The Houston Rockets are picking at the 14th spot for the third year in a row. They have picked forwards (two power, one small) in each draft since 2009. Einstein's definition of insanity comes to mind: you can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results. So here's a suggestion for the Houston Rockets: pick Austin Rivers, a shooting guard with elite potential.
In one superficial way, Rivers immediately brings a "star buzz" to the team: he is the son of Boston Celtics' coach Doc Rivers. This matters because the media will pay attention to whatever team picks Rivers; they will ask Doc Rivers questions about his son's game; they will play up the father son story and hype every angle; and this kind of attention, in terms of generating interest in a basketball team, is basically a good thing. So picking Rivers is a smart move for reasons having nothing to do with Rivers actual basketball game and more to do with pop cachet (that's entertainment, that's entertainment).
But on to the merits of his playing style. Rivers hit probably the biggest shot of the season with a game-winning three-pointer over UNC's Tyler Zeller. He brings an "I am the guy to take the last shot" mentality to a Rockets team severely lacking a star. The common criticisms of Rivers tend to focus on his "cocky" attitude and his Carmelo Anthony-esque revulsion to passing the ball; but personally I'd be most concerned about his 66% free throw shooting. If he can improve this percentage and learn to move the ball more, he could be an NBA all-star. He has proven that he is a talented shooter; and paired with the emerging talent of Goran Dragic at point guard (more on this later) and the solid performance of Luis Scola (or, more optimistically, Pau Gasol) at power forward, he could really contribute to a team that needs a player with his skill-set.
So bring on the trade rumors. Kyle Lowry may have inadvertently guaranteed Goran Dragic the starting point guard position next year by making one very puzzling statement: "If things aren't addressed coaching-wise, I guess I have to be moved." That comment comes in the context of this one by Daryl Morey, the Rockets GM: "We plan to sign Goran." You might be thinking: "who is Kyle Lowry to make this kind of demand?"–and you'd be exactly right. The skill difference between these two players certainly isn't enough to justify the drama and dysfunction of keeping a point guard who might be a delusional head-case. Lowry isn't Dwight Howard, though comparisons to the Orlando Magic do come to mind, albeit for an entirely different reason. This panelist believes Lowry is out, possibly packaged with Luis Scola in a 2-for-1 trade for Pau Gasol. That's a trade that could make a lot of sense for both teams.
Either way, Austin Rivers is a strong pick for the Rockets. If Morey can make a few more smart moves (namely, pick wisely at 16 and get the most for Lowry and/or Scola), maybe the Rockets can avoid picking 14th yet again next year.
Kentucky was the clear favorite to win the NCAA tournament this year and, of course, delivered on that promise. But more than one bracket—including this author's and President Barack Obama's–was completely busted when North Carolina's star point guard went down with a broken wrist (and fractured elbow, though this injury wasn't discovered until nearly two months later) mid-way through the tournament. At this point, it's not worth speculating whether the presence of a healthy Kendall Marshall would have furthered the Tar Heels' championship dreams: every player in this mock draft will be judged ultimately on future performances.
We need look only to this year's NBA Finals to see a great example of a point guard who has proven to be among the best in the league and totally exceeded draft-day expectations: Mario Chalmers. Just kidding. But while I'm not prepared to say that Kendall Marshall will prove to be the pleasantly-surprising offensive threat that Russell Westbrook (the player I had in mind) has proven to be, I do think Marshall could be quite good in the NBA and, probably more importantly, would help facilitate a cohesive offense.
Portland saw its version of a big three (Lamarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden, and Brandon Roy) disintegrate with the knees of Oden and Roy, neither of whom will play in the NBA next year (as of this writing, though rumors of a Brandon Roy return in the 2012-2013 season do exist). What happened to Portland is truly sad. Just watch this video, uploaded around January 2008. There were once high hopes for this team; but these hopes have long since evaporated and, in terms of cultural relevance in "Portlandia," the professional basketball team ranks, in some eyes, lower than their professional soccer team.
There are, however, some signs of hope for the team. In this mock draft, Portland chose center Andre Drummond with their 6th pick. With Aldridge, a 2012 all-star, at the power forward position, Portland could present a solid frontcourt next season (this view is optimistic vis-à-vis the Drummond pick, who could be a bust, especially since this is Portland we're talking about). The big question mark is Nicolas Batum, who may be an elite player or may just play one on TV (while commanding elite-player money). The jury is still out on shooting guard Wesley Matthews, who will play his fourth season next year. Operating under the Steve Nash principle (good point guards can make otherwise ineffective players substantially more effective), it stands to reason that Matthews, an 86% free throw shooter last year, could get "his shot" with more frequency if Marshall can bring an offensive spark and make great passes.
Again, this is all very optimistic—but this is a city that could use a healthy dose of optimism and faith in the future. Here's looking at you, Portland.
Draft picks are inherently speculative. And while it's not impossible to predict the future, doing so with any precision and accuracy requires, to be boringly scientific about it, lots and lots of data. And without dwelling on what that relevant data might be with respect to the Toronto Raptors and their 8th pick, let's take a look at the opposite end of that spectrum: sheer speculation without any cogent reasoning. This description fits many of the mock drafts out there and has been, stylistically speaking, an affront to the sensibilities of the various authors in these pages.
Trust me, his stock is only going to improve, so for those of you who say it's too early, think again.
Going back over the players taken thus far in our mock draft through picks 1-7, there are still a few players the Raptors could reasonably pursue if they wanted to go all-in on the speculative talent game that is the NBA Draft: in which millions of dollars are hurled at players with sometimes as little as one year in the limelight; in which the fortunes of entire franchises are married to players not legally able to drink; in which the hopes of a city are tied for half a decade at a time to some uncertain and unproven hero-of-the-day.
Uncertainty be damned, though, as the Raptors can assume control their own destiny by picking Damian Lillard, the highly-skilled scoring point guard out of Weber St. Lillard should be a solid NBA point guard wherever he goes; but Toronto could really use a reliable player at the PG position. Jose Calderon and Jerryd Bayless aren't exactly terrible. But neither seems able to elevate the overall offensive game of the Raptors' squad. If Lillard is anything, he is a scoring threat in his own right.
So let me be very clear about what exactly "controlling destiny" means in terms of the Raptors' future: on the one hand, the Raptors can improve from a team that won 23 games to a team that might scrap out 35 wins thanks to their new weapon at the PG position. On the other hand, the Raptors could morph into a team that makes it as far as the first round of the playoffs and loses.
In the first scenario, the Raptors keep Lillard and lose Calderon or Bayless and use whatever boost Lillard gives them to improve slightly over last year. They continue at this pace until . . . well, that's not exactly clear. They'll need another piece or two, that's for sure. And Lillard will have to deliver on the promise of his potential to become an elite point guard. During this maturation phase, even advocates of this approach admit, there will be lots of losing. But continuing to lose seems to suit the ideology of some who believe that teams "should" (a statement of values) build themselves from the "bottom up". In any case, the argument that the Raptors should keep their 2012 draft pick is, effectively, an argument that the Raptors should not bother improving substantially by making risky moves. They should stick with the ideologically pure course of losing–but losing the right way, with a chance of one day (when the next Durant comes along?) becoming legitimately good enough to win an NBA title. Advocates of this approach believe it involves less risk than the alternative.
On to the "risky"moves then. It seems very possible–even probable at this point–that the Raptors will trade their 8th pick to acquire a player with "experience" and the skills to lead the team to playoff contention. The big names being thrown around at the moment are Rudy Gay and Steve Nash. The Raptors 8th pick is gone in any scenario involving getting either Nash or Gay to Toronto. Rudy Gay is owed $53 million over the next three years, and Memphis could really use the cap room to surround their core of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph with better talent. They are also more than likely losing O.J. Mayo to free agency this year. Mike Conley is another player with a big contract Memphis could consider losing. All of which would point to Memphis being really interested in a scoring point guard like Lillard. The inherent risk in this move is that Rudy Gay simply isn't a marquee player that can hit the big-time shots that champions make. The combination of Gay with the aging-but-still-effective Nash, who said earlier this year he'd consider leaving Phoenix, probably is good enough, however, to pull the Raptors up from the bottom third of the league and put them on course to make the playoffs. The fear is that, since trading the current 8th pick probably isn't going to deliver a championship, the Raptors will eventually be in the same position they are now after Gay and Nash have moved on: losing, in need of a substantial rebuild, and without many options.
That the second scenario here is more probable doesn't make it right; but it's important to understand that "rightness" in this context isn't scientific at all. Why do Raptors fans go to games at all? What are they there for? In the meantime, the Raptors can just pick Lillard (or Jeremy Lamb, or Dion Waiters) and keep their options open. But don't be surprised if the Raptors 8th pick is packaged as part of a deal that will make the Raptors a better team, in the scientific sense, but will also be loudly lambasted in a cacophony of opinion for making the team worse.
The Charlotte Bobcats aren't simply one of the worst teams in basketball history (boasting an NBA record-low .106 winning percentage this year),they are also one of the worst managed teams in basketball.The skill-set required to be, say, the putative "Greatest of All Time" —a moniker often readily applied to former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan for his on the court excellence—is entirely different from the managerial skill-set required to assemble a winning team. In his career as an NBA office man making front-office decisions, Jordan has done much to widen that gap.
Questionable moves by Jordan as an executive include drafting Adam Morrison and Alexis Ajinca, neither of whom panned out for the Bobcats. Then the Bobcats traded a first round pick for Tyrus Thomas, whose production has been lackluster despite the $26 million he is owed over the next three seasons. Washington Wizards fans will remember the slew of failed decisions Jordan made in his short time as team president (hiring Leonard Hamilton to coach, trading Richard Hamilton for Jerry Stackhouse, and drafting Kwame Brown, to name a few).
The Bobcats were dealt another disappointing hand after the league-rigged (edit: controversial) lottery process awarded the No. 1 pick to New Orleans. Nevertheless, the Bobcats face a genuine opportunity with the No. 2 pick overall: but it's also an opportunity for yet another disastrous front office decision. It's hard to imagine how the Bobcats could get any worse; but the prospect of remaining this bad for a very long time looms heavy in this year's NBA Draft for Charlotte.
New Orleans selects the clear top player in this year's draft in Davis. With small-market constraints, low attendance numbers, and history of ownership issues aside, New Orleans actually presents a fairly attractive destination for Davis. Assuming Eric Gordon is re-signed Davis has another young star to help shoulder the burden of improving the team's performance in the coming years. New Orleans also projects to have the opportunity to bring in multiple significant pieces via free agency given their substantial cap room in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 after the spectacular trade of Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza. However, with this in mind, New Orleans should resist the urge to fix everything at once by splurging on multiple top free agents this year and instead follow the patient and methodical rebuilding process executed by Sam Presti and the Oklahoma City Thunder over the last half decade. This is especially true given reports that top free agent prize Deron Williams is only interested in returning to the Brooklyn Nets or heading to Dallas to play for his hometown Mavericks.
If the successes and failures of teams who drafted surefire stars in the last decade has taught us anything, its that overpaying ill-fitting and/or middling talent to support a young star is more likely to lead to that young star's exit than it is to garner his allegiance. This panelist believes, for instance, that overpaying for restricted free agents Nicolas Batum and/or Roy Hibbert would be a serious mistake. New Orleans only has to look at its own recent history to see where rushing the process can lead. If a better crop of talent had surrounded Chris Paul when he was in New Orleans this panel would likely not be discussing New Orleans and the first pick in the draft. If young, talented free agents and trade possibilities that fit what New Orleans needs present themselves then they should certainly pounce, but if the fit isn't right they would do well to bide their time and continue to develop Gordon and Davis along with whoever they end up with at Pick 10.


Few months ago I posted a good review on using Tile Mate Bluetooth tracker. It allows us to track an item we attach it to, or we can use it to find our phone. The battery of Tile is impressive, with 1 year without any charging. But it is also its weakness, because we can't recharge it, we can't even replace the battery. Once the battery is empty, we need to get a new tracker, albeit Tile has discounted price offer for existing users.
Why won't I choose a rechargeable tracker instead? Because the technology available today is far from perfect. Removable/replaceable battery would drive the size of a product bigger than it should. There is no point of having a bulky tag that is not practical in most places. Rechargeable battery would not last more than 2-4 weeks. This product is supposed to help people to remember where they put things, not to add yet another thing to remember: charging them. When a tag could only lasts a few weeks, imagine a scenario when we need to find our lost things, we open our phones hoping to "call" our tag, only to realise that the tag is out of power. Bummer. Doing a product with non replaceable battery might sounds counter-intuitive in the first time, but when I re-think of it, it makes sense if such design choice allow a tag to be conveniently small and the battery lasts long enough to the point it does not become a burden.
Tile Slim, as the name suggests, is an identical product to Tile Mate with one major difference: it's slim form factor. Tile Slim dimensions are 54mm x 54mm x 2.4mm. It weighs 9.3 gr, slightly heavier than Tile Mate, but really no one is going to notice 3 gr difference. The 2.4 mm thickness (or I should call it thinness) is the most impressive feature of this tracker. It makes it slim enough to be put inside a wallet without dealing major blow in wallet thickness.
Setting up Tile Slim is as easy as following on screen guide from Tile app. After activating our Tile, we can choose to categorise it according to where we use it: keys, wallet, purse, phone, car, bike, backpack, ID badge, briefcase, luggage, passport, remote, tablet, laptop, camera, headphones, spare key, coat, umbrella or other. As a nice bonus, we can also choose the ringtone it will play when we call it. There are only 6 choices available (Bionic Birdie, The Classic Call, Pep in Your Step, Blues for Slim, Jingle Bells and Auld Lang Syne) but for me they are more than enough. The sound from Tile Slim's built-in speaker is probably not loud enough if we put it inside our bag, but it's loud enough for my case, using it as key-chain. It's probably around the same loudness level as Tile Mate.
When Tile is connected via Bluetooth to a phone, we can check its location on a map. Of course based on the GPS location of the phone. When our item is lost, we rely on its community-based tracker to find its location. This means, we activate "Notify When Found" feature and Tile will connect to any nearest Tile user within its range and we can track it. I was again a bit pessimistic with how big this community is, but it shows a range of 4800+ people nearby around my home in Melbourne, Australia. Not a bad number at all. Not sure if that 4800+ number counts everyone in Melbourne, everyone in Australia or actually everyone within x kilometres from my location.
So far I have not had a single incident of accidentally pressing the Tile Slim button. It happens a fair bit with Tile Mate, being attached at a keychain in my pocket.
Basically, it's a nice product, a happy purchase. No special excitement because everything is essentially the same as Tile Mate which I already use. But Tile Slim delivers what I expect it to do. And that's all that matters.

Q: C# Trimming a string short syntax I am reading some code and I am struggling with the short syntax of trimming a short string readStudentData = line.Split(':')[1].Trim().Split(' '). (readStudentData is a string array). Can I get a little bit of explaination(the "[1]" part is the one that loses me)

A: It splits the string on the :.  This returns an array.  The [1] is an array indexing operation which returns the second item in that array.  It then trims that item, and splits that on a space.
Let's consider a basic example.  Say you have the string line = "title:hi bob "
line.Split(':')                       --> ["title", "hi bob "]
               [1]                    --> "hi bob "
                  .Trim()             --> "hi bob"
                         .Split(' ')  --> ["hi", "bob"]

which gets assigned to the readStudentData variable.

A: Split(':')
Means that you are you are going to split the string into a string[] of Length = n chunks whenever the character has been found. If no character has been found in the string, it will return an array of size 1 containing the entire string.
For instance: Name:Luis would return an array of size 2 containing Name and Luis
[1]
Means that you are accessing the second position. In the previous example: Luis
Trim()
Means that you are removing the leading and trailing whitespace.
and at the end you are performing a similar operation as the beginning, but with  as the character. Again, if no space was found, it will return an array of size 1

A: To add to other answers:
Trim() removes white spaces and tabs at the beginning and end of a string.

Renée R. Curry: On "Daddy"
You are here: Home » Renée R. Curry: On "Daddy"
Plath's interest in Germany and its relationship to exterminating and far-reaching power, particularly its consanguinity with nazism, emanates most forcefully in "Daddy." The vast majority of scholars who study Plath's poetry examine this poem and discuss the poem's (mis)use of Holocaust imagery as well as the black descriptors that permeate the work. Although Plath situates issues of racial dominance and Otherness at the forefront of this poem's literary tropes, scholars to date do not read this poem as evidence of Plath's white authorial position.
Annas reads "Daddy" as a poem whose landscape constructs social and political boundaries partially signified by blackness (A Disturbance 140). In addition, Annas claims that the purpose of "Daddy" is to exorcise "the various avatars of the other" (A Disturbance 143). Broe, however, finds Plath again locating an interchangeability among self and Other especially in the roles of victim and victimizer (175). Guinevara A. Nance and Judith P. Jones argue that the word "black"provides the significant spark in the poem that "ignite[s] powerful associations among culturally significant symbols" (125). Axelrod finds the father-as-black-shoe representative of a force "capable of stamping on his victim" (53). Furthermore, Axelrod suggests that Plath ironically designs her "aboriginal speaker" as only capable of "black-and-white thinking" (56). Clearly, the poem invites racially marked readings concerned with issues of Otherness; however, the scholarship does not effectively address the white authorship and imagination that creates this Otherness in the poem.
Axelrod ventures close to marking the poet's whiteness when he addresses Plath's interest in things German. He describes the emotional year that Plath experienced previous to writing "Daddy," and then he summarizes her psychological state:
She was again contemplating things German: a trip to the Austrian AIps, a renewed effort to learn the language. If "German" was Randall Jarrell's "favorite country," it was not hers, yet it returned to her discourse like clock work at times of psychic distress. Clearly Plath was attempting to find and to evoke in her art what she could not find or communicate in her life. (52)
Dyer explains that Germany, along with the Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians, evokes the "apex of whiteness" to the white imagination (19). What Plath desires at moments of psychic stress is a return to the purity she associates with whiteness as well as a return to her particular ancestral background which she claimed as German and Austrian (Rose, The Haunting 225). Yet any such return to or contemplation of things German, especially after World War II, ignited images of nazism for Plath and influenced an imaginative conflation of purity, personal ancestry, and the Holocaust. The language of "Daddy" reflects this conflation.
Jacqueline Rose insinuates that Plath's connection between her own father and nazism in "Daddy" is not the profound and ghastly stretch that other critics have claimed. Rose prompts us to entertain the idea that nazism relied heavily on the dominance of the symbolic father: "For doesn't Nazism itself also turn on the image of the father, a father enshrined in the place of the symbolic, all-powerful to the extent that he is so utterly out of reach?" (232). Clearly, Plath answers "yes" to this question by writing "Daddy." The poem opens with a metaphoric complaint issued by a "poor and white" foot that her "black shoe" will no longer do. The "black shoe," associated with Daddy, and associated with nazism, has become too constricting. In wanting to separate from her father and regain her purity—her white foot—she must blacken the father and remove herself from his taint. She must become Jew to his Nazi:
An engine, an engine
Chudding me off like a Jew.
A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen.
I began to talk like a Jew.
I think I may well be a Jew.
By taking on the markings of a Jew in the poem, she highlights the heart of whiteness debates: who exactly can claim to be white? In the context of the poem, Plath attempts to separate from her father, whose power she associates with blackness and nazism. As her father's victim, she takes on the role of persecuted Jew. Dyer explains that the Jews' relationship to whiteness has not been at all fixed in time. During World War II, the Jews, as compared to Aryans, were definitively not-white. However, like the Irish and the Mexicans, the Jews have been both included and excluded from whiteness throughout time. In particular, their special whiteness has been used as a "'buffer' between the white and the black or indigenous" (Dyer 19). The Jew that Plath becomes in "Daddy" is a "buffer" Jew in the sense that it permits her multiple associations with and protections from whiteness. As a Jewish victim of Nazis, she is non-Aryan. As a Jewish victim of Otto Plath, whom she describes as black in the poem, she is white. As a white woman claiming identification with Jews, she proclaims separation from the domineering whiteness of nazism. In "Daddy," Plath particularizes and multiplies her whiteness in relationship to and variance from the negative forces threatening her. Occupation of a Jewish persona permits her just such vacillation.
Rose argues that these vacillations provide Plath opportunities to experiment with varying psychic positions:
Plath . . . moves from one position to the other, implicating them in each other, forcing the reader to enter into something which she or he is often willing to consider only on condition of seeing it as something in which, psychically no less than historically, she or he plays absolutely no part. (The Haunting 236)
In Rose's reading, Plath exhibits a willingness to sacrifice her own claim to white stability, inheritance, and purity of position in order to hold up an incriminating mirror to readers. Yet, as Rose points out, there is the problem embedded in stanza ten—"every woman adores a Fascist." In this line, the incriminating mirror ricochets back from the reader upon yet another of Plath's interesting identifications; she changes from affinity with the victimized Jew to adoration of the Fascist victimizer. She claims this particular adoration as emerging from her womanliness rather than from her Jewishness. Rose reads this line and the following "boot in the face" line as housing such ambivalent agency that they suggest that women adore being violated and they worship opportunities to violate Others. This reading poses "the question of women's implication in the ideology of Nazism more fundamentally than has normally been supposed" (Rose, The Haunting 233). Plath has toyed before with this idea of white women as potentially culpable in oppression of Others in "Moon and the Yew Tree," "Bee Meeting," and I"Wintering"; however, as in most other circumstances, she ultimately recuperates the white woman from significant blame by concluding the poem with an image of the more responsible white male. "Daddy" thus ends with a visit from the villagers, similar to those of "Bee Meeting," who, this time, have come to kill the white man rather than the white woman:
And the villagers never liked you.
They are dancing and stamping on you.
They always knew it was you.
Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through.
In Plath's white imagination, white men's responsibility for oppression far outweighs that of white women.

Q: Trying to remove an element from array AND have the array "refresh" on the webpage in Javascript Javascript newbie here.
I made an javascript application that adds and removes item elements from a list array.
The add functions.
The delete doesn't function.
I think maybe the item elements are being deleted from the array, however; the array isn't being "refreshed" on the webpage.
Anybody know how to make it work?
Thanks,
Eliza
HTML:

GROCERY LIST-INATOR

Click the button to add an item to grocery list.

<button onclick="addItem()">Add item</button>
<button onclick="deleteItem()">Delete item</button>

JS:
var list = [];

function addItem (){
    var name = prompt("Enter item name:");
    list.push(name);
    var today = Date();
    var string = "Created on " + today + "
" + " My Grocery List:
";
    for (var key in list){
        string += "- " + list[key] + "
";
    }
    document.getElementById("list").innerHTML = string;
};

function deleteItem (){
    var item = prompt("Enter item name:");
    for(var i = list.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        if(list[i] === item) {
        list.splice(i, 1);
    }
}
   document.getElementById("list").innerHTML = string;
};

http://jsfiddle.net/elizaway/9d0376t1/

A: You are not updating string variable in your second function. Try add you string related code in second function before use string variable and you are done..
var string = "Created on " + today + "
" + " My Grocery List:
";
for (var key in list)
  {
    string += "- " + list[key] + "
";
   }

Above code come between for loop and this code.
document.getElementById("list").innerHTML = string;

It's always a special treat when you find that one wine that makes you do a little happy dance inside and smile with joy...and the '01 Corison Napa cab does that for me! When you're used to evaluating numerous wines on a daily basis, its sometimes hard to separate yourself from the analytical side and just take a step back but when you taste the 2001 Corison, you're immediately reminded of what great wines are supposed to do...to be enjoyed with immense pleasure. Caution, this wine is only to be opened with those who can appreciate its true beauty and balance!
This, for me, is the way Napa Cab should be made: deep, complex, and savory, with notes of spice and herbs, polished tannins, not over-ripe...and not over-priced! It will be my go-to for my next special occasion dinner when I want an exceptional Cabernet to show well yet drink better than younger Napa Cabs. It could use another 3 to 6 years of cellering, though, if you prefer less primary fruit and relaxed grip in your Cabs. Highly recommended!
I think in perhaps 5 or 10 years we will be talking about the 2001 vintage as one of the best of the decade for Cabernet Sauvignon in California. The 2001 Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon represents a unique opportunity to purchase a great 10 year old Napa Cab, perfect to drink now or cellar for another decade. These few cases were purchased directly from the winery, and are available at only a slight premium above the price of the current release, 2007. As much as I love the Corison wines (even the Gewürztraminer - I know, right?) I couldn't resist bringing a bottle home to try. When I pulled the cork the wine's aroma immediately filled the room, wonderfully floral like freshly picked violets. On the palate bright blackberry and cherry notes with a little hint of cocoa and spice; the oak is subtly applied and beautifully integrated. Tannins were quite firm when the wine was first decanted but softened a bit with air. The wine is really quite lovely now but can only get better with age. Patience will be rewarded.
"I had this wine for the third time recently on our trip to Napa and each time it appeared to show even more depth and character! The nose is full of floral and red berry notes. Bright fruit still shines in dark cherry, currant, black and red berry forms with hints of leather and cola to round out the complex palate. This wine is still youthful in all aspects and should progress nicely for quite a few years. This has easily been my first pick for anyone looking for a nice older wine (as are any of Cathy Corisons' wines that arrive in store through our Old and Rare program)."


Thanks to the transfer of the contents of my basement workshop from our daughters' house (our old house) to the barn, I left myself with only the barest of bones regarding tools and supplies necessary for maintaining a house, not for building or restoring furniture. Among the voids in the space was the hole left by the workbench that is no longer there. I found myself frustrated by not having any real workbench to use while visiting there.
With Mike Siemsen's inspiration fueling me, I took a new look at my workspace and the assets there. No, I did not have a workbench, but I did have this crude work-table along the wall. Built after supper one night several years ago, its only real function to this point was to hold stuff. I had a Zyliss vise on it, and it served my needs for the tasks of house-work, but not for serious furniture or restoration work.
These needs prompted me to retrofit this crude work table, making it into a spare but fully-functional Nicholson bench. The best part of the whole transformation was that it took less than two hours of hands-on retrofitting to accomplish, using boards from my stash in the lean-to shed. Cleaning the bench off took nearly as long as the new construction.
I first laid down the old table on its back and screwed a 10-inch wide apron on the front. Ideally I would have used a 12-inch wide apron, but there wasn't a 2×12 out in the shed. So, with my battery drill and decking screws a new apron was in place. The step of planing the 1/4″+ top overhang to be even with the apron surface took the most time of the whole project, and was really an unneccessary step had I been building this from the start. But I wasn't, so I had to plane off 1/4″ of excess overhang. I suppose I could have sawn it, but I just set up the fore plane to cut pretty aggressively and knocked it out.
I added a 2×8 backing board behind the apron to allow for use of holdfasts, which are the key to the use of a Nicholson-style bench. I drilled a dozen holes for holdfasts on the front then flipped the bench onto its top.
While upside-down I took some 2×10 scraps and screwed them to the underside of the 2x top, for the same purpose as the skirt backing board – it allowed the use of holdfasts. Also while it was upside down I screwed new 2×4 skids under the legs to raise the bench height a little. I prefer my workbench height to be taller than a lot of folks, to be even with the top of my wrist while my arm is hanging down, it's just the way I work most comfortably.
After turning the unit back into its upright stance, I drilled holes in the top for holdfasts.
Then I got to work. I still need to install a crochet on the apron and a planing stop through the top, but for now it serves the needs for my projects.
Even if you count the time I spent constructing the original table, at this point I have a simple and highly functional woodworking workbench for less than a half-day's work (!) and a few pieces of wood from the shed.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to make the presence of this bench a "selling point" if this house ever goes on the market, 'cause it's not going anywhere.
Make sure you sign and date it. That should be a selling point if the buyer is a woodworker.

A Soft Defense of Axis Powers: Hetalia from an Old Hetalia Fan
When the news broke that we'd be getting a new Hetalia animated series in 2021, I wanted to be happy. I wanted to celebrate and relive my glory days in a fandom that came to define so much of my life but I didn't feel like I could. Over the years, the anime and the fandom that surrounds it has been a, to be honest, mostly deserved problematic mess due to the series' subject matter and what some in the fandom do. But, some bad apples were never meant to spoil the bunch and thus, I write to you all, a small defense of Hetalia from one old fan who wants to taste glory again.
It was college, my first year and my first time really being away from friends and family for an extended period of time. I was alone, struggling and felt overwhelmed and afraid. My mental health was in the trash bin and I mostly suffered quietly reassuring my aunts and mom that I was fine and making friends when in all honesty I mostly ate lunch alone in my dorm and had to wait for my two roommates to be out of the room to do anything that I actually liked doing. This was before the Glorianna of my junior and senior years running the anime club and was me at my worst: isolated, insecure and overwhelmed. I had given up a lot of my anime and manga in the transition to college, desperately hoping that the intense fandoms I held in my "youth" would be the phase my aunt asserted it would be. I went to college trying to pretend like that part of me didn't exist and failed in the second part of the semester. I was back into anime due mostly to a slate of series that would end up becoming formative to me thanks to RP and my then best friend, Nicole. It was thanks to her that I was brought into a little series called Axis Powers: Hetalia. Hetalia is a play on words for the Japanese words for useless and Italia for Italy. The series features around personified countries during mostly World War II but also has some other periods of time mentioned throughout history and modernity. The series mostly centers around the Axis Powers: Northern Italy, Germany and Japan and their struggle against the Allied Powers: England, France, America, China, Russia and whoever else decides to join them for the sake of narrative.
You can see the inherent issue, right? Japan has a long history with not seeing WWII so much as a bad thing but a strangely fun part of history. To this day you can see people in Waffen SS uniforms for the sake of style and clout just walking around. Japan's problematic love-love relationship with Germany and Nazi paraphernalia is not something I have time to go into in full here, but needless to say; Hetalia suffers majorly from the bias of a Japanese man who wrote a comic as a racist joke while he was living in New York and continued on to impress upon the world his biased history of the world. Taken as writ, Hetalia is kawaii propaganda and I loved every second of it.
The countries have dynamic character designs and personalities: the history is loose but hey, that's not why I was there. I was sold from day one. I had characters I fell in love with, ships I wanted to sail and navigate and more importantly, it gave me something to do with my time. See, Hetalia, for having such a weak plot has a ton of trivia attached to it. Each country has a human name, a birthday, things they like and don't like and complex relationships not just tied to history. There are character songs, drama CDs, each country has their own version of the ending theme song not to mention at least 2 character songs that can tell you so much about them and their history that you'll never learn in the main series of manga. There were interactive flash games, the original webcomic and oh the fandom flourished.
Hetalia is the best kind of series for fangirls active in the shipping arts; it's sort of a boy's love by omission. Most of the female characters are so weakly written that they don't matter and most of the countries are male and often enter marriages or alliances with each other or have very close bonds with each other due to shared history. You could, in theory, make an argument for any ship and likely there was historical, social or political context for it beyond just the show putting them in a scene together. Immediately, I was enraptured. I spent time learning human names and birthdays (many of which I still know to this day), learning and translating character songs and writing; oh the writing. I carved up the map with my friends, laying claim to countries and taking a masturbatory pride in whose flag we claimed. The flags I flew and still do fly to this day are: France and Austria but I laid claim to many other countries. The series was exactly what I needed to help me connect to others.
But immediately, upon entering the wider fandom outside of my friend group; I was met with a group of mostly young girls that…well, let's just say weren't always on their best behavior. Now, I'm not here to shame DFW Hetalia: but their tactics to abuse badges is why so many panelists have to go through hell now to get badges for their volunteers; not to mention their clichy nature and less than high regard for public spaces: they were sharks in bad wigs. The rest of the fandom…well, let's just say that the stories, no matter how horrible, are often true. Many have kept the Nazi parts of their uniforms on screeching that it's costume accurate. Some have posed in front of concentration camps…some have done other Nazi stuff. I can't believe I'm writing this. Honestly, I was never shocked by this behavior mostly because most anime fans are already so culturally abandoned as Americans that we'd willingly side with literally any other country and the narrative as writ in Hetalia that Japan only joined the Axis Powers to make new friends. Hetalia also does a very smart narrative trick where it asserts that the countries as we see them are more representatives and they have "bosses" (the leader du jour) that really control their movements. So Germany didn't do a Holocaust, Germany's boss (Hitler) did. It's a great narrative tool: it keeps the characters sympathetic: like a good German soldier, Germany was just following orders.
To be clear, the bulk of the fandom isn't running around as a bunch of cosplay fascists but the stories of bad behavior are hard to wipe away from the collective memory of the fandom and con world. Not to mention the real life consequences behind acting poorly. Think about the current angst that comes with being a fan of Harry Potter right now. It's hard to distance yourself from the author's objectively bad words and keep yourself steadily in the lane of fandom that doesn't deny basic human rights to trans people. But now it feels almost dirty to be a Hetalia fan. The series has its own problematic elements if you ignore the less than perfect fandom and the less than perfect fandom is fed because the series is built on a problematic base. The rest of Hetalia centers around other world events and the movie doesn't even talk about WWII. There is more to the series than its problematic base, but that will always be its foundation. It will always be a webcomic created by a man who clearly loves WWII and not so subtle casual racism and xenophobia.
But I'm still excited. I have made so many friends and made so many memories and got so much joy from this series. I was, and am, still a very proud Francis Bonnefoy and proud of the ships I sail. I'm proud of the headcanons and spirited conversations I've had. I'm proud of the nights I've spent up translating drama CDs and the pieces of trivia that are still in my mind a decade later. I'm still proud to be a fan of Hetalia but I am also so very aware of how very damaged this beautiful world I call home is.

Why I Watch Anime
In my last post about Sarazanmai and my changing relationship with anime, something that kept coming up in the back of my mind was just why I started watching anime to begin with and why I continue to watch anime. Well, that's a little more than just a passing thought so let's explore that a little. Here are some of the reasons I watch anime.
To Escape
I'm a member of the Tony Stark Society for Disaster Orphans. My childhood was not great and my teen years were not great. Fundamentally, what got me into anime was escapism. I got to escape into worlds so unlike my own where I was stronger, prettier, more capable, or hell, even still had both parents. Consider the anime I fell into as a youth: InuYasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, YuYu Hakusho, Naruto, Bleach…most explored fantastical worlds and magical elements and took me to places I couldn't imagine. There were demons and monsters and ghosts and danger and magical lands, it was all wonderful and it was so much nicer than my aunts' impossible standards for me or my mother's immaturity.
I didn't always think of anime as a form of escapism but I did write (still do write) a lot of fanfiction and that fanfiction allowed me to be so much more than whatever my shell was and fanfiction aside, my taste in anime has become increasingly slice of life. I used to shun romance and more pedestrian series for shonen as a youth but now as I'm older just seeing things okay for a few people for once is really comforting and really nice considering that as of late the world (not just my personal life) feels like a fiery inferno that which the only escape is the sweet embrace of death.
To Find Closure
Losing your parents often leaves you with a bucket of what ifs that you just sort of carry around with you, like a box full of all of your desires. Watching characters fumble through their feelings, do more, do better, be more and be better helped me and still helps me work through my feelings. It may be why I had such a visceral reaction to Devilman Crybaby. I so badly wanted things to be okay. I wanted Akira to be okay, for Ryo to be okay, for Miki to be okay and when they weren't I felt miserable for them and felt all the moments where things were not okay for me all in one crushing, overwhelming moment. When watching Sarazanmai as Toi goes through the last part of his character arc I was utterly emotionally connected with him as I felt his same worries about nihilism and being a mere burden to those I called friends. I am an empathetic person and it is very easy for me to see myself in characters that have been through similar things to me. Trauma is a funny thing and it makes it very easy to project those feelings onto especially narratives. Think of those who found themselves so much in Harry Potter. So many had their own horrible families they didn't love and didn't respect them and so many found comfort in Hogwarts because it was a place to be themselves, to be better than their families, to be welcomed and appreciated. I watch anime to find closure because I know that I may never get that in my own life.
To Feel Something
Losing a parent young warps your entire world. It isn't always dramatic but it means that the average cookie cutter narrative just doesn't fly. Most shows I was watching at 12 still featured two parent households and that just didn't resonate for me anymore. Anime featured a ton of broken families, families ripped apart by death and circumstance and characters that didn't have to pretend to be okay as I had to. I got to experience emotions and defer a lot of my feelings onto fictional characters and it was instrumental in me working through my angst. Now as I am an older and much wiser hobgoblin I watch anime still to feel all sorts of things: love, joy, triumph, excitement, fear. As much as it stresses me out sometimes to have my emotions dashed upon the rocks of cold hard nihilism to feel shock and worry and emotion is thrilling and just something I don't get in most Western shows with the exception of BoJack Horseman or Tuca and Bertie, I rarely get that emotional release from Western narratives who tend to wallow more superficial story-telling or using framing devices and tropes that I find abhorrent or just plain tired.
To Learn Something
I fell into anime from an early age because of how radically different it was from the Western media I was surrounded by. I knew nothing of Japan as a youth and anime was one of the finest and best examples of cross cultural exchange that I could have been exposed to. I live in Texas and was raised in Texas. No one bowed here. No one spoke Japanese here. I didn't know what Buddha was outside of the large statues that hang around in Chinese restaurants. I cannot tell you how much I've picked up from anime alone. My vocabulary has changed, my mannerisms have changed, the way that I speak about myself and others. And no, I don't feel comfortable going to Japan on anime alone; I had to have the want to learn more on my own. I have dictionaries, language guides, vocab books and more to prove it. One of the biggest things I've learned about is actually cooking. I loved cooking for my anime clubbers in college and being able to make onigiri just like I saw in the manga I cherished so much was a delight that cannot be entirely expressed by words. I still watch anime to learn new things and my natural desire to learn often means that little things that are throwaway gags in anime become rabbit holes I dive down in topics ranging from demonology to why the hell bakus are so scary and Christan influence in Japan.
There are obvious reasons that I watch anime. I watch for enjoyment, for curiosity and because it is still something new and oftentimes exciting but this relationship is now over two decades old. The reasons I have now are likely not the same as they were when I was a teenager. I use anime to escape now in entirely different ways than the power fantasies I lived out as a teen. I watch anime now more to relax and to unwind. It's also still a key factor in many of the friendships I told dear. There was no neat way to add this but I'll say the most important reason I watch anime is because it makes me feel like I am part of something bigger than myself. I am proud to call myself an otaku and I am proud to be an anime fan. There is nothing like seeing someone's eyes light up when they see someone else wearing an anime t-shirt or merch from a series they love. The connections I've made because of anime and at conventions and by discussing these weird cartoons critically and passionately is something that doesn't fit neatly into a list but is so important to the experience.
I'm proud to be a veteran otaku and you see that pride during each one of my Twitter rants, panels, blog posts and more. I watch anime to be more than myself. To express myself. To learn. To grow.
I relish in fan casts, in shipping manifestos, in shipping wars and discussions about voice actors. I love translating music and listening to drama CDs and hoarding manga like a dragon.
Anime is a part of my life, so it was only natural that I discuss and explore why I watch anime to start with.

Boston Municipal Court Judge Hon. Serge Georges with 2016 Summer Jobs Students (from left) Fatima Adam, Alicia Zhang and Shirley Muscade at the BBA's Summer Jobs Celebration earlier this year.
While it may be getting colder outside, the BBA is gearing up for next summer and our much loved Summer Jobs Program. The Program is an integral part of Mayor Walsh's Summer Jobs Initiative to hire over 10,000 Boston teens each summer. With the help of over 40 law offices to secure jobs for nearly 60 teens last summer, we are one of the top ten largest private sector employers in the city. The Program is a long-time partnership between the BBA, City of Boston, the Boston Public Schools, and the Boston Private Industry Council (PIC), and provides students who attend public high schools in the city of Boston the chance to gain professional experience and earn a paycheck.
Earlier this month, The Boston Globe reported that a study completed by the UMass Donahue Institute for the Boston PIC found that while the unemployment rate in Massachusetts is at a 15-year low, these numbers do not reflect the unemployment levels of the Commonwealth's youth. Compared to 2008 when over 50% of 16-24 year olds were employed, just over 46% of the same population was employed in 2015. The Mayor's Summer Jobs Initiative is working to raise youth employment rates in Boston and recognizes the importance of gaining work experience early in life in order to maintain gainful employment in adulthood. The Boston Bar Association is proud to support these efforts and thanks all of our employer partners that have hired a student in the past.
Our Summer Jobs Students have had a successful record helping with many tasks in a busy professional environment. For more information on the program, please click here. If your office is interested in providing a Boston public high school student with a meaningful professional experience in 2017, please contact Cassandra Shavney at [email protected] for additional information.
At t he Boston Private Industry Council (PIC) Annual Meeting last week, attendees heard Boston Public Schools Superintendent Tommy Chang, Chief of Economic Development for the City of Boston John Barros and GE Foundation President Ann Klee express the importance of connecting young people with employment opportunities.
The BBA is proud to have partnered with Boston PIC for the past 23 years on the mayor's Summer Jobs Campaign. In our copy of PIC's annual report, we were pleased to find that the BBA is sixth on the list of PIC's top employers.
This year, we placed 58 students with more than 40 employers for the summer. They picked up many new skills in the offices of law firms, legal services organizations, and even here at the BBA. Thanks to funding from the Boston Bar Foundation, 10 organizations were able to employ a student at no cost to them, a benefit to some of our employers that are legal services organizations, government agencies, or courts.
In order to adequately prepare teens for the kinds of jobs that are available and desirable today, the team at the PIC has broadened the training students complete before they apply for a summer job, School-to-Career Director Josh Bruno said.
Before, career specialists focused on getting students through the interview process with flying colors – conducting mock interviews and building resumes. Now, students also receive a crash course in using common computer programs like Microsoft Office. The PIC also does an assessment of each student to determine his or her interests and strengths. For example, bilingual students in the BBA's Summer Jobs program were able to assist with translating documents and promotional materials.
Bruno said one of the biggest benefits of the BBA's program is that students are exposed not only to an office environment, but to enrichment seminars meant to promote career exploration and critical thinking.
"The orientation, morning meetings with attorneys, and field trips to places like the State House and the courthouses show students that the BBA is not just made up of lawyers. There are a lot of other jobs that keep the legal system running. All of that builds a student up and gets him or her thinking about their choices for their future career," he said.
To begin one of their final enrichment seminars of the summer, our Summer Jobs students filed through security, rode the courthouse elevators and took their places in the courtroom to watch a bankruptcy case unfold.
The court session may have been a mock proceeding, but the goal was to teach the students real lessons about the consequences failing to meet financial obligations.
Janet Bostwick, a longtime co-chair of the BBA's Financial Literacy Program, offered narration as other attorneys acted out the parts of a debtor, trustee and creditor in two hypothetical scenarios. Hon. Joan Feeney, who welcomes Financial Literacy participants into her courtroom multiple times throughout the year, walked students through a mock session in which a creditor repossessed a debtor's car.
Both Bostwick and Judge Feeney emphasized that most debtors are law-abiding people who fall behind, and not criminals. During the play-acted scenarios, the debtors racked up interest on credit card bills or fell behind on car payments. Judge Feeney explained that bankruptcy exists so that people failing to make ends meet don't have to spend time in prison.
"Bankruptcy is meant to be a fresh start for the honest but unfortunate debtor," Judge Feeney said, quoting the decision in Grogan v. Garner.
Students asked insightful questions about the process. One student asked how a bankruptcy trustee acquires the money to pay back creditors if the person filing for bankruptcy has no money. When asked what the hypothetical debtors could have done differently, students observed that they could have done more to save, spent less money on frivolous items, and paid more than the minimum on their credit card statements.
We would like to thank all of the offices and individuals who made the 2016 BBA Summer Jobs program possible.
Hon. Serge Georges Jr. (Boston Municipal Court, Dorchester Division) once again helped us commemorate another successful season of the BBA Summer Jobs Program. In his keynote speech to our Summer Jobs Students at a celebration for them last week, Judge Georges clued them in on traits that are essential to being successful in the legal profession.
"The two things that I hope you all develop are empathy and resilience," he said.
The students will need empathy in order to understand the challenges other people are facing, Judge Georges said. Lawyers and other professionals are often tasked with helping other people, but Judge Georges emphasized the importance of compassion beyond professional obligations.
Resilience is required, he said, because other people will not always show the same compassion. But Judge Georges reassured students that they will be successful if they hold true to their values.
"You will realize that what you accomplish just doesn't matter if you don't care about each other," he said.
BBA President-elect Carol Starkey, who assumes the presidency next week, emceed the ceremony addressing attorneys and other personnel from the law firms who hired students this year.
Ben Tayag, the Celebration's Student Speaker, said that he learned that "all jobs are what you make of them." He said the Summer Jobs Program taught him that even small tasks represent opportunities to learn more and hone your skills.
"Moving forward, I will be more prepared for other internships and jobs I may have," he said.
He also thanked his office at Holland & Knight for making him feel welcome and always taking the time to explain something new.
For their last enrichment seminar of the summer, the students in the BBA Summer Jobs Program got to tour the three branches of government by going behind the scenes at the Massachusetts State House and the John Adams Courthouse, which houses the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
The students had a few favorite oddities about which they asked many questions – including the "sacred cod" in the House of Representatives' chambers, a large fish that hangs from the ceiling. But they also asked many insightful questions about the process of passing a bill through the Legislature and signing it into law. At the courthouse, students got to try out the chairs used by the Supreme Judicial Court Justices.
At the State House, students enjoyed the Great Hall, where flags from cities and towns in Massachusetts hang. At the courthouse, they showed a lot of interest in the Sacco and Vanzetti trial, which resulted in two Italian immigrants being convicted for a murder they may or may not have committed. The two men were put to death.
When one student asked why the court would choose to commemorate that trial in spite of its negative implications for the justice system, she started a conversation between students and the tour guide about what lessons could be gleaned from the infamous case.
This group of Summer Jobs students was the first to take a combined tour of both buildings, and they said it was a worthwhile experience. We will definitely be back next summer!
When the summer began, Sherley Muscade didn't know much about urban planning.
Now, she can rattle off a series of buildings the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) had a hand in erecting. She has reviewed real estate documents dating back to the 1980s, reorganized the BRA's archives and gained a new perspective on old neighborhoods. She has even drafted important legal documents, such as mortgage discharge papers and land use agreements, to help the staff on the 9th floor of City Hall.
"I'm in love with the BRA," Sherley said of her summer job.
This is the first year the BRA has participated in the BBA's Summer Jobs Program, and the team working with Sherley had a lot of good things to say about her performance. She is an asset both in the office and on the playing field, having joined the BRA's softball team shortly after starting there.
Kate Sullivan, a receptionist at the BRA, said Sherley is "kind, professional and poised," which Sullivan found especially impressive for someone Sherley's age.
Though Sherley is not yet done with high school, she is seriously reviewing her college options, and said one of the best parts of talking with her coworkers at the BRA is learning more about their experience in their undergraduate studies and in law school.
"Everybody is a resource to me. They are unbelievably friendly and helpful, and always ready to share their stories with me," she said.
While Sherley said she does not anticipate pursuing a career in real estate law, she thinks her work at the BRA could be helpful years down the line when she gears up to take the bar exam.
"Before I started working here, I didn't know the bar exam covered all of the different types of law, so it's helpful to hear these new terms and learn how to apply them," she said.
In her application for the program, Sherley said she was looking for a way to make her summer more active and productive. Since she started, Sherley said the Summer Jobs program has helped her think "in more realistic terms" about her goals for her future schooling and career.
"The people here are so amazing and I had no idea how lucky I would be to get into this program," she said.
With the end of their summer internships on the horizon, students of the BBA's Summer Jobs program spent Wednesday morning with legal professionals involved in a diverse range of legal fields. Through this event, Exploring Legal Careers, students heard firsthand descriptions of each guest's chosen career path, asked any questions they had, and discussed a wide variety of legal topics.
Family law attorney Enjoli Alexander shared her unique experiences as a solo practitioner, emphasizing the flexibility her position provides. While it is essential to carefully manage her work and personal time, Alexander described her freedom with excitement, stating, "I can watch a movie in the middle of the day if I want to!" She also emphasized the fact that students can major in whatever subject interests them and still pursue law, allowing many legally-curious students to breathe a sigh of relief.
Kodie Richardson, a paralegal at Robins Kaplan LLP, offered insight into the whirlwind of challenges and opportunities one experiences as a paralegal. "There are times where you may get home, take a shower, put on clean clothes, and be out the door and on your way back to the office," Richardson described. "But it's exciting, and I find myself learning something new every day." Many students were also unaware what a paralegal was; Richardson happily explained that a paralegal is trained in an area of law, but not a fully qualified attorney.
Law students Courtney Person and Richard Jean Baptiste attending New England School Law presented a depiction of the law school lifestyle. When asked why they left their Florida and South Carolina homes for Boston, both agreed that they wanted to "compete with the best." They mentioned that the most important skill they have learned is how to effectively tailor an argument to its audience. "Even if you get the right answer, it won't mean anything if you don't know how to get your point across," remarked Baptiste. Person and Baptiste gave Summer Jobs students a valuable opportunity to hear firsthand accounts of law school, their next step should they decide to pursue a legal career.
Maureen McDonagh illustrated her work at The Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School. She analogized her work to that of a licensed driver teaching a permit-holding learner; law students within her program are able to perform the functions of a full attorney, provided McDonagh is there to oversee and "take the wheel" at any time. "It's really fun for the students to work on real cases while in law school," said McDonagh, "and for many, it's the most fulfilling aspect of their law school experience." Students were awe struck by the opportunities described by McDonagh. For many, her account was another point in favor of attending law school.
Adrian Bispham, attorney for the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, gave an iteration of criminal law from the perspective of a government prosecutor. As a member of the District Attorney's Office's Gang Unit, Bispham helps run youth programs that prevent neighborhood violence, such as Soccer for Peace and Overcoming Violence. "Most of the people I work with who are accused of a crime are 18 to 25 years old, which can be frustrating to see," stated Bispham. "It's important to have people familiar with these neighborhoods involved in the justice process," he highlighted when asked how he helps to minimize gang activity.
Formerly a judge's clerk and currently an in-house attorney, Jennifer Watson shared a wide range of experiences with Summer Jobs students. "Being a clerk is a fun experience; you're together with a bunch of law school graduates, consulting each other about the law, tossing the football around, and talking to the judge about your conclusions," said Watson. When confronted about the low pay expected during a clerkship, Watson argued, "The insight you gain into legal protocol and a judge's way of thinking make you an invaluable asset for the rest of your career." Most students had never spoken with someone with clerking experience, prompting a joyous onslaught of clerking-related questions.
Kevin Nolan, a business attorney focusing on private equity funds and institutional investment, gave the perspective of a large firm attorney. Upon being asked about the greatest challenges he experiences, Nolan referenced the constantly demanding nature of his job. "I sometimes don't spend as much time with my family as I want, and competing client interests sometimes make it difficult to please everyone," recounted Nolan. However, according to the attorney, the intellectual stimulation provided by his line of work makes the profession more than worthwhile.
Alicia Zhang, a recent graduate of Boston Latin School, knew for sure last summer that her dream is to become an attorney. This summer, at Peabody & Arnold, she feels she is taking one step closer to that goal.
Whether the task at hand is observing a hearing in court or helping to rearrange the firm's library, Alicia said spending time at Peabody & Arnold has helped her better understand workplace dynamics at an office job. While her previous experience working at a popular downtown café bustled with activity, this summer job has given her practical experience that she hopes to apply to her career someday, she said.
Alicia is headed to Washington University in St. Louis in the Fall, where she is considering majoring in psychology and international relations. She hopes that this will put her on the path to law school, something she learned more about at the first Summer Jobs Program enrichment seminar she attended two weeks ago. The session focused on the steps students typically take on their journey to the bar exam.
"[The seminar] was great because it really helped me create a loose track in my mind of what I want to do in college," she said.
In her application, Alicia talked about how much personal meaning it held for her when she volunteered to assist Somali refugees in Maine last summer. The stories they told her, along with her own family's story of pursuing the "American dream," make her want to be a lawyer.
While the BBA Summer Jobs Program is more than 50 students strong, on Wednesday, it felt like they each got one-on-one tips on budgeting, credit and how to manage their finances generally.
That's because David Gabor (The Wagner Law Group) called on every student individually during this week's enrichment seminar on financial literacy.
The M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy program teaches students how to make responsible decisions about money by using practical examples like balancing a checkbook and paying bills on time. It also introduces students to concepts they may not have encountered yet, such as a healthy credit score and buying a car. Finally, the program covers what happens when people fail to meet their financial obligations by outlining the basics of bankruptcy.
Gabor focused mostly on budgeting, asking students to give some examples of steps they take to watch their spending. One student said he carefully divides his paycheck between his savings account and expenses, like his cell phone bill. Other students asked about taxes coming out of their paycheck, how social security is distributed, why people refinance their homes, and how to report an error on their bank statement.
Gabor also discussed how a good credit score translates to better options for lending, especially for student loans.
