I'm not ruling myself out."
For the Lions, Stafford figures to eat up a Minnesota secondary withoutinjured cornerback Chris Cook, especially if he gets any production fromLeshoure in the backfield.
Leshoure ran for just 26 yards on 13 carries the first time these two teamsmet bit the Vikings defense has allowed a 100-yard rushing effort in four oftheir five games since.
"Defensively, our run defense doesn't resemble the type of run defense we'recapable of playing," Frazier said. "We have to go back to the drawing boardand come up with some ways to defend the run better than we're doing."
Any semblance of a running game should open up play action for the strong-armed Stafford.
Just as Ponder has fallen apart in recent weeks Stafford has heated up,reaching 10,000 career passing yards during a win over the Jags last Sunday.Stafford reached the mark in just 37 games, the second fastest in history toKurt Warner, who did it in 36.
That trend figures to continue in this one.
"I think that whether it's the first game of the year or the ninth game of theyear, whatever it is, when you're playing a division opponent it becomes moreimportant because a win for you also puts a loss on them," Schwartz said. "Theway (the Vikings) started the season, they put themselves in the picture. Wecan't worry about that. We need to worry about just this game."
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Lions 28, Vikings 13
