Tallinn University Press publishes academic and intellectual literature. Since its establishment, the aim of Tallinn University has been to gather and transmit vital, relevant knowledge, and to support its community of academics and students. The main goals of Tallinn University Press are to tap the potential of the intellectual community associated with Tallinn University and to sustain and intensify its activity through publishing high-level academic literature.
An editorial board of twelve prominent specialists directs, coordinates and consults with the University Press. Every series has an editorial board, which sometimes includes foreign members in order to assure the high quality of publications from an international perspective. An important task of the editorial board is to select experts to review the submitted texts. Constant quality control through peer reviews ensures that only worthwhile work is published under our trademark.
We seek to realise our potential in the Estonian academic and publishing sphere, and to support the mission of Tallinn University to be an intellectual centre that provides knowledge to readers within and beyond the university.

Publishing Policy for Tallinn University Press
by Rector´s Directive No.2,
Dated 12 January 2015
Publishing Policy for Tallinn University Press
1. The fundamentals of the publishing policy
1.1. The goal of the Tallinn University Press is to become a highly regarded, academically-oriented publisher of intellectual literature. Its foreign language publications have high classification in the ETIS (Estonian Research Information System) and are distributed internationally. The Press also perceives its mission as the promotion of research, and transmission of current scientific thought from Estonia and abroad.
1.2. The Press follows in its publishing activity the internationally recognized general principles of publishing ethics, incl. Elsevier/Scopus.
1.3. The Press primarily produces scientific publications and monographs of academics affiliated with Tallinn University, compendia and monographs from other contributors, educational literature (e.g. original textbooks, translations and translated anthologies), and translations of classical literature and high-quality texts. The Press publishes monolingual original texts (original texts and first translations). Justified exceptions can be made with the consent of the appropriate series editorial board.
1.4. The publications are generally divided into specific series (Acta, Gigantum Humeris, Bibliotheca, etc.) each of which specifies on a particular content (original academic texts, original academic texts and translations mainly for educational purposes and high-quality texts mainly oriented towards a wider audience). The series share a common, distinctive design. All texts published in the series are peer reviewed.
1.5. Every series has its own editorial board. The chief academic board also serves as an editorial board of the Gigantum Humeris series. The compositions of the editorial boards may partly overlap.
1.6. The editorial boards are responsible for the selection of the publications in the series (reviewing publishing proposals, approving or rejecting these or suggesting revisions) and organisation of peer review (including proposing peer reviewers), with the goal of providing quality control over Press publications. The boards also propose publication of various compendia, monographs, and anthologies.
1.7. The layout of the Press series is systematic. Each series is colour-coded to match the subject areas, following the colour division on the University homepage. Each series also has a distinctive pattern. Individual, justified exceptions in design can be made by the decision of the chief academic board.
1.8. The Press uses a different layout for other publications. They follow the same colour-coding principle as the series and the layout is recognizable as the Tallinn University visual design.
1.9. The Press also produces and distributes publications edited and compiled in TU that meet the standards of international academic journals. The University units and research groups can also establish new periodicals under the Press. The chief academic board decides on the establishment of new periodicals.
1.10. By being primarily focused on quality, the Press aims at maintaining the price level of its production accessible to its main target group, students and more broadly to the intellectual readers´ community. For this, the Press is actively seeking supplementary funding from sources that support the publication of high-quality literature.
1.11. Fees for authors of the publications, translators, editors and authors of forewords will be mutually agreed upon.
1.12. The Press solicits feedback on its publications in academic journals, cooperates with editors of various journals and newspapers, attends fairs, and participates in various events and programmes directed towards an intellectual and academic audience.
2. Publishing process
2.1. Publishing contracts may be initiated on the basis of a proposal for a new book project or on the basis of a submitted manuscript. If a manuscript is submitted for review, it is necessary that the manuscript follow the Press's formatting guide as closely as possible. In case of original collections in a foreign language, only linguistically edited manuscripts are accepted.
2.2. All authors or clients who are requesting to publish a manuscript must complete an application form. If a press is requesting a manuscript for publishing, then the press completes the application form. Proposals or manuscripts must be submitted with an application form to the Editor-in-Chief, who will decide - in consultation with the author - which series is appropriate for the publication.
2.3. The press conducts a preliminary selection procedure. Preliminary selection criteria are in accordance with the Press's publishing policy, printing plans and capacity, quality standards, and series content. The Press may, under exceptional circumstances, accept proposals for publications, which will not be issued as part of the TU Press series.
2.4. All texts published in the Press series undergo peer-review within the Press. Two members of the editorial board of the appropriate series, or experts recommended by them, act as peer-reviewers. If a member of an editorial board of a series offers his or her own manuscript for publishing, then reviewers are appointed by the rest of the board without his or her participation. Only publications that have passed the peer review process are published in the Press series.
2.5. Where a contract has been initiated on the proposal, the Press retains the right not to publish a manuscript if two reviewers do not approve the text and/or the quality does not meet the Press's standards. A peer-reviewed project must be submitted for subsequent review as a manuscript.
2.6. The peer review process is unilaterally anonymous, and the name of the reviewer will not be made public. However, extracts of positive reviews can be used on the cover of the publication, with the permission of the reviewer.
2.7. Reviewers must use the Press's peer review form. A reviewer can recommend accepting or rejecting a proposal. A reviewer can also recommend publishing a manuscript (with the right to recommend revision), reconsider publishing it after major revision, or reject it.
2.8. If both reviewers recommend publishing a manuscript, but one of them asks for major revisions, the manuscript must be revised. If both reviewers recommend rejecting a manuscript, it will be rejected. If one reviewer recommends rejecting a manuscript and the other recommends publishing, or publishing with revisions, then the series editorial board shall make the decision. If one reviewer recommends publishing a manuscript and the other asks for major revisions, revising the manuscript does not guarantee that it will be published – the revised manuscript must obtain the reviewer's approval. The appropriate editorial board gives final approval for all manuscripts.
2.9. Disagreements that occur during the peer review process will be resolved by the appropriate editorial board.
2.10. Texts that have not undergone peer review or which do not meet the Press content and quality requirements, may be published as commissioned work. In this case the expenses are wholly covered by the client, and the text may not be published under the Tallinn University Press trademark, or with the TU Press series design. The Press also does not distribute commissioned work or publications from other publishers.
2.11. The chief academic board approves the publication of new periodicals on the basis of individual proposals.

"I have been looking forward to this for two and a half years" Jobs said. Today, "Apple is going to reinvent the phone." The phone was locked to AT&T, had only 2G EDGE Service, and launched June 29, 2007. Many stores sold out within minutes even at the price point $499 for the 4GB version and $599 for the 8GB version. It would later reach 6,000,000 + sales at the time of its discontinuation.

By Brian George
I have long been an admirer of the work of Jessica Murray, author of the terrific book "Soul-Sick Nation; An Astrologer's View of America," and host of the blog "MotherSky." Jessica is a practitioner of what she calls "Archetypal Astrology." What most impresses me is that she is able to move fluently back and forth between a macrocosmic perspective—which I sometimes see as that of a disincarnate soul, at the tail end of its involvement in a time cycle, i.e., that of a Gnostic "Aeon"—and a cutting edge awareness of key social, political, and cultural issues of the day. Over the next week or so, I will be posting a number of comments that I wrote for the forum on her essay "Beyond Irony."
Hi Jessica,
You wrote, "It must say something about our society that the use of irony has become so all-pervasive. Why do we rely on it so much in writing? Why do we frame so much of what we say with finger quotes? It strikes me that irony is essentially a self-protective mechanism, disguised as a stylish gesture. It works by holding its cards close to the vest. When we're being ironic, we allude to our point instead of throwing all of our weight behind it. We make a show of holding back our sincerity. Irony makes no claims to opening the heart, in either the speaker or the listener."
I have often had similar thoughts about a certain type of irony. If deployed as an all-purpose attitude toward the world, the subversive force of irony can quickly become boring. As the saying goes, "To a hammer everything looks like a nail." Too much hyper-self-awareness is—ironically—not that different from unconsciousness. True insight is attentive to its object, whereas the judgment of the ironist is on everything and nothing, and all judgments must inevitably confirm his/her sense of superiority.
Well, that settles that! As the agents of the City Beyond Time, we should no doubt strive to be 100% sincere.
As a poet, however, I also have a somewhat different way of looking at the issue, for, without irony, there would be no modern poetry. Not every type of irony reflects the disengagement of the slacker. In fact, irony can be one of the primary weapons that allows a poet to take on an empire, and that empowers him to move freely against overwhelming odds. It is the pin that pops the metaphysical balloon, the slingshot that takes down Goliath.
For example: I am truly in awe of some of the poetry that was written in Eastern Europe after World War II—when, for some period of time, literature itself was thought to be impossible. These writers--among them Milosz, Celan, and Herbert—give form to my intuitions as to how spiritual vision can be tempered by and integrated with a weight of historical knowledge. To all of these writers, irony was one of the primary weapons in their arsenal. To use it well was a matter of life or death.
Here is the beginning of Zbigniew Herbert's poem "Caligula Speaks":
Caligula Speaks
Among all the citizens of Rome
I loved only one
Incitatus—a horse
when he entered the Senate
the unstainable toga of his coat
gleamed in the midst
of purple-lined assassins
Incitatus possessed many merits
he never made speeches
had a stoic temperament
I think at night in the stable he read the philosophers
I loved him so much that one day I decided to crucify him
but his noble anatomy made it impossible
he accepted the honor of consulship with indifference
exercised authority in the best manner
that is not at all
he would not be persuaded toward a lasting liason
with my second wife Caesonia
thus unfortunately the lineage of centaur ceasars
was not engendered
that is why Rome fell
These writers often seem to be saying: Civilization does not automatically progress. True change does not come through politics. No technological solution can be expected to appear on the horizon.
There is often a very visceral sense of the reality of evil, of bureaucratic corruption, and of the power of the lie. At the same time, there is no easy recourse to stern moralistic finger wagging. Something altogether more mysterious is often going on—the veil between the worlds has ripped, and a wave of supernatural force has begun to transfigure common objects.
Irony here performs a function similar to that of metaphor—it is a method of linking seemingly discontinuous meanings, and of jumping between one level of reality and the next. Unlike the slacker version, this use of irony is expansive rather than contractive. It is a tool for liberation. Reading the best of Eastern European writers from this period, it is difficult for me not to view myself and my contemporaries as naive, and I look to them for clues as to how I might be possible to "begin beyond the end."
And, finally, here is Herbert's "The Envoy of Mr Cogito"—a very non-ironic statement by an otherwise highly ironic writer. In it, the author gives us direct access into the world view and sense of purpose that underlie his use of irony.
The Envoy of Mr Cogito
Go where those others went to the dark boundary
for the golden fleece of nothingness your last prize
go upright among those who are on their knees
among those with their backs turned and those toppled in the dust
you were saved not in order to live
you have little time you must give testimony
be courageous when the mind deceives you be courageous
in the final account only this is important
and let your helpless Anger be like the sea
whenever you hear the voice of the insulted and beaten
let you sister Scorn not leave you
for the informers executioners cowards—they will win
they will go to your funeral with relief will throw a lump of earth
the woodborer will write your smoothed-over biography
and do not forgive truly it is not in your power
to forgive in the name of those betrayed at dawn
beware however of unnecessary pride
keep looking at your clown's face in the mirror
repeat: I was called—weren't there better ones than I
beware of dryness of heart love the morning spring
the bird with an unknown name the winter oak
light on a wall the splendor of the sky
they don't need your warm breath
they are there to say: no one will console you
be vigilant—when the light on the mountains gives the sign—arise and go
as long as blood turns in the breast your dark star
repeat old incantations of humanity fables and legends
because this is how you will attain the good you will not attain
repeat great words repeat them stubbornly
like those crossing the desert who perished in the sand
and they will reward you with what they have at hand
with the whip of laughter with murder on a garbage heap
go because only in this way you will be admitted to the company of cold skulls
to the company of your ancestors: Gilgamesh Hector Roland
the defenders of the kingdom without limit and the city of ashes
Be faithful Go
(Translations by John and Bogdana Carpenter/ Illustration: Roman Comedy and Tragedy masks)

The spring was not flowing during the September 2002 visit and the entire pool surface was covered with duckweed.

On the north and east sides of the pool, limestone and clayey sand walls rise 25 ft (7.6 m) above the water surface. A set of wooden stairs leads down to the water on the north side of the pool. To the east are the remnants of an old cement retaining wall. The spring is surrounded by county-owned forested riparian corridor associated with the Suwannee River.

I picked this cool pattern up the other day at the local quilt shop. It was to make a project tote bag and the kit actually included all the fabrics that I am using for my Guild sewing box. So ... well of'course I had to buy it!
I decided to make it first with some fabrics from my stash, because I didn't trust myself to make it with the sewing box fabrics, figuring I would destroy the whole thing and then wind up having to buy another metre of two of fabric.
But this thing sewed up so quickly and easily and its so cool!
There are 2 pockets on the outside of the tote, for storing scissors and assorted other goodies. On the inside, you actually sew in 6 of the large size Ziploc baggies (have I mentioned how much I love Ziploc baggies?) and these are great for keeping all your threads and miscellaneous goodies needed for a project.
There are Velcro ties to hold everything all in together, and voila! you're good to go! I love it. Now that I've made it once, I feel comfortable making it with the good fabric, but I love the batiks that I used for the first one too. Well I usually have more then one project on the go at a time, so I really need several more....;-D

Today is my first Father's Day, and I find myself in a heavy place. Not because my family is in disarray, turmoil, or the like but because I realize today the weight I've finally lifted off of me. I have spent my entire life climbing out of the sunken place and today I'm finally free.
Langston Hughes' poem Mother to Son quotes, "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair." And many of us know this to be true. The reality is life is difficult for all of us in its own way. My issue has been with accepting myself, and it's been a burden I've lived with. Growing up there were so many issues with self-identity ranging from people not acknowledging I was a black man, often aggressively, to not knowing my own self worth. This isn't a heavy weight in comparison to the weight I've witnessed others carry my whole life. Hell, it isn't even close but the truth of the matter is that everything is truly relative an often times we out of humility fool ourselves that our problems aren't actually problems because of the issues we see in others. People quietly suffer out of respect for bigger issues we witness an end up in our own sunken places because of it.
This is how I realize I got in mine. I know my father, my parents are still together, I wasn't molested or abused, I didn't know my family's financial status till I was 16 years old, and I ended up graduating high school to complete a degree in higher education at Morehouse College. This is not the song a struggle to most people and in meeting people who couldn't say these things I felt my problems couldn't be as bad so I never dealt with them. How could my issues with me compare to my brothers and sisters who have grown up being abused? My answer was that I couldn't.
So I spent years struggling internally trying to find the best way possible to be me. I learned the hard way that this was something no one could just tell me, I had to build the man I became today.
This Father's Day mean so much to me because it is the culmination of years of prayer, battles, and shadow boxing with everything I have experience till now. I am a Father raising a beautiful girl that I admittedly at first didn't want to even exist. This time last year I was still wrestling with her mother on the decision to abort her life. I barely knew myself outside of being a fuck boy, and learning to enjoy the fleeting moments in my life where I wasn't broke (despite working full-time and struggling to find multiple streams of income). My whole identity was wrapped in using women as an outlet for my own lack of self awareness. This child fundamentally attacked everything that I knew I was and it's existence clashed so with my own that admittedly I spent three whole days on my couch literally destroyed. Everything that I knew about me and where my life was going had been broken by the reality of becoming a father. Responsibility for a life when I barely knew my own sent my mind into a system failure and for those three days I mentally struggled to rebuild myself.
Those three days were the best days of my life. Not because they were happy, or filled with joy but because they forced me to address the problems I had been carrying my entire life. It forced me to deal with the boy inside of me who never felt accepted or acknowledged. I had to raise him into a mature man by truly having the conversations with myself I had been distracted from. I learned who I was and wanted to be on that couch so when I got up I did everything I could to become that man. Here we are a year later and I am still building that man. The process is ongoing, but I realize how close I am to him. I have built a foundation that I am proud of, on a shaky situation that I was not sure could stand, but I've made it work. My daughter is a beautiful, intelligent, and tenacious child who I love so much. I'm raising her in complete partnership with her mother and we're making it work. This little girl saved my life because she helped me find it. Being a dad is hard work, and it's not work that people really appreciate but for me it symbolizes growth. This Father's Day represents the growth I've achieved this past year and acknowledges that I have faced my greatest fear: responsibility. I made the decision to be something, and be responsible for my life so I started climbing as best I could out of my sunken place. I'm not perfect, nor am I completely free from the sunken mentality that still grips me from time to time, but what I am now is free.
We all have our own sunken places, and we struggle with weight relative to our experiences. No one's problem is bigger or greater than your own, despite the world's view on things, your issue though it may be different still has heaviness to it and that heaviness will slowly kill you if you don't learn to lift it. We have to accept that struggles are constants in our existence and that they inevitably make you stronger if you face them. The sunken place wasn't ever meant to be a place we stayed in, but merely a stopping point to make us think. This place was created by our minds to slow us down from living a life of reckless abandon and instead open us to a singular focus, who we want to be. We learn through experience and that's all the sunken place gets us to do; feel the weight of life and decide to live it to our definition of the fullest.
A year later and I'm not completely free of the sunken place, like I said, because there's still lingering thoughts and perspectives from my old life. These moments are fleeting and few but they remind me there's still work left to do. Ain't no rest for the wicked they say, and I believe it. But I also believe that today means something not just being a parent, it means ownership. I own the man that I am today and I'm truly blessed to have gotten this far. So to those who have read this rather long and drawn out passage thank you for letting me grow and for the encouragement you have given me. I genuinely appreciate everything good and bad you've done to me, or for me because it has made me better.
Happy Father's Day to the Dad's out there.

Merchant Marketing Message:
Several years ago we had been following the healthy nutrition plan found in The Formula by nutritionists Gene and Joyce Daoust. We loved the program. Our energy levels increased, our overall feelings of wellness increased... and the pounds kept dropping.
We knew we were going to eat like this for the rest of our lives. We also knew that we were growing tired of the menus in the book. How many times can you eat the same things and stay enthusiastic about the program?
We looked for alternatives. We found, and started using the recipes from Dr. Barry Sears The Zone Diet, but soon got tired of the limited number of meals in Dr. Sears book, too.
I built the Zone Recipe Builder, and shared it with a few friends, who quickly started suggesting other tools. Four years ago I started building those additional tools, and the FormulaZone site was born.
FormulaZone is not the official Zone Diet site, but we are the original. We needed it to be easy, so we intentionally made it different from other diet sites. When you compare us to other sites and check the differences, we're confident you'll choose us!

Police should not be leaking information about the suicide attempts of Ontario residents, Privacy Commissioner Ann Cavoukian says. The issue was brought up by a Weston resident's attempt to travel to the US, and it drew international attention.
Last year Ellen Richardson was not allowed to enter the United States. Homeland Security said that she was a threat to herself or others, despite the fact that Richardson is a paraplegic middle-aged woman. The US had got ahold of her police records, which say that she had attempted suicide years ago, and they disqualified her from entering on those grounds. She missed the cruise she was hoping to take.
Now, Ann Cavoukian says that suicide threats or attempts should not be shared with US authorities unless they involve a threat to others or involve police violence.
Mike Sullivan has asked the federal government to act on the Privacy Commissioner's report.

During Elena's annual school sports day Marina and I spent several hours under the morning sun wandering around the tightly-controlled confines of the schoolyard navigating the hordes of moms and dads, grannies and grampas all vying for the best videotaping vantage points.
We were already tapped out and decided to take a break at our humble lunch spot in one of the shaded areas of the school.
Sweaty and bored, I pulled out the trusty iPod Shuffle and settled into my foldable chair, when she surprised me by asking to listen along with me. Why not? I thought, and handed over one of the ear buds. She surprised me by liking the music. Perhaps it was fluky because the Go Gos oldie "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "Vacation" happened to be next on the playlist and she instinctively liked these girl-surf-pop tunes, bobbing her head along with the beat. "We ga da beat," she said, cackling.
Then, "Lithium" by Nirvana, the loud-quiet-loud structure captivating me yet again and prompted M. to do a head bob, mimicking my own (last seen in 1992). Hmm. A budding music fan? We shall see. She later lost the ball when Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash hit our eardrums, prompting her to scrunch her nose in disapproval, remove her bud, and scamper off to watch another one of Elena's events.Such is the slow tempo to life on these early summer weekends, completely at odds with the frenzy of weekdays. Same as it ever was.
Beyond that, Crazy E. has embraced sleepovers so we were the grateful recipient of time off when she stayed over at a local chum's house. Payback came in the form of our hosting her friend the next weekend. All fine and well, but the chattiness prevented regular sleeping patterns. The next day I found out those eight-year-old girls who stay up until 0200 the previous night gabbing possess a certain kind of fury fused to a late-afternoon crankiness that is hard to deal with. Not pleasant, I can tell you.
"Ain't no damn thing perfect, son," murmurs Johnny Cash in my ears as I settle deeper into my chair. Just another summer day.

What is an Accelerated Payment?
An accelerated payment is a lump sum payment of 60% of the tuition and fees for certain high cost, high tech programs. The Veterans Administration will make accelerated payments for one term, quarter, or semester at a time. However, if the program is not offered on a term, quarter or semester basis, the accelerated payment is paid for the entire program. To qualify, you must certify that you intend to seek employment in a high tech industry as defined by the VA. Accelerated payment is paid instead of regular Montgomery GI Bill - Active Duty (Chapter 30) benefits that you would otherwise receive.
Can I receive accelerated payments for computer training and certification courses?
Yes, as long as the courses have been approved for Veteran Administration benefits.
How much might the VA pay for a computer certification course?
To determine the exact amount of your benefits you must call the Veterans Administration at 1-888-GI-BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) to speak with a Veterans Benefits Counselor.
The Veterans Administration pays for 60% of tuition and fees and 100% for certification tests under the Accelerated Payment plan.
Who qualifies for accelerated payments?
Only individuals eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill - Active Duty (Chapter 30) qualify for accelerated payments.
What programs qualify for accelerated payment?
Both degree and non-degree programs qualify. You must be enrolled in a program in one of the following categories:
- Life Science or physical science (but not social science)
- Engineering (all fields)
- Mathematics
- Engineering and science technology

- Computer-integrated manufacturing
- Material Design
- Aerospace
- Weapons
- Nuclear Technology
- Any other identified advanced technologies in the biennial Science and Engineering Indicators report published by the National Science Foundation
How do I apply for accelerated payments?
Ask your school to include you request for accelerated payment to the Veterans Administration when it sends your enrollment information to VA for processing. Your request must include your certification that you plan to seek employment in the a high technology industry.
How is my education entitlement charged for accelerated payment?
The Veterans Administration will divide your accelerated payment by the amount of your full-time monthly rate (including kickers and additional contributions) and will reduce your entitlement by the resulting number of months and days. If you do not have sufficient entitlement to cover 60% of tuition and fees, the VA will pay you based on your actual remaining entitlement.
When can accelerated payments be made?
Accelerated payments may only be made for terms or other enrollment periods that begin on or after October 1, 2002.
Can school related expenses (such as books, supplies, and living expenses) be counted as tuition and fees for accelerated payments?
No. Only the school's tuition and fees can be considered for accelerated payment.

As federal regulations increase, so do compliance concerns. In recent months, The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel has dedicated considerable coverage to compliance in varying areas of the law. This month is no exception. The May issue includes three interviews that examine, among other things, the impact these compliance concerns have on the competitiveness of U.S. capital markets. Moreover, this month's issue also includes articles on international law & trade, employment law and a Special Section on Delaware and the Southeast.
Craig Miller, vice president and general manager, Corporate Sales and Account Management, Thomson West, invites Westlaw subscribers to dig deeper into these issues through direct links to the databases noted below from The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel's Web site, www.metrocorpcounsel.com.
This month's editorial focus on international law & trade brings to the attention of in-house counsel articles addressing the vibrancy of other countries' capital markets, barriers to foreign trade imposed by U.S. laws and regulations, and FCPA compliance and other issues pertinent to U.S. companies engaged in foreign trade. These articles may be found on pages 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. In addition, this month's cover story, an interview with Christine Edwards, is part of a series of articles offering recommendations on how to improve the competitiveness of U.S. capital markets and U.S. public companies. The interview with Ms. Edwards is complemented by interviews with Michael Ryan and Richard Murray on page 5 which further express the reforms needed to sustain the U.S.'s competitiveness in the financial services industry. In the same way, a number of Westlaw resources offer in-depth information for readers interested in learning more about capital markets regulation abroad.
The treatise International Capital Markets and Securities Regulation (SECINTCAP) provides in-depth analysis of trends in securities regulation for major industrialized nations and emerging markets, by the leading securities experts, Harold Blumenthal and Samuel Wolff. Market Guide Company Financials (MKTGUIDE) provides detailed financial information on more than 12,000 U.S. public companies, in an easy-to-use template format.
The articles on pages 31, 33, 34 and 35 discuss various employment law issues affecting in-house counsel. Westlaw provides highly useful resources related to the topic. Corporate Compliance Series (CORPC-ERISA, -OSHA, -EEO), for example, provides practical guidance and sample policies and forms on ERISA, OSHA and EEO compliance. In addition the interview on page 32 is one of the topics discussed at a recent Corporate Counsel Forum on Wage & Hour Compliance. At the forum, leading in-house counsel and outside counsel experts provided invaluable information to help companies protect themselves from the increase in class action suits based on wage and hour laws. A number of guides and manuals found on Westlaw can help in-house counsel, too. Wage and Hour Law: Compliance and Practice (WHLCP) is a practical source of essential information, forms and guidance on federal wage, hour and leave laws. BNA Labor Relations Reporter: Wage and Hour Manual (BNA-WHM) lists relevant federal laws, regulations, and opinion letters in addition to an alphabetical listing of state wage and hour codes.
The Special Section on Delaware & the Southeast begins with a feature interview of Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice Myron T. Steele on Page 45. Justice Steele provides a Delaware state-law perspective on the competitiveness discussion that begins on page 1 of the May issue. Likewise, the articles on pages 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 and 51 provide in-house counsel with additional state-law perspectives on issues relevant to their practice. State-specific information on corporate law is fully searchable on Westlaw . Delaware Journal of Corporate Law and BNA Corporate Practice Portfolios: Delaware Corporation Law are just two relevant resources.

Oh my god we did it!! We made it through our very first day of work and our first day of daycare...and we're still alive and kicking. The girls don't hate me for leaving them, at least I don't think they do. They were is GREAT moods last night, lots of laughs and played so well. Thank god! I worried they'd be super cranky all night but not AT ALL! Plus, when bedtime came, no crying at all...they must have been pooped!
So all in all, life is good.
I soooo enjoyed my first day back. I felt like me again. Not that I lost myself, well, I sorta did for a bit there. But I think that's normal. But I felt human, I felt like a working person again. My brain was in use again, but now it's not just baby stuff and Treehouse, it's actually thinking about things that are not baby related. Don't get me wrong, I thought about my girls alot yesterday and of course today as well. But it was just a different feeling. A feeling I like, alot. The beginning of the beginning.
I just made the cusp for a Ipod Nano that the company was giving employees for Christmas, as the last 3 weeks counted as vacation, so therefore I was technically back from MAT leave and just on vacation...Awesome...then I got a raise, double AWESOME!!
I am thankful for a great day yesterday...and so far today has been following suite. Now, I just have to get my ass back to the gym. But my application in, so next week I'll be good to go. I can't wait. Does that sound weird, I can't wait to hit the gym...this past year hasn't been nearly as physical as I would have liked. Don't get me wrong, taking care of 2 babies...running after both, lifting and such is physical, but I would have love to get out running and walking more. So here's my chance to get back at er! Very excited!
Stay tuned for more updates. I will bare it all...including my weight...maybe. ;)
