Lawyers Continued: Summer Associates – Part II
Posted on June 5, 2021 by Thebeerchaser
(Welcome back to Thebeerchaser. Since this is a long post, if you are seeing it through an e-mail, please visit the blog by clicking on the title above to see all of the photos and the narrative is not clipped or shortened.)
In Part I of this series, I wrote about the talented Summer Associates (clerks) that my law firm (Schwabe Williamson and Wyatt) and other large law firms hire as clerks during the first and second summers they are in law school. https://thebeerchaser.com/2021/05/27/lawyers-continued-summer-associates-part-i/
(*1 Attribution for the photos not taken by Don Williams is at the end of this post.)
They are smart and motivated and the competition is intense – both among the firms who compete for the best students and among those applying. They know this opportunity is a stepping stone for a good job in their chosen field after they graduate and pass the Bar Exam.
In the last post, readers saw a compendium of the languages in which three of the classes of Summer Associates (2005 and 2006-7) were proficient, as well as prior jobs and/or occupations on their resumes before they started law school. A number had interesting work histories and waited until they had some real-world experience before they began their graduate education.
I compiled these lists in addition to the categories below as part of the full-day orientation they received in June before they started their legal work. Rather than boring them with information about law firm management which they would forget, I used the data we collected from their questionnaires. I tried to convey why they should get to know their fellow clerks and why they should feel proud about being in that group.
While they were top students, they also were well-rounded and had eclectic pursuits when not working or studying:
Backpacking, rock band; playing the violin, cello, hand-bells, piano, harmonica, oboe (second-chair in community orchestra) drums, guitar, African drums (these were not all the same clerk!), country line dancing, karaoke, country music and Latin poetry (these were from the same person) and gardening.
Ballet (ten years), horror movies, British literature, reading non-fiction and collecting classic comic books. Gourmet cooking and eating!
Since there were some lawyer-league sports, we also asked them about their athletic talent and experience:
Golf ("Law school made my game go dormant."), Notre Dame Football (This may have been watching rather than playing.), basketball, softball, tennis, cross country (University of Portland Cross County Team and ran in the Venice Marathon), skiing, snowboarding, yoga, weightlifting.
Juggling (balls and juggling sticks but not pins – we also found out if she could juggle legal assignments), Karate (all-Japan and All-American – five time Karate champion. He was also the bodyguard when they went to bars after work.). Surfing, skiing, rollerblading and mountain climbing. Cycling (rode from Spokane to Denver — Why??!)
Training to juggle legal assignments #4
Pre-trial activity #5
Higher Education Besides Law School
As I stated above, these people were motivated and a number had graduate degrees in addition to law school:
Masters Degrees in Engineering, Sociology, Education, Business Administration, Biomedical Engineering. Graduate Study at the United Nations in Geneva. Ph D in Material Sciences and Engineering (had studied at Oxford) (See narrative below on Intellectual Property candidates)
In 2002, Schwabe merged with a small Oregon Intellectual Property Firm – Columbia IP – founded by Al AuYeung, who built and managed a thriving IP Practice Group (patent, trademark, copyright, trade secrets and IP litigation) in the Schwabe Portland and Seattle offices, until his retirement this year.
Most of the other lawyers had been liberal arts majors such as Political Science or Economics with a few Business majors, etc. But these IP lawyers not only had attended law school and passed the State Bar, but were also members of the Federal Patent Bar, which required another challenging exam
Al AuYueng
In addition, besides their undergraduate degrees, most of them also had Masters and even a few PhD's in physics, computer science, engineering mathematics or chemistry, etc. For example, Al besides graduating from Santa Clara Law School, also had an MS in Engineering from Stanford and an MBA in Finance from U Cal Berkley.
I helped interview one young IP associate prospect who had actually worked as a rocket scientist before law school. At the end of the interview, I couldn't help myself and asserted with a smile, "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that you would be a good fit at this firm." Notwithstanding this embarrassing attempt at humor, he still came to work for us.
Each year at the all-attorney retreat in the fall, the lawyers and management staff from all offices would gather at some nice resort for an entire weekend with great food and drink, continuing legal education, a firm business meeting, golf, hiking and general revelry. Did I mention – also plentiful food and drink…..
After the dinner on Friday night before a band and dancing, the new associates would make their traditional introductory appearance and sing their undergraduate school fight song and relate what their most challenging college course had been.
Now the liberal arts majors would come up with something like "The Modern Intellectual Tradition: From Descartes to Derrida," or there was an Economics Major who impressed us at one retreat with "Understanding International Finance Through Game Theory and Evolutionary Stability."
With the advent of IP associates, these science and math geeks rolled off such offerings as "Formulae for Calculating Motion in One and Two Dimensions" or "Non-Equilibrium Applications of Statistical Thermodynamics." If I remember correctly, after two years we decided to forego this tradition, because it made a lot of us feel intellectually deficient.
I might add that one might think that men and women who were so erudite and left-brained would tend to be socially awkward. For example, one of the Summer Associates headed for the IP Group had even "developed a method to manufacture micro-electric mechanical systems using stereo lithography."
Rather than being interpersonally inept, however, the exact opposite was almost always the case. This is another plaudit for Al AuYueng, who had the wisdom to hire people who were not only cerebral, but also personable.
So, it was always enjoyable to have a beer with these lawyers who would be talking about concepts such as the radius of gyration, angular momentum or foreign trademark registration with their clients at their desks in the afternoon, but then were great conversationalists while raising a mug after work.

Volunteer and Civic Activities
These young people were getting into a profession where advocacy for others is a key part of the job and in which pro-bono work is a tradition – and they came well prepared. They had done work in the following positions or organizations:
Advocate for immigrant families, Meals on Wheels driver, domestic violence counselor, Habit for Humanity, homeless advocacy, classroom tutor, Peace Corps, Vista, AmeriCorps, Young Life, UNICEF, Legal Aid, volunteer for early childhood development, political campaign for city council candidate, pediatric medical clinic, men's shelter, animal shelter, Boys and Girls Club, soup kitchen.
Wining and Dining Opportunities While Clerking
Part of the recruitment process was interacting with the summer associates over food or drinks at local bistros and watering holes. We had asked on the questionnaires for their food preferences and also what they wanted to avoid. The responses for preferences included breakfast food at all times of the day, anything with chocolate, anything with beef and seafood.
Conversely, one clerk emphasized that he could not eat shell fish and detested anything with beef. One was also emphatic about what everyone should avoid based on his 45-page paper for bio-ethics class entitled, "Cloned Animal Products in the Human Food Chain."
We tried to make a good impression with these kids and it was natural for the lawyers to take them to the more elite restaurants. Besides, the firm was picking up the check (one reason that many lawyers went out to more lunches and dinners during the summer than any other time during the year….).
Now Portland has a wealth of great bistros downtown, but to our Director of Recruiting's chagrin, I decided for a change of pace (and style) when I took the clerks out. Rather than a popular spot like Jake's Famous Crawfish or lunch in one of the high-rise office building grilles, we'd walk two blocks to a little hole-in-the-wall (below ground) Middle Eastern restaurant named Mummy's.
It's owned by two fascinating Egyptian brothers, Phillip and Ghobvial Moumir who had operated for many years in the same location.
Change of pace…
For the full review, check out my 2016 post-retirement blog post entitled "Mummy's – a (Buried) Portland Treasure." in which I Beerchased with two of my favorite and now retired Schwabe partners, Brian (Brain) King and Margaret Hoffmann, who shared my affinity for this eatery.
There were usually no more than a handful of patrons and the brothers always directed the students and me to the same table for some of their reasonably priced and really delicious cuisine..
Brian and Margaret
Phillip and Ghobvial Moumir
Good falafel and superb martinis
And I had a smile on my face when the Recruiting exec came to my office after the first visit and said, "Don, they raved about Mummy's and how they want to return again before they leave this summer!" Word spread and I always had requests from a number of clerks each summer to include them on the list for Mummy's.
A Final Summer Associate Success Story
It was early in 2002 and some of the Summer Associate candidates had come to the Portland office for interviews. I walked down to our Recruiting Director's office. She was on the phone and a male candidate (Jeff Hern from Willamette University Law School) was standing by her desk waiting for her to finish a telephone conversation.
He was holding his resume, so I asked if I could glance at it. Our conversation went like this after I had reviewed it:
Williams: I see that you graduated from Madeira High School (a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio) and were inducted into its Athletic Hall of Fame. I lived in Madeira from the time I was four until we moved to Oregon when I was eleven. Did you know the Nelson Kennedy family?
Hern: Yes, as a matter of fact, his son was a teammate on the MHS Basketball Team.
Williams: Nelson was my best friend in grade school which was the last time I saw him. I've talked to him once or twice since because he was two classes ahead of my younger brother, Garry, at West Point. Nelson was one of the reasons Garry ended up at the Military Academy and they see each other quite often.
I gave him my card, wished him luck and told him to stay in touch. A few days later, I received a nice letter acknowledging our visit and stating that he was impressed with Schwabe. I then talked to our Recruiter and told her that I hoped we made an offer to him.
From that point on, I continued to lobby for him as the competition was stiff for clerk slots. (I also reminded her that besides having good grades and recommendations, our Lawyer League Basketball Team could use Jeff's experience as a good power forward.)
When I got his letter, I talked to my wife, Janet, that night at dinner and our conversation went like this:
Williams: Remember the guy from Willamette Law School I told you about who lived in Madeira and knew the son of my best friend. Well, he sent a great letter, which I think reflects well on him.
Janet: (laughing) Yeah, he's smart! I can see him going back to Willamette and saying to his classmates. "Have I got an inroad at Schwabe. I met this old guy who is the COO. I'm writing a letter to get him on my side. I think his generation likes that kind of thing."
Jeff was hired in 2004 and flash forward seventeen years and he's now an Equity Partner at Schwabe. He has a robust practice and represents manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and food and beverage companies in litigation, federal, and state court proceedings from early alternative dispute resolution through trial.
He has considerable experience defending in product liability, tort actions, commercial disputes and water rights adjudications.
The young counselor also has developed a specialty in licensing issues for food and beverage companies and was very helpful with pro-bono advice when I was assisting with the licensing of the Benedictine Brewery in Mount Angel. (I told Jeff, he owed me for lobbying on his behalf and pointed out that his athletic ability was the deciding factor in his selection.)
Jeff and his wife, Lindsay, (Janet and I went to their wedding.) now have three beautiful daughters and he didn't disappoint us with his elbow jumper during the competition in the other court in which he showed his skill. His batting average in softball was also quite high.
I'll end this story by adding another highlight of my friendship with Jeff. Of course, when Jeff got hired, I called Nelson (mentioned above) – who at Miami Hills Elementary, I nicknamed "Moose" because of his size.
We agreed that it was time to reunite after forty-six years and he flew out to Oregon for several days. He, Jeff and I skied at Mt. Hood and I followed up with a visit to Cincinnati five years later when I was there for a Legal Management conference.

You had me at "Derrida" – shades of literary theory! And then clinched it with Mummy's. Loved that place. Downed many an icy beverage on hot summer days…You're having fun writing all this and the rest of us are having fun reading it.

Thanks so much for your comment, Molly. And why doesn't it surprise me that you knew and loved Mummy's. Yes, after writing boring management memos for years, Thebeerchaser is a fun journey.

Not too long ago, we mentioned that Sky was set to remake 60s cult classic The Prisoner, starring ex-Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston, with writing duties falling with Bill Gallagher (writer of gritty dramas such as Clocking Off). Well, the film industry could be about to overshadow them.
According to Variety. Universal Pictures is near a deal for big-time Hollywood Christopher Nolan to direct a feature film version of The Prisoner. The Plan is for Nolan to direct a bad modern day "contemporized" version of The Prisoner. Previous credits for the director include "Memento" and "Insomnia," while scriptwriters Janet and David Peoples wrote "Twelve Monkeys" together.
As usual, we expect little of it, but would like to be pleasantly surprised.

President-elect Joe Biden receives first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine
By Jordan Smith and Kelly Hayes

President-elect Joe Biden received his first round of the COVID-19 vaccine Monday on live television and urged Americans to get the shot as it becomes available to them, part of a growing effort to convince the public that the inoculations are safe.
The president-elect received a dose of Pfizer vaccine at a hospital not far from his Delaware home, hours after his wife, Jill Biden, did the same.
"I'm ready," said Biden, who was administered the dose at a hospital in Newark, Delaware, and declined the option to count to three before the needle was inserted into his left arm. "I'm doing this to demonstrate that people should be prepared when it's available to take the vaccine. There's nothing to worry about."
Biden praised the health care workers and said President Donald Trump's administration "deserves some credit getting this off the ground." And Biden urged Americans to wear masks during the upcoming Christmas holiday and not travel unless necessary.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized two vaccines for emergency use this month in the U.S. The first, developed by Pfizer-BioNTech, began arriving at hospitals and long-term care facilities last week and started being used. A second vaccine produced by Moderna Inc. and the National Institutes of Health received approval Dec. 18 and also started arriving at sites nationwide.
Top lawmakers began receiving doses of the vaccine publicly, including Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in an effort to convince Americans that the vaccines are safe and effective against COVID-19.
Former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have committed to doing the same.
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will receive her first vaccine dose next week. According to FOX News, the vaccinations were being staggered to prevent Biden and Harris from developing potential side effects at the same time.

Trump has not said when he intends to get the vaccine. He tweeted earlier this month that he was "not scheduled" to take it, but said he looked "forward to doing so at the appropriate time."
The White House has said he is still discussing timing with his doctors.
Trump was hospitalized with COVID-19 in October and given an experimental monoclonal antibody treatment that he credited for his swift recovery. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory board has said people who received that treatment should wait at least 90 days to be vaccinated to avoid any potential interference.
"When the time is right, I'm sure he will remain willing to take it," White House spokesperson Brian Morgenstern echoed Friday. "It's just something we're working through."
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, however, offered a different explanation for the delay. She told reporters last week that Trump was holding off, in part, "to show Americans that our priority are the most vulnerable."
"The president wants to send a parallel message, which is, you know, our long-term care facility residents and our frontline workers are paramount in importance, and he wants to set an example in that regard," she said.
The first wave of vaccinations across the country are being reserved for health workers and elder-care patients, with hundreds of millions more shots needed over the coming months to protect most Americans.
To date, nearly 18 million Americans have contracted the virus, and more than 317,000 people have died from COVID-19 in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University.
This story was reported from Atlanta and Cincinnati. The Associated Press contributed.

Samsung D500 was a giant leap for the company of Samsung, and now the majority of today middle-class and high-end phones are created in the image and likeness of it. Almost a year after this very model comes to the market in a classical form-factor, with another price correspondingly and a bit higher functionality. The main revision is FM-radio appeared, added TransFlash connector with a hot change capability. The X700 turned out well-balanced and what is the main consistent in design.
The size fits average value for this class (108x43.7x19.4 mm), and the weight also seemed normal (95 g). Black colour became as current and silvery. Here the body is of black velvety plastic (soft touch), and only side surfaces are silvery. This traditional combination looks the best as the practice implies. The body material is not easily soiled, though fingerprints stay and are seen in certain lighting conditions. Fingerprints and prints of neck are mainly noticeable on a dull glass covering the display. The toning matches the body colour, which is both its advantage and disadvantage. The marking of the device is close to other devices with similar protective glass, for instance, the same D500.
The advantages of the model include consistent design. Those who managed to hold it in hands noted that it both suits an arm of a businessman and a student. The model is omnivorous in this term, which raises its chances for success. And this very parameter often defines the fate of the phone.
The assembly quality is high, and all the parts fit each other well, the battery (it is also the back of the phone) fastening rouses no cavils (a slight backlash in vertical, which is not felt in hands). Too deepened side buttons are rather disadvantages; they do not project from the body almost. This makes discomfort when pressing and you'll have to put extra effort.
The keypad layout is terrace-like, which allows normal ergonomics with relatively narrow body. The keys are backlit in white, which is seen in various conditions. The navi pad is compact in vertical line, which prevents from comfortable work with it. A browser button also serving as an OK one is inscribed into it.
Stereoloudspeakers are seen as small gaps in the top part of each side. Unlike to other models they are merging with the body. It would seem the manufacturer should have stressed their presence, but still here everything is done for the sake of strict design. And mainly that is right. The loudspeaker volume is enough, but not as high as on larger models (the very loudspeakers are of another construction there). In this parameter the model takes an intermediate position between classical handsets with one loudspeaker special for calls (in contrast to the main one) and phones with fully-functional stereoloudspeakers (like Motorola E398 and Samsung X800).
The screen is standard fort he latest generation by Samsung, that is 262K TFT with the resolution of 176x220 pixels (31x39 mm). The quality of the picture reaches the level of Sharp and Motorola, and the toning gives better screen behaviour n the sun, though the picture is not as bright. It is fully readable in the sun. Up to 6 text lines are 3 service ones can be held on the screen (in SMS mode - up to 8 text lines). The font size is larger than average, which helps reading text with comfort even to ones with poor eye sight. At the same time, the font is thinner when reading SMS, which causes problems to those with poor eyesight.
A coupled volume button is placed on the left side surface. And a miniUSB connector for connecting a stereoheadset, which is closed with a plastic shutter. A camera button is a bit below, and a TransFlash slot is in the very bottom. Here the catch is fixed in another way, which causes problems to people with short nails. Or you'll have to use some sharp item to hock the catch. Hot card change is supported, and the device divides the memory card into folders in a strict order. At the same time, music and other files can be saved in own folders, but you should use predefined folders for that (otherwise the device will buzz at requesting own folders, and no obvious reasons for that are observed).
A strap hole is placed on the top end, and an interface connector (old series, narrow) covered with a shutter fixed to the body is on the bottom.
The battery is 800mAh Li-Ion. As the manufacturer claims, it is capable of 220 hours in the standby mode and up to 5 hours in the talk one. In Moscow networks the handset averagely worked for 2.5 days with 45 minutes of talks and up to 30 minutes of using other functions. Working with the memory card will considerably shorten the battery life, so, listening to the player for 3 hours and 20 minutes of talking on the phone will give only about a day. Listening to the radio influences approximately the same way. Average user will have the device working about 2 days with moderate use. The max working time is three days, which is reachable with extremely little use of extra functions and little calls. The battery will completely recharge in 1.5 hours.
The menu organization is typical for today Samsung's phones, it's a 3x3 matrix with animated icons and only one menu view. Number navigation using number series is supported. All the submenus are lists and shifting between the submenus is possible by pressing the left or right on the navi pad. You can assign personal functions chosen from the list to the navi button. In general the menu division is quite logical and navigation is not a problem.
The device provides with 35 MB of dynamical memory shared by all the applications, the presence of memory card allows paying no attention to a modest size of internal memory for today. Though, one should understand buying a memory card will become his preliminary task, since it's not included into the kit.
Phonebook. By pressing the right soft key, one can obtain the contacts in a form of a list containing all the files both from the phone's and the SIM-card memory. The first name in the list is backlit by default and the number is shown in the status bar (there is a special sign for numbers from a SIM-card). There is a fast search by first letters of a name; the phone can hold more than twenty of those for any possible language. By pressing the OK key, you enter in the view menu of a single file where you may see a small icon in case the name is matched with the image. Any graphic file or the pictures of your own may be used as such image. Up to five phone numbers of various types (cell, office, home, fax, etc.) may be kept for a name with one number as the main contact (it would become the first one by default). The margins are strictly fixed and there may be not two cell phone numbers entered. On the other hand, SMS/MMS can be sent to any number from the phone book once chosen.
Names are displayed in the way you entered them, for example, if you entered Eldar Murtazin, it is displayed exactly in this manner. The length of each line is 20 symbols for any of the available languages. You may opt to alter the language while inserting the text as well.
Files in different languages are sorted out according to a rule - first it will be all files in the local language (Russian, for example), and then those in English. This is rather convenient and habit forming. Taking into account an option of fast language change during the search, it becomes clear that the files in different languages do not impede the work with this phone.
Let us return to the information entered for one name. Besides phone numbers, an e-mail address and a little text memo can be recorded. Any music file as well as composed Mp3's can be chosen as a ring tone for the name. The phone offers three groups of subscribers and one 'out of any group' category. The needed number of groups, the ring tones and the pictures for them can be created very easily.
Up to 1000 names with all the data can be saved in the phone's memory. Even if all the available lines are not used, the number of names to be saved would remain a thousand. It is possible to indicate in the settings where the new numbers should be kept by default. There is an option of moving files from the SIM-card although not vice versa. According to the developers, PC is the best means of synchronization, MS Outlook in particular. Any file in the form of SMS/MMS, mail message or other text file can be sent quickly through Bluetooth and IrDA to another device. There are no problems with delivery and the file being transmitted to another device is precisely decoded without any trouble.
New files can be entered only through the main menu; the first soft key always calls for the name list only. You can create your own morning coat; its format would be the one of a regular file from the phone book.
When receiving a call, a picture is not displayed on the full screen, but only on a part of it (approximately 120x140 pixels).
Call lists. Up to twenty phone numbers are displayed in each list. There is a combined list of all the last calls with an icon indicating a call type. Tilting the scroll key horizontally, you may switch quickly from one list to another. The date and the time of the call (it's duration is not kept) can be seen for separate files. As always, the overall time of the calls and their prices can be viewed in this menu (this service has to be installed).
Now missed calls from one number and dialed one after another are summed up. A number of calls is shown in the list opposite to a phone number in the list. Detailed view of calls shows time for each call, which is comfortable.
Applications. Java World is the first menu item; up to four MB of memory are available in the phone for various programs. This is a separate memory allotment and is used for Java only. MIDP 2.0 version allows the use of the graphic reach and three-dimensional games. There are three games preinstalled in the phone - Forgotten Warrior, Freekick, ArchAngel. In the first game you walk around various labyrinths, fight with warders. The game is familiar due to personal computers and is rather curious. The second game is a soccer simulator where the main task is to score a goal into the opponent's gate. Various conditions, especially the wind, the goalkeeper's behavior, the game is interesting. The third game is plainer, that is a typical arcade, you need to destroy all the enemy's planes and escape their fire.
MP3 player. An integrated mp3 player supporting accidental track reproduction, both sequential and cyclic, is available in the phone. Mp3 files can be downloaded into the phone both directly through Bluetooth and through a synchronization program. Files may be of various names and tags (in Russian language as well!). The bit rate of the files is not that important since the phone accepts all the possible formats.
The name of the track playing is displayed as well as the overall number of different composition. An equalizer is of an entertaining nature; there are no separate settings. The tracks can be played through the stereo headset as well as through the speakerphone. The volume has ten levels. The user is welcome to create play lists of his/her own. The player is neither worse or better than by other manufacturers. Everything is rather plain.
Dictaphone. You can record up to several hours of voice memos with the number of files being unlimited. The time restrictions for one recording are set by a user and can vary from 30 seconds to one hour in duration. All the files are kept in a separate folder in the memory. The dictaphone cannot record a conversation, since it only works in stand-by mode. Two types of equalizers are offered in the settings with one of them meant for noisy surroundings. The recorder can function well during lectures, conferences and presentations. The phone is a partial substitute for a digital tape recorder.
Alarm clock. The phone is equipped with three alarm clocks. One is meant for mornings and can be set for selected weekdays, however, that is typical of the two others also. For each of the alarm clocks there is a selection of five melodies although mp3 compositions cannot be used here. It is up to a user to indicate in the settings whether the phone would turn on automatically in the time of the event or not.
With a converter, you can operate with different units of measurements as well as with the currencies.
FM-radio. Up to 30 stations may be kept in memory and Pop up Alert is present along with some kind of an alarm clock playing from the radio. The quality of the radio is decent and, subjectively, the radio is better than in a low-end Samsung X140.
File manager. A simple file manager, which allows viewing standard folders and copying files (both one and several files only in the current folder). Here are all the files such as music, pictures, video and sounds. All the uploaded files get here. The disadvantage is files sometimes are not displayed in the list immediately, you need to leave the menu and enter it again.
Messages. Working with different types of messages is done through separate submenus. Let us begin with short messages. Up to 200 messages can be saved in the phone's memory; the phone supports the EMS standard compatible with Nokia Smart Messaging. The support of various encodings chosen by a user (GSM or Unicode) is a very nice feature here. The black list (no messages from the entered there numbers are shown) containing up to 10 numbers is a unique feature. T9 functions very well and is quick and easy to use.
Mail client. POP3/SMTP boxes and several tracking files are supported. Besides the title downloading, the phone can receive the letter itself. As for attachments, only the graphic files (GIF, JPEG) are supported. When sending a letter, you can attach a picture from the integrated camera to it. Overall, the mail client is nice although it does not stand out with an immense number of functions. There is also an option of creating templates. A restriction put on the attachment size is 300 KB, which prevents from sending max resolution photos taken with the integrated camera.
Organizer. Up to 400 events of four types - meeting, affair, anniversary and others, can be saved in the phone's memory. The day and the time as well as its end are indicated for each file. A signal can be set for the interval during which it has to go off; repetitive events are available for setting.
The weekly and the monthly calendar are very convenient with each type of the event having its own color.
Settings. That is traditional that you are allowed to choose font colour in the standby mode, protect any section of the phone with a password (messages, short messages, organizer and so on). You may set the time for backlighting on and its brightness. Themes are absent in the phone and they are replaced by Skins. There are four of them and two of them allow changing not only a colour scheme but a header also, it gets roundish.
Bluetooth. Such profiles as FTP, Headset, Handsfree, Basic Printing, Object Push are supported. The realization is not ideal, and is mainly oriented on working with sound and transmission of data to a PC. Low compatibility with other devices.
There are about 5 different sounds for a shutter and the sound may be turned off at all then taking photos won't draw everybody's attention. A default file name, the sensitivity of the matrix (Auto, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400) may be set. I'd recommend using an Auto mode because it works correctly mostly. The difference between sensitivity modes is not felt in usual conditions. You won't see any changes on a real photo. For example, look at these three photos of the fallen leaves in the rain, the brightness is changed little. It's curious that is a rainy or a foggy weather the automatics mechanism doesn't work correctly from the first seconds, adjustment takes time (about 3-4 seconds, the contrast and colour changes are seen on the screen).
A point focus function that may be used in the majority of modes appeared. The quality of the photos gets higher especially in the conditions when the scene is lighted not even.
The screen of the phone serves as a viewfinder, using a navi button you may change the contrast level and use zoom. When the resolution is maximum, the zoom function is turned off automatically. The picture may be mirrored on the screen using side buttons. When shooting one should remember the photo is taken with a delay of about a second, first the focus appears on the screen and then the photo is taken. This process needs getting used to.
There is a number of effects in the phone that may be applied either during a shooting process or while postediting. As for me, the second variant is more acceptable just like applying frames to the photos. We'll just name the effects and you may get acquainted with them in a separate archive (Black & White, Negative, Sepia, Emboss, Sketch, Orange, Aqua, Red focus, Yellow focus, Blue focus). The last three effects distinguish the main colors of the composition but the function is middling in the majority of cases.
There is no any limit on the duration of the record and everything depends on the free memory. Specially for MMS a recording mode that doesn't allow to exceed 100 KB is provided. The video quality is below average and is typical of the previous generation phones. The handset writes no mpeg4 clips and uses 3GP. Though, it plays well mpeg4 files.
The model causes no trouble reproducing the sounds during a conversation. Voice Clarity technology is applied, which can be turned off or activated during a call. In fact that is a usual equalizer necessary only in bad connection conditions, when you hear metallic sounds or wheezes clearly (a very rare situation). The volume of 64-tones call signal is high and fits the level of other models by Samsung, though looses to some Pantech models. As compared with other makers the volume seems higher. The vibrating alert is not very strong at the same time, the trembling is frequent and slight, can be missed. The signal variants do not include vibra with sound, only vibra first and then a melody. Many people really care this parameter and consider it important.
Restricted work of Bluetooth refers to disadvantages, in particular, work with voice functions, voice transmission is perfect, but contacts synchronization with other devices is almost impossible (we mean not PCs but other phones and smartphones). Also working with car speakerphone kits is impossible practically, only the latest kits support Samsung phones, and at that in restricted mode. Old devices do not work with the X700 at all. You should understand, though, working with a headset will bring no problems and synchronization with PC is possible good, though the connection is unstable often.
The model supports EDGE and a corresponding sign appears when reaching the coverage zone (or a GPRS icons shines). When connected via Bluetooth or a cable, the handset can be used as EDGE-modem. IrDA is refused traditionally for the latest models by Samsung.
The camera seems average for the current solutions, though is quite adequate in its class. Video recording capabilities are optional due to a very modest quality.
Good realization of a speakerphone should be mentioned, though the microphone is absent (voice records are recorded only in the standby mode). There is no voice dialing which crosses over its capabilities when working with headsets (on the other hand, listening to the radio is possible only with a wire headset).
Traditionally the question of memory overflow when saving photos or video is not solved. The handset offers erasing something from memory at your attempt to save a new photo, you take a necessary step and a message appears again. Then the file stays in the memory, but working with the Gallery makes problems, as well as copying of files to a PC. This problem is typical of all the latest company models.
The shipments are to start in the middle of September, the model will be sold for 300-320 USD. The most of the price is built by the Samsung trademark, though the model is very interesting also. The nonoptimal price/quality ratio is explained with the absence of typically business functions but the presence of youth capabilities - radio, mp3 player. So, the model only pretends to be a businessman and truly is a strong youth solution. This discrepancy of design and filling may confuse but not scare away. Let's see at the X700's rivals. First, Siements CX75 comes to my mind. It possesses almost all the functions of the X700 and costs less. But for less money you'll have worse design with cheaper body material, no headset in a kit (you'll have to search and buy extra), and no radio. The camera quality of the Siemens' phone is worse, however, organizer, Java (download not only over the air, unlike the X700), a phonebook are considerably better. The screen and polyphony win over Samsung X700, and both models lack voice functions.
Sagem X8 can be considered the second rival. The model is interesting in all the parameters, but looses in the body size and the trademark popularity. Working with a memory card is worse than in Samsung X700. The solution is interesting but niche, those who treat buying a phone reasonably should have a closer look at it.
The third rival device is Nokia 6230i losing to the Samsung's solution in the screen, partly polyphony (though, the moment is arguable, it's a matter of taste), and a memory slot realization. At the same time, Nokia's solution is interesting for the phonebook, working with Java-applications, more compatibility with Bluetooth devices, the presence of a dictaphone and voice dialing. The device belongs to high-class, which tells positively on its image.
Here are all the rivals for Samsung X700, though we still may mention Sony Ericsson K750. This model is a leading phone in this segment on the market, and unwillingly all the makers head for it. Comparing the models seems senseless; Sony Ericsson K750 will act as a rival only with a serious fall of the price (it has happened in Europe) and high price for Samsung X700 (possible in case of deficiency) at first.
So, finally, we have a good phone in an uncustomary form-factor for Samsung. The device isn't ideal having some disadvantages, though they are unlikely to be noticed by the target group. Positioning the handset as a renewed version of the D500 seems wrong, since technologically that is based on Samsung E730. And ideologically it starts a new family of devices. The idea is naive, Samsung X700 is to become one of the most wide-spread devices of its kind, and that means the prices will change very interestingly, the life circle will be the maximum (the minimal price for the end of trajectory of about 200 USD in retail, a year and a half after the sales start).

"If someone had told me when I was growing up North Red Deer that I would own four dealerships, one of which is located in the area where I used to deliver newspapers on horseback, I would have said they were crazy". Says Red Deer's Gary Moe. "It has been an amazing experience and in looking back even through the rough times I can appreciate how fortunate we have been".
Moe's working career began early at time when his North Red Deer neighbourhood was its own enclave across the river from the city of the same name. "It was a good place to grow up" he says. "Lots of freedom and plenty of room to roam. I can remember delivering the local paper on horseback and riding in spur-of-the-moment gymkhanas and rodeos not far from today's Hyundai Dealership."
His introduction to the world outside Red Deer came early, when at 15 he left for the logging camps of Prince George, B.C. After spending 12 years in the rough and ready world of a logger, Moe worked for a series of dealerships, beginning his career in New Westminster, B.C., Calgary and then Kipp Scott Pontiac in Red Deer, before opening Gary Moe Motors on Red Deer's Southhill. In 1988 Gary and his wife Susan opened the General Motors Franchise called Passport International Automobiles. Susan joined Gary, bringing her 20 years of experience in the banking industry. She was a natural fit in the Business Office and wore many hats in growing their business. Then in 1991 when General Motors launched Saturn, they got in on the ground floor as the only Saturn dealership in central Alberta. In July 2002 the Gary Moe Auto Group opened Gary Moe Mazda in Red Deer's Gasoline Alley. And then in October 2003 added Gary Moe Hyundai. In July 2008 Gary Moe Volkswagen was added to the group. In December 2015 Gary Moe Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram was added to the group. In 2019, the Gary Moe Group expanded their operations with the acquisition Milestone Mazda in Lethbridge.
As proud as they are though, of the Gary Moe Auto Group Moe is prouder of his family the he has, with his loving wife Susan at his side, two sons Dean and Eric. Dean and Eric are a strong part of the Auto group and have joined him in the management of the company. Both men come by the automotive gene honestly. They both have attended Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario each earning a Bachelor of Applied Business-Automotive Marketing and both graduated from National Automobile Dealers Academy in Washington, D. C.
The Moe family and Gary Moe Auto Group are an integral part of the Central Alberta business community and have and continue to give back to the community that has meant so much to their success. They are strong supporters of the Red Deer Food Bank, SPCA, local sporting events and teams among many other Red Deer organizations. "It's important to appreciate how fortunate we are to be able to live where we do and be able to do what we do, says Moe. And with that success comes a responsibility to give back"
We think that it is crucial when it comes supporting local and buying local. Through out the years we have seen many small businesses go under during these economic hardships, families that have worked so hard and put money back into our community, fail.
We have noticed the last couple years there has been a trend in supporting local, and we could not be more appreciative of this. Not only in growing our name, but other businesses thriving as well, some companies have been fortunate others have struggled to keep their doors open. Though at times we struggle, there are times that we do very well, and it is all thanks to our loyal customers.
The Moe family is always eager to donate, focusing on children and animals. Supporting sports activities are so important to Gary Moe, you might see a couple billboards around the rinks within Innisfail, Blackfalds, Clive and Red Deer just to name a few.
As an avid runner Gary believes that keeping active is so important and holds an even more important roll for children. The Humane Society is another association that the Moe's hold high in regard. Often animals get over looked, but they feel so strongly toward. The Red Deer food bank is another place they like to donate, every year around Christmas, the whole auto group donates $2000 that's $500 per store worth of food & supplies, along with other donations through out the year.

Why did Michael Weatherly leave 'NCIS'?
by The Frisky May 7, 2019
Real fans of NCIS have their favorites. Some of the most loved characters were Abby Sciuto, played by Pauley Perrette, Ziva David, played by Cote de Pablo and Tony DiNozzo, played by Michael Weatherly. Each one of them left the show for a specific reason, but not many people know why Michael decided to make this move. Keep reading to find out what we know about this!
How much time did Michael Weatherly spend playing Tony DiNozzo in NCIS
Michael has appeared in 306 episodes of this show. He first started playing Tony in 2003, and the first episode was titled "Yankee White." His last appearance was in 2016 in the episode titled "Family First."
Weatherly's favorite NCIS episode
Even though he told the Parade magazine that he has several favorite episodes, the best one is titled "Truth or Consequences" and it is the first episode of season 7. He liked it so much because it gives viewers a review of the background of all the characters.
Why Weatherly left NCIS
Source: The Cheat Sheet
Michael started thinking about leaving the show after the actress Cote de Pablo decided to do so. However, he didn't want to rush this decision.
After he left NCIS, he acted in the CBS legal drama called Bull. The reason for this is that he wanted to do something new and different. He said that he was burnt out by NCIS and that he was ready for new challenges.
Although Michael needed this change, he knew that many people would have a problem accepting his decision.
"I was realistic enough to know that initially no one would believe that I was leaving," Weatherly said. "Because what maniac would leave the No. 1 show in the world in total viewers? But I am that maniac."

In September 2014: Nine Media Activists Killed, Two kidnapped and arrested, and Four injured
– Killing: SNHR documented the killing of nine media activists as follows:
– The Syrian regime: killed seven media activists including three media activists who died under torture inside the Syrian regime detention centers.
– Extremist armed groups: ISIS killed one foreign journalist while another media activist was killed by unidentified armed group.
– Arresting and kidnapping: Two cases of kidnapping and arrested were recorded; the Syrian regime arrested a media activist while ISIS kidnapped a foreign journalist.
– Injuries: Four injuries were documented; all of which were caused by the Syrian regime.
Syria has become one of the most dangerous working environments for media activists in light of the ongoing armed conflict. Crimes targeting media activists are being increasingly perpetrated amid a complete and blatant impunity. Media activists are not only being harassed, pursued, arrested, kidnapped, or killed but are also being used as a leverage to gain political advantages, like what ISIS is doing of killing and detaining foreign journalists, or for a substantial ransom.

March 20th, 2020. Friday.
A day I will never forget.
On this day we did no work, but we were all in the office. A day we'd planned for but never really thought would happen.
Desks were cleared and cleaned, Lockers were emptied and bags packed. Sets of keyboards and computer mice were distributed alongside cables, monitors and, for those who wanted them, a chair. We were generally quite upbeat and the mood was light but we knew it was a serious thing we were doing and that we didn't know when we were coming back.
We'd been planning for a few different eventualities as we read about the different ways Covid was affecting people and communities. We'd planned for different ways we'd be able to work in the office and at home, at different times and in different configurations across the multiple teams, but the thought of a total lockdown was one that only became reality in the last few days running up to the Friday.

Our real enemies are the people who make us feel so good that we are slowly, but inexorably, pulled down into the quicksand of smugness and self-satisfaction.

Short for dark Internet, in file sharing terminology, a darknet is a Internet or private network, where information and content are shared by darknet participants anonymously. Darknets are popular with users who share copy protected files as the service will let users send and receive files anonymously — that is, users cannot be traced, tracked or personally identified. Usually, darknets are not easily accessible via regular Web browsers.
ATTACK : Attackers Took Shots at Wi-Fi Network at Black Hat
by Brian Prince
It should come as no surprise that at a security conference called 'Black Hat' there would be a fair amount of shenanigans going on over the WLAN network.
According to Aruba Networks, which provided the Wi-Fi network at the conference last month in Las Vegas, attackers were up to their usual tricks. The company tracked and analyzed all attempted attacks throughout the event.
Here is what they found:
BLACKHAT 2009 STATS:
Security stats:
9 suspected rogue access points were detected.
175 attempts by a wireless user to access the Aruba mobility controller were blocked by the Aruba firewall.
23 impersonation attacks were detected.
71 non-Blackhat access points were detected.
154 denial-of-service attacks were detected.
In some ways, the numbers were an improvement from 2008; in some ways not. For example, fewer rogue access points were detected this year. On the other hand, there were 130 more denial-of-service attacks detected in 2009. Check out these numbers:
Each day there were between 10-15 rogue APs detected (rogue defined as an AP that was advertising the conference SSID of "BlackHat").
49 users attempted to connect to rogue APs and were blocked by RFprotect, which generated 709 shielding actions
221 attempts by a wireless user to ARP poison the default gateway were blocked by the Aruba firewall.
140 port scans (nmap or similar) from wireless users to other wireless users were detected and blocked by the Aruba firewall.
57 non-Blackhat APs were detected
24 denial of service attacks were detected. The average duration of each attack was 24 seconds.
The stats are a reminder that whether you are at a security conference or at a local Starbucks, it is best to keep your guard up.
CHINA : Hacker Schools Become Big Business
By Matthew Harwood
http://www.securitymanagement.com/news/china-hacker-schools-become-big-business-006017
Long known as a prominent source of cyberattacks worldwide, China has seen the emergence of online training schools that teach students the skills necessary to either be a network defender or a cybercriminal.
These "hacker schools," as they're known, are also big business, generating $34.8 million last year, reports China Daily.
Students can enroll in online classes for as little as a few hundred yuan.
While some schools advertise themselves as training the next generation of security experts, many worry a percentage of the students will use their skills to commit various cybercrimes, such as identity theft or stealing trade secrets.
Wang Xianbing—a security consultant for a prominent online hacking school, Hackbase.com—likens the training provided by the Web site to that of the locksmith trade.
"It's like teaching lock picking," he told Beijing Today. "No one can guarantee the student will become a professional locksmith rather than a future thief."
Rather it's up to the individual and his conscience whether to use his knowledge for good or evil, Wang said. Interviewed by China Daily, he said that the company's students are explicitly told not to use their knowledge for illegal activities.
"Lots of hacker schools only teach students how to hack into unprotected computers and steal personal information," said Wang. "They then make a profit by selling users' information."
Imparting such knowledge, even with caveats, runs obvious risks. Last year alone, according to China Daily, hacking cost the Chinese economy approximately $1 billion. Globally, Symantec estimates cybercrime cost firms a total of $1 trillion in 2008, reported CNet.com in January.
But money isn't the only motivation, reports China Daily.
A 25-year-old hacker school student from Shanghai surnamed Wang, said most of his "classmates" simply enroll in hacker school for personal reasons, such as spying on relatives, showing off their computer-savvy skills or taking revenge on a rival's Websites, rather than making money.
Wang described the Catch-22 of teaching a new generation of security experts the tools of the trade: "They have to learn how to attack a Web site before they can learn how to defend it."

CONTROL : Malaysia considering internet filter
http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/25355/84/
MALAYSIA is considering the establishment of an Internet filter, similar to China's abandoned 'Green Dam' project, a source familiar with the process told Reuters on Thursday.
News of the proposal emerged within days of police arresting nearly 600 opposition supporters at a weekend rally denouncing a government that has ruled this Southeast Asian country for 51 years.
A vibrant Internet culture has contributed to political challenges facing the government, which tightly controls mainstream media and has used sedition laws and imprisonment without trial to prosecute a blogger.
'They (the government) are looking to tweak the technical and legal details of implementing this Internet filter, setting the stage for its implementation late this year or next year,' said the source, who declined to be identified.
No one from the government was available for comment.
Malaysia plans to double home Internet penetration to 50 per cent by the end of next year with a new broadband project.
New Information, Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim, whose ministry issued the tender, also plans to secure control over the content and monitoring division of Malaysia's Internet regulator, a second source said.
'The minister wants to focus more on enforcement in the coming year,' the source said.
Malaysia, with a population of 27 million, attracted foreign technology companies such as Microsoft Corp and Cisco Systems to invest and guaranteed that the government would not impose controls on the Internet.
Ms Rais said last month that wider broadband access required more regulation.
'With the good comes the bad through the broadband over the Internet,' he said. 'We will introduce certain measures to overcome the bad.'
THREAT : Cyber security threat to India is real
Vicky Nanjappa
http://news.rediff.com/special/2009/aug/05/cyber-security-threat-to-india-is-real.htm
The demand for better methods to enforce cyber security has grown stronger since the November 26 attacks in Mumbai
India has a dedicated organisation, CERT-In -- which operates under the auspices of the department of communication and information technology -- to tackle cyber crimes. However, the agency is not a prosecuting body.
An officer at CERT-In told rediff.com over the telephone from New Delhi that although the agency does not have the legal power to examine cyber crimes, it can probe cases referred to the organisation.
CERT-In, which covers both government and military areas, says the threats relating to cyber security are on the rise. Common targets include critical infrastructure like telecommunication, transportation, energy and finance.
The attackers are not confined to information infrastructures and geographical boundaries. They exploit network interconnections and navigate easily through the infrastructure. More worryingly, these cyber criminals are becoming more skilled at masking their behaviour.
CERT-In consists a group of professionals headed by a director who investigate cases referred to the agency. It submits a report to the police station that has sought the agency's help following which a chargesheet is filed.
Why not a single agency?
Senior police officers say it is difficult to have a single agency looking at such cases.
If a crime is committed in a particular state, it is easier for police officers of that state to probe the case. At present, one police officer adds, no one person has complete charge of cyber security.
Although the Union government drafts all cyber laws and CERT-In assists in investigations, the final call can be taken by the cyber crime wings based in the states.
The only other national agency which can probe cyber crime cases is the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The prosecuting agency
The ministry for communication and information technology governs the system pertaining to cyber security. While the ministry is largely involved in drafting laws, the actual job on the ground is handled by the cyber-crime wings in the states.
The law is clear that a complaint pertaining to a cyber crime or threat can be assigned only to the jurisdictional cyber crime wing in each state. An inspector general of police heads each cyber crime wing; a superintendent of police, inspectors and sub inspectors report to her/him. Only this department can file a chargesheet and prosecute individuals involved in cyber criminal activity.
The inspector general of police reports to the state police chief.
An officer in the Karnataka cyber crime wing said it is often difficult to crack a case as the cell does not have enough IT professionals. In such cases, CERT-In's assistance is sought.
Experts feel the process of investigating a cyber crime is cumbersome under the present set-up. It is difficult to have a national level agency which takes a final call since Indian law clearly states that cases will be probed on a jurisdictional basis for all practical purposes.
R Srikumar, a former Karnataka police chief and chairman of the Cyber Society of India (Karnataka chapter), says that trained personnel could be inducted into cyber crime cells so that the procedure of referring the matter to another agency and then waiting for a report to proceed with the prosecution can be avoided.
Professor Chandrashekar, a forensics expert and a member of the CSI, believes dedicated teams of IT professionals should be appointed by respective state governments to work with the cyber crime wings.
Former CBI Director R Raghavan launched the first cyber society in Tamil Nadu. Professor Chandrashekar explains that the society's role is to train professionals in cracking cyber crimes.
He says the society will sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Law School, Bengaluru, to introduce a course in cyber security. The course will issue a certificate to certified cyber crime investigators.
Cyber crime wings in the states could then employ such certified investigators.
Although private security agencies investigate cyber crimes, the Union government has not made full use of their services as is the case in some countries.
Sources say the government may seek the skills of private agencies in select cases, but would prefer to improve official cyber crime wings since such cases often involve national security.
