An Intimate Bohemian Wedding at the Roche Harbor Resort in San Juan Islands, Washington
Niki Ang and Kelsie Davisson's wedding embodied the laid-back vibe of summer with a waterfront setting and a color palette that paid tribute to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
The couple exchanged vows in a quaint garden ceremony overlooking the bay, then celebrated with guests during an al fresco reception at the historic Roche Harbor Resort. "We wanted an intimate party of 50 people—not too much fluff or flair, just a beautiful celebration for our friends and family that would suit our personalities," the couple says.
They kept the extras to a minimum, allowing the setting to speak for itself. To put a personal twist on the day, Niki and Kelsie used florals and photos of themselves as kids as décor during cocktail hour and incorporated DIY details such as the table numbers, card box and various small signs.
"Most of our design elements relied heavily on our florals. We wanted a lot of natural beauty incorporated into our overall look," Niki says. Eucalyptus garlands ran the length of the tables, and fresh green vines adorned the dessert table.
Our favorite detail? Niki's chic bespoke suit from Sharpe Suiting that she paired with nude pumps and a sleek updo. "We both looked fresh as hell," she says.

Muff Teaser
Finger, suck, eat, etc. a girl until she is begging for it. Then rub your stiffy round her golden
valley until she screams at you to give her a banging. Right when her frustration is at its highest level, stop and finish with a DIY(do it yourself) handjob. Then leave the room without saying a word. Not to be tried if you want to shack up with the selfish bitch again.
So I thought I would try the muff teaser tonight on that ungrateful bitch Michelle.

MUSC Office of Admissions
**Incoming applicants starting May 2020 who were made conditional offers due to outstanding prerequisites and those who have pending degree postings may encounter delays by their respective institutions with ordering/sending official transcripts.
We will accept unofficial transcripts for summer starts under the condition that official transcripts be received prior to the end of the summer semester.**
Due to COVID-19 concerns, the Office of Enrollment Management at MUSC, including Admissions, is currently operating in a manner designed to limit face-to-face interactions to protect not just our "customers", but our staff and their families. We ARE still functional in all areas (Financial Aid, Admissions, Registrar, Enrollment Reporting), but please understand that our capacity to do so in the usual fashion and at the speed with which we/you are accustomed is a bit slowed. We are working hard to overcome some of these logistical and technical challenges, but do not expect to be at normal capacity again until the current university-wide situation improves.
- Currently, our building has been closed to public/student walk-in access and we are encouraging all electronic communication.
- We are receiving and processing your application forms, but we expect some delays from our usual turnaround time.
- Many staff will be temporarily working from home several days per week. Your patience in hearing back from them upon inquiry, is appreciated. Please leave a voicemail when calling and provide your name and return phone number. You will be responded to.
University Admissions, part of Enrollment Management, provides centralized services for prospective and current applicants, and all contact between applicants and MUSC should originate with this office. University Admissions makes all application forms accessible online, and staff are available to assist you in understanding prerequisite requirements, transcript submission, and additional application processes. Decisions regarding eligibility for admission and offers of admission are made solely through each College. However, all contact between applicants and MUSC should originate with Enrollment Management.
Factors considered to determine eligibility for admission include the applicant's previous academic success, work previously completed, and the demonstrated ability of the applicant to ascertain both those cognitive and non-cognitive traits necessary and desirable in health professionals. MUSC seeks to assure diversity among its applicants and in its student body. MUSC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, or marital status in the administration of admission policies, educational policies, financial aid, or any other university activity. Any applicant needing assistance during any stage of the admission process is invited to contact Enrollment Management.
Application filing deadlines vary by program.

Information Privacy
MUSC seeks to protect your personal information and complies with applicable state and federal regulations. Only authorized MUSC employees and officials acting on behalf of the university have access to materials submitted in support of your application to enroll at the university.
Consideration for Admission
To be reviewed and considered for admission, all applicants must file their application with a non-refundable processing fee. All materials submitted in support of the admission process become the exclusive property of MUSC and cannot be returned to the student or duplicated for any purpose. These materials usually include, but are not limited to, official transcripts of all prior graduate and undergraduate work, letters of recommendation, and national test scores.
Applicants are only considered for the semester and the program they specify on the application form. Changes require an applicant to refile an application and to pay an additional filing fee. Deferrals in the anticipated enrollment date requested after acceptance of the admission offer are made only with the approval of the program involved. The accepted applicant must complete the applicant response form and pay the matriculation fee to hold their place in the program as well as meet any conditions of their acceptance.
Academic preparation (in the form of transfer credits, diplomas, or degrees) required for entrance into any of the programs at MUSC must ordinarily have been earned at an institution which has been accorded accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, Inc. (SACS COC), which can be contacted at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA, 30033-4097, or by telephone 404-679-4500, or another regional accrediting body of similar rank. The admissions committee of a particular college of MUSC may consider an applicant from a non-accredited institution in competition with other applicants if it determines that the applicant's academic preparation meets the entrance requirements of the college.
In addition, the committee on admissions of the respective MUSC college may require a recognized examination such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the American College Test (ACT), the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Dental Admission Test (DAT), the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT), the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), and recognized national professional board examinations. Credit by examination is allowed on a limited basis. To be eligible, students must be matriculated and must meet specific conditions of the college. Students entering the College of Nursing or the College of Health Professions may also receive credit through the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). Maximums allowed are described in the college section of this bulletin. Semester credits awarded according to the CLEP scores received follow the guidelines of the American Council on Education.
Non-residents of the state of South Carolina and international students are granted admission to most programs in very limited numbers. MUSC is a state-assisted institution and preference is awarded to applicants who are residents of South Carolina. Therefore, while non-residents are considered for admission, superior credentials are usually necessary for acceptance. Details of the residency process and the South Carolina Code of Laws governing residency can be found in the Registrar and Records section.
MUSC is authorized to offer its online degree programs to residents of certain states. If you are accepted into an online degree program, at the time of your application we have confirmed that we are authorized to offer that degree program to residents of your state. Should you wish to change your state of legal residence during your enrollment at MUSC, it is your responsibility to make sure that MUSC is authorized to offer your online degree program in that state.
Admission Status
Conditional admission is a status assigned to those applicants who have not yet fulfilled all admission requirements because of extenuating circumstances. However, there must be a preponderance of evidence of eligibility. Conditions for clearing this conditional status are established by the college of enrollment at the time of admission.
Advanced standing may be granted for undergraduate transfer applicants with 60 or more semester transferable units who otherwise meet academic eligibility requirements. Credit determination is made by Enrollment Management staff in consultation with appropriate faculty. It is the student's responsibility to report to Enrollment Management at the time of application for admission all college-level course work completed outside MUSC. Omitting such information may result in withdrawal of the admission decision. Graduate and professional applicants entering with completed graduate/professional degree work may receive advanced standing. However, this is highly unusual and decisions are made within the appropriate college dean's office according to various and complex criteria.
Auditors and applicants not seeking a degree must complete the "Non-degree Seeking Student Application" form each semester, available from the Office of Enrollment Management. Permissions must be received from the instructor and the dean of the college in which the course is to be taken. The filing fee includes an application fee, a student services access matriculation fee and both fees are non-refundable. Non-degree seeking student applications are accepted up to the drop/add deadline for the semester. Such students will be allowed to enroll in any term only as part-time students, and do not qualify for financial aid.
Applicants seeking admission to the combined degree programs (MD/PhD and DMD/PhD) must meet admission requirements for both degree programs. Degrees are awarded concurrently.
Admission to candidacy for graduation is not implied when admission to study is granted. Students seeking to graduate must apply to their college dean in the semester prior to their intended graduation.
An admitted applicant declares their intention to matriculate with a written acceptance of admission together with the required non-refundable matriculation fee. Without payment, admission is not confirmed. Applicants are expected to accept admission within four weeks of the offer unless otherwise stipulated by the college. Matriculating students will receive orientation information from their designated college prior to beginning their program. Students may not be enrolled in more than one program at any given time except for combined degree programs or by special approval of the dean(s) and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Annual Security Report/ Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act: Notice of Availability

As such, the Medical University of South Carolina is pleased to announce that its Annual Security Report is now available. This report is required by federal law and contains policy statements and crime statistics for the university. The policy statements in the report address MUSC's policies, procedures and programs concerning safety and security; for example, policies and procedures for responding to emergency situations, emergency notifications, timely warnings, sexual assaults, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
The report also provides information on topics such as crime prevention and awareness programs, authority of campus law enforcement officials, crime and emergency reporting procedures, disciplinary procedures, and other matters of importance related to security and safety on campus. The past three (3) years' worth of statistics are included for certain types of crimes that were reported to have occurred on campus, in off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the university, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to the campus.

The alert declared by operators at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant as a result of a chemical spill this morning was terminated at 2:08 p.m. today.
Operators declared the alert at 3:53 a.m. today after workers discovered sodium hypochloride, commonly known as chlorine bleach, leaking from a tank in the screen house. The chemical is used to treat water that is brought into the plant for cooling.
The incident released no radioactive material, and officials said there is no danger to the public. No workers have been injured at the plant.
The sodium hypochloride leaked from a tank and is fully contained within a berm. The cause of the leak is being investigated.
As a precautionary measure, Prescott and Ellsworth school districts delayed the start of classes two hours.
"We weren't sure what the release was and so we canceled school until we found out," Prescott Superintendent Roger Hulne said, adding that he decided a two-hour delay was sufficient when he discovered the leak was completely contained.
A flurry of Facebook and Twitter posts as well as text messages flying back and forth indicated those districts were closed, students said.
In fact, classes were only delayed. Ellsworth School District sent out an automated message to households just before 8 a.m. stating it was safe to hold classes.
The River Falls School District also sent out a recorded notification to parents advising of the situation. Superintendent Tom Westerhaus noted that the Pierce County Emergency Management Center had been activated.
Delaying schools is standard practice, authorities from Goodhue and Pierce counties told the R-E, for those communities in the path of any potential leak. The Wisconsin school districts are east/northeast of the plant, which is on the Mississippi River, and the wind is blowing in that direction.
An alert is the second lowest of four emergency classifications established by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The purpose of an alert is to assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond and to provide off-site authorities with current status information.
The Minnesota State Emergency Operations Center and Joint Information Center were activated today, as well as the Goodhue County Emergency Operations Center.
To keep telephone lines open for emergency communications, Xcel Energy asks the public not to call the plant site or Xcel Energy. The state of Minnesota is establishing a toll-free emergency number to respond to inquiries about the incident. The number will be publicized as soon as it is operational.
The Prairie Island nuclear plant is 28 miles southeast of Minneapolis-St. Paul and about six miles northwest of Red Wing. The plant's two pressurized water reactors generate 1,076 megawatts of electricity, enough to power nearly 1 million homes. Both units continue to operate at full power.
How news of the leak at Prairie Island nuclear plant unfolded
3:53 a.m.
Operators at Prairie Island nuclear plant declare an alert after workers discover sodium hypochloride -- commonly known as chlorine bleach -- leaking from a tank in the screen house.
The chemical is used to treat water that is brought into the plant for cooling.
6:30 a.m.
Ellsworth Community School District sends out a notice saying school buses will be delayed, but it is not known how long.
7:06 a.m.
Xcel Energy, owner/operator of the plant, sends out a release regarding the chlorine leak. According to Xcel, no release of radioactive material is associated with the event and there is no danger to the public.
7:14 a.m.
The Pierce County Emergency Operations Center warns the public about the incident at the nuclear plant, and suggests tuning into radio stations KCUE, KWNG and WCCO for more information.
7:27 a.m.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety sends out a release saying it has activated its Emergency Operations Center and is monitoring the nuclear plant situation.
7:52 a.m.
An update from the Ellsworth School District alerts parents that school will begin two hours late.
7:55 a.m.
The Minnesota Department of Safety announces it will hold a news conference at 9 a.m. in its media briefing room to address the status of the nuclear plant.
8:04 a.m.
Goodhue County Emergency Operations Center repeats the alert sent out earlier by Xcel Energy.
8:41 a.m.
The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission announces that its resident inspectors have responded to the plant and are monitoring workers' handling of the incident.
The leak has been isolated in a berm around the screen house and a chemical crew is on the way to clean up the leak, the NRC says.
9 a.m.
Minnesota officials and Xcel Energy hold a press conference.
2:08 p.m.
Operators at the nuclear plant terminate the alert declaration.

is an injury to the brain that occurs when the brain's blood supply is interrupted. Blood carries oxygen which is necessary for all cells in the body to survive. The brain has one of the highest demands for oxygen. In fact, cells in the brain start to die if they are without oxygen-rich blood for more than a few minutes. The death of these brain cells can result in permanent brain damage.
Other terms for stroke include cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or brain attack.
Blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the body are called arteries. Oxygen-rich blood is delivered to the brain through the carotid arteries along both sides of the neck. These arteries split into several smaller vessels that reach throughout the brain and skull. Damage or blockage to any of these arteries can slow or stop blood flow to the brain. The severity of brain damage will depend on the amount of brain tissue affected, the length of time the blood flow is impaired, and the area of the brain affected.
An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel of the brain becomes blocked. Nearly 90% of all strokes are ischemic. Blockage may be caused by:
A stroke may also occur if a blood vessel breaks and bleeds into or around the brain. Hemorrhagic stroke is the most common type of stroke in young people. The leading causes of this type of stroke are:
A silent stroke occurs without any typical signs or symptoms of a stroke. Despite this, silent strokes cause damage to brain tissue and increase the risk of a major stroke in the future. Silent strokes tend to occur in silent areas of the brain that are not obviously active in cognitive function or mobility. Brain tissue damage is usually found incidentally during imaging tests.
Strokes can also be classified according to their course in time:
Multiple small strokes may occur over time, from days to years, and create effects similar to one big stroke.

GLENDORA, Calif. -- Only four votes separate John Force, Kenny Bernstein and Jeff Gordon for the 2001 Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association All-America Auto Racing Team's most prestigious honor.
The three drivers were among first-team selections for the auto racing media organization, and one of them will be revealed as the Jerry Titus Award winner on Jan. 12 at the annual AARWBA banquet in Pomona, Calif. The Titus Award recognizes AARWBA's Driver of the Year.
Bernstein and Force were named first-team selections in the Drag Racing category, while Gordon, along with Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart, earned first-team honors in the Stock Car category.
Bernstein earned his seventh AARWBA first-team selection, and 11th overall, by producing perhaps his finest season ever. He drove his Budweiser King Top Fuel dragster to eight victories in 12 finals while resetting both world record performance statistics (4.477 seconds, 332.18 mph). He claimed his second NHRA Top Fuel World Championship, and sixth overall (four in Funny Car in the 1980s).
Force, a three-time Titus Award winner (1996, 1999, 2000), is making his 11th AARWBA appearance and 10th as a first-team All-America selection. He powered his CASTROL GTX Ford Mustang to six victories en route to winning his 11th NHRA World Championship, and ninth in a row. He elevated his career win total to a NHRA-record 98, while resetting the world elapsed time record to 4.731 seconds.
Four-time NASCAR Winston Cup champion Gordon claimed six victories and 18 top five finishes to make his eighth appearance as a first-team All-America selection, and ninth overall. Gordon is a two-time winner of the Titus Award (1995, 1998). In addition to Force and Gordon, other past Titus Award winners include: Mario Andretti (1977, 1978, 1984); Mark Donohue (1971, 1973); Johnny Rutherford (1974, 1980); and Al Unser Jr. (1990, 1994).
Warren Johnson and Larry Dixon were selected to the Second-Team in the Drag Racing category. Johnson, a seven-time AARWBA All-America selection, earned his sixth NHRA World Championship in Pro Stock with a gritty season-long effort in his GM Goodwrench Pontiac Grand Am. Dixon, making his first appearance on the All-America team, earned six victories behind the wheel of his Miller Lite dragster, posting a career-best runner-up finish in the NHRA World Championship standings in Top Fuel.
Other first-team selections included: Open Wheel: Gil de Ferran, Sam Hornish; Road Racing: Paul Gentilozzi, James Weaver; Short Track: Dave Darland, Danny Lasoski; and At Large: Townsend Bell, Rob MacCacheren.
Other second-team selections included: Stock Car: Ricky Rudd; Open Wheel: Kenny Brack, Helio Castroneves; Road Racing: Terry Borcheller, Emmanuele Pirro; Short Track: Johnny Sauter, Jack Sprague; and At Large: Doug Goad, Hoover Orsi.
AARWBA members have annually selected an All-America Auto Racing Team since 1970.
Drivers selected to the team will be honored at the AARWBA banquet, to be held Jan.
12 at the Sheraton at Fairplex in Pomona. The reception will be held at the adjacent
NHRA Motorsports Museum. The banquet is open to the public. For tickets or other

Gluten-free social networking is an easy and efficient way to connect with people with similar intolerances as well as giving and receiving useful information. Of the gluten-free social networking sites I came across, like Celiac Teen, Gluten - Free Faces, and Sugar and Spice (all of which were on your list), I found a lot of positive information from people just like me. To agree with your statement about bloggers different gluten-free perspectives, it is interesting to see individuals worldwide sharing the same problem but adding their own personal flares on getting passed it. This list and summary is a great help to those enjoying a gluten-free life. As a gluten-free girl, I too am grateful for the recipes and information learned from the supportive gluten-free blogging community. Thanks for your commitment to the cause, I look forward to reading these blogs!

NCAA Tournament 2013 Midwest Region — Day 4
Most of the action in the Midwest Region took place on Saturday, but there was one game left.
Second-seeded Duke beat seventh-seeded Creighton for the right to advance to a Sweet 16 game against Michigan State on Friday in Indianapolis. Louisville and Oregon have already advanced.
(2) Duke 66, (7) Creighton 50
Rasheed Sulaimon scored 21 points, and second-seeded Duke beat seventh-seeded Creighton, 66-50, in a third round game of the 2013 NCAA tournament's Midwest Region on Sunday in Philadelphia. The Blue Devils were firmly in control of the game from the outset and pulled away in the second half. Duke advanced to the round of 16 and will play Michigan State in Indianapolis on Friday. Doug McDermott led the Bluejays with 21 points. Creighton made just two of 19 attempts from 3-point range.

"One weekend, my daughter Anna asked if she could help me with my job.

Fujitsu claims its Eternus DX80 S2 array is the SPC-1 golden child, with the best price-performance ratios in the mid-range dual controller storage arrays sector. There is no formal mid-range definition though.
SPC-1 is an independent storage array benchmark responding to typical business-critical applications. The S2 version of the DX80 does 34,995.02 IOPS, which is 80 per cent better than the S1 version's 19,492.86 IOPS recorded in 2009. The price/performance improved 35 per cent, from the S1's $3.45/IOPS to the S2's $2.25/IOPS.
The DX80 S2 IOPS numbers are far from the commanding heights of SPC-1dom, as the IOPS chart shows: the fastest system is an IBM Storwize and SAN Volume Controller combination, which recorded 520,043.99 IOPS, almost 15 times faster than the DX80 S2 machine. This wide IOPS spread suggests that the single benchmark is too broad in scope to cover the available range of storage arrays; it is unrealistic to compare massive scale-out/scale-up designs with mainstream standard dual controller arrays such as the DX80.
Interestingly the DX80 S2 is better value than the IBM champ, costing $2.25 per IOPS in the benchmark with the SVC/Storwize combo costing $6.92/IOPS. A chart graphing the $/IOPS numbers for the suppliers in the IOPS chart above shows no obvious correlation between IOPS numbers and $/IOPS numbers. The lowest $/IOPS numbers are recorded by TMS with all flash arrays, and the two highest by IBM with all-disk arrays. The third lowest $/IOPS number in our chart comes from the DX80 S2 and it has by far the lowest cost/IOPS of all the sub-70,000 IOPS arrays in our chart, from the NetApp 3270A downwards.
The SPC has no definition of mid-range arrays in its SPC-1 benchmark. Fujitsu's storage manager Sean Haffey said: "Mid-range storage is a moving feast. Today's Eternus DX80 can support up to 360TB, which ran large enterprises not too many years ago. In smaller configurations, the DX80 is Entry: in large configs it's at the low end of midrange. Furthermore, "entry", "mid range" and "high end" are defined not merely by number of disks but by a combination of capacity, performance and functionality."
There are other DX systems: DX90, DX410, DX440 and DX8700, and these will have second generation technology in them. Haffey said: "We will benchmark other models in the range and, given that the S2 range is considerably more powerful than the S1, I expect to see considerably faster results." ®

Transferring After 1st Semester 2L Year
October 15, 2013, 06:14:05 AM »
I was just wondering if it would be advisable or possible to transfer after first semester of my 2L year. I am currently in the middle of my first semester of my 2L year. I have decent grades, but didn't make law review. I was relatively content at my current school, up until its admission policies negatively impacted its rankings. I was just wonder if it would be possible to transfer at the semester (assuming I could even get into a better school). I'm not concerned as much about the debt or eating the credits, I just want to know if I could transfer, and if I were to transfer to a higher ranked school, would it negatively impact me career-wise (to the extent that I'd be better of sticking it out at my current school).

Please do not take the rankings to seriously remember it is nothing more than an unregulated for profit magazine offering an opinion. Additionally U.S. News ranks more than law schools and currently New Mexico is the best place to live citation here.
Are you going to move to New Mexico because U.S. News said it is the #1 place to live? I hope you would not make the life altering decision to move to New Mexico simply because U.S. News said it was the #1 place to live. On the same vein do not make the life altering decision of transferring law schools because U.S. News has changed the ranking. Also realize the U.S. News formula makes little to no sense for that reason schools rankings change drastically year by year.
You can look at this table to see how often schools have changed over the past four years.
if you transfer it is very possible the school you are attending now will rise above the school you transfer to. Schools can jump 20 to 30 spots any given year.
On top of that I can tell you very few firms care about the U.S. News Rankings outside of the "Top" law schools. If you were transferring to Harvard or Yale it could open more doors, but if your transfering from say Florida International to Stetson or Gonzaga to Seattle nobody cares about the difference between the 92nd and 112th best school.
If you are content at your current school stay there. Remember legal education at every school is essentially identical I do not know what law school you attended, but I imagine your first year consisted of Torts, Civil Procedure and Property. In Torts you read Palsgraff for Proximate Cause and Pennoyer v. Neff for Notice etc. In the end you will learn the exact same things whether your transfer or not and when you graduate you will then take BarBri or Kaplan for your State's Bar exam and be in a room with law students from around the Country learning the same thing. You will then take the Bar Exam, which will be very stressful and if you pass you will have a license to practice law. Once you are a licensed lawyer what you with it will matter much more than the arbitrary U.S. News Ranking of the school you attended.
I cannot tell how many law students place so much emphasis on these rankings, but frankly they are B.S. Obviously Harvard, Yale Stanford etc will open doors and you didn't need U.S. News to tell you those are elite institutions, but frankly outside of the "top" law schools I have no idea what the various rankings are and I am an attorney that reviews resumes.
Also you should be very concerned with the Debt you incur and eating credits based on a magazine. Stay where you are unless you have legitimate reason to transfer such as family emergency or something, but if you had an interview with my firm and told me you decided to pay an extra 25,000 dollars and took an extra semester of law school based and left all the friends and connections you made at your current school based on a magazine I would question your judgment.
All I can say is use common sense and do not make life altering decisions based on opinions published by a for-profit and unregulated magazine.
Good Luck.

Citylaw offers great advice do not transfer based on your school dropping a few points in the rankings.
When choosing a law school the most important factors are as follows (1) Location (2) Cost (3) Personal Feelings about the school (4) Understanding the Realities of Legal Education and (5) Last and Least U.S. News Rankings.
Location is far away and the most important thing when choosing a law school. I don't know where your law school is in, but if your in Chicago when you graduate you will most likely take the Illinois bar and get a job in Chicago or nearby Chicago regardless of whether you attended Depaul, John Marshall, or even Northwestern.
Cost be wary of Costs your law school's ranking will change during the next two years, but the total amount of money you owe upon graduation will not flucuate and it will accrue interest be careful.
Personal feelings about the school. As you stated you are content at your school, but if you leave you will lose your connections and have to adjust to a new school you may not like.
As Citylaw states legal education is the same whether you attend the 82nd or 94th best school at the end you will use BarBri or Kaplan.
U.S. News is a magazine nothing more it has some credibility, but you should not make a life altering decisoin based on it.

Indeed Legend and Spellman I cannot reiterate enough do not get to caught up in the rankings and if your content at your school don't leave. If there is some major personal issue that requires a transfer or family emergency then you might be able to find a way to transfer, but to alter your life over a magazine is not a good idea.
Good luck.

Axelrod, now Obama's "senior adviser" and handler, is still smarting from when Edwards fired him from his 2008 presidential campaign and has been chasing revenge ever since. It was foolish of Obama to give Axelrod his wish because now there will be blow back upon Obama, both political and criminal.
Oh, and did I mention how the lobbyists despise John Edwards for his campaign stand to eliminate them? So, they decided to eliminate Edwards by making sure he is the object of such enduring public scorn and excessive humiliation to ensure he will not rise again as a national politician to thwart them. Remember, Edwards is starting up a public interest law firm to fight lobbyists that have a stranglehold on our government and is no darling of the lobbyist community.

A Noble Nobel Laureate
In preparation for his appearance at the Nobel Prize presentation ceremony in Stockholm on December 10th to receive his award, Prof. Robert J. Aumann, faced a problem he never encountered in all his years of developing the game theory which made him famous.
The professor of mathematics, who is a founding member of Hebrew University's Center for the Study of Rationality, is an Orthodox Jew who wanted to make sure that everything about his participation in the ceremony was kosher. He arranged kosher food and Shabbat provisions for the many relatives and guests he brought along. But that wasn't enough. He began to wonder whether the formal white tie and tails outfit which all male attendees must wear was free of shatnez, the mixture of wool and linen forbidden by the Torah. A sample suit that was flown to Israel and tested in a laboratory confirmed his suspicion.
The happy ending was that a source was found in Stockholm to have the alterations made in time for Prof. Aumann to receive the Nobel Prize in truly noble attire.

October is the month when pranksters let loose, where almost everyone becomes a victim of their sometimes funny and often scary pranks and practical jokes. Taking things one step further is Alton Porter. He built a flying remote-controlled ghost that has glowing eyes that definitely adds to the scare factor.
Alton's probably having a few laughs right now as he flies his R/C ghost around for a test run before unleashing it onto unsuspecting trick-or-treaters come October 31st. If you know him personally or live in the same neighborhood, you might want to avoid his house if you don't want the living daylights scared out of you or your kid…or not, because in hindsight, that's what makes Halloween fun in the first place.

Pitcairn drug investigation leads to 51 arrest warrants
Allegheny County police and others track down suspects Friday
Allegheny County police have announced a large round-up of suspects in a drug investigation in Pitcairn.
"We bought every kind of drug you could possibly think of from prescription drugs to heroin to crack cocaine and powdered cocaine," said Allegheny County Police Superintendent Charles Moffatt.
Police said they are in the process of serving 51 warrants, and more than half of those suspects have already been arrested. The investigation was led by the county's narcotics unit.
SLIDESHOW: Photos of the Pitcairn drug suspects
"We made at least three buys off of all of these individuals," Moffatt said. "These are all street level drug dealers. We're not saying they are in connection with one another."
Several suspects were seen being taken into custody in and around the area of Broadway Boulevard on Friday morning.
"What's the drug of choice in this community?" Channel 4 Action News Reporter Matt Belanger asked a neighbor who was outside watching the police activity Friday morning.
"Probably heroin and crack," answered Kelly Richey who lives in Pitcairn.
Richey said drug dealers have become more brazen recently, conducting deals in plain sight.
"In broad daylight on the street, in the alley ways. They didn't care. They just don't care," Richey said.
"Who'd think something that big would be going on in this small town," said Pitcairn resident Donny Miller.
Miller said he's glad to see police cracking down on drugs in his community. He said he's found drug paraphernalia on the ground in a playground near his house.
"It's about time someone cleaned this town up because it's bad up in here," Miller said.
Moffatt said they believe taking these drug suspects off of the streets will also reduce other crimes that have been happening in the area, like prostitution and thefts.
"In connection with these arrests the officers also searched two homes in Pitcarin yesterday and recovered a small amount of drugs and a weapon was recovered this morning which we are still in the process of tracing," Moffatt said.

Hi Christine
That's a lot of work, and generally it looks great and usable. There are one or two problems I can correct for you when I put the shapes into FontLab and into our group typeface.
You had a couple of nodes that support extreme changes in direction and an additional control point needs to go next to it. When the fulcrum of a curve is too far away from its origin, programs that read vector files (eg. Xara, modeling programs, typeface engines), there's often a problem rendering them to screen and for printing. Ideally, control points are evenly spaced along a character's outline, and used only when there is an abrupt change in the path.
That said, these are wonderful, thank you, the group thanks you...and I will try to put together a "proof of concept" version of this font over the weekend.
We should take it slowly so Frances can participate when she gets back.

Grantee: Butler University
Grant: 2011 Grants to States (sub-award through Indiana State Library)
Pictured: IUPUI Library Digital Initiatives Technician assistant, Lucy Grogg, captures an image of each herbarium sheet
"Having our images available online has been of tremendous benefit to researchers around
the state, the country, and the world. They now have the ability to look at any specimen and
the associated data without having to leave their offices."
-- Marcia Moore, Friesner Herbarium Assistant
Herbaria are collections of pressed and dried plant specimens, which are valuable for scientific and historic studies because they document the time period and distribution of local flora. Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana, has a collection of more than 100,000 specimens in its Friesner Herbarium, over half of which were collected in Indiana. These specimens were stored in cabinets, each carefully labeled in a standard format, documenting the location and date of the collection, a description of the habitat, and the county where the plant grew.
However, public awareness about this collection was low, and individuals had to visit the herbarium to access and study the plant specimens. Resources about Indiana plant life in general were also lacking; the last book published about the entire flora of Indiana was in 1940, and it's out of print.
Over the years, Butler students helped to a build a database with the specimens' label information. But, it wasn't until the herbarium found a way to shoot images of the specimens and post them online in a searchable format that the potential of this vast collection was unleashed.
Digitizing Decades of Flora
The herbarium received a grant from Indiana State Library through the IMLS Grants to States program to create a digital collection. The goal of the project, developed through a partnership between Butler University and Indiana-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), is to capture and make available online full-color digital images of Indiana plant specimens from the past and present.
Butler students – many of whom were biology majors – assisted in retrieving, packing, and filing specimens, while IUPUI provided the technology resources needed for photographing the specimens. Library science students aided in digitization, after Friesner Herbarium staff learned that one of Butler's librarians knew how to use online database management systems that could handle the collection – just the help they needed. "Librarians are on the forefront of digitization efforts working to make information available online," said Rebecca Dolan, Friesner Herbarium Director.
Butler Herbarium and library staff worked with students to create high-quality digital images of each specimen. These detailed, full-color scans allow students and researchers to study the features of plants while reducing handling of the fragile specimens. Visitors to the digital collection are able to utilize the images and metadata and narrow their searches by species, location, and time period.
Linking Botany, History, and Everything in Between
The project, which is still underway, has made available to the public volumes of data from fourteen of Indiana's largest and most common plant families. In addition to facilitating access, the digitization has helped to promote awareness of the collection and appreciation of the wide diversity of plant life within the state of Indiana. Because the majority of the collecting was done from the 1920s through the 1940s, the collection serves as an important historical record.
Although the catalog hasn't been completed yet, the project has already yielded valuable results for a variety of users. Because the information is now searchable, researchers can better use the collection to determine which species were known to grow in each county throughout the years. Local high school students studying environmental science also used the digital collection to study invasive species by tracking the spread of plants in Indiana and observing where and when they were collected, contrasting the information with another collection about rare plants.
The Friesner Herbarium also developed related materials made possible through digital records, including lesson plans for teachers to use in the classroom to study herbaria. Professional botanists conducting research through the herbarium have commented that these are the best images they have seen, and nature photographers use the collection to help identify plants they have photographed. Artists have also used it to source images for their artwork.
The collection is also a part of the Indiana Memory Project, a collaboration of Indiana libraries, museums, archives, and related cultural organizations to enable access to Indiana's unique cultural and historical heritage through a variety of digital formats and free distribution over the Internet.
The Digital Effect
Having the collection digitized allowed the herbarium to improve its curation and discover items that had been previously identified incorrectly in the database. As a separate project using the digital collection, the Friesner Herbarium is also developing an online plant atlas of county-level flora distributions so individuals can study where plants are known to grow in the state through maps and visuals.
Friesner Herbarium staff presented the institution's process and results for digitizing its collection to peers at the Midwest CONTENTdm Users Group Meeting and the annual meeting of the Botanical Society of America, and local NPR station WFYI aired an interview of Director Rebecca Dolan discussing the project.
Compared to the herbarium's fewer than a dozen in-person visits per year, traffic to the digital collection has exceeded 7,000 visits a month. Many researchers have commented in surveys that they discovered species that they were previously unaware had ever grown in Indiana. In the long term, the public will be better informed of plants that grow in the state. The herbarium has shown Indiana to be an interesting area floristically. With the digital collection expanding the ways available to mine and analyze the data, there is plenty to continue exploring.

|NAWM Board Announces "Wabash Day"
|by Tom Runge '71
|Printer-friendly version
The board of directors of the National Association of Wabash Men (NAWM) unanimously adopted a proposal for a national day of community service called "Wabash Day" – that Wabash standing for "Wabash Alumni Benefiting And Serving Humanity.
The concept is for Wabash regional associations to perform one or more community service projects on either Saturday, October 29, 2005 or Sunday, October 30, 2005. Alumni living in areas without formal regional associations can form an "ad hoc association" for Wabash Day.
Wabash Day will unite Wabash Men around the country and the world, who will provide living examples of the gentlemen's rule and of the mission statement of the college—to think critically, to act responsibly, to lead effectively, and to live humanely.
Wabash Day will provide useful service to communities where Wabash men live, and it will provide a low-cost one-day, fun event that regional associations can do, thus strengthening regional associations. Wabash Day will strengthen the Wabash family because it can include family members such as spouses, children, widows, parents, and others, and because it can help the Wabash family grow by recruiting students to the college.
According to Jon Pactor '71, the author of the proposal: "Each regional association will operate with a large degree of autonomy to select, organize, and perform its own projects, subject only to a few rules of NAWM and the spirit of Wabash Day". NAWM's hope is that each group will pick a project important to their community, involve as many members of the Wabash community as possible, and document their efforts. Pactor went on to stress the idea is "to have fun while strengthening our communities, our Wabash family, and our world."
Many associations have committed to the idea. If alumni in your area want to join in, simply let the Alumni and Parent Relations office know via an email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or a call (765-361-6369) or contact Pactor at firstname.lastname@example.com or 317-636-0686.

Control engineering offers a systematic and efficient approach to optimizing the effectiveness of individually tailored treatment and prevention policies, also known as adaptive or ``just-in-time'' behavioral interventions. These types of interventions represent promising strategies for addressing many significant public health concerns. This dissertation explores the development of decision algorithms for adaptive sequential behavioral interventions using dynamical systems modeling, control engineering principles and formal optimization methods. A novel gestational weight gain (GWG) intervention involving multiple intervention components and featuring a pre-defined, clinically relevant set of sequence rules serves as an excellent example of a sequential behavioral intervention; it is examined in …

Ask a casual horse racing fan what "graded stakes earnings" are, and you're likely to get a shrug.
That's what officials at Churchill Downs, the site of the Kentucky Derby, found when they polled fans around the country last year. More than 80 percent said they had no idea how a horse qualified for the sport's biggest race.
The officials were already unhappy with the existing system, which often allowed marginal horses to join the race just because they'd won a lot of cash. Some were gaining berths based on races they'd run many months earlier, or with help from tracks backed by new casino money.
Sometimes the 20-horse field would include as many as a half-dozen entrants who many insiders believed didn't belong.
"We realized we didn't have much control over who was getting into our field," Churchill Downs spokesman Darren Rogers said.
So the track scrapped the graded stakes system and started a new one that resembles a traditional playoff schedule. This year's Kentucky Derby is the first to operate with that program, which awards points to winners of an increasingly challenging series of races.
Supporters say the system is fairer because it awards horses that distinguish themselves in the weeks leading up to the Derby.
"There are no horses back-dooring it into the race," said journalist Steve Haskin. "Here, it's, 'What have you done for me lately?'"
The new system awards points to 36 races that start in late September and continue until the week before the May 4 Derby. The last few races, considered the most elite and competitive, offer the most points.
That makes it easier and more fun for fans to follow, and requires more strategy of owners and trainers, officials say.
"It will separate the pretenders from the contenders," said Eric Wing, spokesman for the National Thoroughbred Racing Association.
One of the casualties of the new system was Shanghai Bobby. He has more than $1.7 million in earnings, the most of any in the field, most of it earned last year. Under the graded stakes system, he would have been guaranteed a spot in the Derby. But a fifth place finish in the Florida Derby on March 30 forced his owners to pull him from contention.
"If the old system was in place, he would have had the starting gate waiting for him in Louisville," Wing said. "Whereas this year, he's out in the cold."
As of late April, there were more than 20 horses on the leaderboard with enough points for a shot at the Derby. Some of those horses may be pulled by their trainers for various concern. Tie-breaking rules could turn on earnings.
That left several horses on the bubble, with just a few days before the race.
And that's the point: making sure that only the best horses run.
"We think this has the chance to be the most competitive top-to-bottom field in quite some time," Rogers said.
