I was the psycho ex a few years back. My boyfriend broke up with me on the grounds that his parents would never accept our union. I found out through mutual friends that he moved a new, much younger girlfriend into his home within a week of our breakup.
I contacted him and whined that I'd left a lot of personal stuff there, which was true. I whined so much that he agreed to let me into his home just one last time to pick it all up, on the grounds that I was in and out of there within half an hour, and that I'd never let his new girlfriend find out that I'd been there.
As soon as I got in, I moved into action. In the bedroom, I put empty condom packets under his blanket. In the bathroom, I put a pair of my earrings behind a jar of her cold cream. And in the kitchen, I left a hair clip next to a sponge.
A couple of weeks later, I heard on the grapevine that he'd been dumped, after a blazing row. I never found out the reason why, though.
Hell hath no fury!

My first psycho exGF:
-Burned or cut up most of the presents I bought for me. The usual pattern being that we would have an argument a week or two after her birthday, etc. and her response was to destroy the things I gave her.
-Destroyed baby pictures of me my parents sent.
-Burned autographed books I had of my favorite authors.
-Tried to stab me with scissors
-Swing bottles at my head a few times.
After we broke up and I left for the navy, she got deep into drugs and left her 3-year old child alone for days at a time. He accidentally started a fire that nearly burned down her dad's house. Child Protective Services took the kid away for awhile and she got him back.
When her son was 16, he ran away and went into foster care. He was adopted by a wonderful man. The child requested a no contact order towards his mother. I visited him last year and rekindled an old relationship. He's really an amazing young man who deserves better than her.
She inherited $100K from her father (sale of house). She bought a $25K car for her new BF. They had an argument and she went outisde and torched the car.
For twenty years she spoke of starting a clothing boutique. Never did.
My last contact with her via email had her claiming that I was a danger to her son and weak for leaving the relationship.
I skipped a few details, such as her suicide attempt, Prozac, etc.

Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
CDC: Hep B Vaccine Needed for Diabetic AdultsPosted: Monday, January 02, 2012
Diabetic adults should be vaccinated against hepatitis B virus (HBV) as soon as possible after the diabetes diagnosis is made.
No vaccination is necessary in patients who have been fully immunized at any point in the past, according to the recommendations.
ACIP first started looking into the risk of HBV infection in diabetic adults after a series of outbreaks in long-term-care facilities starting in the mid-1990s. Some of the affected individuals included diabetic patients receiving assisted blood glucose monitoring.
At one of ACIP's regular meetings in October, committee members saw data from the Emerging Infections Program, which showed that patients ages 23 to 59 with diabetes were about twice as likely to develop acute hepatitis B compared with individuals without diabetes (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.6 to 2.8).
For older adults, the odds ratio was 1.5 (95% CI 0.9 to 2.5).
ACIP adopted the recommendations for vaccination after reviewing data on HBV infection-related morbidity and mortality, available vaccines, age at diagnosis of diabetes, cost-effectiveness, and the effectiveness of implementing infection prevention and control measures.
The authors urged efforts to increase adherence to recommended infection control practices.
"Lapses in infection control during assisted blood glucose monitoring that have led to HBV transmission include multi-patient use of finger-stick devices designed for single-patient use and inadequate disinfection and cleaning of blood glucose monitors between patients," they wrote.
"Breaches have been documented in various settings, including long-term-care facilities, hospitals, community health centers, ambulatory surgical centers, private offices, homes, and health fairs."
In the same issue of MMWR, ACIP's recommendations for vaccination of boys and young men against human papillomavirus (HPV) -- adopted in October -- became official.
The recommendations included the following:
Aside from direct benefits, including protection against genital warts and anal cancer, vaccination of males is expected to lessen the burden of HPV in females, who are already advised to get routinely vaccinated at ages 11 and 12.
The recommendations regarding male vaccination replace the 2009 incarnation, which advised against routine use in boys but stated that the vaccine could be given to males ages 9 to 26 to reduce the risk of genital warts.

Roy >Cellular Phone Companies > A-1 Discount Satellites
5680 South 1900 West, Roy, UT | Directions 8406741.160260 -112.025881
I've never been to a satellite store that sells both dish and directv. I called all over to get the best prices for both and see which one would be the best value for me. I found that most places would give me the bait price for their service and I had to ask is that all the "hidden fees"? Just to find that there were fees that they hadn't explained to me. When I talked to the guys at A-1 Discount satellite they laid out all the "hidden fees" and exactly what my bill would be. They were not pushy and they made it super easy. I've had the service for 7 months now and all was exactly as they explained. All I have to say is that I wish that I would have called them first instead of last. I would have saved a lot of time and head ache.
I have had both DISH and DIRECTV, and many other companies and sub-contractors come over and work on my home. But these guys were the best. I highly recommend them, they are the best. They have saved me over $500 several times and you can't go wrong with them. Call them and you will see what I mean. Thanks
Best Service In A Long time – I was extremely impressed with them. They sell both Dish and direct and compared them both for me. The owner helped me several times. I have a hard time remembering things but he was was patient. Being older and all this new techie stuff is confusing but I feel like they helped me make a great choice. Thank you.
Great Service – Had a great experience with A1. The installer was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. The install was done professionally and the satellite installed where I can scrape off snow if necessary. I would recommend them anytime!
Best Experience Yet! – We have had a lot of services and repairs done to our house over the last few months and this company was by far the most professional. The installer was prompt, clean-cut, respectful and very knowledgeable. We got exactly what we wanted and everything was explained to us up front - no hidden surprises. This company truly values its customers. I would highly recommend them to anyone! GO A1!!!!
Better than A1 steak sause – Great work A-1. Had DTV and had problems for years. DTV installed on peak and the cables looked unsightly. A-1 moved the dish for free and now I can reach it with a broom when snow get in it. Very professional, Highly Recommended. They did my mom's house yesterday and the same great customer service. I'll keep referring people. Rob
Don't go there if you want good service!!! – The customer service was very poor. The first two weeks after installataion, the reception was poor on my new 52" tv, dish said there would be no charge to get it right. I was told by A1 that it would cost $1000 to get the right equipment. After 7 months, two remotes and three receivers, I was still losing transmission about every 3 weeks and my new tv was blurry. I was tired of spending hours on the phone to 'fix' it and was told by a dish network that there would be no fees for cancelling my contract. dish actually reimbursed me for the service I had not rec'd. A1 called with a nasty call and turned me over to collections for $400. They have not sent a bill or contacted me and refuse to budge. I went to directv and my reception is excellent. Don't go through A1 for any installation or sales!!!!!!
Dishonest company and worst customer service – This company is definitely dishonest. They defraud their parent company, DISH NETWORK, and do not take care of customers after the purchase is completed. I called them to replace my remote control and they told me that it would cost $40.00, or i could get an entire system for free by cancelling my current account and signing up as a "new customer" by adding "basement apt" to my address. Then, when i had the system installed, the installer forgot to set the remote up properly, so it wouldn't change the channels on the second tv. I called to have the installer return, only ten minutes after he left, and i was told that he would not. I then went to the store to ask for the problem to be resolved, and the owner of the store told me to leave because he had already told me that the installer wouldn't return. Luckily the installer called me two hours later, and risking his job, he stopped by and fixed the problem...admitting that the mistake was in fact his fault. Do not do business with this company. Look for other Dish Network retailers. I've also noticed that the favorable oppinion posted here is the same posted elsewhere on the net, which was obviously posted by somoene who works for the company.
Bad customer service – Told us that anytime we had a problem to call them and not directv. Well, the first time we called them, they told us they cannot do anything that we had to go directly to directv. Thanks so much for the "help".
True satellite experts, the install was done just the way I wanted. Thanks A-1 – Very friendly and informative. Best of all they they quoted me exactly what my bill was. Very professional and clean. I am very happy with the whole process, sales to install. Thanks A-1

Lets say he signs the retirement paperwork and retires. 2 years from now he decides to come out of retirement...would he still be bound by this contract or would he be a UFA?
Ilya Kovalchuk of New Jersey Devils announces he will retire - ESPN New York
Ok. So yeah. I am a little heartbroke over this. I thought he was a true devil. Not sure Lou wasn't whispering in his ear...Lou has gotta be happy long term picture. He was able to recapture control of the team from OnHisWayOut Vanderbeek. It's gonna sting, particularly because i thought they did some good things reloading this team, but there are still players out there. We shall see. It's disappointing. At least I wasn't at Comicon, like when Doc announced his retirementThe move is more surprising because Kovalchuk signed a $100 million, 15-year contract in 2010. The Devils can void the remaining $77 million on the contract when Kovalchuk's retirement becomes official.
I have no ****ing idea
OK, homeboy has to have plans on playing in the KHL, because there's no way he'd leave with a guaranteed $55 million over the next five years. EACH of the next five years on his contract is over $10m. You don't just walk away from that without a damn good reason.

Chainsaw Review Simon Bowes takes his annual look at the chainsaw market It is a difficult year for all of us in the harvesting part of the forest industry and so I am making a bit of a break from the usual review this time around. I am going to talk about the saws I use and why I use the particular models I do. For those of you who are perhaps new to my writing, I started life as a novice cutter in Yorkshire in the early 1980s just as PPE was being introduced. I began on a clearfell site, felling and converting Lodgepole pine for a local contractor who was one of the first to use a forwarder. Harvesters were a thing of the future and it was a while before we saw one in our local FC district. I used Husqvarna saws almost exclusively, as did everyone, and the 254 or the 266 were the only real saws to choose from. I quickly branched out and formed my own little work gang doing thinnings with a skidder on local estates and for the FC until the great storm of 1987 saw me leave the area for the riches on offer in Kent. The money earned in the windblow set me on the road to eventually having a fairly big skidding operation that varied in size with the strength of the market and the availability of work, until eventually certification and mechanisation sounded the end for the large hand felling gang; and so I had to bite the bullet and buy a harvester and a forwarder to remain competitive.
How to Train Like the Kenyans Since the Kenyans dominate our sport like no country has ever dominated any sport, what can we learn from them? While it's true that a big reason they do so is their ability to train harder (which we'll address), let's first talk about things they do that allow them to reach their potential more than most – things that are practical and applicable for us in Kansas City. Workout Recovery 1) They prepare the body better for every workout with an extra slow warm up for the first 5-10 minutes: 5 minutes a mile or slower than 5K pace > the slower you begin each run, the more productive each run will become. 2) They help the body to recover better from every workout with an extra slow cool down for the last 5-10 minutes: 5 minutes a mile or slower than 5K pace > the less you stretch & do self massage (i.e. foam roll), the more you should cool down properly 3) They help the body recover better for the next hard workout by going extra slow on recovery runs: 2:30-4 minutes a mile slower than 5K pace > the easier you go on the easy days, the harder you'll be able to go on the hard days In-Between Workouts Recovery They help the body recover better with: 1) fresh, seasonal, local real food > try to eat more food from the local farmer's market – the less processed, the better 2) lots of sleep and non-active rest (i.e. lying down to get off their feet). 10 hours of sleep each night and 1-2 hours of napping > try to get more sleep and rest. 3) simplifying their life with very little distraction – no TV, computers, cell phones, iPads or other technological devices. Outside of basic things like washing their clothes and eating they'll allow for reading or going for a walk,...
Stem Cell Therapy in a Caprine Model of Osteoarthritis J. Mary Murphy,1 David J. Fink,1 Ernst B. Hunziker,2 and Frank P. Barry1 Objective. To explore the role that implanted mesenchymal stem cells may play in tissue repair or regeneration of the injured joint, by delivery of an autologous preparation of stem cells to caprine knee joints following induction of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. Adult stem cells were isolated from caprine bone marrow, expanded in culture, and transduced to express green fluorescent protein. OA was induced unilaterally in the knee joint of donor animals by complete excision of the medial meniscus and resection of the anterior cruciate ligament. After 6 weeks, a single dose of 10 million autologous cells suspended in a dilute solution of sodium hyaluronan was delivered to the injured knee by direct intraarticular injection. Control animals received sodium hyaluronan alone. Results. In cell-treated joints, there was evidence of marked regeneration of the medial meniscus, and implanted cells were detected in the newly formed tissue. Degeneration of the articular cartilage, osteophytic remodeling, and subchondral sclerosis were reduced in cell-treated joints compared with joints treated with vehicle alone without cells. There was no evidence of repair of the ligament in any of the joints. Conclusion. Local delivery of adult mesenchymal stem cells to injured joints stimulates regeneration of meniscal tissue and retards the progressive destruction normally seen in this model of OA.

Written by Maridel Reyes
People dream of being their own boss and having a career they truly love. And with the economy still in recovery, the best job just might be the one you create for yourself. Starting your own business can be daunting and overwhelming. Follow these expert-approved tips below to turn your business dream into a money-making reality:
Come up with a concept. Don't quit your day job just yet. Before you take the plunge, really think through your business idea. Start with areas you already are passionate about, and for which you have equipment and materials. This will help cut down on the startup costs for your company. You also will need an idea of the prospects for the potential business. Are you filling a void in the market? Can you make money doing it? This will require some research into the marketplace and how other similar businesses have fared. Also, consider the real reason why you're striking out your own. Don't start a business because you've run out of options.
Find your niche. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. There are many ways a single idea can be executed, whether it's a cupcake shop, a dog-grooming service or shoe repair. You just have to execute your version in a unique, memorable way. So make sure you can explain in one sentence (consider this your elevator pitch) why your company is different and why it's exactly what people are looking for. Keep in mind that a service business is much less expensive to get off the ground than a product business where you must create a tangible good.
Figure out your customer. Determine exactly who your customers are. If you're creating a face wash, don't say you're selling to "all women." Is it targeted to women who get monthly facials or those who mainly buy cosmetics from the drugstore? Your ingredients, process, packaging and pricing will all determine who the customer is. Be specific.
Plan to win. Entrepreneurship professor William B. Gartner of Clemson University in South Carolina found that writing a business plan greatly increased the chances a person would actually go into business. "You're two and a half times more likely to get into business," Gartner has said. "People who write business plans also do more stuff." And if you want to get funding from banks, VCs or government agencies, a business plan is usually required. In your business plan, it's important to mention how much you'll charge for your services—and how you plan to become profitable. Don't undervalue your time and talent. How do you figure out exactly how much to charge? Work backwards. Ask yourself what you want to make annually, and then break down that figure monthly and weekly. From there, you can figure out how many products you must sell or how many clients you will need to meet those numbers. Also take into account the costs associated with delivering that product or service. Plan with these numbers in mind and revisit your figures monthly.
Grab start-up cash. Most businesses need startup income. This investment will hopefully help you break even after a year, but keep in mind that even successful businesses can remain in the red for the first few years. Because of this, you will want to tap into a few different sources of funding, including a small-business loan, personal savings, money generated from other investments, family and friends who can act as investors, and crowdsourcing sites like Kickstarter.
Poll your customers. Your first customers are key. They provide you with revenue, legitimize your idea, and they're also a source of valuable feedback that will help improve your business so more customers keep coming in.
Build a safety net. One of the best things you can do before you take the leap is to build an emergency fund to tap into if your company doesn't break even for a few months. Three months of living expenses is a minimum goal for a new business owner, but even more will help take the stress off of you and let you spend your energy on your company.
TELL US: What advice would you give first-time entrepreneurs about starting their own business? What lessons have you learned as a small business owner?

Preparation for Graduation and Degree Requirements
Applying to Graduate
To apply for graduation, a student must indicate the term (semester and year) in which you will be completing all degree and major requirements. The graduation application is available in the Student Center via My UW. During the application process, a student should also indicate attendance/no attendance to a commencement ceremony. You can indicate your no attendance/commencement preference from the respective drop-down on the 'Apply for Graduation' page. For help applying for graduation or selecting a commencement ceremony, please visit 'Applying for Graduation' instruction page or the demo.
Name Verification
Verify that your name as indicated on your My UW account is exactly the name you want in the commencement program and on your diploma. If you wish to change any aspect (use of middle name, etc.) complete the Name Change form.
Degree Requirements
The Graduation Intentions form is placed in 3L hang files in late September. To ensure you are eligible to graduate, you must complete it and return it to the Law School's registrar in room 5107 of the Law Building for a credit audit. This form lets the Law School to know your intent to graduate and also ensures the Law School sends you important information regarding graduation. The list generated from the returned Graduation Intentions form is also used by the Board of Bar Examiners for file checks of character and fitness.
Students carrying old incompletes should plan on finishing the work for these classes well before the end of the semester in which they plan to graduate. This is necessary so their work can be graded and the proper paperwork can be completed before the end of the semester.
For detailed information on graduation degree requirements, please refer to Chapter 4 of the "Read This First! Handbook."
Careful completion of the JD/Diploma Privilege Graduation Credit Evaluation Worksheet (available on our Forms page) will confirm whether you have met the requirements for graduation and will be eligible for diploma privilege. Contact Registrar Amy Arntsen with questions or concerns.

Honors—Dean's Academic Achievement Awards
Graduating students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.35
at the end of their penultimate semester receive a Dean's Academic Achievement
Award. Once the Law School registrar has determined which students are
eligible for the Dean's Academic Achievement Awards, the students will
be notified and the list sent to the University Book Store. The store
will allow those students to rent the red honors stole to wear at
graduation. Stoles are picked up at the same time as the cap and gown. The Law School does not have final grades calculated until after graduation. Most
students who receive the Dean's Academic Achievement Award are likely to
receive cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude honors after
calculation of final grades. Students who receive these graduation honors will receive a Law School certificate that recognizes their
honors status. The certificates will be mailed during the summer, so be
sure your My UW account has a post-graduation address on file. Please note, however, that receiving the Dean's Academic Achievement Award is not the same as graduating 'with honors.'
Exit/Graduation Photographs
Graduates can have their exit or graduation photos taken by a professional photographer at the Law School. Each student may select a photo for use in our Alumni Photo Collection located on the second floor of the Law Library. Students may order copies for a nominal price. Details on registering and more information for the photo session will be emailed.

Dean Raymond will host the ceremony. Speakers will include two students from the graduating class and one graduate student, a member of the faculty selected by the third-year class, and a keynote speaker. After the speeches, each student will be called to the stage to be hooded by a faculty member and congratulated by the dean. Photos will be taken of each graduate shaking hands with the dean. Students receiving the Doctor of Juridical Science, Master of Laws and Master of Laws-Legal Institutions will be honored at this ceremony.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, there will be a recessional. Graduates and family members are to remain seated until the dean and faculty exit the stage. The graduates will follow the faculty out of the Exhibit Hall and guests will exit after the graduates.
Seating in the Exhibit Hall

Post-Graduation and Bar Admission Information
Diploma Information
All diplomas are handled by the Office of the Registrar, 333 East Campus Mall #11101, 608-262-4426. The office is open Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Email: email@example.com
Domestic First Class: Diplomas for students graduating at the end of each semester will be mailed out approximately 12 to 14 weeks after graduation at no charge. Diplomas will be mailed to the student's home address, with the exception of international addresses (see below). Students should be sure that their home address is up-to-date through My Info or My UW.
International Airmail: Students who wish to have their diploma mailed outside of North America at no charge must check their home addresses for accuracy at "Student Center" via My UW. If they would like the diploma mailed to that address, update it as a diploma address. Questions of any kind regarding diploma mailing can be sent to email@example.com
Students who have holds placed on their records for any type of service will not receive their diplomas until those holds are cleared. Information on how to clear holds is available on the campus registrar's website.
Diploma Cover
You will receive a red diploma cover when you walk across the stage at the UW Graduate and Professional Student Commencement Ceremony at the Kohl Center (date and location to be determined). Students who will not attend the Kohl Center Commencement Ceremony can pick up a diploma cover from Transcripts & Certification at the Office of the Registrar, 333 E. Campus Mall, Room 10101, Madison, WI 53715-1384, 608-262-3811. The office is open Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Posting of Degrees
Once your degree is posted, it will show under the Degree Summary link in the Student Center on MyUW.
Ordering Transcripts
Order official transcripts through the UW Office of the Registrar. Get step-by-step instructions for ordering your transcript.
The Order of the Coif
Elections to the Order of the Coif are made once a year, combining December, May, and August graduates into one election. Notifications of election to the Order of the Coif are usually sent in November, so December graduates wait almost a full year to learn whether or not they have been elected to the Order. Graduates must keep email and mailing addresses current on My UW in order to receive notification of election and Coif certificates. For more information on the Order of the Coif, please see "Read This First! Handbook," Section 9.7.
Bar Admission Information
Wisconsin Bar admission via diploma privilege requires that the Application for Character and Fitness Certification be filed with the Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners by Feb, 3, 2014, for December 2013 graduates; July 1, 2014, for May graduates; and Oct. 1, 2014, for August graduates — there are absolutely no exceptions to this rule. There is a significant financial incentive to filing your application early. An application is considered filed when all three of the following items have been received: (1) the application forms; (2) the authorization and release form; and (3) the filing fee. Students who have been cleared for Wisconsin Bar admission via diploma privilege have up to one year from the date of graduation to be admitted. Again, there are no exceptions to this rule. Information and filing instructions along with the application packet are available at the Wisconsin Supreme Court Board of Bar Examiners website.
For more information on the diploma privilege, please refer to section 4.7 of the "Read This First! Handbook."
December and May graduates who have been cleared for Wisconsin Bar admission under the diploma privilege and for whom all grades (temporary or final) have been received may take part in the respective group bar-admission ceremonies.
Federal Bar admission for the Western District of Wisconsin takes place on a staggered schedule with Wisconsin Bar admission for May graduates. The application form is available on the Western District website. Detailed instructions will be sent by email midsemester. Students who will be practicing in Milwaukee will be in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Eastern District admission is purely voluntary, and may be handled by mail at a later time.
Applying for Bar Exams in States other than Wisconsin
The Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements is available at www.ncbex.org.
All forms and certificates that are to be completed by the law school should be sent to Registrar Amy Arntsen. LLM-Legal Institutions students should send their forms to the Graduate Programs office.
Swearing-In Ceremonies
The swearing-in ceremonies are not part of the graduation events and not held on the same day as the graduation ceremonies.
The swearing-in ceremonies for admission to the Wisconsin and federal courts, held a few weeks after graduation, are important events for graduates. The courts set the date and notify graduates. These are formal ceremonies and professional business attire is required. There is a group swearing-in for the Wisconsin state courts for May and December graduates. August graduates receive information about scheduling swearing-in ceremonies after submitting their applications to the Board of Bar Examiners. There is a group swearing-in for U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin for May graduates only. If you are not able to participate in the U.S. District Court group swearing-in ceremony and wish to be admitted into the Western District, you may make arrangements by calling 608-261-5156 for admission information. If you wish to be admitted to the Eastern District, please contact that office in Milwaukee at 414-297-1205.
Group Swearing-In for December Graduates
This ceremony is under the authority of the courts and is held in January; the exact date has yet to be announced. Sometimes the ceremony is combined with the swearing-in of the Marquette University December graduates. To participate in the group swearing-in ceremony, you must file your Application for Character and Fitness Certification to the Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners according to a schedule set by the Board, and the applicant files must be deemed complete by Board staff. If you are unable to complete your file in time for the group swearing-in, you will receive information from the Board about how to schedule your swearing-in once your application file is complete.
The group swearing-in ceremony for the Wisconsin state courts takes place in the Wisconsin Supreme Court chambers at the State Capitol. The Board of Bar Examiners will notify you about the time of the ceremony. After you are sworn in at the Supreme Court, you must sign the Supreme Court's Roll of Attorneys and turn in your completed enrollment form. If you are unable to make the group swearing-in time, please contact the Board of Bar Examiners at 608-266-9760.
There is no group swearing-in for the U.S. District Court for December graduates. If you wish to be admitted into the Western District you may make arrangements by calling 608-261-5156 for admission information. If you wish to be admitted to the Eastern District, please contact that office in Milwaukee at 414-297-1205.
Group Swearing-In for May Graduates
These ceremonies are under the authority of the courts and are tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, 2014, for May graduates. To participate in the group swearing-in ceremony, you must file your Application for Character and Fitness Certification to the Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners according to a schedule set by the Board, and your application must be deemed complete by the Board staff by May 16, 2014. If you are unable to complete your file in time for the group swearing-in, you will receive information from the Board about how to schedule your swearing-in once your application file is complete.
Wisconsin State Courts
The group swearing-in ceremonies for the Wisconsin state courts take place in the Wisconsin Supreme Court chambers at the State Capitol, usually beginning at 8:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. (if necessary). About 35 people are in each group, and the groups are admitted alphabetically. Final group assignments are not set until the week before the ceremony. The Board of Bar Examiners will notify you of the time of your ceremony. After you are sworn in at the Supreme Court, you must sign the Supreme Court's Roll of Attorneys and turn in your completed enrollment form. Afterward, there will be a reception for you, your family and your friends at the Madison Club, sponsored by the State Bar of Wisconsin.
If you are unable to make the group swearing-in times for admission of diploma-privilege students to practice law in Wisconsin, please contact the Board of Bar Examiners at 608-266-9760.
U.S. District Court
The group swearing-in ceremony for the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin is at the Robert W. Kastenmeier U.S. Courthouse, 120 North Henry St., Madison, and usually takes place about two hours after the state court ceremony. Enter through the side door of the federal courthouse, next to the parking lot. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ceremony so that you will have time to go through the security check and get to the second floor.
If you do not plan to participate in the U.S. District Court group swearing-in ceremony and wish to be admitted later, you may make arrangements by calling 608-261-5156 for admission information into the Western District. If you wish to be admitted to the Eastern District, please contact that office in Milwaukee at 414-297-1205.
More information on bar admission and swearing-in ceremonies can be found in section 4.7 of the "Read This First! Handbook."

- Stop into the Office of Career and Professional Development and fill out a survey.

Need to upgrade your home Wi-Fi router? Here are five options that are an exceptional value at less than $100.
Buffalo brings to CES 2014 three new 802.11ac-based Wi-Fi AirStation routers including a top-tier WXR-1900DHP, a dual-stream WHR-1166D, and mobile router AirStation AC433. All of them will be available later this year.
Home users, especially Apple fans who own 802.11ac-enabled devices, will love the new AirPort Extreme for its all-new elegant design, ease of use, and great performance; advanced users should look elsewhere for more features and customization.
Buffalo announces the availability of three Wi-Fi routers which come preinstalled with DD-WRT Linux-based firmware, instead of the company's stock firmware.
We've rounded up the finest wireless routers on the market across a range of prices, so take a peek at our list.

Using RCS version control to manage simple scripts
The Revision Control System (RCS) provides simple, reliable version control without the complexity of bigger systems like Subversion or CVS.
If you are the kind of Linux user with a collection of homegrown scripts, such as Perl snippets for downloading web comics or Shell scripts for backing up files, you may have considered adopting some form of version management tracking. For a single user, it doesn't always make sense to use one of the popular, but complex, tools, such as CVS [2] or Subversion [3]. If you're looking for a simpler level of version control, you may want to try the Revision Control System (RCS). RCS is a well tested and stable tool with excellent support. If your distribution does not come with RCS, you can either download it from the GNU project homepage [1], or get it direct from the official RCS homepage [4]. The INSTALL and INSTALL.RCS files from the unpacked tarball, rcs-5.7.tar.Z, provide notes for installing from the source files.

RICHMOND, Va., April 16, 2013 – Sophomore Taylor Pinchoff (Sylvan Lake, Mich./West Bloomfield) earned the final 2013 Colonial Athletic Association women's tennis Player of the Week honor, the first of her career, following a 3-0 week to close out the regular season. She adds it to the two Doubles Team of the Week honors she shares with senior Michelle Nguyen (Springfield, Va./South County).
In a 6-1 team victory over Radford on April 10, Pinchoff took down Taylor Newman 7-5, 6-4 at No. 1 singles to start her three-match win-streak. She defeated Towson's Ayana Dow 6-4, 6-0 at No. 1 singles to help complete the Dukes' 7-0 sweep on April 13 and capped off the regular season with a 6-0, 6-4 win over Delaware's Danea Jonjic at No. 1 singles, a match JMU won 6-1 on April 14.
Pinchoff concluded the regular season with a 9-8 overall record in singles, including a 7-3 record in her last 10 duals. She also went 12-3 with Nguyen in doubles play to help the Dukes finish with an 11-6 record.
Over the final week of competition, Pinchoff and Nguyen notched a 3-0 record at No.1 doubles to extend a six-match win-streak and go 9-1 in their final 10 matches of the regular season. The pair took down Radford's Newman and Meg Napolitano 8-4, Towson's Dow and Lorena Ferrer 8-4 and Delaware's Dorothy Safron and Carmen Lai 8-3 over that span.
No. 3 JMU opens play at the CAA tournament at 9 a.m. Friday morning against No. 6 Towson in Williamsburg, Va.
