Two Chicago-area law schools were in the top 10 in the nation for the percentage of recent graduates who went on to work at the country's largest law firms.
Northwestern University's School of Law ranked second in the National Law Journal's list, which was released this week. The rankings showed that 52.1 percent of its 2011 graduates were hired as first-year associates at one of the 250 largest firms in the nation. The National Law Journal compiles its largest law firms lists based on headcount.
University of Chicago's Law School was ranked No. 7 with a 45.3 percent placement rate for graduates going to the nation's largest firms.
University of Pennsylvania's Law School topped the list with 56.9 percent of its 2011 graduating class getting jobs at the biggest firms.
Chicago was the 2010 top seed, when 58.97 percent of its 2010 law graduates were hired by one of nation's largest firms. Northwestern ranked eighth in 2010 with a 44.37 percent rate.
The ratings do not reflect a school's overall placement record. The National Law Journal ranking excludes the number of graduates who get clerkships, go into academia, are hired by small firms or enter public service.
(In 2010, Northwestern's job placement rate was 94 percent. University of Chicago boasted a nearly 98 percent rate for 2010 law school graduates.)
The National Law Journal said that in 2011, fewer graduates went to the nation's largest firms than the previous year. Only 22 percent of students from the 50 schools that are the most popular recruiting bases for the largest firms were hired as first-year associates, compared with 27 percent in 2010.
University of Illinois, University of Notre Dame and University of Wisconsin also made the list. University of Illinois was ranked No. 29 with a 11.1 percent placement rate at large firms, while University of Notre Dame was No. 23 with 13.7 percent. University of Wisconsin came in at No. 44 with 7.1 percent.

Startup Weekend Toronto Hosts Local Entrepreneurs For a Crash Course in Creating a Business
Toronto is poised to host its fourth Startup Weekend this weekend. The event brings together entrepreneurs, designers, developers and startup enthusiasts to participate in 54 hours of taking innovative business ideas from concept to launch.
On Friday night, attendees will take the open mic to pitch their ideas to the group in 60 seconds or less.
After teams form, the rest of the weekend will be spent developing the most popular ideas – typically web and mobile applications – with the help of mentors and seasoned startup entrepreneurs. Around 300 people are expected to participate in the event.
By Sunday, teams will be ready to present their ideas in front of a panel of judges who will award great prizes designed to help teams continue to build their startups after the weekend is done.
The winning team will be announced at a closing party Sunday night, November 11th. Members of the public are invited to attend to meet the winning team, network with entrepreneurs and watch panel sessions about startup culture.
Local CEOs, founders, and startup veterans will be on hand to provide expertise and share their experiences in the fast-paced world of technology startups.
"This is going to be a great weekend for the startup community in Toronto" said Chris Eben, the event's lead organiser. "It's great to see the experienced guys donate their time and money to help the community grow locally."
"Our mission this weekend isn't limited to just creating local startups. We want to support local business as well," said co-organizer Sunil Sharma. "Part of the learning experience at Startup Weekend is demonstrating practices that encourage growth and innovation right here at home."
Startup Weekend Toronto is one of around 60 Startup Weekend events being held across the globe as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW). The winner of Startup Weekend Toronto will go forward to compete in a Global Startup Battle against all of the winning teams from all cities for a chance to win even more prizes.
GEW is an international initiative that celebrates the innovators and job creators who launch startups. Toronto's event will officially open GEW for Canada through it's partnership with the CYBF, the organization behind GEW Canada.
Startup Weekend Toronto begins on Friday, November 9 at 6:00pm. The wrap party will take place on Sunday, November 11 starting with final pitches at 4pm and a great party to close the weekend out.

Protecting quarterback Kurt Warner is the Cardinals' top priority against any opponent, but it takes on added importance against a team such as the Giants.
The Giants' pass rush has been inconsistent this year - Saints quarterback Drew Brees was barely touched last week - but the Cardinals have great respect for the Giants' ability to get to the quarterback.
Last season, the Giants sacked Warner just once in a 37-29 victory at University of Phoenix Stadium, but hit him numerous times.
"We would certainly love to be able to spread everybody out and throw it every down, but you can't do that against guys like these where they are able to win one-on-one matchups at times," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "You have to mix your protections. You have to keep a tight end in. You have to chip with a back. You have to do a number of things to try to give Kurt the time to get the ball out.
"It becomes a little bit of a chess match, and that's a lot of the excitement of preparing for an opponent like this."
Warner started the first nine games of the 2004 season for the Giants, then lost the job to rookie Eli Manning. The change, coincidentally, came the week after Warner was sacked six times in a 17-14 loss to the Cardinals.
Both quarterbacks have been successful since, and Warner is impressed with Manning's development.
"He has come so far," Warner said. "When I was with him, I think you saw the ability, but there was so much on his shoulders, with everything that went down in the draft and being a first-year guy and having to be the savior and being Peyton's brother.
"There was so much stuff there that it was hard to see what you were going to get early on."
Manning has never played better than he has this season, said Giants coach Tom Coughlin. He's completing nearly 61 percent of his passes and has 11 touchdowns and three interceptions. He's been sacked only three times.
"Going into last weekend (a loss at New Orleans), he was playing super," Coughlin said. "He didn't play as well as we would have liked last weekend but it went along with our team."
The Cardinals defense is coming off its best effort of the season, but the players have deflected much of the attention coming their way this week.
The Cardinals continue to rank first in the league against the run and moved up one spot, from last to 31st, against the pass.
Defensive end Darnell Dockett answered most questions this week by heaping praise upon the Giants and saying the Cardinals will be just trying to keep pace with them on Sunday.
Strong safety Adrian Wilson followed the same theme.
"We're an inconsistent defense," Wilson said with a little smile. "We're just trying to somehow hang on and hope that we don't get worse. You've got to be humble."
Receiver Anquan Boldin practiced on a limited basis Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
Boldin suffered a right ankle sprain last Sunday in Seattle and missed practice Thursday and Friday.
"Every day it's getting better," Boldin said. "No setbacks yet."
The Cardinals won't make a decision about Boldin's status until Sunday.
� Tight end Stephen Spach (ankle) has been ruled out of the game.
� For the Giants, linebacker Michael Boley (knee), defensive tackle Chris Canty (calf) and cornerback Aaron Ross (groin) have been ruled out. Offensive tackle Kareem McKenzie (groin) is questionable.
Everyone else on the Giants' injured list is probable.
Receiver Early Doucet, a third-round pick in 2008, could be active for the first time this season Sunday because of Boldin's questionable status.
Doucet missed the first game of the season because of fractured ribs and has been inactive for the team's other four games, too.
"It's a matter of me being patient," Doucet said, "and, when that opportunity comes, being ready physically and mentally."
Whisenhunt believes Doucet is ready, despite the absence of playing time.
"You can definitely see the difference between where is now and where he was last year," Whisenhunt said. "The confidence, the crispness in his routes, the way he goes up and gets the ball. The big difference for us as a staff is we feel a lot more comfortable with Early in there because of what he's done on the field in practice."

Pharma companies are joining the chorus, despite fears that e-Rx software will be configured to make it difficult for doctors to access information about non-formulary and alternative products, and will promote preferred drugs based on price.
Marketers support systems that provide physicians with information at the point of care on all prescribing options, as well as formulary listings, co-pays, and patient costs. If a physician prefers a drug that costs $100 a month, the doctor then has an opportunity to tell the patient why he thinks that medicine is worth it and explain the drawbacks of cheaper alternatives. Such information reduces unpleasant surprises at the pharmacy counter that often lead to complaints or noncompliance.
Complex pre-authorization procedures and step-therapy requirements, alternatively, would make it difficult to prescribe non-preferred drugs. Manufacturers recognize that electronic prescribing systems will boost generic drug utilization; what they want is for doctors and patients to be informed if a prescribing system makes an automatic generic substitution.
Pushing Patient Compliance One point of debate is whether e-prescribing will boost prescribers' compliance with formularies. Studies are inconclusive, noted Weinberger. Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) report that they already get 90 percent compliance to some formularies and don't expect to do much better. Increased generic prescribing is more likely, and PBMs say that even a one-to-three percent rise in generic drug utilization can cut costs significantly.
The biggest potential benefit is that e-prescribing systems may improve patient compliance with a prescribed course of treatment. With electronically transmitted prescriptions, pharmacists can inform the plan or prescriber if a patient is a "no-show." A PBM can follow up and steer the individual into disease management or other compliance programs. Drug companies are analyzing how much e-prescribing will prompt consumers to show up at the pharmacy to get their prescriptions and refills.
Seeking Safe Harbors For e-prescribing to succeed, physicians have to buy into it. Health plans, PBMs, and state and local e-prescribing consortia are willing to provide free hardware and software to physicians, and some are even paying doctors to go electronic. But many organizations are holding off on giveaways for fear of violating federal anti-kickback laws.
Under current policies, it is illegal for payers, hospitals, insurers, and pharma companies to give physicians anything of value that might induce referrals or purchases. The Medicare legislation calls for the HHS inspector general to define a clear safe harbor from anti-kickback laws specifically to allow these parties to give IT equipment and services to doctors.
Drug manufacturers are not on the safe-harbor list, and identifying a clear pathway for pharma companies to provide e-prescribing support to prescribers may be tricky. But Medicare officials support such efforts, provided they maintain current fraud and abuse protections. Legal experts believe that a narrowly defined safe harbor is possible so long as prescribing systems do not favor any particular drug or company.

"Innocence of Muslims" was filmed and first released in Southern California, but much else about its origins remains a mystery.
LOS ANGELES — In a rundown theater on a stretch of Hollywood Boulevard this summer, an independent movie made its debut. The acting was amateurish, the dialogue clunky and the costumes laughable. Fewer than 10 people attended.
Months later, the movie — "Innocence of Muslims" — would be blamed for inciting mobs in Egypt and Libya. The movie was filmed and first released in Southern California, but much else about its origins remains a mystery.
A man who identified himself as an Israeli-American filmmaker claimed Tuesday that he made the movie with backing from wealthy Jewish donors, but there were indications Wednesday that the name and story he gave were false and that the movie was tied to a group of Middle Eastern Christians who live in the U.S. and hold extreme anti-Islamic views.
Steve Klein, who said he served as a script consultant, said he and the producers originally called the movie "Innocence of Bin Laden" in hopes of drawing underground Islamic extremists in the Los Angeles area.

"The movie was only supposed to show in Hollywood," said Klein, who described himself as "an unsophisticated James Bond."
Klein said the video was filmed this year, but he would not reveal the shooting location or the names of the producers. "Innocence of Bin Laden" premiered at the Vine Theater in late June, according to three people. One said the movie was notable for its terrible acting but did not seem anti-Muslim.
Less than two weeks later, a 14-minute trailer for the movie — now called "Innocence of Muslims" — was posted on YouTube by a user identifying himself as Sam Bacile. The scenes in the trailer portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a buffoon, suicidal, gay, lascivious and condoning of pedophilia.
A crew member said the cast and crew were told the film was to be a war drama called "Desert Warrior." In an email interview, the crew member, who asked not to be identified, said the dialogue in the trailer that makes specific attacks against Islam was rerecorded after the actors left the set.
"The original actors said one word, and then the producer and editing team (whom I don't know) dubbed," he wrote.
The trailer posted in July appears to have attracted little notice. But last week, a second version of the trailer was posted, this time in Arabic. Morris Sadek, an Egyptian-American Christian activist who has been a virulent critic of Islam, began promoting the trailer on his Facebook page, saying it revealed the "truth" about Muhammad's life.
Subsequently Al-Nas, an Egyptian television channel, began broadcasting clips. Protests in Egypt and Libya followed.
After the killings at the consulate in Libya, a person identifying himself as Bacile told The Associated Press that he made the movie for $5 million with donations from 100 Jews. He described himself as an Israeli Jew and a California real-estate developer.
However, searches of public records — including court, voting, telephone or property databases — showed no one named Sam Bacile in California.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday afternoon that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, a Coptic Christian who uses the alias Nicola Bacily, had acknowledged managing a company that produced the movie. He insisted Bacile was a real person and had directed the film. But federal court papers said Nakoula's aliases included Nicola Bacily, Erwin Salameh and others.
Klein, the script consultant, is well-known to those who monitor right-wing extremists. The Southern Poverty Law Center has an extensive file on Klein that goes back decades.
An ex-Marine who served in Vietnam, Klein founded Courageous Christians United in 1977.

SPE Round Robin: CrackBerry Kevin on the iPhone 3GS
Hey All,
Week 4 of the Smartphone Round Robin has me back on frenemy #1, the iPhone. Though this year it's the iPhone 3GS.
I actually bought one the day it came out, but since then have only logged 24 hours of total use on it.... it mainly sits here with a dead battery. So, I need you all to tell me what's compelling about the iPhone 3GS and why I should maybe give it more time.
I tend to use my smartphone for communication first, other stuff second. Need to know what I can do (without jail breaking) to speed up that iPhone user experience... how do I make it a quick user experience for completing those everyday little communication tasks.
From there, what's everything I need to know from your perspective of the new iPhone. Would love if you guys could tell me:
- what you love!
- what you hate!
- what you wish was different
- what a BlackBerry user would love about switching to the iPhone
- what a BlackBerry user wouldn't like about an iPhone
- how many apps you have installed on your phone
- how many of those installed apps do you actually use on a regular basis
- how you use the device... what do you spend most of your time doing on your iPhone when you have it in your hand
- what's your favorite app?
and anything else you think this BlackBerry addict would benefit in knowing.
All the best. Thanks for the help!

They're very different devices.
A blackberry is a PIM device with some extras. The recent OS versions don't all do a great job of these extras and the carrier ability to hobble stuff is annoying. Don't get me started on mass moving photos to a memory card, it's not possible in 4.7.
The iPhone does about everything else better. It's not as good as a blackberry for the PIM stuff.
Both customize differently. Both have different preferences. I wish the iphone had the time-based rules a blackberry has (i.e. 10-7 don't ring and turn screen on, only vibrate unless it's from X) But I like the notification idea on the iphone.
No blackberry is as internationally friendly as an iphone. With my iPhone I could have both a Russian and English keyboard on a device with a French language interface and the date/time in Australian style.
For me, it's a convergence device. I lookup stuff online, check email, facebook, tom tom, phone calls, notes, documents, weather, credit card terminal, budgeting, movie info, read books, wikipedia, etc, etc, etc
sure, the blackberry can do most of what I need too but not all of them, and finding the solution for all of what I need is not near as easy.
The iphone models are basically the same thing. Take the Tour, Bold, Bold 9700, Storm 2 and Curve. Now find me one model that is the top in everything. They don't sell a Tour to everyone or a Bold to everyone.
I have 50-some apps. Some of them are for very specific uses. Some I need the app to keep the notifications I setup via the website most of the time. Others I use only in specific cases but having them is super nice. I don't have a favorite, just a list of useful ones.

Current Bold user, but wanting an iPhone
I have had a Bold since they came out. There are pro's and Con's as with any phone. Recently, my best friend has gotten a iPhone from his Curve and I have had the pleasure of being able to play with his iPhone. I like the memory, the response, the functions that it can do. I Love My Bold, but with OS updates from AT&T taking so long, I feel they are way behind. I'd really like to Win that iPhone Kevin. I'll always be a CrackBerry Addict!

iphone 3gs
well I would luv to have a 3GS too as well as my good buddy bb bold onyx
I would do comparisons all day long hehe and post them for you gouys!
iphone 3gs has of course tons of apps and more leg room for getting around but it lack in audio sound quality and signal is a bit weak, also battery as most people have mentioned.
iphone is a good device and a very nice platform for developers contrary to the media hype saying the troubles in getting listed on app store. It can't be that bad if you got 90,000 apps out there lol
as a rule don't believe the hype
the display is nice and clean the GUI is cool, but pictures tend to be pixelated and its not all that good in low light.
sms sorta sucks on iphone as does chatting email too slow, you need a 3rd party push - coming from BB its a do or die situation for me.
the accelerometer is pretty good and size of the device I found to be decieving actually in a good way its smaller than it looks , reasonably comfortable to use and pocket with out padding an dit fits in most cases
the movie editing is a great feature
and well its a touch screen with a very nice feel
- Also I have done a A.B with docs to go for both platforms and well
its a bit smoother on BB but very nice still
If 4.0 OS comes out with multi tasking and other email fixes it will be the
device to beat for sure

Had a BB for about 10 years. Tried a number of family & friend's different I-Phones and always liked them because of the speedy UI and great web browser. The S2 is a close second in UI, and love the new themes. If Apple ever adds a flash and perfects SECURE push e-mail it will be THE ONLY device. Or alternatively, if RIM solves the browser issue (I believe its more related to their NOC servers than software) and allows applications to run off of the SD cards Apple will go bankrupt.

So the big question is when will the iPhone land on VZW, and also (perhaps more importantly for this SPE roundrobin), why don't SPE account user ID's and log ins work across the variety of SPE message boards?

Personally I am a crackberry user, but have always been torn between the two, I love the interface of an iPhone because it is so hands on, but I like how crackberries don't need to be jailbroken/hacked to get the full use out of it (I only say this because I'm a student and am not rich LOL). A huge plus is the ability to jailbreak the iPhone. What I find especially handy is how certain GPS apps, do not require a data plan (e.g. Tom Tom). Hoping to win the 3GS so I can have the best of both worlds =), keep up the good work kev (Y)

I'm a 21 year old male who has used many BBerry models, the pearl, the curve, an 8830 and a bold. I am currently using a Samsung Eternity and I hate this phone, I miss the ease of use on the Blackberrys and the touch screen on this Samsung is a joke, I'm only using this phone until I can upgrade in May. I would get an iPhone 3GS like my parents and boyfriend but with everyone talking about the next iPhone coming out sometime around summer I'm trying to hold off. I love everything about the iPhone, even though the battery kind of lacks I don't mind having a charger with me at all times and one in the car. The apps on iPhone can't be touched by Blackberry because of the constantly changing OS, and all the different screen sizes/revs.
All phones come with their own sets of problems but it's what you are willing to deal with and what else the phone gives to make up for the problems it has.

I'm a BB user because it's mandated by my employer and since they pay the bill....
That being said, I'd switch in a second if I could. I don't do many things other than communicate and browse the web and the iPhone has all that built in. Blackberry virtually requires a third party browser for even basic functionality to work.
On the other hand, the pain in switching would come in that there's no physical keyboard. I'm too lazy to browse through even two screens to make a routine phone call. I want to press and hold a button and have it dial and I don't want a bunch of extra icons on my home screen for this functionality...yah, I'm that lazy.

I've had a Blackberry for about three years now. The convenience & functionality of it can't be beat! I've been curious lately about the IPhone, but haven't seen anything impressive enough for me to switch. Maybe one day a free IPhone will land in my lap & I can see what all the hype is about.

Having had a blackberry for the better part of 5 years I'm hesitant to switch to an iphone. After seeing all it can do compared to a blackberry I think it's an absolutely brilliant device. The one thing I don't think I'd be able to live without is the physical keyboard and push notifications. Everything else about the iphone is pretty much perfect. I hate using the browser on my bold as it's slow and just dumb, for lack of a better word. I'd love to have the opportunity to switch to an iphone.

I'm the lone BB user in a family of iPhone lovers. I love my BB but am constantly fighting the "shiny new toy" pull of the iPhone. Although the iPhone offers far more apps than are available for the BB, I hesitate to leave the reliability of push email, and the prospect of having a phone that I (1) cannot customize to the hilt (should I so desire) and/or (2) will have to jailbreak to do so scares me. Taking nothing away from my BB, I honestly think that the iPhone is a pretty neat device, and I would love the opportunity to get my hands on one to see how it holds up. If it came down to it, I think I could learn to live in both worlds.

Apps, apps, apps, galore
Maybe Blackberry and other smartphone companies will eventually catch up, but as far as now iPhoners have the frickin' huge app store. Don't get me wrong...us Blackberry-ites have some pickin's in Blackberry's app store, but it's easily dwarfed by the mall of apps for iUsers. However, when it comes down to it, I love everything on my Storm 2 over the iPhone, except the browser. Using Opera Mini 5, I usually avoid getting frustrated.

I am gonna have to disagree big time. I think on the basics on functionality, BB beat out the iPhone on everything except native browser, in which, yes, the iPhone's browser is much better. To meet par, BB users have other browsers (Opera Mini, Bolt, and hopefully Skyfire soon) to use.

And I agree with the statement that you'll never want to go back to non-app living once you get them. I switched to the Nexus One, and the selection is certainly not as good as on the iPhone, but it will improve I'm sure

I have been a long time bb user. I switched from ATT to VZW about 5 yrs ago because where I live north of ATL there is only edge were as VZW has great 3g coverage even in the most rural areas. The company I work for has recently moved to a zimba email server. While email works good on my bb, the calendar will not sync very well. People with iphones hav no problems syncing email and multiple calandars OTA. I have been tempted to switch but ATT scares me. They have not expanded 3g any closer to our area. When I have played with friend's iphones using the available edge network, the browser takes FOREVER to open up webpages. I would give the iphne a try if it came to VZW or if ATT realized there are people who don't live in large cities.

BB is a great secure communications device. The market has shifted big time though, people that carry BB's for business want to be able to use them as personal devices and that means multimedia. I have been carrying BB's since the two way pager days and I have a soft spot for them but I'm also a fan of cellphones in general and the technology. I would love to play with a 3GS and see if it could swoon me like it has so many. The UI is amazing but I dislike the lack of multitasking, just one major sticking point for me. I appreciate Apple for coming along and pushing all devices forward. Hopefully RIM gets on the ball and with the Torch acquisition a real browser will be offered.
Now give me a 3GS and let me play with one extensively please

Comments based on the 3G...I have not touched a GS yet.
- what you love! Fluidity of the UI
- what you hate! Non user replaceable battery and non expandable/removable memory, AT&T.
- what you wish was different. Wish it had a better display, removable batt. and expandable memory. Wish it were more comfortable to hold. Verizon!
- what a BlackBerry user would love about switching to the iPhone. The stability of the O.S.
- what a BlackBerry user wouldn't like about an iPhone. Inability to remove battery or memory, email service, lack of notification options.
- how many apps you have installed on your phone. A lot...lol!
- how many of those installed apps do you actually use on a regular basis. About 5.
- how you use the device... what do you spend most of your time doing on your iPhone when you have it in your hand. Twitter, music, YouTube.
- what's your favorite app? DynoLicious.
We decided the GS wasn't worth the upgrade. We actually probably will not buy another iPhone unless Verizon gets it (or it's free...lol!), and I will not replace my Storm with one unless it gets removable battery and a better display. It also needs better call quality, though i still haven't figured out if the problem is AT&T or the iPhone. There are a lot of things to like about it though, primarily in the areas of O.S. refinement and web surfing abilities. I don't care about the apps. Yeah, there are thousands, but many, and I mean MANY of them are just repeats of the same apps. And I don't like that it's all tied to iTunes...
All in all it's all about what you need and want. For my other half the iPhone is the Cat's Azz, and that's all that really matters...

ATLANTA (AP) - Emory University officials have announced the school has raised $1.69 billion during a seven-year fundraising effort.
University officials Monday said nearly 150,000 people contributed to Campaign Emory, a fundraiser which is set to bolster scholarship offerings, academic programs and support programs for students and staff, among other things.
University President James Wagner says the money will also help boost the school's endowment. Elaine Justice, a university spokeswoman, says $400 million will be used to create 351 new endowments with specific uses.
Wagner says the money will not impact proposed cuts to certain academic programs that were announced in September and are set to unfold over several years.
Despite launching Campaign Emory in a time of economic uncertainty, officials say the campaign was the school's most ambitious and successful fundraising effort.

It's that very idea (race pace vs flying lap) that makes Rossi a good tactician/formidable. He's generally more concerned with race pace, the tires' ability once worn, etc. That is his priority.

ABSTRACT— Recent advances in neuroscience are highlighting connections between emotion, social functioning, and decision making that have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the role of affect in education. In particular, the neurobiological evidence suggests that the aspects of cognition that we recruit most heavily in schools, namely learning, attention, memory, decision making, and social functioning, are both profoundly affected by and subsumed within the processes of emotion; we call these aspects emotional thought. Moreover, the evidence from brain-damaged patients suggests the hypothesis that emotion-related processes are required for skills and knowledge to be transferred from the structured school environment to real-world decision making because they provide an emotional rudder to guide judgment and action. Taken together, the evidence we present sketches an account of the neurobiological underpinnings of morality, creativity, and culture, all topics of critical importance to education. Our hope is that a better understanding of the neurobiological relationships between these constructs will provide a new basis for innovation in the design of learning environments.

Feb. 11, 2013
Opening statement:
"Obviously we made a hire today. Dennis Erickson will round out our staff and we will be at capacity. Dennis will come in with a wealth of knowledge and he brings experience to our program. We are excited to have him on board. He will be our co-offensive coordinator and work shoulder-to-shoulder with Brian Johnson. I have a lot of respect and admiration for Dennis. Throughout his career I've been fascinated with what he's done offensively way back when he was at Idaho and Wyoming in the early stages of his head-coaching career. I really believe he is going to add a great deal to our program, not only in terms of offensive scheme, but recruiting ties and overall experience in the game of football. He has been there and done that, to say the least. We are excited about this and he will be joining us a week from tomorrow, after President's Day.
Q - What sold you on Dennis, how long did the process take and how will his relationship with Brian Johnson work?
"What sold me on Dennis was just his track record. I've followed his career. Way back when he was at Idaho and Wyoming I was just getting into coaching and thinking about a coaching career. So I have tracked his progress since the early days. I had been talking to Dennis about this particular position for about four weeks. I approached him, I made the first contact, and asked if he would be interested in getting back in it. He was very excited at the notion. In the meantime, I interviewed several candidates for the position. I wanted to make sure we got the absolute best fit, and I think we did get the best fit for our needs right now."
Q - Is there any concern about continuity with Travis [Wilson] and others after adding another new offensive mind?
"I don't think so. I went down to see him in Arizona as a first step in the process, after a couple of phone conversations. I felt good enough about what he envisioned and the direction he wanted to go to bring him up here and put him in front of our staff. There was mutual agreement on both sides that we can continue in the direction we are headed, and we're not starting over. We were not very good on offense last year, but I think we are doing some good things and we need to build on that. And I think he will allow us to do that without having a wholesale systematic change."
"They will be co-coordinators, and Dennis will have the final say. But Brian is working with him. Any time you have co-coordinator positions you need one of the two to be the lead guy and make the final decisions. Brian is excited about it. It's an opportunity for all of us to learn from him. Selfishly, I'm going to benefit from this hire also. This guy has been successful at every level of coaching."
Q - Was there a plan to bring someone in to mentor Brian after last season?
"I don't know if that's the right word. We wanted someone to assist in what we are doing. A lot candidates we interviewed, if we decided to go in a different direction, it would not have been a co-coordinator position. I had not made a definitive decision to go that route, but when it was all said and done and we looked at the pool, it made a lot of sense to bring Dennis in."
Q - How did Brian handle the news, is he looking at this as a demotion?
"No, he's not. We had the conversation before the process started. I told him if we find the right guy, it may be a co-coordinator situation. I said I wasn't sure what direction we were going to go. We would go through the process, see what options were available and what kind of people we come across in the process. So there was no surprise. Brian knew all along we were going to get the best fit for our offense and our needs. Brian is a team guy. In no way, shape or form does this diminish my opinion of Brian or what I think his potential is, and his future is. This is just a way to make us better right now."
Q - Have you worked out a contract and is there a specific time frame you expect Coach Erickson to be here?
"We haven't worked out specific details yet. In this profession I don't know if you can make any hard and fast plans. He's 65 years old and we think he definitely has a few good years left, at least."
Q - Given Coach Erickson's recent struggles at ASU and with the 49ers, did that come up in the interview and was that a concern?
"I think he'll be just fine. We are hiring him to make our offense more productive. That's his primary objective here and the reason we brought him in. He has had great success at Miami, he won two national championships, and he was a head coach in the NFL. He's a three-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year. He's done plenty of good things in his career. You are hard pressed to look at a guy who has coached that long and to have every year be up, that rarely happens."
Q - What would you say Dennis' offensive area of expertise is?
"The overall scheme in the spread attack. He was running the one-back spread, a little different than it's being run today, but he was doing it way back. That was something that fascinated me, everywhere he went he had very prolific offenses based out of the spread philosophy. The key run game elements and things have evolved since then but that's what intrigues us most."
Q - When you first called, how excited was Dennis to get back into coaching?
"Very much so. From the onset when I put the question to him he paused and got very excited. He said `That's something I would definitely consider.' So that was our first conversation and as we continued our talks it was very apparent that he was really excited about getting back into it."
Q - Can you talk about what his recruiting responsibilities will be?
"We haven't ironed that out exactly but most likely it will be similar to what coach Chow had. There might be a small area that he will work in, but he will mostly be a recruiter coast-to-coast who you can put in homes, particularly in front of quarterbacks. He can have his biggest impact there, rather than give him a geographical area and say go forth. He is very connected back in Miami and really coast-to-coast. He has recruited a ton of players and coached guys like Ray Lewis, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Steven Jackson at Oregon State. He has a wealth of contacts and a great network that we can draw from."
Q - How much did his experience in the Pac-12 factor in?
"That played into it as well, much like when we hired Norm [Chow]. One of reasons I brought him in was his familiarity with the league. He's been at three different places in the conference and done a great job and was Coach of the Year at each stop, so that was certainly part of the equation."
Q - How aware is he of the talent you have on the roster, especially at the QB position?
"He knows a lot. What was amazing was when I went down there talk to him he had done his homework and knew far more than I expected from a guy in that position who was retired and been out of football. That was one of the things that was really positive to me, not just how much knew about our players, but our staff and our scheme in general. When he came in to the meeting with our staff and other assistant coaches he immediately had some great ideas on what needed to happen and what we could do to become better."
Q - Where does Aaron Roderick fit in at this point?
"Aaron is still our passing game coordinator and he is vital part of our offensive staff. It's like having another coordinator's mind in the room. He is a smart guy and we are fortunate that he is still with us."
Q - Have you done position breakdowns with the other coaches?
This is going to be as un-invasive as possible. We think Dennis might take on a role kind of like Norm did and coach the tight ends, but also be able to roam around and have someone else who can assist with tight ends when he needs to break free and oversee other areas. That's the initial thought but there are still a lot of details to hash out. Brian will still coach quarterbacks, Jay Hill most likely will stay with the running backs, Aaron will definitely stay with the wide receivers. So I don't think there will be much disruption. I can't say that definitively but we hope it will be a smooth transition and everyone can stay put."
Q - Does Dennis have aspirations to be a head coach again?
"He didn't mention those aspirations to me. He said he was excited to come in and run the offense and he said it seemed like a good fit for him at this point in his career."
Q - Is Coach Erickson going to run that high-tempo offense that's so popular in the Pac-12 right now?
"That will be part of it. We talked about that, as much as you can accomplish in a four-hour interview. There's a lot of details that we need to continue to talk about and make decisions on. That will be a part of what we do, being able to change tempo. I'm not going to tell you we will be going at the light speed that Oregon goes at on every snap but we will have the ability to change tempo. That was something we were thinking about prior to Coach Erickson coming on board."
Q - Did you offer an assistant coach position to anyone else?
"No, he was the only offer. As I went through the process he was the only guy I offered and fortunately he accepted for us."
Q - Can you talk about the personnel you have and how it might fit into what Erickson wants to do?
"We think we have personnel we have been recruiting toward this for the last two recruiting classes, so I think it will fit very well. What you saw Arizona State doing in Coach Erickson's last few seasons there, there will be a lot of similarities with what they did and what we will be doing. There's a lot of good things they did very well that we can implement here so I think it will be a good transition."

John Singleton Copley (painter)
American, 1738 - 1815
The Copley Family, 1776/1777
oil on canvas
overall: 184.1 x 229.2 cm (72 1/2 x 90 1/4 in.) framed: 226.1 x 271.8 x 13.9 cm (89 x 107 x 5 1/2 in.)
Andrew W. Mellon Fund
On View
Object 3 of 12
Having moved separately from colonial Boston to London, the recently reunited Copleys posed for this large group likeness, the artist's first portrait to include more than two sitters. The thirty-seven-year-old painter holds sketches and looks out as though to introduce his family.
Flanked by three daughters, Copley's wife, Susanna, hugs their son. (In eighteenth-century custom, toddlers wore long dresses regardless of their sex.) The generations are completed by Copley's elderly father-in-law, Richard Clarke, a Tory merchant whose investments had been thrown overboard at the Boston Tea Party. The setting is fanciful; no carpeted room ever merged so ambiguously into a forest. The expensive furnishings, though, imply sophistication, while the idyllic landscape suggests simplicity.
Exhibited to wide acclaim at the Royal Academy in 1777, the ambitious picture demonstrated Copley's recent studies on the continent, where he had learned to integrate a large number of figures into a coherent design. For example, he placed the babies high up on a sofa and in a lap so that their tiny heads would be on a level with their standing, older siblings.

At the end of the year 11 out of 12 games will have been on televised.
We have complained about this every year until now. Kudos to the Big 12 for improving the TV package. It's not great yet but it's much better than the previous years.
Previous two years TV games:
2007 - 6/12 on TV

Philippine Surfing Dream Destinations
Among the list of surf spots in the Philippines, there are some that we really really want to surf. These spots have amazing waves and even amazing scenery. Paradise on earth, paradise for surfers. Oh yes, this is the stuff we think of when we are slumped in our seats in front of the computer. So while the surf is being flat as of the moment, we at LokalSoul has compiled a short list of dream surfing destinations we'd rather be in, and it goes like this:
TOP 5 Philippine Surfing Dream Destinations
1. ABCD Beach, Calicoan Island, Eastern SAMAR
What we have here is island surfing. I mean how can you not dream of it? It's island surfing. Dreams are made of island surfing. And the breaks. Left and right long rides some even barelling. Awesome video too with familiar surfers from different hometowns of Philippine surfing doing turns and cutbacks. It's also about the place. Calicoan is such a beautiful island worth visiting even without the surf. This place is really for the soul. And staying at the Calicoan Surf Camp ain't a bad idea now. The place is a comforting nook that offers both luxury and tranquility. But between you and me really, I find it a bit expensive. But hey, we are dreaming right? So that's where we're gonna stay! A 2-hr massage here please.
2. Cloud 9 Reef Break, Siargao Island, Surigao Del Norte
Not only a dream destination for local surfers, it is a dream destination for ALL surfers around the world. The video tells it all. Billabong holds a yearly competition and proudly to say Siargao local Edito "Peso" Alcala won the event in 2008! Will he do it again this year? Lokalsoul will be there this September and hopefully the Peso will triumph again. Lokals represent!
3. Majestics Reef Break at Puraran Bay, Baras, Catanduanes
This surf spot so close to Virac, the capital city of Catanduanes is called the Majestics. It's said that it was named so after a visiting surfer saw Puraran bay from afar with an epic swell and all he can say was, "majestic". Now, if a surf spot is called "majestic" then you know you have to go surf it OR… sit back and let the pros do it for you. See the video above doesn't even give justice to the things I've read about this place. Now cream sand and rock formation may adorn this paradise, but the waves here are the heaviest waves the Philippines can produce. A wipeout would mean a hell of a time in the washing machine, being dragged onto the sharp reef waiting to slice and dice human skin. Ouchie. Probably not a dream I would like to be having. But shredding aside, this is a top rarely surfed destination.
4. the Spot infront of Kapuluan Vista Resort, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte
The first 40 seconds of this video just makes me say WHOA. And truth be told I have seen this video countless times and it still has the same effect on me. This should be #1 on this list actually. Taken in the front yard of the very zen Kapuluan Vista Resort, we can see gorgeous 3ft – 5ft waves breaking left and right which actually is perfect for longboarding. And man that Mike dude sure can hang loose. I'm not sure if this is always what's it like out there but by all means, Pagudpud has great friendly happy waves that is in great contrast with #3's your life is 50/50 out here kinda waves. Definitely a dream destination to satisfy the soul surfer.
5. Doot Poktoy, Lanuza, Surigao Del Sur
Lanuza is the other path taken when in Surigao. Like it's neighbor Cloud 9 in Siargao, Doot Poktoy also boasts world class surfing. According to the Surf Lanuza, "if a strong typhoon passes close enough, surf can reach almost 15 feet, with 9, 11 or 14 waves per set and up to twice as many waves per hour as a long groundswell like affecting Indonesia and Hawaii." 15 feet man. That is high. No wonder advanced surfers flock to Lanuza because simply, this is where the big boys play.
There you go, the current top 5 surfing dream destinations in country. I say "current" because we'll never know that perhaps somewhere right now someone has just discovered the next Doot Poktoy. Another glorious entry we could include to the list of Philippine surf spots. As surfing in the Philippines grows bigger by the day more and more locations will be traversed, and more and more destinations will be dreamt of by lokal souls. So I guess all we have to do is to keep on surfing and once in a while try to wander off the beaten path. Who knows, what we may find is something more that we could ever dream of.

The Commission on Human Rights,
Gravely concerned at the large number of situations where internal violence causes extensive suffering and breaches of the principles of humanity and undermines the protection of human rights,
Conscious of the desirability of continuing to study the principles of humanity governing the behaviour of all persons, groups and public authorities,
Emphasizing, in this regard, the need to identify and implement measures to prevent violations and abuses of human rights and fundamental freedoms, in particular the right to life and integrity of the individual,
Recalling its resolution 1996/26 of 19 April 1996 and welcoming the report of the International Workshop on Minimum Humanitarian Standards organized in Cape Town, South Africa, from 27 to 29 September 1996 (E/CN.4/1997/77/Add.1, annex) by the Governments of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and South Africa, in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross, to address the issue of minimum humanitarian standards applicable in all situations,
1. Recognizes the desirability of identifying principles applicable to all situations in a manner consistent with international law, including the Charter of the United Nations;
2. Also recognizes in this regard the vital importance of the existence in each country of appropriate national legislation for dealing with such situations in a manner consistent with the rule of law;
3. Invites all States to consider reviewing their national legislation relevant to situations of public emergency with a view to ensuring that it meets the requirements of the rule of law and that it does not involve discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, sex, language, religion or social origin;
4.

Since I posted another Hits holographic polish on Monday I figured why not post another? I've had this swatch in my files for a while (hence the different nail shape) and I don't know why I haven't shared it before now! This is Hits Hestia, a soft pastel lavender holographic that is delicate and feminine. This is two coats of Hestia with base coat.
I also posted another video yesterday, so if you're interested be sure to check videos out every Tuesday and Thursday on my youtube channel! The link is in the sidebar :)
I'm going to have a super fun indie polish swatch on Friday, so if you're a fan of squishy jelly glitter polishes remember to visit. It's a brand I've never featured before on my blog so I'm excited! As always, thanks for reading!

As a student living in New York City and having the opportunity to play baseball in Chicago, I had to settle the debate of which city has the best pizza. These two cities have had an ongoing debate about who possesses the better tasting pizza. New York City's pizza is famous for its large, wide, and thin shape. On the other hand, Chicago's pizza is renowned for its tall crust, which encloses the large amounts of cheese and chunky tomato sauce. The two eateries that I am comparing are Denino's Pizzeria & Tavern of Staten Island (arguably the best pizza in all of the five boroughs and conveniently located a few miles from Wagner's campus) and Lou Malnati's Pizzeria (home of the best deep dish pizza in the world). Fortunately for me, I did not have to critique these two places by myself. My girlfriend Katie accompanied me to both of these restaurants, so you will be receiving the opinion of both of us.
Let's start with Denino's, whose pizza is representing New York City. The pizza had a thicker and softer crust than most people would associate with New York style pizza. The sauce was very tasty and the cheese was your typical pizza pie cheese you would expect when ordering a pizza. Overall, the pizza was excellent and it was best eaten with the famous New York style fold. Now we will move on to Lou Malnati's of Chicago. Lou Malnati's was started by the son of Rudy Malnati, the man credited with developing the recipe for Chicago style deep dish pizza. This pizza had the traditional Chicago deep-dish look, with a high thin crust raised up on the sides. The tomato sauce was made with whole chunks of tomatoes and on top were thick slices of mozzarella cheese. Lou Malnati's pizza was outstanding and very filling, and the best way to attack the large slices was with a fork and knife.
Well now that we both have experienced the two types of pizza, it is time to reveal our results of who we think has the better tasting pizza. Katie's decision was the deep dish pizza of Chicago, arguing that there was more flavor to the pizza because of the chunky tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella used in the making process by Lou Malnati's. Sorry to say, but the decision was not unanimous. I sided with the New York style pizza of Denino's because of the thin crust style, the delicious taste, and the fact that it is easier to eat pizza by folding it. There you have it, a split decision. The debate will remain ongoing and the only way to determine for yourself which city has the best pizza is to go out and try them firsthand. If you do so, I could not recommend two better places than Denino's Pizzeria & Tavern and Lou Malnati's Pizzeria.

The American Motorcyclist Association supports the National Forest System Trails Stewardship Act, which would allow more volunteer efforts to assist the U.S. Forest Service in maintaining its 157,000 miles of trails.
The American Motorcyclist Association is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2015 AMA Awards. The six motorcyclists selected by the AMA Board of Directors have made outstanding contributions to the motorcycling community and their efforts support the AMA mission to promote the motorcycle lifestyle and protect the future of motorcycling.
AMA News & Notes is a monthly publication compiled and edited by the American Motorcyclist Association Government Relations Department. Designed to inform motorcyclists of rights-related issues and events in the United States and around the world, AMA News & Notes welcomes your input.
A bipartisan bill introduced today by U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) would prohibit the use of federal funds in establishing motorcycle-only checkpoints.
The U.S. Forest Service has investigated four incidents in which vandals endangered the lives of motorcyclists and all-terrain vehicle riders by burying spikes along trails used by off-highway vehicles and others, the American Motorcyclist Association reports.
As a result of urgings from the AMA, the Community Preventive Services Task Force of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control is reopening its meetings to the public.
The AMA repeatedly objected to the CDC's expanded focus on motorcycle safety and urged the agency to allow expert federal agencies, such as the Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, to address roadway and vehicle safety issues.
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 and the so-called CRomnibus spending bill, passed by both chambers of Congress last week, include provisions beneficial to riders of off-highway motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles, but some new Wilderness designations may infringe on access to public lands.
The American Motorcyclist Association announced today the 2014 AMA Motorcyclists of the Year: AMA members Bryan Carroll and James Walker. Carroll and Walker directed and produced "Why We Ride," a documentary that promotes modern motorcycling across every discipline and is spearheading a new era of creativity in filmmaking about the sport.
Nothing could be more fun than holiday shopping for the motorcyclists on your gift list, and an American Motorcyclist Association membership can be the best gift of all.
American Motorcyclist Association members, clubs and promoters can now take advantage of exclusive money-saving benefits from leading timing-and-scoring company, MYLAPS Sports Timing.
The American Motorcyclist Association is announcing the nominees for 2014 year-end awards, which recognie individuals and organizations that excelled in AMA competition and recreational activity during the previous 12 months.
Four federal agencies have announced dates during the coming year when the public can enter designated areas without paying a fee.
The AMA encourages you to provide your comments to the Consumer Products Safety Commissions (CPSC) about the prevalence of passengers on ATV's and the feasibility of preventing the carrying of passengers on ATV's.
Congratulations on surviving another election cycle and thank you for voting. An additional "thank you" to all who volunteered on a motorcycle-friendly candidate's campaign. Your efforts to support those who support motorcyclists are critical to advancing rider interests in public policy.
The American Motorcyclist Association offers a salute of respect and gratitude this Veterans Day to the legions of U.S. veterans who have served this country in times of peace, in times of strife and in times of war.
The American Motorcyclist Association is pleased to announce recent additions to its board of directors.
This election is one of the most important in many years for the future of motorcycling. It is critical for motorcyclists to take advantage of the American Motorcyclist Association's online election tools to educate themselves about their candidates, and then Vote Like A Motorcyclist.
With Election Day less than a week away, the American Motorcyclist Association is urging everyone to "Vote Like A Motorcyclist" this year.
The American Motorcyclist Association and the U.S. Forest Service's Wayne National Forest have jointly produced two YouTube videos promoting safe and responsible off-road motorcycling.
Riding a motorcycle between two lanes of stopped or slowly moving traffic -- a tactic known as lane splitting -- is a relatively safe maneuver when both the motorcyclist and nearby drivers know the law and adhere to "safe and prudent" practices, according to two California studies released this week.

Jill McCallum, president of Pacific Rim Aerospace Corp., said South Carolina needs to be patient and realize that aerospace is "a big pie." (Photo/Kim McManus)
By Ashley Barker
Published August 28, 2014
One of the often unnoticed benefits of the statewide surge in the aerospace sector has been the impact it's had on universities, according to George Patrick, deputy secretary of the S.C. Department of Commerce and member of the S.C. aerospace task force.
During a Charleston Regional Business Journal Power Breakfast this morning, Patrick emphasized that workforce development is key in nearly every conversation he has about the aerospace industry.
"Aerospace, and the focus on aerospace, has brought our university systems to their knees to some degree and are forcing what has traditionally been rivals — both on the football field and in the lobbying-for-dollars business ... to take a much more cooperative approach to how we work together as a state to enhance our educational system," Patrick said.
Patrick and the other panelists — retired Navy Capt. Marty Keaney, executive director of the McNair Center for Aerospace Research and Innovation at the University of South Carolina, and Jill McCallum, president of Pacific Rim Aerospace Corp. — discussed how the arrival of the Boeing Co. in North Charleston has impacted the local economy and positioned South Carolina as a leader in advanced manufacturing.
"I'm very pleased that there is the momentum in this direction to get this right. I believe there is a need for that pressure to be applied across the place, about working with Clemson and other institutions around the state."
— Marty Keaney, retired Navy captain and executive director of the McNair Center for Aerospace Research and Innovation at USC
Keaney said a high level of cooperation has always existed among South Carolina's universities when it comes to research.
"They've always worked well together," he said. "If you needed somebody from Clemson, or the College of Charleston or MUSC [the Medical University of South Carolina] to be competitive for a grant, they went out and did it."
Keaney said in recent years, institutions have started collaborating more on putting together proposals, and concepts are becoming easier.
McCallum's company, which is headquartered in Washington state, recently opened an office on East Bay Street. She started her career at Boeing in 1985 before leaving to work for smaller engineering firms and forming Pacific Rim Aerospace. McCallum said South Carolina needs to be patient and realize that aerospace is "a big pie."
She said Boeing has generational roots in the workforce and economy of the Pacific Northwest and, in time, will have roots in South Carolina too.
"It takes a long time, and it will continue to take a long time," McCallum said. "There's often a lot of discussion on workforce and, of course, being new here, everyone is coming out of the woodwork. I have more resumes on my desk than I know what to do with."
She said in Seattle, Boeing became a mindset, and it's all about getting people passionate about aerospace from an early age — like the 3-year-old who knew what contrails were from seeing planes fly overhead. She recalled the first time she saw a 787 Dreamliner fly over her house. Her entire family went outside to see the plane, noting that its engines sound different from other airliners.
"It becomes part of the lifestyle," she said. "That's part of the patience while the community is growing used to this. Parents and children and grandparents are having discussions about seeing the Boeing airplane take off, and the 787 flying right over our house."

Transgender people contest NYC birth-record rule
NEW YORK Joann Prinzivalli has gone through a lot to be a woman, and she wants her birth certificate to show it.
Born Paul Prinzivalli Jr., she says she knew her true identity was female by the time she was 4 and broached the subject with a mental-health adviser as a teenager. But it was decades before she bucked family expectations and social pressures, changed her name and underwent electrolysis and hormone treatment to make a change that cost Prinzivalli her spouse, family, home and job.
About 10 years later, she's still a man in one important context: on her birth certificate. She's been unable to change the gender listed on the document because of city rules that she and some other transgender people call discriminatory, intrusive and out of step with recent moves by the federal government and some states to make it easier for transgender people to change ID documents.
"Knowing that it was a mistake in the first place, and having that fixed, is pretty important to me," the 57-year-old title insurance lawyer said Monday as she sued the city. Two other transgender people have filed similar suits in recent days, and a third plans to do so.
They are contesting a city Health Department practice of requiring people to undergo genital surgery and a post-surgery psychiatric evaluation before changing the gender on their birth certificates, according to the lawsuits. Many transgender people can't have that surgery for medical or financial reasons, and having hormone or other treatment to change gender should be enough, the plaintiffs say.
City lawyers say officials are trying to make sure there are checks on changing an important identity document used for citizenship, Social Security and passport purposes.
"Although we understand the concerns ... the Board of Health should not change its requirements without assurance that the amended certificate cannot be misused," said Gabriel Taussig, a city lawyer. He was responding to a lawsuit filed Monday by Louis Birney, a 70-year-old transgender man. Birney had genital surgery but objects to the requirements for detailed documentation and a psychiatric report, calling them violations of medical privacy.
Updating ID documents has long been an issue for transgender people. Varying local, state and federal rules sometimes mean a person's sex changes from birth certificate to driver's license to passport. The patchwork result can cause a host of problems in a security-conscious time when IDs are increasingly demanded and scrutinized, whether for boarding a plane or getting a job.
Transgender-rights advocates have encouraged agencies to abandon surgical requirements for changing identity documents, with some results.
Washington state requires only a doctor's or psychologist's note attesting to "appropriate clinical treatment" to change the gender on a driver's license. Illinois agreed in 2009 to develop new standards for how much surgery is required before a person is eligible to switch the gender of a birth certificate. And the U.S. State Department announced last year that transgender travelers no longer will need surgery - just a doctor's certification of appropriate treatment - to declare a new gender on a passport.
"Agencies are recognizing that the appropriate standard is that a physician who is actually treating you says you have transitioned," said Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. The organization isn't involved in the recent New York City lawsuits.
In 2006, city health officials considered dropping their requirement for sex-change surgery before switching a birth certificate's gender. They ultimately decided not to; the health commissioner said the issue needed further study. The agency referred questions Tuesday about the issue to city lawyers.
The state Health Department, which sets birth-certificate policies for areas outside the city, also requires detailed reports of genital surgeries and a psychological report to change the gender on the documents.

The State Auditor's Office says it is turning over results of an investigation into a Kinston daycare center to the SBI & the District Attorney's Office.
In a report released Thursday morning, the state auditor says the Farmer-N-Dell Nursery "admitted falsifying documents" so it could receive state funding for which it did not qualify.
The daycare center was receiving More at Four and Smart Start funding through the Partnership for Children of Lenoir and Greene Counties. From 2002 to last year it received $757,910 in More at Four funds and $443,414 in Smart Start funds.
The Auditor's Office says Farmer-N-Dell falsified teacher W-2 forms to show higher salaries than those actually paid as well as falsifying reports to the North Carolina Employment Security Commission. The report says the daycare presented a false credential letter to the Partnership for Children, supposedly issued by the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services. It also says the daycare did not conduct monthly fire drills which are required by state law and falsified fire drill reports.
To view the audit report, click the link at the top of the story
The report also questions why the daycare owner, who also was board secretary to the Partnership for Children, was allowed to co-sign checks made payable to her own center.
The State Auditor recommends Farmer-N-Dell pay back more than $190,000 it received when it did not meet state standards, that the Division of Child Development revoke its license, and that the Partnership for Children should verify credentials for all More at Four staff.
In a written response to the auditor's report, a lawyer for Farmer-N-Dell says the daycare had repaid the money in question and had voluntarily ceased participating in the More at Four program last July.

Can anybody tell me how to call a method on a different controller from within an action method? I don't want to redirect. I want to call a method on a different controller that returns a string and use the response within my action method.
Sounds in my ears like you should refactor your application, and extract the functionality that generates the string out to a new seperate class (or reuse an existing class, if you have one that fits) and let both controllers use that class.
You can use the following approach to invoke a method on the other controller:
This worked for me in ASP.NET MVC5. Hope that it will work for you as well.
Could you just instantiate the controller in your action method and call the other method you need?
You can achieve this via the
In a view, you would do it like this:
However it's not straightforward to obtain an instance of
This works on MVC 3. You might need to remove the
I haven't used Castle Windsor IoC, but the theory is that you should be able to create a custom Controller factory class, and then instruct the MVC framework to use this custom controller factory, by registering it in the Global.asax.css file, in the Application_Start event:
[See Pro Asp.Net MVC 2 Framework, Steven Sanderson, Apress, pages 64 - 66]
That way, you can instantiate your controllers from anywhere in your code.
The notion of NOT calling the actions of another controller from the "current" controller, or from other code is quite wrong. Controllers are just classes. They only become "Controllers" when invoked in a special way by the MVC Framework.
Therefore, the right and wrong of this boils down to WHY are you doing this, not WHETHER you should or not.
If you are just using a controller as a class, then this is fine. If you are trying to use this to send a response to the user, then you should use a RedirectToAction as suggested above.
There are a number of reasons to use a controller as a class rather than as a Controller. For example, when testing your controller. Therefore, treating your controllers from as a class is necessary as opposed to wrong.
A non testing scenario example of using a Controller as a Class:
I am writing a mini framework that leverages the MVC framework's templating capabilities to produce the HTML for HTML emails, something that all web apps need to do, for one reason or another (eg, order confirmation emails).
Very roughly, you instantiate your MailManagerController (for simplicity, presume you are not using IoC) in your NormalController's action (that needs to send an email) and then do:
Where RenderToString is an extension method on ViewResultBase that renders the output of an Action (that returns a ViewResultBase object) to a string, and Postman is a static class that deals with sending emails once you have the text.
The beauty of this technique is that you can use the MVC framework to produce templated emails, because the OrderConfirmation Action will have an associated view which is nothing if not an html template for your the email you are going to send.
Looks like you're trying to do something the controllers aren't designed for. Design your required method as an public method in some class and invoke from both controller actions.
I was looking for the same thing, but seriously people, why the need to write such complicated answers.
Here's a post that will answer it very simply: Using Html.ActionLink to call action on different controller
Basically you just have to use this overload of the actionlink:
So you will have:
If you don't have any routeValues (which are the Inputs for the Action) or htmlAttributes, you have to set them as null.
Here's an example call:
